Speaking exclusively to <\/span>RadioTimes.com<\/span><\/a>, Brown confirmed that the feast her and Laurence O\u2019Fuarain\u2019s Fjall eat in episode 1 was far from fanciful: \u201cIt started out by having to eat this cold, wet fish \u2013 I can\u2019t even remember what type of fish it was \u2013 but it was horrendous.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During the scene, Brown\u2019s bard warrior \u00c9ile plucks the eye out and bursts it in her mouth ever-so-casually. But was the eye as real as the fish? \u201cIt wasn\u2019t, thank god. They made several sort-of marzipan eyes and put sugar coating over them as a sort of effect.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut when you\u2019re eating cold fish and then marzipan together\u2026 it\u2019s a combination that shouldn\u2019t ever be. So, then they changed it after I ate three-or-four marzipan eyes to grapes which was much better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Cold fish, marzipan and grapes don\u2019t sound like the most appetising combination, and evidently the strange combination was a little too much for Brown.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAfterwards, I threw up for like half an hour,\u201d she recalled. \u201cBut, it\u2019s one of those things where you could kind of indulge and be like, \u2018Oh I\u2019ve <\/span>got <\/span><\/i>to do this.\u2019 So it was still fun!\u201d<\/span><\/p> It\u2019s not the only difficult challenge Brown faced during her time on The Witcher: Blood Origin \u2013 aside from eating cold fish eyes, she became acquainted with the instrument of the Nyckelharpa, \u00c9ile\u2019s melodic weapon of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got a video of me playing the first eight bars of the song I sing or so \u2013 it was cool I could do that! But to be able to properly let go, you have to be a skilled musician with that. The fight scenes were easier to get my head around!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n It seems that no matter who you are, when you join the world of The Witcher, you\u2019ll find yourself doing, and perhaps eating, things you never imagined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Witcher: Blood Origin arrives on Netflix on Christmas Day 2022.
