GMM 2639: Exotic Fruits Taste Test

What’s going on inside these exotic fruits? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Summer. You know what goes best with summer? What? Fruits, baby. Oh, yeah. I love a good watermelon when it’s hot. I love a good pineapple when it’s hot. Orange. When it’s hot. I’m so glad that regular fruits excite you, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Regular fruits are old news. You gotta get on the exotic fruit train. And taste its disembodied flesh in the hopes of matching it to its unique outward appearance? Exactly. It’s time for. Don’t Rind if I Fruit Mystery Exotic Fruits Taste Test. Okay, boys, go ahead and taste the insides of the fruit in front of you, and then you’re going to guess which fruit it is from your options on the board. If you guess correctly, you get two points. You’ll then have the chance to guess what region that fruit comes from for an additional point. And the person at the end with the most points gets to take home the world’s most exotic snack, and perhaps more importantly, five thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars for their charity. And we get to take home an exotic snack. We get to take that home, you know what I’m saying? And they don’t have to stay here. I’m glad you’re excited about that, too. How would you describe the texture of this? Because I will go ahead and tell you. There is no taste. There’s a. It’s like a tasteless apple. There’s a taste that accumulates in the seventh or eighth cube. It began to register a little bit. What? It almost tastes like a. Well, not taste, but it almost feels like a tater, a potato. But like, between a potato and an apple. There’s something a little stinky. It it stinky? Are you getting a little stinky? Are you getting a little horny? Are you getting. One thing at a time. There’s a pineapple here after me. I’m so excited about pineapple. There it is. It might not be a pineapple, though. Could this be that? Could it be this? Can we touch it? No. You can gesture closely towards them like you were doing, though. It is a little stinky. I’ve seen number one before. These are cool. Look at that. Isn’t that cool? Number six. All right. I do not know what this is. Hold on. What has a lot of white innards that can be diced? All right, well, let’s poke at the same time. Three, two, one. I thought maybe that, but I’m actually. Yeah. These are small. I could not decide between those two. Number three is small, but if you dice enough of them, you can get that. You just had cherimoya, which is fruit number four. So, you can go ahead and take fruit number four off, inspect it. You can cut it open, because the question you have to answer next is, where is it from? Cherimoya? I like this. It looks. It looks like. It kind of looks like a heart. It also kind of has a little bit of a. Nipple, like a, like a suckle the teat kind of invitation. Am I wrong? You’re not wrong, dude. It has an artichoke. It’s hard. It’s hard. Look to. And all the seeds popped out when he did that, which was super cool. I’m trying to plant some. One note about the seeds, gentlemen. They are very, very poisonous. So if they have been crushed or compromised in any way. Okay, good. You will get sick. So just try to go around and eat just the flesh. What kind of sick? I don’t know, specs, but I have a feeling you’ll have food coming out of one end and the other. I thought you were calling Rhett specs. I don’t know, specs. You know, something that I don’t. Link would be specs. Do I have on little glasses today? Okay, so. Oh, my gosh. It actually. It could cause, like, stumbling seizures and paralysis. Oh, well. It’s not your typical diarrhea. Let’s try it, because that’s funny. Physical humor. But when you got to seizures, I was like, probably not. Yeah, yeah. Not funny. Those aren’t funny. No. Okay. All right, I’m gonna guess where I think this is from. Cherimoya. Cheramoya. Moya. Moya. Moya. Moya Moya. I mean, it’s gotta be. We gotta be in the circle? Okay, well. Whoa, look, we did exactly. Well, not exactly, but very close to the same thing. Did we? You did a little bit more northwest. Yep. I got all of Indonesia in mine. Cherimoyas are native to Ecuador and Peru and the Andes mountains. Oh, crap. We’re batting zero, boys. We’re batting zero. But I’m a little closer. Okay. We didn’t get it. We didn’t get it. Ecuador. I must disclose something. I had my teeth whitened yesterday. Well, how would we ever know? Okay. You’d have to show your teeth. Here’s the thing. Let’s see them. Here’s the thing. I got my teeth whitened yesterday. Okay. And the reason I got them whitened is not for you. It’s for my dentist. Because my dentist. I know this is weird, circular reasoning. When my dentist sees my teeth, I want him to see how white they are. So I got him to whiten them. Because I know my teeth don’t show. I mean, my teeth don’t even show in my little thing. And they were getting. You could lose all of them. They were getting a little stained, and I was just ready for it. For your dentist? And what I didn’t realize at the time until I was done with my session is the hygienist was like, eat nothing but white foods for seventy-two hours. And I was like, do you know what I do for a living? This isn’t white, man. So I’m making some exceptions to that. I’m not just sticking with white foods, but it said strongly colored fruits is something to avoid. And I didn’t want to say anything. What are you gonna do then? Just look at it. I’m gonna get. I think if I get a part that doesn’t have the red part, maybe I’ll be all right. Do your teeth not hurt really bad? They hurt real bad. I was gonna say. I ain’t never gonna get it done. Last night, it was pretty bad. Coffee teeth. I’m doing it. I had to take a. I had to take an “eye view” I had to take an “eye view” just to go to bed. Wow, this is interesting. Maybe I just suck it. So, this. Swallow it like a pill. Yeah, don’t let it. Taste much. It’s like a plum. It’s very juicy. It’s like there’s two different fruits in one. There’s a teeth staining fruit, and then there’s a. Tell me more. Like a plum. It’s plummy. So, is there any of these that look like they have two different types of fruits in one fruit? And it’s purple and pear flesh colored. All right. Based on the way you described it. Well, you can see it. Yeah, but then you described it in the taste region. Yeah. And I want to touch them, but that would be cheating. Okay. Three, two, one. We don’t have a clue. I mean, this orange thing, number one. There’s not. No, it ain’t in that. What is that? That’s like a kumquat. You just ate tamarillo, which is fruit number six. What? Yeah. You can touch it. You can inspect it, you can cut it open, and you’re gonna tell me where it’s from. Well, here’s the thing. I should have chosen this, because it’s like a plum. And we both should have chosen it because. It’s the same color. We’re both so dumb, but in different directions. Oh, yeah. Obviously. Look at that. Nice. Look at that. You can eat the seeds for this one. And you can eat the skin. I can’t. It’s bitter. That’s true. I can’t. You can’t. You should avoid it. You can eat the skin? Yeah. I can smell it. This is such an. It smells nice. It’s. There’s a bitterness to it. That’s the skin. It’s edible, but you typically wouldn’t eat it. Edible, but not advisable. Yeah, don’t do that again, Link. No more skin. Where are we from? Oh, yeah, that’s part of this. You called it what? A tamarillo? Tamarillo. Tamarillo. Well, hold on now. Boy, I wish I wouldn’t have eaten the skin, because that’s really sticking with me. Maybe I’ll just eat some more of the inside. I’m ready. Okay. I’m in South America. Oh, dang it, Link. We are so on the same page. Exact same place. We are so on the same page. Look at us, look at us. In the same place. Exactly same place. Almost. Tamarillos are native to the Andes as well. Specifically Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. You got it. So, we all got it? Yes. We all got it. All right. We all both got it. You all did not guess the correct fruit, but you all guessed the correct region. So better than last round. Points. We’re improving. Quick reminder, all summer long, we are playing for charities. I am playing for Save the Children. And I am playing for Inner-City Arts. So there’s a lot at stake here. Getting all the money to the charities. This is a relatively colorless sweet smelling. Is this white enough? Dentist on my shoulder. I think that’s pretty white. Sweet, mild, fibrous. Would you even say maybe nutty? I wouldn’t. Would you? No. You were trying to make me think it was nutty. You can’t make me think something nutty when it’s not nutty. That’s nutty, man. I mean, if you thought it was nutty, it’d be because this thing has a stick coming off of it. There’s no sticks in here. Sticks got nuts. Nuts got sticks. No, sticks and nuts are relatives. Every time I see a stick, there’s usually nuts around. That’s right. I’m feeling. I’m feeling like this pineapple is fishy. Oh, it’s a fishy pineapple? Why would they put it there? It’s probably been injected with dye or something. Okay, I’m ready. Three, two, one. I do think it was nutty, man. No, I am. I am. If this isn’t right, I’m gonna be sorely disappointed. Cause I feel one hundred percent confident that it’s number one. You just tasted longan, which is fruit number five. Nut. What? Nut. I’ve had that before, and it’s this, Stevie. No. Here’s lunch, man. Longan? Here. Bring a longan in here. This is a longan? Oh, look. Look at that. There it is. That’s perfect. See what I’m talking about? Yeah. See what I’m talking about? Look away, kids. Look away. Look away. It’s a longan. Oh, this actually makes me hurt now. So that one has a seed in it, kind of. Oh, well, you know what?.This one makes me hurt. Hold on, I’ll cut it right in half. See, I was thinking it was grape. Like a grapey type thing. Almost like a muscadine. A muscadine with a nutty flavor. All right, where is this thing? Longan. Longan. It’s a longan. My goodness. I don’t really. What is that? Okay, I’m locked in. This is where I think it is. Okay. Well, hold on. That’s desert. All right. well, okay, I’m back over here. Oh, my goodness. Link, can you believe this? We literally have the exact same circle. What are we doing, dude? I was just like. We agree. I’m getting China in there and then going as far south as possible. Longan is native to Myanmar and southern China. You both got it correct. It translates to dragon eye. So when you were talking about the eyeball of the grape, that’s kind of what this is, too. The dragon eye. Dang. Hey. How do we keep picking the same regions, man? What do we have here? It doesn’t excite me. What do we need to excite you? Something that would stain my teeth. Okay. It’s brown and orange. Oh, it does excite me. It is sour. Wow. I mean, this is almost like Warhead level. There’s a cleaner quality to it, like, not that it’s, not in comparison to other things, but. It doesn’t taste natural Is what you’re saying, right? It tastes unnaturally. I agree. This isn’t natural. Maybe it’s a natural disinfectant that all the unnatural disinfectants that we smell are. I like it, though. Flavored after. It’s a lemony. Is eating all this exotic fruit gonna make me do a little stinky? I should have thought of that before I just was doing spoonful after spoonful. Do an exotic stinky, and then eBay it. If I do a little stinky. You can send me home. I like this one. It, it gets my cordials. Hey, if anybody does a little stinky. They get to go home. But we’re gonna have people crapping their pants left and right to get out of here. What about in the toilet? You gotta be specific. It will be PTO. Just so you know that. If you do a little stinky and you go home, the rest of the time is PTO. But, so you will cut into that a little bit. But it is an acceptable, you know, reason for PTO. It’s STO. Stinky time off. Stinky time off. Stinky time. There’s not too many left. There aren’t that many left. And I really. There’s that dadgum pineapple. Why would they give us that pineapple? They’re just trying to, they’re just F-ing with us. It’s a red herring. So is it from the yellow? Is it from the white? I mean the green. You’re calling that yellow? Orange? Yeah. I’d call it orange. All right. Three, two, one. I know what’s up here. That’s no pineapple. You just had feijoa. Which is fruit number three. Yes. Shoot. Well, crap. I’ve been feijoa-d. That’s soft. I mean. I could just pull this apart, Rhett. Really? You could also drop it on the knife from a distance. I didn’t say throw it. I said drop it. No. Let gravity. Well, I’ve already done it harder. And it didn’t work. All right. All right. What about this? No. Don’t cut backwards. Look at that. That’s kind of cool. Yeah. That was pretty cool. It looks like a pickle. It looks like a pickle. It doesn’t taste like a pickle. Feijoa. Yeah. You’re supposed to take the spoon and scoop out the middle. Well. We can do that, Stevie. Watch. Watch us do it. I don’t want to eat it though, because I just want. Oh, yeah. I’m worried about that little stinky. Oh, look at that. It is a little stinky. Eat it. It’s like. It’s like sour candy. This is my favorite fruit we’ve encountered today. This is crazy, dude. They’re also known as pineapple guavas or guavasteens. And its shape is roughly that of a prolate spheroid. There it goes. A prolate spheroid? Isn’t that fun? Prolate spheroid. Where would that be from? This looks like a little eggplant. I’ve lost. I might as well just go down to the tip of South America. Where are prolate spheroids? I think it’s a highly coveted exotic fruit. Down at the tip. What’s that point called? So, you know, everything in the circle counts as your guess. But what you’ve chosen to do is? Okay. Yep. Because I’ve already lost big time, and I might as well do this. I think this is an Amazonian product. I also included Suriname, and other countries. Feijoas are native to southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, Uruguay, and northern Argentina. All right. Did you get it? Brazil. Yes, I got it in there. Good work. But here’s what I really want to see, because you’ve won, but. Can I see your circle? I mean, we have some judges back here. Hold on, Brazil? Well, he won either way. Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay. I’m in Paraguay. Hold on. Isn’t that Paraguay right there? Yes. It’s in my. I got the red on it. Okay. It doesn’t matter. You pulled out the win anyway. And open up this exotic pineapple. Oh, it’s hard to get into. This is the grand finale. It’s a trick pineapple. I don’t know why it came back out. I wonder what’s in it. It’s a pink pineapple. What? I knew y’all were futzing with us. Fujuking? What is that fruit? What is the? This is a pink pineapple. F word fruit. From earlier. Feijoa. How do they make it? Feijoa. Feijoa. How do they make a pink pineapple? Let’s learn more about that and more, and you also have another fruit to open. And, Rhett, big news, five thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars for Save the Children, and bigger news, apparently, you also get to take home the world’s most exotic snack. So, let’s bring that in. Well, don’t mind if I do. I’m the world’s most exotic snack. Davin? Yeah. He had his hands behind his back. I thought he was gonna be carrying something. I know. No, it’s me. It’s me. Yeah. Okay. Are you nutty? I can be if you want. Thanks subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Hey, I’m Fischer. And I’m Courtney. And we’re in Arequipa, Peru.
