Grandma making ramen apple pie is the first sign of dementia

"I've never heard of a 'Spaghetti Taco' before." *iCarly Music Stops*

The fact that I need to buy other ingredients defeats the purpose of eating on a budget lol If I have money for ground beef I have money for a box of pasta.

swear every video i watch this dude has a different kitchen

Just like Grandma used to make... In prison.

"I've never heard of spaghetti tacos before." Spencer Shay would be appalled.

These recipes feel like something a massively depressed student who is failing came up with while unmotivated dragging themselves in the kitchen because grandma made them promise that they would cook " real food"

Real talk: I've only seen her on Jaboody Dubs so hearing her real voice ironically hits an uncanny valley for me.

it's so weird hearing this lady's normal voice after so many jaboody dubs

Ian's "Why?" came from such a genuine place

This is just like grandma used to make when she would come home disgruntled, slightly drunk, and three hours late.

KZfaqr DimesAreTasty interviewed Cathy about Ramen Joy. It never was actually printed and that cookbook is the same book.

"Yes, Cola!" Is that a threat

“Beef pasta better than your favorite barbecue joint” Um, Cathy I’m not sure what kind of “bbq” joints you frequent.

The thing about these recipes is the same problem that 95% of "life hacks" have. If you're going to go ahead and make any of these things, you're just going to use the real items and not bother with top ramen replacements.

Ian is the kind of KZfaqr that when you find him funny, you feel unique and special for finding him. And then you see the numbers of his views and subs and realize your not special, but you're also not alone

This old lady is teaching people how to make prison commissary food.

This is an insult to Mexican, Italian, and Japanese food simultaneously. Impressive.

So, Ramen Joy doesn't exist. Cathy's infomercials for it didn't go over very well, which led to them never actually publishing the book. Basically they were going to print up the books after the informercials aired and they collected orders. But the number of orders received didn't outweigh the cost of the publishing run so it was all scrapped. "Ramen Noodle Recipes" is the closest you can get, which is essentially the second edition of the Ramen Joy book featuring a new name and some edits.

My dad used to boil us ramen noodles and throw out the flavor packets. He was a sick man.

“I’ve never heard of spaghetti tacos before” Looks like someone’s never watched iCarly before

Ian why? Why would you do this? Cathy Mitchell lives off almost entirely from cheese and Pillsbury. She ain't exactly a very trustworthy person for recipes.

Incoming spontaneous views because of Dimes video! Been a long time since I'd watched this and as soon as I'd seen their thumbnail, ran here because I knew you'd cooked from Madam Michell's book.

I know this is an old video, but I would like to say I am VERY easily influenced when I'm hungry. Watched your video while I was very hungry and now I'm in love with ramen tacos as a midnight snack lol

I fell asleep watching nfl highlights and woke up to this I’m so confused

You forgot the main ingredient to all her food recipes *cola*

I mean technically there's nothing wrong with using instant ramen like this, without the seasoning/herbs and stuff added it's just a fairly nuetral carb so even in desserts it's not that dissimilar to using rice in a rice pudding or something

I can't believe this is almost 3 years old. I've watched it so many times lol

Imagine walking in on your significant other cooking dinner and then you realize it’s ramen noodle tacos

"Grandma's ramen apple pie." Whose grandma made ramen apple pie?

"It's yoh girl Cathy". You cannot not mention Jaboody Dubs when talking about Cathy Mitchell

I love how BrutalFoods started it as a joke, but now it's genuinely my favorite series by him.

I get irrationally excited when one of these videos appears in my sub feed

Kathy must have done some time in prison because these are all commissary recipes

“It’s ya girl Cathy” I can’t unhear the dub over voice of her. Still she’s a whole mood and she cooks with the power of Coppah.

Ian using a dry ingredients measuring cup instead of one meant for liquid to measure out the water for his ramen is one of the simple pleasures of watching this channel

I always look forward to Ian's videos because no matter what he's reviewing or doing, it's always a spectacle. It's truly amazing.

Your editing gets better every video.

This is the kind of thing I’d make at 2 am while I’m high af.

I highly enjoy the added sound fx plus the quote ..."she's given us some dumps. That's what she's known for" 🤣🤣🤣

Oh god that commercial looks like an adult swim sketch. I refuse to believe that any human has ever enjoyed ramen apple pie

*_INFUUUUSED WITH THE_* *_POWAH OF RED COPPAHHHH_*

It frustrates me to no end that Ian hasn't figured out that heating up the knife blade will help cut through the chocolate much easier lol. But this is why I love him

i love this editing style wtf its so unique but so cool

that "YeS CoOLA" gets me every time

came here from watching professional sashimi chefs dance their knives expertly over live fish. Then im treated to brutalmoose trying to cut one block of chocolate. Truly equals.

Please do more of these recipes I’m so intrigued by the cola one and now I need to know what it’s like

It's pretty hard to tell why she would not want to be associated with that cookbook anymore. Every single Recipe is a masterpiece.

Hearing scraping sounds while watching him stir with a metal spoon on a nonstick saucepan makes me wanna yank my hair.

Game critic to chef, and with facial expressions like that you might as well become an actor.

For an actual good ramen recipe, make a topping for traditional or Asian inspired coleslaw. Melt a shit ton of butter on low heat, crush a bag of ramen and add to the butter (optional: add almond slivers), cook until the butter is absorbed and the ramen is crispy. Add the seasoning packet or replace with your own seasonings. Let cool and top onto coleslaw, salad, or just snack on it Another one is just add a soft to medium boiled egg (marinated in soy if you have the time), veggies, hot sauce, chives, cilantro, hot oil or sesame oil, or whatever you want really. The best way to enjoy ramen is just to dress it up with things you already have in your fridge I highly recommend reading the recipe book "Prison Ramen." The recipes are pretty hit or miss, but the real life prison stories in it are worth the purchase alone. It's also a really beautiful book

Brutalmoose is honestly such a blast. You can watch his videos while drunk, or sober, and still enjoy it either way. All hail the mighty spagooter tacos

Ian went through the five stages of grief tasting the s’mores

I think that the Channel has been taken over by evil Ian.

Ramen joy was never actually published so the cookbook he has is the only cookbook

I’m so immature, I still laugh at Cathy Mitchell’s Dump Dinners.

This is the "I would have made this when I was six years old and just let wild in the kitchen" cookbook.

I like the editing. I recognize that there are other KZfaqrs with way better editing, but I really dig your style it’s kind of like a YTP. (Stop suggesting me other KZfaqrs I was simply stating that I like Ian’s editing style.)

It is such an odd thing with Cathy Mitchell's Ramen Joy cookbook. The Cookbook doesn't exist. They aired the infomercial in the hopes that people liked it and unfortunately it tanked hard. So the cookbook isn't so much a product of lost media, its a product of non produced media. But, since the Ramen Noodle Recipes is basically a copy paste of what it would have been, it serves as the lost book.

"You have actually been looking at the dessert this entire time" Only see BrutalMoose. I mean yeah, you look like a snack. I'll give that to you.

It was only just now that I realized 11 episodes in that this is in fact a cooking show

“Ramen noodle cookbook”, for that friend that’s going to prison.

*11:23* [Jazz continues Despite Ian's upset] even subtitles knows he doesn't like it

So it turns out Ramen Joy was never actually printed, but a different book with mostly the same recipes (the one seen in this video) eventually was. A channel called DimesAreTasty has a video about this and they even did an interview with Cathy, I would recommend checking it out

Hopefully there'll be a part 2 where you make and eat the ramen pizza. That sounds like an amazing disaster.

Hey Ian just a heads up. Dont use your metal silverware to stir stuff in your pan. Espically nonstick it will ruin you pans and you'll get bits of the pan coming off in your food. Use rubber/silicon cooking utensils so you don't ruin them. Love ya keep up the good work.

“Flavored with Meat” has always been the most repulsive thing a pasta sauce can put on their jar. There’s got to be something less gross you could say. I’ve always avoided those jars, even when I’m going for something extra meaty.

When your stoner friend says he's making something special for dinner tonight:

That cookbook should just be called "Struggle Meals"

Love your videos. The contrast of high quality editing and low quality culinary technique is perfect.

I just discovered your channel yesterday, which happened to be my birthday, and they have given me countless laughs!!! I love love love your content & look forward to more amazing videos 😄😄😄👍🏻🤡

I'm still recovering from "love that cronch" and the speechless/chewing buildup that accompanied it. Absolutely sent.

"Brutal moose eats cursed images"

It’s the poor man’s version of iCarly spaghetti tacos.

"Ramen Noodle Pizza!" Okay, seems fine. "Ramen Noodle Beef Pasta!" ...Looks gross. "Ramen Noodle Apple Pie!" _what_

Dude .. I loved this video. U were so careful not to waste.. could you please make more from the book.

"I'm not gonna dirty up a knife for this." [Proceeds to use two knives to cut chocolate after having already used one to slice a tomato]

Honestly, this seems more like a recipe book for people who are on tight budgets and can't afford things like meat and graham crackers, but can afford ramen since it's incredibly cheap. I'm sure there's a way to make some good, unique meals out of ramen, but these just don't seem to be hitting the mark.

I am watching this for the second time. If I had to cook with Ian , I would be on the floor doubled over in laughter from the taste testing the ingredients,especially the block of Mozzerella. Love these videos!

"I've never heard of Spaghetti tacos before" *ICarly flashbacks*

I really love your editing style, Ian. It's entertaining and engaging.

I used to crush my ramen in the bag and put the seasoning on the raw ramen. I called it my homemade chicken chips.

Ian's editing never gets old.

So, I'm the one who originally uploaded the Ramen Joy informercial onto KZfaq, and it's wild to see a video like this get millions of views as a result. Fantastic stuff! I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment of Mystery Tapes

11:58 "Who's putting noodles in taco shells? Who is doing that?!" *Spencer from iCarly eagerly raises his hand*

i can't believe it doesn't even call for seasoning let alone salt and pepper smh

As a kid, me and my friend just straight up ate raw ramen and put the seasoning on top. honestly, i kinda miss it (was diagnosed with celiac so i can't eat ramen anymore)

“ I’ve never heard of spaghetti tocos” Ian has canonically never seen iCarly

YES! I WATCH THESE BRUTALFOODS RELIGIOUSLY! WE HAVE ANOTHER FOLKS!

I’m in college right now and this seems like a genius idea I might make

This reminds me of the episode of friends where Monica has to make recipes using mockolate. It’s like someone told her she needed to make this book and she threw together some BS.

Does anyone else think that these videos are really relaxing

I always eat food when watching these videos, usually something related to whatever you are making! this time i ate chips and salsa to get that "taco feel". I have to say it gets me more into the video and I can not wait for more!

Most people who tried Ramen Tacos would ask, “What even is this?!” But BrutalMoose asked the most important question. *”Why?”*

I would make curry flavour super noodles, in toasted buttered pita breads and then tuna mayo all over the top, that was my ramen recipe I loved it back in the day!

Thats so sweet they sent you the book and the picture aw i love ally and nathan

So, was iCarly referencing Cathy Mitchell's recipe or was that just one huge coincidence? Wait, too late. I'm already headcanoning that Spencer Shay has that exact cookbook hidden in his kitchen but told Carly he made spaghetti tacos up himself.

i was caught off guard when i heard her actual voice thanks Jaboody Dubs

...yeahhhh im starting to believe cathy has been to prison at least twice in her lifetime😂😂🤣

Spaghetti tacos are amazing and have been around for a long time as a way to eat leftover spaghetti so I can see this working. You probably just didn't use enough sauce or the wrong kind of sauce and needed some kind of meat to offset the other textures.
