❤🎉 I love all your content and me you're so sweet I'm also not trying to be a downer but I had a helix mattress and if you're not in a drier climate area it will mold. It also turned into a crater where I sleep on it so like it didn't hold form it just turned into a hole me sleeping in a big hole in the middle of my mattress😅
It's true, Emmy. We love you to pieces but you've put your name behind a poor product. Our kindness to you is to just tell you the truth as gently as possible.
The respect Emmy speaks with when talking about literally ANY FOOD, no matter the looks, the texture or where it comes from. It really teaches us to value every single thing on this planet. Thank you for this, Emmy
I agree 100%; she is just like my mom, and I was raised this way. I grew up being introduced to foods from all over the world, and my folks had us trying foods that in this country are considered weird, gross, etc. They were (mostly, like, 90%) delicious and I'm SO very grateful that we were raised to be very adventurous eaters. I LOVE the joy of being fed something from another culture!
Love your show. BTW, barnacles are not mollusks. They are crustaceans. Think of a little shrimp-like animal living in a little limestone house, standing on its head, kicking food into its mouth. That's a barnacle.
This might be my favorite unusual (to me) food review I've seen of yours. When you opened up the little shell to reveal the little tentacle thingies I shouted at the tv, "Whaaaattttt???" We can always count on you!
Hey! I'm from Galicia and have eaten these my whole life for special occasions at my grandad's!!! You usually boil them with a couple of laurel leaves too, and you really don't need scissors to eat them! You kinda just split it with your hands to remove the outer part and then the 'neck' is stuck to the top part so you just kind of suck the inside part out and chew it in your mouth! I don't know if I explained myself too well, but it was really cool seeing you try them! I never really thought they were weird but they are quite a rarity I guess
OMG Emmy, you should make a whole series called "Wait, You Can Eat These?" I think that would be epic, and to see varieties of strange foods that we thought arent edible
Hello ,I´m from Portugal and we love barnacles (they are called "Percebes" in portuguese) ,they are truly a delicatessen, we say that they have the taste of the sea inside, very expensive shellfish because it´s super dangerous to harvest them... usually you just eat them, by sucking on them holding the claw, no need to cut them in pieces! Much love from Lisbon , 😘
lol, I had them when I visited spain as a teen, and yep they are delish despite the looks. Also Basque style squid ink soup I had further east, fried baby river eels and monkfish is some more Spanish _'sounds/looks like hell as an ingredient, but taste like heaven'_ seafood. Spanish food is truly one of the greats, up there with French and Italian cuisine, but it is rather different; a lot more pork and seafood focused.
A big hello from Portugal!! felt so happy seeing these little creatures here on this channel, as they are so ABUNDANT everywhere in portugal! Big hugs to everyone.
hi emmy, i’ve been watching you for 8 or so years now and i just think it’s so cool that you’re still making videos. i’m just surprised you haven’t ran out of things to make a video on
Glad you got to try them :) Btw, Galicia (not to be confused with the historical Polish region) is the northwestern region of Spain, which actually has one of the best climates for gooseneck barnacles. They're called percebes there and they are delicious just boiled in saltwater. Gathering them is one of the most perilous fishing activities since the best ones are found on the rocks with strong waves and currents. Part of the reason they're so expensive.
Also, traditionally, you don't cut them - you just tear the skin off and eat them while attached to the claw. I don't recommend eating the claw though.
I’m Spanish although not from Galicia, but they really are known for them, they’re called percebes in Spanish 😄 they’re basically like eating the sea, and we usually suck them out, not peel them. I have mixed feelings about them, I haven’t still figured out if I like them or not 😂 I feel like they’re a fancy snack, like sunflower seeds 🤣
emmyさん！i am fan from japan! i first started watching your videos about 5 years ago but lost track of your account after some time and just rediscovered you recently! i was so happy to see you still uploaded since they were always my comfort videos🥹いつも応援しています 🫶🏻
I was one of those “weird” kids who were born Scottish but grew up in Portugal so eating things like barnacles and squid and swordfish was my staple, it’s actually sad back living in Scotland now it’s hard to find !
@@nowheregirl3858 yeh I’m like most of the people of Scotland, I won’t speak for all though, when I say… “ I can’t be arsed traversing the highlands to get there”
It is a bit of a trek! I'm sure good seafood and fish markets and restaurants can also be found around the lowland coasts and rivers like the Clyde and Forth.@@EdinMike
@@nowheregirl3858 there is phenomenal seafood in both the east and west coasts of Scotland in the central belt, you are right though you gotta make the effort to head up north for the best ! I do have to travel 6 miles to get to a fishmonger, which is sad considering Edinburgh is a coastal city.
Aloha. I’ve had that same thought about oysters, sea urchins, and a whole bunch of different critters. Oh, I sliced my foot, or poked my hand, maybe I should just eat it?
I thought of that with artichokes! My guess has always been that we saw animals eat them and thought "hmm maybe we can get sustenance from that too". The only ones I really have trouble with are the ones that can poison you if you don't cook them right- how did we figure that one out!
Thanks, Emmy! My husband and I love to learn something new -- and you teach us so much. Thank you. These are gorgeous little works of art. Would love to try them some day. :)
I'm from the north coast of Spain where we consider gooseneck barnacles a delicacy (mostly for their price, a kg of good quality ones is about 200 bucks) We call them "percebes", by the way
What a great find, here in the netherlands we only have white binacles, and green ones the green one can be eaten is plumpy round, skin is green and inside white like a scalop
Emmy is probably the only meat eating content creator who could get vegans to watch. Lol truly though, Emmy you are a joy to watch and a light in my life. You are a staple household name in my home and we watch every video. Its crazy to think you've been part of my life for 13 years and I grew up with you. Now in my 30s, I've shown your videos to my family and they absolutely adore you. You make me want to come back to TH-cam and out of retirement and begin filming again
Growing up in New England one of my childhood memories is fried clams with bellies. The necks are chewy and the bellies are creamy. Most places outside of New England only have clam strips. Your talk of steamers reminds me of those yummy clams
Thank you so much! I lived in Spain in the early 90s, before the Web and easy info searches, and I was fascinated to see these at the grocery store. But no one I knew could tell me what they were or how to cook/eat them. And, since I didn’t know what they were, I could’t try them at a restaurant, either. Loved learning about them!
I'm from Galicia and they are good, for me they taste like sea in a good way. To eat them yo usually tear that skin by puncturing the skin near the head with the nail and then just tug both parts apart, easy and don't need scisors. xD Emmy, I really need you to try "Pulpo a Feira". Is an easy recipe that has only octopus, olive oil, paprika (pimentón) and salt... and everyone who try it, fall in love with this dish.
Cutting them with scissors made me chuckle too xD my dad's from Galicia and I've never seen scissors used on them before this, but i have seen them used on boiled octopus. And I agree that a great seafood dish for her to try is pulpo a feira with some yummy potatoes :)
@@YourWifesBoyfriend I don't eat mammals, such as dolphins, at all because I believe that they are akin to humans (since we're also mammals). I even do my utmost to eat dolphin-safe tuna. But as a pescatarian, to limit the amount species we can eat based not only on sentience and similarity of cognitive function, but by an organism's measure of adaptability, limits us to only eating legumes and fruit. Do you only eat legumes and fruits/seeds?
@@YourWifesBoyfriend What if we only eat octopuses that already breeded? They develope a severe dementia that leads them to die in arround a week of suffering.
I grew up eating this in Portugal. It's strange how people are weirded out by this. We don't use scisors to open it though, we just use our hands. Need to eat some soon!❤
Thanks for trying these. They recently came on my radar. I'm glad they proved as tasty as everyone claims. But I have to admit, they sorta freak me out.
Portuguese here and these are quite common at sea food places around here - and one of my favourites, actually! We usually just grab the claw with one hand and user the other to twist the leathery part at the bottom, then it just slides off.
I LOVE THESE (from Portugal) we do a simple saltwater boil, just as you did, i really like them with a cocktail sauce, soy or even with just melted butter with garlic and black pepper, I absolutely adore it! I think ripping them bellow the shell might be more effective than cutting since it will rip where the skin meets the tentacle bits and the meat will come attached so you can bite really close to the head without wasting anything at all. The ones you got are really big, I’m surprised they can get to that size
Looking at these, I was struggling to work out which part is actually edible!- it’s amazing how we discover these weird looking plants and animals and just decide, “hey - it might be tasty- let’s give it a go!”
I'll say it yet again. Whenever I load up TH-cam, there is a video of Emmy there that makes me go, "WTF IS THAT?!!!". Thanks for all of your content. I really really enjoy it.
@@opheliaroninHire do you define what's "meant" to be eaten? People all over the world eat EVERYTHING, and they are sustained, fed, and enjoy those things very much. Different doesn't mean wrong. If you eat beef in India, that's sacrilegious. Same with pork in many places. So, I'm curious how you define this?
I'd LOVE to get a chance to eat these! If never heard of them until your video, so THANK YOU! I'm a huge, adventuring eater, and want to try nearly everything edible on this planet. Your videos over the years have made me pretty envious, I admit! 😁👍
Ngl when I saw the thumbnail I was like "Oh, Emmy is eating horrors beyond our comprehension" because I couldn't parse what that is at all lol. And then I was also surprised you can eat barnacles. I'd try it! Maybe once I'm in spain I'll try those there.
Oh Emmy! As a Galician myself I was so surprised to see you try these! As you said they are a treat and very expensive in Galicia. We call them 'percebes'.
As someone with Galician Spanish roots on my dad's side, it's nice to see people from this gorgeous region in the comments celebrating this delicious seafood - I love Galicia and its amazing gastronomy :) Also, perecebes are so well known there, that wasn't there even a show there about the fishermen that catch them? My aunt told me about it since some of the people in my family were in the fishing industry.
@@lin1130 Yes, there was a documentary about a young woman who follows the family's tradition of harvesting percebes. I thin there's even an insta profile of her, where she shows her day to day life and struggles with the fishing industry! I'll send it to you if I find it =) I miss Galicia so much, looking forward to visit next summer #morriña
@@lingw0o0 I'd love to see the documentary if you find it. And even though I'm not from there, teño morriña tamén :) there's something so magical and nostalgic about it, and I miss the seafood too!
I remember an article I read a while ago it said they are very important for the pollution environment because they purify the water with their natural filters 😅
Barnacles also attach themselves to large sea creatures like whales! Fun fact: ancient and medieval Europeans used to believe that barnacle geese spawned from goose barnacles, hence their current common names!
I am eternally grateful for Emmy and her adventurous palate. In my wildest dreams, I could never touch that barnacle, let alone think of eating it. Emmy is a vital service provider.
02:37 Barnacles are actually crustaceans, closer related to shrimp, crab, & lobster. There was a long debate as to what phylum they belonged to - frustrating even Darwin. I believe it’s due to convergent evolution that they are so “mollusk-like”.
Hi Emmy! I think it’d be really fun if you tried conch sometime. Maybe you could try some different ways to prepare it too! National food of the Bahamas 🇧🇸🐚😊

Such a creative description! You should write, and for kids, especially. 😊
wow thats such a good explanation
Love that description…and I must say they DID have that sweet lobster (the skinny legs) flavor.

is it weird that i kinda want to wear that barnacle like a fascinator?
It would make a pretty cool prosthetic or headpiece for an aquatic-based costume.
Right 😂😂😂😂
I’d be cool for a pirate theme/steam punk I think.
A Fascinator for Ursula, perhaps? 😅
That's fabulous! And i would definitely pay money for, and wear that! ☺️💚🙏🕊

I love how adventurous Emmy is when it comes to food!🤷♀️🥰👍🏻
i learn something new everyday, i learned barnacles are edible
You are so brave. There's no way I could bring myself to try these
you not only get a great video you also get a lesson in the structure of the barnacle and how it survives in the ocean very fascinating
I LOVE THESE (from Portugal) we do a simple saltwater boil, just as you did, i really like them with a cocktail sauce, soy or even with just melted butter with garlic and black pepper, I absolutely adore it!
I think ripping them bellow the shell might be more effective than cutting since it will rip where the skin meets the tentacle bits and the meat will come attached so you can bite really close to the head without wasting anything at all. The ones you got are really big, I’m surprised they can get to that size
I love gooseneck barnacles! I think they're such an underrated shellfish
These are so sooo!! Please tell me you’re keeping and cleaning the shells for a craft/jewelry later!

Gooseneck was good just sauteed in some butter when i tried it in Spain. Bit gritty when raw tho. They look more like goose feet than their necks.
8:30 my favorite part
Emmy... omg... While I respect your openness and willingness to try new things, I gotta say, I'm glad it's you and not me. 😳
They look prehistoric. I’d probably try them. My favorite shellfish are Penn Cove mussels. Penn Cove is an area off Whitney Island in Puget Sound.
I would save those shell bits and make jewelry out of them!
Right? So lovely.
Interesting ! Don’t think I’ll try them but I did learn something TY

I would definitely try them, but I think I'd want a little melted butter. Thanks for all your videos. You are very informative ❤❤❤
I remember an article I read a while ago it said they are very important for the pollution environment because they purify the water with their natural filters 😅
Hi Emmy! Actually, barnacles are arthropods, not molluscs. That brush you showed are actually jointed legs ;)
They are crustaceans, so they are related to crabs and lobsters
@@alexanderyuen3415crustaceans are arthropods
@@bfboobie yes i know
😄✏️Look at that. I came to write the very same thing. But thanks to you, I can better invest the time doing something beneficial to mankind.
Oh.😒🕰
Ooooh! I like the unique food reviews!!
Those are so beautiful!!!!
Emmy said she just squirted everywhere 😂😂😂 I couldn't resist lol
Barnacles also attach themselves to large sea creatures like whales! Fun fact: ancient and medieval Europeans used to believe that barnacle geese spawned from goose barnacles, hence their current common names!
Emmy youre so brave all the food test you do for us 😉💓
They do look like dragon claws 😂
Greetings from Galicia, barnacles taste like the sea, delicious.
I love barnacles we eat them in Portugal and they’re so good. I love it just because it’s so salty.
Wow...looking at It from here, the shells like mother of pearl😊
Who saw these stuck on a rock and thought “yummy”? lol
EMMYMADE!!! You have GOT to come to Northern Minnesota and try LUTEFISK and POTICA
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I tried lutefisk in this video: th-cam.com/video/aQiSAfGsebs/w-d-xo.html.
Oh, I would absolutely try these! I grew up eating conch all the time, would you say these are at all similar? Either way I’d love to try them.
I wonder if they’d go well in pasta
Those were beautiful!
The crafter in me wants to play with the leftovers...
I am eternally grateful for Emmy and her adventurous palate. In my wildest dreams, I could never touch that barnacle, let alone think of eating it. Emmy is a vital service provider.
02:37 Barnacles are actually crustaceans, closer related to shrimp, crab, & lobster. There was a long debate as to what phylum they belonged to - frustrating even Darwin. I believe it’s due to convergent evolution that they are so “mollusk-like”.
Hearing you chew it makes it worse 😂 thank you for being so brave and trying these things!
Hi Emmy! I think it’d be really fun if you tried conch sometime. Maybe you could try some different ways to prepare it too! National food of the Bahamas 🇧🇸🐚😊
Uuummmm. …NO!! Lol! That creeps me out! Sets off my trypophobia! But I still love you! 😂
SAME!
yup
I live in BC, and I’ve seen people collect these. I always wondered how they were eaten. Thanks for answering!
