I don't usually comment on videos but I wanna say that I appreciate the rate you are releasing videos at!
The videos always give out a cozy feeling, and you managed to have a brand where the viewer feels like he is chilling with their friend group.
Well done!

i feel like Ben has been saying "Tinned Fish is making a comeback" for like 8 years now.

Barry, speaking with his mouth full: "I was taught manners!"

SLURPING IS NOT PART OF KOREAN CULTURE! It's just for more sound effect by creators these days, but it is and never was a polite thing to do. Very misunderstood in the mixture of various Asian cultures. It's rather considered as filthy as chewing with mouth open.

Would love to see another cuisine fusion video where you pull 2 cuisines from a hat and have to fuse them! Would love to see what the normals/chefs would do!

Hwachae does go back to the age told in the video, but as people didn't have access to ice as mentioned, it was just flower/fruit/vegetables soaked in cold river water. It's also an old-school go-to snack in bars cos its cold and sweet countered well to the alcohol. A famous household recipe includes a watermelon cut in half with all the inside scraped out to be mixed again in the bowl of watermelon peel with the rest of the ingredients.

So pleased to hear that tinned oily fish is making a "come-back". For many of us never went away! 😂

[mattirad]

That's crazy that "toilet paper tinned fish" is a trend! My country has a mandatory military service and field rations are all tinned food - including tinned tuna. It's super super common to soak toilet paper in the oil of the tuna and let it almost fry the tuna in its own oil. Especially in the winter when you just want something tasty and warm. I have friends that still do it as civilians because they like the taste!
Personally I would let it burn until there isnt any more fuel because it will always be consistently cooked through and I feel a miniscule more healthier because most of the oil has burnt off

I'm with Barry about the slurping. I absolutely dislike ASMR videos. They just make me feel squidgy.

[escapist]

The ASMR bit made me irrationally angry

[stangerrits]

If pudding rice would work the same in a cocktail, cooking the rice afterwards might give a nice twist on your rice pudding! Worth the experiment I would say 😋

Ebbers on TikTok is like me teaching my nan how to send an email.

[valliarlette]

Thank you for making the rice paper thing. Now I don’t have to.

[omrinygate]

The last trick is something we used to do in the army for the battle rations - we got tuna cans and would put toilet paper on the top and light it to make it tastier

[bojk]

Can we appreciate how great the Shirt looks on Jamie! I would love to see more of that style cause not everyone can pull this of🔥

[wulfandeadwacer]

This channel has become such a safe space for me recently. Every time I feel a bit anxious I know a sorted video will sort me out. Thank you so much for the great content guys!

[robopecha]

i am pretty sure if koreans eat with their families via video call, it is not called a mokbang. a mokbang is a literal "eating show", so its a show for other people to watch. and probably popular because in korea everyone is on a diet and feels better when watching others eat a lot.

[markevans]

that slurping and sniffing will never be comforting.

I live in a hurricane area. That paper towel trick to heat canned fish might come in handy if I have to endure a power outage for a few days.

About the smoked fish:
As a military person we would sometimes get canned tuna, bread, beans and corn to eat if we were in the field. We would always smoke the tuna. Put some toilet paper on the tuna and light it. Gives it a really good flavor
