(playful instrumental music)

Usually, I wake up and it's a struggle.

So, I actually have these things

that I keep by the bed called GO Cubes,

that are like caffeinated cubes.

And I usually just like eat one of those,

and then go back to sleep.

And then, slowly the caffeine enters my system

and then I like wake up.

Normally, I just don't eat all day,

and then eat one giant meal at dinner.

But right now I'm pregnant,

so I obviously don't have that luxury.

So lately, I've been waking up

and I make this thing called butter toast,

which is where I melt

like a stick of butter (laughs) on a plate,

and then I like put toast in it,

and then turn the toast over,

so the toast is completely saturated in butter.

And then, I put a little bit of jam on it and eat that.

But, it's actually incredible.

Like this buttered technique, it's great.

So I'm allowed 200 milligrams of caffeine

per day, right now.

For caffeine, I'm between the GO Cubes and matcha.

So I'm really into the fancy matcha from Little Tokyo.

Then you get the weird whisk thing and you whisk it up.

I mean, usually my typical breakfast is the butter toast

or a fortified cereal, like Raisin Bran (laughs),

with maybe cut some bananas, like blueberries,

I don't know raspberries.

I actually hate fruit,

but I am supposed to eat it right now.

I, basically, hate everything besides carbs and fat.

Like I actually dislike vegetables pointedly,

but they're important to eat.

It's just like vile.

It's like broccoli, like what the (beep)?

It's like actually disgusting,

I don't know how anyone eats it.

(Grimes laughing)

So to clarify, I usually go to bed

around six in the morning.

Like my breakfast usually happens at like noon or one p.m.,

so my lunch is technically kinda like my dinner.

I wanna make a cookbook for people who can't cook.

This kinda like, just weird shit you can make very easily.

I'm really into this weird recipe I made called sludge.

It's like you take couscous, you make the couscous.

You take, actually I shouldn't

say this 'cause it's kinda gross (laughs).

- [Film Crew Member] Say it, I wanna know.

- You take like a ton of Vegenaise, take a ton of sriracha.

And then just like cut up,

weirdly celery tastes really good in this,

tomatoes, just sort of like take all the vegetables.

If you steam some spinach, and you throw it all in.

And you just make this sludge, like this couscous sludge,

that's like spicy and got Vegenaise.

It's like weirdly good.

And Vegenaise, I would say,

it's one of the few vegan things that's notably,

profoundly, better than the original.

I just, I would die for Vegenaise.

I wouldn't die for Vegenaise, I mean, that's hyperbole.

Like on tour and stuff, typically in the past,

I've been quite like not good to myself.

On the last tour, for my last record,

I had this thing, 'cause I was vegan.

And I had this thing where I was like,

I was like the only reliable food is spaghetti.

So I was only eating spaghetti for like a year or two years,

I only ate spaghetti.

And then I was just like so sick.

And my hair actually stopped growing.

And I went to the doctor, and the doctor was like,

"You actually are malnourished from not eating vegetables

"or meat, and just eating spaghetti for two years."

But yeah, 'cause spaghetti is the only thing though,

like in every city it's good.

But yeah, I won't do that again.

I won't make the mistake again

of only eating spaghetti on tour.

Spaghetti is divine though.

My favorite restaurant is Cactus Taqueria.

I get the veggie burrito.

I get all the green sauces.

I think it's called salsa verde.

Verde, please excuse my incredible ignorance, I'm Canadian.

And I just put like a massive amount of green sauce.

It's definitely not called green sauce,

on the veggie burrito.

Like I don't do cheat meals,

'cause I don't believe in like dieting.

I just feel like there's like a lot of bad shit in society

about body image and stuff.

So like, I don't know, I try to just eat what I want.

But my comfort food, I guess, oh, salt and vinegar chips,

Miss Vickie's Salt and Vinegar chips.

Specifically, binge eating

Miss Vickie's Salt and Vinegar chips while watching TV,

is like one of the best experiences you can have.

What am I snacking on?

Oh, I'm supposed to eat, it's vile, but just pure,

and I forget why I'm supposed to eat it,

but the cottage cheese.

Just eating a lot of cottage cheese.

There's some nutrient I'm supposed to get from it.

Well I invented, well it definitely existed before,

I probably didn't invent this.

But I invented this like weird thing,

where I like make a thin thing with a tomato.

And then I like chop some avocado on it.

And then I put like a bit of nutritional yeast on it.

Like salt and pepper, and it's like a weird little sandwich.

It's quite good, it's a weird snack.

Although now, it's giving me heartburn

'cause tomatoes cause heartburn, or something (laughing),

they're like acidic, I don't know.

I eat a lot of xiao long bao, or dumplings.

That's one of my primary dinner, favorite dinner things.

Dumplings are pretty fantastic.

Dumplings are like spaghetti,

where they're one of these incredible foods

that always tastes good.

But unlike spaghetti, they have more like nutrients.

I love hot dogs because they don't kill cows for hot dogs.

So it's like you can eat hot dogs without guilt,

if you need meat but you still have vegan tendencies,

or you wanna try to like avoid creating demand for stuff.

'Cause it's just all the waste,

it's all the extra product, so.

I'm a huge proponent of hot dogs actually.

And it is the best tasting meat as well,

so it's basically a win, win.

Well, the best hot dog place is Vicious Dogs in L.A.

I get the Green Hornet,

where the just put avocado all over it,

and it's like super spicy.

And it's just like a hot dog

with like tons of like guacamole.

I like the food in L.A., but I'm from Vancouver,

which is like a pretty good food city.

I think Tokyo might be the best food city.

There's one Japanese spaghetti place in L.A.,

it's called Pasta e Pasta, and it's in Little Tokyo.

And you can get like the Japanese style spaghetti.

But which a lot of people tell

me it's like not a real thing.

But, I don't know, like the noodle seems slightly thinner,

it's a bit saltier.

It's just like, there's like a slight nuance

to this Japanese spaghetti that I think is quite special.

Dinner date?

I mean, this is probably sort of like a crazy thing to say,

but I've definitely been on a great dinner date

to Mastro's Steakhouse, I guess.

It just feels really mobby in there.

Lots of like old men, in like suits,

with like pinky rings, like eating steaks.

And I'm just like, "Whoa."

Right now I'm not drinking at all,

but love like dark beer, I guess.

Like I love like thick beer.

I also really love kombucha,

which, I recently discovered,

doesn't actually contain anything good for you.

Oh, I really like, right now, I'm drinking a lot of kefir.

It actually, lately, it's just the one

pregnancy craving I have is just actually a glass of milk.

Which is so weird, because I haven't had a glass of milk

in like, probably 20 years.

But lately, I've just been having a glass of milk.

Just cows milk.
