Annabel Crab, Hello, she. 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: Is well, good morning to you both. 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: Has there ever been crab on the menu? 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: Look? There has. Nigel Scullion, a frankly, delightfully crazy former 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 3: National Party senator from Darwin, took me in mud crabbing 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: and I was attacked in the boat by a crab 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: that we later ate. He also revealed to me that 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 3: he had once shot a mud crab off his finger. 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, that's what once they get onto your hand. 17 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: WHOA yeah, yeah. 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 3: But you can't beat that mutual crabbing experience. 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: I heard. 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 4: If you get bitten by a mud crab, people because 21 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 4: they wave it around in the air, you don't do that. 22 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 4: You put your hands back in the water and they 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 4: let go straight away. 24 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: Is that right? File that information away. 25 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: I've mainly dealt with blue swimmer crabs, and they are ridiculous, 26 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: those creatures. When you go, you know, crabbing with a rake, 27 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: they just want to fight you, even though they are 28 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 3: like one two hundredth sign. 29 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 2: They win every time. 30 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: An evolutionary tactic. 31 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: I read an article that you about you recently where 32 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: you said that with this show, it's the women that 33 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: feel more pressure than the men, because if men can't cook, 34 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: it seen to be somewhat charming, whereas theres a lot 35 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: of pressure put on women to be good cooks. 36 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: It's really weird. I find that my female guests are 37 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 3: always much more anxious about that, whereas I mean, like 38 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 3: Joe Hockey, for instance, a few years back, I mean 39 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 3: just didn't even know how to deal with an iceberg letters. 40 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: I mean like seriously, we got to his house in 41 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: Canberra and the plastic was still on the oven eight 42 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: years or something. 43 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: Wow. 44 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so kind of speaks volumes, don't you think. Yeah? 45 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: But I mean like kids and politicians don't cook when 46 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: they're in camera. They just eat terrible food and get depressed. 47 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: But like, I think women know on some level that 48 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: if they're bad at cooking on TV, people will draw 49 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: different conclusions. And I mean that whole thing with old 50 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: Julia Gillard's fruit bowl. One thing that makes me just 51 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 3: how would laughter every time I film this series is 52 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: every time I go to a female politician's house, that 53 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 3: fruit bowl has got so much bloody fruit and you 54 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: wouldn't believe it, like absolutely crammed. And that's been the 55 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 3: lesson you know this series. 56 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: You're cooking with Peter Dutton, did you what's that like? 57 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: Do you see his personality reflected in the way he cooks. 58 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: It is a really interesting episode that one's coming up 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: next week on a lot of levels. A. He chose 60 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: to cook me something that I've never been cooked by 61 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: a bloat before, which is seafood chowder. Oh right, wouldn't 62 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: even have been in the top hundred of things that 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: I you know, because the bloats off and are like, 64 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: well I'll have a chop and you can have a 65 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: piece of summer or something. But so and one thing 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: that I noticed about him as a cook is that 67 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 3: he had all of his gear out on the bench 68 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 3: and he just head down chop chop, chop, chop, chop chop, 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: did not leave that bench once. Okay, So that's interesting. 70 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 3: I always I always think that chopping is quite revealing 71 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: about people. But also he wasn't that keen on making 72 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: eye contacts, so I used to have I had to 73 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 3: keep keep having to kind of like, oh, wait, have 74 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: you here, buddy. And I think that is because and 75 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: I think people will find this surprising about him, that 76 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: he's a very shy bloke. He's very he's a bit awkward, 77 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: you know. Anyway, we have a big, long chat about 78 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: some experiences that he had early in his life that 79 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: I think have had a massive, massive impact on him 80 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: and the way he plays politics, which is, as we know, 81 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: incredibly hard and he is super black and white about people. 82 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: He says, you people are the goodies. You people are 83 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: the baddies, and you sort of find out a bit 84 00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: about why that is. 85 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: Wow. I thought he might have made a potato dish 86 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: you something like that. 87 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: Wow, mate, what do you know about seafood chowder? It 88 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: is a potato soup essentially. As soon as we walked in, 89 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: I can see these spuds on the chopping board and 90 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: I'm like. 91 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: Oh, we go, you, Universe, Thank you. 92 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: Some things that really work. Sometimes the universe gives you 93 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: a little present. I'm like, oh, can't help but notice 94 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: that you're handling a potato. 95 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: It's a gift like you, Annabelle. 96 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 4: Season two of Kitchen Cabinet starts tonight at eight o'clock 97 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 4: on the ABC and ABC I View. 98 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: Annabel Crab, thank you. 99 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: You are so welcome.
