Great British School Swap viewers were left tickled during Tuesday night's episode, when one mum tried to find 'halal lettuce' in her local supermarket.
During one part of the show - which sees children from vastly different school in Birmingham merge in order to explore racial segregation in Britain - Dan's mum Kate invites Miriam's family over for dinner.

With paprika chicken, salad and chips on the menu, the family set off to their local supermarket for the ingredients, but it appeared Kate wasn't too sure on what halal was.
Dan guessed: "I think it's a certain cut of meat that you're not able to eat, like I think it's the back end of an animal."
Later, as Kate loads up her basket with ingredients, Dan thinks to check, "Mum is the lettuce halal?"

"Does it have to be halal?" she replies, before Dan says: "Yes, everything has to be halal." In a slight panic, Kate worries, "Where am I going to get that from?"
After, Dan gets his mum to Google the description of halal, which is meat specially prepared by a Muslim, before Kate finally decides: "I don't think it matters about lettuce then, to be fair."

The social experiment show sees 12 Year Eight and Year Nine pupils from Saltley Academy in Birmingham, where less than one per cent of students are white British, swap school with 12 pupils of the same age from Tamworth Enterprise College where over 95 percent are white British.
When the show aired last week, viewers were left with a bleak outlook on racial tensions between the children in the UK schools.
In one segment of the show, pupils were asked to complete a questionnaire, outlining the traits they associated with the respective race.

'Eating bacon', 'lazy' and 'always drunk' were just some of the stereotypes associated with white British people, while words like 'burkas', 'Primark' and 'horrible and nasty' were linked to South-Asian people.
Great British School Swap continues on Channel 4 on Tuesday at 9pm.
