      Actually there is a why to why he put water in there, its because the Chili Jam has a lot of sugar in it so the chili jam started to caramelize and burn so he put in the water to stop it from burning.

    I still have a burning grudge against Jamie Oliver. I was born and raised in West Virginia. And he came here to make our school cafeteria food 'better' because our state has one of the highest obesity rates. He didn't do anything except make most kids pack their lunches. My least favorite 'recipe' he implemented was his 'pizza bread'. Which was melted cheese, onions, and peppers with no kind of sauce at all on a hoagie bun. And like. Just the top of a hoagie bun. So seeing you guys react to his cooking makes me laugh cause its great to see other people see what we had to go through back when I was in middle/highschool.

    "...often associated with being unhealthy..."
    That's the problem right there. A lot of these Westerners ONLY view Asian cooking as unhealthy street food that should be avoided, ignoring the fact that they're eating street food that is often ultra-sweetened or ultra-salted to attract customers in a sea of vendors, or just viewing it from their own biases.
    Like dude, if I go out, I'm not getting fried rice. Maybe Nasi Goreng Pattaya or Seafood, but not egg-fried rice. I'm gonna get a Ramly Burger or Mango sticky rice, wash it down with sugar cane juice with a splash of lemon juice.

    • @TheHestya
      @TheHestya Год назад +27

      Yeah, you really can't judge a whole demographic's food habits by looking only at street food, or takeaway like here in UK. I'm Eastern European and my cuisine is often different from the locals in UK, although quite a few ingredients do match. But my people, we cook our own food. Going out even to McDonalds etc is a rare occasion. Here a lot of people do takeaways and it's quite weird to me. But I still wouldn't say it's most Brits. It's cheaper to cook your own food at home and the regular mortal can't afford to keep eating out. I think that's true all over the world. If I were to judge British people based on their takeout, they also don't eat healthy. But the chips I make in an air fryer at home are much healthier than the chips I can buy in a Fish and Chips shop down the road that have been boiled in the same oil that 50 kg of chips have already been boiled in, as it is for the Brits who make them in an oven at home.

      It’s really just ignorance. If Westerners mainly people in the USA think they have a “healthy” lifestyle and eating habits and mock other countries just laugh in their face. I know this may not speak for everyone cause many are not originally from the USA or may actually be trying to stay relatively healthy give or take a few cheat days. However, most do not eat healthy and we flaunt it with no shame. 🤦🏻 We have no right to mock other countries.

    Chef Paul's aussie accent is 10/10. Edit: also Vegemite isn't beef anything, it's a by-product of fermented yeast from baking and/or brewing. It tastes, according to an American guest panelist on one of our most beloved TV game/panel shows, like "spreadable beer".

      The only real taste difference between marmite and vegemite is the sweetness, having grown up on both in NZ. Always loads of butter, a thin spread of either is what's normally done. It's absolutely delicious under avocado on toast, adding the extra saltiness. As far as I know, bovril was originally made from beef? In Britain? But marmite and vegemite are yeast based.

He brought a group of elementary students into the kitchen and tried to show them what chicken nuggets are made of, and then proceeded to make a chicken nugget, and he asked who in the room would eat that. Every hand went up, despite them all agreeing beforehand that the ingredients were disgusting. The look on Jamie's face was god damn amazing.

    The sort of pre-cooked rice he uses is common in UK, you'll find it in all supermarkets. It saves people time and energy. It's very helpful when you live with fatigue, like myself, or are disabled, like my mother, as well as for the working people who work in factories, etc. and are tired after work, so it allows for a very quick dinner. It's usually called micro rice, as in microwaveable, because you don't actually need to put it on a pan or anything, you can just heat it up in a microwave and it's ready to eat. I am now ready to splurge on a rice cooker though, inspired by Uncle Roger.
    Taste wise it's not as tasty as freshly cooked or leftover rice, but I wouldn't say it's the worst. If you keep to the better brands, taste wise it's not bad if you mix it with a sauce and vegetables etc, like a pilaf or something like that. I would not eat it on it's own (I would eat freshly cooked rice on it's own if I had to, but not the pre-packaged one, but I'm a supertaster and am very picky with food) although I wouldn't say you have to completely hide it's taste or anything. I for example would eat some of the brands with just a sprinkling of nutritional yeast or have it with vegetables or something. Usually it is a bit dry, it has preservatives and oil in it to keep it good in the pack, and it always needs salt. It's a bit bland and I suppose tastes like you would expect old, but not spoiled, rice to taste. Like, a reasonable option if you need it, but not the greatest and certainly not what I expect to be served by a professional.

      To be fair, those pre-made flavored rice work just fine for a side dish if you are in a hurry, but for making what is specifically a Rice Dish it's kind of crazy...especially when it's a professional chef making the food. That being said, Rice Makers are great and in very little time you'll more than make up the money spent on one over the pre-packaged rice. You can also get a bit creative when making your rice using chick stock and adding garlic and spices to them while cooking. I use Auntie Liz's recipe for Rice all the time that she talks about when Uncle Rogers goes to her restaurant.

The pre-cooked rice is really the only thing, but you can't buy the own brand ones in a couple of shops because they do taste horrid.

    I decided to look it up cause it made me curious and before potatoes were brought to Europe in the 1500's, turnips were the staple starch in Europe, especially Scandinavian countries. It was to the point that rutabagas(which are similar to a large turnip) are/were referred to as "swedes" in some parts of the world. As someone who was in culinary school and is both part Scandinavian and part Irish, turnips are a fine substitute for potatoes for some things. For example, I had to make mashed turnips one time in class and they tasted 90% the same as mashed potatoes. They're both tubers. Plus, they don't have skin like potatoes do so, if you don't lie your mashed potatoes with the skins in it, it's even easier to make than mashed potatoes.

    Damn you're both so right about the French and specially documenting. As a historian who's also involved in food history, specifically Turkish cuisine it is so annoying that we have to guess so much for so many dishes. If i'm not mistaken Ottoman archives is the second richest archive in the entire world right after British archives. It is so rich that you can find almost every tiny little detail about what entered the palace's royal kitchen. For example an official who buys the groceries sometimes give out some little money to beggars while shopping for the palace and they even documented and kept the amount given to the beggars and kept it. Yet untill 19th century almost none of the cooks kept any recipe. It is annoying as hell. We do know what bought for how much and how many, we know what's been cooked but unless that dish has any other source we cannot say for sure of its recipe like whic ingredient used or how much its been used etc. Given that Turkish cuisine is one of the world's richest cuisines i just cant imagine how it would be if they would've kept more recipe. For example we're sure of Sultan Mehmed II the Conquerer loves sea food. So much so he had eventually had gout because of the amount he eats. Royal kitchen was full of escallop and jumbo shrimp from the Crimea region etc. But at the end of the day we just dont know exactly how they cooked them.
    By the way since the topic is on, it is actually pretty interesting the dish palate before maybe not potato but tomato in classical Turkish cuisine. Since tomato is also from the "New World", there's a lot of alternatives for that palate in Turkish cuisine. The most common ones are sour cherry and all kinds of plum, greengage, prune, dried apricot and many more this type of fruits. It is kind of sad to see actually that today's Turkish cuisine has lost almost all of these into tomato and they just remain there just for classical traditional dishes.

      @@classicallpvault8251 True, but i'm not that sure about it's gonna be that different. I mean the fruits are mostly sour and already been "tamed" since this is not ancient times and classical cuisine is mostly depend on the balance of different palates like sour and hot mostly or not that commonly sour, hot and sweet rather than just one type. These types of fruits mostly used with lamb and since tomato is actually pretty new thing like 150-200 years at most yet it is common(er) for about maybe 150 years at most, we know pretty much exactly what it's been before tomato. I'm saying that it is kinda sad because today its all about tomato unless you're making a classical/traditional dish spesifically that req. fruits. That's why we have a saying as if you have tomato paste and onion you can make any meal even if you cook stone it'll turn out great since tomato paste(salça as we call) and onion are the very base of almost every dish.
      Also we do know a lot about classical and traditional dishes since we have a lot of resources. Its just the tradition. In eastern tradition, even tho you would record literally the tiniest bit of information, the process is likely not to because its something has to go from master to student. Yet thank god we have a lots of variety in source so that we can learn exactly what they've been eating 800 years ago.

    Precooked rice is more for the emergency food as it's self stable but I also splurge for the Japanese brand for a reason. If I'm going to be without power due to bad storms I at least want something tasty

    I love Frenchie. BTW, between you and Uncle Roger, I asked my parents for a rice cooker for Christmas. I don't use it a lot, but perfect rice, every time. I even cooked brochan (oatmeal) in it and my ancestors cheered.
    Also, mint jelly with lamb is exactly like cranberry sauce with turkey. It just sits there as an option AFTER the lamb is cooked. You don't cook it with the lamb. You can use it, you can ignore it, you can put it on the side. I lived in the UK for three years and never had it, and Bird's Custard on every dessert known to man, eh, but clotted cream, oh my God. Steamed pudding without the custard. Anything with treacle. Pies, like actual savory pies made by someone who has a clue. Walking into Neal's Yard for cheese, and serving it with Branston's pickle, decent bread, and a big old pint of cider. A lot of it you can't get here. Admittedly, I ate a lot of Mediterranean food to get my greens, but it's not ALL bad. [You can't even get normal cider here! Go to a restaurant with ONE cider on the drinks menu and it's made with dragonfruit and the angels weep.]
    The problem with Jamie Oliver? The real problem? He's arrogant.
