Hi, I'm Josh.
I'm Chad.
No, you're not. What?
It's an American football episode.
This is Ollie.
We're some British guys who are going to be trying
some JOLLY Super Bowl snacks.
- The Super Bowl. - The Super Bowl!
As I did my research into these snacks
a little bit disappointed that they didn't have, you know,
food that they ate out of a super bowl or something.
They're missing a trick there.
- There was no superb owls involved either. - Damn it!
I know, it's really disappointing.
But what I did find is
there's a whole subculture of 'tailgating'.
Tailgating is what the guys in the Google office were terrified
that we would do if they gave us a visitor pass.
This is a completely different type of tailgating.
And it revolves around
sports fans gathering at stadiums before the event starts.
Eating out of the tails of their cars.
Otherwise, known as the trunk.
- What, the boot in England? - Trunk eating.
- Boot eating. - Well, yeah...
It doesn't quite have the same ring.
Well, I would say trunk eating is worse.
Today we're going to try tailgating. Let's do it!
All right.
This is tailgating.
What are you doing in there?
I'm tailgating, mate.
- You're not... That's not tailgating. - I'm tailgating.
Look, this is my gate.
- I am sat... - in the tail.
In the tail, inside the tail.
That's not how it works.
Okay.
I actually do have something in the tail of this car.
We're going to bring in a table.
Wow, this feels like a real adventure now.
And in the tail of this guy...
Can you smell that?
First up, Ollie, on our tailgate menu today...
Brussels sprouts sliders.
Okay. Americans eat this?
This is...well, I don't want to just speak on behalf of all Americans.
Apparently, it is a tailgate food favourite for the people who do tailgate.
Let's try them, shall we?
I'm excited about this.
Shout out to Gabie who has helped us prepare all of this food
that would literally be impossible to get in the UK otherwise.
- All right. - Let's give it a go.
Okay.
It's like an amuse-bouche
of tailgating.
Yeah, I wouldn't say my bouche is too amused.
It's like an opening act
that makes the main act look better.
Okay.
That is the most British diss I've ever heard.
I guess it's like ham, mozzarella, cherry tomato,
and instead of a lovely carb bread hug,
you're wrapping it in
what is probably the world's most unpopular vegetable.
Wow.
Honestly, there's so many fillings
I thought you wouldn't taste the brussels sprout.
- You can still... - It's, it's a dominant flavour.
- Basically you're... - Extremely dominant.
Extremely dominant.
- Not the biggest fan. - No.
That brussels sprout has tackled a cheese and ham sandwich
American football style.
This one, you're going to be more excited about.
Okay. This looks great.
Pizza muffins.
How, in England, have we never thought to combine,
two such great things? It's pizza and muffins.
Yeah, that's an amazing idea.
You might be noticing, "Oh, look, you know.
Pizza has tomato sauce, those don't look like that much tomato".
Well, you've got a marinara sauce dip.
Look at that! It literally is like a pizza in the form of a muffin.
I'm so ready for this.
Yeah, man!
Don't you just want to like-
Hell, yeah!
Yeah, say things like that.
Boom.
This sauce is good, man. This is really good.
We're just polishing this off.
You know what will go really well with this though?
I do have a cooler of America's favourite beers.
So, there's two teams in super bowl.
LA and Cincinnati.
LA what?
LA...
Rams?
- The La Rams? - Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I was chased by a ram once.
And I can tell you right now.
They are terrifying creatures.
I think Coors is the most drank beer in Ohio.
- Drunk. - Drunk beer in...
- in California. - Dranken. I think it's dranken.
Bud Light.
You know, it goes well with? Pizza hot dogs.
Wow.
I love the simplicity.
It's just like, "What two things do we like to eat?"
Yeah, I mean that happens in fancy restaurants, too.
It's called fusion food.
Pizza and hot dog.
I really want to just bite into this.
- Can I go? - Put it together.
Boom. Pizza hot dog.
Go you...
Ohio Rams.
You're an idiot.
So far.
That has no right tasting that good.
If it's like major sporting events here?
You can't get anywhere near.
What, because it's so busy?
Yeah, it's like the World Cup final, right?
You couldn't get a car anywhere near that.
I guess the equivalent in the UK would be like football hooligans at the pub.
That's true.
- Before the game starts. - This is way more civilised than that.
Way more!
We've got a couple of offerings from each of the states competing.
Starting with California.
LA Rams. I present you
Californian chicken wings
Most wings are like buffalo wings which come from Buffalo, New York, right?
Oh...
I had no idea that's where they came from.
Let's do this.
All right. You ready?
Yeah, I am so ready.
Wow!
It's sweeter than buffalo wings.
Definitely. Less spicy.
Kind of a bit smoky.
Can you taste any kind of alcoholic drink in it?
Absolutely incredible... Ohhh!
Wait, what?
That's what that tastes like.
I know what that is now.
Okay, let me guess.
- Beer. - No.
- Tequila. - No.
- Vodka. - No. Wow.
Jack Daniels' Barbecue sauce.
- Jack Daniel's itself isn't from California. - No.
But this style of the wings that uses Jack Daniel's.
They're amazing.
Do you know the rules?
Yeah, roughly.
Because they have offence and defence.
Of-fence and de-fence, yeah.
Except, they use a different emPHAsis.
Oh, man. I'm so glad I got it out.
Okay, so that's the Californian round, rams.
Now, it's the Cincinnati...
Raiders?
- What is it? - Bengals!
Bengals!
All right. From Cincinnati, well, Ohio specifically,
we have
White Chicken Chili.
Luke does not like the look of that.
That looks like something I saw on the tube this morning.
Okay! Come on.
There's the chili beans at the bottom.
You've got chicken.
You've got some sweetcorn.
Give it a smell though. It smells really good.
Doesn't it smell like hundred times better than you expected?
It smells nothing like it looks.
What we're having with this- wait, before you try it.
Bit of avocado.
Cilantro.
Cheese.
Some nachos.
That does look good, man.
Oh my gosh, Gabie.
Cincinnati's winning.
Cincinnati is definitely winning.
Holy moly! That is good!
I feel so bad...
I mean the visuals do not do this justice.
This is so good.
Oh, man.
This is this is genuinely incredible.
Proper comfort food, this is.
So the Super Bowl.
Who's gonna win?
Cincinnati Bengals?
That's my prediction. Based on zero football knowledge.
And specifically how good this white chicken chili is.
Backing the Bengals.
But wearing a LA hat so...
Feeling a bit conflicted.
Yeah. Conflicting messages.
Can you predict the score? Do you have any idea how the scoring works?
Oh, yes!
One nil.
One nil?!
It's hard to score, it is hard to score.
Would you recommend tailgating?
Yeah, if it is this.
Which I'm still not entirely convinced.
Well, to everyone playing.
- This Sunday. - A message to the players.
Yeah, just in case. Just in case.
To everyone playing. Good luck.
Just make sure you have fun. That's the main thing.
Exactly go out there, go out there have a bit of fun.
Do your best and if you lose,
if you lose, what's the worst that can happen?
You know,
You don't get a ring, I guess?
I know nothing about football!
We know so little!
All right, guys.
Have a good weekend.
See you JOLLY soon.
USA! USA!
