Ranking ASOIAF FOOD descriptions 😋 (w/@AltSchwiftX) (part 2)

Errata: - Bivalves (oysters, clams, and cockles!) are, of course, molluscs. I was too cephalopod-pilled to remember just how broad Mollusca is. Winkles are water-snails (as in periwinkle), also molluscs. - "Leche" is Spanish for "milk" (my mind got to Ducle de Leche and thought that was good enough, yum yum) but it's also an archaic term for like a strip of something. So it's a strip of beef. Still cooked in almond milk, so let's call it milk steak. - Pando is a clonal grove of quaking aspen, which is of course a plant. There is an enormous fungus (Armillaria ostoyae) in Oregon's Malheur National Forest though, the largest fungal colony in the world and by some metrics the largest organism on the planet. I think I got these two things muddled up in my little head. - Polar bear livers potentially contain a lethal amount of retinol, a form of Vitamin A. This is because their diets are by necessity incredibly fat-rich, and as Vitamin As are fat-soluble they build up great amounts, particularly in their livers. Polar bears have evolved a greater tolerance for Vitman A than humans, so what's normal for them can kill you. - In the books, Craster does die during the mutiny. Dirk kills him shortly before Ollo stabs Mormont. Another case of Glumboid's mind being poisoned by HBO. - Unlike some other foods, cheeses are typically too dense for molds to grow into the depths of, so cutting off the visible parts of the mold typically does remove the fungus. Not that you should be too worried; most molds that grow on cheeses are harmless to humans (again, unlike some other foods). - Liquorice is a plant unto itself, which has a long history of use as a flavouring and herbal medicine. My confusion was caused by the common use of anise in "liquorice" confectionaries, either to reinforce or substitute actual liquorice. Both plants, along with fennel, some other related plants, and the distantly-related star anise, feature anethole as a major flavour component. - Apparently a "clopen" is when you both closed your working establishment and opened it the next day. I hope you got paid well.

I'm imagining Glidus getting the chance to ask GRRM one question and it's: "How old is this rat?!"

I hope the next King makes it illegal to break laws.

You'd think the bastard jokes would feel tired by now but they still make me chuckle every time

if Edd didn't sound so bored he'd be as unhinged as Euron

Love this is how we keep the embers of this fandom stoked. Yeah no winds but shwifty and gilbus made more food content. Oh and what a joy, the food is asoiaf flavored!

im starting to think that glidus and schwift are living together

The rat cook story actually shows that what Wyman did was completely okay (at least in the eyes of the gods). Killing the Frey's and feeding them to their family in pies as revenge is fine, but breaking guest right isn't, which is why he gave them horses as parting gifts, so that he didn't commit the crime the rat cook (and the Frey's themselves) had commited.

Have they ranked Lady Hornwood's fingers yet?

It is absurd how much I enjoy listening to these 2 nerd out over anything to do with ASoIaF....

The most delicious ASOIAF thing I can think of is Glidus, who is a snack.

Glidus saying “Okay Google, I’m sad” resulted in my Google home replying “I wish I had arms so I could give you a hug”. Now I hope for more Google command easter eggs in future videos. :)

🎵Lemon cakes, boiled eggs and turnips with mushrooms Apples with honey and lampreys with muttons Pidgens and maggots and cooked human meat This are a few of George’s favorite things🎵

The Purple Wedding feast has been ranked and I was not disappointed. Mad feasting. Clothes and/or alcohol ranking would be cool. Lots of pisspots in this series.

Hobb's kitchen gets an instant S-Tier

Cheese actually doesn't get mold all the way through; typically, cheeses are too compact in their chemical makeup for mold to spread throughout. Cutting off the visibly moldy parts (with a few mills of margin) does get rid of it. In addition, the molds that grow on cheese, while they can taste bad, typically aren't bad for one's health, unlike say the mold on bread.

glidus clearly doesnt eat horse because hes afraid that he might end up eating a person

1:26:34 Leche is actually a french word for strips or slices. So GRR is describing slices of beef ala Fajitas.

I swear y’all must have a psychic connection with your viewers…last night, I was wondering “hey, when will Glidus and Schwifty make a part two of that food description tierlist?”

01:20:26 Alternative theory: It wasn't a sausage that Sam killed the white walker with; it was the knife, but only because it had a residue of garlic / sausage on the blade (GRR specifically said that Sam cut the sausages, which as you point out seems a dumb move for someone who is on the run). Imagine if this is true and this is the first time this theory has been made lol
