Is it worth making the 3 hour car ride to Rochester for some garbage? *Hell yeah*

[@emilygilbeyful]

I mean our odd historic traditional local festivals are no different to your thanks giving! How do you think the rest of the world feels about you guys eating pumpkin pie? It's considered disgusting and ineadible in Europe and as for that sweet potato bullshit with marshmallow I'd rather eat stargazy pie (not that I ever have because I'm not local to that region) 😂

[@emilygilbeyful]

@Kry Kry fuck no. Pumpkin isnt eadible!!! It's not food anywhere else in the world it's disgusting and disposed all across europe. We literally don't understand how you can eat it? It beggars belief! We grow it for a laugh at Halloween but throw it away after Halloween

you need to be asian enough to eat pizza with rice

@Kayla Nguyen it's just a saying in my place "you are not truly eat if you don't touch rice"

Bcuz it's him and he's from missisippi

[@achoo378]

No, it’s because he is a tamale

[@tosht2515]

I’ve heard of all five but have only had three - Rochester garbage plates, Mississippi tamale and haggis. I had regular fish pie in London but really want that Stargazy! 🐟🥧👍

5:18 did she just put her finger in the hot oil???? 😯

[@Astro80s]

DDS11 yeh

[@laurenevam6305]

Her finger has batter on it and it was only in for a very short time so it wouldn't have been long enough to effectively cause any harm; plus she's probably done that for years so has less sensation in those fingers

[@DrKunze]

Look up Leidenfrost effect, you'll see people put their hands in molten metal and find out how it works.

[@oveetee9294]

Garbage plates.. most appetizing name you could think of..

[@Howslife7good]

I love the voice overs, they have such lovely voices

[@lkxiang]

Anyone else also thinks the haggis maker look like dantdm

[@corknaut]

Not gonna lie, I haven't even considered it until this video was recommended to me, but that man's voice is EXACTLY what a tamale would sound like.

Haggis is absolutely delicious! No joke! Its amazing! Sausages are made in animal casings too.. the taste is hard to describe but its just so nice

That lady making the maple leaf tempura should go to Canada They would love it

[@joe972]

I have been to the tamales store in Mississippi, they were really good

[@plarizedpinklemnz6964]

Who's the person doing voice over for the 2nd dish - the garbage plate? I looove his voice

[@kaen_tqk3918]

Yeah I'd only try the garbage and the leaves.

Mmmm steak and kidney pie🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@heleng3450]

Honestly the garbage plate looks very appetizing!

[@mariejuezerrudo7413]

as always, love your cinematography 😍

[@AshesAshes44]

I've noticed in other videos as well, but why do so many people seem to forget America has savory pies as well as sweet? Chicken, and turkey pot pie are classics, never mind what you can find at independent shops. Sure, we eat a lot more fruit pie, but my local pie shop doesn't have people screaming in fear over their chicken and artichoke pies.

[@dtofthedarkthief]

100 year anniversary for the garbage plate

[@sunisury]

while putting the maple leafs to fry, the woman dipped some of of her fingers in the hot oil too! ｏｍｇｏｓｈ！

In this Mexican home we don’t accept other tamales than corn leaf tamales! De rojo, de verde, de rajas con queso, de frijoles, dulces y demás. Tamales tamales tamales they are northern Mexico pride and joy and I will stand for them

[@ryanxu9983]

As a Canadian i vow to randomly eat maple leafs off the floor to find one that is edible

That's not a fish head, that's a whole fish. Fish like that mostly eaten whole.

[@getin3949]

If the tamale shop has been there for 78 years you would think they would have redecorated the shop a bit more so it doesn't look so dilapidated and seedy. Looks like a dive.

[@yauhonkeat9891]

Definitely trying the pie , maple leafs

[@nope110]

haggis is amazing i really recommend people try it

[@aristired6252]

1:29 Did she say “grated eggs”?

1:28 is that a hair in the back left corner of the dish?

Lol i work at the Family Dollar down the road from Nick Tahous, Alex shops at our store sometimes for cooking ingredients, nice guy, but suing people over the plate isnt the nicest

i would eat haggis for sure

I am uncomfortable by the plaque because at the end it says “some historians maintain that US soldiers brought tamale recipes home with them from the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) or that tamales date back to indigenous American Indian cultures” like yeah because 1) US was mostly Mexico back in the day 2) don’t steal my tamales they are ours we can share but they aren’t yours you’ve taken enough
