Gringo.

Ah, super ocho!
24
Versus Reese's.
25
So we're supposed to guess if this is cake or not?
26
Or is that a different show?
27
So this is a very famous,
28
this would be like, This is a wafery,
29
it's not even really a chocolate bar.
30
This is a Reese's, this is the large format.
31
This is the IMAX version of the Reese's.

It's a big cup.

Super 8's that much better?

Well, get ready to have a case of it shipped to you.
41
Sorry, Chile.
42
Are you a fan of the mini version or do you like the IMAX version?
43
I like the IMAX version because there's more peanut butter.
44
A little bit of a Kit Kat thing going on here.
45
It's pretty good.
46
So I'd say I would go with the Reese's though.
47
I'd give Reese's for me to score it.
48
Reese's beats all for me.
49
We've started too high.
50
I don't know where to go but down.
51
That's good.
52
E.T was right.
53
Exactly.
54
After a quarter pounder with cheese.
55
This one I know what this is.
56
I grew up with these.
57
This is McDonald's, isn't it?
58
And I haven't had one of these in a while.
59
But we're having McDonald's in the UK, which isn't the same.
60
This whole thing is a fraud.
61
These are empanadas.
62
So tell me about this, Pedro.
63
This is just meat and caramelized onion and some olives and some delicious,
64
especially if you get it in Chile because of the bread there.
65
We've got some dipping sauce for you there in that little.
66
Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and get some cheese in that little salsery, pickley thing.
67
Yeah.
68
I grew up on these.
69
I mean, first of all.
70
I have to say, I think you get the round here.
71
Yeah, first of all, how dare you?
72
Empanadas versus a quarter pounder with cheese?
73
No. Well, they're very different than empanadas you get in Argentina.
74
Oh, how's that?
75
It's the size, the way that they're made,
76
the combination of meat and potatoes and the olive, black olives and onions.
77
These are good, where'd you get these?
78
I actually got them, there's a Chilean restaurant in Paddington.
79
I'll take this.
80
Somebody put this in my room.

You know, on the film set,
82
never is always like, oh,

Although the quarter pounder, It is yummy.
89
I do like it, yeah.
90

I think the quarter pound of cheese definitely is the best of the bunch.
93
I'm a fish filet man myself.
94
All right.
95
Filet-o-fish.
96
Filet-o-fish.
97
Is it filet-o-fish?
98
It's not even fish filet.

No. It's a filet-o-fish.
100
I guess that gave me away.
101
Mars cookies.

103
Is that supposed to be the US?

Oh, yes, must be.
105
Ah, no. Now what's this?
106
Ah.
107
This is a manjar cookie.
108
So this is a dulce.
109
So what you would say is dulce de leche,
110
but in Chile it's manjar.
111
And that's the condensed milk.
112
If you boil it for eight hours, there's no...
113
You don't have to try the Mars cookies.
114
This looks like what Baby Yoda was eating.
115
Yeah.
116
Except it's not blue.
117
Oh man, it is really nostalgic.
118
Very sweet.
119
We do sweets very well.
120
It's really good.
121
Yeah.
122
It's not too sweet, actually.
123
You know, the sweets are diabolical in Chile,
124
especially when it comes to mancarat.
125
And it's part of everything.
126
You can have it for breakfast.
127
You can spread mancarat.
128
It's like a, it's not,
129
it's, it's, you put it on toast.

Oh, no, you can't do me five guys.
143
Oh, yeah.
144
You got a strawberry milkshake from Five Guys.
145
And a vanilla shake from Chile.
146
It's a banana.
147
Banana con leche?
148
That's not a good sign.
149
If you said it's vanilla, it's banana.
150
Yeah, it's banana with leche condensada.
151
They're both good.
152
I gotta go with this one.
153
Is this the strawberry one?
154
Mm-hmm.
155
It's special.
156
But this is a disqualification.
157
Because it would be better if we were in Chile.
158
Ah, there we go.
159
Oh, peanut butter and jelly.
160
Peanut butter and jelly.
161
Versus...
162
What do you got?
163
What is this?
164
Is this palta?
165
It's avocado.
166
It's palta.
167
So it's maraqueta?
168
Huh?
169
Maraqueta pan.
170
Which is a chile. And palta.
171
Is pan con palta?
172
This is a breakfast thing.
173
Well, I suppose that would be a, or a tea thing.
174
This is about right.
175
You never got peanut butter and jelly.
176
And this is for what?
177
This is like a.
178
This is my favorite.
179
This is my favorite.
180
This is your afternoon tea special? Or breakfast.
181
This is my favorite.
182
You guys are doing well.
183
Thank you.
184
What's this bread?
185
Is this a special bread?
186
This is maraqueta.
187
This is really, really good bread.
188
They make great bread in Chile.
189
And you get it fresh.
190
And it's really just a healthy snack.
191
So basically, all you do,
192
you just mash up the avocado.
193
You put salt and olive oil.
194
This one's going to be tough,
195
though, because I got to say,
196
peanut butter and jelly, I mean, it's not as flashy.
197
It's what I grew up with.
198
Peanut butter is really good.
199
I know.
200
I would go for that more just because of my childhood.
201
There's no comparison for me.
202
I mean, and that's OK.
203
I'll give you this one because I think that is probably better quality.
204
I'm very impressed, though, with the Chilean food.
205
I've never had any of that.
206
Except for empanada.
207
We've got good snacks, you know?
208
And I underestimate how good the snacks are.
209
Can we send this to my room again, please?
210
Chile one.
211
Yeah!
212
Viva Chile!
213
Congratulations.
214
Thank you very much.
215
Chile and the US has finally amended their relationship.
216
It's too bad it's not UK snacks,
217
because I love how people in the UK think that they have good snacks.
218
I'm Australian, so I'm not in the comments.
219
Shots fired!
220
What's your stance on Marmite?
221
Huh?
222
Stance on Marmite.

I mean, listen to how it sounds.
224
Marmite.
225
Mm.
226
It's not glamorous.

These kitchens have gone a disaster!

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
