GMM 2816: Blindfold Taste Test Challenge

Can we taste with our eyes again? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. After more than 2,800 episodes of this show. Woo. It’s safe to say that we’ve tasted a lot of things. Yeah, we have. Uh, especially with our mouths. So. It was only the next logical move that we had to start tasting things with our eyes. Specifically eating stuff blindfolded, and then seeing if we can identify what we just ate just by sight. Mm-hmm. It is time for I Spy With My Little Eye: A Food That’s Already Been Inside Me, Again. As you can see, we cannot. Okay boys, we’re gonna feed you a bite of fried mozzarella and then you’ll remove your blindfolds and figure out which of the four plates in front of you you just ate from, using only your eyes, no touching, no tasting, no smelling. Okay, feeders. What can be different about– Please give them that bite. — Mozzarella. Well, Hmm. Mine was kind of a flattened, exploded mozzarella. Hmm. Taste good though. It was quite tasty. Now I did burn the center of my tongue last night. On some hot tea that I thought was cold sake, the center of the top of the tongue. At first I thought you meant like the center of the mass of your tongue, and I was like, did he stick his tongue in a microwave again? I burnt the center of mass of my tongue where it balances inside of my mouth. What? Mm-hmm. Okay. Um. I’m taking my blindfold off now. I’m taking my blindfold off now. Yes. You may each look at the mozzarella’s. Oh. And you’re playing against each other. So uh, you know. Well, I already gave you what I thought was a hint. Yeah. Shouldn’t have done that. Put your flags. Wow. These are all so different. Where you think you ate from. It’s like a dangum patty. 3, 2, 1. Did you know it was a patty? It. Okay, here’s what I’m gonna say. It could, I thought that it was, it was flat. It could be, it could be that one though. But it also had like a, um, there’s herbs. I tasted tangy herbs. And look, there’s lots of herbs in that. So this feels like a, but there’s also herbs in this. This is a whole cheese patty. I, that’s what I’m, I don’t understand. You are both. Correct. Yes. Um, that is a homemade mozzarella patty. And now that you have identified that bite, we can, we’re gonna eat more of it. Yeah. Nicole. Nicole, you homemade it. Colby made it. I just, I’m just here to talk to you guys. So Colby flattened it? He flattened it and then he fried it with a bunch of herbs and spices like you said. Yeah. Well. It might be the best. It’s very good. I can’t imagine it being better. Okay, well, we’ll explore the rest. The next one is just a regular homemade mozzarella stick. What? It’s also homemade. Yeah, but it’s not a patty. Correct. And it doesn’t have a bunch of herbs in it. Yeah. Still observant. Not as good. But still good. I think it’s the herbs that are missing. Um, then we have frozen store-bought mozzarella sticks. Is this one gonna be sad or happy? A little sad. Oh, way different. I actually thought it was gonna be good, but compared to how good those are. Not good. Not good. Then we have homemade smoked mozzarella sticks. Smoked! Panko breading. What? Woo. Good lord. That’s smoky. It’s smoky to the smell. More than to the taste. It’s almost like it’s been dipped in barbecue sauce. These are, these are good, but, oh gosh. I just dripped. I dripped on your side of the desk and I’m sorry. Gross. Whenever I do that, I feel bad. This one is hands down the best. Colby! You gotta make a whole cheese patty, if you gonna make us happy. Okay. It’s chicken soup now, so watch your tongue. Let’s bring it in. Okay. Okay. Alright. I don’t wanna burn it again. Oh God. Oh, oh God. That’s a, oh mm. I got it. Okay. Okay. All right. I made an observation. Blindfold coming up, well, I guess I need to eat it all first. I don’t trust you not to spit it back out into your hands and look at it. Very chunky. Very chunky. What is happening. There was an interesting flavor in there. Look at how yeller this one is. Good gracious. Why is that so yeller? Why is that black? And why is this one pink? And this one is like orange? Colors. What is wrong with all of these chicken noodle soups? So many colors. I guess they were all prepared in different ways. Okay, ready to guess. Uh, three. Two, one. I am taking the lead today. I’m feeling very confident with those monstrously large chunks of celery. Can’t, you can’t put that past me. The chicken soup have some too. You tasted. Nope. It’s from bowl number three. Yeah. And it’s like a curried. It’s a jarred bouillon. It’s, that’s what it’s made with. So that’s the starting, starting base. Can I say that, Nicole? Is that something that seems right? The starting base or? Absolutely. I think starting with base is great. Jarred bouillon. Have you ever seen those better than bouillon jars? It’s like a really concentrated. It’s not in a cube, it’s in a, we did not use the cube version. We used the jarred version. Yeah. Why is it so yellow? You know, they’re, they’re naturally incredibly yellow for some reason. I think they might have a little bit of like, turmeric in there. Maybe last night when you burned the middle of your tongue. Yeah. With sake. Or tea. Tea. Maybe you, you supercharged it. Like when Spider-Man got bit. I mean, what maybe I did, I mean, two in a row. Maybe that was the part that it was tasting the wrong thing and now that I killed it, everything else is working. So the one that you picked Rhett, that is just regular chicken noodle soup, but the, uh, chicken is obviously a silk Blacky chicken. Silky chicken. Yeah. What is that? Black. What’s black silky chicken? It’s, it’s a type of chicken. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen those chicken. We’ve done this show 2,800 episodes of this show. We’ve had silky chicken at least 12 times. Correct. Is that a type of bird? It’s a black chicken. You not seen it? So the blackness gets all the way on the meat. The skin is black. You’ve seen this before? Yes. But the meat is, is white. Did you burn part of your brain with hot sake? Yeah, that’s where I kept the, the, the chicken. The chicken memories. The silky chicken. Link stores memories in his tongue. I don’t remember that. Uh, Link. Will you be tasting the soups? Come on. Taste that. I, I need to taste this silky chicken. It just tastes like chicken. It just tastes like chicken. Don’t be afraid of it. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t like it. So then the next one is, uh, just regular homemade chicken soup. I don’t like what you said to me really about it. Does it? What is it? What’s wrong with it? I don’t know. No flavor. You tell, tell Nicole what’s wrong with it. There’s no salt. What’s the problem, Bob? Um, there’s no salt. Mm-hmm. There’s no, it’s a little bland. Oh, I’m so sorry. Back to the lab with that one. So you just made bad chicken noodle soups. Because this one was good. Um, bad is subjective. I thinks it’s a, we’ve had this one already. Un, unseasoned. I’m tasting one with that again. Bland. Yeah, little bland. But that’s all it is. You, it is blanded. Maybe it’s not, maybe it’s not that salted. Oh, wow. Yeah. It’s not salted. And the, it’s so obviously, um, that it got the turmeric taste in it now. Yeah. Now that it also has, like, I can see it tons of MSG and stuff like that too. So it’s really intense chicken flavor. And then that one’s with powdered stock. And it made it turn orangeish pink. Yeah, there was a little bit of tomato powder in the stock powder as well. I like that one. It’s good. Yeah. Yeah. That one tastes, that’s my favorite tasting one. That’s the best one. So a little bit of tomato in there. Alright. Alright. Now, I don’t want you to forget this. Remember this next time we have it, store it right there in your tongue. Look at black, black, silky. Look at, look at it in your tongue. Store it in your tongue. Got it? Can you see where I burnt my tongue? Take a further. Right there. Uhuh. Further back? Further forward. Right there. Yeah, right here. What’s it look like? Yeah. You might need to go to the doctor. It looks dead. Yeah. I think you killed some cells. Moving on to sour cream and onion chips. Yes. Okay. Okay. Let’s do a little Tasty tasty. Mm-hmm. Uhhuh. I don’t know what was gonna be before us, but I think I know what I’ve eaten. What brand that is? What I’ve eaten. Well, it’s not the brand. It’s more of like the prep. You ready? Yeah. Okay. What have they done here? Okay, well, so these ones, hmm. They all kind of look. Very sameish. This one’s got more chive on it, but there was a little something that I tasted that I think is gonna set it apart. Flags behind the one you tasted in… Oh gosh. This is gonna, this is gonna be a tough one. One. Oh really? I actually thought it, I was choosing between one. I was one and two, because they seem too big. Yeah, but they, they gave us a smaller piece, I’m sure. Well, all the ones that you were choosing from were incorrect because you ate outta the third bowl. That’s the chip that you had. And so what chip is this? Um, that is from a brand called Better Made. I think we have a bag of those better made chips. It’s good, it’s strong. It, it’s, it’s not you, you think it’s Anyy Strong? It’s very salty. On the second one. It’s like salty, strong. Okay. What’s this one? So those are Uncle Ray’s. Those are ultra thin, but they’re missing some of the punch. Doesn’t have as much punch. I still like those better than the the, I’m looking for more onion punch what we got here. Those are from Walmart. Great value. A lot of flavor here. The most onion flavor so far are these. So I’m saying the great value is the best that I’ve tasted and taste the last one before I tell you what the brand is. Just so you. Okay. Almost sweet. Oh, you got one? Yeah. Alright. I got it a long time ago. I’ve been holding onto it. Those are Kroger. They’re good. Those the only ones. Oniony are the first ones. I’m coming back to these. They kinda have a powder on them. Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. There’s something, the coating is a little bit strange. These are the best great value. Hmm. My favorite are Kroger. Okay. I like the almost cuddly nature of the, the Fry. They’re both good though. Two powdery, going with the value. Quick reminder. Today is the last day to score this amazing, proud, mythical beast tee. Put those sleeves out. Show, show it to ’em, Rhett. They’re out. Isn’t that nice? Isn’t that nice? Uh, 100% of the profits go to Benefit Outright International, which is a great cause. It’s very comfy and it’s a good, it’s a good looking shirt. So go to mythical.com and snatch that thing up today. Do it. Last day. We are ending with, uh, chocolate chip cookies. Oh, they do have the chocolate chips in them. Link, I am sorry. Oh. Oh. And before, are you eating it already? Nope. Good. ’cause I was gonna make it. You can’t win. Thank you. Given the way this is, this has worked. Yep. The only way you can win is if you place your flag now and you’re right. Without tasting. Okay. Or seeing. So go ahead and plant a flag. It’s just a complete shot in the dark for you. All right. It sounds like you’ve done that. I have. Now let’s, let’s taste, yeah. Hmm. What is it? A cookie. That is a soft cookie. Mm-hmm. Was that a tiny cookie or a piece of a cookie? It’s a bite. Hmm. Because it felt perfectly round in my mouth. Oh, yeah. It felt perfectly round in my mouth too. Okay. Well, it wasn’t, I don’t feel good about my guess. Why are you looking at it? Yeah. Oh, well, you could have told me. What. So what did y’all, y’all made a smaller, perfectly round thing to put in our mouths. I used a cookie cutter to cut out a cookie shaped cookie. That can’t be done, Nicole. No, Nicole. I did it. I did it. Uhuh. That can’t be done. You can’t prove that. That’s not how cookie cutters work. Well, it is now Link get used to it. It’s 2025. Oh, gosh. So now they’re co, they’re cookie cutting cookies. Yeah, they’re cooking, Cutty cooking cut. They’re cook, cooker. You are cookie cutting cookies to make them cookie or no, ish. You cut cookies that were already cooking with a cookie cutter. What you should have done was you should have cut dough with a cookie cutter to make cookies. I’m just, I, I think you’ve obfuscated, um, um, the process. I have a different guess, but I’m not switching. Oh, I should guess I’m not switching. It was super soft. I think it’s gotta be this one. Oh really? It was tall. It was soft. What do you think it was, Rhett? I thought it was this one. You thought it was tall and soft? Yeah, tall and soft and round thing. Can I switch? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can’t. If you do, you can’t win. I can tie. Nope. Yep. I’m going for it though. The cookie that you just ate is on plate number one. Yeah. I mean, like obviously right? Well, no. Well, I mean, when I saw it I was like, this is definitely what I ate. It’s not what I, it’s not what I ate. Did he eat it? It is a, uh, brown butter chocolate chip cookie. And it is good. It’s so good. Does that make it not get. As thick or crunchy when you use brown butter? So the way we did it is we, um, didn’t allow the butter to cool. We added it in with the like cream and the sugar. Mm-hmm. So it does get in the way of the rise a little bit, but nothing too dramatic. Okay. This next one is a chopped chocolate cookie. Good flavor, but. The consistency of that first one is just too good. Yep. Look at how tanky this one is. You picked Link is e is a, uh, soft and fluffy version of a chocolate chip cookie. ’cause I thought I was eating soft and fluffy, but I was eating flat and mushy. Flat and gooey is what I was, is what I tasted. Um, I don’t like this one. What’s wrong with it? There’s a combination of baking powder, um, corn starch and baking soda. Cakey cookies are just not my thing. You don’t wanna be, you don’t wanna be that, that person. Now these are a bit cooked. These are made with whole wheat flour. Yeah, they are. I can barely break it. Oh. Some pe–, do people like burnt cookies? Does that happen to people? Crispy ones? Yeah. Um, it’s so weird. This is just so special. This first one. Okay. Well, I mean, there was a version in which you tied, but because that happened, uh, you lost Rhett. Mm-hmm. So that means that you have to eat the mythical kitchen punishment in Good Mythical More.
