@@darrengordon-hillwhy they've ruined their own food, ended up with heavily processed everything, to last forever, sweet, in some cool packaging, because presentation, commercials are the most important thing. Unless it looks how they imaged it to look, they ain't buying it
It's amazing how much flavor something as simple as a potato has if you prepare it properly. Boiled baby potatoes are sweet, creamy, earthy. All they need is a bit of salt, some good quality butter and fresh dill.
Give a hungarian unlimited supply to spices he won't touch it. But give a hungarian an unlimited supply of paprika and sour cream for a day and you'll go bankrupt
Especially with northern European food I think it's often just not something you can casually try. They either serve you a warmed up ready made meal or it's going to be real expensive. Also these "race memes" are pretty much USA exclusive as there's no such "white" identity in Europe. In general USA seems to be obsessed about race and skin colour.
You hit the nail on the head on the last point. There's so many things wrong with the term "white people food" that it's not even funny. It's just the typical yank race wars nonsense. Plus in the majority of cases when these people say "white people food" they actually mean "white American people food"
"there's no such "white" identity in Europe", yeah go in Paris or other ghetto in europe full with immigrants and say that again. Absolute braindead take
I would add that "white people can't do this or that" memes seem to come from white Americans who just want to talk about themselves and disguise it as a self-deprecating joke.
Americans don't seem to understand that there's the difference between "seasoned" as in, cooked with reasonable amount of spices and "seasoned" as in drowned in so much seasoned salt that the food tastes like an average League of Legends match.
I think the Italian cuisine does this the best. I saw people dissing them for "using only 2 or 3 ingredients" but that is exactly the point of their cuisine. If you put 2, 3, 4 things in an Italian dish, you MUST be able to taste all of the ingredients with every bite... what is the purpose of using 10 ingredients and 50 spices if you only feel the flavor from 3 of them... it's a waste of resource. Not to mention that some cuisines have dishes that taste 95% the same due to the overuse of a certain spice or mix of spices... As was pointed out in the video, spices should be used to enhance the flavors of the actual ingredients, not cover them.

Seasoning salts are for people who don't know how to cook. "Americans don't seem to understand" is a pretty stupid fucking way to begin a sentence. We have some of the best food in the world. Foreigners love our food.

If any of you are travelling in America, do your best to eat only at locally owned restaurants. It won't be a complete escape from industrially produced slop, but the core of their dishes will generally be pretty good. Maybe even healthy, provided it isn't something fried. Yeah, we badly need similar food regulations as to what Europeans have. That way the regional variety of foods across the states can really shine unobscured by high fructose corn syrup and chemicals that could mummify a small dog.
It could be worse, I had junk foods and candies in Japan and they are even worse for you. Japan still hasn't banned Trans fat or Red#2 coloring. While it is true the junk food in Europe is healthier than in the US or Japan, you are still eating junk food
Honestly, when I was in AMerica, I remember the steakhouses were amazing. And American BBQ food is also usually great. But places that sell good quality food are usually expensive
@@walkelftexasranger When I visit my sister and her husband in America and eat the stuff they eat, the bread taste like bread. Didn't taste like "wheat candy." We over exaggerate what the Americans food is and same goes for their own people who self hate on their own stuff. Surprised me at all the foreigners there that complain about the stuffs and yet take advantage of the said things they are complaining about and when I ask them why no return to their home country, they make up bogus nonsense as why not going back home.
I think what bothers me more about the whole white/poc food debate in the US is the smugness. They'll trash European food all day without considering *any* cultural or historical subtext of the people that made the food what it is. And obviously it's fine to have preferences but I've seen so many videos of youtubers trying things and their critique of "white" people food is always verging on the side of spiteful for no reason other than their stupid culture/race war. The past few years there's been a rise in defending Chinese American cuisine (like panda express) and people will state how this type of food was made by male workers who were alone, didn't have the knowledge of how to cook elaborately like their wives/mothers, didn't have access to ingredients and needed something fast and preferably able to be carried to work. And that's great. we should be acknowledging the past and "honouring" it (sorry, don't remember the specific word needed here). And this goes on with most cultures, which is great to see. However, the people that are now defending immigrant food don't extend the same courtesy to ANY European cuisine bc it's white, and... ok? Sorry that we have different ways of cooking? Sorry that we're not from a place that could geographically produce the spices *you* want to eat for you to.. idk, respect us? Like us? Idk why any European would care about being liked by any Northern American but anyway- Being proud of your cuisine is one thing, we're all competitive in Europe and everywhere in the world with everything, especially our food. But like, being so smug about who seasons their food the most is such a weird thing to be so passionate about? And the stupidest hill to die on? Literally no one is forcing you to eat it, why are we even having this discussion, pls get a hobby. Also, the "white" thing is so recent in a historical context since only the Anglosaxons were considered white till less than a 100 years ago. You had Italians, Greeks, IRISH, Central and Eastern Europeans who were considered less than dogs, much less "white" so this whole thing becomes even funnier when you sit on it for more than a second.

The racism towards "white" people is just a leftover of Soviet propaganda that has become popular with neo-socialists in academia and CCP controlled Tik-tok. It's part of the whole victim-hood mentality that people who don't like work and responsibility are drawn to.
when people say "white people food" it's almost always in the context of the US, that's where all the racial tension is with each one trying to up the other. everyone knows the german,italian,spanish,french cuisines and their wide variety of food
Yeah but Americans don't have their own cuisine to begin with, just variations of other cultures, which is ironic given where the major part of the country's population came from. They have their distinct mentality and cultures and stuff but somehow their "national" cuisine is defined by pizza, burgers and barbecue. People make fun of Americans for saying "white people food" exactly because of this.
@@toxihex876 America does have some unique cuisines, it's just that they're all localized. We have Clam chowder, but that's mostly down in Maryland. Jambalaya is a Louisiana specialty, and Maine is famous for its lobster. Other than that though, I can't think about anything else...
america is obsessed with race and identity, they have to generalize and categorize every single people group on this planet if youre bosnian well too bad!! youre white therefore your cuisine is just another "white people" cuisine or in other words bad this mentality will never go away
Outside europe, we mostly associate white people with Americans since they're the most vocal on media. It also does not help that lots of international franchises (from fast food to hotels) that came to our country are also came from the US, and we take their cuisine as a general example of what they have back home. And, let's just say, their foods are not suitable for our taste
Who'd be hating on "white people food"? Hello? Italy? France? Spain? Greece? They're world famous for food. And that's not to get into German bread, Scandinavian fish. And that's just the "famous" food places... Balkans, eastern europe, Georgia I swear people (too often americans) making ethnic groupings based on skin colour is so ignorant
That's because many people in America seem like they lost their identity outside their race. With identity went culture and good food It's not just an issue for white people. Black people also suffer from it. They often don't get to say things like "my great great great great great grandma was German therefore I'm German" Obviously it's not true for everyone. USA enables various cultures to mix and create new, exciting things like California sushi. The issue is that many, again, white people decided that minorities are scary and fled big cities That and shitty city planning caused city degradation which is not very good for culture Tl;dr Racism destroys everything
svíčková is traditional Czech sauce made from root vegetables and heavy cream, served with a beef slice and bread dumplings. Even tough it is not seasoned, it has strong taste and foreigners enjoy it very much
same as slovak halušky with bryndza ,fun fact most chineese and japanese tourists end up after eating it bloated and with constipation in ER because they cant metabolise so much wheat gluten ,potato starch casseine and fat combined in one dish .Truly remarkable that our national dish can harm someone ngl .
It's still amazing to me that some people don't understand that proper processing of ingredients through cooking methods and technique ARE the flavor enhancers in a dish. Aside from salt, if you're a good chef, you can work wonders with everything without relying on powdered spices.
The only thing we Europeans are more fond of other than deciding who of us is has the best culture on the continent is collectively agreeing that our cultures are better than whatever the US comes up with
Hard to judge which cuisine is best, since it depends on situation. Want quick tasty and easy to make food? Italian is the way. You want to make fancy dinner for whole family? Slavic food is great choice. You want to eat MEAT? Scandinavians got your back.
Dozens of countries in the new world and you guys hyper focus on the only one with a bigger economy, more influence on entertainment and global politics. Anyone who isn't from Europe just sees this as desperate. You are as bad as the US now is whining about China passing them
Random American: White people can't do spices, ah ah funni My father always told me about that one time when, on a job trip, a Mexican guy he used to work with tried Cren (a North Italian and southern Germanic horseradish-based spicy sauce)... Well... The dude was crying... Let's say he underestimated the spicy capabilities of Italian food... I think I saw a similar thing happen on a food TH-cam thingy with 'Nduja (A calabrese soft salami paste which is preserved thanks to the fact that it's heavily spiced with south Italian chilli pepper, to the point that it's deep red), with similar results...
@@ВиталийКотиков-т5э Ah, yes! The good ol' hardy mustard mixed with horseradish... it will give wasabi a run for its money (and yes, I know horseradish and wasabi are related). It's also quite popular throughout the Slavic countries and the Balkans as well.
In the Netherlands a lot of people love extremely spicy food. You can buy very hot peppers imported or grown in greenhouses like Carolina reaper or Scorpion peppers, there is hot sauce everywhere. I have in my cupboard, tabasco, sriracha sauce, sambal, chili peppers, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce my brother makes from Scorpion peppers which is very spicy. Because of our colonial history wit Indonesia and Suriname, peppers and spicy food have been part of our cuisine for a long time.
I was working in Copenhagen with Mexican guy for the last year and he was leaving 2 months ago, we were talking a lot about our cusines, Mexican and Polish and he was curious about it, so before he left I bought him "Chrzan" which you call "Cren", because for me it is one of the tastes of my national cusine, I did not talk with him about his experience with it though. I should call him some time
The whole "White people" thing is an Americanisation of language. There's no such thing as a "White" identity in Europe and people who apply the "White people" joke on Europe are simply misguided. The irony is though, to us Asians we generally DO just see you all as a monolith like you guys do with us, but "Western" food has always been seen as pretty delicious, though stereotypical, but never bland. Point is, the "bland white people food" thing is ironically an American idea, a country that's majority white where you'd think there'd be more nuance.
@@MW_Asura I think when most or at least some of us think of Asians, we mostly think about East/South-East Asians even though the other two groups also live on the Asian continent. And so do whites.
@@MW_Asura goes true for the US too I think, no one calls Indian or Arab "Asian" food. ig this is another example of Americanisation PS: might just be a western, rather than American thing to call the the orient Asia, but it definitely became more common because of the US
going by the 2nd half of the video, chinese cuisine (by extension, the cuisine of my country vietnam) actually also cook up flavours using cooking technique (stir fry, stew, soup, braise, steam, marinating, pickling,...) & "spice" herbs (leek, onion, scallion, garlic, ginger, pepper, basil, dill,...) basically the same as the european style of cooking described in the video by extension, the japanese fish preparation technique at 5:38 is also a technique and not reliant on spice - japanese cuisine doesn't have any more spice than most european cuisines do
It sucks having traditional American cooking be commodified and and altered for mass consumption. There are many great American dishes and styles if you are willing to look. Chicken Divan (with cranberry sauce) comes to mind. A lot of good American food comes from New England, and England itself being our original stock. New England clam chowder and Maine lobster roles comes to mind.
Traditional american barbeque is German in origin with Creole being French. In fact you can tell what peoples settled what region of the USA by our foods. And yes actual american cuisine is criminally underrated. Butter milk biscuits, with fried chicken, mashed potatoes an gravy, green peas, and apple pie with vanilla ice cream is perfection.
I don't know I don't think it's even possible to just characterize every person with a light skin tone as "white people". I consider them an American category. Because in Europe everyone cooks wildly different. If anything I'm surprised people don't shit on traditional Jewish foods, that shit is vile
True that. I haven't lived in the Balkans although I did live in Styria, Austria a few years...now I'm in London I'm lucky that there is a Balkan (i.e. ex-Yugoslavia, not Bulgarian or Romanian) supermarket 10 minutes away.
@nguyenchau2765 Year after year people risk their lives in order to experience the glorious taste of mushrooms It's so easy to misidentify them but nobody cares Anyone who believes that everything should be privatized is an enemy of common people. Since our forests belong to the state we can do mushroom hunting whenever we want. That's the real freedom
Good point, mushrooms are big ij EU cuisine. Easy to grow, quite filling, and delicious when prepared well. Many many types too, don't know them in English but there are at least 10 widely available 'breeds'.
America does have good food, but most is traditional, and not the modern processed food everyone thinks of. I live in rural Appalachia in Virginia and me and my family have a garden and get all our meat (including our own hunted venison) from our local area, and the things you can do with that, wether smoked venison/pork rolls, or fresh banana or zucchini bread, or homemade barbecue with homemade sauce, or a freshly baked trout I caught from a local river. Any of these things will have fresh applesauce, a variety of homemade canned vegetables/fruits, maybe some egg noodles (which yeah we got from the Germans), and for dessert maybe a homemade apple pie or peach cobbler baked in a Dutch oven, or maybe a dessert dish called “Baked Apples” (not the baked apples you’re probably thinking of) that my step mom from New England introduced to my families southern diet. The big takeaway from American food is that it comes from all over the world either Europe, Africa via slaves, Asia, or even the Indians (which btw they were the ones to invent barbecue, not black people). America is a rich and diverse land and we take the best ideas from all the people that live in this great American melting pot.
A major factor is that European food got shafted harder by modern industrial food processing. If you make European food with inferior ingredients you often get slop, other foods turn out at least passable.
That's basically every example of bad British cuisine that people like to shit on, it's either from someone who can't cook, a shitty cheap restaurant, or someone who tried the recipe from low quality cuts of meat from places like Walmart. Roasts and Fish 'N' Chips are amazing if done with good ingredients and attention to detail.
It's easier to hide poor ingredients if you cover them in spices. That's not a testament to the quality of non-western cuisines, rather that they are mostly just about spices and chilies rather than quality.
@@KJRUSS0 Most of the things people joke about with British food are usually enjoyed mainly by poor urban communities who were making due with anything they could get their fingers on, the same people who'll call us idiots for eating crisp butties and beans on toast will then proceed to defend baloney sandwiches and butter noodles as if their poverty food is more valid than ours.
There's a difference between traditional european food and fucked up process food combination nightmares in the US. For example, making a bread using a tin of tomato soup. Or putting everything in aspic or gelatin. Or more recently, just poverty meals.
And let’s not forget America too has its own variety of food cultures and histories, from the clam chowder, fried clams, apple cider donuts, & lobster rolls (Connecticut or Maine style) of New England, to the smoky & flavorful briskets and pulled pork of southern barbecue, to the sheer seasoning and flavor of Louisiana Cajun, American cuisine isn’t just 50’s era meatloafs, casseroles, and whatever is on the McDonalds menu.
@@alejandrotellez2962 Its more of a tragedy, really. And not for just the americans, they just suffer more from it. Food industrialization. Just pick up whatever, it will be bland and nowhere near fresh food, no need to make your own stuff when you can just save some time and buy pre-made, preferably at discount.
In Europe, we've actually forgotten a lot of our traditional cousine. Like, snails used to be traditional old bohemian food. Nowadays, if you say that to people, they think you're mad. Also, a huge variations of sweet and salty kaše, and much much more.
I feel like lots of people although they eat dishes from more countries are less willing to have different foods. Most people will basically only eat chicken, lamb, beef, pork and maybe goat their entire lives, when there are so many other options for food e.g. rabbits, pigeons, and even things like flowers or seaweed which European people have eaten for millennia but have been forgotten to time
@@urmother212 Some people will have 6 dogs, all called Bucky ;) We are creatures of habit. Most of us eat and cook those same few dishes we know all the time I'd say.
1:08 is the most inaccurate meme because anyone who eats deer and is named meemaw is the best damn cook this side of the Mississippi and invented half the spices in her cabinet
I think you have to also understand, historically in the US "white" was generally reserved for Anglo-Saxon people. Eastern, Southern, Central European, along with most Latin speaking, all Jewish (regardless of race) and Irish communities were not identified as being "white". That is why in the US you had Irish neighborhoods, Greek neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods. They were separated culturally from what American people identified them as today. The new concept of European = White person is a concept that changed less than 100 years ago. A Slovenian person, as an example would have been identified as a "non white/other" in a historical context in the US/America.
@@raltzei8120 It is interesting how the definition of black or white frequently changes on a dime I have for example seen American Black-Supremacists accuse East Asians of being white, and even telling actual Africans (like actual Zulus) that they aren't really black. Similarly, I saw Spanish and Portuguese people being told to their face by Americans that they are not white, even tho the same Americans would bitch about white colonists conquering South America.

I grew up in Portugal in a fishing town and the one thing that people emphasise is "freshness of ingredients", especially when it comes to fish and other seafood. If it's fresh, all you need is a little bit of salt and lemon when grilling fish.
Whenever I see people eating with a bunch of sauces I'm thinking how tasteless their ingredients must have been. In Greece we also eat basic but fresh.
the challenge though is keeping things edible and tasty if freshness is not an option year-round. Most of us aren't spoiled with Portuguese climate and have to dry, smoke, pickle and ferment stuff so as not to starve for half the year. At best that can even add to the flavour. At worst... well... surstromming...
@@dionb5276I don't think anyone would disagree with drying, smoking or fermenting food. I believe we're talking here about chemical preservatives, artificial coloring or flavor enhancements that makes pretty much non edible foods, edible. Also I believe in Portugal, similarly to Greece where I live, they don't have good weather all year around and those traditional food preservation techniques are also practiced.
@KateeAngel yes but nobody has taken food to the autistic maximum like the french did. That's why every single cuisine on this planet has been influenced to some degree by the French. Including, all the countries that were never colonised by them. Maybe the flavours weren't always adopted, the technique and theory were. For example, most of Japanese culinary art has French influences everywhere. "When the Meiji era began in 1868, the emperor put an end to Japan's autarky and sent emissaries to the West to steal the best of what was being done in order to move toward modernity. France became a role model in terms of gastronomy." I'm not French btw. So praising them hurts me.
@@KateeAngel "Other countries think European cuisines like French and Italian are very popular. Must be colonialism." It always must be colonialism doesn't it?
@@mishXY French cuisine came into fashion when the aristocracy got a head shorter and their cooks needed a new income, so they opened restaurants. And when they came to Japan, Japan said " I accept the challenge and I will do everything to beat you in you own game" And thus, the wine nation and the sake nation began an never-ending war for culinary excellence. The butter bender first seemed to win, but when all seemed lost, a lone traveler from the ice fishing nation brought the sushi scrolls to the sake nation, a mighty weapon that allowed the wasabi benders to conquer even the mysterious bbq nation. 😂

No. Don't bring this shit in here. British roast dinner is nothing but overcooked pieces of meat covering their dryness with mint/cranberry sauce and gravy.

Well that's the problem with European cuisine. One hour drive and it's somewhat different. Even within one country. Mentioning all the national cuisines and staple dishes would take forever 😉
As an Indian I never understood the "White People" food thing . I still remember my trip to Italy where I had actual pizza and pasta dishes and they were delicious ..
Thank goodness we have Polish shops and even a Polish section in my local Tesco where I can buy these ready made and they're not even expensive. Also I always buy ham from the Polish shop or section in Tescos, way better than water injected British ham.

when people think of American food, they mainly think of the north, with more industry. There is southern comfort foods, which utilize a lot of the European techniques, combine with African and Mexican techniques to produce a rich flavor that is unique to the south and west.
I think it comes down to: european food is generally seen as """normal""" so only fringe or low tier food associated. You don't say "I love chinese food!" and think about fermented eggs
Or a piece of boiled chicken served with plain white rice, for that matter. Often times, people end up comparing their mother/grandmother's questionable home cooking with restaurant food.
Great video, I never understood the hatred some people have for "white people food", in itself a ridiculous term if you ask me, there are huge differences within European countries. I am Dutch, living in Italy and the two kitchens are really different, though I love both. One thing though, none of the ingredients you mention for carbonara are actually in it, though those ingredients would make for a great tasting pasta dish. Carbonara is: guanciale, pecorino and egg yolk (I've seen egg white as well) and pasta water to make it into a sauce.
Yeah I love Greek food. Unlike the French food I used to make at work which is very elaborate, the Greeks have great ingredients so they don't need to overcomplicate their recipes, the ingredients speak for themselves. Compare a Greek salad with big chunky cut ingredients, even Feta ripped apart by hand, simply with salt, olive oil and lemon juice, to a French Nicoise with a vinaigrette, all of which takes 10 times as long to make. Both are great but I do the Greek salad at home in summer, not the French one.
Bruh yes, these uncultured Americans who make “white people food” jokes probably have never tried Greek food. Or they don’t deem Greeks white. Either way, cringe.
@@simonh6371Greek salad eating tips: take a piece of bread and dip it in the salad. The combination of olive oil, tomato juice and vinegar is ungodly. You can also put feta on the bread if you want to go the extra step.
"White People Food" IS the nitpicked example you showed. It's the War Time/depression era food that has lasted for far too long and is kinda depressing to eat. And the elitest flip flop between "season your chicken" and "Don't cover up the taste of the *blank* with spices" will last as long as culturally distinct food exists.
Taking canned chilli and putting it over overcooked noodles and calling it "authentic spaghetti bolognaise" is culturally insensitive.

Plenty of people who use this meme know that cultures we consider white have cuisine and distinct flavors that have broad appeal. And the "joke" is pointing out how "whiteness" actively removes culture from the food itself and turns it into half made slop trying to emulate culture. And like all memes the context is run into the ground devolving into "Lmao season your food." and people on both sides of it have used that to be genuinely rude.
@@wyqtor .....Yeah WHY WASN'T THERE SCHNITZEL ?! That's like one of the essencial Europien food next to pizza or the fuck ton of pastries that are from here.
I am stew loving dutchie who's also a bushcrafter en history nerd. North West European cooking is obviously a product of it's geography. If I think about typical dishes I don't even include potatoes, because they are fairly new. I'm thinking of things like oats, rye, hazelnuts, butter, cheese, salted fishes and meats with seasonal addition of fruits like apples, brambles, raspberries and lots and lots of greens, from nettles, dandelions and rumex to brasicas to things like young birch or beech leaves. Because the growing season is so short, you have loads and loads of things that are only available for 2-4 weeks a year and dont make it into the wider culture or if they do, in a bastardized form, like marsh-mallows. The marsh-mallow was originally a plant whose stem was roasted. Before the age of cheap sugar we had a whole variety of sweet tasting plants we have forgotten about. Also ecological degradation played an enormous role. Orchids used to be so common that a drink was made from them called saloop, which was an alernative to tea or coffee (it's still common in Turkey and middle east. All in all, there's so much interesting things but it all tastes less intense or sweet than we are used to.
Hungarian food cuisine's main pillar is pörkölt. You can make lot of different food starting from pörkölt, also you change sides easily. Sides can be pasta, crepes, cabbage, főzelék, potatoes and nokedli for example, adding more water to your pörkölt, you starting make some kind of soup, adding any different veggies will result different types of soup. Also, you can use veggie based pörkölt (like lecsó), or if you feel fancy, adding to your pörkölt little amount of veggie (like peas or mushrooms) or sour cream for different experience. Also, if you mix your fried potato cubes with pörkölt, you made brassói.
Paprykarz is also a traditional Polish cuisine but it looks different from Hungarian Paprykas. It's a traditional fish paste with sweet pepper By "traditional" I mean it was created in the 60s and by "Polish" I mean Szczecin - the most Polish city in the world

With authentic Italian tomato pasta, it turns out, that type of pasta relies on how good the tomatoes are. So not very flavour explosion, just some tart tomato....

"Uses more subtle spices so as to highlight the flavour of the ingredients and specialises in the freshness of the ingredients and the style of cooking." Literally the description of Cantonese cuisine.
One technique that should be mentioned is *marinating.* People who hate on chicken breasts have never tasted a properly marinated piece of chicken. The secret is adding something acidic (be it lemon juice or yogurt) to the marinade in order to soften up the meat. Of course, much like with pickling, marinating meat makes it last longer once it is cooked. Just compare eating an unmarinated chicken breast a day after it was grilled, with a marinated one, and you will see which is still delicious. Oh, right, a bit of sugar in a marinade really helps with caramelization, if you want that.
i marinate my chicken with pineapples and salt for short time (45 minutes) and the chicken is really damn tender when cooked but unfortunately its needed to be griled or make a satay out of it. and cant be cooked in big piece needs to cooked in a small pieces
@@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028 its the most practical thing to do in here because its cheap and can make into the large batch. but yeah you cant fry it or even boil it.
@@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028 Even better - it contains Bromelain, and aside from the rad name of this stuff, it also breaks down protein ("makes it tender"). This stuff is potent, and pineapple actully immediately begins to attack your flesh inside your mouth as soon as you put it there.
I have travelled the world and found out that in all parts of the world people are not idiots and they know what is good and how to prepare it. UK, South America, all over Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, everywhere I found splendid food (but not only). You eat the best whereever non processed ingredients are beeing used. Which are hard to find in the US, with its not health-, but profit-centered food laws. Locally owned eaterys are hard to find there, but they are the places to go.

I live in the UK, and can honestly say that I've never heard of nettle seeds being used as a seasoning in any dish I've ever heard of before, which is odd because nettle teaused to be a thing, and our countryside is absolutely covered in the stuff during summer. I'll have to keep my eye out, I'm curious now!
in spring, make soup with the stuff. Get a bagfull of fresh nettle, boil leaves briefly in vegetable stock (with carrot, celery and onion bouquet garni if you want to be fancy). Give it a blitz with an immersion blender, add some cream and you have a fresh, quick delicious lunch.
Ask the seasoning police about their culture's dairy products, cheeses and/or baked goods and watch as they clutch their chicken over the kitchen sink trying to think of an answer.
Yes I'm sure you eat brie cheese and drink milk for lunch and dinner. Also Asia uses dairy a lot, and Mediterranean Europeans are the best at making the things you mentioned (whom are usually excluded from the meme, as the meme is usually aimed at WASPs and people of northern European heritage)
In my opinion, good European food is also supposed to match with a good wine or beer. Spicy food simply does not fulfil this condition and in many other parts of the world it´s not as common to have those drink with a meal.

You mentioned the 5 mother sauces from France, fair enough, though those are a baseline and are further tweaked to become something greater. What is very unmentioned is the use of stocks, broths, wine, vinegars and various liquors. Europe loves its soups & stews after all. Salads can be a mini series on its own, too much going on.

@@tetovazamarcelabrozovica3392 Apart from the dishes listed by Aeronaut, there are many other which have been lost in time and forgotten. Fidgetty Pie from Shropshire for example. The reason for this was more the Industrial Revolution than WW2 rationing, at that time most people became disconnected from their lives on the land, and moved to cities, where they depended on food available in shops, which didn't have refrigeration. So would you prefer if we had continued eating good hearty peasant food in Britain, and not have had the industrial revolution? Without that, you wouldn't be able to comment on this vid, or drive places, or travel by train or aeroplane. So you should be thankful we Brits made that sacrifice.

@@mikaela43523 It's dog shit compared to even just its other immediate neighbours in the Isles. Food from the mainland easily blows it out of the water.
My 2 Favourite food (Since I am Bosnian) are Ćevapi alongside Roasted Onions and Ajvar. Then there is pečenica,the smoked pork meat that is dried,served with some nice bread and cheese and you got yourself a fast breakfast. Ahhh I can remember when I went to see my father in the small dark hut,only to be meet with a giant smoke fume that I don't regret smelling good. Its also funny to see people from other countries inside Europe or outside get shocked as to how good it tastes. One example I can think of is my Favourite Croatian Dish called Girice. A super tiny fish that can be eaten whole,alongside some sauces and dipping too. I really need to go back as taste em again.

5. Patience and time to prepare everything the way it's meant to be prepared (my meat soup starts with 2 hours of simmering, and sometimes an extra hour if I forget to check it - some people make soup quickly, so they serve it by the time I add salt and root veggies) 6. Ingredients ;)
Chinese cuisine today within China. I keep seeing gutter oil, wet markets with live rodents and other questionable animals and straight up fake food that's either injected or sprayed on with a dye. But if I'd bring this up I'd be a racist and close minded.
that's literally the same if not far worse as people (mostly americans) saying that "white" food is just burgers and slop which is true for americans since 1. processed food is cheaper 2. processed food is poisoned to hell with additives whereas geniuses would watch one China Uncensored video and for some reason find it perfectly logical to say "yup, china is in such poverty that they all have to eat sewage and literal rocks to survive, obviously they are poorer than africa"
the fact that you did not mention greek cuisine which is arguably the best of the best and one of the most rich cuisines of the world is kind of crazy, i mean yes you can only eat actual greek food in just greece italy turkey and the balkans and it is not spread world wide but cmon, its class
Saying "Europe's climate" is like saying "America's climate" tho. That's like asking "what is the temperature in Europe?" or "what is the temperature in USA?".
I love Bigos and Borsch but there are a lot of great recipes. One of my favorite fastfood items is the German "currywurst". Sausage with a ketchupish tomato sauce falvored with mild curry powder and served together with French fries and mayonnaise. Though other food items like blood sausage might turn off some people but they just taste so good. That said, if you buy cayenne pepper in a German or Austrian grocery store it is going to be a lot milder than what you would expect. Even chillies differ in quality. If I go to spar (grocery store in Austria) and I buy some fresh habaneros they will still not be as spicy as the ones I get from an Asian store. Some Asian restaurants actually do have the spice option of Asian or white 😂
Take the Hungarians for example and their subtle, almost divine touch with paprika.. perfection that can only be improved up on with cream, not any cream - sour cream ofcourse..
I really enjoy how you characterize what is on screen or what you're saying at the time with music. I really enjoy your style of videos in general but the editing really does keep it engaging. Every time I only intend to half listen while I'm working I find myself just completely locked in to your vids. Very good!

Especially with northern European food I think it's often just not something you can casually try.
They either serve you a warmed up ready made meal or it's going to be real expensive.
Also these "race memes" are pretty much USA exclusive as there's no such "white" identity in Europe. In general USA seems to be obsessed about race and skin colour.
You hit the nail on the head on the last point.
There's so many things wrong with the term "white people food" that it's not even funny. It's just the typical yank race wars nonsense. Plus in the majority of cases when these people say "white people food" they actually mean "white American people food"
"there's no such "white" identity in Europe", yeah go in Paris or other ghetto in europe full with immigrants and say that again. Absolute braindead take
What do you mean with not something you can casually try? Like Restaurant food?
They should just come up with a new term for Northern american whites
I would add that "white people can't do this or that" memes seem to come from white Americans who just want to talk about themselves and disguise it as a self-deprecating joke.
Americans don't seem to understand that there's the difference between "seasoned" as in, cooked with reasonable amount of spices and "seasoned" as in drowned in so much seasoned salt that the food tastes like an average League of Legends match.
I think the Italian cuisine does this the best. I saw people dissing them for "using only 2 or 3 ingredients" but that is exactly the point of their cuisine. If you put 2, 3, 4 things in an Italian dish, you MUST be able to taste all of the ingredients with every bite... what is the purpose of using 10 ingredients and 50 spices if you only feel the flavor from 3 of them... it's a waste of resource. Not to mention that some cuisines have dishes that taste 95% the same due to the overuse of a certain spice or mix of spices...
As was pointed out in the video, spices should be used to enhance the flavors of the actual ingredients, not cover them.

If any of you are travelling in America, do your best to eat only at locally owned restaurants. It won't be a complete escape from industrially produced slop, but the core of their dishes will generally be pretty good. Maybe even healthy, provided it isn't something fried. Yeah, we badly need similar food regulations as to what Europeans have. That way the regional variety of foods across the states can really shine unobscured by high fructose corn syrup and chemicals that could mummify a small dog.
Just for fun I once bought American toast bread (white bread) and man that shit isn't bread, that's wheat candy...
It could be worse, I had junk foods and candies in Japan and they are even worse for you. Japan still hasn't banned Trans fat or Red#2 coloring. While it is true the junk food in Europe is healthier than in the US or Japan, you are still eating junk food
Honestly, when I was in AMerica, I remember the steakhouses were amazing. And American BBQ food is also usually great. But places that sell good quality food are usually expensive
Ok
@@walkelftexasranger When I visit my sister and her husband in America and eat the stuff they eat, the bread taste like bread. Didn't taste like "wheat candy." We over exaggerate what the Americans food is and same goes for their own people who self hate on their own stuff. Surprised me at all the foreigners there that complain about the stuffs and yet take advantage of the said things they are complaining about and when I ask them why no return to their home country, they make up bogus nonsense as why not going back home.
I think what bothers me more about the whole white/poc food debate in the US is the smugness. They'll trash European food all day without considering *any* cultural or historical subtext of the people that made the food what it is. And obviously it's fine to have preferences but I've seen so many videos of youtubers trying things and their critique of "white" people food is always verging on the side of spiteful for no reason other than their stupid culture/race war.
The past few years there's been a rise in defending Chinese American cuisine (like panda express) and people will state how this type of food was made by male workers who were alone, didn't have the knowledge of how to cook elaborately like their wives/mothers, didn't have access to ingredients and needed something fast and preferably able to be carried to work. And that's great. we should be acknowledging the past and "honouring" it (sorry, don't remember the specific word needed here). And this goes on with most cultures, which is great to see.
However, the people that are now defending immigrant food don't extend the same courtesy to ANY European cuisine bc it's white, and... ok? Sorry that we have different ways of cooking? Sorry that we're not from a place that could geographically produce the spices *you* want to eat for you to.. idk, respect us? Like us? Idk why any European would care about being liked by any Northern American but anyway-
Being proud of your cuisine is one thing, we're all competitive in Europe and everywhere in the world with everything, especially our food. But like, being so smug about who seasons their food the most is such a weird thing to be so passionate about? And the stupidest hill to die on? Literally no one is forcing you to eat it, why are we even having this discussion, pls get a hobby.
Also, the "white" thing is so recent in a historical context since only the Anglosaxons were considered white till less than a 100 years ago. You had Italians, Greeks, IRISH, Central and Eastern Europeans who were considered less than dogs, much less "white" so this whole thing becomes even funnier when you sit on it for more than a second.
considering that yankees eat exclusively fast food trash and think vegetables are the literal satan
also thumbnail features mostly russian photos where people earn 150$ once per two months before taxes bills and clothes
race was created by hitler's friends
The racism towards "white" people is just a leftover of Soviet propaganda that has become popular with neo-socialists in academia and CCP controlled Tik-tok. It's part of the whole victim-hood mentality that people who don't like work and responsibility are drawn to.
No one is trashing European food lmao they just make fun of you brain rots Americans lmao.
exactly
when people say "white people food" it's almost always in the context of the US, that's where all the racial tension is with each one trying to up the other. everyone knows the german,italian,spanish,french cuisines and their wide variety of food
Yeah but Americans don't have their own cuisine to begin with, just variations of other cultures, which is ironic given where the major part of the country's population came from. They have their distinct mentality and cultures and stuff but somehow their "national" cuisine is defined by pizza, burgers and barbecue. People make fun of Americans for saying "white people food" exactly because of this.
This. It's yank culture wars nonsense mixed with good ol' American defaultism and ignorance, a deadly combo
@@toxihex876 America does have some unique cuisines, it's just that they're all localized. We have Clam chowder, but that's mostly down in Maryland. Jambalaya is a Louisiana specialty, and Maine is famous for its lobster. Other than that though, I can't think about anything else...
america is obsessed with race and identity, they have to generalize and categorize every single people group on this planet
if youre bosnian well too bad!! youre white therefore your cuisine is just another "white people" cuisine or in other words bad
this mentality will never go away
Outside europe, we mostly associate white people with Americans since they're the most vocal on media. It also does not help that lots of international franchises (from fast food to hotels) that came to our country are also came from the US, and we take their cuisine as a general example of what they have back home. And, let's just say, their foods are not suitable for our taste
Who'd be hating on "white people food"?
Hello? Italy? France? Spain? Greece? They're world famous for food. And that's not to get into German bread, Scandinavian fish. And that's just the "famous" food places... Balkans, eastern europe, Georgia
I swear people (too often americans) making ethnic groupings based on skin colour is so ignorant
I think it’s specifically American
It's almost always Americans doing it because of their r*ce wars
That's because many people in America seem like they lost their identity outside their race. With identity went culture and good food
It's not just an issue for white people. Black people also suffer from it. They often don't get to say things like "my great great great great great grandma was German therefore I'm German"
Obviously it's not true for everyone. USA enables various cultures to mix and create new, exciting things like California sushi. The issue is that many, again, white people decided that minorities are scary and fled big cities
That and shitty city planning caused city degradation which is not very good for culture
Tl;dr
Racism destroys everything
They aren’t white they’re just their own countries

It's still amazing to me that some people don't understand that proper processing of ingredients through cooking methods and technique ARE the flavor enhancers in a dish. Aside from salt, if you're a good chef, you can work wonders with everything without relying on powdered spices.

My father always told me about that one time when, on a job trip, a Mexican guy he used to work with tried Cren (a North Italian and southern Germanic horseradish-based spicy sauce)... Well... The dude was crying... Let's say he underestimated the spicy capabilities of Italian food...
I think I saw a similar thing happen on a food TH-cam thingy with 'Nduja (A calabrese soft salami paste which is preserved thanks to the fact that it's heavily spiced with south Italian chilli pepper, to the point that it's deep red), with similar results...

@@ВиталийКотиков-т5э Ah, yes! The good ol' hardy mustard mixed with horseradish... it will give wasabi a run for its money (and yes, I know horseradish and wasabi are related). It's also quite popular throughout the Slavic countries and the Balkans as well.
In the Netherlands a lot of people love extremely spicy food. You can buy very hot peppers imported or grown in greenhouses like Carolina reaper or Scorpion peppers, there is hot sauce everywhere. I have in my cupboard, tabasco, sriracha sauce, sambal, chili peppers, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce my brother makes from Scorpion peppers which is very spicy.
Because of our colonial history wit Indonesia and Suriname, peppers and spicy food have been part of our cuisine for a long time.

The whole "White people" thing is an Americanisation of language. There's no such thing as a "White" identity in Europe and people who apply the "White people" joke on Europe are simply misguided.
The irony is though, to us Asians we generally DO just see you all as a monolith like you guys do with us, but "Western" food has always been seen as pretty delicious, though stereotypical, but never bland.
Point is, the "bland white people food" thing is ironically an American idea, a country that's majority white where you'd think there'd be more nuance.
I'd say that to most Europeans we would see Asia as three different categories instead of a monolith: Middle East, India, and East/Southeast Asia
@@MW_Asura I think when most or at least some of us think of Asians, we mostly think about East/South-East Asians even though the other two groups also live on the Asian continent. And so do whites.

going by the 2nd half of the video, chinese cuisine (by extension, the cuisine of my country vietnam) actually also cook up flavours using cooking technique (stir fry, stew, soup, braise, steam, marinating, pickling,...) & "spice" herbs (leek, onion, scallion, garlic, ginger, pepper, basil, dill,...)
basically the same as the european style of cooking described in the video
by extension, the japanese fish preparation technique at 5:38 is also a technique and not reliant on spice - japanese cuisine doesn't have any more spice than most european cuisines do
It sucks having traditional American cooking be commodified and and altered for mass consumption. There are many great American dishes and styles if you are willing to look. Chicken Divan (with cranberry sauce) comes to mind. A lot of good American food comes from New England, and England itself being our original stock. New England clam chowder and Maine lobster roles comes to mind.
Traditional american barbeque is German in origin with Creole being French. In fact you can tell what peoples settled what region of the USA by our foods.

America does have good food, but most is traditional, and not the modern processed food everyone thinks of. I live in rural Appalachia in Virginia and me and my family have a garden and get all our meat (including our own hunted venison) from our local area, and the things you can do with that, wether smoked venison/pork rolls, or fresh banana or zucchini bread, or homemade barbecue with homemade sauce, or a freshly baked trout I caught from a local river. Any of these things will have fresh applesauce, a variety of homemade canned vegetables/fruits, maybe some egg noodles (which yeah we got from the Germans), and for dessert maybe a homemade apple pie or peach cobbler baked in a Dutch oven, or maybe a dessert dish called “Baked Apples” (not the baked apples you’re probably thinking of) that my step mom from New England introduced to my families southern diet. The big takeaway from American food is that it comes from all over the world either Europe, Africa via slaves, Asia, or even the Indians (which btw they were the ones to invent barbecue, not black people). America is a rich and diverse land and we take the best ideas from all the people that live in this great American melting pot.
A major factor is that European food got shafted harder by modern industrial food processing. If you make European food with inferior ingredients you often get slop, other foods turn out at least passable.
That's basically every example of bad British cuisine that people like to shit on, it's either from someone who can't cook, a shitty cheap restaurant, or someone who tried the recipe from low quality cuts of meat from places like Walmart. Roasts and Fish 'N' Chips are amazing if done with good ingredients and attention to detail.
It's easier to hide poor ingredients if you cover them in spices. That's not a testament to the quality of non-western cuisines, rather that they are mostly just about spices and chilies rather than quality.
@@KJRUSS0 Most of the things people joke about with British food are usually enjoyed mainly by poor urban communities who were making due with anything they could get their fingers on, the same people who'll call us idiots for eating crisp butties and beans on toast will then proceed to defend baloney sandwiches and butter noodles as if their poverty food is more valid than ours.

There's a difference between traditional european food and fucked up process food combination nightmares in the US. For example, making a bread using a tin of tomato soup. Or putting everything in aspic or gelatin. Or more recently, just poverty meals.
And let’s not forget America too has its own variety of food cultures and histories, from the clam chowder, fried clams, apple cider donuts, & lobster rolls (Connecticut or Maine style) of New England, to the smoky & flavorful briskets and pulled pork of southern barbecue, to the sheer seasoning and flavor of Louisiana Cajun, American cuisine isn’t just 50’s era meatloafs, casseroles, and whatever is on the McDonalds menu.

I think you have to also understand, historically in the US "white" was generally reserved for Anglo-Saxon people. Eastern, Southern, Central European, along with most Latin speaking, all Jewish (regardless of race) and Irish communities were not identified as being "white".
That is why in the US you had Irish neighborhoods, Greek neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods. They were separated culturally from what American people identified them as today. The new concept of European = White person is a concept that changed less than 100 years ago. A Slovenian person, as an example would have been identified as a "non white/other" in a historical context in the US/America.
And Americans always forget that other countries exist.

I grew up in Portugal in a fishing town and the one thing that people emphasise is "freshness of ingredients", especially when it comes to fish and other seafood. If it's fresh, all you need is a little bit of salt and lemon when grilling fish.
True, freshly cooked cod is nothing like store-bought. It's mind-blowing how it's almost as sweet as shrimp.
😗👌 Same. Lemon and salt.
Whenever I see people eating with a bunch of sauces I'm thinking how tasteless their ingredients must have been. In Greece we also eat basic but fresh.
the challenge though is keeping things edible and tasty if freshness is not an option year-round. Most of us aren't spoiled with Portuguese climate and have to dry, smoke, pickle and ferment stuff so as not to starve for half the year. At best that can even add to the flavour. At worst... well... surstromming...
@@dionb5276I don't think anyone would disagree with drying, smoking or fermenting food. I believe we're talking here about chemical preservatives, artificial coloring or flavor enhancements that makes pretty much non edible foods, edible. Also I believe in Portugal, similarly to Greece where I live, they don't have good weather all year around and those traditional food preservation techniques are also practiced.

@KateeAngel
yes but nobody has taken food to the autistic maximum like the french did. That's why every single cuisine on this planet has been influenced to some degree by the French. Including, all the countries that were never colonised by them.
Maybe the flavours weren't always adopted, the technique and theory were. For example, most of Japanese culinary art has French influences everywhere.
"When the Meiji era began in 1868, the emperor put an end to Japan's autarky and sent emissaries to the West to steal the best of what was being done in order to move toward modernity. France became a role model in terms of gastronomy."
I'm not French btw. So praising them hurts me.
@@KateeAngel "Other countries think European cuisines like French and Italian are very popular. Must be colonialism." It always must be colonialism doesn't it?

Great video, I never understood the hatred some people have for "white people food", in itself a ridiculous term if you ask me, there are huge differences within European countries. I am Dutch, living in Italy and the two kitchens are really different, though I love both.
One thing though, none of the ingredients you mention for carbonara are actually in it, though those ingredients would make for a great tasting pasta dish. Carbonara is: guanciale, pecorino and egg yolk (I've seen egg white as well) and pasta water to make it into a sauce.
Anything with feta and tomato from Greece is top tier. Their tomatoes have the best flavor I’ve ever tasted on any tomato and the feta is to die for
Yeah I love Greek food. Unlike the French food I used to make at work which is very elaborate, the Greeks have great ingredients so they don't need to overcomplicate their recipes, the ingredients speak for themselves. Compare a Greek salad with big chunky cut ingredients, even Feta ripped apart by hand, simply with salt, olive oil and lemon juice, to a French Nicoise with a vinaigrette, all of which takes 10 times as long to make. Both are great but I do the Greek salad at home in summer, not the French one.

"White People Food" IS the nitpicked example you showed. It's the War Time/depression era food that has lasted for far too long and is kinda depressing to eat. And the elitest flip flop between "season your chicken" and "Don't cover up the taste of the *blank* with spices" will last as long as culturally distinct food exists.
It's only depressing if you consider it as such.
Did you even watch the video? That's just culturally insensitive to anybody in europe

I am stew loving dutchie who's also a bushcrafter en history nerd. North West European cooking is obviously a product of it's geography. If I think about typical dishes I don't even include potatoes, because they are fairly new. I'm thinking of things like oats, rye, hazelnuts, butter, cheese, salted fishes and meats with seasonal addition of fruits like apples, brambles, raspberries and lots and lots of greens, from nettles, dandelions and rumex to brasicas to things like young birch or beech leaves. Because the growing season is so short, you have loads and loads of things that are only available for 2-4 weeks a year and dont make it into the wider culture or if they do, in a bastardized form, like marsh-mallows. The marsh-mallow was originally a plant whose stem was roasted. Before the age of cheap sugar we had a whole variety of sweet tasting plants we have forgotten about. Also ecological degradation played an enormous role. Orchids used to be so common that a drink was made from them called saloop, which was an alernative to tea or coffee (it's still common in Turkey and middle east. All in all, there's so much interesting things but it all tastes less intense or sweet than we are used to.
Hungarian food cuisine's main pillar is pörkölt. You can make lot of different food starting from pörkölt, also you change sides easily. Sides can be pasta, crepes, cabbage, főzelék, potatoes and nokedli for example, adding more water to your pörkölt, you starting make some kind of soup, adding any different veggies will result different types of soup. Also, you can use veggie based pörkölt (like lecsó), or if you feel fancy, adding to your pörkölt little amount of veggie (like peas or mushrooms) or sour cream for different experience. Also, if you mix your fried potato cubes with pörkölt, you made brassói.
Also tokány! Love me a good turkey tokány.
Paprykarz is also a traditional Polish cuisine but it looks different from Hungarian Paprykas. It's a traditional fish paste with sweet pepper

People who hate on chicken breasts have never tasted a properly marinated piece of chicken. The secret is adding something acidic (be it lemon juice or yogurt) to the marinade in order to soften up the meat.
Of course, much like with pickling, marinating meat makes it last longer once it is cooked. Just compare eating an unmarinated chicken breast a day after it was grilled, with a marinated one, and you will see which is still delicious.
Oh, right, a bit of sugar in a marinade really helps with caramelization, if you want that.

The reason for this was more the Industrial Revolution than WW2 rationing, at that time most people became disconnected from their lives on the land, and moved to cities, where they depended on food available in shops, which didn't have refrigeration. So would you prefer if we had continued eating good hearty peasant food in Britain, and not have had the industrial revolution? Without that, you wouldn't be able to comment on this vid, or drive places, or travel by train or aeroplane. So you should be thankful we Brits made that sacrifice.
saying anglo food is "white people food" is like saying burnt dry poorly seasoned curry is "indian food", or saying that unseasoned bat soup is "chinese food" LMAO.
U mean west european
@@unknownv8462 nahh i mean anglo.
France, Spain, Italy amd all the other western europe countries have great food, it's just the brits still eating like they are getting bombed in ww2.
And most americans are not used to cooking, they just get fast food at the drive through, that's why there are so many aberrant dishes coming from there.
So yeah, it's just anglos (mainly brits and muricans).

Butter in Carbonara? I can hear Italians growling!

The whole white people food thing is such silly American ignorance.
American Ignorance landed us on the moon, and we control you economically. So by your logic, if we were any smarter we’d be living on another planet by now. Keep up. TH-cam is American too.
Simply there is no living ironically europe video without the slightest reference of hungary!
Köszi János! Így tovább és meglesz az állampolgárság😂😂
Should have mentioned the Netherlands! The more standard winter food here goes a bit like this: Take a big pot, add some potatoes, add another vegetable of your choosing(carrot, Kale, Cichorium endivia(there is no english name, we call it andijvie)), mash em together with butter and milk in said pot, and serve with meat of your choosing. actual winter slop 😋
I add cheese as well it's great, looks ugly though
Ah, milk soup. I forgot last time i tired one, but it was always good, regardless of what went in.
Smoked eel, kibbeling, split pea soup, cheese, bitterballen, oliebollen, apple pie, vlaai and on and on.
Sounds like bubble & squeak to me, though that's traditionally made with the leftovers from a sunday roast and pan fried.
I would honestly die for a Halászlé (fisherman's soup) made by my grandmother
Surprisingly broad and informative video about European cuisine. Chef's kiss!
Nice heroes of might and magic 3 music at 0:05. Appreciate the flashbacks
Top-tier soundtrack that needs to be in a hall of records.

"White" people food almost always means White American food. European food is really good except for maybe Britain.
Counterpoint: Yorkshire Pudding
And even British food is decent
are brits fine with their cuisine? if so then what gives you any right on complaining about it and trying to make it seem "inferior" than other cuisines
countries have their own distinct cuisines which their population likes to eat
@@mikaela43523 It's dog shit compared to even just its other immediate neighbours in the Isles. Food from the mainland easily blows it out of the water.
@@MW_Asura No, it isn't.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Inferno Theme did definitely fit for the first few Seconds. Absolutely demonic💀
My 2 Favourite food (Since I am Bosnian) are Ćevapi alongside Roasted Onions and Ajvar.
Then there is pečenica,the smoked pork meat that is dried,served with some nice bread and cheese and you got yourself a fast breakfast.
Ahhh I can remember when I went to see my father in the small dark hut,only to be meet with a giant smoke fume that I don't regret smelling good.
Its also funny to see people from other countries inside Europe or outside get shocked as to how good it tastes.
One example I can think of is my Favourite Croatian Dish called Girice.
A super tiny fish that can be eaten whole,alongside some sauces and dipping too.
I really need to go back as taste em again.
Živa istina
Ćevapi are freaking amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try every sing one.
Girice su vrh! Probaj nekad niški roštilj ako imaš prilike:)
Just listing every European bread, cheese, wine and beer would take you days non stop. And then you haven’t even mentioned the fact that europeans created chocolate and basically every sugary dessert/pastry ever.
Chocolate is not a European food they found it in America and planted it in africa
Know ur basics
@@unknownv8462 The plant is originally from South America but the refinement into what we would call chocolate is a European invention. Just like potatoes and tomatoes come from South America but French fries and pizza margherita are European.
@@JCNL871 So you’re allowed to say “we made it better” even though it originated elsewhere, but when an Ami does it, you get pissy and say “it came from Europe???? štfū dude
@@wtfdidijustwatch1017 I never said that.
Chocolate is from mexico, the first europeans to consume it were spanish royalty. Tomatoes, vanilla, and avocados are also from mexico.
the fact you used Sakkijarven polka during the german part at 9:00 hurts my soul
The hallmarks of good food are:
1. Ingredients
2. Ingredients
3. Skill
4. Seasoning
you forgot babuhska's love :D
5. Patience and time to prepare everything the way it's meant to be prepared (my meat soup starts with 2 hours of simmering, and sometimes an extra hour if I forget to check it - some people make soup quickly, so they serve it by the time I add salt and root veggies)
6. Ingredients ;)
So you only have 2 points because seasoning is ingredients.
Tell me about it
Making tamales is harder and I'm not talking about corn husk ones
Wait until you realize that spices are ingredients 😂
Chinese cuisine today within China. I keep seeing gutter oil, wet markets with live rodents and other questionable animals and straight up fake food that's either injected or sprayed on with a dye. But if I'd bring this up I'd be a racist and close minded.
that's literally the same if not far worse as people (mostly americans) saying that "white" food is just burgers and slop
which is true for americans since 1. processed food is cheaper 2. processed food is poisoned to hell with additives
whereas geniuses would watch one China Uncensored video and for some reason find it perfectly logical to say "yup, china is in such poverty that they all have to eat sewage and literal rocks to survive, obviously they are poorer than africa"
that's not really "cuisine" in the first place
That's malpractice and not cuisine, or else you would see foreign Chinese restaurants use gutter oil in their food.
That's not Chinese cuisine tho thats just people being nasty ☠️
Sadly. Especially when you realize Chinese cuisine in times of People China used to have a lot more vegetables
As a Dutch person I see once more that everybody forgets we also have food
It was a short video. People don't forget that Spain has food and it wasn't mentioned.
Dutch food is garbage
Yah, that bread with chocolate sprinkles?
@@pongangelo2048 from the former Dutch Asian colony, we eat that
the fact that you did not mention greek cuisine which is arguably the best of the best and one of the most rich cuisines of the world is kind of crazy, i mean yes you can only eat actual greek food in just greece italy turkey and the balkans and it is not spread world wide but cmon, its class
You cannot argue what’s the best food because everyone has a different taste. I personally like Mici/Minced Meat Rolls
Saying "Europe's climate" is like saying "America's climate" tho. That's like asking "what is the temperature in Europe?" or "what is the temperature in USA?".
I love Bigos and Borsch but there are a lot of great recipes.
One of my favorite fastfood items is the German "currywurst".
Sausage with a ketchupish tomato sauce falvored with mild curry powder and served together with French fries and mayonnaise.
Though other food items like blood sausage might turn off some people but they just taste so good.
That said, if you buy cayenne pepper in a German or Austrian grocery store it is going to be a lot milder than what you would expect.
Even chillies differ in quality.
If I go to spar (grocery store in Austria) and I buy some fresh habaneros they will still not be as spicy as the ones I get from an Asian store.
Some Asian restaurants actually do have the spice option of Asian or white 😂
Austria mentioned🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹

Butter, parmiggiano and pancetta 😂

Take the Hungarians for example and their subtle, almost divine touch with paprika.. perfection that can only be improved up on with cream, not any cream - sour cream ofcourse..
I really enjoy how you characterize what is on screen or what you're saying at the time with music. I really enjoy your style of videos in general but the editing really does keep it engaging. Every time I only intend to half listen while I'm working I find myself just completely locked in to your vids. Very good!
Funny how it were the Portuguese that gave the Africans Piri piri chicken, the Indians samosas and chilis, and gave the Japanese tempura.
