- Today, our passports are stamped in swimming and syrup.
- Let's talk about that.
[Cheerful Intro Music]
- Good mythical morning.
Y'all ready to throw some darts?
- Well, they don't we do.
[Laughter]
- Okay, yeah.
You ready?
- I'm ready.
Y'all, I'm ready to throw some darts!
- We ready to throw some darts?
- Yeah! Now you're a weekend batter daddy.
Right?
- Well that can mean many things, but-
- You know what it means.
- I make pancakes for my fam on the weekend.
- Yes, that is true.
Yeah. I don't, but I do eat them.
If they're made for me, by anyone who makes them.
And they're made for me today and for you from everywhere!
- Right.
- Yeah. Well, you know, what's going to happen right?
[Laughter]
It's time for--
[Both Signing] where in the world
do these international pancakes come from?
- [Rhett] Now, before we begin,
we would like to issue a retraction and an apology.
In our recent episode entitled international school
lunch taste test you know, the one
where I'm in the thumbnail doing this--
holding a dart in front of a school lunch.
I mean, I think that was it the thumbnail,
we might've changed it to Link going like this--
holding a dart in front of the same school lunch,
and then it probably, under performance,
they switched it back to my face.
Well, you know what I'm talking about
During that episode, we committed a flap jack faux pas.
We referred to a Finnish school lunch food
as Pannukakku. As it turns out, Pannukakku means pancake,
but we were not eating a pancake.
We were eating a crepe.
The word we should have used was Lettu,
which is a Finnish crepe
and a more accurate representation of what we ate.
Again, Pannukakku means pancake.
That was not what we were eating.
We should know that now.
And, well, we do know that now.
So Finland, even though you absolutely do not exist,
this apology does, there will be no more mistakes.
I believe the Finnish word for apology is Pannukakku.
So Finland, please accept our Pannukkakku.
- [Link] We're going to try a
style of pancake that was created
or popularized somewhere in the world,
and then we're going to guess where we think
that pancake was from, by throwing a
dart at that particular country.
Oh, look, there's Chase the cartographer.
- Whoa, don't hurt yourself!
- [Chase] Today, yeah, you're scary. You're
messing up a little.
- [Rhett] Don't hurt yourself!
- [Link] Back in, back up the form.
- Okay. And again, of course, the
person with the lowest score at the end is a winner.
And newsflash! Link won last time.
That's right. That means that I
get the special advantage dart,
which is going to be the Hey Batter Batter,
which is a whiffle ball that has been dipped
in batter, which I can then throw at the map.
Closest batter to the correct answer is my answer.
And the winner will be crowned
the number one fan cake.
[Upbeat Vocalization]
- Look at this color!
- Color, color, color!
It looks like a bunch of Play-Doh cylinders.
- I'm just picking one up.
- [Link] I mean, look at this.
I mean, are they different flavors?
Ooh, what is this on the inside?
What is that?
- [Rhett] That's an interesting spice.
- [Link] Is that a fruit?
- Look in there and tell me what you see.
- Darkness.
[Rhett Blows Into Pastry]
Okay. Do you know what?
I don't have to go first.
I get to hear your reading
- On familiar territory, kicking off the dark game here.
There's an ingredient inside of that.
I don't want to say what it is
cause you know, I don't want to give you a hint.
- Okay. Well just tell me what you're trying to throw.
Yeah. I think this is a, I'm sitting
on the coast of Venezuela saying, you know what?
Give me, give me whatever your pancakes are.
Sir.
And this is what comes out for no reason.
I'm feeling Venezuela.
No reason I want to state.
- Don't say to them.
- [Link] Whoop a little low.
- [Rhett] I've got it narrowed down to
South Africa, Venezuela or Argentina.
- Oh, well you've narrowed it down.
- [Rhett] What I call the Southern triangle.
It's some kind of nut that's
in things, but it almost has a cinnamon-y quality to it.
I don't know what the color of the flag in Venezuela is
because I feel like this is these three colors together are
in a lot of African flags.
I don't know if that means it's South African.
I'm going to go with South Africa
but I'm going to lean a little bit into the Atlantic
because I think Venezuela is not a bad answer.
Oh yeah.
- [Stevie] Okay. These thin pancakes, which are pancakes
and not crepes because they're made
with a leavening agent are called Alle Belle.
They get their bright color from food coloring,
and they're filled with coconut and jaggery,
which is a cane sugar that is hugely popular in...
India.
- [Both] Oh
- [Link] India. I just thought I was
on a Venezuelan beach with coconut palms.
- Man, I should have been a little bit more wrong
with South Africa and I would have
should have just committed to South Africa.
My wrong answer.
- [Chase] Link,
you had 44, Rhett, 31.
- Oh.
[Upbeat Vocalization]
- What we got going on right here?
- Ooh.
- We got, we got some--
- There's some sort of meat product there.
There's a lot, a lot of fat.
That's like a pork belly or--
- [Link] That is a big piece of--
- [Rhett] Holy moly. Look at this, Link.
- [Link] Fat with a little piece of meat.
- Whew, look at that, that is some--
- Gracious!
- [Both] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [Rhett] How long would I have gone though?
How long could I have gone?
Oh, not that much longer.
- Did I ruin it?
- Yeah. I was going to go out of frame.
- So at ch- oh my goodness.
A cheesy corn. There's corn in this, oh--
- There's a lot of corn.
- In this pancake.
That was good.
Now I'm just going to take
a little, little bite out of that because--
- That is super fatty.
- A little bit of fat.
It goes a long way.
- Well, you know what?
I'm going first this time.
- Yeah. You've already taken the lead.
- Took the lead from you.
- Ya bum!
- Okay.
- [Link] I like this tastes good all around, right?
- I mean, it's very, very good.
I don't,
I don't, I don't need the, I,
I don't need a fat back.
But corn cakes sends me to South America.
- Well, I like a corn cake
- Corn cakes sends me to South America.
They love their meat in Argentina.
- [Link] Yeah.
- But you know what?
I have the, I have the, Hey batter batter.
I've got mine, my cheat door.
So I think I can afford to take a little bit of risk.
- [Link] You think Argentina?
- You guess Argentina. Talking to myself.
- [Link] Don't cry.
- [Rhett] And I really missed.
- [Link, In A Child's Voice] You really missed.
- [Rhett, Imitating Link] I really missed it.
- Uh, Shoot. We went to Australia
and I don't remember any corn cakes way over there.
I hope you're wrong, cause I'm going for
more of a hedged bet situation.
And I'm just going for Africa zone.
- Africa zone.
- Just to stay in this and maybe take the lead again.
- [Rhett] Oh, Hey, you got the Africa zone.
- [Link] Africa zone.
- [Stevie] Okay. You guys just had a
cachapas, which are savory pancakes made
from corn and corn flour, and stuffed
with butter and white cheese.
They're quite commonly enjoyed with the side
of chicharrónes. Cachapas are very popular
at roadside stands in...
Venezuela.
- [Rhett] Oh, Venezuela!
I'm not any closer to Venezuela than you are.
I threw such a bad throw.
- Maybe a little bit.
- [Chase] Rhett, you had 26 and Link, 25.
- Yeah. So you're a little closer.
- I was a little closer.
[Upbeat Vocalization]
- We want to invite you to check
out our podcast, Ear Biscuits.
Every week we talk about our lives.
We share our lives with each other.
So we'd like to share it with you too.
An audio version wherever podcasts are
found and a video version on the Ear Biscuits
YouTube channel, the following Sunday.
- [Rhett] Yeah. Link, look at this!
I don't even think we need forks for this son.
- It's a, it's a, it's a rolled over pancake.
- [Rhett] What in the world is inside of this?
- [Link] With nuts. Is that peanuts?
- [Rhett] Oh, there might be peanuts as well.
Peanuts and corn?
- I love it!
Wow! I mean, I'll slide the peanut butter on a pancake,
like, (snaps). That's the way.
It's peanuts and corn, like creamed corn?
Is that what's happening?
- Right? Stick your nose in there and find out.
- (high pitched voice) Talk to me. Talk to me baby!
- Okay, I'm still in the lead.
Peanuts.
- I likey. It's sweet.
- [Rhett] This feels like Malaysia.
Malaysia feels like the correct guests because peanut sauce.
I know I've had it, I haven't had it in Thailand
but I know Thailand is close by.
So maybe some peanut slipped over
to Malaysia. Or maybe vice versa.
Just in case I'm wrong.
And I'll skew a little bit left of Malaysia.
Okay. Here we go.
- I think you've really gotten distracted by the peanuts.
I actually, I feel like this is Argentina.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- [Link] Now this is my chance.
And it could be my moment.
- If it's Argentina and you're right,
you're gonna and make it very difficult to come back.
Even with a whiffle ball.
- But I don't have a reason.
- Corn. Corn is a reason.
Corn took me to South America last time,
but that was a corn cake, not just corn,
the presence of corn.
- That's right. It did.
I'm feeling good. Come on, come on.
Argentina.
Right there on it.
- Look at that, Link.
- [Stevie] Okay. You just tasted Apam Balik,
a thick folded pancake stuffed with ground roasted peanuts
and cream corn, which is a popular street food in...
Malaysia.
[Link Growls]
- Corn makes its way everywhere man.
- [Link] Boy, that hurts.
- Yeah. That's--
- That hurts.
- It's going to be tough
for me to actually use the whiffle ball.
Hold on. It's mine.
It's mine to use.
- [Chase] Yeah. Rhett, you had six, Link, 54.
- Ooh, oh, that hurts.
[Upbeat Vocalization]
Oh, got a stack, Jack.
- A red velvet stack- (coughs)
- Are you okay?
Hands up, hands up.
This does not smell good.
- [Link] Don't smell it. Just tasting.
It tastes worse.
I was afraid of that.
Is it blood?
- I do not believe it's blood.
- It's not blood that's...
- [Rhett] I think I know what this is.
One time, me and my beautiful wife,
went to the Ethiopian restaurant
and they had a spongy pancake like this.
That was the whole table was covered in it.
And then they just dumped your food onto it.
And then you just eat.
There's a name for it.
- [Link] Oh I heard about that.
- But it has the same consistency as this.
- And maybe it's just beets.
- Oh. And onions right in there too.
And that seems a little bit like Finland.
I'm going to aim a little bit north
of South Africa more towards Ethiopia is the East coast
of Africa there, knowing that that's getting me closer
to more of a cluster of potential answers.
- Okay.
All right.
So, I'm just feeling drawn
to Greenland because--
- Well, who isn't at any time?
- And this is some like Greenland beet, the Greenland beet.
- The Greenland beet.
[Laughter]
- [Link] And I go.
- [Rhett] Dude, so weak.
- I, I watched that happen and it was going right at it.
- I know and then it just... so weak sauce.
- It lost heart.
- [Link] So weak!
- [Rhett] Your dart lost hart.
- [Stevie] These pancakes are called veriohukainen,
otherwise known as blood pancakes--
- Oh, they really were blood.
- Really?
- [Stevie] They're made of whipped blood, water
or Pilsner, flour and eggs with onion and margerum.
Mar Marge-er-um.
- There's onion in there too.
- Yeah, that.
- [Stevie] They're also popular in Sweden and Norway,
but they originated in...
Finland.
- [Rhett] Finland, yeah.
- Oh, I thought you were going to say Greenland.
- You know!
- [Chase] This one was close.
Rhett had 17, link had 18.
[Upbeat Vocalization]
- - What do we have here?
- This isn't a pancake!
- It's more like a soup.
- It's like a crepe that was rolled and then cut.
- Then we've got, like, carrots.
This is breakfast?
- It's a subtle savoriness.
- [Link] Tastes like a beef broth. I like it!
- [Rhett] I'm up by a little if, I mean,
it would just be wrong of me to use the Hey Batter Batter.
- I did give it you last time when,
when I was thoroughly whooping you.
- So I clearly need to let you use this.
- The question is-
- Do I want it?
- Could I give you a choice?
And this is even being even more generous.
- Okay.
You can either use the Hey Batter Batter.
- [Link] Okay.
- Or you can use the dart.
And if you hit the country exactly...
- Which is not one of the ones on the board,
cause this is a random one--
- [Rhett] A mystery country,
Then you win the whole game, no questions asked.
Not if you do it with Hey Batter Batter.
Cause that would be too easy.
- I have no idea where this would be.
Can I defer my decision till after you throw
- Yeah.
- Okay. All right.
Throw your dart.
- When I see soup, and when I see carrots
inside soup, that moves me towards the middle of the board.
The collection of countries known as Europe.
You heard of it?
- Yeah.
- And so I'm just going to aim at Europe.
- Okay.
- Carrots in Europe.
I am not going to use the Batter Batter.
What you said about the carrots,
I'm really thinking about Europe.
Heard of it?
[Rhett Laughing]
And there's so many countries there actually feel
like I have a good chance of doing something by accident.
I'm going for Europe and I'm going
for one of those countries.
in Europe.
- [Rhett] Boy, I hope you hit it.
- And then I hope it's right.
Got to hit--
- Got to hit a country.
- Whoa, what did I hit?
- Is that Turkey?
- I hit that one.
- [Chase] It's right under Turkey.
- Okay. All right.
We'll figure out what country that is.
- What country is that?
- [Chase] Oh, that is, that is Turkey.
- [Rhett] Yeah, you hit Turkey.
What if it's Turkey?
- [Stevie] These are Flaedlesuppe, which is a kind
of pancake soup, then pancake season with salt, pepper
and ground nutmeg lightly rolled up and sliced into coils.
These coils are added to beef broth with herbs
and the dish is served in...
Germany.
- [Rhett] Oh wow.
- I could have, mm.
- You weren't that far off.
- [Chase] Link , you had five and Rhett, you had 10.
- Thanks Argentina.
- Okay. All right.
All is right in the world.
I feel myself again.
- So you win the foam finger.
- Yeah. Where's our phone finger.
- Do we even talk about the foam finger?
- [Stevie] The fan cake?
- Yeah, the fan cake.
- There it is.
- Look at that.
- Congratulations, Rhett, you earned it.
- Stick my hand in there.
- Or I gave it to you.
- Give everybody the finger.
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking on that bell.
