- (FBE) Today, you'll be eating this.
- Ooh, okay.
Exciting.
What in the Nine Hells is that?
- Oh!
It looks like an intestine.
- It looks almost like a brain type of situation.
That's exciting.
- Maybe intestines, but I think it looks like brains.
- This is like something that I feel like I've seen in my biology class.
- Can I touch it?
Eugh!
- Ooh, is that moving?!
Yo, I thought it moved for a second.
- (murmuring)
Why did I do that?!
There's a first time for everything
and, unfortunately, my first time is today.
- (FBE) And now you get to taste it. - Ooh!
Fancy.
- Ooh, this is fancy.
It's sushi now.
- All right, YOLO.
Oh... hold up.
Ooh, that aftertaste-- that aftertaste.
It's just like mush of nastiness.
- All right, here we go.
It's weird because it tastes like it smells.
- (mumbling)
It's not bad.
I kind of want to finish it now.
It's like when you eat a hard boiled egg.
It tastes kind of like the cooked yolk.
- It does have a very fishy taste, but it's actually not bad.
It's really good.
- Ew.
Ew, I hate the texture.
It's sort of slimy, a little, like a little slimy,
but mostly just rubbery.
- I'm going to go all in and then... we'll see.
It's... kind of grainy.
Does that make sense?
But not, like, sandpapery.
It looks meh and it tastes meh.
- Hmmm, it's okay.
It's definitely salty.
I probably won't eat a whole meal of it,
but, I mean, just taking a few bites of it was fine.
- Hmmm.
Whatever it is, I'd eat it again.
Once you eat it, it's almost like a pâté kind of situation.
- You do not want to smell my breath right now.
- (FBE) You just ate shirako. - Shirako.
Never heard of it.
- (FBE) Shirako is cod milt, so to put it in more familiar terms,
it's fish semen. - (gasping) Oh my god!!!
No way!
Yo! Yo!
'Ey. 'Ey. Come on. Come on now.
- Oh... (queasily) oh.
- Well...
- That's not bad! (laughing)
I'd eat it twice.
- (groaning) Oh my god!
My mom is going to watch this! (embarrassed laughter)
- (FBE) In Japanese cuisine, the milt of cod, anglerfish, salmon,
squid and pufferfish are all considered a delicacy.
- I mean, it doesn't taste bad.
It is a very mild flavor.
- It was actually pretty good,
so I could see how it's a delicacy.
- I can't argue with their culture. (chuckling)
If that's what they like, that's what they like.
- Thumbs up for you guys, but I don't know, man.
This one might not be the one for me.
- (FBE) So for the poll, do you recommend that people eat shirako?
- Absolutely.
- Yeah, I mean, why not?
- You only live once.
Try everything at least twice.
- No. No. Nay. Nada.
Nay. No bueno.
- Yes! It's good to step outside your culinary comfort zone.
- I wouldn't recommend it.
I just ate fish semen! Are you serious?
- It actually doesn't taste bad.
Give it a shot.
Is there... is there anymore?
- I say go for it.
Don't let them tell you what is until after you eat it,
but definitely try it. (laughing)
