Binging with Babish: Grey Stuff from Beauty and the Beast

The 'grey stuff' from Beauty and the Beast has been falsely advertised as some sort of cookies-n-cream abomination, and it's about time we set the record straight. Yes I know that children at Disney World probably don't want to eat chicken liver mousse. Yes I know that it's taking whimsical license with a childhood classic to make it marketable and enjoyable for kids of a new generation. Shush, I'm cooking.

I always thought the "grey stuff" was savory. I was disappointed when I heard it was sold in Disney parks as sugary icing. I'm so glad Babbish made a savory grey stuff dish.

The grey stuff was obviously fresh cement

Producers: no ones gonna try to make this food in real life, just draw whatever

Babish:Hold my cute little whisk

just because of the clip at the beginning, it fucked the audio for the ENTIRE video.


Great methods from benevolent god YouTube.

Personally, I thought the grey stuff could've been mushroom pâté, but chicken liver mousse is probably just as good.

"Try the gray stuff,
Its delicious!
Don't believe me?
Ask the Babishes!"

1:30 Actually using chicken liver for the "gray stuff" may be the most accurate choice: in the italian voice over as Belle tastes the gray stuff Lumier sings something along the lines of "try the chicken, it's amazing".
As a kid that line was quite confusing because the stuff doesn't look like chicken at all
P. S. As you may have guessed English is not my first language, apologies if the grammar is not that good

The eat me cakes from Alice In Wonderland would be amazing to see you do.

Was this hit with a copyright strike as the audio has more echo than other episodes

[voicelessglottalfricative]

I like how YouTubes audio cancelling for copyrighted music is implemented through the WHOLE video?

Thank GOD you acknowledged that the grey stuff is CLEARLY 👏 not 👏 sweet 👏

Babish starting off the year strong with making the effort to decipher an animator’s plate of made up appetizers!

[oranmorton]

The unidentifiable pig in a blanket looking thing looks like a Scottish sausage roll, which incorporates puff pastry with ground pork, that is oven baked in long loaves and then cut into appetizers

your first batch of pancakes coming out weird means your using to much oil and those first batches are soaking it up and coming out weird. If you wipe the oil/butter on lightly with a tea towel or forgo it completely and use a nonstick pan all of them will come out uniform like our last batch. Working at Ihop cursed me with this knowledge.

Please do the hazelnut soup from Tangled

"to make sure everyone is acquainted"

Finally, some character development.

I've been saying for YEARS that the dessert version is a lie and based on how it's presented, it has to be some kind of pâté. I feel so validated!

[ruach]

I’m so happy somebody finally called out Disney for that grey stuff = weird cookie junk nonsense.

[sharmharan]

I always assumed the grey stuff was mushroom pâté as it’s the exact shade of grey as the animation - whereas the meat pâtés are slightly pinkish... Still appreciate the effort and nuance of this video!

[Fulgrim]

i know it’s a huge shot in the dark but anything from the Fallout cookbook?
