That kid was a champ. Good choice on your teammate great video, bro.
325 likes and no comments? Lemme fix that
He was definitely a champ i wouldn't touch half this stuff, especially the duck egg jesus christ. I think i'm open minded with food until i see some things but i'm sure plenty of people around the world enjoy all these foods.
Give him a raise
@@MindOfCrim yep it's a delicacy in the Philippines and they use salt and vinegar for more taste
Thomas hasn’t even heard of half the things that Max is making him eat 😂🤣
What’s your point?
@@Sun-diver he was just making a joke calm down dude
"I hate Sundays @@Sun-diver
@@bigbullets8483 cant blame em, it was sunday
@@bigbullets8483 Why would you assume I’m not calm? Do you understand what you’re saying?
Everyone is a foodie until Balut is on the menu.
A bunch of sissies. I seeked out balut because I that it looked good and it actually tastes good. It's no different than eating a regular grown chicken carcass, it's clean protein that's never been exposed to the world outside the shell
As Filipino they didn't eat it right you're supposed to eat it on a sidewalk opening the top putting on salt and drinking the juice
I’m Filipino and I don’t even like Balut
It's visually unappealing to most, which is understandable, but taste is better than a regular egg. Some salt or suka pinakurat elevates the flavor.
@Candidatescaler slurping it. I've had it before. The texture and taste just not my thing. My best friend since we were kids is Filipino and he gags whenever he sees someone eating it LOL.
max you need to mainline that kid hes gold. Especially putting you on the spot.
Duck egg: Master Skywalker, they are too powerful, what are we going to do? Max's honest reaction:
Balut filipino street food😊
@@JoshuaJonROcana I don't see any soup
@@Hanz701tzythey harvested the egg too late if you want soup the egg should be a bit younger
@@Snakue Yeah I know, that's why he doesn't like it because the best part of that Duck egg is the soup
@@Hanz701tzy true i love the soup and the yolk.
"That bread is over 10 times more expensive" "Do you think that bread is 10 times better?" We should all strive to be like Thomas.
The egg thing almost got me sick
I put some salt, and I'm probably weird but I love it💀💀💀💀
That egg was special… and I feel so bad for the ducks😢
7:29 PERCEBES!!! (goose barnacles) the best ones are from Galicia in the North of Spain 🇪🇦😋, we eat them every Christmas here in Spain.
7:59 🤦🏻♂️ How to eat: just boil the percebe, and grab by the nail, put all in your mouth and bite down, no mesh the salty water is tasty, then turn around and bite off the rocky end or just suck the meat from inside, no need to cut anything off.
Balut is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food most notably in the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam
Yea I figured those countries eat this stuff
@@themerchantchef Balut is also a middle eastern food, you dum san d ra t
@@themerchantchefit also exist in the middle east... you know the place you're from. Lmao
@@themerchantchefIt’s really good especially if you have salt and vinegar put into it
@@iloveeveryone8611 no you must be delusional
My grandfather is crying watching Max butcher that Jamon Iberico LMAO. Great video!
Spaniard detected 😂🇪🇦, the barnacles (percebes) are also a staple every christmas here in Spain 🇪🇦
@@IberianCraftsman percebes in Portugal too 🇵🇹❤️🇪🇸
he messed it up so badly :(
Man Max has a great taste taster buddy. Looking forward to see him more in upcoming videos.
Love that you include Thoams Thanks for always posting great content
I swear to god this guy knows everything about meat
That’s kinda why he’s called the meat guy
Hear me out
@@winterleon3808please no 💀
@@winterleon3808ayo
Nope, he only knows the western version He didn’t even set foot on the eastern hemisphere
Thomas ate these like a boss! Very impressed.
Im loving the content with your intern. super entertaining
That was an amazing video!! Kudos to the intern, he crushed it! Most people would have tapped out at the fermented shark. He even ate the duck egg, just amazing.
Max i believe it's pronounced (Gooey)-duck
Scrolling through comments for this one.
The way he pronounced it makes it sound like a Pokemon lol
@@saltymakerreed5983Same! 😂
yeah, I had to pause the video right then to see if anyone else had said it.
They aren't that rare on some BC beaches. Just live deep down in the sand.
For those wondering, Lobsters do get as blue as the one in the thumbnail. They are so rare that it should be a crime to eat them.
Yep. I'm glad he didn't eat one. When they are found they really should be given a good life in a tank that collects money to support the lobster fisheries. They are just so so rare. I've never been able to find out if you have two blues mate do they produce a blue.
Though I believe that any lobster can be blue if given special diet They are only rare in nature
@@user-ej4eq5im4r not exactly wrong,the color does get a tiny bit affected by the diet in other lobsters like the ghost lobster but from what I understand the blue color is due to a mutation in the carapace melanin that produces a lot of extra protein. Only 2 lobsters with the gene can produce another, and their chance is roughly one in 2 million.(there are other variants, with all being much more rare than the blue)
@@kostasrakevicius2441 I see now, thanks!
Why should it be illegal lol. It's just a dumb color. That'd be like saying albino people are better than anyone else
when you were about to mix that soda with the whiskey, I was so close to just stopping the video right there and then hahahaha, so glad you didn't!
LOVE that slab jerky!!! GREAT idea. Ordering some right now!
that trunk of the elaphant looked good
Yea and don’t be dirty minded 😅
Drake
Hear me out
Chat where can i buy that
@@Redhaned well…
The slab bag have been ordered and its coming my way soon. Yum.
Awesome video. Great deal on the jerky, I placed an order for some. Can't wait to try it!
Love seeing these videos while having something to eat. Great times to be had.
Not to judge or anything... But if you still had your appetite after the duck egg, i don't know if i should be impressed or disappointed
That egg made me pass out
Thomas has his Simba moment with the barnacle. "Slimey yet satisfying" 😂
Amazing! Thanks for the wagyu love! I wouldn’t have gone near that chicken wing! 🥵
Jamon Iberico is Spanish, not an Italian Prosciutto. Spanish prosciutto (crudo) simply does not exist. Jamon Iberico is not a type of prosciutto, both Jamon Iberico and prosciutto crudo are types of cured ham.
hearing him call Jamon Iberico 'prosciutto' was just a god damn crime.
It triggered me hearing him say it’s expensive prosciutto
proscuitto: italian word for ham ibérico: Spanish word for iberian and is the name of the peninsula where Spain and Portugal are located how these words ended up in the same sentence is beyond me, yet again Americans aren't really known for their geography
We don't care about your opinion.
@@erikgutierrezgueco5466 It's not an opinion though. Jamon Iberico not being an Italian Prosciutto is a fact. You might try and learn something new here today if you pay some attention.
I walked away as soon as i saw that coke can in shock glad i went bk and seen he dident do it lolol
Ive only had good caviar once but you can realllly taste the difference, jealous of the young man for that. Havent watched his reaction yet. Id be happy to be him
9:36 Here's something I've learned in many years of "adventurous eating"... If you're going to ever try ballut, start out with QUAIL ballut. The birds inside (and the eggs themselves) are muuuuch smaller and less intimidating. You can pop the whole thing in your mouth instantly without having to see that you bit through an underdeveloped embryo. You can kinda just eat the thing whole, take in the flavors, and not get that freak-out factor. Because if you can get past the idea that you're eating a whole dinosaur, they actually just kinda taste like a hardboiled egg with a bit of meat (and a tiny, barely discernible) flavor of organ meats (similar to veal liver). It's genuinely not bad. It's just the whole idea of eating a baby bird that makes it rather unappealing...
Very unique foods & video. Thanks
Hey bro hope your doing well, I love your videos man keep it up
Hi Max, loved the video. If you ever come to Spain I'll take you to eat Carabineros, Jamon Iberico and Percebes (the Spanish shrimp, "prosciutto", and barnacles you mentioned) at a couple of top tier places that will blow your mind!
The duck egg is called balut filipino street food you pair it with salt and spicy vinegar
This is bout to be another banger
Thank you for humanely dispatching the crab offscreen before boiling it!
One of the many things I appreciate about this guy
you got me with the thumbnail (lies) but delivered on the video. great variety of ingredients
Love This Video Thx Max You earned a subscriber and a like!
1:15 black pasta thats really common, we have it once in a while in my house here in Cantabria (North of Spain) mixed with slightly spicy oil, fried tiny shrimp (camarones), and gulas (fish paste baby eel imitation), its delicious.
ok i can sleep peacefully since there isnt anything racist against the black pasta
You calling “prosciutto” to Jamón Ibérico really says a lot……..
I used to be a forensic pathologist when I worked at the stock market. During the gut slide, I used to try and guess the person's financial income based on what was in their stomach (this would usually only be fun for an accidental death as terminal death stomachs were almost always identical). Your gut slide would have been completely jarring to me. However, in hindsight, if they were all actually eaten around the same hour, I'd like to think I would have guessed "food taster".
the contrast is great. Max: *says some fancy and smart stuff* Thomas: *salty*
Fun video but had to fast forward past the fertilized duck egg - absolutely revolting
Gay lmao
As a Filipino kid growing up, and eating the duck eggs, I'm proud lol. It's called "Balut". Personally, I love it lol, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
OHH YEAH ITS DELICIOUS
You’re a monster 🤮
indians and filipinos in competition for grossest street food
Actually, thats so weird ngl
@@Aceliiousnot really, people eat the duck before and after, this is just in between and not really any different
Dude, you f**ked me up when you pulled the cat out! 😂😂
Thomas is off the scale the greatest sport in this video!! Awesome lad!! 🙌👍
Hey..black pasta needs love too 🥺
nope gotta hate it
It needs love
all my asian brothers getting excited at 12:28 😂
😂
Great video. A couple of those are foods that have been on my wish list for a bit. Also not to be that guy, ,but geoduck is pronounced GOO-ee-duk. Looking forward to the slab jerky.
Black pasta jojo reference
Pizza! Mozzarella!
Was gonna say that lmaoo
Thought of Joseph immediately! 🔥🔥🔥
Nigerundayo
My brain is so bad, I instantly thought of something else when I saw the geoducks.
10:25 "but mine has feathers on it" I literally died laughing
Woaw, what a video !! Thanks!
10:37 fetus feaster
I feel so bad for the little baby duck😢
If you eat meat your an Hypocrite
Thank you for featuring 2 of the traditionally Filipino delicacies, the dreaded Balut, and the heiloom Asin Tibuok.
Appreciate the note about keeping an open mind about new foods! Definitely not something I could scarf down, but it was cool to take a moment and learn about other cultures :D

The second i heard that coke pop with that whiskey. My stomach is still lodged in my throat like i just fell off a cliff. Thanks Max😂
Please make Beef Carpaccio! (It’s paper-thin raw sliced beef tenderloin served with arugula, sardine mustard, seasoned crackers, capers, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and Salt/Pepper)
why was "BLUE RASPBERRY LOBSTER" the first thing i thought of when i saw the thumbnail😭
how should i know
@@Oggifn idk, just know
@@TheTheorizingFrog idk
My boy intern coming with the hard questions lol is it 10 times better!!!!
Thomas eaiting that Balut like a champ!
Please just keep doing these type of videos, we already lost Nick…
Wdym
@@BattleCatsEnthusiast its been a while since I’ve seen nick actually cook anything, a lot of his new videos follow a Mr.Beast style formula, would be refreshing to see him use his chef skills again
@@f22raptor37 Oh, true
Oh my ancestors are crying. That’s not how you cut prosciutto
🇪🇦 Jamón
@@IberianCraftsman😀
New viewer here. Enjoyed the video, definitely gonna check out more from you!
I ordered 7 bags! I sure hope its worth it! I cannot wait! I love jerky!
Is that a jojo reference???
hey Max excellent video bud!
The intern handled everything in the most mature way 😂 when I smell some nasty food I always got something to say
Absolutely loved the video and loved Thomas. It's great having a non-chef demystify these obviously overrated foods by just wolfing down on the best caviar in the world and just being like "whatever"
This was a fun cool video Max!
I give you props for trying the balut!
There is a rarer steak than kobe beef it's dry aged kobe beef
Max saying "geo-duk" like it's a fuggin Pokemon... 🤣
Totally agree about the panetone. A good one can still be less than $10.
The giant shell fish is called Geoduck, the proper pronunciation is goo e duck. We used to hunt them for free on the beaches in the spring and fall months here in Washington when we were kids. The syphon would stick out of the sand on low tides and my brother and I would hunt them together. One person would grab the syphon and hold on for dear life as the other dug up the sand like a mad man. It was so fun. Great memories. 😊
I just receive the slab jerky and OMG. It’s really good along with the stick.
this guy is great! and Max is ok ;)
Max in the calmest voice known to man: we’re going to suffer through this a little more but onto the next one
Your intern is awesome.
“gotta do a lil bump here” brought me some ptsd😂
im here for the intern!!!! way to go bro
So dope! Great video.
Great vid new sub 👍🏾
dude that intern was awesome bring him on more
9:18 that is Balot here in Philippines, it is a common street food here.
Hi Thomas! You were pretty brave to try all those foods!!!!
When i saw the shellfish….. Do i even need to say more
9:00 really made me hungry, an amazing Filipino treat balut just test amazing and you could add salt and vinegar to it!
This is my first time watching this channel and I saw the cat statue in the back on one of the first cuts. I was so surprised by how real it looked... then it moved. 😅
Not me screamed 'NO!!' when he's about to add that coke into the expensive whiskey
9:50 Duck eggs are delicacies in the Philippines, eating it with salt and vinegar is the way to eat it
Max won me over with that bump line lol
the little guy at the end is ADORABLE!!!!!
One guy is a badass and the other is cheerful. Nice duo
1:20 that cat in the background made my day
