International Street Food Taste Test

Feb 27, 2020
Today we become

international

men of mystery flesh. Let's talk about that. Good morning mythical. You're in for a treat, mythical beasts, because today we're bringing you some YouTube song parodies you've probably never seen before. We're getting really angry about Christmas. And we're actually hugging some zombies during a Langhorne Slim performance! Okay, but first we are men of the

street

. We take them down. We walk alongside them. And once, very recently, I crossed one. - Good for you. - Yes. But the best thing about the

street

s is the street

food

. - It's also the best thing about

food

. - Do you believe that?

Street food is my favorite food. As I always say, you can get the best meat on the street. I've never heard you say that, but... Well, I just said it now. I'm going to start saying it a lot. - I'm not going to disagree. - Today we will see if we can identify the origin of some amazing street foods. It's time to... Well, as you know, I usually dominate this game when we throw darts at the board and make food decisions. Ho Ho Ho! Ho Ho Ho! I seem to remember that I won last time. You may remember that Link barely beat me when I gave him a series of very large advantages.

So to even the playing field a little bit, you'll still get an advantage. You will get two advantages today. So, as you know, what we do is we take out a food item, we

taste

it, and then we guess where it came from by throwing a dart at Chase. Well, on the board. We would never throw a dart at Chase. Link throws it to Chase. He threw it on the board. And then Chase measures how far you are from the actual assumption. And the combined distance adds up... It's like golf: the lowest score wins. Now what we're going to do is go first in each round so that you can then base your choice on my choice.

That gives you a clear advantage and you will fart. And of course, if you're a mythical beast, you'll know that a fart means throwing four darts at the same time. I already used my fart. You just... didn't recognize him. Well, you get another one. You get another one. They don't fart on me. You fart. Let's do it! Hopefully, when I win, I'll be able to eat an amazing new street food that we invented, which is gyro wrapped in pizza. - "He-ro." - He... gyroscope. Let's bring the next food. - How was the first one? - First.

Okay, well... So a burrito with hot dogs hanging from it? - We are sharing this. It's... - What is that? It seems to me that you have hot dog sausages, you have a pita type situation. This looks like potatoes. That is incredible. Is that mashed potatoes? This seems like something I would have done if my parents had left me alone when I was in eighth grade. "I don't know, Mom. You left the potatoes out." - I can see? - "You know I like sausages." Okay, then you can go first. - Now, on this map... - I want to eat it, man. - Oh, do you want to eat it? - Come on.
Yeah, take me back to 8th grade, home alone! Thanks for leaving me an intact sausage. You brushed him with your mustache. - What... is that... - Coleslaw. - They are small shrimp. - Oh, they're shrimp. - Those are some damn shrimp. - Oh my God. - Shrimp dog. - I have to squeeze that to the end. Okay, now another advantage that we don't talk about very often, Link, is the fact that you're always closer to the board. Let me tell you, you always have that. Shot from back here. You shoot from up there. - I mean... it's okay. - Thank you.
Alright. So good! What kind of people would be like a hungry eighth grade Rhett? I think they would do this in Hungary. - Because you eat when you are... - Hungary. This definitely screams, "Man, I'm just hungry." That's why I'm going to throw it at Sweden! I threw it to Hungary. Alright, let me take my dart out here. And you know, I won't get much closer. - Okay, everything is fine. MMM. - Man. That's great. Is very good. The shrimp... Wherever I am, there I go. How do you get such small shrimp? - You have to go to Portugal. - Oh.
Well. Oh my God! Oh! We are high up in Antarctica. No, what is that? That's not Antarctica. - That's the North Pole. - That's the Arctic, man. - The Arctic Circle. - At least I know what it is. You are well inside the Arctic Circle. Stevie: Well guys, I'll apologize in advance for, I'm sure, mispronouncing all of this, but here we go. It is tunnbrodsrulle, a flatbread cone filled with mashed potatoes, hot dogs and shrimp salad that is consumed on the streets of Sweden. - No! - Yes boy! He's hitting Sweden and he didn't even want to!
I'm a natural man, I can't help it. I can't help it. You're still... you're not that bad, man. Get it out of here. Alright, Link, you were 20. And Rhett, you were three. - Good job, Rhett. - Very well, next meal. Okay, I can smell this one now and it's not even here yet. Oh my God. Well. What's that? It seems like... Oh, you're not going to do well with this. - Fish? - You're not going to do it well. It has what we call an intense smell, you know what I mean? Like the bottom of a dumpster, it has a strong smell.
They are fermented stinky smelling chunks. Do you think it's like cheese? But it has chili sauce. That's a clue. Well. Let me see what we have here. I don't think trying it will help me learn anything that my nose hasn't already told me. - Okay, it's cheese. - Oh, is it cheese? It is a very stinky cheese with chili sauce. You're not going to handle this. (gagging) God, that's bad! I just want to take one of these darts and stick it in my face! That's not nice. I'm throwing away my fork! Wow, the cheese baffles me, because the chili sauce makes me think of Taiwan, Vietnam. - And you know what I'll say? - Say it, Link.
That after

taste

isn't so bad. Well, because you spit it out. But after a while it starts to taste like aggressive cheese. - I'm taking a risk. - It's an acquired taste. I'm taking a risk. I know there was French influence in Vietnam. That's why they have baguette there. Then I'm going to Vietnam. - Wow! Court! - I can't believe it! - I can't believe it! - I hope I'm right, man. Did I really hit him, Chase? - Chase: No. - Although I'm very close. Chase: I think you're less than an inch tall. After this round, we will change the darts. - Oh!
Hmm. - It must be the darts. - Now you are right. - I want to be yellow darts next time. You convinced me though. It's fucking Vietnam. Yes Yes Yes. Go for it. Just don't fire my dart. If I take the dart from you, you won't get any points. - Agreed? - Challenge accepted. Hey, it's really not a bad dart throw. It just compares to mine. Alright, what do we have? Stevie: Guys, this isn't cheese. It is chou doufu, which is stinky tofu, a fermented tofu with a very spicy aroma that is commonly found in night markets in Taiwan. -Rhett: Oh, okay. - Link: Still closed. - Rhett: Pretty close. - Link: But I missed on the wrong side.
It could have come back slowly. - Stinky tofu. - Oh my God. Alright, Link, you were 15 and Rhett, you were 5. Okay. Okay, next item. Oh, it looks like an elephant ear from the state fair. It looks like sour cream, cheese and some kind of... - Chives. - Chives. Well, shall we bite it? I'm telling you right now, this is going to be very good. The Lady and the Tramp. - Hmm. - Oh man. It's like fried dough with potato toppings. How come we didn't know this already? This is brilliant. Let me know everything you think. They are people who have a lot of insight... - I'll stick with your darts. - in fried foods.
I'm giving you my darts. My damn darts. They appreciate dairy, something that is not found in everyone. That's why tofu puzzled me, because in the Far East they don't eat much cheese. Who likes cheese and cream? I have an answer that is not influenced by anything you say. I think this is Hungary. Or Sweden. Every time you target Hungary, you hit Sweden. Yes. Yes, that is a problem. So I know you didn't do it right this time. That's a problem in my life. I have a fart and I think I'm going to go ahead and use it.
Just for pure strategy, you aim for the center of the board, then I can spread them out and take the lead with a horizontal spread. I would stay back here. This is when things get very, very dangerous. For the record, my answer is Morocco because they like sour cream. - How do you know this? - I've been there. - Well. - Fart with this. Put that on a t-shirt. "I'm going to fart at this." - I have to get the gun. - God, it's so scary. Oh ho ho! I don't know what to say about that one that he didn't hit the board and did hit the metal.
Okay, so three hit the mark, and one of them is not in Morocco. Alright, Stevie, what do we have? Stevie: You guys just ate langos, a fried flatbread traditionally served with sour cream, grated cheese, and a variety of other toppings in Hungary. Hey, hey, brother! - But you didn't hit Hungary. - I did not do it. I arrived in Sweden. Alright, Link, you were 12 and Rhett, you were 5 again. Oh God. 5 is less than 12. Bring food, friend. - Bring food. - Oh my God. - We have what appears to be... - Fried sardines. Sardines with a kind of spicy sauce.
And a lemon, so let's squeeze this lemon. Squeeze the lemon over the fish. To the fishes. I have a feeling this is going to be good and probably spicy. It could easily be Morocco, Yemen or Mozambique. This is definitely from the African continent, although Yemen is not...it's pretty close. - He almost touched it. -There aren't many headless fish that I enjoy on this show, but that's one of them. Where would the smallest fish be? Where would the smallest fish be? It's Yemen or Mozambique because they're crammed into a small place in the ocean. I'm going to play it safe.
I... I have a pretty good lead. You could just target the Congo and just make it a trilateral situation. Can you throw the dart? But I'm going to follow my instinct and aim between Yemen and Mozambique. And I'm going to hit Russia! I know how it feels. I do it all the time. I opened the door for you. I just don't... I don't feel your Yemen. Again I think of Morocco. I definitely think it's Morocco. - Well. - Oh, hey, idiot! You may have made up the difference. - Very well, what do we have here? - This could do it.
Stevie: They are sardine chermoulas: fried sardines served with a paste made of tomato, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika and other Moroccan spices. - Boom, dad! - Nice. Good, Link. Alright, what will this do for me? There is no way... I think it will help a lot. Rhett, you were 29 and Link, you were 3. - Oh. - Three? That's... wow. - Yes. - I won that round. - You're still losing. - But I won that round. - You are close. - I won that round. How far down am I? Now you're only down by eight. 50 to 42. Link, buddy, you're back at this.
Eight is erased very easily. Bring food. What the hell? - This is... - It's not a potato. This is a damn rat. How did they get the rat? Look, you can even see his hair! Oh. Oh my God. - He's a damn rat! - I see entrails. Look at the hair on one side. Look at the hair on your side. Well well. We do not go to. Just... Okay, we have to eat it to know it's a rat. I'm going to go through this part. Ah, the skin. Passes through the skin. Get to the meat. - It tastes like turkey. - Yeah!
He does. It tastes like turkey. There is a slightly gamey aftertaste. A bit? It's so greasy. Where would rodents eat? Do you know what this could be? This could be a fucking guinea pig. This may not be a rat. This could be a guinea pig. In South America they eat guinea pigs. Are you talking about Peru? That's the only one I see in South America. - Oh. - Oh, you came to DC. - Is good. I agree. - Dude. Listen, all you have to do is get three inches closer than me and you'll win, Link. Because I'm almost sure I'm right about this.
Cold hand Luke. Why am I throwing so high today? Damn, I left the door open again. Don't say "Peru-ve" wrong to me! That? Dude! Dude! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, no, no! Hey hey! Hey Hey hey! OK that's fine. None of these count, by the way. He always wanted to get to that place. Around him... I don't know which one... which was the first one that appeared? - I was the closest to... - You know, I feel better now. - It was the... - I'm sorry I threw a tantrum. I hope Lando wasn't watching. Don't be like dad.
Where do you think he got it from? - This one... - No, the one next to Morocco. - This guy. - Yes, right there. - Well. - That's right, like? As? Yes I like it. That is. Very good, how is it? Stevie: This is cuy, which translates to guinea pig. Yes. And we removed a few select pieces just for you, but in Peru they serve them whole. - Peru! - We were both right. Man. I don't think you made up the difference. I don't think he did it. Rhett, you were 16 and Link, you were 22. Oh, congratulations, Rhett.
Did you know? You really did a good job. I have to give it to you. You did it. - That was hard to get over, man. - Beautifull crazy girl.
