Should we be eating the cheapest California rolls we can find? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Before we get started, we want to let you know that this is the final week of season 26 of Good Mythical Morning. Oh no. It’s kind of hard to believe that we’re already here, but hey, don’t worry. We’re still gonna be here over the next two weeks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with some very special end of year episodes. That’s right, we’re gonna have countdowns of the best and wildest moments of the year, plus some new marathons and more, and then we’re gonna be back again, of course, in 2025 with season 27 of GMM. All right, but today, at long last, we are tasting all the favorite foods of an MKVIP. That’s Mythical Kitchen. Hailing from the state of Maine, she also holds the world record for largest number of lobsters caught with her own teeth. It’s Mythical Kitchen’s very own Lily Cousins. That’s right. 22 of them. 22 in one outing? Um, yeah, one outing, 22 a day. Wow. Multiple days with your teeth. With my teeth, on average. Do you have a license for that? Or do we need to report you to the Maine Fish and Wildlife and Lobster Department? Commission. Commission. Yeah. You just go down and get it at the license place. The license. License place. V of Lobsters. The Department of Moving Motor. Vehicle of Lobsters. Lobsters, yes. Okay. Lily Cousins? Yes. Oh. Uh, I just want to, It’s time for, I know but here’s the thing. It’s time for, Is that, How many cousins do you have? I don’t know. One passed away a while ago. Now, hey, now, it’s time for Naked Food. Naked Lily Edition. Naked. At this point, it’s getting weird to have to keep reminding you it’s the food that’s naked. Okay, boys, throughout today’s game, Lily’s favorite foods will be served at low, mid, high, and fancy price levels. Each round, you’ll pick your favorite, and by the end, we’ll find out how expensive your taste buds are. Up first, these are California rolls. These are California rolls. Uh huh. Wow. Everyone’s introduction to sushi is your favorite, one of your favorite foods. How is that Lily? I used to be like, oh, California rolls are so basic. But then I went to this place, which is on the table, and I was like, Ooh, they’re not so basic. And then I’ll eat it in my car. Oh. It’s like have a good little snack. That’s where my grocery store. I’m trying to, It’s that bad? Get over the. The seaweed of it all, cause I’m, you know, that’s the part that troubles me sometimes. They’re so big! Oh, that one’s coming apart. I’ll move, I’ll move right along. I’m gonna eat half of this. Wooee! Let me see. I have, I have really almost destroyed that, but I have it. I have it. Whoa! That is so much better than the first one. Mhmm! There’s some like toasted, what’s going on in that? Makes it so good. I think it’s the seaweed that tastes really good in that. It almost has like a toasted taste to it. Seaweed is not bumpin me. There’s lots of, uh, crab in there. Mm hmm. So much crab in this one. They’re like the fake crab, which is actually good. Mm hmm. Um, this is, could be fancy, cause it’s got some real pieces of crab in here. Yeah, look at that. It’s got like, um, an orange thing. Everything’s in stalk form. Stalk. Um, how you gonna do this? What you gonna do? I’ve just been eating them all. But I’m gonna try to get the black tape off of it. The black tape. Maybe, maybe that’s your problem. You’ve been thinking it’s tape. I can’t do it. You’re not gonna like that one because that seaweed is very, very strong. This one, It’s really crunchy, though. They did something to the seaweed to make it taste like sesame oil or something. He’s spitting it out. And then finally, a little one. I’m spitting it out just cause I don’t, I don’t have time to sit here and watch myself chew, and neither do you. No one loves that. This last one’s really good. It’s got a lot of, of the crab. It’s really stuffy. Wow. It’s like a miniature version of these ones that I really like. Very miniature. Very maxiture. It’s the sesame seeds mixed into the rice on both of these that are really bringing a lot of, that’s on the first one too, but I don’t know. These two right here, dog, these are both bonafide good. They are. I don’t know which one I like more. Okay, time to pick your fave. Alright, Lily, let’s see if we can share your tastes. Three, two, one. I’m going with Big Daddy. Okay, well, you’ve both chosen the mid price point. What? Yama Sushi Marketplace for 7. 59. And It is Lily’s favorite! I’m gonna take the one that we kind of broke and spit on. Thank you. I’m gonna take it off of the plate so you don’t even know it was there. I have my soy sauce ready. We’ll give it to you between rounds. Let’s hear the rest. There’s five of them. Five of them. So the first one was from the grocery store from Trader Joe’s, our low price point option for 5. 99. They were kind of stingy. And then the one that you thought was fancy was fancy from Asanabo for 20. And then the last one that you also liked was our high price point option from Yume Sushi for 10. Well, a lot of times I try to defend grocery store sushi, but I kind of feel like it didn’t really hold up today. And if you’re going to do a California roll, it wasn’t horrible. Even if you’re trying to be fancy, don’t do away with what makes a California roll a California roll and go with this other types of crab. It just didn’t work. And I’m gonna eat this rejected crab. Mmm. This is agua chile. This is agua chile. Oh, is that just a type of ceviche? What is agua chile? Oh, me. Um, it’s, it is like ceviche, so traditionally it’s with shrimp, raw shrimp. But the green in it is blended serrano, cilantro, lime juice. Ooh. It’s really, and it tends to be a little spicier than ceviche as well. Dang. Is that, uh, cucumbers in that? There’s cucumbers, too. Mm. I love this. I’m getting so many onions by accident. Okay, here we go. I’ve had this. I just thought it was spicy ceviche. It’s so good. I mean, it kind of is. But better, I feel like. Is it true that it’s the sun that cooks it? The sun? No, you’ve asked that many times on this show. I don’t know what, Who’s son? It’s citrus. You don’t set food out in the sun. At least fish. That’s what I was told. Oh, they lied. I was thinking S O N. Like somebody’s son. And I was like. Nah. Do they put this inside the sun? Did your son cook this? I like the green of the, that’s why it’s called that, you know. Because of the green sauce. What? What part of agua chile is green? It’s implied. Um, I don’t like this as much. It’s very refreshing though. It’s good. There’s more going on in this one. If I ate this for lunch, I would feel like I was a good boy. I’m not as big a fan of the big shrimps. It’s making my throat tickle. This one, is, what is going on here? Well, there’s big pieces of avocado, and whatever this, Why is it all so big? What is this? What is happening here? Is this a piece of a shrimp, or is this a different type of bean? It’s like spaghetti. Ooh, that’s weird. Oh, it’s very spicy. It’s so spicy. It really hits you. Oh my God. Woo hoo hey! That is, and it’s strange. Wow. I think it’s the pepper, the serrano. Oh, yeah, it’s blended into it. Tastes so strong. I just don’t like the consistent, I want the shrimp to be a little bit more edible like size. It’s very long and stringy shrimp. How about prawns, just full size prawns? Well, no, this is just the heads are sitting in there. Oh. I can’t even see what’s happening on this one. Is that just a big thing of, what is that in the middle, just avocado? It’s like an avocado twist. Oh, God. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that’s a good bite. Whoa! That’s a big thing of shrimp. Good gracious. I’m making a mess. I am afraid of how spicy it may be, but I really like the flavor of that one. That’s some refreshing stuff. Flavor wise, I think I know the one I like. Three. Consistency, I like that one. Two. One. Flavor wise, this is incredible. It just tastes far and away so much better. You have both chosen our high price point option from Holbox for $22 and Lily’s favorite! Yeah, Lily! Lily, we share your tastes. Yeah, we have similar tastes. You like Holbox? Uh, yeah. It’s, uh, Holbox. Oh. It’s better to say it that way. Holbox. Holbox. I like the Holbox. Listen, I was told Holbox, uh, Lily. I don’t just want some of it. It’s Holbox. It’s Holbox. We also have, uh, our fancy one was the first one that you liked the texture of from Javier’s. Javier’s doing it. It’s pretty good, I almost voted for that. I think it’s Javier’s, uh, but, uh, you know. Nope, it’s Javier’s. The next one is our low price point option from the grocery store, El Super, for 4. 29. Least favorite. And then the mid price point option from Playita Mariscos for $7. Yeah. Shrimp’s too big.

This is Baba Ghanoush! I love it! Baba Ghanoush. I was hoping that’s what it was. It looked a little different than I was expecting. Especially this one. We typically, uh, you know, you dip some breads in it, but it’s, it’s, we gotta go naked. You’ve got good taste, Lily. Thank you. I think the first time I had this dish was, or dip, is Zanku Chicken. And it’s good there. It’s very good there. Yeah. And now I love it. I love it when I don’t know what’s in it. So don’t tell me. Eggplant. Eggplant. Oh, is there eggplant in it? Don’t like it. That one, the first one’s nutty. It’s sweet. What I like is the baba ganoush that has that really smoky. I love, yes. You like the roasty? I’m waiting for the super smoky one. Well that didn’t happen in the first one. It didn’t. It was nutty. It was good. I like the nutty feeling of fanciness. And then, so there’s, what else is in it? Eggplant’s the thing I’m scared of. Tahini. Lemon. This is classic. I like that one. It’s roasty. I could get into that. It’s not too roasty. This one looks like hummus. It’s just very simple looking, but stringy. That’s super eggplant y. Like, they didn’t put a lot of stuff in there. Mm mm. Like, you gotta put stuff in there. Texture alert! You gotta put stuff in there besides eggplant. It’s very, ugh. You can’t just mush up an eggplant and call it a day. But let’s, let’s, this one’s, uh, whiter. It’s got some, some chive stuff happening. That’s a good taste. Oh. Oh. That’s a good taste. That’s got a little bit nuttiness, too. It’s, is it roasty enough for you? None of them are as roasty as I like to get. Yep, I knew you were gonna be disappointed when I tasted that last one. Hold on. Between these two. You don’t like roasty as much? Is one of these your favorite, you think? Mm hmm. I do like roasty. All right. I know which one I like the best. Three, two, one. Ha! We disagree! Okay, Rhett, you have chosen the mid price point option from Carousel. for $6.75. Very good restaurant, Carousel. Very good. Link, you have chosen the fancy price point option from Bavel for 18, which is also Lily’s favorite. Bavel is great. And also you have triggered the fancy pantaloon saloon. Yee haw! I’m afraid to ask. Where are the pantaloons, Devin? Fancy! To you, but it’s on this side. Yeah, I see that. But where are the, were those panties? Uh, he’s wearing pants, yeah. But not pantaloons. Uh, I mean, uh, You wouldn’t know. I mean, it might be under there. I thought he was gonna whip out some panties. Oh, my God. That was a fanciest I’ve ever seen Dave and Bea. I’m disappointed in no panties. Uh, the second one Bavel is bombed up. Bavel is great, yes, yes. The second one is from Marouche, our high price point option for $13, and then the one that you really didn’t like was our low price point grocery store option from Cortas. Grocery store? Yeah. This is Tuxedo Cheesecake. This is Tuxedo Cheesecake! Oh, dang! I’m having the best time of my life. We got a tall one and we got a just right one. If you want the tip, I’ll go for the , I’m actually gonna get a little bit of the whiteness. But yeah, I got the tip, thank you. Mmm. It’s very good. It, um, Is this your favorite type of cheesecake? Yeah, I love it. It’s like dark, chocolatey, indulgent. This is screaming grocery store a little bit. It’s not bad at all. But it’s not bad. You know. Alright, I’ll let you have the tip. If you want to let me have part of this. I want the back. Oh my gosh, did you see what happened with that? What happened? Oh! Oh! Oh! That one’s got so much personality. What is happening? There’s so many layers. You could archeologically explore this and learn so many things about how it was made. That’s the kind of paleontologist I wanna be, a cheesecake paleontologist. That’s good right here. This one, it looks, I don’t know, it looks a little, let’s just see. There’s no, Pretty moussey. No crust on the back. Crust on the bottom though. Mmm. The cheesecake is really workin there. Wow. This is the first one that I’m still tasting actual, normal cheesecake. Coming back to this one. And the, like that, this Oreo cookie crust? This is almost like a chocolate pie. What is happening here? Lily, you may not have any of this to try, I’m sorry. No, I need to try it. All of them. Sorry, Lily. Stop! Stop! Sorry, Lily. No, come on. Just trying to make the right decision. know, you know which one you like. Alright, I know which one I like. Three. I’m just, I’m just gonna vote for the one that I like. Two. One. The cheesecake of it all. This is so good, this is so close, but there’s just the tang of the cheesecake. Something about this, just, just that much better. You have, for the first time this entire game, not chosen Lily’s favorite, but you have chosen the mid price point option Callie Owl’s Cheesecake for 55. Lily’s favorite was the one that you were, yep, debating. The one in the middle, our fancy option from Cheesecake Factory for 69. Cheesecake Factory from that. And then the first one is from the grocery store. Signature Select. Signature Select from Pavilions, $21.99. All right, so Lily, you need to try the one that we like. I do, I haven’t tried it.
