0:00.0 | I love Danny Boe, coming subscribe to the book I'm spending. I love Danny Boe, I listen |
0:09.0 | on the top subscribe with me, I love Danny Boe. |
0:14.0 | Well, you're all hums, uh, apricots. Because we talked about this on the last, by the way, |
0:19.1 | I haven't clear what we were talking about last, so I'm not even going to bother trying |
0:22.0 | to pick up the track of our conversation. We talked about hums and apricots and here |
0:27.7 | is one dried and they're absolutely delicious. Very incredible. There's so many things to |
0:33.6 | say about the Huns that because they were the longest lift people in the world. And, you |
0:39.2 | know, the Raj, sort of, took over the Huns, which was a sort of a principality kingdom |
0:45.5 | between Afghanistan and Pakistan, right up at a very high altitude, I think, you know, |
0:51.4 | 15,000 foot upwards. So not many things grow at that altitude. But the things that do grow |
0:58.7 | things like cherries and apricots, you know, all the things that would grow at a high altitude |
1:04.9 | in a reasonably warm climate. And the people in the next valley, one side, the next |

1:29.4 | of minerals, just full of them. So they water the plants with them and so on. And there's |
1:35.1 | not a lot of wood at that altitude that they want to burn. So they generally cook food |
1:39.8 | lightly. And that's one of one of the secrets. The other is that the glacial meltwater makes |
1:46.8 | the food so rich in in a mineral content that a they taste special. Now one of the things |
1:56.4 | about these apricots is that they grow wild. They haven't been hybridized. We're used |
2:00.1 | to fruits where you get a bag of plums, a bag of apricots and they all taste the same. |
2:05.1 | One of these is distinct. Because each one has probably come off a different tree. And |
