He's right about racism affecting food. A pasta dinner is $30, yet it costs less than $10 to make at home. It's the fancy appeal commonly linked with Italian food. Compare that to Chinese food which is categorized as a cheaper food, which is just as delicious and fulfilling. That's why I'll always make pasta but never ever eat pasta outside. You're paying for the perception of pasta, not for actual pasta.
+R C Nice try Russian pretend liberal trying to spread your fake racist hate everywhere. Restaurants are more expensive because you have to pay the establishment, the workers, for the quality of atmosphere for the place you are eating in, no one is stopping you from eating 10 lbs of chillis and tacos from a boot out of a taco truck for a couple dollars.
+Sea lab is right there, it is not the prestige of a food that adds to the price, it's the location, the staff, the extras and the selection of food, drinks etc. that makes restaurant food more expensive. You're paying for the convenience of just ordering something, and leaving an hour or two later without needing to do any of the shopping, cleanup or any other prep.
I remember David Chang when he was on The Mind of a Chef. I always thought he had a great tv personality. Great to see him back hosting another tv show.
There's fascinating interactions between migration of parts of a population and the modification of their traditional foods as a part of their integration process into the population of their new home, I started by collecting traditional and "traditional" cookbooks when I moved out of my (stiflingly traditional Dutch cuisine focused) parental home, but it is not hard to follow some of the changes, it's really cool to look into how the food changes with the people, especially also because not all of those stories are nearly as dramatic and depressing as the origin story of fried chicken.
+jalila love Do you have a source to support your claims with? Invention and development are both part of history, and thus can be reflected on through anthropology. If he is incorrect on a certain issue, then present some evidence so we can have a propper discussion. As for propaganda, I am not sure this qualifies.
+jalila love Invention and development are both very important, not only one. In terms of invention, you are a 100% correct. Fried chicken was invented by the Scottish, which later immigrated to South America. Though some sources claim that the Scottish immigrants only began making fried chicken once they migrated to South America, then only after making it they introduced it to South America. But whatever the case the Scottish are the inventors.The Scottish were the first ones to fry their chicken while others, like the English, boiled or baked them. But that's all the Scottish did, they fried them. But as for development, Later, as the slave trade led to Africans being brought to work on southern plantations, the slaves who became cooks incorporated seasonings and spices that were absent in traditional Scottish cuisine, enriching the flavor. So even though the Scottish invented it, it was the slaves which developed and incorporated the flavors making the fried chicken that we have today. This is what David Chang is talking about in his show "Ugly delicious", the history between slavery and fried chicken. Hope this cleared things up.
+jalila love Where I come from, if you make a statement and it comes into question, it is your job to back it up. Its a basic rule of conversation. That is all, and you did back it up enough for the discussion in this latest comment. What you describe here about fried chicken makes sense. As for the Dayly Show being left leaning is beyond question, altho I think calling it propaganda to be an overstatement. But I agree that there is too much political segragation, not just with the Dayly Show, but with society in general. There must be room for discussion, or democracy will be lost eventualy. Extremism is never good, no matter if it is on the right or the left.
I find it so weird that watermalon is associated with black people in a negative way. We love it in Greece, as a summer fruit, why would anyone think watermelon isn't «cool»? Black Americans know what's right...
as in America. Things stop at the America border, including there history nothing new about that when they come over to Europ they compair to back home. Watermelons over the world ,Mediterraneans, Russians etc etc everybody loves them and nothing black about it at all , or any color of people.
I like how people forget most Southern type food came from natives. We had corn meal batter more similar to how catfish is fried in and we fried all kids of meats in it including chicken. We were stigmatised and ostracised and our food only became acceptable by other people that also weren’t on top in that society. Of course through removal and extermination campaigns our population was reduced and now our voices are so small that people forget our contribution.
You're right, Southerners largely invented a lot, including fried chicken. But for fried chicken, you guys invented it. While the slave trade developed it. The slave trade led to Africans being brought to work on southern plantations, the slaves who became cooks incorporated seasonings and spices that were absent in traditional Scottish cuisine, enriching the flavor. So whatever the case for fried chicken, the Scottish living in the South invented it. So the South definitely deserves gratitude too.
Usama Abdul I’m not talking about white southerners. I’m talking about the Native American tribes. Before Europeans came here we had fried foods with cornmeal batter. My tribe in particular invented Nixtamalization which is a process by which dried corn is soaked in alkali solution to dissolve the hemicellulose which unlocks the nutrients. This is how we created nutritious hominy which we ground into grits. This is also how we treated our cornmeal and made what the white southerners called “injun batter”. We fried many meats including catfish and turkey in this batter and this was the foundation for southern fried chicken. We actually used many spices that the black slaves embraced from us that the settlers rejected. Peppers were domesticated in the Americas and our cuisine is rich with them. People forget that things like cayenne was introduced to the rest of the world only after contact with the Americas. As a Native American (or as many like to call us incorrectly American Indian) its frustrating for our culture to be claimed as originating from others. It erases us from history much like the European invaders tried to erase us from the map.
Oh, i'm sorry. I understood your original statement wrong. And sorry for assuming you were a white southerner. But since were talking about Native Americans, then i wholeheartedly agree with you. Too much has been taken from the Native Americans without due credit. Sorry again for misreading your original comment.
I just finished the book I REALLY ENJOYED IT TREVOR! your mom is a hell of a woman may god continue to give you and your family BLESSINGS UPON BLESSINGS😘 😊
I totally agree with you. It's not the look that matters, what matters is TASTE. Can look as fancy as it possibly could, but that doesn't matter if it does not taste the part.
We watched the show on Italian pizza and then we made some ourselves. It was more difficult than we thought. And my girlfriend said: “ They didn’t even show how to make it!”
Rei The Leopold here isn't too wrong in his claim because we Koreans do have a higher than average rate of stomach cancer all thanks to our national obsession with spices but then again Leopolds themselves probably have clogged artery as their thing...One over the other. Same difference. ☺
Multiculturalism is so good because people can share their cultural foods and when you go to the normal supermarket, it's more common to see international aisles and that's great.
shoutenry no shit. That’s why I said “now”. I pointed it out for people who would think otherwise. Because as you should know, there are still some places that don’t have huge cultural shifts. There are countries and cities 40 years ago that still embrace and make the same foods and will never be known for anything else.
N. VA is a relatively big area. I wonder if he was in the semi-urban areas like Arlington or in the boonies like Loudoun. I'm 30 and grew up in NO-VA. The difference is I had a strong immigrant community around me, and I loved my culture's food regardless of teasing.
D. Foxx oh wow, Vienna has been known to be upper crusty and mostly white. It is a little more diverse in due to the work pop. boom, but it is still conservative as a family-friendly upper-income area. There are some pockets of Koreans and Hispanics on the borders near Alexandria.
So THAT'S WHY there that's scene in M.A.S.H.... I'm European and I never understood the scene where Hawkeye and Trapper paint a racist white guy's face and arms brown while he's sleeping. Then they wake him up and offer him fried chicken and watermelon. It scares the ... out of him cause he thinks he's "turning black". I never understood why anyone would be afraid of a fried chicken and a watermelon, I thought "wow, he's getting such a delicious meal in a war zone, why isn't he happy?" :-)
😊 As someone who lives in Korea, this resonated with me. The food is super ugly and doesn’t photograph well, but it IS delicious (well much of it anyway).
Will Pack I used to love eating kimchi when in my twenties and thirties... but now, in my sixties, I can't eat spicy foods as much...8t burns my mouth mow... I really miss eating kimchi.
Will Pack I love the stuff. I buy it at the market from a woman who makes it and I easily go through the container in a week. She must think I’m a crazy waykookin (foreigner) 😉 It is really stinky though, so hubby is less enthusiastic about me eating it daily.
i think tons of korean dishes are ugly because we don't serve it in a nice presentation. if you see how professional chefs arrange their food, it looks quite nice.
to me the point of making pictures of food to sell means your not doing your best to explain your dishes well. i think Korean food can be very pretty , but whats pretty and whats ugly and to who?.
I feel like that point he made at the end about cultural appropriation was glossed over way too much, but is so relevant right now. If any time someone becomes interested in something from another culture they are screamed at and told that it's not for them, then we make no progress and just erect bigger and bigger barriers between us.
"America is about cultural appropriation if it's done very well." He's absolutely right. Outside of the societal and cultural issues, america was the country of progress and advancement. Ellis island was made famous for recruiting dreamers into building a beautiful country.
Why you guys didn't say anything about Trump's cancellation meeting with North Korea? When are you guys will say something about what's going on in Brazil?By the way, I love you all! Has been a year that I won't miss a show! Well done Trevor and crew. Much love x
Couldn't agree anymore! I remember hated bringing my delicious lunch to school. I'd always rather bring a stale turkey sandwich in a zipper bag than one of my rich family stir fries in my pork sung container.
I thought it was interesting that they discussed how eating chicken is problematic from a historical perspective, linking it to slavery and racism/classism in America... They could have tied it into the ethics of factory farming and chicken processing plants in the South. If anyone has a burgeoning interest in cutting back on or giving up certain animal products, check out onestepmatters.com. It's a start.
I respect the food around the world but Pakistani food is the best hands down. Indian food is restrictive in the meats department while the five provinces of pakistan encorporate all kinds of taste palettes just as they incorporate all kinds of weathers and skin colours. There is so much packed into this little country and the food is truly the best.
That sounds great, shame there aren't any Pakistani restaurants in my country :-( Is there any recipe you could recommend that I could perhaps find online? Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to eat spicy food, but is there any delicious non-spicy Pakistani meal?
MartaVdz try rosh. The thing with non spicy food is it usually consists of meat and it's cooked in a special way. Sajji is meat hanged on sticks with a ring of fire around it made from coal. Landhi is dried salty meat. Although you can adjust spiciness I'm almost all the dishes like try searching recipes for kofte or even mutton pulao. I don't have recipes sadly but you can adjust the spiciness in almost everything from bhengan(eggplant) to bhindi to ghobi. I mean there are dishes I haven't tried yet and I live in Pakistan. If you love meat search for Baloch or Pathan recipes. If you love vegetables search Punjabi and sindhi recipes. If you love fish search for makran and lower Sindhi recipes.
Loved the series even if he does swear a bit too much for the sake of it. I live on the Italian/ French border so I see the arguments about what makes good pizze every day :)
I totally agree with the whole cultural appropriation thing, the whole point of it modern globalised world is that we can share stuff whether it be info, food, tech... If we all hogged stuff to ourselves we'd never learn it exp new things
There's the 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness that briefly made headlines. We're slowly, slowly coming to terms with the unmeasurable tragedy of factory farming. Hold onto your hats, because it's a painful and shocking realization and I don't blame people who resist, ridicule, or ignore it. The world is already full of stories of human suffering; it's no wonder we block out thoughts of animal suffering.
I've been to a lot of different countries, and I have never met anyone that didn't like fried chicken. I mean, I've met vegetarians that eat fried chicken. If there is one thing I wouldn't want to be, it's a chicken.
I don't get it. I mean, I pair fried chicken, watermelon, potato salad and corn bread cause it's excellent together. The coolness of the melon with the fatness of the chicken is the bomb. I have never thought about ethnicity of the dish when making it. It's just really yummy together.
I love chicken. I try to avoid fried chicken, though. Not healthy. Now, with so much processed chicken, kids are growing up eating chicken, never realizing it had bones, organs, or gristle. Weird. Makes me wonder, what will pass for food in twenty years? Will there be nugget dispensers? Chili fountains? Pizza bars?
Andrew Flowers actually you should eat more organs. They have to be cleaned more, but they're good for you and highly nutritious. Its this trash talk about how breast meat is the only thing worth eating thats the problem.
I am 69 years old. I have lost my taste or something because I will only eat when my stomach starts hurting. I just don't have a taste for the things I use to like and eat. Spagehetti, pizza, steak etc. I have no desire for food.
I think people from all cultures and races can and should cook cuisines from other cultures and races. It's a great learning experience, just be mindful and show your respect. You don't tell Thai people on how to eat their pho, and you don't tell Melayu people how to cook their rendang.
Food is very cultural, ... just my opinion, most foods for each culture is the same food prepared differently, called by different names, of course, ... lol if we put the real literal term for the meat we consume I'm sure we would have many vegans ... food is to be enjoyed, bewildering as some might be prepared... mmmm yummy everything!!! 😄
America has the lowest standards of quality in the world pertaining to our food ONE TIME the Olympics was held in Russia and they did not allow any American food to be brought over, that should tell you something.About the quality. America has the most overfed undernourished people in existence. You need to make high nutritional value foods that are organic non-GMO appealing then maybe Americans will start becoming healthy
That was part of the joke! Which isn't funny. Russia banned American food from being introduced to its country, that was the point Russia's standards are not that high. Which makes it really bad for America. The sanctions are not preventing progress for everything. Old poop Russian leader there, needs to zone off the area in improve the quality of standards for the people of Russia. Instead of playing p FTSE's and whispering into America's first phony president, ear hole FOR HE comes from A breed of cowards combined with a lifestyle that suggests confirms and validates him as being physically mentally submissive subservient. One is genetic hereditary the other is a learned behavior either way it is physically mentally spiritually useless Too live and die in that manner. Yes I understand that Russian citizens had it very bad for many years generations. It is situations like that is why I have learned ways to improve upon anyone circumstances anywhere in the world. First of all the best way to enclose or shield radiation is with graphite it is far more effective than lead, not to mention lead runs the risk of becoming poisoning. Graphite doesn't have those dangerous, potentials of a side effect plus it is far cheaper more abundant. Russian citizens need to convince their special forces Army personnel that they deserve to be able to live and die to the highest standards of quality that's when the war is complete with progress for the majority of the population . The other question citizens are not intelligent enough to ask, what is the best way to offset the side effects that come from radiation . And that is simple high sources of nutrition clean water air, combined with a decent workout regiment that Russian special forces MMA fighters are definitely familiar with. Stop being a coward and start looking for the best case scenarios within the worst-case situation.
I love this show, but how is it that no one thinks about the animals being killed? How is it that we find racism in food and then stop there and never think that we are following specism? and yes i get it that you are going to respond from a cave, with no wifi were you have been hunting and surviving with your tribe for eons and there fore fave never been to a modern grocery with alternative options.
To even compare killing animals to slavery is extremely inappropriate. While I support eating less meat and absolutely detest mass factory farming, I do not think that animals have a right not to be killed for food. It happens everywhere in the food chain.. human rights are called human for a reason
then if i should know the history of dishes ( not only in the US ) we will have a problem in China about a lot of there food and real history ;) .Lets talk about noodles, or rice or watermelon..:))
I am curious how he equates fried chicken with racism and oppression. Every country, and every culture, eats fried chicken. Unless he is trying to equate American fried chicken... sounds like he is really trying to reach to make a point. Just make more chicken ha ha 😀
Sorry but it is not just a stereotype that Chinese restaurants use cheap meat. Not in Ireland anyway. I would say its a pretty overwhelming majority of them. Not being racist just an observation. I eat a fuckload of take away.
Oh, please. I lived in Asia for many years and never fell in love with Chinese food, at least not what was available where I was. Chinese cuisine can vary depending on the region and there are some hidden gems, but what is seen in Chinese restaurants and "hawker" centers in Singapore in general is usually deep fried or boiled, most of the seasoning goes everywhere, so a dish will have no variations in flavor. And it is packed with MSG, which always made me feel sick. I loved Thai, Sri Lankan, Japanese and Indonesian cuisine on the other hand.
I love Chinese food, so happy that I am not allergic to the MSG! I never use it when cooking at home, but it is difficult to avoid in restaurants. I've never been to Singapore... I like places that are less famous...
hey! MSG stands for monosodium glutamate, which means it's made of one sodium (yes, that's the same as the sodium in regular table salt), and one glutamate (a component of DNA and already present in the human body). additionally, double blind trials showed NO evidence that people who said they were allergic to MSG were actually allergic to it. MSG is also present in plenty of western packaged foods, but no one says they feel sick after eating a bag of doritos. you might wanna look into "chinese restaurant syndrome".
Seriously what is a slavery to do with fried chicken? Every part of the world, a man who eat or feed his family with chicken at least once a day is sure ain't a broke fellow.
Are they seriously talking about food appropriation? This is not even funny and they are being serious about it. 🤦 Unsubscribed, I can't stand this unsubstantiated bullshit anymore.
Mariah Carry how were the sentences not coherent? Sounds like you’re very salty. You fit the description of an angry white person... You’re an idiot, because you called someone an illiterate on their comment, bet you don’t understand irony, after being rubbed the wrong way.
He acts too emotional all the time. His show is cool but he cries way too much about racism and being an outcast.. which clearly made him famous and has payed off
He's right about racism affecting food. A pasta dinner is $30, yet it costs less than $10 to make at home. It's the fancy appeal commonly linked with Italian food. Compare that to Chinese food which is categorized as a cheaper food, which is just as delicious and fulfilling. That's why I'll always make pasta but never ever eat pasta outside. You're paying for the perception of pasta, not for actual pasta.
And never get carbonara. You're just asking for an upset stomach because they put so much heavy cream in it. CARBONARA DOESNT HAVE CREAM JFC.
We used to joke that when you pay in those places, you are actually renting the seat instead of buying the food.
We're *pretty* sure the Chinese were the first to make noodles anyway.
+R C Nice try Russian pretend liberal trying to spread your fake racist hate everywhere.

My Indian friend got called "a curry" in Sydney, and she responded saying "thanks, curry is delicious. You should try it sometimes." 🤣🤣🤣
Boooooom!
My boyfriend is Korean and the way he talks about Korean food always has my mouth watering, especially after trying Korean bbq
I freaking love David Chang. We need season 2 of the show asap! :)
I remember David Chang when he was on The Mind of a Chef. I always thought he had a great tv personality. Great to see him back hosting another tv show.
This was surprisingly interesting. My food interest is limited, but an anthropology and history nerd I am.
There's fascinating interactions between migration of parts of a population and the modification of their traditional foods as a part of their integration process into the population of their new home, I started by collecting traditional and "traditional" cookbooks when I moved out of my (stiflingly traditional Dutch cuisine focused) parental home, but it is not hard to follow some of the changes, it's really cool to look into how the food changes with the people, especially also because not all of those stories are nearly as dramatic and depressing as the origin story of fried chicken.

That certanly cleared it up for me atleast. A good response.
Thank you. :-)
Dave Chang is awesome. The episode with him and Dave Choe in China is hysterically funny.
Harry Ortiz I AINT EATIN NO DONKEY MEAT, DUDE!!

Ugly delicious was such a good show, I’m a David Chang fan now for sure.
Love this guy! Ugly Delicious is a awesome show go watch it =)
Jason Faulmann same. It's more than just a good eats show. It's a whole conversation about food.

I just finished the book I REALLY ENJOYED IT TREVOR! your mom is a hell of a woman may god continue to give you and your family BLESSINGS UPON BLESSINGS😘 😊
This is such a great show. You think it’s about food, then you delve into social commentary, travel, buddy comedy, everything you could imagine.
This man has a very soothing voice. I could just put my head in his lap and fall asleep listening to him speak, stroking my hair
check out his podcast. it's call "the chang show" on iTunes
What the fuck lol
Best show about 'food and the world' ever. And it's so much fun! I even like the calligraphy being used in this show.
I was wondering what this show was about! Now I'm gonna watch it!
as a man that was once fat, i love food, i love any type of food. ive never cared if it looked nice as long as it is good to eat
drukenhobo you'll always be a fat fuck on the inside my brotha. Congratulations on your newfound health. #fatboyz4life
I totally agree with you. It's not the look that matters, what matters is TASTE. Can look as fancy as it possibly could, but that doesn't matter if it does not taste the part.
Food loves u too bro
I love David Chang
We watched the show on Italian pizza and then we made some ourselves. It was more difficult than we thought. And my girlfriend said: “ They didn’t even show how to make it!”
i didnt like the show... pretentious, snobbish...
+rajesh singh Probably because the topic is complicated for you to get :)
You picked the wrong show. should pick other show if you want it to show how to make something.
Korean food is the best. Korean food is not for bland taste buds.
Leopold stomach ache cancer? Kims?
JoJo General never had Korean food. I should try cooking some.
Rei The Leopold here isn't too wrong in his claim because we Koreans do have a higher than average rate of stomach cancer all thanks to our national obsession with spices but then again Leopolds themselves probably have clogged artery as their thing...One over the other. Same difference. ☺
JoJo General I was laughing cause they said stomach *ache* cancer. Sounds funny.
Leopold still funny though :P
Chinese food is amazing.
Pretty much any food from the continent of Asia is delicious- especially East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.
Multiculturalism is so good because people can share their cultural foods and when you go to the normal supermarket, it's more common to see international aisles and that's great.
I live in Northern Virginia and "cultured" food is definitely embraced wayyyy more now.
Well yeah, of course.
It's 2018 and David Chang is 40 years old.
shoutenry no shit. That’s why I said “now”. I pointed it out for people who would think otherwise. Because as you should know, there are still some places that don’t have huge cultural shifts. There are countries and cities 40 years ago that still embrace and make the same foods and will never be known for anything else.

I'm from Northern Virginia, and we have the best Korean food! We're so lucky to have a huge Ktown!!
try LA's korean food and you might reconsider :)
I have!
Joya Bhattacharyya where's that fish thou
Better than the Korean food in Korea ? 🤔😂
lol of course not haha
So THAT'S WHY there that's scene in M.A.S.H.... I'm European and I never understood the scene where Hawkeye and Trapper paint a racist white guy's face and arms brown while he's sleeping. Then they wake him up and offer him fried chicken and watermelon. It scares the ... out of him cause he thinks he's "turning black".

There are more than 200 kinds of kimchi in Korea :)
to me the point of making pictures of food to sell means your not doing your best to explain your dishes well. i think Korean food can be very pretty , but whats pretty and whats ugly and to who?.
I feel like that point he made at the end about cultural appropriation was glossed over way too much, but is so relevant right now. If any time someone becomes interested in something from another culture they are screamed at and told that it's not for them, then we make no progress and just erect bigger and bigger barriers between us.
I loved the buzzfeed worth it episode of bbq that featured him.😉
Ultimate viral Videos Yup! The BBQ episode was my favorite!!
Wow, just googled "History of Fried Chicken". I was not disappointed. I'm definitely watching this show.
He is a legend.....
so true..
Interesting episode. Lol, I love food and history!
Korean food is delicious!!

Korea has food ambassadors to popularize its cuisine and help relations and introduce culture
so does Italian food and many many other food counrtries ;)
"America is about cultural appropriation if it's done very well." He's absolutely right. Outside of the societal and cultural issues, america was the country of progress and advancement. Ellis island was made famous for recruiting dreamers into building a beautiful country.
Food is universal. It doesn't matter what race you are, as long as you cooked it well.
True
1:17 "Food is more popular than ever before", pretty accurate for the US at least based on obesity rates here.
Bravo
We need THUMBS UP season 4!!!!
Why you guys didn't say anything about Trump's cancellation meeting with North Korea? When are you guys will say something about what's going on in Brazil?By the way, I love you all! Has been a year that I won't miss a show! Well done Trevor and crew. Much love x
Couldn't agree anymore! I remember hated bringing my delicious lunch to school. I'd always rather bring a stale turkey sandwich in a zipper bag than one of my rich family stir fries in my pork sung container.
How many times do they say fried in this video?
Absolutely!
Say it louder for the people in the back!!!! Loved this conversation (:
Check the channel, "Cheap Lazy Vegan". Rose doesn't have all the answers, but she's still pretty cool.:)
Jason Bean love her and her recipes, ppl should really check it out (and go vegan!)
I thought it was interesting that they discussed how eating chicken is problematic from a historical perspective, linking it to slavery and racism/classism in America... They could have tied it into the ethics of factory farming and chicken processing plants in the South. If anyone has a burgeoning interest in cutting back on or giving up certain animal products, check out onestepmatters.com. It's a start.
Korean food is sooooooo soooooo bomb omg duuuuuude ahhhhhhhhhhh
I ate kimchi and fried chicken once. It was soooooo good.
I love Kimchi.
I'm gonna watch this! I can relate! Racism when it comes to food! Love it! There are some cheap cuts of meat that taste good. All about nutrition.
I respect the food around the world but Pakistani food is the best hands down. Indian food is restrictive in the meats department while the five provinces of pakistan encorporate all kinds of taste palettes just as they incorporate all kinds of weathers and skin colours. There is so much packed into this little country and the food is truly the best.
Except bacon.
That sounds great, shame there aren't any Pakistani restaurants in my country :-( Is there any recipe you could recommend that I could perhaps find online? Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to eat spicy food, but is there any delicious non-spicy Pakistani meal?
MartaVdz try rosh. The thing with non spicy food is it usually consists of meat and it's cooked in a special way. Sajji is meat hanged on sticks with a ring of fire around it made from coal. Landhi is dried salty meat. Although you can adjust spiciness I'm almost all the dishes like try searching recipes for kofte or even mutton pulao. I don't have recipes sadly but you can adjust the spiciness in almost everything from bhengan(eggplant) to bhindi to ghobi. I mean there are dishes I haven't tried yet and I live in Pakistan. If you love meat search for Baloch or Pathan recipes. If you love vegetables search Punjabi and sindhi recipes. If you love fish search for makran and lower Sindhi recipes.
laalaa99stl screw bacon hahahaha 😂
Eagle 367 Thanks for this. I love exploring new food:-)
best part of this was how he used to think nobody but koreans should ever make kimchi...and then david simon told him to GTFO xD
I just love food
Loved the series even if he does swear a bit too much for the sake of it. I live on the Italian/ French border so I see the arguments about what makes good pizze every day :)
I wish i were able to taste his food. Think it would be....... Drooling..
How many times was there a mention of "fried chicken"
I love and make Kimchi!! :)
That was a very interesting perspective - America is appropriation, and can be good when done very well.
Nothing makes me say "America! Fuck Yeah!" without irony, like American food, exemplified by guys like this.
Ever heard anyone say, 'I'm going out for Jewish'. lol
Old Wisdom but they do say “I’m going out for Israeli food” or at least they do where I live.
I totally agree with the whole cultural appropriation thing, the whole point of it modern globalised world is that we can share stuff whether it be info, food, tech... If we all hogged stuff to ourselves we'd never learn it exp new things
Trevor Noah being real quiet on Tommy Robinson's arrest. #freetommy
Curry is perfect for any picture!!!
It's good that at least we are talking about racism but do you know what we should also be talking about and aren't? Speciesism. Look it up.
There's the 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness that briefly made headlines. We're slowly, slowly coming to terms with the unmeasurable tragedy of factory farming. Hold onto your hats, because it's a painful and shocking realization and I don't blame people who resist, ridicule, or ignore it. The world is already full of stories of human suffering; it's no wonder we block out thoughts of animal suffering.
You should actually applaud him for that, the fact that even if something is socially accepted It doesn't mean its right or should stay the way it is.
I've been to a lot of different countries, and I have never met anyone that didn't like fried chicken. I mean, I've met vegetarians that eat fried chicken. If there is one thing I wouldn't want to be, it's a chicken.
I don't get it. I mean, I pair fried chicken, watermelon, potato salad and corn bread cause it's excellent together. The coolness of the melon with the fatness of the chicken is the bomb. I have never thought about ethnicity of the dish when making it. It's just really yummy together.
Pamela B i think for something greasy like fried chicken, you need something hot and light, like green tea, to cut through the fats and oils.
Princess Jello Yes! I serve iced half green tea with half orange pekoe, with little to no sugar. Plenty of sugar in the melon...
Try chicken and waffles sometime. Lots of people love it.
Now I want Piri Piri chicken
Never use the word shit, when describing hunger. Would you eat shit, just to satisfy your hunger?
more popular than ever before? of cursed it fucking is we are more people on earth than ever before
Food is amazing.eriod
Do more impressions :))
hey Trevor why do you have cups that you never use in your show? Lol.....
I love chicken. I try to avoid fried chicken, though. Not healthy. Now, with so much processed chicken, kids are growing up eating chicken, never realizing it had bones, organs, or gristle. Weird. Makes me wonder, what will pass for food in twenty years? Will there be nugget dispensers? Chili fountains? Pizza bars?
Andrew Flowers actually you should eat more organs. They have to be cleaned more, but they're good for you and highly nutritious. Its this trash talk about how breast meat is the only thing worth eating thats the problem.
I am 69 years old. I have lost my taste or something because I will only eat when my stomach starts hurting. I just don't have a taste for the things I use to like and eat. Spagehetti, pizza, steak etc. I have no desire for food.
Wow this guy is so cool
I think people from all cultures and races can and should cook cuisines from other cultures and races. It's a great learning experience, just be mindful and show your respect. You don't tell Thai people on how to eat their pho, and you don't tell Melayu people how to cook their rendang.
Love this guy man. #AZN
Food is very cultural, ... just my opinion, most foods for each culture is the same food prepared differently, called by different names, of course, ... lol if we put the real literal term for the meat we consume I'm sure we would have many vegans
... food is to be enjoyed, bewildering as some might be prepared... mmmm yummy everything!!! 😄
haha....trevor.....infact i perform magic in africa (kenya)
Can jon come back or at least have some type of show
MSG gives me heartburn though.
That'd be acid reflux. You might be eating too fast and eating too much salt, not msg.
Or it could be an allergy...diagnosing people on RUclips comments is fairly imprecise.
Princess Jello nah even just a tiny bit of it will. I've got a pretty delicate stomach.
America has the lowest standards of quality in the world pertaining to our food ONE TIME the Olympics was held in Russia and they did not allow any American food to be brought over, that should tell you something.About the quality. America has the most overfed undernourished people in existence. You need to make high nutritional value foods that are organic non-GMO appealing then maybe Americans will start becoming healthy
james fiaco yes, I agree!
That was part of the joke! Which isn't funny. Russia banned American food from being introduced to its country, that was the point Russia's standards are not that high. Which makes it really bad for America. The sanctions are not preventing progress for everything. Old poop Russian leader there, needs to zone off the area in improve the quality of standards for the people of Russia. Instead of playing p FTSE's and whispering into America's first phony president, ear hole FOR HE comes from A breed of cowards combined with a lifestyle that suggests confirms and validates him as being physically mentally submissive subservient. One is genetic hereditary the other is a learned behavior either way it is physically mentally spiritually useless Too live and die in that manner. Yes I understand that Russian citizens had it very bad for many years generations. It is situations like that is why I have learned ways to improve upon anyone circumstances anywhere in the world. First of all the best way to enclose or shield radiation is with graphite it is far more effective than lead, not to mention lead runs the risk of becoming poisoning. Graphite doesn't have those dangerous, potentials of a side effect plus it is far cheaper more abundant. Russian citizens need to convince their special forces Army personnel that they deserve to be able to live and die to the highest standards of quality that's when the war is complete with progress for the majority of the population . The other question citizens are not intelligent enough to ask, what is the best way to offset the side effects that come from radiation . And that is simple high sources of nutrition clean water air, combined with a decent workout regiment that Russian special forces MMA fighters are definitely familiar with. Stop being a coward and start looking for the best case scenarios within the worst-case situation.
Even food can be racist! Lets me breath as a yellow man.
I love this show, but how is it that no one thinks about the animals being killed? How is it that we find racism in food and then stop there and never think that we are following specism? and yes i get it that you are going to respond from a cave, with no wifi were you have been hunting and surviving with your tribe for eons and there fore fave never been to a modern grocery with alternative options.
To even compare killing animals to slavery is extremely inappropriate. While I support eating less meat and absolutely detest mass factory farming, I do not think that animals have a right not to be killed for food. It happens everywhere in the food chain.. human rights are called human for a reason
everyone knows the story of fried chicken man...
then if i should know the history of dishes ( not only in the US ) we will have a problem in China about a lot of there food and real history ;) .Lets talk about noodles, or rice or watermelon..:))
I am curious how he equates fried chicken with racism and oppression. Every country, and every culture, eats fried chicken. Unless he is trying to equate American fried chicken... sounds like he is really trying to reach to make a point. Just make more chicken ha ha 😀
Tedious link..
sherristar89 Perhaps for tedious people like urself..
JoJo General why does my comment offend you so much??
sherristar89 Loosen up. Just a light banter.
Sadly, they are simply going to appropriate it and call it their 'own'
Sorry but it is not just a stereotype that Chinese restaurants use cheap meat. Not in Ireland anyway. I would say its a pretty overwhelming majority of them. Not being racist just an observation. I eat a fuckload of take away.
David Chan es arrogante
Oh, please. I lived in Asia for many years and never fell in love with Chinese food, at least not what was available where I was. Chinese cuisine can vary depending on the region and there are some hidden gems, but what is seen in Chinese restaurants and "hawker" centers in Singapore in general is usually deep fried or boiled, most of the seasoning goes everywhere, so a dish will have no variations in flavor. And it is packed with MSG, which always made me feel sick. I loved Thai, Sri Lankan, Japanese and Indonesian cuisine on the other hand.
I love Chinese food, so happy that I am not allergic to the MSG! I never use it when cooking at home, but it is difficult to avoid in restaurants. I've never been to Singapore... I like places that are less famous...
hey! MSG stands for monosodium glutamate, which means it's made of one sodium (yes, that's the same as the sodium in regular table salt), and one glutamate (a component of DNA and already present in the human body). additionally, double blind trials showed NO evidence that people who said they were allergic to MSG were actually allergic to it. MSG is also present in plenty of western packaged foods, but no one says they feel sick after eating a bag of doritos. you might wanna look into "chinese restaurant syndrome".
Japanese man came up with MSG soooo.... you liked Japanese food, ya?
I like Amercanized Chinese food. Real Chinese food is not very good, to me. Korean, Indian, Thai... lots of Asian food better than Chinese. 😀
American kimchi is not a real kimchi. Real kimchi would not be easily enjoyed by usual Americans.
Seriously what is a slavery to do with fried chicken? Every part of the world, a man who eat or feed his family with chicken at least once a day is sure ain't a broke fellow.
Toral Toral well that's a new insight
Fried chicken is eaten the world over. Every culture has their "poor people" food. A nice fried chicken breast or thigh ain't one of them.
Well they definitely had an agenda here...
Are they seriously talking about food appropriation? This is not even funny and they are being serious about it. 🤦 Unsubscribed, I can't stand this unsubstantiated bullshit anymore.
I need to gain some weight
I came to read comments by angry white people
Ultradian That might prove difficult given you are illiterate.
Mariah Carry right... you’re an idiot.
Ultradian - So, you can't write a coherent sentence, but... I'm the idiot here. LOL, thanks for trying!
Mariah Carry how were the sentences not coherent? Sounds like you’re very salty. You fit the description of an angry white person... You’re an idiot, because you called someone an illiterate on their comment, bet you don’t understand irony, after being rubbed the wrong way.
Ultradian "I came to ready comments"
Lol.
He acts too emotional all the time. His show is cool but he cries way too much about racism and being an outcast.. which clearly made him famous and has payed off
One time someone made a joke about my lunch. I am oppressed.
