You are very close to being referred to in my house by first name only - "Joshua said to do it this way". That is a good thing.

I just used the same slice thingy you did with the carrot.

I have my first jar of pickled fingers in the fridge.

I know this is a very old vid by now but I’ve only just found Joshua’s channel and every time I watch his vids it really makes me want to experiment and get super good at cooking and baking and be that cool grandma that every ones gonna be like “oh yeah she makes literally the best pickles, cookies, bread, pasta, etc.” LOVE THE VIDEOS *chefs kiss*

I love your openings. Always makes me feel like a stalker who just got busted hiding in your cabinet. Only instead of calling the cops, you teach me how to ferment stuff.

[Alexandar]

Discovered your channel at random and i must say... as a self learned cook, o boy o boy, you have really, i mean really good tutorials and vids, keep it up, see you at 1mil. cheers

Josh just wanna say thank you for making these videos. I have been learning how to cook for a while, it's my passion. I have learned a lot from you and thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.

Josh I just revisited this video after grabbing a ton of peppers from the local Asian market. Your new vids have a ton of production which is awesome, BUT I really love how positive and funny you are in these old vids! You don't always need to throw shade at the fast food companies as you destroy them. We all need positivity and encouragement right now in these 2020 times. Keep up the good work brother!

You just HAVE to try this for pickles: ginger, garlic, bird eye chili, honey, bay leaves and mustard seeds. Use a good amount of ginger. Just made these and had a taste. I am high on picles now. Have to make more tomorrow.

for cucumber pickles i find salting them and letting them sweat for 30 minutes renders a much crisper or snappier pickle. just don’t forget to rinse them thoroughly before adding the pickling brine.

I love canning and pickling. Starting my pepper and tomato seeds for this years garden. It’s gonna get crazy. I bought a few more fermentation buckets that are usually used for fermenting beer or wine but I use them to ferment chili peppers for around 3 months and make hot sauce. Mmmmm.

[marctaladay]

I started experimenting with home made pickles at start of Covid-19 lockdown. My girlfriend loves the things. I even tried to pickle eggs. We discovered neither of us like pickled eggs. Lol.

I've been making pickles in canning baths for years by my grandma's recipe, but I always thought you had to wait six months to open them, and so we'd have an annual full day of pickling to make lots of jars, then wait, then hope we made enough to last until last year's batch ran out. I am soooo excited to know I can just make a jar a week and eat them without worrying about all the canning baths and sealing jars, and know I won't ever run out!!!

I'm gonna pickle lettuce, you can't tell me how to live my life!

[yolandaestrella]

I've never tried pickled lettuce, but piclkled cabbage is actually really good. One of my favorites in fact. With a little black peppercorns, whole all spice and cloves, and oregano leales.

[lome]

Joshua!! Thank you soooo much for these videos!! You’ve inspired me to make so many homemade foods. I now have a passion for it. So far, from your recipes, I’ve made pickled carrots, pickles, chicken broth, pasta, and I’m so excited to try more. Thank you for making the recipes super easy to follow for us regular folk. Lol. Keep making more content! I’m so excited to see what other vids you have planned :)

[mako]

For an "Japanese" pickling twist, try equal parts: Mirin, Sake, Rice Vinegar (and +/-1 tbsp salt). I'll leave the aromatics to your imagination :)

[rlamacraft]

Love the style of these videos; just so fun and entertaining, whilst being really informative!

My grandmom used to make bottled raw mango pickle (without any spices) and i loved it as a kid. I want to learn to make it now. Thank you for this.

[IlReScimmione]

Tried them yesterday, with green peppers. They are awesome. Thank you as always!
