- [Producer] Today guys, you're gonna be trying Shrooms.
- What? - Shrooms?
- Right, what? Hold on now, hold on now.
We allowed to do this now?
(upbeat music)
- Are we taking shrooms?
- Are we?
- I hope not, I've got stuff to do this evening.
- [Producer] You ever had Shrooms before?
- Nope. - No.
Not in the way that you probably mean it.
- Not at all. - Actually, not at all.
- If it's pure mushroom though, you know what I mean,
they're gonna have to flavor it up though,
I'm not gonna lie.
- They'll have to do something to it.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music slowed down)
- Like, you'd walk into a shop in Amsterdam and buy that.
- It looks like the mushroom's out of a fry.
- That looks like a mummified dick.
- Why did the fungus leave the party?
Because there wasn't mushroom.
- This is something that you'd buy
from a hippy down an alleyway.
- It's like nature's snot.
- Why did the other mushroom stay at the party?
- Don't know. - He was a fungi.
(Clisare laughs)
- Wonder what the journey would be like
after eating a few of these.
- Okay, you're not gonna be like going off like,
trying to fly or anything.
- [[Producer]] No, this isn't like,
a six hour video, don't worry.
- I gotta be honest, I don't love it.
- Do you not? - No.
- Do you like mushrooms in a fry?
- Yeah. - So do I,
but these just don't feel like the same thing.
- Oh actually, this is so rotten
I'm doing a Wallace and Gromit face.
- It makes me think that you could make jerky
out of anything, because it just tastes so like jerky,
even though the texture's different.
- I can't get over the texture.
- It's a bit slimy. - Oh.
- Jerky is supposed to be dry and hard,
and something to chew on and be like, "yum, I'm a cave woman,"
but this is like, "oh dear, well, granny's dentures
might fall out so let's bust out the original portabella."
- Yeah, fuck it, I'll eat that.
- Why is your head made of liquid?
(Clisare laughs)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music slowed down)
- Shrooms crispy mushroom snack,
I like the front of it, very psychedelic.
- Listen.
(Shroom dinging)
- Oh , they're crunchy. - They're hard, yeah.
- I reckon these were aimed at a specific market.
I won't say what it is,
but these are definitely aimed at a specific market.
- Oh, I just made one into dust by accident,
that's my night.
- You're gonna snort some Shrooms?
That sounds like an anti-drug instructional video
from like the Sixties.
- Hey Jimmy, you wanna snort some shrooms
with me after class?
No, but my mom said it could kill me.
No, come on Jimmy.
- Oh golly, I'm not sure I should eat these shrooms.
That was more Mickey Mouse than anything.
- [Both] Ha-ha.
(MC laughs)
- Here we go. - You wanna go first?
- Sláinte. - Cheers.
- That's some crispy shit right there, (laughs).
- It's not bad actually. - These are pretty good,
'cause you can't tell they're mushrooms.
- Oh heavens no.
- Actually, I fuck with them, do you not like them?
- No.
- Oh, I like these way better.
- Mm, they're lovely.
- That is the worst after taste, oh my god.
- That is a Trojan horse.
That like tries to lull you into a false sense of security
saying," we're not mushrooms,"
and then it's like, "we're mushrooms."
- It genuinely tastes like licking a brown boot
that your grandad used to go ballroom dancing in,
like you know that leather taste?
- Oh, it does actually, yeah.
I don't hate it though.
- If you're saying to somebody, you know,
I'm gonna go and have a snack,
you wouldn't go over like and snack on mushrooms.
- I have never tasted something
with such an unbelievably powerful aftertaste.
- And if these were salt and vinegar,
or, oh my god, even better yet, what if this was barbecue?
Oh my god.
- But you could eat these in the cinema,
you could eat them on the bus,
you could eat them on the train,
you could eat them on the toilet, like, anywhere.
- There can't be an after taste
if you don't stop eating, so.
- Oh... godspeed Darren.
It tastes spiky, it's like the flavor gets really spiky,
and it like, attacks your tongue.
See now, yeah, I knew that would happen.
- The aftertaste caught up with me.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music slowed down)
- Okay, we got. - Oh my god, oh my god,
please tell me they're hot spicy.
- They are.
- Pizza flavored. - Ooh!
- Pizza. - Oh my god!
- No way!
- I didn't even read it until you said.
I've had mushroom pizza, now I'm having pizza mushrooms.
- This is like meta.
- This is. - Mindblowing.
- Insane.
- Satisfy your craving for a uniquely delicious snack
like no other you've ever tasted.
How many people sit at home and go, "oh my god,
I am just craving a uniquely different snack,
that I've never tasted."
(Clisare laughs)
- Satisfy your cravings for a uniquely delicious snack
like no other you've ever tasted.
- I'm getting some deja vu over here.
- So, this is gonna taste like pizza for a second
and then it will take like mushrooms.
- All right, let's go.
- (retching) There it is.
- That sounded like an outtake, from that song,
"I said, (retches) there it is,
I said, (retches) there it is."
- It does taste like a cheap pizza.
- God, it tastes very like pizza.
- They need a dip, they need a dip definitely.
- They just don't look appetizing,
like that looks like somebody's ear.
- It fucking does and all.
- [MC] Actually look like a cartoon character,
you genuinely do, you're like something out of Roald Dahl,
like it's Darren, the lowly wax guy.
- [Producer] Would this replace any kind of snack
that you currently have?
- Absolutely not.
- If only there was another vegetable
that you could add flavor to and sell in a small packet.
(Clisare laughs)
- Put that your salsa dip, oh yeah.
- Oh, man.
- Make it crunchy think, put it in your noodles.
Oh yeah, put them in your noodles, definitely.
- Put them in a salad instead of croutons.
- Yes, now we are finding a place in the world for them.
- Put them on a pizza.
- Yeah!
- Pizza flavored mushrooms on a pizza, yeah man.
- Why didn't we think of that at the beginning?
- And then put that pizza on another pizza,
and serve it on a plate of mushrooms.
- Oh yeah, now that's confusing.
- [Producer] Overall thoughts on the pizza Shrooms?
- What?
You'll have to speak up, I've got mushrooms in my ears.
(MC laughs)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music slowed down)
- Oh.
- A mushroom that's really gooey, (retches).
- Roasted teriyaki.
- Teriyaki is, just teriyaki and jerky,
whoever invented it, and put them together, (claps).
- Gonna set my mind to a different place,
and imagine it's a different thing.
- This looks like bits of skin that have fallen off here.
- Oh my god, oh yuck.
- I like the teriyaki flavor, I'm in there for that.
- It just tastes like the first one.
- That just tastes like jerky.
- The texture of this one is better than the first one.
- Yeah, it's not as gooey.
- It's just the texture, I can't cope.
It's like eating leather.
- Taste-wise, absolutely delicious though.
- The taste is grand,
I just kind of get on board with the texture.
- Better than the original flavor.
So they did a good job of flavoring something,
that their idea of it.
- Maybe I'm set in my ways,
maybe I'm not akin to broadening my horizons,
and "oh, look at the Irish girl
go off and eat some mashed potatoes," I will,
and I won't have mushrooms with it, because they're shite.
- Once again, The TRY Channel has given me,
like a sense experience that I've never had before.
(Clisare laughs)
It's like, what, the texture is just like,
I've never had something like this in my mouth ever.
- Even though they're juicy, they're just sucky-outta-ya.
Whatever suckyy-outta-ya means. - Sucky-outta-ya.
(laughing)
- What the, (chokes).
Like, that nearly just got me man,
that nearly killed me, the Shrooms nearly killed me.
(Paddy laughs)
- Oh man, I think we've had too many Shrooms, (laughs).
- Yeah, watch your Shroom intake.
- No, that shroom experience was groovy, man.
- It was completely shroomey, yeah.
- Science has gone too far.
We did not need to turn mushrooms into jerky.
- But now that you say about the squiggly ones,
they would go nice in a lasagna or something like that.
Throw the flavored mushrooms into things.
Like, they've actually revolutionized
flavoring mushrooms more so than having a snack here,
you know, put them in you cupboard for baking.
- Colin, here's the, you don't know what's gonna happen
in a few hours, we could be sitting at home on the couch
and the world is gonna get turned upside down
or something, you don't know.
We could be like, "oh yeah, that was a great video,"
and then we go home and be like, whoa.
(tense music)
Jesus, oh my god, I can see happiness.
- I can taste sight.
- Why are my clothes getting smaller?
