Which really means anything. >> So if it's anything anything anything then yes I can get >> Peking duck. Welcome back to a interesting episode of careful boys. Today we have Nick telling us about we had just heard that he was eating a salsa that contained ants as an intentional ingredient. Yeah dude it was pretty crazy. I'm trying to find >> sure that the ants didn't just crawl in there and then you're just like wow this is crazy there's ants in This this guy thinks the ants are meant to be in there. >> It's called it's called chicatanas. Chicatanas and it's a Can you just
0:51 ████ air drop the pictures or some ████ so we could see it? >> Type in chicatanas. Yeah it looks like this. And then grind it up and apparently it's like a ton of umami in it and apparently that's what people want. >> Wow. >> That just looks like peppercorn dog there's no ants. The legs are burned off. >> There's wings though. Are those ████ termites? Shut the ████ up those are ants. What what Oh what the In Mexico City they use that in a ton of dishes and they use it as like a like it's it's really good and I I remember I don't even know what the ████ we ate dude. Dude if my mom saw this ████ she'd ████ freak out. She would love it. She would love it. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> She was like I could have been feeding this ████ to I've been eating wasp soup as a kid. Bro but they Put it on this taco that we had and it was ████ delicious. >> grind it into a paste? >> Yeah or is it like a paste? even know what's in there bro. >> Yeah but how come Mexicans we don't we know don't eat like this? Because this
1:42 is like experimental fine dining right? Like It's like escargot kind of If we lived in Mexico City we probably would eat this. >> That's that's the kind of ant you're eating? That ████ ant is huge. Wait how much That's a ████ big ant dude. >> it to eat here? I don't even remember. >> Yo that they got pinchers and ████ I think for me and Tiff together was like With tip? It was like 400 [snorts] bucks. What the ████ That's a big ████ ant dude. That's like way cheaper than if you would have get it in like >> You guys are they're Chinese man they're just not phased by this ████ Like that s███'s a massive ant. I've never seen a red ant that big. If you ever got a bit by that ████ it's going to be worse than a bee sting. >> When you're eating it Nick are you able to like make out which part of it is the ant? That's why it was totally fine. Cuz it was crushed like it's like crushed
2:32 pepper basically. Yeah pretty much and it was like a garnish and they put it under like they did like an abalone taco or something bro. It was just like and if I I can't even get the menu that I had. >> Is it one of those things where they tell you after you eat it so you don't freak out? >> They tell you right before. They're like hey it's this. Everything's mixed in you know like they they present it and it's crazy cuz they'll get like five people coming out putting the table like they their ████ is just tight tight tight tight. >> go like Mexicans are better than Salvador? She didn't say that but I'm going to next time we go I'm going to get her to say it. I'm going to get her to So uh are you familiar with the beef that they got? The Salvadoran versus Mexicans. What it is is that any culture likes to punch down on on a nearby culture. Like I think that's just what it is. You get that in Asians you get that in Latinos
3:22 you get that with Africans. Anywhere you go there's going to be someone being like yo these guys are way worse than us. We're better than them. I just feel like it's just human nature. >> Cuz they're just they're the next state over. Yeah they're they're you know whatever they could say about it. They'll just say they're poor they're this they're that you know. What do they eat that's different? Do they do they have tacos? Yeah they do but it's like most of the restaurants when we were in El Salvador it was all like we had a lot of street food. Pupusas. A lot of pupusas. It's like everyone's got their own version of whatever but like they'll do like empanadas that they deep fry but they call something else they call I forgot what the ████ they call it. >> Empanadas. Empaniadas. But and then you know they have uh they have yuca and chicharrón which is one of my favorite dishes. I like that a lot. Wait yuca like like those Brazilian Yeah it's like it's very it's like a potato but they boil it so
4:13 it's like it's kind of a little bit more yeah it's really good though dude. So yeah. Like that? Yeah dude those are the ones we had. >> Pupusas? And there was a lady outside of her house with a deep fryer and she was she was making this with her daughter. They're deep frying it. Tiff's my mother-in-law started to yeah pasteles. You know they're talking to mom outside and then they just hooked us up. So it was like it was really cool to You like these better than like traditional empanadas? It's different cuz it's deep fried. Like a traditional like Argentinian empanada is very different. It's like flaky little puff pastry. You like that. Like uh consistency. >> corn? Is that corn? >> I think it is. Yeah and that's why it's different too. I think it's corn. It's like masa masa. Masa. >> [laughter] >> Why you laughing at how I pronounce things dog? Do you do you find yourself Do you like more Salvadoran food or Mexican food?
5:04 I think I like Mexican food more. More? More often you >> There's more options there's more and I think my wife would say the same thing. >> Oh really? >> Low key I eat more Salvi food than my wife bro. No way. She won't she won't even eat the curtido the curtido curtido. So when you travel you travel with your tongue right? >> Yeah bro I'm eating bro. Cuz I feel like that's the best way to dive into the culture right? So did Tiff show you all of her favorite joints in in in the her neighborhood and you're like you got to try this mole or Kind of kind of. Like we we go to uh we go to like different Salvadoran spots but her joke is always like you go to a Salvadoran restaurant you order it takes them 45 minutes to give you the food so How's that a joke? That's just kind of how they get down. Like she's like >> they doing the whole time? They take forever. I just noticed That's just the Salvi service that's what she calls it. So we don't really go out to like we do eat Salvadoran food but then
5:54 we just go to her Tiff's mom's house. It's probably the best. >> It's the best. Like nothing compares to her her pupusas or all the stuff that she makes. Um but >> Ooh I love fried yuca. You like that? Oh yeah. Pupusas? Pupusas. Pupusas are fire. But then again I always look at it as like I'd rather have Tiff's mom's pupusas cuz I feel like her pupusas are the best. Like I'm not really phased by other people's pupusas anymore honestly. >> You like her pupusas. Woah dude take that back. That's my mother-in-law bro. [laughter] No but Was that the yuca fries? >> That's the fried uh yuca with uh chicharrón. This be bomb man. That looks like a Mexican chili cheese fry. That actually looks pretty pretty bomb.

With the ducks hanging in the window. >> [snorts] >> Is that a no go? If it was my birthday, Yeah. she'll go and going Yeah, but what does she eat there? Like what the Okay, cuz like you don't have to eat the dog, you get fish, you get
10:07 ████ You can get ████ chicken bro. I think the menu >> [laughter] >> is contaminated with eight other things. Yeah. So it's like yes, there's like let's say let's say there's In-N-Out double-double, but on top of it it's like roasted dog and underneath is alligator guts. >> [laughter] >> SO SO I THINK FOR HER SHE'S LIKE, I don't EVEN WANT TO SEE THESE THINGS ON THE MENU. Those examples though. Roasted >> Cuz what I alligator guts? >> [laughter] >> I don't know. That I'm I'm That's the English translation, so it sounds right. >> from her perspective. >> They couldn't think of a cool name like double-double for that? [laughter] Yeah, cuz I don't like turtle, but if you want Let's say you want ████ McTurtles, right? You're like, "Yo, I'm going to go to ████ McTurtles." I'd be like, "All right, I'll get the carrots." Or some ████ like I'll be like, "I'm not If you really want the turtles, ████ yeah, but like I'll I'll
10:58 find one thing that I'm chill with and I'll order that. >> I'll just have a bowl of rice. She doesn't even want to see that ████ >> Yeah. The reason why I bring that up is >> I don't even want to see a turtle. Like I I brought Tiff to a restaurant like that >> Uh-huh. >> with our family and there was ducks hanging and we're waiting and she's like, "I'm going to wait outside." >> [laughter] >> Yeah, she's like she like to Smack can't look at it either, yeah. No, they don't want to see cuz it it takes away the appetite. And especially like the way they look at ducks versus the way we look at ducks. >> [laughter] >> Like Like we were watching the Outdoor Boys, right? And this dude was hunting for ducks and she was like, >> [gasps] >> "Oh my god, how could they do that? Like how could they do that to a duck?" And I was like, "What do you mean?" And I go, "Yeah, I remember now." But you know what's funny? On the flip side, if I go, "Gio, you can pick anything, right?" She
11:48 goes, "Anything?" And I go, "Yeah, anything." The minute she says Chipotle, I'M LIKE, "WHAT THE F███?" >> SHE SAYS CHIPOTLE? WHAT THE ████ WHY WOULD YOU ANYBODY WANT TO EAT ████ [laughter] CHIPOTLE? JESUS ████ CHRIST. >> I'M JUST GOING TO COOK THEN. SO WHAT YEAH, YEAH, I'm like, "All right, let's just We'll just go buy food from the supermarket and make it ourselves." [laughter] That is funny because when someone's like, "Ooh, anything?" Who the ████ chooses ████ Chipotle? Wait, do you know her order? What's her order? What does she get at Chipotle? Yeah. One of There's only three choices. >> I don't know. I'm just curious. Steak burrito or something. >> And on top of that, she's Mexican. That Her ordering Chipotle is like me going like 7-Eleven sushi, here we come. >> [laughter] >> EXACTLY CUZ I'M LIKE, "IF YOU WANT a burrito, there's 9,000 other better burritos. Jesus ████ Christ, dude."
12:39 >> Like those kinds of burritos? Like some real like janky Mexican place? They just cuz Taika is on her team, they just like the Chipotle flavor. I'm like, "God damn ████ hate Chipotle. I I know. >> I hate Chipotle. I'd way rather go to any other Mexican spot, one of the million Mexican spots by my house. I think I could eat that every day till I die and the consistency is so bad. Like some days it's just riddled with salt and some days no flavor at all. I'm like, "I can't take a chance anymore." Yeah. Yeah, cuz I'm like especially for 20 bucks. >> It's so inconsistent, yeah. >> I'm like, "Dude, there's a million other burritos we can get. Jesus ████ That's when I flip out." Does she like Del Taco? Is that like she likes those kinds of things? >> I love Del Taco. I'll ████ >> Del Taco's better to than Chipotle. >> Honestly, I would Because that fits a different category. Chipotle is supposed to be The two categories it fits, it's
13:30 like either Mexican food or like uh clean food. Right. >> In both It sucks at both. >> And it sucks at both and in both I could pick way better. >> Sucks at being clean food? I'd rather get Hainan chicken. There it [laughter] is. There it is. You You said that like it's a common thing people say. You want this or Hainan chicken? Like if you want high protein, low fat, I'mma go Hainan chicken then. I can't believe Gio thinks Hainan chicken >> Or I'll go Tacos El Gordo. Yeah. I'll go those too. ████ Chipotle. >> I was at Red Rock. You know there's like a noodle house place in in the Red Rock Casino? I got the Peking duck fried rice. 88 noodle or something, right?

Do you like duck? I love it, but I didn't eat it until my 20s.
14:21 >> Filipinos love crispy duck. Anything that can get them a stroke sooner. Anything with that skin, boy. >> Well, cuz Filipinos eat a lot of Chinese food. Like a lot of the cuisines kind of like Cantonese food, yeah. Absolutely. Low-key actually now I think about it, most of the food that Tiff eats is somewhat Asian. Because of you, probably. Yeah. I got her eating sushi. When we first started dating, she didn't eat sushi. And I got her to start slowly eating sushi. >> But does she eat the hardcore stuff? Like the >> So I had a starter with like a chicken teriyaki roll or like a beef teriyaki >> Teriyaki roll. That's the gateway, dude. The gateway, I'm telling you. It is It is, yeah. Smack loves chicken teriyaki roll. I'm saying. And then and then it was like gyoza. Yeah, yeah. >> Get the palate of the seaweed. >> 100% like it's it's an easy way to get them in and then now she eats the spicy tuna. She's starting to eat raw fish now. Like before she wouldn't eat it. So now she has sashimi and And you know
15:12 what was Don't like sushi of their own? Yeah, for sure. But never like the the consistency the way like sushi is, right? Where it's like kind of like wet and like slimy. But her eating poke was the transition where she started eating uh like raw fish and I was like, "Thank god. Thank god for Hawaii." It's the best. Now she will actually eat >> Poke is the ultimate gateway to like sushi, man. It's the gateway, rather. It's the gateway for >> dude. Shout out to Poke Express. >> to Poke Express.
