- I have no idea what a Hatch chile, chicken, what?
No chicken all right.
(catchy instrumental playing)
- As long time TRY Channel viewers and a recent resident of Texas,
we hope you enjoy this box of Hatch Chile flavoured snacks.
- While the Hatch Chile is grown in New Mexico,
it's been described as the pumpkin spice of the Southwest.
Because its flavours end up in everything towards the end of
summer.
- We haven't tried any of these yet,
so we hope they're good.
Thanks, Ketzel, Shanna and Bill.
- We haven't tried them, but you can.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- We've never tasted these in our lives,
but we hope you like them.
- But that's what we do, so.
- That's what we're here for.
- Thank you very much.
- Oh, I thought they were gonna be like sauces.
So they're actually like, properly like snacks.
- Hatch Cheddar made with Hatch chile pepper
and white cheddar cheese seasoning popcorn.
- I have never had popcorn on The TRY Channel before.
- Neither have I.
- I've never even seen it, I don't think, have I?
Not in real life, I mean on a TRY shoot.
- You've never seen popcorn before.
- What is this?!
- You could enjoy these as a party of one,
or buy several bags and let the things
mushroom into a full out par-tay. Like a fancy word, party.
As they call it party, par-tay.
- Well, let's see what this is like, Hatch Cheddar.
- Here we go, smells lovely.
(scoffs)
- Isn't the same crunch
because it's so saturated with like cheese in it.
- Yeah it's very soft.
- I like it.
- There is nothing small about the flavour.
- No. The flavour is extreme.
There's not a very strong cheesy taste off that,
which I like, cause I don't like cheese,
but I'm getting the spicy little bit.
- Maybe because of the sweetness of the Hatch pepper,
it doesn't really mix well with popcorn,
'cause popcorn is kind of sweet as well,
it can kind of be made to be sweet.
- Still tickles the back of your throat.
It's kind of a smokey spice. The sixth Spice Girl.
that was never in the band because of her bad habits.
- There's a lot of it.
You can fill like a large bowl with that,
and you'd have, as they say a par-tay with your popcorn.
- I would say though,
like if you were in a cinema eating days,
I'd be very self-conscious of anybody sitting
to my left or my right for the burst of cheese
and spice flavour that they would have to sit in my aromas,
Smell my cheesiness!
(catchy instrumental tune)
- What are we looking at?
- Hatch Chile Brownie Bites.
- Love to just serve someone this in a restaurant,
not tell them what they brings and then just give them this.
It's like, huh?
Is this going to be sweet or savoury or cold or hot or what?
- You know what? Will I eat it without knowing what it is.
- Do it.
- Should be spicy, but you know what I'd say,
if they're brownie bites they should be good. I'm guessing.
- I hope, I hope, I'm trying one.
- Oh.
- They really are brownie bites inside.
- Quite hard so I'm just presuming it's a mint.
- That's a rock.
(chuckles)
I heard that.
- Chocolatey.
- Yeah.
- Is it chocolates?
- Hatch Chile Brownie Bites.
- That's insane. I love that.
- Looks can be deceiving.
- I'm not getting any chile.
- I'm getting a bit of it in the aftertaste
but not so much in the initial bite.
- I don't like that at all.
- I am such a fan.
- For such a little eggy-like specimen...
- Packs a punch doesn't it?
- It does.
- I mean, they're not, let's be real,
they're not brownie bites. They're chocolates.
There's nothing really brownie about them.
We have polar opposite taste buds.
- It's gas, isn't it?
- It is gas.
- Oh just we're having a ball, you know, we're just...
- Having a ball!
(hysterical laughter)
(gasps)
- Ooh, put these in your popcorn, mix them around,
instead of Maltesers.
- Chile overload would be if you put these in your popcorn.
- Oh my God.
- Oh, I'm getting the odd little, like, hello from that hatch
- There it is. Little sparkle.
- You can juggle?
- Well, we'll see.
Oh, there we go.
- That's why they're called Hatch things,
cause they look like eggs.
- [Producer] No because it's Hatch Chile.
That's the name of the chile.
- Oh all right.
(laughs hysterically)
- [Producer] It's the thing the whole video's about.
- What?
- Chile biscuits.
- Oh, I love Colin's throws.
- Hatch Chile and Sweet lime sandwich cookies.
- Why? It smells of cinnamon. It smells-- oh fuck!
- Fuck.
- Bang of cinnamon and lime.
- I can taste more lime.
- It smells like Fireball Whiskey nearly.
- Anything lime, I've said it a million times,
anything lime to me reminds me of washing up liquid,
every time.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- That sounds amazing.
- Wow!
- They're like very sophisticated Oreos.
- I'm really, I feel I'm going to really like this.
- I feel like you are, yeah. And I'm not going to like it.
This doesn't make sense.
- It's subtle, but it's creamy.
- It's a little Oreo esque anyway,
even the flavour of the actual like contents. Yeah.
- Good?
- Wait, the lime came to save the day,
oh, we're back in business. My God.
- Oh a little bit went into my throat now.
Oh no, oh no. Do not. Do not laugh while you're eating
these because here it is.
- Please don't die.
- Like surely a biscuit should be just a biscuit. You know.
Nobody really says do you know what? Me custard cream is nice,
but if only it was goddamned chile flavoured.
- It's more like it's a spice than a chile spice.
It's like, it's a cinnamon or a ginger spice level to it.
- Yeah I'm getting a tiny bit of heat.
Do you know what it reminds me of?
It does kind of remind me of a ginger nut biscuit.
- I enjoy it, it's nice to try.
But like in reality, would you sit there and have a cup
of tea with chile biscuits?
- Well you wouldn't dip in your tea.
Like who'd want to dip chiles in their tea?
- Whoa, what! Mr. Kipling would fucking turn in his grave.
- Just mad though, isn't it?
That like, these are in existence.
It's just a mad combination altogether now,
that us Irish people would definitely not be used to.
- It's a biscuit breaking the rules.
Yeah.
But that is not the way the cookie crumbles, if you ask me.
- Do you know what?
I honestly think you just sit in your car before a TRY shoot
to figure out all this and go right,
we're getting this one in today, Justine.
- Oh, wow, it's a...
- It's a big lump of hash.
- Hatch Chile.
- Cocoa-esque.
- So most of these are from Central Market
if any of youse Americans want to buy.
- Ooh it looks like a beautiful, like pottery thing.
- Yeah. I was going to say that's like a slab of plaster
or something like that.
- It's a big lump of Hatch.
- You get stopped by the guards if you had it.
If you had a lump of this in your pocket.
"What have you got in your pocket there?"
"It's a bit of Hatch."
(laughing)
- Looks like a ruin, that you dig up and you put in a museum.
- Indiana Jones would find that.
didn't find your piece though, did he not?
Oh, you have the bar!
What did you think I was holding an empty wrapper,
just watch you. Justine tell me the flavours.
- Oh yeah.
- Oh wow it's very crumbly.
- Oh!
- Random kick every now and again. Of spice.
- That's nice. I like that.
- That's really sophisticated.
- It almost tastes like you're drinking or eating
cocoa powder or-- Doesn't it?
- Definitely, you can taste that's dark chocolate.
- Yeah and it's processed milk in it.
- It's very butter-- or bitter. (laughs)
- Like I'm not the biggest fan of dark chocolate,
but that's just really nice.
- Tastes more like an ingredient.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it is.
- If you were cooking a chile at home,
and you know how sometimes people put in a square or two of
dark chocolate to make it rich? This would be perfect.
- Yeah, yeah.
- You don't know what I'm talking about.
- No, no.
(laughter)
- Oh.
- Oh, oh. Oh I thought it was Mr. Freeze.
- I thought it was a Mr. Freeze as well.
- It's a big long Hatch Green Chile Beef Biltong stick.
- Biltong.
- This is like a distant relative of Beef jerky
that shows up at the funeral looking for its inheritance.
- Oh, and gets, like, drunk at Christmas.
- Whoa. What the fuck?
- Oh my god, it's very dry.
- Oh Ooh.
- Oh.
- You know when the Nazi turns to dust in Indiana Jones?
It's a bit like eating his leg bone.
- Somehow it's drier than the usual jerky.
- No, I don't like that.
- No! Hah.
- It's like licking the windowsill of an old folks' home.
- Yes
- Isn't it.
- It's okay. There's definitely more exciting things.
Exciting ways to get your Hatch fix.
- How does it pass the US inspection
from the department of agriculture? How did that pass that?
- I was expecting so much more like my experience with jerky
on this channel has been great so far, but this is...
- Awful.
- Superior taste, my hole!
There is not a bit of taste superior on that.
- Pecan Brittle?
- Pecan Brittle.
- Uncle Ray's Hatch Chile Pecan Brittle, I love pecans.
- This is such a variety of things.
- It really is.
- We had popcorn and we've had meat and we've had chocolates
and we've had little balls of brownies.
- It really is Hatch Chile everything.
- I love a good pecan.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- What's the dessert that has the pecan in it?
- Pecan pie. - No.
- Oh... Aw...
Thought it was that.
- You can skim this across the lake.
- You could, I wonder how many rocks--
- Probably eat it first.
- Hmm.
- It's like a Daim or a Daim bar.
- I like that.
- I don't know if that was that breaking on me tooth.
- Oh wow. It's like a really nice cereal or something.
- I don't taste the chili though, to be honest.
BUt that's some delicious brittle.
- The flavor of the pecans is lonely.
- It's such a foreign experience to me, but I like it.
- It's a whole new world Jamie, a whole new world.
- Tastes like porridge.
- And for a brittle,
it's actually not too hard on the teeth, it's a little hard
but once you bite into it it kind of just melts away.
- Oh, I have a bit of, I have a bit of chile.
Yeah. It's there, it's only very short though.
It kind of like stabs you and runs away.
- Ye-- oh...
- That seems quite severe to be honest, as a flavour.
Maybe waves and runs away.
- You need teeth, though to eat it.
You couldn't eat that if you had no teeth.
- Oh no.
I feel like I already have to go to the dentist after this.
- Yeah.
- Really, I think the Hatch overall
it's just like this kind of flavour that adds to things
but it's very subtle that I can't even like
distinguish what it is.
- I'm glad that we both liked it. Look at us.
- Look at us.
- Who'd have thought it?
- Not me.
- Well what a weird and wonderful journey.
- Thanks for sending them. If you did try them,
please do comment and let us know if you did like them.
- I like this season.
I like there to be seasons of food.
Like why can't we have pumpkin spice season
and Hatch season?
I want there to be a you know,
celebration for every day of the year.
