Will It Enchilada? Taste Test

Today, we ask the age old question. Will it enchilada? Let's talk about that. Good. Mythical Morning. And. You didn't make the announcement first. And that was for the whole week. Okay. Yeah.

Today marks the tenth anniversary. of the first. ever. Will It. What is that? a Push Pop? Ten years. Boy. Boy, that was. amazing. We need the dangerous ones back. Okay, technically, yesterday. was the actual ten year anniversary, but,

daddy, don't get out of bed on Sunday. The first ever Will It was. Will It Taco? Released on May fifth, twenty fourteen. Here we are, a decade later. One hundred and twenty-three episodes of Will It later. A whole freaking Mythical Kitchen later. And what have we learned? Well, I've learned that pig anuses will never, ever will anything. And. sometimes all you really need is a pickle in the middle of a burger. that's covered in chocolate. Wise words. Wise words. Shall we embark upon a brand new decade of Will It discoveries?

Let's. It's time for. Will. It. Enchilada? For the uninitiated, an enchilada is a tortilla rolled around a filling, covered with sauce, and usually baked. Thank you, Rhett, for saying that. Speaking of rolled, you ever seen a panda roll down a hill? Oh, yeah. It's. Oh, my gosh, it's the cutest thing. They're so clumsy, those rascals. What about a panda rolled into a tasty tortilla? Hey, hey, hold. Not a real panda.

Panda Express. Presenting. the. Cómo Se Panda. Nicole, what did you do? Well, gentlemen, for you today, we have a soy sauce infused. tortilla. And then I took the three best entrees from Panda Express. Orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and beef and broccoli, topped it all up, shoved it in there, cooked it with some cheese and some orange chicken sauce, then slathered on some sweet chili sauce and some crispy noodles.

What? So. I mean, if you wanted to get everything, this would be the way. It's pretty egg rolly in a way. Like, that's. That's where my mind goes, is, why not? Why not do this? I mean, there's no cheese at. Panda Express. There is no cheese. That was the Mythical Kitchen. And. you love Panda Express. You and Josh are talking about on your podcast. What in the world?

Why do you all love Panda Express so much? What's not to love? Wait, why don't you love it? Yeah. It's sugary, meaty, delicious, fast, easy. It's hit or miss big time for me. What about in an airport? Oh, my God. That's airport food. I totally agree. Yeah. It's so reliable. I mean, we're. Soy sauce infuse. That's good, though. I will tell you, you did not miss with this one.

So, you just put all three. into each one? Yeah, I chopped it up. You know that, like, chopped salad trend on the TikTok? Yeah. I basically chopped it all up, but there's no salad. Everything relates to TikTok. Are you telling me you've never had bad Panda Express? Never, ever in my. That's impossible. No. Why would I lie? It depends on what time of day you go. And if they're. If they. traded the tray out.

You had some old rice? What happened? I don't know. I feel like you need to talk to somebody about this. I feel like I need to not like this, because I've talked so much trash, but I think that. This is amazing. This is really, really, really good. No bones about it. It's easy. Panda Express. Will it enchilada? Yes. This is not a joke. This is real. Have you heard this? A young man named Kool-Aid McKinstry. was just drafted into the NFL. This is not a joke? It's not the Key and Peele sketch. Kool-Aid McKinstry.

So in the honor of being the best sports name I've ever heard, we give you. Oh, Yeah Enchilada. Now what? I would have busted through a wall. What's the difference between the Kool-Aid Man and. the Macho Man in the oh, yes? They're very close. Can you give me? Give me. Oh, yeah. Is more like Macho Man. He's more constipated. Oh, yeah. There's more of an oh. So, it's constipation versus excitement? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's it. Nicole, explain yourself.

Speaking of constipation. So for you, we have a Kool-Aid Enchilada, which is a red, blue, and purple tie-dye tortilla. filled with Kool-Aid gummies and popping candy, baked with a thickened cherry Kool-Aid sauce and topped with blue. Kool-Aid queso and a little bit of pink lemonade Kool-Aid crema. Kool-Aid queso? Yeah. You're not joking about Kool-Aid McKinstry? No, dude, I'm surprised you didn't. Is it a nickname, or is it a real name? Is it a BC, meaning birth certificate?

I didn't ask for the birth certificate, but I think that. I think that we should. GMM investigates Kool-Aid McKinstry. A return to relevance. It's kind of a Fruit Roll-Up experience. It's all the melted candies. It's a little spicy. You know what it tastes like? What's that tamarind candy? Tamarindo? Yeah. Yeah, I love that stuff. That's the vibe.

Yeah. In the enchilada sauce, there is some guajillo chilies in there, so. makes sense. It's so candified that if you didn't tell me it was an enchilada. I wouldn't have known it. You would just think it was a Fruit Roll-Up of some kind? And then if somebody was like, but technically, it has the form of enchilada, you would be like, yeah. And then if I said it, you would be like, what did you say? And I would say, enchilada. And you would say, say that again. I would say enchilada. And you would say enchilada, like, with an I? And then you would say, it's enchilada. And then I would say, technically, it's enchilada.

If you want to get really technical about it. What is it? Technically? Technically? I say enchilada. There you go. That's just me, though. She's with me. Well, this is none of that, Nicole. It's fun, but. if you put it in a candy wrapper and you called it, like, Kool-Aid enchilada, it would still be candy first. And I think that's why this one is broken. Oh, wow. You're. It became candy first. It's no longer. an enchilada. I don't want it in a dish. I want it.

in a packaging. Okay, well, take it away, Link. Kool-Aid. Will it enchilada? No. Couldn't help but notice your cool shirt, Rhett. Desk made of wood. Ship made of wood. GMM set in a bottle tee. Pretty cool, huh? Get one at mythical. com. That's where I got mine. Technically, it was just handed to me. Yeah. Yeah. We're a lot closer to the source. The history of the enchilada traces all the way back to the Aztec Empire,

and the more modern version of the dish first emerged in Mexico City. Sure. You know that the absolute furthest geographical location possible. from Mexico City is, say it with me. Indonesia. You didn't know that? Indonesia. Indonesia. Davin didn't even say that. He's from Indonesia. Emphasis on the "ia" at the end. Okay. So, let's finally bridge that epic gap.

This is the. Jakarta-lada. You've been making some big enchiladas today, larger than life. What did you do? All right, so. I made. a belacan tortilla, which is a fermented shrimp paste tortilla, and I filled it with nasi goreng, which is an Indonesian fried rice with chicken, some. shredded beef rendang, which is a coconutty braised beef. Really delicious. Topped with a gulai ayam sauce, which is a yellow chicken curry sauce. topped with three different sambals.

Cucumber and cilantro. Three different sambals? It is quite spicy. Sambals? Sambals, which is kind of like a, I would describe it as a chili paste. This has got sambals on it. Three sambals. You got to pull up some balls. How come Davin hadn't told us about this? Yeah, Davin, tell them why. I didn't even know this exists. I didn't even know it was geographically the furthest from Mexico City. I don't know if it is, actually. I think they just wrote it that way, cause it was cute.

I don't know. Maybe it is true. Here's the thing, Davin. Ooh, that's spicy. You know, we have that Third Mouth. We could, we could let Davin have, like, a little cultural experience. Oh, my God. A little taste of home, please. Well, this is it, homie, so. Wait, wait, wait. Let's not. If he has this, he might miss out on whatever is in the last round. That's what I'm thinking. Which could be better than this. We wouldn't want to do that, Davin. This is so good. We're just going to keep eating this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's bring him in for the last round, because. they usually get better as we go. Honestly, I didn't, I don't have enough familiarity with the specifics of what you said, but it doesn't matter because. It's so good. It tastes so. I want more of it. Indonesian. Are you sure you guys don't want that Third Mouth? Yeah. If only Davin could vouch for how Indonesian this tastes.

Yeah. Well, maybe another day. Indonesian food. Will it enchilada? Yes. Not only is this a momentous occasion for Will Its today, but it's also an incredibly big time for the large flying. insect known as the cicada. Yes. There's the great southern brood that emerges every thirteen. years and the northern Illinois brood that emerges every seventeen. years. My favorite broods. But starting this month, for the first time in centuries, both broods are emerging at the same time.

And to celebrate, we give you. Cicada-chilada. That is beautiful, Nicole. So, apparently you got a couple of the early. risers already, huh? Yeah, they had a ton of them on Etsy. com. I just went for it. Oh, gosh. Yeah, cause. you'll find them sticking to trees. This is just the husk. This is the husk. I prefer exoskeleton, but. Okay. Okay. Tomato. Tomato. There's hair too. What?

What's on the inside? With cicadas, I also added a little bit of pork. Oh, you did? I had to. Those exoskeletons and the cicadas weren't really all that meaty. So, I needed something to put in there. Cicadas with a little pork. I don't know how much that's gonna help. It's not. Not even a little bit. But listen, this is a big moment. Cause if this works, then the approximate. one trillion cicadas that will be emerging over the. next few weeks and months.

could make a lot of enchiladas for you and your family. Okay. If we like it, maybe you'll like it. Yeah, and we might. So, we gotta get at least one full exoskeleton. on top of. I got one hanging on. Look, he's hanging on. He came along for the ride. Look at that. It looks like it's gonna be crunchy. Have we not eaten one of these before on the show? I don't think so. You have. I think we have. Oh. Oh, it fell.

I'm sorry. Cicada Pop-Tart. Will it Pop-Tart? Dink it. And sink it. It's got that familiar. Oh, it looked like it was alive. It's incredibly nutty. Exoskeletony taste. It's incredibly nutty. Are there nuts in here? Just cicadas. and pork. Like, I've had a lot of insects and.

had a lot of sex too. Hell yeah. And this is by far the best one I've ever had. The look on your face is a disappointment, but. I'm still afraid. to actually. allow my body. to take it down. Allow your body. I mean, I'm just saying. Spiders are bad. Crickets are okay, I got it down. Scorpions are awful.

These are not bad. You know what? You know who would love this? I don't know, who would love this? Davin. Guys. I mean. That looks. Come on, get down here at it. Take a good look, and then just. look at that. Make yourself a bite. Smell it out. Smell it out. The exoskeleton is not bad. It's not bad. You know how colorful the Indonesian food enchilada was?

This is like. what came out after in the toilet. That Indonesian enchilada was so good. Nicole knew to have me taste it. Make sure you get a little. hard one on there. There you go. Well, hold on. I mean, we each had to. had to eat one, so I think he should eat one in honor of both of us. It's a big celebration. You want me to eat two enchiladas? Two cicadas? That part's really, really good. That is just, that's like dead skin.

Oh, my God. Exoskeleton. Okay. Think what you'll tell the people back home. Oh, you fell off. I don't think we have cicadas in Indonesia. Well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so nutty, right? Just give him a minute. Give him a minute. Hey, we need to make it seem like it's great because. It's so nutty. Such an opportunity to. be picking these things up off the ground. It is nutty. It's so nutty.

I think. Where are you guys getting this nuttiness from? It's probably protein. The cicadas, I believe. It's crunchy. It's got a nice. earthy texture to it. It might be the best tasting insect I've ever had. Yeah, you've definitely won me over, Rhett, I think some sambal on this would be good. Yeah, well, you can get some from the other plate. I feel bad about it. I think he can only eat off of this plate. Yeah, off camera, he can do what he wants. What are you gonna do?

You gonna clamp down? You're gonna keep him from eating the other one? It looks like a. You love to eat stuff off camera. I do. I really do. Yeah. I mooch off a lot of stuff after you guys eat them. It looks like a dead log. It looks so much worse than it tastes. See? Yeah. Okay. Are we all in. agreement? Yeah, I think we are. For the people? Cicada. Will it enchilada? Yes! it did. There you go. That's what you can do with those annoying and loud insects all over your. You can eat them with pork. Woods.
