GMMore 2895: Judging Food We Found Online

We are rating stranger’s plates from the internet. Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’ve been told that there is a subreddit about rating stranger’s plates. Close – No. Close – Facebook page. Yeah, it’s a Facebook group. Group. I wasn’t aware that this was still going on. Yeah. Apparently there’s a Facebook group. Okay. Called Rate My Plates. Well, let’s see if we can rate these plates. So the I, before we see it, I am now expecting, because it’s a Facebook group, a certain demo of people who are asking for other people to rate their plates. And it’s sincere. Are we, do we are, are we in Facebook groups, Mythical crew? No. Oh, no. Truly, truly not. A single person has raised their hand here at all. So this is a. This is a specific group of people. Mm-hmm. You know? Um, okay, let’s the first one, let’s see. We can tell, Hmm. Yeah. I mean, this isn’t anything to make fun of. Well, it’s quite chunky. Uh, we now, can I just say how many pearl onions I see? I like a pearl onion, but I’ve never eaten one Well, it’s one of my favorite things. I’ve never put it on a salad. I usually just eat them straight. What, how am… I think I would eat ’em with like peas. – They’re good in peas, but… – I think that’s the only way I had ’em. You haven’t had a pickled pearled onion. Ooh, they’re so good. You can put ’em in a casserole. My mama ne did that. – There’s also… – What kind of casserole? Onion casserole. Oh, what? Yeah. No meat. Oh, I think I got Josh to make that for my last meal back when last meals were like, you know, reasonable amount amounts of food. You mean for the first ever Last Meal? The first ever. And now everyone does, uh, so many dishes. I want, can I, I wanna go back on just, I wanna go back on now. You can’t see the caption to this. Uh, it says, I feel like I have forgotten something, but I don’t know what Moderation. Yeah. A knife to chop things up into finer pieces. What are those? Um. Yellow cubes. Believe cheese. Yeah. – Everything is way too chunky. – Why have you not commented on the salad cream? – I assume this a… – I’m getting there. Is this a British thing? I think it’s a British thing. I’ve watching a lot of task master and they talk about salad cream on it. Okay. So they don’t call it dressing. They call it cream. – It’s like… – It is a cream The salad’s got like weird bumps on it. Gave it a little sale. I don’t like salads that feel like I have to make so many choices. Yeah. I want, I like, I like a mixed salad. I want it to be mixed. That’s right. – Like if somebody gives me a… – Unless there’s tomatoes that is the advantage of this. What do you, what, what is this? What do you call this? This is like a chef salad’s. Like a cob. Cob. Yeah. If somebody gives me a cob and they… Of course, in the UK they call it. Oh, oh, you want us to do a joke? Okay. Okay. Well I wasn’t ready. Yeah, lemme think about it. So that part of my brain wasn’t on. Yeah, I thought you were gonna actually tell us. Yeah. We’d prefer to be informed than entertain. Well, now I’ve intrigued myself, so I’ll do that. Well, it’s another part of the, of the corn. I think what they’re missing is, um, chopping stuff up finally and black pepper. Yeah, you need black pepper. You need, you do need that, and you need some better greens. Those greens are sad looking. Oh, it’s still called a Cobb salad. Okay, good. Well, that’s not, I don’t like that. I’m gonna give, I’m gonna give this a, well, wait, wait, wait. Four outta 10. There’s one more consideration that neither of you has has, has voiced up. I see a lot of danger here. I do not like you think on it. The amount of food on the plate to the, the edge of the plate and the presumed height of the salad immediately. Yeah, it’s gonna go off the plate Nobody’s eating this with without making a mess. Nobody’s doing it. Too much spilleage. I don’t care if you’re British. You’re still not doing it. I don’t care how good your manners are, how well you hold your fork. Alright, well then I’m taking it down to a… – A three? – A four. You said four the first time. I’m gonna go down to a three. Three outta 10. Woo. Listen, we’re being tough on these. Okay. I, yeah, I think that’s, I think that’s fair. I think we need to hold the line. Okay. Yeah. Um, let’s see the next one. Okay. Um, first of all, the, the lighting and the ability to take a picture that makes it more appetizing is not happening. We need to go into the HDR mode for this one, we need a little more dynamic range. The contrast is making everything a little too dark. Well, the caption on this one says, first time I tried making something presentable. 25 male lives alone. USA shoe size 15. Okay. Wait, what are looking, what are you looking for? Shoe size 15. This is a, this is a tall man. I mean, I don’t know if that’s what he’s trying to communicate, but I don’t. Okay. I think if you went to the kind of restaurant where they do these kinds of things on the plate, you would be. You be, ah, this must be the first time this, this person must be learning. Yeah. There’s something not quite as artful about it. Right. But then for a person doing it at home, it’s way overkill. It’s way more overkill than you need to do. It’s only if you’re gonna take a picture of this and put it on the internet. Trying. – Well, here’s the thing – Trying way too hard. Jacob Faulk, who posted this, Apparently we reversed Google Image, searched this. And it is not your photo, Jacob Faulk. Oh. It’s just you are coming in this Facebook group and you are lying about the, the food that you’re – making and the plates you’re plating – He’s trying to get laid by a cougar. Allegedly. Do you think that his shoe size is actually a 15? No. He’s, he’s stalking women in Facebook. He’s going and getting pictures of food that he thinks are impressive, and then just dropping his shoe size in the conversation. I mean, come on, shoe size 15. Don’t forget about that. And it’s not, if you’re gonna steal a photo, you can do better than this. Like why the green stuff that’s all around the steak shouldn’t be there like that. But hold on. He, he’s sending subliminal messages here, even though I know he just stole this image. Because there’s something very eggplant like in that strip of red, dark red stuff. Yeah. And then we’ve got this, we’ve got this. – A green trail of the… – Green trail of what? Yeah. Yeah. I don’t mean to see a doctor about that. So, uh, yeah, we’re not taking the bait, Jacob. – One. – Good investigative work on this – We’re gonna give you a DQ – Reverse image search. Huh? Wow. Allegedly. Allegedly. Well, I, listen, I don’t need him to come after me in particular. That’s right. Everything’s a, he has a, everything’s allegedly a, I mean, what is, is that red sauce? Just ketchup? Because that wouldn’t be ketchup. Looks like beets. Yeah, but I think it, it’s, it’s, that’s a fries, so… I think that’s, those are carrots. Mm-hmm. Oh, those are carrots. Mm-hmm. That makes sense. Okay, let’s see. A real plate. Uh, we’re giving that a zero because it’s, it’s disqualified. Oh, well I didn’t, I didn’t get the plate before. I said, let’s see a real plate. – It still is a real plate. – It’s a bowl. This is leftover. Is it? No better? Oh no, it is plate. It is a plate. It’s a plastic bowl. No, no. It looks like a plastic bowl, but then you see it as a blue plate. And I can see it both ways. Wow. Is this the next? Hold on. Did we just discover, is this a blue plate or a plastic cup? Is this the dress for us? Yes, it is. We’re gonna make this viral. Hold on. Who see? Okay. Because the stuff on the edge of the plate looks vertical. Who sees a plastic bowl? Who sees a blue plate? Some people saw the plastic. Nobody sees a blue plate. Hold on. It’s a blue plate. But try to see a blue plate. Try to see a blue plate. Carney sees a blue plate. I see a blue plate. Oh, Davin’s chiming in. I mean, guys, the Facebook group’s called Rate My Plate. It’s the blue plate. Why? But more people think it’s a bowl. Hold on. But everything about it could be either. I don’t think it’s a bowl. I think it’s a to-go. It’s a to-go container. But it’s not. Do we have a different view of it? Can we, we, can we get wider? I’m looking like giving myself an inch between my nose and the screen, and I gotta say it’s a, it’s a plastic container. Give me definitive evidence. I don’t think it is. Gimme definitive evidence. Okay, let’s reverse Google Image. Search this plate, by the way, the caption says Smoke oyster Caesar. Yeah, this tastes like crap. I bet you. Ooh, I love smoked oyster. You would like a smoked oyster? I, I like ’em. But they, they will invade everything that you put them into. Do a little chili crunch. Do you do tin fish? I like tin fish. So soy, I’m really on, I do tin fish kick, but yeah. Uh, I have to, I have to mix it up a little bit. I, I gotta put some mayonnaise and some mustard. Oh, yeah. You have to do a, you have to do a spread. Yeah. Like, like a charcuterie board, but with tin fish. Yeah. So is this a. Is it a container? Because they mixed it up and that’s why there’s residue? Because you couldn’t mix up a on a plate like that, and if you just mixed it up on something and then put it on a plate, which they should have done, it wouldn’t have all that residual stuff on the plate, which is not a plate. Right. I think it’s not a plate because upper left hand corner you’ve got. Uh, I don’t know what that is, but it feels like I’m seeing into a three dimensional space that’s not just like a flat tablecloth that it would be if it was just a plate. Hmm. And what kind of plate would that be? Yeah, because I think I can see through it. P period. Then down here at the bottom, I think that’s a finger light. That’s a finger underneath me. Oh, there’s a finger. Yeah, there’s a finger. Because it’s being suspended in the air. Oh, I see. Another finger too. I see multiple fingers now. No, those are the, um, clams or whatever the heck. No, like you see that finger, the, the clear one and then if you go over a little bit. Yeah. One finger’s really holding it, pushing on it. I don’t think this is gonna go viral. Yeah, because we’ve just solved it definitively. Uh, but I’m gonna give you a 10 out of 10. What? For the confusion that you caused me. I could see, I still can see a blue plate if I want to. I’m giving you a one because first of all, it’s not a plate. So how can I rate a plate? Because they made us think it could be a plate. Alright, well, that’s why you get a one. Okay. That’s the only because other than that… – Okay, Lamar Hillburn – Soggy and scary. Okay, gross. Up next, vegan alert. A nice simple lunch, vegan, fried ham, fried tomatoes, bread and brown sauce. All ingredients checked and checked and vegan. This is also, this is effective. This is UK as well, right? Yeah. It must be a UK Facebook group at this point. Yeah. Yep. We got brown sauce. That’s what’s happening. Um, these are. These are British people. I wonder what a size 15 men’s UK shoe. Oh, that’s right. It might not even be impressive. It looks like a ear, eh? So somebody eating an ear, a holist ear. I do like a tomato. That is a ugly, ugly plate though. Oh no. The colors A UK size 15 is equivalent to a US size 16. Oh my God. Well now, well now we understand why he is in there. It is worth talking about. No effort was made. Yeah. You this, there’s some things you just eat, you don’t share. You know what I mean? This is, this is in that category. Yeah. What. They shared it because they thought it was gross looking. They expected a low score. Yeah. Well you’re gonna get one, one. It’s also being served on a blanket. Did you point that out? Yeah. They’re eating, they’re eating on their bed spread. Yeah, that’s, that’s a point. There’s a lot wrong here. I wonder what their shoe size is. It looks like maybe it’s a towel. Is that a towel used as a tablecloth? Uh, zero. Oh, okay. Zero. I’m, I’m still gonna give a one ’cause it is a plate and I would eat it Next. Woo. Interesting. Right. My dad does this to avoid cutting pepperoni Oh, I guess I could have seen that Well, your dad’s a genius. It’s weird. Hold on. Your dad has done something now. He’s made a couple of questionable choices. I wonder the top two pieces especially. Oh, you know what? He doesn’t want there to be more than five pieces of pepperoni on any slice. And if he had done that on that upper left hand corner, it would’ve been six, and that creates a great starter bite. I’m gonna start doing this. This is a 10 out of 10. He’s got. A full pepperoni starting bite on every single one of these pieces. Yeah. Bravo. So does he follow through when he eats it? And he doesn’t bite through a pepperoni either. I’d like to watch him eat. I think he bites like Pac-Man and just eats a full pepperoni in every bite. That’s, that’s a fun little exercise. So you need scissors for this probably. I need scissors for this ’cause I’m going to do it. It doesn’t look like you used scissors. Maybe you did. You definitely gotta have everybody on board for this. You know what I mean? You’re gonna upset a lot of people until you explain it. But he, he, I mean, this dude doesn’t want more than 5 pieces… I mean, he didn’t have to explain it to us. Yeah. But you know how people are. So next time you order pepperoni pizza, you’re gonna say, don’t slice it. No, I’m not gonna, and you’re gonna do this. I’m not gonna do No, no, no. I’m saying next time I make a pizza at home, I’m gonna do this. Or next time I go to one of those places where you get it and you bake it at home. I’ve never been to one of those, but you can go to those places. They still around. What do you mean? You get the pizza at the place and you take it home and bake it? A grocery store. Like a place only for that? Yes. Who knows about this? Yeah. Yeah. There’s one in Texas. One in Texas. Papa Murphy’s. Papa Murphy’s. Yeah. He’s like, we don’t have enough… So you’re referring to the one in Texas – is what you’re.. – No, no. There was one here. Yeah. I think there was one. – I thought it was… – Take and bake. A pandemic. It’s a take and bake place. And they, ’cause there were places that popped up that would do other stuff before there were like. The meal delivery services took over. I’m with Rhett. I’m gonna give this one a nine. And pepperoni’s my favorite kind of pizza. So I mean, I’m 10 outta 10. You did it. It stops you in your tracks and then it satisfies you in your belly. Let’s see, another one. Okay, is this tomato and cucumber salad with lots of oregano, smiley, face Eat. Plant emoji. Plant emoji. Plant emoji, not animals. Okay. I thought this is ravioli. I thought it was bananas. Now what, why would you, like, what would, um, why would you take a picture of this and then, and then, and then show people this? Yeah. ’cause I think in the world of where you’re really trying to get people to go plant-based and you are. Trying to convince people who aren’t plant-based to go plant-based. Like one of the, one of the parts of that strategy is making them think that this choice is going to be a fun choice or like they’re gonna be able to have satisfying meals. And this is not a meal, this is an appetizer. And it’s not even a good one. for a meal where there’s other stuff to eat. Yeah. But also like, think about, and maybe this is just me, but sometimes I’m compelled to take photos of my food. Because I’m like, that looks delicious. And then I take the photo and nine times outta 10, I’m like, yeah, the photo doesn’t do it justice. Right. – You add your shoe size, and then… – But it’s on my camera roll… You know, I cannot think of a time in recent past where I’ve posted or shared one of those photos with anyone. I don’t know. I mean, maybe this person, you know, has more confidence in themselves. Well, the whole taking pictures of your food is coming back. What do you mean? Because. Not on social media. Maybe it’s leaking into social media, but the act of taking pictures of your food is back because there’s multiple apps where you just take a picture of your food and it uses AI to tell you how many calories. It’s, and it goes in logs into your stuff. There’s a aura ring has a, a, has a function. I’m not using it, but they have a function where you can take a picture of your food and it’ll like estimate the calories. Oh, interesting. And there’s multiple apps to do that. So if you see those people taking pictures of their food now, it isn’t necessarily that they’re gonna like put it on daily motion. Daily motion. It’s because they are putting it in their app. Okay? Um, two, two. Actually I’m gonna give this a six because this is for the first time ever, I’m turning over all new leaves. The things that I’m discovering leaves is that… You like cucumbers? I like vinegar so much that I’m starting to like vinegar and cucumbers. So you’re liking pickles now? No, they’re not pickled. Oh, okay. They’re like fresh like that. Okay. And very thinly sliced. And it’s just a mechanism. Ooh. It’s a delivery mechanism for vinegar. Do you think this could get you to like tomatoes? – No. – They’re in those salads a lot. No, but you didn’t like cucumbers either. But not you didn’t. I liked pickles before them. Yeah. But I like them. I like vinegar. That’s my thing. I’m obsessed with vinegar right now. Join me. A new episode of Good Mythical Weekend is coming your way tomorrow morning. Be sure to tune in.
