Josh’s constant disdain for Erewhon is thoroughly enjoyable
commenting for the europeans to save you a google Erewhon is a supermarket chain
He's right though. It's the kind of store that gets off on just being seen as elite and fancy. Everything is overpriced and no one should be shopping there. I definitely believe in paying premium for good quality foods, but their prices are not worth it
@@siobhan-rae Thanks for the explanation. I live in the hillbilly part of Virginia and I've never heard of it before until I read some of the Mythical Kitchen comments asking Josh to do a showdown between them and a cheaper grocery store.
That's all I'm here for.
I guess the cooking also.
@@dakineprotoss that was not punching down he said they could be in a romance novel. Also who cares it was a joke. they are farms million+ dollar companies punching down would be if he made fun of you.
oh man, now we need a budget dinner cook off. 10 bucks any store you want. dinner for two. no prepacked meals.
Is pasta allowed or would that be considered cheating? I took it as a personal challenge 😂
@@olivianeagoie280 I'd say do pasta if it's not the usual red sauce or alfredo, that's more of a challenge!
Honestly that's a great idea, especially if they film the process
10 bucks at any store would result in maybe 4 ingredients 😂
Easy. Smoked Polish sausage, 2 potatoes, small green cabbage. Broil sausage, steam cabbage, boil potatoes. Serve veggies with butter, sausage with spicy brown mustard.
Josh calling the crew fascist for making him wash his hands absolutely kills me lol. He'd have gotten the salt shaker all slimy otherwise...
Why does Josh have the energy of an opossum that got the Captain America treatment
it’s like guardians the galaxy meets the boys?
Weirdly enough, that sort of sounds like one of my fictional characters.
Damn he do tho
He's like a raccoon king garbageman
@@piperformerlycassette well it would make sense, seeing as how he is part raccoon, as he said so himself.
I'm not a divorced dad, but I have been a victim of omelette failure. It's like "welp, I guess we're having scrambled eggs" 9 times out of 10 😂😂😂
The only way I know to make an omelet every single time is to use a tortilla Nadiya style
I use a mix of butter and oil on my nonstick pan to create a kind of separation between the egg and the pan. There’s a great tutorial on RUclips, I don’t remember the name but if you search how to make a scrambled egg, there’s an older gentleman that made a vid. Also cover your pan when cooking to lock in the moisture 😊
I'm not especially sure what it is, but I use a good amount of oil or a good amount of butter, low heat, but hot enough that when the eggs hit the pan they sizzle a little, then don't touch it until it's mostly solidified. I almost never have it stick to the pan that way.
Omelettes are just scrambled eggs that don't need therapy
Fun fact colorful eggs are colorful just because the chicken laying them is a different breed. It doesn't signify that the eggs are more healthy or whatever
I had a neighbor in Florida who raised chickens. They had 3 that laid blue eggs, two that laid brown eggs, and the rest laid white eggs. Their daughter called them Easter Chickens!
I came here to look for this kind of comment as no company is wasting their time dying eggs LOL Fun breeds of chickens lay fun colors! I could probably buy 4 chickens that would lay hundreds of blue or green eggs for the same price Erewhon charges for a dozen🤣🤣
You're thinking of the shell colour. Yolk colour is influenced by diet. A better diet generally gives a more coloured yolk, but you can also 'fake' it by feeding the chicken dyes or foods high in carotenoids.
@@Magmafrost13 but they had green and blue eggs and josh said that they dye them. The quality comment I dropped was only referring to the fact that the bougie store had colorful eggs and normal stores have white and brown eggs.
Youre totally right about the yolk :)
@@Magmafrost13 Josh was talking about shell color
Two things:
1. Jordan's ability to recognize and describe food is so impressive. Like I'm pretty sure Josh was smiling when she named Velveeta because she was correct. Just such a discerning palette.
2. PLEASE get Serj Tankien on Last Meals. I would watch that in a heartbeat. Those are two worlds I never would have put together, but I'd be so happy that it happened.
I love Jordan. They genuinely never fail to make me laugh
The cheese was Kraft american slices, but yeah she's incredibly versed and probably the best choice for spork'd
A palette is for painting, a palate is for tasting. I agree she's really good though 👍
Hilarious that just a few months later Serj was on last meals
i desperately want there to be a little fact-check box that confirms or denies whatever josh says, and also answers all the question he asks so i can also know what happens to the avocadoes
Avocado oil is made from the pit of the avocado so in all likelihood the rest of it is sold as ready made guacamole
Almost like how Brad’s editing used to be on BA Test Kitchen before that ship sank
They peal the avocados and remove the pit. Spread the edible part and dehydrate it the use a press to squeeze the oil out
😢😂
The controversy during the time that avocado oil was using other types of oil as "filler" for lower quality products. At the lower end it was nearly entirely just canola oil.
I have "pet" chickens, they definitely show emotional range, but it's more of the difference between being content vs being stressed. They also are intelligent, one day I didn't realize their water was empty and the alpha hen grabbed my clothing with her beak and tried to pull me to the coop when I was walking away, she was trying to show me they needed water. I was really impressed and that changed how I saw them even after years of already having them.
Saaaammmmmme.
Our chickens when they were alive were pretty tame. There was always 1 little chicken that guarded the eggs and others just free roamed. They also were very vocal if there was no water since, we lived in Colo and its super dry on summers. They all passed away a few yrs ago after I moved out of state and I really do miss them.
I think was surprised me most about this comment was learning that chickens have alphas
@@KirbyCom I'm pretty sure the term "pecking order" comes from chickens. There is one that's in charge of the rest.
@@EK-xz8ig We owned Rhode Island Reds and if you introduce new hens into the coop the older hens will attempt to assert their dominance by pecking at them and such. They eventually got along, but it worried me at first.
Our hens were for eggs only. We didn't eat any of them.
Yeah I raised birds from egg to grave and they never failed to astound me and bring me joy!
Gotta love that Josh and the team go through such painstaking testing with Myth Munchers only for them to incorporate none of their findings whatsoever.
When Josh said the eggs from erehwon were $14 for a dozen I felt my soul die a little bit
Not to mention the $8 QUART of milk, like holy moly
It's a easy trick to scam rich people out of their money. The rich are so gullible.
i remember paying 7$ a dozen during the chicken flu epidemic last year in iowa, my family runs a resturant and uses about 60-100 dozen a week.
we now get them in the 5 dozen boxes at wallmart for 6.50$
its absurd how high it got last year.
josh rambling and making both dishes side by side at the same time is something only him and a mother with more then 3 kids can achieve, very impressive 😂
Or literally any Cook that's worked at a busy restaurant for more than 6 months.
I love these videos; they really do actually help me decide what ingredients are worth spending more $$$ on versus which I can just get the cheap versions! This episode is maybe a bit more of an extreme than I can access in my part of the country, but still good!
I would love a Serj Tankian last meal episode
Why???
@@vincedibona4687 because serj tankian is a very interesting dude
@@vincedibona4687Why not?
It'd be in a similar vein as to when Jason Kelce was on, Josh just fangirling while asking questions.
It NEEDS to happen
It would be ketchup...on a table.
I feel like Josh is manifesting that Serj come onto the show. This is not his first SOAD reference and honestly I’m here for it 👏🏽✨
They could do last meals. Serj's would probably be breakfast, seeing as you need to wake up for it to take place. Or for all I know, the man might just eat spiders and sugar.
@@Jopeymessmusic And apparently he likes Kombucha. The Kombucha Mushroom People would be pleased.
@@Jopeymessmusic Or a pizza pie with Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olive, chives.
@@Jopeymessmusic soad good soad good
Serj on last meals would be so awesome
Seeing Josh take a shot of maple syrup unlocked a memory for me, last time my mother in law moved my brother in law and I were the only ones moving her. In August. In Kentucky. In 100 degree weather. For 9 hours straight. With nothing to eat. Only water to drink. I started having sporadic black outs. Thinking maybe my blood sugar was bottomed out I started sifting through the groceries she had already set up at her new place. Which I found a bottle of pancake syrup and proceeded to chug the majority of it. Honestly it made me feel amazing. Life is weird sometimes. 😂
josh be out here wielding tongs like mr krabs and my little adhd heart has never been happier
Egg shells can have varying colours depending on what breed the hens are and what they eat. My brother's hens lay light green and pale pink eggs regularly. The more you know Josh. ;)
Yeah so it's the same concept as "dyed" salmon. They get their color from eating food with certain pigments.
I’m almost certain he knows that lol, he was just kidding. I don’t think he genuinely thinks they’re dying eggs lol
@@Ryan-bj2vl no
@@vivakatrob13 Everyone else may not know. 🙂
@@Ryan-bj2vl no. Its just based on breed. Robins don't have cute lil speckled eggs because they eat dyes and pigments. Emus don't have black eggs because of dyes and pigments. Different birds just have different eggs.
both Josh and Jordan’s insistence that cheap foods are often times better or more enjoyable is weirdly very comforting. as a broke college kid that just moved into my first place and is struggling to effectively cook between little time and budget, it’s nice to hear from people with plenty of qualifications that money and time aren’t really paramount to feeding yourself well (:
an all-Kirkland brand episode would be really interesting!!
The fact Serj actually went on Last Meals WOOOO ❤
My wife and I had breakfast for dinner at our wedding. Omelet station, bloody marys, breakfast stout, syrup fountain, and all the foods that are breakfast hits.
Omg, that sounds amazing!!!😍😍
If my parents had done that it would have been either a) cold pizza and beer or b) liver and hash browns.
Josh: "Shout out Serj Tankian, come on last meals."
Serj: "Bet."
I'd be WAY into Serj Tankian being a guest on Last Meals. I hope he's into the idea, he always seems like a really cool and insightful guy and I absolutely love System of a Down. Toxicity was the first album I ever owned and it remains one of my faves.
Josh's energy in this episode makes me want to give him a hug. Ay, Pobrecito. Todo estará bien.
Sometimes I wonder if Josh has ever taken a food safety course/worked in a restaurant cause he’s a health inspection nightmare.
One thing I love about Mythical Kitchen is none of them are food snobs. Jordan is wonderful and when it comes to pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc I completely agree that the artificial stuff is better.
I highly disagree.
It's not artificial, it just *isn't* maple syrup. Usually corn syrup.
@@bcaye corn syrup is artificial 💀
@@Dex-Mann, no, it's not. It's made from corn starch. High fructose corn syrup is more processed, but it still comes from a natural ingredient, corn. If you define artificial as more processed, there are quite a few things that have to be done to maple sap to make it syrup.
@@bcayethat’s a huge lie about maple syrup. All you do is boil the water out of it. The tree has natural sugars. Which is why it freezes. I’ve made it many times.
Damn never thought I'd hear Josh shout out my people in a video 😭😭 the Kurds love you too Josh lol
“It was Canadians so they don’t count”. Don’t think we didn’t catch that, Josh! 🇨🇦
The energy. Keep doing it. Brother from another mother. You are a living example of him. Never stop! Always enjoy these
Growing up Syrup was actually often too expensive for us most the time so my mom would use unsweetened applesauce which we would often get from food pantry. Once we started to get a bit more financially stable we would be able to get syrup more often and even when we got it I always preferred the unsweetened applesauce. Looking at this video I can't help but crave those blueberry pancakes with applesauce.
I totally agree with josh there’s no difference in the colorful eggs from brown or white eggs, but I actually own two chickens that make those eggs and they are called Easter egger chickens. Quite fitting for the dyed look they have
Yes! Even ducks lay colorful eggs like that 😁
Looks like that syrup shot kicked in right at the conclusion 🥃
1:41 Josh tells Serj to come on last meals
It actually happened.
Serj on last meals would be insane!
100%
And I bet he would do it if asked
@@RockyP77 Not just because I'm a fan of his either but he's a really smart guy and I bet the conversation would be amazing
josh finally got his Last Meals wish
love this series, I thind It'd be cool to have a video of the kitcheners shopping and there reactions to the prices at both places. A cool little addition.
1:35
The Kombucha mushroom people
Sitting around all day
Just goes to show budget stores aren't doing stuff like putting sawdust in their spice bottles to save money, they just get it from less expensive sources and don't have to charge to maintain their name brand. Same with store brand vs "fancy" brand in most things.
When he said to fold in the cheese, all I could think of was Schitt's Creek! Anyone else? 🤣
I love the Sims 3 soundtrack playing in the background ❤😂 17:43
It's not a dad scramble until you fold the eggs, bacon and potatoes into a pancake. Making a sad breakfast taco.
that dont sound sad tho that sounds awsome imo breakfest taco vibes
Anything your dad cooks for you shouldn't be sad. I STILL make my oldest daughter the same egg roulade I made her as a baby, and she's 21!
That's exactly what I did for breakfast this morning. Bonus points for using a microwave and not a pan.
Fun fact a year later he was on Last Meals
My parents used to always get American cheese from the deli when we got the meats and other cheeses. We never had the Kraft singles. Thanks for pointing out the differences. There is a HUGE difference.
Josh always makes me feel better about poor/lazy cooking
Jordans ability to meet josh at his level is beautiful. I love Jordan so much!
I think there's a third option that needs to be included in this: A normal grocery store (Meijer/Kroger/Food Lion/Publix/etc.)
Serj Tankian on the Last Meals would be so amazing!!!! Josh, please make that happen, please, please
Josh, the eggs colors are real. Different chicken breeds make different shells. lol My chickens used to produce eggs in every one of those colors.
The only problem with pre-ground spices is that their flavor has a reduced flavor lifespan. However, if you aren't storing spices in your long term storage it really is no big deal. That said I do hand a manual pepper mill that I use all the time when cooking, I think pepper is one of the things that looses its flavor pretty fast on the shelf.
Fr reading the first part I was bout to comment about how I've never had good pre ground pepper
Watkins pepper is the best. It truly keeps it's pepperiness.
My grandma used to sell Watkins and she swore by the pepper, cinnamon, baking vanilla, chicken base and beef base.
Now they have a bunch of organic stuff too.
Yeah and a good pepper grinder only costs about $30-$40, I have one from Peugeot that I love
Not josh having to reassure he washes his hand after taking a dump🤣🤣
My mom worked nights, and this is at least 50% of the dinners my dad would make.
The scrambled egg mess is perfect.
Im sure Serj would be down (hehehe) to be on last meal. Most metal guys are just really down to earth chill dudes.
Literally love every moment Jordan is on the screen. Plus her random chaotic energy was chefs kiss
I really wish that Olivia would have made a guest appearance on this one. 😂
I was thinking of her too. But then she would pick the erewhon one. Which is what we're trying not to prove here lmao. 😂😅
We are getting closer and closer to Josh making a Shokugeki episode and I am here for it!
I would cry happy tears if serj tankien had a last meals episode
Who else is here after Serj Tankian was on Last Meals?😊
Chicken are actually great at communicating their moods. They'll even purr when happy.
16:45, that bit with the shot of syrup was hilarious, wow, I can almost forgive her for not respecting real maple syrup. Almost
That egg carton shape is actually quite common in Finland
where?
Monsters.
Where? Not in any of the stores I've visited in 29 years.
common in england too
@@babyshinx that’s strange. I have been using the 15 packs since 2009 at least, and they are in 3x5 grids. (I live in Helsinki)
Avac-adew ... the greatest Vine of all time 😂
It didn’t seem like it played in the studio but I got your Kurdish sovereignty joke…good on you sir!
I cant be the only one that noticed the old Sims music while Jordan was tasting 😅😂
Random tip (pre grounded black pepper is not 80% as good): when buying pepper roast it in a pan for a few minutes before putting it in your pepper mill, that will give it such an ooooomph
And then Serj did come on Last Meals.
for $14 a dozen, those chickens better be having a great non-stressful life
Chickens can lay white, green, blue, pink(ish) and browns all the way from light brown to dark chocolate color eggs. We have about 45 chickens and get a nice rainbow of eggs. No dye needed
Oh man, if I had those, I'd want to keep all the pretty shell shards!
Having Serj on the show would be excellent. He's a genuinely interesting guy, and it would be a fantastic chance for Josh to try his hand at cooking some Armenian food.
Day 1 of asking Mythical Chef Josh to please make another “Pokémon I Would Eat” video with the latest generation.
josh is the epitome of me cooking LOL; entertaining but also contains the stress level of a neurosurgeon. also dont hate on my use of the semi colon i am just trying to LIVE
Fun fact. I know Rhett loves beans. If you put baking soda in any bean dish it will prevent gas. 🤪
Boil the beans with baking soda and remove the foam as it cooks.
I wouldn't just add baking soda to a bean dish, I don't think that will be as effective.
.99 cent store?!? I could've been a great, divorced dad. Awesome video MK!
1:52 The cost of eggs was because they had to kill off a bunch of chickens to prevent the spread of avian flu, and that was a while ago. It’s back to a bit over $2/dozen at the local Trader Joe’s.
I would be so starstruck if I just happened to see Serj from s.o.a.d shopping in public 😂 dude was the voice in my ears from kindergarten to highschool and beyond.
When Josh said Kurds,give them sovereignty, It really made me tear up.
Thank you Josh, wish you best things in the worlds
Josh I love your chaotic nature mixed in with your skills and expertise. you are always a joy to watch in these shows and i'd love to cook with you someday.
I love when Jordan is on the show they are so effortlessly hilarious 😭
Still waiting to see Serj Tankian on last meals
Didja see it yet?? 😄
@@kieravidal107 lmao woke up and watched it first thing this morning, mythical delivery
@@meetrimet
What amazing timing this comment had.
Beeler’s is not fancy bacon 😂 it’s definitely not from humanely raised pigs so I don’t know why Erewhon decided to carry that
I really enjoy this series ❤
Just gotta say, I didn't really watch mythical kitchen content till I saw Fluffy on last meals, even though I see you guy making food on MM. Now I'm watching your content consistently and really appreciate your show and love it. I guess I'd like to know who came up with the last meals idea. I bet you don't answer but I'm glad it happened!
josh if you put mayonaise on the pancake batter it will rise more like japanese pancake
just one scoop is enough
Yes, I would pay an obscene amount for food to see SOAD at my grocery store
The animal science major in me yelling at the screen every time Josh mentions the eggs lmao
jordan being the only person to make josh NOT want to do something stupid is iconic
He's so used to being told to restrain himself that when she encourages his behavior, his brain breaks and doesn't know how to respond lmao
Petition for the mythical kitchen to get a new, larger, more accommodating set
"shout out to the curds... GIVE THEM SOVEREIGNTY" had me genuinely snort laugh
@Mythical Kitchen and/or Josh - Interesting sidenote - my father in law was the writer of the Parents without Partners Sourcebook.
Ooh, congratulations to him! He probably helped a lot of people!
i love how josh cuts down the overpricing of ingredients and like.. y'know, how this whole channel proves that you don't have to pay top dollar to have a great meal. imagine if this attitude (realism) was the norm [i'm thinking about cable tv when i say this, so i guess the attitude on american tv**].
lol he got serj on last meals
Speaking of Serge Tankian I remember meeting him in New Zealand in the small he lived in, I knew the band, had no idea who he was. Not sure if he's still living there as I got a random real estate ad on facebook from that town for a massive house that seemed to have a different piano or drumset in every photo.
Two videos in a row with System of a Down references? Love it!
I think I'd prefer the Erewhon bacon, but then I'm not a fan of it being too crispy. Their attempt at American cheese looked like a failure though. Reckon if you want good cheese in it gotta grate it to make it melt. I think I'm most impressed by Josh cooking both dishes at once!
My suggestion would be a Farmer's Market vs an Organic Market. I'm sure you must have one or two of each of them. I try to go to one of the farmer's markets around me once a week. It a great place to get fresh ingrediency but I always wonder if it is a better deal.
As a Divorced Father I can confirm that the whole omelette situation was spot on.
one of my fave series y’all do
i love that nothing was 99 cents at 99 cents only store
Petition to get Serj on Last Meals
Jordan brings just the right amount of chaos to any video she’s in.
