Part 2/5:
The first round included an array of fried foods, beginning with Australia’s donug—an oversized chicken nugget shaped like a donut. Next on the lineup was Hungary’s lángos, a deep-fried flatbread topped with garlic, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Completing the first heat was Japan’s takoyaki, featuring octopus-filled round balls.
Rhett and Link, the hosts, provided commentary punctuated by humor, with Rhett expressing skepticism about the donug’s size, calling it "bordering on too big for a nugget." Meanwhile, Link was drawn to the simplicity and comforting qualities of the lángos.
