Tiger takes a bite, finds them disgusting and spits them out, Uncle Grandpa doesn't think they taste that bad. Pizza Steve can't even cut through them with a knife, and Uncle Grandpa states that he followed the recipe, a recipe about how to cook with metals. Mr. Gus is appalled that Uncle Grandpa got them up early for this and it's terrible, Uncle Grandpa gets sad as he thought they would like it.
