Under the surface

23.

"Alright guys, all I need you to do, is: Ollie, your going to open up and say 'Hey Guys! Prema here!', alright? Then Aurelia says "We are doing the Food Taste Challenge! Where we are blindfolded and presented with a food, which we have to guess.'. Sound good? And then Paul, your going to say: "3... 2.... 1, lets go!'"

"Sounds simple enough." Paul Aron said.

Aurelia only met him this morning, but he was an absolute angel. The three PREMA drivers already exchanged Instagrams, Facebooks, Twitters and their phone numbers.

"Going live in 3.... 2.... 1...." The PREMA cameraman said.

"Hey guys! I am here with Me, my girlfriend Aurelia, and my good friend Paul! We all drive for PREMA racing."

It was meant to be Aurelia's part now, but she was stunned. Ollie called her his girlfriend. To a camera. On a video. That will be seen by thousands of people.

While Aurelia was sat in silence, blatantly missing her cue, Paul stepped in, basically shouting.

"Today we are going to be doing the Food Taste Challenge! Where we are blindfolded and given a range of foods to try and guess!"

She remembered to thank him later for that.

"Uh- Lets go!" She says.

It was Ollie's turn to be blindfolded first, and his food was a Ham and Cheese Tapioca, a Brazilian dish, almost like a crepe and a sandwich put together. The Tapioca was from Aurelias list of Brazlian foods for the boys to try, with Ollie writing a British dish list, and Paul writing one for Estonian foods.

"Umm, alright. Wow. This is nice" Ollie goes on. "It's like a sandwich, but with a crepe instead of bread."

Aurelia giggles, and after Ollie's continuous guesses of "Crepwich" and "Sandcrepe". She told him it's a Tapioca, off her list, and is more of a snack.

"Haven't I had one of these before? A chocolate one! Ahhh I should have got that!"

"It's okay, Cariño. Alright, it's my turn now."

She put her blindfold on, and Ollie handed her a packet of something. She put it in her mouth and squeezed it. It was Lemon Curd.

"Ewwww! This is gross!" She squealed. She could hear the boys laughed their heads off, so she asked what it was.

"That Aurelia was Kohuke. Its an Estonian snack as well, a curd packet. Comes in different flavours but I like lemon the best."

Paul sat in the chair and Aurelia handed him another snack. A British one. A Kipling Cake. Paul put it in his mouth and immediately shouted: "It's a Kipling Cake! I love these!"

The rounds continued until they reached Ollie's final dish. Paul and Aurelia both got 6 points, only getting two wrong. They had done all of their dishes, so its Ollie's turn to see if he can get one final point and win the game, as he was on 6 points with one dish left. Ollie sat down first and put on his blindfold. Paul handed him a small fish, and Ollie immediately gagged.

"That stinks! Do I have to eat that?" Ollie whined.

Aurelia and Paul laughed, but both agreed the fish did stink. Ollie gently slipped it into his mouth, holding it by the tail.

"Alright, now bite it just before the tail, and don't eat the tail. Can you take a guess what it is?"

"Well. Its a fish."

"Well done Ol. Its a fish. Now what kind of fish is it Paul?" Aurelia asked.

"Its a Smoked Sprat. Very delicious, and my favourite type of fish, despite its smell."

"Darn it. Well looks like we are all on 6 points. And to be honest, that Sprat was kind of nice.." Ollie said

"And thats this month's PREMA Challenge! Now we challenge you! Try some of the same foods we tried, and post your reactions on Twitter, Instagram or TikTok with the hashtag #PREMAFoodChallenge, Good Luck!" Aurelia ended.

"And cut! You guys smashed that!"
