Try Not To Eat Challenge | Odd Food Pairings

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

food

combinations made popular by celebrities, unique eateries, and adventurous people everywhere. And that's why we've asked our chef to recreate some of these rare combinations and uniquely delicious gourmet dishes. - Oh! I like to be open minded to try new

food

s. - (FBE) This

challenge

was inspired by the surprisingly delicious combination of Brookside chocolate, which you will be able to try a bit 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 at the end will be slightly worse. - Oh, okay, so there's a gradual level of worsening. - I always get big FOMO, because the food they save for last is usually the one you want to wait for. - I don't give myself that luxury. I always get the worst punishments, not the best meals. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) For the first combination, we have a peanut butter and onion sandwich. - Oh no, hell no. Absolutely... - Wait! Cinnamon bread with raisins and onion!? - (FBE) To accentuate the combination of flavors.

This food was popularized by the author Ernest Hemingway. - I don't know about this. - (FBE) ...Special Mount Everest. - I mean that, yes, right? What do we say to that? I think that's the beauty of food, right? Just people can create random stuff 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 this? - Oh my gosh, that bread looks, smells so good. You should smell it. It's like freshly baked. - Ought? - Bread. Boy, was I scared! You went in for that thing. - You should try it. - I should?

Ugh, I can't tell you no. (Laughter) - Oh! (laughs) (buzzer sounds) - Mmm, oh wow! - It is, yes. - I am pleasantly surprised. It's like Thanksgiving! - I like peanut butter and banana, that's funny, this is horrible. - You probably won't be super tempted. (Laughter) - Oh no. - Onions, it's weird 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... - Yeah. - A locker room. Get it out of here! - Yes, let's 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 a visual thing when it comes to food, and I feel like it definitely doesn't meet that criteria either. - I'm 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... - Now 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 match. - Yeah. - It's okay, sauce. - Yeah, look, that's a little better. - Yeah, I thought it would be like wrapped in kiwi. - Yes, like here you go. - (FBE) France and New Zealand are just two places where you're likely to see kiwi and oyster dishes. - Wow, that actually looks pretty impressive. - I don't know. -Like, this looks like one of those types of food where you pay $10 for just the small sampler. - Actually, this looks pretty good. - Ooh, they have dry ice in there!

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

Give me your review, what's that? - This is really good. You can barely taste the oysters, it's like something really meaty. - This, I promise not to eat, because it simply does not, I know that this will not sit well in my stomach. - I think I want to let this go, 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 pair 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 crumbles into, ew, okay, no.

I talked myself out of doing it, as I say so. (Jordan gasps) - (laughs) I'm so excited. - We're in shock right now. - It smells great. - It smells great. I feel like, um. He is giving in, a difficult time for me. I'm good on this one. (buzzer sounds) (laughter) - Oh honey. The cheese is almost a little bit melted, so its thickness starts to seep through the chocolate, so the chocolate itself gets a little bit richer, a little bit thicker. I like it. - I'd 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'll change. - That seems fine to me. (doorbell rings) - Oh, okay.

I don't know, there's a little bit of a salty taste, which is great, because then it tastes like... - Okay. - Salted caramel. - Yes, I love salted caramel. - Hot chocolate. - So I'm going to like it, you know what I mean? - (gasps) Oh, my God. You know how to live. - Oh, it's very hot. (buzzer sounds) Okay, that's good. - Well. - That's good. (buzzer rings) - Mmm. Wow, my world has changed! We sent it. - (Laughter) We send the cheese and the hot chocolate. - You know, when I was watching the video, I thought I might take it, but looking at it, it looks kind of gross, so I'm fine. - I feel like it's too basic for me to miss something, so I'm going to pass this one on. - Yeah. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) For our next combo, let's see if hot dogs and jam tempt you.

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) He made an amazing Montecristo hot dog, complete with cheese, a brioche baguette bun and... - Uh-uh stop, I'm eating this. - I! - I would literally eat this at home. - The presentation and all that is unusual, but this is something I think you would be willing to try. - Yeah, look at that. - Yeah. I should, I don't even want to pretend I'm not going to. Oh, I don't want to eat, lose! (smacks lips) I don't care, I'll eat it.

This looks so good. (buzzer sounds) - She goes right in, very fast. - Mm-hmm. - It's crazy. - Mmm, mm-hmm, yes, you have to try that. - Yeah, okay. (buzzer sounds) No, this is a bomb. It's like... - Ugh, the jello is so good. - Grapes and cheese with a touch of meat. - Hmm. - Ouch! - I can't tell what it smells like! I'm still going to try. (buzzer sounds) - I've never thought of making a sweet hot dog, and I think that aspect is new and enticing 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! (laughter) (buzzer sounds) - Oh, no. (buzzer sounds) No. Sorry, whoever created that. I'm not a fan - This is breakfast! - It's like you have toast with jam. - Yeah! - And then as he had as a sausage. - Like some sausage on the side. I really like this! I think this is my favourite! (both laugh) - I'm trying this, are you trying this? - I'm not trying this. - I'm going to try this! - I'm fine with this one. (rings ring) - I'm not necessarily a fan of gelatin, I could have had this without gelatin, but the flavors work together and then the textures.

Now while this is nice I would never order this. ♪ (accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) Our next crazy food combination is bananas and pizza. Popularized by Swedish restaurants, the banana curry pizza. - Did you just say banana curry pizza? - (FBE) Banana Curry Pizza and Banana Ham Pizza are two popular favorites. - Oh, that dough! - Look at that dough 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, however, this could work. - (FBE) So here are 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 get that one. (buzzer rings) - Mmm. (laughs) Hey, this is fire! Mm-hmm. - Yeah. That's really good. It's like a dessert on top of the cheese. - At first I wasn't into it, but now I'm going to go ahead and take the L on it. (buzzer sounds) It's like a subtle hint of banana, which is why I don't hate it, but hey, I wouldn't eat it more than once. - I never thought I'd like banana on pizza so much, because I'm used to eating Hawaiian pizzas with pineapple, but this one is so much better. - I'm a little tempted. - Yeah, you know what?

Like, I'm going to go for the curry one, because it sounds like an experience. - Okay, I'll try this one. - It's good, awesome. - It's okay, we'll fail together. - We have it. (buzzer sounds) Oh. - Hmm. - It's interesting. (Laughter) The cheese gives a really good flavor to the banana, which is really weird to think of. - I really liked it. - I really hoped that the pizza aspect would change my mind, and this is exactly what I did not want to see, and this is what I am seeing. - And there's not enough color for me. - I'm going to say no. - I'll pass on 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 all, oh okay. - We love simplicity. - I am a Fan. - I love these things. - Oh, do we have both flavors? - Is this grenade? - Oh my God! - Oh yeah, so I'm going to have both, okay? Hmm. (buzzer rings) - Mmm. - Mm-hmm. - I'm going to go for these, and then I'm going to have one of those later. - Exactly, we already lost. (buzzer sounds) - Mmm, oh, that's good. - Maybe what I could do is eat both at the same time.

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

They took 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 yell) - 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 made my day like A better no punishment then they go "hey candy" and I'm like "oh hell yeah!" (laughs) - Yeah. - I'm thankful to come out with a big W instead of a big L. - Hey guys, Ethan here from REACT Channel, big thanks to our sponsor Hershey's Brookside chocolate for sponsoring today's episode.
