@@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.
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.
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
"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.
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.
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)
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!!! :)
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.
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
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
@@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.
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
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
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'.
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.
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.
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 ❤️

Chef's pokerface challenge: Yes! Surströmming! And other fermented food.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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!
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 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? 😂
I'm with Mike on this, "poker face" works both ways, yeah you need a good one to bluff but just as good one to keep a straight face when your hand is good. Mike was totally underappreciated in this.
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...?
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.
@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 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 🤣
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
Definitely want to see the chef's poke face challenge, also mike was robbed of that point. Is still a poke face even if you have a good hand or a bad one
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
I’ve just gone back 66 years, there were two sweet shops in Ely, Cardiff, a conventional sweet shop and one was just that little different. It sold liquorice root, 1p a stick. As a five year old I loved it and during the years that followed it was a treat to look forward to when visiting Grans. Thanks for bringing back that memory.
@15:52 yes, in candy stores in the Netherlands I think you can still find them, I used to love this "zoethout" stick when I was a kid. Chewing and chewing untik there was no taste left, then cutting the Piece off and start over... Btw, Love salty licorice!!
lmao 12:18 "Mikes having a moment. I really sympathize with him. I've been there, it's horrific and it doesn't get any better." immediately followed up by IF YOU'RE ENJOYING MIKES SUFFERING, PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO!
I am re-watching all of these poker face challenges in the future. You guys work so hard to keep a straight face, I really appreciate the gamesmanship of each of you. You make me laugh out loud. I need to laugh right now. Thank you.
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

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
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
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.
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
*Barry enjoying something*
Ben: "Points to Barry!"
*Mike enjoying something*
Ben: "No points for enjoying!"
🤣🤣
LMAO
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'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
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
Yes to the Chef's edition! Recommendation would be korean fermented stingray or stinky tofu if it's possible to get these items.
Maybe a century egg?
There's also always Surströmming, which might be easier to come by xD
May I suggest Casu Marzu : a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese that contains live insect larvae (maggots).
@@boobsmakesmile i think bens actually had this before
Mmm! had fluffy stinky tofu in suzhou 🤮
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!
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.
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!🥮🍣🍛🍲🦪

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),

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. 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!!! :)
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 🤷🏻♀️
Mike :*proposes revenge on the chefs*
Everyone: now that's a great idea
😅😂
Has it happened yet? If not it needs to.
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?

@@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.
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
3:53 is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a TH-cam video in my life! I’m literally 🤣🤣🤣
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.
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.
Jamie, biting on wood: 'I'm getting a lot of woodiness.'
Tellin' it like it is. :)
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!

For real, he got robbed.
@@werdfeefs7027 jaw was on the floor i cannot believe i had to witness a crime like that

As revenge I think the chef's should get ashens to recommend food for them to try.

4. Balut
5. Salted Fish
i'd love to see them try alot more fermented asian products

Why do I picture a chef's pokerface challenge being foods like:
A Cold Big Mac.

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.
WHAT THE HELL BEN!!!
The liquorice and durian definitely went to Mike why are you bullying him⚔
I agree, Mike got robbed!
Absolutely this
I agree!
True that!!!

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
Whole point of a poker face is to not show emotion.
I agree. Just because he liked it should not disqualify him. In the hot pepper challenge he was smiling, laughing and (let's not forget) singing.
For real he got robbed
Came immediately here to comment that Ben's reasoning was BS!🤯
As a Finn, the boys' reactions to salmiakki and liquorice root is hilarious to me!
But seems a bit exaggerated - salmiakki is quite yummy (as a German)
I feel so sorry for mike he's there enjoying the 4th challenge and Ebbers is like Naaaa! Jamie good Job!
BIG YES for the Chef's version of a Poker Face Challenge! Also, really unfair for Mike, he really deserved points there.

OMG! Hi noni warrior 🤣🤣
Wtf is a fish mint
I just watched your fish mint video yesterday and thought of you as soon as I saw the title of the video!

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.
"I gave it to ben because mike enjoyed it" mean while Barry like "oh i had this before and liked it! (Gets point)"
To be fair, the liquorice was close, the buds not at all.
Poor Mike, he’s not having a good day is he...
He's really not.
Well at least he knows he doesn't have COVID, he still has a sense of taste ;)
@@SortedFood it was so bad he did an involuntary Janice voice at 9.48
Barry should not of gotten the wasabi point he likes wasabi, based on Ben's point system. Mike deserved the point.
@@melanieraymond8300 I agree 100%. If they had someone who likes durian, would they also not get the point?
Also, salmiakki is delicious. Wimps! 😂
Chefs edition YES, stinky tofu, Balut, and more exotic foods, maybe about 5, its going to be a good episode.
The chefs totally need to do this; Mike also needs to have gotten a point on a couple of those. Tears disqualify you Jamie. 😂
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!
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
I'm with Mike on this, "poker face" works both ways, yeah you need a good one to bluff but just as good one to keep a straight face when your hand is good. Mike was totally underappreciated in this.
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
Chef’s poker face challenge: Mikes revenge!
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...?
I believe he is on vacation. I remember the lads mentioning it in video some time last month
fancanon: He's got a runny bottom
I miss him too💔 He's my favorite❤
@@fireblaze215 Thank you, I somehow missed that. :) That is the best reason for being away, though.
Mike definitely should have got the point Barry found wasabi and szechaun easier but wasn't penalised for it!
"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!!
Yes to Chef's Poker Face Challenge!
Also, Mike was robbed!
Agreed!
Totally
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!
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.
mike deserves redemption, let him judge the chef's round!! honestly im tempted to just watch james eat vegan meat substitutes...
I want the backstory. What did Mike DO to Ben just before they started filming?
Mike got robbed indefinely!
3:53 I replayed Mike's reaction about 20 times and I still have trouble trying to breathe🤣
🤣🤣🤣
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 pissed my pants laughing at Mikes reaction to the bud and Barry's reaction to the puckering. Mike got screwed over the licorice.
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
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.
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
Definitely want to see the chef's poke face challenge, also mike was robbed of that point. Is still a poke face even if you have a good hand or a bad one
“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
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! Various live delicacies - octopus etc.
Give Mike the point!
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
My heart broke when I saw Mike...that being said I absolutely LOVE these poker face challenges
My favorite is Mike’s reaction to Tequila!! Then everyone is laughing such a great moment
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.
I’ve just gone back 66 years, there were two sweet shops in Ely, Cardiff, a conventional sweet shop and one was just that little different. It sold liquorice root, 1p a stick. As a five year old I loved it and during the years that followed it was a treat to look forward to when visiting Grans. Thanks for bringing back that memory.
Jaime's laugh at the end of round 4 made me so happy and smile. It warmed my heart. All my love from Michigan ❤️
@15:52 yes, in candy stores in the Netherlands I think you can still find them, I used to love this "zoethout" stick when I was a kid. Chewing and chewing untik there was no taste left, then cutting the Piece off and start over...
Btw, Love salty licorice!!
Mike was robbed on the licorice round. Getting punished for his preferences.
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.
lmao 12:18 "Mikes having a moment. I really sympathize with him. I've been there, it's horrific and it doesn't get any better." immediately followed up by IF YOU'RE ENJOYING MIKES SUFFERING, PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO!
Yup, the likes make it slightly better 😂
I am re-watching all of these poker face challenges in the future. You guys work so hard to keep a straight face, I really appreciate the gamesmanship of each of you. You make me laugh out loud. I need to laugh right now. Thank you.
Yes! I want to see the chefs do this, Ben is far too comfortable over there in his corner :)
