I think, generally, we have the same at home.
2:53
Like, we eat a lot of food from different countries.
2:56
But I have to say I usually cook quite a lot of pasta

4:08
So I never, ever have baked beans.
4:11
Well, 'never' is something that we don't do.
Yeah. I think, generally, we have the same at home. Like, we eat a lot of food from different countries. But I have to say I usually cook quite a lot of pasta and quite a lot of...
