>sees squid >says "they could make a game out of this" >laughs at his own joke >explains the joke certified ludwig classic

Good to see that Ludwig's community consists of both boys and women

As a Muslim whose fasting, hearing Ludwig say “Ramadan Mubarak” genuinely made me smile

As a Filipino I am saddened that Ludwig chosen balut to react instead of many other street foods like halo halo or kwek kwek but I am also happy to see how shocked he was with it

“It’s crazy how it went from just a flood of white to beautiful balls.” -Ludwig Ahgren, 2022

"What is Balut?" This line is so goddamn funny. I love seeing people discover Balut, they never see this shit coming.

I'm Danish and that smørrebrød didn't look as appetizing as the stuff you can just buy at the store. Idk what the hell they did to thing.

0:02 “and i took that personally”

As a Muslim, hearing Lud saying Ramadhan Mubarak was really sweet

The citric acid in lemons and limes does "cook" things but it doesn't properly kill the bacteria. It denatures the proteins which technically "cooks" it without actually using heat

Glad to be included i honestly wasn’t expecting the women intro

Lud: We'll be lookin' at Streetfood all over the world! Me, a Filipino: *Oh No* Lud: Says Philippines and proceeds to Show *Balut* Also me: *Well Shi-*

"I am vegan until it's dinnertime" I believe this with every fiber of my body.

Dude imagine the only video starting with Women instead of BOIS is about cooking food. Food for thought Ludwig

I go to Italy just about every year. I've had my fair share of mediocre pizzas in Italy. But I've also had pizzas in Italy that beat the best pizzas from other countries by a mile. I think 4 pizza places is way too small a frame of reference to draw any conclusions from. Especially if you've got such a tiny frame of reference when it comes to locations you've been. I've had amazing pizzas around Naples and Bari as well as around Ancona and Venice. My main tip would be to avoid the tourist traps and look for a more local pizza place away from the main streets. From my experience they're way cheaper and better in every single way. I think it's because they don't feel the need to adapt to what the tourists might prefer and I think that's how you get a more authentic pizza.

He's dissing smørrebrød but it is some of the most delicious and healthy dishes I have ever eaten for lunch.

Finally recognized as a part of the Ludwig community.

As a filipino, picking Balut as the first thing to see as streetfood is mistake LOL

5:35 This is so good! I usually have it layered with mayo, cheese, and tajin seasoning.

You should do one of these with different countries desserts. In the Netherlands there’s a dessert called Stroopwafel that’s extremely good and I’d love to see some other cultures desserts

it's always amusing seeing other people's reaction to Balut.

“Moo-barak” my man 😭

sitting in bed shotgunning shredded cheese as I watch this video

0:10 Lud: "I hope you are not hungry when you watch this video" Me fasting for Ramadan and watches the whole thing anyway

*A boiled fertilized duck egg Ludwig: 0/10 PASS *An actual live sea cockroach moving on the batter as they were fryed into despair Also Ludwig: 10/10 would smash fr tho there are other more satisfying street food in The Philippines, and they chose balut. BIG L

Ludwig insulting the danish bread Had me laughing. I wouldn't survive in the US with the fluffy air they call bread 😂

3:57 Bro you screamed so hard you broke my headphones and made me hear on the left side only 💀

Spinning pizza doe was a childhood skill everyone wanted to know know.

3:58 why did lugwig’s reaction have to scare me so bad lmao

The funny thing is that the shaved ice-cream is such a niche streetfood of a small part of India... if you visit different places, we have waayyyy crazier and interesting street foods like Pani Puri, Jalebi, Poha, Idli Wada, Samosas, a bunch of chicken dishes like Chicken Tandoor, Momos, and just a whole bunch of awesomeness Love from India

9:26 Ludwig, I’m not from Hong Kong but they sell this in Singapore and some people ( like my grandparents)eat the duck’s head I don’t know how and I also think that they keep the duck head there to show it’s not like processed meat from the supermarket, it’s a full chicken/duck they cooked but idk it’s just a ✨theory✨

It's way too satisfying to start eating something with rice and some sauce and meat and have the rice absorb the sauce while you're eating it

Street food videos is my comfort content that I usually go for when I’m bored or feeling down. Thx Lud! I’m from China and my favorite local street food is syrup-coated hawthorns. You remove the core of 6-10 hawthorns and put them on a stick. Then you dip it into syrup and wait for it to crystallize. I agree with Lud that condensed milk is so underrated. I always enjoyed dipping toast or fries into them.

I had a Russian neighbor who's mom used to make 12:30 as snacks for me and him, and I can't begin to describe how hard those went.

The Smørrebrød from Denmark, comes with many different toppings. There's everything from Fish Fillet with Remoulade and Garnishes, Meatballs with a fancy sauce and Garnishes, there a big variety, and it is more of a Gourmet-y Fancy Food, than street food. Typically what we got in Denmark are Hotdog Stands, and Kebab places. Streetfood isn't the biggest thing in Denmark.

4:22 I don't think we draw lines below what we do, I think we do just beyond where our lines are drawn

0:24 Lud saying "Ramadan Mubarak" so sweet

as a Dane that smørebrød was like the gourmet version of smørebrød which is trash, you have to get traditional smørebrød

"You're being a baby if you say no to mushrooms" ~~ Ludwig 2022

Ludwig screams at boiled duck eggs but laughs at shrimps getting fried

3:58 thanks Ludwig for waking uo everybody in the room👍

Lud: "let's journey to the Philippines" Me: oh no Lud: "Balut?" Me:OH NO Lud: "Soft boiled egg?" Me: *Thinks it's just penoy* oh okay, that's alright I guess Lud: OH NO Me: OH NO

I swear mexican streetfood is like what a 5 year old would make if he was home alone.

That Ramadan Malik was too cute "It is Ramadan for you? O..... shit" 30 seconds and already laughing my ass off

As a “wamen” i approve of this message. Though you completely skipped Turkish/Mediterranean street food

Ludwig has made me stay up later just to watch his videos and streams but still love it

1:41 chat "he's a thrower not a shower" lol

that dude who mentioned canobie lake's fried dough, the real mvp

You know you were underpayed when you make sandwiches in a pizza shop.

The “women” really threw me off I felt like he was looking through my phone and into my soul

I love the chat warning Ludwig about Balut but him still being gullible enough to watch.

ceviche is such a lowkey genius way of preparing seafood, I don't understand how it isn't a worldwide known

As a veteran pizza thrower there be way more complex tricks you can do while throwing, it's all about proper finesse 🤣

im getting the "that's enough slices" vibe from ludwig

"you're being a baby if you say no to mushrooms" me being allergic to mushrooms

As someone from Brazil I get sad when Lud doesn't react to anything from here. But the video was great anyway!

Smørrebrød is GOATED, it doesnt look that amazing versus the others, but it is one of the best things ever and is super versatile

the denmarks bread is so good its famous in all scandinavian countries

9:29 said the french revolutionists calmly

BRO THE GUY THAT SAID HE WAS ON RAMADAN CAME THE FUCK BACK AT THE BALUT THING AND SAID "AND NOW IM GLAD IT'S RAMADAN" I CAN'T LMAO

Lud.. Smørrebrød is fucking pog! What you saw in the video though, sure that looked sus, but generally it’s awesome

6:53 I love condensed milk, specifically La Lechera on my waffles. IT’S BUSSIN’

a US resident talking about bread always makes me giggle

8:15 man explains food wars in 10 seconds

10:20 she isnt even squishing the limes, they still have like 3/4 of lime juice in it

Turkey’s street food is so good, tbh I’m shocked Turkey isn’t in this video

The privated stream incident. Aware

I thought ludwig was gonna pull a sommerset at the start but he said Ramadan Mubarak. Respect to ludwig

''they could make a game out of this food'' Im gonna say this whenever food is good

3:54 lmao I've had Balut before and that was my reaction when I first saw it too.

"That's something my Mom would say and I just don't believe that"

she did not look like she was thoroughly squeezing them limes

Luds chat calling for "hand checks" cause of the asmongold challenge has me dying

4:08 Not duck... Duckling!

Out of everything I wanted ludwig to see, he chose balot

"catch me with three balut in my mouth before i eat that"🤣🤣🤣

You know it's a good day if your uncle visits with a bag of Balut back in the day✌️

Foie Gras is not quite how you explained it..what really happens is they are force fed to get fattened up, then the liver is harvested. But yeah dude, a tube is shoved down their throat and then force fed. But that shit is mad tasty tho..

Lud out here building a parasocial relationship with pizza from Italy.

I’m so happy he said Ramadan Mubarak literally made me so happy

2:52 that's not an INDIAN INDIAN STREET FOOD...that's just some icecream...nothing INDIAN abt it...I was expecting something like samosas, pani puri, vada pav, aloo tikki, chaat,dosa...etc...but crushing the banana with the wheel was kinda funny 😂

Heres the thing about italian food. Theres good pizza everywhere, theres good pasta everywhere, theres good coffee everywhere. In a specific spot of your town you can probably find a ridiculously good pizza place. In Italy however (mind you im not italian so no bias here) you can go to the smallest most hidden plsce and theyll have good pizza, pasta or coffee. They are not top tier. They are just consistently good

"Mushrooms on pizza are good, you're a baby if you say no to mushrooms" FINALLY, SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS THE SUPERIORITY OF CHEESE AND MUSHROOM PIZZA

dude made me HANGRY

Bro... nah.... Ludwig really did India abysmally bad.. We have absolute BANGERS on BANGERS for street food, across the entire taste spectrum: I'm talking Pav Bhaji, Pani Puri, Uttapam, Jalebis, Papdi, hell even Dosas. Stuff that you'd find in every corner of the dang country. And hell, can we talk about the wholesome guy in manhattan that everyone knows for his single dosa truck that gets lines on lines during lunch hour. There's at LEAST a few dozen dishes in there that are leagues beyond... concrete ice???? where did he even get that from??? the middle of Indian timbuktu?? We have normal shaved ice here guys I promise :sob:

Thanks Ludwig for posting this midday while I'm fasting

4:20 "Balut is a fetal duck" - Mike Bustos

Not only is it a duck fetus, it's ALSO fermented. Belut is actually a Vietnamese creation.

That Ramadan Malik hit different. Thanks Lud

ngl there's plenty better indian street food that coulda been chosen but india is a big place with lots of food variety so ig thats fair

As a dane i actually died watching this it hurt so much saying this shit about the best food when lud hasnt even tried it lol. The worst part wasnt even what he said about the food it was that he thought we use euro

When he paused in the beginning, it was just long enough for me to think "what if he said girls instead," and yet I was somehow still thrown off

Ludwig not knowing what balut is was such a wild concept for me to wrap my head around

Damn that intro made me take womens lit next semester. Love seeing my close personal friend, Ludwig, making moves to defeat sexism.

I'm glad to finally be recognized in an opening of a Ludwig video.

almost any dish that involves rice, squid, and anything spicy is an immediate SS+Tier for me

Time to stay up even later. Thanks Ludwig

Make him eat Balut as punishment for future challenges

Bro Aussie Bunnings street food hit diffrent

How to solve world hunger? Just take them to the place where food is.
