What are some exotic foods featured in this episode?

Nick DiGiovanni 0:00

In this video, I'm tasting the most exotic foods from all around the world, including this $2,500 Tasmanian crab, this $25,000 caviar, a six-figure trio of the rarest lobsters on Earth, and so much more, all starting with this $1 item. I can't wait for this. Here we go. pink velvet bananas these are from india where they grow in the wild and apparently taste like vanilla custard the first thing i notice is that if you look real close they're like fuzzy they are soft and fuzzy feel that oh that's nice we just kind of peel it off like a normal banana oh cool what is that they're filled with all these black seeds on the inside not bad kind of reminds me of like vanilla marshmallow i get like a creamy sort of melon flavor and at the end of each round guga and i will also have to agree on whether all of these exotic foods coming up are worth their exotic price or not i think it's fair to say that pink bananas are worth the one dollar moving on to our five dollar item we've got

This black, silky chicken. These chickens are from China and have a rare genetic mutation that turns the meat and bones completely black. I thought it'd be fun for us to turn this into charcoal fried chicken. What? We'll start by making a quick wet dredge with some buttermilk, egg, and some charcoal powder. Then we'll whisk it up? Sorry, Nick. And once that's mixed, we'll make our dry dredge and prepare all our chicken just like you would any normal fried chicken. And now it's time to fry.

Andy Frisella 1:28

It's like jet black.

Nick DiGiovanni 1:29

While these are cooking, our dipping sauce will be my brand new Osmo Magic Sauce. You can think of it like a hot sauce that you can put on everything. If you haven't tried it yet, go get some at your local Walmart before it's gone.

How does the pink velvet banana taste compared to its price?

Nick DiGiovanni 1:40

Ooh, I like it. Spicy, sweet, everything.

1:42

Go, go. I think it's done. Look at that.

Andy Frisella 1:48

Nick, you shouldn't be holding hot oil with a broken foot. Safety first. The big dunk.

Nick DiGiovanni 1:53

Let's hear the crunch. It's so crispy. It is, but it's not as good as regular chicken. So I'd say this one is not worth the money. For our $10 item, we have durian.

Andy Frisella 2:04

Oh, Nick.

Nick DiGiovanni 2:06

This is from Malaysia, and it's known as the king of fruits. But it smells so bad that it's banned from hotels, public transit, and airports all across Southeast Asia. Durian is the most confusing fruit in the world. You either love it or you hate it. I happen to love it, he happens to hate it. Yes, with a passion. Let's see if we can change your mind. To cut into it, follow along the seam. Oh boy, it's about to get bad in here. I gotta wear gloves for this because if I don't, the smell could stay on my fingers for days.

Andy Frisella 2:29

And you wanna eat it?

Nick DiGiovanni 2:31

We wedge it open. They're not that easy to open.

Andy Frisella 2:33

Oh ho ho!

Nick DiGiovanni 2:34

It's always looked a little bit like a chicken breast to me, and durian has become extremely expensive and hard to get in many places because people love it so much. I've always described the smell as everything bagel hot garbage. That's the perfect description. At one point, durian was my least favorite food, but then I was eating it in Malaysia one day and something crazy happened. Suddenly, it tasted like beautiful, soft, creamy vanilla custard and ripe tropical banana. I love it. How can you like it even if you have to wear gloves? I'm gonna try.

Andy Frisella 3:03

I'm already telling you, it's not worth it. Don't do it.

Nick DiGiovanni 3:08

It's so good.

Andy Frisella 3:08

No, it's not. It's so good. Don't do it.

Nick DiGiovanni 3:11

I can't stop eating it. We need to decide, is durian worth the money? No. I'll make you a deal.

What is the significance of black silky chicken in cooking?

Nick DiGiovanni 3:17

You taste this durian, we'll say it's not worth the money. You don't, it's worth the $10. I can't. This one's controversial, but I think durian is well worth the $10. Next up, our $25 item... rare eggs here we have an ostrich egg and an emu egg both from south africa because they ship so far and they're so incredibly delicate every time i've ever ordered these they come in a diaper if you think about it it's a baby ostrich i never thought about it like that you can't just crack these into a bowl like normal eggs so we'll use a knife to open it up wait the membrane's still there dude let's peel that back whoa
