  • Stop what you’re doing because this episode is an Ultimate Fusion Chef Battle! Drawn at random, our Chefs were given two cuisines that they must fuse together in a cooking battle. Ben was given German and Vietnamese, while James was given Peruvian and Filipino. Sounds easy, right...?

    Quinoa Salad: bit.ly/3abPjn0
    Vietnamese noodle salad: bit.ly/2WxL6Gc

      Bases and acids are present in our everyday life. Even if lye is composed mainly of sodium hydroxide, the strongest of the bases (ignoring superbases), it is not dangerous when you only eat the noodles, drink the solution and you are done for. Also, sure natural lye has impurities that contain mercury and chromium and that is why you must get food-grade lye, which is VERY pure. Again, because you are eating the soaked noodles, not the solution, and the lye itself is already so pure AND you don't eat lye everyday, your exposure to such heavy metals is so low it will NEVER do any harm. It is all about exposure.
      Or better yet, buy the pure chemical, sodium and potassium hydroxides.

      Ceileidh Mercer - I was watching a history channel RUclips which reminded us, this is actually not a very wierd time to be alive. In fact, for humans it’s the norm. World wars, bombings, earthquakes.... we are a lucking few generations that haven parents nearly sixty years of mostly peace. So I guess it adds some perspective. At least our homes aren’t being bombed.

We don't eat Sauerkraut that much, Blaukraut is much more common. And the last time I ate those pretzls was like in kindergarten??? Brezeln are like proper baked goods, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We do put beer into sauces though. Also Jamie: the only place germans eat hot dogs is at Ikea. I think Ben could have done a better job. BTW Mike did a perfect very good composition of common ingredients shared by southern germany/swiss/austrian regions back in the ultimate grilled cheese battle. I know you can do better. :)

      The thing is, you have to choose one primary and one secondary. You can't have two main dishes. James got very lucky that both of his countries had a matching traditional dish so he could just make it one way with the other one's sides. The only thing he used from Peru was quinoa and "inca style baked corn". Quinoa and corn, the two things latin America is known for producing. One might call it.. a stereotype?

      There is traditional basis to his take on adobo. My folks in Bohol have something they also call as adobo, which is closer to a Bagnet than the typical adobo which means it is more or less cooked by frying.

    Since everyone is working from home because of the virus, I think it would be a good idea to do a food quiz over a video call. So Ben and James come up with the questions and the normals answer them.

    Your videos have always been a relaxing form of escapism for me and my other half to watch when we just want to chill out or watch something to keep our minds off life for a while. They’re even more important at the moment! Thank you so much for being so fun and lovely and genuine and for making generally fun, entertaining and unique videos for us all to watch. We can tell you all have a ball making them which make them even more enjoyable for us to watch. Thank you. Xx

    You lads (and of course I mean the whole production team and respective families too!) stay safe, and thank you for making this stressful time a little easier for all your fans!
