GMM 2733: International New Years Foods Taste Test

Today we’re trying New Year’s dishes from around the world. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning, and happy season 27 of Good Mythical Morning. What? And happy Mythical New Year. That’s right. It’s good to see you again. We’ve missed you over the past few weeks. Yes, we have. Um, you make any, uh, resolutions this year? Um, you know the typical ones. I’m gonna read more, exercise more, eat more traditional New Year’s foods from around the world, and try to guess where they’re from. Okay, well, you’re in luck because it’s time for Where in the World Do These International New Year’s Dishes Come From? Okay, boys, you’ll be tasting traditional New Year’s dishes from around the globe, then throwing darts at where you think they’re from. In the spirit of a fresh start for the new year, you’ll both be back to using real darts and Chase, the new year, new me cartographer, will be doing the measuring. Hey guys. Okay, well, I understand the planner. I don’t understand the leggings. Uh, well yeah, I gotta work out more too. I’m gonna be trying to get all my resolutions in. I’m gonna travel more. I’m actually gonna go to Thailand like right after this. Go do some scuba diving. Seriously? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and we weren’t invited? Uh, no. Sorry. You gotta show to do. What’s with the shirt? You know, we don’t like that shirt. It’s moisture wicking. It’s a moisture wicking shirt. I also really want to fit back into like doing all these buttons again. So I’m going to lose enough weight that I can fit, close all these buttons. You got to wick that moisture, if you’re going to travel, you know, all right. Okay. Also guys, because it’s our first episode of the year, there may be a country that’s featured twice. Like, as an answer. We can’t do that. Yeah, we aren’t doing it. We’re moving ahead with it. Does that mean we’re running out of countries to choose from? No. Alright, shall we eat? This looks like soap shaped like a pig. It’s definitely very Cracker Barrel, you know what I mean? I mean, it doesn’t even smell like food. Ah, and it tastes like Play Doh. But I like Play Doh. Um. It’s salty. There’s a name for this. I’m sure Stevie will tell us in a second. Fondant? Yeah, that’s what it tastes, yeah. That’s what it tastes like. Mm hmm, did it surprise you that I knew something? Yeah, yeah. Why you got, don’t say that. New year, new you. Yeah, I know things this year. That’s right. Ha ha ha. It’s sweet, but it’s not too sweet. Who’s going first? That’s a good question that I’m currently thinking about the answer to. Rhett won, so Link goes, so Rhett goes, Link goes, Rhett goes first. I’ll go first. Okay, you won last time. Rhett goes first. Oh, also, Link, uh, you have a very special New Year’s Advantage for this game. So at any two points throughout the game, you can actually call a mystery celebrity guest to help you out. Okay. Two countries and a mystery celebrity guest. Twice. Alright. It’s crazy. And what did I say? Rhett’s going first? Sure, that’s what I said. Okay. Where are pigs dude, where aren’t pigs? I think there are pigs in every country that’s on there. Is there a country where there’s not pigs? Are there antarctican pigs? Uh, probably not. Uh, probably not. That might be the only place. I bet you somebody has snuck a pig down there. You wouldn’t believe the stuff that goes on down there in Antarctica. I told you about the ice wives, right? Yes, you told me about it. People have ice wives. You have somebody that is like your partner while you’re down there. We don’t condone it, but we understand it. And I betcha somebody’s got an ice pig. But Antarctica, alas, is not on the map. Yeah, why are you even talking about that? I don’t know. I’m talking about the only country I can’t see. Falkland Islands. Uh, Uh, I can see this happening in Germany because they love their sausages, and sausages can be made from any meats, but the best ones are made from pigs. And they love their cakes. Fondant. Alright, there’s a lot of countries there, so basically You’re just being safe. It borders France, which is probably where fondant comes from. They probably don’t pronounce it like I do. Fondant! Uh huh. Okay, a little high and to the right. Okay. It’s not a lot to go on here. Crap, crap, crap. Okay, so many countries right there to the west of your dart. So, I don’t know, I could see this being Pakistan. Why? I’ll keep that to myself. Meaning, I don’t have a reason. Uh huh. Ah, crap. Okay, so, I’m just gonna kinda play a little defense here. Mm hmm. Start the year off right. Here we go. Wah bam! Oh! A little north of what I wanted, but. You’re closer to every country than I am, pretty much. Yes, I’m feeling good. I think you’re good. You just had Marzipan Schwein. or little pigs made of marzipan. I wonder where schwein’s from. These almond based confections are shaped like pigs as a symbol of good luck for the new year. In fact, the phrase schweinhaben means to be really lucky in its home country of Germany. Ha ha! You got it right, but I think I got your goat. Yeah, right. Or your pig, so to speak. Where would you have thrown it without my reasoning, though? Pakistan? Maybe. Uh huh. Uh huh. Sorry, I’m trying to remember things more. Some logging my stuff as I go. Um, Rhett you had 11 and Link, you had eight. Hmm. Yes. I’ll take it. And I felt great about it, remembering that. Oh, he’s really, he’s really sticking to this journaling thing. We’ll see how it holds up. We got some puffy. And heavy. It’s filled with something. Heavy donut. Now don’t breathe in when you bite. You know what can happen with the powder. I’ve seen it happen to you before. Oh my god. Mine’s got some jelly in it. Mine’s got mustard in it. Is this a joke or an international thing? Stevie’s not saying anything. It’s not a joke. There’s nothing funny about it. So this is typical? It could be mustard? Mm hmm. It’s not bad. It’s just, um. I don’t trust you. It’s just not great. Bite all the way down. I am, oh, I did. I’m a man who operates with logic, and if one of the inputs is off, if one of the inputs is a joke, it throws my logic off, Stevie. Sorry. All right, I’m winning. I’m gonna go first. And I get two advantages. And, um, just because I’m winning, I’m not getting cocky this year. That’s right. I’m actually gonna double down. I would like to use my advantage. Okay, so here’s how it’s gonna work. One, you might wanna wipe your face off. Two, uh, Chase has just brought in the Dream GMM Guest Board. And what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna take your dart, you’re gonna throw it at the board, and under each one of those squares is a mystery celebrity guest. And they’re all waiting backstage, so as soon as you hit one, uh, that person will come out and help you out. Okay. This is also not a joke. The mustard’s not a joke. I’m sorry, I didn’t plant jokes. Oh, and the celebrities are not gonna be Lucas in a wig. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We understand. And it’s not gonna be the same under each of these, which is Lucas in a wig. No. All right, whatever. Okay, lower left. That’s the one I was aiming for. All right, let’s see, Chase, if you’ll remove the, uh, thing. Let’s see who we got. All right. Keith Urban. Alright, bring out Keith Urban. Yeah, bring him out. Woo! What are you eating? Hold on, that’s That’s not Lucas. That’s not Lucas. What the hell are you guys eating? That’s Keith Urban. Well, that’s a donut with mustard in it. That’s got mustard in it. But that’s got jelly in it. Is this, is this Is this my Dream GMM guest board or is this my wife’s? I don’t, what’s happening here? That’s right. Okay, uh, let me gather myself here. Do you need help? Keith Urban. Yes, and I need to I just need to chill out a little bit, Keith Urban. You’re checking on the mustard. Yeah, it’s the mustard that’s doing it for me. What’s going on down here, by the way? What’s been happening? Lots of age. What happened last night? Lots of age. Yeah, wipe this up. Um, so, I need you to tell me. Chase, let’s take a look at the map if we can. Yeah, let’s get our map. He actually came out. That was great. Um, now, Keith, you do know that Link once dressed up like you for his wife. No. Yeah, um I don’t even know if I want to hear this story. Well, it’s already started. Um let’s see, how do I put this? Um you understand the concept of a hall pass. Yeah. Yeah. Um, we’ll, uh, you, sir, are my wife’s hall pass, and, uh, I, and which explains why. I’m glad I’m not your hall pass. I was hoping you would clarify that. That’s good. Uh, but I didn’t think we’d ever meet, uh, so I wasn’t prepared for. Do you have photos of how you looked? Oh, I look great. Oh, yeah, we do. I’m trying, I’m trying to get those right now. Okay. In the meantime. That’s being worked on. I, I do need you to help me out here. Okay. Um, and look uglier and less attractive to my wife. No, eat this and tell me where it is from. Uh, okay. Get it? This one here? That one’s untouched. Oh, that’s good. That one’s got jelly in it. My God. Yeah, there’s no mustard in there. No. Okay, jelly filled, very heavy. Okay. Even Germany’s still on the board, but I don’t think, I don’t think they would go Germany two in a row. They could though. But they could. It’s too obvious for it to be Australia, right? Well. But. It may be. Well, you should know. Well, I, I mean, yeah, that could be America as well. I’m gonna go Australia. I know. It’s so screamingly obvious. Well, what it mean, but it might be, you’ve had one of these then. I mean, it’s just a jelly donut. It’s what I’m saying. I mean, but that’s not the mustard. No, the mustards thrown me. Okay. Forget that , your hand got so big when it was in front of my face. That was amazing. That’s, that’s how that works. That’s the chord making hand. Alright. Anybody ever told you that? Let me see your chord making hand. Here’s the picture. Oh, come on. Wait a minute. You’re on the left, right? Okay. Yeah, sorry. That’s awesome. Yeah. And after that I did start getting tattoos. Put some detailed tattoos as well. Yeah, look at that. I really, is that a real one? This is a real one. Now I’m really, I’ve really taken it up a notch to beat you. Alright. It’s wild. Alright. The man’s from Australia. That’s so funny. You see in Australia. I gotta go Australia. No, I, well, because the mustard’s not happening in Australia. That’s not an Australian thing. It’s definitely not Australia. Exactly. I’m gonna go, I’m thinking Finland? Hmm. The mustard’s so weird, though. I’ve never heard of mustard in a, like, donut before. It could’ve been a joke on me. It could’ve been. I’m gonna go Brazil. Yep, that’s what I was thinking. We’re like, we have a future together. We’re connecting. We got the tats. So that’s good. Yeah, yeah. Cool. Calm down, boys. All right. Brazil, it’s happening. And I might go a little bit. Oh, throw it better than your guest pass. That’s his guest. The middle of the Atlantic. Thank you, Keith. I was trying to help my guy. You did a lot, Keith. That’s it. Thanks, man. Thanks, Rhett. Wow, pulling out the stops on the premiere. I told you, no jokes. Is my wife here, by the way? Because it’s like, what’s the, What I want to know is who else is under those question marks. And where are they? Well, Link has, can use it twice. So, you might find out. Okay, so Link has guessed a ship crossing the Atlantic. Is the origin of these donuts. I’m still closer to Brazil than, Uh, maybe it’s Bermuda. But it’s not an option. Okay, uh I think I don’t know if the mustard’s a joke either. I can’t tell. So I’m going with the mustard’s not a joke, and if the mustard’s not a joke, I’m actually going Finland, because in that part of the world, they like to put a lot of different things on french fries, and I think that maybe it translates to donuts. That’s the weak logic that I am operating with. Oh gosh. Oh yeah, we’re both off today. I love it. Consistently high and to the right. I love that. You just had Pfannkuchen. Donuts that are typically filled with jelly, but around the new year, one or two in a batch might be filled with mustard and getting a mustard filled one is a sign of good luck for the coming year in Germany. Yeah, you could have and you did. Alright, 15 for Link and, uh, I don’t have my pen. Okay, well, 21 for Rhett. Ooh. Ha ha! Luck be a lady. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. New year, new merch. Hey, there will be new merch drops every day this week. Starting with our new daily routine hoodie and we got straight leg sweatpants to go with it. Straight leg sweatpants, that’s the thing now. Oh yeah. Mythical.com. Let your ankles breathe. Mythical.com. Ooh. How would you unravel that? You’d do it that way? So I kind of like the middle, but it’s like a it’s a pastry snake. Very buttery. Very flaky. There’s something hard in here. There’s prizes. Here is a foil wrapped coin. There’s something in my mouth. Mm. Do I unwrap this? I’m just gonna swallow? What are y’all trying to do to us? I bet it’s a New Year’s tradition to, like, To take us out? To have to, you know, to swallow coins. Ooh, okay. So I’ve got a coin. I’m not gonna show it to you, because it’s gonna give me a hint. Whoa. The cheese is goaty. This is like a, this is a little scroll. Oh, what else is in here? Oh! I’ve got a little scroll. Oh, I’ve got a scroll, too. Okay. What are y’all trying to protect us from? Very greasy. You will have a strong urge to kiss the person next to you. Come on. Do it. I dare you. Nope, nope, nope. It’s too early in the year for that and too early in the day to fool Link. Be slow to speak and quick to think. This one is for you, Link. Okay. Two for one for me. Again, I’m winning. I continue to do well. That means you’re up first. I’ve made a new friend. Still doing some exercises? Yeah, I think I kind of pulled something, so. Uh, that resolution might be done. Oh, okay, so no more squats. Flaky, a little bit cheesy, prizes inside. Something about it feels more, I don’t know, Bulgaria is calling me. Wow. Oh, you like that? Bulgaria was calling me. Because it’s like, it feels like a Bulgarian pastry. It could be Pakistan. Cause I feel like we’re in that kind of a vibe. So, I’m going to go, I’m gonna go for Bulgaria because he was upset about it. Yes, a little low at the Nile River Delta. Hmm. Yeah, cause it’s like, it’s a fun food. You know what I’m saying? It’s fun. It’s like, maybe, I think that things have been, I think Bulgaria may have traditionally been a, you know, a difficult place to be at times. Oh, this is like a gold coin. And you gotta mix things up. You gotta make your pastries interesting. You gotta write yourself little notes and give yourself money. Inside of, you know, fun, snaky pastries. Yeah, it is fun. And it was, something about the nature of the cheese feels like it comes from that part of the world. But, there’s no way I can get closer than you based on the way I’ve been drawing. So the question is, do I try to hit Bulgaria? Chances are, I’ll get, if it’s not Bulgaria, I’ll get accidentally closer to the answer that it is. So I’ll try to hit Bulgaria. Woo! Ooh, that’s not gonna do much for you when you’re losing. Mm hmm. You just had Banitsa. A flaky cheese pie which also contains small lucky charms like coins or fortunes for the upcoming year as a New Year tradition in Bulgaria. Ah! Dang. Yeah, that didn’t do much. Nope. That was a wash. I mean, we could just edit this whole thing out. We need, I do need a hand wash. All right, Link had five, Rhett had three. Ooh. Stack of grapes. This is just a stick with grapes on it. Yep. That’s all? Well, there’s a little bit more to it. I’m gonna lead you through a little process with it. A New Year’s, Oh, I can figure out how to A New Year’s process. Probably start with the top one. Well, why do it alone, or I mean, no offense. When I can do it with a celebrity. Right? That’s right. Okay, so you still have your second time. And just to make things a little bit more fun, because you’re wondering who else is on the board, we’ve gotten rid of all of the covers. So now you can see everybody that you can dart to. Yes, look at that. Every one of these people is here? Yep. Shaq is here and we haven’t seen him? It’s the season 27 premiere of Good Mythical Morning. I don’t think we could fit Shaq in the green room, no. It’s a relatively, Rihanna is here. Is there any bribes you wanna make for my throw? Just don’t hit the Rizzler. Okay. Um, all right. Well, um, I don’t know. There’s, there’s one other person that I feel like could actually be here. So should I just kind of make sense, right? Okay. All right. Whoops. I, I, something about my dart just didn’t resist. Yeah. It just couldn’t resist going there. Okay, you’ve landed on Keith Urban. Send everybody else home because I’ve made my pick. Okay, Keith, come on out. Okay, he’s back. He’s back. Send them home. Yeah, but sit down this time. Nick. Don’t worry, you can go home. Okay, cool. So close. Wow. Wow, he’s back. What do you got? I got a stick of grapes. Okay, yeah. And I thought we could experience this together. I’m gonna lead you through. We only have two sticks, so, Keith, you’re gonna have to share it with Link. But basically these are supposed to be eaten in rapid succession, uh, one for every twelve chimes of the clock on New Year’s Eve. Oh. So we’re gonna, we’re gonna simulate that. Is it like a chubby bunny situation, or are we trying to swallow these things? Uh, just be safe, please. In terms of sharing, I don’t know any guidance to give you on that. So you guys would just have to figure it out. You ready? Yep. Okay, here we go. How’d you do that? Are you a hot dog eating champ? I’m not gonna answer that. But you, you can say, I’m a big man. I’m a big man. I’m a big man. Okay. You still going? I’m good. Okay. Alright. Okay, so the grapes are eaten. I’m glad there’s no coins in there. Yeah, for real. The grapes are eaten on the chimes, which, by the way, that was quicker than a second. Yeah, it was. You wanna, you want to do the honors? What am I doing? Oh, I’m guessing here. Also, it’s a mystery round. So it’s not, the country’s not labeled. Oh, okay. So it will probably not, it will not be a golden area. But grapes are in a lot of places, so it’s really more the tradition of this thing, right? Yep. It’s a place where it’s highly valued to eat grapes quickly. Yeah. So where, where are grapes? I think it might be a place where grapes are scarce. You’re thinking Egypt? Isn’t that weird? Well, but because it’s a mystery round, it shouldn’t be any of the gold ones. Right. It’s definitively not. Trust me. But I think you should go for Egypt. I’ve fallen for that before. You know, it could be, um, it could be wine country. Yeah. Have we heard of, I’ve never been to Napa. Wanna go? My wife is not invited. I don’t think they’re doing this in Napa. Yeah, on New Year’s Eve. We would’ve heard about that. I think so. Um, man, what do you think? I am thinking, I mean, we gotta be in a, in a temperate region. Yeah. So we gotta, we gotta be some, we gotta be somewhere in here. We gotta be, we gotta be on this. Okay. Is this latitude, ? Yeah. I think you’re the equator. So like you’re going across the kinda, you’re just a bit north of that. And I think, so you toss, Hold your hand there for a second. You stopping? Yeah. Do it. Do it. Pin my hand to the map. Little payback. Trust me. I do deserve it. Yeah. Um, man, I can’t even narrow this down right now. Now I, I think, I think we go to, um. I think we go to, like, around Germany. Just south of Germany. Just a third time’s a charm. We gotta go, we gotta go around there. Like Spain, Spain level. Okay. They got grapes in Spain? Yeah. You’ve been all over the world. Yeah, I know they have grapes everywhere. I think it’s good central to the map. Okay. It’s my lead to lose. Okay. But I win all the time. I’ll head towards Bulgaria and see what happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s the spirit. Oh! He pulled it! I like that! Hey, hold on, hey, hold on. It might be a great answer. I mean, this could be somewhere in Central America. See, I like the way you think. I’m starting to feel like you’re not only sabotaging my game, but my marriage. Oh, don’t worry, your wife doesn’t watch the show. Uh, but you know what? She will watch this episode. Ha ha ha ha ha! So, here’s the thing. If she sees you lose, I think it’s, I don’t think she cares who wins or loses this game. I think she wins. Yeah. Regardless. The thing you guys failed to take into consideration, this is not just a place that has grapes, it’s a place that has sticks. Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! The overlooked stick. Okay, let’s slide back. I actually think the way, the way that you were talking was good. Like this is like Italy, France, Spain, Italy’s a good guess European country, where they have a lot of grapes. So I’m just aiming at Italy and seeing what happens and ending it. Oh, okay. Not that close. You just had Las Doce Uvas de la Suerte, which translates to 12 lucky grapes, eating 12 grapes as the clock strikes midnight symbolizes prosperity. And each of the 12 months of the new year, according to this tradition that originated in. Spain. Oh! It sounded like you were gonna win! I thought we were gonna make it! I thought we were gonna do it! But the reason they speak Spanish in Central and South America is because of Spain! For real. Hey, it’s alright. I love how you keep staring at it like it’s just Like it’s gonna change. Hey, trust me. I know the feeling. Yeah. We’re in this together. It’s not gonna change. It’s okay. I care so much. Yeah. Thank you for that. Alright. Rhett, you had 13. Keith, you had 22. Okay, I’ll take that. Ooh, that was, hey. Ooh, that was so close. So close. Rhett, you pulled off the win. I just pulled it out. Which means, Link, we will be wishing you flappy New Ears in Good Mythical More. Oh, that’s gonna be fun. Okay. It was so close! Keith. Hey, thanks for coming in. My pleasure. Thanks for your help.
