It's GeoGuessr but food

This came from my livestream on September 7th, 2021. Catch me live every weekday from 11AM-4PM PT: / northernlion
Someone on the subreddit tipped me off to a cool game where you look at food and have to guess where it's from. I'm way worse at it than I thought I'd be! Check it out.
10:09
"This looks georgian to me"
Ah yes, coconut, the classic georgian cuisine ingredient.
Me, a Trinidad and Tobagonian, sees Trinidad and Tobago as an option, "Oh that's cool to see it up there."
Me when NL decides to select it for some weird translucent goo, "Oh no."
Got the same experience with Chile, when he picked us for the plate he found the least appetizing
It’s cooom
that dish looks like pre ejaculate
Or when he chose France for our (Brazil) nacional desert that got world class game and went: "they make this shit everywhere dont get flattered" at 13:45
😀
I'm Indonesian, they literally chose THE WORST picture of bakso that has even been taken.... it's delicious, source dude just trust me
those meatballs looked cursed...
Ive seen better bakso sold on the side of the street than whatever that was
@@frosenbhai I bet if you dig through the nearest dumpster you can find better bakso there
My indonesian wife screamed at the video in disgust when she past behind me watching: "if those are bakso, im not indonesian" she said.
I agree with NL those look horrendous, bakso deserves better :(
It is my life experience that the best tasting foods look absolutely disgusting. You trade flavor for aesthetics.
My favorite vegetarian dish is a nice vegetable korma. But I have to add extra turmeric to the recipe to make it a brighter shade of orange, because if I don’t it will taste the same but will literally look like a bowl of diarrhea, shit brown slime with vegetable chunks in it. And that makes people unwilling to try it the first time. But mix in that turmeric to being that up to a vibrant orange and people will insist it’s the best thing they’ve ever tasted.
Frankly, I kind of think everyone should eat food without looking at it. Eye balls are more of a detriment than anything, they’re just an obstacle the cook has to overcome to get people to be willing to eat great tasting food.
Yeah grey meatballs look gross
Now if only you had to hit a golf ball onto the map for your guess, this would be NL's perfect game
Somebody make it!
I wish the scoring was closer to GeoGuesser/how GMM does it. Like he guesses a country/general area on the map, and his score is based of how close/far he is from the country.
This game makes me realize that 95% of what humans eat is regional variants of the same 5 dishes. Oh, its meat with rice and vegetables, that's 100% Kirgyzhistan my man, where are my points.
At the same time every region has its own unique take on things, down to such a fine level of granularity that most people would probably be able to identify their mother's cooking in a double blind experiment.
same few ingredients mixed
I blame it on boring looking photos. Even with the same basic ingredients, a local mix of spices and herbs could change the dish completely. Yes, it's basically the same nutrients we all eat, but different cuisines really do taste differently
Lol Kyrgyzstan
@@Dystisis I wouldn't be able to recognize my mother's cooking. I probably would recognize my father's cooking, though, so there's that.
I never expect Scotland to show up in any GeoGuessr type stuff, but you can always count on ol' reliable Haggis in foreign food quizzes
Srry but that looked so strange for me that I guessed Turkmenistan
I'm Swedish and that surströmming just ruined my day. I'm just sat here, thinking about that flat bread and how good it looked, thinking it was just regular sill. And then I realise. It's not just sill, it's surströmming. My eyes widen in horror as I realise what a buffoon I am. I've fallen for the indoctrination and now I'm paying the ultimate price. "That looks horrendous" says NL, crushing my self esteem. It looked so good. A single tear falls down my cheek. I will never recover from this.
Many people are saying this
>dislikes surströmming
Fake swede upptäckt.
Hearing you say “stegt flæsk” made my friday
😬 my man took a beating
I woke my child up by laughing when he pronounced knäckebröd
8:51 - As an Australian, I declare that to be an offensive amount of vegemite. NOBODY uses that much on their toast, I promise you.
Not enough I understand
The difference between Wiener Schnitzel and Veal Scallopine is that Wiener Schnitzel are thin cuts of veal that are then pounded even thinner covered in breading and fried in clarified butter. Veal Scallopine are thin cuts of veal that are dragged through wheat flour and then sautéed. So really the only similarity is that it's made from veal.
And no, this is not what Wiener Schnitzel is supposed to look like. The breading is too thick, as is the meat, and also the pieces of thick meat are too small in the other two dimension. This needed ten minutes of pounding with a meat hammer and finer bread crumbs.
edit: replaced "oil" with "clarified butter", having looked up the English translation of "Butterschmalz"
Hast du toll erklärt :D
NL: Andorra? That's France!
History: uhhh, let's not get into this
that haggis looked like aquarium gravel oh my god
Tasty though.
They only look like that if you hunt them too early in the season
haggis is delicious, don't hate it until you try it. And not the shit you get out of a can
I don't think I've ever seen haggis served like that tbh.
It looked tasty. I would like to try it.
I had to come back and watch this after he did the quiz again on stream having completely forgotten he'd done it before. This man is incredibly consistent, same input same output.
"They make this shit everywhere, don't get flattered" ok that got me
I saw the tteokbokki in the thumbnail and thought "hey maybe this won't be too hard". I was incorrect. It was very hard.
Someone has clearly never been to a churrascaria Brazilian steakhouse. That cheese bread is freaking amazing stuff.
5 years from now someone's going to ask me why I spontaneously went to Brunei that one time I had a vacation. I'll never tell them the truth was my only interest in the entire country was out of curiosity for their national meal.
Looking up the place on wikipedia, apparently there's a lot of forest and beach preservations, so it'd be cool to hike deep and observe the local plant ecology too.
Ambuyat?
@@ComradeShadow3750 Yes. I wanna slurp the goop.
17:10
"This is italian pasta from Spain" sounds about right
I had absolutely no idea where most of the dishes were from, but I loved rolling my eyes whenever something European/Middle Eastern/Slavic came up. And he would do the same if I didn't know about a dish he knew.
Finally, a game I have extensive real life experiences to draw from
Edit: wrong, I didn't even get my own country's right xD
For me it works, shame that every second question I get has food that looks like shit and coincidentally is made in a country I've never even heard of.
If you've never heard of the country that's nobody's fault but your own
@@peiceofcheese87 yeah my bad not knowing some of the third world countries on the other side of the planet with population less than in my birth city I guess.
It helps to be a bit more worldly. Just saying
@@blindeyedblightmain3565 Most of the countries here have a pretty large population, scaling on a few millions at the lowest. If your birth city is Tokyo, you can't fault a country for having less people than that. If it isn't tokyo, then you are just building up on how wrong you are instead.
1:20 in laughing my butt off. “This… looks like absolute shit”
Commenting to show my support for this episode. It was really nice to watch while eating since most of it looked so good.
I feel like the deck was stacked against the player in multiple ways. I'm pretty food-savvy and struggled as much as NL. Was pleased both our reference for halo halo was CSD, though.
3:07 well, it always looks so easy when _Rhett_ does it. Link’s rounds always look like a life or death struggle where we’re lucky if nobody walks away permanently maimed.
I gotta say NL, you have to try some Pão de Queijo someday (the direct translation would be Cheese Bread, but don't let it fool you, it doesn't taste anything like white bread).
History has it was created in my state however it's eaten everywhere in Brazil, as it is so good. Try it with some black coffee.
I'm from Rio Grande do Norte, I have yet to meet someone that does not enjoy it.
Its absolutely godsend!
Can confirm, it is delicious
"All these places except for Latvia are near the equator"
Guess 5000 kilometers is close enough for Armenia and Romania.
The western experience
>couscous
>Israel
Not recognizing it's Moroccan.
Pain.
11:35 Bruh it's Lithuanian (according to wiki), in Polad you'd never put pierogi in a chicken soup, it's a sin. Only exception is pierogi with sourkraut and mushroom in borscht when Polish
ravioli with mushrooms called "uszka" (literally "ears") are out.
I could not get enough of the absolute disrespect for some of these countries sacred national dishes.
"This looks like shit"
It was well deserved lmao!
13:50 EXCUSE ME????
You don't go besmirching Brigadeiro like that NL!!
That one really hurt
I feel like it's important to note that in most countries, sliced white bread is delicious. Australia, the US and the UK just have really gross store-bought bread.
7:22 NL... I honestly can't fathom how you didn't recognize Brunei's most renound signature dish, cream of sum-yung-gai.
If its made everywhere NL its a testament to how good it is. Give Brazil credit.
Ingredients are different
We got "Romkugler" in Denmark, which is made differently. Also tastes better, I'm sure ;)
Olha o nível de desrespeito desses gringo kkkkk
Não sabem distinguir o leite condensado das natas as tantas...
@@JackiedudeQQ Romkugler is made with old cake on the other hand Brigadeiro is made of condensate milk and cacao they just look alike but are very different.
As an American I was dared by my friends to have haggis in Scotland. It genuinely tasted amazing, but god that texture
Be honest though, now way you ate the lungs.
@@HackionSTx The lungs are minced with the rest of the meat, it just tastes like lamb tbh
recipe: veal
NL: every country has breaded pork!
That Kabuli Pilaf is on my recent orders. Not pictured: delicious leg of lamb the size of my head that I didn't know about when I ordered an appetizer.
Nothing refreshes like a tall glass of Goat Water.
I have never clicked on a video so fast, all my neurons were firing off at lightspeed. I am extremely pogged.
So happy my country's dish made it, my man straight up called it disgusting
Hearing a canadian say "stegt flæsk" has just made my day
My Proud Polish blood was very happy to see you slap pierogi instantly. Bless this egg
But what in the earth was that photo, it wasn't from Poland
I've never felt as poggy as I did when I got the plum and lamb one correct and NL didn't
haha I did too and fist pumped so aggressively
This is literally the content of the century. Poggy.
Anything with meat, Northernlion: "This looks tasty!"
1:18 ''State Flaysk'' is probably the worst butchering of stægt flæsk i have ever heard
I love how NL thinks "dumpling" is an ingredient 2:17
I want it see Gordon Ramsey try this
The quiz did you dirty. The Danish dish IS ALSO popular in Sweden.
13:50 YOU DON'T JUST SAY THAT BRIGADEIROS ARE MADE EVERYWHERE AND LEAVE LIKE THAT, DUDE
It's made everywhere, and our recipe is better ;)
Tbh, every place has a "chocolate + dairy" sweet. It's basically just chocolate truffles or ganache balls with condensed milk instead of cream, lol
Brigadeiro is usually too sweet for non-brazilians, tho... When I lived in Ireland for a year, my roommate made it all the time, but most people (we lived in 4, plus a few friends that visited us frequently) thought it was way too sweet so pretty much only us two ate it, lol
It will never cease to amaze me how English speakers pronounce "paprika".
It's "pa-pri-ka", right?? Could be wrong though!
Surely it's not "Papri-ka"??
it's so freakin weird
@@BakaTaco yep, emphasis is on "pa", not "pri"
@@milenylamberti6 This is like "A-lu-min-i-um" and "Alum-in-um".
I think it really just depends on where you're from. Although, there must be a "correct" way to pronounce it.
I like to try and find a word's origin and just use that. I feel that is the most "correct" way to pronounce words I'm not so sure about.
@@BakaTaco yeah, i mean, there's other words like "Hawaii" the way americans say it doesn't sound right...
"The quiz never ends? That's what I like to hear."
wish the boiled triangles were on this list just so we could hear NL go off again
i completely forgot about boiled triangles
What are boiled triangles
As someone born and raised in Venezuela: this man has never seen an arepa in his whole damn life and it shows.
lmao had me dying
As someone born and raised in Brazil, yup. Also has never seen a pão de queijo either.
This man deadass just said that wienerschnitzel looks like tonkatsu
2:26 the dumpling was on the ingredient list it was the cornflour and baking powder you have to combine things to cook eggman
7:22 comedy gold
That vegemite was waaaay too thick... That's like Nutella level thick. It's best as toast with butter, and spread thinly. No wonder I always hear about non-Australians complaining when they try it.
Lmao when poutine showed up I facepalmed
Wiener schnitzel is almost always served with lemon. So from the picture and the options given it was pretty obvious that it was Austria.
This just confirms that Norway doesn't make any noticable food..
Only time Norway even an option was in the hellspawn of Marmite round... and that's halfway around the world!
It's better to not be known for food than to be known for surströmming like our brother sweden.
Give me your salted cod. We love it over here in Brazil.
Northernlion said stegt flæsk - my life is complete :)
BRUNEI'S NATIONAL DISH IS SNOT CURRY I AM LITERALLY GOING TO DIE LAUGHING.
At 9:00 with the veggimite spread so thick you're using 2 weeks worth on the 1 slice and NO BUTTER ARE THEY INSANE?
I'd pay good money to see Gordan Ramsey do this
Thumbnail haunts my nightmares
It brings awareness to the joys of "Stegt flæsk med persillesauce", so I'm forced to like it! :-)
(*Dang it, you made me hungry*) :-p
Swede reporting in - Can confirm in my 33 years of life, I've never met a single person who actually eats Surströmming anymore, it's very old and not really passed down to younger generations anymore. It's mostly for memes nowadays :>
You are very wrong
In the north of Sweden it is still pretty popular
Anyone from Brunei... What's it like?
Haggis looks awful, but good Haggis is unreal. I feel like you could add it to Poutine for a really killer, bougie drunk food.
From the ingredients of the Brunei goop, it sounds like it would be sweet with sauces and other dishes added with it to make it sweet & spicy... That's just speculation though, I also want to know.
Unfortunately you're either in a country that can't make haggis or in a country that can't make poutine. I've had "haggis poutine" here in Edinburgh, but it was not at all like the poutine in Quebec. It was just chips with brown sauce. It's like when my dad calls every rice dish ever "risotto".
That poutine is so bad
“GeoGuessr but with food” and there are literally ZERO Italian’s foods. I feel offended.
I was about to feel offended with zero food from german speaking countries and then the Wiener Schnitzel turned up :D
Too easy tho, Italian food is GOATed
@@rovalin6300 If you show pasta yes, if you show calzone, worm’s cheese or piadina then it’ll be a little harder
@@Chiavica Huh I didn't realize Calzones were genuinely italian.
Chill bro, your foods don’t count because they’re the bedrock standard of western cuisine.
I actually guessed Azerbaijan because of the plums, tumeric, and lamb.
Seemed so obvious.
As a New Zealander, I wish our cuisine looked like that. We just inherit whatever the fuck British food is, really. The only real standout is Pavlova.
When he clicked Macedonia instead of Albania: Key and Peele!!! Its the Kebapi!!!
We are here, they are there! We are here they are there! Here! There! Here! There! Ahhhhhhhh!
This is the most POG I’ve been since the last Geoguesser
Finally a game I'm good at! Thanks food fixation!
Poor NL. Narrowed it down pretty well but then lost pretty much every 50/50 on the list.
Haggis tastes way better than it looks, but admittedly that's not a high bar
I remember the good mythical morning where they had the national dish of Brunei on a darts episode, Link hit the center of Brunei.
I'll never forgive the egg for saying stegt flæsk med persillesovs is swedish.
@16:23 It is not a cuttlet but a snitzel, so no bones inside and it is breaded. Just drizzle some lemon juice on it and that's about it. It is not for me because I like some tasty sauce with a snitzel, strong gravy with mushrooms.
hearing you say stegt flæsk brings me life
That is the weirdest looking stegt flæsk with parsley sauce.
I'm here to defend brigadeiro
bruh the third one looks like prison food LMAO
16:23 wiener schnitzel has the special crust (tho i have to say that these in the image aren't so well done) ;-) veal scallopini has no crust and is usually served with (mushroom-)sauce. (afaik)
Done my boy haggis dirty, no one has it like that. Don't knock it till you try it, peppery and tasty.
Coming back to this after NL accidentally played this again on stream cause he forgot he already played it
I think I had lamb with plums once, and I would highly recommend it. Sort of depends on how you've cooked the lamb I suppose, but yeah give it a try.
Dude I make this Moroccan lamb stew with apricot juice and dried peaches and it's the absolute tits.
Fermented tea leafs - only in Myanmar ("Burma"). My favorite salad of them all around the world. It is unbelievable delicious if made well. Fish sauce is used all around region, not only in Myanmar.
Austrians turn off the video at 16:00 just looking out for your blood pressure :)
in what world does Schnitzel looks like that???
pog de queijo
This video made me hungry for goat water.
8:20 when you go to eat it the smokey progg pops out
1:30 I KNEW MY BOI WAS SMART
The best part is he makes being bad at a game entertaining af.
This confirms my bias that North Americans know jack shit about food
The moment that they list baking powder in a soup's ingredients I know it is definitely Chinese.
i cant wait to be boggled by all the western country food but i might also confuse myself with things that are from another place
as a Dane that is the worst stekt flæsk (or "state flaiske" as NL calls it) i've ever seen
If that is the worst I can only imagine a good looking one. It looks delicious.
