Pro Chef Reacts.. To Uncle Roger NOT LIKING Auntie Esther Spicy Noodles

[@matthewgilfus1640]

What you were saying at the end of the video is an experiment that was going around in the 90's in America. People noticed that exchange students would go home for the holidays back to Asia and couldn't eat their parents' cooking. They looked into capsaicin and found that chemical in the blood that makes you resistant to the spice and heat. They decided to experiment and see if that's what also lowered blood pressure and fought heart disease because Asians are notorious for having amazing blood pressure and almost no heart disease compared to the rest of the world. They eventually started doing clinical trials with what they figured out. Strangely, about half of the men in the study noticed a side effect. They were able to "turn back time" about half an hour after taking their dose. And that's where Viagra came from!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@theodorehsu5023]

@@ChefJamesMakinsonI think this was the first time I was afraid Nephew Nigel couldn’t keep Uncle Roger from being out for blood. He looked ready to kill both Joshua and Esther for bringing back bad memories of Auntie Helen and her heinous infidelity. This wasn’t jealousy, this was turning Uncle Roger into the UR-Dead 800 Termination Robot. I half expect hearing Joshua and Esther getting their door broken down by a killer robot looking like Uncle Roger, complete with glowing red eyes.

And simmering in kitchen envy

[@Shampaggin]

Fun fact: sichuan peppercorns don't register on the tongue as heat. It works sort of the same, but what the tongue actually detects is motion - specifically, vibration. It's what gives them their numbing effect. Very fun addition, and numbing is half of the major flavor profile of Sichuan food. 🤤

[@skibidi.G]

I went and bought some, feels like electricity lolol

[@Drew-Dastardly]

I remember Sichuan peppercorns being illegal in the USA. Being a Brit I could buy them from Chinese supermarkets and use them to make a pretty good Peking Duck. When I mixed them with hot chilli I found the combination of numbing and heating so bizarre it made me kind of sick.

[@sashazahradnikova7701]

for me it still registers as pain. not sure if heat pain or tingly pain. just hurt.

[@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808]

So true!

[@Teuwufel]

It depends on a person and their receptors.

[@Vladimir_Kv]

21:25 Milk specifically contains casein which bonds with capsaicin, taking it further into the digestive tract from your sensitive mouth. Other good things are: cold to numb the heat, sugar to cover the feeling of heat with a dopamine rush, acidity which counters the heat. Empirically, the Food Theory channel came out with perfect heat neutralizers: either a *milk shake with acidic flavour* - lime, berry, etc; or a slightly melted *lime cream pie.*

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

Another Effective Cure is Bread as it will act like a sponge and Absorb the Capsaicin and take it down to your stomach. As for the Milk cure it's more effective with a higher fat content as well. or you can just suck on an Ice cube which will Numb the pain. I have tried the food theory cures myself and they just seem too much work. i am going to reach for my Milk and bread

[@Miranda-c6q]

I think I’ve seen several people use Joshua’s kitchen. Don’t feel bad. Yours shows what is real and what many people have to work with in real life. I imagine it’s tough with filming sometimes, but it’s in many ways better because it shows what someone can make regardless of their kitchen size. Remember too that he started videos in a cabinet. :) It is a gorgeous kitchen though and I’d love to cook in it.

[@Tundracomm]

[@user-gh5zk8er5h]

9:22 TIP!! Don't drink the milk immediately, leave it in your mouth as long as you can, swallow it 'n do that again few more times. Milk naturalized the burn 'n the burning feeling in your mouth will disappear after a few sips 😃😃

[@diarmuidkuhle8181]

Milk and yoghurt helps, but the best neutraliser is sugar. (Which might be the reason countries with a lot of spice in their dishes tend to have extremely sweet desserts.) Sweet plus milky is ideal, so ice cream, milk shake etc

[@akishorekumarr]

@@diarmuidkuhle8181 Sorry, I have to disagree. Sugar does not help alleviate spiciness as much as milk. Milk > Yogurt > Sugar.

I'm from Eastern Europe and hot food isn't common around here but I absolutely love it. My father and uncles are typical Asian uncles when it comes to hot food and I gew up eating lots of chilis and garlic. Been growing my own Scotch Bonnet peppers for a year now

[@cedainty]

Many years ago, my husband was being "courted" by an Indonesian valve company. Their salesmen took us out to dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. They also brought some Asian peppers with them. My husband does not like peppers, but he was brave enough to try a couple. It was a quick test, lol. I tried one about 1.5 inches long, very skinny, and dark green. It did not burn my tongue. What I felt, however, was very strange-- suddenly, the back of my scalp felt like it was shrinking! The sensation lasted a long time. Never could figure out what kind of peppers they were.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@kuldeepaurya9178]

"Chef James Makinson's reaction to Uncle Roger and Auntie Esther's spicy noodle showdown had me hooked! 😂🍜 I'm in this weird place with spicy food - I like the idea of it more than I can actually handle. My stomach and spicy food? They're not exactly friends, more like distant acquaintances who awkwardly bump into each other and then regret it. 🌶😅 Trying to make healthier choices lately, like swapping soda for water with a bit of squash (or cordial, as I've learned the Brits say - love picking up new terms!). Soda's sweetness overkill does a number on my taste buds, not to mention my stomach acidity. Oh, how I wish I could dive into the world of spicy food without consequences! For now, I'm living vicariously through these videos, imagining the taste without the tummy turmoil. Great content as always, Chef James! 👏🔥"

Only time he chickened out was when my Mom grew Ghost peppers and i ate one and was in a world of pain for a couple of hours.

[@renaissanceman8687]

The ‘trick’ with spicey food is for it to be ‘too hot’ in the last spoon/fork full, so it slowly builds until the last mouthful. My tolerance is about ‘medium’ and my favourite is to add about a teaspoon of Chilli flakes to tomato soup before cooking it. Slow build on the spice cutting through the creaminess of the soup 🧑‍🍳

Hi Chef James; Another great video, as usual. This is a review from a guy who is so-oo-oo into non-spicy I will enjoy a plate of plain pasta with just butter and salt! To say: "I'm into taste and not pain" is kind of the understatement of the hour! I have even had the experience of being in an Indian restaurant, making that statement, and getting a roaring laugh from the server!!!! My friends say I'm missing out on some incredible flavors - that may be, but I don't consider myself a masochist or cowardice has the runs in my family, so to speak. John Shaw

[@RecliningWhale]

I love spicy foods, most of the food I make has some element of spiciness to it. With that said, my favorite peppers are actually not that spicy (for my level of tolerance), those being Jalapenos, scotch bonnets, and Habaneros. I enjoy them more for their flavor than for their heat.

[@PhonePole68]

Hello Chef! I do like spicy food, but I'm really turned off by spicy challenges. For reference, I can have food that it literally drowning in Tabasco sauce, I love the way that my lips tingle afterwards. On the other hand, I bought some Carolina Reaper sauce recently, and I am so glad that I tried just a drop, because it is way too hot for me. I now mix ONE DROP with mayonnaise to dilute it. The level of the sauce is still up in the neck of the bottle and the bottle will probably last for years!!! Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you doing collaborations in the future.

Great vid again man :) And to answer your question at the start: I absolutely love spicy food. I'm around the habanero/Madam Jeanette/Scotch bonnet level now (100000-350000 Scoville) but I want to get up to ghost peppers. I recently made a delicious, authentic Laotian thum mak hoong (their version of papaya salad) and I put in about 6 bird's eye chillies. Next time I'll put in 10, then 15. 15 seems like an acceptable number of chillies for an authentic thum mak hoong 😊 Also: what you said about the flavour profiles of different peppers is absolutely correct! I always combine 5 or 6 types of chiles in my Mexican dishes to get the flavours I want :)

i love spicy food. my current spice threshold is about habanero/scotchbonet ( 400 000 to 800 000 scovil ) highter than that its getting too spicy for me to be really enjoying the food. Sadly my spouse cant take any spice heat at all... if i even use too much black pepper she will find it spicy(hot) XD so its hard to keep or improve my spice tolerance. also rather than drinking milk try drinking something very acidic like lemonade or (real) orange juice or pineapple juice. cause while Capsaicin is soluble in fat , acid neutralize it instead.

[@Monochromatic_Spider]

I once had a handful of habaneros going soft and decided that I didn't want them to go to waste. Made for a really good pasta sauce. But I did feel it in the days afterwards. Not that it was all that painful, but it sure was different. The worse part of that experience was actually cutting up the peppers during prep. I wasn't using a particularly sharp knife, so I managed to pepper spray the air to the point where it was literally quite hard to breathe. I like chilis, I reckon I handle them well enough, but it isn't any fun at all to inhale them.

Another thing I noticed that could have been bad was when Joshua poured the boiling oil into the glass bowl, which was sitting on the stone counter top.

[@ReanuKeaves1]

I love spicy food. I eat spicy food about every other day on average. I can handle spice. I’ve eating two one chip challenge back in 2021. I was able to handle the spice level well without flailing around like majority of the KZbinrs who’ve done it.

[@neilpickup237]

I think that some people are more interested in the challenge than the enjoyment. I had Indian neighbours (I worked with the husband), and his wife was an absolutely fantastic cook. Unfortunately for him, he had a rather low tolerance for spice, something which his wife was able to compensate for brilliantly. I was able to appreciate the depth and complexity of flavour without it being overpowered. As for my own tollerance (which was actually higher than his), on the typical three chilli rating, you see on quite a few menus, I really don't like to go beyond a two. I don't really enjoy anything hotter than a Thai Green Curry.

[@pdubb9754]

I recently had dried chilis dipped in dark chocolate. Quite good, but the heat could be unpredictable. Chocolate can help with heat. But really, cocoa powder is almost instant relief.

[@daze1945]

[@gandalf8216]

3:30 Paradoxical sensations, e.g activate heat receptors while also activating cold receptors. The brain goes "huh, this is neither", and it's like seeing a new color that hasn't been invented yet. Out of all hallucinations, cold heat, or hot cold, is the easiest to recreate. I used to teach colleagues about how neurons and cascading signaling work using chili. You can fix the activation with whole milk, but you can't inhibit the cascading effect. Same with the hot cold hallucination. I used to work with AI, years ago. It can appear counter-intuitive at times, and customers weren't exactly the most educated seeds in the pot.

[@projectdelta50]

My spice tollerance is insanely high. I love ghost peppers and often put ghost pepper flakes on my pizza. My favorite is the Arbol chili, nice heat, but dissipates fast so you can keep eating and eating. Every july third my next door neighbor had a chili cookoff. Id make my chili de arbol and add beef cubes, beans, diced tomatoes, and cheese on top. I won 5 years in a row and they stopped the event the year after my last win. My house keeper won the final event. Hes also the one who taught me a lot of mexican cooking. Hes not just my house keeper, but hes also an awesome chef, hes known in my area as the Taco King, he makes amazing street tacos, and i can never get enough of them. Everytime he cleans our house weekly hed make some food for us and leave a few mexican cokes. We would get a big batch of homemade tamales and a lot of other stuff. Hes the best. 😊

usually I add between 3 to 5 scotch bonnets per chicken along with ginger (I eye ball it) black pepper again i don't use measurements and red chili powder same as before eye balling ..... my spice tolerance is so high at this point i have to buy Carolina reaper hot sauce just to feel something and i add it to every thing tuna sandwich, buying fried chicken from peri peri, eggs especially when i make a shakshuka.

I used to have a really high tolerance for heat, now everything ordered mild 😢

I died at after eating 3/4th of the 3× spicy Buldak noodles. As an Indian, my spice level is not bad, but that day it was too much. 2× spicy one was OK. No problem at all!😊

I'm Asian, and my tolerance for spicy food was getting way out of hand that I had to sacrifice not eating spicy food for months just to feel the heat again. Now that I'm older, I appreciate the right amount of spice so I can actually taste the dish. I'm kind of a new subscriber, and I think your videos are cool. But what's cooler is when I heard you say you have a Paella video so.. I'm off to look for that! 😁 I think Barcelona's cool and I hope one day I can visit. Which reminds me, there's an F1 race this weekend at Barcelona! Best of luck to you Chef!

Thank you! yes I have a lot of recipe videos and I will be making more!

Agreed, high heat on really spicy stuff basically makes a kind of tear gas. Van make a whole house hard to be in if not done cautiously.

LOVE spicey food, can even eat Samyang Buldak with just the non controlable reactions (runny nose, etc.) Actually love the taste and heat. I just kept increasing the heat levels over a decade to get used to it. What I do find is that as my tolerance increased I can taste the flavours of the different chillies as I'm not focused on the heat.
