    Thanks everyone for watching and for your great comments!

    This is somehow sadder to watch than Jack’s version. All those ingredients looked fresh and delicious on their own, and they had to be subjected into a witch’s cauldron.

    • @lucretialee3691
      @lucretialee3691 Рік тому +54

      There are better ways. I grew up on a lot of homemade veg soups, and a dish called Scouse, which was made of leftover root veg and some cubed up meat (beef, lamb or mutton). Where Jack's garbage stew goes wrong is putting pickled and tined food in and adding the beer. Another good way of using up any cooked meat is to dice it finely, add it to some boiled potatoes then mash up the potatoes like you usually would. Pop under the grill for a reheat and crust, and you can eat it as either a side dish or a main one.

  • @Xeotroid
    @Xeotroid Рік тому +5

    Maybe replacing sweet potatoes with regular taters, pickled jalapenos with ground up dried ones, beer with just water (smaller amount and some butter added), omitting the lime, and using some proper seasoning could make it not as bad? I'm not American, so I had to search what Cajun spice mix is, and there's nothing out of the ordinary there, but if the store-bought mix has salt in it, you can't really control the ratio of salt and spices.

    This kind of reminds me of the days of living off of "trash casserole". We didn't have much food in the house during a period after my parents got divorced and what we did have wasn't enough to make a meal out of, so I invented something just to have something to eat where I threw whatever ground meat was in the freezer into a pan with whatever noodles and frozen vegetables we had. At the time I didn't really season it with anything other than pepper because we didn't have those in the house either. We were so hungry that we didn't notice how really bland it was, but at least even then I made something far more edible than this.

    I absolutely adore this channel. OG UA-cam vibes.
    Edit: I am weeping for that smoked turkey. One of my favorites.

      Don't worry, it came in a two pack, so the entire other leg (and the rest of this one) was eaten normally!
      I love eating turkey legs. With this beard, I feel like king of the cavemen or something.

    The flavours and textures must be just all over the place. I can't imagine cooking it. I'd hate to waste the food. You could use all those ingredients so much more effectively to make some tasty meals.

    Thank you for your sacrifice lol. Side note, can't wait for FF Tactics Remaster. I hope it lives up to the original. My favorite FF.

      Whoa, they're remastering it again? I ended up getting the one they released a few years ago for my Android on the Google Play store. It was good, but I kind of missed the poor localization of the language and also many of the in-map cutscenes were changed to videos!

      @@HonestTries I agree with you. It played the same but completely destroyed the dialogue and story.
