Best explanation i heard is that chicken taste like 'default meat', while other meats actually have their unique flavor. So chicken does not taste like chicken, but simply basic meat. And most other meats of course taste like meat, too.
To be fair, this may be a post-scarcity mess hall. Or, failing that, meals may just be provided for those who work the station/ship/whatever they were on.
'Like a big, juicy caterpillar' Which implies this man is abnormal among even regular humans and has, in his eternal quest to sample all forms of food, has eaten caterpillars.
Lol the fact is that a human would probably consider eating aliens before realising said aliens where as intelligent as humans, it would make for an intresting BBQ.
The full slack face wibble during Korlaxs 'throaty Oorlakian laugh' was PerRrRrfect. I laughed so hard I had to pause. Just what I needed since I had just finished watching "The Whale". This was a wonderful counterpoint to the 2 hours of constant tears! Thank you so much!

Fun fact on humans is we started as scavengers, witch gives us the ability to eat most things, a trait we expanded on. Half of our normal food items are considered toxic in nature
Yeah...I don't expect aliens to understand human food. Even humans don't even understand all we each eat. We have a bizarrely broad palette as a species, and insanely varied tastes.
@@islandmaster5064 Not even then; ever heard of _fugu_ ? One wrong slice by the chef, a millimeter or two off, and it can and will kill you (the muscle tissue isn't poisonous, but the internal organs are deadly).

You did a really excellent job with the alien voices--well done! 👍👏 This story was like watching the audience react to someone tackling all of the entries at the World's Hottest Chili Cook-off! 😆🤯 Would love to hear more from this particular author! ☺
I've seen this gag before. HUman in a skit among aliens eats something utterly delicious to them until told exactly what it is in human terms. One Giligan cut later? Cue human evacuating their stomach into the nearest bathroom. Mass Effect has it where Quarians and Turians can eat each other's food but not humans.
>steak, cooked rare enough to still be red and juicy Yes... >cooked over an open flame Good... >covered in ketchup So you have chosen violence. The best way to cook a steak is in a cast iron skillet you've seasoned with beef tallow; cook it with butter, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and just a hint of rosemary. Rare or medium-rare. If your meat needs sauce, then your meat's no good. Cooking in a splash of Worcestershire sauce (UK recipe, not the American version that adds ridiculous amounts of sugar and eliminates the MSG) or mushroom ketchup is acceptable if you're going for a specific flavor profile, but you only use a small amount as it cooks, it isn't used as a dip or to cover the steak.
Balut taste like duck broth when you drink the soup . After that add salt and eat the whole thing ( find it best to eat it this way) but if the white of the eeg is too hard -do not eat it, and if its soft (this would be my favorite part)
2:34 I have to agree with Korlax. It is desecration to put ketchup on steak, or at least I want to say there are far better options when you cook it to the dryness of Ghandi’s flip-flops.
makes sense; alien eats > human eats > cow think of it like this human eats > pork/chicken eats > cockroaches eats > dung i sympathize with aliens because i wouldn't eat that crap either... ;+)
1:25 I mean, mukbang exists and some of the things eaten there are, in fact, still very much alive and trying to escape. This entire story made me hungry.
Considering how creatures on Earth have different dietary requirements, such that what is food for one beast is toxic for another, I would say this human has a pretty cavalier attitude towards unknown alien food. He is a future nominee for The Darwin Awards. Some kind of food analysis would be required before trying alien food.
Wait, they're horrified by the idea that humans eat the flesh of animals and sometimes while its still alive or young yet one table over is a group eating live larva?
God the difference is preference in textures and flavors per human can be so different like to see a similar story but with a group of humans and a group of different aliens 👽❤😊
I prefer my food to be quite dead and fully cooked before I eat it. Raw veggies or fruit is one thing, but anything not fully cooked is just . . . icky. (I am painfully aware that my taste in well done steak is an abnormality.)
yea worked in a butcher shop (prcoessed alot of meat for local farmers and hunters), my pork is always well down, steak is close/is depending. when you see some of the parasites that the animals have sometimes, yea......
I recently found a taste in undercooked chicken. Basically - i take the frosen chicken, break it apart, roll it into foil after bating it in a salt (still frozen) and throw into a pressure cooker with a bit of water for 15 minutes of pressure cooking. What comes after is a pieces that are raw on the inside but are boiled on the outside. When I need to eat it - I just drop ot into a pan with a layer of water or into a microwave (it is important to expose the raw part so it coos good.). The result is quite juicy, diet and tasty meat, that won't dry. And it also doesn't give you a risk of indigestion, since all possible parasites and undesired stuff are boiled out or burned out by microwaves.
This reminds me of Mass Effect chatter.
"What is chicken? And why does half of everything in the galaxy taste like it?"
You know, when put like that, I think the reason chicken tastes like everything, is because the chicken will pretty much eat anything...
@@TarsonTalonBut pigs WILL try to eat anything!😂
@@TarsonTalon that would be pigs too, but they taste different
@@gansetsukon It is what the OTHER half of everything tastes like. XD

Who the heck kills a steak by using ketchup on it? Sacrilege.
only thing i can think of is its
A hamburger steak.
or
B there thinking any tomato-based condiment is ketchup aka most BBq's and some steak sauces.
One orange blob who used to be president puts ketchup on steak.
@@BagoPorkRinds You do know ketchup on a steak is not uncommon, right?
@@supremecaffeine2633 Like what the OP just said, its a sacrilege to put ketchup on steak unless you're one of those mental cases who likes that.
@bagoporkrinds So is eating beef that's still pink.
The cheapskate was just fishing for a free meal! Personally, grabbing food off someone else's plate should be a justification for war.
When not for total extermination.
Definitely.

@@SephirothRyu That's no excuse for taking food out of someone else's plate.
'Like a big, juicy caterpillar'
Which implies this man is abnormal among even regular humans and has, in his eternal quest to sample all forms of food, has eaten caterpillars.
In my culture, we eat caterpillars. They are a delicacy. Google mopane worms
You don't want to know what I ate during jungle survival training in the US Army.
Must be an Aussie, they got witchety grubs
Insect are often a good source of protein. That being said........I'll stick to the stuff I'm accustomed to.
Next episode: the human cooks arrive. First extragalactic BBQ banquet.
Human: "Mwahaha, it was my plan all along! I tried your foods, now it's time for you to try mine! Hot sauce, anyone?"

WITH STYLE.
WITH GUSTO
... and then he spent the following two days on the toilet, experiencing many new interesting flavors of stomach pain.
Bravo! An excellent delivery of not only the different voices, but of the emotions as well. It elevates the story in ways an AI never could.
Not only aliens think that ketchup should not be on everything 😂.
I hope all that came out as easily as it went in. The stations excretory facilities might become overloaded.
Of all the SciFy/HFY I've listened to, THIS! This one is the best so far! If I said this on other channels, I was wrong.
glad u think so! hope you stick around for more ;)
FINALLY! A narrator you can see and he does ALL the character voices!!!
It does honestly throw me off slightly that I am watching a human face speak for the alien characters, but he is a great narrator and this minor issue can literally be solved by scrolling down a little.
Ooh he's trying different voices now. Good job.
7:44 This awkward line is delivered so well.
Just like middle school best way to make friends is to be oddly entertaining and willing to eat crazy stuff

@@StarboundHFY any sci-fi man vs food stories you want to tell? Any human food contests that scare aliens just talking about it?
This reminds me of a quote from another story
"Feed it to the Human"
So who wants to bet that those aliens will want to create an Intergalactic PETA? 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Fun fact on humans is we started as scavengers, witch gives us the ability to eat most things, a trait we expanded on. Half of our normal food items are considered toxic in nature

But it makes a bad steak palpable.

The barbaric ritual known as a Barbeque. this is why its a BARB eque. such BARBARITY! yum
Have you seen the barbecue vegetables and barbecue fruits along side the meat?
Grandpa max, is that you?
Meanwhile at earth "Max why did you not tell us about your long lost among the star other grand son?"
Was waiting to see if said human had some trouble from food that is toxic to humans but not the alien who eats it.
Your voice for Korlax sounds quite a bit like Rip Torn, the actor that played Zed in the Men In Black films
There is a reason man vs food is so popular "we humans feel the same way."
An actual human telling the story makes it so much better.
Thank you, it was tasty.
5:43 Even to us humans eating a dragonfly is disgusting I didn’t know people ate dragonflies

Live Space Mukbang is something I wouldn't have guessed I'd hear today, but I'm glad to see their reactions
I am definitely an omnivore. However, I draw the line at eating the head of a hairy oyster.
I imagine a strong southern accent with each new dish met with a fond recounting of 'this one time, out in the bayou...'
Your voice for the human sounds almost identical to Doc from Red VS Blue. I like it.
1:25 I mean, mukbang exists and some of the things eaten there are, in fact, still very much alive and trying to escape.

Wow. That guy was taking mooching to the next level😅😅😅
This vid had me craving some "Balut"!
4:32 just wait until they find out about a peculiar dish in the Philippines that has almost the same description as these:)
Humans can ABSOLUTELY take others food BUT NEVER TOUCH A HUMANS PLATE
Love the different voices 😂😂
in real life. the human digestive system has acid. stronger than found, it is among the strongest on earth.
I like the alien with the Southern accent having trouble with steak
8:56 we eat anything and everything
