For those who are interested, SPY x FAMILY is loosely based on East / West Germany. Interpreting this dish as a central European stew is about as accurate as it gets.

Question then - how did they get the dish of pork chops in Paw paw sauce at the restaurant? Paw paw is a fruit Indigenous to North America that tastes like banana mango

you can really tell how much alvin loves spy x family from all the jokes and care put into this episode - one of my favorites for sure!

[@darryljack6612]

I love the new segment of Assassinations with Alvin. I learned so much from this video.

[@Nurgle891]

"That's what separates a traditional goulash from something that your mom makes for you." Well, maybe yes but there is actually an old goulash recipe from Vienna called "Fiakergulasch" (horse-drawn carriage goulash), that is nearly the same dish you are cooking here... That's a classic beef goulash with, no joke, Hot Dog Sausages, a sunny side-fried egg and (that one is missing here) pickled gherkin.

[@seihonig5226]

Can confirm. I thought the same thing!

[@emilygillock3803]

That kind of makes sense geographically too, since Spy x Family takes place in what is basically west and east Germany.

[@patrickkoller5017]

Mau hz howi an hunger...

[@fenikso]

Sounds delicious!

[@vibce]

How does a gherkin fit in? When do you add it, what effect does it have?

[@jano1574]

Contrary to what Alvin believes, the traditional Viennese Fiakergulasch does have a Vienna Sausage and fried egg served alongside it! Add to what he made in this video a pickle and it's basically a Fiakergulasch.

[@bpsara]

That’s pretty cool!

[@CircusFoxxo]

If you look at the map of Ostania/Westalis and turn it to match IRL a bit better, Yor is actually from the equivalent region to Vienna (North Ostania translates to Eastern Austria)

[@zachampofo4945]

In an alternate universe, I'm inclined to believe Alvin would be moonlight as a chef and work as an assassin.

You have perfect timing with posting this episode! The other day I was watching Spy x Family and wanted to try to make this dish, but at a loss at where to start as a recipe base. Thanks so much for making this! Also love the little skits you did that mimicked what happened in the episode. Very cute and awesome. :)

[@Megamibunny]

This has been uploaded for a while but due to the anime it’s gotten traction

[@135bpmCoffee]

I actually grew up eating "Würstchen Gulasch" which is made entirely out of hot dogs instead of beef :) If not with hot dogs, it was always half half pork and beef. Much love from Berlin xx

[@Xlaide-]

The “but not for me” in the background had me dying 😂

[@thecarguy403]

Man I love Alvin's jokes from The tasty channel to this Channel he has always been wholesome funny and a great chef 💯

[@MissAlmonster]

I didn’t realize that there were multiple kinds of goulash. Growing up goulash in our home for our family consisted of ground beef, elbow macaroni noodles whatever vegetables we had on hand (peas corn carrots) in a tomato sauce. It was a relatively inexpensive meal to make and we used to make heaps of it and have it for leftovers for a week.

[@pikapuffin368]

Alvin unleashing his chuuni chef for moments like this always makes me smirk

[@stephoz76]

I made this for my family last weekend; it took about 4 hours to complete but it was totally worth it! The flavor is very comforting and the beef was nice and tender.

[@loamaria7981]

Yor's childhoods town is a fictive town in southern Germany, Nielsberg, and seems like Nürnberg and the southern culture in the town. The Swabian Goulash that I eat here looks really like Yor's Goulash. But for acidity usually from Lemon or tomato paste.

[@Version0111]

I couldn't help but notice your minestrone left out all the bones, the garlic, the thin cut beef 🍖, the fish 🐟, I think that label says rock salt, what I can only assume is pepper, the cactus 🌵, and the rope?

[@ChristopherGomez-sw6ue]

I made this myself, it is actually a FANTASTIC recipe. I would definitely recommend adding the hotdogs, they add another dimension of flavor that you otherwise wouldn't have. The only change I would recommend is adding more vegetables, since the amount of liquid you put in there can easily hold more veggies than what he has.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Yes! The one thing Yor cooks that will not have you collapsing in agony on the floor gets a chance to shine!

[@Alex_Mark1]

The stew is actually an Austrian dish, based on the hungarian goulash and is called "Fiaker Gulasch" ;)

[@mfaizsyahmi]

Going from another person's comment on how the setting is loosely based on East/West Germany, this tallies with the dialogue at 3:32 that says this is based on "southern stew" and whaddya know, Austria is south of Germany!

Whenever I see 'gulasch', I'm reminded of the game, Quest for Glory V. Your character stays at Gnome Ann's Inn, where she sadly explains every weird dish you're served in terrifying detail, like salmon pancakes with pistachio cream. When she serves you goulash, the part where she usually explains the dish, she instead says, "You don't want to know. You REALLY don't want to know".

[@VerhoevenSimon]

It's always nice to see you having so much fun with a dish.

[@yoshimibot]

I haven't watched anything from the Babish universe for a while so when I came here I was so confused, it took me a while to figure out who Alvin was and then when I saw his face I recognized him and it made me feel immediately more comfortable since I didn't know how much had changed. Happy to be back, but also Alvin, that was 3 very large carrots, not 2 😋

[@suzannax]

I love all of Anya's expressions

[@neonnwave1]

As someone who is of Italian descent, seeing that sort of take on minestrone makes me glad it was all for laughs. I literally sank into my chair upon seeing an apple and chocolate added to the mix. Never have I seen something so unpleasant since someone put ketchup on pasta. XD

My 7th attempt to ask Alvin to make a dish from my favorite manga/anine of all time: Chuka Ichiban, pretty much the origin of Food Wars. It is an amazing manga that I read as a kid from my parents buying the Vietnamese translations of, and I would be really happy to see one of those dishes to appear in the series!

[@paranoiarpincess]

O.O this is totally an episode just for me! My middle name is Briar Rose. In the ad read, you showed them making “Aurora's Birthday Cake”. Aurora's pseudonym while being raised by the fairies is Briar Rose, one of the names the princess is often given in Sleeping Beauty adaptations, and where my mom got my name from in the first place. On top of that, Yor's last name is Briar.

[@ryannovel8892]

Alvin gonna need his own channel about cooking all Anime Food.... :")

[@deus8576]

Goulash is something we often make in hungary and it's probably the signiture dish of this country. It's mainly eaten with a lot of bread and preferably really sipcy. It's either made out of lamb, pork or beef. All of them tend to turn out well and I highly recommend trying it. When there are large events during the summer, you can probably find some and buy it for pretty cheap. It sets the mood and creates memories.

The sausage and egg aren't that weird in Gulasch. In Austria, we call that "Fiakergulasch", since it was often eaten by horse drawn carriage drivers (Fiaker) in their rare breaks. Though, you usually add a pickle as well.

Hey, cool episode! Just as a "fun fact" from someone from Austria, where we commonly eat Gulasch. Hot Dog/Frankfurt sausages in Gulasch is actually pretty common and "traditional". Check out the "Fiakergulasch", a common variant found in Vienna, which has sausages and pickled cucumbers coming with the dish. it's pretty freaking delicious :)
