We need to see Mythical Chef Josh on Hot Ones, and then cross it over and have Sean Evans on Last Meals
THIS. This so much
I can just imagine all the crazy stuff Josh would do on hot ones.
TOTALLY agree, MODS PIN THIS SHIZ!!!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 facts though!
Make it happen!
Watching Lily become more deranged the longer she works for Mythical has become a highlight of the last few months
Exactly, her with a mischievous grin and spraying them with a hose is all I wanted to see for the "soggy bottom" 🤣
Vi is on her way too lmao
I can't get over the intro where she's just waving at a fridge behind Nichole
Mexican week was so frustrating as a Mexican. It made me realize that past episodes that I enjoyed, like Japanese week, probably annoyed Japanese people.
No, it wasn’t Joel and Matt dressing in sombreros. That was goofy and fun. It was Paul’s dumb*ss saying stuff that was blatantly not true.
They have very little exposure to Mexican cuisine and stuff. Yeah, I agree with you. It's kind of sad they're missing out on a lot of good food!
Paul Hollywood took a vacation to Mexico and decided he was now an expert on mexican cuisine. that's not actually a joke.
The mispronunciation bothered me sooo much. Like, I kinda get them not knowing how to make Mexican food properly because of their geography, but it takes literally seconds to look up how to pronounce things like "gallo." And I'm making fun of the hosts/judges, not the contestants, who we can give more of a pass bc they're crazy busy trying to juggle jobs and creating and practicing recipes.
Gwockeemolo made me want to claw out my eyes, and I’m Australian. Full sympathy!
Also, it's not like they should be completely unfamiliar with Spanish. Spain is literally right there, why do they not even know the basics rules of Spanish pronunciation
Lilly going from being shy and reserved to the second goofiest is the character arc we all deserved
She's hanging around Josh too much. Have you seen her GAINZ?
3rd. But yes.
Josh then Emily then Lily Imo
A lie I will not stand for
I hate how gen z talks.
As a Brit - HILARIOUS! Trever mentioning a cheeky Nandos was my highlight 😂
You wanna go bruv?
Them rinsing Paul Hollywood throughout is my favourite. And the accents... wow 🤣
As a Brit myself also the video started with the most annoying stereotype of them all. So I’m not even gonna watch the video because of that.
@@tpp95 oi you gonna have a wee cry mate?
I was literally coming here to say this!
i think it’s funny that trevor didnt take chemistry which is arguably the one required subject that has most to do with baking
Proofing is the process of dough rehydration.
Not rly you do not need chemistry to bake a bread :)
Chemistry wasn’t required in my high school in Canada. It was only an elective starting in grade 11 (is that junior in the US?).
We just had general science as a mandatory class in 9&10th grade and we never got through all the subjects we were supposed to cover😅
@@lisahoshowsky4251 its not a US thing. i live in the us and we arent required to take chemistry at my school apparently.. which i wish i had known before taking it during the pandemic 💀
@@demi0n You'll bake a bread but not a good one :P You think it's good until you learn about the science of baking and how it all works, then you make orgasmic bread.
I love Lilly, she's like Josh's long lost baby sister that he picks on with love and affection but undeniably supports her anyway
Trevor's "I'd like to invest" is a top-notch way of giving a yes-and.
I love how annoyed Josh was at the lack of seasoning on those Brittish tacos
If you can convince raccoons that it would be worth their time, you could probably train 10 of them as a high speed clean-up crew. They're smart and resourceful!
The Halloween episode of TGBO where they tried to make 'smores' was the only time I've ever truly felt offended on behalf of America
It was weird watching them make all the ingredients and making them so fancy. S'mores will always be graham crackers, Hershey's chocolate, and a marshmallow.
If you like chocolate mint candies try them in smores, so good
Using gingersnaps and white chocolate is bomb.
literally i screamed when i saw what paul was calling a smore. digestives don't even exist in america
@@derekdash4995 They do, you just have to order them online.
The tortilla rule is probably for people who cook their tortillas on a higher heat. I've always been told to have it on med-high/high to cook them. Id burn them at 2 mins bc they are done in 30 seconds per side or less once the pan is hot enough.
I crank that mf thang on high heat, I cannot be bothered to wait and just flip every other time while taking stuff out for said tortilla
And I either get a nice lil golden lines running through the tortilla or I let her get some burn spots cause that mf crunchiness goes hard 😤
@@okwardmexican3800 yesss! Cook them fast so you can eat them faster lolol!
The heat was 100% not hot enough to properly cook the tortillas. They were so pale and it should brown in very short time. While some type of flame/grill is best a really hot cast iron pan is an good option too.
Yeah all those tortillas looked terrible. I was a bit surprised by that. Cast iron is fantastic, I got to say, I usually cook a tortilla right on the burner (gas). Easiest way for me, especially for small tortillas and you can just flip with your hand.
Also is it just me or were they using a wheat/corn flour blend? They look like the awful mixed tortillas you find at supermarkets in like Canada
medium heat. my greasy heart, she breaks
it seems whetehr if you're english or american nobody can cook tortillas rigth and have weird assumptions about how they should look and taste
Like, I doubt a tortilla has to be SOGGY to be good.
I actually wonder if the humidity of being in the tent outside in Britain changes the results of anything. I know that when some of the contestants come into the tent it's completely different than cooking in their homes (obviously different ovens and such) but I feel like the humidity/temperature would be a factor.
It definitely does, I’ve seen some episodes where its hot out and things like butter cream frosting melt
It is! It has ruined many a dish. I am in Florida and have to adjust recipes according to my humidity
I just want to let Maggie know how much I appreciate the work she does in mouth-sound removing. Not all heros wear capes.
I LOVE the new intro for Myth Munchers. I'm so happy it is sticking around
"You should take these crystals home and do some affirmations." DAMN LILY! 😂
Never stop or calm Trevor!! It gives Josh a taste of his own medicine! LMAO! I love this entire team!!
Gordon Ramsey calling Josh a donut was hilarious
Agreed
Yeah, it was cool to see Mythical Kitchen have a small UA-camr on
I liked that train wreck of an episode when it aired. And Trevor’s opening British impression was spot on bruv
'Will It Cannoli?' needs to happen on GMM now.
Yeah. But you know they'll fill one with pig's blood. *Wretch*
No.
i thought they did?
Josh Vianai and lily: *stirrin Carmel peacefully*
Trevor: BRUV
U WOT, M8
Hearing Josh say “Mierda! Mierda!” was enough to have my day made 😂
To give GBBO some credit, I think the hydration quote is more in comparison to a bread dough rather than compared to other pizza doughs. I have no defense for the Mexican episode though and I was cringing watching it as well
The only part of this to which I object is that they selected 2 minutes over 1 minute for the tortillas. Typically tortillas are cooked at higher than medium heat, which would likely yield you something like big corn cracker if you went with 2 minutes on each side.
Fumbled the hydration one. 65% is high hydration for most pizzas. Most commercial pizzas sit around 55%.
I thought the point is that the myth said you need to OVER hydrate and compared it to a typical hydration pizza
"Don't, I need to learn" He says as if he ever learned to open the old food processors without great difficulty
when I think " I need Mexican cooking tips" I always think "lets ask the British".
I hate you too don't worry
“Oh nooooii he said dat about maaeeeyyy?” 😂 impeccable accent, Josh. Never give up.
Vi is still such a gem. Im so happy every time I see her on this channel
The hydration theory from TGBBO is pretty weird when heat is what speeds up the rise. Typically, instant yeast dies at 54 degrees C, so you can use water at 45 deg C along with just a tiny amount of sugar to kickstart the yeast and get a fast rise. Doesn't do anything for enzyme development though which just takes time.
i was confused at the 2 hours of rise-
when i make my pizza dough, i just use slightly above skin-temp water with the yeast and it's done within the hour
Haven't started watching, but I'm calling it now: Paul Hollywood has more myths busted than Gordon Ramsey
Josh should make him his new nemesis
Task raccoon feels like Josh is pitching a bit for rick and morty lmao
Well, if you can legitimately get a helper monkey if you're disabled...😁
“ *MORTY, I TURNED MYSELF INTO A TASK RACOON MORTY, IM RACOON RIIICK* “
It seems like something from inter dimensional cable
@@tylerhamilton9056 hahaha yes exactly, I just commented that, I'm so glad someone else shares the same opinion
Damn, some of my best memories of growing up is eating authentic Mexican pizzas and cannolis.
So for caramel, my own personal experience is that the sugar won’t seize (crystallize like it did for them) if a) you have a perfectly clean pot b)you put the water in first and keep the sugar from the edge initially and c) you put a little salt in it. The salt makes a huge difference. I’ve yet to have a caramel seize since I switched to use unsalted butter and put the salt in with the water and the sugar 🤷♀️
While yes, you can make caramel with no crystals without corn syrup, the corn syrup makes it much easier since it’s actually chemically stopping crystal formation due to it’s different sugar type. It’s long glucose molecules get in the way of the sucrose trying to crystallize. Another thing that helps is “washing” the sides of your pot down with a wet pastry brush to help remove any stubborn sucrose crystals from becoming seed crystals. Also not stirring it after it begins to boil as the agitation can also cause crystallization.
this is because of how recrystalization works,you can actually drop a bit of sugar crystals into the caramel and cause it too the crystals grow from other crystals the edges are called nucleation sites,even a scratch in the pot can cause crystals to stick the the metal crystals and grow
@@13374me I am gonna be that put and say some folks like myself try to steer clear of nasty corn syrup and you also have plenty of folks allergic to corn syrup so learning to cook all natural caramel is a wonderful thing to do/learn regardless...
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 if you're allergic or don't want corn syrup go with agave because honey off the shelf actually contains corn syrup to stop it from crystalizing on the shelf when it dries out
@@Aaron-zu3xn that is why you do don't buy cheap honey. I buy organic slightly priced honey that does have tendency to crystallize and the only ingredient in the honey is honey.. that other crap honey has extra ingredients which is no good at all...
The "refried beans" they made in that episode were the actual worst
Worse than the "guacamole"? I beg to differ...
It truly was the saddest episode I think I've ever seen. 😭
They were both horrendous!
The sitcom opening was EVERYTHING😱
I'd love if you would do a cheapest hot dog taste test. Growing up with to brothers, we use to have the cheap hotdogs and instead of buns it was wrapped in sandwich bread. The cheapest chili and onion. Can you make it fancy?
Hotdogs wrapped with sandwich bread!! Yes!! I did that when I was at home hanging out with a friend and they looked at me like I was crazy 😭😭. You're always gonna run out of/not have buns but actually hotdogs are always gonna be available in my household
"You should take these crystals home and do some affirmations" daaamn forget molten sugar! Lily's the one dealing serious burns xD
i guarantee that Mexican week on bake off does not represent us. i was also shouting at the tv
Lily was so funny this episode! She’s always great but you can tell she’s really starting to find her place with the group and gain chemistry with the whole cast! I remember when Vi and Trevor had to do that too! Time flies
I am mexican and I cringed watching Josh putting the tortilla into the pan that way omg my abuela is crying
Trevor is just a walking comment section full of memes and I LOVE IT
I’ll never forgive GBBO for “guacimolo”.
Tortillas need to be cooked fast in high heat
As an ex wife to a British guy, I'm really living for this "are the Brits full of bull" series
You got hurt by one Brit and now you've got a problem with all of us? You yanks are soft 😂
@@RyanG0899 *proceeds to generalize all Americans*
@Red 😂 Don't try to foil them with logic and reason.
Yankoids
Living in London, my friends joked that I (and all Americans) don't understand Mexican food is NOT actually a human right, we have it in USA because we share a border with Mexico. I still on some level don't understand.
A lot of what is commonly called Mexican food is really from Texas and northern Mexico. How many "Mexican" restaurants sell anywhere near authentic Oaxacan moles?
Y'all, if you heat your corn tortillas on a gas burner, 30 seconds on each side should do it and work in quick, small batches.
My aunt had a pet racoon, it would go in the kitchen and throw all the silverware out of the drawer and then hide in the drawer. It was like Dr Jekel and Mr Hyde!!!
WHAT😂😂😂
I LOVE the 90s sitcom intro, and I'm going to have to require it for every episode from now on. Thank you.
I love y'all, I really do, you've gotten me through some hard days and made me smile. That being said, those tortillas look stodgy af. They're supposed to bubble after being on the skillet for a few seconds and use a medium high heat. I spent a large amount of quarantine perfecting my tortilla game and I promise if they aren't inflating after a few seconds, something has gone wrong.
Even with corn tortillas, though?
No.
Learning that Pillsbury owns the rights to "Bake Off" is why I watch anything with Josh in it.
What's with the undercooking?
The tortillas looked outright colorless with no spotting. I know they made corn ones, but that doesn't seem right to me. The pizza dough had no browning or delicious crisp and crunch. Good pizza dough should have some blackening, IMO.
At least the cannolis looked cooked and sounded crunchy.
You should do an episode where someone teaches josh how to make something he’s never made before. Like how lily was teaching him!
"someone teaches josh how to make something he’s never made before" how about a successful british accent? 🤣
@@TheSoycrates 😭😭😭 damn
I wanna see Josh do a Big Mac pizza versus a regular Big Mac just to see him inhale an entire pizza.
Big Mac Pizza vs. Pizza Big Mac ?
Lily's "Jeff" at the beginning cracked me up and I can't even tell you exactly why lol
Put the tortilla in a towel, but the towel shouldn't be wet. What the actual hell are they doing?!?!?!
Yeah, I could understand it being slightly damp, but not full on wet O.o
Right? Isn't the towel just to keep the tortillas warm? What's with this whole tortilla steamer thing?
17:37 love Lily draping her hair on the dough followed by Josh planting his nose right into it
20:31
HFCS is not glucose; it's fructose. It is literally in the name, Josh!
And yes, the distinction actually matters.
The opening. A masterpiece. Absolutely amazing.
Corn syrup is an invert sugar. Using some invert sugar in a sugar/protein/heat candy mixture will help keep the sugar from crystallizing as you heat it. You won't always get crystallization without it, but it gives you more leeway.
I regularly make toffee to add to chocolate chip cookies and have also made marshmallow several times and have never had the sugar crystallize on me even though I don't use invert sugars
21:10 As someone from England, that’s actually a decent general British impersonation!
They tried to cook neopolitan style dough in a regular oven and are surprised that its wet and floppy 😶
The Mythical Kitchen need to get themselves a table top pizza oven or something because witnessing them hide emaciated pizza undersides from the camera is becoming upsetting.
You used “emaciated” incorrectly. The dough was not skinny or malnourished.
I was surprised to see Trevor pressing out the pizza crusts as I've always been taught to stretch them out over your hands with gravity helping 😅 by pressing aren't you flattening out all those air pockets that the yeast has created??
Lily is becoming my favorite! I love her sense of humor.
I hope one day the team gets Gordon Ramsay to be in a video as a surprise for Josh 😂
If they don't peel an avocado like it's a carrot imma be disappointed
I love the combo of Josh and Lilly!
These are the second saddest tortillas I've ever seen.
I would love a 10 minute video of Josh and Julian trying to pitch the best Sharktank idea. Or if someone could just make a compilation video for me.
I love that you just see Lily waving at the wall, like a psycho, during Nicole's intro lmao Also, does anyone know if -oli is always plural, and -olo is always singular? Just for my own need to know useless knowledge. Lol
I’m Mexican American and I’ve always been told to cook the tortillas until they puff up. That’s a good sign the maza is good.
FINALLY JOSH HAS SPOKEN THE WORDS OF ALL HOME COOKS!!! When lily put her cutter straight in the middle of the dough I was cursing all the gods. Nothing irks me more
The Idaho education system is exactly why Trevor is prepared for the chaos that is Mythical Kitchen
I like that Lily makes words Lily-sized.
The whole reason table sugar(sucrose) crystallizes when melting is that it's high purity of just sucrose which is glucose and fructose in a specific structure. This is how rock candy is made. Mix in any other sugar, like a spoonful of honey, corn syrup, etc and it won't crystallize as that's an impurity to the solid crystals. You can also just keep going and heat will break it down anyway. Up to you. Throwing it away is silly. Don't do that.
"I am a folder, I'm not ashamed of it!"
...and you shouldn't because ~that's how pizza is supposed to be eaten~. The Italians eat like that. That IS the correct way.
I wish I had their job. You get to cook fun stuff all the time as your job? Sounds like a dream job to me. I know they probably are cooking for all the employees too but that’s fine. Seems like the best cooking job you can get
I dont think they cook for the crew, they seem to get catering. The cookings only for videos it seems, which is still dope
Definitely don't look like any tortilla I've grown up with. What were those?
I absolutely love the 80's family show beginning!!!! I always look forward to these videos, but that open puts it over the top!!!!
Trevor acting like he's in Peaky Blinders
I could watch these all day. It should be a food channel show!
If I remember correctly, they did not use queso fresco in the GBBO, they use FETA!! Travesty!
Trevor's visual approval of Task Raccoon made me laugh so hard
The opening scene gave me "Too Many Cooks" vibes 🤣
Listen that needs to be the intro for every myth munchers from now on. I cackled so hard who ever thought that up deserves a raise
This channel is fantastic it brings me so much authentic joy
You are all honestly the best. Love the videos and always a good laugh while you learn
You had my like at that classic sitcom intro. Please keep that going!
Trevor already looks like Will Ospreay, and saying "you wanna go, bruv?" just solidifies it for me.
I always find it funny when chefs don't like science, specifically chemistry.
The look on V's face when Josh throws the caramel dreg back into the pot! 😆
I love these cooking myths videos. xD
British people into crystals really rattled by this episode.
Love the intro…
Awesome episode.
My fellow Insomniacs good morning and sweet dreams
I watch this channel not for the food content. There's plenty of food content out there worth watching. I watch this channel for the pure chaos.
two weeks of british slander these are fighting words Master Scherer
It's OK, all British Mexican food is slander
We don't have Mexican food here. At least where I am in the UK.
OMG I can't believe they finally got Gordon Ramsey on the show 😲
He was a little more stiff than I thought he would be though.
What is the time ?
@@harry69007 around 13:00 minutes or so.
