a tweak for the Marmite ice cream: make a simple syrup by boiling water and sugar, before the syrup is done add a *conservative* amount of Marmite to it, mix it thoroughly, put the concoction in a squeeze bottle, and stream it into the mixer once the ice cream is done mixing but before you turn it off, freeze and serve once firmly set.

The reason milk products work well for "neutralising" spicy food is because capsaicin is fat soluble so the spice gets washed out of your mouth. I think if you stirred crushed chilli in milk for a while to extract as much of the capsaicin and flavour compounds as possible, then used said milk to make ice cream you could get a more "even" spicy ice cream.

[@Laogeodritt]

Besides the milkfat that you've alluded to, I've also read that casein tends to bind to capsaicin and helps do the same thing. Re: spicy-milk extract, probably best to simmer crushed chili in milk or cream, then chill it again-rate of dissolution and solubility is usually higher at high temperatures for solids. A soak of a few hours could also be effective, though. (Temperature bit isn't true of gases usually-there's a reason fizzy drinks/soda/pop work best cold!)

The flavor was unmistakably Ghost Pepper with its sour, citric tones, and the heat was intense. But we loved it.

One of the staff there took a look at me, thought for a second, felt hilarious that evening and told me: "I'll give you a free large-size cone if you add Sriracha as a topping.'' Being the intrepid and fearless teenager I was, I began spreading mountains of Sriracha BETWEEN the layers of strawberry dessert, after which I had a taste. Honestly, it was kind of awesome.

@@Kharmitas They both still collab but not on the Barshens channel, you can check it on both individual channels. But I assume its harder to do right now because of, well, the current state of the world

[@BLCeee]

@@Kharmitas iirc barshens as a format was cancelled just because it was too expensive

Ah, so their 'will its' will still be coming back when it becomes practical again.

but will it soft serve?

only one way to find out

[@RachelWolfe]

damn, someone else made the really obvious joke I wanted to make

[@Dee_Just_Dee]

3:45 Whoa. As it happens, one of my father's favourite snacks is apple wedges alongside melted cheddar or gouda curds. I've never partaken, but I can definitely see the appeal.

[@CommonOddity_]

I love watching these videos! I LOVE to watch people be creative and excited and dive right into things. It just makes me very happy!!

[@namenamename390]

This feels like the least "Tom Scott plus" video yet. I still really enjoyed this, but Tom seems to be already proficient in the kitchen, and all the other videos here put him firmly out of his comfort zone. But at the same time, creating and then testing slightly unusual ice cream flavours also seems like the perfect content for this channel, so again, I really enjoyed this.

[@matejlieskovsky9625]

I think Tom expected massively worse results, which would kinda make this video fit in better.

[@renyhp]

Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking throughout the whole video.

[@erikkennedy]

I think 'proficient' might be going a little far . . .

[@dhayes5143]

Between this and the coffee, I'm sensing a new channel or at least series here: Tom tastes new food(stuffs).

[@tnk4me4]

I love the idea of this. I have always felt like there aren't enough savory desserts. My favourite dessert to date was a cape milk tart made with chicken flavoured custard and paprika.

[@VeshSneaks]

I love the use of Greensleeves for the montage. Always loved hearing this song in summer when the Ice Cream Van came round

[@kattanakaokopnik5170]

I was startled to see “apple pie with cheddar” described as Yorkshire. Is that where New England (in the US) got the idea? Nifty. (And I’m determined to make a delicious Marmite ice cream now.)

[@ragnkja]

Almost certainly. Cheddar is pretty far from Yorkshire (it’s in Somerset, which is in the southwest of England, whereas Yorkshire is in the northeast), but aged cheese doesn’t have to be sold particularly close to where it’s produced.

[@pjtren1588]

If you're new to Marmite please beware it was one of the evils released onto the world when Pandora broke the seal on the infernal box.

[@d2factotum]

Only way to make Marmite ice cream delicious is not to include the Marmite...

[@kattanakaokopnik5170]

@@pjtren1588 I must confess that I like both Vegemite and Marmite (and this makes me a terrible heretic according to people who are fans of just one) and that I have curiosity about Cenovis (the Swiss version). I liked the Vegemite caramel chocolate bar. But I’m also a big fan of natto. (I’m not making natto ice cream. Even I have limits.)

[@Azeria]

@@ragnkja cheddar is not a protected term, so it can be produced anywhere

Tom making weird ice creams and tasting weird teas with Barry, what a chaotic fun collab. Lol

20:35 Honestly, that looks like a kind of salmon spread that you'd put on those tiny fancy toasts

[@dominiccinimod5686]

23:10 Tom: If you want to make this I recommend this as a flavour Barry: *cough* yep 😐

[@chelseajupiter2103]

These two have such a chemistry that I could watch an entire series of them cooking bad food.

[@MeehaanDoesStuff]

6:30 "Tear Here" is my favorite bit

[@drflavorflave]

We definitely need to see more of this. I love seeing you tackle cooking challenges. I especially loved when you collabed with the sorted food team

[@jcnash02]

I’ve been to the Tabasco factory in Louisiana (the history of the island, gardens, and factory would be a very Tom Scott video). They have a few different Tabasco hot sauce ice creams in the gift shop which you can try and they are all good. I’m not a hot sauce fiend, but I thought they were good!

[@kanchanchaudhary1973]

>(the history of the island, gardens, and factory would be a very Tom Scott video) Then you should suggest it to him!

[@sixuk902]

Tom: I'm indifferent about Marmite. Also Tom: This video.

[@rmsgrey]

The trick to marmite is the quantity. It's very easy to get too much.

[@Codraroll]

@@rmsgrey ... such as anything at all.

[@sedwarg]

I like how Tom claimed to be "indifferent" to Marmite to be edgy but clearly hates it

[@UnitSe7en]

Try mixing Marmite with sweet milk and see how you feel about it then.

[@whannabi]

Love it or hate It I guess

[@beinzheans3918]

"to be edgy" ??????????????????

[@Atticus837]

I love how Tom says he's gonna take a big spoonful and then only puts half of it in his mouth anyway

[@markrobert9915]

I was quite surprised when Tom mentioned a Filipino friend of his telling him about cheddar ice cream! Now I feel like we Filipinos have a connection with Tom! lmao I'm glad that they liked the cheddar cheese ice cream though. It's sold in push carts here in small cones. Fun fact: There is also a chili ice cream in the Philippines!

[@haiji_morie8416]

When I heard that the cheese ice cream came from a Filipino friend, I immediately thought both of Tom's ideas came from the Philippines because of the chili one

[@liesalllies]

A scoop of cheddar ice cream and a scoop of chili ice cream sounds delightful.

[@floramew]

I was not aware KZbin subtitles came in different colors. Thank you so much for your attention to detail, I use the subs to help understand bc I often have audio processing issues. I'm not hard of hearing or deaf-- the hardware is functioning as typical, but the software has a few bugs in the code 😂 so yeah just, thanks!

[@ragnkja]

Same.

[@peterjf7723]

I clicked on subtitles and got the message that subtitles are not available for this video.

[@Kae.the.Selkie]

I recently learned it's a symptom of ADHD. I also need subtitles to process.

The second one you guys made really looked yummy. Salted Yorkshire Apple Pie or Yorkshire Apple Pie with Salted Cheddar.

[@Char-me4qy]

I enjoyed Tom saying “you don’t have to” have a big scoop of hot sauce ice cream, like Sean Evans offering The Last Dab

[@_modnar_]

I am getting heavy "Will it soft serve"-vibes from this episode 😄

[@ES_YV]

Keeping on tapping the left arrow in the beginning on it was so funny.

[@maganatalia8432]

I would love try the hot ice cream. I have always wished for savoury ice cream flavors like bacon, cheese, blue cheese and chilly. 😌

[@MooseZybort]

More of a note for Barry, but the chinese supermarket by the Ikea in Bristol sells cheese and sweetcorn ice cream if you ever wanted some more cheesey ice cream in your life.

[@zorktxandnand3774]

You should call that hot sauce ice cream "Frozen roller coaster" cause once it melts in your mouth it really gets going! Had a good laugh at all the emotions you went through after your first scoop.

[@Emberheart_]

The idea of cheddar or parmesan ice cream isn't so crazy when you think about it. We all love sea-salt caramel ice cream too and the cheesiness would probably blend well into the dairy of the ice cream, making it far less noticeable.

[@SMG2fanatic]

That strawberry ice cream sounds good. The one ice cream with coconut, marshmallow, meringue, AND white chocolate sounds like it it would be waaaaaaaay too sweet

[@lifthras11r]

Oh, Tom perfectly got the Korean food trend where everything is getting hotter and more spicy. He demonstrates that an ice cream is no exception to that.

[@CapriSjonnie]

Haha nice one! Actually though, cutting the chili's up with a food processor will probably make it worse because it will free up all the surface area for the capsaicin to go crazy in your mouth 😂

[@ragnkja]

Adjust the quantity accordingly.

[@TehSlan]

Tip for Barry: If you're trying to disperse a thick liquid ingredient (in this case, Marmite) into an icecream with swirling instead of full mixing, add it in towards the end yes, but add it in through a pastry bag, so it's a clean stream!

[@jferran7276]

Always good when two of the nicest guys on KZbin collab.

[@moomoomachines7193]

You should totally collab with Josh and Ollie from Jolly. They try stuff like this all the time and it’d be an interesting dynamic.
