Today, the four of us are tasting some delicious dishes. However, in each round, one dish was spoiled. We're talking about insanely salty, bitter, overly spicy, or just plain disgusting tasting. One of them is terribly bad. The bottom line is that if you get such a dish, you have to restrain your emotions and keep a perfect poker face so that no one guesses. Fool your friends, survive the vote and try to win the round. My heart was pounding. This is madness. Guys, all these dishes contain ingredients that are banned somewhere in the world, but probably not in the UK.
Why are you surprised? You prepared them yourself. Yes, but you just didn't know why they were banned. No. Oh no. I don't like it. I knew about most of them, but about this one, looking at it before filming, I thought: why is it illegal? So, we have a silly game and a few facts. Wonderful. Certainly. And Kush went to great lengths to make them even more "illegal" than they were to begin with. Yes, I can imagine. Want to lift the lid on the first dish, which is called " gegis"? I mean, great wordplay right off the bat.
Haggis is a favorite Scottish delicacy. A savory pudding made with lamb offal, oatmeal, and spices. It has a rich peppery flavor and a crumbly, nutty texture. It has been banned in the United States since 1971, where federal regulations prohibit products containing animal lungs due to concerns that they may contain fluids from other parts of the body, such as stomach contents. We were filming something with Roberta for the Greater Together LA story and talking about all the great things about the UK.
She's a Scottish chef with great restaurants, and we were discussing the great food in Los Angeles, and how to combine the two. She kept saying, "Yes, but I wanted to bring haggis." She was very upset. Well, now she wo n't be upset. Because we don't just have haggis, Kush made haggis spring rolls out of it. But one of them contains a salty surprise, turning it into a "gegis." And this surprise is salt. Yes, a lot of salt. The problem is that salt always sounds innocent until you eat something so salty that it becomes unbearable and almost burns.
It's like comparing a glass of water and a seawater. Yes, that's even worse. To your health. Well, you will find out. Obviously you hate salt. Cheers. It's all in one. No, take a bite. Cheers. I'm one of those people who eats haggis for breakfast, even though I know it's probably not the best idea. Carefully with potatoes and whiskey gravy. Yes, it looks a lot like black pudding, doesn't it? Yeah, a little salty. A oatmeal. A little spice.
It's all because of the grains. They add such a springy texture. So, guys, if you're ready, write down the name of the person you think ate the haggis. At first I thought it was obvious. Oh my God. And then I had to change my mind. The eyes usually give it away. But he always looks so sad. You just can't know. Oh, now I'm using it. Yes, I know. And you really mean I'm just genuinely sad all the time. So Yes, but it was also Mike.
It was me. It was Mike. Well, well done. Well done, for confidently coming back for that last piece and not giving up. My throat just burns now. I will say this, ours were quite tasty. There was a teaspoon and a half of salt in yours. This is too much. Just shoved in raw haggis and then Well, guys, at the end of the first round we're back where we started. But now we all have one point. So, it turns out to be pointless. Yes. Right. Round two. Well, Mike, start the second round, which is called " Apocalypse". Poppy seeds are tiny nutty seeds that are most often sprinkled on bagels, bread, and sweet pastries.
Despite its size, it has been used in cooking for thousands of years, adding a subtle crunch and earthy flavor. Although poppy seeds are completely legal in the UK, they are controversial around the world because unwashed seeds can contain traces of natural opiates. opiates on its surface. If eaten enough, it can even lead to a positive drug test result, which is why it is actually banned in Singapore. Unless you can prove to the Central Bureau of Narcotics Control that there is absolutely no opium in your mace. Wow, interesting. I didn't know that. So, today we have chocolate poppy seed cones, but one of them has an incredibly sour surprise hidden inside.
don't like any of that at all. I hate this game. Kush, what's the sour surprise? Um, I went back to citric acid for this. I bought six chocolate ice cream cones. "Cornetto", famous in the UK. Cornetto. Uh, I broke off the bottom, well, the very base. And that's the most delicious part, right? It is filled with chocolate. Three of them are simply wonderful. I cleaned out the insides, mixed the chocolate with citric acid, and stuffed it back in.
How much citric acid? But somewhere a teaspoon. In a small horn. A Choose a horn. Any. Such a beautiful, elegant size. It's all inside. It's all inside. Everything should be inside. To your health, guys. Very creative. Kush. Cheers. For some reason, I associate poppy seeds with Easter. Easter baking. Many good Polish pastries have wonderful poppy seeds and chocolate. Really? Poppy seeds are widely used in South Asia, such as Bangladesh or India, to thicken curries and make poppy seed paste? Yes, poppy.
Melon seeds. Nothing goes to waste there Melon seeds. Yes, I've heard of poppy. Anyone want to taste later? I think Mike did a "dirty take." What? I was thinking about Mike too. I think it was a gang. It was Mike because he looked at me like he wanted to hurt me. I thought for a moment it was you, and then I saw Mike's eye twitch. I couldn't control it. You were holding up really well until a certain point, and then some involuntary squeak escaped from you, and I do n't know what it was.
This isn't so disgusting. This is simply impossible. Yes, this is so hard to deal with. Yes, you did well My teeth are chattering. Well, at the end of the second round we are in the same situation as at the beginning of the first. The score is even. We all have two points. Let's see if Mike can get a third? A dirty hat trick. Make a dirty hat- trick. I wonder if anyone at home has another account. Well, let's see how the third round goes. Evers. Uh, do you want to lift the lid?
Absinthe. One of the world's most famous spirits, infused with herbs including wormwood, anise and fennel, it is known for its distinctive licorice flavour and striking green colour. It's in the air. Absinthe was banned in most countries around the world in the early 1900s after claims that it caused hallucinations, insanity, and aggressive behavior. Oh, great. Was n't that the reason for the creation of some of the greatest works of art? Yes. He just said " yes". He doesn't know.
Yes. Yes, these concerns, which contains a compound called thujone. Research has shown that these claims were greatly exaggerated, and most of the problems were actually related to excessive alcohol consumption and poor quality alcohol due to being a bit of a dork. Yes, essentially. So, today Kush made an absinthe cocktail, an apple-strawberry " Blue Baboon". Why the blue baboon? It was supposed to be a " lagoon", I think. Like a " balloon". But these are some monkey tricks. Yes. But with a huge red ass. Go ahead, but one of them has a good portion of absinthe. When you started reading this, my palms got sweaty. And your knees shook, and your hands?
No, no. Uh, so this is a can of strawberry daiquiri mixed with apple cider, food coloring, and gold glitter. It was the Why did you pucker your lips so much? Oh, they all have alcohol, of course. Yes. A slight warmth in the throat, like from all alcohol. Yes. What is the name of the aniseed drink they drink in parts of France? Oh, the one that is drunk simply with water. Yes. It gets cloudy with water. What is the alcohol content in absinthe? Uh, this is 67 percent. So, someone is drinking a glass of absinthe right now.
I think it was old breathing Mike. Oh, so you really think you smelled it? Right at the end, when you were looking into my eyes, I caught that smell again. I thought it was serious, he was dead. Ah, I have to be frank. I shouldn't have bothered to wipe it off. Everything is the same. Oh, I thought it was Emma's. Well, at least now we have a loser. I thought when you breathed in this direction, it bothered me. Wow.
Oh, there he is. Yes. Yes, here he is. Three in a row. This is one. Yes, you did very well, because that's-that's cool. I feel good already. Yes. Well, at the end of the third round, I'm a little behind by two points. That's all that really matters. We are no longer playing the same game. No, you have three points each. The fourth round should be good. This is so annoying because I can't help but breathe. Kush, please lift the curtain on the fourth round. This is durian destruction.
Oh no. Durian is enjoyed by millions of people, especially in Southeast Asia, where it is revered as the king of fruits. It has a rich, creamy texture and a taste similar to custard. But it is also known for its incredibly strong smell. It is this smell that has made durian one of the most forbidden fruits in the world. It is banned from public transport and from being brought into many establishments in various countries, including Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, where "no durian" signs are almost as common as " no smoking" signs. This is funny. Today, three out of four will taste the durian mooncake. But durian sometimes has garlic notes. So what ingredient does Kush think would be a good choice as an extra topping for one
unlucky contestant? A whole bunch of garlic. Yes, raw garlic. Lots of grated raw garlic. This is madness. And as soon as they opened the package, they smelled. And eating the one that had nothing wrong with it was a real test. Hmm, that's not to our taste. I've never really liked durian. I tasted fresh durian and it was not bad. But I've never eaten delicious durian products. Mike and I had durian, uh, in Thailand on pizza, and it was actually, a little bit like pineapple. Yes. Quite tropical. If you are there, eat it.
Yes. If you have to get it frozen- if you're here, don't eat it. Yes. OK. Just cut it in half and hide it. Half a knife, half a knife. Interesting. So, it will be difficult. He's so oniony. Shall we take a second piece? Yes, of course. In fact, it's actually quite good. Durian is quite decent in this combination, right? It is quite viscous, both for sweets and for Not my favorite round. No, it's hard when none of us like it.
Yes, that's the hardest part. Kushi the bear. Yes. Who do you think it was? I think it's you, because your eyes got pretty wet in the middle of this. I thought it was Jamie. Jamie too, and I can smell it's Jamie. I am so sure. It's me. Of course. You missed the moment you picked it up. Yes. The bottom fell out, everything spilled out, and he just said, "Oh." The whole table.I heard this "Oh", but I didn't know what it was for.
Oh, that "O" was so disappointing. By the way, you ate the most out of the four of us. Yes, we must, we must, we must come to terms with this actually smells pretty good. Yes, fresh garlic is really nice. This smells great. Raw garlic is actually not that bad. I think when you mix it with durian and you get this creamy, garlicky flavor, it's not very good. It wasn't the worst option we had to hide. At the end of the fourth round, what? Kush has four points. Mike has four points. Evans has four points. And I have three points. You're lucky that It's time for round five. Fifth round. Michael, take the lid off. Red velvet. things you can break your teeth on.
Red velvet, rich cocoa sponge cake, savory cream cheese frosting, and today in the shape of pancakes with a scattering of shiny silver balls on top. Red velvet is very similar to red velvet, but with a devilish touch. It contains the hottest sauce in the UK- Wiltshire Chili Farms Regret. Wait, because it's not actually hot sauce that's the illegal ingredient here. No, these things. These are decorations in the form of silver balls.
Traditional metallic silver dragees are not considered dragees. It's better to drag. Traditional metallic silver dragees are considered inedible in California because they can sometimes contain metals that are not approved as food additives. So depending on where you are, decorating a cake with silver balls could technically put you out of the law. We could look at them all day, but I know we're all afraid of that, right? One of them is terribly bad. red velvet sponge cake that was mixed in a blender. Oh my God. Of course, they put it between the pancakes. And they poured half a bottle of hot sauce into that bad pancake. And that was for one whole pancake. So whoever gets the bad one, you will only eat a quarter of it Cheers. These crunchy
balls are everywhere. Oh my god, the balls are crispy. Oh, crispy. Oh my God. I don't really want to because there's so much sugar in it. Cush, when you tasted hot sauce. Yes. What do you say? The problem is, Ed came over with a bottle and asked if we had a toothpick. So I gave him a skewer. He dipped it in, tasted it, and said, "Oh, it's spicy, but it's not that bad." Then I took the tip of a spoon, dipped it in, and tasted it. My heart started pounding. Oh, really? Who do you think had it? Oh, that looks like bath soap.
I like it, it's cool. Pity. It says "sorry." It looks ominous. It's similar to what they give in hotels. His pupils are the size of eyeballs. Are No. King mayonnaise. Oh my god, there's milk upstairs. Thank you for watching. Like if you liked it.
