Title: The Culinary Elegance of Black Truffle Salt Introduction: In the realm of gastronomy, few ingredients command as much reverence and fascination as black truffle salt. A marriage of two culinary treasures - the earthy, intoxicating aroma of black truffles and the pure essence of salt - this exquisite seasoning tantalizes the senses and elevates dishes to extraordinary heights. In this essay, we explore the origins, characteristics, culinary applications, and cultural significance of black truffle salt, delving into its allure and enduring appeal. Origins and Characteristics: Black truffles, prized for centuries for their elusive nature and unparalleled flavor, hail from regions like France, Italy, and Spain, where they thrive in symbiotic harmony with certain tree species. Tuber melanosporum, the species commonly associated with black truffles, imparts a unique blend of earthiness, musk, and umami that captivates the palate. When finely ground and infused with high-quality sea salt, the resulting black truffle salt exudes a seductive aroma and robust flavor profile that is both decadent and nuanced. Culinary Applications: The versatility of black truffle salt knows no bounds, offering a passport to culinary creativity and indulgence. Its mere presence can transform the mundane into the extraordinary, turning everyday dishes into gourmet masterpieces. A mere pinch of black truffle salt can elevate simple fare such as scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, or creamy risotto to sublime heights, infusing each bite with an irresistible depth of flavor. Furthermore, its affinity for rich, savory dishes makes it a prized companion for pasta, meats, seafood, and even popcorn, adding a luxurious touch to any culinary creation. Cultural Significance: Beyond its culinary prowess, black truffle salt carries with it a sense of prestige and cultural significance deeply rooted in tradition. Truffle hunting, an age-old practice passed down through generations in regions like Provence and Piedmont, embodies a timeless connection to the land and a reverence for nature's bounty. The culinary celebrations that ensue upon unearthing these prized fungi serve as a testament to the integral role truffles play in local culture and tradition. Moreover, black truffle salt has become synonymous with luxury and sophistication, gracing the tables of fine dining establishments and gourmet kitchens worldwide, where it symbolizes indulgence and refinement. Conclusion: In conclusion, black truffle salt stands as a shining example of culinary elegance and innovation, capturing the essence of truffles in a versatile and accessible form. Its origins steeped in tradition, its characteristics defined by complexity, and its culinary applications limited only by imagination. As we continue to savor its seductive flavors and embrace its cultural significance, we pay homage to the timeless allure of this culinary treasure. Indeed, black truffle salt transcends mere seasoning, embodying a legacy of taste, tradition, and culinary excellence that continues to inspire and delight epicureans around the globe.

"May the Schwartz be with you!" Fun Fact: The scene with John Hurt at the diner who had the Alien inside of him was actually the same guy from "Alien" (1979). It really makes his line hilarious. "Oh no, not again!" Also, George Lucas loved this movie and wrote Mel Brooks a letter after its premiere, saying he thought he was going to bust something from laughing so hard. George Lucas also told Mel Brooks had he not chosen to parody "Star Wars", this movie would have succeeded as a great adventure movie. Mel Brooks said he was extremely flattered by George Lucas's compliments and support.

[@1wwtom]

From the Spaceballs documentary, Mel said he sent the screenplay to George Lucas to get his OK to make Spaceballs. George told Mel OK but told him he couldn't sell Spaceballs merchandise to compete with his own stuff. That's why you see the Spaceball sheets, action figures, toilet paper, shaving cream and everything he had in the store in the movie. Another thing you may not have noticed was when the group gets into Yogurt's lair, they kind of resemble the Scarecrow, Dorothy, the Tin Man and the Lion in the shot. You didn't mention the "Druish Jokes" either.

[@SyzygyNoon]

Hey, I resemble that remark, however, I am not Druish. Oy..

@14:53 when Dark Helmet says to take a 5 min break we don't see anything of the Spaceballs for an actual 5 minutes in the movie. Before Star Wars premiered in 1977, director George Lucas and 20th Century Fox approached Mego about producing Star Wars action figures, but the company passed because it didn’t expect the movie to do very well. Instead, the Kenner toy company acquired the license. In 1978, Kenner released the first Star Wars action figures: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and R2-D2.

[@CosmicGoku529]

Yep and those toys made Lucas almost as much money as the movie did.

[@JacobLunbeck]

What I love about this movie is how timeless it is. You can get all of the references, or none of them. It is hilarious either way.

For anyone who doesn't know: Apart from the reference to the sedative Valium, "Prince Valium" is also a reference to the comic "Prince Valiant" - easily distinguished by the haircut (though Valiant is dark-haired).

If you haven't seen Mel Brooks' The Producers, there are 2 versions, the original from 1968 and the 2005 remake, which is really an adaptation of the Broadway musical. They're both worth your time. What makes this movie better than it would have been is that George Lucas found out Brooks was making a Star Wars satire, so he gave Mel full access to Lucasfilms, so he had the best special effects technology available for 1987.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Since I saw the 2005 version first, It has a special place in my heart and I like it more than the 1987 version. I just love the performances more in the remake and the song numbers, even though I love GW in the original.

[@christhornycroft3686]

@@TheDaringPastry1313 the songs still make me laugh out loud. Springtime for…you know who?

[@Crazael]

The reason Spaceball One looks so impressively detailed in the opening is because Industrial Light & Magic did all of the visual effects. The same people who did Star Wars. Also, fun fact, part of the price for getting ILM to do the effects is that Lonestar could not look like Han Solo. So Brooks make him look like Indiana Jones instead. 10:56 the "Assholes" bit is easily one of my favorite jokes in the whole movie. 20:30 The dolls scene was totally adlibbed. They sat Rick Moranis down with a bunch of dolls dressed up as the characters and told him to have fun and started filming. The whole scene is great, but my favorite part is the look on Moranis' face just before the scene ends when he realizes that Col. Sanders just admitted to seeing him playing with his dolls. 25:09 So, I worked it out a while back and, and Lonestar's dad would have only need to have two siblings who each had at least one child for the former roommate to have been Lonestar himself. 28:06 There's a space shuttle and the Millenium Falcon parked at the diner.

Funny thing about Rick Moranis and John Candy. In Ghostbusters, the role of Louis was supposed to go to John Candy but he turned it down. Then John immediately recommended Rick for the role. John also made a cameo in the Ghostbusters music video so in a way he was a part of the movie. And then these two eventually did this movie together. That's the fate of Hollywood. Nothing will top the funny men of the 80's who brought us so much laughter and joy.

FYI Rick Moranis is considered short 5'5" and it's a shame that he doesn't act anymore, but yes he's a comedy legend. John Candy may he R.I.P. was a very funny comedian and I've heard he was very friendly in person. I think was one of Bill Pullman's first movies, btw I loved him in Ruthless People, another great comedy that everybody should see. Mel Brooks is a pretty good actor, but great director, love all his movies, he's got a great sense of humor. I'm a huge fan of parodies and I loved this movie, can't say anything bad about it. Loved the cameo from John Hurt (R.I.P.) as well.

Picking up on the Wizard of Oz was good too. And you managed to get most of the really great stuff into the video. Yeah, back in the days of the original trilogy, Star Wars merchandise was EVERYWHERE. Damn near on the toilet paper, which is why it was such a joke here. George Lucas gave Mel Brooks permission to parody all that stuff to such an extent on one condition - NO merchandise! He didn't want any competition/confusion in the marketplace (where he was making the really BIG money from Star Wars).

words can't express how much I love this movie

[@vanessawhitegoat8859]

Why do we enjoy watching movies with you two? 🤣 You guys are so entertaining 😁👍

[@devilkyn1]

Great reaction Boys! Seeing your videos always brightens my day. John Candy was an amazing comedic actor. Your reactions to the ohter two of his films was great as well. It would be amazing to see you guys also react to "the Great Outdoors (1988) with him and fellow Canadian Dan Aykroyd! Until the next video, May the Schwartz Be With You...

“There’s been a new breakthrough in home video marketing.” Who would’ve guessed a parody from the mid 80’s would’ve correctly predicted straight-to-Disney+ movie releases forty years later?

The line from Dark Helmet near the end: "I am your Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's former room-mate." Just do the 'math' on that. Your "Father's Brother" is your uncle, his Nephew is likely you, or another male relative in your generation, so he's YOUR Cousin's former room-mate.

Not necessarily, could be your uncle's nephew by marriage and no blood relation to you.

[@kennethcook9406]

@@pompe221 That would still be your cousin, because we don't really call anyone cousin-in-law.

"Dont tell me its right through the F'n door?" 10:13. 🤣🤣🤣. Absolute Classic Comedy, so happy to see my favorite bro's watching this! "Keep Firing A**holes!!"

I saw this movie in theaters and the alien dancing number was the most explosive crowd laugh moment. 😂

Hats off for calling "Planet of the apes" that early, wow! The word "schwartz" is a variation of the word "schwanz". That strange guy next to pizza-the-hut, and also later the the TV-announcement of his death, were both a reference to legendary show "Max headroom" (actually a good one)

[@sterlingwoods917]

When that alien popped out of that guys stomach. He was the same guy from the movie alien when the same thing happened. Keep it up guys!!!

[@aaroncoffman88]

As I recall there was once talk of a sequel to this. It was to be called "Spaceballs 3 the Search for 2"

The song Barf is listening to when you first see the RV is "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi. It is on the Slippery When Wet album, but their best album overall is Bon Jovi New Jersey.

[@mitchy17]

I'm a few weeks late on my reply. But if you want to know the name of the music track when the "space RV" shows up first, it's "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi. Great song 😎😎

[@TarossBlackburn]

With the Alien bursting from John Hurt... Look up "Michigan J Frog" ;D

[@nancyomalley6286]

Yes, that WAS the original Alien actor, John Hurt

[@russrollins9978]

One of my favorite things about this movie is the the character who said "We ain't found sh*t" when they were combing the desert was played by Tim Russ, who was Tuvak in Star Trek Voyager.

[@karlsmith2570]

Fun Fact for you guys: The actor who voiced Pizza The Hutt was Dom Deluise who was kind of a regular in Mel Brooks movies as he appeared in other Mel Brooks movies such as, "Robin Hood:Men In Tights", Silent Movie" and "Blazing Saddles" And the actor who played King Roland, Princess Vespa's father was Dick Van Patton, who also appeared in "Robin Hood:Men In Tights" as The Abbott officiating the wedding between Maid Marion and The Sheriff of Rottingham, Which was a parodied version of the Sheriff of Nottingham

[@TarossBlackburn]

Also he was the king in the Super Mario Bros movie :D

35:55 The Great Outdoors is another great John Candy classic. I highly recommend it.

[@jamesmarciel5237]

8:31 The Pizza the Hut character actually almost killed the special effects artist puppeteering it. That is actual melted cheese and sauce and cooked pepperoni. The special effects artist is actually inside the costume. He almost had heat stroke from being under all that melted cheese, baked bread and cooked toppings. The film makers had to use the first and only take as he and everyone else refused to get back in there.

[@bigorange2082]

Mel Brooks wanted to have the ship go on for like 15-20 minutes.

[@zerodadutch6285]

I remember hearing in the audio commentary there was originally supposed to be MORE pizza the hut but the costume was malfunctioning and the actor in the suit refused to get back in after the first take or two.
