Durian doesn't taste like old gym socks, Dan. It's creamy & sweet like ice cream. And Mike how the heck do uno what poo taste like? Something you wanna share with us? 🙈😂
+Lynn Huynh Hahahahhaha same, I love durian especially the ones from Malaysia. The thing is that everyone's nose has its different way of smelling food (Don't know how to explain). But Dan was being too incredible "taste" like old gym socks lmao. At least durian is natural and it's a fruit compared to the ants yiks. Also there are different types of durian and it can also be expensive as well.
+Lynn H Haha if I recall the durian they ate looked horrible and old and the flesh weirdly shriveled and dry. :( The green shell also looked brown if I remember correctly. It was probably not durian season and was also affected due to age/while being shipped to the States. I can't imagine that durian tasting particularly good.
I'm not the biggest fan of durian either, and have never liked it much since I was a kid, but I can't deny that a really GOOD durian doesn't even taste "stinky", but are more "fragrant". Those are the kinds I actually enjoy eating, even though I usually eat 1 or 2 seeds/flesh and have enough.
So yeah if you're reading this and you've never tried GOOD durian that's ripe and soft/sweet/fragrant, fresh and in season - don't knock it till you're tried it! Durian ranges from bland and stinky to rich, creamy and sweet/custardy.
Also, durian products like freeze-dried durian, durian cakes or durian puffs/tarts don't really count and aren't like the real deal. They're almost always stinkier than a freshly opened fruit IMO!
+Lynn H well if you have a good chef make it into a delicious treat of course its great but it can also go horribly horribly horribly wrong
Durian is so delicious 😍
Lynn H your probably talking about jackfruit
but once you fall in love with durian, you will like the smell too.
I love durian
INFUCKING LOVE DURIANNN
Durian is life!!! ❤
I KNOW RIGHT?
Durian for the win!
Durian icecream, Durian candy and Durian EVERYTHING!
I LOVEEE durian ♥
I also can't imagine congee without thousand year old eggs!
+abrushofbeauty It seems to me that the majority of the people who love durian are women. Anyone noticed this or am I just crazy?
+abrushofbeauty yassss
SAMMEEEEEE
Though some of my friends hate durians
yasssssss my one n only love
+abrushofbeauty I LOVE durian too, and congee with century eggs is awesome!! :)
How does he know the texture of poo? o.O
Great question! We should let Mike answer that one ;)
+Bao Nguyen who hasn't when they were jung at least tried to play with their poo, before worried parents came to stop the exploration and research of said product. Its more strange not to know. If you cant remember you most likely just suppressed the memory subconsciously while growing up. Besides in some places there is plenty of dog/animal poo to step into, urgs.
+Bao Nguyen If you eaten durian and have made a joke about it with your parents that you call it poop when you refer to durian because of the smell? xD
+Bao Nguyen i mean it comes out of his ass soooh......
+Bao Nguyen I wonder if it has a nutty flavor...
sannakji, is dead those are just the nerves reacting.
There are different types of Balut!
What most people see are the more common 19-21 day eggs which have the feathers and beak.
What I recommend you guys try are the 15-17 day old eggs which have all the flavor with none of the feathers or beak.
Am I the only one that noticed the smudge on the camera?
Makaria OMG SAME
My favourite is thousand year old egg in congee...so tasty!!
Same
We call it century egg!
It's AMAZING in porridge
lean pork and century egg congee nom nom
Yes but my mom said it is kinda bad for you since it is kinda ok I mean extremely old
The best I've tried century egg in is also congee. But most l y the ones at dim sum resturaunts.
I'm surprised natto isn't on your list 😅it's definitely on mine haha. Also, would zha cai and kimchi be considered Asian foods that you either love or hate it since both have quite unique tastes?
Oooo natto. My friend from japan once had me and two other friends try it. She likes it but we didnt like it so much hahaha.
As for kimchi, i have noticed that people either like it or dont. I love me some good kimchi with warm white rice :3
there are way to much different kimchi variations out there. there is "the kimchi".
+Nidia Valle I hear you. My fiancee frequently has it at breakfast. I tried....can't get there. Sorry.
I love kimchi! it's made perfect where I'm at where it doesn't have a strong smell and tastes great. super spicy. love it rice or a simple kimchi pot. perfect for cold days too. so versatile.
+Elizabeth Lau I thought natto was #3?
I'm filipino and filipinos legit either hate or love balut. There is no in between.
EXO-L
+Kpop Addiction ayo ayo
so I'm Filipino, but I hate most Filipinos because our pride is over the top is annoying... is this normal?
same omg
exactly!
I'm 200% Asian and I'm proud to be an Asian. The only thing I enjoy is the preserved egg.
agree
same
+Jack GoldHang I'm not Asian but I agree; we had some in college during traditional Chinese culture and I was the only one willing to open and eat the egg in my group. Everything else we tried was icky (though to be fair, no one could replicate airag with cow's milk.)
+Jack GoldHang preserved egg get nasty if you eat it to much though
How can you be 200% asian? 😂😂 lol. Where's the limit of the 》%《 ? 😂
What about chicken feet?
chicken feet is also a hispanic thing though.. :P
That's normal
Durians are great! Most of them are pretty sweet:)
Someone lied to me and said it taste like cheese. It didn't! :(
I love durian
twentyonekelyn :3 I personally hate it
twentyonekelyn :3 I hate it personally
i like it
Nothing still living is ever going in my mouth

So the organisms in the water you drink aren’t alive?
Your asian card has been revoked.
@@DoomStarRequiem bruh i'm white as all hell xD this icon is a kpop singer
👏Same👏
btw that Supernatural poster is so distracting.. I am like trying to concentrate but once a while I go like 'Damn Dean is hot!'
Now I know, "I'm not the only one." Dean is life!😎😊😂
literally everyone watching.
stinky tofu sounds like the eastern equivilaent of stinky cheese
"Durian is one of those fruits that split families apart."
B-b-but... my whole family loves durian qnq everytime we go to our hometown we HAVE to get some.
I love durian!!!!! Is so good!
im happy im not alone :)
mee too..im the only person in the house who loves this fruit! it's like perfume to me
penumbra del dia but someone told me that you can hurt people using durian, is that true? 😂
+dat boi in the striped pajamas actually yeah I think it is possible to hurt people with the fruit. the spiky shape hurts a lot when someone throw one at you. I don't see anyone doing it though
You guys are so funny! I love this channel, keep up the good content!
Haha I'm Singaporean, and I don't even mind the smell of durian, I never understood why people thought it smelled bad😂
+Chloe Ing, Durian smells very sweet to me. I remember being given Durian for the first time and everyone was snickering like they expected me to gag or complain. But I loved the flavour and texture and thought the fragrance wasn't offensive at all.
I love durian, but it tastes a bit too sweet. But I love the favour very much. :)
+Chloe Ing Yeah! How can ppl don't like DURIANS!! My mouth starts watering every time I pass by a durian stall, the smell is just heavenly pleasant to me.. I like the musang king from Malaysia, the taste is intense, sweet but comes with a pleasant bitterness.. What if my girlfriend tells me that she hates durian? Then sorry we can't be together anymore =)
+Sam Zhen Yang Hahaha yeah I don't get to eat durian often so whenever I go back home to sg I'm like yaass. I can't eat too much though. I think it smells lind of like how it tastes? It honestly doesn't smell or taste bad😂
lol me either.. im from malaysia so every season is like a feast for my family..😍😍
for me the smell of durian is like pastillias, the durian flavor. Filipinos know this treat
You guys should stand up and do this style of filming more often! I really love this and miss this :'( !
agree!!
+moreBANANAS Duh yes !
loved the video guys and are you gonna do the commenting on your questions videos again?
Love this channel guys :)
I actually love the smell of durian, I just don't know why.
I think I could eat all of the food in this video, since I enjoyed most of food mention in the video.
Me too
most people who had durian and hated it probably had a unripe durian. Ripe durian is so sweet and creamy, it is basically like a sweet avocado. I love fish eyes too, no one told me to them when I was a kid. it was just something I discovered and fell in love. not the white solid part, just the geletto like part.
I friggin' love these guys! I learn so much. The CLOSEST I'm getting to all that craziness is the Baby Shark Curry...but I'm not that adventurous. Oh well, stay hungry my friends ;)
The cat poo coffee and the tuna eyeball are the only two things that I haven't tried! All the other items you guys mentioned, I absolutely LOVE (especially the durian)!
Durian to me=melon+caramelized onion+awesomeness
+Efren Chen Awesomeness is a sort of taste? Till your coment I thought only Gilbert Beilschmidt would say this
How most of these foods were discovered
"Hey that stinks…let's try it!"
Ohhh Dan, how I've missed your humor. I haven't seen any of your guys' videos since you left OTGW. You two really are a great duo.
LOL Dan, Mike, after each vid I wath I love you guys more
I don't think I'd like to try any of these, if I am not starving.
But...
I love your Attack On Titan poster!
In 6th grade we were made to dissect a squid in our science class, and at the end of the day, one of the mothers dropped by to pick up the dissected squid parts and fried them up for us to eat. Needless to say no one ate them, some because it was squid, others (like me) because we saw so many students drop tentacles on the ground, smash them with their shoes and hand it in for cooking.
You guys are awesome!!!!!!
I LOVE ALL OF THESE! XD
Where my 1000 y/o eggs fan at tho? o.O 👌🏻💖
underground.
Dan loves that cat-poo-ccino. Yum.
When he kept saying "cat poo coffee" I was laughing so hard
I love your channel guys
Okay...I love coffee. I mean I LOVE COFFEE!! But I draw the line at "cat poo coffee". I don't ever want to be that desperate for a caffeine fix. JS.
Same. That sounds nasty.
I wouldn't want to try that cat poo coffee or pay the price of it.
its cald white coffee in some places Indonesia being one of them just warning you
Adamkaban Kaban
It's a good idea not to order coffee if you're ever in Indonesia.
I've never tried it but they don't put the poo in the coffee, they put the beans that they picked from the poo into the coffee. Plus, they aren't cats anyway they're called 'luwak', they primarily (maybe only) eat coffee beans. I'm surprised there isn't an English word for them yet considering the popularity of the coffee.
Mike just took the opportunity to get the word Poo in there as much as he can
皮蛋豆腐勒？！吼～～～ hey mike! Saw you at JFK on probably 15th of October last year. I know it's like forever ago now. Lol. I was thrilled but didn't want to stop you cuz itd be pretty awkward I thought haha. (I live in Taiwan so I don't get much chance to see TH-camrs so randomly. So, pardon me if I'm being creepy xD) Anyways it was rly cool to see you in person. Looking good man.
And I Love your shows! So sad you guys left OTGW. But everything's for a great cause! And it's awesome to still seeing you guys here making interesting/fun/topic engaging vids. Aanyywaays, roll on guys! Sincerely, Anon follower. (really am not a stalker. xDD)
I'm craving for it for now
I'm gonna have to wait for the season
I guess the baby shark curry was on there because it's "babies"? It looked pretty good to me... not especially gross or strange.
also, they are right about haggis; it's just meat and oats and onions, like a "hash"; not gross at all.
you guys are wrong. the most expensive coffee in the world is starbucks
one venti kopi luwak, please
Is Starbucks coffee?
That's not coffee... It's sugar milk with to much chemical flavoring...
kopi luwak is the most expensive you are the wrong one.....
haha love your take on durian, guys. I still remember Dan trying Durian for the first time on OTGW :D
I fricking *love* durian! Nothing better than coming home from school and my Nona cooked durian tapioca porridge for dessert!
balute tasted good... even without salt :(
Von Pascasio IKR!!!
Von Pascasio I KNOW I LOVE BALUTE
Andy9899 Media the worst part is i always accidentally get the inside cold :(
I actually like that part.
Von Pascasio Truth!
dude im from the Philippines and........... NO, science classes don't require us to bring balut to study duck fetus, in fact we dont even include that in our science class. so please get your facts right. they dont even teach us the importance of balut in our society.
I love adding thousand year old eggs to rice soup, it's something I just LOVE.
Kopi Luwak the animal that I believe it comes from is a civet. The civet sucrushions is also a main ingredient in alot of high end perfumes.
I actually like Durian (esp. durian candies) and the smell isn't even that bad tbh
I love durian😍😍
I like balute too
Baby shark curry sounds yummy. I had Shark once in Morocco and I enjoyed it a lot!
Dan you're crazy! Durian is creamy and delicious but I love it cold.... 🤣
Coffee addict here. I love coffee. Can't get through a day without drinking 4-5 cups. But, I agree with Mike. No matter how much you tell me, "Kopi Luwak is good. Try it." I'll refuse. I mean, the bean is eaten by a cat-like animal, then pooped out? Then I drink it? Hell nah.
it actually tastes really good and is very strong. it isnt exactly helping if i were to tell you they sterilize it before turning it back to coffee, but try it honestly its great! They also have elephant poop coffee here too! Indonesia is amazeballs XD
Do you play League of Legends because shurima?
OrangeThunderFluffy There is only Shurima. All else is but a mirage.
im right
lol
So my whole family likes peanuts, except me. My whole family loves durains, except me. Are my family even my biological relatives?? 😂😂
sorry bud, but you might be adopted...
+Jhezryl Gundran yup
"it's hard to break it to you… but u must know we love you sooo much"
Kopi Luwak/Kapeng Alamid is made from palm civet droppings. the civet picks and eats the best coffee bean but their stomach cant digest the beans so they poop it out whole. the coffee tastes good because the civets only eat the best coffee beans and the beans reacts with the civet's stomach acid. people clean the beans, and only roast and grind the beans. they dont just pick up the poop and dissolve it in hot water.
btw, where did you hear about the balut being used in science class? Im from the Philippines and I have only heard that on your video.
the faces he makes are hilarious 😂😂😂
kirito is in the background
i don't love durian, but i don't hate it too.
it just like apple and other fruits to me, i eat it whenever i feel like eating it. ._.
Kopi Luwak is SOOOOOO GOODDD I had it when I was in Jakarta and its called white coffee and it's actually amazing
The legs are not actually alive/sentient for anyone who may be confused. The muscles and nerves are simply twitching with random electrical impulses not controlled by the brain. They stop moving after a few minutes.
I honestly don't have any issue with eating anything.... It's more the morality of these dishes...
Cats are carnivores. They need meet to survive. You probably couldn't get a cat to eat coffee beans, and if so, the digestive tract would treat it completely different than that of a herbivore animal. Please don't try to force feed cats coffee because someone joked about it on youtube.
I don't think that's a cat cat. it's probably in the cat family but not cat cat per si. heard that kind of coffee is expensive AF
+ladybelle Obviously not all cats are able to produce this coffee. Those "coffee cats" are actually asian palm civets and omnivores.
+Anna Banana I heard that cat poop coffee costs $8 a cup.
+Anna Banana Did you see the photo Mike and Dan put up for the cat poop coffee? I hope it's not creating a situation where those poor creatures are being captured and caged in tiny wired cages only to be force fed the coffee beans and nothing else. The animals need a balanced diet like every creature does. I see a lot of potential for abuse.
Doggiemix1 I actually went inside one of these coffee shops in Shanghai once and it was around 25 dollars.
I love more than half of these items and cant promise to stomach the rest XD. And I agree with the poot coffee XXDD.
"The cat poo coffee" lol I'm done
Haha you won't eat a fruit that only smells like poo but you would drink cat poo coffee... Oh the irony 🙊
the octopus arms squirming on the dish is making me sick.
The alive shrimp made me sick!
What video editing software do you use?
I don't really like coffee, but Kopi Luwak is awesome! The coffee taste is so pure, no bitteness at all.
These Asians really are white lol
...both of them were born in China and spent a significant amount of time in China. I believe Mike GREW UP there. I think he moved here when he was like 15? and he goes back a lot. so he's actually pretty damn Chinese
summerstar143 thnx
k
lmao that's what i always think 😂
a better way to describe them is western. theyre quite western.
I would not eat something alive, made from excrement, or smells like excrement, or raw.
Soooo..... No Durian?
+Spork yo but durian is the KING
ok. then you still could eat sanakji, it's dead, just nerves reacting.
beauty queen15 Yeah, sannakji is pretty much the only thing on this list that I'd be completely ok with eating. I'd try durian or the drunken shrimp too, but warily.
I'm Vietnamese, and me my family use to eat ba lute all the time, and it's actually really good
I crave it all the time but u can only eat it when I go back to Viet nam bc here in Australia it's expensive asf
I can open Durian myself and I love it so much, I can eat it all day, even the smell make feel good,
and for Luwak coffee, it's not just work for some cats, it's just from Luwak - cat like animal and stray cat maybe eat/digest all the beans, and In the next steps the coffee beans are washed, dried, pounded to remove the skin, sorted and finally roasted
I
LOVE
THOUSAND
YEAR
EGGS
LIKE OML ITS LIKE THE KING OF ALL EGGSSSS 😍😍💘💘💘
I haven't tried most of these, but the only one I've tried and like is thousand year old egg. It's ok on its own, but it's really good in jook (rice porridge).
For balute, try the chicken eggs. It’s smaller then the duck eggs & less frightening. The yolk from the balute is really delicious especially with pepper sauce. 😋
absolutely love durian!! and stinky tofu, thousand year eggs! haven't tried the others, but if i had the chance i would :) especially the drunken shrimp, that sounds amazing, given that i love shrimp sashimi!
I've actually tried sannakji, and I absolutely loved it
Lol. I like how Dan is open-minded about trying anything and Mike is just like: "NO". You guys should've mentioned fried spiders (Cambodia) and silkworm pupae (Korea) as well. Maybe for a part 2?
i love sannakji so much omg ❤️
I love you guys so much
have you guys tried the cofee luwak?
I love ur Super Natural poster
P.S. Dean is my favorite
I LOVE DURIANS!!! It's delicious and smells great to me too. I think it is an acquired taste that most people who has never had it before would not like.
Me too! :D
I really wanted to try sannahkji, but i had never heard of drunken shrimp, but now it's on my watchlist of Asian cuisine. Oh, and sea urchin looks strange, and delicious.
I think durian smells SOOO good! And tastes really good too! :)
Sanakji is one of my fav dishes~ taste the best with korean hot sauce chojang!
LOL no durian on subway LMFAO
+Double Chen Hi guys, a 华侨 from the Philippines here. Just so you know, you guys misspelled "balut", but contrary to what other people said down there, there's nothing wrong with your pronunciation.
Thanks for making these videos. I enjoy them a lot. Much love from the Philippines.
The exotic coffee eating cat is called a civet. It is found all around Southeast Asia and southern China (Yunnan).
Drunken shrimp is actually really good :) There's a variety where instead of wine, we use lime juice.
i've noticed you wearing Sedona t-shirts. have you been there? I've moved from NYC to Arizona
Wow, I'm glad you guys mentioned the ants eating mango leaves! I eat bugs when possible, most of them are great, usually sort of nutty and crunchy, and very good once you get over your "ick"s. For instance, I find toasted meal worms taste a bit like bacon. But I'm allergic to mango leaves and skin, which contain the same oils as poison ivy. Guess I should skip those particular ants!
Ahaha you guys are hilarious
When I was in Guangzhou there was a mall that strongly smelled of stinky tofu... It did not help that it was ridiculously hot and humid that day.
Oh I love balute! Try adding lemon and pepper and salt in it and it tastes delicious!
I saw durian in a book about aisa (or china I don't remember) and have wanted to try ever since
