GMM 1663: Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Food Taste Test

Today, we taste foods from a galaxy far, far away. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – Good mythical morning. – We got a ton of new food content starring mythical chef Josh, coming your way in 2020. That’s fancy fast food, food fears, and lot more, but it’s on a different channel. So make sure you subscribe to The Mythical Kitchen Channel, youtube.com/mythical, link in the doobly-doo. – Well, doobly-doo, you’re bringing that back. – Yeah. – Hey, did you hear, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens everywhere tomorrow! – Yes! – Did you get your tickets? – Yes! – Did you get ’em? – Are you dressin’ up? – No. – I’m going as a very, very tall porg. (laughing) – Well even if the Skywalker saga may be coming to a close, the party is just getting started over at Disneyland and Disney World. – Yeah. – Where they got Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, it’s a magical place that transports you right into the world of Star Wars. – Android building and flying the frickin’ Millennium Falcon sounds pretty cool. But, ultimately, the coolest thing as far as I’m concerned, is the fact that you get the chance to chow down on some intergalactic grub. – But which space foods are R2-divine? And which one will you BB-hate? It’s time for, (upbeat music) The Mythical Crew was able to do their own smuggler’s run and sneak some smace smacks. Space Snacks. Out of Disneyland: – Yeah, the trouble today. Galaxy’s Edge for us to try today. – Okay, we’re gonna be ranking each item on this board, that has five spots from gives me the Kessel runs, makes me Kylo retch, Blando Calrissian. Flavor! Unlimited flavor! And, delicious, this is! – Oh, nice, Rhett. – Yeah. (upbeat music) – After customizing your own lightsaber, you can head over to Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo to grab yourself a Yobshrimp Noodle Salad, which we have here, but would that choice be a Wookie mistake? (laughing) – Well, the puns just keep coming. Okay, yobshrimp are tiny, shrimp-like creatures native to the planet, Naboo, and to help ease them down our gullets, we’re going to be drinking Blue and Green Milk, which is also offered there at Galaxy’s Edge and you seen that being drunk in the movies. – And it doesn’t actually contain milk at the parks. I saw people eating this. – I’m not excited about this, I’m not, a huge shrimp boy. – I like shrimp. – I mean, I like ’em all right, but, especially cold, just chilled. – Preemptive dink. And sink it. – I just got too much noodles. I’m noodle heavy. – Mmm. Now, they say on planet Batuu, which is where Galaxy’s Edge is set, they harvest these shrimp for consumption. – But they don’t, they harvest these shrimp from the ocean around America. – They do. – I gotta say, that’s not bad. – It’s not bad at all. I don’t think any of this stuff is gonna be bad. It’s just a question of what’s really good. Now, this is the second most expensive thing, almost 16 bucks, whereas they serve it in these wrought iron situations, and they don’t label any of the shops. So it’s like very immersive, but it’s also kind of confusing because you don’t know if you’re going into a gift shop, a restaurant, – I like to be that way. – Or off the edge. – I like it to be confusing. – Start right in the middle. – Just put it in the middle. It’s better than I expected and we got no point of reference. – Yeah, love it. (upbeat music) – Now the Ronto Roaster stall has a huge podracer engine that’s hanging from the ceiling and it looks like it’s heating up this spit of meat, it’s really amazing. I mean, everything there, – But it’s not. – Is amazing, but yeah, it’s kinda fake. You walk up to a counter and you order a Ronto Wrap, which is made from the ronto. – [Rhett] Oh, that makes me hungry. – [Link] Kinda like a brontosaurus, I think that’s where the name kind of came from originally. – [Rhett] Does most of the meat come from the back of the neck? I like neck meat. – Yeah, that shave that off and it grows back, you don’t even have to kill the ronto. – Oh, it’s like a lamb. (laughing) Well, not lamb meat. The lamb’s wool. – I wanted to eat this, but at that particular moment in the park, I was not hungry. – Okay, so this has got roasted pork, grilled pork sausage, peppercorn sauce, tangy slaw, all wrapped in a pita. But before we eat that, I feel like we should cleanse our palates from that last round. Now, I’m just noticing that this doesn’t look like milk. – There’s no milk in it. – It’s more like a slushie and that, – It’s coconut milk. – Yeah, there’s something else going on there. That’s not dairy. – This is really hard to describe, what it tastes like, it’s kinda like a – Tastes like it comes from the udder of a large bovine-like creature. – Like a sour. – In a made-up world. – Sour sherbet. I can’t say that I love it. But this is gotta be great, right? – Well I would think so. – Dink it. Sink it. Mm hm. Mm. That’s good. – [Rhett] There’s more meat around the meat. You see that? – Yeah, there’s pork around pork. – [Rhett] They wrap this meat around that meat. – I’m getting some more of the slaw, just to even it out. It’s so cool that they invented these dishes, you know? It’ll give you that experience. I like this better than the shrimp, don’t you? – Oh, well yeah. – Mm hmm. – That’s very good. I mean, is it better than, a hot dog? Maybe. – I kinda think so. – Well it’s about the experience. It’s about feeling like – Right. – You’re on a different planet. Okay, so we’re gonna put that ahead of the shrimp salad. – Is it worth 13 dollars? That’s another question. (upbeat music) – Okay, now we’ve got Endorian Fried Tip-Yip. This is inspired by the hen-like species from Endor that were raised by everybody’s favorite space teddy bears, the Ewoks. – Uh huh. – Now, interestingly, up until very recently, they’ve added fried chicken into the name of this. – Yeah. When I went, it didn’t say that. I didn’t know what the heck anything was. – Right. – You kinda had to read the description underneath. But it was really cool but it was also intimidating. – Yeah, but why can’t people just trust Disney? Just trust ’em. – This is a weird form factor of fried chicken. – Why you gotta know what it is? – It’s like a big log. – It’s like the biggest log of fried chicken I’ve ever seen. – Yeah what part of the chicken? This comes out of the back of the chicken’s neck. – I think it’s a cross section – [Rhett] Yeah. – Of the breast, but it is weird. – There’s gravy, we got mashed taters. This is kinda like a KFC bowl. – Yeah. – With a giant slab on top. I’m going for one giant bite. – It’s kinda hearty. The moment that we walked into Galaxy’s Edge for the first time, I let Lily walk in front of me and I watched her walk in and she turned around as we were walking in to the park, and she was crying. – ‘Cause she saw this chicken dish? – It’s gonna make me cry now. I mean, it’s like, it was just, the first time you go in there, Star Wars means a lot to you, it was just like, it was an emotional moment. We took a photo. – Yeah but she did that at the county fair as well. Gotta say it. So it doesn’t take much to impress her. This is by far, in my opinion, the best thing so far. – What? I like the Ronto Wrap better than this. This is like Southern cooking, man. It’s in my beard, that’s a sign that I like it. It’s so good, man. – All we’re gonna, basically we’re in contention here. So we’re gonna put these both together. – [Rhett] I like it. – You know what? If both of these vie for number one, we’re gonna have to lightsaber it out. But for now, let’s just make ’em kinda tied-ish and move on. (upbeat music) Kaadus first appeared in The Phantom Menace where one was ridden by Jar Jar Binks. So will these smoked Kaadu Ribs, make us like Episode 1, even more? – And, – Even more. – They’re pork, guys. It’s pork ribs, blueberry corn muffin, with cabbage slaw. – I mean, anything that Jar Jar Binks is gonna straddle, is something I wanna eat. – Well, I just I don’t think you should ride and eat the same animals. I think you gotta make a choice. – Oh really? – Am I gonna ride it or am I gonna eat it? I don’t know if that sentence came out right. – Tell that to the bull riders, man. Mmm. Pork rib. – You don’t, ride a cow, though. I mean, you ride a bull. That bull just dies a nice, you know what they do after the bull, gets ridden? He spends the rest of his life riding. – He’s not edible. – Inseminating. I’m trying to make a – okay, okay. This is a good rib. It’s a big rib, it’s hearty. Not necessarily the type of thing you might expect to get at a theme park. – It’s a tasty rib. I gotta try this blueberry corn muffin though. I don’t wanna leave that out. – Yeah, that’s interesting. Mmm, that’s really good. This might be a contender, man. – The thing for me, – This might be my favorite thing. It’s really this magic, blueberry corn muffin thingie that puts it over the top for me. – What is that, I never seen that on a pork. – Well you’ve never eaten a Kaadu! So, you think this is better than the fried chicken? I definitely agree with that. – I think that it’s pretty close, I think, I can’t tell which one’s better. But I like ’em both better than the hotdog situation. – All right, I agree with that. So we’re gonna move the Kaadu up to the leading spot. – All right, let’s see what we got next. (upbeat music) Okay, finally dessert. We’re trying some interstellar sweetness with the Batuu-Bon. Let’s see if it’s out of this world. – So I guess this is a play on a bon bon, it’s the cheapest thing, seven bucks and you can get it at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. – I was gonna say, it’s the first thing that doesn’t immediately have – This a top? – I mean, it looks like it could be alien. You know what I’m saying? – [Link] Yeah, look at that. – The other stuff is, I know that’s pork, I know that’s chicken. This is, it looks like something that you might run into in intergalactic travel. – It looks like the droppings of something you might run into in intergalactic travel. – [Rhett] So I think that the. – [Link] Check that out. – [Rhett] Oh, look at the interior. – It’s like an egg. – I think the experience of feeling like, the whole point of being at this place is it’s to make you feel like you’re, you been transported to another place, right? – That’s cake, I think, yeah. – Do you really need ribs, to bring you back down to Earth? No. – Well you haven’t even tasted it yet. Dink it. Sink it. Mm. This is like, what, cheesecake? White chocolate mousse, coffee custard, chocolate cake. – There’s something strange, what is the green little liquid? I’ve not dipped it in that. Looks like raw egg. – Ew, hey that’s not good. – [Both] Is that raw egg? – [Female] No, it’s like a white chocolate sauce. – Ah, I think it’s raw egg. – No, I think that’s definitely raw egg. – That ruined it for me. – Yeah, that’s nasty right there. – But you know what? That’s the kind of thing that happens when you’re on another planet, you’re like, ah I shouldn’t have dipped it in that sauce. That was just snot from the waiter. And that’s the kind of thing, you go to a foreign place, and you’re a little confused, so points for me. – And I really like the top part better. For an additional seven bucks, I’m gonna get two of these. – It’s pretty, it’s cheap. – I’m just gonna put it together like this. – It takes you to another place. – And just eat this. – Well thanks Link. – And I don’t like cake as much. Here’s yours back. – You threw it right into the alien snot. – Sorry. I feel like you’re trying to make this number one. – I am trying. – Ah listen. I love the Ronto Wrap. If you like something light, you’re gonna go all the way down here to the shrimpy shrimp. But we’re moving that to five. And then. – okay, if we’re not making that number one, then I’m not gonna let you sacralize this entire process. – This is just a fried chicken log, man. – Yeah, where you from, boy – It’s a bit dry. This right here is unlike anything I’ve ever had. Ronto Wrap’s a completely – you never had a slab – New invention. – You never had a slab of chicken like that on some mashed potatoes and gravy. – It’s fried chicken on mashed potatoes. – But we’re both saying this is number one. – All right, we’re gonna agree to disagree here. We’re gonna keep those. Now, I don’t know, just make an argument, if you want this to be number one. – You know what I’m gonna do when I go to The Galaxy’s Edge? I’m gonna get both. – Yeah. The smoked, – that’s what I’m gonna do. – Kaadu ribs. – If you wanna meal, get the ribs, if you want dessert, get the bon bon, whatever it’s called. – ‘Cause this is kinda like dessert with the ribs. – Yeah well you know what that’s a prelude to dessert. – I’m just sayin’. It’s like breakfast, – I get my sweet receptors – lunch. – Going and then I have the real thing. – Everyone’s a winner who goes to The Galaxy. – Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing. – You know what you’re supposed to do. – I’m Kenny. – I’m Lucas. We’re here at Galaxy’s Edge, gettin’ ready for a hurricane – [Both] and it’s to spin the Wheel of Mythicality! – That’s the best time to go to an amusement park when people are fleeing. – Oh God. – Click the top link to watch us try the Talk Like Yoda Challenge in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality’s gonna land, looking for a way to save and rep your boys, Prime members get free shipping on all Mythical Merch at our Amazon store.
