It's time for Food adventure program for awesome people!
The SPAM edition!
[funky FAPFAP music~]
It's Chuseok in Korea again, and for those of you that don't know what Chuseok is
we have a bunch of videos we did before which explain those.
Erm... That didn't really explain anything except for the fact that Seoul kind of gets empty...
Yeah. Essentially Chuseok is a time period for people to go back to their hometown
where they were born and
visit their family
And pay tribute to their dead ancestors by cleaning the graves
and having meals with them.
Now one of the things that happens during Chuseok is that you bring gifts to the families that you're staying with.
And what's interesting about the gifts is a lot of the gifts that people give are foods.
[S] So you see these giant fruit boxes or fruit baskets. [M] For like 88 dollars.
[S] 88 bucks, a 100 bucks. [M] Like gourmet fruits
You'll see like meat boxes for like 200 bucks.
And one of our favorite boxes that we ever see
are SPAM boxes.
Yes, people give SPAM as gifts.
That's right. You can do shampoo, soap, or you know what? SPAM.
It even comes in it's own little SPAM bag.
So today we decided to explore the SPAM side of Chuseok.
And we're gonna do a little taste test of all the various SPAMs we can get our hands on.
[S] One hand. [M] And by.
[M] Just one. [S] There are four hands between us but we will only get one hand of them.
[S] You know what, I bet you we probably could have got a lot more SPAM if we use our other hands. [M] True.
Now one of the things that's really interesting about SPAM is that
to us, SPAM is just a general category for all that fake stodgy luncheon meat.
But in Korea, 'SPAM' the brand is like the Louis Vuitton of luncheon meat.
[S] And they have lots of other like knock-off SPAMS around here that people eat. [M] Yes.
I personally consider prosciutto to be the Louis Vuitton of luncheon meats.
But whatever, you know, shakes your boat.
[S] I think you mean to say floats your boat. [M] What. Why would I say floats your boat.
Why would anyone say that? Every boat floats.
If it doesn't float then it's not a boat.
[S] Ok. And you know what. [M]That's a dumb phrase. Whatever floats your duck~
And if you shake your boat then it has more impact on the passengers
[S] because if you just like float in the boat [M] Creates a wave and stuff.
then its just like you're regular but if you shake the boat then it's more impactful
[S] to you as a boat passenger. [M] That's right.
So whatever shakes your boat people.
Whatever shakes your boat.
[S] You heard it here on Eat Your Kimchi first. [M] Are you making fun of me?
*Singing* That's all I need to hear from you. Huuuu wuuuuu.
To the gourmet kitchen! Nananana nanana~
We don't really have a...
We need more.
We need more rooms.
Good evening Sir.
I'm your waitress tonight.
This course will be a single onion slice.
Enjoy. Bon appetit.
Thank you.
Mmmm. It has hints of fresh onion in there.
And... Is that SPAM I smell?
I do smell SPAM. This is one of the SPAM brands.
[FAPFAP music]
Let us begin!
Oh it really smells like onion
Yup that's SPAM alright.
I will say this.
The packaging said that it's good for sandwiches and stuff so I guess if you're too busy to cut a
raw onion into your sandwich,
you can just use this one which actually has chunks of onions somwhere in here.
We right now are having a SPAM sandwich except we're doing the low carb version.
Without the bread.
I think we've eaten enough of this.
I agree.
Verdict is: gua gua~
Please, waitress Soozee.
[SZ] Here's your water. [M] Thank you.
How did you like the SPAM?
It was super duper. We're finished.
It was very aromatic. Thank you.
You didn't finish your piece?
We're saving our room for our
[S] Main course. [M] Next part. Yes.
[M] Oh god. She's judgmental. [S] She's on to us.
Here comes the second course.
The second course is garlic.
[S] Garlic. [M] Garlic.
It's our restaurant special SPAM I hope you enjoy.
Hey, I think you can use garlic SPAM in such moments as...
turning off bad dates.
[S] If you want to poison your vampire boyfriend. [M] That's right.
Very juicy As you can see.
Beautiful and fresh.
Annnnd, Voila!
[SZ ]Enjoy. [S+M] Thank you Soozee.
[M] Fresh garlic meat aroma. [S] Whoa. It smells like meaty garlic.
This will really be the best anti-date food I can possibly think of.
Worse than caesar salad. And I just ahjumma-ed a little.
[M] You heard my like 'pppooossibly think of'. [S] Yup.
[FAPFAP music]
I've heard that in France, they like to put the SPAM juice there.
[M ]Oh you should share some for yourself. [S] No, it's all. I love you so much.
[S] I give you all the SPAM juice. There you go. [M] You really should.
Thank you for that.
[S] And I heard that in France they lick the plates also. [M] No, I don't want to be rude.
[M] In fact, I insist. I insist. [S] No, I love you so much.
[M] Here we go. [S] It really smells like dog food.
Yup. It's SPAM alright.
I don't actually taste anything garlicky, do you?
I do. A lot of garlic. You know why? You didn't have the juice part.
No, no! That's fine. No. Whoa.
The garlic kickback just happened. Right now.
Vroom vroom vroom vroom.
We're in a French restaurant. You're embarrassing me.
*Je suis un avion* (I am a plane)
[S] *MAYDAY, Manger le SPAM* [M] No runway, look close...
[S] Can you taste the garlic in it now? [M] Yup.
[M] I don't wanna fill up. [S] I know. I definitely want to save some more space for...
[S] the main course.
I think we should have a budae jjigae party tonight.
*sings* Ain't no party like a budae jjigae party. Hey!
Soozee!!!
Thank you.
It was delicious.
Yes it was. Thank you very much.
Would you like your main course?
[S] Yes. I am ready to proceed. [M] Yes Please.
Oh boy. I am so excited for the next installment of SPAM.
For your last course, we have bacon.
How would you like the bacon?
[S] Out of the can please. [M] Yes.
Okay, this is how we french koreans do.
Is there any word for french koreans?
Oh. I have never heard of that before.
I hear the ahjussi clearing of the throat when they're excited.
So, I have a question....
Ohhhhh my......
Nonono, you're supposed to lick that. That's how they do here.
Lick lick. There you go.
Chanel bacon number 5?
Can I swirl it in my cup first?
[M] You wanna taste test it, Simon? [S] Nono I'll be okay. No.
Yes.
[S] I'm sad its so appetizing. [M] Thank you.
Allow me to cut this for you this time.
That would be for me.
The little piece.
And since you are the dothraki man warrior.
I'm gonna give you that right there.
[M] And we can't forget! [S] No! I'm gonna give it to you because I love you so much...
[M] I'm gonna make little important lines in between. [S] I had last time.
[S] I'm the one that had the SPAM juice last time. [M] Which allows it to soak right
Ohhh look at that.
[FAP FAP Music]
Shall we dig in?
[M] Whoa it does smell like bacon. [S] Does it smell very bacon-y?
Actually the consistency is less smooth.
The other ones had like, a smoothness to them but this one kind of has a grittiness to them.
I love my meat gritty.
Oh my.
That taste like crispy bacon that was put into a blender
and then served up on a spoon.
That's what this taste like. Bacon mousse.
Well, I've had my fill of the day.
Actually this one's pretty good.
[S] This one's the best one. [M] to be honest.
Man is this salty.
This is my third piece I'm about to eat out of sheer hunger right now.
I've given up after one. I'm saving myself for real food afterwards.
Nonono. Kai bai bo.
Kai bai bo to vroom vrooms.
*singing*
It's way too salty for me.
It is too salty. I'm just going to enjoy the remaining of my water.
I'm just smelling the can.
Okay. Let's bring that can over.
[M] Thank you Soozee. It was the best of the three. [S] Thank you.
You Americans?
Yes.
[S+M] Thank you. [SZ] Please come again.
[M] We will. [S] Will do.
Yes we will.
Plenty of times.
We will certainly enjoy that.
So, I think we've reached our salt maximum for the month.
I've never. I can't talk. I feel really ill.
So my question for you guys is that if you use SPAM at home, I wanna know how you use it
and if you are in Korea, and you've seen SPAM other ways that we haven't seen it,
please let us know. Perhaps there are some creative uses for garlic SPAM that we are unaware of.
Happy Chuseok everyone. Don't eat as much SPAM as we did.
I just burped from my mouth. It's coming up my nose.
Okay.
*singing*
