She never talks about prisoners like they're anything other than people. I respect her so much she's the sweetest youtuber by far.

The prisoners who came up with this were totally there for petty weed charges

I had vodka meme flashbacks when she was pouring the hot sauce

"How much sodium is in this?" "Yes."

I actually love this so much. My dad and I don’t have a relationship anymore but this was one of only things he knew how to make, and he’d make it for us. pathetic but a semi loving memory

"Some hot sauce to taste" *continues pouring in Tapatio for the next 4 minutes until the video ends*

This looks alarmingly like something a college student would do. Source: I'm a college student

The pickle part had me cracking up! That's a bit graphic!! HAHAHA!!

We usually have plastic knives. We'd never have a can, the chili comes in a bag. Great video !! Thanks. *Did a bit of time in Maine doc.

Emmy: "They don't really have knives in prison, do they?" Inmates: >.>

😂the look on Emma's face with the pickle "its pretty graphic"😂

For anybody curious about some pro tips from somebody who learned about this stuff the hard way, pre-cook the ramen in plain water (in the bag) before adding all the crushed chips and whatever sauces so that they don’t get diluted (and you can use less of the soup packet this way.) (Use the soup packets sparingly because they are your best friend when eating the flavorless slop trays) If the spread is too dry add more hot water to your liking but most recipes require that it not be soupy, sometimes on the dry side if making a makeshift dough. There’s a lot of recipes that are considered “spread” my favorite is the “manwich”. Also, the combination of Raisin Bran and crushed sugar cookies with some grape jelly maybe a banana and peanut butter, and some milk. Great Friday breakfast for the people who can’t afford commissary. Crushed cheez it’s or hot cheese puffs mixed with a tiny bit of hot water makes a thick sauce that coats the ramen, can mix in spicy instant refried beans for a really nice flavor and the beans makes it more filling. Ultimately everything can be made to your liking (unless it’s a collaborative effort) Spread was one of the only positive things that happens in a very dark place. It’s not gourmet, but it keeps peoples spirits high, and if you’re in there, putting your weight up on the bar, you need the fuel.

EmmyMadeInPrison would be an awesome Netflix series.

Conspiracy Theory: emmys been in prison herself, that’s how she knows all these recipes. 😂

When prison foods look better than school lunches.

Reminds me of being 10-11 years old, learning how to cook.. just throwing whatever you find in the pot and hoping for the best

You can never say that you're not educated, or entertained by Emmy. 😂

Emi you remind me so much of my favorite elementary school teacher. You just exude such a calm, nurturing, and intelligent energy and watching your videos feels so comfy and nostalgic.

"Little graphic, isn't it?" God I love you. You treat everyone with respect AND you can poke fun at everything. I am so subbing to you.

If I ever go to prison I’ll be fully prepared because of Emmy

As a person who knows about prison meals and so forth my bf said you are awsome emmy way to go perfect execution

OML! You and that pickle! Almost fell over.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐝🍜🍱

i really love how you deal with and present this topic, thank you for the respect and dignity.

Holy crap I nearly spit my drink out when she says, "it's a bit graphic" and looks into the camera. She's awesome.

2:49 Lol yes...yes that was graphic 😂

The pickle part! 😂 Oh Emmy. You had me laughing out loud.

6:43 the face that she makes after every first bite no matter what she's eating leave me at the edge of my seat lol🤣

I’m always amazed by the ingenuity of people in prison.

I like your comment about cooking these dishes as boosting morale. I don't think I personally know anyone who has been to jail, so sometimes the whole concept can feel quite foreign, and when you first started doing this series, I just thought that these dishes looked really horrible and I felt bad that the people in jail are not able to eat healthfully. But your comments and compassion really show another side to it. You are a very loving person!

I love your prison recipe videos !

It ABSOLUTELY AMAZES me at how well you do your research and you are like a cooking for Dummies EXPERT!!!!!! GR8 book idea! I WOULD DEFINITELY buy it!!!!!!!!!

Something about you is just so real and genuine .. I never feel like you’re pretending or doing things for the camera .. you’re just here, doing some weird recipes, while recording. I love you! ❤️

Is this recipe's Origin from US prisons? It would be really interesting to see what kind of prison recipes other countries have.

That is a big papa..

“And a little bit of hot sauce” *adds 4 gallons of hot sauce*

“We need our bag to cook with”. This is too real. Emmy takes on mass incarceration in the United States with a charming cooking tutorial. The slamming the ramen on the floor. I’m dead. XD

The chips taste like barbecue and salt and vinegar? Gimme.

Dang, these slick music tracks in your videos lately have been amazing Emmy ✊

I love that she talks to us as if we plan to make these recipes 😂 she's the sweetest

OMG, I worked in DOC and every time the inmates would cook it would starve me to death. You think with the weird ingredients they have that it would be nasty but they make it smell so good. They can make anything out of ramen

"on our next episode, well be making pruno and discussing shank making techniques " lol.. just messin, cool video!

I absolutely love the prison videos!!

I really respect how inclusive you are, thank you

"They don't have knives in prison, do they?" Tell that to the dude who gets shanked.

You’re a beekeeper?! If so PLEASE make beekeeping videos (there’s an audience for it lol I promise$

oh my god that pickle shot 😂😂😂

emmy ur vids bring me so much comfort thank u

In Canada those are called All Dressed chips. You can get them everywhere. They are my favourite

Amazing video as always Emmy, currently 01:07 here in UK! Was up waiting for your post. Great job!

A virtual carnival of MSG. 😉

I love how you try to remain true to the processes! Love your channel! Keep it up- Emmy!

I love you Emmy watching your videos helps so much with everything that is going on in my life they keep my mind busy :)

I‘m craving for this already but at the same I can see myself getting skin breakouts 😂

I screamed when she pulled out the tapatio. 😍 that’s my absolute favorite with chips and lime 😋

i love how you're not super judgey about the food you make or where it comes from- besides the informative and easy to follow walk through each recipe, i definitely stick around for your kind personality 😊

Prison recipes are my fav of yours, Emmy!

I love how Emmy is totally non-judgemental

When I was locked up the big shabang was so good. For desert I'd take a honey bun, spread peanut butter on it, sprinkle crushed up Butterfinger on it and have a nice cup of Keefe instant coffee 😈. Eastern regional jail in wv

My husband works as a CO at our local prison and he brought me a bag of those chips home today! I’ve waited 2 years to try these. They are amazinggg. Came back to find this video while I eat them.

This reminds me of my sweet friend the summer of 2015 who taught me about prison spread and Trap Queen.

This feels like something you would make the first time your mom lets you stay home alone lol

I love this series almost as much as fruity fruits (we need more fruity fruits please, btw)

sounds like alldressed chips which we have here in Canada ruffles makes the best ones!

Awesome, I saw the MSNBC one too and was going to make this spread for my coworker's at work tmrw, Thanks for the extra details so now it'll look like I know what I'm doing :D

You are an amazing person, I watch your shows on different kinds of culinary dishes and your insightful thoughts are awesome but I always find it immaculately great when you make prison foods. I am happy that you understand the gravity of this concept of cooking, because it was more than survival in the system and against all odds this level of cooking brought peace to an ex con like me. Domo Arigatou, Emmy San ❤

seems like it would be a really good food for when you just need something filling and hearty.

Watching Emmy always makes me smile.

Only Emmy would taste a spread and say “delightful!” lol Emmy you are a treasure-these are so kind and respectful. ❤️❤️❤️

These sound like All Dressed flavored chips you can get in Canada.

Every one of your prison recipe videos have been fantastic along with every other video you make. "Because this is my spread and not yours," hopefully someone will get that reference.

These chips are the currency in jail second to TOP RAMEN.

I love the unexpected comedy that you get on Emmy's channel... literally on every video I'm laughing at some type of antic. 😂

Never have I been to prison but I live for these prison recipe videos! ❤️

Stoner food

i love this series

What I love the most is how positively lovely you are sampling food invented in prison. Bravo!

Actually, I’m a ramen baaag!

Well, if you defied all logic and ended up in the big house, at least you'll know what to cook for yourself in there... :D

The stuff after the credits always cracks me up! Always worth waiting for!

Straight to the video. LOVE THAT!!!🤗

6:28 the inmates knew they were eating good that day

Prison food hacks might as well be for college students.

I love how you don’t limit yourself in the foods you eat. You are so inclusive of different people and groups, and respect their ways of food. This is why you are such an amazing channel. We love you Emmy 🤗

The best way I would describe you and your show is "life giving-warmth." You have the heart of Mary Poppins but with out all the witch craft. I have been struggling trying to find my place in this world as far as a job/career path and even just a place to live where I feel safe and ok for me and my dog . Reasons to laugh , or just be content even is becoming harder and harder to find as I go on. I always find myself cracking up to things that you say that I am sure you didn't even mean to be that funny if at all : "Yeah, it's a little graphic . Isn't it?," As you simply try to push a pickle out of its packaging. Hahah You are clever. light hearted and your show is such a great escape for me. Thank you so much for always brightening up my day even when I felt there was no way that could happen .

Hearing your description of the flavour of those chips puts me in mind of the all dressed flavour we have in Canada. I hear that they aren't a thing in the States, so I wonder if you've ever tried them. They're quite good :)

'When you are in prison sharing and caring is important to you...' lol, you are so cute.

This looks so good omfg

The pickle...yea, ive never felt such a social connection with people over my phone. And was a surprise too, which is great! I laughed till i cried.🤣😂😁

You should get yourself a prison jump suit for the prison recipe videos

It’s alarming how easily she can cut a pickle with the top of a can

I appreciate the care you took with speaking about prison

That is soooooo coooolllll!

To counteract the raw tongue feeling when eating fresh pineapple, add a little salt to your pineapple and let it just rest in the salt mixture for a few minutes.

Thanks for aLL You Do. She Not Only Cooks aLL Kinds of Stuff but Tries it. Very Informative & It's Also Seems to be a Blend or, Well, Would Make Great ASMR Videos, Great Content 1000%

The way she said "because they don't really have knives in prison, do they?" when she was cutting the pickle with the can lid. I heard Mr. Rogers through and through. So wholesome❤

Omg my tummy hurt from laughing about the cute way she smashed the ramen on the floor and then the pickle " look" BWAHAHAHA! Oh I'm crying lol hahaha heehees oh ! I'm hysterical ! Love you Emmy! I love to learn new things and this is the funniest and best way to do so! 💖❤💞💝❣

Emmy: “That is a very large pickle.” Michael Scott from The Office: “Thats what she said.”

When she said, "quality control", that' be two whole bags for me.

I love that she is making a swole!!! Like Emmy will literally try anything and is so humble. That's why I watch her religiously

I really want to try this now!
