Pirates, pigeons, pegging.
That's what we do, baby, all right.
Pegging, pigeon, pirates.
Pigeons.
To understand the food of our present,
we must first understand the food of our past.
That's why we're recreating some of the most notable meals
throughout history, and today we're going back to a time
when walking the plank was all the rage.
2009 was a great year.
Actually, I'm gonna do that right now.
Can you do it on my back?
No, don't.
Walk my back.
I don't.
Walk my back.
Okay.
No, no, no, get off, get off, get off.
Why?
Wait, do you actually want me to walk on your back?
No.
Okay.
It was more for the bit.
What's back there?
My back and my something in my crack.
I fit it in again, yay!
Don't say fit it in when you talk about your back.
It's time for
Meals of History!
All right, Emily, today we are recreating food
that pirates ate during the golden age of piracy.
That was like the end of the 17th century,
and right here we have an authentic pirate artifact
that diagrams out one of the most famous foods of the time.
This looks like the same font
that my mom used for a baby shower.
Ah, your mother is a privateer, eh?
Yeah, I don't know.
But, you know, I like the spirit of what you're doing.
This isn't exactly an original artifact.
Wasn't a lot of stuff written down
back in the pirating days,
but this is an actual recipe
that was uncovered by historians from Port Royal, Jamaica.
It was a tavern that was very popular with pirates
when they finally docked,
and so this is a recipe for Salma Gundi.
It was like the ultimate pirate feast.
They would start their journeys with it
when all the food on the ships was fresh.
When they docked, this is what they eat.
It was just a giant mishmash of all the chopped fish,
shellfish, meats, whatever seabirds they could find.
They'd chop it up, hit it with spiced wine,
and then throw it in a giant cob salad situation.
So you couldn't take this with you on the ship.
This wasn't a to-go order situation.
No, this was like a I'm getting hammered at this port
for the next 36 hours before I just have to go get scurvy
and eat hardtack biscuits on a ship again.
That's what it was.
They were mostly eating dried goods, right?
The life of a pirate was tough.
You didn't have a lot of fresh vegetables
or fruits on there,
and you never really knew how long
you were gonna be out at sea.
And so when they feasted, they feasted hard.
So we're gonna recreate the samagundi faithfully
to this recipe.
We also got a couple other little things in store.
Ooh, surprises.
Yeah, they're not great,
because a lot of pirate food honestly wasn't that great.
I thought that food being eaten in the middle of the ocean
on a ship was supposed to be delicious and fancy.
Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you.
You go get dressed up and we'll cook something together.
How's about that?
I like how you sound when you're talking to get dressed up.
This is my pirate voice, Katie.
Don't do that now, bye.
Well, hello there, Mr. No Pants.
I have jorts on, technically.
Do I dress you as like,
Yar, matey, who be going there?
We're not doing any of that.
You know that accent you kind of hear
whenever you watch an HBO show that's in a fantasy world
and it's British, it's Australian, it's Irish,
it's all over the place?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what we're working with today.
You kind of sound like one of the Australian contestants
on Love Island.
I don't know that island, but it sounds pretty good.
Can I ask you who you are?
What's your name?
What's your story?
I'm Wavy Maeve.
Wavy Maeve, how'd you get that name?
I think it has something to do with the,
I got a touch of the spina bifida.
I mean, that speaks to a good point, right?
I feel like we romanticize the life of a pirate a lot.
You think it's all good times, buried treasure,
drinking rum, singing on a boat.
It sounds like it was a lot of crippling disease and pain.
Not for me, I was actually pretty healthy.
Just a spina bifida?
Just a spina bifida.
You look pretty upright.
They fixed your wavy Maeve.
No, it goes like this, not like that.
Are you an active pirate?
Well, at the moment, I'm kind of looking for a new ship.
Between ships, a bit of a gap on that pirate resume?
Well, I actually been sailing with a couple of ladies.
Mary Reed and Anne, they found me.
I was actually marooned on an island
because the last ship before that I was on,
they found out I was a woman.
And then I tried to talk about like equal opportunity.
Oh, tough, tough sledding.
And they were like, get out of here.
Yeah, things won't change that much.
But yeah, so Mary and Anne, they found me
and then they brought me on the ship.
Can I cook you some pirate food?
Oh, great, I was a cook on my ship.
Really?
So you must know all about hardtack then.
When you're a cook on a pirate ship,
you're mainly just also a surgeon.
Oh, yeah.
We just, we cut people's legs off.
That makes sense.
I think my hernia's back.
I can't help you, I can't cut off your whole,
I just cut things off, I don't cut things out.
Kind of similar to being a butcher.
Well, that's cool.
So we're gonna make hardtack right now.
You can't talk about pirate food
without talking about hardtack.
It's simple, two ingredients,
flour and water.
All you do is just mix this together
until it becomes a hard dough and then you bake it off.
The reason they would do this,
it's basically like the worst saltine you've ever had.
Forgive me if I'm wrong,
it would just break people's teeth
when they'd eat it, right?
Oh, yeah, I'm one of the very lucky ones
who has all their teeth.
That's good for you.
I always think that with my dental problems,
if I was on a pirate ship, just could not survive.
It would just be a shattered tooth and then I'd be done.
Then you'd just be like, let me cut out your tongue,
maybe that'll help.
No, I cut out your teeth.
You cut, you just cut.
No, I cut out your tongue.
I don't know.
I know the difference.
Excuse me, I'm wearing a pirate scrunchie
that will get in the way.
Is that the technical term, pirate scrunchie?
Yes.
There are many types of scrunchies
per character that I'm playing.
We've got yeti scrunchie.
We've got yeti scrunchie, we've got rat scrunchies.
All right, so hardtack,
it was literally just the most shelf-stable thing.
And this was typically like if you were on a long journey,
the hardtack was like the last thing left.
Yes.
It could be months on end
where all you're eating is hardtack.
And this is stuff that has like survived
a multi-continental several month long journey.
So often they would just be like infested with weevils.
If the barrel ever got wet or anything,
it would just mold them up.
Well, sometimes you eat the mold.
Yeah, I mean, you got to.
What else are you gonna do on a ship?
Drink.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Since seawater, obviously you can't drink.
I don't know if you can.
You tried?
I feel like a lot of people would have tried.
I mean, sometimes you get really thirsty
and so then you just kind of give it a go.
Yeah.
Like, nope, can't do it.
We've all been there.
Oh, most definitely.
We've all been there with Keystone Light at a party, right?
We're like, this seems like you should be able to drink it.
It was Keystone Light.
Oh, he's a famed pirate of the beer pong ship.
I like that.
Do you have any particular tips and tricks
to make an hardtack more palatable?
Not really.
I was just kind of whipping stuff together.
I wasn't a very good cook.
I would just kind of go up.
Here's some seeds.
Though it seems like you didn't have a lot,
food was not very plentiful, right?
No, not really.
Luckily, there was like a little mice and stuff
that would get on the ship.
Also, we had a lot of parrots.
You had a lot of parrots?
Yes.
Oh, that was a real thing.
You just eat the parrots?
Sometimes.
We mainly used them for trade.
Oh, interesting.
We liked to trade.
It was the exotic pet.
Game was very, very strong.
That has survived in Burbank.
Big exotic pet stores around here.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I can show you something.
It'd be nice.
Yeah.
All right, hold on.
So we're just gonna cut this into squares.
So hardtack, not only used by pirates,
but also by like armies.
Deep in the future,
so there's actually a civil war journal
that described the exact dimensions of hardtack
and it's two and seven eighths inches
by three and one eighths inches
and then a quarter inch thick.
I don't know if in the back,
in the day times,
we use the metric system or not.
But I'm going to pretend that I know what inches are
for the sake of this video.
I feel like you probably did.
Are you British?
What's your original country?
Where are you coming from?
I told you this is a standard HBO fantasy accent.
I'm probably from Luxembourg or something.
Right, and if this actor was doing an accent in true blood,
it would sound like,
hi y'all, I'm in true blood.
This is how people talk.
You know what's really funny though?
So like, even if they're showing like an old timey thing,
if it's like an ancient Roman show,
they'll still have the weird British accent.
I know.
And I thought that was weird
until there was this movie with Channing Tatum
about Roman centurions and they all had American accents
and I could not watch it for more than eight minutes.
I don't know.
Did you see Alexander the Great?
No.
Okay, so like Angelina Jolie has
like a Transylvanian accent.
It makes no sense.
You gotta go just universal.
You just gotta kind of British.
Half pirate.
Kind of pirate, kind of Irish, kind of Australian.
We're gonna bake those till they're just done
and there's no more moisture left in them
and then we're gonna shatter our teeth trying to eat them.
Is that all we're doing?
A little bit for now.
Okay, cool.
Can we drink?
Where's the grog?
All right, so I think that-
Hello!
Where did you get, was that grog?
It is grog.
Where'd you find grog?
I always know where the grog is.
Well, good for you.
It was below deck.
Would you like to go down there with me and get your own?
Grog you say?
It was Irish that time.
Did you hear it?
Where's me grog donkey?
Ah, groggy.
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
I found my phone.
All right, so here we go.
Just-
Ooh, nice and dusty.
That's what you want.
You want the dusty hardness.
Again, this is subsistence food.
This isn't meant to taste good.
The life of a pirate is rough.
None of you could read.
You know, it was just-
Who told you that we can't read?
Wait, did you get formal schooling?
What was going on?
Well, I did because my father actually was a,
he was literate.
Good for you.
We weren't rich, but he was,
he was actually the local pastoral popper.
Did you do the leech people?
Were you a big leech family?
We did leeches, yes,
but it was mostly like if you had pastrals or boils.
We'd lance them for you.
Yeah, mostly lance and just a little bit of leeching.
Maybe we should charge people to come watch.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Even if there's a market for that.
I'll tell you, you should start a YouTube channel,
Dr. Pimple Popper.
Do you all know that joke that I'm making
about Dr. Pimple Popper?
In a pirate setting.
God, that is so scary.
I'm sorry, so I'm trying to bash up this hardtack
so we can turn this into porridge.
Because, of course, as you know,
people will take the hardtack,
it'd be too hard to physically eat,
because I mean, this is just really tough.
Ow.
It's hot?
And so they would boil it into a porridge.
So I'm just gonna take this
and just really bash the heck out of it.
We're just gonna take it and just, ow,
and just crack it into there.
And so you take it and just like a hard cracker
and boil it into porridge.
And then they would actually flavor it with rum
because there was just rum in everything y'all ate.
Y'all just were just drunk constantly, right?
Well, yes.
I guess that's the way to deal with anything in life.
That never changed.
Definitely made you a lot more confident.
Yeah.
In, you know, pillaging and such.
Was that mostly what you did though, pillaging?
No, I'm more of a, I don't know,
I don't really like violence.
I participated, but I mainly just got things
by asking nicely.
Ah, and people were receptive to that?
Yes, after I told them that I like had a sword.
Yeah, I guess.
I was like, hey, give me your stuff.
And they'd be like, no.
And I'd be like, I got a sword.
And they'd be like, oh, here you go.
I feel that, I feel that.
If there was one misconception
that people have about pirates today,
like you have an audience right now.
Tell them what you want them to know about pirates.
Big misconceptions.
Number one, we don't wear the eye patches
because our eyes are missing.
It's hard to have depth perception in the dark.
I thought it was like Nellie with the Band-Aid.
What is Nellie with the Band-Aid?
Nellie with the, Band-Aided Nellie was a pirate.
Oh, I don't know her.
Oh, you don't know her?
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm more of a Grace O'Malley fan.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa, what?
Listen to him now.
That's what he would say
when he would board people's ships.
Wow.
Oh, Band-Aided Nellie.
That's a lot longer than Shiver Me Timbers,
which we do not say.
What is, where does that come from?
Disney.
Nah.
You're not seeing any of that Disney money.
No, I'm not.
Not seeing any Disney either.
Give Wavy Mave a movie.
As I was alive in 1700s.
There's so many.
All right, we just got to boil this off a little bit more.
You see, it's kind of, oh, it's terrible.
It's kind of, it's getting there.
It looks bad.
It's like cereal.
It's like grape nuts, but on a ship.
I don't like it.
What else are you gonna eat?
You're gonna eat your parrots?
Nah, you eat the hardtack porridge.
I bet that they probably did that.
They didn't keep the parrots, though.
There was actually one famous pirate.
Nobody really had a pet.
They usually got rid of it.
They sold it.
I read a bunch of pirate manifestos
that were talking about eating flamingos.
What?
Yeah, there was this one pirate.
He would just go around
trying to eat all the most exotic animals he could eat.
He was eating penguin eggs.
He was eating flamingos.
He ate manatee.
And then he did some other stuff to manatees.
And then he also was the first person
to use the English word guacamole.
Wow.
This guy would do very well in Paris
during the Franco-Prussian War.
Callback.
So from what I'm understanding, right,
your pirating strategy,
you'd go up to people in the villages
and just be like, hey, it'd be pretty cool
if you could give me all your stuff.
Mostly we would go find other merchant ships
and we'd attack those ships.
And then you'd just be like-
And then we'd take all their stuff.
Ah!
Ah, and then they'd-
They'd just, well, we'd attack them
and then we'd fight them.
Ah, okay, that makes sense.
Yeah, yeah.
So right now we're making like,
this is the ultimate pirate feast celebration.
This is called Salmagundi.
It looks like salmonella.
You have salmonella
because that sash or whatever
has been touching all that raw chicken.
I know!
Oh no!
My sash!
That's a death sentence on a pirate ship.
They're gonna have to chop off all sorts of your limbs.
I guess you'd have to chop off your own.
Yep.
But no, Salmagundi was like the big ass,
why did I say big ass all of a sudden?
Salmagundi was like the big meal
that they would start the voyage with.
So this is basically whatever they had,
they would chop up,
they'd dunk it in a bunch of wine,
roast it off,
and then just make a giant salad out of it.
So that's what we're doing.
Wow, so pirates just want-
Don't worry.
You wanna take a couple hacks?
I'm a pirate who doesn't like splash.
Seems like it'd be tough.
Whoa, this is a huge knife.
Yeah, yeah, start whacking at that chicken.
Hey Josh, why are there big butcher knives
and then little butcher knives?
The little butcher knives are the ones-
Stop!
Shut the hell up!
Stop freaking yelling!
I hate you!
This is a nice establishment!
We're at a Chili's!
That's a great question, Wavy Maeve.
So the small butcher knives,
so you can get in between the little joints
are typically flexible,
and the big butcher knives,
so you can hack through bone.
Okay.
Yeah, so start hacking through them chicken bones.
Really?
Yeah, just give it a big ol' whack.
What I'd say, try and cleave this chicken in half,
right down the center,
make sure all your limbs are clear.
Maybe back up a little bit.
There it goes, yeah!
You did it!
Whoa, it wasn't in the middle.
You like really nailed it though.
Yeah, thank you!
Yeah, you kinda gotta like,
kinda hack through the rib meat
and the breast plate a little bit.
Why so splashy, Josh?
Yeah, we got a lot of salmonella over here.
Yikes!
So yeah, just gonna kinda give it a couple hacks.
Just cleave it however you can.
Go right through the spine.
Are you in the splash zone?
No, not yet, not right now.
So we're just gonna hack up the chicken.
Then we'll just kinda layer everything in there.
You wanna splash the fish?
You want me to do it?
This is gonna be a big splashy one.
Okay, how do you, okay, I'm interested
in how you cut a fish up. So it's a really
interesting technique.
What you do is, so the way you cut a fish up.
You just kinda give him one of those.
Ain't no wrong way to do it, you know what I mean?
We're actually following a recipe that we found
from a port tavern in Jamaica from 1712.
Port Royal?
It was Port Royal, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool, I Googled that.
You're familiar?
I mean, I hung out there.
Yeah, I hung out there.
But yeah, this is like a literal recipe
that was written down in a book about pirate history
from 1722, but the recipe's from 1712.
And it was literally like ham and salt pork
and like any type of fish that they had.
They would put shellfish in there.
And so it was literally a thing that was so popular
on pirate ships.
Black Bart, when he was captured,
was super hungover feasting on Salmagundi
when the British Navy finally captured him.
So this was good for a hangover?
Yeah.
Why, you got one?
I don't know, just always looking for new tips and tricks.
My current hangover food is mostly salt and vinegar Pringles
and ginger ale.
I got bacon on my shoes.
I think it'll be fine.
This is probably as close to a poop deck
as it's gonna get.
Yeah, that's pretty fair.
We got a bunch of like whipped cream on this floor.
You did?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's still sticky.
You can still kind of smell it.
Oh, you're right.
Yep, and so now we're just gonna salt and pepper this
because Salmagundi literally, Sal meaning salt.
And so it actually has the same root word as like salami
because there's a lot of preserved meats.
They would just salt, grab a swig of that wine
and just like chuck it all over this.
This is what they do.
They would marinate the meats in wine
and then they would take any vegetable,
any sort of pickles, any sort of dry sack.
Why did you pick this?
Oh, that's actually my pirate name.
It's Josh Dry Sack.
Wavy Maeve and Dry Sack.
It's an ironic nickname because a sack's always wet.
Oh no.
Should've called him Moist Sack.
This is looking pretty good though.
Wait, this is wine?
It's like orange.
It's so cherry.
So this is actually a fortified wine.
One of my favorite things is just drink casually.
Yeah, that should be enough.
And then this is literally just gonna flavor the meats,
but I already have one roasting in there
and we got some extra special treats in it.
Oh, when you say treats, I know it's not a treat.
Pot brownies.
Oh, okay.
Oh, it's a hefty, it's a hefty platter.
What is that?
Yeah, so this is a pigeon.
This is just an honest to God pigeon.
Smell it, it smells like wine.
Oh, that's adorable.
It's a lonely life.
We got it from a, we got a pigeon guy.
You've got a pigeon guy?
Yeah, I wouldn't call him a hunter.
He's more like a pigeon wrangler, you know?
Because a hunter implies he has a gun,
but a pigeon wrangler just kind of runs around Burbank
with a little net.
Oh, a little net?
Yeah.
I bet he's really popular.
No, these are food pigeons.
These are squab, these are wild hunted from Scotland.
And then we got all the rest of the stuff.
We got our ham, we got some other little tiny fish.
Again, they would just put whatever in there.
Like I said, we have this actual recipe
from 1712.
We shall consult it.
Add the meats to boiled, chopped cabbage,
anchovies, pickled herring, mango, hard boiled eggs,
palm hearts, onions, olives, and grapes.
Add pickled, chopped vegetables and garlic,
chili pepper, mustard, salt, and pepper,
and serve in a mound upon a large dish.
We have our large dish.
All right.
We have all the ingredients.
Let's get to doing it.
You wanna start chopping these up into smaller bits?
Oh.
I'd say like, you know, hit this into thirds,
but I wanna keep that head intact
because I'm eating that eyeball.
You're gonna eat that eyeball?
I'll fight you over the squab eyeball.
Oh, okay.
Not a lot of detail in recipes from 1712 exactly,
but I'm guessing with the chili pepper,
the garlic, and the mustard,
they're probably making some sort of like dressing.
So I'm just gonna like grate some of this garlic
into a dish.
There it is.
Really give it a hack.
Really smoky.
The butcher of the seven seas.
Even a lot of the explorers that we learn about in school,
like they were just actual pirates.
Like Sir Francis Drake, an explorer,
was just an illegal pirate until I believe he was knighted.
Here you go, buddy.
I'm just gonna put this in your pot.
Oh.
I've got me bird.
There you go.
That's good.
Good bird.
So a lot of these pirates were going to these like
exotic locales where they were only eating like British
or Western European food,
and then they were actually like, you know,
dining on really cool things they'd never seen before.
It's like the word barbecue literally came from a pirate.
The word guacamole came from a pirate.
How though?
I don't understand.
Yeah, see, like literally what it says.
So barbecue, the term, it's a,
I believe barbacoa comes from an Arawak word.
Oh.
Which is like from the West Indies
in an indigenous language.
And so we literally turned that into the word barbecue.
And then over the next 500 years,
now you go to Chili's and get your barbecue chicken sandwich.
So a lot of history was kind of formed by these pirates.
And again, a lot of them were just like terrible people.
No offense, no offense.
Like you had a hard life.
You had a hard job, you know.
By the way, I'm totally committing
just to the pirate voice now.
The other ones are too hard.
So we got vinegar, we got mustard.
We're gonna make like a little bootleg vinaigrette.
So I'm just putting this in a pile, you said.
Well, hold on.
And let me get some chopped cabbage down here.
Okay.
I'm just gonna arrange the chopped cabbage around,
and then you're gonna use the chopped cabbage as a base.
This is just boiled and chopped.
But is cabbage like, what is, is it good for you?
I don't know.
Is it good for digestion?
Like why cabbage?
I like it.
But yeah, it's got fiber in it,
and it's cheap and it lasts for a long time.
So that's the thing.
Cabbage will last you weeks in your fridge,
whereas lettuce goes bad.
So hence pirate food, cabbage.
All right, okay, hold on.
Let me get some vinaigrette over this cabbage.
Hack up some more mates, here.
We'll start arranging the meats around.
But there's bones.
Yeah, we'll eat the bones.
Oh no.
I'm gonna start arranging all the insane ingredients.
There was just olives, mangoes, grapes,
bunch of pigeons.
Argh!
There you go.
Bunch of hearts of palm,
like we're at the damn Foca de Chal.
Oh, this looks just like the tiny first mate
that I had to help out one day.
I was like, eh, you don't need that.
And then I would be the one who made
the little fake legs for them out of wood.
I would fashion it.
I'd kind of carve it up.
I'd call it pegging.
Oh yeah, pegging.
No, no, that's the same as what it means today.
Yeah, yeah.
Really?
They carried on my tradition?
Your pegging tradition.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah, pegging is alive and well.
I like to peg.
Yeah, try pegging.
Give pegging a try.
Why not?
Yeah.
All right, I'm pretty happy with this.
This looks pretty dank.
All right, can I take a couple swings here?
Yes.
Let me just start hacking up.
Got a big old chicken breast right there.
There we go.
Here we go.
Just give it a nice little schwack.
We're gonna pop that back in there.
Why?
No, no reason.
Oh, it's not.
No reason.
We can't go back to chicken
after eating that delicious pigeon.
We are pigeon pirates only.
So we're just gonna,
pirates, pigeons, pegging.
That's what we do, baby, all right.
Pegging pigeon pirates are pegging.
Now we're just gonna stack that up on here.
They said put it in a large mound on a dish.
Speaking of pegging.
Yeah, go ahead.
Did you know that pirates were mostly gay?
No way.
They were a little, a dabble, a little of both.
Gay, straight, it's all love on a boat, baby.
Manatee, who cares?
We're all in there for a good time.
Pigeons just, pigeons, pirates.
They didn't have labels back then.
They didn't need labels.
It's all free love, man.
Keep chopping up these meats.
Oh no.
Welcome to the cooking show.
But it's true.
I didn't really get to have a lot of boyfriends
because they weren't really interested in me.
Wait, really?
That's like actually true though?
I found out that they were very open about it
because it was something that was punishable by death then,
but so was being a pirate.
Yeah, so you might as well.
Live your life.
Probably attracted a lot of people
just like trying to, you know,
find freedom of expression in many ways.
Right?
That looks like hell.
I don't think so.
I think it looks pretty great, man.
There's a, I keep stepping on a chunk of ham.
Yeah, put the floor ham on there.
No, it's got some hair.
There's hair on the ham.
I feel like we should garnish it with something.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
There you have the Salmagundi.
All right, wavy Maeve, the pegger with spina bifida.
That bucket is used for other things
where I'm from, but okay.
No, it was used for that too.
We just gave it a little.
Oh boy, it's the slop.
Whap us up some of that hard tack and rum porridge.
You have that slop first.
I guess if it's like between this
and just breaking your teeth
on some gross saltines filled with maggots, I'll take this.
It smells nice.
It's cooked in rum.
It still smells like rum.
So you can chew on your drunk.
This is like the vodka soaked gummy bears
of the golden age of piracy.
I don't know what that is.
I'm from the 1700s, Josh.
You wanna eat this slop, boy?
Yes, I do.
Okay, let's, this is real sloppy.
I'm very excited.
I get why they say that now.
It eats like oatmeal and it's getting you drunk,
which pirates were all the time,
just to cope with the PTSD, my God.
Yeah, this is problematic oatmeal.
This is what this is.
We got bone soup.
Oh, cool.
After you ate all the meat with the Salmagundi,
they would just boil the bones.
They were way ahead of Gwyneth Paltrow
on the collagen phase, am I right?
Yeah.
Oh, we use the, oh, we do this.
Oh, I mean, that's a, oh, that's a delight.
Oh, we're like halfway to faux.
Ooh, I like that.
Oh, okay.
How do we eat the meat, though?
Okay, it's mostly bones and cartilage.
Yeah, yeah.
But it makes a pretty tasty and wholesome broth.
It is delicious.
And again, we got beef jerky back there
because once all the fresh stuff was gone
with the Salmagundi, you were just on jerky.
Beef chest.
But should we get into this now?
I guess.
So the way to eat it is you just kind of grab
fistfuls of things you wanted.
Do you want the head?
No, you already said that you really wanted that.
So, oh.
Grab some.
Oh God, the sound.
This is the worst ASMR.
It's good.
I mean, it's roasty, toasty.
You taste it.
Emily, come on.
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
What are you doing?
Grab a little fish nugget.
Okay, I like.
I'm gonna take a pigeon breast.
Oh, this looks really good.
Yeah, grab a little fish tail.
Watch out, there's a lot of bones in that.
You're gonna wanna try and bite off the fillet
off the spine and suck the bones out of it.
Okay.
The pigeon breast is really good.
I'm gonna go ahead and get some egg
and some pickles in here.
I wanna know it.
This is how I wanna eat.
I love this,
it's like a choose your own adventure novel, right?
Let's do the real meat.
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and just suck off this sardine.
What?
Well, this has been great.
Unfortunately, I would like to have your show, please.
No, come on.
I know you're all blood.
I have a knife.
I have a knife, I have a knife, I have a knife.
Ah!
No!
Take that, you pegging scallywag!
No, my mutiny did not go as planned.
Mutiny scoundred.
That's not a word.
I don't care, we've said it.
Ah, you win, sir.
