The Paul Rudd episode was effectively combining an American national treasure with a British national treasure and allowing them to wander around together
The Russian restaurant where they're eating is called 'Petrovich' in central Moscow and its a nostalgia-themed restautrant with classic workingman's fare and furnishings from a re-imagined Soviet era. The items they are eating are still pretty common dishes.
I love horseradish and mustard and I think it would help with that lard plate in a way that makes it tolerable....not sure that's what they want though.
I don't know if it's possible, but if you can use a VPN to reroute your connection to the uk, you could watch the episodes on channel 4 demand. I assume it's on there anyway, mostly everything he does is on channel 4.
Hákarl is something most Icelanders never eat. It is better than starving - that is all I can say about it. He/they should have tried kjötsúpa, Hangikjöt, Lambakjöt or ýsa; (boiled or fried haddock),with potatoes and smjöri(butter). They could have tried a lot of good food icelandic people eat daily... or seldom like Sviðakjammar that actually are eatable. As for Brennivín... no-one drinks that "straight" you fill the glass with kók i.e. Coca-Cola or some other type of soda.
My girlfriend hates liquorice (the normal kind) but I love it. So she got me some from Flying Tiger (Danish shop) back when neither of us knew salted liquorice was a thing, and she didn't understand why I found that disgusting sweet disgusting but liked the other disgusting sweet.
The very fact that you did this with Lena Dunham complaining about black pudding/blood sausage has turned my stomach. Black pudding can be gorgeous! One of my favourite dishes.
I wish someone would make that gif. The Greg Davies episode was such a gem. I'd watch it again and I've already seen it 4 times 🤣 They make a hilarious duo.
On nettles, i have never eaten it raw but in soup its like a kind of spinach.(and if you roll or simply stroke the spines with your palm or something you won't get stung while its raw) Quite good and very nutritious.
I was praying to finish the video without seeing any Turkish ones here but then I saw İşkembe Çorbası and was like... fck it's ok you're right, they're absolutely right hahahahah
“Tubes are opening in me that have been closed since the 90s.” That’s what happens when you sit on the steps that were the music video filming location for Darude Sandstorm.
Would love to go out for dinner with Richard! he's my kind of man \o/ nothing better than trying new things.. even if it tastes like trashbag bottom water xD
I love brains...especially goat brains. One of the best dishes I've ever had was curried goat brain over fragrant basmati rice with caramelized onions and tamarind syrup. Also, I eat menudo about 6 times a year (Mexican tripe soup). I love organ meats...aside from chicken gizzards which have the texture of intertubes and almost no flavor...and I've tried them 4 different ways with the same result.
I ate the shark thinking, in my drunken state, it was cheese. Soon realised. Should have done given the lack of cows, sheep or goats. Worst thing I have had in my mouth.
Lets see if my over-stimulated brain can absorb ultra-modern Shakespearean comedy. I think from now on I have to say, "Woah, now that is too Turkish!!" Richard Ayoade terms to live by: "Why won't this kill me?" "I had to go through that like a jackal." "That's going to end up a horrible gift." "Lights on, it's become too Turkish". "I think any food that requires you to be drunk should be reassessed." "That is not how you get Michelin stars." "That face tells me you made the wrong decision." "It looks like a normal leaf I would eat if I was lost in a park." "This Watership Down is sanctified with apple schnapps..."
