Ed Sheeran’s Weirdest Food Experience
During a Q&A session with the host, Kapil Sharma, Ed Sheeran was asked about the strangest food he had ever eaten. Ed revealed that the oddest thing he tried was fish sperm at a sushi restaurant in Japan. He explained, “In Japan, they have this dish called Shirako. It’s basically fish testicles that you eat, and they burst in your mouth. Some people love it, but I’m not a big fan.” This revelation left Kapil Sharma and co-host Archana Puran Singh, along with the audience, both surprised and amused.
The show took a delightful turn when Ed Sheeran joined in singing a popular Hindi song. Kapil Sharma, known for his singing talent, decided to teach Ed a song.
