We call deer meat venison here in the UK. Not sure if that applies elsewhere. Oh, and we call their horns antlers 😉. I think there's a chunk of missing video where you had your sound difficulties. No tasting of banana curry or apricots?
FYI; Deer has antlers. Cow or sheep has hons. Difference: horns are hollow, antlers are solid. We all called it, 5. However we didn't get to see the banana curry or the item with the stick. As usually, we enjoyed what we saw. Thank you.
Horns are not hollow. The bone interior is covered by a sheath made of keratin. When you look at drinking horns or other “processed” horns, the sheath has been separated from the bone interior, leaving a hollow horn. The main difference, other than the materials horns and antlers are made of, is that antlers are shed every year and horns are not.
Great group of vending machines! Love the Hiroshima ones. I like the machines that showcase a certain areas products. The ones out in the country where local people can put their produce in are fun too.
Another epic vending machine video, Eric. Nice to see Megabrain joining you again. I don't know who thought that oysters and olive oil are a match; I'd yack if given that. Fresh oysters can't be beat. I grew up in the wilderness of Northern Ontario 🇨🇦 and ate plenty of game growing up: deer sausage is something I remember fondly, so I'm happy that you enjoyed yours. Japan just seems to do so many things right. It's a shame you had technical problems, but that's life, isn't it? My body is currently going through technical difficulties. 😅
Eric would be the best tour guide for anyone visiting Japan. He just looks like a lot of fun. Nice seeing Megabrain in these videos. He seems to enjoy them. Cheers.
Do love the facial moments when it's "not great". Scottish word is bowfen ( As it taking a bow ) It's left over from the invasion of the Vikings. Enjoy the two of you working together.
Thank you, Eric, for these wonderful videos. I'll probably never make it to Japan in person. But I get to see what I'm missing. There are two things I've learned about wild game. 1) Deer sausage is the best, especially with hashbrowns and eggs, and 2) wild pig meat should only be eaten ground up, along with ground lamb, and made in to a burger or sausage.
Really interesting to see all the different items you bought. The only vending machines here in the UK are drinks or junk food sweets like chocolate bars and crisps (chips). At least that's all I've ever seen. It would be so much fun to buy actual food from a vending machine. Love the video Eric, always pleased to see one pop up in my notifications :)
The venison sausages are awesome with redcurrant or cranberry sauce - being game, the sweetness really brings them to life! The oysters are really good on toast too.... they really need that crunch to counter the soft oyster. Another great vending machine video, thank you Eric
I like venison, but as you can taste the iron it’s an acquired taste for some. I love wild boar. It isn’t usually gummy or chewy unless it’s overcooked. Not very often full of fat either, so I think you got a dodgy one. I’ll be eating wild boar tonight, but in sausage form! Oh, that cheesy coffee mate cookie looks like traditional shortbread…but I’ve never come across cheese in them before! I make lemon & lime shortbread for my family.
I look forward to coming to Japan here in the next couple years and with all these vending machines I'll have to exercise self control to actually be hungry enough to eat at restaurants too!
I'm going to eat so much curry hahaha. Japanese curry is absolutely one of my favorite foods ever. You ever get the opportunity I recommend mac and cheese with curry. One of my favorite cheap meals to make.
I watch your channel all the time. All of these vending machines are cool. I don't know if we will ever be able to do anything like that over here, in America.
I've heard that boar is difficult to cook properly because it's a fibrous gamey meat. I think it works best ether cut thinner or stewed for a long time.
Great video Eric and mega You owe my 4 year old a vending she has asked Santa for one because we watch your videos so often , will settle for a shoutout in the next video x Alessia x
Thanks again Eric. In the UK we say A-pricot but the reason Americans may say Abricot is that this is French and it believed French traders took them to Americas along the silk road from China in the 1700, cheers
I love megabrain! He's such a good guest. The vending machine foods look delicious as usual, so jealous the states don't have such nice vending machines. Good video once again Eric!
That's a beautiful room and the vending machine's. I would love to try Japan's food. I have never been out of the United States. It's my dream to go to Japan and taste the food and play the arcades lol
These are hands down on of my fave videos. Always love the content Eric! Still haven't got my prize but I can't wait!! I'm so excited lol. Have a nice day! Will talk soon 🐱 ✌️🧡
I’m actually excited about the banana curry. 😅 Part of me was like…..”eww”. The other part was … “intriguing”. Can’t wait to see if it’s sweet or savory. I know that I adore coconut curry and that is savory…so I wonder if the banana curry will be more like a plantain flavor rather than banana flavor. 😊 It can be said either way… Ape-ricot or App-ricot. Just like pecan can be said like, pan-cahn or pea-can. Both are correct!! 😊 Also… they are antlers. I love that you’ve been in Japan so long that you sometimes forget English words. 😂❤✌🏻
"I'm not a big fan of oysters... cough" Sorry, Eric, couldn't stand a laugh as your son also did 😅 It looked a little bit painful 😄 Perhaps it was too tough or maybe the taste wasn't that good 😅 And I think we missed a dish, but perfectly understood due to the mic/camara problem. No worries, Eric, always grateful to you 😁
My son is in Japan at the moment from Australia. I have given him strict instructions to do as many vending machines as he can in 5 weeks! And to do the old man up a care package!
I LOVE raw oysters (and various other seafoods as I've commented about previously), but smoked oysters (in oil, jarred, canned.... whatever!) are nasty. Never developed a taste for them. So I admire your courage, guys!
