Asians Vs. Caucasians: Our Favorite Korean & Japanese Foods | ReactCast

[@jaimemarston6200]

I need a hug from Benison right now ☹️ he’s such an amazing guy! The world needs more people like him.

[@sammylane21]

Benison does look like he has nothing but positive vibes and is easy going type guy so I bet he does have a healing touch to his hugs.

[@racheltuskin2006]

i agree with this. And I think Brian would be the same

[@caloyyy6168]

PETITION TO HAVE PLACHY IN A TRY NOT TO EAT EPISODE📣

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Done!

[@jaycrew2953]

lol that was easy

[@northernsnow6982]

He was invited to be on it a few podcasts ago.

[@michelleromeo92]

kimchi kimbap is good

[@LilHoneyTea]

I wonder which Try not to eat he is in 👀 since the cast said Done 👀

[@sarahtyoung]

benison seems like just the sweetest human

[@leanna2586]

Agree!💯

[@PaigeWashington-q2k]

I have always loved Benison's personality. He seems such a sweet heart. A podcast may be his niche. Good job my guy!

[@jaycrew2953]

Nicole your grandfather sounds like an incredible human being

[@sydniecota5286]

I have always thought this, but Benison looks like he is such a safe space. I love any video he is in he meshes with any reactor he is with, I love him so much.

[@milliondollarextreme99]

yes!!!!

[@envyvicious]

This was so educational. I really enjoyed it.

[@SuperGimpoManALTERNATE]

This episode was SO MUCH FUN to watch!! Had an amazing time checking all of this out. :)

[@kimmiesylvester7141]

Benison is one of my favorite React personality on the channel.

[@timisme8360]

It seems that there's an overwhelming opinion that we could all use a Benison hug. I agree! There isn't a person on the planet who wouldn't benefit from a Benison hug! The same goes for both Izzys, Jayse, Jaime and Martine. They all seem like such good spirited, kind people but especially Beni. Dude is just amazing! And sometimes, the right hug can just make the world a little brighter.

[@jerrytetemaro2098]

This is awesome, lot of history and personal memories

[@ganjananja420]

fun fact missed: kimbap is a variation of sushi that catered to the monks as there was a huge buddhist movement in korea. the options used were veggie friendly as monks are vegans. side dishes called banchan came to creation from buddhist influence as well

[@Lokahi-fo-life]

I can totally see Benison being a big hugger, he’s such a kind and fun person. Korean culture isn’t big on hugging either. Being from Hawai’i we are big huggers. When you show up and leave a gathering you better hug everyone, especially the elders. I think it’s a great aspect of the culture. Keep on hugging Benny!!!

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

I haven't missed an episode because I love it

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Same here!

[@sarafaubion113]

I bet Bennison gives great hugs!

[@michaelevans1193]

Bennison needs to come back and just swap stories. He has such a positive personality but too much time in this episode was focused on the food to let his glory shine.

[@marymaranan3641]

Need more of these!!! Maybe add different Asian casts members on as guests. Would love to see Vietnamese, Filipino, Malaysian, Taiwanese, etc foods!

[@eric----]

Great video. I always love mukbang talk shows. I'm surprised Nicole didn't bring soju. LOL

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Next time!

[@CinemaJunkyBen]

I just want to say I love that u post these at about 6 am pacific, cause I live in the Midwest so it is perfect for the drive to work and the first bit of my shift ❤❤

[@rahjahknows]

I'm so happy that Kevin is so happy this episode

[@jacers14]

Love this episode ❤ Next would be Southeast Asians. Thai, Filipino and Viet foods.

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Being a Montana boy myself, there's been a few times (not all the time) I've had huckleberry lemonade, and it's really good!

[@WordAte]

I know everyone from react channels. But I prefer this format. It is so f*cking sincere. I love it. Keep putting these out.

[@Bodyriot]

I never, and I mean EVER, listen too podcasts. But this I loved

[@angelabaillie1973]

Loved this episode!! Plachy for Try Not To Eat and more of food stuff xx

[@milliondollarextreme99]

love this episode

[@GFM1980]

Love the podcast...Please keep going

[@kkech7150]

i mean, unless someone there comes from a middle eastern background.... The Caucasus is a linguistically, culturally and geographically diverse region. The nation states that compose the Caucasus today are the post-Soviet states Georgia (including Adjara and Abkhazia), Azerbaijan (including Nakhchivan), Armenia, and the Russian Federation. With that said, i love these shows.

[@kamenwaticlients]

Exactly. This right here. I have "fun" explaining this to folks when the convo comes up. Most of the people we call Caucasian are in fact not. Its interesting the reason why, for lack of a better term, "white people" are called Caucasian is because the person who coined it had a fetish for Caucasian women and people. He considered them the most beautiful and stuff and highest of the high so therefore "white people" aka Western Europeans and the like had to descend from them because it jived with the brand of elitism and racism at the time. Funny enough true Caucasians weren't really considered "white" till way more recent then folks realize. When the numbers needed to be boosted for the census all of a sudden Mediterranean, true Caucasian, Slavs, and Middle Eastern people got considered "white". The guy who came up that use Caucasian is Christoph Meiners. There was also another guy named Johann Friedrich Blumenbach.

[@nikkitraver7092]

As a middle eastern woman… thank you lol

[@carlclark4151]

Shogun was an amazing show. I lived in Asiia for many years and I really miss real Asian food. Great podcast guys. 💯

[@APhizzle]

Benison feeding them was super sweet 🥹

[@brendalee7484]

My favorite podcast so far...I want to eat everything that was on the show except the natto. :D

[@Ashattack2221]

I love this concept so much and I love that Nicole has a sushi looking necklace it's just so cute

[@CurleyMouse]

Would love to see more Korean and Japanese foods!! Like the corn dogs, the Tteokbokki, braised kimchi, Korean bbq, soju!!!!!!

[@Proudtman]

Red Bean Mochi is the best snack food I've ever had! There's no comparison for me

[@iridescentdragons114]

you guys should try Hmong food. There is a big Hmong population in California, and it would be cool to here you tell people about Hmong culture and how Hmong people ended up in the states. both here and People vs Food. Papaya salad, stuffed chicken wings, Kapoon, Larb, Nava. There are SO many great foods.

[@PrisonbreakSPNheroes]

A dessert I've tried (and made) was the Japanese Christmas Cake. We had missionaries serving over there visit our church and I made a gluten free version. It was delicious and I even learned the Japanese name. They told me it was very close to tasting like the traditional version.

[@RMCloco69]

At 13:00 Nicole should have finished the quote from Finding Nemo “Fish are friends, not food”. 😂

[@jnbg61584]

I appreciate that the chewing noises weren't as bad as i was anticipating

[@feewix]

a hug from benny would cure my mental illness

[@SnowAngel14]

I need a hug from Benison now!!! Having a horrible work week!! I need a cure!

[@Neekab]

Great cast choice! First podcast I have watched whole way through

[@nikomouse6583]

I love this episode..I love they bring up Hawaii because yes we grew up on alot of these foods 💜💜💜💜

[@SiKedek]

Favorite dishes from SE Asia: Philippines: Pancit Palabok, Kare-kare Indonesia: Lawar, Bubur/Bubuh Bali Thailand: Pad Kaprao, Boat Noodles Burma (I do not refer to the country by its junta name): Laphet Thoke, Mohinga

[@SiKedek]

Laos: Som Tam, Jaew sauce with sticky rice

[@MizzCarmen]

I would pay for the hug sounds amazing

[@chrissylozada6358]

I’d love a hug from Benison 😊☺️

[@macfeitality]

Nicole is amazeballs! Her blings are always on point, sushi roll for a pendant

[@cheriwasano7833]

The brown sauce (Bulldog sauce) is tonkatsu sauce. It is sweet and savory with a worcestershire sauce flavor. In Hawaii, we use this sauce commonly mixed with ketchup or other enhancements as a dipping sauce for chicken katsu. @reactcastofficial Placky, the Hawaiian food you mentioned maybe chicken katsu (not loco moco).

[@palexanderrice]

I’m half polish and I would really love for you all try the cannibal sandwhich. A very specific and safe Raw beef on marble rye bread and sliced vadalia/sweet onions.

[@Cavpal]

@@marydavis5234 Did you say something, miss Nobody? I guess it was the wind.

[@wilnonajaye6553]

This with Filipino food with all the reactors that are half/Filipinos ❤❤

[@battiekoda]

Man!!! I need a friend like Benny!

[@RuthyJM]

Love learning about these cultures and foods. Beni is ADORABLE😍

[@gavinwelch1340]

Great episode! Love you all! Thanks for the giggles!

[@jeannettekaticich224]

Joe was spot on. I'm cajun and the history with our food is wonderful.

[@pheeao4898]

My comment is a 2 parter. 1. I love these episodes because you actually see the reactors be more themselves than be in that React mode. Benni has always been a favorite of mine because he is so confident and in touch with he's more softer side but this ep just showed me again how genuinely wholesome he is! 2. 100% Korean and Japanese movies are next level amazing! I grew up with anime but always watched the dubbed versions. Enjoyed it, it was fun, great. About a year ago I was reading up on monster movies as I have a massive love for cryptids and supernatural. This leads me to find Shin Godzilla. I watched it in Japanese with subtitles and HOOOOOOLY SHIT! It took me to another place! I now have an insane love for Korean & Japanese subbed movies! And sub is so important because it loses so much emotion and punch when it's dubbed! Godzilla Minus One is a great example of this. Some people who watched it dubbed and then subbed on Netflix, and they realized how much gets lost literally in translation. Anyhow, that enough from me on my soap box. Kloveyoubyeeee

[@palexanderrice]

Joe is right! When Plachy came into camera, I was like DAMN….dude got gains. I remember when he was a string bean

[@jl7998]

Benison's hugs sounds amazing

[@dattokar]

Benisons facial expressions are great this episode

[@Duffercity1]

Nicole and Benison should have taken this opportunity to show Joe how to use the chopsticks. Would have helped some of the viewers also. My bad...I made this comment before watching the end of the video. I guess I could just simply delete this comment altogether, but nah, I'll just own it.

[@racheltuskin2006]

Plachy's reaction when he realised he went too fast was funny. love Plachy

[@EightZen]

wait this PVF episode they mentioned in the Hotteok section... where is it? haha

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHvQhKmYia-WraM 💚

[@brettsuydam7457]

Benison hug tour sounds sick

[@kendramoerbeek3538]

I want a hug from Benison! 😢

[@petekaiser]

how i wish they feature an entire food from filipino fiesta...cause its an assortment of food that has lechon as the centre piece

[@gregstoddard8097]

I'm with Joe on the texture thing. Even having had south and east Asian foods most of my life I won't eat certain foods due to the texture. Natto has the added factors of the smell and partially due to the fact that I don't like most fermented foods, except Vegemite.

[@EmilyKaplan]

As a lifer-Hanson fan going to South Korea (and Japan!) later this year I will absolutely be singing Kimbap the tune of MMMBop whenever I eat it

[@adonis6332]

Wow love it❤❤❤

[@kenbozu1]

Joe should get those training chopsticks where there is a spring in between the two sticks to help you practice.

[@lifewuzonceezr]

Elastic around the ends help

[@sleepy_aesthetic]

I would dream to be hugged by Benison 😭❤️ (the ending)

[@zombiestalker420]

I just have to say i absolutely love EVERYONE in this pod. Idk it really warms my heart to watch and listen to this pod specifically because they people in it are generally Good people. Which makes me want to continue watching. Benison is sucha a sweetheart, Joe to me is like a non perverted cool dude, Nicole is just adorable and clean. Podcaster is a qt pie. That’s all I gotta say I just love you guys, keep up the good work ❤❤.

[@hp6964]

This was a great ep 💞. Looked like all really good food, so jealous

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I remember years back now in a PvF episode with the kids they had them try natto and none of them liked it.

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I'd like to give a name to Joe's theme song this week: The Asian Persuasion.

[@JoaniekArt]

seeriously love nicole and benison!!!

[@feewix]

crying about Nicole's mochi memory 🥲

[@the_peteybug7368]

Awesome Episode.

[@randar8540]

Me in Montana literally eating elk jerky from the elk burger that we just pulled from our freezer in the garage. Hunting season also just started last weekend and we just finished using all of our huckleberries on our pancakes a couple of weeks ago. If you ever get the chance try huckleberry BBQ sauce. It's the best. Also there's a lot of generational American Norwegians here that make traditional dishes. The stories behind it just aren't passed down.

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I just noticed Nicole's necklace! Is that supposed to be a sushi wrap necklace?

[@peterpeterpumpkineater9451]

Yea, it has to be

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Yep!

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Joe is so right about Asian cinema. I more recently watched all the Ju-on (The Grudge) movies, and there's a lot of going back and forth in the movies' timeline of events. I really enjoyed all of them because of that, but that's probably because I have a writer's brain. Something that's different narratively I tend to really like.

[@iselin90]

Benison is such a king and can we get Anthony on a episode of react bullseye or People vs food?

[@tadaoxu4651]

Chazuke is a simple yet comforting dish. Not sure about the “eating on holidays”. Can eat any day of the year😅

[@christopherrodrigues9871]

Love the show,watched it with my family, the Korean blood sausage. Is similar to Haggis.scotish blood sausage ❤❤❤❤

[@trebmal007]

Huckleberry FTW - on a visit to Missoula Montana I had Huckleberry ice cream, it was really good!

[@sochii5059]

React podcasts are soooo healing to listen to ❤❤❤

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

This is making me really hungry for Asian food now!

[@reevo7798]

Keep the stumble, Kevin. Looks great on ya!!

[@Songdaddy]

Are you kidding, biscuits an gravy, shrimp & grits, brussels sprout sliders, buffalo wings, fried chicken, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

[@ChaLiang]

I love nattou! It's best mixed with rice. And it's cute how Nicole pronounces okonomiyaki.

[@brieezy.]

Dude, I am about to scour Uber Eats and see if I can find somewhere that has these Asian dishes❤ I know I’ve had mochi before because I used to go to anime conventions all the time and I’ve even gotten those snack boxes from like Tokyo treat

[@nikomouse6583]

You guys should do an episode on K-town and how it became what it is today.

[@logankerlee]

This video was so much fun to watch! I grew up in a city that was across the water from Seattle. While there I ate a wide variety of foods. :D Totally relate to Joe's foods though! His stories about foods and all that were nice. :) hahahaha, wow. Hunting culture's big in my family! My dad's a hunter and I've gone hunting with him a number of times. So much fun! lol, now I'm wanting to give a massive hug! :D Perfect way to close this video. :)

[@alexwebber5317]

The shots of Plachy eating 😂 29:03

[@TammyLand420]

Awwww now i need a beni hug in my life! Anthony make him do the hug tour haha 💖

[@Ossey1976]

I, as a german, knew what Soondae was by just looking at it.... Not a huge fan of the german version, "Blutwurst" when it is raw, but cooked, there is a dish I absolutely love: "Himmel und Äärd" .... Heaven and Earth... Bloodsausage, mashed potatoes and roasted onions.... may work with sooondae too...

[@razoredgeknife]

Himmel und Äärd, Tell me more cause it sounds delicious.

[@denisemkh]

This was the best episode ❤❤❤

[@TammyLand420]

Haha omg joe wit the chopsticks..just like me 😂😂😂😂

[@georgechristianjr]

This was fun, NOTHING id eat but fun to watch 😂

[@lizziepopcole140]

Vienna sausages, casseroles, pork rinds, boiled peanuts, fried apple pie with hoop cheese on top, biscuits and gravy, sh!t on a shingle, etc

[@timisme8360]

A giggly, good hearted hug from Nicole would be just what the doctor ordered as well! Unless she turns it into a try not to hug challenge where the punishment would be a good swift kick in the butt! 😂 Naaah, worth it. Bring on the hug

[@michaeltrejo1257]

Nicole!! Straight forward... "Yea they ferment them!"
