- Today we ask the age old question. - Will It Fondue?
-Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪
- Good Mythical Morning! - As you know, we like to see
if things "will" on this show, and I have rarely been as excited
to find out if something "will" as I am right now because we're going to be
putting things in to fondue, Link. And let me tell you that I believe--
- You are a cheese lover. - Fondue is one of the greatest things
that humans have ever come up with: dipping things in liquid cheese.
- This has got to make everything amazing. - Vaccines?
- Better than vaccines! You heard it here. - The internet?
- Tied. - Your mom?
- My mom is better. - Okay. Well, listen. Using bread?
Hey that's kind of boring so we are going to replace the bread
with a bunch of interesting, experimental things today.
That's right Mythical Beasts. We are going to find out...
(both) "Will It Fondue?" ♪ (tango music) ♪
- Pot of cheese (whip sound) - Look at this.
- And some forks. - I'm going to keep the cheese moving
throughout, so it won't solidify. Now there's lots of cheese in this,
but the question is, "Can we make it too cheesy?"
- Let's try with cheese puffs. - ♪ (tango music) ♪
- Cheese puffs -- - (both) "Will It Fondue?"
Alright. I love me some cheese puffs. Now, I've never put one on a fork
and put it in more cheese, but I have this technique where
instead of chewing these, I'll just put it in my mouth
- and let it melt. - Do people know you're doing that...
- ...when it's happening? - I just kind of look like
- Look at that guy. - If I am making that face...
- What is wrong with his lip? - It means that there's...
- ...a cheese puff in there. - Hey. Dink.
Dink! We're going to dip it. Oh my goodness.
- Sometimes you just know the answer. - Oh, but we got to find out.
Let me get rid of that. That's on yours now, huh?
- Yeah. - Don't apologize!
- What are we going to call this? - You know what? I think this could
- go on for eternity. - (laughter)
This may be heaven. Hold on! That was going to be my heaven!
-I'm sorry that I busted your heaven. What are we going to call this?
- Fond puffs? - I'm fond of puffs.
- Fond puffs. - (chewing)
- Mmh. - Oh my, it is everything
I thought it would be and a little bit more.
- We can revisit that locale again later! - On our own time.
- Yeah, 'cause "Will It Fondue?" - (both) Yes.
- OK now, when you're eating
something sweet, your first thought is probably not,
"How do I get some cheese all around this?"
But, maybe you're not thinking hard enough,
- so we thought we would try cupcakes. - ♪ (tango music) ♪
- Cupcake -- - (both) "Will It Fondue?"
- Look at this nice little cupcake. - That's not a little cupcake.
- That's a big cupcake. - Now we've got just a cake,
just a normal cake cupcake, with some chocolate on top.
-Thank you for pointing out what a cupcake is.
- Just a normal cake there. - I'm just a little cake.
- You should have your own show. - It's not a strawberry cake.
That's what I'm trying to say. I'm going to let you dip first and then I'll...
- ...dip second. - I'm just anticipating
that a good technique for this is just to set it in the middle.
- Ooh. - Just let it submerge itself.
You just set it right there and let it go down like a sinking ship.
- You want me to bury it? - Full coverage. I request full coverage.
- We're making cheesecake, man. - This is not the cheesecake
that I think most people would expect if they were to order it, but I think
- a test of fonduing is the fork. - OK
-So I'm just going to go in from the side.
- Oh my goodness. - I feel like I'm doing surgery.
- Then, you just sort of -- - Is that going to? Yes, it did.
-(screams)
- (laughter) - Oh!
You know what? We celebrated too soon, Link.
Oh gosh. I've got lots of chocolate leakage.
Get that chocolate. Just get the whole string of chocolate.
- Just get it all and just bleh. (laughs) - There we go.
- There, that's perfect. - We don't want residual chocolate.
That's a different type of fondue entirely!
You know, we could just share this one, Link.
Get a bite from that side that's got all the ingredients.
- Oh yeah. - Because we have these big spoons,
- is this -ah- cheating? - I don't know.
- I think this is what it calls for. - Now let's call this, "Cheesecake,
-but not what you were thinking." -(chewing)
- That was a big bite. - Link, I think we've discovered
something beautiful. There's nothing wrong with it at at all.
-I love the chocolate. I'm going in again.
-I think I'm going to pitch this to Disneyland.
-I'm not going to pitch it to Disneyland. I'm going to drive up to Disneyland.
- I'm just going to pitch 'em over. - Oh. Why don't we just set up
- in the parking lot and sell 'em? - Yep. We can get away with that
- for about 10 minutes. - (laughter)
- Alright, "Will It Fondue?" - (both) Yes!
- OK, now some people are afraid
- of the fondue fork. - Mhmm.
But for our next item, you don't even need one,
- 'cause it's a turkey leg! - ♪ (tango music) ♪
- Turkey leg -- - (both) "Will It Fondue?"
-Now this is...It's got a nice little handle.
-Now talk about something that's going to work in a parking lot?
People love these anyway, and they do get these at Disneyland.
They walk around with these, and we just say,
- "Dip it in our cheese!" - Oh my goodness.
- Look at that! Guys. - I'm going to take it...
and just do a little spinny-diddly-diddly.
It's like a cheese snocone of turkey-lurkey goodness.
-Look at that. Look at that. And then you just come out.
I feel like I need a plate, man. Oh, thank you for this big plate.
- So let's call this fondurkey... - (both) Legs. "Fondurkey legs."
- Stand up and vote! - Bite!
-I don't know who's voting for what, but I'm eating this.
- Mmh. It's like a cape of cheese. - (laughs)
It's amazing the consistency of cheese. It's literally like a blanket.
I mean, I don't think I could finish this if I wanted to.
- You don't want to? - No, I do want to.
But look at how thick the cheese is. Every time I bite it, the cheese comes
- and fills it back in. - Now you could put your lips on it
- and part the cheese like... - Oh, gosh. That's the nastiest thing.
It looked like you were sucking on a cheese nipple.
- (laughs) - I mean, look at that.
-No no no. This is like those parties we used to go to in middle school.
And you'd look over at me, and I'd be like.
-(laughs) No, it's like you went up to an exhibit of a cheese cow and tried
- sucking on the teat. Look. - (laughs)
-That is gross. So, there's an added complexity to actually eating this,
not to mention the amount of calories associated with getting all of this down.
Look at how big of a piece of cheese this is!
- But I'm going to say this is amazing. - Yeah. I mean there's no doubt...
- ...that it fondues. - "Will It Fondue?"
- (both) Yes. - (ding)
Everybody knows the secret wish of every fish is to have his head cut off
and put in hot cheese. We're going to find out
- what that tastes like. Fish heads! - ♪ (tango music) ♪
- Fish head -- - (both) "Will It Fondue?"
- OK, so these are deep fried... - Red snapper. That's a big fish,
- 'cause that's just the face of it. - The eyeballs are still in here.
-That's the best part from what I've heard.
-What is that? That's just the skull. -That's the skull
-I feel like the way to do this is to just -Oh!
-Gotta hammer?
-See if it's gonna come back. Oh wow! -See? Yeah, you can do it too.
-It went right through the brain. -Just go right into the brain.
-Speaking of brain, is there still a brain in here?
-Yeah, they just cut the head off of the fish, and then we fry it.
-And now we deep it in cheese and eat it. -Gosh, man. Okay.
-So you went through the skull here? -Oh yeah, you found a soft spot.
Yeah, oh yeah you're good. That's very, very solid.
-Uh, I did not like that sound. Fish and cheese normally go together so,
let's give them both a swim. They're used to swimming.
-(burbles like a fish) You wanna take a... -Yeah they love it.
-dip down into the cheese? (normal voice) Here let's put mine in
-there too. -We're going to have to get a bigger vat
because you don't want people coming up and looking in the window, and then two
-guys are going: "Put the cheese on there" -"How do we get this--"
-You want it to look like a fish was literally swimming in the cheese,
and then (pop) his head popped off, and we put it on a stick.
'Cause that's the thing about Disney Land, it's to create an experience unlike
any other. We're going to be in the parking lot. It's not going to be
-officially sanctioned by the-- -Right. That's why we only have the head.
-But with us, we have to create an experience.
Now the interesting part is where you bite-- okay. Here you go.
-That's the eye right there, I think. -Oh no!
-Is it? Oh gosh. -You know what an eye smells like?
(laughter) -That's an eye!
-I'm going to go right for the beak. -Here we go.
If you don't like your own product, you can't sell it to anybody else.
Okay here we go. (laughter)
And we gotta get where we don't have to take a deep breath before we eat it.
-Take a deep breath. -We're not going to sell any of these.
(chewing) (laughter)
-It's all bone. -Oh gosh!
The smell that let out of the head cavity, the smell that just came right out.
I don't even know what I've got. (chewing)
(gagging) (laughter)
-Hold on. Don't think about the fact that it's a head. Think about the fact that
it's a fish. It's not that bad, and then you just find another place.
Oh. I don't even-- -I gotta get this out.
(laughter) -You ate the eyeball off the end?
-Oh! I'm gonna bite right here where this eye is.
(gagging) (laughter)
-Don't... don't stab yourself. -(laughter)
Instead of just picking at it, we just need to crack it open like an apple.
(gagging) (laughter)
-That ain't no apple. -Here's what you do: you just take a
little layer of cheese, blanket it, and you won't even know what it is. You're
just like "Oh, it's just cheese. It's got a perfect spot for my lips there."
-(gagging) -It's not that bad, man.
-Imma try to swallow this. -The meat is really rich and flavorful,
we just have to teach the children how to eat it.
-I think I ate the brain. -It's not that it tasted bad,
it's just that the thought of it... and then the consistency of it...
It was just horrifying.
-Ew! -It's not a good mix.
-(both) Not a good mix. -There's a reason why chefs don't mix
cheese and fish... 'cause they're smarter than we are.
-"Will It Fondue?" -(both) No!
-Okay, so we just ate the head of a fish, so why not the tongue of a duck?
-Duck tongue!
-Duck tongues-- - ♪ (tango music) ♪
-(both) "Will It Fondue?"
-And here they are. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven duck tongues on this
plate. I think that we got so many so easily because most people eat like..
the normal part of a duck.
-Now look at how it's like curled up. -This is why ducks don't talk.
It's a very simple tongue. All you can do with this is quack.
-You can't say "Hello, Peter!" -But if ducks could talk, that is the
-thing they would say -(both) "Hello, Peter!"
-(laughter) -"Welcome to the pond."
-"What are you into?" -Look at that, it's... what is that?
-A bone? It's a flat-- -There's a freaking bone in the--
-We don't have bones in our tongues, do we?
-Like me and you? No. -I mean, maybe I've never noticed
-it before. -(laughter)
-I don't think so. -(weird noises with tongue)
-Maybe there's a bone in there. -Maybe a lot of little bones?
-Yeah yeah, who would know? -Right. Like a --
-Oh gosh! Look! There's a bubble! Look at that!
-What is that? Pus? -This is the quacker.
-I pulled out the quacker. -You pulled out the quacker.
-I bet you if I put this in my mouth, I can quack.
-Do it. Try it. -No but I want to put it in cheese first.
-(quacks) -OK, I deboned my tongue, and that's
-what I'm going to dip. -I'm going to debone mine...
-in my mouth. -In your mouth.
-It's kinda like tying a knot into a cherry stem.
-Imma do that with this duck tongue. -Something tells me that this is going
to be very chewy. Okay, I like duck.
I mean, if there's a duck dish at a restaurant, I'll order it.
-I'm a fan of duck. -I am not a fan of duck.
-Never had the tongue though. You know, this duck never licked this much cheese
when it was alive. (laughter)
-I never seen a duck lick cheese. Period. I've never been by a pond and saw a group
of ducks, and I was like "Oh let's go give them some cheese."
-You usually give them just the bread. Not the cheese, but not today.
We gave this duck more cheese than you ever thought you needed. I don't know why
-I'm talking at it like it's a puppy. -"Oh, it's a purty little duck tongue."
(laughter)
--Duck Tongdue? -Yes.
(deep sigh)
-Should've took the bone out first... Oh! (chewing)
-Hold on now-- -It's so chewy!
-But it's crispy. It's ducky. -(quacks)
-(laughter) -(quacks)
-I don't have my quacker, so I can't do that.
-The quacker's still in mine. -Yeah, my quacker's out.
-I got the quacker! It's not that bad even though I know my face says that it is.
-The idea... is pretty unpleasant, but I also think that it's pretty creative,
to be able to give a duck something that it never tasted.
-While you're tasting it. -It's a way to honor the life of the duck.
-I mean, texture wise, it was unpleasant.. -(gagging)
I mean, it is the tongue of an actual duck. You know?
-(gagging) -You don't even like duck anyway, and
now you're eating the muscle that was in its-- oh there you go. You did it.
-I'm glad I didn't eat mine in the process -Here's what I'm going to say.
If the question of "Will It Fondue" is: did it make a duck tongue better than
it would have been by itself. -(both) Yeah.
-And you know what, if you dequacker it first, this is quite a conversation piece.
No pun intended. So "Will It Fondue?"
-Yes! -I'm saying yes!
