I lost it. 🤣
This is the direct-to-VHS Beetlejuice knockoff shrimp cocktail.
Ben, the Top Dog t-shirt was an excellent choice. Go Bears!
Top Dog t-shirt let's goooooooo
dont ask why i know this but theres a justin beibler music video that is set at one of these parties, i always found this sort of food revolting and i didnt understand why everything was jello
i prefer the old podcast with your wife.
That roll in the Lover's Feast video is likely Hörnchen a german bread roll type thing that you're right is very close to how you were describing.
When I was a kid, I thought artichokes were great. Eating one is such a difficult process that basically you get to play with your food. Even my sister ate them, and she was the picky eater of the family.
quite w.e.i.r.d. , just saying, not that there's anything wrong with that
26:30 – 26:53 i have never laughed this hard at such a string of words in a while
Imagine paying for a pod cast.
My Dad had culinary training in the 70s. The melon thing was a big deal for formal parties with an emphasis on skill to go along with ice carvings and such while having a touch of whimsy.
My own training is in the graphic arts, so the color temperature opening was a nice flashback to college.
Y'know. Klingons really probably would do AMAZING fondue.
The EYES WIDE SHUT scoring for the stings is weirdly apposite.
Adam Ragusea can't make a video without referencing that dumb theory evolution
1970s German key party curry is just suck a cursed thought.
32:54 Cincinnati Chili actually comes from Greek immigrants in Ohio!
If the Horny Of Plenty is German, the bread things would be a very large Hörnchen and two Weckmänner. They're similar(ish) to brioche. Not gingerbread, but not regular bread either.
38:02 I know that reference, sadly
At 14:00 the fish in the background is much likely a smoked mackerel.
At 26:45 please speak only for your culture, in mine are existing soft sweet breadman's. (Stutenkerl)
Christmas is offensive
"Why do we associate higher energy light as cool and lower energy light as warm?" Fire. The biggest threat to ancient civilization was fire and that happened to mostly be a dull orange color. We didn't evolve around commonly available sources of plasma hot blue.
not payin fo thatt…
Idk if I've ever seen a fishtank with substrate that deep actually look healthy just in the background of someone's video. They often die out after the pretty photos. This guy freshwaters!
I am not sure the quiz show where a person failed at identifying corn and maize as the same is a diagnosis of country, but it does say a lot about how the word "corn" has been associated specifically with "maize". The older meaning of "corn" is a synonym of "grain" or "seed". See such remnants of that meaning as "peppercorns" (pepper seeds), and "corned beef" (salted with grains of salt).
I will once again say I came across this word shift when reading Tolkien's backstory for Lembas, which described it as being made from corn that was originally imported to Middle-Earth from Valinor, probably by Melian, the Maia, and Queen of Doriath. Notable because Galadriel was granddaughter to Olwë, brother of Melian's husband, Elwë Singollo aka Elu Thingol. So Galadriel learned how to make Lembas from Melian while residing in Doriath, and mroe than likely carried with her some of the corn it was made from when Doriath fell and she was in the survivors who fled to Mouths of Sirion.

We won't need to wait fifty years for people to look back aghast at the 2020s habit of handheld SM7Bs in shot! Eek!
As far as the bread-man at 27:00 is concerned, this looks to me like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stutenkerl (known as Weckmann in my neck of the woods), which is in fact not made of gingerbread, but of a leavened dough.
I was born in 1961 and had to suffer through these terrible meals, this was a great motivation. At the age of 13 I went down to Chinatown in New York City with my own money and bought a wok and a book on Szechuan cooking, later I Incorporated Mexican and Thai food along with classic Italian. 😊
“What is this dish called?”
“The Aristocrats!”
Do you still upload to podcast? I never see them
I discovered Adam Regusea and TGG podcast independent of each other. So seeing them collaborate like this always blows my mind
It's wild how Adam feels the need to stoke the flames of racism in everything he does.
"Cold colors actually have a higher Kelvin" Yeah everybody already had this thought in like 7th grade Adam. You are thinking on a 11 year old's level.
red, the color of fire. The color of blood. Different effect on the mind then blue
Sorry if this is an overstep but Ben is so cute
29:16 in the UK, corn is a generic term for several grains: wheat, barley, oats, etc, as well as its use in corn on the cob / sweetcorn for maize
39:00 OGWUA Watermelon
Its our boy Goose and his buddies
I'm sitting here, eating my oatmeal, in tears, hearing you guys talk about gingerbread men and lovers corn. Well done, lads 😂
Also, Ben's wife is a genius. TJ's appetizers all the way
I had to google the Aloha Airlines plane. After seeing it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The gingerbread men are actually bread men (slightly sweetened yeast dough, brushed off with some egg yolk before baking for the glaze). It's a common seasonal thing here in Germany and they lokk absolutely identical.
Thx for this. You gave me hard laughs, almost to the point where it woke up my baby boy.
In just that brief comment about radio waves you finally made me understand why they work. Thank you soooo much!
My memory (71 yrs) is that color photos from the drugstore were more expensive and better quality before the 70s when cheaper and less durable processes came into use. Also cheaper cameras, tiny film sizes and ridiculous square photo paper that were matte fuzz to hide lack of sharpness.
We have fantastic LED lights now that can be adjusted for light temperature. Get one and play with it.
They can also show single hues.
None of these lights have any perceptible differences in heat. Color ‘temperature’ of white light has nothing to do with heat.
White light is all colors but proportion of hues can vary. So warmer light like sunlight has more yellowish colors (about 3500k) and cooler light like skylight is bluer (about 6500k). In between values like 4800k are ‘balanced’ between yellow and blue and are therefore colorless.
Btw all these ‘party foods’ look like stuff that was in food magazines that were made and eaten by no one. I never saw any of this.
The croissant shaped bread you discuss around the half an hour mark really reminds me of a type of bread popular in the south of germany and austria called Hörnchen (in south/western germany) or Kippferl(in Austra and I believe Bavaria). It is likely the same dough as those "gingerbread men" which we call "Weckmann". THey are all made from a really rich dough kind of reminiscent of brioche but a bit less fatty then that. Especially the "gingerbread men" are a particular tradition around saint martin's day where i am from where we give them to children after walking in a nightly parade with lights followed by a bonfire where they can all sing songs and eat the bread together. Hence it would seem logical that the picture might also be from westgermany/austria. Also as far as i know corn on the cob was really popular there and then(or so my parents seem to indicate if anything). Just a guess based on the food i could identify though. Really great show. I loved listening to you guys just shoot shit. Might give the other ones a listen too.
Second hand stores get tonnes of these old cooking books all the time.
