Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot got American talk show host Jimmy Fallon to try gefilte fish for the first time in a cultural food trade-off. 

During the show on Monday night, Mr Fallon prepared Eggnog, a Ho Ho chocolate bar and Taco Bell for her to try, while Ms Gadot offered up sufganiyot (a jam doughnut usually eaten at Chanukah) and the traditional Jewish fish dish. 

While the sufganiyot proved to be “one of the best jelly doughnuts I’ve ever had” according to Mr Fallon, he was at first sceptical about the other dish – placing a bin next to his head before trying one of the “floating balls”. 

However, once he put one in his mouth, he was pleasantly surprised: “I love this.” 

Whilst Ms Gadot was not too keen on the Eggnog, the Ho Ho was “very sweet” and the Taco Bell was “the best.” 

The Israeli actress was on the show promoting her new film, Wonder Woman 1984, which is in cinemas and on HBO Max now.
