For every egged version, we (Indians) have eggless version of that!! So for us this is no big deal😊 Vegetarianism in India has slightly different connotation compared to Western veganism. Veganism is relatively new western import for Indians. In India vegetarianism includes dairy products as you don't have to kill the animal. They don't go into technicalities of fertilised or unfertilised eggs. For most of Indians eggs simply are not vegetarian. There is a new colloquial term that I have heard - Eggetarian - who are basically vegetarians with the exception that they do also eat eggs & egg based preparations. But they don't go beyond that. For us this is nothing complicated.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Thanks for taking the time to share that! 🙏

[@ishanshrivas6627]

Simple and complete comment. Liked❤

[@abdulkhujliwal786]

Actually in India, eggs are considered as non-vegetarian despite being "unfertilized", because there's no sureshot way of knowing which eggs are unfertilized, because even 1 out of 100 possibly unfertilized eggs can hatch if properly incubated. So technically, eggs fall into the gray area between vegetarian and non-vegetarian, kinda like Schrodinger's cat.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Thank you for taking the time to explain that! 🙏

[@s.s.8673]

Yes, nowdays eggs sold in market are not fertile but that wasn't always the case. Earlier eggs consumed were fertile before the whole farm industry thing. So, thats why eating eggs was considered killing a potential life. With dairy products it doesn't harm the animal life in any way. Also, we all drink milk as infants is part of our natural diet until and unless you develop lactose intolerance later in life. Plus, cows are sacred in India, often called mother lovingly and India is a heavily agricultural based country so cow products are widely used and accepted. Many religious ceremonies make use of milk products since they are considered sacred. So, thats why it is very common in India to find recipes that are substitute of non veg food. Animal protein is replaced by plant protein and in this case dairy protein. The basic idea is to not to hurt or kill the animal. But if course, it depends on what part of India are we talking about and what religion and what part of religion they are practicing. Shaktism practicing hindus in bengal would offer meat products to gods while Vaishnavism practicing hindus would never in their wildest dreams go anywhere near.

Many people consider egg as non vegetarian even though it may be unfertilised. But milk or milk products which do not cause any harm to the animal is considered vegetarian. Also a weird thing but many house holds do not consume mushrooms because it's not vegetarian even though it's not meat/meat product. It all comes down to different religious beliefs in different regions vs the availability of food in those regions. Its quite interesting really. Going back to the egg topic, if you go to an Indian supermarket and buy a product you'll see a green or a red dot on the packet. It's to indicate the use of any non vegetarian ingredients in the food product. Now they have introduced a yellow dot as well for food that has no non vegetarian ingredients except eggs.

The thing which you need to keep in mind while reacting to Ranveer's videos is that he's making these videos for Indian home cooks and amatures, not professional cooks. Foreign cuisine is even tougher to cook for locals because they don't know the basics of it. Most of the Indians are vegetarians and those who are non vegetarians very few of them cook non veg in their kitchen. So he tries to modify recipes for vegetarians. Second, Ranveer tries to create and teach those fancy recipes we see on the internet, movies and shows that we Indians would be able to cook and eat. Just like you western cooks and cheffs won't even have even 20% of the spices that are found in an average Indian home kitchen, it's natural for us to not have some of your ingredients that are required to cook your cuisines. Those thick bread or cream fresh may not be available in our Homes or even in store in small cities, because no one eats them. So Ranveer tries to create recipes for us, so that we can cook them with available ingredients in our kitchen without going on a literal treasure hunt to find those few Ingredients which can be replaced easily if we sacrifice authenticity.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

[@harshitabhuyan8892]

While i agree that there are a lot of vegetarians in India but you're grossly underestimating the number of non vegetarians in India. I believe you come from a mostly vegetarian state, hence your highly biased outlook but that isn't the case with most parts of the country. Most south Indian and east/Northeast Indian states are majorly composed of a non vegetarian population. A lot of northern states as well. And yeah most of us cook non veg at home because it is not frowned upon here. Maybe you should get out of your state a little and see the country with an unbiased outlook.

[@abirnigam8816]

Why are people so easy to trigger and offended these days on internet.

Read my comment calmly again you'll realise that I never said india is majorly vegetarian. I said India has a huge population of veg people. And amongst non veg people, most don't cook at home. Ranveer makes video in Hindi. Not for the south Indian ln population so they are out of the question. Ranveer have more nonveg video on his channel then veg. But he also makes video for veg people because veg people are a significant population. So he modifies recipes for veg people and if you've watched his videos (cause I have watched all of his videos) he himself even in most of the non veg recipes tell a way on how to cook them with paneer or in other veg ways. He has a recipie of eggless omlette, or how to cook chila like omlette. If only you could understand basic logic instead of just getting on the offensive as soon as you read something which is not absolutely 100% similar to your way of thought.

I see lot of people already addressed this but for a better understanding: 1. Non-Vegetarian (Marked with a Red Dot on the corner for food packaging) This doesn't necessarily mean someone who eats all meat, rather you eat some form of meat. Depending on religions, regions and cultures, one may or may not consume beef, chicken, lamb, pork, fish, crustacean etc. 2. Vegetrain with egg (often called Eggetarian locally, marked with an Orange Dot on the corner for food packaging): Same classification as vegetarian in western world. 3. Vegetarian (Marked with a Green Dot on the corner for food packaging): Same as a vegetarian except no eggs (as eggs are considered meat by many). There's no restriction on dairy. 4. Vegan (Marked with a green letter V on the corner for food packaging): Same classification as vegan in western world. 5. Jain (No official classification for food packaging, but often marked with a green letter J. Also known as strict vegetarian): This is a complicated one. So no meat, no eggs, dairy is fine, but no root vegetables or fruits. For example, garlic, onion, potato etc are not allowed. An oversimplification, but in short this stems from the Jain faith, where removing complete root for consumption is considered killing the plant, while trimming the tops or extracting fruits is considered ok. 6. Pescetarian (No official classification for food packaging): This is an uncommon category in India but most commonly found in the regions of West Bengal, where from personal experience we've seen people claiming to be vegetarian eat fish (probably because the category pescetarian isn't widely known, athough many still argue that fish isn't meat). Another mythological story I've been told often as a kid, is that a fish had accidentally entered into a god's bowl of elixir during an event where the elixir had to be consumed (but meat consumption wasn't accepted), so it was thus classified as a non-meat to bypass the situation. There are many other people whose beliefs have evolved over time but the above are the most common categories. [FUN FACT]: A major chunk of Hindu's who eat either meat or eggs, will not consume the same on one specific day of the week as either an offering of submission or as an atonement towards a diety. This day can change based on their faith in a specific god, but the most common one is Tuesday.

Is French toast meant to be crunchy or soft? On some of the recipes i have read always require an egg, which I think prevents the bread from getting dry as a toast should and somehow I think the moisture seem to retain on the outside and not just the inside.

[@IbarraEspolònDeLaRosa]

My French toast is eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk and I don't use stale bread or powdered sugar or bananas

[@AlastorsShadowDemon]

Same but minus the extract. I never grew up with the “sweet” French toast.

[@IbarraEspolònDeLaRosa]

@AlastorsShadowDemon for me the French toast never ended up particularly sweet as the cinnamon variety i used had more of a spicy bite to it

[@ThousandsThoughts-si4mt]

He is talking in India's context. We don't eat bread here daily. So if we buy one it lasts long and is stale. We use powder sugar.. boiling honey in ayurveda is considered toxic

[@debduttapathak8588]

It's not yours sorry its just his version and what he should do or not you have no right to dictate we Indians don't eat bread as a staple food

[@shauryachadha8782]

6:55 just like how you mentioned "Spanglish" in india we call it "Hinglish" which by the name itself it's basically a mix of Hindi and English or rather certain words are interjected while speaking Hindi Similar to what I'm assuming that certain English words are interjected while speaking Spanish? (please do correct me if I mistook it as spanish and not some other language)

[@Kinkajou1015]

Shoulda used FRENCH yogurt for FRENCH toast.

[@hattbe1472]

he didn't invent it, he launched it first there.

[@karnzter]

Uncensored cuss word. Nice. Hehehe Amusement aside, Jamie didn't put milk on the batter. But that's just me used to having and making French toast with milk-and-egg-based batter. Edit to add: the Le Rivage French toast and crême brulée look so divine 😭

[@ChefBrianTsao]

I agree, I like putting some milk in the batter!

[@karnzter]

@@ChefBrianTsao I agree. Jamie's just looks and feels like an egg toastie with a sweet filling.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Overall I think it was completely acceptable, I just don’t get the Greek yogurt.

[@navaldmello3]

He made eggless French toast cause in India lots of people are vegetarian, and he didn’t said that he invent fresh toast but he said they are the first in San Francisco who made with pineapple jam eggless French toast. He is one of my favorite chef who talk things in details and he also talk about history of food and spices

[@Not_Deb]

6:41 This is a very new and unknown thing probably you didn't heard it but lemme disclose it for the first time in the world...its called Vegitarianism ✨

[@ChefBrianTsao]

I’m very familiar w vegetarianism here in the states which includes animal products like milk, cheese AND eggs. With that said the viewers were kind enough to explain in the comments that in India due to religious reasons many vegetarians do no consume eggs but also varies greatly from region! Never knew that before!

[@Not_Deb]

​@@ChefBrianTsao Eggs are only Consumed in Non-vegetarianism but in case of Milk except Vegans all include it including Vegetarians, so the deciding factor is milk Also in India there is a concept of Eggitarianism which means when a Vegetarian eats Egg but no other meat is called Eggitarianism

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Good to know! Thanks for taking the time to explain! 🙏

[@Not_Deb]

@@ChefBrianTsao Sure my pleasure also look into Ed Sheeran cooking Misal Pav (Indian dish) from the Channel "Your Food Lab" You guys will love it ❤️

[@ashmitpahal]

Hey everyone curious difference between milk and eggs. Domesticated animals produce a lot more milk than wild ones so their calf has enough milk. And then enough milk for human consumption. Eating a egg is ending a life. And unfertilized ones are just menstrual waste that was not intended to consume. Like milk is produced by mamals for consumption but eggs are produced to reproduce. So these are different things.

[@seanhuff3868]

[@ChelleLockHeart]

At 3:36 Ranveer says " Eggs, but because we don't have any eggs here so I am adding some cream here". Maybe there was a shortage of eggs or when he made the video didn't have eggs in the house so made an eggless version.

[@tardisgrade]

When he says "we don't have eggs", he means "in this recipe" rather than "in the studio/kitchen". That idea gets across better in Hindi than in the English translated subtitles. This variation of the recipe accommodates for Indian vegetarians - many of whom do not eat eggs.

[@RealEstateEntrepreneur]

He's ruining the classic creole breakfast dish.

[@ThousandsThoughts-si4mt]

He is making it for us vegetarians who don't eat eggs. The video is not made for egg eaters. It's made for people who want substitute for eggs to make french toast

[@RealEstateEntrepreneur]

@@ThousandsThoughts-si4mt Then its NOT French Toast. Its something else.

There are a lot of different food practices in India and he often tries to tailor the recipes of these “international” dishes so that the largest percentage of his audience can make them. If people who don’t eat eggs can have access to a new dish like French toast and it’s a tasty recipe it’s a win-win.

[@PacificAsgard]

What's crazy about seeing this vid is that I had some French toast made by a lady friend of mines when I was on vacation last Sunday. The timing is impeccable 😂 Also the French toast she made slapped 😋 ❤❤❤

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Sounds like a keeper 😉

[@LoudKuyuki]

Why the chocolate sandwich with extra steps? Why greek yogurt? Why toasting the nuts with everything and take off when are still the same white as before? Why the banana with the yogurt and not with the chocolate? Why all?

[@s.mswapna3464]

As we have lot of vegetarians in India, Ranveer has shared the veg version of French Toast..Lots of Love to Ranveer Brar ❤❤❤

[@globalcitizenn]

As many ppl have already written, many Indians don’t eat eggs but would still like to try the things they see on tv so they create an eggless “dupe” as close to recreating the original experience. It won’t taste the same of course. The second thing is sweet eggs just don’t compute for the Indian brain.. we are not used to eggs & sugar. For us, egg is savoury & salty.. with green chilli & spices.. in curries or omelettes. We even have eggless versions of cakes and desserts. Most ppl just don’t like the eggy taste.

[@edeS_ImangnA]

Why he is not using Egg is because he said it himself he doesn't have egg.. If you were watching then you will see at around 3:35

[@prakharjain4183]

Indians here should go and give views to the real person with whose name these guys are making views

[@navroopsandha2859]

Also, I think crème fresh or mascarpone is not available in every city easily in India.. so it makes sense to use ingredients that are easily available in every household.. that’s what I think.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

agreed!

[@aadarshsaraf7959]

HE LITERALLY SAID THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE EGGS AT HIS PLACE. That's why he's making it eggless.

[@kainy146]

In the video he says punjabi cooking is also about 3 things butter butter n butter…but in subtitles it says pav bhaji 😂😂😂

[@Sharon46T]

That’s true! Frenchie should know this - 3 scallops for a starter and 5 for a main dish 😂

[@benf6822]

When I make vegan french toast I use silken tofu instead of cream and season it with kala malak (black salt) which gives the creamy texture and the semi sulphuric eggy taste with the benefit of the protein added. I think a lot of people sleep on silken tofus versatility.

[@HellFaust84]

I could hear Ron White say 'Fuuuuuuck.' When Frenchie's face went flat at Jamie Oliver's appearance.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

LOL

[@ducky449]

Learned something new, French Toast is my fav breakfast and I have always had cinnamon in it, I thought the eggs mixture with cinnamon was what made french toast called french toast. But its really the custard like coating on the bread. Once again love watching yalls content cuz as a home cook I learn so many things, now only if I would actually ever USE the stuff I learn. TY for all the content yall make and making it entertaining and educational to watch!

[@maxx666mayhem]

Absolutely blast of a video Love it,🙌👍🏻

[@shortlife777]

6:49 why? Most of the Indians are vegetarians and many don't even consume eggs or onion or garlic. So we improvise and we have some amazing dishes you will come across ❤

[@jessechounard]

So, is there raw egg/batter on the inside of Oliver's french toast sandwich thing? Or would it get hot enough to be fine?

[@srinidhit8298]

Most of the Indians do not eat eggs as we are vegetarians. So eggless receipes are the way to go. Those bananas have a hint of cardamom taste and they are more expensive than the normal bananas. They are healthier with more fiber and higher calories.

[@kevwwong]

Chef Ranveer's no-egg version looks amazing. With that said, I do still love me some HK-style French Toast.

[@shubhampalandurkar9183]

He's India's best chef right now....!!!! And had made himself perfect before going live....

[@beths4249]

He actually said ‘we don’t have eggs here’ so that’s why he learned this method I feel! As in other comments. Sounds like they don’t eat eggs. Interesting.

[@adityan3208]

We do eat eggs. But there is a substantial enough vegetarian population here, maybe he made it for them.

[@Sujata1712]

Don't underestimate Ranveer and Vikash, they are too good and made food with simplicity.

Jamie is really good with French toast, I'd definitely add some cream to that mix and more cinnamon. He has a great French Toast crumpet recipe aswell, which is a savoury version "Eggy French Toast Crumpets | Jamie Oliver"

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

@@ChefBrianTsao well you know what he's like 😅 he uses Greek yoghurt often as a cream substitute, guess he figures it more healthy

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

@@ChefBrianTsao now if he used a nice frozen yogurt I think that would have been really nice as I always like hot and cold contrast. Surprised he didn't knock up a fruit salad to have on the side. Probably also why he used the 70% dark chocolate to cut down on sugar

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Frozen yogurt I wouldn’t have been as insulted lol

[@FirstLast-gw5mg]

I'll be honest, sweet grilled cheese was my reaction to the eggless one. He's enriching the bread basically, and he's making a toasted jam sandwich, but it's not going to be an egg custard. Egg is just the fundamental aspect of a French toast. There might be a vegetarian substitute for eggs that would work in the recipe, but I just don't think cream and plain flour would achieve it. I think it would taste good and I'd be curious to see whether it really hit the note of French toast, but based on the recipe I just wouldn't expect it to quite make it.
