The Wildest Food Records That Taste Like Madness

Bright Side

Think food is just about taste? Think again. Scientists created the world’s healthiest meal packed with every nutrient your body craves. Then there’s a natural protein that’s 2,000 times sweeter than sugar — no candy needed! Bananas may feel ordinary, but technically they’re the rarest fruit in the world. And here’s the kicker: there’s a product so pricey that 1 kilogram costs more than a 3-bedroom house in Tennessee. These are the food records that prove the kitchen can be just as mind-blowing as outer space.

00:00Chicken that doesn't even smell like chicken,

00:03tomatoes that should have retired a long time ago,

00:06and coffee with a weird taste.

00:09That's airplane food for most of us.

00:11But not for those who will get the new special menu for long-haul flights,

00:15aka the healthiest meal in the world.

00:19Forget that tasteless chicken.

00:21You'll be served fresh and smoked salmon,

00:23heart and mixed leaf salad with extra virgin olive oil,

00:27a high-fiber multi-grain bread roll,

00:30chicken casserole with lentils and mixed vegetables,

00:33and some live yogurt-based blancmange with walnuts

00:36and a sugar-free caramel-flavored sauce.

00:39All these foods are packed with minerals, vitamins,

00:42and everything else that screams healthy.

00:45They're good for your brain, heart, digestion, and cholesterol levels.

00:50You'll also be offered some pure spring water and sports drinks

00:53to fill you up with energy, vitamins, and electrolytes.

00:57And of course, you'll freshen your breath after this feast

01:00and relieve pressure in the ears with sugar-free chewing gum.

01:04While we're waiting for this beautiful lunch to be served on planes,

01:07you can make it at home.

01:09Just don't forget to invite me.

01:11If you're looking for a sweet substitute for sugar,

01:15Brisein could be your new best friend.

01:17It's up to 2,000 times sweeter than sucrose.

01:19It's obviously too much for humans, monkeys, and bonobos who avoid this protein.

01:25Gorillas, though, don't feel the sweetness and eat it without a problem.

01:29The protein comes from the oubli plant that grows in Gabon and Cameroon.

01:34Oubli means forgot in French,

01:36and they say little ones who try the berries of the plant

01:39forget the taste of their mother's milk.

01:42Brisein could be a great substitute for sugar,

01:44although it's pretty tricky to purify it from the fruit in commercial amounts.

01:49So, scientists are trying to create microorganisms to produce this protein in a lab.

01:56The most expensive food in the world,

01:58almis caviar,

01:59costs more than a three-bedroom house in Columbus, Ohio.

02:03Slightly over two pounds of almis caviar will cost you $34,500,

02:07and the house is just $25,000.

02:12Well, maybe that's because it's not as rare as this caviar of the Iranian beluga sturgeon.

02:18Almis caviar comes only from the albino female beluga,

02:22which is over 100 years old.

02:25It lives in the cleanest parts of the Caspian Sea.

02:28The fish has translucent white skin and bright pink eyes,

02:32and its caviar is as white as pearls,

02:35with a creamy and distinct nutty taste of butter and brine.

02:40The most expensive hot dog on the planet costs $169.

02:45The Tokyo Dog food truck in Seattle, Washington,

02:48added it to their menu and ended up on the Guinness World Records list.

02:53The hot dog has some ingredients you won't even see at any Michelin star restaurant.

02:58Smoked cheese bratwurst,

03:00butter teriyaki grilled onions,

03:02maitake mushrooms,

03:04wagyu beef,

03:05foie gras,

03:07shaved black truffles,

03:09caviar,

03:10and Japanese mayonnaise,

03:11all served in a brioche bun.

03:14They sold six of those expensive snacks on the first day

03:17and donated all the profits to the American Red Cross.

03:22If you're looking for something way cheaper,

03:24you might want to head to the Rojas Night Market in Davao, Philippines.

03:28Here, you can find probably the cheapest delicious street food in the world.

03:34An oily peanut snack will cost you 18 cents and a savory beef stew slightly over $1.

03:40You can also try some deep-fried whole sweet plantain bananas,

03:44deep-fried battered chicken skin,

03:47all sorts of ice cream,

03:49and many, many other mouth-watering foods,

03:52all at a really affordable price.

03:54Spicy food fans will definitely love full curry,

03:59which is considered the spiciest dish in the world,

04:02possibly hotter than all Indian curries put together.

04:06This meal was actually born in Birmingham, UK.

04:09At some places,

04:11they make you sign a form before you even eat it

04:13to recognize that you take responsibility for what can happen to you in the process.

04:17I guess it's done so you don't try to soothe a restaurant

04:20after crying all your tears out or burning yourself from the inside.

04:25There are different types of super-hot peppers in the meal.

04:28I remember once trying the Carolina Reaper peppers,

04:30and it was 200 times hotter than a jalapeno.

04:34After it, I can't eat anything spicier than a taco,

04:37so I guess I'd rather skip to the next superfood.

04:41The longest noodle in the world was cooked in China

04:44and stretched over 10,000 feet.

04:46It was all made by hand using a traditional ramen noodle recipe.

04:51The chefs whipped up this mega noodle with 88 pounds of bread flour,

04:557 gallons of water, and over 1 pound of salt.

04:59So, the entire thing weighed 145 pounds.

05:03That's two Dalmatian dogs.

05:05It took chefs 17 hours of non-stop work to roll out the noodle.

05:10Then, Guinness World Records spent 3 hours measuring the dough.

05:13The chefs added garlic, egg, and tomato sauce to their masterpiece

05:17and served it to around 400 employees and their families.

05:22It was done to celebrate Seniors' Day in China.

05:25They believe a long noodle means a long life,

05:27so it was their way of wishing the elders a long and healthy life.

05:31In case you want to surprise your friend with the coolest meal they'll ever have,

05:37how about a nettle pudding that's 8,000 years old?

05:41Okay, not the pudding itself, but the recipe that's considered one of the oldest in the world

05:45that is still being cooked.

05:47Nettle leaves are the main ingredient in this unique pudding.

05:52Yep, those plants with the stinging pointy leaves.

05:55But don't worry, once you cook them, the sting goes away,

05:58and they taste amazing, especially with toast.

06:03This green pudding actually comes from Britain,

06:05and historical records show it was eaten there back in the year 6,000 before Common Era.

06:11People would have it for dinner with bread and meats,

06:15or during gatherings and festivities with family.

06:19The town of Zamona in northern Italy smashed the world record for the largest tiramisu ever made.

06:26This monster dessert weighed over 6,600 pounds, nearly as heavy as a hippo.

06:33Around 200 people, including 30 local pastry chefs,

06:36came together to make this creamy coffee delight with sponge fingers,

06:41eggs, sugar, mascarpone, and cocoa powder.

06:45They brought together over 250 trays to form the gigantic tiramisu.

06:51About 20,000 people showed up to witness the grand wing using a crane,

06:57and then they all grabbed spoons to dig in.

07:00Many of them said it was the best tiramisu they'd ever had.

07:03An Australian farm set a record for the world's largest blueberry,

07:10and it's the size of a ping pong ball.

07:13This massive beauty is one of a new variety of blueberries, the Eterna breed.

07:18It's not the only giant on the farm, as it has around 20 impressive brothers and sisters.

07:24No one knows what the record-breaker tastes like,

07:26as they decided to preserve it and maybe cast it in resin and put it on the wall.

07:31But they're sure it's not any less delicious than the normal blueberries you add to your breakfast bowl.

07:39You can buy bananas at the grocery store pretty much anywhere in the world,

07:43but not this type.

07:45If you get a chance to visit a traditional local wedding ceremony in central Uganda,

07:50you'll see the groom even gives a drink he brewed out of this banana to the bride's family.

07:55Making banana juice is a complicated process,

07:58but it can be twice as profitable as just selling bananas as a business.

08:02Sounds like a good business idea to me.

08:06While Neil Armstrong was making his giant leap for mankind,

08:10Bacon was watching for him in the spaceship.

08:13Yep, dried cubes of this breakfast favorite became the first meal eaten on the moon.

08:17It was part of the astronaut diet even before NASA's Apollo program took off

08:23and the main course for their lunar landing meal.

08:26Bacon became a breakfast staple, starting with the Apollo 8 mission,

08:30with either classic bacon squares or Canadian bacon being the main protein source.

08:36Apollo 8's command module pilot Jim Lovell even said,

08:39happiness is bacon squares for breakfast.

08:42That's it for today.
