I’ve had alligator once; it really does taste like chicken, but has the texture of pork. I would eat it again if offered to me, but it’s not something I would seek out. As for the pâté, every time I’ve had it here in the States, it was served as part of a charcuterie board, with other meats, and a selection of cheeses and crackers. You really don’t eat it by itself like you did, unless it was fois gras. And congratulations to Mega Brain 6000 on his impending college graduation and good luck on the job hunt.
Had crocodile 🐊, kinda like ham, not brilliant, but extremely satisfying when someone asks what you're doing for lunch........."Crocodile sandwiches 😋 , you? Cheese and ham? How boring 😴 "
Hopefully with J-travel opening up we can see a reunion with Dudesgotit and his GF soon- I wonder what he would want his first meal back in Tokyo to be?
Another great video! I love how our family comes together for family time to watch your videos. Team get some bonding here! Thanks for quality content..we want to plan a trip in the future and we gain so much Insight and inspiration from your trips and shared experiences..Thank you Eric !
Love watching you and your son in videos sure wish we had vending machines like those in the US. Think it's amazing what they can put in a vending machine!!!
Crocadile and aligator meat does taste like chicken. I've had it before. However, the fact that the vending machine version came with the claw will forever give me nightmares.
I wonder where the crocodile comes from.. 😁 I was watching The Thaiger, they've mentioned crocodile meat before - apparently in Thailand it's relatively cheap compared to chicken and pork, mainly because it's a by-product from the crocodile farms - they raise them mainly to make handbags and such out of the leather. Looks like it came shrink-wrapped, you could sous-vide it.. 😁
I love the vending content since CV has helped with options and Japan def leads the way that we don't see anywhere else. Was reminded of recombined milk that were our only option,, YUK, as kid in Misawa AFB 60s. Local milk in bottles was not recommended by military but we chanced it and no commissary recombined milk for my brother and I. As former Cav, Tanks for triggered memories and great content! 👍
Everything looked so goood! We live in Florida however and have plenty of alligator to try here. Keep up the great vids. Also love it when you have your son with you. M&T
Has been so long since ive watched a megabrain episode, hes much more comfortable on camera now. I love fried chicken liver but haven't had it in ages.
Love watching you guys! My husband got me into this channel! It’s nice to see your son with you! Absolutely crazy the amounts of vending machines in Japan! My husband an I hope to visit sometime
Hey Eric, Used to watch your content about 6 years ago....Just remembered about your channel today and rushed here to check In..Glad you're still doing youtube and are healthy 😀
What is the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? One will see you later, and one will see you in a while. Wow what a thing to find in a vending machine!
This is the 4 time I have seen some one eat the Patay they say it is head cheese but 😃 but I think it is still moving on the inside french people love that stuff grill mine over charcoal with sauce or fry it croissants are better with fruit cream or as a breakfast sandwich instead 😁✌❤🍻 Tuskuba ramen festival is coming up on October 11-16 soon will dad & son hangout during the celebration having a good time 😃✌
Ive had alligator before, very tasty. Best special meat ive ever had was ostrich though. Would love to win a snack pack too to see what amazing and tasty things japan has to offer
I'm not sure about the croc leg, but those sandwiches are legit and appear to be worth the price of entry. Nice to see your son with you too! Thanks for yet another fun review!
Love the video. I am still amazed on what you can get from vending machines in Japan. Still planning a trip to go to Japan. Keep up the good work and amazing videos
Another great vending machine video!! Can't wait till my neice and I can travel to Japan for our food tour and vending machines are on our list!!! Thanks for searching them out and making such fantastic content!!!
Mega brain! He’s always so sweet and soft spoken. I go back to work tomorrow and this is a nice way to spend my Saturday. Meal prepping for the week and relaxing with Eric Meal Time! This makes my entire week seriously! Thank you for all you do Eric!
Congrats on graduating Megabrain! Being a UA-camr is not necessarily a bad thing, just look how dad turned out? :D Awesome meal, tried crocodile before, definitely tasted like chicken to me, but in a good way!
Welcome back Megabrain, good to see you. I have always wanted to try Croc/Alligator. But it's a little hard to find in my area. But the search goes on. Those vending machines are crazy awesome. I want to do a trip to Japan just to visit as many vending machines as possible, Start at one end of Japan and work my way to the other. LOL
So glad you went back to try the alligator (or crocodile?)!! The foot visual was kind of daunting, but I'm glad you and Mega liked it. All in all, it looked liked a really good meal. Thanks to the chef for balancing it out with the salad! All of you take care! 😄
It's eaten in the united states where I'm from lol it's like pork or chicken, but a little bit uh, greasy or slimy idk. It's subtle but you can tell your eating a lizard lol. Pretty enjoyable nonetheless.
I love seeing how much love is put into the vending machine industry in Japan. I wish we would do something similar in America. Your videos are a lot of fun to watch
Love to see your son again. Please bring him back in more of your tasting videos. I love the way he has no fear in trying new foods. Just awesome.❤👍🏻👍🏻keep up the wonderful job. I Really enjoy this vlog channel.
I find myself really liking pate and I love pastries a little bit too much. Always great to see Mega. My compliments to the chef. That salad looked great.
POV “ I can tell it’s a thick sauce by the way it smells” Eric you are the best ! And the vids with your boys is and you are the most heartwarming to see x
You guys really showed us the fringes of Japanese cuisine. Pretty brave going for the croc claw Eric. It looked better than expected. Another great show!

We have it a lot here in Florida…
Fried Gator tail is found at most restaurants in Florida, especially seafood restaurants
Had crocodile 🐊, kinda like ham, not brilliant, but extremely satisfying when someone asks what you're doing for lunch........."Crocodile sandwiches 😋 , you? Cheese and ham? How boring 😴 "
I would frequently go to a bar in El Paso for gator bites. sadly it closed do to a shooting that happened. Sad..
I guess I had a fancy childhood with Underwood Liverwusrst pate sandwiches 🥪 after school jk lol
Alligator and crocodile are different.. in asia they eat caiman
So wholesome to see you eating and enjoying some snacks with your son.
Good times Jake! ✔💯😇
It’s nice to see you having dinner with your son and bonding. I was going to say 6 nom noms to 👍🏻
Hopefully with J-travel opening up we can see a reunion with Dudesgotit and his GF soon- I wonder what he would want his first meal back in Tokyo to be?
Another great video! I love how our family comes together for family time to watch your videos. Team get some bonding here! Thanks for quality content..we want to plan a trip in the future and we gain so much Insight and inspiration from your trips and shared experiences..Thank you Eric !
Cheers to you & the family 🤩
The sandwiches looked amazing! Not sure about the dinosaur claw..

Your vending machine vids are the best; you never know what's going to come up, and there's always a surprise.

Once again the six surprised me. I guess I'll have to give alligator a try. Good luck on the job hunting Mega.
Best team on UA-cam I was laughing while watching you try all that food THank you Eric and Megabrain!!!!!!!!
Crocadile and aligator meat does taste like chicken. I've had it before. However, the fact that the vending machine version came with the claw will forever give me nightmares.
The claw proves it's legit. 🤪
Me and my daughter love watch y’all trying new food always nice seeing y’all doing the video keep it up.
Thumbs up and subscribed! What a great food review and such a great father son video!
That was a delicious looking feast. Love the Vending Vids.
Gator is probably the most interesting thing ive seen come out of a vending. But everything looked amazing

Crocodile? Interesting. Always good to see Mega Brain in your vids. Love all the vending machine videos. Til next time 😎
Mega brain coming through with the 6. Love his optimism with life in general
An eclectic mix of foods today!! Very much a meat feast!! Thoroughly enjoyable!!

Shaking hands while eating the arm. Interesting technique for sure
Everything looked so goood! We live in Florida however and have plenty of alligator to try here.
Keep up the great vids. Also love it when you have your son with you.
M&T
Has been so long since ive watched a megabrain episode, hes much more comfortable on camera now. I love fried chicken liver but haven't had it in ages.
Great video. Good to see Mega brain on with you.
Pate and donuts - a perfect meal!
You can tell that Eric’s been living abroad for quite some time, as donuts aren’t eaten with a fork back in America😆
I know, crazy right?
The Katsu always look so good
These videos really do bring my mood up.
Cheers Tea! Happy to hear that. 😇
I could never try crocodile I don’t think!! Hope to visit Japan next year :)
That alligator looked good. Now I want to try it.
I love watching your videos.
Good video keep it up injoy watching them all!!!
Those meat portions were outstanding! Good luck to Megabrain on the job search🤞😊

Cheers to you & hubby! ✔💯😇
@@ericsurf6 omg!!! You responded!!! Wow so cool! Thank you.
You need to add some Cajun spices on that crocodile... You supposed to eat the pate with the cracker or crusty bread...
Cannoli looks pretty good!
Love gator can wait to see some more coffee vending machines I loved them
We don’t eat crocodile or pig meat,but I liked the donuts and croissants 🥐
Hey Eric, Used to watch your content about 6 years ago....Just remembered about your channel today and rushed here to check In..Glad you're still doing youtube and are healthy 😀
Down Here in louisiana we fry it and grill it I would recommend Eric put it on the grill
Eric are there any foods available in Japan that you've never had the chance to try yet? Not counting vending machines of course.
I think the cream pastry is a cannoli
What is the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?
One will see you later, and one will see you in a while. Wow what a thing to find in a vending machine!
I wonder how much of a difference there is in taste between alligator and crocodile?
This is the 4 time I have seen some one eat the Patay they say it is head cheese but 😃 but I think it is still moving on the inside french people love that stuff grill mine over charcoal with sauce or fry it croissants are better with fruit cream or as a breakfast sandwich instead 😁✌❤🍻

That was awesome you sharing a beer with your son! Love fried alligator! Glad it was in stock when you went back.
Great video. Always appreciate the positive attitude. Save the crocodile arm and you have yourself a backscratcher.
I love seeing how much love is put into the vending machine industry in Japan. I wish we would do something similar in America. Your videos are a lot of fun to watch
Love to see your son again. Please bring him back in more of your tasting videos. I love the way he has no fear in trying new foods.
Just awesome.❤👍🏻👍🏻keep up the wonderful job. I Really enjoy this vlog channel.
Love when megabrain is present! He's talking more now, and the food looks yummy as always
No he said more than just "yes" and "no" this time
He looks afraid lol
That crocagator looked delicious. It's great that you are still able to find new things after 706 episodes!
To paraphrase Kusanagi/Ghost in the Shell "The Japanese vending machine variety is Vast and Infinite" lol
Really do love the videos with your sons. And when it's vending machines its even better haha. X
I find myself really liking pate and I love pastries a little bit too much. Always great to see Mega. My compliments to the chef. That salad looked great.
