Hi James. It's me again. I did my trial in the kitchen and the 2 chefs really liked me.

[@Kateresa42]

Love your videos so far! I also used to not understand why vegans/vegetarians would want a fake version of the foods they avoid. And then in my late 20s I developed an allergy to shellfish and in my late 30s I developed an allergy to mammal meat after getting bit by a lone star tick. Even years later, I still crave red meat, especially bacon, steak, a nice juicy burger, and I miss a lot of the Chinese and Korean dishes I grew up with that contain oyster sauce or shrimp paste. So now I’m just grateful for people making vegan kim chee, and turkey bacon. It’s not the same, but it does help when I have cravings I can’t satisfy. The idea of developing a food allergy must be terrifying for a professional chef!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you!

[@diarmuidkuhle8181]

Yes I completely get it. I mean going vegetarian or vegan isn't supposed to be like some penance where you swear off a thing you enjoy. But you might feel that a particular food tasting good is not enough justification for killing a living creature. That doesn't mean that food doesn't still taste good, just that you can't reconcile eating it with your ethical principles. Perfectly fine to find a replacement. And I have to say as a meat-eater, some of those replacements are delicious in their own right and I will sometimes order them over the meat option.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Ticks always scared me, with lyme disease and all that. But after learning about that red meat allergy that they can give you, I'm even more terrified of them. However, I also heard that the allergy can wear off after a couple of years. And there's imitation shellfish that is pretty good too.

[@princejoseph8280]

Vegans avoid food that end up harming animals because of ethical reasons but they still might like the taste of those kind of food, they just sacrifice that in order to be ethical. So it makes sense for them to eat something that replicates the taste. Although usually these imitation doesn’t even come close to the taste so most vegans don’t go for it.

[@bcaye]

Alpha-Gal is a horrible thing. I have friends (a couple) who both got it. I asked if they had tried Impossible burgers. They were excited. I told them to check with an allergist if the heme (a blood protein) would cause problems. It doesn't. Something you could use for the cravings. It's good tasting as well.

[@nerd26373]

Chef James rocks that orange shirt he's wearing. Seems like he's really channeling Uncle Roger in this. May God bless him and everyone else around here.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you! Im sorry that I couldn't get the exact same shirt.

[@FabbrizioPlays]

I also never noticed before how efficient Uncle Roger's filming setup is. I thought he was recording the nephew bits after the fact from a different location, but he's actually just got an asymmetrical set that looks significantly different from a 90 degree angle, and the cameras are not at the same offset from center, so it doesn't look like a mirror image when he turns to the other cam.

[@lexxluey]

my fiancee is a cook and she caught me binge watching your reaction videos and she said your analysis of kitchen standards is on point. since then we always watch your videos. I even learnt the finger rule for measuring rice water from your video. tried it today and my rice cooked very well. not watery and not soggy. 🙌😄

[@BlackHoleEye]

That wasn't even grease she was rinsing out of the ground beef. Look when the puts it in the pan, that was VERY lean beef. She overcrowded the pan, so the meat boiled and all the water came out of it. She basically rinsed away water with water.

[@eng-eq7xy]

It's probably been mentioned elsewhere, but the reason why non-stick pots and pans, as well as good knives, should not be placed in the dishwasher is the fact that the detergents used contain abrasives (needed to remove food particles). As an aside, you can use a dishwasher to sanitize knives, bottles, post, and pans. So long as the dishwasher is clean, and you don't use any detergent (rinse solutions should be okay), a dishwasher can get MUCH hotter than what you get out of the tap, and will remove exponentially more microorganisms as a result. Fun Fact: When my lab is out in the field, we bring an Instant Pot Max with us to act as a makeshift autoclave. It can get to 15psi of pressure, and 121oC, so can sterilize most small equipment. Where I am (Ontario, Canada, just outside Toronto), sushi is incredibly popular, but a lot of it isn't what I'd call traditional. Pretty well every grocery store sells a variety of California Rolls, salmon, and tuna rolls, but a lot of it is things like fried shrimp. Now most cities will have a variety of casual sushi restaurants, and a few really good places in cities >100,000 people. They can range from mid-high in terms of price...with some cracking into the "I just paid $50 for 2 pieces of toro sashimi", but it's very widespread. Edit: Holy s#!t! Candy in whatever the heck that was? The only thing I can think as a positive is that Nerds are basically pure sugar with some citric acid and artificial flavourings/colourings, but no...just no.

[@hikokun19]

Simultaneous shock face from Uncle Roger and you was priceless 🤣🤣🤣. Greetings from Chile!

[@DatCameraMON]

You should absolutely check out a ton of Guga's dry-age experiments. A lot of interesting results there. Also, another good one from Guga is his sous-vide 30 day brisket video.

More importantly, salt the steak the night before on a grate. Trust me. I prefer using clarified butter with thyme.

I'm from Poland and from what I've seen, Poles either love sushi or they hate it. Some people have great appreaciation for it and there are lots of sushi bars / restaurants, while others couldn't swallow a single piece. Also, Vincenzo has some great pizza-related videos you could react to.

[@Wehra96]

Pretty much anyone can find something they like, far from all sushi consists of raw fish.

[@piorun7903]

Potwierdzam. Sushi is indeed a hit or miss in terms of Poles' likings. Also it depends on the bar, because one bar is pretty solid, while the other could be absolute piss.

[@DogFish-NZ]

In new Zealand sushi is very popular I would say. Especially chicken but we have some of, if not the best seafood in the world. So there are a few world class expensive sushi places here.

[@danestrenton]

More or less the same in the US, people either love it or hate it. A lot of people are also pretty squeamish about raw fish here too

Sushi is just another option like Indisn or Italian in the US. It is THE Japanese food in the Us.

[@joannh.3061]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I'm a vegan who converted long ago because of factory farming and other ethical reasons. That being said, I used to enjoy the flavor and texture of meat. Looking back, I realize it was because of the fatty texture, salt, seasonings and aromas. I understand why some people try to recreate those flavors, textures and aromas. It makes it easier to transition and stay on the vegetarian/vegan journey. Over time, though, one's tastes change. I've happily adapted to plant based flavors and textures, so each dish stands on its own, without needing to be "meat". Thanks again for your engaging videos. Please, everyone, subscribe!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

thank you!

[@mariusmeyer3243]

Was about to say the same thing, since I've already heard this hundreds of times. Funnily enough, after being vegan for almost sex years now, I can't even stand most meat substitutes because of this almost perfectly replicated taste. On the other hand, discovering different eating cultures and learning more about cooking, herbs, flavours and so on made me realise the sheer abundance of different tastes compared to before I went vegan.

[@Behindthejab]

Yeah cause there is no factory farming for veggies…

[@mariusmeyer3243]

@@Behindthejab Last time I checked, factory farming referred to animal acrigulture by definition. Or what do you think CAFO means? If you do have some deeper knowledge, please, do enlighten us, since you seem to have so many valid points

[@Behindthejab]

@@mariusmeyer3243 it is, but no healthier than monocropping which is how veg is grown which kills everything remotely close to the farm. If you want ethical sources of meat it’s not hard to find

[@oOSchmuseEngelOo]

I was born in Poland and we eat fish a lot, because fishing is like the to go Hobby for a lot of dads. Of course most of the time we don't eat it raw, but fish Tatar was an exception. So after getting in contact with Japanese culture it came almost naturally to me to like sushi (1995 kid, growing up with dragon Ball, getting into more of it, after internet became more accessible). I find that Korean and Japanese cuisine fits my taste the most out of all Asian cuisine.

[@celletoronto]

Sushi was everywhere in the Philippines when I was growing up. But we also had our own raw fish dishes called “kinilaw” - a Philippine ceviche. In Toronto, sushi is everywhere and is a go to dish by most people.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Very interesting!

[@celletoronto]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Here’s a kinilaw recipe if you’re curious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZO5p3t_qrKbjdU Also, even though sushi is everywhere in the Philippines, it was more for middle to upper class due to the price. Regular everyday people had more local cuisine (like kinilaw which has many versions per region).

I'm Canadian, and sushi is popular enough to be sold at supermarkets around. At least in Ontario. Even rural markets where I live. That said, people who like sushi generally know better than to buy the stuff at the grocery store. If I want to enjoy my meal I'll drive to the city where a proper sushi place is

[@TheTsalop]

Ncie reaction as always :D Love how educational these are. As for sushi... Five years ago it was just something you bought from random Asian restaurants but nowadays it is so popular in Finland that many stores sell pre-packed sushi and quite many hypermarkets have their own sushi-restaurant as part of the complex.

[@kevincrosby1760]

That woman only missed one trick. She should have tossed a good 1/2 cup or so of cheap Vodka in with the meat while cooking. That way when she carefully rinsed all of the fat-soluble and water-soluble flavors out of the meat, she could have eliminated the alcohol-soluble components as well.

I would say Japanese cuisine in general, including sushi is quite popular where I am from (Singapore), and I understand it is also popular with our neighbours like Malaysia (I have Malaysian colleagues who really like Japanese food). Personally, I prefer sashimi to sushi though (I think it might be because in Singapore, restaurants have the tendency to put too much rice into sushi), and raw fish is actually quite common in East Asian food (some groups of south Chinese often have it during Lunar New Year, for example, and the Teochew and Hainanese (at least in Singapore, not sure about China and other diasporas) have it with rice porridge as part of a meal).

Sushi is popular in certain parts of Canada, I find in Southern Ontario it is very popular, but the more North you go the less it is. It also depends on how much fishing each province is known for

[@jiggy.pop.phantomkell9453]

In the US, sushi is fairly popular. As many states and cities here I've been to, sushi is easily found at the store or certain types of eateries(fastfood college cafe's or sushi bar in a Chinese buffet). Most of the time, there's just a straight up sushi restaurant, usually treated as a bit of a fancy occasion for a nice date night.

[@nathanlawrence2484]

Where I'm from, it's not extremely popular but there are some Asian restaurants that serve it very authentically and they have pretty consistent crowd that comes to them. Even the grocery store near my house started to make it fresh daily. Not exactly like the restaurants but still fairly good.

I love sushi myself (not a fan of tuna, but I love salmon sushi and sashimi), and it does seem to be quite popular here in Canada, and I would imagine in the US as well. I feel like I remember sushi restaurants started popping up everywhere, in my city at least, about 10-15 years ago. My city tends to be behind in those aspects though (we only got a pho place maybe 7 years ago for example, and only just got a second one).

[@toriless]

Pho hit the US in the 1980's. They were everywhere. Less now, just like Thai the bad ones went away. Sushi has grown at a more healthy pace and may last. Even Costco has a daily supply and it is better than from any grocery.

Pac NW, my neighbors are 1/3 Asian / another 30 percent Indian and then the rest. Get your spices from an Indian Supermarket. Their herbs are not good except ones like dill that they use a lot. Their cilantro is always limp and old.

I'm not a trained chef although I wanted to take that path after working in many restaurants and really learning a lot through those jobs I've been doing home cooking for a lot of years after having changed career choices (manual labor work can be very taxing) I very much enjoy these videos because I appreciate your forgiveness of things excepting common sense I've also learned a lot Thank you 😊

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

you're welcome!

[@snowcrashshaftoe]

Excelente trabajo Chef James, muy buenas recomendaciones y reacciones, ojalá se de pronto un crossover con el tío Roger

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Glad you like them!

“If you’re going to eat something, I don’t see the point of making it taste like something you want to give up.” THANK YOU!! I’ve been saying that for years, and it’s why I avoid “faker” recipes.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

A lot of people don't see it that way.

[@noktomo]

Its pretty simple: You give up on meat, because you want to reduce animal suffering and don't support slaughter or the conditions of factory farming, but you do like the taste of meat. Its a moral decision to give up, not because you don't like the taste! 90% of vegetarians/vegans don't give up on meat/milk products etc because they don't like the taste but for the animal welfare thought! Hope that helped clarifying. 😃

[@darksemmel503]

I am not vegan or vegetarian myself, but my girlfriend is. She actually likes meat - but doesn't eat it for moral reasons. Making something else taste like meat is something that would really help her out.

[@jmurray1110]

There are also people who don’t have a choice in not eating it People can develop allergies in later life so having alternatives without those allergies is quite useful

[@sharkloving_aquarist]

I was vegetarian for 8 months until two weeks ago (iron got too low, starting again soon) and I absolutely get the point of making something taste like meat if you're vegetarian, especially if you grew up with it. Like someone below said, you can like the taste of meat and not support it. Making something taste like meat can ease cravings and help someone adjust to the lifestyle. It can also help replicate dishes you miss.

Hey mate new subscriber here from Australia 🇦🇺. Love the few videos I’ve watched so far and look forward to seeing more from you 👍

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Awesome thank you!

[@ritajaklitsch7559]

I like sushi. - Like almost everyone else I know. In my hometown Vienna (Austria) it is a quite common dish to order in restaurants or as delivery food. Even supermarkets sell fresh sushi as lunch snack.

Daddy Noel is a South African bodybuilder who does a lot of fitness education, teaching you how to make low calorie meals (why he used spray) or how to do different lifts. This portion would have been small for him since he’s enhanced but for the majority of his follow who are much smaller than him it works as 1 of the 5-6 meals they’re eating a day

[@NicoNii_Umammy]

I'm from Brazil and sushi (Japanese food in general) is very common here! I tried it and love it! (Also, my grandpa is a Japanese born in Brazil, so Japanese food and I have a long "relationship") I love your videos

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I love Japanese food! :) I would love to visit Brazil one day!

[@j-jvanderlaan8787]

Funny you asked about the Sushi thing, Here in the Netherlands it is still very popular. I was in Leon Spain in June, and there is a very good sushi restaurant in the Center, but people from spain are not really digging it, because it does not do Tapas style food. only complete dinner. It seems to be very popular amongst the pilgrim walkers that go up to Santiago. We looked at it for a few days and decided to go there, and I must say it was very, very good. Miu Japones it was called.

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

Your reaction to the last one got me rolling and laughing. 😅😂🤣 Ty, you made my day!

[@krislong9338]

I use avocado oil in many Asian dishes because it's neutral and has a much higher smoke point than other oils. I do have a gallon jug of peanut oil meant to use for deep frying that might have other uses.

[@phoenixrising4573]

I'm in a fairly rural part of Texas, we've got probably 5 sushi restaurants of varying quality between three small cities! Helps we live just a few miles inland on the gulf, and have some of the best seafood fisheries in the world! The point of draining beef like that is to get some of the fat/grease out of really cheap ground beef. When you're stuck using 70/30 or something to make something that's not supposed to be super heavy.... yeah, A LOT of people will drain cheap ground beef.

[@arkt1k330]

I'm from the US, and sushi is EVERYWHERE. I live in a town with just over 500k people in it very far from the ocean, and we still have two really good sushi places in town

Like your vids chef James. Love from Brazil

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you very much!

[@PeterTarkulich]

I grew up in a non-metro area of upstate New York, with parents who rarely exposed us to ethnic foods, so I didn't try sushi until I was living in a bigger city (Buffalo, NY) in college. This was early 2000s, so it was available, but still not popular. I personally fell in love with it. When I moved out to Southern California a few years later, my wife and I would make regular trips to Little Tokyo in L.A. just to get sushi. Now I'm back in NY, but we have a lot more places to get it now. Thanks for the videos!

About rinsing mushroom: Fun trivia, in my native language (Sweden) the word for Sponge and Mushroom is the same, Svamp! (On the flipside, the word for Poison and Being Married is also the same, Gift)

Hi James thx for all the great content! QQ, would you have a grocery shop list students can't go wrong with to cook for a week? I find that whenever I arrive at grocery shops I never know what ingredients I should buy to eat affordably but also good

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Great suggestion! but it does depend on what you can get where you live

[@gregorturner4753]

Sashimi in Australia has been growing in popularity over the past 10 years or so, most supermarkets sell them and one supermarket chain actually make them fresh in store. I found another store chain is selling Don bowls which is beef or chicken with rice and vegetables ready to eat.

[@Ubontax01]

Sushi popular in NJ 2022. Love your demeanor and poise. Enjoy your reviews of Uncle Rodger! My new favorite KZbinr!

2:24 Yes. I only used a commercial dishwasher because I was sick during a waitering class, then worked as a glassie in a bar. That said: I still don't use the dishwasher at home. It's full of spare plastic bottles. We do use the oven, though.

[@krislong9338]

Sushi is possibly my favorite food. I'm lucky to live in a techy area of the us, Awe have a huge number of highly skilled people from all over Asia, so we have lots of options for food and people are very sushi aware here (plus there is a rare Japanese market that I can buy fatty tuna from)

[@krissykri]

"Aerosol can, don't lubricate the pan". The look on his face when realization strikes that he had made a rhyme (was super adorable hehe).

[@CrazyJodice]

I live in Western Pennsylvania and my family uses the oven as a bread box. When oven is not in use we store the desserts, breads, and other snack stuffs

[@_unknown123.]

In Indonesia sushi is quite popular but a bit expensive because we don't have a stable source of salmon...it doesn't live in tropical areas
