The digest

In the culinary world, perfection is often a subjective and elusive concept. Yet, for Rhett and Link of Good Mythical Morning, the pursuit of "Nom-Vana"—the ideal food ratio—is a serious endeavor. From the precise number of hairs on Link's head to the exact parallel alignment of their desk with the camera lens, their dedication to detail is unwavering. This meticulous approach extends to their favorite foods, as they embark on a delicious journey to determine the optimal balance of ingredients in several beloved dishes.

The S'more Dilemma: Marshmallow or Not?

The first contender in their quest is the classic s'more. Link, ever the contrarian, questions the very necessity of marshmallows in a s'more, a sentiment that Rhett vehemently opposes. They start with a "light" marshmallow ratio, which Link finds barely adequate, noting that he barely gets any marshmallow in his first bite. Rhett, on the other hand, believes the classic ratio is perfect, emphasizing that marshmallows are a key component of a s'more and a rare treat. They then try a "heavy" marshmallow s'more, featuring a massive, homemade marshmallow. While Rhett appreciates the generous portion, Link finds it too messy and impractical for camping, his preferred s'more-eating environment. He even suggests bringing a "designated marshmallow shaver" for camping trips. Ultimately, they compromise on a ratio slightly less than regular, with Link advocating for more chocolate and a bit less marshmallow, while Rhett maintains that the original marshmallow size is ideal.
