all right welcome back to sandwich wars episode one in today's episode
we will be putting the pernil sandwich which is an all fresh ham regional delicacy here in brazil
against the mortadella lunch meat monstrosity which obviously comes from italy but is quite
popular at the municipal market which will be a redemption trip for us we will be avoiding
all fruit sellers and going for the mortadella sandwich tomorrow but first things first right
behind me is a really popular uh pernell sandwich restaurant let's go i'm so hungry
all right first things first big shout out to this restaurant super cool in here it's like
1950s style where the stools are cemented into the ground and the tiles on the walls and the
waiter has a little hat on and he's super helpful helping us order i will say sandwich wars is over
we've got the winner already haven't even tasted it look how good this sandwich looks this is the
traditional vernill and this is pernil queijo so for new cheese i love how it's mostly good stuff
and very little bread it's tiny it's amazing it's just mostly the good stuff
it looks amazing i think most brazilians eat sandwiches with a napkin on their hands
so we're doing this tourist-style uh skin tough sandwich but anyway cannot wait
it's gonna be the best sandwich i've ever had in my life seriously
it's so good so the bread is super thin and the outside is sort of crispy and
the pork is so juicy it's got onions in it it's absolutely amazing this is an incredible sandwich
there's nothing to improve can i have a bite of yours yeah yeah because i can't imagine
something could be better than this and maybe with cheese it's slightly better
oh half and half perfect ivana so it almost looks like they took a bun
cut the bun in half took the in the inside of the bread out and just had the shell of the bun
so good absolutely six stars this is a must eat food is that eggs oh no cheese cheese cheese it's
melted cheese yeah and the whole thing is kind of soggy it's very heavy this is a good sandwich
which one is better would cheese is it even better now
that's really good to be honest i prefer no cheese really believe it or not the
quality of the ham is quite good because in canada the ham is more like processed yeah it's more red
it's like a red color could just be food coloring but this is like chunks of real pork
okay let me eat this is six star i don't wait for tom
this is the top end of six stars wow it's just so pretty one okay your turn okay
okay so this place is called lunches estadong estado
oh gosh i'm sure i'm saying it wrong but many of you guys recommend this place to
try the best traditional sandwich in sao paulo so let's try it's so good ivana there's there's
no way you won't like this it's impossible to dislike so good the meat to bread ratio
is is off the charts so good so thick yeah yeah oh my god it's so good right it is the best
sandwich i've ever had it's amazing right yeah and i don't think they put any sauce you know
what i mean no it's quite juicy and greasy and just delicious i think the flavor itself is just
from the ham itself yeah and uh yeah no sauce just you can see the oil from the ham i think
oh my gosh it's so good yo there's no way a mortadella sandwich can beat this and just a
simple they put a little bit of tomato in there a little bit of tomato a little bit of lettuce
ivana is making a mess no problem no problem oh the meat is so tender the meat is so good
wow i'm loving this brazilian ham as steve said it's quite different than like north american ham
yeah it was like real meat they were calling it fresh ham yeah which i think is uh too
differentiated from what most people think of as ham yeah exactly yeah exactly wow this is
so good okay guys try the cheese one oh dried cheese see if you think the cheese is better i
prefer no cheese not that cheese is bad oh the cheese looks good though i thought it was eggs
it looks like fried it's like it's like a grilled cheese i would say the cheese is five stars but
the no cheese is six stars that's my that's my analysis oh green agree there you have it guys
interesting idea put some chilies on there chili oil
that's for you though that's for the indonesian taste buds not the canadian taste buds oh the
oil in there looks pretty good is it don't be too spicy one thing that's interesting is
uh brazilian chilies are legit brazilian chilies are no joke you guys ready
yo wow okay so in this episode of sandwich wars mortadella has a a tough task at hand
all right yvonne let's finish up and then we'll see these folks back at the
uh mortadella sandwich tomorrow i don't think mortality can beat this i can't talk anymore
food's so good it leaves you speechless no kidding all right next stop mortadella
oh my gosh look at this monster mortadella
as well oh my gosh this place by the way is back look at the amount of people here
we were on the line for like i don't know 15 minutes or something 15 minutes
waiting for this sandwich right and they're like plenty of restaurants that serve the
same sandwich you know what i mean but we choose the one the busiest one yeah we
purposely went for the longest line yeah yo look at the sandwich it's i'm telling you it's
four inches tall wow look at the amount of meat i love it all right ivana don't be shy don't be shy
that was funny to watch you attempt to bite that i will say the scent of this one is is amazing
from across the table i can smell the meat smells smoky and sort of delicious
it's salty the meat is a little bit salty but i got like some herbs or something like i taste
something fresh inside of this really delicious sandwich and the bun is level like cheese bun
cheese bun with a little bit of salad in there yeah
so the bread itself is pretty thin you know what i mean that's what i like about brazil thin bread
lots of meat inside yeah the meat is always better than the bread so give me give me more
meat and less bread yeah this is very good oh my gosh you're gonna love this steve because
salty is probably my favorite taste i'm a salty kind of guy so uh maybe i'll love it
it's italian isn't it yeah it must have come here with the italian immigrants similar to the pizza
that would be my guess i'm not sure eleven tastes like pizza to me tastes like pizza in a sandwich
oh my gosh i'm so excited what portuguese pizza in a sandwich portuguese pizza sandwich yo that
sounds good yo we wanna please and you got the cheese in the middle and also at the bottom
you know what i mean double layer cheese and meat yeah it goes cheese meat cheese meat
okay i'm ready to eat if you're ready to let me we're sharing one today because it's so heavy
yeah we got one because i mean one is enough for two people look at the amount of food here
okay my turn
food's so good you ignore your boyfriend
oh my gosh it weighs two kilograms
ah it smells so good smells like delicious smoky mozzarella no smells like pizza
how do you bite this it's too big
okay when you squish it with your mouth to bite it your whole mouth fills up with grease
it's so flavorful yo i thought pernille would be the easy winner but this is something else really
when you bite it the meat squishes and makes all the grease come out yeah as i was chewing
i had just had to swallow the had to drink yes yes i had to swallow the grease out you know
a little bit soggy at the bottom just because of the grease watch watch watch
see the liquid come out i'm not kidding as you're chewing you have to
before you swallow the food you swallow the liquid it's so juicy
oh my gosh look at this it's dripping
my expectation was pernille was the easy favorite
this is very good but this i think i think this is a guilty pleasure oh yeah you cannot have that
every day i think we'll be having a nap after this because this is so greasy it's really good though
okay let's eat man yo we wanna you wanna be honest which one do you prefer okay be honest because be
honest go ahead go ahead let's finish the sandwich first and then we'll break it finish the sandwich
and then we'll see yeah it's possible we're gonna fall asleep have a nap right here in this chair
with this beer that just come to your table oh by the way the beer just comes to your
table automatically there's there's one guy who just constantly fills up a tray of beer
and then walks around saying you want some beer you want some air do you want some beer
you don't order he just comes to you it's kind of nice kind of nice
yo man this is this is i think i had two bites i think i'm full
what i think i'm full and two bites anything today this is our first meal and maybe only meal
yo shout out to people in brazil who have a beach bod
because from freijuara to purnille to mortadella sandwiches it's heavy can they get
fit temptation is all around in brazil if you have a beach brought in brazil that's
the highest level of uh beachbody yeah okay let's eat and we'll see what we like better
okay to be honest i was a little bit hesitant to come back to this market central market because
of what happened last time you guys remember a little bit of you have uh ptsd yeah i mean
this whole place is so packed today even downstairs we saw people trying lots of
fruits we've been through that we're like we're gonna try to avoid that area those
those fruit sellers are gonna make two hundred dollars today 300 yeah but many of you guys
told us that we must come back we must come back here just to try this it's worth it
so be honest ivana final review you have to pick one sandwich as the better sandwich is it pernil
or is it mortadella this is hard okay this sandwich is worth coming back to the central
market but i gotta say i prefer pernil pernil sandwich same same as me same as me the meat this
mortal is it bologna kind of meat cold slice or something like that yeah
it's actually closer to the canadian type of hemp yeah even the color is more is more
similar to that pink sort of ham yeah rather than the panel which is the actual fresh hat
but the perennial sandwich to me is top notch that is the best put it this way tell me if you agree
this mortadella sandwich is five stars yes bites the pernil is the six stars yeah and honestly one
mortadella brazil is for two people i am so funny i'm like i'm so full the amount of meat and grease
but it's worth coming look at the napkins look at the napkins both of us use uh four or five napkins
good thing our camera is splash proof because your fingers are soaked yeah oh by the way
really really cool did you try it with the hot sauce i forgot i think all the hot sauce here in
brazil they're all homemade because they never had the uh the point they never have a brand
yeah they always have the expiration date and like a refillable bottle that they that
they just make themselves oh my gosh oh my gosh i don't know it's so red i don't know
how spicy it is yo that to me for my eyes that looks like a mistake that looks like
it's good oh i'm scared burn your mouth try to try seems good you're nervous oh my gosh
spicy yo i love the chili
i like it
all right there you have it guys two canadians one indonesian canadian am i right now your face
is gonna be the same color as that sauce and so and so our votes were for the uh pernil sandwich
put it this way tomorrow we're not filming tomorrow's the day off i think we'll go for
a frill that is a that is a that is such a good sandwich but this one also very good two thumbs up
both sandwiches anyway thanks for watching guys yvonne is gonna start sweating i think
