I would love to see more videos of Future Canoe, i watch his content and since he usually changes up some stuff i find reactions all the more interesting!
I think what I like best about FutureCanoe is that he doesn't constantly up the stakes. "I TRIED BUTTER chicken and THIS happened!" isn't his jam. He just goes about his business, shows us what he's up to, and politely thanks us for watching. It's refreshing.
Honestly I kinda love that he doesn't have million dollar equipment and always messes up. It makes me actually want to cook instead of watching Babish grow his own rice or Josh using a small factory of machines to make chicken
The fun part about Future Canoe's videos is that he likes to heavily substitute when recreating videos (oftentimes inappropriately), but in the end if a dish comes out bad, he is honest about it and doesn't pretend it tastes amazing.
Watching his videos made me not only more confident about my substitutions, but also able to tell when something is able to be substituted. Also sometimes I gotta cook after work, for kids and adults… so learning to not care so much while I’m cooking has been helpful. First time I made yellow curry I went full FutureCanoe… but no one noticed. I was sooooo lazy.
@@coin777 He's very honest with his reviews. If he doesn't like how his dish came out he'll say so and if he does like it he'll tell us. He also edits in bits of music that fit with his rating, like "I don't wanna LIVE 🎶" = bad and "Yummy yummy yummy yummy 🎶" = well... Yummy obviously 😅
Future Canoe is one of if not my favorite food channels. He doesn't come off as a snob or some kind of elite in the kitchen, instead he seems like a "buddy" showing you something that he learned recently or that he thought was neat. He's not afraid to call himself out when something doesn't come out right either and i respect the hell out of that.
I don't know why, but knowing Future Canoe, and not having watched this video yet, but seeing someone having to explain the ligma fork as a comment on a different person's video, is peak TH-cam to me
Beg to differ on tomato front, unless you grow your own, or get direct from farm. And limited season. Quality canned tomatos lock quality in maybe hours or even minutes after harvesting. And will keep that quality for a couple of years. San marzano were used i think, by look. One of the top 2 best Italian brands.
@@mybrotherjames8579I don't understand how that could be entitled. It's just the truth about the quality of tomatoes. Most tomatoes in a grocery store are picked while still green before developing their flavors and then shipped across the country and often to a completely different country. Canned tomatoes are picked ripe and immediately canned, so they tend to be a higher quality than what most people will have access to year round. Not everyone will have access to quality fresh tomatoes year round so canned is a good option.
What I like about FutureCanoe's channel is that it's close to how I'd cook with the substitutions, since sometimes I can't find everything it needs here in my cointry, or it's way too expensive, or simply I'm doing it on a whim with what I have in the fridge. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I like that a lot.
What I love about FutureCanoe's content is that he's not exaggerating it to make the video a spectacle and is easily relatable. He makes the food like what most home cooks would do.
I like his use of substitutions, That he shows his mistakes. That he doesn't use a lot of fancy kitchen equipment. That he does things like burn food into his sponsored pan, and that he's very, very relatable. He'll miss out ingredients, he'll add walnuts instead of cashews and strawberry jam instead of marmalade (in savoury dishes) and no his food doesn't always work out but it feels more in line of what I'd actually cook than most videos on youtube. I like that he has videos on struggle meals, and on ramen hacks. There's some youtubers who make huge amounts of food and I worry about how much they'll actually eat and how much goes to waste, and they'll buy special ingredients for just one recipe, and he doesn't generally do that. It doesn't feel like a bit where he's messing up deliberately for the views.
Watching FutureCanoe was a huge step in my journey as a homecook. I used to be very picky about ingredients and how I did it. But his content was such a big reassurance that "it's aight, not everything will go your way". Not sweating if you mess up every now and then. No biggie if you can't find everything in the recipe.
I appreciate FutureCanoe's honesty in his videos. Not specifically in whether or not the food is good, but how he cooks it. He’s going to make substitutions based on what he has in his kitchen, if only to cut down on food waste. He’s not going to buy an ingredient specifically for a video, and if he does, chances are he’ll use it again in a video where it’s not quite appropriate, but it’s not like he was going to find a better use for it. That’s how a lot of home cooks cook. And on the topic of the ligma fork, I think it was made like that.
Yeah, it honestly reminds me when I tried my first butterchicken. Fresh tomatoes? But they dont taste like anything? Best used tinned. Dont have that spice? Guess I have to substitute or leave it be for now. And yes, fenugreek is love, life and light.. but it was very hard to find years ago still XD Not everyone can and want to order online, or has a speciality shop near them. (but if you can get fenugreek, seriously, use it. Its so great in white sauces too!)
@@Elyanleywe don’t use tomatoes because things are supposed to have a tomatoey taste. It’s to add colour and sourness. And canned tomatoes are too sweet and rich for that.
19:50 it's a whole tale of a legend named "Ligma Fork", you don't want to know (or if you do, it's simply because he mixed the dough with his fork too hard it was bent that hard)
my dad once showed a magic trick where he pretend to bend a fork without actually bending it and after i practiced for a while, all our forks were bent like that
I love FutureCanoe. You can tell he's most likely a professional in the food industry (or was at some point at least.) But he makes very down to earth videos, easy to connect with.
I love Future Canoe! Some people may not like his deadpan voice, but I find it relaxing. He shows it if the recipes doesn't turn out right. I hope you do more of Future's videos. The fork drop at the end, is kinda like a mic drop...a good thing.
FutureCanoe is the type of TH-cam chef that makes cooking seem approachable to people outside the food industry. He makes mistakes and it doesn't always turn out right. That is straight relatable in comparison to a lot of Foodtubers. It is a celebration of the everyman.
Future Canoe is one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to food. His almost pessimistic personality makes him look humble, the way he sometimes either don't understand the recipe or don't have the ingredients is super relatable. He is a dude that don't have a professional background, just love for food and a lot of time looking at videos on youtube.
I actually find FutureCanoe relatable. He's the only guy I watch that actually got me to try one of the recipes he tried. You should definitely react to more of his videos.
Also, he doesn’t have the right nuts half the time. BUT, he does have a massive wheel of Raclette in his fridge at all times and always finds excuses to use it
She said in Hindi - Addition of Garlic + butter makes naan very interesting He picked “Garlic”, “Butter” , “Naan” and “interesting” words from the sentence and said “We are making Garlic + plus butter on naan and it makes it very interesting
@@Nebukanezzer It's not surprising, English is a major language in India. It's the second most popular language by total speakers (though that's almost entirely second and third language speakers, not first language speakers).
I think it’s mostly a south Asian/desi thing too even though one other Asian country I’ve seen that is not desi but uses the same equally is the Phillipines. They mix Tagalog and English. I for one can not speak Bengali without mixing English in there
7:05 lmao you're panic here is so funny. His whole channel is basically making food "in a pinch." He's about showing people ways they can cook in their home kitchens with the kinds of foods and tools most home kitchens have. He doesn't buy all the best ingredients or anything because it's important to show how someone with cooking knowledge may substitute certain foods so that people learning how to cook can learn how to confidently substitute and not get burnt out trying to learn. He also is unapologetically on a budget which is the main reason why so many people only cook boxed and instant meals but he's showing people what it actually looks like to cook on a budget. He's also completely honest with how the food tastes showing that it's okay to make mistakes and that sometimes what you cook you might just not like and that's okay
So as someone who makes curries in the USA, here's a little bit of information on canned tomatoes: It can be hard to get good, vine ripened tomatoes fresh unless you go to a farmer's market, and curry needs fully ripened tomatoes to get the proper bold flavor. Because of this, high quality canned tomatoes are often 100% the better choice than fresh, as they're picked at a riper stage. Another good option is to use the weak, run of the mill fresh tomatoes you can find everywhere, but get a can of good quality tomato paste from fully ripe tomatoes and add it to the mix. You get tomato complexity from the fresh tomatoes, and boldness from the tomato paste.
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines Its crazy how getting fresh produce is so difficult (and expensive) in the US. Conglomerates have completely ruined this for you guys. In a country like India, we get a kilo and half of tomatoes for one dollar, and they range from green, to yellow to perfectly ripe. I think even the EU doesnt have a fresh produce crises like the one in the US, a dollar or half a dollar for an onion is INSANE. Fresh food, and fresh produce is NOT supposed to be a "luxury item" lol.
@@Karm.K In the summer, I grow my own tomatoes. In part because there's lots of interesting and flavorful heirloom varieties, but also in part because there just isn't another good option. Where I live, even the expensive tomatoes at the farmers markets tends to be picked green. Part of the problem is that independent farmers can't compete with the massive monopolies, so there's very little local produce, which means those tomatoes have to be able to survive both the picking and packaging, but also the transportation. My mom tells me that when she was young, her family bought mushrooms from a mushroom farm that was down the road from where they lived, and had been in operation since 1934. They shut down operations in 1990 due to being unable to keep up with "foreign competition." That same foreign competition is now as expensive as the high quality local produce that the farm sold.
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines If you grow tomatoes, I would suggest planting coriander and tomatoes together. They complement each other extremely well, not just on the plate, but also while growing. Coriander attracts larger predators like wasps that prey on the worms that plague the tomato, these guys also act as pollinators. Also, coriander produces chemicals (which gives it a very nice fragrance) that keep pests like whiteflies at bay. The weather where I live is pretty good for growing tomatoes all year round so we grow a lot of them. Another tip would be to add finely ground egg shells in the soil from time to time. The calcium in them greatly helps plants that bloom and give fruit.
Sorry but yoyr wrong, you don't need perfect ripe tomatoes for the taste nor do you need to use tomato paste, you can and if so, make sure the paste is cooked out first before adding any type of liquid, the key to a good curry is the base gravy( sauce) I'm a chef from the uk, we have some of the world's best Indian resturants and I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to work in one, here in the uk, it's called B.I.R style (British Indian recipe) every resturant will have a base gravywhich they use for 90% of dishes, get this right and your curry will be on a next level Here's the recipe our resturant use ● 1onion, coarsely sliced • 4garlic cloves, finely chopped • 1⁄2cup passata • 1 tablespoon Panch Puran, sizzling seeds) • 1teaspoon turmeric powder • 1teaspoon garam masala powder • 1⁄2teaspoon green cardamom seeds • 4tablespoons vegetable oil • 1cup water • 1pinch salt directions • Fry the onions in the oil on a medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent (5mins). • Add garlic and saute for 1 minute • add Tomatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes. • Add half the water and simmer for 5 minutes then add the rest of the water and spices. Stir in well and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Keep stirring regularly throughout cooking. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool slightly before pureeing in a food processor.
I love Future Canoe! The way he tackles recipes with a more lax and pragmatic touch regarding ingredient availability. The lack of special tools, while funny ofc, also makes cooking seen more approachable to people who don't cook often, lack the special ingredients or tools for it. As in, you don't necessarily have to have X or Y if you want to try out something new - can improvise a bit~. He's just great.
Future Canoe is a pretty interesting channel. He's not particularly amazing in terms of skill, he's somewhere around a hobbyist homecook level (or at least pretends to be), but that's kind of the appeal. He presents himself like an everyman that doesn't really take himself too seriously, rather than any sort of authority on cooking. The running theme here is basically "you've seen a cool recipe on youtube? Here's what it might look like if *you* actually try to do it at home". He may not have some tools you see constantly in youtube videos (Kitchenaid stand mixer, immersion blender for example), he constantly substitutes because he doesn't have some ingredients, skips steps, or outright fucks up parts of the process. Sometimes it goes poorly, sometimes it goes well. It's neat.
@@MrHitmancheg afaik he is honestly quite skilled in actuality, he makes comedic mistakes and helps us see that making mistakes is okay and not be scared of them. Also he does show that you can improvise, but he seems to know what he is doing with all the improvisations. I'd imagine amateurs like me couldn't make correct substitutions, which can make following his style at home a bit difficult.
This future canoe video actually inspired me to try to make butter chicken myself! When futureanoe makes something, it feels more approachable, and while my butter chicken wasn’t as good as takeout, I’m still pretty happy with it
FutureCanoe is the essence of "yeah I'm just a home cook that learned a bunch of stuff off the internet, but I'm going to do the best I can without spending crazy money on tools or ingredients because I'm a content creator." He's the perfect blend of exerting the most effort that a home cook on a reasonable budget can manage. Other than occasionally splurging on a pricey ingredient because it's inherent to the dish, its all very down to earth.
My favorite thing about Future Canoe is that he gives me confidence to 1) not let not having some ingredients stop me from attempting a recipe, and 2) not just stop if what i’m doing doesn’t look like in the video. Like I know it’s not necessarily end in success every time, but I feel like the courage to experiment and persist will ultimately lead you to progress.
I really like his channel because it is more a look into what you might actually do, when you're going about your daily life. Making substitutes on the fly is very important to everyday cooking. Most people only follow recipes to the exact measurement during holidays, when they "awaken their inner chef" or to impress other people. This is a decent example of what you might do.
Future Canoe is hysterically funny with his low key delivery. I like that he is an inspiration for people learning to cook, just as he is doing. He's not a chef. He's an average joe who found a niche combining all these elements to play the game of making money on social media. The boy is genius. In truth he's taking a swing at all the over inflated egos peddling their wares in the kitchen. Definitely well played on his part.
Future canoe is one of the best cooking channel out there. For me it’s at the top. It feels very familiar and makes me very comfortable that you can fug up too its ok to do that and he does that very acceptingly.
The more I watch of future canoe the more I think he's actually a good cook, but a better comedian. His comedic timing when he skips ingredients that are an inconvenience to find is hilarious. Also, his chopping skills with an onion are better than mine, that's not saying much, but there it is.
future canoe is basically the only food channel that's relatable. he uses the simpler and cheaper ingredients all the time, like a regular person would
I'm glad someone actually reacted to future canoe He's so freaking amazing even more of he's mistakes then anything else and that's why I adore he's chanel he's relaxing take on cooking without any screaming just one tone entirely is amazing Love cooking chanel's and he's is my number 1 of all
Love that Future Canoe is both skilled in the kitchen, but still makes mistakes like normal home cooks 👍 So relatable. Love his videos; love your reaction. Keep going!
I honestly love future canoe's videos, the honesty, the ligma fork, the little thank yous he has at the end and his rating out of "teen". I also like that he's not afraid to substitute ingredients or show his mistakes, he'll even attempt recipes a few more times after some time has passed. I think part of the appeal is that most of the videos are relatable to people who just cook at home for themselves and/or their families.
I love their channel. Probably my favourite channel ever. Simple concept, just follow the recipes and test it out. No nonsense, no gimmicks. Plus, he's funny, explains what he's doing and why he does it in a clear and concise manner, and is a genuinely sweet person. He genuinely loves seeing fellow TH-camrs growing and finding success in their field, while he experiences success himself; he's buys ingredients now. Love seeing him, hope to see a lot more of him.
The great thing about futurecanoe is he doesn’t take anything extremely seriously and he has fun and is creative. Whereas a lot of other “food” TH-camrs take themselves too seriously and think too highly of themselves or think they do everything better *cough* not pointing fingers *you*.
You both are like a chaotic combo. 😂 One makes dark jokes and another is a serious one. You should react more to his videos chef, his channel is absolutely chaotic and funny. 💀💀
I want to see you cooking chef james. You really know your stuff and i would eat your food all day long! My daughter was in Barcelona last year and i so wish i had discovered you before she went. I definitely want to try your restaurant. Love your channel❤❤❤
Seen another video talking about FC and it's just like what you said, using something you already have at home to try and make something do and using things creatively makes him more relatable than someone who would buy a tandoori oven and use it probably once a year. In the automotive world it's like watching the kind of cars you'd actually go drive daily rather than the expensive supercars.
I like how you are offended by this...half of future canoe's recipe is generally whatever he happens to have on hand, like the never ending Ratcliffe replaces basically any and all cheese
Future canoe is great in that he's not afraid of substitution and not afraid to fail. Substitution is great for home cooks who don't have all the equipment and ingredients that pro chefs do. His failing and self deprecating humor also gives the viewers the confidence to try it themselves
FutureCanoe became an instant fave, highly relatable on the adaptability if the correct ingredients aren't readily available, make with what's on hand.
I like Future Canoe because he feels a lot more relatable than the majority of the food content out there. It feels like it's either "entertainment cooking" like Joshua and Babish or the "ridiculous recipes" like the wild 5 minutes crafts or other content farms. He's substituting, admitting he can't be bothered to do some steps and all that. Definitely one of my favourite food related content creators.
YOU NEED TO DO MORE REACTION VIDEOS ON FUTURE CANOE!!!! This and the other Ungle Wang style fried rice are some of the most entertaining videos you have put out.
Watching Future Canoe always reminds me of an older brother who cooks dorm food to his younger sibling... love it ~ also, the instagram segment is always, my fav part
Chef James Makinson really knows his stuff. This deep dive into the most viewed butter chicken recipe was fascinating. His insights on the tomato sauce and spice profile are spot on. I especially appreciated his emphasis on using quality ingredients. It's clear that small details can make a huge difference in the final dish.
Chef James is such a wholesome guy. His videos have such a calming vibe tbh as opposed to a lot of cooking/reacting channels that are constantly yelling and overeacting or doing something weird for views.
Yes it's correct...he translated perfectly from Hindi to English 😅just yoghurt and curd preparation is different the texture to taste it is different. We use fermented milk to prepare curd where as bacteria culture to prepare yogurt. And chef your literally too sweet to be uncle Roger.😂
Future Canoe is learning and if you watch his progress you'll see he is improving at a phenomenal rate. His vids are informative & funny and I like the fact that he shows what to do and what not to do so we learn by experience, albeit his experience. Nice weejo
Excellent combo! Never I'd be watching Chef James reacting to Future Canoe's freestyle rendition of renowned recipes that somehow works at the end! And the shade thrown over Jamie's version is like garlic that adds more flavor to all of these!
The greatest thing about this channel is that he often insults himself to make us laugh. Also, the primary reason is that he is more like us. We don't always have all the ingredients with us and have to either substitute or adjust with it. He is realistic. Really love this channel and your's too. Love from India.
What is really great about Future Canoe is that he doesn’t always have the right ingredients.. because that’s what is the situation for most non-foodies .. and feeling like you HAVE to HAVE the specific ingredients in order to make these things is a limiting factor.. both logistical, time and financial.. So seeing an alternative way to make the dishes with ingredients that are sometimes more common pantry staples, is really helpful and freeing for some.. His dry humor is the big bonus 😂
FutureCanoe may have experience in hospitality, but I think that makes the contrast to his at-home laziness more appealing - he knows not to wash away a fond but also can't be assed to go to the store for a couple of ingredients if he's got most of them already. I totally relate! Who can say they haven't winged it in the kitchen before?
Your content is so solid James. You don’t need the polo. Everything you add is so informative and you’re entertaining and naturally charming. Dude. You slay. Be you. ❤
Googled kasoori methi cuz I've never heard of it before and oh it's just fenugreek. Damn here I thought there was some massive secret hidden spice the Indians don't tell anyone else about to make butter chicken lmao
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN but specifically, it's dried fenugreek leaves. We use dried leaves, fresh leaves and seeds for different things. They have different flavours.
You come off as so much more mature in this and indeed other newer videos than in your older videos I've watched, in the way that you approach and critique the recipe, process and choices the cook makes in their video. You have, at least in my opinion, really grown, if not as a person (bit of a short time for that innit) then as a content creator. Good job, way to go for 1mil subs.
Uncle James in orange Polo! The genius of seasoning the boards and plates rather than the food LOL. The well known pizzeria, Lucali in Brooklyn uses wine bottles to stretch the dough.
I think whats great about FC is that he just keeps it real. Does he like the dish? yes or no, he'll tell you. Does he have everything a recipe asks for? No? He either leaves it out or subs something else in. Plus he always thanks you for watching
Future Canoe is relatable. He usually lacks half the equipment and part of the ingredients to perfectly follow recipes, but he improvises and it often turns out alright. And if it doesn't turn out well he tells us.
The way you look in the camera and chuckle makes me feel like we're friends 😅 I like how genuine you are, bud. I also make naan on a tawa. Lamb donner every weekend.
I enjoy learning from professional chefs. Learning from them is more like “what am I doing that is horrible wrong” with a slight mix of “what’s worth doing better”. Future Canoe is the perfect mix of both.
I like FutureCanoe he's a blast to watch, and I found surprisingly honest about how he feels about what he made and how it looks as he's making it. Obviously, he makes his videos with a lot of tongue in cheek but in the end, he sometimes gets an edible product.
Future Canoe is the main man! I love that guy! hes one of if not the most entertaining & real cooking channel on the tube! As an Indian I can honestly say that Indian food tastes WAY better with you r hands!
I have a passion in cooking and have always wanted to be a chef. I suffer from a chronic pain condition that makes it nearly impossible to pursue this career. This makes me thankful that I found your channel and have been watching all of the videos. Keep up the good work!
This looks actually pretty good! My favorite pizza place got purchased by an Indian family and I was worried they would change the products and recipes of the usual menu that was so good! But not only they've kept the existing ones, they have added new items and my now favorite is their butter chicken pizza! So, they are using the same pizza dough base, brush some garlic butter, add the butter chicken, sprinkle of green peppers, then the cheese and hop in the oven! This is sooo good, you have to try this! 😛😁 Thanks James, you are the best!
That sounds interesting. I guess the pizza dough substitutes as a big naan. And cheese would go with the chicken and the tomato based sauce. They sound like creative fusion chefs.
@@angelachouinard4581 You've got me thinking that the crust has more the texture and taste of nan bread, not their regular pizza dough that I've been getting for years! But it might be the same just cooked differently, like a nan, before making the pizza? Anyways, it's very good!😛😁 But I'll ask next time I go! Thanks!
Future Canoe is such a great channel. On first glance, his food comes out looking gross, he makes tons of substitutions, and everything points towards him just being a jokester; but there's subtle hints towards him being a seasoned -cutting- -board- veteran in the kitchen who just can't be bothered to care too much.
my favorite part of this video is that you gave us ("us" being new viewers) some fun past videos to check out now i have a good jumping point really liked this vid, you're very charismatic
Someone made a video of a recipe, then someone make a video of making a recipe by using a video of someone making a recipe, then someone reacting to a video of someone making a video of making a recipe by using a video of someone making a recipe. Such a great thing now I will make a channel and make cook using this video 😀✨
14:57 Costco is what is called a wholesaler. They buy by the lot instead of by unit, like a grocery store would, which allows them to set lower prices, as their profit margins aren't as steep, but most of their money is made via membership fees. They also have a couple things that are considered calculated losses, their $1.50 hot dog combo and their $5 rotisserie chickens, they take the hit on it as they tend to drive sales further by enticing people with the prospect of exceptional deals.
@bscar Surprisingly, with gas stations, they aren't the most profitable, but it is a measure that does drive traffic to their stores, both figuratively and literally, as you do get reduced membership pricing as a perk, which again, incentives prospective shoppers to want get a membership. And even with their lower pricing model, because we as consumers see lower market prices, we are more driven to purchase even more than normal. The 'calculated losses' they have with their hot dogs and chickens just means those aren't the money makers, but drive sales to the store in general, the profit margins aren't great but they aren't hemorrhaging losses either.
@@isaiahbaker4910 I get the profit by volume model. I've only ever dealt with Sam's Club, but that was awhile back as the closest store- same with Costco- is an hour away. Hardest part of SC was finding room in the house for a 48 roll pack of extra large toilet paper and 24 rolls of paper towels. IIRC they're both similar business styles
"Wait for the drop" True in Techno and his making Naan. Your commentary throughout was wonderful, well done. I would put in the effort but there a wonderful Indian restaurant that was so shocked that I knew Garam Marsala was that they took me back to see their Tandoor.
FutureCanoe is great. The deadpan delivery makes him unique. The one thing I notice about western butter chicken is typically it is much sweeter, sometimes unreasonably so. From my time traveling through Asia and the subcontinent it has actual spice and chilli heat. Not face melting spiciness and not the type of heat that makes it uncomfortable on the way out but it is present. As for FutureCanoe's attempt I'm not sold on the walnuts. But other than that and the lack of chilli kick I'd eat it happily if I was served that as a guest. It's not restaurant quality but I kind of think it's a really good home cook attempt
How do you think this turned out? Let me know down below and if you want to see more of Future Canoe!
My two favorite YT chefs, together! It's like an issue of Marvel Team-Up with Spider Man and The Thing!
I would love to see more videos of Future Canoe, i watch his content and since he usually changes up some stuff i find reactions all the more interesting!
It's an awesome channel. I binged it before. His fork is iconic and such a versatile tool.
Yes!! Love both your channels 😍
'More Future Canoe?' is always a 'yes'!
Just to clarify, this man doesn't forget steps. He just chooses to ignore them if he is too lazy to get the ingredient 😂
That's something people don't understand.
I think what I like best about FutureCanoe is that he doesn't constantly up the stakes. "I TRIED BUTTER chicken and THIS happened!" isn't his jam. He just goes about his business, shows us what he's up to, and politely thanks us for watching. It's refreshing.
@Shampaggin me and my wife always love his little "thank you" at the end of his shorts and such
Honestly I kinda love that he doesn't have million dollar equipment and always messes up. It makes me actually want to cook instead of watching Babish grow his own rice or Josh using a small factory of machines to make chicken

The fun part about Future Canoe's videos is that he likes to heavily substitute when recreating videos (oftentimes inappropriately), but in the end if a dish comes out bad, he is honest about it and doesn't pretend it tastes amazing.
Watching his videos made me not only more confident about my substitutions, but also able to tell when something is able to be substituted.
Also sometimes I gotta cook after work, for kids and adults… so learning to not care so much while I’m cooking has been helpful.
First time I made yellow curry I went full FutureCanoe… but no one noticed. I was sooooo lazy.
He also never faults the recipe if his own version fails and instead owns up to his mistakes.
How do You know that his dishes don't come out bad? You taste it?
@@coin777 He's very honest with his reviews. If he doesn't like how his dish came out he'll say so and if he does like it he'll tell us. He also edits in bits of music that fit with his rating, like "I don't wanna LIVE 🎶" = bad and "Yummy yummy yummy yummy 🎶" = well... Yummy obviously 😅
@@RyuLuminya ah sure
Future Canoe is one of if not my favorite food channels. He doesn't come off as a snob or some kind of elite in the kitchen, instead he seems like a "buddy" showing you something that he learned recently or that he thought was neat. He's not afraid to call himself out when something doesn't come out right either and i respect the hell out of that.
Stuff like "i dont know what that herb is" and "i dont have cashews so I'll use walnuts" is so endearing. Do your best, king!

Yes, love, when something doesn't taste right, he just immediately goes: Probably something I did.
That’s the "ligma fork" it’s used to take the center piece of every dish flawlessly! You’ll get it once you’ve watched enough videos
It's also used to mix things up when you're beating it on the couch
What's a ligma fork? 🤔

Ohhh i love that channel. It's very different from most of the food related content on the site. The super dry humour also works for me.
Good to know!
Beg to differ on tomato front, unless you grow your own, or get direct from farm. And limited season. Quality canned tomatos lock quality in maybe hours or even minutes after harvesting. And will keep that quality for a couple of years. San marzano were used i think, by look. One of the top 2 best Italian brands.
@@Michael_Brockwhat an entitled take of yours…
@@mybrotherjames8579I don't understand how that could be entitled. It's just the truth about the quality of tomatoes. Most tomatoes in a grocery store are picked while still green before developing their flavors and then shipped across the country and often to a completely different country. Canned tomatoes are picked ripe and immediately canned, so they tend to be a higher quality than what most people will have access to year round. Not everyone will have access to quality fresh tomatoes year round so canned is a good option.
I don't think he knows what "entitled" means. Or he didn't understand the comment.
Babbish taught me: When cooking, mistakes can happen. FC taught me: Sometimes mistakes can be somewhat edible, and "Ten" is pronounced "Teen"
What I like about FutureCanoe's channel is that it's close to how I'd cook with the substitutions, since sometimes I can't find everything it needs here in my cointry, or it's way too expensive, or simply I'm doing it on a whim with what I have in the fridge. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I like that a lot.
I do the same as well :) I can't even get jalapenos
cointry mate
What I love about FutureCanoe's content is that he's not exaggerating it to make the video a spectacle and is easily relatable. He makes the food like what most home cooks would do.
@@mirusasaki Like when he says "the recipe calls for *this*, but I'm gonna use *other thing* instead cuz that's what I have."
@@mirusasaki Nem PFP spotted.
I like his use of substitutions, That he shows his mistakes. That he doesn't use a lot of fancy kitchen equipment. That he does things like burn food into his sponsored pan, and that he's very, very relatable. He'll miss out ingredients, he'll add walnuts instead of cashews and strawberry jam instead of marmalade (in savoury dishes) and no his food doesn't always work out but it feels more in line of what I'd actually cook than most videos on youtube. I like that he has videos on struggle meals, and on ramen hacks. There's some youtubers who make huge amounts of food and I worry about how much they'll actually eat and how much goes to waste, and they'll buy special ingredients for just one recipe, and he doesn't generally do that. It doesn't feel like a bit where he's messing up deliberately for the views.
Watching FutureCanoe was a huge step in my journey as a homecook. I used to be very picky about ingredients and how I did it. But his content was such a big reassurance that "it's aight, not everything will go your way". Not sweating if you mess up every now and then. No biggie if you can't find everything in the recipe.
on the rare times he does buy special ingredients it becomes a regular on the channel to be used for a while. It's not a one and done thing
@@tomraineofmagigor3499 Ahh yes, the never-ending raclette. 🧀
I like how he isn't afraid to just beat it on the couch.
I appreciate FutureCanoe's honesty in his videos. Not specifically in whether or not the food is good, but how he cooks it. He’s going to make substitutions based on what he has in his kitchen, if only to cut down on food waste. He’s not going to buy an ingredient specifically for a video, and if he does, chances are he’ll use it again in a video where it’s not quite appropriate, but it’s not like he was going to find a better use for it. That’s how a lot of home cooks cook.
And on the topic of the ligma fork, I think it was made like that.
Yeah, it honestly reminds me when I tried my first butterchicken. Fresh tomatoes? But they dont taste like anything? Best used tinned.
Dont have that spice? Guess I have to substitute or leave it be for now.
And yes, fenugreek is love, life and light.. but it was very hard to find years ago still XD Not everyone can and want to order online, or has a speciality shop near them.
(but if you can get fenugreek, seriously, use it. Its so great in white sauces too!)
I Wonder why he doesn't use proper ingredients
@@blaizegottman4139probably on purpose to get views.
@@Elyanleywe don’t use tomatoes because things are supposed to have a tomatoey taste. It’s to add colour and sourness. And canned tomatoes are too sweet and rich for that.
Actually, in one of the earlier videos he used a fork to squeeze lime juice out of a lime a bit too agressively, that's the ligma fork origin story.
19:50 it's a whole tale of a legend named "Ligma Fork", you don't want to know (or if you do, it's simply because he mixed the dough with his fork too hard it was bent that hard)
my dad once showed a magic trick where he pretend to bend a fork without actually bending it
and after i practiced for a while, all our forks were bent like that
Thanks for telling the lord behind the ligms fork. I am pretty new to FC's channel and genuinely thought that a company manufactured the bent fork 😂😂
It didn't bend from mixing dough. It bent while trying to juice a lemon.
@@lpa1992 It actually bent while trying to juice a lemon.
I love FutureCanoe. You can tell he's most likely a professional in the food industry (or was at some point at least.) But he makes very down to earth videos, easy to connect with.
Agreed!
I love Future Canoe! Some people may not like his deadpan voice, but I find it relaxing. He shows it if the recipes doesn't turn out right. I hope you do more of Future's videos. The fork drop at the end, is kinda like a mic drop...a good thing.
FutureCanoe is the type of TH-cam chef that makes cooking seem approachable to people outside the food industry. He makes mistakes and it doesn't always turn out right. That is straight relatable in comparison to a lot of Foodtubers. It is a celebration of the everyman.
Future Canue is a goat. His channel has absolutely blown up in the past few years and he deserves the attention because of his originality!
the style remides me of Babish a bit
@@ChefJamesMakinson budget version
Future Canoe is one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to food. His almost pessimistic personality makes him look humble, the way he sometimes either don't understand the recipe or don't have the ingredients is super relatable. He is a dude that don't have a professional background, just love for food and a lot of time looking at videos on youtube.
I think is was a line cook
he was a line cook-
FutureCanoe has a vibe of "a young student having their first apartment and learning to cook" which makes his videos very fun to watch.
😂
I actually find FutureCanoe relatable. He's the only guy I watch that actually got me to try one of the recipes he tried. You should definitely react to more of his videos.
I love this guy for the randomness of what he has and hasn't available.
Rolling pin - nope
Torch - well, obviously yes
Butane torch, I'm guessing.
Also, he doesn’t have the right nuts half the time.
BUT, he does have a massive wheel of Raclette in his fridge at all times and always finds excuses to use it
She said in Hindi - Addition of Garlic + butter makes naan very interesting
He picked “Garlic”, “Butter” , “Naan” and “interesting” words from the sentence
and said “We are making Garlic + plus butter on naan and it makes it very interesting
Yeah it's a thing in Hindi to mix in a bunch of English phrases, you see it a lot on tech and review channels.
@@Nebukanezzer Yes .
@@Nebukanezzer It's not surprising, English is a major language in India. It's the second most popular language by total speakers (though that's almost entirely second and third language speakers, not first language speakers).
I think it’s mostly a south Asian/desi thing too even though one other Asian country I’ve seen that is not desi but uses the same equally is the Phillipines. They mix Tagalog and English. I for one can not speak Bengali without mixing English in there
7:05 lmao you're panic here is so funny. His whole channel is basically making food "in a pinch." He's about showing people ways they can cook in their home kitchens with the kinds of foods and tools most home kitchens have. He doesn't buy all the best ingredients or anything because it's important to show how someone with cooking knowledge may substitute certain foods so that people learning how to cook can learn how to confidently substitute and not get burnt out trying to learn. He also is unapologetically on a budget which is the main reason why so many people only cook boxed and instant meals but he's showing people what it actually looks like to cook on a budget. He's also completely honest with how the food tastes showing that it's okay to make mistakes and that sometimes what you cook you might just not like and that's okay
2:49 we have lost chef James to the dark side.
😂😂
It finaly happened lol
he already uncle, but now morphing in Roger..
The Rog side…
I must be too innocent or something because I don't understand what he meant. Lol
So as someone who makes curries in the USA, here's a little bit of information on canned tomatoes: It can be hard to get good, vine ripened tomatoes fresh unless you go to a farmer's market, and curry needs fully ripened tomatoes to get the proper bold flavor. Because of this, high quality canned tomatoes are often 100% the better choice than fresh, as they're picked at a riper stage.
Another good option is to use the weak, run of the mill fresh tomatoes you can find everywhere, but get a can of good quality tomato paste from fully ripe tomatoes and add it to the mix. You get tomato complexity from the fresh tomatoes, and boldness from the tomato paste.
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines Its crazy how getting fresh produce is so difficult (and expensive) in the US. Conglomerates have completely ruined this for you guys. In a country like India, we get a kilo and half of tomatoes for one dollar, and they range from green, to yellow to perfectly ripe. I think even the EU doesnt have a fresh produce crises like the one in the US, a dollar or half a dollar for an onion is INSANE. Fresh food, and fresh produce is NOT supposed to be a "luxury item" lol.
@@Karm.K
In the summer, I grow my own tomatoes. In part because there's lots of interesting and flavorful heirloom varieties, but also in part because there just isn't another good option. Where I live, even the expensive tomatoes at the farmers markets tends to be picked green. Part of the problem is that independent farmers can't compete with the massive monopolies, so there's very little local produce, which means those tomatoes have to be able to survive both the picking and packaging, but also the transportation.
My mom tells me that when she was young, her family bought mushrooms from a mushroom farm that was down the road from where they lived, and had been in operation since 1934. They shut down operations in 1990 due to being unable to keep up with "foreign competition." That same foreign competition is now as expensive as the high quality local produce that the farm sold.
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines If you grow tomatoes, I would suggest planting coriander and tomatoes together. They complement each other extremely well, not just on the plate, but also while growing. Coriander attracts larger predators like wasps that prey on the worms that plague the tomato, these guys also act as pollinators. Also, coriander produces chemicals (which gives it a very nice fragrance) that keep pests like whiteflies at bay. The weather where I live is pretty good for growing tomatoes all year round so we grow a lot of them.
Another tip would be to add finely ground egg shells in the soil from time to time. The calcium in them greatly helps plants that bloom and give fruit.
Sorry but yoyr wrong, you don't need perfect ripe tomatoes for the taste nor do you need to use tomato paste, you can and if so, make sure the paste is cooked out first before adding any type of liquid, the key to a good curry is the base gravy( sauce) I'm a chef from the uk, we have some of the world's best Indian resturants and I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to work in one, here in the uk, it's called B.I.R style (British Indian recipe) every resturant will have a base gravywhich they use for 90% of dishes, get this right and your curry will be on a next level
Here's the recipe our resturant use
● 1onion, coarsely sliced
• 4garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1⁄2cup passata
• 1 tablespoon Panch Puran, sizzling seeds)
• 1teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1⁄2teaspoon green cardamom seeds
• 4tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1cup water
• 1pinch salt
directions
• Fry the onions in the oil on a medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent (5mins).
• Add garlic and saute for 1 minute
• add Tomatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes.
• Add half the water and simmer for 5 minutes then add the rest of the water and spices. Stir in well and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Keep stirring regularly throughout cooking. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool slightly before pureeing in a food processor.

I love Future Canoe!
The way he tackles recipes with a more lax and pragmatic touch regarding ingredient availability. The lack of special tools, while funny ofc, also makes cooking seen more approachable to people who don't cook often, lack the special ingredients or tools for it. As in, you don't necessarily have to have X or Y if you want to try out something new - can improvise a bit~.
He's just great.
Future Canoe is a pretty interesting channel. He's not particularly amazing in terms of skill, he's somewhere around a hobbyist homecook level (or at least pretends to be), but that's kind of the appeal. He presents himself like an everyman that doesn't really take himself too seriously, rather than any sort of authority on cooking.
The running theme here is basically "you've seen a cool recipe on youtube? Here's what it might look like if *you* actually try to do it at home". He may not have some tools you see constantly in youtube videos (Kitchenaid stand mixer, immersion blender for example), he constantly substitutes because he doesn't have some ingredients, skips steps, or outright fucks up parts of the process. Sometimes it goes poorly, sometimes it goes well.
It's neat.
But I feel like he doesn't take it seriously
He is at least a line cook though just plays down his skill at home
@@MrHitmancheg afaik he is honestly quite skilled in actuality, he makes comedic mistakes and helps us see that making mistakes is okay and not be scared of them. Also he does show that you can improvise, but he seems to know what he is doing with all the improvisations. I'd imagine amateurs like me couldn't make correct substitutions, which can make following his style at home a bit difficult.
@@blaizegottman4139 my man, chill, why hate over multiple comments, dude is just cooking and having fun
Have you seen his knife skills? That's the dead giveaway. He knows exactly what he's doing.
So glad to see you doing this! I love his videos!
Glad to hear!!
Canoe is peobly chef he security has top quillty knife skill
This future canoe video actually inspired me to try to make butter chicken myself! When futureanoe makes something, it feels more approachable, and while my butter chicken wasn’t as good as takeout, I’m still pretty happy with it
FutureCanoe is the essence of "yeah I'm just a home cook that learned a bunch of stuff off the internet, but I'm going to do the best I can without spending crazy money on tools or ingredients because I'm a content creator."
He's the perfect blend of exerting the most effort that a home cook on a reasonable budget can manage. Other than occasionally splurging on a pricey ingredient because it's inherent to the dish, its all very down to earth.
My favorite thing about Future Canoe is that he gives me confidence to 1) not let not having some ingredients stop me from attempting a recipe, and 2) not just stop if what i’m doing doesn’t look like in the video. Like I know it’s not necessarily end in success every time, but I feel like the courage to experiment and persist will ultimately lead you to progress.
I really like his channel because it is more a look into what you might actually do, when you're going about your daily life. Making substitutes on the fly is very important to everyday cooking. Most people only follow recipes to the exact measurement during holidays, when they "awaken their inner chef" or to impress other people. This is a decent example of what you might do.
Future Canoe is hysterically funny with his low key delivery. I like that he is an inspiration for people learning to cook, just as he is doing. He's not a chef. He's an average joe who found a niche combining all these elements to play the game of making money on social media. The boy is genius. In truth he's taking a swing at all the over inflated egos peddling their wares in the kitchen. Definitely well played on his part.
Future canoe is one of the best cooking channel out there. For me it’s at the top. It feels very familiar and makes me very comfortable that you can fug up too its ok to do that and he does that very acceptingly.
The more I watch of future canoe the more I think he's actually a good cook, but a better comedian. His comedic timing when he skips ingredients that are an inconvenience to find is hilarious. Also, his chopping skills with an onion are better than mine, that's not saying much, but there it is.
Couldn't agree more!
future canoe is basically the only food channel that's relatable. he uses the simpler and cheaper ingredients all the time, like a regular person would
I'm glad someone actually reacted to future canoe
He's so freaking amazing even more of he's mistakes then anything else and that's why I adore he's chanel he's relaxing take on cooking without any screaming just one tone entirely is amazing
Love cooking chanel's and he's is my number 1 of all
I like futurecanoe because me makes me feel like it's possible to cook. Idk why. But he's honestly pretty inspiring
Love that Future Canoe is both skilled in the kitchen, but still makes mistakes like normal home cooks 👍 So relatable. Love his videos; love your reaction. Keep going!
I honestly love future canoe's videos, the honesty, the ligma fork, the little thank yous he has at the end and his rating out of "teen". I also like that he's not afraid to substitute ingredients or show his mistakes, he'll even attempt recipes a few more times after some time has passed. I think part of the appeal is that most of the videos are relatable to people who just cook at home for themselves and/or their families.
I love their channel. Probably my favourite channel ever. Simple concept, just follow the recipes and test it out. No nonsense, no gimmicks. Plus, he's funny, explains what he's doing and why he does it in a clear and concise manner, and is a genuinely sweet person.
He genuinely loves seeing fellow TH-camrs growing and finding success in their field, while he experiences success himself; he's buys ingredients now.
Love seeing him, hope to see a lot more of him.
Also that's his Ligma fork. It's the main character
The great thing about futurecanoe is he doesn’t take anything extremely seriously and he has fun and is creative. Whereas a lot of other “food” TH-camrs take themselves too seriously and think too highly of themselves or think they do everything better *cough* not pointing fingers *you*.
I can see what you mean

@@ChefJamesMakinson yes and more of beautiful Simba.
Seen another video talking about FC and it's just like what you said, using something you already have at home to try and make something do and using things creatively makes him more relatable than someone who would buy a tandoori oven and use it probably once a year.
In the automotive world it's like watching the kind of cars you'd actually go drive daily rather than the expensive supercars.
I like how you are offended by this...half of future canoe's recipe is generally whatever he happens to have on hand, like the never ending Ratcliffe replaces basically any and all cheese
I believe it was raclette and not ratcliffe.
@@opalwisdom9780 I'm sure you are right, I let auto correct decide on the spelling
I love future Canoe.... thanks for your perspective on him
Future canoe is great in that he's not afraid of substitution and not afraid to fail. Substitution is great for home cooks who don't have all the equipment and ingredients that pro chefs do. His failing and self deprecating humor also gives the viewers the confidence to try it themselves
FutureCanoe became an instant fave, highly relatable on the adaptability if the correct ingredients aren't readily available, make with what's on hand.
Future canoe is probably my favorite food TH-camr. The most real recreations ever 🤣
Yoo the orange polo 😂🎉 0:26
I like Future Canoe because he feels a lot more relatable than the majority of the food content out there. It feels like it's either "entertainment cooking" like Joshua and Babish or the "ridiculous recipes" like the wild 5 minutes crafts or other content farms. He's substituting, admitting he can't be bothered to do some steps and all that. Definitely one of my favourite food related content creators.
YOU NEED TO DO MORE REACTION VIDEOS ON FUTURE CANOE!!!! This and the other Ungle Wang style fried rice are some of the most entertaining videos you have put out.
I will make more!
Watching Future Canoe always reminds me of an older brother who cooks dorm food to his younger sibling... love it ~
also, the instagram segment is always, my fav part
Chef James Makinson really knows his stuff. This deep dive into the most viewed butter chicken recipe was fascinating. His insights on the tomato sauce and spice profile are spot on. I especially appreciated his emphasis on using quality ingredients. It's clear that small details can make a huge difference in the final dish.
😉
What I love about canoe, is that more than often he drops a step or two or substitutes stuff.
Chef James is such a wholesome guy. His videos have such a calming vibe tbh as opposed to a lot of cooking/reacting channels that are constantly yelling and overeacting or doing something weird for views.
Yes it's correct...he translated perfectly from Hindi to English 😅just yoghurt and curd preparation is different the texture to taste it is different. We use fermented milk to prepare curd where as bacteria culture to prepare yogurt.
And chef your literally too sweet to be uncle Roger.😂
love that you're watching some of future canoes videos, hes been an awesome breath of fresh youtuber ever since i found him
Future Canoe is learning and if you watch his progress you'll see he is improving at a phenomenal rate. His vids are informative & funny and I like the fact that he shows what to do and what not to do so we learn by experience, albeit his experience. Nice weejo
Excellent combo! Never I'd be watching Chef James reacting to Future Canoe's freestyle rendition of renowned recipes that somehow works at the end! And the shade thrown over Jamie's version is like garlic that adds more flavor to all of these!
More to come! ;) haha
Chef James rocking the orange polo 😁
The “sorry children” moment had me deceased 😂😂
😂
It had me too, James finally did one after all the Uncle Roger reactions, i'm proud
The greatest thing about this channel is that he often insults himself to make us laugh. Also, the primary reason is that he is more like us. We don't always have all the ingredients with us and have to either substitute or adjust with it. He is realistic. Really love this channel and your's too. Love from India.
Future Canoe's videos are so enjoyable - very different from how cooking channels on YT usually present themselves - happy to see you reacting to him!
What is really great about Future Canoe is that he doesn’t always have the right ingredients.. because that’s what is the situation for most non-foodies .. and feeling like you HAVE to HAVE the specific ingredients in order to make these things is a limiting factor.. both logistical, time and financial..
So seeing an alternative way to make the dishes with ingredients that are sometimes more common pantry staples, is really helpful and freeing for some..
His dry humor is the big bonus 😂
FutureCanoe may have experience in hospitality, but I think that makes the contrast to his at-home laziness more appealing - he knows not to wash away a fond but also can't be assed to go to the store for a couple of ingredients if he's got most of them already. I totally relate! Who can say they haven't winged it in the kitchen before?
most chefs don't want to cook after working 18 hours
As a hospitality worker myself, I agree
Your content is so solid James. You don’t need the polo.
Everything you add is so informative and you’re entertaining and naturally charming. Dude. You slay. Be you. ❤
I appreciate that!
Butter gravy with no kasoori methi is basically a crime. But I like his delivery style.
ETA: Kalonji is not sesame seeds! It's nigella/onion seeds.
Googled kasoori methi cuz I've never heard of it before and oh it's just fenugreek. Damn here I thought there was some massive secret hidden spice the Indians don't tell anyone else about to make butter chicken lmao
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN but specifically, it's dried fenugreek leaves. We use dried leaves, fresh leaves and seeds for different things. They have different flavours.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN It's the Hindi name of dried fenugreek, yes. (Fresh and dried are used differently.)
You come off as so much more mature in this and indeed other newer videos than in your older videos I've watched, in the way that you approach and critique the recipe, process and choices the cook makes in their video. You have, at least in my opinion, really grown, if not as a person (bit of a short time for that innit) then as a content creator. Good job, way to go for 1mil subs.
Thank you so much for the nice comment! I think I have so as well but I still need to improve!
FutureCanoe is an international treasure.
I've been waiting for this reaction for weeks! So glad you finally reacted to him, I hope more of this come soon.
More to come! :)
Uncle James in orange Polo! The genius of seasoning the boards and plates rather than the food LOL. The well known pizzeria, Lucali in Brooklyn uses wine bottles to stretch the dough.
🤣
I think whats great about FC is that he just keeps it real. Does he like the dish? yes or no, he'll tell you. Does he have everything a recipe asks for? No? He either leaves it out or subs something else in. Plus he always thanks you for watching
19:48 this fork has lore of it`s own!
Future Canoe is relatable. He usually lacks half the equipment and part of the ingredients to perfectly follow recipes, but he improvises and it often turns out alright. And if it doesn't turn out well he tells us.
The way you look in the camera and chuckle makes me feel like we're friends 😅
I like how genuine you are, bud.
I also make naan on a tawa. Lamb donner every weekend.
The ligma fork is a very versatile kitchen tool.
I enjoy learning from professional chefs. Learning from them is more like “what am I doing that is horrible wrong” with a slight mix of “what’s worth doing better”. Future Canoe is the perfect mix of both.
My wife has a crush on chef James and I don't blame her

I like FutureCanoe he's a blast to watch, and I found surprisingly honest about how he feels about what he made and how it looks as he's making it. Obviously, he makes his videos with a lot of tongue in cheek but in the end, he sometimes gets an edible product.

This looks actually pretty good!
My favorite pizza place got purchased by an Indian family and I was worried they would change the products and recipes of the usual menu that was so good!
But not only they've kept the existing ones, they have added new items and my now favorite is their butter chicken pizza!
So, they are using the same pizza dough base, brush some garlic butter, add the butter chicken, sprinkle of green peppers, then the cheese and hop in the oven!
This is sooo good, you have to try this! 😛😁
Thanks James, you are the best!
That sounds interesting. I guess the pizza dough substitutes as a big naan. And cheese would go with the chicken and the tomato based sauce. They sound like creative fusion chefs.
@@angelachouinard4581 You've got me thinking that the crust has more the texture and taste of nan bread, not their regular pizza dough that I've been getting for years!
But it might be the same just cooked differently, like a nan, before making the pizza?
Anyways, it's very good!😛😁
But I'll ask next time I go!
Thanks!
@@yolnow4ever515 As long as you like it, that's the important thing.
Future Canoe is such a great channel. On first glance, his food comes out looking gross, he makes tons of substitutions, and everything points towards him just being a jokester; but there's subtle hints towards him being a seasoned -cutting- -board- veteran in the kitchen who just can't be bothered to care too much.

14:57 Costco is what is called a wholesaler. They buy by the lot instead of by unit, like a grocery store would, which allows them to set lower prices, as their profit margins aren't as steep, but most of their money is made via membership fees. They also have a couple things that are considered calculated losses, their $1.50 hot dog combo and their $5 rotisserie chickens, they take the hit on it as they tend to drive sales further by enticing people with the prospect of exceptional deals.
Don't they have gas stations at some stores as well? I imagine that makes up for some of the loss.
@bscar Surprisingly, with gas stations, they aren't the most profitable, but it is a measure that does drive traffic to their stores, both figuratively and literally, as you do get reduced membership pricing as a perk, which again, incentives prospective shoppers to want get a membership. And even with their lower pricing model, because we as consumers see lower market prices, we are more driven to purchase even more than normal. The 'calculated losses' they have with their hot dogs and chickens just means those aren't the money makers, but drive sales to the store in general, the profit margins aren't great but they aren't hemorrhaging losses either.
@@isaiahbaker4910 I get the profit by volume model.
I've only ever dealt with Sam's Club, but that was awhile back as the closest store- same with Costco- is an hour away. Hardest part of SC was finding room in the house for a 48 roll pack of extra large toilet paper and 24 rolls of paper towels.
IIRC they're both similar business styles

True in Techno and his making Naan.
Your commentary throughout was wonderful, well done. I would put in the effort but there a wonderful Indian restaurant that was so shocked that I knew Garam Marsala was that they took me back to see their Tandoor.
FutureCanoe is great. The deadpan delivery makes him unique. The one thing I notice about western butter chicken is typically it is much sweeter, sometimes unreasonably so. From my time traveling through Asia and the subcontinent it has actual spice and chilli heat. Not face melting spiciness and not the type of heat that makes it uncomfortable on the way out but it is present. As for FutureCanoe's attempt I'm not sold on the walnuts. But other than that and the lack of chilli kick I'd eat it happily if I was served that as a guest. It's not restaurant quality but I kind of think it's a really good home cook attempt
You should review more of his videos. I love his videos so much and I want to know what other people think.
