- That pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
is filled with vegan meats.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- "Good Mythical Morning".
- And happy St. Patrick's Day,
whether you're Irish or or just thought you were.
- No, I thought I was Scottish, but I am Irish.
- Oh right, okay.
It's fun to celebrate St. Patrick's Day
no matter who you are, because everything that has
no business being green suddenly is.
And there's corned beef
and cabbage. - Yeah.
- What are your thoughts on the corned beef and cabbage?
- Well, I like corn and I like beef.
Put them together.
- With cabbage?
- With cabbage. - It's pretty good.
- I know that's not how it's made, I love it.
I like it a lot.
- Now pretend that you're vegan
and tell all your thoughts on vegan corned beef.
- Oh, it's just like the real thing.
You should try it.
It tastes just like the real thing.
You won't be missing anything.
Just try it, trust me.
- Did you even know it existed?
- No.
- Me neither, but there is a vegan corned beef
and we're going to try it today.
And the question is, will we know it when we try it?
And as it turns out there are many vegan equivalencies
of popular deli meats.
And we're going to try all of those too.
So if you're an Irish vegan named Ruben
who really enjoys Reuben's well,
you just plucked a four leaf clover.
It's time for eating vegan deli meat
that ain't from a pig.
There are so many types, hang on.
Is that a twig?
- Just because they're plant-based
I don't think there's going to be a twig in there,
but I get the joke.
The Mythical Crew has scoured the deep vegan web
to find some of the most popular
non-meat deli meats out there.
And these meats are supposed to,
just like I just tried to act like
when I was acting like a vegan,
to taste just like their carnivorous counterparts.
- We are going to be fed these meats
by the patent pending Shamrock Shovel.
And then while still blindfolded,
try and guess what kind of meat meat they're supposed
to taste like?
And if either of us can guess correctly on the first try,
three, two, one, go,
then we'll get to dance a St Patty's Day jig
with Chase the Leprechaun.
(laughs)
In addition, if either of us guesses
the vegan corned beef on the first try,
I'm told we get a special prize.
- Special prize.
Points escalate each round and the winner
will get to wear a personalized vegan sandwich board
from Good Mythical More.
- But for now we'll just wear clashing green outfits.
(upbeat music)
As you can see, we can't.
- All right, bring in the meats.
- Well, it's not meat Rhett.
What? - Oh, oh.
That's a lot. - Uh huh.
- I wasn't expecting so much meat.
- It tastes not so much like meat.
- I would think there was something maybe a little
off about it if you said it was meat
- The more you chew it, the nastier it gets.
But that first, just the feeling of it
flapping on my tongue.
- You liked that?
- I felt like it was deli meat.
I was fooled for a second.
- All right, I got a guess.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Ham. - Roast beef.
- [Stevie] Rhett.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] Here we are in the first round.
You're eating Simple Truth,
Plant-Based Deli Black Forest ham.
And you know what else you're doing?
A little jig with Chase.
- Right off the bat, he gets a jig man.
(upbeat traditional music)
- I'm Irish and I didn't know it.
- I mean, why did you think it was ham?
It didn't taste like ham.
- Yeah, it did.
It tasted like somebody tried to make something
taste like ham, and it was the smoked flavor.
'Cause ham is usually smoked.
- Yeah, I thought it was a roast flavor.
- Oh, roast and smoked, two different things my friend.
- More meats
- You got the whole thing in your mouth?
- I think I've made some sort of a beard out of it.
I've just gone pretty similar to the previous one.
- Uh huh, I've almost got the whole thing.
- Yeah, I know.
I'm not motivated to eat the whole slice
but I will say that one tastes better
than the previous one.
- [Stevie] I will say you guys probably
have an advantage of being blindfolded while eating this,
because watching you eat it...
- It's fine.
- [Stevie] It's... interesting.
Three, two, one?
- Bologna. - Turkey.
Just Turkey.
- [Stevie] Rhett.
- Dang son.
- [Stevie] It is bologna.
Lets get that jig on.
- Light Life Smart Deli Plant-Based Bologna.
I mean, I don't know what, I guess it's...
- Hey man, my momma made me bologna sandwiches
growing up. - Yeah, I never eat bologna.
- And again, I feel like bologna is already
so processed and almost not meat anyway.
This one actually works because the texture of bologna,
I can't even get it off.
Bologna is the perfect thing to imitate.
- Very convincing.
Of course I hate bologna.
- It's not as good as a real thing,
but I think it fooled me.
- But it didn't, which frustrates me.
- Please, give me meat.
- Are you happy because you're liking these vegan meats
or just cause you're winning?
- Uh well, you know what?
A little bit of both.
Points escalate though, you could tie
just by getting this round right.
- Hmm, this one smells like dog food.
- This is awful.
- It's spongy.
- This is really bad.
Something didn't go right here.
- There's no flavor that's coming to the foreground.
It's like the texture is just very off-putting.
- I think I know what they might be trying to do though.
All right.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Roast Beef. - Roast Beef.
- [Stevie] No, you're both incorrect.
- Pork?
- [Stevie] I will say for the real thing,
like the meat version of this thing,
when you open the package, you usually get like
maybe a little farty, little fart smell.
- Salami?
A little farty?
- [Stevie] Yeah, I didn't find the wrong...
- That's usually like a smoked ham.
- Yeah, I guess it's almost with all deli meat.
That wasn't a really good hint.
I don't have written hints, I'm just going
off of experience.
- Turkey, I mean...
- [Stevie] Yeah, yeah it's turkey.
I don't know if that's jig qualifying.
Maybe you could do like some spirit fingers by yourself
for getting it right after all those hints?
- This is not great. - [Stevie] Or not.
- It's just so, why is it so thick?
- [Stevie] Thank you, Chase.
- Mushy.
If you find yourself missing out on the meats,
well go over to the Mythical Kitchen channel.
They're always cooking up crazy stuff,
many times with meat.
I mean, you got the In-N-Out crunch wrap that they made.
The $400 McRib that Rhett helped Josh out with.
And he even got mac and cheese with turkey testicles.
- Okay. - You never know what
they're going to do next over there
on the Mythical Kitchen YouTube channel.
- Okay, quick point of clarification on the scoring.
Now we're escalating points each round,
but it just doesn't seem fair for me to get three points
for saying turkey after we guessed like two or three things.
So, if you don't get it initially, you get a point.
So I'm just getting a point for the last round.
All right. - Bring it in.
Oh, hmm.
- That one's got a very peppery flavor to it.
- Not great, but not bad.
Because it has that spice added.
Is it just black pepper?
I don't know, it could be more.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Salami. - Pepperoni.
- [Stevie] So close, but Rhett yes.
- Oh, Rhett.
- [Stevie] It's salami.
Let's get that jig on. - You know
your deli meats man.
- My mama gave us a lot of deli meats.
It'll probably come back to haunt me later in life,
but it's really helping in this game.
- I only made sandwiches with things I could spread.
Not things I could slap.
- Well, it's probably better because real meat
deli products are like a level one carcinogen.
- [Stevie] This is from Eve's Veggie Cuisine.
I got to say, the look is not bad.
- And the taste isn't bad either.
Whenever you start.
- It's about...
- It's putting all together.
- The processing again, salami, super processed
just like balogna.
- If you're adding stuff to it, that helps it.
- I think I might, I'm actually thinking about
having some of this.
I don't put deli, we don't have deli meat.
Especially like really processed deli meat at the house.
Maybe I'll start doing this.
I feel good about myself.
(upbeat music)
- Okay.
Oh, salty.
- I like being fed with a shovel.
Can I just say that?
- There's like a, is that a vinegary taste?
What is that? - There's a very peppery,
peppery nature to this one as well.
- Very peppery, but like, not just black pepper
but like an like pimento-ey.
Some other type of pepper.
- Pimento-ey?
- Well, you know something pepper.
- [Rhett] All right.
- Again, this one doesn't taste bad.
- This isn't bad.
- I'm not going to complain about it.
I might even like it.
- He might like it.
- I like it.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one?
- Corned beef. - Corned beef.
- Is this it?
- [Stevie] You guys, you both got it right.
And for this round since it's Irish themed,
you get a prize.
- You get the Shamrock Shake.
- Oh really? - Hey, look at that.
- Thank you.
- I made the drink by myself.
(upbeat traditional music)
- See, I knew that corned beef was a choice.
- Oh, that's very athletic.
Very corned beefy.
- It looks nasty.
This one tastes better than it looks.
(upbeat music)
- Feed us please.
Feed us with your shovel.
- Oh, what, this is little.
- Whoa, thinking little.
- It's trying something real hard.
- Yeah, it's like a very pungent jerky flavor, you know?
- What is happening there?
That was odd.
- It's a little... - I couldn't even discern
the shape as it was happening.
- It's a little spicy.
It's a little sour.
- Oh man, I don't believe I like it.
- Now I'm feeling a residual burn.
- Okay, I mean I got to guess.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one?
- Pepperoni? - Pepperoni?
- [Stevie] Yeah, the shape maybe gave that one away.
- Well actually I thought it was shaped like that.
I didn't realize it was...
- It felt oblong the way it went in my mouth.
- [Stevie] Chase is going to jig on his own.
This is from Feed Your Head Vegan,
if you want to take a peek at the packaging.
(upbeat traditional music)
- Feed Your Head.
- It looks like a cool brand, you know?
But I think they're spending a little too much time
trying to be cool, and not enough time
making it taste like pepperoni.
- I actually, again, once you know it
and you expect it and you're looking at it,
it's not as bad.
- I love regular pepperoni.
It's one of my favorite things.
- It's not fatty or greasy of course,
so you're missing that.
Doesn't quite get there.
Hey Rhett? - Hey link.
- Hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Hey. - What's up man?
- Hey. - Hey.
- You want to make this round worth nine points,
so if I get it right, I beat you?
- Okay, you want to make it worth eight and we can tie
if you get it right?
I'll give you that.
I'll give you a tie.
- No, no I don't want that.
Don't want it.
- Okay, make it worth seven then.
- All right, seven.
(man laughs)
Thin.
- Whoa.
- It's got that dog foodie thing again, ugh.
- You don't like that, huh?
- I like dog food better.
- Hmm, I kinda like this.
It's not as good as what they're trying to make it
which I think I know what it is.
- I don't have a clue.
Okay, I got to guess, I guess.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Pastrami. - Roast beef.
- [Stevie] Well, you've done it, Rhett.
You've gotten the queen sweep this time.
And let's jig it up.
- That's pretty impressive, man.
You know your deli meats.
That's something to really brag to your friends about.
Like go to parties and just talk about how you know meats.
- Well, here's the thing, here's the thing.
- Give him the prize, where is it?
- Oh, look.
- It's a sandwich board, you can wear it.
- It's a sandwich board, I'm gonna wear it.
- A sandwich board, I get it.
Winner winner vegan chicken dinner.
Well, if I would have won would I have had to...
Oh cool, there it is on your backside.
- You didn't though.
Here's the thing though Link, when you have this skill,
what I have done right now is the best
you can possibly do in life with this skill.
This is as useful as this skill gets
is winning a game on a dumb internet show, Mom.
You got to tell my mom about this later
'cause the top-down cam is not here today,
so I can't speak to her.
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is?
- Hi, I'm Austin.
- I'm Joey.
- And I'm Jasmine.
- We're at Noble Farms here in Ohio
and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- It's a one.
(laughs)
- It's a one, what does that mean?
- We don't even have a one.
- Click the top link to watch us
pair vegan cheeses with those vegan meats
that we just enjoyed.
And Good Mythical More.
And to find out whether...
- [Woman] Ketchup is a smoothie.
- [Man] Yeah, I put ice in my cereal, so what?
- [Woman] That makes no sense.
- [Man] Hotdog is a sandwich.
- [Woman] A hotdog is a sandwich.
(laughs)
- [Man] What?
