(Rhett) Christmas dinner ain't what it used to be.
(Link) Let's talk about that.
(Link) Gooooood Mythical Morning!
(Rhett) When you think of Christmas food you probably think of some ham. Maybe spiral cut - that's my favourite
Some turkey.
Uh.. There's gotta be some gravy.
Fruitcake.
(both) Candycane.
(Rhett) Fruitcake, uhh.. grab some fruit out of a fruitcake with candycanes (Link) Mhmmm..
But back in the 50's and the 60's
..things were a little different.
(Link) Mhm, and by "different" we apparently mean "horrifying".
Now, we're gonna be eating some stuff
that's gonna be served to us
vintage Christmas recipes
We don't know what they are yet, but umm..
I'm told, that some of them are so unbelievable,
we're gonna think that they're fake
(Rhett) Yes. (Link) Therefore, uh, we have constructed a game.
Where the crew is going to present a list of vintage Christmas recipes to us.
We'll have to decide if they're real or fake. And then if they're real,
we're gonna have to eat them
Let's play...
"Is that Vintage Christmas Recipe Real? or Really Fake?"
(Rhett) Okay, here's how it's going to work:
We're gonna hear the recipe for the item read to us by Stevie.
We have to guess just based on the recipe wether or not it's real or fake
and then it will be revealed to us
and if it's real, it will be there and whoever got it wrong will have to eat it.
(Link) oooh
(Rhett) All right, you ready? (Link) Let's do it.
Round one:
(Link) And here it is- a nicely wrapped present
But does it have a weird recipe in it?
I don't know yet!
(Rhett) Stevie, tell us about it
(Stevie) Cranberry mayonnaise jello salad candles:
Simply mix cranberries, walnuts, oranges, and mayonnaise
into a delicious candle shaped jello mold,
shove a real candle in the middle and then light it on fire!
(Rhett) First of all, I appreciated that.
That was very Christmas-y
(Link) and the announcer voice, that's good too.
(Rhett) But was it real?
(Rhett) Candles? (Link) It was-
(Rhett) With candles in them? (Link) Candles in it- and then a candle on it
(Link) and mayonnaise and fruit?
(Rhett) Sounds delicious.
(Link) Okay, uhh
(Link) Lets give our answer (Rhett) Okay
Stevie: Okay. 3..2..1
(Both) Real
(Rhett) Oh! You-
(Rhett) Ah-Hey!! (Link) Haha Hey!
(Link) So we're both right!
Ooh! Gosh, look at that
(Link) Shaky, shaky! Light it up! (Rhett) Well, at least we don't have to eat it!
(Link) Do we have a lighter?
(Chase) Oh yeah
(Stevie) Well, guys I forgot to tell you
if you- whoever get it wrong has to eat it,
but if you both get it right,
you both have to eat it too.
(Rhett) Oh come on! (Stevie) That's just the side match of the game
(Rhett) What kind of Christmas rule is that?
(Link) Where's your Christmas spirit, announcer Stevie?
Okay
(Rhett) It looks like cat food for a cat that's been naughty
(Link) Let me smell it
(Link) Smells like a burning candle. (Rhett) Link! You almost put the freaking-
-You realize there's heat
-You know what's happening there with the flame,
-Is that light and heat -Makes hotness
-Energy! -Yes
-That's what fire is
-You almost put it in one of your nostrils
- So there's cranberries, candle wax-?
-It's cranberries, walnuts, oranges, and mayonnaise.
-Where did you get the candle wax?
-It is a candle
-Oh it is a candle
-I thought there was candle- -There's candle wax??
-'Cause you know you can make a candle without wax
-I was so distracted by just the announcer-ness of her voice. -In my neck of the woods,
Candles are always made out of wax
-It smells like mayonnaise, that's the
-Well, what's wrong with that? -Well, it actually is a recipe
that was published in 1960
in a ad for Hellman's mayonnaise
so it is a lot of mayonnaise
-Dink! -Merry Christmas!
-I like it!
*crew laughs*
Light my candle baby!
Goin' back in!
What's wrong with that Link? Nothing!
-It tastes like it has crayons in it or something
I'm convinced there's wax in it
Like, you can't tell me there's not.
-There's not wax in it
It's like a jello salad kinda thing
-It's very sweet and then this
this like, mayonnaise heaviness hits you
-Now, what about this? Is that-
-That's not edible
-That's parsley
-Actually, I think it probably is
-You know what, I'll put this in the trash
-Oh, We'll save the rest of that for later
Round 2
-Wow -Chase, did you do this?
-Yep
-You can go work at Belk
-Alright, tell us about it announcer Stevie
-Frosty the Spam-Man:
Combine four cans of spam,
some bread crumbs, and clear gelatin in a blender.
Next, dump it out into that snow man shaped cake pan
you definitely already have.
Allow the mixture to set overnight.
In the morning, frost him with some mayonnaise aspect
and give him a fun hot dog for a nose.
-Breadcrumbs, spam, and gelatin
-molded into a- -In the shape of Frosty the Snowman
-With a hot dog for a nose?
-It, I mean, I'm in
-The hot dog for a nose.. I don't know
-Better than a carrot
-So you're hoping it's real. Alright.
-Here we go 3..2..1..
-Fake -Fake
-The hot dog for the nose
-The hot dog for the nose really threw it off
-OH! Look at that! -Oh!Oh-hoh
-It's a Christmas troll. Look at that. -TROLLED
-We've been troll- We weren't trolled
-So we both have to- -We trolled the troll
-We both have to eat this troll?
Round 3
-Alright, let's hear that recipe.
-Trim-a-Tree Dip:
Take cream cheese, blue cheese, cheddar cheese,
Worcestershire sauce and onions
and mold them into a cone shaped tower of doom.
Then, surround it with everyone's
favorite witch finger food: Bugles.
As an added bonus,
why not shove some pimentos in there
so they look like worms trying to escape.
-Hahaha!
-So a cone shaped cheeseball
-Cheese tree
-Oh!
-Are you not listening to the same thing I'm listening to?
-It's a cone shaped ball which is a tree
-Yeah, Yeah -I get it.
-Wow,
You know, I have had so much cheese
this holiday season already.
But, you know what?
I'm ready for more,
So I'm really hoping this is real.
-How far back do Bugles go?
-You know what?
The weird thing is that I'm hoping that it's real,
and that I get it wrong,
and then have to eat it because I want to eat it.
Weird
-So, but if we both get it right, -But, but, If you get it wrong there is an ultimate
-punishment at the for the person who loses overall.
-But is it worth the reward right now?
-Um...
-Christmas conflict!
-Alright
-Are you ready? 3..2..1..
-Real -Fake
-Bugles part made me think it was fake
-Oh-hohoho! -Oh, it's real!
-And you have to eat it!
-I have to eat it
-I want to eat it!
-Well you can't eat it
-Hold on, you know what? -That's your punishment for getting it right
-But I'll, you lose the point, I'll take the punishment
-I don't like blue cheese
or Worcestershire
-I, I love all of it
- That, this is weird
- This is like something your demented uncle
who dedicates whole rooms of his house to like,
a train going around
-Oh, yes -and then he builds that and then he's like,
-"My train goes around the cheese volcano at Christmas time."
-Link you are so missing out. -"You wanna come take a bite from it?"
-Link, quit being the uncle and come eat some of the freaking cheese
You need to experience this.
-Really? Everyone's a winner? -This is a Christmas miracle!
-I'm having a little bit of a dip issue here
-I'm trying to maintain the shape of the tree
I could eat this whole thing right now
I could just pick it up
and just put my mouth on top of it
and probably take half of it -Hahaha!
-You want me to? I won't -Like a T-rex?
-maybe later
-Don't do it, don't do it
Let's, let's move on.
Round 4
-Well Chase, I was expecting
a new beautiful present. This seems like a repeat.
-He recycled the presents?
-It's still beautiful
-Give us a recipe
-Snowy Chicken Confetti Salad:
Simply mix together some chicken consomme,
chicken chunks, celery, pimento, pepper, lemon juice,
flavorless gelatin, heavy cream, and of course, mayonnaise.
Chill it in a bundt cake mold,
and hope that it looks more like snow
than dive bar dumpster vomit.
Enjoy
-Ew, so cold chicken congealed with mayo
in a bundt cake pan
-Mmhm
-Wow, this one sounds...
-Tasty
-No, this is the first one that feels like a mistake.
Just the way that it was described,
whether it's real or fake, it's a mistake
-I'm getting choked up over here
I don't think I'll be able to taste anything else today guys
-You dont, but you can just slurp it right up, I'm sure, it's gelatin, it's *slurping sounds*
Umm
-Okay -I think I got an answer
-Okay, 3..2..1..
-Real -Real
-Let's see if we're right!
-YES! Oh. -Oh, that means we both have to eat it!
-There's an olive in the middle -Alright
-Eugh!!
It's as cold as winter's edge
-Look at those! -Look at the
-The texture Link,
there's celery, cheese, and what makes it white?
Mayonnaise. Oh, yes! Mayonnaise
-Now, when I cut through this
I'm- let's be quiet because I wonder if it's gonna make a sound
I mean it's kind of like a chicken salad with way too much
-It didn't make much of a sound until you hit the bottom
-It made a moist, you hear that moist cutting?
-It's kind of nice
-It's like something you'll hear in an ER -And it's got chicken
-You just wanna
-Here's my piece. -Okay.
-Here, you want me to- Here, I'll get you a piece
-Here you go. Hold my hand -You're so good at this
-It's like a married couple cutting a wedding cake. -I don't trust you dude.
-You and knives around the holidays, we know the history. -Here, let me help you eat it.
-Even a butter knife,
you could find a way to get that to my intestines probably
-Oh, look at that!
Chicken salad heavy on the mayo.
Heaaavy on the mayo.
-Now don't go light
-Oh, you wanna-? -Get a taste man!
-Throw the olive in there
-It's a big'un
Dink it,
then sink it.
-Dink it -To a great new year
-This is gelatinous
Ugh!
-I could see how somebody would
I mean, post war era?
-Haha, you're still eating it?
You're crazy, man
-I wanna identify with my ancestors. -The only crunchy--
-part is the celery.
Everything else is like mushy.
-I don't mind it one bit
-Cold chicken-ish -I don't wanna think about it
-I really don't mind it.
I mean, I have a 1958 palette.
That's what I'm discovering.
-This is actually from Better Homes and Garden's salad book
circa 1958
-You're-- you're kidding
-No -Hehehe
-You're--it is from 1958?
-Yes
-I am a freaking recipe genius!
-Yo, about recipe--
-I can't--I can't -A blood genius and a recipe genius
-I can't make anything,
but I can sure taste it.
Round 5
-Okay,
What do we got this time?
Candied Ham Cane:
For this simple holiday treat,
just bake an entire candied ham,
then grind it up and form it into a candy cane shape.
Dot it with marshmallows to form white stripes
and throw it back in the oven to get them toasty.
Serve with a side of sour cream for garnish.
-Ham cane...
Why haven't I invented that?
-They should exist, if it doesn't. -Umm..
-Roasted marshmallows on ham?
Eh. I don't know, I'm game I guess.
-Alright 3..2..1..
-Fake -Fake
-Is it fakey fakey?
-OHH! -Oh-hoh!
-It's Eddie's face! -Edward!
-Are we saying that Eddie is fake?
-Yeah, he's a poser
Look at him. He's got a beard and a beanie
Of course he's a poser.
-Alright, but hey!
Let's look into making that announcement Stevie
Round 6
-Alright, I am down by one point
umm...and this is it, so--
I've got to get this right in order to tie,
so that we both have to endure the food punishment.
-Both have to? -Overall
-Uhh..So this is my one chance to tie it up,
or I lose outright
Let's hear it.
Shrimp Tree with "Spanish" Sauce:
It's a Christmas tree made of shrimp, olives, and pimentos.
Complete with a "Spanish" dipping sauce that's mostly--
you guessed it--mayonnaise
Why Spanish? Why not?
Feliz Navidad.
-A shrimp Christmas tree?
-Ugh...Yeah.
-With olives...
and mayonnaise is hanging around...
but no gelatin.
-No gelatin
-How--I--I just don't know how, physically
you would make a shrimp tree.
-Okay, you ready for your answers?
3..2..1..
-Fake -Real
-Alright, at least there's a chance of us tying
because there's a discrepancy, there ain't no tree under that--
-OHH! -OHH!!
-My goodness! -Hey, a shrimp tree!
-Well, it almost fell over!
-Look at that Link. It's yours for the taking.
-Oh, okay, this is not how I pictured it -Here's your mayonnaise sauce
-If I had pictured it like this, then I would have been like,
"Yeah, of course, you just reach and get your shrimpy shrimp."
-Welcome to Spain
-Why not?
-Um..Can I have one?
-I mean I know I lost--I mean I know I won but--
-Congratulations, you won, which means you can have one
-Yeah, get that olive in there, don't take the olive off man
-That's--That's part of the fun -The tail's on here too?
-I know I don't eat a tail on a shrimp
-I think that you do this
You dip
and then--
you come here
then you put your mouth--
This is a two handed dish.
-Wow -AUGH!!
-I love olives and let me tell your right now,
olives ain't supposed to be with shrimp.
-AUGH!!
-Like, that just doesn't work.
That tree needs to be cut down.
*Link dry heaves*
-Woah! Oh gosh -Oh!!
-Are you--are you--
-Uh-uh, I don't like olives
-You--you gotta get it down man!
Come on! Get some more Spanish sauce!
Here, take some more, I got a spoon.
Take a spoonful of Spanish sauce
Well, congratulations to me
-Um..I..Oh god! *Link dry heaves again*
-I win in more ways than one today
-Olives are so aromatic
-Link, your punishment in Good Mythical More
is you have to take a tablespoon of mayonnaise
