Kay reminds me of my late grandmother. She was so sweet and earnest and worked hard at family gatherings to make us all dinner (usually parties of 18 or more). But her roasts were dry, the gravy was kinda burnt, unseasoned potatoes... We all ate it with smiles on our faces because it weirdly became comfort food.

Brian that's British bacon. IIrc it's cut perpendicular to the cuts used for "streaky bacon" (the term used for the belly bacon you find in north america). It's actually a combo of what is often called Canadian Bacon (which is cut from the back) and streaky bacon. As I said it's cut perpendicular to how streaky bacon is cut if I remember correctly, which means you get a small round of pork belly and a larger round of the back muscle connected with fat

In Kay's defense, she did say her son can't have cheese. She didn't give a reason and if he can't have cheese then she shouldn't make carbonara for him (or maybe find a vegan alternative), but neither chef seemed to catch that line.

[@ElfDef13]

Some folks believe that Kay is trolling everyone. Not sure myself. I once believed that most people could cook and then I met my sister in-law. She literally screws up everything she tries to cook.

[@SkaterBlades]

To be fair, you have to practice it. I firmly believe everyone should have at least a few dishes they can cook because it's a basic life skill to feed yourself. In an ideal world everyone should be able to cook from scratch somewhat decently. I've been cooking for 3 years as a hobby (started at university) and i still occasionally fuck up. Tried making naan breads the other day, looked like my kitchen exploded afterwards

She's obviously of an older generation and those might not be as inclined to look at tutorials on the internet to learn things. I'm only 34 years old and in my youth/teens nobody was teaching me to cook and the few cookbooks and internet sites I got recipes from weren't always so helpful because they were evidently written for people who already have cooking experience. I basically taught myself through trial and error, the situation is much much better these days, you have people on YT giving out really great cooking advice on a professional and sometimes almost a scholarly level for free.

[@lsrrr3857]

I heard she has some kind of cooking disorder and does not have any basic knowledge about cooking. Like what is common sense to us is unknown to her or something along that line. Her video is a record of her son trying to drill those common sense into her.

I always use guanciale for carbonara, and slow cook them so they become crispy. The most important thing is I never use cream, just beat eggs with pecorino cheese, and after spaghetti is cooked, put it into the sauce pan, off the fire, pour in the egg mixture, keep stir it to let it get cooked with the heat of the spaghetti. Then woala…food ready. Anyway I think I need to go to my cardiologist for now…. 🤣 and to be honest, I think it’s a miracle her kids have grown up and still alive with what she feeds them

[@BrooklyKnight]

I feel like Kay definitely tries, and for that I can respect her. She's no pro and she's not trying to be either. She's just like "Hey I've never made this thing before, lemme try, this is my first attempt". A lot of times, people don't realize that people test their recipes several different times before they film the final attempt that makes things work well. They probably make mistakes in the testing phase that we as a watcher don't get to see. I mean... yeah... her cooking isn't the best, for sure. And I definitely wouldn't trust her to make my favorite dish of all time, curry goat roti. But I like that she tries and I also like that a good amount of her viewer base tries to be nice to her in the responses when critiquing the dish, since after all people are more likely to respond to nice vs mean. Idk, I just see a working class lady trying. And yeah it ain't really... great? But A for effort, even if it's not good execution.

[@DuoMaxwellDS]

Not sure if you can call that effort, when there is no effort spent in researching beforehand. There are 2 things I'd prefer people to do research carefully before hand, work involved human life or involved food.

[@BrooklyKnight]

@@DuoMaxwellDS It depends on what you define "effort" to be. Research to me is just a kind of effort, but lack of research isn't 0 effort. I just think like if someone makes a bunch of mistakes with something they're trying to do, there's two things you can do as a person: either A, you cheer them on, or B, you ridicule them for the sake of belittlement. Only one of those methods will actually result in the person improving. A few words can make a difference on people. I used to like two things as a kid: writing and drawing. I got a lot of encouragement about my writing, even though it was absolute trash if you ask me. I was much better at drawing imo when I look back at my old work, but I was always told my drawings were garbage by others. As an adult, I find that my writing has improved over the years, while my ability to draw is nigh non-existent. So... yeah that's why I cheer on Kay. It may not be perfect and it's definitely not close to "great" either, but she makes her mistakes and doesn't seem afraid to make them, and that's what I like about her and why I wanna cheer her on to hopefully get better at doing stuff.

Carbonara is my favorite Italian dish. I love making it or eating that in a restaurant. Although in restaurants what they serve is not accurate but tasty. Now personally I love Pork a lot, but there is no Guancale in Israel. The only time I was able to find a Pig cheek who is uncured (I of course didn't take it) it looked bad in a very cheap quality. Bacon here is okay, but in general in Israel Pork is in low quality still taste great and in high price. So I use something else (Goose, Salami...) but I still haven't found the perfect Pork replacement for this dish. Now for the video- Hilarious and sad at the same time that is Kay for you. I don't understand why you did this to yourself but it was still pleasure to watch. Next please react to Gordon Ramsay Carbonara/Gnocchi & Bologonese videos. Believe me it's a must to see what Gordon is doing wrong, you would be surprised for the worse. He made Vincenzo cry and angry every time.

Is pork less prevelant in Israel because of Judaism? I'm not actually sure how jews view pork, is it similar to Islam?

[@eranshachar9954]

@@harounfarhani2138 Yes. I love Pork but basically we are not allowed just like Muslims. The Pork here is either imported for the most part or raised Illegally by Arab Christians and Christians in general. However by Jewish law, raising Pigs on the land of Israel is a crime. So what they do is a platform, on which the poor Pigs are crowded together and technically they are not on the land. So when the Pigs are either abused or imported, no wonder the quality is so bad. I have tasted Pork abroad, and I didn't believe it's the same animal. I thought what I was eating for life was good, but it would appear it isn't. I checked it out a long time ago, and Pork quality in my country is among the lowest in the world.

For that reason I can't find proper Guancale or Pancheta. And I am not going to buy a piece online. Even if it's dried or frozen, still you must agree with me that Pork is sensitive.

That is what we call in the UK back bacon: Back bacon is a cut of bacon that includes the pork loin from the back of the pig. It may also include a portion of the pork belly in the same cut. It is much leaner than side bacon made only from the pork belly. Back bacon is derived from the same cut used for pork chops. It is the most common cut of bacon used in British and Irish cuisine, where both smoked and unsmoked varieties of bacon are found.

There is one compliment I can readily give Kay. She rocks some bad ass shirts.

[@tildessmoo]

Hot take here: I actually like pasta and scrambled eggs. I'll usually use a shape that holds onto the egg better, like orochiette or rotelle or macaroni, but spaghetti will do in a pinch. That said, it's definitely not the same thing as carbonara, and it still involves a lot of pecorino and black pepper. It's a bit of a comfort food from back when my mom was struggling to find things to feed my overly-picky self (I got better) on an extremely limited budget.

OMG I sooo waiting for this ur reaction 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AvEnGeD7X238]

I’m in tears rn😂😂😂

[@theswordoftheevening9865]

Thank you Chef Tsao for saying what they said was not understand or I thought I was too high.

[@BoannBoyne]

@1:48 Sounded like "can you taste the cream?" "Yeah but not a lot if you get what I mean" "you might have to have it all then"

[@TheDawnbringer]

Every time i watch Vincenzo’s videos, i want to taste the dish but he makes me feel so naughty/filthy/dirty for wanting it lol. He’s so much fun to watch lol😊

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Agreed!

[@katievasanth2642]

Ah, American bacon- I miss it so! As many have said, that's 'back bacon', or in our house 'floppy bacon'. Bacon here in the UK comes in a few styles- back bacon, streaky (American style), and medallion (really just the back bacon without the tail). It's available unsmoked or smoked, with (I believe) unsmoked being more popular. So, what she's cooking is essentially ham, with very little fat to render out. Honestly, bacon is one of my 'white whale' items here- no matter how much money I throw at UK bacon (smoked and streaky, of course), nothing is comparable to even the most generic American brands. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's always cut so thin and short here (not quite, but think pancetra crisp), and whatever I try it's always oversalted or undersmoked/flavored.

[@annbower6278]

Her long suffering son had not liked it.

[@hardywatkins7737]

I've never tried American bacon but I would hazard a guess that a nice farm produced, cured British bacon is as good as any other.

[@BroadwayRonMexico]

@@hardywatkins7737 Theyre really not similar though. British bacon is a back cut, American bacon is cured/smoked pork belly

[@hardywatkins7737]

I'm just responding to the negative review of British bacon is all. Sure they may be different, but so are peoples tastes.

[@mommabird2813]

Dying🤣I feel so bad for Kay. I’m a mere home cook, even I wouldn’t attempt this dish and serve it to my family without a test run first.

[@rolandsulyok6974]

What about a large pan for more heated surface and low level of water in it? The pasta will decrease the temp of the water but due to the larger heated surface and low amount of water it will be back on boiling point pretty fast isn't it? And you will higher starch concentration in the water, ist that a good thing for the sauce?

[@sheriwilson701]

The bacon she used is back bacon, the rounded part is from the loin and the narrow end is a bit of the belly. It's common in South Africa as well. You normally find back bacon, streaky bacon and shoulder bacon so you can choose the fat level you want.

[@gordonbos5447]

Yes that is bacon as served in every British hotel at breakfast. It is deboned prime rib. What you know as bacon is made using the same curing method but it is made from the much cheaper pork belly. This side of the big pond the pork belly version is commonly referred to as streaky bacon.

[@annaolson4828]

I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt and suggest maybe she figured you cook pasta like how you cook rice. But then I remembered this was the woman who poured uncooked rice in a pan to make egg fried rice.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

😂

[@darksendkilla]

new upload schedule? I was just getting used to waking up every weekend to your videos

[@indumatipngtuber2790]

I love Kay, she is 100% the best most amazing chef ever and she cooks things unlike anyone or anything else!

[@hellfiresass]

Probably know by now, but the bacon she used is back bacon. Here in the UK, our main go to bacon (for bacon butty's) is back bacon. We do also have streaky bacon, which is the equivalent to the bacon in the US. Yes, our bacon is also smoked and you can also get unsmoked.

[@frellaful]

Well, at least she cooked the pasta..

[@barkingbunny2928]

More than her rice anyway...

[@rissemie2177]

Ughh the horror of the previous egg fried rice video. 🤣🤣🤣

[@_Ekaros]

Ah yes, I remember the one video with "meatballs" around pasta... That is an other horror....

[@leguiguik5041]

Wtf I thought everybody knows how to cook pasta 🤣🤣

[@nancymills1884]

These videos are the best diet plan in the world. They put me off food for days.

[@mtlewis973]

hi that is bacon she’s using. what americans use we call streaky bacon. it doesn’t tend to go as crispy as american bacon, but is therefore much more sturdy in sandwiches and things.

[@WolfStark17]

Not a butcher here but a meat cutter (there is a difference) Rib chops come from the front end of the whole loin just after the blade chops, and they do not have a tenderloin attached to them. The tenderloin is the underside of the loin chop (similar to a T Bone on a cow)

[@lollertoaster]

I often make pasta in a multicooker for convenience, it never comes out bad.

[@boba8955]

UK bacon comes from the loin of the pig as American bacon comes from the belly 🤘 Awesome videos chef!

[@dgmisal1979]

Looks like what I've heard called "back bacon" and it's common in the UK.

[@sagethegreat4680]

What do mean i can't boil the asparagus and the ham in the hollandaise 😂

[@tsunah2486]

Does your fire alarm need a battery change? I've noticed occasional chirping sounds in some of your latest videos. Nonetheless, I enjoy watching your videos, so keep them coming! 😊😊😊

[@christopherkarr1872]

I do believe the pork cut was Englsih bacon, rather than American bacon. So far as pasta/water ratio, I try to minimize water to increase starch content of my water, when cooking at home. Granted, in a restaurant setting you can use Luciano Monosilio's gelled starch method for cacio e pepe and modify it for similar starch-dependent preparations. I often cook my spaghetti or similar pasta shapes in a steep-sided fry pan.

[@dwolters_the_zombieman]

i always boil water before putting the noodles in i did learn some cooking when i was in middle school

[@marklock6421]

Brian you rock

[@marklock6421]

I to have also beat Bobby flay ( I finished 3rd, him 5th) in an ACF contest

[@darwinism8181]

I've found that in some situations, mostly when doing relatively small portions of pasta in a relatively large-bottomed pan with maybe 1/2"-ish of water over the top of the pasta, I get a really good result and a more concentrated amount of pasta water - aka dat good stuff. The biggest problem is when you have enough water that it won't reheat quickly because there's too much thermal mass being lost, and that's what leads to the advice that you should have a ludicrously large amount of water at a full rolling boil. But a really, really small amount of water (compared to standard advice) avoids this issue unless you have a truly anemic stove, just because it's easier to heat back up a small amount of water. This doesn't work at all for a commercial kitchen, where I've cooked tens of pounds of pasta off at a time in truly huge pot and you don't care as much because your reheater will rapidly become the starchiest pasta water you might ever need, but it works much better for home kitchens imo.

[@jacobvanderhooft2188]

Bacon in the uk includes the “Canadian bacon” cut with the American bacon part so that’s why it looks like that I think

[@coretinker]

kay getting higher points than jamie olive oil is a weird timeline

[@diannt9583]

Maybe because Kay has an excuse, but Jamie doesn't?

[@michaelsasylum]

That Kay's cooking channel is seriously revolting to watch, mad props for actually watching that.

[@mezz09smezzanine]

That is english back bacon, the standard bacon in the UK and maybe other places. I believe it is cut from half way between american streaky bacon and canadian bacon medallions
