Binging with Babish: Game of Thrones

This weekend we're welcoming back the show that has the monopoly on lurid violence, epic battles, and wholly unnecessary nudity: Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin's ability to describe the crunching of a skull is rivaled only by his ability to describe the crunching of a pastry, so it's only fitting that this sexy saga is home to some serious food porn. And revenge porn. And porn porn. I'm a main character in this show, so my life is decidedly in danger this week.

**I can't believe I should have to mention this, but do not actually ingest strychnine. It's poison. It was a joke. Don't be stupid.**

Million-subscriber special coming soon!

Recipes:

Fun fact: most pies made in the medieval times were not made for the pie crust to be eaten (even for nobles) in fact the pie crust didn’t even have butter so it was dry and hard as wood and was really just used as protective layer so you can just throw the pie into a sack and go. It was pretty much a bowl made out of flour.

I totally thought it was Frey Pie when I saw the thumbnail and worried how far you'd taken it

[brunshana]

You forgot to cook walder frey’s sons :(

4:58 Never thought I'd be instructed to "strain 2 cups of *blood"*

[LolDarrellLol]

"You're gonna die for some chickens?" "Someone is." is my favorite line in the whole show.

I really like you not only as a cook, but as a youtuber. Your voice is calm and comforting, you're funny without being over the top and you take these recreations seriously (many youtubers seems to be more focused on being funny) and genuinely try to make them work. You are just generally really likable! Kudos to you and keep up the good work.

I really like it when you make non-modern stuff. Like this or the bear stew. Its just really fun getting to see some abnormal foods on the show when most things would focus on just modern age stuff.

I imagine someone actually added strychnine to their wine. good on them.

[kalenproductions]

"they probably didn't have heavy cream", but the dothraki did have horses, and drank fermented horse milk if I remember right. SO I'm sure they might have had something similar

[dannyzep]

The way you said "I'm kidding we're using pig's blood." made me laugh more than I should have

[poopersnooper]

His humor blends in with his narrating so well that if you arent paying attention you miss it and I love every second of it.

[fullmetalheel]

I can now picture the dothraki gently placing figs on their blood pie and that's all thanks to you ❤

i thought the pigeon pie on the thumbnail was arya's people pie

[whynottalklikeapirat]

Here is a clue the missing part of the recipe:



Arya: They weren't easy to carve. Especially Black Walder

Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin',
Tossed salad and scrambled eggs

[elliottreiter]

you need to start a restaurant where your entire menu is food from shows/movies

[kopilatis]

About the lemon cake, instead of baking it in a tray, try baking it in a cake tin that is long and taller. Then instead of cutting circular pieces and wasting the leftover cake, just cut slices . Depending on the tin you cook it in, they can be really circular with much less waste.
