- And the award for the tastiest food hack goes to,
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy theme music)
Good mythical morning.
- Mythical beasts, we ask you to ask us questions,
and on Thursday we seek to answer those questions
in the most confusing way possible.
- Yes, and we've got a question from OkayItsJJ who asks,
what is/are the best party snack(s) to bring?
JJ, I assume you mean to a party,
well you're on the right track son because food
is the most important thing to get right at a party.
Yes, and the best parties are the one where the food
is themed to the party, and the Oscars are right
around the corner, we are ready to receive our Oscars.
Mmm, look, we look so good.
- Maybe just a person named Oscar, like a dog named Oscar.
- Yeah, or at least a watching party during the Oscars,
from like, we'll watch it on our televisions.
- Yeah, we will be doing that.
- We are gonna present to you some Oscar party-themed
food hacks that are going to blow your taste buds
out of the water, it's time for,
My Party Has a First Name, It's O-S-C-A-Ar!
And if I Use These Food Hacks, I'll Be an S-T-A-R-R.
- Okay, so all of our food hacks are going to be inspired
by some of the films, and some of the actors
that everybody's talking about.
(horn fanfare)
Manchester by the Sea is one of the most talked-about
best picture nominees, this is a sad movie that follows
the story of a guy who has to take care of his nephew
after his brother dies, and we're gonna get
our Oscar party started off with a dish that will leave you
as heavy-hearted and incapable of getting off
of the couch as the movie that inspired it,
we call this Hamchester by the Brie.
- I see what you did there,
and I see what we did here, which looks very inviting.
- This is ham, okay, ham,
- That's the hamchester.
- And they have been crisped to become ham chips.
- [Link] Look at that.
- That you can reach in here,
now you're gonna probably have to support it,
you can either support it with your knife or your finger.
You're just gonna get a little bit of this,
hold on, look at that.
- Look, there's one right on there, is that one for me?
- That's for you Link. - Thank you Rhett.
- So it's just a little bit of, a little bit of Brie.
- It's an honor to just be nominated with this.
- I mean how can this be bad,
this is just pork and cheese together.
- Dink it, and sink it.
- And if you wanna add a little punch to this,
because apparently Casey Affleck punches like 50 people
in this movie. - Oh yeah, okay.
- We have, what are we calling this, habanero honey jam.
- [Link] Because that's what it is.
- [Rhett] Just a little dollop.
- [Link] That's why we're calling it that.
- We're calling it, cause that's an accurate description.
So you're gonna, - You just whistled,
a little bit, did you hear that, when you said description?
- When I get excited sometimes,
I whistle through my mouth, unintentionally.
- As opposed to whistling through your what?
- Well, I don't know.
- Gimme some of that, I already have some
of the Affleck punch, give me some of the brie.
Now that's nice, I'm sitting over here, waiting,
- Oh, I got a lot of that.
I got too much of that.
- Boy, it does have a punch, doesn't it?
- Casey Affleck, you gotta watch that boy.
He can get himself into trouble sometimes.
- That is surprising.
- That's really good, and I like saying it,
hamchester by the brie, it makes me sound sophisticated.
- Hamchester by the brie.
- Yeah, with a little lisp?
- Yes, it's perfect. - Hamchester by the brie.
- Yes, I'm on the Academy, I voted for it.
(horn fanfare)
- Okay, this next dish is inspired by another
best picture nominee, Hidden Figures,
which is about the brilliant and underappreciated
African-American women who worked at NASA,
and were the brains behind some
of the most important missions of the past.
In keeping with the theme of the film,
this dish is about finding the overlooked,
but integral, I will say the integral parts of food.
Now this is part appetizer, part party game, called,
- Oh, it's a game? - Hidden Fig Newtons.
Now we got three crescent rolls here.
- Which is already good, I mean you've won already.
- Yeah, you bring crescent rolls out at a party,
- You've won the food Oscar - And everybody loves you.
They are moon-shaped, so NASA.
- Okay, a little bit of a stretch, but.
- One of these three, go with it, one of these three
- Has a Fig Newton in it. - Has a Fig Newton in it.
- So I might have to eat two crescent rolls,
that's not a problems.
- Hide your figs, hide your newtons, grab one.
- I'm going to the far reaches.
- And I'm gonna go to the other far reaches
of the crescent galaxy.
- Boy, if they got a Fig Newton in this thing,
I am really impressed with where they slipped it.
- Feels a little heavier than that one.
Alright, let's get our Taraji P. Henson on,
that's what you call eating a crescent roll.
- Yeah, but it's a very serious film.
- It is. - With a serious message,
but I mean. - I've never seen her
eat a crescent roll, for the record.
- You can enjoy finding Fig Newtons,
I mean nothing wrong with that.
- I'm sure she's great at it.
- No Fig Newton. - No Fig Newton.
Hey, come on man.
You did the ol' swappy-swap.
- You gotta think fast.
You gotta think fast like those women in NASA.
- Oh, there's a Newton, dang it!
- [Rhett] I win!
- Serious film though.
(horn fanfare)
- Okay, you can't have an Oscar party without talking
about one of the most nominated films of all-time,
of course, we're talking about La La Land,
tied with All About Eve and the Titanic
with 14 nominations, that's impressive.
This follows the love story of an aspiring actor
and a jazz pianist, and their journey
to fame and fortune in Los Angeles.
And this specific food hack inspired by the movie
is for all the dreamers out there, who count their sheep
before they sleep, but when they awake in the morning,
they realize that their dreams, like lambs,
have been slaughtered and turned into meatballs,
it's La La Lamb Meatballs, everybody.
- There we go.
- Now as you can see, there are 14 of them, Link,
so this is also a game, not quite as fun as
the find your kids, what is it,
find your Fig Newton game.
- If your kids are lost, you should stop playing games
and look for them.
Otherwise, look for a Fig Newton in a crescent roll.
- Exactly, this is you got 14 Fig Newtons,
that Fig Newton went into my brain.
- You are stuck. - I love Fig Newtons, man.
- You're rubbing it in my face,
I didn't get any of the Newton.
- That's right, you got 14 lamb meatballs.
- So every time they win an Oscar,
- Yeah, and of course, - You eat one.
- They probably are nominated for some that
are gonna be given away, like, the days before,
you know, probably already right now, like with the
weird sound editing and stuff like that.
- It's not nominated for sound editing.
- You could probably just eat a few right now,
but anyway, it is served with some
olive mediocre tap dancing-enade,
and some white jasmine rice.
- Oooh, white jas-
mine rice.
I'm not big on tap dancing, or olives,
so I'm just gonna go with straight meatball
with a little rice on the fork.
- I'm just gonna do both of these at the same time.
- That rice is great.
That meatball is strong, that's a strong contender for,
- It makes a statement, it really makes a statement.
- It's breaking out into song in my mouth.
- The rice is a little bland, though.
- I taste like a lamb.
- It's like somebody just learned
how to make rice right before the movie.
Somebody like took some tap dancing classes,
- Yeah, like just before, - Right leading up to it.
So this, I think as a game this is fun,
but as a meal, you kinda gotta like the barnyard taste.
I will eat all 14, though. - Not me.
(horn fanfare)
Okay, and you can't talk about La La Land
without talking about the internet's forever boyfriend
Ryan Gosling, so we have created a dish
especially for him, it is the Ryan Deviled Gosling Eggs.
Which are actually made from goose babies.
- They're not really babies yet.
- Okay, unfertilized goose babies.
- I don't wanna get philosophical here,
but unfertilized eggs are what we're eating here.
- Gosling Deviled Eggs, there you go,
you wanna grab one of those?
- So it's, this is, - I love a deviled egg.
- A goose egg, that's why it looks
bigger and weirder than normal.
- Dink it, and nominate it for mouth purchase.
- That's good.
- Ryan, you devil, you.
You've outdone yourself Mr. Eva Mendes.
- Now these are pretty good, - I love it.
- I kind of take my - Nailed it.
- My Ryan Gosling deviled eggs to a different level.
- Oooh, bringing in a platter, what is this?
Look at that.
- Hey girl.
That's the Gosling himself.
- I can tell, that is great.
- And this is all just deviled egg, just all over my plate.
- Right, so you just.
- Oh come on, look what you did to my boy.
- I censored him. - Why would you do that?
This is a man, when women see him on screen,
their eggs just get deviled right there in the theater.
And look what you did, you took
his beautiful mouth away, Link.
That's what makes him the boy.
- Sorry Ryan, good luck with your speech now.
(horn fanfare)
- You can't talk about the people who made the cut
without talking about the people who got snubbed.
Of course, we're talking about Amy Adams
with her incredible performance in Arrival.
This sandwich is something that Amy can enjoy
while she's watching the Oscars,
it's the Amy Adams Snub Club Sandwich.
Amy, we know that you're sad,
- And we're there with you
- But we have a sandwich that you can use
to console yourself.
It has all these ingredients that you can
console yourself in one bite.
We have bread made from chocolate cake.
We have ice cream.
We have potato chips.
We have a chocolate chip cookie.
We have pizza.
- Slice of pepperoni.
- And then we have the whole thing wrapped in tissues
that you can wipe your tears away with.
Don't eat it yet. - I'm not.
- Don't forget about the au jus.
We have a red wine au jus that you can use as an au jus,
or you can just get sloshed to deal with the pain.
This is for you Amy.
- Dink it.
Dip it.
- This might be difficult.
- Hmm, dip it again.
- Oh my.
- It's chewy. - It's consoling.
Now if you eat this whole sandwich Amy,
you might have to deal with the arrival of diarrhea.
So just be on the lookout for that.
- The layers of goodness combined
create sensation of badness.
- The red wine, a little overpowering.
Maybe you just gotta finish it,
finish this and the whole glass
before you really start to feel the effects.
- [Link] It's the pizza
that's really throwing me for a loop.
- Just the pizza?
- Everything else is pretty great together.
- Now I heard that she actually knew that she
was not going to get nominated when she took this role,
but she decided to do the movie anyway.
- Oh, and she didn't tell Jeremy Renner.
- No she didn't.
- Alright, make sure you watch tomorrow,
where we get spicy, but for now
