And it takes a lot to get through that shell. I have not. Thank you. I have not tasted it. I, you know what? I haven’t tasted it either, surprisingly. I’ve seen it and I’ve seen it like in like a gelato shop. They had a Dubai flavor and I was like, well, I hadn’t tried it for real yet. You gotta try the real thing. So this is… Oh, look inside of there. Milk chocolate filled with pistachio and kataifi, which is like a shredded phyllo dough. Yes. So, it sounds like it’s going to be good. There’s so much of it inside. Mmm. Oh, so, the dough gives a little bit of a… Nice crunch. Crunch. I love pistachios. As a peanut butter boy, I just like nuts in my chocolate. Well, pistachios are peanut butter adjacent, ’cause they’re also nuts. They’re upper echelon, which explains why we were willing to pay $40 for this bonafide version. Okay. Mmm. How about we do what we Dubai best, and push this trend to the limit. It’s time for “Don’t Dubai If I Do, Making Dubai Chocolate Everything!” Okay, boys, today you’re gonna be tasting Dubai Chocolate creations dreamed up by the Mythical Kitcheneers and deciding whether each creation is a Dubai or a don’t buy. Oh. So, go ahead and uncloche your first dish. What do we have here? Wow. This is a Dubai Chocolate Crunchwrap Supreme. Nicole. Oh my goodness. Yes. What have you been up to? Well, we had a little bit of fun in the Mythical Kitchen with this one. You have a Crunchwrap Supreme with Taco Bell seasoned beef, a tortilla, pistachio nacho cheese, kataifi tostada in the middle instead of your classic, you know, what is that thing called? A tostada. Yep. Lettuce, tomato, some pistachio sour cream, and chocolate fire sauce all over the top. We would normally just pick this up and bite it, but I kind of wanna see a cross section. You wanna cross section it? Oh, you wanna see a cross section? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay, let’s see it. If that means clock wipe, that’s cool. Go absolutely nuts. Yes, we’re here. Oh, wow. On the other side of the clock wipe. And it is ooey gooey. And what’s that red stuff in there? I think it’s tomatoes. Come on. Come on, Link. Mistake. Live a little. And we know that chocolate covers a world of hurt. We’ve established that principle here, so I think it covers a world of tomatoes as well. Okay, I’ll try it. I’m gonna. Oh wow. Meaty. Spicy. The chocolate beef. Yeah? Is actually really nice. Not bad at all. You know how you put chocolate in chili sometimes and mix it up a little bit. I do. I put a little bit of cocoa powder in my chili actually. So, the phyllo dough technique. Mm hm? Is this something you can just buy or do you have to do it, you have to chop it? So you can buy pre-shredded kataifi. We toasted it in this application. We toasted it and fried it into that round tostada shape. But it is shreds. And look at how much of it there is in there. I mean, it’s like angel hairs. Well, the unfortunate thing is is that there’s no longer a Taco Bell in Dubai. They opened Taco Bell in Dubai in 2008 and it flopped. All locations have been closed since 2012. Since when does Taco Bell flop? I guess in Dubai. I haven’t been to Dubai, but I’ve seen pictures. It’s expensive. It seems pretty fancy. Maybe Taco Bell is just maybe not striking the right chord. How many Del Tacos? Yeah. I didn’t hear what you said, but I think it was funny. How many Del Tacos? Oh, Del Tacos, yep. This is so good, Nicole. Oh, thanks. I am, it went against my expectations. You just had tomatoes and enjoyed it. Well, I dodged ’em a little bit and yeah, it, the spice kind of covered it up and the chocolate, so. Okay. So this one’s easy. Dubai. And this is… Dubai Chocolate Bang Bang Shrimp. Yes, please. Something you didn’t know you needed. Chocolate and bang bang. What makes it bang bang? So, the sauce is bang bang. Okay. But the sauce in this one has pistachio, rice wine vinegar, sriracha mayonnaise, and then we wrapped it in that kataifi dough, the shrimp, we wrapped it in kataifi dough, deep fried it. We marinated the shrimp in chocolate overnight. And then it’s topped with a little bit of pistachio shards, cocoa, and sugar. Well, this is kind of a big moment for us because ever since our vasectomies, we don’t make the bang bang sauce anymore. Well, hold on, I still make a- We don’t, it’s sauce, but it’s not bang bang. Oh yeah. Then what can I call it? I think it’s just sauce. Ding ding sauce. Womp womp sauce. That’s what I make. Womp womp sauce. We make womp womp sauce. Womp womp sauce. Look at how dark from the chocolate this marinated shrimp is peeking out on me. How many of these did you taste and try and iterate? Well- Is it just like you had a good idea and boom, you just made it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, okay. It’s impressive. I’m going in. I can see maybe where you inspired to do this because of coconut shrimp. Yes, very astute. I like when you know things. Mmm. It’s good for me. It’s good for me. Mmm. This is so much better than coconut shrimp because I don’t like that, the coconut hairs. Whatever those are called. Coconut haters? Coconut hairs. Oh. The coconut. Shredded coconut. Shredded coconut stuff. Yeah, yeah. Wow. I hate that, but I like this ’cause it’s just dope. I do like a coconut shrimp, but… Good gracious. This is incredible, Nicole. Heck yeah, man. Like I thought that the chocolate shrimp was gonna be a no-no. I know. I didn’t think I was gonna like that. When I tasted at the chocolate bar at the beginning, I was like, wow, this is great. And then I’m like, hold on. Now this is gonna be ruined with all the stuff that they’re gonna make us eat. Sorry. It’s okay. Well, we don’t know where this is going, but so far, this is super solid. And this would work in Dubai. I don’t know anything, but. So, it’s not a womp womp? No. This is a bang bang. This is a bang bang. And it, I think this needs to go in the Mythical cookbook. Can we add an addendum? I think it’s that good. Okay, I don’t, we’ll have to look into that. An appendix? What do you call it when you update a book? The updated edition. The updated edition. Dubai! This exclusive cockatrice pillow plush is available for Mythical Society members only. It so, so soft. It’s so soft. But time is running out. You gotta join 3rd Degree Quarterly or Annual by September 30th to get this, okay. It’s free with that 3rd Degree membership. mythicalsociety.com. This is Dubai Chocolate Dalgona Coffee. Dalgona, you did it again. Nicole, remind me what Dalgona coffee is. So do you remember during the panini when everyone was really like depressed and they were on their phones a lot and they were on TikTok a lot and they were like whipping up coffee so they could feel something and it was kind of like return to normalcy and, but they didn’t and like, they just were caffeinated and sad? Yes. That’s Dalgona coffee. Wow. Okay, I’m excited. Nothing, you know, nothing excites me more than something that takes me back to 2020. So the foam, what? So it’s instant- The foam is normally before you’ve done the thing to update it? The foam is just normally super coffee foam? Yeah, so it’s like instant coffee that you mix with sugar and hot water and you vigorously mix it with a whisk and it puffs up in that way. But we added some chocolate and some pistachio to it. Oh. It’s served with a sweetened pistachio milk. There’s a kataifi and chocolate rim. And I highly encourage you guys to- Bite the rim? Yeah, bite the rim. And enjoy. Nibble nibble. Okay, well I’m gonna sip the straw first. So, eating just the foam, that explains why it tastes like instant coffee. Right, ’cause it is instant coffee. Oh. Which is not good coffee? I like instant coffee. If you think of it as something different than coffee. Take take a sip and tell me what that reminds you of. The kataifi has done something with the coffee and the milk. It’s like you’ve been eating a certain cereal. Yes. You’ve been eating Frosted Mini Wheats. Yes. And they shred and they’re in the bottom. Yes. And there’s nothing like Frosted Mini Wheats milk. Yes! I mean. Did you know that, Nicole, that you were doing that? Yeah, obviously. Talk to me while I bite the rim. Well, yeah, of course I know what you like, Link. It’s all about you. I feel like I’m gonna hurt myself. Keep talking. A little bit. Keep talking, Nicole. And it’s all about making Rhett and Link happy and then sometimes making you guys sad. But also, it’s funny for us, and it’s entertaining for the masses. All in the name of entertainment. It’s hard to get that chocolate off the rim. I think it needs to be a melting kind of a thing. Woo! Or you bring a knife. Mmm. Uhn. Dang, Rhett. I’m gonna take my knife. You nailed it, son. I’m gonna take my knife into the coffee shop. It’s like a freaking nutty aftermath of Frosted Mini Wheat treat. Good gosh. I’m so happy for you. Good gosh, Nicole, you’re, you’re, you’re in demand. You’re making other people and making all this food. It’s like you’re baking a person in your body. Yeah. And then you’re making stuff on the outside of your body, too, for us. What can I say, women contain multitudes. Yes, they do. It’s crazy how you’re able to do that. That’s multitasking. Three in a row. Dubai! This is Dubai Chocolate Sushi. This is where it takes a turn. You don’t know that. Nicole. Hey. Tell us about this. So this is your standard Philly roll, guys. I’m just kidding. There’s some other stuff in there. So, it’s salmon, there’s cucumber, a pistachio scented cream cheese. We made a crispy kataifi tempura flake, smothered it in chocolate unagi sauce with some pistachio wasabi on the side and a little pistachio right on the top. I’m trying to get as much of the chocolate as possible. And this is still the seaweed? Oh yeah, there’s nori. Yeah, there’s nori, there’s seasoned rice. Yeah, I would’ve liked the soy paper. Get you a little pistachio wasabi. Yeah, put a little pistachio wasabi on there. Okay. A little. Okay. Let’s go. I can eat sushi if I’m like really hungry. Like hangry. Are you that right now? But I’m already full and happy from the other rounds. I believe in you. Well. Not coming together. It’s not really working for me either, Link. Uh-uh. I’m glad to hear it’s not working for you. Hey, the chef is watching, so you gotta, you gotta look happy and get it down. Let me tell you a secret. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What? You don’t know what I’m doing. I’m just gonna lean in and tell you a secret. No, no, no. You don’t tell a secret to me. I need to tell you secret. I know all your secrets. I need to tell you a secret. I know all your secrets. The chef- I need to tell you a secret. The chef- Why are you fighting? The chef is watching. The chef is watching. What is going on? The chef is watching. Oh. I was like, what’s the problem? Don’t worry, he’s just telling me a secret. Okay. All right. How much I loved it. That was so funny. The secret’s out. We loved it. We loved it. Even he loved it. Even I loved it. That’s, that’s… Nicole, that was awful. Okay. But I don’t think it was your fault. Okay, whose fault was it? The nation of Dubai. I think that, I think that chocolate and raw fish. Okay. Just doesn’t- Yeah. I just don’t think that those two things. Even saying it. I don’t think those two things can happen together or should happen together. Therefore. Don’tbai. This is Dubai Chocolate Haggis. Oh. Ah, from my, I was thought it was my homeland. Okay, did you actually make haggis? Yes, we made haggis from scratch. We used lamb liver, lamb heart, tons of oatmeal, lots of warm spices. We added pistachio cream, kataifi shreds. And then instead of intestine, my intestine guy was out of town. Oh yeah. We decided to just dip it in chocolate and then top it with some… Your intestine guy was out of town? Yeah, I don’t know. I think he’s traveling, I don’t know. Intestines pay well. That’s what I’m saying. That’s what I’m saying. He deserves a day off or two. And then we talked- Is he a large intestine guy or is he small? All encompassing. Do you meet this guy on the tarmac at LAX like we used to? No. Okay. I can’t disclose his location. Because, you know, in the early days, you know. I know. Before Nicole. I know all about that guy. The tarmac guy. Yeah. We don’t deal with tarmac guy anymore. Just intestine guy. Yeah, right. It’s the tariffs. Yeah. But you replaced that just with chocolate. $40 chocolate bar. And then there’s some kataifi shreds and some pistachio dust on top. Now, I will say when I, I’ve had haggis on the show before. I think we had it in a cookie or whatever. When I had it in Scotland, I was like very surprised at how digestible it was. Yeah. Ingestible it was. They like, care over there. Over there? I was like, this is, I hate everything in this, but I don’t mind it when it comes together. So, I feel like the fact that you made it, the fact that you didn’t have your intestine guy in town, and the fact that it’s covered in chocolate, Link, I think we got a great chance of loving this. Oh, and it’s cold. Sorry, I forgot to say it’s like ice cold. Like freezing ice cold. It’s supposed to be? Mm. It was a creative choice. I’ve showered so many compliments on you. Okay, gimme more. I was gonna ask you why you having showered was relevant, but then you finished the sentence. I showered this morning. I showered for this! I mean, it looks pretty. Awesome. Okay. Link it. And sink it. The chocolate helps. The spices help, too. I’m Irish. I’m Irish, too. A little bit. The spices have a Christmas, a Christmas side. Yeah. It’s like Christmas, a Christmas to them. It’s like Christmas vomit coming out my nose. Don’t say that. When I breathe out my nose. Don’t say it. I am gonna get it down though. ‘Cause I don’t wanna have to tell you another secret. Yep. There’s one too many. Hmm. Please don’t do that. Please don’t make a bubble noise with your… Okay, got it. With your mouth. I got it. Think we got it down. Ugh. No, it’s not that bad. The chocolate part’s great. It’s a nightmare. It’s all the insides of the sheep part mixed with oatmeal that is not my favorite. Ish, ish, ish. Nicole. Yeah? I’ve been thinking about what I’m gonna do after I die. Okay. I just been thinking about mortality lately. Morbid. And having tasted this and knowing that I once thought I was Scottish, if you would be so willing to take my insides after I die and chop them up, mix them with oatmeal, and put them into a nice intestine, if your intestine guy’s back in town, or you could use mine, I guess. And… Wrap it up. Have my family and friends eat it. I don’t even wanna think about the legal ramifications of that. No, if I consent. Yeah. And you consent, it’s okay. Is it? Yeah, in California. Okay, Slack me about it later. Okay. Yeah, yeah, we’ll chat. We’ll chat. Don’tbai. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is.
