The puns in this one were spot on. Horse meat: yay or neigh?😂😂

Collin was holding onto that "horse d'oeuvres" joke from the second he found out it was on the menu

In the Southern U.S., people do eat brains and eggs. Also, I was told that years ago when people butchered a hog, they ate everything but the squeal.

Blá's hair becoming increasingly disheveled as the video goes on is a perfect visual representation of how done she is with the puns. 😂

Seamus and Graeme were hilarious Everybody's face eating the pork brains had me in hysterics

There are few moments that have made me happier than Seamus in this video. His description of sea lion damn near killed me....

Being Canadian, bear, moose, and deer are rather common when in season (and moose meatballs in your tomato sauce over pasta is deeeelicious), but I think the 'weirdest' thing I've ever had was conch when in Florida. It was the appetizer prior to shark steak, both of which were lovely. To be fair though, they were fresh, I don't know if I could do tinned weird meat. My hat's off to you all, you're braver than I.

The calcium-rich properties of milk react with enzymes in the meat to gently soften the proteins ...

This gave me an idea for a game suggestion........."Stuff on Toast". They have to guess what the stuff is on their toast pieces, and if they guess wrong, they have to do some kind of punishment.

For future reference: Never tell them what they're eating beforehand. Surely, a guessing game would be even better content. 😂

When I was a kid my grandfather butchered a lot of goats and my brother and I helped him. After every goat we butchered my grandfather would remove the brains and take them inside and have brains and eggs. Most customers were either Muslim or Hispanic, and we did a brisk business. The customers would arrive and pick the goat they wanted, my brother and I would go in the pen catch it and tie it up and carry to the truck, we would process it right then in front of the customer. Interesting thing was for the Muslims it took a while because the prayer rug would come out and the goat would be blessed and we would have to go through this whole thing to make sure all the blood was removed before processing it.

"Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat" is a good book about human society's relationship with animals and animals as food.

In 1979, me and two of my sisters came over from Canada, to see our relatives in England, and do the backpacking/hitchhiking thing in Europe. The whole time we were there, the ONLY good steaks we had were thanks to a wonderful couple in the Champaign district of France, who served us horse steaks! My father was a very adventurous person when it came to food, possibly stemming from an incident he told me about in the 1930s, when he tried to join the International Brigades fighting fascism in Spain. To get to Spain, my father got over to France then rode the rails to the Spanish border, only to be rejected because of his age (he was 15). On the trip back to England, Dad found himself broke but stuck in a rail car filled with turnips! While not starving, being forced to eat raw turnips really sucked. Dad joined the RAF in 38, and survived as a midtop gunner in a bomber through the war, immigrating to Canada in 49, where he met my mother on the Manitoba prairie. Mom was the youngest of her family, born in a tiny rail spur village, and was never allowed near their big old wood stove, so never learned to cook. Dad had to teach her, and she became quite decent at some things by the time I was born. Dad did the fancy and exotic dinners. Having 8 kids, Dad, and my older brothers hunted and fished, so we always had lots of different meats, not just squid or octopus but sweetbreads, calf brains, homemade head cheese (yes, whole pig head pickled and jelled), and homemade corned beef. Because of this, I have the "I'll try ANYTHING once" attitude. While in a mountain warzone in Nicaragua, in the 80s, I ate an iguana and a couple snakes (those effin rib bones suck!). About 15 years ago, in the local bar, I did 2 "Caesar Nut Shooters" (that is, a shot of Clamato juice, vodka, hot sauce, and a raw calf testicle in a shot glass) to win a couple of free drinks. The free drinks I drank while sampling different ranchers' fried calf nuts. We have a lot of farmers, ranchers, and oil field workers around this part of Alberta who like exotic meats, to support a bar and restaurant in the little town of Czar, Ab, where you can get crock, alligator, emu, kangaroo, and more! What I have NOT done is like stuff out of a can! The taste and texture of calf brains or sweetbreads, dredged in egg, then flour/spice mix, then fried in butter! Brains, sweetbreads, and testicles (which is kinda not that surprising, as so many men only think with their balls.) all taste very close, and I can't see how they could be anything but gross after canning!

Good thing you found the bear bearable.

Here in the US, we do make bison meats into burgers. We also eat beer meats. Albeit, it's rather rare to see either. I've had bison here in Pennsylvania. It tasted like a quite processed frozen patty. It could've just been that example, though. Same thing with deer meat. That was actually leaner, and more tender than cow meat. I quite like it!

'This is the TRY Channel!" As always, Bla puts things into proper perspective. Love me some Bla!

The 3 Bears had fallen on hard times, but they were hungry. so they looked under all the seat cushions and found a few dollars worth of change, and they went to the grocery store. They disccovered that they had enough for three cans of Pork Brains, which they bought. when the got home, Mama Bears said "I'll cook a can". she opened the can, and put it in a baking dish. she put a honey and brown sugar glaze on it with some butter, and baked it at 350 degrees for 1 hour, and every 15 minutes she would open the oven and spoon some of the seasoned butter over the top. She brought it out, sliced it and served everyone a slice. everyone tried it, and....... It Was Horrible!! Papa Bear said "I'll cook the next one". He opened the can and put it in a baking dish. He added minced onion and some garlic to it, and added a little water, then covered it with foil and baked it at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. every 20 minutes he would open the foil and spoon the liquid over it, then recover and bake. He brought it out, sliced it and served it. Everyone took a bite and..... It Was Horrible Too! At this point Baby Bear said "Screw this!", and he took the last can into the kitchen. He dumped the contents of the can onto a baking dish, threw it in thew oven. he spun the temp dial to some number, and went and played X-Box till he remembered the food. He brought it out, sliced and served it to everyone. They all tried it and.... It Was Wonderful!! The moral of this story is: a mind Is A Terrible thing To Baste.

This past week, someone made moose tacos (with moose he’d hunted) at my boyfriend’s work, and then everyone started sharing the weirdest meat they’d eaten. This is eerily timed. (Also, I knew Gráinne had horse girl energy. Don’t ask me why. It’s undefinable.)

I'm so proud of them and applaud them for having the courage to eat the brains. Way to commit to your job.

The Rose pork brains in milk gravy are made in a town just down the road from me in Sanford, North Carolina. I’ve never tried them and they aren’t exactly on my bucket list 😆

I thought that when I unknowingly ate whale meat (in fish paste form) while in Japan, that it couldn't get any worse (because they're one of my favorite animals). Gráinne reacting to the horse meat was basically how I reacted too 🥲 Japan I love you, but some of these food things are just... T-T

For people wondering Yes it needs Milk, Brains when cooked need to be poached in milk to get rid of the sliminess and certain flavors.

I absolutely love bison. Only had it twice, but both times it was fantastic. Pretty hard to find in California

Where I live in rural North Carolina, there are a surprising amount of people that do not eat meat out of the store at all as there's plenty of meat available in the fields, and forests. On the menu are deer, bears, rabbits, raccoons, wild hogs, ducks and geese. Go a hundred miles east and you can add gators too!

LOVE these videos because I get to experience new things through you all! 😂😂 Hope everyone at the Try Channel are safe from yesterdays travesty in Dublin.😢💔

watched the vid. I have had them all but pig brains. Out of the ones I've had listed in order of preferance.. 1.Bear, a mix taste wise of beef and pork,gotta cook it well though,trichinosis potential if not..super tasty 2.Seal yep,like beef and salmon mixed together,very rich in flavor 3.Horse,more or less a very lean beef,also needs to be cooked well,again there's a risk of trichinosis..it was ok.

Pork brains should be fried with scrambled eggs or deep fried on a bun. It's a regional dish in Evansville Indiana.

horse meat is sold in some supermarkets or butcher shops here.(Québec, Canada). it looks darker than beef and is much leaner. Game meat can also be bought in specialty meat shops.

Collin's puns are fantastic. He is so good at them.

Not a very adventurous eater, but I’ve had horse sashimi. In my youth, I hunted and ate squirrel and rabbit, plus once had the opportunity to eat gator, caribou and rattlesnake. Of course, deer hunting and venison is a staple in my family.

Getting up to speed on what's happened in Dublin City. I know the producers upload videos well in advance but I sincerely hope everyone is safe and sound regardless. Please be careful and know that your wellbeing is important to well over a million people from all over world. May the "best of luck" and "goodness sake" be with you Ireland.

Sounded like the horse meat was definitely a Trigger for Grainne, and Sea Lion was not a mane attraction either. The Pork Brains looked absolutely mental, but Bear was the polar opposite.

2:17 "i've never had to eat the same meat as my pet" ... Nor would you ever want to.

I had alligator many years ago….and I can STILL remember the taste! 😋

I hope someone is able to send them a can of Rocky mountain oysters to try. If there is such a thing.

There is a place in South Elgin, IL that makes jerky from bear, moose, alligator, elk, and venison, by now it may even have wild pig.

Bear is delicious, but you have to worry about Trichinosis.

Where I’m from pig brains and scrambled eggs are a delicacy. In parts of Missouri a fried pig brain sandwich is common. Don’t think I’d eat them straight from the can though! 😄

The majority of people today are not learning anything from the history lessons that are taught in school. Mainly because not much of history is taught. One example is that, during WW-II, horse meat was sold in the markets so that beef could be given to the soldiers in Europe. Another tidbit is that bear meat, usually springtime black bear, is often hunted by those living and surviving on the land.

I had a bear steak once. Wasn't bad - just had to make sure it is cooked right.

You can get fried alligator meat in my area. I've had some good horse. Italians make fabulous cold cuts out of horse; Mortadella di cavallo for example. The strange thing is the majority of horse meat served in the world is exported from the U.S., where it can't legally be served.

Well done guys, during my time in the military part of it was when dealing with the native bush population if invited to eat you did so and didn't ask what was in the pot. LOL

The label on the can says stewed seasoned beef with "horse meat flavor"

This is the episode I’ve been waiting for! The suspense!

I was really hoping one of the tryers would quote The Big Lebowski and say, “Sometimes you eat the bar…sometimes the bar eats you.”

Pork Brains in a can, that I haven't seen. Normally get them from the butcher. My mother loves having scrambled eggs and brains for breakfast.

Seeing the terrible activities in Dublin yesterday, I hope everything with the Try'ers and their families are OK.

The only part of a camel that Ive eaten was the toe.

This was the funniest episode I've seen in a while. Thanks for making me laugh.

P.U… tough ep… Seamus saved it as always with graham, was thanking god the sonic screw didn’t do a impression/silly voice until I heard the dude who runs the show with the big red face chime in

I've never tried croc, but I've had gator. It's good, although it tastes like chicken and smells like fish. Confused the hell out of my nose! Rattlesnake wasn't my favorite, but it's edible. Bear is greasy. My favorite was moose. That was good. Elk too. I don't think I've tried anything truly exotic. I'd like to try ostrich, musk ox, reindeer, or animals like that.

i eat rosies brains and milk every week and if you scramble it with eggs like we do here in the southern us it is wonderful

In Sweden we eat bear meat, moose meat, wild boar meat, reindeer meat, seal meat. Taste great is one of the best meat products you can eat because they are made in nature by themselves without preservatives.

Their reactions were hysterical! One of the funniest videos I've seen on the channel

Feels like a late Halloween Special. Some brave people there.

Try'rs y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace

I wish one of the Tryers had said the nutritional information for the pork brains as the cholesterol amount always amazed me. Here it is as the daily recommended intake: Total Fat 5g. 8% Saturated Fat 2.5g. 13% Cholesterol 3190mg. 1063% Sodium 500mg. 21% Total Carbohydrates 9g. 3% Protein 14g.

the 'who would you like to have a beer with' ends with Seamus. seems like the best guy to have as a drinking buddy at the pub. so full of Irish merriment.

One of the top ten try videos for sure!

I kept waiting for SOMEONE to reference the Bear's "SMOKEY" Flavor!

My Nana used to eat the pork brains when I was a kid. I asked her what they tasted like. She said they tasted like sausage with bits of bone in it.

Milk in cereal is nice and traditional but try a nice cold brew mocha next time. Keeps the kids going all day.

A few years ago in Sedona, Arizona, I had Rattlesnake sausage at a restaurant. It was a little tough but otherwise just kind of like dry chicken

I just love all these people.

Two possible jokes for the brains segment: "What are we, Zombies?" and "Where's the Scarecrow, we got some brains for him?"

Seamus I love the purple and green shirts.

Seán's comment about hairless bear got me. 😆

Two of the best voices finally work together : Seamus and Graeme.

As a southerner in the states with family in the Appalachian areas pork brains and eggs is pretty normal. I personally love them breaded and fried with a nice mustard sauce for dipping.

9:57 - Colin pulls a bad Dad joke on Blaíthin.

I WAS drinking a latte while watching this...as soon as the pig brains in milk came out, though the latte was thrown out 😂

When I was a chef, vendors used to bring us all kinds of exotic meats in attempts to get us to buy them: Alligator, rattlesnake, ostrich, elk, you name it. The only one I found unpalatable was frog.

LOL. I've had a running joke for decades in which I call horses SPERs (self-propelled emergency rations). I hope that the bear was properly cooked. They compared it to a cow, but it's actually more like a pig because both can have parasites in their muscles that cause trichinosis.

My grandfather regularly ate pork brains for breakfast, scrambled with eggs and served on toast. He also used that specific brand when he didn't have any fresh from our farm. Bear was pretty common on the table, too. Usually in Brunswick stew along with venison.

If you want it snappy, you should order a rubber band sandwich.

During Vietnam they often fed us horse. Any day they chow hall was running a special hamburger day you knew what is was going to be. Not to bad a lot redder than beef but ground into burgers and being hungry you did not ask or care

I have seen canned bear and canned wolf in Helsinki airport twice now 👀

So the brains being in milk. The primary reason a meat variety would be in milk is because it tends to draw.whatever residual blood is in the tissue out and helps ensure that it can be cooked to a safe level without over cooking. It's actually a great idea when cooking raw chicken especially full hindquarters where bones may affect its ability to fully cook through. It's a fairly common practice in US restaurants to soak or "brine" chicken in milk or buttermilk overnight. Several of the restaurants I worked at where we did broasted chicken used this method

Grainne , don't think of it as riding your horse next time , think of it as tenderizing the Sunday roast. Aidan, surly that's not the first time you've tasted a bear. Another great show.

In Australia we do have options to eat Kanagroo, emu and crocodile. Kangaroo tastes like roast beef and emu does have this oil that if you eat enough of it you do start to smell like an emu. Crocodile tastes like chicken all very tasty

I can only wonder how many horse puns Colin didn't get to use. I can imagine him waving the Tryers out the door after filming, his eyes falling on his list of horse puns, picking it up and looking at all the unused ones with a sad sigh, then crumpling it and throwing his jacket over one shoulder before walking out the studio door with his head down as sad music swells in the background,

If you don’t have a problem eating pigs and cows and sheep etc you shouldn’t really have issues eating any meat. Once you get to know the animal and figure out it’s unique personality, it just adds to the flavour 😋

3:33 Andrew Zimmern (Bizarre Foods tv show host) said animals often taste of the food they eat. He noted walrus tasted like a fishy pot roast.

I particularly enjoyed all the equine jokes 😂

Collin never misses a beat 😂😂😂 you have to give credit, where it's do.

Always enjoy the channel! Please do let the panel know about the topic of strobing, so they may better plan their on-camera wardrobe choices.

I dare the Tryers to try mountain oysters or "lamb fries". I double dare y'all!!

I am surprised that they did not have dog meat. When i was in northern Vietnam i had dog for the first time not gonna lie it was okay. I spoke to my Chinese friends and asked them about it and they said it was more popular before the 1900s but it stayed around for quite some time and still does today but it´s less eaten today than 50+ years ago. I also found out that in some rural coastal town´s they ate cats but that was not as tasty as dog......

i am glad sean got in on this. i appreciate that.

I love that the try channel exist because you try stuff that i wonder about but would never touch if i didnt get a million dollars.

Idk why but Gráinne always cracks me up 😂😂😂😂

I'd try the ones I haven't just to see how they taste I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

I had just taken a sip of water when I heard "yea or neigh". Then I had to dry off my phone.

I went to carnivore too!! One day on safari taking pics, next day they're on the bbq...

I think horse and bear is pretty normal. I'm pretty sure that cheap joint close to where I lived while in college served the occasional horse stew, and bear is just like other game - kinda expensive but buyable even in a supermarket occasionally.

1:30 My wife had JUST told me about the horse meat scandal today. This came up because I'd mentioned that my mom ate horse meat - it wasn't so big a deal in the 50s-60s, and that in, say, medieval times, people may very well have eaten horse just fine.

8:45 Seamus: That was the worst one. Also Seamus: Licks the fork.

Yep. Hannibal. Paul Krendler. I knew it was coming but that scene still haunts me. Seriously.

I see (one) of my favorite TRY CHANNEL tries Gráinne is this video so I'm happy 😊 💚 . I'm feeling do bad watching this since one of my favorite Triers is on it😢 .

If it's dead and I'm hungry, it's food! If it's not dead, well... I can fix that! I want to see you try Sturmstromming or however it's spelled. Finland fermenting fish in cans. Can't be shipped to the US because the cans (already bulging) explode in the unpressurized cargo holds!
