Developing My *Palate --- Digi Daily #16

[@KuiperHaumea]

The more I understand Digi, the more I recognize just how massively different we are from the ground up. Like, our taste intersects kind of closely at the point of anime, but my approach to "my parents' cooking isn't great" has been to become a better cook. It's so much cheaper, and sometimes I end up at restaurants anyway but I always have the option to make delicious shit for like $2-3/meal. Living the life I want to would be a hell for Digi, and living the life he wants to would be a hell for me. And despite all that, and the fact we're in fields so unrelated as to be impossible to connect, I would probably cite his body of work as an influence on me as an artist.

[@KuiperHaumea]

Theo Cambel You wouldn’t think an opera singer and an anime analyst would do similar things, but part of learning a role is analyzing a score-both the perspective I have on life and the way I analyze media have been changed to some small but noticeable degree by Digi’s content, and both of those things shape how you build characters. I’m still a student, but who knows! If in five years’ time digi is still doing this whole KZbin thing and I’m still watching/listening, he might have subtly changed a few thousand opera performances I end up singing in.

[@Alienrun]

Our morals aren't nessesarily the same (me and Digi) but I highly respect him for being able to articulate himself in a way that's inviting and honest and genuine! Not just that...but there's stuff it seems come to him more naturally than to me, well at least based on what I can interpret from him...and yet with other things it seems (like you) sometimes the way we approach/like things intersects more than I care to admit. It's quite fascinating when you think about it, but I wouldn't have it any other way! There are a handful of other youtubers that have better morals and I relate to more (and help shape my art and blah blah blah), but Digi being so honest and putting out so much content more directly helps me as a person, even if its just via me taking what he says at face value and applying what's relevant to my life... ...and when you really think about it...isn't that kind of the point of these videos? :/

[@ChibiChubbyRobo]

Lukador Bernstyle you are Digi on intelligence

[@chocolate1bluebird]

This is depressing.

[@buttholeweeb621]

Lee Hanel how?

[@MayorOfEarth79]

Break out from pickiness man. Food pickiness brings nothing but sadness. If something taste bad (like boiled brussel sprouts), then learn that there may be a different way to have it better (braised brussel sprouts). American Food can be so diverse, but really need a better food culture to teach our children how to cook and why to try new shit rather than the cheapest shit to serve kids in lunch rooms.

[@Kinochai]

Is it weird that listening to his own voice is how Digi draws everyday?

[@Alienrun]

I mean...its not like he didn't explain WHY he was doing that in great detail or anything...

[@Kinochai]

He says that he wanted something to listen to while he draws. I just find it funny that he decided his voice would be best

[@Alienrun]

Well he also said "there isn't enough podcast material" so he figured the best way to go about it was to "make the podcasts himself" a few months in advance... ...its actually rather smart. I probably wouldn't mind doing it myself if I had a reason to lol :P

[@psychedelicbee5039]

There is absolutely enough podcast material that's such a load of shit hahaha

[@Alienrun]

+Psychedelic Bee The Podcast material that Digi is looking for needs to be... A. Good & B. Easy and Quick to find

[@Snaoe]

That pasta looks fucking delicious

[@tomasroque3338]

I first found your channel a bit over 2 years ago, and the more I learn about your life, the more I realize how different our lives have been.

[@sammysung-S5]

I was very picky too and I still am. I always brought the same lunch too. Lol

[@nekolover881]

My parents never bought us lunchables and me and my siblings would beg snd beg so one day they did and we all sat down to eat our linchables for dinner and I remember being like so underwhelmed and grossed out. Kids are weird

[@fluffyribbit1881]

Almost all the advantage between restaurant food ove home made food is how much fat restaurants are willing to add to their food. If you go to say, a Paula Deen's, it's just going to be normal ass country food with 4-8x as much butter. You can season home cooked food to your pallete (I like pretty much everything a bit spicier than most people myself) and not have quite as much fat in your food.

[@jmiquelmb]

Just as a warning, there's a ton of snacks and stuff in my country that despite not having nuts listed as an ingredient, they warn you that they could contain traces of them. I don't know if they're forced to warn you in the US, but considering your gf is allergic maybe you should know.

[@muscularclassrepresentativ5663]

siegward of catarina those warnings are here too

[@Szczurzyslawa]

We always have warnings for traces of nuts and even milk or soy

[@xander-san5874]

In America you have to label it even if it might have been packaged in a place with nuts

[@PinuyashaRPG]

"I constantly talk about how I eat out all the time." - Digibro Now we know how this big weirdo got a girlfriend.

[@Xozzen]

American food culture is so interesting, it's surreal

[@toadwitch4670]

Xozzen this aint american dude, this is sad

[@Alienrun]

Not all americans are un-healthy as s**t, but sadly...some are! :(

[@damascus21]

Why don't you and May try Blue Apron?

[@kaeyasfavoriteeyepatch5924]

This was definitely how my life was living with my dad in my childhood. We were dirt poor so we couldn't really afford any actual food. I remember the usual things we would eat were mac and cheese, nuggets, quesadillas, cheap plain soup, and 7 dollar pizza from Dominos (which we usually had to buy using coupons because we couldn't afford to pay the full 7 dollars). I remember my dad would usually go without dinner sometimes just to feed us. It's really depressing thinking back, but I know my dad was in a really bad place back then and was trying his best.

[@Szczurzyslawa]

You tell me in America you get pizza and burgers for school lunch? What the hell?

[@spyOO4]

Szczurzysława On Friday’s they serve a flatbread cardboard rectangle they call pizza. The “burgers” are frequently terrible tasting but otherwise yeah, those things are extremely inexpensive in America and are the cheapest kinds of food for schools to buy.

[@weregretohio7728]

Lots of burgs. Wet, mushy, probably military-grade plutonium burgs.

[@tomasroque3338]

A Certain Unlucky Touma well, in portugal, you get healthy (and really cheap) meals. I remember basically any combination of cheap meat/fish with rice/pasta/potatoes and salad (lettuce/carrots/corn/peas/etc...). We also got a bowl of soup, bread, and water. We could repeat after the others had eaten and it was all for 1.17€

[@pedrorocha6044]

you mean Palate sir

[@orcaflotta7867]

was just about to say the same ... only without the Sir. ;)

[@monicaquant268]

yeah i was like...its this about colors

[@danielclaro6049]

To be fair I would love i hear digi talking about colors. He is one of the few analysts that apreciates a good color scheme

[@daltonriser1125]

oh shit i legitimately forgot there was a difference between the two spelling wise. I guess he really didn't have a good palate

[@09philj]

I'm lucky in that my dad is a great cook. He's not a foodie or anything, he just knows a lot of recipes and is always ready to learn more if they can feed a ravenous family of five. He got good at cooking because he left home at eighteen, and also because his diet at home hadn't been very adventurous or varied. Granny and Granddad weren't bad cooks at all, but I don't recall them ever making me meals other than mince and dumplings, meat/fish and chips (Granddad made his own chips. They were great.), or roast chicken.

[@dandylaion]

Digi, having a grandfather who's a chef, I seriously fell sorry for your bad eating habits ... better organize a trip to Italy to visit May's relatives ASAP !!!

[@ScozzWasTaken]

The more Digi talks about his childhood eating habits, the more I wonder how he's still alive. Like, Mountain Dew and Ho-Hos, Goddamn.

[@flanflam9686]

"queso cheese" lmao digi is uncultured

[@TheHiddenmist4]

EATING OUT EVERYDAY DOG!

[@Solwiz]

PEW! PEW! PEW!

[@jayterra2585]

I started cooking when I was like 10 or 11, before then I had wanted to but my dad and grandma both were scared of a child being near the stove. Eventually I started cooking and now I am 21 years old and a godly cook.

[@VulpineDemon]

I'm 26 and still eat mostly cheese and bread like I did when I was 10. No shame. Over time you appreciate quality more than you did as a kid. Kids will eat anything. Essentially I'm an expensive tastes kid now. With money.

[@raysgameplays]

what a sad existence, step up my man

[@xpl0d1n]

Since I've been cooking my own food I've eaten fried mushrooms+peppers+onions+cucumbers and one piece of meat every meal for ages

[@katsikatra]

I almost never eat out due to the disappointment. my picky friend whose mom couldn't cook would brag about five guys, got mad because I said it tastes like I made it myself.

[@oscardavila7810]

''I have strong opinions about burgers'' - Digibro 2018

[@Smartjedi]

Another strong cliffhanger.

[@nekolover881]

I’m so curious about May, she seems like she has interesting things to say. I can’t afford to be a patron tho so whatver lol

[@ChibiChubbyRobo]

10:37 for "Queso Cheese" This one's for your mom

[@jhjh151]

Who else watching this while eating some absolutely banging home food?

[@ziwawe]

You plebeians, The HUMAN CONTENT MACHINE is too busy producing meaningful content to mind petty things like spelling.

[@jayterra2585]

Look up a Shrimp Scampi recipe, they're easy to follow, can do it all in the same pan and they'll basically tell you at what point to throw in the next ingredients etc.

[@kahrkunne3960]

reminder that this is where your money goes if you pledge to this guy's patreon

[@muscularclassrepresentativ5663]

Kahr Kunne delicious Mac and cheese? Sounds good to me, I'd say his videos are well worth sharing some delicious pasta with the man

[@oscarlee3742]

The difference is paying Digibro is optional, while paying an employee is not.

[@tomateunmate]

Nah, you pay for the real content and everything else is what he did inhis free time. Youget to decide which is real and which isn't.

[@kahrkunne3960]

The point is that you're paying for his ridiculous lifestyle of eating out every day. If you can afford to live that lifestyle you shouldn't be living off of donations

[@hwoarang0001]

Kahr Kunne What do you care what he does with the money people willingly give him. You don't condone his lifestyle so he shouldn't be able to do it and people shouldn't be able to give him money? These are grown men and women,who choose to give away their cash on something they want or appreciate. You have no say in this transaction. People destroy their bodies everyday with cigarettes and fast food. Might as well not buy music from musicians who eat out everyday. Might as well not buy art from artists who smoke weed. What a ridiculous notion. If you don't want to support,don't. But don't project what you feel is right or wrong to do on other people. It's unhealthy.

[@sambaroglio1234]

Unearthing digibro was a really good decision for me.

[@Mahawww]

This man as fucked up as he is still loves his mom. This should be a lesson for a lot of people.

[@papabungle]

We need the Burger's Vlog ASAP.

[@ameneko98]

As a vegetarian, I agree fake beef is shit. Mock meat can be great, but tbh I'd rather just put whole (red/black) beans in my tacos. Cheaper and usually better imo.

[@ElDaumo]

words can not express how glad i am not to be american

[@toadwitch4670]

karottenkoenig this is not representitive of america

[@raysgameplays]

tru

[@ElDaumo]

Gruffin Waldrom well, america doesnt have its reputation as fastfood nation and pinnacle of unhealthy eating for no reason... here is something to back the claim up a bit: health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/chapter-2/current-eating-patterns-in-the-united-states/

[@MrCactuar13]

Nobody is arguing that, but especially for minorities (which makes sense since by default we're not in the other half of the statistics) most of our parents know how to make some decent food. My mom makes decent enough Chinese-styled food, my dad had to pick up the slack when her health started failing, and all of my Mexican friends' parents know how to cook. It also trickles down to us as well.

[@ElDaumo]

to be honest, original mexican food is what i actually envy you guys for

[@dankestcabin7152]

digi and may cooking show?

[@ChickenCast100]

Depressing Day 16 Seeya tomorrow!

[@SharkyKrunk]

I thought Salisbury Steaks were a thing only in Fallout. That's all I have to say.

[@Knight_Astolfo]

Listening to this after a hunting trip. I ate squirrel.

[@psytek1978]

I dont want to brag about the fact that italians know how to cook , but this videos of yours they really hurt my feelings and I'm in pain when I listen what you eat and what you ate while growing. If you provide : accomodation, raw materials and anime nights, I can be your italian chef :) peace Roberto!

[@Thantibus]

That reminded me that 5-6/7 days i eat fried meat w rice. It’s fcking terrible.

[@courtoreille6126]

I'm living off knock off soda and McDonald wraps

[@dusty2366]

I know you pain about school lunches. 99% of all my high school lunches were a cheese sandwich and an orange

[@denzildk]

rice can be fine as a small meal by itself, just cook it with some staranis/safron/other seed-like stuff for taste and it's not bad. Imagine you ment just pure rice and i dont think i could do that either :)

[@Adventurewizard44]

i eat anything as long as it is remotely edible, and if it is ok i find it great. then again i look like i have been starved my entire life so that my be why lol

[@TheSilverKetchup]

"Chicken nuggets are like my family"

[@Heatranoveryou]

I might be Digibro

[@Japanimepop]

I came here for the thumbnail

[@midevil656]

What the fuck is wrong with eating just rice digi, it's easy and filling.

[@bogfrog1234]

I thought my eating habits were bad.

[@longwoolcoat2266]

I'm so picky I became a cook to made good shit

[@Nkanyiso_K]

*Digibro the God Tongue* 14:14

[@OGR-4394]

Doesn't matter what you call it, meat & cheese is meat & cheese.

[@C1NDR0N3]

Day 16 Magical

[@oiinvadar]

Child Digi had the most awful food, I feel sad for him

[@HirohitoSyndrom]

Id get it if you just said i dont have the time to cook or i want to spend my energy on my work instead of cooking but if you want to learning to cook is really freaking easy, now dont get me wrong cooking is annoying as fuck but its pretty easy to learn. Just dont start with the hard stuff and instead go for easy shit like short fried meat, currys, everything potato. Also your probably just very used to the taste of tons of additives and salt and spices. Most restaurant food is so good cause its half fat and salt which naturally makes it more tastier.

[@Alexlinnk]

"Queeso cheese"

[@Varlwyll]

Didn't you make a video like a week ago about how you want to be less personal with your videos?

[@jhart6764]

FIVE GUYS!

[@snowballeffect7812]

I have the same tastes as your dad

[@TheWoWGrind]

I only enjoy eating out as well. Something about homecooked food is just "meh".

[@iamalittleboat]

lol get good

[@luv2shuvaskateboardjournal101]

I always love hearing digi brag about how much he "eats out", we GET IT you have a WIFE oh my GAWD

[@rattenkollektiv]

School Lunch in the USA is depressing. In Germany we get like...meals, ACTUAL MEALS! NOT THIS FAST FOOD SHIT! No wonder y'all got diabetes.

[@dayru_ru]

No wonder you were so depressed

[@SaberStash]

beef stew is dangerous

[@iamalittleboat]

foodie is my least favourite word

[@ChibiChubbyRobo]

champion lemon lime quit being a complainerie, you assholie

[@iamalittleboat]

[@rohithnibhanupudi9713]

American cuisine

[@DragonMasterGold]

I don't know whats wrong with you, what man wouldn't be satisfied with quesadillas every night, that's the bomb digity.

[@invasornabu]

I support this comment *Mexican seal of approval*

[@Jiggleslinky]

learn how to cook with a dutch oven, it will change your life

[@thatsniceman5081]

Worst one yet, not that it's that bad. Also, poor digimom

[@mordecaiepsilon]

Palette, because of the massive amount of food consumed by Digi.

[@TheOtakuChic]

You're not a foodie. Don't say you are. No. Not allowed.
