- Hello and welcome to another episode of Trash Taste. I'm your host for today, Garnt, and joining me once again are the boys. And this is going to be the least controversial episode we've ever had.

that I've ever had on Trash Taste. - I swear we say that every episode. - Why is it gonna be not controversial at all? - It's not gonna be controversial because every three by three episode, there has never been zero controversies because we're doing another three by three episode guys, where we just talk about stuff we like. - We haven't done one of these in a while, have we? What was the last three by three we did? - I think it was music. - Yeah, music. - Was it?

That was like two years ago, what the fuck? - Yeah, we're just sharing things that we like that means something to us. And what could be controversial about that, right? So we decided for this episode, the one thing that we often like to talk about on Trash Taste is food, but we've never listed out some of our favorites foods. So we decided to make a three by three of our favorite foods.

- Of food. - Food three by three. - Of food three by three. I don't really know what that meant. It just kind of- - It just means your nine most favorite or the nine foods that define you the best. - How did you guys go about putting together your list? What kind of-

- Okay. - Depths of the heart. Did you tap into it? - I have some, which is like, I have a very great attachment to for nostalgic reasons. I have ones where it's like, I can eat this in any situation, any time of the day. And then I have ones which are like, this is kind of a secret banger. These are ones where it's like, it's not the number one- - Secret banging on shit. - It's not a number one,

- It's a number one charting hit, but it has a cult fan base type of deal, you know? - Cult fan base in my heart. - Yeah, cult fan base in my heart. - I'm just nonstop bangers. Now that's what I call food. - We'll be the fucking judge of that. - Nonstop bangers. - We'll be the judge of that. - Nonstop bangers. - That's what I call food. That's what the album, the cover is gonna be my food battery. - Yeah, for me, it's just like, these are the dishes where I was thinking about, you know how sometimes you like,

crave a dish and then sometimes you think about eating that and you're like, "Ah, I'm already feeling that." All of these dishes I could eat anytime, no matter where I am, where I am in the world. - Yeah, me too. - I feel like it's the same. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Same time decided, like, you hand this to me, I eat it. - Yeah, if you hand these stuff to me, I always got time. I don't need to be craving it 'cause I always am craving it, no matter what.

- Okay, we're all on the same base level in that regard, but now it's up to what we actually chose. - We have to discuss, but let's not judge each other. - Let's not judge each other, right? - Let's remain- - What's the fun in that? - Let's remain civil in all this. - Are you saying we're like 180 something episodes in and we're suddenly not gonna judge each other anymore? - I just think that we should understand each other a bit more sometimes. I don't think we don't do that enough on "Trendy Stories." - Are you telling that to yourself? - No, no, no.

I just know that you guys are gonna say mean things. So I just think you're gonna say nice things. - I don't think you're gonna say any mean things about my one. Mine are all just like- - Oh fuck off, what did you do? Like, oh pizza and I like chicken and I like fucking- - Pad Thai. - Pretty much. - I swear to God, if you have the most basic list, I'm gonna be so pissed off. - Yeah, then we're gonna criticize you. - You're gonna look at my list and you're gonna be like, yeah, this is gone.

- We're gonna criticize you for being too normie. - There has to be a food that you look at and you go, objectively, I know this is not like the top food of all time for other people, but for me, it's a banger. - Yeah. - I don't know. - It's about defending your honor. - I don't know if there is. I was trying to think about if I have any hot food takes and I have no hot food takes. - What did they do to you when you were a monk, huh?

- He's too content. - All right, shall we get started with the list? I believe we are once again going to be having Trashbox Kun up and about. - Yeah. - We're resurrecting him right now. - We are resurrecting him. - He's currently being stuffed with our names. - We have to create a seance to get him back from the dead right now. - So if this is your first three by three episode, if you don't know what a three by three is, it's a-

- It's a list of basically a, as it sounds like a three by three list. - Which is nine. - Which is nine. - Top nine foods. - Very good. - Top nine foods of us. - Occasionally I math. - All right. - All right, first up is Garnt. - All right, I'm just gonna go on, if we go in this order. - All right, all right, all right. - I kind of don't want to go last. - Let's get my list up, let's get my list up.

- What the fuck am I looking at here? - Let me explain this right now because- - Okay, hold on. - Okay. - Oh no, maybe just leave it there. - We'll do both. - We'll do both. - All right. - Hold on, hold on, hold on. - All right. - Okay. - What? - Okay, so let's go in order. - So from top left to right, we have Pad Kra Pao, which is my Thai comfort food.

- It's like the power to white people, right? - Yeah, yeah. We have McDonald's breakfast. - Oh my God. - Specifically the, okay, so Pizza Hut had this limited edition run. - The crossless? - They had this limited edition run that I discovered when I was a kid and I still internalize and remember this to this day. It's called The Edge. It's not on offer anymore, but I,

I dream about this shit. If they bring this back, I am going, I am flying all the way to England or America just so I can eat this again. - Yeah, but you have to have Pizza Hut. - It's the edge. - Okay, let's not get hung up on it right now. - All right, let's move on then. - We have...

I don't care what chocolate it is. - You are a chocolate fiend. - I don't care what chocolate it is, you put it in Easter egg form, I don't know, it just tastes 10 times better. I don't know why I could eat Easter eggs all day. Obviously lasagna, that should not be a surprise for me. - World famous, yeah. - I kind of realized this when I was making this list, but I just like wings. Not like fake wings, just like, I just- - What is fake wings?

- You know what fake wings are. - I don't know what you mean by fake wings. What do you mean by fake wings? - Boneless wings. - They're not fake wings. - They're very much real wings. - They're very real, excuse me. - I just fucking love chicken wings. And I've loved them ever since I was a kid. - Yeah, chicken wings are great. - On the bottom left, that's not specifically sushi. That's just salmon nigiri.

- Oh, okay. - Just salmon nigiri. - Just salmon nigiri. - Just salmon nigiri. - Okay, no tuna, no white fish, nothing like that? - No. - Okay. - No. - Okay. - Got it. - On the bottom, it is smoked meat, American barbecue. - Like spare ribs and shit? - Like spare ribs. - All right, all right. - All right, Schopenberg. - Yeah. - And on the bottom right is instant ramen, Shin instant ramen.

- Shin specifically or just- - Shin specifically. - Okay, all right. - Instant ramen. - I might come out a little bit swinging here. - All right. - Gapao, honestly, not the best Thai food. There's so much better Thai food out there.

- I will say that the reason I put Grappel on isn't because I thought it was, it isn't because it's, I think it's the best Thai food. - Okay, okay. - Okay. - That was a bold thing for me to say to a Thai man. - Let me. - I'm just saying. - You really came out swinging with that one. - Connor really said, let me teach you about your own culture. - Let me just tell you right now, your food, you have better food than this guy. This is not your strongest fighter. That's what I'm saying. - Okay, here's the thing. Grappel, right?

if you go to a Thai restaurant, right? I think everyone who has like, who has like a grew up with a cuisine, they have this. It's like the test. - Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. - If you go to a restaurant of a certain cuisine, everyone has like that dish to test the quality of that restaurant. - It's like a steak for like,

- Yeah, yeah. - Sure. - To me, I always order the Grappel first as like the baseline test of like, if this is good, if you can make this slap, probably most things on this menu absolutely fucking slap because Grappel is like,

to me like the Thai comfort food, right? Everyone knows how to make it. Everyone knows how to make it. You can find it pretty much in most street places, in most places, everywhere you go in Thailand, this is available, right? So to me, this is not only like my comfort food every time I go to Thailand, it's not like the food I always, I'm like raring to eat, but to me, this is the baseline taste test of everything that Thai food represents. And you need,

It's like basically like when Gordon Ramsay asked someone to cook an omelet. If you can't cook this correctly, I do not trust you to handle anything else about my cuisine. - I think for me, Gapow leveled up. You know like that picture of Donald Duck when he has a boner and then he's in the air. I mean, when I started putting the fish or the fish sauce on it, I was like, holy shit, this is like a different dish now.

- Okay, so you need to put the fish sauce with like the fresh chilies chopped in it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that's- - It was like a different, I was like, holy shit, this tastes so much better. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's what they serve it with in Thailand. - Yeah, and I didn't know that 'cause obviously when you're in like a British restaurant, they won't give you this.

'cause it does smell horrific. - Oh, it does. - Well, not horrific, it smells quite nice, but it's just so strong. - Yeah. - Even like a tiny little container. But when I started adding it to it, I was like, wait. - Yeah, right. - Galaxy brain moment. Like, I'm like, oh, this food is so much better now. - Yeah. - Yeah, I do admit. It slaps. - And like, you know, in terms of like Southeast Asian kind of like rivalry,

- Me and Meilin get into like fucking friendship ending arguments on which- - Thai versus Vietnam. - On which country has the better fish sauce. - Sure. - I will die for Nam Pla. I will die for Thai fish sauce and Meilin's like, no. - She's probably preference, right? - My opinion is I think the Thai one's better. - Hell yeah. - I like the Vietnamese one too, but I think personally I prefer the Thai one. - Can I say that Pad Thai is kind of mid?

- Yeah, you can. - Can I say it okay? - Have you ever seen me order Pad Thai? - No. - I mean, I like Pad Thai, but I know it's not the best thing. - That's like the introduction for white people to Thai food. - Yeah. - Like, oh, this is kind of cool. This is kind of ethnic guys, right? And you eat it a bunch, you're like, wait, this is probably like the least flavorful Thai dish. - It is. I think one thing about Thai dishes

- It's like diet Thai food. - Well, I say least flavorful Thai dish. It still has way more flavor than like 99% of British food that I grow. - Yeah, I kind of realized this after trying different kinds of cuisines, which is like Japanese cuisine, especially, obviously British food, which is,

Thai or a lot of Southeast Asian cuisine is just packed full of flavor, which is kind of why I think, you know, I really like Nando's 'cause Nando's was the closest thing to reminding me of something that is not exactly

you know, Thai food, but has that kind of like same- - That burst of flavor. - Same like flavor profile. - Sure, sure. - Like we talked about one of our, you know, Japanese staff members who complained that Nando's had like- - Too much flavor. - Too much flavor, you know? - Which is wild. - That's a crime. You can't describe food like that. That's fucked up. - And to me, like Thai food has always been, you know, now that I've tried different cuisines, it's like the ingredients we can get in Thailand

aren't the same as fucking wagyu beef or like some of the pork sausages we can get in England. But we make up for that shit by just,

chucking a shit ton of spices and a shit ton of meat, sorry, a shit ton of like chilies and flavor in it. And that's how we make up for that. - Sometimes more is more and that's fine. Sometimes adding more flavor is great. Like let's not reduce it. - All right, so Kapow makes sense. Explain the fucking sausage egg McMuffin.

- Do I need to explain the sausage egg McMuffin? - Okay, in a fucking three by three though. - This is like a ride or die food. - Yeah, yeah. - I mean, I like it. - I actually had it yesterday. - Oh my God. - I mean, I like it, don't get me wrong. I'm not gonna say no to one. - Did you get it delivered though or did you go to the store? You can't get it delivered. I just feel like it's a different item when it's delivered.

- I sometimes get it delivered. When I'm hung over, when I'm hung over. - No, no, no, no. - But okay. - Dude, it has like a five minute window of being good, the egg McMuffin. - No, no, no. - Wait, which one do you get? Which McMuffin do you get? - The sausage and egg McMuffin. - Okay. - With the hash browns. I couldn't include hash browns in this, but it is the set as a whole, the sausage, egg McMuffin, and the hash browns. - The McDonald's hash browns. - You know what?

- I'm a fucking fiend for this. There are more times where I order two of them than when I just get one. One does not satisfy me. - Do you do the double or do you do the single? - If I can get the double, I'll get the double. - You got one double over two singles? - I'll get two doubles. - Two. - That's four sausage patties, dog. - They are so good. - I'm sorry, I wasn't familiar with your game, Garnt. - You know what, okay, okay. This might be a hot take.

I generally do not care about McDonald's that much compared to their breakfast menu. - I've heard that a few times. - Their breakfast menu to me eclipses anything else. Like I actually don't normally crave McDonald's. Like generally, like I know people like get deep fucking craving for McDonald's. - Me, I am people. - Me, me. - Yeah, yeah. - I'm gonna stop you right there Garnt. Let me introduce an item called the McDonald's fries when they are fresh.

They are unbeatable, unmatched as a fast food item. They are the best thing known to man. And also some of the burgers I like more.

- Yeah, I like the burgers more. - My problem with the McDonald's breakfast, and this has been a constant theme throughout my life, and somehow normal McDonald's doesn't do this to me, the breakfast items in particular make me feel awful. I feel- - Get the fuck out. - I feel- - Compared to the rest of McDonald's? - I can eat a Big Mac. I don't know what it is about the Egg McMuffin. I love it, but holy shit, do I feel like I've been through the ringer when I've eaten it.

- No, no. - I only get McDonald's breakfast when I'm like severely hungry. - Also, I'm gonna put- - I will never eat it. - I'm gonna put me on the cross right now. I do not like the hash browns in the breakfast. - Okay. - I don't, I don't. - Okay. - Here's my complaint. - What? - I was on your side until you said that. - Listen, here's my problem. Everywhere in the world I've had McDonald's. They're too oily.

- There's too much oil in the hash brown. - Okay, McDonald's is the one place where you can- - I know, I know, there's supposed to be oil, but they just put a little too much, man. - But that's what I mean. Like, that's why- - That's what I love about it. - That's why I only eat this particular combo of sausage, egg, McMuffin with the hash brown on a morning where I'm severely hungover. 'Cause otherwise I feel like shit. - But like, I know people who will go to McDonald's and get five hash browns in the morning. - Oh, that's psychotic. - I'm like, how is your stomach alive? - All right, to flip it on its head,

McDonald's hash brown is the only hash brown I like. - Okay, that's fair. - That's fair. - I'll allow it. - To me when I get like a full English, they have the hash browns over there and I eat it. And I'm like, the only thing I can think of is

Man, I just wish I had a McDonald's hash brown right now. - It's very stodgy generally. Like it's a lot of like just carbs. - I mean, the thing about the McDonald's hash brown is like, yes, it's greasy. I think it's like the perfect amount of grease to me. But like, it's also like, I don't know, something about like the thinness of this, the thinness of it as well. And it's got that, sometimes it's not always like perfectly crunchy. Sometimes it's a little bit chewy, but it's like- - Soggy.

- Yeah, soggy. I wouldn't say chewy. - Not chewy, it's soggy, Garnt. Let's be realistic here, let's be grown up. - It kind of crumbles in your mouth because it's a little bit soggy. - Okay, I don't like hash browns if they're too crunchy. - Okay, you have them raw, right? You don't add any sauce to it. - No, no, I have them raw. - That's crazy to me.

- I have them rolled. - I do, I have a bite roll and then I'm like, hold on, I need like the vinegary-ness of the ketchup to help with the oil here. Oh, sorry, with the, yeah, the vinegary-ness of ketchup to help with the oil of the hash brown. - I don't think I've ever used sauce on a hash brown before. - No, I love ketchup with hash brown.

- That actually makes so much sense. I don't know why I never thought. - Yeah, it's literally from- - No, that's why hash browns are perfect 'cause they don't need fucking ketchup in them. They don't need anything. - I mean they're good just by themselves. - The McMuffin doesn't need any condiments. - I will admit of the breakfast menu, the sausage McMuffin is the best one. All other items are red herrings. You should not order them.

People who get the bacon one, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you. It is not a good item. - That is just the inferior one. - It tastes bad. - All I'm saying is that you could just remove every menu item from McDonald's aside from the breakfast menu and McFlurry's

and I will be very happy. - No, I would be. - I can live my life. - What the fuck are you saying? - I think I would actually prefer that knowing that the breakfast menu was available all day, all time. - It is, in America. - In America, only in America though. - But that ruins the mystique of the breakfast menu. The reason why the breakfast menu is so good is 'cause you happen to wake up with the boys and you happen to be at McDonald's with the boys at 9:55 AM and you're like, "Guys,

- We can make it. - Yeah. - We can do it. - The golden five minute. - Yeah, you're like, well, it's 11, right? 11 it ends, right? - I don't know. - I'm not sure what time it is. But in the UK, I think it's 11. Anyway, you've made it in time to experience the double McMuffin. - I think the only time I've ever ordered a McDonald's breakfast is when I've stayed out all night to the point I've missed the last train and it's like five in the morning and I'm like, I guess I'll go get McDonald's.

- That's the only time I've gotten it. - Part of the reason I think this is- - Or if I'm on a fucking road trip with Chris. - Yeah, Chris is a McDonald's fan. - Yeah, part of the reason I think this is maybe this is a hot take. I don't know if it is because you know, I just don't think McDonald's is that good anymore. I don't know. - Wait, anymore as in like since when? - I don't agree with this take. - Since I was a kid. - I don't agree with this take. - I think I've just grown up.

I remember I had this point. - You got fucking edgeless pizza there. What are you talking about? - Look, I don't know if something about me has changed, but every time I've ordered McDonald's within the past four or five years, I have this mental image about how it tastes when I was a kid. And then I take a bite. - Okay, did you have McDonald's birthday parties?

I don't know if I had McDonald's birthday party, but like- - So then how do you- - You'd remember if you had a McDonald's party. - Yeah, you would remember. - That's a canon event. - Yeah. - Okay. - In a kid's life. - I think I went to McDonald's birthday parties, but I never had one for myself. - That's close enough. - Yeah, that's good. - Yeah, so I went to McDonald's birthday parties. But yeah, I mean like, I fucking love McDonald's, obviously as a kid, teenager, it's just the comfort food.

- You know what? You know what ruined me with McDonald's? Ironically enough, I think America ruined me. 'Cause like the American McDonald's. - It was bad. - No, no, not just the American McDonald's, but- - Just America in general? - Just America.

- Eating American fast food and tasting how good fast food can be in America. Ever since I had that like awakening of just like- - What's the golden standard of fast food? - Oh, this is what fast food should taste like. - What's the golden standard for you? - Fast food. - What's the best fast food American joint? Go. - Best fast food American joint. Even just going to somewhere like, I don't know,

I know Five Guys isn't in the same realm, but just like Culver's, any kind of like- - Like not necessarily a burger joint, right? - Yeah, I'm also thinking about places like Chick-fil-A and other fast food establishments. Ever since I had the ceiling, the taste of that, ever since then, after then, I've tried ordering McDonald's and that magic's just gone.

Every time I order Nugs, I'm thinking, fuck. - Oh, you're getting nuggets? What's wrong with, nuggets are awful. - I like the nuggets. - Why? They're like the most tasteless piece of rubber in your life. - Yeah, ever since I've tasted American fast food, I've gone back to like, I've just not craved McDonald's

except for McDonald's breakfast, which is still goaded. - Nah, I understand why you're so biased, Garnt. - Every now and then I get the craving to get a double cheeseburger or a Big Mac. Every now and then I'm just like, I can't shake it. There is nothing else right now that will satisfy that need than a double cheeseburger or a Big Mac. - This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

- All right, okay. - It just doesn't taste that good. - I love it. - It doesn't taste, it kind of like blew my mind to realize, shit, I've been programmed to like this stuff because I liked it as a kid and then I have like, I actually bite down to have a taste and I'm like,

"Fuck, I don't think this tastes as good as I remember it." - I don't know, man. I don't wanna hear this coming from the guy who put the Edge from Pizza Hut on his list. - I love the fucking double cheeseburgers at McDonald's. - Oh, dude, they're so good. - Okay, explain the fucking Edge. What the fuck is this? Come on. - Okay. - What is this? - Obviously, it was my introduction to realize that. - Pizza Hut? - Crustless pizza? - Yeah, it's Pizza Hut. - Pizza Hut? Okay. I will say,

- Pizza Hut. - No. - No, do not defend Pizza Hut. - Wait, wait, wait, wait. - What are you saying? - Okay, to completely just disregard my previous argument about McDonald's and like childhood memories and all that shit. Pizza Hut just has this certain smell. - No.

- That no other pizza joint can like- - Yeah, it has the smell of day old kitchen grease. That's what it has the smell of. - I love it when my pizza, I can break it over my leg. - No, no, no, no, no. Like, you know how Subway has that smell? Like whenever you walk, it's such like an iconic smell. No, it's not iconic. It's not a smell. It is smell when you go there, but like it smells well. - It's got a good smell. - It smells way better than it tastes. - Sure, sure.

To me, no other pizza joint, like the kind of like mainstream pizza joint, no other mainstream pizza joint has that unique smell except for Pizza Hut. I don't know what it is, but pizza- - All of them have their own email. - See, I don't understand this because I think I was one of those weird kids who never got like chain pizzas.

Like my parents never ordered from like Pizza Hut or Domino's. Like my dad made pizzas every Friday. - We never got them. - So like, I don't know this like, I don't have any like nostalgia with like Pizza Hut or Domino's. - Okay, I did because like, you know, when I was growing up a broke ass kid,

- I can't remember what day it was, but one day of the week they would do like all you can eat pizzas at Pizza Hut. That was like my pizza intake for the month. - Yeah, it's a UK thing. I went as well. - That's crazy. - I did like that a lot and that's how I got Pizza Hut pilled. And then I grew up and I was like, wait, this is the worst. This is the worst of all the pizza chains. - What's the best one? - In the UK, some people say Papa John's, but I think Domino's in the UK is really good. - Right, right. - I think Domino's is much better. - I think they're all really good. I'm not really, like to me,

I think taste wise, I prefer Papa John's, but sometimes I just get that craving for a pizza. I get a craving for just that, the whiff of that smell, whatever that pizza hut smell is, man. - Of all pizzas, the fucking pizza hut edge is in your top nine. - Yes, it is. - That's psychotic. - I dream about this shit, man. You know why? It's unobtainable anymore.

- Because you can make this. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - It's clouding your judgment because it's unavailable. You think it's better than it was. This is shit, it's shit. - Because there are pizzas that are like this that are available, which is kind of like the crustless pizzas. But I've been searching every time I look for in America, I see this kind of pizza and I'm like,

This is gonna be the one. This is gonna be the one that gives me back the memories again. This is gonna be really reliving my childhood, but it's missing that smell. It's missing that Pizza Hut smell of just whatever that Pizza Hut smell. I'm pretty sure they just sprinkle this with like happiness. - Okay, well that's not true.

- An angel dust. - Or the sadness of underpaid staff. - That must be what it is. - Pizza in recent years is just a sad shell of what it was. And even when it was at its peak, it wasn't very good either. - Yeah, Pizza fell off.

- Did it fall off? - Yeah. - I think it might have fallen off. - In the US especially. - Do you know why it fell off? - Because they got rid of this off their menu. - Once they bring the edge back, back to West here baby. - Bring back the cold classic. - It fell off because of shit. - No.

- I mean, like to me, obviously I'm going to enjoy a crustless pizza, but also just like the fit. - So are you saying the only difference between this Pizza Hut Edge and every other crustless pizza is that every other crustless pizza is not made by Pizza Hut? Is that what you're saying? - Pretty much. - Also what I can't fathom is that we had this whole big fucking deal about how I said American pizza was better than Italian pizza. And here you are putting a fucking American style pizza on your nine by nine best foods of all time.

- You looked me in the face and lied to me about saying that the other style of pizza was superior. - I mean, it only just hasn't come around to- - How do you apologize to the Italians, Garth? - Look, look, look. I am putting something on here that is like, to me, if they brought this back,

I will happily admit that American pizza is not- - Oh my God. - But it's not obtainable anymore, okay? It lives off in the dreams of my childhood, okay? - It's like waiting for the second coming of Christ. - You were like- - It'll happen one day. - You were like preposterous. How could he even consider American pizza be better than the superior- - It'll happen one day and when that day comes, I will be a believer again. - Your legions are paper thin, guys.

- The Bible could drop a sequel and I'd be like, and Pizza Hut could drop the Edge, like a rerun of the Edge. And I'd be like, all right, all right. - Bible two, Bible two, all right. - Italians, do you hear this? This man didn't care about your pizza. He wanted something better this entire time. He was hoping the Americans would swoop in and save the day. - I still stand by you Italians, don't worry. - Please, please, just re-release the Edge, please. I thought you were gonna be like, "Pizza Hut, please sponsor us."

- Just give me back. I know kind of recently had a rerun in America and I was dumb enough to not fly to America to just relive that dream. And I regret that every moment of my life. - But hypothetical, if you did, right? Hypothetically, you flew back hearing about the Edge 2 coming back, right? - The Edge 2.

- The edging, you know, you hear that it came back, right? And you buy it, all right? And you're expecting all the nostalgia to flow back. What if it's not the same? - It will be the same. - But what if it's not?

- What if there's just something about the recent Peter Hart as opposed to your childhood? - Yeah, and what if the earth is flat, Joey? It's not, why are you asking me a hypothetical question? - Yeah, but would you still love it? Would you still love it? - Yeah, of course. - Of course. - You're on full code mode, dude. I can't believe you. - I have no doubt that I will love this exactly the same. - Oh my Lord. - Absolutely not.

But there's no way to prove it because they're never gonna bring it back until they do, until they do. - Hey, if Trash Taste fans put enough pressure on pizza. - So what happens is that you- - If they do, I will actually like just fly to America. I'll look for like a- - Hashtag bring back the edge. - Yeah, I would look for an excuse to visit like Sid's family and they'll be like, okay, but the real reason I'm here is. - Don't you just like- - Mom, dad, take me to Pizza Hut right now. - Isn't it, which style of pizza is it, which square?

- Chicago style pizza? No, that's- - Yeah, Chicago style pizza. - Is it the square one? No, it's Detroit, right? Am I crazy? Chicago? - Chicago style pizza. - Yeah, they have the square one where the middle, yeah, the middle pieces are like edge. - It's this. - Yeah, it's the edge. There's no crust. It's just the middle. - No, no, no, but you don't understand. It's not made by pizza. - Yeah, it's not made by pizza. - Oh my God. - That's the whole point we're getting at. That's why this is stupid. - This is so fucking dumb. This is dumb. Your list is dumb.

- Chocolate and egg form. - Chocolate and egg form. Explain this. - What the fuck? - I kind of understand where you're coming from. I hate to admit, I kind of get where you're coming from with this. - I don't know why. - Just like- - Explain it to me. - Okay, so sometimes a chocolate bar is just way too fucking much.

- Just like a chocolate and barf. - Shit, why do I relate to this? - You know what I mean? Like a chocolate and barf and like, here's the thing, it has to be a hollow egg. I've had like completely solid chocolate eggs. - Where the fuck have you gotten solid eggs from?

- Oh, they make like the smaller ones. - You don't get that fucking side. That's like half the global chocolate supply. - To me an egg is just the best way to present chocolate. There's just something that's just- - I just have really good memories of Easter time.

- Yeah, right. - All I can think about is a fucking TikTok of that sculpting chocolate guy where he makes like the cock and then he sculpts it into like a bird. But it's like a full on dick for like one part. You know what I'm talking about? - Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. - Chocolate cock sculpture, the TikTok guy. I don't know what the fuck he's talking about. - It's always like whenever he sculpts something, it's always like cock shaped until it's not. - It just starts off like whoa.

- Oh, oh wait, it's an eagle. Oh yeah, of course, of course I knew it was an eagle. - What is this? - Penis, that's no search up. - I woke made of chocolate. Yeah, go to one more. Maybe click that Reddit one. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's this fucking guy. - It's always the ball. - This fucking guy. Yeah, this is the one. This is the one that looks like a dick. Look at this shot. - Let me see this. - I don't know, check this out. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, so it's a, all right. Oh yeah, okay.

- Oh my God. - He knew exactly what he was doing. - But he's making a snake. - It's like, oh. - I knew there was a snake. I knew it was a snake the entire time. I knew it was a snake too. Yeah, that makes sense. - Holy fuck, that's impressive. - I would have known better if it was a cock. - If it was a massive cock. - If it was actually a cock. - Anyway, back to the, sorry, this is just what my brain- - Yeah, anyway, we're distracted by chocolate cocks. - All right. - All right. - Oh, this is a dragon. I thought it was gonna be the eagle.

- Yeah, sorry penis cock. - Penis cock? - I was like trying to, oh yes. - So you're saying everything is better in egg form. Now explain your logic for that 'cause I don't understand this notion. - Okay, so like, it's like when it's an egg form, it's just the perfect thickness, okay? It's, it's...

- Sometimes you bite into like a chocolate bar and it's just too fucking much. It's just like way too hard. It's too much chocolate to chew through. - What are you fucking 90 with dentures? What are you talking about? - But with like a chocolate- - No, no, it's like it's too much sweetness all at once. - Yeah, it's too much chocolate. - With like a chocolate egg, you can just break it off and it's just like break it off into nice little bite sized pieces. - It's like eating potato chips. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Perfect size and shape and thinness. - You know, you can get like little bags, right? Of like mini chocolate. So you can have like little bite-sized chocolates. - No, no, no, no, no, no. That's still too thick. It needs to be like- - Huh? - It needs to be like- - It's the idea that you can just break it off like that. - Yeah, it's like just nice and thin and you could just break it off like a bigger piece and it's just so much more fun. - Also makes the best noises when you bite into it. - Most, yeah. Like a lot of chocolate bars, there are a lot of thin chocolate bars out there.

- They're not egg shapes. - They're not egg shapes. - They're not egg shaped. Like it doesn't- - What the fuck is the egg shape? - Also it's that childhood joy when you got one of those massive ones during the Easter and you're just like, can I break it? Can I smash it? And they're doing that. Still fun as an adult. - Wait, what the fuck, you smash it? - Wait, wait, how'd you eat an Easter egg?

- What, like a regular size Easter egg? - Yeah, okay, so you get like a large Easter egg, right? - Like how big are we talking? - Like kind of like this size. - Oh, that size? - Well, it's not like bite size, but it's like one of the larger ones at the supermarket. - Okay. - Do you take like a first bite or do you break it? - Oh, I break it.

- You break it? - Yeah. - Do you smash the whole thing? - Oh yeah. - What? - That was my favorite thing. Dude, when I was a kid, I used to get my sister to hold the egg as I'd fucking like punch it in like that. That was the most fun thing ever. - You're a barbarian. - It's so fun. - You were meant to like make a little indent and slowly chip away at it. - No, what's the fun in that? - Because it keeps the form of the egg. - It doesn't matter, I'm gonna eat it all in a day.

- Yeah, but then you can snap it into sizes that are preferable instead of having crumbs everywhere. 'Cause the worst part of the egg, which is why I don't agree with this take is that more often than not, it just ends up like crumbling or little fucking crumble pieces in the egg. - I fucking love though. - Oh, I fucking hate that. - Because you know- - 'Cause then you can fucking- - Oh, I'd love my microscopic bites of chocolate. - Oh, it's great. - No, it's not great. - It's like microdosing on chocolate. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because when you get to the end of the egg, you have this little pile of chocolate crumbs and you're just like.

- I hate that. I don't want- - I'm totally on board with this. - I'm not like Oliver Twist. I don't want fucking crumbs of chocolate. - I'm totally on board with this. - It's like a little extra. It's similar to like- - It's the equivalent of cleaning off the potato chip bag. - Exactly, that's it. - That's the best part. - Yeah. I don't know. Like this is just to me, the best way to present chocolates. If I could just go without a chocolate bar and just

be sold chocolate Easter eggs all year round. I would buy the Easter egg. - Okay, what kind of chocolate are we talking about? Are we just talking like dairy chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate? What's your favorite? - I mean, I'm like a basic bitch. Just give me like dairy milk chocolate. - Dairy milk, what about you? - I prefer dark chocolate. - I prefer dark chocolate. - I also like white chocolate. I know it's not chocolate technically, but I do like it a lot. - But to me, white chocolate and dark chocolate,

- They're completely different things to me, right? - Okay, let's just talk about whom? - Okay, no, no. I guess, how can I explain this? - Yeah, I was gonna say, 'cause you're saying it like they are different things. - I was like, that's crazy. - Yeah, yeah. They inhabit,

I crave them, but like it's only in like certain situations. - Dark chocolate I wanna have at the end of the meal, maybe with a coffee. I never wanna have a ton of chocolate though. I just don't ever wanna eat a full bar. - To me I can have like milk chocolate anytime, any mood. - I've had a Toblerone in my fridge for the past year and every month I take a block out. - See that's the problem with Toblerones. I fucking love Toblerones, they're too thick.

- Yeah, yeah they are. - If we had Toblerone in egg form, I'd destroy that in a day. - Holy shit, you're so right Joey. - I would destroy that in a day. - If it's in egg form, I could eat Toblerone all day long. - Toblerone every day. - Where are they?

- Yeah. - 'Cause the chocolate itself- - That ruins the whole point of the Toblerone. - But the chocolate itself is so banger. If we had that exact same flavor in egg form- - It's banger 'cause it's thick and they can fiddle on a little shit in there. - No, no, no, no, no, no. There's not thickness in the eggs. - No, there's not. You just were saying how they need to be thin. So now, which one- - We're not talking like paper thin. We're talking like not a fucking full brick.

the perfect thickness, you know? It's the perfect thickness of chocolate, which is not like paper thin, you know, there's still some texture to it. There's still, you know, you still get like the chocolate, enough chocolate flavor, but it's just not overwhelming. You know, it's,

- Chocolate eggs, best way to present chocolate. - Agreed. - This is fucking lasagna shit. - Lasagna is just the best pasta. - I disagree with that. - It's just the best pasta. - I feel like I'm being contrary on purpose. I actually just don't think that's the best pasta. - What's the best pasta? - I hate to say this, but I think like, as I've gotten older, lasagna has been slowly going down my ranks of pasta tier list. 'Cause to me it's like,

- Don't say some like bougie shit like gnocchi. - No, I don't like gnocchi that much. Gnocchi is too starchy. I think lasagna to me is like almost as I get older is closer to like pizza and like deep dish than it is to like traditional pasta. - You're saying that like it's a bad thing. - Well, no, I mean, it's like, but I think like lasagna is far more far removed from pasta than I initially envisioned it being.

- Yeah, I kind of agree with that. It was my favorite when I was a kid. - Yeah, 'cause it was like pizza. - Yeah, 'cause it's like pizza. - It's like a condensed pizza. - But like, yeah. - They just kind of like- - It's layered pizza. - Yeah, that's what- - Then no crusts, which I fucking love. - That's why you like it. - That's why I fucking love it. This is like-

- Lasagna is basically like- - It's deep dish without the crust. - It's improved pizza. It's everything I look for. - I do wanna preface, I do love lasagna, but I do actually just think I prefer traditional pasta. - So what's your favorite? - I will get into that later. - Oh, okay, you have it on your list. All right, all right. - All right. - I mean, this one is kind of like- - Do we have to talk about chicken wings?

- This one is self-explanatory. - Everyone likes chicken wings. Bone in or bone out, everyone likes it. - How much do you like it though? - Chicken wings? - Yeah. - I mean, I will say this like,

- Okay, for me, chicken wings is one of those things I don't necessarily crave, but if it's on the table, I will devour it. - I'm gonna fucking be honest. I kind of died a little on the tour that we did because every fucking time we did not get chicken wings once and we got chicken tendies. Every fucking- - Oh, the US tour, right? - The US tour. - No, no, no, there were a few times we had the- - When?

On the bus, I remember. There were a few times where we ordered fucking bone in because you wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

- It's like, all right, we'll get the fucking bone in for Garnt 'cause he's bitching about this too much. - Yeah, I mean, I can understand this one. I think I was close to putting wings on mine. I like wings a lot. I like boneless chicken a lot and my allegiance is more closely aligned with boneless, but I do love wings. - Yeah, I mean, to me like- - And a beer, Garnt-tier combo. - Bone in wings, I was trying to think if I had like a singular flavor that I liked 'cause I remember I was like,

- My mom always cooked these like Thai chicken wings. And I think that's where my love of wings came from. Where I think I've just, like it got to the point where I think I ate wings at least once a week. - Damn. - For like my entire childhood. - Not a bad childhood at all. - Japan needs to absolutely stop. They need to stop putting hormones in the chickens. 'Cause this shit is so weak, bro. - It depends where you go though. - You get a quarter of a bite on a chicken. - Have you been to Yamachan chicken? - Yeah, but the tiny.

- Yeah, but- - You get like a lot. You do get a lot. - You get a shit load. - But it's like, you literally, you like, you're like, "Oh, I'm done." - Japan does need to level up their chicken game a little bit. - It's 'cause they don't put it on the lines. - But I think like America also like, their wings are two of these. - They are stuffing their wings way too much. - The reason that wings are my favorite part of the chicken out of everything is because to me, wings have like the perfect skin to meat ratio.

- A lot of the time. - I agree with that. - To me, the most important part of the wings to me is the flavoring of the skin. 'Cause that's where most of the flavoring comes from. And then the meat is kind of like the, let's say, yeah, the enhancer to that. But to me, the main star of the wings are the skin. And even on like fucking thighs, you have the skin which is there, but there's like so much meat. So you enjoy the skin and you're like, fuck.

"All right, I gotta finish this meat now." I gotta finish this meat. - When you order like 10 wings in Japan versus 10 wings in America, one will not fill me up at all and the other will make me obese. - Both. - I'll be so full. - Yeah, so like to me, wings has just been like a staple of my childhood and I'm discovering like to me, I think,

Korean wings are my favorite now. That's the phase I'm going through. - They're definitely up there for me. - I think Korean fried chicken is the best fried chicken in the world. - I agree.

- Just the way they fry it and the batter and just the flavors. - The deep fried chicken really got it. - The onion sauce, bro. - I like honey garlic soy sauce. - Oh, the honey garlic is good too. - Honey garlic is so good. - Honey garlic soy sauce. - All right, so specifically salmon. - Why? - I kind of had this realization. - The least Japanese sushi of all time.

- Okay, so I kind of had this realization where out of every Japanese dish that I thought I would eat, the only thing I consistently eat now as like a comfort food I'm constantly craving is sushi. I don't really go out to eat ramen. I fucking love so many Japanese dishes, but the only one I like, I view as a comfort food, probably sushi.

I don't really like high-end sushi places because they don't normally serve salmon. And I realized the reason I love going to conveyor belt sushi is because everything I order,

revolves around salmon nigiri. - Honestly, convey belt sushi gets too much of a bad rep. - I don't know why. - Convey belt sushi is bossing. It's fucking good. - I actually way prefer convey belt sushi than high-end sushi places. - I mean, high-end sushi places do just taste different. It's whether or not you prefer one over the other. I mean, I like...

Like if I went to a high end sushi place, I really like it. But if I go to like sushi or something, I'll fucking, I'll go down with the salmon and mozzarella fucking thing they do. I'm like, that's pretty fire. It's not sushi, but it's good. - Here's the question. How much wasabi did you put on it? - Zero.

- Oh, like a hundred. - I don't put any, I hate wasabi. - I think the reason I prefer conveyor belt sushi is because I can like just soak that shit in, I can just soak that soy sauce in wasabi and I'm just- - Just fucking. - Okay, first of all, are we talking about

- Wasabi, when you get it like the fresh stuff, 'cause it tastes totally different to like the horseradish wasabi. - You're not gonna get the fresh shit at sushi, right? - No, I know, so we're talking about the horseradish now. We're not talking about wasabi, we're talking about horseradish. Yeah, horseradish for me, it's like, I don't know if it's like a genetic thing or what, but to me it's like a gas attack on my life thing. It feels like it's just,

It's not, there's no flavor part of it that I enjoy. And I really want to like it 'cause like it goes well with sushi, right? It's what everyone tells you. But for me, it's just like, it's such a harsh, pungent like flavor that I can't do it.

- Dude, I put so much my shit turns green. - Fresh wasabi, it's like, it's much more mild. It tastes a lot different. - Oh yeah. - It's way nicer. - Real wasabi is not even the same ballpark. - That's not me trying to be bougie. They are actually just two different things. - No, totally. - One of them is not wasabi. - Yeah, I prefer the horseradish.

- Yeah, I mean, that's fair. That's crazy to me. - I like the horse rice, but I definitely prefer real wasabi. - It's like, you know, like every time I go to like a high end sushi place, they always have like the perfect kind of balance between fish, rice and just like the amount of wasabi and it's like nicely balanced. - Yeah, I love that. - But sometimes I just wanna gas myself. I don't know, sometimes I just like the feeling of just,

- I feel like a drug addict a little bit. Like every time I have like- - It all comes here. - I hate when people call it spicy. 'Cause I'm like, this is not spicy. - It's not spicy. - Yeah, it is not, it shares no similar feelings. - It's just, it's an impact. - Yeah, yeah. - To me, this is like the adult equivalent of like, you know, if you are a person that's, you know, you like putting a shit ton of wasabi

on your sushi and just being gassed. - That's crazy to me that you like salmon with a shit ton of horseradish. - Yeah. - I fucking love it. - It's kind of like- - Chutorou exists. - Yeah, chutorou with wasabi as well is great. - Chutorou is like, I can only have one.

- Yeah, what about like normal toro? - Huh? - Normal. - Like normal akami, like regular tuna? - Akami is, I don't know, salmon just has like that perfect balance to me. - I mean, it's not even my favorite. - Yeah, yeah. I know, like to me it's like the equivalent, you know, doing the wasabi thing. It's like the equivalent of like sniffing markers as a kid. You know?

- Except hopefully there aren't any like detrimental health results. - Yeah. One makes you dumb as shit.

- The other is wasabi. - The other one is socially acceptable. I think that's kind of why I like wasabi. - Okay, it's a little wild. - Maybe I'm a glue sniffer, I don't fucking know. - I certainly was. - But yeah, specifically like every sushi trip revolves around how much salmon sushi can I order that seems socially acceptable to balance out with the rest of the sushi. - That's fair, man. - I do think that, like I said,

Sushi-ro does this mozzarella salmon thing. It's actually fire. - Really? - You should try it. - I haven't been to sushi-ro in a while. - Apparently, it's like on Chris's video, apparently sushi-ro is saying it's like one of the most popular items in the menu. It's not sushi. It's salmon, rice, mozzarella, and then basil dressing. - Oh, that sounds good. - It's actually, it's so good. - God damn. That's like a carpaccio, dude. - Well, I can say it is essentially carpaccio with rice. It's good.

- All I can say is thank you Norwegians for introducing salmon to the Japanese. - Single handedly feeding the Japanese. - You've made the dish even better in my opinion, 'cause you don't normally get sushi salmon, sorry, salmon sushi in high-end sushi restaurants. - Our ribs or just American barbecue in general. - Mostly ribs. - Is this American barbecue or ribs? - Okay, okay. This is definitely gonna be a hot take. - You gotta pick one. - Okay, definitely ribs.

- I think brisket is overrated. - Yeah, brisket is overrated. I'm gonna say it too. - Explain to me what exactly is a brisket? - Fuck, that's a great question. - 'Cause I always get confused. What exactly is a brisket? What constitutes as a brisket?

- I actually don't. I couldn't tell you what a brisket is, but I know when I get it. - I think it's a part of like the cow. - We are uneducated. - Yeah, we are definitely uneducated, but- - 'Cause I don't think I had this growing up. - No, no, it's just like a- - If you've been to like an American restaurant, brisket is normally one of the- - Comes from the lower breast or pectoral muscles of the cow. - Yeah, so normally this is the one that smokes the most.

- Yeah, my issue and I've started having this now with, I love American barbecue, but the, I don't know if this is 'cause I'm getting older. The reliance on needing an ungodly amount of sauce is starting to turn me off 'cause brisket needs sauce. If you have it on its own, it is too much.

It needs to be mellowed out with a bunch of sauces. And in America, my God, they're way too sweet. They load it up with the sweetest goddamn barbecue sauce. - Yeah, if you go to like Kansas City. - Yeah, I know, I know. - That's why I love Texas barbecue is because it doesn't always rely on that sauce. There's like the dry rub as well, which plays into it. I will say Texas barbecue, I think is fucking goaded.

- Yeah, yeah. - It's got it, yeah. - Ribs is, yeah, but I also liked Kansas City barbecue more, which is sweeter traditionally, but I like the rib. Rib is my favorite part, I will say. - Ribs is my favorite part, but I think I just liked smoked meat. I don't know, something about that woody taste.

I think America loves to claim they do a lot of the things the best like fried chicken, like pizza, hot dogs. - They do barbecue the best. - But one thing I will defend them on is their barbecues are the best. Americans, you did barbecues right and I will down the hill. - You get a platter, you get like fucking mac and cheese, you get beans.

- Beans, beans, and then you get like two things. You get ribs. Burnt ends are okay. Depends how- - Oh, burnt ends are great. - Depends on how much sauce I can handle. - Yeah, out of everything, I think brisket is my least favorite just because it is a bit too much. I never have like eaten like, I remember the first time I actually felt like,

after eating a barbecue was when I was in Texas and I had the brisket. It was specifically the brisket 'cause it was like so fatty. - Yeah, when it's too fatty. - When it's like too fatty. And this is like, it's not the same kind of fatty as like Wagyu beef kind of fatty. It's like a different kind of fatty. This was like more than like 10 McDonald's hash browns put together kind of like oily fatty. - Yeah, some of them are a bit too oily. My statement earlier, I said like, I'm getting older now.

I still love it, but I find that I'm craving it less and less. - Right. - Yeah. - But I still like, if I'm in America, the one thing I always want is American barbecue. One of my favorite restaurants in Tokyo is an American barbecue place. - You always go there. - Yeah, because I always crave it, man. I'm like- - Is that the one in Harajuku? - Yeah, it's the one in Harajuku. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. The smoke house, right? - Oh, I fucking love that. - That place is goaded. - Yeah, I found an American barbecue place near my house and I go there.

- There's a lot of places to do it. - There's a lot of places now. - Actually, I need a beer to go with it. - That's what I love. - I need a beer. I have to have beer with it. - It's getting a nice beer with an American barbecue. Oh, I just taste- - I can understand this being on the list. - Getting hungry. - Yeah, yeah. - I don't wanna give you too much shit for this one. - Ribs are great, man. - My only complaint of ribs is you either always get too much or too little.

- In America, it's always too much. - In America, it's always too much. In Japan, you're like, "Really? $10 for one rib? "Are you fucking kidding me?" - Would you like a rack of two or a rack of twin? No in between. - Dude, I'm not kidding. A rack of ribs in Japan, like a full rack is like $60. It's insane. - Yeah, it's fucked. - For like a good American style done well. It's ridiculous. - I'm just wondering, does any other cuisine focus on smoked meat?

Like I'm trying to think of this- - No, there must be, but we're probably dumb enough. - I'm probably dumb and I've never tasted it before, but yeah, this just has such an advantage to me just because I don't know why, you know, specifically smoked meat. You know, I know other places do like smoked cheese and stuff like that, but I just- - I know there's gotta be other cuisines that does it. - There's gotta be other cuisines out there. - For sure, yeah. - But for what I know, like only,

I've only experienced Americans in terms of like really specializing and really honing in on how to like properly smoke me. And I fucking love it. Some of my favorite meals is when I go to Wisconsin is when you do kind of like, not even like a professional smoker, but just like a more kind of like- - I know a few professional smokers. - But just having that fresh woody taste, fucking love it. Smoked me all the way for me.

- Yeah, I can't disagree with that. It's great. - Yeah, and to end things off, obviously I was like, what food means the most to me? - Shin ramen. - I knew I had to pick an instant ramen because that is what fueled me through most of my life.

- Yeah, like, you know, I only just realized looking at this three by three now, this is like college student with a little bit of expendable income diet. You know? This is college student who can afford food diet. - This is the ramen used everywhere.

Every single country on earth has Shin Ramen, which is fine. But if you can get Indomie, it's way better. It's way tastier. The MSG is on God levels. Indomie is the best. - I prefer the Nakamoto cup ramen, but you get from 7-Eleven. Those are boss. - The problem with Japan is they don't use enough MSG.

They need more MSG. - You just need more MSG. - You need more MSG. For instant noodles, you need an ungodly amount of MSG. - Yeah, I know I'm betraying my own bloodline here by not putting mama noodles on here, which I was heavily considering. But then I just kind of realized that the problem with my own country's noodles is that the packaging,

the packet size is never enough. And I don't know if my fellow Thais can like agree with me. - Yeah, I agree with this. - But like, it's just. - Fellow Thai. - I agree with this Thai statement. Your noodle size is a joke. You gotta add 50% at least. - It's like one packet of mama noodles, unless you get the extra large packet, which isn't normally on sale outside of like Thailand, but like. - Busting out two. - Yeah, yeah, it's like two is too much.

but one packet is way too little. So you just end up wasting- - You crack that pigeon hole. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. To me, this is like the perfect amount of instant noodles that also taste fucking great as well.

I didn't have this when I was growing up, but when I discovered this, I never looked back. I have more Shin Ramen noodles in my house than I do Mama noodles in my house. - I mean, I used to not be able to eat this growing up 'cause it was too spicy, but now I fucking love it. - It's great. It's like the perfect amount of like spicy, which is not like, to me it's not like,

an ungodly amount of spice. I sometimes have to add like a little bit of spice to it. - Of course you do. - But to me, it's just, if I had this in college, this would be all I would be eating because- - Yeah, you'd also have a sodium overload as well. - Lots of other problems. - I would happily have a sodium overload. - All right, well, not a bad three bar. I'd say some hits, some misses. - I would say like going back to the lasagna thing,

like one thing i wanted to say was i never understood why spaghetti was always the most

like popular pasta dish worldwide. - Spaghetti is the worst pasta. - It's like, I think objectively spaghetti is just the worst pasta. And one thing that kills me in every like Italian restaurant I go to that it's always just different flavors of spaghetti dishes. - That's American though. That's a very American thing. - Is it American? - Yeah, in Italy it's,

- Spaghetti is there, but it's nowhere. - Yeah, spaghetti is very selective. - It's like, it's nowhere near as common as some other types. - I'm just wondering why did we choose, why did the world choose spaghetti as the dish? - It's the worst one. It doesn't absorb the pasta sauce that well. It's way too thick when you get like, you have to like fucking spit it up. There's way too much fucking like pasta ratio to sauce. It's never enough. Every other pasta form, like you think about like the, I don't even fucking know the names.

- Panet linguine. - Yeah, all of these ones, you can get a much better source to pasta ratio going on and it absorbs it better. Like it'll hold the source flavor. - I can't think of any like pasta dish that normally is like, you know, done with spaghetti that would not be improved with other pastas. - I wonder if it's like an easier to make thing. - Might just be easier to make, yeah. - Yeah, and cheaper to- - 'Cause all they have to do is pass it through the pasta machine. - But surely like any shape.

would be easier to make with the right- - I don't know how to make pasta dogs, I don't know what it is. - With the right pasta shape, you know? Surely anything. - Does it work like a cookie cutter system? - Or is this more convoluted? I don't know. - Like the standard like spaghetti with like, what is it, marinara? What do they have normally with it? Like the bolognese. - Bolognese, spaghetti bolognese. - It's so basic. To me, like an arrabbiata with like just the penne is so fucking good. - That's so much better. - Yeah, and it's like an easy one as well. Like, and it's more flavorful.

- Well, I think it's also just because bolognese is just a flavor that is also easy for children to eat as well. Like kids can't eat fucking arrabbiata, you know? And it's super easy to make as well. - Who says they can't eat arrabbiata? - We're not all born with Thai fucking taste buds, all right? - Are you joking?

- It's not even spicy. - I couldn't eat Arabiana. - What the fuck? - Are you fucking shitting me, Jay? - There's no goddamn spice in it. - Dude, when you were five years old, you can't eat a fucking Arabiana. - Yes, you can. Yes, you can. - I couldn't. - Kids gonna suck it up. - He'll suck it up eventually. - All right, well, that's fine. - All right, well, that was my three by three. - Let's go next one, shall we? - Who's next? Let's find out. - It's me. - All right. - Joey, come on, get it up, Joey. - Joey. - All right, get mine up. Prepare yourselves.

- What the fuck? - All right, here's mine. - What the fuck is this? Do you have spaghetti bolognese? - Yeah. - What the fuck? Fuck are you on about, bro? - Why do you think I was so quiet?

- Spaghetti bolognese is the worst pasta. - This almost felt foreshadowed with this fucking timing. - I have a good reason for putting spaghetti bolognese on my three by three. - Okay. - All right, but- - Nothing can be good enough, Joey. - But I have strawberry shortcake, skim in kangaroo sausages, specifically kangaroo, natto, watermelon, spaghetti bolognese, miso soup, sukiyaki and chicken paprikash.

Which one would you like to hear first? - Strawberry shortcake. - I've never seen you eat a strawberry shortcake. - You've never ever eaten a strawberry shortcake. - Oh dude, it's the only cake I can eat.

- Why strawberry? - 'Cause strawberry shortcake to me is the perfect level of sweetness. Because like every other type of cake I have is either not sweet enough or it's way too goddamn sweet. 'Cause I don't really eat a lot of sweet things to begin with. I don't eat desserts. But anytime there's a strawberry shortcake, it fucking slaps and I'll eat it every single time. But if there's like fruit cakes or like chocolate cakes or any other types of cakes, I'm very selective. It's like a mood type of thing. Strawberry shortcake, I can eat it anytime and I can just fucking.

- Do you crave this shit? Do you crave it, Joey? - Yeah. It's the only, if I see it in like a restaurant menu or like if I see like a cake place that has a strawberry shortcake, I'll buy it. It's the only cake I crave. Every other type of cake, I'm just like, eh, whatever. I'm not a cake person. - I don't think I've ever craved a cake if I think about it. - No, me neither. - Yeah, I'm trying to think if I've ever craved a cake. - It's hard for me to criticize this, I think. It's so basic. - It's so weird.

- Basic? - Basic? - You were saying, "What the fuck is that thing?" And you're saying it's basic? - No, it's just cake with a bit of strawberry in it. - Yeah, that's why I like it. - That's fine. - It's just sponge cake with, you know, I like strawberries, I like cream. - One thing I will say is that, is it specifically the Japanese strawberry? - Yes. - All right, because the thing about Japanese cakes that I can like, I kind of like. - It's much cream.

- It's very light fluffy flavor, I think. - Yeah. - That's what I like. - It's nice, but then they put like an ungodly amount of cream on it. - I love that. - I love that. - Yeah. - And I love the fact that it's not like the super, super sweet cream. - It's like you're eating air. - I hate that. Don't give me this joke of a food. Give me something real. Give me something tangible. - Like what? - Like more cake, less cream. - Like what? Give an example. What's a cake that's better than shortbread shortcake?

- Fuck, let's keep this. Well, first of all, if you're on top of it, we put tons of cream on it. I was just scraping off. - Do you know my problem with cakes? Do you know my problem with cakes in pretty much every heavy desserts? - What? - It's like, it's great, it tastes great.

but it takes up valuable stomach space of like what I could be eating in like a main course for like lunch. - That's what I'm thinking. - It's like, there is never a point that like I've eaten fucking great cakes before, but it's always hampered my enjoyment of the following lunch or dinner. And I fucking hate that. - Well, that's why I think when it comes to strawberry shortcakes, I'd rather just eat it as kind of like a snack type of thing or like kind of a dessert, but like way after the main meal.

- Okay. - You know, like strawberry shortcake to me is kind of those things where like you go out to dinner, right? At some restaurant and then on the way home, you see like a strawberry shortcake slice being sold and you take that home and then you eat it at home type thing. That's what I like about it. - Who the fuck started birthday cakes? I just hate them.

- Birthday cakes? - Yeah, 'cause it's like every fucking birthday there's gotta be a cake. And I'm like, man, this is like, I don't like cakes much. - Do you know the worst part about cakes? - Can we do a birthday tiramisu? You know, can we just do that? - Like, okay, do you know the worst part about cakes? Especially if you buy a whole one, aside from like everything. - Fondant. - It's like, this is why I don't raise, don't raise cakes, right? You go to a birthday party or a wedding or something, right? They bring out the cakes, right? And there's always this moment of,

how many people want to eat the cake? I'm guaranteed half of the room are- - I don't want to eat the cake. - Are just like eating it out of obligation. Not because they actually want the cake or like craving the cake, but they always just like have a few bites out of like obligation. And then there's always fucking leftovers.

- And then they're like, you have to eat it. I'm like, okay, fine. And you cut it in a small slice and they cut it in a slice. I'm like, whoa, what the fuck is this? - It's like fucking like that. - You trying to do a trigonometry example here? What the fuck is this? - See, and I think that's why Japan has kind of nailed it in that aspect of the fact that they, yeah, obviously they sell whole cakes as well, but a lot of cake places in Japan, they sell it as like single, actual like edible sized slices.

The ones that you can just like kind of pick up and eat. - Oh, my favorite cake, pound cake or banana bread. - But to me, that like- - Pound cake's good. - Pound cake's good. - So to me that like defeats the point of the cake 'cause the cake is like symbolic of like some kind of like celebration, you know? - Is it? - Yeah, for me, I really don't, I'll never eat cake outside of a celebration. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like to me, like the cake is symbolic and with Japan selling it in like small slices, I'm like, you have removed the one thing that I,

will agree with about cakes, which is like the symbolic meaning of cakes. - Yeah, but Japan also made Colonel Sanders, Santa. So you can't believe anything they're doing. They're just fucking around. - Like to me, there is nothing more- - With like basic tradition. - There's nothing more depressing than like seeing like, you know, the candles on like a single slice of cake. You know what I mean? - Who's doing that?

- You see it sometimes, especially like Japan is the one place where you can actually do that because they buy it with slices. - It's awkward when people bring me a cake for my birthday and I'm like, I'm not eating that. I had to break it to you. I just don't like cake that much. - For your birthday next year, I'm bringing you a tiramisu. - Yeah, did you bring me a tiramisu? - Yeah, tiramisu with a candle. - Yeah, let's do that. That's way better. That's like a superior cake.

- All right, can we just skip to the spag, the spag bol. - Spag bol, okay. - Joey, Joey. - Joey, why would you pick the objectively worse pasta? - I put spag bol on here because this is a dish that my grandma used to make me when I was little and I have very, very good fond memories of making this with my grandma. - Yeah, but you still- - Sorry to bring a sob story into it. - Would you still order this at a restaurant, Joey? - Sometimes. - Yeah, this is like- - Actually, I got a spag bol two days ago.

- This is the reason why Hershey's popular, 'cause it was fucking in the tunches, they used to eat it. Listen, you're being clouded now. - Am I saying this is the best pasta dish? No, but I have the most fondest memories of eating this as a child. - Fuck your memories, I don't wanna hear about your memories. Tell me what you think's good. - Huh? - I don't care a shit about your memories, tell me what you think is the best.

The best I think is the chicken Genovese pesto. - That's good, that's good. - That is good. - With penne, that is easily the best pasta. But that's also fucking boring, isn't it? - No, it's not boring. - Yes, it is. - No, it's not boring. - You know what's boring?

- Spaghetti bolognese, that's- - Yeah, fucking boring. - You know what's not boring? My great memories were of spaghetti bolognese. - You know what's boring? You know what's boring? Your grandma. - Wow. It was her birthday yesterday. - Did she have bolognese? No. - No. - Because she wanted a good meal. - And I bet you got her a cake as well, Joey. - Nope.

- She said she was gonna make spag bol when I got home and I was very excited. - I would stay back in Japan if I heard that. I don't wanna go, give me a real meal. - Do you guys see this? - You know Joey? - Berating my 94 year old grandma like this. - You know Joey, if I can grow up from McDonald's, you can grow up from spag bol, okay? - Yeah, you can grow up. - Never. - Grow up, Grandma Joey. - Never. How dare you? - What are you doing? Wake up. - Wake up, sheeple. - We deserve better.

- All right. - You should have said, you know, you can still cook bolognese, just use a different pasta. That doesn't detract from- - Yeah, you can do better. - Does bolognese work with other pastas? - Yeah, of course it does. - It definitely does. - You think? - Yeah. - With penne. It's better with penne.

- Oh, what's the butterfly ones? - The butterfly ones. - Oh, little bow ties? - Yeah, the bow tie ones. Those are pretty good. I've had those as well with bolognese. - Even with, fuck, it's like the most common one, but the fuck, it's like spaghetti if it was flattened. - Oh, I like, is it fettuccine? - No. - Linguini? - Is it linguini? - No, linguini's the- - Terrible, sorry Italians. I'm so sorry Italians. - Linguini's like spaghetti with a little bit more bite, I think. - Farfalle. - No, no, no, no. - That's the bow tie one. - Yeah, what's the- - Cordon.

- No. - What's the long thin pasta? - Okay, hold on, we gotta hear. - Rigatoni? - Fettuccine, is it fettuccine? - Yeah, fettuccine. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the flat one. - Fettuccine is like better spaghetti. It's like, this is like way better than spaghetti. - It is because we've like- - It absorbs and holds the flavor. - There's more surface area. - Yeah, it can hold the flavor more. - Yeah, yeah. - True. - Flat earthers are right when it comes to like pasta. - Flavor holding, yeah, 100%. - Because like there is like,

- The flatness just holds the flavor way better. - That's right, fettuccine Alfredo. That's right, that makes sense now. Fettuccine Alfredo, right, okay, sorry. - I just like the bolognese sauce, I think. - I like paparadelle. - Paparadelle. - I love paparadelle pasta too. - All right.

- What next? - Tsukkoman understandable. - Tsukkoman understandable. We don't have to talk about this. - We've talked about Tsukkoman enough. - I changed your guys' mind by taking you to the Tsukkoman place. It's fine. - Gentleman handshake agreement. - Gentleman's handshake agreement, Tsukkoman goaded. - You take our producer to Tsukkoman as well? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I took my producer and his girlfriend to the Tsukkoman place. And he came back to me and he's like, "I had dreams about that."

- I'm like, yes. - All right, cool, cool. - All right, kangaroo sausage. This is another one that I think is the best type of sausage you could have. Australians will agree with me on this. You can buy this at a supermarket. Kanga bangers as we call them. - I would like to. - They're great. Next time you guys are in Australia, you should try some kangaroo sausage. - I wanna try these so I can,

- I think you'll like them. I think you'll like them a lot. - I think I'll probably like them. I mean, they look great. Is that how a kangaroo sausage looks? - Yeah, I guess. - It has the correct girth of a sausage that I enjoy. - Yeah, no, it's a proper good size. - It looks like a sausage, you know? - It certainly looks like a sausage. - Now Garnt, come on now. You're being pedantic now.

- There is a look of a sausage and that looks like it'll taste good. That looks like it has a fantastic snap, which is an important part of any sausage. - They do. - And also looks like it has the right amount of girthness going on so you can cut it up and it gets nice and nice. - Juiciness as well is on point. - Really? I like the thin sausages. - Well, you're a fool to go on, so I don't know how to tell you that. The thicker sausages are better. - Oh, I don't know. - The ones where you have to cut with a fucking knife and fork.

- Not the ones where you can just fucking shove it in. - Generally, thinner sausages line up more to like the processed kind of- - Hot dogs. - Yeah, hot dog style sausage. - No, no, you can definitely get like, obviously thick sausages are more readily available when it comes to proper sausages. I just, it's okay. It's kind of like- - Too much meat, Garnt? Can't handle the meat? Is that what you're saying? - I think it just goes back to like the wrapping, the skin. You know, it's just like-

- That's the best part of the sausage. - That's the best part of the sausage. - Sorry? - The skin is the best part. - When the skin snaps when you bite into it, that's the best part. - Yeah, I'm saying you get more of that with like the thin sausages because there's less meat in there. - Do you?

- No, no you don't. - Unless you cook the shit out of this thing, until it's like crispy on the outside. - I don't know, whenever I've gone to the supermarket and I see like the million different flavors of like the thick sausages and sometimes I just see the thin sausage and I'm like, I wish there was more flavors for the thin sausages. - No, 'cause in the thicker ones, right? It needs more pressure, more power to contain all that meat.

So it has a greater snap when it's broken. - And then the juice spurts out and you get that burst of flavor. - I'm very passionate about sausages. - He's a JoJo. - Why kangaroos though? - Yeah, kangaroos, I just, I don't buy it. - The thing I like about kangaroo meat in general

that I think I just prefer it over beef. - I wanna try it. - Is that I think it's like- - Wait, wait, wait. Pork sausages are the gold standard, by the way. - Yeah, pork is by far the best, but I really, I put kangaroo sausages almost on the same level as pork sausages. - Okay, that's fair enough. - I think they have all of the same qualities of a pork sausage, but is a little bit more tender than a beef sausage, if that makes sense. - Beef sausages are awful though.

- Yeah, beef sausage is on that grill. I feel like the pork- - I've had some okay beef sausages. Pork, yeah, pork is by far the best, but I think kangaroo is a very, very close second, if not tied first with the pork sausage. - Yeah, okay. - So, yeah, when we're in Australia, we'll get you some. - All right. - What the fuck, natto? Come on. - Natto is, I mean, it is the super food that I could eat every fucking day. - Joe, you can't honestly look at me. - No, no. - Okay, I'll accept natto, but like, you can't look at me and tell me that natto

- Top nine foods of all time. - Better than American barbecue, better than pizza, better than- - Ain't no way. - I've had- - Better than Indian food. - Ain't no way. - Better than Italian food. - We're talking about breakfast foods? That's the king of breakfast foods right there.

- Bro, you're delusional. - Natto on a bed of rice. Also, natto can be used in all sorts of different, dude, natto and curry is bossin'. - Okay, okay. - You're delusional. - Amazing. Natto in a sushi form, amazing. - Explain to me this, okay? Explain to me this, all right? I've had natto, we've all had natto. - Sure. - I'm fine with the flavor of natto and everything. - No, I mean, he's not, but. - Yeah, he's not. - I'm not a fan. - All right, all right. But food, texture's important, right?

- Bad texture. - Texture is important, right? - Texture is so important. - Sell me on a food that has the same texture profile as phlegm.

Just like, just like, just explain how you mentally get- - Not only does it have the texture of phlegm, it also looks like phlegm. Look at that picture. - I'm gonna say it. I don't give a fuck about the texture of food. - That's crazy to me. - I literally do not care about the texture of the food. - You're just backing me up on the snap. - I'll eat baby food if I have to. I don't give a fuck. As long as it tastes good, I don't care.

- Texture is so important. - Also to me, here's the other thing as well. Also to me, it's kind of, we're not even standing at the same starting line because this is a texture to me that's not weird because I've had it all my goddamn life, right? So obviously you guys are gonna think texture is important because there are some textures out there in food cuisines which are just out of the norm for you guys. To me, natto is a very normal texture to me.

- But you're also arguing that texture isn't important. - No, it's not something I'm gonna be like, "Ugh, this is disgusting." I've literally had all sorts of different, sticky, slimy, whatever shit growing up that to me, that texture is normal. - That's just massively important. - That's very important to me. - Texture sometimes you get,

- I can't believe there's no- - That's just the weak mindset, if you ask me. - I can't believe that this is top nine. - Sometimes it is as important as the taste. I was like trying to like- - Weak mindset. - Okay, okay. Have you ever had, for example, soggy fried chicken? You know, fried chicken that's been out too long and it just doesn't have that same like crispiness to it. - Yeah, I need that.

but you heat up in the microwave, fucking tastes awful. - I'll still eat it. - It just like, it's just. - Well, I've been a broke college student before. I'm not gonna pick and choose this shit even as an adult. - I get that, but I would never have fried chicken. - I'll never have it over the fucking fresh shit, obviously. - Yeah, but what I'm saying is, is that like this whole idea of the,

the sticky, phlegmy texture being like, you know, the end all be all of everything in terms of food, I think is just a weak mindset. - Okay, I just have a weak mindset. It's enough to discourage me. Fair enough. Watermelon.

- Best fruit, arguably. - Well, I hate disagreeing with everything, but yeah, I disagree. - It's the best fruit because you get the most out of your bang for buck. Like you get a giant fucking watermelon, you get so much out of that. It is watery, so you can hydrate yourself at the same time. - Melon is just better in every way. - Melon sometimes is just too much flavor.

- Melons, also melon can get, sometimes melon can get a bit soggy. - And watermelon can't. Watermelon is like, it is, I think, what is the makeup of watermelon? It's like 99 point like something fucking water. - Yeah. - That's what's so good. - It's basically like, it's like when you, you know when you have like the drinks where you like concentrate and you add water, it's like that if you like someone spat some of the concentrate into a glass and then you put two liters of water and you're like, I have it.

- Dude, the fresh watermelon juice. - 92% water. - 92%. The fresh watermelon juice I had in Thailand, like confirmed to me that watermelon is the best. - I would say the watermelon is definitely top tier. It's a top tier fruit. - I disagree. - 100%. In the summer as well, like ice cold watermelon. - It's better than banana. It's way better than banana. - It is way better than banana. - Are you kidding me? Not even in the same league. - What the fuck are we talking about here? Let's be reasonable adults here, come on.

- Banana overrated. - Are you kidding me? - I'm not kidding you. - Like banana, it's like, I don't dislike banana. Like, you know, I don't have like a heavy dislike for banana. It's good. I enjoy it. It's- - I'll eat it.

- What the fuck are you guys talking about? - I'll eat it, but it's not my first nor fifth choice. - You guys are delusional. - Bananas is kind of like the My Hero Academia fruit. - I won't stand, no, I won't stand for that comment. You need to take that comment back. - Oh, fuck off. - The My Hero Academia fruit. - Watermelon is like the monster of fruit. - You are insulting my entire being right now. You cannot say that. - It's just like safe. It has its like good points, okay?

- Everybody likes it. It's good for any occasion, but is it the best out there? No. - Watermelon certainly is not. A banana leaps and bounds ahead of the watermelon. It actually has flavor. It doesn't crumble into water in your mouth after one bite. - That's what I love about it. - Why are you gonna have fucking seeds in there, bro? What an annoyance. - What are- - I don't like fucking seeds. - Just get the seedless ones.

- Yeah, watermelons more like, you know, "Attack on Titan." - Yeah. - It's like- - Yeah, fucking bloated and goes on for too long. - You know, compared to like some, you know, it's still very, very popular, but you don't see it around as often as like, you know, the mainstream kind of fruits like fucking bananas, apples. - Watermelon be laying low in the winter, but when the summer hit- - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Oh my God, it is the star of the show. - Yeah, the beta seasonal fruit versus the Chad all rounder. Perfect portion ready for any occasion. Always the right amount of food. More nutritional value. It's better in every single way.

- The thing with watermelon is- - Looks like a cock. - It's not just the fruit, but you know if you have like- - Messy. - You know if you have like a watermelon like sweet? - Yeah. - You know it's gonna fucking- - Watermelon flavored things trumps banana flavored things any day of the week. - Any day of the week. - Any day of the fucking week. - Go back to your natto strawberry shortcake bollocks. Fuck off. - Delicious. - I don't understand for this.

- The only thing that keeps watermelon from being like the perfect fruit is the seeds. That's like the only thing. - And the lack of flavor. - Okay, there's two things. It's just like, there are different like tiers. It's like you have like the sweet center, which is like fucking God-like. And then you get close to like the crust and it starts to become

- A little more like flavorless as you get closer to the edge. You just have to like take that out. - Only in the watermelon context that I will be a crossless gang with Garnt. Whenever I have watermelon, whenever I buy like a big watermelon during the summer, I don't even do like the fucking triangular shit like that. Like I cut it up into blocks so that I can just get rid of all the cross immediately and I'm just left with the good shit.

- Yeah, not every bite of watermelon is the same when it comes to like, especially when you get close to the edge, it gets a little tougher, a little less. - You put that shit in the freezer, let it sit for a little bit on a really hot summer day and you crack that bitch open. God damn. - But what can I say? Watermelon still a top tier fruit. - Top tier fruit, best fruit in my opinion. - I would agree with you, Joey.

- Banana, not good. - All right, miso soup. Very safe, very safe option. - Yeah, this is comfort food for me. I mean, growing up in a Japanese household, this is like a type of thing which is super easy to make, very versatile. You can put anything inside miso soup and most of the time it works very, very well. This one has leek and tofu in it, but you can put carrots, daikon, onion,

Seaweed, anything goes. There's a ton of different things you can put in it. - White or red miso?

- See, when I was growing up in Sendai, we had white miso. But I do like red miso as well. - I like red miso more. - Red miso is good. - It's got more intensity, more flavor. - Yeah, I agree with that. - But it's a good comfort food. I'll let you have that one. - Yeah, and also great for hangovers. Best thing to have for hangovers. - Just great in general. - Just great in general. You want a warm up. If you're sick, you're hung over, you just want something to fill yourself up for a little bit, miso soup's good to go. - I just can't think of a...

where I wouldn't think it's acceptable. - Yeah. - I honestly think miso soup has that power where it just like transcends cuisines. I would love to have miso soup in like,

- Any kind of cuisine. - Yeah. - I'm trying to think of- - It works any time of the day. - I'm trying to think of a starter, like a cuisine where it wouldn't work as a starter. - Yeah, that's what's supposed to be. - Yeah, yeah. - Kind of works with everything. - You have sukiyaki, is it? - Sukiyaki, yeah. - Yeah, sukiyaki's great. - So that's my favorite hot pot. Again, memories of me and the family eating it once a year. - It is the best hot pot of all the Japanese hot pots. - It is the best hot pot. - Give me Chinese hot pot. Chinese hot pot to me is superior.

- I was this close to putting Chinese hot pot on my three by three actually. - I like Chinese hot pot. - I like sukiyaki more. - I like sukiyaki more I think. Yeah, there's a different level of- - Sukiyaki is too clean. - There's a different level of comfort and balance. - More balanced. - Nah, Chinese hot pot has all of those fucking herbs and the flavor and it's just so strong and the fucking meat just soaks up. Like the sukiyaki soup is just,

it's not flavorful enough, you know? 'Cause one part I love about like the hot pot is just putting a bunch of shit in it and having whatever ingredients you put in it just soak up that flavor. And to me, Chinese hot pots, because the soup is way like to me, like thicker and more flavorful, it just, you can taste it so much more in the ingredients you put in.

And sukiyaki, yeah, it's a little bit cleaner. Definitely you come out of it not hating your body, which is, I guess like the big thing. But to me, given the choice, okay, do I want to be health conscious or do I wanna eat something that fucking slaps and destroys my body? - I don't think sukiyaki's healthy at all. - Is it not healthy at all? - No. - I mean, it's a lot of soy sauce. - Loads of soy sauce. - So it's very, very salty.

- More healthier in comparison. - Yeah, the ingredients you throw in are definitely more healthier than otherwise, but I wouldn't necessarily say Skechers is healthy. - The Chinese hot pot has like way more oils in it. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - So yeah. - Yeah, I mean like this is one thing where like I'll always have a craving for it. Like this is one of those things where like, I love it, it's one of my favorite Japanese foods, but it's one of those Japanese foods where like I only wanna eat it

maybe like two or three times a year and nothing more. 'Cause like, if I haven't more often than that, I feel the magic of it is gonna disappear. And I'm very happy with it being like a thing where it's just happens, you know, once every happenstance and when that happenstance happens, you're just like, hell yeah, I fucking deserve this, this is goaded.

- Especially this time of year, it's yucky goaded. The last one is chicken paprikash. So this is my favorite Hungarian food. - Looks fine. - That again, my favorite thing that my grandma used to make. It's basically chicken thigh and chicken wing in a paprika sauce with this thing called gnocchi, which is kind of like, I don't know how to explain gnocchi. It's kind of like halfway between pasta,

- It's the only way to describe it. - Honestly, it looks fucking incredible. - It is so good. - It looks fine. - It is really, really, really good. And I really wanna learn how to make this. But yeah, this is another one where like, if I would go to, every time I go to my grandma's place, she'd either make me spaghetti bolognese or chicken paprikash.

And those are the only two things I ever asked. - Half the time she's fucking doing your dirty. Come on. - Hey man, chicken paprikash takes a long time. - There's no shot I'm taking the spaghetti over there. Are you kidding me? What the fuck? - Yeah, like I was craving this so much during the pandemic, obviously, 'cause I couldn't go see my grandma, that I was looking up like Hungarian restaurants in Tokyo. I found one, one Hungarian restaurant in Tokyo and they had chicken paprikash

It was good, but I was like, damn, like grandma magic is a real thing. - Yeah. - And it's just not the same. I don't know what the difference was, but it just didn't taste the same. - Have you ever tried learning the dish? - My sister's learned how to make it and she's gotten better at it. This is like one thing, I mean, I don't really care about cooking. - She doesn't have the grandma buff. She just doesn't have the grandma buff. - Okay, so like my grandma actually wrote the recipe for this, but the way she wrote it was the most,

- Old Eastern European woman way of writing a recipe. - Look to the east and grab the spice you seek. - No, no, she said like, get the paprika, add a good amount. And I'm like, what's a good amount? - No, let's say you know it's fire. - It's just like, you know it's the good amount. - That's the thing about ingredients like recipes like this. 'Cause I've had similar instances with my mom.

where I've craved some of her cooking and she's tried to like walk me through step by step. - Yeah. - Somehow I fuck it up somewhere. - Yeah. - Like, I don't know how this is possible 'cause I've literally had her on a Zoom call and like, "Mama, how'd you make your curry?" And she's like, "All right, let me walk you through step by step."

- Yeah. - And doesn't it like somehow where she's like, I don't even know if she knows how much she puts in. She just like, it's like ultra instincts. You know, it's just like, she knows the right amount of ingredients. And when I start measuring shit, that's how I know it's not gonna be as good. - Yeah, yeah, totally. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Okay. Yeah. So that's my three by three. - Some I agree with, some I don't agree with. - Fair enough. I feel that's gonna be the case with all of our three. - Middle row, I don't agree with.

- No, fuck you, watermelon's the best dog. - Watermelon's the best. - I don't know about that. - All right, let's see Connor's. - I need a real list. - Don't show yet, don't show yet. - Don't show yet, don't show yet. - So you've played your games boys, you've had your cute little list. Time to show you what a real- - You've talked your talk, let's see what you got. - A real three by three looks like. - Let's see this. - Let me show you this. We got some bangers, there we go. That's a list. What a fucking list.

- All right, all right, all right. - All right, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Just to confirm. - Tell me you're British without telling me you're British. - Just to confirm, this is a list of foods, right? - Yeah. - What is beer doing there? - Beer is a food. - We're not in fucking Germany, Connor. - No, beer is food. - It is not a food. - It's food. I drink beer as a food substitute. - It's liquid bread. - Yeah, it's food.

- How is it not food? - Sorry? - I mean, look. - It's like 300 calories, carbs, a drink. It's carbonated, it's nice food. - You drink it.

- Yeah, but you could drink some, you drink miso. Is that it? - Okay, hold on. That's the least of my worries. There's other things to point out here. - Okay, first of all, you've done me dirty with this beans and toast picture. You fucking, I didn't get these pictures. - That is the worst picture of beans on toast I've ever seen. - I gave my list to the producers and they gave me the sloppiest, saddest looking beans on toast I've ever seen in my life.

- Okay, so we got McCoy's chips. - Listen, all right. - Crisps actually, no chips. They're fucking chips. - What are you fucking talking about? - They're chips. - Get back in line. - I don't believe this crisp bullshit. - Look at your flag and remind yourself who you are, all right? You belong to us, okay? So those are crisps. These are specifically McCoy's crisps. These are bangers. - They are bangers. - There's not a single occasion where they've offered to me, I will say no to these. They're just so goddamn.

The thing about McCoy's that other Christians take a lesson from is that not only is the texture God-like, the crunch is immaculate, but they are- - I'm just looking at this and I'm just like, this is so British. - Yeah, tell me you're British without telling me you're British. - It is absolutely packed with flavor. Each bite of McCoy's over flavored, honestly, quite frankly. - There's so much green and brown in this. - I love my green, I love my brown.

And I thought about, honestly- - What's your favorite McCoy's flavor? - Oh, it's so tough, but I think the cheddar onion is the fucking god. - Flamingo steak for me. - Flamingo steak's pretty good too. - I love the flamingo steak. - And also the salt and vinegar. Listen, 'cause sometimes a British tradition, 'cause in America, you get a bag of crisps, right? They're too big. They are commitments. In the UK, we've perfected the size of the crisp bag.

'Cause you can have one, you can feel like I'm good. But you can also be like, I'm gonna have three bags. Is it healthy? No. But I would regularly just eat all three flavors in one go. - Well, the good thing about McCoy's is that I believe it's all crinkle cut, right? - All crinkle cut, baby. - Which is the superior crisp. - That is the superior. - Oh my God. - It is the superior crisp. And it's a bit thicker than like Walker's Max. - Yeah, if you go to the UK, please try McCoy's. They are fucking packed. - I was converted.

- I love McCoy's as well. McCoy's are great. Totally agree with that. - Honestly, the McCoy's could be a part of the meal deal at the bottom. 'Cause it's kind of, they go hand in hand. 'Cause I really wanted to put Indian food on here, but I didn't know which Indian food specifically. - I was debating to put Indian curry. - But I don't have a favorite. If you put a gun in my head, it'd be mutton curry, but mutton curry is so,

it could be whatever spices you put in it. - Yeah, for me it's tied between mutton and keema. - And I feel like I can't just put a cuisine on there 'cause that's not fair. 'Cause that's like saying, like you didn't put, you wanted to put barbecue but you pick ribs, right? I can't do that with Indian food. I love Indian food so much I couldn't pick one.

- McCoy's man, I mean, sometimes you, we're sleeping on snacks in our three by threes is what I'm realizing. None of you guys put snacks down. - I actually had a snack on there and I took it off. - What did you have on there? - You guys would, the reason I took it off is 'cause I don't think anyone would have heard of it. There's this like Thai fish snack called Taro. - You told me about this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like,

- Available in Japan as well. She's called something different, but it's like also like a little bit spicy as well. - I would have put Red Rock Deli chips

which I still think are the best potato chips out there. Only in Australia though. - I put Easter eggs. - Give me them when I'm there now. - That's a snack to me. - Easter eggs. - I think it's too easy to look at meals and think main meal of dinner, right? You put some breakfast ones and you put some dessert there. I wanted to make sure I was getting a variation of snacks in there too. - That's fine. - That's why I put- - You went so far that you put an alcoholic beverage as well. - Yeah. - Beer is food. You can't change my mind.

None of this, I think- - Is it the best alcohol? - Yes, 100%. - 100%? - 100% for me beer is the best alcohol. - I used to think that, but I don't think I think that anymore. I think- - I roll my eyes when I go to places in America and they're like, "We have like Skull Fuck IPA." They'll call it that. They'll call it like bum scratch IPA. You're like, "What the fuck is this shit?" It's like an 8%.

You're like, what the fuck is this? Just give me a, give me something good. Give me like a- - It's this close to being the perfect alcohol if it didn't have the fucking calorie content. - Yeah, which I, you know- - Great labels, bro. - As I mentioned, I do enjoy alcohol-free beer. The one in Japan, they do no calorie, no carbs, alcohol-free beer, and it tastes, it scratches that itch of beer. It's fantastic. - But it's not food.

- Normal beer is food. - Yeah, liquid bread. - Beer is food. - You can't have that as a meal. You can't have that as a meal. - You most certainly can. - Okay, gone. - I've had a few nights where I've only had a beer and I went home full. - Yeah, I've had nights. - That was a mistake. - It was a mistake, but I still went home full. - I've had evenings where I've just been like, I have the beer and I'm kind of bloated and I'm like, I'm kind of good. Yeah, I'll just keep drinking beer.

- Should I? - No, but I do. Not often do I do that. - Game's a game. - Beer is food. You can't change your mind. - I was about to make an argument and then I realized it was gonna be a really hot take. - Go on, sir. Coward, you won't. - Okay, okay. I can't have just soup as a meal either. If you just give me liquid as a meal, that's like not a meal to me. - Beer is better than soup. - I would agree with you except I could easily just have miso soup.

- Not as a meal. No, you can't have miso soup, just be like, okay, I am done. - Alcohol is considered a food item because it supplies your bodies with calories.

- So are crayons. - No, they don't have that much. They don't have enough. - They are calories. - No, you can have like a thousand calories of beer easily. - So any drink with calories counts as food? - No, it's not. It's not. - So water is not food. - It's got like carbs in it as well. - Don't give me this shit. This is like the same shit where like, it's hot yogurt sandwich, well technically it's like two piece. It's like, no, just don't fucking. - Just curry a drink.

- The important thing is, if I order a fucking meal and all you give me is fucking beer, I'm gonna be like, "Yo, where the food? Where the food at?" - I'll get some little snackies with it, but the beer is the main food. - Yeah, usually the McCoys pairs with it. - Yeah, the McCoys with the beer. They go hand in hand often. So yeah, beer, I recognize as food and I love beer a lot. And then in the middle, which is not a great photo, I really don't.

- Not the middle, sorry, the top middle. It's not a great, do you even know what that is? - Oh, shogayaki? - It's shogayaki, but it looks kind of bad in this bag. - No, I recognize the shogayaki. - Yeah, yeah, that's like the Denny's shogayaki. - Yeah, Denny's shogayaki. - That is not a flattering looking, that is a very mid-looking shogayaki. - No, that is what the average shogayaki looks like. - Yeah, that is what it looks like. - What is the tomatoes on the side? You don't normally get tomatoes on the side. - So, do you want to defend this because I,

- I like it, but- - I like it, but it's not my favorite. - When I think of shogayaki, that is what I think of, which is like, hey, it's okay. - I think of like the fucking Nako 400 yen shogayaki. - No, there's some places that do it so fucking good. Shogayaki is just kind of like- - Ginger pork. - Ginger pork. It's like grilled ginger pork.

And it's just great if you have like good quality pork and you have some really thick sauce. - Lots of flavor. - My problem with shogayaki is kind of what this picture is. It's like a lot of the times it just looks depressing. - I don't want this green shit. - Look at that picture. The only thing that out depresses that picture is the beans on toast. - One of my favorite shogayakis was the one that,

before they changed the recipe fuckers. They made their pork worse for some reason and used to be great. So like the type of like Matsuya Shogayaki- - Probably because people weren't fucking going to Matsuya to get Shogayaki. They were going there to get Gyo. - They were, they were being cucked and they changed the menu. It's this amazing like comfort traditional Japanese food. You've got to try it. It's fucking God tier. Look at that pig. - I mean, yeah, like for me- - Not that one. That's not Shogayaki.

- Matsuya shogayaki, which one is it? - Probably the left one, right? - The very right one looks more similar to it. - I mean, look- - Or the left one, yeah. - Shogayaki for sure is great. It's amazing comfort food for me as well. - God, it looks so bad, but it tastes so good. - It does taste amazing. - Out of the incredibly visually appealing Japanese foods that exist out there, this one is definitely not up there. - I'm just wondering how they fucked up in presenting. Like Japanese are...

- You can't make that look good. - Listen, the thing is like gyoza, I love it. Ramen, I love it. But when I think about like something that makes you feel good inside, shogayaki just does something to me. - I was very close to putting gyoza on my three by three. - I had gyoza and I took it off as well. I just think of all the Japanese foods that really gives me a sense of comfort and this is one of them. It's just such a good whole meal.

- It's a really good eating experience. And if you come to Japan, I really recommend trying it. It's not thought about as one of the great Japanese foods. - No, it's good though. - It never gets a love, but it's fantastic. - Do you know one Japanese side dish that I fucking hate that you can see on that shogayaki dish? - The cabbage? - It's the fucking really thinly sliced cabbage. It's like...

- I hate it. - Yeah, it is often. - It kind of makes me feel like a horse eating hay. - It has negative flavor. It is always the worst. - I'm chewing that motherfucker forever. - Every time I see this on a plate,

I'm like, you had empty space in the plate and you did not know how to fill up that space. - Unless there is like a banger dressing when you go to like some katsu places. - But I hate it, they call it salad as well. It's not a salad. - It is not a salad. - Salad requires multiple elements involved. You know what I mean?

- Yeah, but the only time I actually liked that is when you have cats on 'cause you need something to chill out the fucking oil. - For sure. - And it kind of works, but yeah, I mean, it's one that I would recommend. Is it the best food ever? No, but it's definitely a huge comfort food. - Oh yeah, for sure, it's up there. - Let's talk about something that is the best food ever right now. - Danish hot dogs?

- Hot dogs in general. - Well, that's a Danish hot dog. - That is a Danish hot dog, which is a God tier hot dog. - Which is the best. - The best hot dog. - The only hot dogs. - I love all dogs, right? I love all types of dogs. You know, you can get like German style, right? You can get more British style hot dogs, which is typically just really thick sausages that are smaller. - I don't really count British like- - Sausages. - They're in like the hot, they're in a bun. It's a sausage in a bun. It has sauce on it. It's a hot dog.

Whether you like it or not, that is true. The traditional hot dog that we all familiar as the American one, they have cockroaches in them probably, has who knows what else, rat feces, probably something else. But man, does it taste good. I fucking love it. Even like going to like a ball game, which I don't do. - Why? Why do you like it? - I just fucking love it, dude. - You know what, I'm gonna say it. I genuinely do not like those kinds of hot dogs. - I love those shit dogs. - I just think hot dogs, aside from like- - Chili dogs, fuck chili.

- Aside from like the Danish hot dogs, I just think they're fucking overrated. - Yeah. - Okay, chili dogs, I fuck with. - Oh, chili dogs. - Chili dogs are fucking. - Chili dogs are great, but regular hot dogs are boring. - Chili dogs are great, not because of the hot dog. - Because of the chili. - It's because of the chili. - No, it's part of the texture, which we were talking about earlier. It's part of the snap. I love the bread and I love the bread to sauce to meat ratio, it's perfected. - I really like, you know, sausages. - Onions.

- I used to think hot dogs were just aight, 'cause in my mind I was only thinking about the American hot dogs. And then we had the Danish hot dogs on tour and it changed my life. - There's different levels of quality that you can get, but I love all dogs. I want all dogs in my mouth, regardless of quality. I just want them all. - Paul's. - I admit the Danish hot dog, probably superior to most hot dogs. - Do you prefer a hot dog over just a traditional sausage?

- Most of the times, yeah. 'Cause I like the bread aspect. I like the sauce aspect. - Can you find that from a fucking real sausage? - Don't get me wrong. Sausages would be on this list too, but I can't have two sausages on this list. - The Australian in me is saying the sausage sandwich is better than- - Again, sausage sandwiches, British sausage buddies. - No, no, you guys fucked it up. The Australians did it the correct way. - What the fuck are you talking about? - Yeah, you guys cut that shit in half and you-

- From us. - Yeah, we made it better. You guys cut that shit in half and you put two slices of bread, that's too much bread. Get one slice of bread diagonally, wrap that shit around. You can hold it in one hand, you get full sausage. - I agree with Joey. - We do it better. - No, no, 'cause you're- - We do it better. - It's just 'cause you can't, in Australia, you can't afford,

- We don't want more bread, we want more sausage. - You guys on your island. - Joey's finally speaking my language. - No, no, no, no. - Joey's speaking my language. - You silenced bread-hater. - It doesn't matter if you've validated me. A few British sausage sandwich, also one of my favorite comfort foods as well. Just sausage with bread, regardless of which combination it's made of,

being put in is probably my favorite food of all time. - It's up there. - It's my number one thing. I will never ever say no to a hot dog or a British sausage sandwich or a sausage on its own. I just love sausage. Hands up, right? I'm a born JoJo fan. I want sausage in every single form. - But I can never like not think that hot dog, like every time I've had a hot dog, an American hot dog, not Danish hot dogs,

I can just never not think I would just prefer a real sausage. - 100%. Yeah, but if I'm in the occasion, I'm like, I'm down. The snap is there. That's all I'm looking for. The snap, the sauce, the bread, the quality. - It tastes so fucking processed. - Yeah, it is. It does, it does. And it's definitely not as good. - It's like eating- - Pickles too?

It's like having the choice of like a steak or something and being like, actually I would rather have spam. - If we're talking like American like street food stuff, like say like if you're in New York or something, there's tons of like food stands, hot dog included. I'd rather just get a fucking kebab. - Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Any day of the week. Over a hot dog, kebab or gyro any day of the week.

- It's just better. - No, it's not. - I've had hot dogs from New York like food stands before and they're just all right. The fucking kebabs and gyros though, shit. - When I toured America, I tried every style of American hot dog as well and they were all fantastic. - 'Cause of all the fucking scene. - The Detroit dog, the Coney dogs.

The Ben's Chili Bowl dogs in DC, that was an amazing spot. They got the Chicago dogs, no sauce. I respect the hustle up for- - And then you were all trumped by Denmark, so. - Denmark also is great. I love every form of sausage, so I think it's fine.

- Speaking of Joey, you called me basic. Genovese pasta is my favorite pasta. - Yep. - If I had to pick one. - Yep. If I had to pick one over spaghetti bolognese, it'd be this one. - Genovese. - I do like that we've all put a different type of pasta on here. - Although I am noticing that's spaghetti, I believe. - I think that's, is that not linguine?

- That's linguine. - Is that linguine? - It looks like spaghetti. - Come on, Joey. - I was about to say. - I can't tell the difference between your linguine and your spaghetti. What are you doing? Linguine is okay, but I obviously would prefer anything else. The thing I really, really like about Genovese is that

Genovese as a source is strong enough that on its own it can just carry. But you can add stuff to it to make it, if you want to fan up a little bit, you can add shrimp to it. You can add some kind of veg to it. You can add meat to it if you want. - These are like broccolini or asparagus. - Oh, it's so good. It just nails it, dude. And it's such an intense flavor and no other pasta comes close to tasting like it. It's such a unique flavor. - For sure, yeah. - 'Cause they were just like, what if basil was everything? And we were like, all right.

I'm like, all right, let's hear the guy out. - Pesto is good. - Pesto is good. - Pesto is God tier. - I'm a fiend for pesto. - I literally went to Genova just to have Genovese. Just because I was like, I love this food so much. I want to go to the source. And it was amazing.

- I went to the source, baby. The source of the sauce. - It was so worth it. Everywhere they had lasagna that was Genovese base and it was insane. It was so good. - That sounds like my dream dish. - It was amazing. - You've just improved on Genovese pasta. - They had pasta that was infused with Genovese or like pesto so that it was like- - Well, shit, I know what I'm getting for dinner tonight. - Dude, I'm telling you, it is such an amazing,

- It's an amazing dish. - Yeah. - And I just love it. But you know what? When I go to a lot of Italian restaurants, I don't order it all the time. I'm very reserved with how I want to order it. Especially in Japan. I feel like they don't do it justice here. They don't go hard enough with the pesto. They hold back. They treat it like it's a pepperoncino or something. They do it like a light flavor.

- Bury it. - I respect the pronunciation of that. - Yeah. - Peperochino. - Peperochino. - It's like it's a lighter pesto. Japan likes their lighter pastas. And I feel like- - Japanese hate their flavor. - They just hate flavor, right? And I feel like when they do a pesto pasta here, right? They just, they're too scared to pile it on. - I agree.

- Bury it. If it doesn't look like this, if it doesn't look this green, you haven't put enough on. - Yeah, totally. - In Japan, it'll be like a light green. I'm like, what is this? - Are you spaghetti as well? - It's always spaghetti here. I hate Japan. - It's like spitting on the Mona Lisa. I'm like, why would you do that? - It's only spaghetti they use here. - It's already a work of art. - Italians are crying. - Yeah. - You go to a real Italian place here and they'll be like, what kind of pasta do you want? You're like, my heroes. They're asking me what kind of fresh pasta I want. I get very passionate about this 'cause I think that

Spaghetti tells me you didn't try. - Yeah. - It tells me you thought about pasta as a monolith. You thought about it as all being accessible from the view of spaghetti and I hate that. So yeah. - All right. - I realize now I'm gonna have to put the- - Tesco sandwich. - Oh, okay. I thought we're gonna do the beans on toast. I was gonna have to- - Oh yeah, do beans on toast first. - I got a shot of the fanny. - All right, defend whatever the- - First of all, this picture has done it. - You bastard. This is the worst picture ever. - As a fellow Brit. Okay, as a fellow Brit.

how do you present beans on toast and not make it look like the most depressing dish that you can? - So, first of all,

I understand there is a barrier of entry to beans on toast that is liking beans. 'Cause some people just do not like beans and I can understand that. I'm a big bean lover. - Yeah. - So the way that you make beans on, I would never eat it like this. The way you make beans on toast, God, take it to another level. First of all, white bread, get rid of it. We need better bread than this. You can get like- - Like seeded bread?

- You get seeded bread, you can get brown bread, multigrain bread, bread with more flavor, more starch that compliments the beans better. White bread gets way too soggy too quick and becomes mush. So you get the nicer bread. You toast the bread. It's gotta be toast. - It's called beans on toast. - I know, I know, but some people don't do it enough. They're too scared to toast. - That's bean on bread. - That bread is raw. - That's not toasted enough. - That's raw. - There should be a little bit of the bread that is slightly charred, right?

Then this is where you take it to the next level. - You put cheddar on it? - You've got to put cheese on it. You put cheese, you can slice the cheese, put it on top and then take it to the next level. You put it in the oven, right? You let the cheese melt. - That's what everyone who doesn't live in England, this is the image people think. - I never heard of the cheese. - So bear in mind, you toast the bread independently. You get the beans ready, you put it on top. You put the cheese that's not, it's just blocks of cheese, right? Then you put it in the oven, the cheese melts.

You take it out, you fry an egg. So it's a fried egg on top, God tier. And then you can put, which I like doing, but it's not for everyone, you can put the HP sauce on it, which is like a British staple. - Yeah, the brown sauce. - Yeah, brown sauce. And then you've got an absolute giga chad of a meal. - That sounds really fucking good. - It's so good. It's cheese, egg, beans, and bread. And it's like a mush. I know people- - I feel like at this point- - It's so good. - It's beyond, you can't even call that beans on toast anymore.

- But that's how you make beans on toast like exciting. - That's just like a breakfast toast. - It's so fucking good. - I don't know, I mean. - There's an aspect of comfort in this, I'll admit. Travel, nostalgia. - Yeah, for sure. I mean, I ate fucking Heinz beans when I was growing up as well 'cause that was all over Australia. - I'm not gonna argue this because I'm not American, you know, so. - I know the Americans wanna come for me and tell me that I'm class.

- Maybe if there was an American on this podcast, this would be a much more controversial pick. - I will say the one collective memory everyone has with like, you know, unloading a can of beans onto bread is that it doesn't matter how big the bread is, that shit's always falling off. That shit's always spilling over. - It needs to spill, it needs to spill. The ratio needs to be more. Americans are too afraid to try this. They fear for what they don't know.

- Well, the one you said actually sounds really fucking good. - Dude, it's so good. - I need to try that now. - When we come to the UK next, we'll whip it up soon. - For me, I have a bigger problem with Tesco's meal deal. - You put that over Greggs? Really? - Well, the Greggs could be up here. This is, you know what? Honestly, the Greggs probably deserves a spot more. I'll be real with you. The Greggs does deserve it, but I had to rep it. I had to rep it and nostalgia, but you know what? They've gotten out of it. - To be fair, the chicken club is a banger. - Chicken club's good. I also like the stuffing, bacon and chicken.

one is really good too. Although I overrate, I say bacon is kind of mid, but the stuffing is really good. I do think that Tesco's have gotten way too comfortable jacking up those prices. It's getting to the point now where it's no longer kind of worth it. This is pure nostalgia for me, but there's nothing better. I, you know,

I love packed sandwiches. I think there's something about it that is just so kind of great. It's like, yeah, I could just- - Not the Japanese ones. - No, fuck no. I can just live off bread and some filling. Like I feel like there's something about it that just gets me happy.

And I love it. I think Greg's is a little bit more, I'll be real with you. - Yeah, that was my biggest problem where I saw this and I was like, if we go down this route, this motherfucker really thinks the mess Tesco deal is better than like Greg's. - If we're in like our matrix simulation, you hand me both your like meal deal or cheese and onion pasty or sausage and bean melt, I'm like, all right, give me the pasties.

but I had to wrap it. I had to wrap it. Yeah. All right. And then bottom middle fried chicken, right? Just fried chicken in general, fried chicken. Listen, I, you know, we've gone on about this boneless stuff. I appreciate all fried chicken bone in boneless. It's all God to you. I agree. Um, we're being, that's what they want us to distract ourselves with. Um, I like wings a lot, but I think fried chicken just takes it for me. Um,

- Right. - But even fried chicken on the bone. - What kind of fried chicken? Just any fried chicken? - Korean fried chicken is really good too. I like Nashville hot chicken too, it's really nice. - Oh, that is good, yeah. If you like all kinds of fried chicken, why did you not order more types of fried chicken when we were on tour? It was always boneless, always. - Well, I like- - Always boneless. - Because- - Because it's the comfort.

The true giga chad of realizing fried chicken is not of the flavors of fried chicken, the bone in bone out, it's the dips. The dips are what sets the flavors apart. And America does some amazing dips. - That's where you're just like so fucking wrong. - See, 'cause you're a fool 'cause you don't like drip. You don't like dips. - I like drip. - You have no drip. In America, they have figured out dips. Their dip game is insane. - Ranch.

Blue cheese. - But you'll go to a place and they'll be like Chipotle something. You're like, I don't even know you could combine Chipotle with something. - Chick-fil-A sauce? - Chick-fil-A sauce or they'll be like- - I think Chick-fil-A sauce is great, but Chick-fil-A chicken is even great without the sauce. - Oh, fuck off, man. - Are you serious? - What are you talking? The sauce is- - It's fucking great. - I'm saying it's great. - The sauce is- - I'm saying like,

- No, it's great, but the sauce is more elevated. - Too many times do I hang out with you guys and you were just like raising everything based on the sauce. And I'm just like, it's not always about the sauce. - No, it is. - It's not always about the sauce. - It really is. - It is not, no way. - Eat some plain ass fucking chicken, unseasoned chicken.

I'm taking the dip any day. - Honey mustard, God tier. Like smoky Chipotle, God tier. Nashville hot. - You're not real chicken lovers. I refuse. - I love chicken, but the dip is what elevates it. And in my mind, fried chicken inhibits that the best. And when we were on tour, we had so many good places and every single place was amazing. - With fried chicken, it's more than just the sauce. It's about the coating. It's about the seasoning and the coating as well. - Yeah, that's good too. - That's great too. - But how it's fried, but how crispy it is. There's so much to fried chicken. - And then- - It's beyond the fried chicken.

- And then when you have that perfect piece of chicken as you describe and you put some fucking dip into it. - Yeah, yeah. It's like, you know, when I have, if I go to KFC, right? Which I don't, but if I do, I have the leg raw, I'll eat the leg raw. And then I'm like, all right, it's time to mix it up now. It's time for gravy to get involved. You know, it's time to make this better. 'Cause I wanna mix and match flavors. I wanna have more than one flavor. - He wants to do a combo breaker, dude. Let him. - Combo.

- Caesar salad. - Caesar salad, baby. I love a Caesar salad. Especially, you know, in America, it's such a gamble. You either get like the most dog shit Caesar salad or you get such a good one. And I admit, sometimes they go too hard with the dressing and they add too much stuff that makes it not healthy. But when you get the perfect Caesar salad, it's like an awakening. You're like, oh my God, it tastes good. I feel great. And it's just such a good texture. The croutons.

- Oh, with the sauce and a little bit of shaved Parmesan cheese. - My one criticism of Caesar salad that I had in the past is that sometimes the croutons just spawn out of nowhere when you take a big mouthful of it and you just stab your fucking mouth with it. - I prefer small, in this picture the croutons are huge. - Those croutons are huge, yeah. - I prefer little chunks of croutons that just give me

Like the little cubes. - Yeah, I love the cubes. - To me like Caesar salads are like probably my least favorite salads. - No, the dressing is so good. I love the anchovy sauce. It's just so good. - It just feels like too heavy, you know, sometimes. - What's your favorite? Like a vinaigrette? - Yeah, I love vinaigrette. - That's fair enough. - Vinaigrette's all the way. - If I'm ordering a salad, I'm like making the commitment to order like, because that means I'm craving something light. You know, Caesar salad is- - You can have a light Caesar salad.

- Not in America you can- - Yeah, but that's why I like it in the UK, I like it in Japan. And that's why I like when you get to make it yourself, you can apply the amount of dressing you want. - I've recently come around to like Cobb salads. Like I used to not really like Cobb salads, but I think I've slowly kind of started to appreciate Cobb salads more. I love Caesar as well, don't get me wrong.

It's the best dressing. It's the best number one, baby. Number one all the way. - I just wish some places in America would stop drowning that shit in the sauce. - I love it. - I love the sauce, but sometimes it's too much. - But sometimes you go to a place, right? And they homemade, they make the sauce homemade and it's like so anchovy and I love that. I love it when it's super fishy. - The anchovy is good. - And with chicken, chicken breast, like shredded. So God tier. What a fucking- - The chicken Caesar salad? Yeah, they're pretty good. - Oh!

- It's so good, I love it. - All right. - All right. - The coffee unmatched. - And you know what? I'm very surprised that you did not put tiramisu. - You know, it was gonna be on there. It was gonna be on there. - You know, when you said tiramisu, when I was talking about my thing, I should have replaced it with the shortcake. I think tiramisu might be higher for me than shortcake. - You know what? I think it's 'cause ultimately I'm a savory guy until I die. And I think even though I love tiramisu, I think the savory food still gaps it in my mind.

- Yeah, that's fair. - I just love, I love salt and I love savory foods. All of these are like very salty foods generally. And I really like salt. I'm gonna die of stomach cancer probably, but I love salt. - Sodium overload. - I love salt.

- There's never an occasion I won't go for something savory over something sweet. - Oh, no, 100%. - Yeah, yeah, 100%. - So yeah, that's my food, three by three. - And that is our food, three by threes. Let us know in the comments below whose opinions are right, whose opinions are wrong. - Listen, I know I'm gonna be clowned on, but I don't care. I know what I like.

I just, I thought you were better Joey. - Med. - I thought you were better. - That's my precious memory with my grandma that I won't let anyone take away from me, okay? - Sorry grandma. - Love you grandma. - Sorry grandma, I said sorry for those comments. - Hey, but look at all these patrons though.
