I was just coming to the comments to see if this was gonna send me spiraling like the quarantine one, what thd fuck is gonna happen in this video

Does it count as self cannibalisation?

Negative, it's only cooking if you heat it externally. Else it's no different than someone pouring a glass of milk, except gross, and much worse for your kidneys.

kinky cooking content

This video genuinely aged really well. The view of certain foods as "exotic" was also an issue within the BA Kitchen and them only ever really letting Priya make Indian dishes.

oh, what happened?

@@RengokuGS one of the BA higher-ups got outed for having done brown face. He dressed up as a Puerto Rican man for Halloween a while back AND his GF shared it on her insta more recently and they were all still showing that they hadn't changed since then. A lot of the non-white members of the test kitchen have also come forward about how they are paid SIGNIFICANTLY less than their white counterparts and some are pidgen holed into only making "ethnic" cuisine.

@@Emily-ce7hd thanks for taking the time to respond. Awful news, feel bad for the workers.

RengokuGS Amazingly Sohla, the person that was at the center of it and got the whole BA thing going and brought to the forefront, now has a cooking show on Binging With Babish’s KZfaq channel so it looks like some of the BA chef’s that didn’t get treated fairly are getting back out there and getting paid

I could never enjoy those because they seemed too greasy to me. Then I’d turn around and stuff a dozen McDonald’s chicken nuggets down my gob.

Hi there Andrew, love your video essays

Had me fooled on the celery, but I figured it out the instant the aluminum foil came out.

basically gentrifying the grocery aisle too

You can flip reverse it though. My uncle used to sell "authentic Irish stew" to American tourists for like 5x the price of a bowl of stew.

My in-laws are Vietnamese and they had to stop going to the Asian store they used to go to all the time because it just got too expensive and a lot of the staples they used to buy were replaced with more trendy popular items. Now I can't say this is true for certain but I'm pretty sure it is because a predominantly white upper class suburb was built in the area and the people that live in it started shopping there for A) for the cheap prices on produce and meats, and B) because it has "exotic" foods that you can't find at regular American grocery stores.

western health food/vegan culture is, unsurprisingly, very much ruled by colonialism. i read an article once about how the rise of quinoa as a trendy grain was driven by forcing south american subsistence farmers to meet massive quotas for almost no money, and i imagine the story behind other “superfoods” isn’t too different. granted, there are vegans trying to decolonize veganism but some of them are waist-deep in it; i’ve heard vegans say some ghoulish things about african, asian, and indigenous cultures that historically rely on meat as a staple

Yet you can’t get enough of “other” cultures, can you?

Oh my goodness! Same profile picture... What a coincidence! Heh... One Stormy Night 💙

"Polls shows that audiences dislike the perception of manual labour. It's like eww.. Poor people do that.. Less engagement. Less dollar."

​@Anna안나 I think it's more about the perception of labor and profession, in a professional kitchen the cooks dont clean dishes. In a youtube video you like to think you're watching a chef or cook, a professional you know? Someone who mastered the blade. I guess it breaks immersion to think about them doing the washing up. That's why I like sortedfood they talk about clean as you go a lot and even show it on camera.

@Anna안나 I would pay to watch Sam Jackson clean dishes again. Or at least dry dishes, I guess.

I have never laughed so hard at a video as I did during the 30 seconds that Dan slurped that cola.

Was that a jab at stanek, the guy who does the "steak done 50 different ways" from bon appetite. He's infamous for emulating his chewing and eating sounds in his videos, all of which are obviously done in a sound booth after the fact.

YES. I would 100% subscribe to a humour-parody based cooking show by an indigenous person 'discovering' modern foods. If done well, it could even slip in some historical fact into casual comparative conversation or as off-handed remarks about what their family / community is doing at insert-time-of-year, as the host does a fast-forward montage waiting for a dish to set or cook. . Someone please do this? Or if someone already is, please link?

Incredible caloric value in mac and cheese, they would be wondering why all those diet people insist on suckling on dry seeds and not stuff their gob with all that cheap efficient calorie-rich junk food

Would also love a series on how seemingly innocuous foods are heavily influenced by politics. There’s not enough discourse about how food availability effects the everyday diet

It's a super food!

I'm responding to an old comment, I know, but mac&cheese WAS 'discovered' by non-native American: Thomas Jefferson. While in France, he was served with macaroni and cheese, noted how to make that kind of pasta, how to make a sauce and then served it in 1802, as the President. It wasn't received that well.

Warning: do not watch "manufacturing authenticity" if you like Bon Appetit's videos. It's a great video, but it will absolutely ruin BA's content to the point of borderline unwatchability

@northern_lights They actually work together all the time, but Its usually off screen stuff. I know Dan helped film and edit Linday's Hobbit videos

The algorithm has made it so (it's my next suggested video.)

Well for starters, there is no such thing as a "super food." Food is food. While some may have better nutrients than others... no food has unique nutrients or properties. At best, the "super food" is just a more efficient or concentrated source of the key nutrient(s)... that can be found in other foods. Worse for the super foods craze, foods aren't magic. They aren't special little buffs. You only get a benefit from "good" foods typically if you are already suffering from a nutritional deficit or some other problem. If you are already healthy, this magic food won't make you "more" healthy. At best, it just helps you maintain your current health. People believe the super foods craze because it makes "food" seem much simpler than it is. Instead of this confusing mess of vitamins, calorie counting, basal metabolic rates, protein profiles, etc... there are the "good" foods and the "bad" foods. Marketing plays this up as it's an easy way to inflate the price of some random food no one would be buying otherwise. But the sad truth of the matter is that nutrition really isn't complicated. Calories in

Also, as far as I heard, açaí is kinda difficult to transport as berries, so in places that aren't near the Amazon it's way more likely that they will have access only to the pulp mixed with some sort of syrup, not the actual berry.

Really! I'm American (US American, not Canadian haha) and I would NEVER have guessed that gold leaf is actually that affordable in the areas where it's actually produced. I don't know about Japan, but in the US, a thing like gold leaf food is all about the, well, aesthetic of opulence and expense. I wonder if it's actually comparably cheap to get, at least in the places that people are producing it. Cue existential reflections on wealth vs displaying the aesthetics of opulence.

A sheet of gold leaf costs about a buck each. Its an anger inducign gimick becuae of how much it inflates an item's price while making the food just a little bit worse.

i implied this in my other comment: gold leaf is seen as a tool, a material, as not real gold gold leaf food, as a commodity and a spectacle, loses the level of "oh I know that cheap shine isn't gold" and gets marked up for it's appearance alone. that's why I say you can easily MAKE gold leaf food, but not as easily BUY It, especially not the ones in the gimmick videos I wouldn't be surprised if gold leaf were made from pyrite

Yeah, pretty much any expensive meal that’s covered in gold leaf is only expensive because it uses wagyu beef, black truffles or some shit. Good leaf is pure artifice. It’s the illusion of wealth.

@@elvellarambles9151 It is. You can buy gold leaf anywhere for cheap, it's nowhere near as expensive as solid gold. Hell, average people use it for random craft projects.

There is a channel where a woman dresses up like an 19th century chef and makes recipes from her cookbook and others of the time period. I believe it's late Victorian. One dish she made was kedgeree. It's a rice egg and fish dish spiced with curry powder. So clearly those spices were getting around.

wow thank you for putting to words what always felt super off about that episode. Nadiya will always be my fave British Bakeoff contestant, she makes bomb ass food and seems like a really cool person.

Just look at the disaster that was Japanese week.

@@qwertyasf no. stop. that didn't happen. I refuse to believe it. wtf why who thought that was a good idea.

Same with Masterchef. Judges praise the hell out of dishes that are perfectly normal dishes in other cultures. Treating a lot of lesser-known Asian dishes like they’re something new and exotic that the contestants invented all by themselves.

I totally appreciated it! Ultimately probably not too hard to do in post but the added touch was appreciated

The video before and after that statement is accelerated, so I doubt it would be very challenging to position the statement at the correct point in the voice over audio, but it is a delight all the same.

What about this is existential?

@@Jonnywaffles64 in the traditional sense of a philosophical theory or approach emphasizing individual people as free and responsible agents determining their own development through acts of the will? I suppose one could say he does treat people as free and responsible people that made these cooking shows the way they are through acts of will... but that's a huge stretch. But what Riordon probably meant to say is that the videos were instilling him with an existential crisis. IE making him question whether his life has meaning, purpose, or value, due to watching even these basic cooking shows get comprehensively broken down in ways he didn't expect.

...i needed this recommendation so much as a wen mang lmao, thank you!! Now I can stop calling my mother every time I go to the Asian market like "I CAN'T READ ANYTHING HELP what should I buy???"

Because of the way a lot of cooking videos are filmed (disembodied hands, voiceover with occasional subtitles, recipe in the description) I've actually ended up watching more cooking videos that aren't in English. It's an interesting way that the format has helped break down the need for an English-speaking mediator to present recipes to a presumed English-speaking audience.

It is a great channel!!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Yay?

I really enjoy old people recipes and cooking instructions, because most of them have the benefit of decades of experience and shortages of staple ingredients to be very effective at make-work recipes. Only have one pan? Cook in this order instead so you don't have to clean. Missing this ingredient? That one can substitute if you do it this way, and add this to make it taste right again. Have a terrible oven or cooktop with a low maximum temperature? Here's how to adjust. Don't worry about precise measures, just learn how to check the consistency as you go and you can add more or less at each step, except this one you want to be careful for. If I'm in a formal kitchen, the professional chef's recipe will work best. But if we're in a small house or out camping, the granny recipe will always be easier and better.

Trueee. I’m tryna decrease my meat intake, not because I want to be healthy, but because I don’t like the taste of meat and I object morally to the meat industry. And let me tell you, unhealthy vegetarian/vegan food is weirdly hard to find? Like, just because I don’t want meat, doesn’t mean I’m opposed to feeling greasy when I eat.

the worst one for me is when restaurants take out all the seasonings and flavor from their token vegan dish. im a vegetarian not a vampire, wheres the damn garlic!

@@moleperson The only junk they'll serve to non-meat-eaters is goddamn falafel and I'm SICK OF IT. My pro tip is that a good and greased-up Indian restaurant will supply all the indulgent vegetarian junk food you could ever dream of. They served me a deep-fried mushroom once. And they have pakoras. Enough said.

As someone trying to eat enough for a workout routine and transition to using less meat, the struggle is realll

one inch of good quality peanut oil heated to 375 (use a candy or deep fryer thermometer) and jiffy cornbread mix made with plant based milk will have you swimming in corn dogs. add some elote seasoning to give it a little extra!

Is there like an article or video on the subject? Maybe not only about this dish but generally about politics of cuisine of first nation and other indigenous peoples?

But hey Trudeau ‘fixed it’!!! And now we’re just giving them covid-filledblankets with no lne of the healthcare the US govt promised HEYOOOO North America really deserves to burn just for the govt treatment of the native populations. We’re hot garbage for it. The US constantly breaking ‘permanent’ treaties is absurd and nauseating.

Levierina a basic google search will net a lot of results but ‘first nations canada reconciliation’ is a good place to start, as is looking up the recipes from the 1800s Native people were forced to create after being forced into reservations and being given government rations. Trading buffalo and berries for white flour and whatever other scraps the government gave them in the name of expansionism (and taking native lands away from the people who lived there) is really disgusting; all of it really but the story of how frybread was made is one example of many about how they have worked hard to adapt despite so much white brutality towards their people.

As an indigenous person, with lot's of family still living in 'res', I'll confirm that it is still a staple snack/dessert. It's cheap to make, and goes great with honey or maple syrup. It's still a huge part of general culture (in terms of diet/culinary cuisine) for a lot of communities. That ramble is just a way to say, I see it as a food that is great to support. Fun fact: I found out that in Eskasoni Cape Breton, they sometimes refer to it as 'four-cent'. Cape Breton was primarily a mining community/port of call being Sydney, and a fairly isolated/northern location, meant that people used rationed items to make easy-to-disperse foods. 'Four-cent' was a bread that could be bought or sold for about four cents. It's basically bannock, maybe closer to scones but quite similar. (Originally from NWT, now living on the east coast.)

@@KawlinRolfe For sure - it's more that bannock is associated with a really awful time and experience in my life and can't eat it at all anymore. A large part of the discussion was the health concerns in displaced communities here on the west coast, like heart conditions and diabetes. It was eye opening to me, since part of my family is Mi'kmaq, and I hadn't really heard anyone talk about that stuff before then. I remember bannock being great with maple syrup though.

And it's not cooking - it's just taking the piss

And now all the poc creators have quit the KZfaq channel. That escalated rather quickly.

Ikr, I'm watching this sometime after I watched The Collapse of Bon Apetit by Jack Saint. Funny indeed.

I got to 2:44 and thought "man, that aged poorly." With everything Adam Rappaport (and Conde Nast in general) has done and continues to do to be as BIPOC-unfriendly as possible, they may as well be baking pies in the shape of swastikas.

What the video didn't discuss directly but something that I deeply appreciate is the filming in a messy kitchen at the end. Making housework invisible and setting unrealistic standards for home interiors, both serve a particular worldview. Nice to have that casually recognized as well.

Honestly he gives off that smug vibes every clip. Glad to see everyone is happier now.

FE3H!!!

Wait what happened??

@@moleperson Few things tbh. One of the initial controversies was their editor in chief, Adam Rapoport, was caught in brownface at a party, and then things spiralled. It turned out that they weren't paying their employees of color fairly, and having them do major camera appearances for way way less than the white guest chefs. White chefs were more likely to land exclusive shows on the channel, and many employees of color were underpaid and harassed. Pretty sure they also removed sections from their cookbook publications that included ethnic recipes. Conde Nast VP also turned out to be racist and homophobic and resigned along with Rapoport. Bunch of big names from the channel - like Gabby, Priya, and Claire - left and made their own channels. Like, so many people left that they had to restructure the channel. Apparently they recently unionized which is a good step, but it still doesn't seem like they've addressed the core issue that wound up gutting them.

@@VestaBlackclaw Damnnn, that’s serious stuff. I mean glad that it got exposed, since now the people affected could have an easier time standing up for themselves, but still horrible that it happened :(

The cooking series that got me into cooking is Life of Boris on youtube. Admittedly he is a comedy channel, but his recipes are very great and authentic, and since he is like, just some guy, he also cooks in a way you or I would. E.g. in one of his recipes, he points out that you can make the whole dish using just a single pot, which makes it great for students, who often don't have more.

I am not sure what you mean by 'suburban american'. does the recipe change depending on where you make it?

@@sycration I live in a place where the only Chinese restaurants are "takeout Chinese". The Chinese food that people in China eat is pretty different! Before I watched Chinese Cooking Demystified, I really had no way to approach the cuisine. It's a lot of flavors and ingredients that I had never experienced before in America. So really it's that their channel helped me learn about food that was totally foreign to me.

"Souped Up Recipes" has great Chinese videos (in English), "Pailin's Kitchen" for Thai, and of course "Maangchi" for Korean food. Personally the crazy videos with blue food etc seem dumb to me and not worth my time; I just want the food.

​@@sycration it literally does actually. Different places have different ingredients available, and the even same ingredient from two different geographical locations will often be quite different.

This comment made me think of other weird cross overs that my.... ummm diverse subscription list could produce 😂

I might like that channel then. Well, I'm assuming the channel is less about just recipes and more about cooking. Cuz I'm sick of 'informational' cooking channels that are just recipes, which is a big reason why I don't care to watch them. - Sigh, it was just recipes. Plus it's mostly candy!

@@TheAlison1456 They do several videos debunking the "food hacks" type videos, and also call them out on how extremely dangerous a lot of them are. But the bulk of their content is really good cakes and baking. She's a wizard when it comes to making super cool looking desserts and cakes. It's a good channel because it's just a small family run one with surprisingly high quality and production, where they focus on quality over quantity. She's even admitted herself that youtube screws over their channel because they can't compete with producing as many videos as the algorithm expects and can't compete with the cooking channels that have huge budgets behind them and can churn out content almost daily. They're definitely worth a watch!

Oh? I cant imagine Townsend's being controversial, what happened?

There’s an episode filmed at Mt Vernon about a desert called an Orange Fool and people assumed it was about Then-President Trump because of his, well, kind of orange skin tone. In fact, it was just about a desert that George Washington may have had.

His disapointment in his audience in the followup was heartbreaking. Sometimes historical food is just food

Yeah he got a lot of shit in the comments on a video where he made some recipe that was called like "The Big Orange" or something. Loads of morons were like "omg why are you shitting on the President, Hilary lost, get over it". When it was just a recipe that used a lot of orange in it, a recipe made centuries ago. It's ridiculous, they see attacks wherever they look, and invent them out of nothing at all.

I thought it was funny (in a sad way) how where I live (Sweden) goji berries became trendy as a superfood not only amongst people who think they're into wellness, but also those who you can barely say hi to before they start talking about how environmentally conscious they are and that if you don't adhere to their way of living you're personally responsible for global climate change. like ok so instead of picking blueberries in the forest next to where you live, you bought berries from the other side of the world??? genius

this is capitalism and racism at its core

@@bumblebramblebranch To be fair, transportation, when done right, is a fairly small part of the total environmental impact of a product, including food. I don't know if goji berries fall into that category, though. As a dried product they might.

​@@GuerillaBunny it might be so but it's completely unnecessary in this case as people weren't buying them because they loved the flavor but because they contain a lot of vitamin c, just like blueberries that grow all over the country and anyone is allowed to pick them in any forest. so for those who pretend to be so environmentally friendly they could've cut down that co2 emission by a 100%

@@bumblebramblebranch In the case of their vitamin C supply, sure. But when it's something like beans vs. meat as a source of protein, beans will beat meat regardless of the distance, when done right (ie. cargo ships).

@@renaissancewoman3770 not all vegans are vegan strictly on moral grounds, and those that are don't necessarily base their morals on choice or suffering. For example, quite a few vegans believe that animal products contain "toxins" that will damage their bodies, or have some kind of (pseudo-)religious belief that those foods are spiritually tainted. Environmental concerns are also common, although I don't think that would prevent you from drinking your own piss unless there's some subtlety if waste management I'm unaware of. Or they might just be absolutists for practical reasons.

The difference is that "communities" isn't a word used to designate areas which we've left untouched for the animals and such. Not sure how much to read into that. Or _what_ to read into that.

That's just cultural genocide with a friendlier name

Yellowknifer here. Nice to see more northerners in the comments

Were you happy with your grade?

@@ninawth Yeah, actually! My professor even suggested I try to get it published 😱

i'd really like to read it

I'd like to read this too, if it's convenient for you to share

If you do get it published, that sounds like an interesting read.

Ann Reardon is amazing

I love her stuff, and Dave is such a champ for taste testing all her cooking debunks lol

Lol you wonderful man you.

Philosophy Tube came down here looking for this and of course it's the thespian who caught it

Was wondering who would comment on it first and of course it's Abby

As an idiot... can someone point out the reference?

@@jackgude3969 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, by Tom Stoppard. There's a film version with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman and by gar I am too gay not to mention it.

I also love How to Cook That, Anne does a great job of balancing information and spectacle. She is very talented at making incredible and strange looking cakes/cookies/etc., but also talks about how things are actually done, does the great investigative videos, and many other interesting off shoots.

@@kevinwells9751 I'd also like to add that Ann has a great personality as well. I find her very charming.

Its a shame she strayed from her original content, not my cup of tea anymore but at least she found some success

cultural appropriation of ancient babylon

bro what

@@Red-yt2dk how iz ze weather in Moscow, comrade?

​@@sycrationIronically, as someone adapting a tall people joke, you're the one who's clearly high.

where else would it even go?!

Who puts a kettle in a cabinet? Kettles belong on stove tops or counters if they're electric

During quarantine? They'd better not!

I keep at least 9 liters of water consistently boiling just in case I ever get visitors. Hasn't happened in 8 years, but who knows!?

@@WlatPziupp the day you take it off the visitors will come, it's a law of physic!

is it weird that I feel proud for getting the reference?

Townsends is also great because he's doing both history and honestly just trying to run his local business. And as someone who grew up going between Colonial Williamsburg and, like, all of Boston, I love that kind of kitschy 18-century crap, so I'm glad there's at least one whole store in the Midwest that's staying open due to KZfaq.

I never saw Townsend but he looks fun and I'll check him out and Chef John kicks ass

Same. I thought this would be analysis of Bon Appetit and tbh I would've been very okay with watching that video.

The part where he eats the pizza pop is a pretty big reference to bon appetit's 'every way to cook a (blank)' series- he talks abt the food exactly how that guy does

Broadly speaking it probably says that BA is a powerhouse in the youtube cooking channel sphere. With the backing of a separate revenue stream from the magazine, they (and Conde Nast in general, including Epicurious, GQ, Wired, Vanity Fair and them.) are able to devote resources including filming crews, editors, professional spaces, equipment, and even multiple hosts. This allows them to push out content at a rate that comes closer to the content farms that shovel consumable impulse or anger fueled material than anyone else is really able. Along with strong brand relations, professional quality SEO, and content producers with years, even decades of experience, they have created a community for themselves such that they're one of the first cooking channels you might think of.

i mean you werent really wrong!!!! first thing we got was a reference to amiels videos!!

It's kinda a reflection of culture at large. I've been watching BA Test Kitchen for a few years and it was a real 'wait, what' moment when I started seeing compilations, gifs, memes and a 'Bon Appetit fandom posting in the style of tumblr' happen. ...Dear god, am I a hipster? 'I was watching It's Alive before people made Brad gifs'?

Lol no cake pan?? How does that work? Also do you remember the channel name or the bid name I'm interested

@@totiny3262 i don't remember the channel basically she sogged up cookies and mushed them into a vaguely cake shape

I could do a good chocolate cake with no oven, no eggs, no butter, no milk and no cake pan or I could do a good chocolate cake in 5 minutes (ok more like 10 minutes + cooking) But it's impossible to do both, if only because the first one requires cunning vegan tricks and cunning vegan tricks are time consuming

@@totiny3262 she put it in a big round Tupperware sort of thing and microwaved it for 5 minutes XD. (Supposedly.) Believe it or not, then she came out with a "lockdown" version lololol that was no chocolate, no flour, no anything... apparently because she just used cookies, milk, and one more ingredient I can't remember. I don't really want to give that channel views, but if you insist, just search for "5-minute chocolate cake" and you should see the thumbnail I'm talking about right away.

@@Tina-Brune I hear you with the cunning vegan tricks, I've even tried a couple, but no, this video is not about cunning vegan tricks, fast or not XD

I prefer to think of it less as tainted but the dirt swept under the rug now has a chance to get swept out of the house instead of attracting secret mold

Thanks 2020

I guess he was not ready to clean all the coke afterwards XD

Lol I felt similarly when everyone decided to eat activated charcoal for a while. "Isn't that what vets give to dogs after eating chocolate?"

Hey, tell your cousin that sweetened condensed milk goes well with black coffee

@@crittersinblankets I mean, from what I've heard it does clear toxins from your body. It's just, y'know, that includes your meds (and you shouldn't consume it regularly)

That sounds pretty good actually. The sad state of health food hype is that perfectly decent ingredients get priced up and fucked up beyond usability.

I remember people eating it at the beach, full of condensed milk and stuff like cornflakes. Here in the UK people go nuuuuts over açaí and guaraná powders and the like, but it is so different from how a lot of people enjoy it back home haha

@@Toxic Potato Hey.

So is pineapples from Hawaii btw lol
