paulie brought the noodles, he was doing a weeks in detention and he had a very good system for making them last, he would crush the noodles into moderate size chunk. not too big where it'll be gone too quickly but not too small where it's hard to grab. it's a very good system.
Binging with Babish tested the cutting the garlic with a razor blade thing and it turned out to be a myth. Garlic is solid vegetable matter, it never "liquifies". The thinnest possible slices he could make with a fresh razor blade still ended up as visible, thin sheets of fried garlic - not a hindrance, but not what the myth claims. The best you can do is use a garlic press and put it in there as a paste, which will form a homogeneous mix with the oil in the pan and (later) with the tomato paste.
I gotta say though, having fresh bread, pasta with meat (veal, pork, beef, onion, garlic, tomato) sauce, steak and lobster, minus the wine (I'll take water), that would DEFINITELY put me away/I would be sleeping like a baby after that feast... (But yeah, I noticed that they really didn't bother with green veggies, salads, even fruit, etc. :-D ) Of course, today I've had 3 amazingly tasty oranges, a banana, oven roasted turkey backs and skinless dark organic chicken thighs with organic teriyaki sauce, some organic spinach and peas, sour cream and onion potato chips, lots of water and supplements. So yeah, I'm feeling pretty content/full at the moment. But I could handle some buttered lobster... :-D (No steak at the moment...)
The fact that Henry says prison wasn't so bad except that he missed Jimmy is actually really wholesome. He sincerely enjoyed spending time with his friend.
One of the best lines in the movie. One of my closest friends, who passed last year, used to always laugh about that line. Our wives always wondered what’s up with us.
i find it very wholesome that Martin Scorsese’s parents were in this movie. it’s like he loves showing them what he does and how he does it. can’t imagine how proud they were of him. ❤
My favorite footage was Mrs. Scorsese scolding “MARTY” for swearing in front of her. Apparently they were just really kind folks who were a treat to have on set.
you should definitely watch his little doc he did about his parents "Italianamerican", made in the 70s. Just the two of them in their Little Italy apartment with pictures and home movies spliced in. everything he does is for his parents
Honest to God this scene is why I became a chef. The way Paul did the garlic inspired me to take time with my prep, it makes for better quality and people enjoy it more
I love how Paulie, the fattest one in the room by 100 pounds easily, has the balls to tell Vinny that he needs to go on a diet. It's good to be a Caporegime!
John Spinelli yeah, Tommy starts asking him about his experience before he gets whacked, and Vinnie says something like “almost 30 years ago now” - I don’t know the exact lines, but it was something to this effect
God everyone in this scene is dead. I was around when they all were too not to mention Ray and Paul had to die this year. Mortality is what everyone has in common
My (step) grandpa was an italian from Brooklyn, and it was always amazing when we'd eat at his house. He was also a really cool guy, his name was Vito and he had a similar voice to Brando's Vito, raspy and everything. He was very similar to the "typical" italian mobsters portrayed in movies, but without most of the bad stuff- he didn't disparage people for being different, never heard him say anything racist. So it was all of the cool mobster stuff without any of the murder and general "bad" stuff that we saw from mobsters in the movies.

I actually had some good times while incarcerated, but not my entire bid or anything. For about a five month period before being transferred to another facility, me and my crew would eat better than the rest, and spend all day playing cards, drinking alcohol and smoking weed til the point of falling asleep.

I thought Italians condemn processed food. Here's my system for tomato sauce: take 2,5-3 pounds of ripe tomatos, peel them. Now take 3 big onions and cut it in little cubes. Chop 4-5 heads of garlic. For a flavor, I always put some dill and basilic. Red wine would never do no harm by the way. Mix it all with 3 spoons of vinegar and 5 spoons of olive oil, hot peppers and pinch of salt. Fill in 3 cups of hot water. Leave it all on low heat for 1 hour.
2:21 One thing completely authentic in this scene: the way Paulie says "Tomorrow we eat sangwiches." This is how many New York Italian-Americans say "sandwich." Scorsese definitely worked the dialog to get that in. Actual conversation with my aunt: -- Aunt: You want a sangwich? -- Me: I love the way you say sangwich. -- Aunt: What? I don't say it that way... So do you want a sangwich or not?"
@@MensaGiraffe My great uncle who was born in the 20s used to say it that way. "Sangwich" was more of a Brooklyn-Queens dialect amongst the italian american people back then. Paulie was based off of Paul Vario who was born in 1914 so you gotta figure he was from that generation that said "sangwich".
it's also common in boston italians, all my older relatives who grew up in the north end (italian section of boston) or came from italy and live here say sangwich or something like saangweecha.
Love this. Paulie is very particular about the meal prep, the garlic, the onions. When the wine arrives, he says "Now, we can eat", as if to eat without the wine would be unthinkable. All while wearing an open blue dressing gown.
Mate, I'm Australian... don't assume everyone on the internet is American, also I'm actually underweight and size small rather than whatever you were thinking of. I don't know if you're for real of just being a troll but either way you're a fucking idiot.
Tommy Two Shines. He had this wonderful system for shining shoes. He used a polish and he used to buff it so thin that it would liquefy on the shoe with just a little oil. It was a very good system."
Some directors may get the actor to make his nails trimmed for the close up , I noticed a lot of actors don't trim em and it looks gross. Roger Moore and Charles Bronson always had long ass nails in their movies
Who’s watching this after finding out Paulie just passed away? I’m gonna go cut some garlic very thin and put it in a pan with just a little oil in his honor. RIP Paulie
@Johnny Caruthers Family game night, we were playing Things in a Box (look up the rules for that on your own time). One of the cards told us to write down things we’d do when we won the lottery. And my brother wrote down “poke the commoners with a diamond stick”. It was the funniest answer of the night.
RIP Ray your portrayal of Henry and Goodfellas as a whole is what made me appreciate a good film. You’ll be missed. Edit: RIP Paul you never had to move too fast for anyone and were a powerful force to watch in both Goodfellas and Law & Order, you’ll be missed.
@@dopesaiyan3362 By the time it got be Henry's turn on the stand he had no choice did he? The rug was pulled, they were all finished as a crew and it was a case of kill or be killed. Henry 'needed' to go against the mob code and save his own ass.
@@andycross9840 Also, Jimmy planned to have him whacked and maybe Pauly too, because Henry sold drugs after Pauly warned him not to. Not to mention a felon getting caught with all that cocaine would be going away for decades.
One of the things that is totally lost today is good dialogue. This sounds like a real group of wiseguys having a natural conversation among each other. Liotta doing the narration even makes mistakes. Because that's what people do when they speak. Dialogue these days is way too snappy and witty. Every reply is immediate, and perfect. There's no stuttering or slurring. There's no pauses or verbal crutches. The tv show House is a perfect example. Everything is spot on, robotic, and makes it easy to spot bad acting. Because it all is. Makes me wanna stab my ears. And my eyes.
I feel that movies are a reflection of the era they were made in. Life nowadays is like a razor thin tightrope, with every action and word needing to be carefully chosen, since anything and everything can now be recorded and instantly be replayed, every mistake cataloged, and to be used against you in a moment's notice.
Gotta admit, as a dude that has been around cooking meats and kitchens, if you do any mince of beef based dishes in a sauce, add some port to the mix. Gives it a nice little kick and that's the flavour indeed.
iRider Nothing is new, trends come in stick around for a few years, die out for a decade or two, then some famous person will bring them back in, fooling himself, and everyone else into thinking he's being original.
@Mike Goodwalk living in New England, the lobster capital of the world, lobsters are and were in fact cheap. Distance plays a factor but this movie is in New York, which also catches a lot of lobsters. In many cases, lobster is cheaper than beef around me, and not by an insignificant amount per pound.
My great grandad was a fisherman, my nana grew up eating seafood for every meal. She said it was always funny how they'd eat the same catch of lobster that was destined for upper class restaurants in Edinburgh or London, but she'd have killed for some chicken, lamb, pork or mutton. Mind she's 93 and her brother and sister are in their late 80s, so there's something to be said for the seafood diet.
That guy cooking the tomato sauce is Martin Scorsese's father in real life. And Joe Pesci's mother here in this movie is Scorsese's mom in real life. Lmao. Funny but true
Goodfellas in Prison Cooking show - I could watch that for hours. Gordon Ramsay does a Hell's Kitchen episode with them and then gets beat to death with a cast iron frying pan...
i never get tired of this scene, you dont need fancy cgi and cringey lines and explosions every 2 seconds, this is one of the best scenes in cinema history, and all they are doing is cooking food. just a good script and good actors. Masterpiece of a movie.
Oh ya with the giant bean stalk. I loved watching the Disney channels as a kid those were the days😎 Can’t watch that now dopes will say it’s racist or toxic to young minds sound how.
Whenever I am hungry, I just dive into the feast/eating scenes of Goodfellas, especially in Paulie's house. Italians seems to have the best meal every day.
That meal scene, is a typical All hands on deck italian family dinner. My Aunt lived in Stratford CT, she was with us until 2015, and she always did a huge sunday dinner. I lived in Southeastern, PA so my family and I would only go once a month... but my god the amount of people and food... she was cooking right up until her illness, the new years day dinner alone rivalied a Golden Coral setup., after new years 2015 she became ill, passed away at 96 years old... She was my favorite Aunt, and I was her favorite Nephew, we both had a major thing in common, we both felt my father was an asshole. But she taught me everything about italian food and culture since I was the first on the italian side of the family to be born in the USA< and like Henry Hill, I am part Irish... so no mafia for me. But my Aunt Celia (full name Consiglia) was the best... if you walked away from her house hungry, even if for a quick 20-30 minute visit... you were in the wrong. SHe felt even the fattest family members were too skinny. RIP Aunt Celia, I miss you so much.
I've never seen goodfellas, but this scene makes me wanna see it so bad. The scene just feels so, real, the conversations don't sound scripted or acted, and the scene just feels so fulling and well built. This is fucking amazing.
As an Italian I love the way Ray said salame, prosciutto...:"Salami, prociutto"... Ray gave an absolutely amazing performance. As an actor and as narrative. Of course I know who he was but, in a way, I discovered how great was recently. I was very into Ray Liotta when I heard the news and I was schocked. Great actor, he always held the scene with absolutely mastery. And great man in his own right.
They were in jail...having lovely steaks and living good and then guy making the steaks was like "an aristocrat" They are in jail! Not many of the aristocracy are in jail...ironic
Hemant Samtani most people get their steak either rare, medium, or well done. He was just teasing him because he liked his steak a different way. Nothing serious It's like if you walk in with a glass of ice and pour and Pepsi from the can and I say, "Oh, look at mister fancy, too good to sip from the can." Just a little bit of shit talking
Thats not why he called him an aristocrat.. he said that because the rarer you have a steak, the better you can taste the quality of the meat, and that doesn't mean shit when you're locked up. Instead of having his steak cooked well-done like the rest of the wiseguys, he wanted a rarer steak like a little fancyboy.
The best part about this scene is the little details in their conversations. My favorite is how he tries to make the onions sound smaller but the cans of sauce sound bigger. “Three small onions, two big cans!” It’s such a little thing but it’s so genius for the character.
yanuar aidi So legal bribery basically, this is what they're doing paying the guards to look the other way..or maybe they're threatning to kill their whole family..
As an Italian, when i first watched this scene it reminded so much of how we really eat, it's so accurate, and the "wine!, now we can eat" it's so true, older generations have a saying "if you haven't eaten with wine, you've never really eaten"

I can never cut raw garlic without thinking of this scene.
Lolololol, glad I'm not the only one. "Its a very good system,"
Voodoo Chile how many people do you think cut garlic like This after this movie

Love this. Paulie is very particular about the meal prep, the garlic, the onions. When the wine arrives, he says "Now, we can eat", as if to eat without the wine would be unthinkable.
All while wearing an open blue dressing gown.
This scene makes me so hungry every time I watch it

Tommy Two Shines. He had this wonderful system for shining shoes. He used a polish and he used to buff it so thin that it would liquefy on the shoe with just a little oil. It was a very good system."

How many cans of polish you put in there?

Notice Paulie's polished fingernails when slicing that garlic.That subtle detail that show's their decadence in jail. Great film.
@You Toobe Yes, we know it was "for the movie." That's the entire point that was being made.
He's got a manicure.
Yup. Manicured hands!
I think it’s more important to realize they had access to razor blades to slice garlic instead of cutting open guards necks
Some directors may get the actor to make his nails trimmed for the close up , I noticed a lot of actors don't trim em and it looks gross. Roger Moore and Charles Bronson always had long ass nails in their movies
The fact that this scene isn’t completely inaccurate in terms how the mob owned the penal system back then makes it even more brilliant.
“Ah, good but you gotta have the pork”

Well, he’s right.
yup, porks are fatty and that's where you're going to get a lot of nice flavor when you're searing them and using their fonds for the sauce.
"Medium rare, hmm... an aristocrat!"
Yessssss sirrrrrr
1:07
The garlic slicing should be in an oddly satisfying compilation.
hell no...look how uneven it is
It was painful to watch. WTF are you talking about.
It doesn't even work, lol. You get crunchy fried garlic slices.
Who’s watching this after finding out Paulie just passed away? I’m gonna go cut some garlic very thin and put it in a pan with just a little oil in his honor.
RIP Paulie
Legend has it that Paul sorvino is still slicing the garlic 😁
ANTHONY DANIELS not funny

Happy to be an aristocrat, then. And I’ll poke the commoners with a diamond encrusted stick while I’m at it.
@Johnny Caruthers Sorry, I was baked, and that’s an inside joke.
@Johnny Caruthers Family game night, we were playing Things in a Box (look up the rules for that on your own time). One of the cards told us to write down things we’d do when we won the lottery. And my brother wrote down “poke the commoners with a diamond stick”. It was the funniest answer of the night.
I also like them medium rare.
RIP Ray your portrayal of Henry and Goodfellas as a whole is what made me appreciate a good film. You’ll be missed.
Edit: RIP Paul you never had to move too fast for anyone and were a powerful force to watch in both Goodfellas and Law & Order, you’ll be missed.

Great catch. I wonder how many times gangsters got mixed up with all the Tonys, Paulies, Mikeys, etc.
@@nickl6715 even including the frankies, bennys and johnnys
Well they are mostly Vinny, Paulie, Mikey, and Toney. I'm sure there are bound to be mix ups.
A year for contempt. Another way of saying HE AINT NO SNITCH!
cant say the same for henry
@@dopesaiyan3362 By the time it got be Henry's turn on the stand he had no choice did he? The rug was pulled, they were all finished as a crew and it was a case of kill or be killed. Henry 'needed' to go against the mob code and save his own ass.
Alternatively, he did that on purpose so Henry wouldn’t be alone.
So much for "give em nothing; get nothing"
@@andycross9840 Also, Jimmy planned to have him whacked and maybe Pauly too, because Henry sold drugs after Pauly warned him not to. Not to mention a felon getting caught with all that cocaine would be going away for decades.

JoJoFan93 Prison is a place notorious for crappy food, but Henry describes the wiseguy experience like it's Peter Luger's steak house
This scene never fails to make me so hungry as if I haven't eaten since last Easter.
One of the things that is totally lost today is good dialogue. This sounds like a real group of wiseguys having a natural conversation among each other. Liotta doing the narration even makes mistakes. Because that's what people do when they speak. Dialogue these days is way too snappy and witty. Every reply is immediate, and perfect. There's no stuttering or slurring. There's no pauses or verbal crutches. The tv show House is a perfect example. Everything is spot on, robotic, and makes it easy to spot bad acting. Because it all is. Makes me wanna stab my ears. And my eyes.
pacefka You're a funny guy
Funny how? I mean funny like a clown? I amuse you?
pacefka Just...funny man. The things you say, youre a funny guy😅
I feel that movies are a reflection of the era they were made in. Life nowadays is like a razor thin tightrope, with every action and word needing to be carefully chosen, since anything and everything can now be recorded and instantly be replayed, every mistake cataloged, and to be used against you in a moment's notice.
@@lucgh2007 for you
Gotta admit, as a dude that has been around cooking meats and kitchens, if you do any mince of beef based dishes in a sauce, add some port to the mix. Gives it a nice little kick and that's the flavour indeed.

Superb_Nova XCI yeah I'm 5 so explain smart ass
He's a wiseguy not a smartass, and the rarer the steak the 'fancier' it is.
Throwback to the old days when lobsters were actually cheaper than beef and even prisoners ate it
Mobsters love lobsters
don't think these dudes were just 'prisoners'
@@painiscupcake5433 ay that rhymes. Now I want to see a movie about gangster crustaceans and we'll call it the Mobster Lobsters.
@Mike Goodwalk living in New England, the lobster capital of the world, lobsters are and were in fact cheap. Distance plays a factor but this movie is in New York, which also catches a lot of lobsters. In many cases, lobster is cheaper than beef around me, and not by an insignificant amount per pound.
My great grandad was a fisherman, my nana grew up eating seafood for every meal. She said it was always funny how they'd eat the same catch of lobster that was destined for upper class restaurants in Edinburgh or London, but she'd have killed for some chicken, lamb, pork or mutton. Mind she's 93 and her brother and sister are in their late 80s, so there's something to be said for the seafood diet.
"Medium rare, hmm an aristocrat"
Paul Sorvino RIP. Now he must be having dinner with Ray Liotta in heaven.
3 onions for 2 cans of tomatos? Jesus christ Vinni
And three small onions :)
Don't put too many onions in the sauce!
"I didn't put too much onions..............uh, Paul!" I guess English wasn't his best subject.
Tomato-flavored onions. 😂
Richard Pierce he almost said Vinny but corrected himself and said Paul, it's quiet but you can hear him say "vin....uh Paul"
0:56 Now that scene with Jonny cooking the steak, with the red dress and cigar is like the perfect image of an italo-american gangster
Too bad he later turned into FBI chief inspector
It's a bathrobe, but I still love it, I agree with you on it being the perfect image 👌🏼
"Hey Vinnie, don't put too many onions in the sauce." "I didn't use too much onions Paul, I used three small onions."

Rest in peace, Ray! You are amazing.
Whenever I am hungry, I just dive into the feast/eating scenes of Goodfellas, especially in Paulie's house. Italians seems to have the best meal every day.
Agreed
That meal scene, is a typical All hands on deck italian family dinner. My Aunt lived in Stratford CT, she was with us until 2015, and she always did a huge sunday dinner. I lived in Southeastern, PA so my family and I would only go once a month... but my god the amount of people and food... she was cooking right up until her illness, the new years day dinner alone rivalied a Golden Coral setup., after new years 2015 she became ill, passed away at 96 years old... She was my favorite Aunt, and I was her favorite Nephew, we both had a major thing in common, we both felt my father was an asshole. But she taught me everything about italian food and culture since I was the first on the italian side of the family to be born in the USA< and like Henry Hill, I am part Irish... so no mafia for me. But my Aunt Celia (full name Consiglia) was the best... if you walked away from her house hungry, even if for a quick 20-30 minute visit... you were in the wrong. SHe felt even the fattest family members were too skinny.
RIP Aunt Celia, I miss you so much.
I've never seen goodfellas, but this scene makes me wanna see it so bad. The scene just feels so, real, the conversations don't sound scripted or acted, and the scene just feels so fulling and well built. This is fucking amazing.
Did you get around to watching it?
god bless the art of cinema
As an Italian I love the way Ray said salame, prosciutto...:"Salami, prociutto"...
Ray gave an absolutely amazing performance. As an actor and as narrative.
Of course I know who he was but, in a way, I discovered how great was recently.
I was very into Ray Liotta when I heard the news and I was schocked.
Great actor, he always held the scene with absolutely mastery.
And great man in his own right.
Haha its a freakin vacation
to married men, maybe
Libro Vermit lol
IKR? Isn't prison supposed to be punishment? You'd think these schmucks were sentenced to Club Med.
Not really.
If I had all they did, plus wireless internet and my IPhone, I wouldn’t mind it there at all except no sex or going skiing and fishing.
Italians do know how to cook
You shouldn’t even have to point that out, its obvious
Apollo creed said that if rocky can't fight he can cook. Rocky ends up owning a restaurant. Lol.
Yeah, just look at the Sopranos, almost all of them are fat.
*Healthy too
Italians are the best cooks of Europe
"Gimme the white too. Beautiful."
Rest in peace Paul Sorvino. Thanks for all the entertainment over the years.
medium rare an aristocrat...makes me giggle
Hemant Samtani
I dont understand this joke. Would someone please explain it to me?
They were in jail...having lovely steaks and living good and then guy making the steaks was like "an aristocrat" They are in jail! Not many of the aristocracy are in jail...ironic
Hemant Samtani most people get their steak either rare, medium, or well done. He was just teasing him because he liked his steak a different way. Nothing serious
It's like if you walk in with a glass of ice and pour and Pepsi from the can and I say, "Oh, look at mister fancy, too good to sip from the can." Just a little bit of shit talking
Thats not why he called him an aristocrat.. he said that because the rarer you have a steak, the better you can taste the quality of the meat, and that doesn't mean shit when you're locked up. Instead of having his steak cooked well-done like the rest of the wiseguys, he wanted a rarer steak like a little fancyboy.
fuhgeddaboudit
The best part about this scene is the little details in their conversations. My favorite is how he tries to make the onions sound smaller but the cans of sauce sound bigger. “Three small onions, two big cans!” It’s such a little thing but it’s so genius for the character.
Nino wouldn't have put too many onions
nick bas 😂
Nino for life
I think he put in too much onions.
0 to 100 real quick 😂😂😂
But it was still a very good sauce
Few people put as much flourish into preparing a family meal like the Italians. An Italian family dinner is an experience.
this scene makes me wanna watch the whole movie

As an Italian, when i first watched this scene it reminded so much of how we really eat, it's so accurate, and the "wine!, now we can eat" it's so true, older generations have a saying "if you haven't eaten with wine, you've never really eaten"
white wine to steak, no wonder they are in prison
