Great idea. To add to the berry list Salmonberries and huckleberries are local to my area.

I'm amazed you could eat noni... and then say you would try it again. I gag just thinking about that fruit. Its not typically eaten in areas that it grows unless there is nothing else available; for that reason another name for it is "starvation fruit". Its far more common as a medicine. Also that's wild you got your hands on a stinking toe, those are hard to come by. I got the powdered milk and cheesy taste for sure, but also a medicinal herb flavor. Making a smoothie is a great idea!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@wonderorsupergirl its supposed to help with the off taste you get with some chemo treatments. Ive been tempted to buy some to see if it would help with my problem. I lost a lot of taste, especially sweet flavors from radatiln on my mouth neck. So far zinc supplements help with supporting taste and while I can get a shot of sweet if the item is too sweet it like blows the taste buds out for about 10 minutes. The sweet flavor comes back but having to eat that slow to enjoy sweets is a pain. Now natural sweet things is better. Like melons or fruits as long as they are not a super sweet thing like figs I have a better taste of them. But savory and umami flavors are much better as time goes on. Ive learned too to alternate foods. I get a little bit of everything if I can(even dessert) take a bite of this, drink a bit of water, take a bit of that, water and so on. Much nicer to taste.

What do miracle berries do for people with chemo? Is it just that chemo can change your taste buds?

[@sharayalee3376]

@@zephramartin6632 so chemo targets fast dividing cells because that is essentially what cancer is. However other cells in our bodies also quickly divide and are completely normal like hair follicles (which is why chemo patients lose their hair) and cells in the mouth like tongue and inside of cheeks. Some patients get mouth sores or their taste buds change. Besides being nauseous, chemo can make food can have an have an unappetizing smell or taste. Personally, I was super aware of anything that had a bit of sourness, even sweet apples made me nauseous. On some days even instant mashed potatoes, the most bland thing I could think of, seemed to burn my mouth like it was spicy. I imagine the miracle berries help normalize already f-ed up taste buds, giving people an opportunity to eat more foods and therefore gaining more nutrition.

In the part of Thailand where I come from, noni fruits are not used as much as noni leaves. There is a casserole-like fish dish called "ho mok" (lit. wrapped and buried) made from fish fillets mixed with curry paste and eggs and them steamed. Traditionally, it is put in a banana leaf bowl and lined with noni leaves for extra flavours and also fibres. Noni leaves are more likely to be substituted by any green vegetables, mostly cabbages, these days.

Also, I have several fruits from Central America that you should try. If you like really tart and sour, go for mimbros, guindas, mamones, young green mangoes, arrayanes, and young green jocotes. If you like sweet flavor and creamy texture, we have zapotes, anonas, guanábanas and nísperos. I apologize I don’t know their names in English and I’m too lazy today to look for their scientific names. And we have many many more delicious fruits like mamey, granadilla, guayaba….. you should come to El Salvador. We’re blessed with a rich variety of fruits all year long.

[@Aevilbeast]

I knot at least Guanabana's are called by way less appetizing "Sour Sop" fruit. Also, Sapote is also commonly called "Soap apple". I think the Mimbros (Bimbli) is sometimes referred to as a "Cucumber Tree" (or at least the plant it comes from) or "Tree Sorrel"...The Anonas is known here as the "Sugar Apple", and Nisperos is called the "Loquat" or sometimes "Japanese Loquat". Lastly, the arrayanes is called in English "The Satre Guava" Hope this helps! It's just amazing all the virtually limitless amount of tasty and varies fruits that originate Central/South America.

love finger limes, in Australia they have dozens of different cultivars of these citrus, the best part is that they aren't just a rainforest fruit, in the same family of fruits are the Australian desert limes, Citrus glauca, almost identical in look and taste, and have those wonderful pearls of citrus flavour that bursts in the mouth, except they grow in dry climates, so are perfect for home cultivation, as they are incredibly hardy. We have them planted at our house in pot plants, and you can see them at many contemporary Australian restaurants now. Another great Australian ingredient you should test is the Lemon Myrtle, Backhousia citriodora, it is able to be sourced in powdered form, and adds a wonderful, aromatic, citrusy element to savoury or sweet cooking.

I'm not sure if this has been said before but I'm so glad to see your exotic fruits aren't just a bunch of asian fruits. It's so cool to see fruits from other cultures brought into the spotlight ❤❤

[@harshitaneppalli]

I love how scared they are to taste them. I needed a pick me up today, thanks for the video guys !!

[@kevinvaldez5163]

Here in Arizona, USA we harvest prickly pear cactus fruit from our cactus each year and turn it into jam.

[@monkeysnake77]

Ohhh, the miracle berries, we had so much fun with them. We mostly used them during a summer gettogether with loads of old friends in drinking challenges and trying different barbecues. The experience is a once in life time experience, considering how hard it is to get them. I would definitely like to try them in a more conventional setting though

[@auntlynnie]

5:20 When Baz said, “to health” before eating the noni fruit, it almost sounded like he said, “to hell.”

[@Anna_TravelsByRail]

“A taste bud journey…” Well… that’s one way to describe it.

[@AJSZodiac]

Ebbers should have said "A taste bud rollercoaster"

[@shinymuuma]

You're right about Thai eats the noni leaf, but we almost never eat the fruit lol. Even you tell me it has 100 times nutrients more than an apple you'll rather eat 100 apples any day.

[@dafthaggis]

Mike is on great form! Really liked that episode boys. Cheers

[@theuniquebean]

The politeness meter is through the roof on this episode. Gotta love these guys💕✨

[@andrehunter4062]

Well I'm from Jamaica and Noni is also called "Duppy Soursop" but we normally as you said pick it, ferment it and use it as a tonic. Stinking toe is grown locally here too

[@Tari004]

I just love the (ehem... not so) opening. A bit more mature but you still know it's the guys. Love it!!!

[@hotlavatube]

You should do a road trip to Hawaii island. The farmers markets there are phenomenal. I've had mangosteen, canistel, sapodilla (brown-sugar fruit), chocolate sapote, mamey sapote, jabuticaba, pulasan sibabit, rambutan, lychee, ice cream bananas, dragonfruit (both colors), passion fruit, jackfruit, soursop, starfruit, cacao pods (tastes lemony), longan, meyer lemons, and so much more. There's also dozens of varieties of bananas, papayas, and mangoes that you'll probably never see outside of the pacific islands.

[@jessicadavenport2808]

Stinking Toe for the ....win??? Love it!!!!!! The outtake description, 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍❤

[@HairyNun]

Someone somewhere refreshed this at 4 as well to see the new video. Hello.

[@reigngreyson4046]

🖖

[@darlouthia5153]

Yay Mike !! He’s been behind the camera quite a lot lately. Nice to see him front and center !

[@radsical1392]

So I know they’ve probably tried Jackfruit. But have you ever had the jackfruit seeds? If you take the seeds and roast them, then u just peel the shell off and eat them whole. They’re delicious. Almost creamy once roasted. We sometimes use them in a South Indian Sambar too. The jackfruit seeds are actually my favorite part of the jackfruit.

[@SortedFood]

Great tip - thank you! We haven't tried doing that before.

[@lancelindlelee7256]

Only ever tried the ripe fruit but they are delicious. In the Philippines, we make a spring roll filled with Plantain and Jack fruit, coated with brown suger while frying (making a slightly burnt caramel coating).

[@bradleypalmer7980]

Please try PawPaw’s!!! They’re technically an exotic fruit I think, but we grew up munching on as many as we could find.

[@ruylovato]

The stinkytoe fruit is also native from Brazil (It's called Jatobá around here). However only few people consume it in my region. Quite often you'll find a tree packed with it and the smell is nasty.

[@VLilica]

Ahh that's why it looked so familiar, I' ve only seen it on the tree. Here in Brazil there is also noni fruit, it's used for medicinal purposes in my region, but it's not very well known.

[@GilliganAU]

Aussie home cook here. I’ve used finger lime in pasta aglio e olio (with and without speck), in addition to the lemon juice, as an added pop of flavour.

[@gracewoodall19]

I've been watching you guys since I was 12 (I'm now 21 "lol") and you guys never fail to crack me up and brighten my day!! I always look forward to when you post :) So I just wanted to share my appreciation to you all and your team! :) Thanks guys

[@cynthiarussell4261]

Omg I laughed so hard when Mike said "inside of a vacuum cleaner". This was a great episode guys!

[@claireisacamel]

We have Pawpaws locally that are my favorite fruit! A menagerie of mangoes, pineapples, bananas, in a silky smooth fruit. Heaven!! (I’m from the south US)

[@fredriksahlstenglimmevi3259]

This was a brilliant episode guys. Love your curious nature. It’s not just a gag reaction video for the sake of KZbin views, it’s inspiring and fun. Love it.

[@noneofyourbusiness7094]

Hopefully you had a Epi-Pen handy in case Barry would find out he's allergic to something other than pineapple.

[@mymusings47]

Had the same thought!

[@violetskies14]

Oh Jesus forgot about that. Lucky he didn't.

[@sarahgael]

You should try Feijoa! They are super super popular in New Zealand and almost every other house has a tree in the garden, which means that when they are in season there are loads everywhere! I absolutely love them!

[@brandondavis7196]

Sounds like a Pass it On - Exotic Fruit edition, should be in store.

[@jazzbot7307]

Before lockdown in Australia I worked as a bar manager in a slightly upper class restaurant. I used finger limes in one of my cocktails with gin, grapefruit juice and Cointreau . Think Gin margarita. The Head chef also used them in his hay smoked scallop ceviche and a desert but I cant remember what desert it was. Super interesting fruit with lots of potential in the kitchen or bar!

[@crazypandafish]

I'm not sure if it would be considered an exotic fruit, but in parts of the eastern United States there is a fruit called a paw paw. They are delicate and have a texture similar to a banana and a flavor like a very mild mango. They are very yummy, but aren't typically in stores because of a short season, and they have very thin skin, so they bruise easily.

[@merlion6613]

Mike’s humour is absolutely on point ❤

[@cazzioc]

The look Jamie gave Mike when aphrodisiac was mentioned! 😂 😂

[@Kdp2theresq]

From the midwest USA, pawpaw fruit, hard to find, but absolutely delicious! :) Grew up learning to look for these on hikes! Thanks for the lovely video, always impressed by the willingness to try new things!

[@Jesper6068]

Time to tip the hat to the unsung hero - the video editor. Good lookin’ cut-aways with bright graphics 👍 Keep it up!

[@BVtok26]

When asked "what's the worst thing you're ever tasted?" Noni comes to mind straight away. Idk how you guys made it through. Also every summer pre-covid I had miracleberry get-togethers, always bringing new people in. My coworker and I finished off a bag of limes between the two of us. Other things to try, really dark chocolate, cream cheese (tastes like cheese cake), just a pitcher of lemon and water tastes like sweetened lemonade, cold brewed black coffee tastes extra smooth, strawberries taste like candy, 100% cranberry juice, pineapple, blackberries, it goes on and on. ...It's fall now and realized I've never tried fresh cranberries with it 🤔

[@Psychlopic]

Taste Testing/Pokerface Challenge: Weird Candy! Give the guys a selection of weird candies from around the world. I can recommend the Swedish candy Djungevrål as one of the entries. That first kick is bound to get reactions.

[@cjmkdolphin8443]

Ah Ben, so glad to see you show micro citrus. Been a fan since purchasing it for a store here in Canada. Love Australian fruits!

[@BernieTime1]

In my state of Michigan in the US, there is a native fruit called a "Paw Paw" that has a tropical flavor like a combination of Banana, Mango, and Pineapple

[@That_Coffee_Cat]

I really appreciate the way you acknowledged that these foods are regularly eaten in other places, even if they aren't to your palate. There are way too many videos out there of people gagging and overreacting at "disgusting" exotic foods.

[@Almostskilled]

Not gonna lie, i can't unsee a massive grub on a plate now, however.. Cheese ice cream is somehow a thing, and with an aftertaste of apple, i think it would be cool, to see it being used in some sort of Ice cream :D These videos are always a blast.

[@CocaBlock]

Your videos are both informative and entertaining. Keep up the excellent work!

[@Sarahleecookie800]

Video idea: try Trinidadian foods or fruits. Love the videos guys!

[@NotUnymous]

Exotic Fruit: Woodruff ! Its natural taste is one of the most unique and delicious flavoures I ever tasted ❤️

[@PokhrajRoy.]

There are Pros and Cons to this video: Con(s) - You don’t what you’re going to get and Ben is smiling in the corner. Pros - You get good food later, get educated about new fruits, learn a bit of geography and become meme fodder. Hence proved, The pros outweigh the cons 😂

[@my_dream_my_way259]

Videos with just you guys are the BEST! Finger lime is something familiar where I live but never heard of the other ones.

[@PhoebeGrigor]

Have you guys ever experienced feijoas? I know they’re kind of just a lower Southern Hemisphere thing, so I’d love to see what you think! Side note, I did a tour through the US with a bunch of Australians and other kiwis, and even the Australians thought I was describing a mythical fruit, but I just made the New Zealanders miss them 😂

[@vrakich]

Yes to feijoas! So yum IMO

[@lynnbean7200]

We had a feijoa shrub in our garden in London years ago.

[@elizabetheastman]

I haven’t laughed this hard all year… thanks guys!!! 😂😂😂😂 Sorted is Awesome. My favourite part was the rhubarb, notice that all the normals took a bite and Ben didn’t even get his bite off the stalk - just spit it out. 😂😂 epic.
