Blake & Jimmy Are One Odd & Hilarious Duo
Whenever Blake Shelton and Jimmy Fallon get together, the result is always hysterical. One time, the comedic duo joined one another for a meal out, and Jimmy decided to treat Blake to sushi for the first time.

Since sushi isn’t really a “country” thing, it’s no surprise that Blake seemed a bit uncomfortable while waiting for his meal to come.
Blake and Jimmy started off with some sake, which is a rice wine that is often served in sushi restaurants. Although Blake was hesitant to try it at first, he put his brave face on and tipped it back.
Blake Surprisingly Liked The Sake
When Jimmy asked Blake what he thought of the sake, his response was priceless, and he said it tasted like “Easter egg coloring.”
But although Blake didn’t like the sake at first, he continued to ask for more of it throughout the meal, as he and Jimmy tried different courses.

Surprisingly, Blake actually liked the first piece of sushi he tried, even though he said the “the texture is like Play-Doh.”
He Kept Plowing Through
But that was about the only part of the meal Blake liked. Still, he pushed through each course like a champ, and at least tried a little bit of everything the server brought to them.
