There was a behind the scenes situation that played out with this segment. One of the show hosts was incredibly nauseous that day and could barely keep any food down. But, she was a trooper and came to work anyway.. and managed to eat a spoonful of sorbet. That left the other one to try one of the balls of ground up food on camera. There is nothing in the job description of a TV host that specifically states there may be a moment where it's necessary to eat balls of ground up food on TV. Sometimes it just happens. I found out after we went to commercial break that she didn't enjoy the taste that much but none of us knew. She did an excellent job of acting like it was delicious even if she didn't care for it. Food is one of those things that is delicious to one person and the next person doesn't like it. It's never predictable.
I shot a few photos of them during the segment eating sorbet and balls of salad:

Hot towels to prepare hands for eating the balls |
A spoonful of sorbet to prepare the pallet for tasting the balls |
There's only one way to eat a ball and that's to open wide and shove it in |
