That first one tho. 🤦🏽‍♀️ As a person who had to battle with food insecurity in my youth, these wasteful and deliberately disgusting recipes drive me absolutely crazy. That literally could’ve been either a perfectly good tuna casserole or a nice baked mac and cheese that could’ve fed an entire family, but instead she decided to combine the two and create a monstrosity that fed literally no one. Just. Ughh. I can’t.

[@terracedflame4702]

I bet she threw the thing away after filming one bite

[@0o0eM]

I still remember that one time my dad got mad at me for throwing away a good slice of bread. We were struggling financially at that time. I was 8 or so but feel bad for wasting any food to this day. Food battles in stupid movies ruin the whole movie or franchise for me. I always hope that the food from contests ends up donated. And then this... I have no words.

[@Lorrissyoutube]

The food wastage caused by these stupid tiktoks just pisses me off too, especially at the moment with food insecurity rampant and the environmental crisis! Also, isn't that first recipe quite expensive to make? Two blocks of cheese like that would set you back quite a bit where I live

[@hurtmei6420]

[@GatorAidMedical]

@San the Man lol what do you think a roux is?

[@defaultuser1447]

Like some of the others have said, there's nothing wrong with a cheesy tuna-noodle casserole, if well made. It was quite a while ago that I learned how to make bechamel and derivatives, so no more need to dump in gloppy canned soup. A white sauce with the cheese melted in, mixed with tuna (I like peas too). Nothing wrong there.

[@bakes82]

But the classic tuna noodle casserole uses cream of mushroom soup, its very nostalgic for some. I make it maybe once every couple years.

[@MrJerichoPumpkin]

except the tuna

[@liamlowenthal8476]

I had it when I was younger and it didn't have 8lbs of cheese in it. -.o But when he said to cut the tuna out, I was just thinking, this is probably not a dish kids right now would like. Kind of how we thought those weird ass jello recipes were insane, now it's our turn to look crazy. lol Just keep in mind friendos, you're not special - you're going to be on the chopping block once the next generation finds something to piss and moan about on your accounts. :P

The ratio of cheese to tuna is kind of hilarious.

[@bean3550]

The burger and chicken roll up kind of reminds me of this super old fashioned recipe called roly-poly pudding. Essentially dough with things like bacon and mushrooms in it, rolled into a log, boiled and then cut up to fry.

I don't know. There's something just gross to me about putting raw meat on puff pastry. It just seems wrong, but I've never tried it.

[@florenciacecilia6942]

Why?

[@ducklinsenmayer7681]

@@florenciacecilia6942 Maillard reaction. You lose a lot of flavor without it; that's why you brown the meat in a beef wellington before you put it in the pastry. IMO, both recipes could have worked much better if you made some basic changes, first.

[@DimT670]

@@ducklinsenmayer7681 yes but the puff pastry absorbs all the juices and so does the meat. You win some you lose some

[@ducklinsenmayer7681]

@@DimT670 That's why the pastry itself came out looking so gray. And why traditional recipes use a layer between the meat and the pastry. If you browned the meat first, it probably would have been a lot better.

[@ashipper8223]

@@florenciacecilia6942 It seems like the raw meat juice would soak into the pastry before it cooks and maybe give it a weird texture.

[@mister-canada367]

When I saw the first recipe, I was thinking I would swap out the tuna for chicken and cook the onions a bit to at least make it somewhat edible. Not that I would ever make that recipe haha.

[@abididubidi7815]

Maybe try leaving out one of the kilos of cheese

[@Cyclobomber]

Without watching the story I can already tell the moral of the story: TikTok sucks and I'm happy not watching it and doing actual cooking instead.

[@sajohnson09]

Shaba kitchen, heh I tried one of the recipes on there since it legit looked decent (was some egg bites basically) and as I was making it I noticed mine didn't hold form like hers for whatever reason, that leads me to believe a lot of these recipes not only suck but are edited in ways to omit things.

[@unicornsgalaxy]

The tuna casserole is very similar to the ones I grew up eating...only we had way less cheese & would only sprinkle some on the top. Then I would load it up with white vinegar when eating it. Also eating it with a buttered saltine....tastes like home. So good!

[@breestone8978]

Weird i do mine similar, except i use tobasco for that vinegar and heat combo dont knock it till you try it😋

[@callioscope]

Omg … I ❤️ the sarcastic chef who reacts. I think he has only hated one recipe-a savory one-that I’ve watched, and is partial to baked goods. I am so glad he showed up in my feed, like SF author Patrick F Johnson, who takes dry to a new level. If he writes like his TikToks, he should be an entertaining read.

[@raeannewintjen8677]

The second recipe did totally look a lot tastier when Seymour made it than it did in the tiktok xD it was much less flat and mushy looking.

[@Seolyk]

The tuna noodle casserole my mom makes is like that but without any Velveeta or goldfish and you mix everything with the noodles uncooked and the soup cooks the noodles but they aren't mushy It is super cheesy tho

[@ebonychan]

the preparation destroyed the puff on the "savory cinnamon rolls" but i've made homemade puff before and put in pesto, bacon bits, and parmagiano reggiano and baked it all off and holy shit was it incredible. you REALLY need to chill it in tube form before cutting. that, and honestly the recipe i used had the ingredients for croissant dough with the butter lamination being the full puff method, so there was yeast. left to rise, you really get that fluffy gorgeous bake in the middle with a strong crispy flaky exterior. seriously, worth every second of prep. i've made it multiple times

[@kacpergalik609]

I admire your commitment to trying these abominations. Cheers from the country of Poland :D

[@aequoreavictoria2726]

You want an actually good casserole recipe? Then do 2 boxes of cornbread mix, 2 sticks of butter, 2 cups of sour cream, 2 cans of corn (whole or cream), and a thin thin layer of cheese on the top. Perfect casserole that isn’t poison

[@kaldogorath]

You know, I was exactly the person you talked about before the tuna one. I have a tuna noodle casserole that's great. Has peas, cheese, no cream of mushroom though, I like the more pure flavor. I also do mac and cheese with tuna and peas. But that thing was a waste of food, it's obscene and not in a good way.

[@chicanerypod]

I'm soso sorry about your camera :/ happened to me once with my super expensive DSLR, and my heart dropped when it happened.

Hi David, New subscriber, love the vids! Even though this one was put up almost a year ago, I just wanted to share a quick tip with tuna casserole. Try using albacore tuna next time you make it, rather than the usual, cheaper skipjack tuna on the grocery shelves. When I first started making tuna casserole about 10 years ago I'd get so frustrated at how strong the fish flavour was. I tried everything I could think of to lesson the blow but it never worked. Finally I gave up. However, I recently decided to try it again and asked for advice about the flavour on one of my Facebook cooking groups. The advice across the board was to use albacore tuna as it has a MUCH milder flavour to it. So I gave it a shot and OH MY GOD! I had no idea how delicious tuna casserole can be! It's a total game changer 😊

[@SensationallySilky]

This was cute! (Requisite old people post) Back in the 90's when my sister was shilling Pampered Chef goodies we used to prep sandwich rings with puff pastry and biscuit dough that were hella tasty.

[@nucleartoilet4646]

My family's tuna casserole is the bomb. No weird mushroom can be needed. Ingredients: -2 cups Pasta -1 Onion, diced -3 Garlic cloves, minced - 1/2 tablespoon Paprika - Salt and Pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste -Calda de Pimenta (as much or as little as you want, it is for spice. I add a full tablespoon) -Olive oil for sauteing. -1 cup veggie stock -2 tuna can (Or even better, fresh Tuna or Bonito that has been grilled previously) Step 1: Cook pasta according to instructions Step 2: Put olive oil in a pan and saute the onions until golden. Heat should be on medium. Step 3: Add minced Garlic. Cook for 3 minutes. Step 4: Put tomato paste, paprika, salt, pepper, and veggie stock, but most importantly the Calda de Pimenta. If you can't find one at your local market, check a South European or South American market. Once all mixed, add the tunas. Step 5: Let the mixture start simmering, once it does simmer for around 15 minutes or until the sauce is at medium thick consistency take it off the heat and mix it with your pasta. Step 6: Put it in a casserole dish evenly, and distribute a layer of shredded mozzarella or cheddar or Havarti cheese on top. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Step 7: Eat.
