You f**king creep, idiot, bastard ? You spend your time judging others ? Who will judge you ? You are not even near of Jamie oliver and stay away from his videos if you don't like his cooking process. Such a Cheap person you are. Focus on improving yourself rather than passing and commenting others.

[@usagi7063]

he put jam on fry rice, im surprised that you're suprised he put yogurt in texmex

[@klubberzvonhatzenbuhl563]

The title of this video should be, “Why does Jamie Oliver hate other cultures?”

[@deangraves7462]

Why not just do a Greek-Mex fusion dish if you want it healthier. Then you could have the Greek yogurt with lime juice, salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper. Ground Lamb with Mexican Oregano (which is from the mint family), salt pepper, chili powder or a blened dried peppers, onions, and paprika and braised it in some beer (preferably mexican) with some bay leaf, and fresh rosemary. I would go with corn tortillas prepared over a flame with small crumbled feta and some pickled onions or hot peppers, with fresh pico de gallo and some salsa verde.

Had he called that a Greek or Mediterranean chicken wrap rather than Tex-Mex it would have been a home run rather that a strikeout.

[@jbsno1]

Yes... but he also missed the easy common ingredient between Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines: oregano. While Mediterranean oregano is different from Mexican oregano, it's at least a plausible substitute like paprika for chipotle or ancho. Once again, Jamie Oliver is showing he's as thoughtless as he is disrespectful.

[@HappyWaffle]

A bit of trivia on Jamie Olive Oil that you may or may not know. The BBC were doing a documentary on River Café (an Italian restaurant in London with 1 Michelin Star). Jamie was a fresh-faced line cook working in that kitchen that day. If I remember correctly he was approximately 2 months into that job. The BBC producer doing the documentary took a liking with him because of his charisma (read: he was very good at blagging) and his young face was what they were looking for to replace an aging cast of TV Chefs. So basically they handpicked a chef with next to nothing cooking experience and brought him to the mainstream. He was a hit with the young female crowd when he was young and babyfaced. It is no surprise that chefs like Gordon who paid their dues in kitchen and actually know a thing or two about cooking dislike Jamie.

[@sigmablock]

This explains tbh why he's actually decent in Italian cooking.

[@tipi5586]

Just let it be known: he's not universally loved in Britain either. He's a very divisive figure in a way, mainly because his material has involved showing off his own wealth a decade before Instagram normalised such showiness. And almost all of his criticism of the eating habits of the public is aimed at working class families. Also: I'm british and not a chef but would never dream of not using cumin in a Mexican/Tex Mex dish.

[@gruenergenosse]

He also took the Turkey Twizzlers away.

[@JoshF848]

I think his intentions are good but he misses the mark badly on a lot of his healthy eating campaigning. A recent example was when he threw his weight behind a government plan to ban 2 for 1 offers on "junk" food, which would disproportionately hurt poorer people, and do nothing to make nutritious food any cheaper or more accessible.

[@yohannessulistyo4025]

The way he derided unwanted cuts as "disgusting" easily reeks elitism. And the way he tried to appeal to hippie vegan simply makes it pretentiously noveau riche-like. People eat whatever parts of animal they slaughtered - nobody just get their loins, ribs, or maybe rump - and then throw away the rest of the carcass. A lot of Europeans who eat animal offals, from Scottish haggis to Italian trippa are obviously offended by his attitude with animal parts elitism.

[@nihlify]

I think when he originally broke through he was pretty universally loved, but that quickly changed with the years.

[@Leenarietto]

The thing with "healthy-fying" foreign dishes (without explicitly stating that it's a "diet" version of it) is that it's especially bad if it's a cuisine your audience is unfamiliar with (i.e. Brits and Tex-Mex). You might end up making them dismiss an entire type of food because of an underwhelming dish. Like imagine if the first time you ever ate pizza, it was a small flat piece of whole-wheat crust, with only tiny bits of low-fat cheese and tomatoes, with only salt and pepper for spices (no oregano or basil). Would it be edible or even decent? Sure. Would it be healthier than a normal pizza? You bet. Would you be forgiven for thinking the world is really overhyping it? Absolutely.

[@TheTowateke]

We are pretty familiar with tex-mex, jamie is just an idiot. He can only mediocrely cook british and italian food

[@alundavies1016]

I’m a home cooker, British male. If I want to cook something I haven’t cooked before, or outside my narrow range, then I pick up one of the books I have bought through the years and read about it. What I would not do is buy a Jamie O book. Brits can cook as well as anyone else, we like spice, please don’t judge us by Jamie!

[@Mezmorizorz]

There's really no substitute for general familiarity with the cuisine and help from practitioners for things that are really far from your "home" wheelhouse. At least that's my experience as a home cook. I can generally speaking make pretty competent creole, something in between tex-mex and mexican, and italian because I know what it's supposed to taste like and can play with things until it tastes like that. I'm pretty lost outside of that barring a really good recipe starting point given to me. Like I've made some delicious east Asian stuff because they gave me a sauce recipe that's already perfect with no fiddling, but that kind of thing is really hard to find in 2024 and I am still not familiar enough with the cuisine to free style at all.

[@LCastilloGrill]

Mex/American who lives in Texas checking in. This episode was cathartic. Love when somebody can differentiate the two. 100% the common telltale signs of TexMex is the use of copious amounts of cheddar cheese (shredded or melted), sour cream (thicker one), Comino (cumin), heavy black pepper, chipotle or chili powder, and the use of iceberg lettuce/roma tomato in just about anything. Need that crunch, and you need a meatier tomato so it's not super watery. I prefer authentic mexican food, but sometimes Tex Mex hits the spot. Crunchy tacos and chimichangas hit pretty hard. Then again, fried food is just addictive in general lol.

[@tylerjames962]

Ancho Chile powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, and chopped garlic mixed with olive oil. Place underneath skin of chin and bake it with the onions and romas if you want. Remove the skin and shred the chicken then blend the garlic, onion, and romas to create a paste, add in a broth to make it more of a liquid state. Heat the chicken in a skillet briefly with the sauce to mix together. Heat tortilla and place chicken then add fresh lime squeezed, cheese, and cilantro. If he wanted a healthy crema, just blend Greek yogurt with mashed avacado and use that. Done.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Sounds amazing! 🤤

[@jacoballey21]

olive oil is not mexican or texan (and neither asian. shout out to uncle roger). using olive oil is a huge mistake.

[@tylerjames962]

Works very well though to blend and use as a rub, better than using vegetable oil.

[@kevwwong]

If you make extra rub, take that, coat the corn with it, wrap the corn individually in foil and toss it into the oven with the chicken (assuming it's the same 400F we see in Jamie's video) for about 25-30 minutes. Butter would be better than the olive oil, but that isn't "healthy" or whatever.

I agree. The problem here is the nomenclature. If Jamie called this "Jamie's delicious chicken dish" I would have no problem. But if you're going to invoke tex-mex and capitalize on the caché of that term, you need to operate within the parameters. Here in New Mexico, here's what we would have done. Made Carne Adovada (braised chicken with garlic, cumin, limes, oregano. Added red chili sauce for liquidity and green chili sauce for flavor and texture. If you're serving to non-natives add crema agria, cheese, and flour tortillas. Otherwise, keep it healthy

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

I would have a problem with that, because you're calling something Jamie invented "delicious."

[@jcohasset23]

This is a fairly common thing that comes up in many of Jamie's videos of him either not explaining why he's using certain ingredients and methods in a non-traditional way when making a traditional dish or him completely labeling a dish wrong. The end result is it gives the impression he's not being respectful to the original dish by bastardizing it in a way that's going to insult some of the viewers and sometimes just mucking about producing a video just to make a video.

[@PaceBreaker]

Right from the preview clip, I'm immediately reminded of The Great British Bake Off doing tacos. In an age of easily accessible information, someone can just search for a Tex-Mex recipe or video to get an idea or even substitution options.

You could also use ground coriander and chili powder. Also my preference for tortillas for a while has been corn tortillas. I’m also not a huge fan of Sour Cream (at least not plain) but you flavor it and make more of a sauce, and I’d enjoy it more! It’s not that unhealthy. Also if you’re like me and calcium deficient, it’s a good way to get calcium in the meal. As for no cheese, meh. Tacos are already healthy. You can find some kind of cheese to add to it in small quantities. Cheese is good for you! The biggest gripe as you mentioned is just calling it Tex Mex when it’s really not! lol 😂

[@Endquire]

My grandmother used to make huge stacks of tortillas. She rolled them out with a rolling pin and cooked them on a cast iron griddle plate She put on the stove top. She flipped them with her finger nails. The only flavor needed was salt in the dough and the char from the cast iron. I have never had tortillas that tasted like that from elsewhere. There have been no pre-made and certainly not any whole wheat tortillas. Jamie's audience is British home cooks who will probably never know any different or any better than what he is presenting. That British baking show that did their Mexican week was horrifying and while it showed some younger people were more familiar. The older participants were completely lost. I think some of the host people were even pronouncing things wrong or giving wrong information even though they were supposed to be knowing and worldly. Plus you have complications because it seems like Spain is Mexico for British people. So there is quite a difference between what the Spanish definition of tortilla is and what it is in Mexico. The same goes for horchata and who knows what else. Most people just accept what they are given and will never look into the information they are fed to determine its accuracy or validity. If you will never verify your information then anyone is free to tell you anything they want without concern for precision, accuracy, or reality.

[@tildessmoo]

Dang, now I want some horchata. I live across the street from a place that sells it, but it's also just shy of 5AM right now, so... Yeah. You're making me wonder if the UK kind of mixes up all Latin food with Spain. Like, my neighborhood is great, there's a Guatemalan place down the street, a Mexican place a bit farther, a tex-mex place across the street, an Ecuadoran place a couple blocks away, and a Guatemalan fried chicken place across the street from my house (the one that's super-convenient for horchata). Do people in the UK think I just said there's a whole bunch of similar restaurants in my neighborhood, and it's all basically what Jaime made? Or so they realize that at least some of that is different?

[@Endquire]

@@tildessmoo do they have employees or owners from those countries? My partner was previously married to someone from the Netherlands and they would go to visit. She told me that they would get "Chinese" food that was actually Indonesian because of Dutch colonialism but they call it Chinese food apparently. Sometimes you get white people obsessed with a certain non-white cuisine which can be good or bad, or a huge toxic problem. When they care enough to really learn, understand, and respect the food and culture then it is good. When it just amounts to orientalism or otherwise trivializing a culture as a novelty, then it is toxic and bad. Sometimes it is like "discovering" acai and quinoa where white people go in and commoditize a staple food of indigenous people which makes it no longer an affordable staple food. Sort of like how in ireland and india there were famines but britain was still exporting commodities. It makes me wonder how those African famines actually work.

[@tildessmoo]

@@Endquire The fried chicken place is a chain that advertises itself as Guatemalan, but all the other places are small places that are probably only run by the owners' families plus one or two additional employees. I'm not 100% certain that they're all run by people of the ethnicity the restaurants claim to be, but considering this is the US where the only one likely to be familiar to a broad customer base is Mexican, and I live on the edge of a neighborhood mostly inhabited by Guatemalan and Ecuadoran immigrants, and I don't speak Spanish so I can't really ask them (there's enough people here who speak some English for us to do basic business, but it seems impolite to ask about their ethnicity when we can barely hold a conversation)... All that together, I'm inclined to believe each place is run by people of the ethnicity they claim. There may be locations of the chicken place that have mostly Mexican employees or something, but I think the owners are Guatemalan, and in this neighborhood the employees probably are as well. So, yeah, pretty sure there's no cultural appropriation or cultural erasure in this case.

[@Endquire]

@@tildessmoo as I understand it, if you see people of that culture eating in a place it is probably good. So if you have a local community that supports a place I would expect it's trustworthy. A chain is the same deal because when I saw Jollibee, it was full of happy Asian families on a Friday evening. I can't recall ever seeing that in another fast food place. Maybe Culver's.

At this point I’m convinced that Jamie’s research consists of looking at a photo of a certain kind of cuisine and then trying to recreate it just based on what he can identify and making up the rest lol

[@VermilionRays]

I wish Jamie would just say "tex-mex inspired". Like you said, I have no doubt this would taste great. I'm American/Mex/bori🇵🇷 and I agree with all your spice choices! Also, he uses lime and cilantro for every "Asian" dish he makes but can't even use it for tex mex 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Omg such a good point! lol

[@jamiefrontiera1671]

the one time he was supposed to use cilantro, is the one time he doesn't. its like that one dish he didn't use olive oil, that he was supposed to use olive oil. 🤣

[@nicolasstanco6368]

Good morning Brian... I saw tacos and got excited.

[@Frank1e.b0i]

Hi Brian, thanks for the love! Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico (:

[@Destin5258]

I will never get tired of you shitting on Jamie Oliver, with or without Uncle Roger, with or without Frenchie, its always fun

[@RummerChan]

I swear Jamie Oliver just looks at a picture of food, assumes everything that's in it, then makes a recipe trying to pass off what he THINKS that dish is, without ever looking at what's actually in it.

[@dannyhernandez1212]

Look up his huevos ranchero dish. It's straight nonsense.

[@agunemon]

He could just say "delicious tortilla wrap dinner fast and easy!" And no one would bat an eye!

[@Michael_Brock]

Jamie makes SE Asian egg fried chicken rice. Alternatives substitute olive oil as cooking oil. Use a deep saucepan instead of wok or fry pan. Switch chicken for whale meat. Swap eggs with caviar. Change rice to pasta. Drop sesame oil for corn oil. Change both soy sauce for marinara and bolognese. Remove all Asian spices for any spice/herb he can find on another continent, say rosemary, sage, basil and 50 others I've never heard of. Remove the mirin and use champagne instead. Now when done transfer to a baking tray and cook at 250° c in the oven for 2 hours. Must not forget use sweetcorn, mashed potatoes and catus purée as mirepoix.

[@Aarenby]

You can get Chipotle in the uk but most people aren't going to use it enough to warrant buying it.

[@peterflom6878]

Corn that's been sitting around, shucked, is mostly ruined. You want to shuck it at the last minute, or even after cooking it (i sometimes microwave it, it comes out quite tasty)

[@grinsikleinpo7]

Hi chef Tsao, please remember he is a Britt. He is always using Olive Oil for everything like fried rice with egg. The last thing i want to see with Lamie Olive Oil is Northern Germany kitchen like Matjes or "Mettbrötchen". We never will use Olive oil for nothern german kitchen. oh and don't forget Chilly Jam in fried rice with egg.

[@AlanomalyOfficial]

14:36 To be fair, he's not putting Greek yogurt on Tex-Mex. He's putting Greek yogurt on whatever the hell this dish actually is.

[@curlzferrero1]

English person here - while Greek, Spanish, and Italian food and restaurants are really common and popular in the UK, Tex-Mex and Mexican food in general is extremely rare! We do have the flavour sachets that you can put on meat/potatoes/onions and peppers before putting in the oven, but I would say that outside of Tortilla kits, we don't know really experience authentic Mexican/Tex-Mex food. I certainly don't know what chipotle powder is! Jamie's definitely pulling from Mediterranean cuisine here and no one in the UK will know enough to call him on it.

[@CookingwithStephennJacklyn]

In the words of Uncle Roger "where the CUMIN...Where CUMIN" 😂😂..Well that's Jamie Oliver for ya always of track 😂😂. Good video bro. Cheers!

[@B14ckm00n]

Jamie didn't bother to warm up the tortilla. Not warming up the tortilla is one of the biggest Mexican cuisine sins one can commit.

[@pithechaosstar2908]

Hey man, random suggestion: Ever think about doing something like a tier list or a tournament of worst/best dishes from chefs... or "chefs"... on KZbin? Just throwing it out there because I think the switch up would be good for the algorithm and might land you on recommended spots you don't normally reach. I dig your content and it'd be awesome to see you blow up more (I also advised other content creators professionally in the past but this is my alt so I stay low key lol). Take it or leave it if you want, but it's easy content to make entertaining and it's not too far of a departure from what you already do. There aren't enough people on KZbin with distinct personalities which is why I dig your content. Keep on pushing!

[@acatnamedm4529]

Cumin, chili powder, garlic, lime for chicken. Tomato, jalapeno, chedder cheese, cilantro, queso fresco. I admit, I've subbed greek yogurt when I didn't have queso fresco at home, but never for a presentation uploaded to the internet.

[@msjkramey]

Cumin and cilantro are the best part of Tex-Mex/Mexican food and they were nowhere to be seen. I remember cooking at home before I knew you could find recipes online and "discovering" that cumin was the flavor I was missing all along. Wow, the difference one spice can make!

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Cumin is absolutely amazing

[@msjkramey]

@@ChefBrianTsao absolutely! I forgot to say how much I love pico de gallo/salsa, too. Homemade is so much better but store bought will do in a pinch. With pico, lots of stores will add cucumber to it (as a filler?) and it just throws the whole thing off to me, so I like to put on some music or a video and just dice until my fingers are sore and I have a huge batch lol. I can eat that with a spoon fr

[@TeleologicalConsistency]

"Organized Chaos" isn't a very appetizing description for one's cooking.

[@bscar]

Video idea: Between Olive Oil here and the British cooking shows in general, American and Asian chefs should start making British dishes by substituting things like they do. For fish and chips you start by using baked chicken instead fried fish and onion rings instead of fries/chips- or maybe even actual bagged potato chips/crisps. For bangers and mash you start with shredded beef instead of sausage and for the mash, you use grits. And serve with some celery or carrots instead of peas. Toad in the hole you take chicken instead of sausage and Jello pudding batter instead of Yorkshire pudding batter. Steak and kidney pie, you get some chicken gizzards instead of kidneys, chicken instead of beef and potatoes instead of onions.

[@forty_two42]

Everyone I know with a primarily texmex diet just uses Sazon for everything. That's just Cumin and MSG. And maybe also garlic. I don't remember and I'm not in my kitchen rn.

[@whosml]

8:01 Hey Brian, how's it going? Excellent job, Thanks for the upload! I hope, I don't sound annoying, So, picture this: I'm getting really hungry while watching your video, getting all set to cook some homemade "Mexican Fried Rice". And then, I heard what you mentioned about tortillas. I had to hit pause, couldn't help but react with "ooh hell nooo!" Now, as a Mexican, I feel obligated to point out that there is only thing that beats a "white tortilla" (Asume you mean Flour Tortillas) and that is a Corn Tortillas, Corn Tortillas are the real Mexican deal, But I totally get that in the context of Tex-Mex food, is the way to go (In Texas and most of the USA, Flour Totilla is what most of the NON Mexican people only know though) Don't get me wrong, Flour tortillas are really good too, But In our Mexican opinion, they're just a close second to Corn Tortillas. Keep up the great content! Looking forward for more videos, hope everybody have a great day!!

[@ruatnec66]

Love that killswitch poster. ❤❤

[@TheTowateke]

We absolutely have chipotle powder/flakes here in the UK, Jamie just doesn't care, and probably overrules his staff on ingredients because he became famous at a young age and so became enormously arrogant.

[@koosh138]

Mexican food typically already has great macros compared to other cuisines. He didn't even need to try to make it "healthy."

[@jimbeauxdin]

OMG! My ancestors are crying! Try Iguana Joe's outside of Houston. The best I've ever tasted. It's Slap Ya Mama good!

[@joshuamiller9853]

In Tex-mex you have two options for tortillas, corn or flower. Whole wheat is fine for a wrap, but that’s not what this was supposed to be.

[@enlightendbel]

I missed this one and now I know that on top of no butter in butter chicken, no green in green curry, no red in red curry, no ramen in ramen noodles, no lasagna in lasagna and absolute abomination of egg fried rice, we can add not a single texmex ingredient in a texmex dish.

[@SquagelZ]

I’ve been cooking my corn cob in the oven while still in its husk for years and it’s the best tasting corn I’ve ever had, no salt or butter needed, but nice extra. I can’t imagine cooking them any different.

[@Judgement_Kazzy]

Biggest pet-peeve in cooking shows is when they try to "healthify" inherently fatty, rich foods. It's just forcing a square peg into a round hole until you just have a shittier square with mangled corners.

[@shantbanis6358]

Re watching and realized that I missed this set up and intro

[@Phoneybeetlemaniacxs]

I’m From the U.K. but it’s like refried beans a big thing in Tex mex especially in the tortillas. How shoot more spices

[@Apillis124]

Oliver obviously has never had freshly made out of the oven Mexican flour tortillas, there's nothing like it, especially quick crisped off of a burner of a gas stove--it's fv

[@BanglasiaCintaSamaKamu]

As a asian, i personally like all jamie oliver recipe. It look fantastic & delicious.

[@nilianstroy]

Chef Brian , there's not a single spice we can't get in the UK, there are Mexican restaurants within a 5 minutes drive from where he lives or where his restaurants used to be... Also he had a restaurant literally in Chinatown lol

[@ThatCapnGeech]

Greek yogurt can be subbed for sour cream in a home kitchen in a pinch but it leads to the sads

[@moonlitkitsune7638]

Imo I love flour tortillas but there is something endearing when using corn tortillas that you fry up yourself. ❤

[@TonyDiCroce]

Chop up boneless thighs.. mix with taco seasoning, sliced onions, sliced peppers.. bake it. Eat in tortillas with cheese + sour cream + guac. Actual tex mex super easy family dinner.

[@Glassofass]

The only british chef I really trust with making authentic dishes is Ainsley. His bbq bible series is a fantastic watch too!

[@ysabelcook9521]

Gordon Ramsay? Heston Blumenthal? Rick Stein? Marcus Wareing? Michel Roux Jnr? Asma Khan? The Hairy Bikers? Madhur Jaffrey? Ching He Huang? Tom Kerridge? Robert Irvine? Nadiya Hussein? Thomasina Miers? Yotam Ottalenghi? Atul Kochhar? no? none of these? (i could list many many more but here's a start) now when we say British chefs? are we talking about people born in the uk? or that are famous chefs that became famous in the UK? with your implied Ainsley Harriott who is from Jamaica? I would suspect its chefs that are famous in and around the UK and famous because they are chefs in the UK etc, then yeah? all of those do authentic dishes :) if you haven't heard of them then maybe you should search them up, because they are fantastic chefs from the UK :)

[@rosefern1483]

Someone call Uncle Roger😂

[@charlesr.8159]

The only Mexican food I made is guacamole, and elotes from corn kernels in can, and I made a blunder with the guacamole by underestimating the potency of red onion. Next time, I'll either wash off the strong onion flavor, or use white onion, which is milder. I usually mix tomato and red onion with salted egg. Using avocado instead of salted egg makes it guacamole. I just realized the chunky guacamole is the American style.

[@annec781]

Depends, some locations in the US do smooth guac. I prefer chunky, avocado (mashed a little), tomato, onion, a little jalapeno (optional), a little lime juice to keep it from turning brown…

[@mysticcrisis752]

Atp I find it hard to believe Jamie is a professional chef, he gives me above average home chef vibes

[@sarathigoswami7533]

In India we have Lenskart for shopping eyeglasses with the same features

[@IrishBrotato]

New title: Jamie Oliver makes mystery dish

[@YoKnow]

Never leave the corn hole! That is a golden rule!

[@studiokadaver]

When I think Mexican I don’t even think flour tortillas I think corn (maíz)

[@Bloodbound89]

xD from the intro that looked more like some sort of greek gyros pita dish :D

[@mss_01]

Brian really out here having an uncle Roger moment on this one

[@renzo908]

By using yogurt, makes me think Jamie OliveOil thinks Mexico is in the Middle East lol 😆 😅 This could have been called Mediterranean food video 😅

[@ZnotQ633]

Today Guga dropped a video where he and Uncle Roger watch Jamie Oliver cook a steak. Impressed they were not.

[@shredenvain7]

When I think of Tex Mex I think of smokey/savory meats, mild heat, slight sweetness, Tang and lots of cheese!!! Instead of yogurt a cilantro lime sour cream would be the way to go.

[@csurampower]

So to make a Tex-Mex sauce, I mix paprika into some red wine vinaigrette salad dressing. Huh. That approach never crossed my mind.

[@sagethegreat4680]

Ok I would do this exact same dish. Dump the Greek yogurt ( you don't even need sour cream ) add 2 things far healthier and would taste better and be tex - mex . Everything he did was fine but before you cook the chicken add hatch Chiles to the chicken amazing flavor not real hot. Then at the end instead of sour cream put Pico ( tomato , onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice , and salt )

[@kazehana877]

If it is Jamie Oliver and he’s not making your ancestors cry, he’s not doing his job

[@katcalico9142]

Jamie is making my Texas ancestors cry.
