His voice reminds me of an actor’s, but I can’t quite recall who. Gonna try this, but I think I would just use plain salsa as dipping sauce.

 

[Isabeau]

Jack Black! That’s who he reminds me of!

Yeah first I thought "Mh, just another one in the Mistie Knight category", but actually he's seasoning stuff and knows his way around food. His tattoos are gorgeous, his shoes funny and I like his slow cuts. Also that he's most of the time keeping eye contact.

It shows the typical signs of American cooking: lots of fat and plastic cheese, spraying oil, garlic and onion powder instead of using fresh ones, tons of aluminum foils used. But yeah, it's good!

Yeah, very entertaining and tasty.

Also some comments are just hilarous:
This felt intensely personal. Do I belong to a cult now?

This man grew up in an era when eye contact was a fundamental principle

The way he professionally rolled and then lickity sealed....I am dead . Encore encore

All food channels on youtube are basically cults. Only you're not required to live at a compound, and you don't have to sleep with the leader (unless you're both into it).

413,793 KitKat bars stolen: 'Whilst we appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft is an escalating issue' | Fortune

Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.

Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.

The company, based in Vevey, Switzerland, said in a statement Friday that “the vehicle and its load are still nowhere to be found.”

The shipment of the crunchy bars, made of waffles covered with chocolate, disappeared last week while en route between production and distribution locations. The chocolate bars were to be distributed throughout Europe.

“Whilst we appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft is an escalating issue for businesses of all sizes,” KitKat said in a statement.

Anyone else bothered by the odd number of bars? I would expect a shipment to be a collection of cases with 50 or 100 per, or something along those lines. Did the thieves leave behind an open box with a handful eaten out of it?

There's now a cocoa replacement based on fermented sunflower seeds and oats named Choviva available in Europe, which is now all the rage. Some chocolate manufacturers are already using it, either replacing some of the cocoa or all.

Some people like it, others hate it. As always with such things.

The main key selling points are that it should be more sustainable, since this can all grew over Europe as well much cheaper.

ChoViva: Tasty as chocolate - sustainable as never before

Hurray, the world's first chocolate alternative without cocoa is here! We use ingredients such as ground sunflower seeds and thus save up to up to 80% CO2, with 100% enjoyment.

"ChoViva: Tasty as chocolate"

I'm already suspicious.

I saw something like this on Drew Cooks and thought, yeah, I'm making these next year!

I'd eat the cars and toss the drivers.

Maybe with a Lindt bunny.

These guys are hilarious but I have to agree with their conclusion, (with the exception of the many ethnic foods available in the UK).

OMG, I don't think I could have put either the steak & kidney pie or the jellied eel even near my mouth.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

The US side should have brought White Castle.

I make lots of dishes that toast the pasta. One of my favorites is Lebanon rice, where I toast the rice & vermicelli noodles and then add broth and seasonings. I also add a bit of the pasta water whenever I cook pasta to the sauce that I'm making with it. What he's doing is using the natural starch in the pasta water to form a sauce. I probably would have added a bit of herbs, garlic, black pepper and other seasonings though.

I just used a bit of leftover smoked ham to make a carbonara. It uses hot pasta water and egg for the base of the sauce. Residual heat cooks the egg so it stays creamy instead of scrambled.

I often put the rice in Jambalaya while the pan is still hot from cooking the onion and sausage to toast it a bit.
