The speaker is trying to eat a healthy snack, but is disappointed with plain bread. They then think about adding jam or chocolate, but decide against it due to health concerns. The speaker then starts talking about vegetables, mentioning that they know all the vegetables in the world. They challenge someone, likely a child, to guess which vegetable they are holding, using a "blindfold" to conceal the vegetable. The child tries to guess the vegetable by touching and smelling it, but is unable to identify it. The speaker then reveals that the vegetable is a courgette, but not a green one. The child is still unsure, but the speaker says it's okay, that it's a tricky one.
The speaker then mentions a second vegetable, which they describe as being similar to a pen. The child tries to guess again, but is unable to identify it. The speaker then reveals that the vegetable is actually a yellow courgette.
The speaker then moves on to a third vegetable, which they describe as being odorless and shaped like a rocket. The child tries to guess again, but is unable to identify it. The speaker then reveals that the vegetable is actually a golden melon, which is a fruit, not a vegetable.
The speaker then moves on to a fourth vegetable, which they describe as being rubbery and shaped like a ball. The child tries to guess again, but is unable to identify it. The speaker then reveals that the vegetable is actually an aubergine.
The speaker then moves on to a fifth and final vegetable, which they describe as being prickly. The child tries to guess again, but is unable to identify it. The speaker then reveals that the vegetable is actually an artichoke, but then says that it's not an artichoke. They then reveal that the vegetable is actually a carrot.
