In my experience, a foreigner misinterpreting your culture is more funny than offensive as long as they're not making judgements based on those misinterpretations. So basically, keep doing that, it's hilarious for the country involved.
@@arthurhenriqued.a.ribeiro2078 as someone whose country gets mocked a lot, racial/ethnic stereotypes are one to steer clear of. another thing to note is if they're punching down/technically insulting an impoverished country and its culture, food, etc. if it's just lighthearted jokes to a country that can defend itself or isn't in a bad place in the world stage, it's no problem.
Bit late to the party, but there are actually Bossche Bollen you can fit your head in. They are supposed to feed about 16 people, but you do you of course ;)
Hearing them joke about Bitcoin in the year 2021 feels unbelievably surreal. I forgot entirely about the cronut thing, but Bitcoin? Can't see 10 tweets on Twitter without seeing an ad for an investment app for it
As a Dutchman, I was under the impression that our space program was developed in secret. Now we'll have to figure out another foodstuff to use as spacesuit. Maybe a giant bitterbal?
To quote from Wikipedia: On 30 November 2017, Kellogg's announced they would discontinue Ricicles as part of a drive to reduce sugar in children's cereals.
You left out an additional morsel of wiki-based knowledge: the "nun's farts" page emphasizes that they are not to be confused with _another_ nun's-farts-based French pastry: "pets de soeurs" ("[holy] sister's farts"). Those French certainly have a way with names...
Steven Grady I'm now imagining some French sitcom about a flatulent nun living with a pastry chef, who keeps trying to give subtle hints by naming pastries this...
Oh Tom, I think you've confused an 'American' breakfast with a hotel breakfast buffet. An American breakfast consists of bacon guns and freedom eggs and you must wear the ceremonial giant foam cowboy hat.
I am an American...and doughnuts for breakfast are actually quite rare for most people. Really you only do that if you need to feed like 200 students for cheap. Love your channel btw :)
Bread rolls with cheese or meat, tomato and some lettuce, scrambled eggs, muesli/cornflakes, coffee, that is how i like my breakfast. But I'm not against adding chocolate pudding, sausages and lots of bacon into the mix.
Too true. I'm American and most doughnuts are too sweet for me in the morning. I feel like the entire industry is based on people giving donut boxes to coworkers/cops/school teachers. :P
Believe it or not it's a violation of the Geneva Convention to use pastries in combat… since any soldier using such a thing would technically be _desserting_ :D
Impressive. Tom's pronunciation of "Bossche Bol" was pretty much spotless. Matt's impression of a Dutch person was despicable, though. We aren't Germans...
Josh Adams well luckily the tdnt part was a typo. They meant ' achthonderdachtentachtig' still bad because the soft ch is uncommon in English (it's like the ch in the Scottish loch), but no tdnt nonsense. Achthonderdachtentachtig just mean eight hundred eighty eight by the way.
Drats, the Brits have figured out our space program; back to the drawing board! Never heard of Bossche Bollen btw, had to look it up and they look tasty, maybe I should buy some.
Buying a nun's fart for £5 and selling it for a hundred later that day... I think that's called inflation... I have no idea why it's taken me seven years to come up with that joke but that's the beauty of rewatching these - you discover things you hadn't before. :P
Ludo Universalis Actually, The Hague is just Den Haag. 's-Gravenhage is a pretentious attempt at achieving what the one time administrative capital of the Spanish Empire had achieved. You will never find a sign pointing or welcoming you to 's-Gravenhage, nor will you find any for Den Bosch, but the people of Den Bosch are too humble and the people of 's-Gravemhage too pretentious to make you think otherwise.
I liked the show. I will always like this show. I will always exclaim along to 'Mysterrryyy Bisssccuiittts!" In the intro. I will never stop loving this show.
Your pronunciation is actually 95% spot on. Only your o in Bossche is too high, Your o sounds as the o in floss. While the O in Bossche bol sounds like the o in Mole. Nice though. And Btw, Turning it upside down will just cause the chocolate on top to be lost. My advice to eat it is... and it will be messy, Cut it in half grab the one half with your hand and shove it in your open face hole. Chew, and repeat with the second half. My advice, If you ever go to the Netherlands, It's worth the trip to go to Den Bosch ('s-Hertochenbosch), just for the Bossche Bol.
Great episode as always, guys! These always seem like they've only been going for about 5 minutes though and then they're over, which is probably something to do with how they give me a higher laugh count per unit of time than anything else I watch/listen to. Great job, and I can't wait for a new audio episode tomorrow, too! :D
I don’t trust any foodstuff which is currently going viral online, if it’s a basic foodstuff (like fruit or veg) then it probably isn’t all people are saying it is and if it’s a made food then they’ve probably put more attention into the look, the name and marketing than the actual taste or quality of ingredients.
In Quebec (Canada) we have a pastry called pet de soeur which translates as nun's farts but doesn't contain cream. It's basically leftover pie crust rolled out with a brown sugar and butter mix spread on one side then they are rolled up and cut into slices and baked.
What a coincidence, my favourite RU-vidr doing a video about something the city I was born in is known for :). The city is called 's Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch), which is where the name comes from (Bol basically means sphere).
Hi Technical Difficulties. Citation needed is fun to watch. And it's versatile. If you play it backwards you get 2 of these people are lying. If you turn it inside out and sideways you get Lateral.
In how many episodes have these guys gotten sidetracked by weaponized or otherwise unconventionally used desserts? Off the top of my head I remember this, the chocolate rods from space, and the marshmallow bearings.
How do eat something upside down if it's spherical? The crazy answer--turn the person upside down, is petty much all there is. Any spillage would have less room to fall, I guess.
The pastry is spherical. Not a perfect sphere but just a little squat, quite like a profiterole. It has a hole in the bottom from where the cream was injected, and after that it gets dipped in chocolate. The chocolate covering is then not quite covering the entire thing because it needs to be held someplace during dipping. By turning it upside down and eating it from the hole, you're supporting it at the chocolate, which gets your fingers sticky, but because you're enlarging the hole, there's no pressure building up causing the cream to squish out.
Profiterole = cream puff in the US. I just happened to stumble upon that. Now I know what the heck you guys are talking about. I mean, cream puff is self explanatory. Why the other name? It's not the French name for it, which translates to cream cabbage.
The classic English Breakfast is bacon, egg (fried sunny side up), black pudding, toast/hash browns, sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes. www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB695GB696&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=english%20breakfast
Video started, and then stopped ... just as you'd said: "... and these..." My mind kept running, and immediately appended "... pillocks here ..." to it! **face-palm@self**
druids fluids actually just sells the same holy water that you can get for free from your nearby church if you have a crowbar and are willing to make an effort
I've just discovered this... well 3 days ago and have gone through quite a good number of episodes. Are the technical difficulties not a thing anymore?
Oh no they still are. It's just that, you know, COVID and all. Can't really group together at the moment. Currently, there latest series "Two of These People are Lying" is on Tom's other channel.
