[@joshuatempleton9556]

there is a type of breakfast sausage where they put candied fruit, the kind you see in fruit cakes. it is actually really good. every butchershop in every town i have lived in has had it. a Bavarian place in colorado springs had it on the menu. that is probably what they are assuming is in those sausages.

[@rainycakes]

OMG so I saw on reddit in a non-food thread where someone mentioned that they went to a potluck and someone brought brownies and said they were safe for people with nut allergies and people tried them and were like....???? what's this texture though, and she said she used COOKED GROUND BEEF IN PLACE OF NUTS TO REPLICATE THE TEXTURE. edited to add: wow LMAO the "baked beans on pizza" guy is super funny to watch, would enjoy more of him in these sorts of reaction videos haha

[@GardevoirBoy]

As much as I love fusion food, I know that there are times where food combinations do not work. These food combinations were the poorly executed of the bunch. When things end up too weird for their own good, you know you messed up. These combinations really want to make you to go, "What the stink!"

Perhaps professional chefs should be held to higher standards. Or perhaps, like every other person in possession of a belly button, they may sometimes enjoy unusual food pairings. I like white chocolate with wasabi peas, but I'm probably alone in that quirk.

I use to eat dried noodles during my childhood (during school break) as it was quick and cheaply available (waiwai),it wasn't white & tasted little salty on its dried state + had little packed of onion fused oil/ chilies powder/ some kind of dried mixed meant to be mixed when cooked in boiled water. We also had one with white variant called rara but its was tough to eat it raw as it had no tastless unlike waiwai and only came with powdered mix but it was nice when cooked.

Kay is like your nice nan who tries her hardest to make good food and you don't want to tell her it's bad because you know you'll break her heart

To be fair. That was my nan. Well, aside from not telling her, because it's more of a running joke in our family, but it's a family that makes fun of each other and not in a meanspirited way. But say if we visited in the summer we'd make a comment like "looks like time to put the cabbage on in time for Christmas dinner", because she'd boil all of the flavour out of it.

I will speak in defense of Kay's Cooking on this one. I discovered pasta & baked beans as a combo when I was a student, and it actually tastes quite nice. If you want a cheap & easy meal, there's nothing wrong with it, because you can find them both very cheaply. Baked beans & rice is another that works. We already know Pasta + tomato + cheese goes, so it's not a big jump.

[@lollipop9985]

Pasta with beans is actually a dish where I come from, with mozzarella and a very small touch of tomato sauce and onion

[@chimutt]

[@datwistyman]

Yeah hey if you like bb's this would be good.

[@theleagueofsupermushrooms5323]

I used to eat baked beans, rice and cheese all the time as a kid or when I was going through a rough patch mentally. It was easy to make, oddly comforting and filling.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

My mum was diabetic and baked beans was on the list of approved foods as a healthy balanced meal. Obviously it depends on how much sugar is in the brand but most are pretty low in sugar. l often have Baked Beans on toast when l'm too sore or tired to cook. l especially like hot, buttery, crispy toast but, l see no reason for it not to be good with rice or pasta too, especially with cheese on top. When l was a child, if we'd been good, our mum would make us 'cowboy food' as a treat - Baked Beans with fried potatoes or toast and/or sausages on the side - it wasn't til l became a mum that l realised we'd been had, and it was just that she wanted a night off from cooking a 'proper' meal. 😊

[@wereid1978]

The beans and pasta dish is the most edible thing I have seen Kate make. Still weird but better than crunchy rice and burnt garlic.

[@Sum124C]

Would love to see you react to more of B. Dylan Hollis' videos. That baked been pizza really didn't sound good but I like his presentation style. I sort of remember watching that season of Hell's Kitchen with that particular chef and if I recall he seemed to have an odd palate, and for one of his dishes he said it was an acquired taste, to which Ramsey rightfully replied it wasn't worth acquiring.

[@gregbrown8881]

[@andreihb]

I like Dylan’s videos. Strange combinations, comical commentary and brutally honest reviews. I remember having something like that which Kay made, when I was young in Brazil. It was spaghetti, black beans and collard greens. We called it Minestra. Also from Brazil, we have banana pizza, but it’s a desert type of pizza. It’s sliced bananas, sweet condensed milk, sprinkle of cinnamon and mozzarella. Thanks for the extra upload. Extra content from you is always welcome Chef James.

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

yea

[@Shabbymannen]

As a Swede I'm gonna have to stick up for banana pizza. Vincenzo also reviewed odd pizza combinations and had a reaction similar to yours when it came to our beloved banana pizza. Here is the thing... It almost always comes with curry. A generous amount of good quality yellow curry powder is sprinkled on top of the cheese. The curry mixes with the cheese as it melts, the oils and the tomato sauce, and creates a makeshift curry sauce in situ. The fruity sweetness of the bananas complements this curry very very well. Preferably you go with a protein that has some saltiness to it, like cured/smoked ham, salami or shrimp, to cut the sweetness back a bit. It is delicious, and the reactions of the people who tried it in the video are representative of when first timers try it - a pleasant surprise. It not just "not as bad as you thought", it's actually really really good. Most people familiar with the combination of sweetness with curry will understand, but most people who aren't will be suspicious before trying it. I also like a curry lamb stew with apples. When cooked the apples are sweet and soft and complement the curry very well. Same idea. Now, the banana curry pizza is the most common variation, but sometimes it comes without curry, a lot of the time with chicken and nuts on the pizza. That's a completely different beast, it's a pizza adaption of the flavor profile of a Swedish dish called Flygande Jacob ("Flying Jacob") that is truly odd, and I wouldn't expect people outside of Sweden to appreciate it. The banana/curry pizza however, is genius.

[@Fatamorgana420]

I know you think your explanation is helping us understand why it may taste good - it's not. It's not helping at all. At. All.

[@Shabbymannen]

@@Fatamorgana420 Lol, sorry I tried my best. I guess it's like explaining color to a colorblind person if you're not familiar with the flavor combination, virtually impossible. Get yourself a curry with something sweet in it and you'll get it. Could be as simple as a chicken curry with some peeled and sliced apple in it, cooked until soft.

[@Patterner]

@@Fatamorgana420It helped me. ("it's a balanced universe after all" Mallory)

[@mykelevangelista6492]

Here in the UK (although I saw this in Lidl, so who knows how far this has spread) I saw pizza with figs and ricotta. Not my ideal combination. On a different note, I noticed today that there are some big brand name crisps that are Christmas pudding flavour. I don't think I'll be trying them, either. Not without a brandy sauce dip, anyway!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@wereid1978]

@Chrisamic Honestly, I would try Kay's but not Jamie's.

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

I would definitely try the banana pizza. I think that it’s fine to bastardize pizza so long as you don’t pretend that it’s at all authentic. I enjoy barbecued chicken pizza, and that’s not at all Italian. Of course, tomatoes aren’t native to Italy . . . Great video as always!

[@FabbrizioPlays]

I disrespect authenticity to traditional italian recipes on principle at this point. Italian foodies will look at their own neighbor's cooking and call it a bastardization of tradition. No one can agree on what "authentic" actually is, but everyone seems overwhelmingly convinced they're right. So I make them all mad on purpose. If your nonna wants to come after me, I'll wear my spoon-shaped bruise with pride.

[@twitch3111]

Italians put French fries and hot dogs on pizza. I don't think anyone can do anything worse.

[@elvickRULES]

Barbecue chicken pizza slaps. I like ham and pineapple. Taco pizza. Lots of neat pizzas. I probably wouldn’t try banana though. I just don’t see how it would mix well. Even the description they basically make it sound like taking a bite of pizza and then a banana.

[@MrBlaTi]

Some markers everyone including the pizza place is missing about banana on pizza; banana in savoury dishes is absolutely a thing. Gotta love thai spicy banana curry. But I do THINK (not know) they use "cooking bananas" so "plantain" instad of the usual banana. Banana on pizza should absolutely be fair game and knowing the flavour of cooked banana it should be a better match than pineapple or clementines

[@mikukumiku]

The bananas used in the pizza look like a type of banana we use in savory Philippine dishes that has a flavor and texture profile similar to a plantain. I could imagine it would almost taste like a sweet potato with a slight hint of acidity. Probably tastes better than it looks.:)

[@tntk3218]

My vote goes to the venison tartare, diver scallops, caviar, and white chocolate. Not only does it sound absolutely, completely, and incredibly disgusting, but there's a real risk of food-born illness (beyond the obvious throwing it back up). Ramsay was brave to even try it.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

very true!

[@PhycoKrusk]

I feel like a venison tartare could have potential. But I don't understand the white chocolate. Like, I can draw a line from the venison to the scallops and the caviar. It's not a very straight line, but I can draw it. White chocolate isn't even in the same book as those other ingredients, let alone on the same page. You can't just throw sweet and savory and expect it to work out; there's a dozen other characteristics from each ingredient to be considered when combining them. All else I can think of is that aliens have infiltrated our societies and are trying to destabilize us by mimicking the flavors of their Nana's casserole.

[@MatthiasPilz]

@@PhycoKrusk Just going out on a limb here, but I think he may have read a recipe somewhere that had shaved white truffle on venison, thought „truffles are chocolates, right?“ and thus combined the venison with white chocolate.

[@PhycoKrusk]

@@MatthiasPilz And he didn't try it before serving it?

[@Wehra96]

Tartare is perfectly safe when done properly anyway.

[@W0lfChaser1]

Whenever i watch those odd combinations, i can't help but think that they forget to use that part of the brain that usually tells you "Maybe using these two things togheter is a bad idea"

[@newgrl]

So... when I was a kid, speaking of accents, one of the most beloved chefs on television (PBS - Public Broadcasting Service) was Justin Wilson. Now Justin was a cook from down Louisiana way and he had that very very specific back-woods Louisiana accent. He was such a blast to watch on sick days at home. If you want to see him in all his non-measuring glory try, "Justin Wilson's Louisiana Cookin' 1982, Cracklin' Corn Break, Guinea Gumbo, Pea Casserole, most"

[@lollertoaster]

I wonder how crazy the chilli jam actually is in that recipe. I started using Gochujang lately and it's really sweet.

[@annek7262]

I was thinking along the same lines. Depending on the gochujang brand, it can be really sweet. And there is sweet chili sauce (which is sugar and chilis, almost exclusively in some recipes). I do add both of those things to some of my rice dishes. (Gochujang especially, since I think it's delicious). The idea of chili jam makes me curious and if I liked it, I could see adding it to my exceedingly not traditional fried rice dishes (especially since I tend to make kimchi fried rice, and will, in fact, be making that for lunch today.)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I think its the combination as well, the chili jam, silken tofu, water, and precooked rice that adds to his dish

[@OverAnalyst]

​@@ChefJamesMakinsonSilken alone is a sin there, just appalling. It'd be slimy, flavorless, all the worst of tofu. Now pressed x-firm tofu, sliced then seared to get a bit crispy, will add lovely texture & soak up all the flavor. (If a veg dish, bonus if you freeze & thaw it before pressing; creates mini-layers that give a "meatier" texture) Leave that silken stuff to be blended into dips/smoothies, cubed into miso soup, etc

[@TreantmonksTemple]

Uncle Roger made it and fed it to customers as Mei Mei, some of them liked it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3rEpmmAotWCbJo

[@OverAnalyst]

Oh god I forgot it was prepackaged. Could've hyped cold/leftover rice as budget friendly! Or use fresh, skip the frying & do _tamago gohan_ - then he could skip garlic w/o making us all sad.

[@TreantmonksTemple]

I would try baked beans and pasta, gummy bears in sausage, banana on pizza and chili jam in rice. I don't know if I would like them, but I would taste them. I don't even want to try a mushy watermelon pizza, dry ramen with PBJ, Oreo in pickle juice, or that white chocolate tartar.

[@hjorhrafn]

The worst one is the last one, if only because the guy was so sure of himself and used expensive ingredients. Baked bean pizza is right up there though. I'd at least try the banana/pepperoni pizza. A lot of the others are just slightly weird tastes or things you convince your drunk friends to try.

[@bohemiansusan2897]

Thanks!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

No, thank you!!! 🙂 it means a lot!!

[@dissident1337]

So the Swedish curry banana pizza is interesting, because when I had it it seemed the banana had moreso absorbed the flavor of the curry, so it ended up tasting more like small dallops of cream on the pizza than banana. It's an odd combination to be sure, but it does work pretty well.

[@GoodForYou4504]

The only weird combo I do, (and ate growing up) is apple pie topped with melted sharp cheddar cheese. If somehow apple pie comes up in a conversation I always enjoy asking if they serve it with cheddar. The difference in reactions always make for fun conversation! Basically, don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Great video Chef James!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Apple pie topped and a sharp cheddar interesting mix! that could work too!

[@GoodForYou4504]

@ChefJamesMakinson It's a regional thing I think. Fairly common in New England.

[@BuggingonBeeroids]

​@@GoodForYou4504apple pie was commonly cooked with cheese in it throughout England (not sure of the time period but definitely up to and during the Victorian era). England has a longer history with savoury baked goods than sweeter and I believe apple pie without cheese is likely an American invention that became the norm due to the more widespread access to sugars! Now people over here look at me like I've farted in an elevator if I suggest a bit of sharp cheddar! 😂

​@@ChefJamesMakinsonI can imagine it as a pizza dolce, basically a dessert pizza with banana & chocolate... Though I have to say one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten - and this was made by two actual born Italians btw - was what their pizzaria sold as 'pizza tropicana' and it was like hawaiian to the power of ten XD. Essentially a fruit pizza topped with pineapple, papaya, kiwi and banana (the latter used sparingly). And yes it had the standard savoury tomato base sauce and mozzarella and some thyme & oregano. And for some reason that went astonishingly well with the sweet fruit! Sometimes people get too uptight about the 'right' ingredients. It's only a culinary sin if it tastes like shit.

[@kaminagle591]

I read a kids' book once where the kitchen staff replaced the cream in Oreos with bologna (baloneos) and I judge my kids' school dining experience by that literary jibe at school meals.

[@igeekling]

In defence of the banana pizza. Sweden's very long way away from where bananas are grown. So it was a very exotic fruit few really knew how to use back in the days before cheap mass air travel and ofcourse the internet. So back in those days a dish throwing all sorts of exotic ingredients together, to show off how worldly you were using these strange new arrivals, became the dish to serve at parties. Flygande jakob, a casserole type dish featuring not only banana but a whole host of exotic things like curry, rice, and peanuts. Together with more local stuff like chicken, cream and bacon. This dish is still a favourite amongst many who grew up with it as the number one party dish. The iconic swedish banana pizza, is basically that dish, on pizza. Chicken, curry, banana, and peanuts.

Pasta and beans it's no crazy. Here in Chile we have "Porotos con Riendas". Beans cooked with spaghetti in a soup. Very popular and delicious. Without cheese of course jajaja.

[@BleachWizz]

6:05 - lol, that could work. it's just a little bit of bittersweet. and actually banana weirdely fits with cheese...

[@matthewuzulis5016]

I used to eat dry ramen noodles as a snack when I was a teen. What you do is get the packet type like shown here not the cup. Break up the noodles in the pack open one end and take out the seasoning pack, then sprinkle the seasoning pack over the noodles, hold the bag closed and shake. Is kinda like a noodle chip, I personally liked ether the veggie or chicken ones.

[@henrikaugustsson4041]

I’m Swedish, and I can tell you, banana on pizza is an acquired taste. My love loves it, I used to hate it but nowadays I’m warming up to it. Banana works very well with curry, and I tried a pizza recently that had banana, curry, pineapple, filet mignon (probably just steak, though, but they say it’s filet.) I think there were onions and mushrooms and finally bearnaise sauce. Was surprisingly pleasant.

[@soulwynd]

We have a banana cheese and ham sandwich here and it is pretty good, so I assume it goes well on a pepperoni pizza. Also we have chocolate and banana pizza here.

[@davideggleton5566]

Regarding banana on pizza ... There was a pizza restaurant in Newcastle Australia (back when I was a teenager), which had their own variant of Hawaiian pizza. It had a standard pizza base with a standard tomato sauce, and standard cheese, along with roughly inch square-ish slices of ham, pieces of pineapple and slices of banana. The combination was delicious and was one of their best sellers at this restaurant (cheekily named Leonardo's). They had plenty of other options, but this was my fave (and now just thinking about it, I'm missing it again)

[@andhisband]

One of the Korean chefs on YT told us that when he was a teen, he and his friends would buy packages of ramen, hold them in one hand and smash them with the other to break them up. They'd eat them like we eat potato chips and considered them a great snack. (No peanut butter and jelly though.) Then the old gal with the rotini, baked beans, and cheese is onto something: I think she's reinventing Cincinnati-style chili, which is pretty much a mixture of chili and spaghetti, and it's pretty good.

[@debreena2888]

Though Kay's version is not quite what I do, yes, I make something similar after a long day when I am tired & my creative ideas for dinner are dried up. I can up various organic beans for these sorts of nights to have on hand. I cook up a small finely chopped onion to translucent in a little lard until tender, add a clove or 2 of minced garlic, cooking the garlic for a minute & then adding a little cumin & red pepper. I then add a quart jar of my pintos or black beans, saving a little of the water from the jar to thin or adding some salsa to thin the beans as I mash them, depending on what I have on hand. Sometimes I throw in a chopped tomato or 3 from the garden. I turn the heat to low to let it thicken & get warm while I cook the pasta. After cooking the fusilli pasta & lifting it into a bowl, I stir the hot refries into the pasta & top with a (hand) shredded pepper jack or jack cheese. It is not baked. It may be fusilli pasta & bean abuse, but it is very good & quick to make.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

The first time my best friend made fruit primavera for me, I thought “huh? eww!” But, the berries, mandarin oranges, cherry tomatoes, and grapes, on spaghetti is actually really good!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

interesting!

Used to use chili jam as a kid, my favorite hotdog condiment

[@Wizardcastslightningbolt]

At Progressive Field in Cleveland, one of the vendors (Happy Dog) sells a hot dog topped with fruit loops. I personally never had tried it but it has been on the menu for years.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@Hawky2947]

*italian accent* "Banana on a pizza!" - Chef J.M. ( 6:00 ) Meme-worthy. Accents: Remembering Gerald Cooper from Clarkson's Farm with thick West Country accent (though it was edited for TV series from what I heard). Or county of Kerry or Leitrim (Foil, Arms and Hog channel did a sketch on british accents). And the best one in my opinion was Kay. She beat Jamie (who got into this infamous video too - not surprised).

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@jdlestero]

I've used canned biscuits for pizza crust in the past. If you par bake it for 7 minutes and then put sauce and toppings on, it turns out much better. I don't think I could force my brain to allow baked beans and anchovies in my mouth together though.

[@FlawlessFlaw]

Beans (mostly bean soup) and salted fish is a staple in many countries, including Italy. Baked beans might be way too sweet though.

[@jdlestero]

@@FlawlessFlaw I've had that and liked it. Yes it's the sweetness and after taste of the baked beens that sets alarms off for anchovies. I like both but they just don't jibe together in my mind.

[@shebakoby]

Pasta e Fagioli (Pasta and Beans) is a very traditional meal in Italy. I'm not a fan, but my father loves it! (beans are usually not seasoned and we do not bake it, but cook it on the stove!)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

good to know!

[@Mulgy]

A few years back ASDA sold a heinz baked bean pizza, didnt have loads like that one, but it was really nice.

[@SefricFrampus]

In Brazil banana pizza is a favorite for sweet/dessert pizza, also one of my favorites. The difference is that there's no tomato sauce, but there's cheese, banana, and sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over it.

[@jtee788]

You have to remember, in 1954, pizza was new to most Americans who weren't of Southern Italian descent or didn't live in Italian American neighborhoods, so it's not surprising that they were topping it with foods that were more familiar.

[@anasazmi8554]

Dried noodles eaten raw is a trademark of a brand here (Mamee Monster), though the noodles are thin & they season the noodles with the provided seasoning powder instead of PB&J. Banana on a normal pizza is weird, I agree, but the local Domino's Pizza here has an entree where the pizza has banana slices as topping on seri kaya sauce (seri kaya is a spread made of eggs, pandan leaves & coconut milk) and cheese, and I love it.

[@keithdavies52]

I'd try the Oreo thing, but I haven't seen an Oreo in the wild in over 20 years. My son made me chocolate chip cookies the other day. I dipped them in a scratch chili sauce I made, and it was fantastic.

[@MrYfrank14]

Oreos and pickle juice. There was a fast food restaurant in the US that sold a pickle slush. It was a beverage made out of crushed ice and pickle juice. I do not have any of those restaurants near me so I do not know if they still sell them, but there were videos all over youtube at one time of people trying to drink them and not vomit.

[@mckidney1]

Some of these are clever and shocking just due to bias - like the gummy bears. It is sugar and gelatin that would be part of some sausages anyway. Sugar dissolves in the wine as the gelatin turns back to liquid with the heat from final water treatment. So it sounds crazy, but really it is just different form than standard powder. Worst was for sure the last - wasting high end ingredients on a crazy meal.

[@dinoson7007]

I would say banana on pizza is not a bad idea. Plantain goes supprisingly well with savoury food, If it getting sundried, ovenbake, or fried, it will have a really nice texture, even be like a bit sweeter type of chips and it is not that weird to have potato on pizza (there is even 1 type of pizza like that in Rome).

[@QuantumAnswer]

Nooooooooooooooo, why did you do this to me 🤣😭 I would have never seen those clips of people just..... putting gummy bears in sousages (🤢).... but... what killed me was Jamie's rice as part of that collection 😅

[@lmpeters]

When I first entered the workforce and was trying to save up some money, I found an electric pressure cooker at a thrift store, and then taught myself how to make curry (I live in an area with lots of Indian immigrants). I never made anything as good as the restaurants, but one of my favorite cheap meals was spaghetti mixed with chana masala and grated Jack cheese. It was sort of like Kay's bean-and-pasta casserole, except it was actually good.

[@silversilva7555]

5:54 This one reminded me of the fact that one of the well-known pizzerias in my area used to have Nutella pizza with bananas on top in their menu.

[@domnikeeshadrin1759]

Fun fact James! I make a bean pizza like a lot and many in my community do it too. We have lent days for religious purposes so no meat or dairy (can’t even use oil sometimes) for weeks at a time. But my recipe is nothing like the one you saw. I make my own dough and I use refried beans with taco seasoning. Bake it then add a bunch of lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeños, black olives, the works. It sounds weird but vegan food is a lot of work and can get messy. it’s so much easier and faster to get our carbs, protein and veggies in for the whole family.

[@SimRacingKnightmare]

I have come to the conclusion that 99% of the cooking videos on Tik Tok are people just throwing random stuff together and recording it to troll people. The phrase "just because you can...doesn't mean you should" comes to mind.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

some are good

[@SimRacingKnightmare]

@@ChefJamesMakinson some, yes. Lol

[@Irish_Wristwatch101]

I think one thing about recipes from prior to the 80's and 90's is you had the results from people growing up on great depression cooking, people were living off of the bare minimum and it shows from what they viewed as good tasting.

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

The chilli jam actually could work. There's stuff like Thai Pineapple fried rice which is pretty sweet, chilli jam would be more sugary so he should've added it near the end and toss it. But its definitely not "Healthier" than a regular fried rice that has fewer ingredients and less sugar than what he's cooking.

[@Gogettor]

Hey Makie, try the following combinations: they’re sublime in practice - morcilla and green apple empanadas (I’m from Argentina and some gourmet places have them) and my invention: chorizo and banana empanadas (I was surprised flavorwise, texture wise not that much)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

chorizo and banana empanadas? Interesting combo!

[@Gogettor]

@@ChefJamesMakinson try it.

[@tha_0x]

There is a meat shop in Minnesota that does makes gummy brats. I've had them before and they are pretty good. As you cook the brats, the gummies melt and creates a glaze around the brat.

[@Redarmy1917]

The watermelon bbq pizza one could work. BBQ sauces are heavily varied, you can probably find one that would work well. I wouldn't use the toppings he chose though. Probably take it into more of a fruit salad approach, a few berries, maybe a thinly sliced apple. An interesting dessert idea.
