International Soup Taste Test

We're tasting soups from around the world. Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Yeah, we're about to taste some soups from around the world, but first, this portion of today's episode. is sponsored by Oura, creator of Oura Ring, the revolutionary smart ring that we wear on our fingers. Yes, we do. Now, we're not always just throwing darts at maps.

Sometimes we are actually moving across those maps. Uh, meaning we're traveling. Yeah, yeah. Right, we're traveling. And sometimes one of us might, you know, sleeping while he is at the hotel and then not respond to any text in order. to get to the shuttle and then be required to have Jenna go up and knock on his door, and then when there's no response, have Jenna have to call security to see if security can break the door down in order to get this man and get. him on the shuttle so we can get to the airport on time. I don't know who this man he's talking about is, but I will say that the security.

guard didn't show up at the right door. Okay, it was the security guard's fault. And listen, I was just making sure that my readiness score was high enough. Ah. That I was ready for the day by having enough sleep. Right. Yes, that's right, 'cause it's important to know if you've recovered enough. You know, to make the most of your trip. Yes.

And now it's slurping time. Yep, because we are officially in soup season. Mm-hmm. And we're kicking off our last week of season 28, yes, that's correct, by warming our insides, with soups from outside of the United States. It's time for Where in the World Do These International Soups Come From? Okay, boys to guess where today's international soups come from, you'll throw your darts at the. map and Chase these souped up cartographer will measure your darts to determine your points.

Souped up. Wow, you're looking pretty swol. That's right, I've been working out. Uh, do you guys like carrots? Yeah. I got some carrot soup. Sorry. One second. How about them carrots? You know, like that quote? Yeah. It's about apples. Mm-hmm. Glug, glug, glug, Glug, Glug. Well that man just took the top off of a real, uh, soup can. With my bare hands. With my man hands. Real soup. Yeah he did, Stevie go on.

Um, Link won last time? So he throws first, which means, Don't act so surprised Stevie. Oh. Of course. Okay. Uh, which means Rhett gets the advantage in the round of his choosing. I'll tell you about it when you pick it. We have some soup here that has different things. Lots of ingredients here. Avocado. This is a. Peppers, oh, beans. This is like a, is this a cheese? Oh, that is very creamy.

It's a chili. And what is this? Is it nutty? Is this tofu? And what is this thing? A dumpling. Oh my goodness. And what is this thing? Mm-hmm. There's so many things in this. I'm trying to think what's in the dumpling. This dumpling has gushy stuff in it. Is that chicken in the middle? Chicken in the middle? Does this soup have chicken in the middle? It is so interesting. It's very salty.

It's very creamy. It's got beans in it. It's very thick. I have to go first. Um hmm. And cilantro. I'm feeling like. And eggs. We got Papua, Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea. And what's the one on the other side in New Guinea? Is it Old Guinea? Half of that island is Old Guinea. Yeah. There's an earthiness to it.

There's, can you move your huge tricep so I can read South America? I'm so sorry. Ecuador, Argentina. I'm feeling like with the, the beans of it all, that there's something that we're more in like South America. I'm trying to go with what the base is. You can stew on it for a little bit. It tastes a little, nutty. A little chickpea. Crap, I hope this isn't like, shouldn't be Georgia. I'm gonna go for South America.

We got Argentina and Ecuador over there. I'm thinking, that's what I'm feeling. You're thinking that's what you're feeling? Mm-hmm. Hmm. Are you feeling what you're thinking? Yeah, I'm in touch with it all. But I'm gonna hedge my bet a little bit. Whoop. Not, I didn't mean to go that close to Portugal, but tell me where you think I'm wrong. Well, this is the most confusing thing I've ever put in my mouth, and I will say this thing that you thought.

was chicken and that I thought was chicken is fish. What? Now that I went back into it. Are you serious? It's just that the soup part is so flavorful. I couldn't differentiate between what meat that was. There's so many things that are throwing it in, like, with every new ingredient, it's. thrown to a different place on the map. You know what I mean? Like avocados, right? That's gotta be, um, I don't know, maybe Ecuador's the right place, right call.

I don't know. And because you, you've got these chilis, which these can be, uh, like a red jalapeno, they can also be a Thai chili. The boil, here's the thing, the boiled egg. The dumplings. I thought this was tofu over here, this, but it's cheese. And then this is almost like a yucc-, like a root kind of thing. Like it could be Ecuador and it could be Sri Lanka. Yeah. Go for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka.

Go for it. I think, I think I am gonna go for Sri Lanka. I think you should. Oh. What's gonna happen? Oh, pretty close. Okay. I thought for sure there was a point where you were eating things Rhett and then you just went quiet for a long. time and I was like, oh, he's not used to going second. He's trying to, to not share his knowledge. That's also true. Yeah. Well, you just had Fanesca, an elaborate soup traditionally served during Lent.

Its ingredients vary from plantains to full empanadas. Oh no, it is. But at its core. Ecuador. Are 12 different grains and legumes representing Jesus's 12 disciples and a salt cod representing Jesus himself. It's an indispinsable part of Good Friday lunches in. Ecuador. Ecuador. I should have gone harder with my answer and I should have gone to Ecuador instead of Sri Lanka.

All right, Link, you had 27. Rhett. 52. Ooh, that's a bad first round. I could have done you even dirtier. Yeah, you could have. Pretty. We have a deep, deep green thing happening here. With bread. With just bread, like sopping up the soup. And some eggs. Bread pieces. Hmm.

I mean, that is a cilantro soup. That tastes like dish detergent. Wow, I'm gonna blame the genes for that one. I know everybody doesn't have that. I don't think it's cilantro, Link. Do you have, do you have, it tastes like cilantro. It might be. Do you have the gene for nasty cilantro taste? That makes it taste like soap? Um. Because I'm telling you right now I'm tasting nothing but soap. I, um, I don't think I have it, but I can tell that people think it tastes like soap and I'm like,

oh, it kind of does tastes like soap, but then I still like it, so I don't know if it is or not. I mean, it's very one note, it's just that one taste. Then you got the blandness of the bread. You've got the egginess of the egg. You must like it. I do. I don't like it one bit. But who would do such a thing? See, I'm starting to feel, I don't know what Sri Lanka would have,

but it's so specifically, it could be Georgia. I'm actually feeling Sri Lanka for this, because, this is not sending me anywhere, and I don't know what they have. Right. But do you think what you're feeling? I'm feeling that I'm thinking it. And I'm winning, so I just need to, like. My therapist says that. Stick with my gut. Sometimes, he's like, I don't wanna know what you're thinking. I wanna know what you're feeling. And I'm like, but.

You have to think about it. I feel like I'm thinking something. Yeah. And I wanna tell you that right now. Yeah, don't do that. But what are you feeling? And where are you feeling it? Well, I'm thinking it in my head. Yeah, just start crying and. Uh, yeah, I usually make my therapist cry before I do. And they charge you more for that? Yeah. Yeah. For some reason it doubles up. Oh, that's close to Sri Lanka. You see how close I was? That's great for me. 'cause that's not the answer. What do you think the answer is? I don't know that the answer is not Sri Lanka.

You don't even think it's cilantro. To me, it tastes like chimichurri. It just tastes like a bunch of chimichurri all over bread. So I think Argentina. Well, that could be right. Does it not? And I thought that Chimichurri was parsley. Oh. But you said you tasted soap. Yeah, maybe it's just that they washed the dish. Um, I don't know. I'm gonna go with what I feel like I'm thinking. Go all the way down there. I am, I'm gonna completely commit to it because if I'm right, I could get, it could be good for me.

Yeah. The accuracy is off the charts. You just had Acorda, a bread soup made with garlic, cilantro, poached eggs, and cubed or sliced stale bread. This dish began as a way to limit food waste and has since grown into a staple of the national cuisine in Portugal. Ah, Portugal. Not Sri Lanka, but am I? I'm closer to Portugal to you, right.

All right. Things are coming up to a boil. Link has 27. Rhett. 34. Whoa. I'm stacking it up. You're not, you're not getting up to me. I'm stacking it up. You still there? You're not taking me. You know, it's pin day, that means all 12 pins of the month from this entire year are available today. I mean, look at all these. Look at all these pins. Look at all these pins. Look at all these pins. Oh my god.

We got so many pins. Including this, uh, pin of the month from this month. Which is two chilly guys. Look at that. Two chilly guys. I put, I put 'em on here making it look like they're kicking around snowballs. So is this your chance to get any of the pins that they missed? Is that what's happening? Yeah, that's, you know, maybe you didn't keep up. Maybe you missed one. You can get one or all of them today. Only. Okay. Where? Mythical.com. And what on earth would they put 'em in, you know, to carry all of those pins?

Oh no, it's been there the whole time. A lanyard. It's a lanyard. It's it, it it, it has a hook down here for your identification. Your badge, your badge, your badge. Your badge, and then up here you have all of these pins on your lanyard. Mythical.com. Wow. It's a special day. You've been waiting for it. Uh, Link, we have a cold soup here. I'm just gonna give you a little warning. Thank you for the warning. It looks like there's a lot of dill in it.

Good gracious. This is a thick. A lot of dill and some nuts and some yogurt. And pickles. Wa-walnuts? Hmm? Wall knots? Hmm. Pickles. That's good. Hmm. I like that a lot. That is weird. Any tomatoes? No tomatoes. No tomatoes. How about these tomatoes?

Look at that. He's ripping a can right in half. And he is drinking right from the right, from the can. Right, right, and he's crushing it, crush he crushing it against his hands and his head. And then he does body weight squats. I mean, this tastes like the, the, the yogurt dip at the Mediterranean restaurant. It does, Link. Come on now. Uh, yeah, stay right there. Stay right there, 'cause I, I can see through your hand and bicep Bulgaria, and that's what I'm aiming for.

How'd you know I call it Bulgaria? This is my Bulgaria and this is my Borscht. Oh, I thought you were, I thought you were saying this is my bulk area. A bulk. Oh, my bulk area. This is my bulk area. There you go. Run that back bulk area. I think I'm going for, uh, Bulgaria. What? Change it? To what? Who, who you listening to? To Georgia? Who you listening to. Change it to Georgia, 'cause you're reading the answer down there and it says Georgia.

Okay. It's close anyway, you know. Oh. I'm not gonna pull ahead in this round because I'm also throwing it at Georgia. Because, because I mean, that's what this is, right? A lot of people don't know this, I was born in Georgia. A oily wal-nutty mixture. To dip your little kebabs in. Yeah, it's, I mean, it's just, it's got so many influences from that part of the world.

How can it not be either Bulgaria or Georgia? I'm down by so much. I'm gonna, basically, I'm gonna have to just get close to the right answer and then use my cheat on. the last one and hope I can make up 30 centimeters. Okay. That's the only strategy I got here. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, okay, can I do one with the, you looking at me like that? Little low. Like that, okay, there we that, that one counts.

No. I'm gonna call interference. You can't, look, you can't put your face in somebody's face at the last second like that. That's illegal. You can't do that. You don't look at me when I'm throwing? I don't get in your face right, right on your face. I was just looking at you. I was here. No, you turned and you moved your head in a little bit. Let the judge let it, let the record show. You know, you know. Let the record show, that's what they call, um, a distraction. I'm gonna chicken a noodle on it and I'll let you know. That's another soup pun. You just had Tarator, a cold soup made with yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, and fresh dill among other spices.

It's meant to be served cold, making it just the right treat for summer days in Bulgaria. Bulgaria. I nailed it. You tried to change my mind. Ha. All right, Link, you had 5. Rhett, either 7 or 10. Mm. I think I'm willing to give you seven. Oh. Okay. Fine. I mean, be, be smart about this because I mean, gonna be, you're gonna be up by a lot regardless, you know.

I, I'll give it to you. Okay. I looked at you. Okay, yep. When you were throwing. Mm-hmm. Wow. Big old meatballs. Lookie there. That is the biggest of meatballs. What is that? It, it's, uh, oh God. I think it's, uh, it's like a matzo ball. No. Is it? I don't know, I'm gonna isolate it.

Well, it's spicy. It's spicy and there's chickpeas. There's meat in the middle of this, um, ball of some sort of dough. It's quite good. It's very meaty. And then these are little pieces of the same thing that the meatball's made of. Chickpeas. You know, mini meatballs. Spice. Woo, this is good and very unique.

I've definitely never had it. I know you're gonna use your advantage, whatever it is. I am. I'm still having to go first. It's anything on the board. I wonder if this meat is not beef, but something else. And then there's ground, the ground beef is beef. The chunky beef is also beef.

Do you feel that or think it? I feel that I'm thinking it. Could be anywhere. Then I think you feel it. I just, and nothing's jumping out at me. Well, chickpeas make hummus. Hummus is from the middle of our map. But I'm gonna go a little bit east. I feel like this is Eastern European vibes. And I'll be, well, I went there.

Okay. I don't think it's Russian, but. I'm down by 64 centimeters. No, 34 centimeters, which means that if I go for the middle, it does me no good. I'm gonna do, first of all, I need my cheat. What's, what do I cheat? What am I, what do I cheat? Your cheat is the soup sling, which is a cool name for, basically you can take your spoon and take. a scoop of soup and then throw it at the board.

Oh, this soup. Yeah, that soup. Okay. Uh, all right, so I'll work that out in a second. I'm gonna pick up some detritus and, uh, liquid. Okay. But where am I gonna go? Am I gonna go west of your dart or east of your dart? Well, there's more space west of your dart, but the only way that that could work is if it's somewhere. in Central or South America, which really doesn't make a lot of sense based on what I just ate. Yeah. Chickpeas. I don't know. Maybe it is over there. I think it's somewhere, I think it's pretty close to your, somewhere in your dart is.

where I would guess if I was just guessing. Okay. That's what I did though. The dumpling nature of this, like the matzo ball nature of this doesn't feel very, like, Asian. So I'm gonna say that. I'm gonna hope I get lucky in that it's somewhere in South America, but, okay. Hold on. I gotta, let me get a little bit closer. And what do you. I'm, I'm gonna, I don't want any of this on me. Let me, let me, uh. Let me just prepare here.

Here. That's a good soup though, so. Okay. Whatever you don't sling, we're gonna eat. Okay. Right. Okay. Wow. Is this where you usually sit? I'm not that close, no. Wow. So close. Um, okay. Um. Oh, see you went way west. Yeah, way west. But I covered, I covered South America and Central America, so maybe I'll get lucky.

Maybe I'll get lucky. You just had Anali Kizli. That doesn't sound. A soup made with tomato, chickpeas and meatballs coated in bulgar wheat. Its name literally translates to with daughters and mothers and was inspired by the different size balls floating in it. The smaller chickpeas being the daughters and the bigger meatballs being the mothers. Right? The soup is enjoyed by mothers and daughters and fathers and sons alike, in.

Turkiye. Yeah. I was so close. Yep. You guys seen my measuring tape? Uh, I, don't worry. I just. That's, that's not his measuring tape. That's just a can of vegetable soup. Oh no. It had the measuring. Oh, oh, oh yeah, it was in his can. It was in his can the whole time. Is there any of your splatter close to me? I don't think it really matters. Yeah, right, you kind of let this one simmer.

Link, you had 7. Rhett, 28. Ooh Rhett. Yep. It's a rough day. I hate to tell you, but I am mounting a trend here. That would be two in a row for the Linkster. Wow. On the darts. And to celebrate Link, uh, you will be musically and soup-ly serenaded in Good Mythical More. Thank you for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. Hi, it's Colleen.
