GMM 2941: What’s Better Than Ketchup On French Fries?

What’s better than fries with ketchup? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We’re about to find out if french fries have a secret amazing dipping partner that nobody knows about yet. But first, we need to decorate our set for the holidays like we do every year. Yeah, and since this portion of today’s episode is sponsored by the Toyota bZ. Toyota is letting us use one of their all electric 2026 bZ Limited all-wheel drive SUVs to hit the road and gather all the decorations we need to pull this off. All right, let’s stay focused. We gotta get all the decorations we need for the set today. When am I not focused? I’m thinking since you got this electric ride. Why don’t we make everything electric, including all of our holiday decor? Very festive and all wheel drive models come with a gift of 338 horsepower wrapped in a tasteful bow of exhilarating torque. And good news, the Toyota bZ has all this intuitive technology that’s available, like panoramic view monitor and dynamic radar cruise control. I guess you do need all the extra intuition you can get. I’m gonna go get our passengers. Introducing our guests of honor. Perfect. One light up snowman. One light up snow boy, he’s not a boy. He’s just not as big as the other man. Now I’m thinking we need a bunch of stars. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Oh, all right, my turn. I’ve got an idea for a truly electric decoration that’s gonna really put a jolt in us. Normally, I wouldn’t trust you, but this bZ has got an EPA estimated 278 mile range with versatile charging capability, and other models are available with up to 314 miles of range. So we can get everything on our list, plus some. Pull over here. Turns out the bZ has a full on outlet in the back so you can power all your stuff. I guess one drive really can change your mind. Latte? Maybe later. Last thing, if we’re making this set electric, we’re gonna need some serious lights. Those are snow boy lights. These are snowman lights. We should run errands more often. We did it. Yes, we did. Check out the all electric 2026 Toyota bZ and thanks again to the Toyota bZ for sponsoring this portion of today’s episode. Okay. You got your big button Link? I got my big button buddy. Gimme a countdown. 10. From 3. 3, 2, 1. Yeah. Look at all these lights. I mean, it’s wonderful. It’s amazing how big light. Get me into the festivities. Yes, they do. And little snowmen. That’s a snow boy. Nope. That’s a snow boy. Two snowmen. Alright, fries and Ketchup have been the classic pairing since time. Eternal. Mm-hmm. But what if the world ran outta ketchup? Will we be prepared with an option that’s just as good, or perhaps even better? It’s time for next best thing, fries and ketchup edition. Before we begin our journey, let’s remember. What the original tastes like, and listen, as we’re doing that, I just want to address those of you who have pointed out the many times that we have done this type of episode. It’s good. Gimme a second that we don’t. Try the obvious things. Ranch mayonnaise, fried dipping sauce, et cetera, barbecue sauce, whatever. Yeah. That’s because those already exist in the world. You know about those. This show is all about discovery. Okay. We are pioneers crossing the distant. Waters to find a new thing for you to dip your little fry in. Yeah. I think it’s really our fault though because we’re calling this next best thing and I think maybe we should have called it next Best thing you don’t know about. Weird alternate thing that you didn’t think would work. Too late for that, but. Look at that. Mm-hmm. This is pretty great. You got the acidity and tang of the redness and then you’ve got the crunch and the saltiness of the yellowness. You forgot about the sweetness of the tomato. Don’t say tomato. Also brings it into, don’t bring that into this. It is, it’s, it’s sweet. That’s one of the things that makes it great. Fine. Salt and, and sweety. I’ll left that for you. I’m sure we’ll find something better and unexpected. Okay, boys. Our first ketchup alternative is butterscotch pudding. I see that now you’re a pudding man. Yes. You’re not really a butterscotch man though. No, no, no, no, no, no. But don’t, are you not a butterscotch candy man or are you not a butterscotch flavor man? I’m an anti butterscotch flavor man. And is it the butter or the scotch you have a problem with? I think it’s the scotch. I’m a, I’m a peanut butter vanilla. And if they have a weird peanut butter version, but maybe it’s the fries. What did you say? Did I say peanut butter, vanilla, chocolate. You said peanut butter twice, but I feel as if it’s appropriate for you. So, chocolate. Chocolate or vanilla. But I was already thinking about peanut butter when I said chocolate, so I didn’t say, my brain said chocolate, but anyway, this is what I’m eating. It’s not bad. Butterscotch is not bad. It is pretty powerful though. I, I think it’s the fries that are really making it for me. Salted butterscotch potato. I don’t know. I like butterscotch and I feel like butterscotch is maybe too heavy of a lifter. This is the best butter sausage experience I’ve ever had. I think fries are unlocking it for me, and I think it deserves to go on the podium. Yeah, I think it has to go on the podium. Well, I just think it deserves to go. I don’t think there’s any way this is gonna win, but I do agree. I’m glad that it’s there. It has to go on the podium. ’cause it did something to me. To block the snowman’s face so we can’t see him. Up next is miso paste. I’ll tell you, I don’t know what it says about my brain, maybe the time that I grew up, but I cannot hear the word miso without thinking about the two life cruise song Miso Horny. Yeah, you really can’t. Anybody, anybody a fan of Miso horny? Don’t say, don’t say miso. Miso doesn’t, doesn’t exist without horny. You know, for us. Y’all don’t know about miso horny? You are receiving boos. We’re receiving boos. Yeah. I don’t know. People don’t, don’t like. Well, you clearly haven’t heard the song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you would be a big fan if you could hear it. You know, somewhere in the alternate universe where YouTube is, doesn’t care about copyright. Y’all are enjoying the hell out of it right now. The whole place is bumping to me so horny right now. Yeah. Think about it. That could be you dink it and sink it. Salty miso. Salty. Oh wow. Salt on salt. What is miso? I think it’s, uh. It’s soybeans. Oh, in the yeast. It’s the saltiest thing. In a Koji culture. So it’s Latin. It’s fermented. It’s fermented. Yeah. Soybean paste. Woo. We just don’t need this much salt, but too much salt. I’m being a salted, but maybe just a little, maybe just the tip. There you go. Just the, okay. Yep. Do just, I I can’t eat anymore. No, I can’t even just do the tip. Just do. It’s better than butterscotch. I don’t, I didn’t want it to be, if it’s just the tip. And then it, and then it lasts all night. Just a dab will do ya. If you’re just doing the tip, you know what I’m saying? That bowl will last all night. Yeah. Yeah. That could be the sequel. So what we’re saying is that right there. Yeah. You just can’t do too much too soon. Yeah. Ease into it. Mm-hmm. Next up is Strawberry Jam. Okay. How do we think about this? Well, this is potentially a great meeting of salty and sweet, but you don’t have any tang in there. So this is a tang less experience. Tang less sweetness. Yeah, Uhhuh. Okay. It’s a different thing, but I like it. And I actually think playing along with the ratios. Or playing around with the ratios. Yeah. You’re doing just the tip again? I think. Me? No, no. I think you want maybe more salty from, from two of them. I, I, it, it’s just not coming together for me. Hmm. Like since when do you have strawberries on potatoes? Like what about a potato pancake with strawberries? It’s a stretch. I mean, I’m working a little too hard to make this work. I think that’s just the proof in the, I like it, the pudding, like it bring back the pudding. I like it, but I don’t, I mean, I don’t love it. It doesn’t have to if you don’t like it, you know. Well, guys, as you know on Hanukkah, the traditional dish Yes. Is of course, say it with me. Three, two apple, one apple sauce on the latka. Oh my god. Yeah. You did it. Yes. Yeah. So it’s potato and a sweet thing. Yeah. There you go. I was gonna say, I’m sure there’s an example of this and that that is just, does that do it for you? It’s almost Euclidean in its perfection. Uhhuh, but this. I ain’t Stevie. It’s just not the same. Hmm. I like it. My, my friend. This is, I didn’t like this. The snow boy does not like it, and I don’t like this, but. I think I like it more than that, so I’ll leave it up to you. You like it more than miso? I think I do now. Oh, great. Me too. Oh, what is happening here? Yes. Well, I, I just, I mean, Stevie kind of, you know, when she said the latke thing, I was like, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. We’re moving on to carrot baby food. Okay. We are. Huh? Because once your baby gets old enough to not need this. You gotta do something with it. It’s up there in the shelf and you gotta figure out what the dippy dip in it. You can give it to other babies, really. Or we could just have it for ourselves. Have you ever gone around and offered food to babies in public? It doesn’t go well. Uhuh. I know it’s a mess because they can’t speak English yet. Well, usually the parents step in. Oh, I would say in between you and the child. Typically, if you take baby food out in public and you have it on a spoon and you put it in a baby’s mouth, the baby will enjoy it. The problem is the parents won’t. Yeah. Jerks. Huh? I like the fact that our custom, little mythical baby food label here has a baby on. It. Kind of makes me think maybe there’s baby in it, you know? Well, is that why it’s called baby food? Think about it. This feels healthy, but it tastes like trash. All baby food tastes like trash. But you love a bland, bad food. It’s so bland. You feel like it’s gonna be sweet, but then it’s just bland. Exactly. That’s why I’m not going back into it. It’s cold. It’s carrot. Are you telling me that you like this? Like you obviously like it? I don’t. I don’t like it. I don’t like it, but I want to like it. I don’t want to like it. I do not. It’s trash. It’s trash. Come on. It tastes like trash. Is this a joke? Come on. We give the baby more sugar. Give the baby more salt. Give the baby more. I don’t know. Yeah. Bummer. Did you hear Last Meals is now available on Peacock? I’ve heard this. You know what? Last Meals is a good show. It’s a great show. Do you know about Last Meals? Chef Josh has a way of getting to the heart of things with people as they are enjoying not their actual last meal, but what would be their last meal. And there’s some wonderful conversations. If you got Peacock right or your parents do. Uh, turn it on and watch Last meals. Or if you have YouTube, I mean, it’s still also on the Mythical Kitchen. YouTube, it is also there. I just want to clarify that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe if you’re on Peacock already, yeah, I’m fine. You know? Yeah. Alright. Good. Okay. We have chimichurri. Yes, we do. Now this is good on a steak. I have high hopes for this. What else is chimichurri Go on? Can you tell me what chimichurri is? What’s in that? Rhett, thank you for asking. It’s um. Oil. It’s, it’s basically oily, like swamp sediment. Okay. There’s no ingredients on this, I think, you know, because, because it is not FDA, uh, parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar. Okay? So the green is parsley, but it’s got garlic in there. I’ve always quite liked it. Aromatic. Hmm. It’ll make the warts fall off your feet with all that garlic. You don’t need a lot though, boy. Just the tip here too. I’m gonna bite off the tip and then I’m gonna go just, it’s a little messy. Just the, just the middle. Hmm. But you want to get some of that partially in garlic. You do wanna get some. This is next level. Garlic fries. Um, taste wise, this is very cool. I will say from a functionality standpoint, it’s drippy, it, it, it’s complicated. It’s good to like slather on a steak. But to constantly dip ’cause of the drip. Mm-hmm. You got the drip from the dip, which not it, I try flavor wise, I think this is my favorite thing. Yeah. Yeah. We, there’s some danger in there, but I do think that we’ve got to do it. We gotta do it. Okay. And finally we have anchovy paste. Huh? What, what? Who? Two. Do you have this at your house? Why you ask me that? I know I don’t have it at my house. Is this a thing that people have at their house? Some people, I bet. Well, if you’re a Caesar salad lover. That’s what you would use this for? You would throw it into a mix of Caesar salad. Like if you were making a dressing from scratch. Yeah, dressing. Well, that’s, that’s pungent. That’s strong. Even just a little waft is gonna like, hit you. Yeah. I can’t go strong on this. I, I don’t, this is gonna be salty. I like anchovies if they are. A part of something greater. I do not like them. Like I, I don’t like ’em on my pizza. I don’t like when you can tell that that’s what they are. Well, think of the, oh God, um, tin fish craze, you know? Oh, I’m fully a part of that. Exactly. Okay, so that’s really cool. Why are you, and you gotta get in that head space because it’s one of those healthy things. You did a whole sardine diet. Well, I made it two days on the three day sardine diet. You ate only sardines for two days. Two days. And you couldn’t make it a third day. Well, I was invited to a dinner that didn’t, they weren’t serving only sardines. So I, uh, yeah, it’s tough. I sort of had to depart from it. It’s tough when you’re social. Yeah, right. To be a sardine. I was like, uh, I’m going to the dinner. Hopefully it’s only sardines. And when it wasn’t, I had to break my fast. No, they’re really good for you. Packed with nutrients, protein, and omega threes. And I actually quite like them, but I don’t like, but I put a lot of stuff, don’t tell anybody, but I put like mayonnaise, mustard, relish, hot sauce. Yeah. You can’t taste those. Yeah, you can’t taste the sardines anymore. So does this have the Omega-3 benefits? I’d read the packaging, but it’s um, it’s fully, I don’t know about anchovies, ’cause those are not sardines, but. They are little fish. Let’s, let’s uh, not delay the inevitable. I think you gotta eat the whole fry once to get as much potato in your mouth. But I don’t want the anchovy to just be in the back of my throat. Then it has less to travel. I don’t want to like put no, if you can make that touch your uvula and the rest of your mouth never finds out about it. Oh, it did though. Oh. This is awesome. Gosh, I concentrated, I mean, oh my God. This is not made to be done like this. It’s like if you, you know, one of those piers where people go out there and they fish? Yeah. And if you walk out there fishing pier and you go out there and if you just took a paint scraper. Yeah. And you just started scraping all the way down the wood behind all those people. Yep. Fish, guts, seagull poop. And wood. And wood, and then you put it on a fry. That’s what we just did. Yeah, right. That’s what we just did for you. Um, it’s, uh, it’s not great. Y’all don’t try. It doesn’t look good and it doesn’t even look good up there. So does that mean. It does mean the next best thing to ketchup and all the other things that you’ve already thought about before. Yeah. Is chimichurri sauce. Yes, yes, yes. It’s chimichurri. Good God. Let me get rid of, I need something to get rid of that. It’s not as good as ketchup though. Yeah. Thanks for coming and sharing this video. You know what time it is. Hi, I’m Jordan. And I’m Ethan. And we’re here with our friend Rhett.
