- Pack your darts, we're going to McDonald's.
- Again.
- Let's talk about that.
(funky music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Did you know that McDonald's
has around 34,000 restaurants in 118 countries
and territories across the world?
- That's big, Mac.
(crew laughs)
A couple years back we tasted some McDonald's menu items
from around the world,
but with that many Mickey D's out there
we say it's high time we tasted more,
and this time the foods were gonna be eating
all came from your suggestions.
- That's right, yeah.
We asked you to submit interesting menu items
from fast food restaurants in your hometown
using #GoodMythicalMenu,
and a lot of those were McDonald's related,
so we're going in again.
It's time for,
Where in the world - Where in the world
- Do these international - Do these international
- McDonald's menu items - McDonald's menu items
- come from? - come from?
- Part two. - Part two.
We're gonna be trying menu items from McDonald's
all over the world.
And throwing a dart where we think it's served.
- And then after we throw our darts,
Chase the McCartographer, will measure how far we are
from the right answer.
And of course, the person with the lowest score
in the end wins.
And we've been told that winner will receive,
the gift of the first sniff,
and we have no idea what that means.
- Okay, since I lost laugh time.
- Laugh time?
Yeah, I thought it was funny. - It was so funny.
I'll have the special advantage of the Saucy McNug Dart,
covered in sauce, later on.
- All right, let's do this.
- Okay, so is this some sort of breakfast McMuffin thing?
- Is that radishes and cottage cheese?
- [Link] And some sort of radicchio, right Nicole?
- [Nicole] Arugula.
- That's arugula,
I could have told you that. - Close enough.
- This is a vegetarian thing.
- I recently discovered that I love cottage cheese.
- How did you recently discover this?
- I tasted it, and I was like, man, I like this,
where's it been?
Little berries on top.
- Why did you wait so long to taste it?
- Because it's something that grandmas eat, I thought.
- I thought it was for like, fitness moms.
First of all, I do want to acknowledge
that there is now a note for me on the map.
That says, this is Norway.
What did I call that last time, Finland?
- Did you just acknowledge that Finland exists?
- [Stevie] There was like a Sweden thing happening,
I don't know. - I think I said,
the country that doesn't exist, Finland,
no, that's Sweden, or something like that.
- Yeah, okay.
Just throw a dart, man.
- Where would they do this?
I am going totally on the radishes.
And I know that sometimes when you're eating
like a Mediterranean restaurant,
they'll just throw radishes in like a little...
Want radishes?
I'm gonna do towards the closest to the middle east
that I can find on the map,
and that would be Turkey.
It's the closest to the middle east.
- It's not right, but--
- Ironically, there's no turkey on this sandwich.
(thud)
- Whoa, okay, you hit Poland, which concerns me,
because that could be the right answer.
- Why does that concern you?
- Because I don't want you to win.
- Oh, okay.
Well, have a radish.
- Okay, don't mind if I do.
All right.
- Let the radish lead you.
- I think this is Denmark,
because of the fitness grandmas.
- There's a lot of fitness grandmas in Denmark?
(thud)
- [Link] Oh, man, I hit the P in Poland,
but the word, not the country.
Stevie?
- [Stevie] Okay, this is the McMuffin Twarozek,
submitted by Mythical Beast, @kapibarella,
this variation of the breakfast McMuffin
is made with sweet cottage cheese, salt, pepper,
red radish, arugula.
It's a classic take on Mom's cooking in Poland.
(Rhett laughs)
- Oh, dang it!
You lucky dog!
I told you!
- You know what, I think that was just the radish
leading my arm.
- But we've clustered up on it.
- We clustered on Poland.
- All right, Rhett, you had two, and Link, you had nine.
- Two.
- Two's less than nine.
- Oh, we got a McFlurry.
Oh, what is this stuff on top?
It's some sort of like--
- There's a blue gelatinous substance and marshmallows.
- Mm, it's like candy.
- Oh, I love that ice cream.
- What is the candy?
All right, I keep the advantage of going second,
'cause you got lucky.
- Okay, now when you look in the top of this,
you're like, that's a good time.
That's somebody willing to take a risk.
Blue, unidentifiable blue thing?
That's a risk.
Where do they take these kinds of colorful risks
with their food?
I think we are squarely in the eastern part of the world.
So I think that we are in South Korea or Indonesia.
And I'm not gonna make a bold choice,
I'm gonna go right in between them.
(thud)
Or Indonesia.
- [Link] But do you know what that blue stuff is?
- [Rhett] It's good.
- Emu leg juice?
- Emu leg juice, no.
- Aw man, there's not a lot to go on here.
Something's calling me to New Zealand,
but that's such a big risk.
It's mitigated by the fact
that you're over there in Indonesia.
- You could make a big play though.
I mean, what if it's Guatemala?
All of a sudden, woo, you've got quite a lead.
- If I go there, what was a risk with New Zealand,
is now kind of boring.
- Where you going?
- The Atlantic Ocean.
- Whoa, really?
- I have no clue where this thing is from.
(thud)
- [Link] Well, I hope it's Canada for your sake.
- [Stevie] Okay, this is the Bubblegum Squash McFlurry,
submitted by Mythical Beast, @mayaqwright.
It's a classic vanilla McFlurry with a delicious swirl
of bubblegum syrup and marshmallows.
- [Link] Bubblegum syrup.
- Stevie] And it's served in New Zealand.
- [Link] Oh no!
- Why didn't you do it, man?
Why didn't you do it?
- There was no reason for anything.
It's just bubblegum syrup, that could be anywhere.
- There's always a reason for New Zealands.
- Okay, Rhett had 19 and Link had 78.
(Rhett laughs)
(Rhett coughs)
- You want some of my McFlurry?
- No!
- This is a triangle hunk of something.
- [Rhett] It could be anything.
- Triangular pieces.
Oh, you could make like an arch.
Make an archway.
- Oh.
- [Link] Whoa!
- [Rhett] Nacho cheese, cream cheese--
- With some sort of jalapeno in it?
- With a jalapeno.
- McDonald's makes jalapeno poppers?
Well, it's not really--
- It is like a jalapeno popper, though.
- It's kind of an inverted popper.
Man, you want me to tell you what I think it is,
so that you can get the right answer,
and then I'll change my mind anyway?
- I mean, you can do whatever you want to,
I'm not gonna listen.
- Jalapeno poppers.
- Obviously, it feels like the intuitive answer
is Guatemala, right?
Because you've got like, jalapeno and cheese,
and it's fried.
But would they do this kind of thing is South Korea
or in Indonesia, because again,
it's like an experimental kind of thing,
and there always reaching out into other parts of the world,
and bringing in the cuisine.
- [Link] Lot of cheese.
- I have such a huge lead at this point,
that it would be a chump play
to just go to the middle.
- Yeah, you've been a lucky dog anyway.
- I'm gonna go against intuition,
and just go with that second sort of reason I came up with,
which is, I think this is from either
South Korea or Indonesia.
(thud)
Going over there.
Whoa, I'm way off.
- All right, this is my opportunity.
Here's my thing, my first instinct was Paraguay.
But then, I started feeling drawn to Canada,
they like to party too.
- They do.
- But nobody likes to party like they do down in Paraguay.
And don't like to really party unless you can pop it.
- A popping party in Paraguay.
- I'm sticking to my original instincts.
- You can make up a lot of ground here.
- And going with Paraguay.
(thud) Woo, yeah.
All right, Stevie, do me right, girl.
- [Stevie] These are called Chili Cheese Tops,
submitted by Mythical Beast, @tobiastorup.
These crispy deep fried balls
are filled with melted cheddar cheese,
along with chili and jalapenos,
and they're sold at McDonald's in Denmark.
- Oh, no one could have guessed that.
No one.
- That's 44 for Rhett, and 29 for Link.
- I won that round. - Wow, Link, all right.
- What is this?
Is this some sort or porridge?
- [Rhett] That's a grit.
That's a grit, man.
- [Link] Is it grits?
- [Rhett] Yeah, my man, right here we got grits.
- It's like dried shards of chicken.
Is that a tortilla strip?
- [Rhett] We got fried chicken, on top of grits,
with green onion, and tortilla strips.
- Mm, that's good.
- That's something they would do at KFC.
- [Link] I don't think that's grits though,
I think it's like Cream of Wheat.
- You're right, Link, that's in the wheat family.
- Wheat.
- That's not corn, that's wheat, that changes the game.
- Oh man, so where is the wheat?
- Now, I find myself drawn back to Turkey.
I'm not gonna think about it too much,
I'm just going to Turkey.
(thud)
- All right, a little low and to the right.
In the land of South Africa, they like to porridge.
- [Rhett] How would you know that?
- I think it's like, the British influence.
Here we go.
- I'll take that.
- I gotta go all the way for the gusto,
and I'm going for the bullseye.
(thud) Oh, shookie.
(crew laughs)
- Oh, shookie.
- I need points of this is Cream of Wheat.
I shouldn't have told you.
- [Stevie] This McDonald's menu item was submitted
by a very special Mythical Beast, and I'm gonna let him
tell you about it.
- [Davin] Hey guys, it's me, @davidtjen.
(Rhett laughs)
- Davin.
- [Davin] You just had Bubur Ayam,
which literally translate to chicken porridge.
It's made with rice porridge, not Cream of Wheat.
Crispy pieces of McDonald's fried chicken,
wonton strips, scallions, and crunchy fried onions.
It's a favorite comfort food for many, including me,
and it's found at McDonald's in--
- South Africa?
- [Davin] Indonesia.
- Well, Davin, if you need this to be comforted,
why didn't you let us know?
You need to be being comforted with this
on a weekly basis, I would think, right?
- Come out here and get it, man.
- [Davin] I will take the rest of that cup though.
- Come out here, get some comfort.
- Okay.
- [Link] Dang it.
- It was 22 for Rhett, and 26 for Link.
- Oh, wow, sorry, Link.
- Good gosh.
- Look at the swirl on that thing.
- This is huge.
- Look at the swirl top.
- [Link] Mine doesn't have as much of a swirl top.
- [Rhett] Where do you get a bun like that?
- [Link] This is stacked, man.
- I've got to deconstruct this,
just to know what's going on.
We've got some sort of special sauce, which is...
Tastes a little off.
We've got lettuce, tomato--
- [Link] Bacon, chicken.
- [Rhett] Bacon, chicken, and cheese, and then--
- What the heck?
Is this like a plantain?
- All right, I think I know what that is,
but I'm not gonna say what it is.
- It's a big old tater,
that's shaped like a banana.
- And then we've got onion on the bottom,
and then some more of that sauce.
- I gotta figure out what this is,
'cause you're not gonna tell me.
- Continuing our long-standing one episode tradition
of guessing a location that is not on the map,
the answer to this final round,
could be any where in the world,
except one the countries that's already listed.
- But I do have the secret weapon
which may do me more harm than good.
And that's sauce dipped nuggets.
- Okay, you know what, Link?
My lead is so extreme at this point,
I'm just gonna process out loud here at this point.
I believe--
- [Link] That's bamboo, isn't it?
- I could be wrong, but I think this is that yuca root.
I don't know if that's the name of it,
but it is a root vegetable that is enjoyed
in certain areas of the world,
that I seem to remember being in South America.
There's so much happening here,
but this does feel like a party.
I think we're in Brazil.
Because I know that they enjoy a root vegetable like that.
But they do the plantains down there.
I don't know, don't overthink it, Brazil.
(thud)
Oh, I actually hit it for the first time ever.
- All right, with a taro root like that,
or whatever it is.
- That's the word that I was looking for.
- Then in order for me to have a chance,
you have to be wrong, and then I have to be very different
and also very right.
And I'm good at part of that, usually.
But it's not the right part.
All right, again, even if I hit around yours,
it's not gonna help me.
Get my handful of sauce, handful of nuggets.
Let's get this over with.
So I gotta go to the east.
- Go to the east, my son, we'll see you soon.
(thud)
- [Link] And I wanna go a little north.
I tried to bring it down, and it just didn't
come down far enough.
- There's splatter all the way
into the south Pacific, I think.
- [Stevie] Okay, this is called the Yuca Al Mojo Burger,
and it was submitted by, @maridee1507.
This burger is made with mallorca bread,
crispy chicken, bacon, caramelized onions,
a garlic and parsley sauce, and yuquitas,
which are yuca root fries.
And it's served in McDonald's in Puerto Rico.
(Rhett exclaims)
- Puerto Rico!
- Which is not--
- Not as far south as you were hoping.
- Too far from Brazil.
- Yeah, there's no way that you lost.
- Yeah, and Rhett, you had 12, Link, you had 17.
- Oh. - Okay, well.
- Sorry, man.
Have some yuca.
- Yeah, that'll cheer me up.
- All right, thank you for making this episode possible.
We wanna keep seeing those #GoodMythicalMenu suggestions.

- Not just from McDonald's.
In fact, not from McDonald's, 'cause we just did that.
