0:07 [Laughter] [Music] all right this is gonna be a really tough one to guess I'll be surprised if any of you even get close bar will do it there is uh so over in the Hunan Province in China [Laughter] unani Province there's a there's an interesting food that's getting like a lot of attention apparently it's centuries old they sell it out of a food stall and it was something that boat men ate when they didn't have any food what what was it like not even food like it's a food they ate when they didn't have food what the hell do you think they could be is it edible the boat the pieces of the boat yeah as I slowly single
0:58 it's not pieces of the boat leather bags special food it's edible no it's not it's not it because you know that's what they did back in the day when um when when sailors like explore they ate the bag they would eat the leather paper the leather there's nutrition in it how many calories is in leather probably like 50 grams of protein dude isn't that like chicharrones like it's kind of yeah it's just dried out oh yeah it's dried out yeah then fried with chemicals and they put stuff on it and paint what do you think flowers flowers is that there's actually a good ████ thing it's not mud but it's it's close you're not too far off bugs just it's not that it rhymed with mud yeah it's not mud it's um is that close sand
1:50 or Rock it's cool rocks which one which one do you want to commit to one I think it's sand you say sand he says rocks oh which one do you think it is one of you is right I think it's sand because you can mix it with a little bit of water dude and it goes down real nice that's genius it's actually rocks crazy little rocks stir-fried rocks stir-fry they ate that in the Hunan Province apparently hundreds of years ago yeah is it a specific kind of they're very smooth okay now we're talking yeah it's weird like are we talking about River Pebbles yeah they seasoned rocks right and they
2:40 season it oh I've actually seen this before really got food they're making rocks of food it's a garnish so you're not supposed to actually eat the rock you're just supposed to like suck on it yeah there's suck rocks dude I'll suck on a rock yeah so are they eating like the green onions or whatever on the rock yeah well it looks like they just like sauteed and all this stuff to give it flavor and then you just suck the Rock and then toss it yeah but you throw us for a loop because you said eat I mean yeah technically they are eating yeah they're sucking them but that's kind of like getting crawfish because you just basically have half a centimeter of food and they just lick the ████ out of the shell yeah but it's like
3:30 it's like people are really voluntarily trying to get these dude what a ████ cash grab this maybe it tastes good right endless rocks and Postmates delivery man's worst nightmare [Laughter] so there's saute with uh stir-fried with garlic chili uh Rosemary to give it that distinct flavor oh good Rosemary rocks I think costs about 223. dude save it hey that's the market price at Home
4:20 Depot will you lose dude on your lawn dude on your life they look nice oh it isn't like the Fishbowl yeah yeah at least there's no food waste you all you gotta do is just saute it and stir fry it again reusable that's the part that's weird as they are like they are saying that they say that after you're done sucking it you give it a good give it back to me yeah and exactly and then they'll go and get the Rocks again and re-surf right this is a high margin business dude yeah but yeah they're printing the game of it is it's s-u-o-d-i-u how do you say that s-o-u-s-u-o s-u-o-d-i-u so do you see I don't even know how do you say
5:10 rock okay so the it says the translation is to suck and throw away how do you say that oh to suck oh okay so the DIA is still suck is I don't know what sucks she oh maybe that's how you say she deal she should do you trying to suck and throw it away Nick's pretty good at that not the throwaway part I get real attached I just can't help it I just love too hard but yeah I guess it's like a it's a it's a good thing to pair with wine apparently no it's not what did they say that they told her like trying to figure out if he's weird or not yeah this is a famine pleasure right here because it's all just liquid
6:01 like you got ████ alcohol and then that just makes you forget that you're hungry and you're just sucking on it's like a mirage food yeah it's basically like you get the satiation or the feeling of but you're just it's like food from Hook someone's gonna suck on this too hard and it's gonna that's what I'm saying to the back of the throat they already warned people not to do that they really did they're like don't swallow the Rocks I wonder if there's a technique you know how like uh like all your parents like if you get like a big old like steak or ham or turkey or whatever they're like oh get that piece that piece is good I wonder if they like get the small rocks the flavor someone almost body for the small rock with a
