I prefer my fruit on a plate, and well-traveled. – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) (liquid bubbling) (UFO whirring) (flame igniting) (bright music ending) – “Good Mythical Morning.” – And Happy Memorial Day. Today, we recognize those who have given their lives for our country. – Now, you may notice that we are surrounded by crates full of fruit! – I have noticed. – Which as far as I can remember, is not typical. – That is not typical. You know, if I’m surrounded by too much crated fruit- – Crated fruit. – I start to get a little uneasy. – Ooh, yeah. – I start to… My dart throwing starts to get a little wobbly. – Yup. – I dunno, today’s gonna be a little- – That’s what I’m hopin’ for. – It’s gonna be risky. But it’s here because today’s episode is a collaboration of sorts with Farmlink. Not a sponsor, we’re just big fans of their work and we wanted to give ’em a shout-out. Can you give him the shout-out, so that he can give them the shout-out? – Oh, here’s the shout-out. – (clapping) Give ’em the shout-out. – Farmlink is a… It’s got your name in it, is that why you wanted to do this? – That’s not the main reason, you’ll discover the main reason. But, it is a substantive secondary reason. – I mean, I thought that like Farm Link is like a personality that you go into sometimes. (everyone laughing amusingly) – Well, I’ve hooked up my farm implements, and I’m ready to do some tilling. – That guy, that guy. But also, Farmlink is a group of over 500 students doing amazing work to end food waste, combat hunger, and prevent thousands of tons of harmful emissions from entering the atmosphere, all at the same time. – Yeah. And just to make this a truly collaborative episode, every dish that we’re gonna try today will feature food from our friends at Farmlink, who sourced it from local wholesalers here in Los Angeles, where it otherwise would’ve gone to waste. How awesome is that? – Uh, excuse me. I am receiving word that fruit is not exclusive to America. In fact, fruit can be found all over the world, and is often used for wild, unique, and exciting dishes, the likes of which we’ve never seen. – And I’ve just received word that the “Mythical Kitchen” has cooked up some of those dishes for us to try, like right now. – Oh, and I have just received word that is time for- ♪ “Where in the World ♪ ♪ Do these International Fruit Dishes Come From?” ♪ – [Stevie] Alright boys, you know how this goes. You’re gonna be trying fruit forward dishes from around the world, and then throwing a dart at the country you think they came from. Chase, the Sugar Plum Fairy cartographer, has graced us with his presence to measure how far you are from the correct answer. Whoever has the lowest score at the end gets to show off all the fruit knowledge they’ve been hiding via a very special prize. And since Link’s valiant three-game winning streak came to an end just last time, he’ll have the advantage of the cherry pick in any round of his choosing. – Okay. – Oh, you get… The advantage rolls back to you. – I’ll gladly pick a cherry. – Will it also be a useless hint, or will you get a real advantage? – (sighing) Oh, I- – I’m just receiving word, it will probably be actually helpful. – I hope so. – That’s disappointing. (rhythmic vocal humming) – What’s this, sort of a melon or a gourd? – Look at that. Oh, but move your hands! – It’s hot. It’s full of rice and it’s full of… There’s some beans in that puppy. – Look, it’s a cornucopia. – I have a plate here, I’m gonna rake some of this into it. But, I think I do wanna taste- – You gotta get some of the- – Some of the melon, to know what kinda… Is it a melon? – Well if it’s not, then I don’t know what a melon is. – It’s a melon. – [Stevie] I don’t wanna give away too much, but it is a Farmlink melon. – Oh. – Yup, yup, I feel that. – I feel like Farm Link would’ve known it was a Farmlink melon. – Now, there’s a little bit of peanut, a lotta rice. – I’ll be honest with ya- – And some sorta meat. – It’s the part that’s not melon that I’m kind of into. – (laughing) Yeah. – The melon part is sort of ruining the vibe for me. – It is a little strange and refreshing to have- – Nuts. – Melons in that. – Nuts- – Melon pieces. – Some kinda like parsley or a dill. Some onions. – There’s not any spice, there’s not… I’m not gonna call it bland ’cause I like bland. – Alright. – Whatever the good word for bland is, is what that is. – I’ve never had this in a melon before, but I’ve had like meat inside this long grain rice, with nuts, and I’ve always associated it with- – Turkey. – The Middle East. – Is that what you’re thinkin’? – Which the closest country to that area on this map is Turkey. Don’t overthink it, Rhett. – Don’t overthink it. He’s gettin’ close to Turkey. And I was hopin’ that’s what he would say ’cause I’m thinkin’ this is a little more Moroccan. Morock yo’ socks off with a melon stuffed with stuff. I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that on the radio, on Moroccan radio. – Oh yeah, always catch him listenin’ to Moroccan radio. (Stevie laughing amusingly) – [Link] Oh. – [Rhett] Ooh. – And I inadvertently got just as close to Turkey as you did. – Okay. – Intentional? You decide. – [Stevie] You just had kavun dolmasi, a stuffed melon. It’s a culinary remnant of the Ottoman Empire, consisting of a meat and rice filled melon. Families have been enjoying its unique flavor and mouthwatering aroma for centuries in Turkey. – Turkey. The Ottoman Empire. – I think this is- – This will be very… You might have actually gotten closer. – Neck and neck, first round. – Any wagers on how many cents you are? That’s my short for centimeter. – I would bet you a grain of rice. – Alright Rhett, you had six; and Link, you had seven. – [Link And Rhett] Ooh! – Rhett takes the small sliver of an early lead. – Just 1 cent. (rhythmic vocal humming returns) What a cute casserole dish. – It is. – Look at that size. It’s like a little bit smaller than normal. – So, there’s peanuts and bacon? That’s more than bits. – Oh, boy. And that looks like nanners. – Bacon chunks and bananas. It’s almost like fla… Thank you! – Is that too much? – No, that’s good, that’s perfect. – Eat it all now. Is this like flambeed? What is this on? (Rhett and Link chewing thoughtfully) Hmm. – Ha-ha-ha! – Nanner. – That’s tasty! – Sweetness, bacon. – Man, that’s good! I found a chicken, not a banana. – This is a wild dish, y’all. – It’s so good. Banana chicken? – I’m just a fan of any dish that has crunchy nuts and bacon. (cutlery clinking) Hmm. – I’m gonna take that little cute dish home with me. – The synergy between strange to me, yet good to me has never been higher. It’s a spice. – I know that they will put bananas into savory dishes in South America. So Paraguay, or Paraguay, you know, choose your own adventure, really? I do think it’s “Guay” though. That’s my first guess. But, the peanuts are throwin’ me off and makin’ me thinkin’ I might all the be all the way in Indonesia because- – [Link] What about Falkland Islands? You ever heard of that? – Yeah, I have. I doubt that’s it. So it’s like, I’m kinda torn between Indonesia and Paraguay. But I’ll just go with my instincts. – The bacon? – This could be a real big swing here, Link, either way, depending on what happens. (dart thudding) Oh, Falkland! – [Link] Falkland Islands. – Falkland! (everyone laughing amusingly) – If it is Falkland, (laughing) man, that would be crazy. I think he said Indonesia, in order to lure me there. I’m not buyin’ it. Nothin’ about this says Indonesia to me. The like- – Peanuts. (chewing gently) Bananas. – But the bananas of Tanzania. Like, Bananzania. – That’s true. – You know, it’s like the word banana just wants to fit inside of “Tanzania.” – Yeah. – [Link] But you are right about… I mean, it could be Guatemala. – It’s so good. I mean, I just can’t get over it. Can you tell? – You got a pig- – I’ve eaten like at least a banana and 1/2. – Now that I’ve said Tanzania, and if I change it to Guatemala which I’m thinkin’ about doing, I’m… Shoot, am I doing that thing? – What thing? – You know, the thing where I have the right answer and then I change it? So I’m gonna- – The funny thing is everybody watching can see the answer like right here. And some people are like, “I wish I couldn’t see it.” – What does it say? “Guatemala.” – And some people have got a thing that they’ve put here to block the answer. – It says “Guatemala.” – We can’t see that. (everyone laughing amusingly) I probably created like graphical problems every time I do that. – Here we go. – Somebody had to like do key things. (Chase laughing amusingly) Like whatever you call it, they had to key it out. – My answer is- – Guatemala. – Is Guatemala, but I’m gonna go towards Tanzania a little bit. – Okay. (dart thudding) – [Link] There we go. – [Stevie] You just had a casserole made with chicken, chili sauce, curry powder, cream, peanuts, bacon, and bananas. It’s known as the Flying Jacob, and was named after the air freight employee who invented it in Sweden. – [Link And Rhett] What? (everyone laughing amusingly) – An air employee? – [Stevie] Air freight, yeah. – Air freight employee in Sweden? – I mean, I would’ve guessed every other country including the Falkland Islands before Sweden. – (laughing) It seems like you were both plum outta luck there. But Rhett, you had 50; and Link, 30. – Yeah dude, that was a big swing. – Thank you. – Mmm. (rhythmic vocal music returns) Before we see our next international fruit dish, we wanna take a quick second to highlight some of the awesome work our friends at the Farmlink Project are doing. – Yeah, since April of 2020, a group of over 500 college students, AKA the Farmlink Project, have dedicated themselves to doin’ something about the fact that there are over 35,000,000 people in this country who face food insecurity. And it would take 7,400,000,000 pounds of food to ensure everybody has access to the food that they need. Now that may sound like a lot, but did you know that over 100,000,000,000 pounds of food go to waste in this country every year? – Yeah, we hear a lot about food goin’ to waste at grocery stores or in our homes, but tens of billions of pounds of perfectly good food never even make it to that point for a whole list of reasons. And the Farmlink Project has worked with hundreds of farmers to get their abundance of nutritious food to communities all across the country, over 100,000,000 pounds since the start of the pandemic, and they are just gettin’ started. – So that’s why we wanted to partner with ’em on this episode, to help highlight what they’re doin’ to end food waste, combat hunger, and keep thousands of tons of harmful emissions from entering the atmosphere. – Mm-hmm. – And 100% of the food you see behind us is gonna be donated to a local food pantry later today. – If you wanna help Farmlink in their mission to end hunger in the United States, go to farmlinkproject.org to find out more. – When you said, “Do you wanna help,” like something- – Help! – Something came up. It’s like you really felt it. – It’s guttural. – It came from your gut, “If you wanna help!” – Let’s see our next fruit. ♪ Bring it in, bring it in ♪ – Is this just a bowl of fruits? – It is a fruit salad, some people might call it that. – And there’s some red specks in it, so I’m gonna eat this pineapple. Is it hot? (“Mythical” Crew Member laughing amusingly) – I see pineapple. – There’s somethin’ over it. – I see papaya? I see- – What’s this green? – Apple. I see- – Cucumber. – Cucumber. I taste chili. – Mango. Alright, so now I’m in the lead, so I’m gonna go first. – Your turn. You still have an advantage, by the way. – Hmm. You know what? (tisking) I am not gonna use it going first. If I end up havin’ to go second, that’s an easier choice to use the advantage then. – Hmm. – It could be… It could be anywhere. I mean, a little bit of chili flake. I’m thinkin’ Guatemala again. I really am. It could be Morocco, but I don’t know, it’s just a chili flake. – It’s just a chili flake, come on, don’t get any ideas. – Alright, so I’m gonna do the same thing I did last time. (dart thudding) Whoop, but I went too low. How you feelin’? – I was really hopin’ that you might not do what you just did it. – Mm-hmm. – I mean, how could this not be Guatemala? I mean, I guess it could be Paraguay. – It’s just a bowl of fruit, it could be anywhere. – Yeah, but it’s certainly tropical. These fruits would definitely be in South America, they’ll also be in Central America. I gotta make up a little ground here. I gotta do better throws- – You gotta get real close to it, man. – I gotta do better throws. – And you’re closin’ an eye. – Yeah, I’m aiming. (dart thudding) Ooh! – Whew, that was close. – Okay, alright. – Please say Paraguay. – [Stevie] You just had fruit rujak, a very popular fruit and vegetable salad that I’ll let our resident expert tell you more about. – Oh, shoot. – [David] Rujak is one of the oldest dish in the culinary tradition of the Japanese people, AKA the largest ethnic group in Indonesia. – Shoot. – Indonesia, Indonesia. – That’s a good… Yeah, it makes sense. It’s also close to the equator. – Mm-hmm. – Link had 60; Rhett, 65. (Rhett sighing deeply) – Ooh yeah, that helped me. – It’s just a bigger hole. – We interrupt this episode of “Good Mythical Morning” to let you know that there’s a new video over on the Rhett and Link channel! – We finally made up for the recess that we were forced to miss back in 1984. – Check it out. (button clicking) ♪ Like a brother from another mother ♪ ♪ But I won’t tell you I love you ♪ ♪ ‘Cause that might make it weird ♪ ♪ Like my other significant other ♪ ♪ But I won’t tell you I love you ♪ ♪ Let’s just throw back some beers ♪ (rhythmic vocal music returns) Check out this new shirt design that we released at mythical.com. – I’ve been noticin’ it. – “Good Moth-ical Morning” is available in black and also sand color. It features moth illustrations with hidden “GMM” flame logos. – Oh. – Can you spot them? – Find them and you get it free. Actually no, that’s not how it works. Get it, and then find ’em. – Very cool shirt, mythical.com. – Are you in the mood for some… – Some chocolate… That is a- – What is that? – Well, it’s gotta be a fruit. I’m gonna dip it in chocolate in a second. – Oh! – So it’s a plantain type thing, but it’s stuffed with a brownness. – It’s very tasty, it’s very different. – Refried bean stuffed plantain dipped in chocolate. – You’re up, Link. – Hmm. – You’re up! – I can’t help but notice that you don’t wanna say anything. (everyone laughing amusingly) Why not, Rhett? – Because I’m tryna come back from my hole. – He’s startin’ to come out of his hole! (Link laughing comedically) Man, I keep showin’ love to Guatemala until it becomes the answer. I gotta go back to Guatemala, and this time, I’m gonna be so confident about it. I’m just gonna aim for it. It’s gotta be Guatemala. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. (dart thudding) Oh, that is close! I’m feelin’ it today! – Guatemala, excellent guess. – Thank you. – I am- – But you disagree? – Well, I think I have to out of game theory at this point, given the fact that I’m down by 24. I think I’ve gotta go to Paraguay, which I actually think would be my answer because these are… I don’t know, I’m just feelin’ a little bit more Paraguay because it feels a little more South American, but I’m just goin’ on instincts. I think it could be Guatemala. So I really need to get where you usually are when you throw first, and then I really gotta concentrate. (Rhett growling concentratedly) (dart thudding) Ah, shoot! – Ooh. – Horrible, horrible! – He’s frustrated. He’s feeling a loss in his future. – I’m not his even closer to the answer than you! – [Stevie] You just had rellenitos de platano, AKA a little stuffed plantain things. They’re deep fried dough balls stuffed with a mixture of beans, chocolate, cinnamon, and plantains, that can be served any time of day, any time of the year. But, they’re particularly popular around Christmas in Guatemala. – (groaning) Yeah. (everyone laughing amusingly) – Okay, Rhett, you had 13, so don’t have too much melon-choly. (laughing) It was a fruit pun, yeah. – ‘Cause of fruit. ‘Cause of fruit, fruit, fruit. – There’s just better ones than the Plum Fairy one, yeah. And Link, you had one. One! – Pretty impressive, pretty impressive. Boy, I’ve been such a big fruity hole. (rhythmic vocal music returns) – What is this? Is this a piece of- – It’s a piece of- – Toast? Two big slabs of bacon. – Bread, or? Bacon and apples. Apple bacon is a thing. – And one green onion sliver. (toast crunching crisply) Mm-hmm. – Hmm. – We got two bacon dishes, even though it’s a fruit episode. That’s a good day, even if you are losing. – That’s salty, that’s sweet- – Mmm! – Nicely balanced. You still have your advantage, Link. – Let’s see, I’m 36 centimeters in the lead. – It would be tough to lose at this point. – I can’t give up my advantage, or try to negotiate to defer it. I’m gonna use it. Bring in my cherry pick. Oh wow, look at that. So what do I do, just pick one? – [Stevie] Yes, you can only pick one, and one has something helpful on it and the rest don’t, ha! (everyone laughing amusingly) – Do they smell different? Um… It’s a wooden cherry. (everyone laughing amusingly) Only if you can get the hint off, can you take the hint. Take a hint, Link. Oh. Okay, well now… (wooden cherry bouncing) Whoa. (everyone laughing amusingly) Ew. (Chase laughing amusingly) – I don’t know if I can read it anymore. I don’t want you to read it! Oh gosh, (laughing) it’s so wet, I can’t… (everyone laughing amusingly) “Cherry bad”… “Ace?” “Cherry bad choice.” – “Cherry bad choice,” that means you chose the wrong one. – It did not help me at all. – All that for no hint. – Okay. Bacon, apples, toast. Bacon, apples, toast. Bacon, apples, toast. Hmm. I just have to go for the middle of the board. It’s hard to even come up with a guess here. It just has a… It doesn’t taste what I would call exotic. – Mmm. – So I don’t know, I gotta go for the middle of the board. – Whoa. (inhaling) Well- – I just kinda let my arm do the answering. – I mean, this has gotta be a European country, right? But if it’s a European country, you’re all… I mean, there’s no way… You’re close enough. – I went south, that helps you but- – Nah, it doesn’t, not enough. 36, so I have to take a chance here, Link, and I have to hope- – That this is Japan? – That this is a place that got some sort of bland kinda thing, but isn’t close to Europe. – Bland! – I’ve gotta go Australia, and just hope that for some reason the Australian people have adopted this. I mean, there’s nothing Australian about it. I’m just sayin’, it’s a bland thing. – That’s not a bad guess. – There’s a buncha white people down there in Australia that like bland things. (everyone laughing amusingly) Uh… (sighing) Oh, gosh. (dart thudding) (laughing) My throwing is so off today. Dang! – Weak sauce. – [Stevie] You just had Aebleflaesk. It’s a regional dish with numerous variations, but at its most traditional it’s simply fried pork and apples on rye bread, and it’s often enjoyed with beer or snaps in Denmark. – Yeah. – Denmark! I’ll accept it. – Rhett, you had 50. – [Rhett] That’s a lot. – Link, 21. – Mmm. – (exhaling) I love fruits so much more than I did at the beginning of this episode. I think that I’ve won, you know? – You’ve won the fruitiest episode of “International Darts” that we’ve ever had. – Which means that- – Congratulations. – Do I get to be a fruity brain, is that what’s happening? – Yeah. – I thought I said “Fruity Brian,” and then- – Me too. (Chase and Rhett laughing amusingly) – I realized it said, “Fruity Brain.” Once again, thank you to our friends at the Farmlink Project for working with us on today’s episode.
