It's time for
Food Adventure Program For Awesome People
The Chinese convenience store edition
So we were in Beijing a little while ago
I have no idea what this meat is
Mmm~
And while we were there we ate a lot of great food at awesome restaurants
But we also bought a whole bunch of food
from convenience stores
And today we're going to try out stuff that we have no idea what it is
And we'll let you know how it tastes
Possibly scary
Very scary
This is Delicious Scallops Abductor
Not aBductor, it's adductor
Is there a doctor in the house?
Anybody?
Oh I can smell it already [M]Oh God...
Are we supposed to cook these?
How do I know if these are supposed to be raw
or not [M]Oh my God
We're gonna diarrhea
That's what we gonna do [M]No..
Can you guys see this?
Just like piles of little... [S]This was in a snack section
So I'm assuming you can just... [M]This Has to be cooked
SooZee, use your Chinese.
Go SooZee, go.
Um... No idea
*laughing*
We're just going to eat it
We're just going to smell it at least
Oh I got juice all over me
gross, gross, gross, gross, gross
Oh my God [M]I'm eating it
ooh... really? [M]Yep. I'm eating it
You smell that? [M]It's happening
We're eating it
3, 2, 1 go
Oh that's cooked [drum roll]
Mmm~
It's cooked and delicious
this was really good!
It has got an extremely strong fishy taste
Do not eat these before you go on a date.
*Spudgy barks* Stop giving me the crazy eyes, dog.
You are not getting any of my scallop adductor
Verdict is:
Scary but delicious
Next up is what I believe to be an entire chicken leg
This feels like an entire chicken leg
Ok, so let's find out if this is actually
Chicken
This looks like a giant freakin chicken drumstick
It feels like there are a lot of juicy things...
These are what convenience snacks are like
Okay.
This is pretty questionable
Is this convenience store food?
really?
This was right beside the chips
*Spudgy barks*
[In Spudgy's voice] Whooooa~ That smells great!
Spudgy, you're really photobombing [Spudgy] C'mon
Ok [M]Are you gonna have some?
Yeah we gotta kawi-bawi-bo
loser has to eat it
Oh you just squinted on me
Rock paper scissors
one out of one
wait maejebsyea
TOP failed me last time, so I call the power of G-Dragon
ready?
Kawi bawi bo
*Martina laughing, Simon crying*
I'll take care of you when you get diarrhea
It is really good. It's just dried chicken
Is it?
Really juicy
That's pretty fantastic
I know
Here, dog
[Spudgy] Oh yeah~
It's actually quite good
this is a snack that you can share with your family
it's smoked
So you can taste the smokiness to it
And it's jellied
So you can see the jelly in it
I think the jelly is just from the fat
This is so weird and gross
Omnomnomnomnomnom
Because it tastes really good guys
This tastes like smoked duck
Or something
Is it duck or chicken
I actually don't know now
I don't know
Smokey duck, smokey duck, smokey duck, smokey duck (MBLAQ's "Smokey girl")
Verdict is:
Slimy but delicious
You know how in your country lays have special flavors
while in China they have the fermented soy bean prawn flavour
I mean I guess there's no other way to translate it
because we like fermented soy bean paste soup in Korea
But it sounds gross out loud
Let's try it [M]Yeah...
I think it's going to be good
Don't smell it
Don't smell it, Simon
Oho~
Let's enjoy it
I thin it's going to be good
Yeah. Jjang~
*crunch crunch*
*sound of a breaking glass*
Well that was disappointing
That was Not good
*deep sigh*
The spicy comes at the end though
But the beginning has a funky flavor
It's like blue cheese almost
deep blue cheese...
of sadness
No. Eeh. I don't like it. I don't want anymore
The doenjang jjigae and the... [S] cheong gook jang
It has a really creamy bean flavor
But this just kind of tastes like... sour... [S] A dry bean flavor
Stop eating it!
Spudgy sat down for this one
He's like "I want nothing to do with it"
verdict is:
fermented sadness in a bag
Ok, we're going to go to the drink category for a bit
Because I need to wash down the fermented sadness
I'm going to wash mine down
with some wax gourd grass jelly
Oh my gurd~
I'm going to have lily bulb papaya milk drink
Which sounds pretty good
I just don't know what lily bulb is
We have if this is the kind of stuff where
when you're living there no one ever buys that
Like for all we know we might buy stuff that no one ever buys
this needs a knife
SooZee~
SooZee is in the cave
*laughs*
oh God...
Jjang~
So good.
Also so good.
You should try some of mine
And you should try some of mine
I thought I picked the right one
oh God... why do we do this?
Drink it.
Why yours is actually better thank mine
Yours is better than mine
Mmm~ I happen to like my wax gourd grass jelly
That tastes like funk to me
This isn't good
You know why?
Because this is milk
And I think that we kept it for too long before filming it
oh ducky, it had a breaker up there
Oh ballz
You put it on like this and then you...
Right?
Oh my Gosh, this is amazing
Oh... the cap... oh...
Oh my God that's so cool
That is so cool
Ok, +1 for innovation
The lid has a little level on it
and then you put it it
you twist it
and it actually cuts open for you
this tastes like Chinese herbal medicine
both of them are losers
I think all in all we're sad with our decisions to... yeah...
verdict is:
I deeply regret my decisions
we're gonna try for something which I think has a potential to make us really happy
it's like coconut balls...
Better not be any more sadness in here
coconut can't really go wrong, right?
Oh~ these are like ferrero rochers
But with coconut
ok, ready?
That is de-li-cious
Why didn't we buy like 20 packs of these?
I wanna bite it in half and see what the inside looks like
"Yo! Can I have some?"
He knows what's good
it's almost like a custard on the inside
You know what it tastes like?
Coconut donut
in Tim Hortons when you get coconut custard donut
What's wrong? [S]My fingers smell like smokey duck
verdict is:
coconut is the best
Next up on the list
is seven premium whatever the hell this is
something questionable
This might be pickled plums of some kind
oh God.
Those are plums, alright
You think so?
They look like tiny testicles
yeah. you ready for some scrotum? Coz these are some scrotum.
It... oh no. It has a pit
You just tried to eat though the pit
All I taste is sad memories
ok so this is entire thing guys
is a pit
it's like entirely a pit
And then there's a tiny bit of skin on the outside
it's like a really sour salted plum
What are you supposed to do with that thing?
it's really hard to get the outside off
but it has like a mid-aftertaste. Very very strange
Maybe that's why I cracked into it and as a result I opened up the world of pain
verdict is:
What the f**k was that?
I think we should wash it down with some sea salt lemonade
is this thing carbonated?
I'm scared
I'll open it over here
What the hell?
rock paper scissors
loser has to drink it
kawi bawi bo
yeay
Drink
I should have called the power of G-Dragon
Do you think it's an energy drink?
like after you work out?
Yeah you know what it tastes maybe a little bit like gatorade
or it also tastes like ocean water with sprints of lemonade
That's exactly what it tastes like
Look at the side of it
Oh yeah
It says for studying, being healthy
beating someone [S]Hanging clothes
on your elbow
Yelling at the Sun
it's for looking at a giant magnifying glass
and it's for capturing bacon
verdict is:
not bad but disappointing
ok so all in all
we only had a couple of scary things
but I was really happy with the scallop adductor
And the random chicken thing
the ones that are real meat
that were the scariest
were the best
but the stuff that was the most processed
was the worst
lesson to learn for all of us
As you eat your fermented bean shrimp chips?
These arn't the best. I'd much rather have the scallop adductors
So that's it for this week's Food Adventure Program For Awesome People
Next week we'll be at the gym
because Simon just ate four pounds worth of chips
I worked out today. I deserve this.
