Phil: OK, yeah. Food is one of my favorite subjects.
Todd: OK, so let's start out with fruit. OK, what's your favorite fruit?
Phil: My favorite fruit is raspberry, which you can't get in Japan.
Todd: Oh, raspberry.
Phil: Oh, well, you can get it in Japan but it's really expensive.
Todd: I love raspberries. Actually, where I'm from in the states, we have loads of raspberries for free.
Phil: My grand used to have them in her garden so when I was kid, it was always someone picking the raspberries and like vanilla 1 ice cream and raspberries together.
Todd: Oh, man, yeah. My grandmother, actually, she used to make raspberry cobbler.
Phil: Cobbler?
Todd: Yeah. Oh, you don't have cobbler. You probably have a different name for it in England. It's like a pie, but it's really sweet. You take the blackberries or raspberries, and it's the filling and a pie crust over it. It's a pie. They call it cobbler, so..... Actually, speaking of British food, what's a scone 2?
