    The fun part about Future Canoe's videos is that he likes to heavily substitute when recreating videos (oftentimes inappropriately), but in the end if a dish comes out bad, he is honest about it and doesn't pretend it tastes amazing.

      Also sometimes I gotta cook after work, for kids and adults… so learning to not care so much while I’m cooking has been helpful.

      Beg to differ on tomato front, unless you grow your own, or get direct from farm. And limited season. Quality canned tomatos lock quality in maybe hours or even minutes after harvesting. And will keep that quality for a couple of years. San marzano were used i think, by look. One of the top 2 best Italian brands.

      ​@@mybrotherjames8579I don't understand how that could be entitled. It's just the truth about the quality of tomatoes. Most tomatoes in a grocery store are picked while still green before developing their flavors and then shipped across the country and often to a completely different country. Canned tomatoes are picked ripe and immediately canned, so they tend to be a higher quality than what most people will have access to year round. Not everyone will have access to quality fresh tomatoes year round so canned is a good option.

    I like his use of substitutions, That he shows his mistakes. That he doesn't use a lot of fancy kitchen equipment. That he does things like burn food into his sponsored pan, and that he's very, very relatable. He'll miss out ingredients, he'll add walnuts instead of cashews and strawberry jam instead of marmalade (in savoury dishes) and no his food doesn't always work out but it feels more in line of what I'd actually cook than most videos on youtube. I like that he has videos on struggle meals, and on ramen hacks. There's some youtubers who make huge amounts of food and I worry about how much they'll actually eat and how much goes to waste, and they'll buy special ingredients for just one recipe, and he doesn't generally do that. It doesn't feel like a bit where he's messing up deliberately for the views.

      Watching FutureCanoe was a huge step in my journey as a homecook. I used to be very picky about ingredients and how I did it. But his content was such a big reassurance that "it's aight, not everything will go your way". Not sweating if you mess up every now and then. No biggie if you can't find everything in the recipe.

    I appreciate FutureCanoe's honesty in his videos. Not specifically in whether or not the food is good, but how he cooks it. He’s going to make substitutions based on what he has in his kitchen, if only to cut down on food waste. He’s not going to buy an ingredient specifically for a video, and if he does, chances are he’ll use it again in a video where it’s not quite appropriate, but it’s not like he was going to find a better use for it. That’s how a lot of home cooks cook.
    And on the topic of the ligma fork, I think it was made like that.

      And yes, fenugreek is love, life and light.. but it was very hard to find years ago still XD Not everyone can and want to order online, or has a speciality shop near them.

He's about showing people ways they can cook in their home kitchens with the kinds of foods and tools most home kitchens have. He doesn't buy all the best ingredients or anything because it's important to show how someone with cooking knowledge may substitute certain foods so that people learning how to cook can learn how to confidently substitute and not get burnt out trying to learn. He also is unapologetically on a budget which is the main reason why so many people only cook boxed and instant meals but he's showing people what it actually looks like to cook on a budget. He's also completely honest with how the food tastes showing that it's okay to make mistakes and that sometimes what you cook you might just not like and that's okay

    Future Canoe is a pretty interesting channel. He's not particularly amazing in terms of skill, he's somewhere around a hobbyist homecook level (or at least pretends to be), but that's kind of the appeal. He presents himself like an everyman that doesn't really take himself too seriously, rather than any sort of authority on cooking.
    The running theme here is basically "you've seen a cool recipe on youtube? Here's what it might look like if *you* actually try to do it at home". He may not have some tools you see constantly in youtube videos (Kitchenaid stand mixer, immersion blender for example), he constantly substitutes because he doesn't have some ingredients, skips steps, or outright fucks up parts of the process. Sometimes it goes poorly, sometimes it goes well.
    It's neat.

    So as someone who makes curries in the USA, here's a little bit of information on canned tomatoes: It can be hard to get good, vine ripened tomatoes fresh unless you go to a farmer's market, and curry needs fully ripened tomatoes to get the proper bold flavor. Because of this, high quality canned tomatoes are often 100% the better choice than fresh, as they're picked at a riper stage.
    Another good option is to use the weak, run of the mill fresh tomatoes you can find everywhere, but get a can of good quality tomato paste from fully ripe tomatoes and add it to the mix. You get tomato complexity from the fresh tomatoes, and boldness from the tomato paste.

      @@HaveYouTriedGuillotines Its crazy how getting fresh produce is so difficult (and expensive) in the US. Conglomerates have completely ruined this for you guys. In a country like India, we get a kilo and half of tomatoes for one dollar, and they range from green, to yellow to perfectly ripe. I think even the EU doesnt have a fresh produce crises like the one in the US, a dollar or half a dollar for an onion is INSANE. Fresh food, and fresh produce is NOT supposed to be a "luxury item" lol.

      In the summer, I grow my own tomatoes. In part because there's lots of interesting and flavorful heirloom varieties, but also in part because there just isn't another good option. Where I live, even the expensive tomatoes at the farmers markets tends to be picked green. Part of the problem is that independent farmers can't compete with the massive monopolies, so there's very little local produce, which means those tomatoes have to be able to survive both the picking and packaging, but also the transportation.
      My mom tells me that when she was young, her family bought mushrooms from a mushroom farm that was down the road from where they lived, and had been in operation since 1934. They shut down operations in 1990 due to being unable to keep up with "foreign competition." That same foreign competition is now as expensive as the high quality local produce that the farm sold.

      @@HaveYouTriedGuillotines If you grow tomatoes, I would suggest planting coriander and tomatoes together. They complement each other extremely well, not just on the plate, but also while growing. Coriander attracts larger predators like wasps that prey on the worms that plague the tomato, these guys also act as pollinators. Also, coriander produces chemicals (which gives it a very nice fragrance) that keep pests like whiteflies at bay. The weather where I live is pretty good for growing tomatoes all year round so we grow a lot of them.
      Another tip would be to add finely ground egg shells in the soil from time to time. The calcium in them greatly helps plants that bloom and give fruit.

      Sorry but yoyr wrong, you don't need perfect ripe tomatoes for the taste nor do you need to use tomato paste, you can and if so, make sure the paste is cooked out first before adding any type of liquid, the key to a good curry is the base gravy( sauce) I'm a chef from the uk, we have some of the world's best Indian resturants and I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to work in one, here in the uk, it's called B.I.R style (British Indian recipe) every resturant will have a base gravywhich they use for 90% of dishes, get this right and your curry will be on a next level
      Here's the recipe our resturant use
      ● 1onion, coarsely sliced
      • 4garlic cloves, finely chopped
      • 1⁄2cup passata
      • 1 tablespoon Panch Puran, sizzling seeds)
      • 1teaspoon turmeric powder
      • 1teaspoon garam masala powder
      • 1⁄2teaspoon green cardamom seeds
      • 4tablespoons vegetable oil
      • 1cup water
      • 1pinch salt
      directions
      • Fry the onions in the oil on a medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent (5mins).
      • Add garlic and saute for 1 minute
      • add Tomatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes.
      • Add half the water and simmer for 5 minutes then add the rest of the water and spices. Stir in well and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Keep stirring regularly throughout cooking. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool slightly before pureeing in a food processor.

And even with their lower pricing model, because we as consumers see lower market prices, we are more driven to purchase even more than normal. The 'calculated losses' they have with their hot dogs and chickens just means those aren't the money makers, but drive sales to the store in general, the profit margins aren't great but they aren't hemorrhaging losses either.

    It really looks like you have not watched a Future Canoe video before. His lig-ma-fork is supposed to be that way. Also, in this video, he actually stuck closely to the recipe he was following compared to many others. Also, when he drops the lig-ma-fork, he's saying he likes it.

      @@ChefJamesMakinson He does ingredient substitutions quite often. He always refers to chicken as radioactive chicken which he buys at a local Asian market. I've not see the origin of the term though.

    don't you dare mistreat our radioactive cooking NPC
    But seriously, I really enjoy him because, in a scenario of Babish, Weissman and Ramsay growing their own crops, raising their own cattle, baking their own bread and cooking their own sauce just to show us how to make a grilled cheese, Canoe is an everyman. He uses ingredients that he can find in every grocery store even if they're not the proper ones, cuts corners and skips steps if it's too hard or time-intensive, doesn't use high-grade cooking machines but prefers an hands-on approach, and gets the result. If the result looks radioactive or messy, but tastes good it's a win, if it's bad he accepts it, and he's polite.
    Again, he's an everyman, the epytome of "He's just like me fr fr". We are all FutureCanoe, all hail the Ligma Fork

    I would highly recommend watching his Mujadara video, Chef James! It's an earlier video, and he's a bit more serious in it. I don't believe you've done a video on the dish, and think it could be a very educational opportunity!

    I love his substitution gimmick. It makes it more relatable. Sometimes you just gotta make do with whatever is left in the pantry.

    I was a chef at a brewery/restaurant back in the early 90s and we had several levels of wings. The spiciest was a habanero-garlic wing. It's tagline was "You're a dragon tonight and a rocket tomorrow."
