Try Not To Eat Challenge | Odd Food Pairings

- Okay that's fine. - Well. - That's good. - Hmm. We sent it. - (laughs) We sent the cheese and hot chocolate. ♪ (accordion intro) ♪ - (FBE) This video is sponsored by Brookside. We're sure you've seen some of the very strange

food

combinations popularized by celebrities, unique restaurants, and adventurous people everywhere. And that's why we've asked our chef to recreate some of these strange combinations and unique and delicious gourmet dishes. - Oh! I like to have an open mind to try new

food

s. - (FBE) This

challenge

was inspired by the surprisingly delicious Brookside chocolate blend, which you can try a little later and will encourage you to try new things or other surprisingly delicious things. - I love chocolate! - (FBE) And as always, if you eat any of these foods, you get a point.

For every point you get, your punishment in the end will be a little worse. - Oh, okay, so there's a gradual level of worsening. - It always gives me major FOMO, because the food they save for last is usually the one you want to wait for. - I can't afford that luxury. I always get the worst punishments, not the best food. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) For the first combination, we have a peanut butter and onion sandwich. - Oh no, hell no. Absolutely... - Wait! Cinnamon, raisin and onion bread!? - (FBE) To accentuate the combination of flavors.

This food was popularized by author Ernest Hemingway. - I don't know about this. - (FBE) ...Mount Everest Special. - I'm serious, yes, right? What do we say to that? I think that's the beauty of food, right? People can just create random things and whatever they want, and it suits their preferences and what works for some doesn't work for others. - (FBE) Alright guys, who wants to try it? - My God, that bread looks so good, it smells so good. You should smell it. It's like freshly baked. - Ought? - Pan. Wow, I was scared! You came in for that thing. - You should try it. - I should?

Ugh, I can't say no. (laughs) - Oh! (laughs) (doorbell rings) - Mmm, oh wow! - It is, yes. - I am pleasantly surprised. It's like Thanksgiving! - I like peanut butter and banana, that's fun, this is horrible. - He's probably not very tempted. (laughs) - Oh, no. - Onions, it's strange that I associate onions with hamburgers, because right now I smell a Whopper. That's how strong these onions are. Oh, now it smells like... - Yes. - A locker room. Get it out of here! - Yes, we are going to say no to this. (Alberto coughs) - There are a lot of things that I like and then things that I don't like. - You know, there's also something visual when it comes to food, and I feel like it definitely doesn't meet that criteria either. - Sorry, Hemingway!

I like your books, but not your taste in sandwiches. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ ♪ (soft piano music) ♪ - (FBE) Next, we have kiwi and oysters. - Excuse me? - That? - (FBE) Our amazing chef prepared a trio of delicious oysters topped with different kiwi concoctions. A tropical kiwi sauce with kiwi, pineapple... - That could be good. - (FBE) A kiwi and ginger mignonette and a kiwi julienne. - Oh! (gasps) - (FBE) This may seem strange, but these foods actually have very similar aromas, making them a natural combination. - Yes. - Okay, sauce. - Yes, look, that's a little better. - Yes, I thought it was going to look like it was wrapped in kiwi. - Yes, here you go. - (FBE) France and New Zealand are just two places where you are likely to see kiwi and oyster dishes. - Wow, that actually looks pretty impressive. - I don't know. -This seems like one of those types of foods where you pay $10 for just a small sample. - This actually looks good. - Oh, they have dry ice there!

Oh, they made a lemon thing! - Yes, honestly, when will I get this? - Come on, exactly! - I will never have this! Well then. - Wow, ASMR. (doorbell rings) (laughs) - Hey, this is a bomb! -Hey, I want to try it! - My God. (doorbell rings) (coughs) - Mmm. Wait. - That's really... - It's actually fire. - I will, I will! Here we go, one, two... - Okay. (bell rings) - Kiwi and oyster. - I like it. - I did not expect. - It is texture friendly. - Yes Yes. (bell rings) - Mmm. - You tell me.

Give me your review, what is that? - This is really good. You can barely taste the oysters, it's like something very meaty. - This, I promise not to eat, because it is simply not like that, I know that this will not sit well with my stomach. - I think I want to leave this one, it's so pretty I don't want to touch it. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) Next we have hot chocolate with cheese. This combination is especially popular in Colombia. - Now the hot chocolate looks delicious. - (FBE) Our chef has selected an excellent trio of fine cheeses that combine perfectly with this rich and delicious drink. (Brayden groans) - (laughs) What was that? - I'm interested, I just think the texture is going to be really weird if the cheese is crumbly, ew, okay, no.

I talked myself out of it, as I say. (Jordan gasps) - (laughs) I'm so excited. - We are shocked right now. - It smells very good. - It smells very good. I feel like, mmm. He's giving in, tough pass for me. I'm good on this one. (doorbell rings) (laughs) - Oh honey. The cheese is almost a little melted, so its thickness is starting to seep through the chocolate, so the chocolate itself is getting a little richer, a little thicker. I like it. - I would like to do it for both of us. - (gasps) Okay! - Because I feel that then I can inform you. - Okay, okay, let me know, let me know. - You'll have to do it for me for something else, okay? - Well. - We will make an exchange. - That seems fine to me. (doorbell rings) - Oh, okay.

I don't know, there's a little bit of saltiness, which is great, because then it tastes like... - Okay. - Salted caramel. - Yes, I love salted caramel. - Hot chocolate. - Then I'm going to like it, you know what I mean? - (gasps) My God. You know how to live. - Oh, it's very hot. (doorbell rings) Okay, that's good. - Well. - That's good. (bell rings) - Mmm. Wow, my world has changed! We sent it. - (laughs) We sent the cheese and hot chocolate. - You know, when I was watching the video, I thought I could handle it, but looking at it, it seems a little gross, so I'm fine. - I feel like it's too basic to miss anything, so I'm going to leave this one out. - Yes. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) For our next combination, let's see if you'll be tempted by hot dogs and gelatin.

Of course, our chef didn't just spread grape preserve on a sausage, he made an amazing... - The way you said sausage was funny. - (FBE) Made an amazing Monte Cristo hot dog, complete with cheese, a brioche baguette bun and... - Uh-uh stop, I'm eating this. - Hey! - I would literally eat this at home. - The presentation and everything is unusual, but this is something I think I would be willing to try. - Yes, look at that. - Yes. Should I do it? I don't even want to pretend I won't. Oh, I don't want to eat, lose! (licks lips) I don't care, I'm eating it.

This looks very good. (doorbell rings) - She walks right in, very quickly. - Mm-hmm. - It's crazy. - Mmm, mm-hmm, yes, you have to try. - Yes, okay. (bell rings) No, this is a bomb. It's like... - Ugh, gelatin is so good. - Grapes and cheese with a touch of meat. - Hmm. - Oh! - I don't know what it smells like! I'll still try. (doorbell rings) - I've never thought about making a sweet hot dog, and I think that aspect is new and appealing to me, especially my taste buds right now. And I like that, so I'll probably go home and recreate this and fail miserably, but I'll keep trying. - Did you know?

I'm sold. I want to try it! (laughs) (bell rings) - Oh, no. (doorbell rings) No. Sorry, who created that. I'm not a fan. - This is breakfast! - It's like you have toast with jam. - Yeah! -And then she ate a sausage. - I eat a sausage on the side. I really like this! I think this is my favorite! (both laugh) - I'm trying this, are you trying this? - I'm not trying this. - I am going to try this! - I'm fine with this one. (bell rings) - I'm not necessarily a gelatin fan, I could have eaten this without gelatin, but the flavors work together and then the textures.

Although this is good, I would never ask for it. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) Our next crazy food combination is bananas and pizza. Popularized by Swedish restaurants, curried banana pizza. - Did you just say banana curry pizza? - (FBE) Curried banana pizza and banana and ham pizza are two popular favorites. - Oh, that dough! - Look at that doe. - (FBE) Each with gourmet marinara sauce, a three-cheese blend and both with black forest ham. - If I don't like pineapple on my pizza, what makes you think I want banana on my pizza? - Same. However, this could work. - (FBE) So here you have your bananas and ham, as well as your banana and curry pizza. - Oh.

Banana and the banana and curry one looks very good. - I'll take that one. (bell rings) - Mmm. (laughs) Hey, this is fire! MMM. - Yeah. That's really good. It's like a dessert on top of cheese. - At first I didn't agree, but now I'm going to go ahead and take the L. (bell rings) It's like a subtle hint of banana, and that's why I don't hate it, but hey, I wouldn't eat it more than once. - I never thought I would like banana pizza so much, because I'm used to eating Hawaiian pizzas with pineapple, but this one is much better. - I'm a little tempted. - Yeah, you know what?

I'm going to choose the curry one, because it sounds like an experience. - Okay, I'll try this one. - It's good, awesome. - Okay, we will fail together. - We have it. (bell rings) Oh. - Hmm. - It's interesting. (laughs) The cheese gives a really good flavor to the banana, which is very strange to think about. - I really liked it. - I was really hoping that the look of the pizza would change my mind, and this is exactly what I didn't want to see, and this is what I'm seeing. - And it doesn't have enough color for me. - I'm going to say no. - I'll pass this one too. - Mm-hmm. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) And finally, you'll try Brookside... - I tried this!

I love it, have you tried this before? It's so bomb. - Those things are so good. - (FBE) Brookside dark chocolate. that combines dark chocolate with pomegranate, acai... - I'm a fan! - (FBE) ...and blueberry flavors. - Oh, that's it, oh okay. - We love simplicity. - I am a Fan. - I love these things. - Oh, do we have both flavors? - Is this a grenade? - Oh my God! - Oh, yeah, then I'll take both, okay? Hmm. (bell rings) - Mmm. - Mm-hmm. - I'm going to get these, and then I'll take one of those later. - Exactly, we already lost. (doorbell rings) - Mmm, oh, that's good. - Maybe what I could do is eat them both at the same time.

You know, mix these two flavors and see what it tastes like, because I haven't tried that before. (doorbell rings) That's really good, because the pomegranate is very tart and the cranberry is sweet, and together, you get this really nice mix of both. (bell rings) - Mmm. - Hmm. - That's good. - That makes it so good. - Everyone tells me these are good for me, so I don't feel too bad. - (laughs) This is the kind of chocolate they give you for your birthday, and that's fine with me. I tried some cool things today, so I'm not mad about the punishment. - (FBE) Finally, thanks to Hershey's and Brookside chocolate, there's actually no punishment for this episode, but rather you get a reward! - No! - Bah, mmm, mmm, we won! (laughs) - Are you okay? - Did they receive the punishment for us?

They accepted the punishment for us! - Thank you, thank you Hershey's and Brookside. - Thank you! - (FBE) So, since you're brave enough to try all these combinations... - Are you kidding me? - Brookside will give you both a month of free chocolate! (both scream) - Yes! That's what I'm talking about! - I was assuming we were going to have to do something terrible at the end of this, so this just made my day like A, better without punishment, then they said "hey sweetie", and I was like "oh hell". Yes!" (laughs) - Yes. - I'm just grateful to come out with a fat W instead of a fat L. - Hey guys, this is Ethan from the REACT channel, big thanks to our sponsor Hershey's Brookside chocolate for sponsoring the episode of today.
