A Crash Course on Rabbit and Polenta with Elena Faita

[@valf156115]

It's cool that Munchies gives love to Montreal, our food scene is amazing and soulful!

[@proffesorDub]

people like elena reinforce why i love cooking. Its, for me at least, more about the history or the story of the food and the socialising that comes from it. Food is what connect us to previous memories and generations and it brings us together. Obviously we should always push the boundaries of what food can do and constantly reimagine it, but we can never forget why food is so important to us

[@jurassicsushi]

I Fucking LOVE this Channel / Series & Team that put Munchies together. I just wanna Group hug the Fuck out of you all. Keep up the great work. Note: I would love to spend a week with Elena and just cook and learn and shoot the shit with her. Her personality and passion is amazing.

[@AllenBoguslavsky]

+jurassicsushi word

[@shadyzbabii420]

exactly

[@bikramdas01]

Very aptly put 😜

[@kf_isher1149]

They made "Fuck that's delicious" pay to watch, even if I could pay I can't. Simply becaUSE I DON'T LIVE IN AMERICA LET ME WATCH ACTION BRONSON FOR FUCKS SAKES MUNCHIES WTF.

[@jurassicsushi]

KF_isher let me look around for you and see if i can find the VICE episodes online so you can watch. Bad thing is, that vice fucking censors all the cursing which is part of personality of everyone that is featured. it kinda takes away from it.

[@chipskylark172]

I had a friend that has family that was full Italian and he had a grandma just like this. loud and everything and I loved her to death.She cooked for the Fourth of July and it was the best food ever...and there was no "meals" we just ate different foods all day long. I know no one cares but man this video brought back memories to her

[@ilikemusic4086]

What is a full Italian????

[@SCRPYTHELORD]

what a lovely woman

[@renesgarcia]

Loved her! I would only hope someone would actually get your recipes into a book. Could be so much more than a cook book, but a book that happens to have recipes sharing her personal story and that of her community. Awesome episode. Danny, your always so open with your energy that it truly makes your subject shine to a level that makes us love them from the get go. Thanks!

[@shenazsyeda1450]

This is such an underrated video. Such a heartwarming way to share old Italian recipe.

[@AndreaBozziVlog]

Brava Linda! Rabbit is a typical dish in Verona my home town eaten with polenta as well "Polenta e cunel" my nonna made a rabbit goulash or spezzatino all the time as a kid I love it

[@AllenBoguslavsky]

more elena in the future please! danny was also fun!

[@beanacomputer]

+Allen B For real, one of the best videos from Munchies, give her a show! Let's get old school

[@AllenBoguslavsky]

Rabbit looked good as fuck too lol

[@Senrab3123]

If this woman made a cookbook I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@GabrielIonescuisro]

That is the way we do the polenta in Romania, amazing the resamblance of our countries...

[@chaoticbunbun]

I randomly came across this and I got no regrets I really like this channel.!

[@movingandshaking3849]

Wow! This reminds me of cooking with my grandmother. Thanks for sharing.

[@aliockisity]

This Danny guy is an incredible host. Very engaging and enthusiastic

[@ThatGuy-hc2ei]

I love black pepper, I will always use black pepper.

[@wealllame]

black pepper is the best

[@Funghyfresh]

+That Guy agree but don't put black pepper in tomato sauce as faita says, is nonsense, in tomato sauce you can add red chili peppers garlic and olive oil tha's it…that's the OG italian.

[@ThatGuy-hc2ei]

***** Swedish Democrat ;)

[@damohr69]

look, we have a bad ass over here

[@moongawddess8161]

White pepper too! Period !!!!

[@Puxiification]

Sooo underapreciated. I love the Receipt and i love that Lady. Keep up the good Work

[@CarlosFernandesS]

my grandma always made fried polenta for me, love it

[@waccypeet]

MMMMHHHMMHMMHH ! beauty in pureness ! the real italian cooking !!

[@victormcontreras100]

More cooking episodes this women , she is very entertaining to watch , lover her already . Danny was also pretty good

[@kahtrass]

she is such an amazing woman.

[@eriklascano7042]

You also have garlic in some tomatoe sauce to substitute the heat from black pepper but I completely disagree with the black pepper the lady was saying it should be at minimum a pinch just to balance the natural sweetness of the tomatoes as well to give you the after kick of a lil heat after you feel the sweetness of the tomatoe sauce when it first touches your palate but I do agree not everything needs too much black pepper

[@Fermonos1]

He looks like Raymond off everyone loves raymond

[@Burley_Bert]

+Fermonos1 Italian? lol

[@MrReeseisawesome]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[@Fermonos1]

+Chemdog Ninetyone I;m not Italian, no.

[@Burley_Bert]

Fermonos1 No, sorry. Blondie. You said he looked like Ray from everyone lose Raymond. All skinny Italian people look like Ray lol....

[@SDGFDSZXC]

ate this on top of a mountain near porlezza, italia. great wild rabbit with porlenta, that was a special experience!!

[@richardmang2558]

at 7:05 , into the oven for hour to hour and a half at 275 F, uncovered . OK then, nice low temperature. Then... the cooked rabbit transferred to a clean pan and covered with aluminum "paper" and back into the oven at 200 F . Just to keep warm ? While you deglaze the first roasting pan.

[@pannotan]

She is so unbelievable!!

[@partykrew666]

oh man, that looks awesome

[@Heritagepostfarms]

Rabbit is delicious!

[@LiamDonafee]

+Farmer Nate One of the better "exotic meats"

[@Heritagepostfarms]

Liam's LunchBox Other than turkey, it is my favorite meat

[@LiamDonafee]

Farmer Nate pork is my fav

[@lopu11]

That intro though :D hahaha GOTTA LOVE MY HOMETOWN :D

[@TheRocknrolla12]

She is an amazing cook

[@Jokyl989]

there better be another episode with elena in this series

[@OmniCausticInfidel]

i love the fake-angry that both quebecois and italians love to do. its perfecrt

[@gearbarrel6237]

"We want it all in America"? Is this dude from Canada or the US. Love this guys attitude--always learning and exploring. Good episode!

[@sebcreative]

he's from Montreal, but I think he meant America as North America the continent :P

[@maverickx1221]

This guy looks insanely silly with his hat and pants like that.

[@Lovs2sell765]

How long at 200 degrees? Assuming Canada uses Fahrenheit?

[@jamietate3526]

Only America does that

[@exmcgee1647]

@ 7:00 she says "1- 1/2 hours at 375F " which is close to 200C...

[@exmcgee1647]

what I do suggest is after 1 hour, check the meat with a thermometer , when it's 150- 160 inside , pull it . just like chicken it will dry out fast , BUT unlike chicken it's a cleaner animal and salmonella is not an issue .

[@exmcgee1647]

and 200F to make the sauce

[@omarpo7707]

Montreal Italians Love u guys!

[@stefanoguzzobonifacio3534]

here in piemonte(italy) polenta is cooked in a giant copper pan and stirred with a wooden spoon. grandmas wouldn't sleep at night if they made it elseway :)

[@GTpilotRacer]

"that took the wrong boat" hahaha

[@KingDennisJensen]

Italians hate black pepper and smoked meat haha. I'm Hungarian and whenever I go over to my Italian friends house, his dad always tries to convert me!

[@jojojo256000]

dude looks like a younger sober french montana

[@MsTokies]

does the rabbit have to be a certain way? we have meat rabbits they are lean less fat taste good though because we give em mostly pasture. is this rabbit for like FEED raised rabbits with a bit more fat?

[@joshuatodd151]

+MsTokies Elana removed some of the fat from the rabbit and added butter and panchetta, both for fat. it might be a matter of adding more butter but 100g isn't a lot for a whole rabbit. while it roasts you might be able to visually determine if more fat is required. if you look at 11:30 it looks as though there isn't much fat in the pan other than the butter and panchetta.

[@pombamz1]

why is this getting disliked?

[@zeeht]

whats wrong with black pepper with tomato sauce? or with basil?

[@ChewBacca2339]

amazing

[@cuncapt]

Dat gesture at the end, tho

[@zxzxJoKeRThEiFzxzx]

Maybe his ears wouldn't be cold if he wore his hat properly

[@MonkeyspankO]

+Scott H Montreal winter is no joke.

[@ilikemusic4086]

Don't forget the gloves!!!!

[@67claudius]

Polenta e cünì, sembra buono.

[@baconandhex]

I would buy her cook book if she wrote one...

[@blazebui2491]

This grandma talks better English than Nate Diaz lol

[@BolFelix]

Hey that's in my province!

[@arturolopez6070]

van homan at 1:40

[@bonkersblock]

That's true! All culinary hipsters out there thinks just because they went to culinary school and got a diploma,thinks they are now in par with Paul Bocouse! And Paul Bocouse didn't even attended culinary school, he work as a cook!

[@Progwale]

Please cook with more elder people. So far, all of those you´ve been filming with were SO AMAZING and entertaining persons. Really nice :) * * * * * 5 Stars from me :D

[@frankconti7529]

hopefully i don't get flames with it.

[@movedtomunbani6218]

Why does the font looks like it's from America Horror Story?

[@sunilg8837]

She is cool 😎

[@MAMAofYOURS]

But, did He hit it?

[@SirianSoul]

I wonder if my pet bunny tastes any good

[@egold9081]

+Johnny Ace only one way to find out...

[@madethat]

+Johnny Ace DO IT!

[@nephildevil]

Tomato sauce without pepper has no heat, and no kick to it. Might as well drink a beer without alcohol to go with it lol Screw that.

[@Gregory-ck4wv]

+Endrikh Darkvine CXVI There's this thing called a red pepper, you know...

[@TanNguyen510]

You use black pepper for heat??? Hmmmm

[@antoinecompagnoni5715]

did you need to 4-letter word in your clip?

[@Worldwideguy96]

Bitch I'll put black pepper in my tomato sauce if I want.

[@georgechristopoulos732]

Elena stay away from my pet rabbit bunbun

[@khuong1994]

Andreas was high as fuck

[@hakan4626]

goodjon broooo

[@ryanporter2492]

Awesome vid, love seeing the tradition but hey i do love my "black pepper!"

[@ilikemusic4086]

Not in a classic Italian tomato sauce dude.

[@vwrFEW]

I want his fucking jacket, it's sick.

[@en4ce_]

i doubt there is any original recipe from italy where they put cream... this all seems very american italian cooking (not to say its bad)

[@SmokinRooster]

+en4ce I agree - they should do more episodes from european restaurants - Like they do in fuck thats delicious, just way way better places.. bib gourmand og michelin restaurants.

[@specialtacticvapers5250]

Northern Italian food has cream. The more south you go they don't. Just like thin pizza crust in the north then the crusts get thicker the more south you go. Every country has variances in their recipes depending on regions.

[@en4ce_]

well about the pizza, not sure about the main land but i was on sardinia for a couple of days 2 months ago and the pizza was extremly thin and very very tasty...

[@67claudius]

I'm Lombard and this rabbit with polenta looks great.

[@chevypuppy]

I didnt get it ......, so we use pepper in ketchup °_>°

[@Knoar]

I have a suspicion that she was a POW and was forced to snort black pepper... or something worse than that. Like Dave Chappelle's skit about carrots.

[@AlexVBucur]

Wow i finally see a mamaliga( polenta ) done right :).

[@friday_bug]

this is interesting! in Piedmont, northwest italy, corn is called "meliga" ("melia" in piedmontese language) while in italian is called "mais" or "granturco". It seems that "mamaliga" has the same origin

[@AlexVBucur]

@@friday_bug That's very interesting, I did not know that. Thank you for sharing !

[@dweeds]

homecooked food..nth beats it

[@zevminsky-primus9367]

What do y'all have against polenta fries? 😢

[@bryliang]

isn't cacio e pepe authentic Italian (at least in the Rome region)? why is she so against using black pepper lol

[@MelanieOh]

it doesn't belong in traditional Italian tomato sauces. given that the sauce in cacio e pepe is a cream sauce, it's a different case entirely.

[@MrMazvaz]

Man if only there were like some kind of headwear that could keep your ears warm? Like a kind of hood detached from your jacked, and much tighter. That would be sweet. Why the fuck hasn't anyone come up with this yet?

[@lucidinterval8012]

That lady know what's she's doing. People love her dish. Use the pepper to make it your own if you so decide. Next time I would like to see the animal being killed first. It's just something about the process.

[@K1rkles]

If this dude's ears are so cold, why doesn't he tuck them under his beanie?

[@ilikemusic4086]

Because he is a douch.

[@tre6921]

Have you seen uh chef?

I don't think she likes pepper...

[@dharmakanki]

Love how he keeps trying to pull off an Italian accent and fail miserably.

[@grisbain]

dharmakanki I think his accent is actually French Canadian.

[@Funghyfresh]

butter on rabbit with pancetta? oh come on grandma! extra virgin olive oil its better, to much animal fat in it.

[@kingawags]

Not sure what shocks me more.. no pepper, or not even roasting for sauce, but tearing out and discarding fat.. from one of the leanest proteins known.. What Italian throws away flavor potential like that away!? Pancetta and butter went in, so it's not like it's weight watching either.. Tsk tsk..

[@di3inglife]

sexiest lady alive

[@jackn9819]

Come on "in America?", "Italian - American?"... he's in Montreal CANADA... Italian - Canadian COME ON MUNCHIES you take tax credits and grants to make these videos

[@Ptitnain2]

Canada is in America, like United States and Mexico.

[@Nils__wuee]

[@mrgeringer]

I think its very offensive and racist of Elena to speak so negatively about *black* pepper.

[@ilikemusic4086]

Yea!!!! White pepper rules!!!

[@tuffrebel]

use pepper this lady is on heroin

[@ANewEvilRising]

why must we eat every living creature? I'm not vegetarian but I have my standards.

[@Don7star]

Lol nobody cares

[@Kihidokid]

every animal is edible except cute furry fuckers right? eat with your mouth not your eyes

[@Kihidokid]

look uo the history of ewting rabbit and hunting, eating fat juicy rat, raising goats and lambs for meat and milk

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

we dont eat every living creature. just the ones that taste good..fucking hippy. go whine somewhere else ..maybe a PETA meeting or someshit..
