00:00 Well I'm putting the new Franz cafeteria to the test. I've got a falafel wrap here.

00:07 Now this place is as far as we know the only Syrian restaurant in Blackpool so

00:14 it's offering things a little bit different. I'm not familiar with Syrian

00:18 cuisine. It's falafel wrap so I'm just gonna go on personal taste and see what

00:27 it's like. Now then I'm trying to do this one-handed so it's I'll have to make

00:32 sure I don't destroy the joint. Alright okay marvellous. I've had a bit of help here

00:39 they're gonna record for me so I've actually got two hands.

00:43 Right it never looks good when you film Scottish food does it but let's just see

00:49 what it's like. It looks nice. Let's see how it tastes.

00:56 Wow

01:03 Wow it's really good. It's the flavour. What have we got here? You tell me what

01:14 we've got. Check this. Mixed veg. The bread is fresh. I make the bread as well.

01:22 Wow. Hummus, tahini sauce and some spices. I cannot tell you about it.

01:29 Right it's not the secret ingredients.

01:33 There's no elegant way of eating this but I tell you what it's absolutely

01:42 fantastic. Definitely worth a try. The texture of the bread and the flavours are

01:50 second to none. Wow that's really good. Okay thank you
