Obsessives - Offal

[@slimgrowden]

I come from a family of hunters my Grandfather is Irish! And my other Grandparents lived through the Great Depression so as a boy it was instilled in me as I began hunting you kill it you eat it the animals we harvested payed the ultimate price their for we will respect it life by not allowing anything go to waste! We eat it all and the organs were always first! Most of my friends wouldn’t come hunting with my family because of the way we handle are harvested animals! Except one of my best friends and he is Native American he was the only one that truly understood what it is all about! Love the video Chris keep spreading the good word because most are so blind to what is out there and what is being wasted! From the State of Washington Scotty the tongue eater! One of my favorite cuts of all! People don’t no what they are missing! Cheers 🍻

[@88blackandwhite88]

I don't love the Chris Cosentino vocabulary, but I love the philosophy. Well said!

[@DjWuzHear]

preach the truth!!

[@SlowJoman]

This guy knows his stuff

[@TheBooga1234]

he's my cousin

[@Wwdancwe690]

me too

[@brandonpringle16]

i have alot of respect for this guy

[@amjyt742]

This was great

[@milliepot]

i live in the Philippines and we eat stuff with offal in them occasionally. Not bad.

[@lizziepooh]

Because only southern California has that requirement, everywhere else is pretty much up to the restaurant.

[@alelobrijelo]

i want to eat that heart tartare !!

[@kg6ojl]

T-Bones and Tenderloins are in the middle, not on the end, but I see your point.

[@Hadueken]

Great guy, use all of what you kill no doubt

[@TheCraig5150]

Worked with him and was totally impressed with him then way back in 1993!!

[@Zetto129]

I agree. It's not sin to eat meat. The sin is to waste food.

[@freak8385]

Chris as an Italian-American knows this pretty well, since in all europe they show u to eat everything. I live in Latin america, my dad is from Spain and has showed me that we have to eat everything at least once. And yes I know some stuff I wouldn`t eat, not because I don`t want to but because some people don`t know how to prepare it, I went to eat at "Incanto", And it was a meal I will never forget :). We have eat different stuff millions of years, why the change now? :D

[@demelumuche-okoye4853]

Where are you based

[@Madness1236]

Great video. Well done!

[@SlowJoman]

His chef whites were sponsored by Red Bull

[@kathybigfoot]

i love chef chris' passion!

[@FrancoisBothaZA]

What's the difference between offal and tripe?

[@RataStuey]

Francois Botha tripe is a type of offal

[@DaveMorrisonMusic]

Yum ! Raw lamb heart. God bless you for using the whole animal, but I think I'm gonna stick with sausage.

[@snotrat2]

His philosophy is sound though .

[@tickyul]

Offal is not awful foo!

[@HeidiChiao]

I love the way how he says how we are in disconnect with the way we regard animals and the way we think we need to eat certain parts of the animal only. Our education of the various cuts of meat of an animal, and the concept that if we kill an animal, we eat ALL of it, is essential. No waste of an animal when it is killed is more humane.

[@mysguidedangel]

looks sooooo good ^^

[@church132]

i like this guy, and well hell, i'll try just about anything once

[@swankswag]

I appreciate this guy givin props to the South because we still eat offal. As well, it is a cultural thing. Being black and in the South I grew up eating lots of offal. I hope everyone can enjoy these delicacies!

[@felixcruzazul]

[@gamemeister27]

Organs are important for preventing nutrient deficiencies. For example, a man that was stuck on a life raft for several months only had access to fish that he caught for food. As many essential vitamins were missing in the part of the fish we generally consider edible, he began to develop multiple deficiencies. However, he began to crave the eyes, the skin, and the liver of the fish. Little did he know, these odd parts of the fish had the nutrients he needed!

[@SethHesio]

Factory farming is the worst thing to happen to animals. The trick is not out and out vegetarianism but really making sure everyone is educated about exactly where their meat and poultry comes from.

[@turquoiseshopaholic]

A New Take On Animal Organs

[@SethHesio]

Fergus Henderson has been championing this style of cooking for like 15 years. This guy owes a lot to Fergus. Also the thing about meat, we should only eat the best we can afford. If you saw the way a pig is not only kept, but how they are born. If it's not free range (and most pork eaten in the USA and the UK isn't) then the sows that produce the piglets basically live their life in a cramped cage they can't walk. Buy free range or don't but it at all.

[@teokiatuan2]

[@xxmightyonexx]

The word rebellious in my comment was not used to describe cursing.

[@no2religions]

I'm looking here on KZbin to find out how to cook a pig spleen I just bought. There are NO pig spleen videos here, at least none in english. I'll have to remedy this.

[@michellemaesimplicio3412]

I have good memories of Tripe when I was a kid. We refer to it as "Tuwalya" which is towel in English because it's got the same feel and look as a towel. As a kid it was a fun experience for me because we get to kid ourselves to thinking that we are actually eating towels. Haha Here in the Philippines we have a dish called Kare Kare and it's basically tripe and other Offal parts in peanut sauce and vegetables. You dip it in "bagoong" which is fermented fish, very similar to anchovies. YUM. Peasant food at it's finest.

[@bozhisee]

o.O i am a singaporean and i have not had the wine he mentioned XD

[@bonzaibb12]

Try ethnic markets . Other countries really enjoy these parts of animals. I would start with Asian and Eastern European markets and then try any others you have in your area

[@SethHesio]

Rose Veal is ok though.

[@blueslaad]

I live in Madrid where offal is part of the cuisine. Love the stuff. And now, having watched this smashing video, I'm convinced I need to do a food pilgrimage to Chef Cosentino's restaurant. EAT MORE OFFAL!

[@lightbox617]

Starting on the third of three months living in Budapest, Hu. The Central Market and a market closer to where I live has almost no evidence of styrafoam, You need to bring your own bags. Produce comes from within 100 miles. Lots of animal livers, hearts, necks, tails and heads (fish especially). At this time of year, you get root vegetables, not much greenery. I could get canned vegetables if I wanted to but I'd rather have pickles made on the premises

[@AntMixFilms]

woops! Meant meat.

[@tarnishedmercury]

I'm a vegetarian and i approve of this video

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

He's not trying to be "rebellious". That's not the point of swearing unless you're in 8th grade. The point of swearing is to express emotion.

[@damarei]

As a Mexican, I've eaten my fair share of guts in Menudo, but I will abso-freaking-lutely refuse to eat home-made menudo that has not been cleaned properly. I was at a friend's house and his nasty ass grandmother made some dirty menudo, and I told her "you think food smelling like shit is normal? I'm not eating that."

[@Quangsan]

Nowadays in developed societies, people are getting more and more difficult in their food choice; I say they should be more open minded in what's out there in the world and stop relying on common fast food. I personally love eating different kinds of food as long as they don't poison you or kill you. Pig tongue with caramel sauce and cinnamon has a rich flavor and I absolutely love it.

[@ReikoNemo]

Wow, I just realized that I met this guy...

[@rejectofthemoon]

pig isn't poultry...

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

@xxmightyonexx He's just being loose and expressing emotion, not being "edgy". Curses are just words.

[@xraycortina]

1. Salad of duck or poultry gizzards with walnuts & walnut oil & some interesting lettuce. 2. Beef kidneys with paprika sauce. 3. Liver & bacon. But not tripe, that's just icky.

[@damarei]

lol, why is he wearing a Red Bull shirt?

[@TFrills]

Damn I want to try some of that really badly

[@joelthurner3682]

offal still gets used,.. for dog food

[@carlhopkinson]

Hey, Jack-a-mo. There is a reason why Offal is widely-considered to be awful.

[@xxmightyonexx]

I was going to respond, but I was too busy having a life.

[@droma51090]

lol "if your willing to kill it you should shut the fuck up and be willing to eat all of it"

[@carlhopkinson]

This is the kind of jerk I would like to meet in a dark alley.

[@rob89ert]

We eat tongue, intestine, kidneys, livers, gizzards, ears, feet, and all that good stuff in Korea/Japan. Mmm

[@acronymcx]

try to watch with interactive transcript :)

[@JuniperJupiter]

"Sweetbreads" is so misleading...I'm expecting a flippin' doughnut. :D

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Some Hipsters are good at marketing. You got to hand it a him. He takes a cheap poor man's food and turns around and remarkets it to pretentious elitists at a massive mark up and profit.

[@urbaneyes2535]

+goldsilverandiamonds Is it "hipster" to want to eat every part of the animal that can be eaten? It's more hipster to poo-poo parts of the animal that your parents didn't make you eat. In fact, it's not hipster at all to like meat, hipsters are vegetarians/vegans.

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Jerky Bogis Do you even know what the word means? And eating meat and different types of foods is very hipster. Being a Vegan or vegetarian is not hipster at all it's a sign of mental illness and irrational thinking.

[@urbaneyes2535]

goldsilverandiamonds How is eating different types of food "hipster?" (Different is also very subjective, since people in NYC probably have quite different diets to what urban Japanese eat.) I guarantee you I'm more familiar with hipster trends than you are, I lived in Williamsburg Brooklyn, Hipster capitol of the East Coast before they had a Starbucks. It is not "hipster" to consume all parts of the animal, it is actually 'Traditional.' The parts of the animal that you throw your nose up at are the parts that are most nutritious and are part of every culture's cuisine before companies like General-Mills and Nabisco convinced you that there is something wrong with them. By your logic, my 67 year old grandmother is a hipster for beheading her own poultry and preparing fresh gizzards or chicken hearts. My 40-something year old aunt is definitely a hipster too because she ferments her own sauerkraut. Only infants and the uncultured are picky eaters. You're just an ignoramus and you don't respect culinary tradition. The fault lies with YOU, not with people who wish to consume offal. I hope that you grow up one day and your palette develops, because there's a whole world of food out there your toddler tongue is missing out on. I would recommend looking up organizations like Weston A. Price Foundation so you can educate yourself about traditional foods and let go of this silly, sophomoric belief that choosing the foods people have been eating for several thousand years is in any way "hipster."

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Jerky Bogis I must have hurt the closeted hipsters feelings with my honest and truthful comment. I know you entitled and privileged snot nose millennials think the whole world revolves around you and you moronic opinions. Sorry I don't give a shit what you think or that you are too fucking stupid to understand the word hipster or my comment. Little pea brained morons like you have a tough time dealing with reality. Probably because of your entitlement and privilege. Not to mention a life long and constant hand holding and telling you that your so special and important from your Mommy and Daddy. Sorry, again you're not. You are a moron who lacks the ability to understand a simple comment written with common words. Maybe before you open your pie-hole you should understand what you're talking about before making an ass out of yourself. Do us both a favor and please just shut up, you're an embarrassment and a waste of time.

[@urbaneyes2535]

goldsilverandiamonds Who is a hipster lul? I'm not a Millennial lol, I'm Gen Y. :D The hallmark of a failing argument is when someone does what you're doing now - they start offending the person who doesn't agree with them. Let's say I AM a hipster and a Millennial. So what? What are you going to do about it, with your unrefined palette? Your opinion is beneath me, go back to eating McDonalds, peon.

[@xxmightyonexx]

Meh, other vids by him don't have it. And we aren't working in a kitchen (if that was a legit reason), the audience is just hopefully getting an understanding of offal and specifically being asked to see it in an intellectual -- NOT emotional -- light.

[@gazebo46]

You know, when Cosentino put on those glasses and that white work clothes, I couldn't recognize him as the same guy who is giving this awesome lecture on offal. He has interesting opinions.

[@AntMixFilms]

I don't like pigs except for bacon. Whenever I eat pig's feet, I get nauseous and have this weird after taste. I like other poultry but pig is just the worst. I may have an allergic reaction to it or something.

[@xxgo0kst3rxx]

@Francis Botha there isnt a diffence they are offal in general...tripe in the inner lining of a cows stomach...and most of the offal seen here is from a pig

[@anticliche321]

Haha I love his passion! "here that.. bring in that camera ruin that lens" I can't eat meat it makes me sick.. most food does. :( but listening to someone talk about it with such passion is refreshing.

[@EmB7CG]

HAH! He lives in the same building as I do.

[@bebopsbaby1]

Offal can be stong tasting,but its not that bad, unless someone doesnt know what they are doing. i grew up on hog lites(lungs,spleen,and heart i believe).I cook cow tongue, beef feet,chicken feet.want to try beef heart ,kidneys.people in many cultures have been cooking offal for centuries and it fell out of favor with a few folks. the sad thing is once a certain food becomes "hip" to eat, it will go the way of pork belly(which is fatback),catfish,chitterlings,hamhocks, chicken wings; which was the "food of the poor" will suddenly jump up in price and one more stomach filler will be expensive for the below average income earner.

[@Orangemonth]

hahaha

[@xxgo0kst3rxx]

does anyone maybe recall a video he did on congee with pork blood foam? his method for pastuerizing and how long he had it in the immersion circulator?

[@UrbanRadiation]

You ever work in a kitchen? That language is just acquired i'm sure he means very little by it.

[@elektrums]

Question: I want to find and prepare spleen for my sister who has anemia - any ideas? Loved your video. Thanks.

[@gamemeister27]

I recognize him from "best thing I ever ate" on food network. For the meat episode, and the bacon episode, other chefs totally mentioned his place as the best.

[@AngelusDlion]

Actually, you're both right. They're not sure exactly where it's from so they're all right.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

Blood oranges with blood and chocolate. :)

[@TheColourAwesomer]

Like I give a fuck.

[@edwardrichardson8254]

He's a city boy talking - every last bit has always been used, WTH does he think his dogs and cats eat? Secondly, I love hearts, boudin/ w/ intestine sac/gizzards/liver, etc, but not everyone is up for their house smelling like a cow just took a piss in it (kidneys) when cooking. Also, given how expensive many of these cuts are now THANKS TO THE SUCCESS OF CELEBRITY CHEFS LIKE HIM, they're liable to go for ribeye than the $25 tongue.

[@audas]

FUCKING AWESOME DUDE !!! Wow, totally over your shit ! Get some dumplings happening, Tripe, Eyes, and MORE LIVER !!!! Well, at least Roe Liver...

[@mattmallecoccio8378]

to make a statement to PETA pockets, I will quote Pink Floyd: "If you don't eat your meat, how can you have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" I will also say, "How about all those plants you commit violence to and all the plants you murder?"

[@eduardo_him46]

it doesn't make sense to just eat the muscle part of a cow pig chicken etc... its really wasteful if you think about it... some offal is really nasty tasting but some cuts aren't THAT bad. and its cheap ^

[@mikelzthing]

This man is my hero. I also want to know how makes the chocolate blood.

[@TheMatt455]

i think its stupid when they do that, the lady is just gonna go buy another coat, thus increasing the problem.

[@Mokkari77]

COKED OUT Hipster CHef ,,,iF you to eat Offal Tripe food , go to a CHinese or Mexican restaurant , rather than pay $70 at this Hipster restaurant for that price go get Filet Mignon rather than Yuppy Offal Tripe in Basic Italian Red or White sauce

[@vh2337]

I don't think it's that people don't give a shit anymore, most people today are unaware the farm to table process and what that means, could be on a tight budget or both. Also, don't forget social conditioning which plays a huge part in the dining process today. The media (TV) are a very persuasive medium in telling people what to think. Advertising also is extremely successful in shaping peoples behavior and minds. We have a generation or two of people who 'take in' whatever garbage is thrown at them instead of thinking.

[@dukerourschach7427]

After reading My comment I don't know what the Hell went on that day to make such a critical statement I don't remember commenting but Man I came off as a complete Jerk! Whatever set me off I don't know but I Apologize for the rude tone I really tore into that guy when I should have praised Him for standing out to be unique!

[@MrReaper5]

Why is it stupid? He is just saying he is ok eating most things if they are clean. There is nothing dumb about that.

[@Kabhaq]

Come, stop your crying. It'l be alright.

[@C4isTNT]

i would like to go to a store buy 10 pounds of chicken skin fry it wit bacon and eat it until i cant

[@andosmate]

I would be sad if i was a pig knowing id be turned into such ugly dated food.

[@nikulaus]

it is far from impossible when cooking for a camera :) most german cooks that appear on tv don't wear the proper headdress either.

[@xxmightyonexx]

Some of the intelligence of this argument is lost in the crude language, and it's ironic because he wants people to be more open-minded as well as being aware of how immature attitudes loose the whole point of his art. So, I support this guy & hear what he's saying, but this trend of American chefs thinking that cursing gives them cred is getting lame. It's OK to give food respect & elegance, at the same time that you're being "rebellious" - just like Cosentino wants (and achieves) for Offal.

[@Mokkari77]

Overcharged Hipster Offal food , if your really about the Offal why overcharge for the stuff thats thrown away ,,,, really?? got to Chinatown or Mission ,, no this Overpriced Offal hipster , restaurant

[@Arcamea]

Exactly, asian cultures have been cooking "offal" long before this hipster fad got popular. Just go to a Chinese dimsum for lunch, lots of offal right there. Asian cultures have been doing it for decades, no one cares. One white guys does it and now everyone seems to like it.

[@areujokingme]

Aaron Mah Um, every culture ever has been using offal for decades, in one way or another. It just hasn't been very favored these days, or at least making the use of offal explicit hasn't been favored. People would rather remain ignorant, generally.

[@snotrat2]

I think he's had a little bump of coke. Look at his jaw.

[@finnmccool5272]

Starving would be preferable

[@carlhopkinson]

I think this guy is insane. His sentences are nonsense.

It still looks offal to me. You eat mr hipster chef🤢
