Here are some ideas! Unusual Texture Challenge: -lutefisk or something else gelatinous -foods cooked in gelatin/jello, like aspic -blended a savory food like a burger -baby food or some sort of mash/paste -raw or boiled okra -soggy bread, like bread soaked in water Raw Produce challenge: -ginger -garlic -onions -bitter melon "Interesting" Salad challenge: -Waldorf salad -Ambrosia salad -Jello salad -Candle salad -Perfection salad
@@zekeeynon8530 soggy bread is a Christmas dish in Sweden(Well you might know it since you mentioned lutefisk, Norweigan spelling). It translates to "Dipped in the pot" and you take bread and soak it in stock(usually the one you boiled your ham in). Traditionally it's with a wort(leftover from beer making) bread, but in northern parts of Sweden its a thing to use crisp flatbread.
"Mike's having a moment right now and I really sympathize with him because I've been there. Its horrific and doesn't get any better." - Barry That sounds like me giving life advice.
It genuinely drives me nuts how overlooked Mike is. He DOMINATED three of those rounds, and it feels like his overall pleasant demeanor just gets completely overshadowed.
IDEA - weird fish dishes for chefs - Surströmming (lightly-salted fermented Baltic Sea herring), Herring Under a Fur Coat (Russian herring salad) or just pickled herring in a jar, Lutefisk (dried whitefish It is made from aged stockfish), Sannakji (sliced raw fish usually in Korea), Tuna eyes, Shirako (the milt, or sperm sacs, of male cod), Hakarl (fermented and dried shark from Iceland), Stinkheads (fermented Salmon from Alaska)
As an amateur poker player, I profited just over $20,000 last year, I can tell you that if you like your cards in poker the pokerface is just as important, if not more, as it is if you didn't like your cards. The point of a pokerface is to remain stoic irrespective of what you feel about your cards good or bad. Mike doesn't deserve the point because he showed real emotion and didn't remain stoic abut the liquorice.
I think Ben maybe said it wrong but I still think it was Jamie's point because Mike showed happiness and the point of poker face is no emotion so I think it was the right decision
Yes, Lutefisk! And also there are a lot of recipes on this channel that I think look both fascinating and terrifying (because I’m not used to them) th-cam.com/video/qsouZwheabQ/w-d-xo.html
I feel like Mike got robbed round 2 and 4. For round 2 I actually believed Mike was enjoying what he was eating while I could see in Jamie’s face he wasn’t. While for the 4th round, Barry enjoyed to Wasbi so why didn’t Mike get to enjoy the liquorice?
Becasue Barry still had to fight his reaction. He even said he was worried for a second before he got through it. Mike just enjoyed it and didn't have to worry. That's at least how I understood Ben's reasoning. Besides I think he implied that Mike might have leaned to far on the other side of overtly, enthusiastically enjoying it? But in the end it's subjective imo. ben ruled the way he did and I'm sure Mike appreciates your comments :D
Yeah and remember when the spicy poker face. Everyone loves the first wing recipe so how is this any different. They should James judge this instead of Ben because he changes the rules every time
@@werdfeefs7027 Honestly. If he wasn't given the point for the licorice round because he enjoyed it, then Barry shouldn't have gotten the point for the wasabi round.
Yes we need to see that, "Rotten" food challenge: century eggs, Casu marzu (maggot cheese) if you can find some legally, Balut (Philippines chick in egg), Hákarl (Icelandic rancid fish), Airag (Mongolian fermented milk),
Yes to all that and some swedish surströmming (fermented herring) for an appetizer (preferably a can that is at least a year old that has started swelling).
Add in sambal tempoyak to that mix, fermented durian sambal. I just want to see the durian reaction taken to another level with fermented durian, fermented shrimp paste and chilli all in one.
Yeah but it wasn't a peppercorn. And he still clearly struggled with it. Mike probably could have eaten triple the amount of licorice and not had an ounce of struggle.
Barry: I love wasabi Ben: Barry gets the point Mike: I love licorice Ben: Jamie gets the point cause mike loves licorice it doesn’t count..... A little biased against mike?
I’d say the difference is wasabi causes a burning and sinus flush. I love wasabi but a spoonful would cause a visible reaction, if you like licorice it’s just eating candy there isn’t going to be a visible reaction
I'm a Finn who loves her salmiakki, and those featured were not really heavy duty ones. I also love wasabi - but will show eye watering and sweat... possibly drippy nose stuff on the side... and clearing of the throat if need be. :D It's a different beast, but I don't think salmiakki forces your body to react. Wasabi does. :) Well done guys!!! :)
This is one of my favorite themes of yours.. it's entertaining watching the boys suffer, and educational / opens the mind to new things all at the same time.. as peeps have said below, a Chef version would be cool too. I like that once we see them squirm, we also get to see possible practical applications of said 'dodgy ingredients'.
Durian belonged to Jamie, fighting the gag reflex while also trying not to gag from Barry gagging right there? That was impressive. I know "sympathy gagging" is totally a thing. When my siblings used to get sick I struggled every single time. Jamie deserved that.
i'd love to see them try alot more fermented asian products fermented tofu, fermented beans, fermented fish, fermented chilis etc.... they're all really tasty, but somehow hated by typical westerners
Poor Mike, he deserved the liquorice point, it's not his fault that he likes it.... Edit: he won the spicy poker face and he was smiling and singing to fake his way through the pain there
A pokerface means to not show what you actually feel. While Barry might have enjoyed the Flower and Wasabi his face was still neutral while mike showed genuine joy
To be fair, the right species of durian, eaten fresh right after it falls of the tree usually smells like a sweet flower, and it will taste like a sweet custard.
@@owenyeoh1275 Yes I am. I ain't joking about the numbness, it's not a taste, don't know how to describe it, according to the owner, it's due to the freshness of the fruit, so yeah, if you have the opportunity you should try out!
As a swedish salty licorice lover it never gets old to watch you trying to eat it! 😄 When I was a kid you could actually buy cheap licorice root in the pharmacies here. I remember that I really loved it!
Watched this video when it came out 3 years ago and was so curious about Umiboshi. Now I'm in Japan having tried it myself and showed my host family the video. They don't speak much English but they managed to understand enough that we were all laughing together. Sorted really does build global friendships ❤️
I love how it's like, we're trying these foods that are weird to us, but Ben still teaches us about them and how to use it and stuff. It's not all just "eww weird foreign food"
I mean, the food wouldnt be weird to them if they ate it as intended. They’re purposely eating it in gross quantities, even the durian wasnt really eaten correctly. Having it fresh it smells great, but the durian they had was overripe. Gotta be in china to get the good sfuff
Is James okay? :( We haven't seen him in a while and really miss him. Best to bring him back soon while trying some really sour stuff...? O:) With Ben...?
Came back to rewatch this vid all the way through just to make sure I dropped the like and comment after Mike had his moment. Mike; from one Mike to another - the second I saw your head in your hands I had instant sympathetic resonance with that exact feeling. Made sure to come back half a year later just to make sure to give you props after I had some sushi today.
I haven't watched the round yet, but in the spice version of the challenge, remember? Jamie had points deducted for tears (which he cannot control), despite actually keeping a good expression and chatting casually. Maybe they were trying to adjust to the people who were outraged on that? 😂
YES chefs next and get Mike to dish out the points. Never tried them personally but I’ve always wondered about those meat jello salads. Aspic! A real variety of sensations would be great. Spicy, cold, fishy, slimy & chewy, etc.
The szechuan button is sometimes called a buzz button in the US and Disney land blends it to a powder and uses it for some of their cocktails in the star wars bar. Its weird, but strangely addictive
Chef's challenge: Yes. You should do world delicacies like haggis from Scotland, balut (fermented chicken/duck egg) from the Philippines, century egg from China, maggot cheese in Sardinia, Surstromming from Sweden, and rocky mountain oysters from the USA are just to name a few.
To be fair, Rocky Mountain Oysters are only gross conceptually... they've eaten tongue... they have no issue eating organ meat. flavor wise they're not unusual at all
@@Kappetan Huh, the thought has always stopped me but somehow fish eyes were not problem. 🤣 I'm Filipino so I've definitely made my rounds around some interesting food and meat parts, I even enjoy haggis now and then.
@@JadeBlackWolf Yes they have--in two separate videos if I'm not mistaken--but it was a couple of years ago now. Edit: It was in an AfterTaste video in 2016, and then again a year later in Barry's Food Hell video.
There is a fermented salmon that Eskimos and northern natives love. I cannot remember the name off the top of my head, but apparently it makes surstromming seem like fresh Herring. They should also try Muktuk. Salted blubber.
I tasted okra in China for the first time - still buy it from time to time. So nothing challenging here, I think. But I full-heartedly agree with bitter gourd/melon! If someone doesn’t know what ‘bitter’ means, try THAT and you’ll understand 🤣
Oh my god yes. This would be hilarious!! And not from any of these incredible London restaurants takeouts either, we need McDonald’s, KFC, and not forgetting that dodgy kebab place by every nightclub
They did have surströmming a few years back as a “punishment” if a remember correctly. They prepared it incorrectly though cus they just opened the can in air and just took a bite from the fish lol :/// I mean if u just open it like that off it’s going to smell a TON lmao
Durians are tasty! I could finish the whole durian in a sitting. We usually drink fresh coconut (helps to soothe the throat because too much of it can give us a sore throat) and pour water in the durian husk to wash our hands to get the rid of the smell on our fingers. That sign with a $500 fine is from Singapore :)
Yes! I find that durian smells a lot worse than it tastes. I like eating durian after its been kept in the freezer for a while so it gets kind of a custardy consistency.
@Silicon Nomad Oh? Well, we have desserts that actually cook durian. Pengat durian, nagasari durian, those are just a few examples of Malay desserts that cook down the durian. There is also a durian jam spread.
I'm giving Mike an honorary point for the salted licorice.
Yes, we need a chef poker face battle! Let Mike give out the points.
Here are some ideas!
Unusual Texture Challenge:
-lutefisk or something else gelatinous
-foods cooked in gelatin/jello, like aspic
-blended a savory food like a burger
-baby food or some sort of mash/paste
-raw or boiled okra
-soggy bread, like bread soaked in water
Raw Produce challenge:
-ginger
-garlic
-onions
-bitter melon
"Interesting" Salad challenge:
-Waldorf salad
-Ambrosia salad
-Jello salad
-Candle salad
-Perfection salad

Chef's Poker Face Challenge: DEFINITELY YES!!!
The Chefs should have a BRAIN FREEZE poker-face challenge, I have researched and brain freeze is not life threatening
YAAAAS!!
@@digglethedogdad4788 It's boring and there are people who don't get brain freeze, like moi.
I was just about to comment the same thing they should definitely do it
Mike as the judge PLEASE!!
Mike so deserved that one point! Just because he enjoyed it doesn’t mean anything! Barry liked the flower and got the point
Barry didn't enjoy the flower though. he just pretended to well enough to get the point
"Mike's having a moment right now and I really sympathize with him because I've been there. Its horrific and doesn't get any better." - Barry
That sounds like me giving life advice.
Followed by a food he actually likes
I think Mike has been robbed in the Liquorice round, didn’t Barry claim to like the Wasabi?
Excellent point! Ben even said Mike was going to do well because he likes licorice, and then when he DID do well, he didn’t get the point.
Good point !
Mike should've gotten the Liquorice point.
Agreed! Mike should’ve gotten the licorice point
Similar thing with the bud, although the point for Barry eating 4 of those things is damn fair lmao.
100%, AND he said he used the first one previous to this challenge! It's definite robbery in this case.
Can we get a fridge cam like: '''5 Kitchen Gadgets NOBODY Needs'' again?
where you guys are just hammered drunk beyond belief.
I second this.
YES!
*Barry enjoying something*
Ben: "Points to Barry!"
*Mike enjoying something*
Ben: "No points for enjoying!"
🤣🤣
LMAO
It genuinely drives me nuts how overlooked Mike is. He DOMINATED three of those rounds, and it feels like his overall pleasant demeanor just gets completely overshadowed.
Not to mention he genuinely loves licorice
I agree. He definitely won the last two rounds for sure.
Completely agree. Feel for Mike 🥺
Came away thinking that he won as well.
Mike definitely won that challenge.
THE SORTEDFOOD COMMUNITY HEREBY DECLARES TO SECOND THE MOTION TO SEE A CHEF’S VERSION OF ‘Poker Face’
+
I second and third that!
The Chefs should have a BRAIN FREEZE poker-face challenge, I have researched and brain freeze is not life threatening
Weird drinks and foods?
I mean travel man is a not so endless selection of international delights =D
IDEA - weird fish dishes for chefs -
Surströmming (lightly-salted fermented Baltic Sea herring),
Herring Under a Fur Coat (Russian herring salad) or just pickled herring in a jar,
Lutefisk (dried whitefish It is made from aged stockfish),
Sannakji (sliced raw fish usually in Korea),
Tuna eyes,
Shirako (the milt, or sperm sacs, of male cod),
Hakarl (fermented and dried shark from Iceland),
Stinkheads (fermented Salmon from Alaska)
Yes, make the chefs eat stuff.
And give Mike his point! #JusticeforMike
Mike won last time when Jamie got robbed, so I guess it all evens out
Mike was robbed 😩
Make the chefs do it!🥮🍣🍛🍲🦪

Chefs poker face challenge: yes
And since he didn't get a point. Mike gets to choose the itemz
yes!
Yes, that would be amazing, i think the chefs should get some nice fermented foods
Yes, and it should be fermented foods because then he can include surstromming.
@@Xinthium haha that would be amazing it would be some payback from Barry, because they made him open and eat it for his food hell a few years back
@@Xinthium If they do that, I suggest the video be filmed outside, otherwise that studio will reek for months
I feel like we now need to hear more about Mike and his encounters with tequila...
Hey Am ber’s sorry it’s beepingau just wanted to n can
Come to get the rest of the rest lol
Yessss!!! And since Mike’s point was stolen from him, he gets to choose the food!
I second this!
The entire thing was stolen from Jamie last time. Dude actually finished all his chili products, the others took the tiniest bites and sips.
I think Ben maybe said it wrong but I still think it was Jamie's point because Mike showed happiness and the point of poker face is no emotion so I think it was the right decision
Poor Mike, he totally earned at least one point, maybe two.
I thought he deserved two, licorice and durian
Poker face: Chef edition - Fermented Meats and Fish (including Surstromming)
And lutefisk!
Yes, Lutefisk! And also there are a lot of recipes on this channel that I think look both fascinating and terrifying (because I’m not used to them) th-cam.com/video/qsouZwheabQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh yeah.
100% this. They could get some hongeo too, which is fermented skate.
Ebbers wouldn't eat a Big Mac, he wont eat that.
Mike deserves the licorice point. We need James, somethings obviously wrong with Ben. 😂😂😂
James crowned Barry the winner of a food battle where he went waaaay over the time limit of the battle. We seem to have issues all around 😂.
Well, Ben is obviously only concerned with pegging at the moment.
mike's face when he took a sip of the margarita was like error 404 not found
can't like this enough
I rewatched it about 6 times in a row haha

@@cassandramuller7337 small typo there buddy
Definitely robbed in Round 2. I can see Ben's logic for the licorice, but Mike's surprising lack of reaction to Umeboshi was so commendable.
I have never laughed this much in my life. The worst part has to be after Mike took the shot of tequila.
Haha, Mike is really not good with Tequila!
yeah, seemed a bit cruel :)
That was so funny, I almost peed myself laughing!
The Chefs should have a BRAIN FREEZE poker-face challenge, I have researched and brain freeze is not life threatening
Jamie, biting on wood: 'I'm getting a lot of woodiness.'
Tellin' it like it is. :)
If Mike didn’t get the point because he liked the licorice then Barry shouldn’t have gotten the point for the wasabi.
Agreed. Mike was robbed xD
Totally agree... Mike was ROBBED!!!
True true
Yeah and remember when the spicy poker face. Everyone loves the first wing recipe so how is this any different. They should James judge this instead of Ben because he changes the rules every time
Yeah that was plain stupid
CHEFS. THE CHEFS MUST DO THIS. THIS IS A YES. Century Eggs and other foods like it!
I love century eggs. Century eggs in rice porridge is great
Yes!!! Chefs must try international delicacies!
I remember years ago they did try century egg. Ben only gave them 1/4th of it though and immediately got spat out haha.
Yes pls!!!
Heavily fermented foods from around the world
Mike: "Comment below :("
Me, outraged: "I PROMISE"
For real, he got robbed.
@@werdfeefs7027 jaw was on the floor i cannot believe i had to witness a crime like that
SAME
As revenge I think the chef's should get ashens to recommend food for them to try.
@@werdfeefs7027 Honestly. If he wasn't given the point for the licorice round because he enjoyed it, then Barry shouldn't have gotten the point for the wasabi round.
3:53 is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a TH-cam video in my life! I’m literally 🤣🤣🤣
Mike :*proposes revenge on the chefs*
Everyone: now that's a great idea
😅😂
Has it happened yet? If not it needs to.
Why do I picture a chef's pokerface challenge being foods like:
A Cold Big Mac.
Overdone risotto
Unseasoned Pasta
Ben would be out by the Big Mac lol
That just sounds like when you are young and excited to learn cooking and you just somehow managed to F up
I’m calling the Haag for you, for human rights violations.
Overcooked steak
A bowl of soup WITHOUT a fresh sprig of parsley
Yes we need to see that, "Rotten" food challenge: century eggs, Casu marzu (maggot cheese) if you can find some legally, Balut (Philippines chick in egg), Hákarl (Icelandic rancid fish), Airag (Mongolian fermented milk),
Yes to all that and some swedish surströmming (fermented herring) for an appetizer (preferably a can that is at least a year old that has started swelling).
Airag is fine - tasty, even.
Uhm since when was balut "rotten" ?
Add in sambal tempoyak to that mix, fermented durian sambal.
I just want to see the durian reaction taken to another level with fermented durian, fermented shrimp paste and chilli all in one.
Totally unfair that Mike didn’t get the point because he likes licorice, but Barry got the point after saying he likes Szechuan peppercorns!
He did say he liked them, but afterwards he is still clearly suffering, so he is still doing a poker face.
all Barry said is he has had a szechuan bud before. never said he liked them, and he did double what the rest had
Yeah but it wasn't a peppercorn. And he still clearly struggled with it. Mike probably could have eaten triple the amount of licorice and not had an ounce of struggle.
Barry also said he really likes wasabi and won that one.
@@gyroscope915 I always feel that Ben is tough on Mike but lenient on Barry. Which frustrates me as I really feel like Mike tries the hardest 🤷🏻♀️
Barry: I love wasabi
Ben: Barry gets the point
Mike: I love licorice
Ben: Jamie gets the point cause mike loves licorice it doesn’t count.....
A little biased against mike?
Totally agree
No Barry didn’t make a face despite enjoying it whilst Mike did
Mike unfairly won the hot sauce challenge, this is retribution I think. 2 rounds where he should not have received a point yet was awarded the win.
I’d say the difference is wasabi causes a burning and sinus flush. I love wasabi but a spoonful would cause a visible reaction, if you like licorice it’s just eating candy there isn’t going to be a visible reaction
I'm a Finn who loves her salmiakki, and those featured were not really heavy duty ones.

Yes for the chefs. Can just imagine James’ snarky comments.
Brilliant video.
Chef's pokerface challenge: Yes! Surströmming! And other fermented food.
Barry already got to try that one. I think it is only fair that the chefs try it.

May I suggest Casu Marzu : a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese that contains live insect larvae (maggots).

I also suggested the Noni fruit, after you ofc, your take on it was epic
Mike should have gotten the licorice point. The tears diqualify Jamie.
I haven't watched the round yet, but in the spice version of the challenge, remember? Jamie had points deducted for tears (which he cannot control), despite actually keeping a good expression and chatting casually. Maybe they were trying to adjust to the people who were outraged on that? 😂
Now I've watched it, and I DEFINITELY agree, Mike should've gotten that. 😂
Agreed 100%
@@PetWessman If you're chatting casually, you're reacting, thus failing the challenge.
@@Khazandar Last time doing small talk was required though
Chef's Poker face: Good Mythical Morning chooses their worst experiences.
YAAASSSSSSSS!!!
Fantastic idea!!!!!!
You're evil, i like it!
oooh good idea
Ohhhhhh! Yesss! That is the best idea!
YES chefs next and get Mike to dish out the points. Never tried them personally but I’ve always wondered about those meat jello salads. Aspic! A real variety of sensations would be great. Spicy, cold, fishy, slimy & chewy, etc.
Chef’s poker face challenge: Mikes revenge!
Pokerface: Chef edition 100 year old eggs and may be Japanese natto.
Ben will enjoy the natto
I love love love natto!!
@@alexandraw909 I ate natto regularly when I am in Japan and I love it also. But it is not everyones cup of tea .
I would be all for it if they hadn’t all tried the egg together in a past video.
@@JustPlainDontAsk Damn I missed that one.
The chefs totally need to do this; Mike also needs to have gotten a point on a couple of those. Tears disqualify you Jamie. 😂
My favorite is Mike’s reaction to Tequila!! Then everyone is laughing such a great moment
I pissed my pants laughing at Mikes reaction to the bud and Barry's reaction to the puckering. Mike got screwed over the licorice.
“This is your fault” like okay Ben like you weren’t thrilled to subject the boys to this 😂
Wasn't it Ben who created this game?🤣
The Chefs should have a BRAIN FREEZE poker-face challenge, I have researched and brain freeze is not life threatening
Barry got Chef Lanlarded! and next time.. let the chefs go through this ordeal
They will be, don't you worry 😂
AussieAnnie62 you’re an og then lol
@@SortedFood I'm sure us viewers can give you some foods to use mawahahaha
@@SortedFood cant wait!
The szechuan button is sometimes called a buzz button in the US and Disney land blends it to a powder and uses it for some of their cocktails in the star wars bar. Its weird, but strangely addictive
Chef's challenge: Yes. You should do world delicacies like haggis from Scotland, balut (fermented chicken/duck egg) from the Philippines, century egg from China, maggot cheese in Sardinia, Surstromming from Sweden, and rocky mountain oysters from the USA are just to name a few.
To be fair, Rocky Mountain Oysters are only gross conceptually... they've eaten tongue... they have no issue eating organ meat. flavor wise they're not unusual at all
@@Kappetan Huh, the thought has always stopped me but somehow fish eyes were not problem. 🤣 I'm Filipino so I've definitely made my rounds around some interesting food and meat parts, I even enjoy haggis now and then.
they have tried most of these but they haven't tried the fish from Sweden
@@JadeBlackWolf Yes they have--in two separate videos if I'm not mistaken--but it was a couple of years ago now.
Edit: It was in an AfterTaste video in 2016, and then again a year later in Barry's Food Hell video.
There is a fermented salmon that Eskimos and northern natives love. I cannot remember the name off the top of my head, but apparently it makes surstromming seem like fresh Herring.
They should also try Muktuk. Salted blubber.
Yes to Chef's Poker Face Challenge!
Also, Mike was robbed!
Agreed!
Totally
Jamie the red nosed Normal,
Has a very shiny nose,
TH-cam loves him except when,
He made paella burritos 🌯
Omg I was singing this to myself then I saw your comment lol
And here I remembered the time when Barry making a lot of faces when he ate the "hidden" wasabi inside Jamie's sushi during passed it on lol.
Chef's Poker Face Challenge = YES!
Chef's should try:
- Bitter melon
- Okra
I tasted okra in China for the first time - still buy it from time to time. So nothing challenging here, I think. But I full-heartedly agree with bitter gourd/melon! If someone doesn’t know what ‘bitter’ means, try THAT and you’ll understand 🤣
@@Ola74 Needs to be the white bitter gourd juice from taiwan. The green ones aren't as bitter.
Casu Marzu, soft boild fetal duck, or Akutaq I dont know if you can even get these but I would love to see you try to eat them.
@@heartdeyna OMG! Even MORE bitter??? How’s that possible? 😱
Great idea, although I actually find bitter melon quite enjoyable.
I want a chefs version of this.
It's coming..... don't you worry 😉
@@SortedFood Thank you! Can't wait!
@@SortedFood Please let Mike host the episode and decide people's points.
YES. Chef's poker face.
...Day old, reheated, fast food.
Give Ben a Big Mac.
McDonalds cheeseburger, no meat no cheese. One of the worst things I’ve ever eaten.
Oh my god yes. This would be hilarious!! And not from any of these incredible London restaurants takeouts either, we need McDonald’s, KFC, and not forgetting that dodgy kebab place by every nightclub
Was he ever punished for not eating part of the Big Mac when they tried to copy it?
get all your friends, all of your family, everyone you work with. make then like this post to get it to the top. THEY MUST SEE IT!
Diabolical. Love it
I absolutely LOVE those licorice candies. I could eat a whole bag of it 🤤
Jamie has changed more diapers, that’s why he can mind over matter these trials.
3:53 I replayed Mike's reaction about 20 times and I still have trouble trying to breathe🤣
🤣🤣🤣
YES !!! Bring on the chefs !! Strong fish, like the Swedish "dish": Surströmming :D
Absolutely!!!!
The Chefs should have a BRAIN FREEZE poker-face challenge, I have researched and brain freeze is not life threatening
They did have surströmming a few years back as a “punishment” if a remember correctly. They prepared it incorrectly though cus they just opened the can in air and just took a bite from the fish lol :/// I mean if u just open it like that off it’s going to smell a TON lmao
Of course*
Oooh yessss!
I need more poker face!! But I liked it in the beginning when they (mostly Mike) could talk and dance and sing lol. That was the best!
I thought Rudolf left with Santa in December but I guess Jamie has a second job?
I love how the second episode of this became full on “lie about liking foods”
Yeah, not sure I prefer this. I liked how they would tell you how bad it was with a straight face.
"Mike doesn't do tequila, remember his stag do?!" Okay now we need to know what happened 😂😂 Also yes to a chef's challenge in the style of Hot Ones 😁
I love this idea!!
I agree that the chefs should be made to play this game. Can you mix Limburger cheese with Durian fruit and have them eat it? Just an idea.
You Cruel Bastard...Yes have them do it. hahaha
mike deserves redemption, let him judge the chef's round!! honestly im tempted to just watch james eat vegan meat substitutes...
Chef's Poker Face Challenge: Fermented Stuff!
Hahaha great idea!
Fermented stingray, stinky tofu, natto
Uzbek qurt (dried fermented milk balls), Chinese lap cheong, South African sour maize porridge.
SURSTRÖMMING!
Yes, surströmming!
Durians are tasty! I could finish the whole durian in a sitting. We usually drink fresh coconut (helps to soothe the throat because too much of it can give us a sore throat) and pour water in the durian husk to wash our hands to get the rid of the smell on our fingers. That sign with a $500 fine is from Singapore :)
Yes! I find that durian smells a lot worse than it tastes. I like eating durian after its been kept in the freezer for a while so it gets kind of a custardy consistency.
I don't like it but my mum likes it.
Me and my mum can just 2 durians each with ease
I can eat a whole durian paired with a cola and be alive the day after.
yes..! anyway we use fingers to eat durian... nobody uses spoon for durian..! 🤣
This was the most fun video you gang have ever made....THANK YOU...I needed some fun right now...SOOO much! : )
I just want to see the chefs eat everything the normals have eaten so far!
maybe mixed together.
Ben on Durian: "The flesh is sometimes eaten raw"
Let me fix that for you: We (Southeast Asians) mostly eat Durian raw, and with our bare hands.
and it helps when you recover when you're down with a case of dengue fever.
@Silicon Nomad Oh? Well, we have desserts that actually cook durian. Pengat durian, nagasari durian, those are just a few examples of Malay desserts that cook down the durian.
There is also a durian jam spread.
No wait! They need to eat sambal tempoyak!
@@iEGeek Ikr that could be for part 2 😂
Its pretty common to eat it in Brazil like that as well
Mike definitely should have got the point Barry found wasabi and szechaun easier but wasn't penalised for it!
My heart broke when I saw Mike...that being said I absolutely LOVE these poker face challenges
