Of all the unsung heroes of the pandemic, I never expected to find inspiration in two zany, food-obsessed puppets. Netflix s new show, Waffles + Mochi, follows the journey of the hyperactive Waffles and meeping Mochi as they leave the Land of Frozen Food for a stranger and more colorful new world: the American supermarket.
Part travelogue, part children s education program, Waffles + Mochi follows the eponymous puppets journey as they learn about food: where it comes from, how to prepare it, and the stories it holds. As the newest (and certainly most unqualified) employees of the supermarket, Waffles and Mochi whiz around the world to tackle culinary mysteries: Is a tomato a vegetable or a fruit? What makes a potato magical? What exactly is umami?

“I’m afraid you should prepare for the worst. There’s a strong chance Millie’s heart will fail at some point in the next two weeks,” a doctor told 16-year-old Millie Sansoye and her parents, who were perched on the end of her hospital bed. Millie’s heart didn’t fail, but she spent 10 traumatic days on bed rest in hospital. “My parents were shell-shocked but I didn’t care whether I lived or died because mentally, I was suffering so much,” Millie, now 27, tells me. “It was only watching my mum, who never cries, sitting on my bed sobbing for half an hour straight that spurred me to fight for my life.”
