We Bought Food From Strangers. | Transcript:

We all got to eat and we all got to try new foods. Which is why today we are going to be playing a game of culinary show and tell because we recently found out that you can go to Facebook Marketplace, simply type in foods and there are a bunch of local people selling delightful foods that you can just go get, which is really cool cuz it actually cuts out a lot of the middleman and you can just get really interesting things. So, what we did is we all took a lot of cash. We gave ourselves a 10-mi radius around the office and we went forth to try and find the most interesting foods to show to each other under several categories. We have international. We have domestic from the US of A. And I will include Guam and Puerto Rico inside of that copy.

That's good to know. And then we have fusion foods. Very prevalent Facebook marketplace. And we have a food that really speaks to us personally. You guys ready to do it? I'm Let's do it. I'm excited. I'm very I'm excited for Calypsoup's borched. It's got a story behind it. I love it. You love it. We all love borched. What is this? Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take you back to when we first started talking about this episode because this is Taylor's idea and Taylor goes, "Have you guys seen all the food on Facebook Marketplace?" I just scroll through it

for hours and I'm like, "What?" And then I immediately go to Facebook Marketplace, type in food, and the first image that I see is a like 20 gallon stockp filled with borch that says authentic borched o old Russian family recipe and I knew I needed to have it. And also in Burbank, you know how much I love burbank. So this is a burbank style borch. I picked this up from Cleo. This is her vegetarian version. I've never bought soup in a park before. Can I ask like where your family's from or where are you from? Like I'm Armenian, but I have Russian descent in background. Oh. Um, I do a lot of Russian cooking. This one is vegetarian, so I didn't put any meat in it,

so it's going to be just strictly cabbage and beets, and it's it's more of like a gut cleans. It's going to clean you out. I can't wait to try it. I need to be cleaned out. I got borched from Philip Soups. Veget, onions, potatoes, carrots, a lot of dill in there, and beet juice. Let's give it a try. She also said that this is um this will clean you out. Dude, I've been cleaned out too much, bro. Tastes like what health is supposed to feel like. You know what I mean? It tastes like the ground.

Dude, it tastes like Earth Day. It does in a way that I love. I Do you like beets? I love when they have cheese in them. But this is not bad. So many bowls of this. The earthiness of the beets with the sourness of the dill and then the sour cream. I'm not a huge beet guy. Like I could eat this whole bowl and it's just fine. But I'm I'm not jonesing to go back for another bite of dirt. I spent $50 but on four quarts also. Come on. You're paying for the branding. Calyp soups. Yeah. I'm I'm taking one of these home.

I'm eating this weekend. Borch me up. All right. What else we got? Okay. Yeah. So, let me tell you a bit of a story. Um, this was advertised to me on the Facebook Marketplace as dumplings. Um, and as you can see here, there aren't any dumplings. Yeah. No. So, it's a dump of a lot of things. Uh, yeah. So, this is just mackerel and pork belly and then some I have a question. Yeah. This isn't close to dumplings. No. And what was the conversation um when you showed up? Hello. What have we got? What did we got?

Um we do have the brace pork meal and the uh marinated mir um mackerel grilled mackerel. That sounds so good. Okay, I'm very excited for this. Thank you so much. Yep. Of course. Also the sauce on the side. Okay, perfect. Hannah, thank you. Appreciate you guys. Thank you. I'm so excited. She told me about the food and I was like, "That doesn't sound like dumplings." And then we got in the van and came back and opened it up and lo and behold, it was not dumplings.

Did you tell her that's what you were looking for? She handed me the bag of food. I handed her 28 bucks and then we went on our merry way. What do you mean, bro? It's Facebook Marketplace. I love Facebook Marketplace and people selling food through it specifically. California actually made it easier for people to sell food out of their home with cottage laws during COVID. Which is really cool because I want to take a chance on some delicious like this is a delicious looking healthy Japanese breakfast. Yeah. That you can get. You know where else you get quail eggs with your brekie? That's true.

Not Denny's. Denny's is not on the quail game yet. Is this like a meal prep situation? Yeah. I don't know. I can't even lie. I'm enjoying this. I thought we were getting dumplings. Oh, I love tomagoyaki. This is really good. Can you eat it? Oh yeah. Okay, good. I eat this. Yeah, that's really good. I love eggplant. Okay, the eggplant. This whole little situation here. I have dumb questions. Is this meant to be breakfast?

I thought it was dumplings. I You keep asking me questions like I have I'm sorry I don't have more information. I thought I was Well, you know, we've got ourselves I think a classic case of maybe somebody else got my dumplings and I got somebody else's bento box and I hope that they enjoyed the dumplings if that's what happened. But this is just a delicious little meal. V, what do you got? I grabbed mochi. Oh, come on, man. Why are they so beautiful? How did she even do this? They're stunning. How was your meeting with her?

The interaction was very quick. Uh kind of just was like, "Let give me my money." And I was like, "All right." Okay. So, I just picked up uh the mochi from the Facebook marketplace. It's called Momoi is handmade slow by nature. Okay, cool. Wow. This one's like marble. Got some looks like dehydrated raspberries on this one. Some chocolate. It doesn't have a smell. These are gorgeous. And I'm really curious to see um what flavor she gave me. She said it was a surprise. It's a surprise. Oh my goodness. Have this one. I kind of want the marble one. I want the blue one. I want a blue. Wow. Like this is so beautiful.

I love mochi. It's one of my favorite things. But I specifically love mochi that's not mochi ice cream. Not one of my favorite things, but mochi filled with some sort of preferably a bean paste. Oh, I think I got a little matcha. This one has like a cream. Wo. Oh, yeah. There's like a peachy cream one. Switch. I got matcha and there's something else inside mine. There's a second center. M. So, yeah. I want this vibe right here. Really? I was expecting like a dense bean curd.

Mhm. We're going to Whoa, that one's so good. I really like this one. Is this pistachio and coconut? I don't know. It's Oh my god. So, this was about 40 bucks. I think it was worth it. Presentation, right? It came in a cute little pink bag. You know, it made me feel like a little girly pop. I just learned about that phrase. I'm learning so many new words. You just learned about girly pop. Shut up. Oh, this one tastes like a smoothie. I don't know if I love the dairy creams in the mochi so much as I love a dense bean paste, you know, or a starch

like a nice taro. Oh, this is a Dubai chocolate mochi. Bro, that was a whole chunk of pineapple I just got in there. Doug, that's a whole Dubai chocolate. This is the last one right here. It looks like chocolate. Whole thing going in. I want it to be frozen. I think if I got it like in a cream form like this, I would freeze it. No way, Kimabi. Wa. We tried every single one. This one was the last one. We kind of went to town on it. That was We didn't try this one.

Hold on. We forgot one. Go stuff that in your belly. Is it dense? It's denser than the other ones. It looks like a some type of coconut almond. This is like It's Almond Joy. We just had so many flavors. This might have been the best. I know. That was crazy, guys. We started with borched. Give our thumbs up over the one that we choose for this round that we like the most. Okay. All right. Okay. Ready? Three, two, one. Borched.

Mochi. Oh, I know. The borch mochi. I think we really all like the borched over the mochi. The borch was good. It was if I, you know, am on a diet. I accept that. That the mochi was really cool. And what I love about it is that it's got all the variety. So, you can give it as like a gift box. It's got the kind of like seas candy or what they Joshua Early Russell Stover's vibes, you know? Man. Yeah. Fun time. Hey, strong start. I like Facebook.

That's what's in there. This is T's low and slow barbecue. I met up with T and Wanda in the park. They were super wonderful. We got the greens. We got the chicken. We got some beans in here. I've been barbecuing for about five, six years. Real green beans.

I appreciate that. Oh, wonderful. We got some large noodles. Mac, some potato salad. We got his cornbread. Looks really different. Orange. Really dark. We got beans. We got greens. We got ribs. We got beans. Green. Bone app. Okay. Everybody's going I can go in on whatever I want. Okay. Well, get in on this matter. I love me a nice ribs. Very heavily seasoned. Mhm. You got some good developing bark. Not great. Listen, I ain't no competition barbecue reviewer. I'm a guy who likes to eat smoked meats.

Let me see. Yeah, this is tasty. It's really flavorful. It's a dry rib. It's super seasoned. M Oh my gosh. I mean, this is only 21 bucks, too. And like barbecue's expensive these days, too. For one barbecue expensive, bro. Yeah. For the plate with all the sides and the ribs. 21 bucks. That's not bad. A classic barbecue mac and cheese. It's a brick. Yeah, it's a brick. You know what I mean, dude? I made a brick mac and cheese before in my life. I like a brick and cheese.

Brick as in good or as in cold. No, cuz to me brick means cold. Literally. Yeah, brick. Okay. Didn't realize you're from New York, bro. Sorry. D New Yorker. We're just eating. We're eating a good time right now. This is such a crazy line. I haven't tried everything. No, I understand. Actually, I $21. I don't know what it is, but I love that for $21. This is crazy. It ain't got no grapes or raisins in it.

Ash. Hey, Wick. Hold on. Well, I'd love to Hold on. I've made a colelaw the other day and now I put a bunch of raisins in it. Why? Cuz I love raisins. Oh god. And can we talk about Can a white boy talk about putting raisins in his salads for a second? No, he can't, bro. No, he can't. Sound off in the comments if you want Josh to stop talking about raisins in his I genuinely love it. It's a nice little pop of sweet and acid. Also very common in North African and Middle Eastern cooking. It's not just

I don't care what you're thinking. It's not just a white boy thing. Don't put on my salad. Everyone use hashtag raisins are not just for white boys are also popular in North African and southern Italian cuisine. That's a really nice I think we should use that hashtag to spread that get that trending everybody. Get that trending. Let's pickles. Okay, I have pickles from Victoria. Victoria, very nice lady. We met in the park and I gave her $20 for this jar of pickles. Oh. Okay. Hi. Nice Victoria. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you as well. Okay. What got you into making pickles? We just started to see how many dyes and preservatives were actually in the pickles we were eating and to see that you only need a few ingredients. Yeah. It just made sense to start like I guess making them myself. That's awesome. Thank you so much, Victoria. I appreciate it. Of course. Do we hug or we can hug? Yeah, that sounds great. She was like, "You don't need a lot of stuff to make pickles. I just want to make them clean, healthy at home. And so I have a question. What kind of bull crap is she talking about in the pickles?

I don't recall exactly dyes. I don't know stuff. They're dying the pickles now. I don't know, man. I It's been a long time since I looked at the ingredients on the Velic jar. Ash, can you do me a favor? These aren't. Can you grab me a jar of pickles? These aren't Kool-Aid pickles. Now guys, this was $20 for this jar of pickles. Why don't we see what the ingredient What the bull crap that Victoria is talking about is. Give me a pickle. Cucumbers, water, salt, vinegar, garlic, calcium chloride, sodium benzoate, rice, mustard seed, dried bell pepper, poly sorbate, 80,

olia, resin, turmeric. Yeah, you know, there's some there's preservatives in these pickles. Okay, they've been pickling. It tastes almost like a half sour. You got the dill in there, you got the garlic, you got the mustard seed. Can I say something a little critical? She said she was open to critique. Victoria, I think what you've done is you're on a wonderful endeavor. What I think though is I think you need to go back to the drawing board a little bit on the aromatics. You know what I mean? I think the aromatics I think there's a lot of them in there, but I think it comes through with a little bit of a muddled flavor.

Is that an allspice berry? Um, yeah. Do you want to bite it? Yeah, I get it. There's something that feels like they're clashing a bit. The good news is you can play around with stuff like all spice berries and you know bunch of dill, bunch of garlic, all that, but if they're not all working together and sometimes it becomes distracting for a pickle. Yeah, I love Here's the thing. I love pickles. You put a pickle in my hand, there's a good chance I'm going to like it. Unless it's a bread and butter pickle, if it's not a dill pickle, actually stay the heck away from me.

Yeah, there you go. I love all pickles. I love all pickles equally. Okay, good for you, bro. I don't care. Let's try some dried meat. All right. Got beef jerky, guys. I got some beef jerky. I picked it up at a church. Okay. Um Studio City, doesn't matter. Not important. And the Okay, here. So, this is two. And I wanted to give you two more just in case you want to share with anyone. Oh, I will for sure. All right. I got jerky. It's beef. It's dry. It's in front of a church. It was $16 and it was a project that her son was doing in class and they make jerky five to six times a year and they had a lot of

batches so they were selling them. This the first time they sold them on Facebook marketplace. We got a science project jerky. So it's science project jerky. That's awesome. Three ingredients beef salt pepper. Yeah. And she said honest critique. I will say you ever see a copy bar I eat. No, but this is people think but this is good. This is natural. It tastes like beef. It tastes like salt. It tastes like pepper. Yeah. It's preserved really well. You got fun branding on it.

I'm having a good time. This is wonderful. Do I think that you're going to threaten the Jack Links Hegemany in the Costco? Not yet. But you know, you could one day. And that's what I love about Facebook Marketplace. Mhm. A light and energizing snack. I can't even lie. I feel energized. I'm kind of enjoying this now. We've eaten all three. Do we put our thumbs up over which one we like the most? One, two, three. Oh my god. Wait. Okay. I hadn't decided yet. You guys went so fast. You didn't.

How do you not know already? I don't know. I had I didn't think about it now. Now I feel bad. Well, no. I agree. The barbecue's good. I just had to take a second. No. First, we need a bunch of condiments. We got our Sriracha. We got our vinegar sauce. We got our sweet chili sauce. Hey, speaking of condiments, great segue, Josh. Thanks, Josh. Me and Nicole have a podcast. It's called a hot dog as a sandwich. And we recently debated ketchup versus, wait for it, mustard, which is crazy. I know. People said that we could never have that debate. And be honest, no, no, no. Not ketchup. Mustard versus mustard. Ketchup. We I take one,

she takes the other. I'm repping on the side of ketchup because I believe ketchup is the most important condiment in the history of man. I literally never would have thought to compare those two condiments. But now what we got here, so I was really excited about this. So this is a sushi bake from my home girl, Janisa. I've been doing that for 5 years now and it's one of our bests sellers. Oh my. One of your best sells sellers. What else do you sell?

Pork lubia and a vegetable spring rolls. Guys, what are the ingredients in the sushi bake? Uh sushi bake comes with a sushi rice in the bottom. Uh the protein is imitation crab. It comes with a sour cream, cream cheese, and a Japanese seasoning. So Janisa was telling me that this is actually a Filipino original. So this went viral like 5, six years ago in Filipino food Tik Tok. This is Pinoy original. This is uh sushi rice on the bottom, topped with imitation crab. She puts some sour cream, mayonnaise, and cheese in there.

Bakes it off, broils it, puts Japanese like rice seasoning on top. Then she recommended serving it with Sriracha. May I get a drizzle, bro? Get a look beautiful. That's crazy. That sounds good, bro. And then she Hold on. I'm going to crosshatch it. I'm crosshatching some spice on it. Sriracha ketchup. And then we got the seaweed for it. Wait for it. Check this out, though. That was $25. But then she casually just brought out What the hell? Yeah. Make room a bunch of Olympia. We got vegetable Olympia and then Olympia Shanghai right here. I know, dude. She was so sweet. I tried to give her extra money and she like utterly refused. She like genuinely just seemed so proud to be able to make this

food. They do a lot of catering. Yeah. This is crazy. This is around four. By the way, this is so much food. Oh my god. Laps. What the heck? I've never had a sushi bake before. Wait, me neither. It's my first time. You imagine just sitting on your couch with this just slouch down Laker game on. Put it on your belly. Bucket of seaweed just scooping it out. Oh my god. Re-watching Three Body Problem trying to figure out what's going on.

Not Three Body. I want to try the loopy. It looks gorgeous. I just did the I sat down like this for a bit and I don't know if I can get up. Oh This is meant for a party, right? You're not eating.

It's so good. cross section. There's sauces. These are $20 each. This is so I don't even want to bite it. My brother in whatever god you believe in. This right here. This is gospel. I've seen this dude. I've seen this dude on social media. He has started to blow up. Oh my god. And like very welld deserved. Also from somebody who Josh Kang I 10 years ago was selling burritos from my apartment on Instagram cuz I had the Stony Bologn

artisal Jimmy Chongas pop up at Smoresburg that would have leftover ingredients and I said I don't want this to go to waste. Dude, I really So this makes me like genuinely emotional. Like this is what things like Facebook Marketplace are for. You ever just like can't breathe when I really need to lay down. I like I Has anyone ever actually needed to take a nap in the middle of an episode? Cuz this could be a first. Shut the front door, man. That's so good. This is so good. Oh, he took his time.

Josh, you deserve $1 million cash. You know when they say God took his time with you. Yeah. I mean this very truly. Like this is what food and ergo life is about is finding people who are making something as cool as this. If you have an opportunity to get this burrito from Kang's Cuisine, you should eat it because it's it's a heck of a good time. Well, guess what? We got a cheesecake right here. Dude, what? Hello.

Yeah. Which I'm not the biggest fan of. Oh, I Cuz it doesn't have the stiffness that you want. I want it to be like cut with a little bit of flour and I want it to be baked just until it's a little bit set. So it so you can get a clean slice out of it. This is more like a custard texture. No, I love the custard texture. This is incredibly refreshing fire. I think I'm leaning to the side like my uncle's. That feels baked. Or is that still Why does this one feel big to me? Oh, this Biscoff one. Oh my god, dude. I have two active spoons. One is sushi bacon, one's cheesecake, and I don't know which is which.
