GMM 2723: Will It Dumpling? Taste Test

Today we ask the age old question again. Will it dumpling? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Dumplings are incredible because they’re so mysterious. You can stuff just about anything inside that deceptively simple little wrapper. And boy, have we tried. Yes, we have, but the last time we tried was way back in 2016. Rhett had short hair instead of long hair, and I had glasses that made me look smart instead of these glasses that make me look dangerous. But, some things never change, like our commitment to trying strange and unusual new dumplings dreamed up by the mad geniuses over in the Mythical Kitchen. And this time, they are upping the ante. Woo! It’s time for Will it Dumpling? Reheated! So we’ve been thinking about a root beer float, because that’s already an interesting combination of two things. Root beer and and float. How does it happen? Why not combine it with the third thing, the dumpling, because they can hold soup. Why can’t they hold root beer floats? Why can’t they? Behold, the rooty tooty floatin dumpy. Ha ha, that’s catchy. Lily, what did you do? This is a root beer dumpling dough stuffed with vanilla ice cream and micro planed root beer barrel candies on top. Micro. Planed. Micro planed? Yeah, micro planed. It’s a tool. A tool. Little planes? Yeah, just a little, like, grater. Oh. Yeah. That kind of planes. Look at that. So this is the, this is the, And this cream makes it the floaty part? Yeah, put that on there. Um, well bite inside and see. See what happens. Okay. She’s like, stop asking questions. Give it a little dink it. And a little sink it. Wow. Uh oh. Nope. I’ve made a mess. It busted. Oh my gosh, it’s good! I broke it. So the, the, root beer part of this, Is the dough. Yes. And that’s what makes me like it dough much. It’s so great this way. So you’re liking root beer now. Yeah, when it’s in dough form, this is great. You know, the inventor of the root beer, Charles Hires, he wanted to call the beverage root tea. But then the Pennsylvania coal miners that he was marketing to, He thought that he could reach them better if he called it beer, so he did. And since then. And all these years later. Generations of children have. Thought they’d been getting away with something. Yep, mm hmm, that’s why I always liked it. Mm, mm hmm. And I always love, I love when things float in my little drinks, on purpose. I don’t like when something accidentally floats. Yeah, you don’t wanna find an undesirable floaty. But I don’t make a lot of root beer floats or Coke floats, I don’t make a lot of floats for myself because it feels. Like you’re selling out. It just feels a little childish, you know? If I have ice cream and I’ve got root beer, I’m afraid to dump a little scoop in there, because I feel like, um, somebody’s gonna judge me. But here I am. Eating root beer dumplings on the internet. And no one is judging you. No. In the comments or on Reddit. No. Never anywhere. Never. I’ve never been judged. You’re not being judged at all, right? Nothing about me’s ever been called out, and we are super happy anytime that I can love something. Root beer says a lot. Well follow it up with a little cherry. That’s what makes it really count. But I don’t love cherries. These are the best cherries, the ones that have been completely changed in form. Root Beer Float. Will it dumpling? Yes! Being the down home boys that we are, we love a good seafood boil. A diverse array of tasty goodies all jostling for space inside a little plastic bag full of butter and spices. Never quite living in true harmony. Until now. Presenting the hook, line, and dumper. I sound like, uh, North Carolina in the, Yeah, why? In the, uh it’s not that I not, I sound like North Carolina. It’s that North Carolina sounds like someone trying to do a bad Cajun accent. Yeah. I don’t know, who does North Carolina? I don’t know who does North Carolina. I don’t know who that would be. Carney, do you know who that would be? A good old seafood war. Yeah. What do we call those episodes? The stadium foods. The stadium foods. All right, Lily, what did you do? Well, these are steamed xiaolongbaos stuffed with shrimp, crawfish, king crab, seafood stock, corn, and sausage, and then tossed in a Cajun butter sauce. Yes! Please. They look so good! And they’re in a bag. They got a little slimy in this bag, but that’s gonna be alright. But isn’t that part of it? Messy. Oh my. Yeah, this is such a messy thing. Oh, it’s coming apart. It’s not as messy as just, like, how you would normally eat them. Mmm! Good golly. Okay. Wow. I guarantee that’s amazing. Mhmm! Mhmm! I mean, don’t you like your dumplings in a bag? I, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not mad at it cause it’s steamy. It’s like, you know, you want them steamed. These would be perfect to take on a plane. Yeah, they smell great. Crabby and fishy. Seafood boil in a bag and then you just get on a plane and you open it up. Oh my gosh. Get a little side eye. That is so good. This should be a thing. It is a thing. Hey, we just made it a thing. That’s the thing. The royal we. You and us. Sometimes we think that it needs to occur somewhere else in the world in order to be a thing, but maybe we should just be satisfied with something that’s just a thing on this show. We made a thing. We make a thing and we just celebrate it. We don’t expect it to become a real thing somewhere else. I expect this to become a real thing somewhere else because it’s awesome. Lily, are you as proud of you as I am of us? I’m proud of you. No, be proud of you. You should be proud of yourself. I really can’t. Thank you. He’s ruining your dumplings, though, I will say. I’m glad you can’t see it because they’re in this bag. It’s kind of hard to grab them. He just completely put one in three pieces. Mm hmm. If you don’t eat the whole thing at once, you’re gonna I do think I need to eat it. You’re gonna embarrass yourself like Rhett when he’s trying to eat a float. You know, there, there is also something kind of childish about putting on a bib. Are y’all trying to make us look dumb? Stupid. Immature today. Little. Little boys. This is great. Uh, this is a thing here. And if it’s not a thing where you are, that’s your loss. Seafood boil. Will it dumpling? Yeah!

MythicalSociety. com for details. Yeah, alright. We wanted to bring dumplings to the movie theater. Yes, but we got kicked out when we tried. Yeah, so we, we, we had to say Well, these are popcorn dumplings. That’s right. And, and then they would let us in. Right. Is what we’re hoping. Even though we didn’t, they didn’t make them, Lily did. Well, we’ve established that. Yeah. Yeah. Right. But they will be in my pocket. Okay. Of your trash coat. This is called Pop goes the dumpling. It could all be also be called Jiffy Dump. Oh, I like that. Yeah. Or. Take a dumpling on me. Remember that? Oh, yes. The restaurant. We came up with a restaurant. The failed restaurant concept. Yeah, where we would sell all of these. And now that we have the crab thing, and the popcorn thing, if this is good, Take a Dumpling On Us Can be back anytime you think. It’s back on the, it’s in the zeitgeist. Coming to a food court near you at a dying mall. And will we still have the cod sperm dumplings? Of course, cause they were great. That’s a specialty. From what I remember. Lily, what did you do? These are deep fried shumai, stuffed with popcorn, movie theater butter, and pork. Oh, thank you for adding pork. Pork and butter in there? I, I, I haven’t been known to put a little pork in my movie theater bucket. And that, it looks like it’s gonna be real crunchy. Uh, I don’t want to eat the whole thing at once though. But do it. We should, right? I think you should. Okay. Because I tried to eat half of it before. I dink it. And I sink it. Oh, it’s hot. Very crunchy. Is yours hot? Mine’s a little temperature hot. You get the crunch from the fried gyoza. You get the crunch from the popcorn. And you get the pork from the pork. And you get the butter from the butter. Good gracious this is good. Hmm. Why is this so good? And it’s so corny. Oh gosh. I’m a little afraid of having to reach down into a buttery bowl of the movie though. We don’t go to the movies together enough anymore. It’s quiet. Remember when we used to do that? What? You remember back, Did you not hear me or did you? I said it’s quiet. Yeah, yeah. So I said, My brain was in another place. So I said, we don’t go to the movies. You know, I said, what? It’s quiet. And you just spit out some popcorn. So, I got the last laugh. Just like the old times. Yeah. I remember we used to go see movies all the time. Well, back in the day. Yeah, you know, When we didn’t work together. No, I’m sayin when we had like one employee, remember those days? Yeah, and sometimes we would show up and we would be like Let’s go see a movie Yeah, remember that y’all don’t let us do that now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, then you hired your second employee Yeah, and she did not let you go to the movies. I know but those days were so fun Stevie. Remember that time we went and saw The Musketeer movie, it was so bad we walked out. Into another movie. Mm hmm. Ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, this is so good. You can go out of a movie and into another movie and it’s legal as long as the first movie hasn’t ended. Yeah. I once watched nine half movies in a day. Yep. Which is. And one of them was nine and a half weeks. Ha ha ha. I confused myself so much that day. I was trying to get to the last half week. I never did. It’s quiet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, has no business being this good. I’m surprised you like it that much. Oh, really? You didn’t like it? I, I couldn’t tell, like, it definitely tastes like movie theater popcorn. And I think the pork actually helps push the butter flavor. It’s, I’m surprised you like it because it’s, it’s a little, it is a little dry and I’m usually not sensitive to, uh, dryness. But it’s so crunchy and it’s, it’s not too buttery. And I feel like. It’ll be on the menu at Take a Dump on Us. Well, you can take those home with you. I don’t mind. Take a Dump on Us. Come, come by. Put it, work a shift. Dumpling on Us. Movie theater popcorn. Will it dumpling? Yes! I’ve always heard that old people, especially old men, start really liking pepper as they get old. I remember this happening with my grandpa. Black pepper. Black pepper. And then I am now seeing it happen with you. I’m getting older. You’re putting black pepper on everything. I, I’ve always put a lot of black pepper on things though, but now that I’m getting older, I put even more on there because I need to feel alive before I die. Can you have too much pepper in a dumpling? Well, let’s find out with the Peppersode 1, the phantom dumpling. Peppersode, Peppersode 1, the phantom dumpling. Lily, what’d you do? This is a black pepper gyoza pan fried, then steamed. On the side, you have a black pepper oil to dip. I think I’m going to do, whoa, I’m handing these. I’m hand, hand, hand. This is nothing but black pepper in this dip. Is there nothing but black pepper in the. I don’t know. Don’t go, don’t be bashful. I like black pepper. Big bites. Oh. Uh oh. That is, that was a whole peppercorn. Oh my gosh! The inside of that. Woo! Oh my goodness. It stings a lot. It’s good for your digestion, though. No, I think it’s bad for my digestion. No, it’s good for your digestion. I think it’s an irritant. I think it’s an intoxicant. Black pepper, oh god. What’s it called? When you, uh, inflammatory. Black pepper’s good for your body, right? Yeah. It inflames. Ugh! Why is it so, why is it so, so what it is? It’s the only way it is. We need to make Lily deal with this. Um, hit the third mouth. It’s too much! Oh, God. Lily, you have worked so hard today. We want to reward you with the fruits of your labor. We’ve been, come in here. Okay, I don’t want to. Ugh! We’ve been praising your work. Ugh! I don’t like it. Ugh! Good gracious. Hold on, now. It tastes like I ate a, No, don’t eat it yet. Don’t eat it yet. It tastes like I ate a hot pepper. I’m hiccuping real bad. Pepper’s spicy. Ugh. What do you want me to do with it? You’re so young. You’re so, you’re not in the market for, to be peppered. You know what? You might want one of these. Just eat half of it. Like we just get a little dip. Okay. And you need to eat it, but you don’t need to swallow it here. Take that. I did. I, Oh, you did? It’s true. You didn’t try this. I had a time. No, I did. I can’t swallow it. Should I not have? I don’t think you should have. At first it’s fine, and then it’s not. It gets bad and worse, and then it’s too much. Ugh. Yeah. I’m just not old enough for this. I know, we need to get older. If I was real old, I would love every second of this. Maybe like, my whole tongue is just burning so bad. Can I go? Is it just regular black pepper? Mm hmm, just freshly ground. Oh, thanks for that. Ay, goodness gracious. Yes, you can go. Uh, but come back. You can go. Come back. Oh gosh, she did such a good job. And then we let her have it with herself. Now I understand. When, like, a kid, like a little kid would be like, Pepper’s too spicy. Is it? Yeah, I didn’t know it was that spicy, too. I didn’t know that. I didn’t understand. Black pepper, will it dumpling? No! Noooo! Well, you did an amazing job, Lily. Good job. And, uh, and then you got what you deserved right there at the end.
