It's time for:
Food Adventure Program For Awesome People!
the we're so lazy and we're staying at home edition
*Upbeat F.A.P F.A.P Theme music*
That's not actually true, Simon, come on now
We're actually not going outside because we fear Mother Nature and the monsoon that she brings.
I blame Martina because she was talking about
"Eh, it's not raining at all! Eh, there's not a monsoon season this year! I bought all this cute rain stuff!"
And then a monsoon...
(dramatic sound effect)
Rain boots, jelly shoes...
I bought a rain jacket, I brought, like, a Sou'wester from Newfoundland...
I have like five umbrellas, and I'm like "I've got you monsoon season! I'm coming for you!"
And then nothing!
So that made me really, really, grumpy,
and the minute that I cursed it, monsoon season came upon us.
And Kitty came upon us.
Notice how I'm focusing on the camera as I'm placing the cat.
He is in full kitten mode today.
"I'm a kitty, I'm a kitty, I'm a kitty!"
Whoa! Is that...
Is that a sock monkey?
Something that you can put all of your energy into?
But that doesn't mean we're not gonna be educating you this week with Korean food sexiness!
Yeah, luckily Korean food delivery guys will go through rain or snow, or anything to deliver to our house.
So, instead of us going outside with our equipment, we're gonna make them come to us through the rain.
Cars don't actually do the delivery, it's just, like, people on scooters.
And scooters don't have to obey the traffic laws
so they can get to you a lot more quickly.
Cause like, "Is that a red light? Pssh-- I'm a scooter, I'll just drive right through it!"
Those are several things that prevent North America
from having such awesome delivery services.
We've actually seen
--and this is very common--
delivery guys with like a cigarette hanging out of their mouth
they're talking on the phone
They have a headset in one corner
and they're, like, steering with their knee
They have no helmet on, they're wearing shorts and a tanktop
and they're wearing flipflops while they drive food to my house
And I'm like, that's not safe, as you blow through a red light, clearly not paying attention.
But it is very efficient.
Yes, efficient at killing delivery guys.
And getting me food!
Hopefully no one's killed on the way to delivering us food!
To the Home-Delivery-Mobile!
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-na!
[Bonk!]
[laughing]
She's like "Ahh!" Like a jungle bunny!
I'm still trying to get to the Delivery-Mobile!
Jump out of the frame, woman!
Oh my god, I'm going!
Ne-ne-ne-ne-- Bye!
Okay, we keep all of our delivery flyers on our magnetic door
No magnetic fridge, but magnetic door
You pretty much get a flyer on your door constantly
And then we check over the flyers to see if we actually like them or not
So we want to show you guys the ones we've collected that we like
Also good, also good, also good!
Let's go to the kitchen!
Ne-ne-ne-ne-na!
This is our vast collection of food menus.
This one- comes with a cat.
This is a kind of booklet that you'll get once in a while
They have a magnetic strip built into it
To like slap it on your door and it just stays there
and you're like, "Oh look another delivery booklet."
So you got like Bossam (Korean pork dish),
you got pizza,
lots of naengmyun (Cold Noodle)
some of these places are specialty
like for example this one will only do different jjigaes (Stews) like budae jjigaes (Army Base Stew) and stuff
ice noodles like this kind.
But what we're going to order from today is one of our favorite ones:
the menu looks really intimidating,
*Horror sound effect*
But it's actually the most simple place to order from.
Basically they do the Korean fast food that we spoke about in our last TL;DR.
Okay Simon, what are you going to order from today?
I'm going for a good old fashion kimchi jjigae (Kimchi stew).
Kimchi jjigae right there, that's 5000 won,
so that's roughly 5 bucks, a little bit less.
I'm gonna go for galbitang (Beef Short Ribs Soup) right there.
That's 5500 won, so $5.50 or so.
There will be no tipping or extra cost for the delivery,
It will literally just come to our home.
And then afterwards we won't have to clean the dishes, and it's gonna be awesome.
Okay I'm calling them.
It's ringing!
(Korean) Hello! One Kimchi jjigae...yes, and one galbitang. Yes, yes.
It's that simple!
Well, I think we're a bit simpler because they know us too well. So...
We call them so much that they actually have our number on speed dial now,
so we don't have to say our address anymore.
That's why you where neigh neighing at the end like a horsey, right?
Yeah so I go like neigh neigh, that's it.
Yeah, cause they are reading us the address to confirm that it's you.
Yes, I know, some of you are gonna be like:
"Oh no, you're not supposed to say 'hana',
you're supposed to say 'ee-in-bun' or 'il-in-bun'.
We are not going to do that, the reason why is because
every time we speak to somebody in Korean,
even though we tried to pronounce
everything properly and say the proper words,
as soon as they know it's a foreigner they get into
panic mode and they can't understand us.
'il-in-bun' and 'ee-in-bun' which is one and two.
You see how the last two sound very similar?
So, we would much rather be
properly fed, than grammatically correct.
Now if this was a restaurant that I was calling for the first time
then they would ask me for my address
and on top of that they are gonna ask you for your area code
not your postal code but there is a specific area code, so they know what area they should be delivering in.
so make sure you have that all ready, and that you're comfortable enough with Korean.
Now, to set up the secret cameras so you can see the delivery guy come because
I'm sure he's going to feel very awkward.
(evil laugh)
Also! Umm...I'd like to be in pajamas.
Not happening.
Going to get in pajamas!
(doorbell ringing)
(Spudgy barks) Woo!
(Korean) Hello!
(Korean) Spudgy, come here!
I got my food and I got my food basket!
It's more like a bucket.
This is my awesome floor chair.
Place it down.
And I correct it to my height.
And then I make a big sit!
And this is Simon's floor chair.
(laughing)
And now for our spoils!
First, of course, we have two saran wraped little rice packs.
That's very normal.
Tip! Don't try to pry this open, just twist it and it snaps the plastic in half--
*Ooohh* --and you can open it. Ooohh! Ahhh--
We're not going to eat any though, because we don't eat rice anymore.
I think we're in the wrong country.
Matter of fact, wrong continent for not eating rice.
Yeah, yeah, that's okay.
This we didn't actually order specifically,
but it's a whole bunch of side dishes that came with it for free!
Free appetizers! How wonderful!
Nothing like Spam!
I like Spam!
That's definitely Spam.
[loud echo-ey voice] Stay there kitten and disturb us no more!
Good luck with that.
Go away kitty, [loud echo-ey voice] disturb us no more!!
(fake crying)
Okay, let's start with the banchan, the side dishes.
They change every time so we never know what we're gonna get.
Fried Spam! Covered in egg. Oooohhh!
That's a special one, but probably not actually trademark Spam as we've learned of course.
And that's something that I'm gonna eat.
We've got kimchi, of course, this kimchi is a little bit sour?
It's usually better if it's warmed up or cooked or like used for like pajeon or something.
So, I'm not a fan of this particular type of kimchi, kind of picky, I'm just saying?
Pickled radishes, covered in a hot sauce.
These are normally yellow. So they have just, like, pickled them.
Sesame seeds?
A little bit sour, a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, right? -A little bit of sesame oil. -Yeah.
Yeol-mul? (x2)
Yeah, it usually comes around in the summer time.
It's almost like a spinach, but it has more of like a
sour taste in the end, and they usually use it in like cold soups and stuff like that.
Very vinegar-y. -Mmm-hmm.
I like this one a lot. Really garlic-y.
I don't like it. Woah, that's some hard garlic.
I know! It's really good.
Hey-- Make sure you don't put your mouth near me when you speak.
HEY. SWEET POTATO.
HIII~
So I got the kimchi jjigae which is pretty much just kimchi stew,
You got a whole bunch of kimchi in here.
And gochujang paste (hot pepper paste). Got some onions.
Little pieces of tofu.
And I should find little pieces of...
pork in there also. That's for flavouring.
I don't actually like to eat this pork
because it's so over-boiled that it's exceptionally tough.
But it's good for flavouring of the broth.
Vegetarians beware!
Hidden pork. My soup is
overtly not vegetarian-friendly.
It is made with (loud echo-ey voice) MEAT.
I got a galbitang. Ordering galbitang from a place
like this isn't usually like the highest quality galbitang.
It's better to go to like a specialty restaurant.
But I'm not picky today, I really felt like a meat soup (?).
It will come with the whole bone inside of it
because that's what has the flavouring. And it has been boiled
for a really, really, really long time until it's super soft.
And the broth will come with usually some
clear noodle in here. And, it will come with salt
on the side. So you should add salt to this
because the broth hasn't been flavoured. Which is great for people
watching sodium. But not me-
KKSSSHH~ Dumps the whole thing in.
And now we are going to do what we always do whenever we eat food!
Watch Avatar?
NO. Not...this time.
Sexy food porn shots!
(sfps music plays)
Uhhhh...um...
Those shots didn't look that great actually.
The food taste really good, but it just doesn't
look very good...
Ah yes, home delivery doesn't really
have that "je ne sais quoi."
Kimchi jjigae tastes a lot better...
if you add a little dash of mayo to it.
Just gonna get one small little squirt. BOOM!
That's all you need.
Level up your kimchi jjigae like never before. I'm gonna start eating.
I'm eating too.
Just afraid that something might launch at the back of my head.
Spudgy's like: "I'll start eating too!" I'm sorry little guy.
Best part about home delivery--
Here are all the dishes and the old food and stuff like that.
I'm just gonna head outside with this, and I'm gonna
leave it outside my door. And they will come pick it up!
In fact, if you are too slow to put your food outside the door,
they will ring the doorbell and be like,
"Where the heck is the food, I'm coming to pick it up!"
So that's it for this week's Food Adventure Program For Awesome People!
I got so much warm soup in my stomach
and I'm ready to take a nap. Mmmm~
(purrs) Like a kitty or not like a kitty
'Cause kitties are apparently hyperactive and irritate you whole time.
(whispers) I think he's asleep!
Okay, I need a permanent marker, I need a
Meemersworth and I need some nose plugs.
The trust between us
is slowly dissolving. I'm leaving.
NO. COME BACK. (pop) (laughs)
