GMM 2252: International Pizza Taste Test

You wanna international pizza me? – Let’s talk about that. (cheerful music) Gooooood Mythical Morning. – Lemme set the scene for you. – Okay, all right. – You’re in a third grade class, and you’re third grade age. Your entire class just successfully memorized all of the multiplication tables, so you get a what? Pizza party. – Pizza party! Yeah. The math part, I wasn’t so into that, but the pizza part… – That’s what we’re gonna have today, an international pizza party. No math. – Oh, okay. Great. – But we are gonna be having geography. It’s time for… ♪ Where in the World ♪ ♪ Do These International Pizzas Come From ♪ – We’re gonna throw a dart at the country we think these pizzas came from, and then Chase the pizza rat cartographer is here to measure how far our dart is from the correct answer. What up? – Hey, it’s me, I’m pizza rat. From Manhattan. – Yeah, he is. – I asked Lucas what the Manhattan accent was, and he was like “Hey!” – All right. In the end, the lowest score wins, it’s kinda like golf. – Now, since I won last time, and the four times before that, Link gets a special advantage dart, again, but this time it is the pizza face dart, okay? – I’m sure it’ll help. – The winner, this could be good for you, Link, because you’ve already had this happen to you before. The winner gets to be turned into a human pizza. (acapella music) – Holy moly! This is pizza? This is a hoge. A hogie. Oh, do you want me not to…? – Yeah, people can see it. – I’m saying did you wanna keep it together? – No, I did not want to. – “People can see it. People can see it.” – People can see it, don’t worry, Neal. – This is mushrooms… – [Rhett] Cheese and ketchup. – Ketchup. – On what appears to be French bread. I gotta say, it kinda reeks of late night desperation, “What can I find?” – Just throw it together, yeah. You have to dart first. – Oh, why’s that? – Because I’ve been losing. – Right, I would get to go first if you had just lost last time, but I mean, you have lost five times in a row. – All right, Rhett, here you go, here are your options. Australia, India, Sweden, Poland, Morocco, and there’s others. – I’ve been to Poland. – I know, you sent me a postcard of two polar bears having sex. – And there’s not any polar bears in Poland, that’s the ironic thing. – That was the joke. – Oh. I’m saying that because I feel like this is Poland, for no other reason than in my time in Eastern Europe, I just kinda noticed that they would just put things that I was familiar with together in ways that I was unfamiliar with. And then add ketchup sometimes. But they love ketchup in Canada. And they will put ketchup on anything up there, including their chips. So, I mean, Canada, Poland, I don’t know, I’m going for Poland. Or, almost up there in the Arctic Circle. – See, you got me really thinking, when you said Canada, with the ketchup chips. – [Rhett] The door’s wide open. – Nothing really says anything, that’s the problem, you know? Kinda like Canada. – Ooh… – Sorry, Canada. I have good friends who are from Canada. – Yeah, yeah. And I think a lot of Mythical Beasts are from Canada. – You know… – So I’m still here. – But they don’t say a lot. And you know what? I’m going for it. Canada. – You can probably hit it. – I know, it’s so big, and it’s so over there, I’m gonna go for the east coast! Kinda hedge my bets. Oh, man, I coulda hit it, y’all. – You could have, but you didn’t. – Where is this from? – [Stevie] You just had zapiekanka, an open faced pizza-style sandwich which traditionally has ingredients like cheese, mushrooms and ham, all on top of hot sliced baguettes, drizzled with ketchup. This street food is sometimes called Polish pizza, and that’s because it’s from Poland. – Are you serious? You jerk. – I mean, you’re lucky I can’t throw today, man. – I’m standing here, I’m standing here. (indistinct) – That was pretty good, Chase. – Thank you, thank you. Rhett, you had 11. Link, 24. – Okay. All right. That’s pretty good. (acapella music) – Now this is a pizza. – [Rhett] This is a pizza. – [Link] But it’s a pizza I’ve never seen. – I don’t believe it’s a pizza that either of us would order. I know you wouldn’t order, it’s got black olives on it. – And there’s a hard boiled egg, there’s green peas? Peppers? I’ma try to dodge the olives here. – Oh. I mean… – That’s good. What kind of meat is this? – [Rhett] I believe it is a sausage of sorts. – A sausage? That is a sausage. This is a egg. I like garden peas. – Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard that about you. – They’re my favorite green thing. – Well, a garden in where this is probably from just refers to a yard, because I believe this is from Scotland, ’cause I’ve also been there. – You’re such a world traveler. – Scotland Yard. – Exactly. Scotland Yard. The Scots, they love their boiled eggs, they love their peas, and they (indistinct) that Scotch egg, which is like a hard boiled egg that’s got stuff around it, you know, so, I’m just kinda going off those clues. Let’s see if I can do a better throw, here. – [Link] Woo! – [Rhett] Not really, but… – Morocco! Dang, man. See, you’re not even holding back on your thought process, you know? – Do you think I usually do? – I think sometimes you try to lead me in the wrong direction, like when you said Canada. And now this time, you’re not throwing me off, so this is my opportunity to nail Scotland. – Well before you do that, though, I did, I wasn’t gonna bring it up, but… You know, Herb, the globe, is very… – [Link] Dead. – Is very sad that you killed her last time. – Oh, really, she is? – Yeah, she’s very sad that you killed her last time. – How do you know that the globe is sad? – I’ve been communicating with the ghost of Herb. Oh, as a matter of fact… – Don’t. I don’t know, but no. – Hey, Rhett! – Hey, Herb, how you doing? – Not that great, ever since I got killed by your friend! – Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I was just trying to introduce you to him, and just the way that he responded to you was very disrespectful. – I know, tell me about it! – What are you…? There is no… You’re talking to the ghost of…? – You can see it. Because, you may not be able to see it. – I can hear her, though. – Oh yeah, you can? – Every time you talk. With that voice. – With camera technology, there’s probably the kind of thing that you can see. You can see the ghost. – Hey, Herb, where do you think I should throw this thing? – Not Scotland! – All right, I’m going for Scotland. – How ’bout Australia? – Now, I’ve eaten a lot of pizza in Australia when I went there, and they can steal something and make it better. So all the pizza I ate down there was amazing, but it wasn’t that. – So why are you choosing Scotland? – Yeah, why is he choosing Scotland? Just because you did? – Yeah, because of the peas. – [Rhett] Okay. – I mean, for all the reasons you gave. You gave it to me. Now it’s just all about my dart throwing ability. Agh. – [Rhett] Little high. – [Stevie] The dish you just tried is topped with peas, boiled eggs, olives, and a mess of other toppings including sausage and ham. This pizza creation is very much enjoyed across its homeland, so be sure to order a Pizza a Portuguesa if you’re ever in Brazil. – Aw… Brazil. – Oh. Brazil. I think I was still closer to Brazil. – 38 for Link, 27 for Rhett. I’m from the city that never sleeps! – Even when you’re wrong, you do get lucky. – I’m less wrong, yeah. – So when you’re right, you’re right, but when you’re wrong, you’re still righter than me. – Well if you’re gonna miss, miss towards the other countries. – Where’s the justice in that, you know? – I don’t know, man. – And since when did they like garden peas in Brazil? – I guess as of now. (acapella music) – This a big flat one. – [Rhett] A big flat one. – Big flatty. With bananas, spices, dices of ham, cheese, and what’s the yellow stuff? – I don’t even know what it is, but it’s pretty good. – It’s the best pizza I’ve ever had with bananas on it. It’s not really sweet in any way, except for the little bit of banana. – [Rhett] And that puts us squarely in Jamaica or the Dominican Republic. – That is a nice pizza. I wonder what it’s called. Maybe Stevie’ll tell us. – So I mean, there is a chance that things get a little bit squirrelly, and I could see this being some kind of thing that they might eat in India, ’cause I have seen a flavor mix like this, but I’m gonna go with my first instinct, which is that this is Jamaica. But it’s so close to the Dominican Republic that I’m going to just aim in that general region and just hope I hit one of ’em. Ohohoho! – You just hit the Dominican Republic. – Did I actually hit it, Chase? – You hit the Dominican Republic pepperoni. – [Rhett] That counts, if it’s right. – So if this is right, then you will experience what heretofor only I have experienced. – That’s true, the old zero. – Which is a bullseye. It feels great. I hope you experience it, but, you probably won’t. – Oh, hey, Herb. – Hey, man. – Hey, Herb. – You know, the only thing that I really want? – What is that, Herb? – I would like to come back to life, but there’s only one way that that can happen. – How is that, Herb? – I need to be given mouth to mouth resuscitation to come back, and the only person that I can receive it from is my killer! – Did you hear that? – What do you think about the proposition, big boy? – She wants to know what you think about the proposition. – That’s enough motivation for me. – Okay, here we go. – What do you want me to do, Herb? – I want you to breathe life into me! – Breathe life into you? – Breathe life directly into me, right there! In my equator. (air hisses) More. More. (crew chuckles) (air hisses) Agh! Oh, thank you so much, big boy! For bringing me back! – Your puppeting is different this time. – It’s much more predictable. Doesn’t make any noise. – And then, ‘course, on the inside here, all this is the same. (Herb gags) What you think about that? – Now I’m a ghost again! Oh, me, look at that. I was there for a second. I’m destined to haunt the halls of Mythical Entertainment forever! – Okay, see ya. How could it not be Jamaica? But you’re right there. – [Rhett] It’s tough, isn’t it? – Yeah. ‘Cause I feel like… – Murderer. – It has to be Jamaica. – Let’s see if you can hit it. – Come on, Jamaica me crazy! Oh, that wasn’t far off, though. – [Rhett] It wasn’t far off. – Did you see how it just turned at the end? – [Stevie] You just ate banana curry pizza. – See, it’s Gandia. I told you, man. – [Stevie] A thin crust pizza base with tomato sauce, grated smoked mozzarella cheese, banana slices, and curry powder. You’ll find this pie at just about any pizza place you visit in Sweden. – [Both] What?! – Sweden? Oh, man. – All right. Rhett, 33. Link, 41. – I mean, I’m sorry, man, I was still a little bit closer to the right answer. – Sweden, though. Sweden’ll keep you guessing. – Yeah, they will, man. (acapella music) – This pizza stinks. It stinks. – We’ll find out why in a second, but you know what? We’ve been talking a long time about the two of us and Stevie going camping together, and you know what? We did, and we took some cameras. – Yeah, we did, we documented the whole thing. Our camping trip, Stevie, you remember? – [Stevie] Oh, I remember. – You remember talking about it for years? – [Stevie] Oh, I thought you were asking if I remember the camping trip itself. – Yeah, that, too. – [Stevie] Yeah. – We had an amazing time. The only way to believe it is to see it, and the only way to see it is on the Mythical Society, premiering this Friday, October 14th in our year 2022. – Our year. Our year, this is our year, man. 2022 is our year. – So go to the society, watch us go camping. We’re talking multiple videos, multiple experiences. Some big fails. Some big successes. – Whoa. Speak for yourself. – Some big problems, and, some memorable solutions. – Yeah. – Like, it was… It’s gonna be worth it. – Join to watch the premier on Friday. MythicalSociety.com. Let’s eat this stinky pizza. – I feel like we’re all closer because of it. – Oh, yeah. – [Link] I mean, that one has tomato right on it. – [Rhett] Yikes. – What is that stinky? – [Rhett] Huh. – Is there corns in there? What is that, fish? It’s not brains, is it? Is that eggs? – [Rhett] It is spicy fish. – Ech. It’s very spicy. But see, that seems like eggs to me. What is that, if it’s not eggs? Is that fish? – [Rhett] Maybe there is corn in there. – And there’s tomato. This is not a good day. It’s not a good day for… – Hey. It may not be a good day, but this is our year, man. – It’s our year. – You know? We can take one bad day. – In our year, 2022. Now I’ma go ahead and tell ya, I am using my advantage dart. – Well, I’m gonna go first, though. – And you’re gonna go first. – “And you’re gonna go first.” Okay, good god, what is this? – Fish and spicy. Spicy, spicy, spicy. – I think the fact that it is both spicy, and also there is a spice in there that I am not familiar with… – Yeah, it’s very… – This feels like Morocco. – [Link] Well, it’s right there in the middle of the board. – I mean, it could be India, but… – Don’t say anything else, ’cause then it’s gonna seem like I’m just copying your second answer again. – Okay. Morocco with a slight lean towards India. – Oh, I see how it is. Okay. Bring me my dart! – Oh. Well, hello. – Pizza face. Look at that pizza face. – So you can do the old dipperoo, and the placearoo. – All right. I hope it’s India, because you’re further from India than Morocco, but it could be Morocco because of that spicy spicy. I’m gonna go for India. Which should be easy enough. – Don’t miss it. – Skoo… Boop. I hit it! I nailed India! – Nailed India. – Just like when you nailed the DR for no good reason. – [Stevie] You just had ackee and saltfish pizza. Ackee is a fruit similar to lychee, and ackee and saltfish is the national dish of one particular country, the same country where you can find this pizza, Jamaica. – Jamaica. – Jamaica? – We can never land on Jamaica at the right time. – But you know what, I am closer to it, though. – ‘Kay, so, Rhett, you had 37. Link, 48. – Mm. Mm, that’s more. – I’m always close to a bodega, there’s like one on every corner. – One on every corner. – Pizza rat cartographer. (acapella music) – This one looks hard. Is it hard? – Well, I’m gonna cut it in half and find out. – Is it a calzone? – Has calzone-like qualities. – Wow. – [Rhett] I’ll cut this one in half for ya. – So it is kinda like a, oh. – There you go. Take one of those. – It’s going off the… So there’s a lot of bread, on both sides. Ooh, there’s some stringy stringy, looks like ricotta. Mm, smells great. – Hm, it does smell good. Mm. – That’s a pocket of loving. I like it. Are you noticing anything that would make you think “Oh, this is not from America”? – [Rhett] Yeah, mostly just the fact that it’s almost all ricotta. – I love ricotta. It’s like cheese but in little balls. – It’s super mild in flavor. I’m not noticing any spice, so this feels pretty European to me. – Any place on the map goes. – Any place on the map, so. – There’s lots of pockets of loving in Europe. – I’m gonna just, lemme just kinda just toss it into the general European nation. Now, here’s the thing, Link. – I’m way down. – You’re down by 43 points. – And 50 centimeters is like half the width of the map. – But here’s what I’ll tell ya right now. That little piece of pizza down there that gives us our true north, if you can hit that piece of pizza… – I win the game? – You get a zero on this round. – I actually think the answer is Australia. No, it can’t be Australia. I don’t know what the answer is. – So what are you gonna try to do? – I’ma go for the cheese, ’cause you’re giving me the chance. – [Rhett] You could win by hitting this pizza. – All right, here we go. – Just don’t think about it, just think “I’m throwing a dart at pizza.” – [Link] Ooh… – [Rhett] You thought about it too much. – That was close, though. Stevie, what is this bland creation? – [Stevie] This is pizza fritta, which translates to fried pizza, and it’s made by sealing toppings between two layers of pizza dough and frying it in hot oil until it becomes golden and crispy. Pizza fritta is one of the oldest forms of pizza because it was easier to cook using oil than managing a wood oven, and it’s a classic street food found in Naples, Italy. – It’s from Italy? – [Rhett] How close am I to Italy? – All right, Link, you had 47. Rhett, one. – Oh! Wow, that’s… – You know what? You’ve had a good day. – It was a good day, but this is our year. – I don’t know how I’m gonna put up with you the rest of the day. – This is our year, though, man. – Can we make it just my year? – We might need to, at this rate. – You can be the day guy, and I’ll be the whole year guy. – You almost went over 200, has that ever happened? – All right, you get to be turned into a human pizza. Thanks for subscribing and clicking the bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, my name is Olive, and I’m doing a next best thing pizza sauce taste test, and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Hm, I don’t know if that cat was actually talking.
