50 People Guess Fruits & Vegetables | Epicurious - Розваги
When you're asian and you know and have seen most of them but only remember their names in your native language, not in English.
I know it in my Native and English because of the subject I failed called Agriculture
The exact opposite for me i have forgotten my native language and I’m very sad about that but I don’t have the patience to learn it
Exactly dude
FACT
Bitter Gourd
Bitter melon/ Ampalaya being ‘slightly bitter’ said every Asian Mom ever after you cry because you don’t want to eat it.
I laughed so hard because that right there is true.
They just say it’s healthy smh
I actually lolled cuz it exactly what happened to me when I was a kid
Hated is as a kid but I very much love it now. Easily one of my favorite veggies.
We call it a karela and my mom used to force me to eat due to its good health properties
"This is what you give your ex-boyfriend"
Girl, if I was ur ex and you gave me a bunch of those I'd be over the moon
@inprints 1 That must be a messy way to eat rambutan. I don't remember ever getting my shirt wet by eating rambutan.
@inprints 1 ah i see
Yeah, they are SOOO good. People that haven't tried it yet, recommend to try it. :D
SAME
i ate them once in mexico and they were really good!!
Those rambutans are wayyy past their shelf life. They should look bright red, not ochre brown.
You don't have any choice if you had to export those fruits half way across the earth.
Freshly picked rambutan should have hairs with the same color as their base is.
Here the rambutans are either vibrant red, orange, or yellow when they're ripe. Really appetizing colors. But, yeah, you can't expect them to look the same once they are exported to another countries.
@@kirakira_san and some varieties are sweeter when they're still green and not ripe
Yeah I m an Asian so I know
You said it brother!
Guy: "This fruit is disrespectful"
*As he cuts the Durian the wrong way*
I realy want to slap him when he said that.
Yep idiots
Its actually delicious too
Actually I suppose we oil the knife before cutting the egg
*hello, 911? yes, i’d like to report a case of murder*
*yes the fruit’s the victim again*
"are these vanilla beans"
was my favorite lmao
For me it’s that “finger lime???” @2:43 😂
rasta log
thats a French beans
He’s just making words up with ‘beans’ i laughed so hard on that too hahaha
gave me whiplash
Actually the colour inside a dragon fruit isn't always white. There is also the purple one, which I think it's sweeter than the white one
the colour not purple but like purple and pink mixed together
Yes! Anyone who thinks dragon fruit has no taste clearly hasn't tried the purple fleshed ones
Asian
Wayne Wu the ones with yellow skin are also really sweet
Yea, I love dragon fruit.
"Litchi in puberty" I died😂
😂😂😂😂 I was looking for this comment
Lychee
@@hannahshin4603 it can also be called litchi
6:04 " This is the most disrespectful fruit in the world. "
Um.
_The way you cut Durian is DisRESpECtfUL_
RIGHT? I was yelling
Melina Wee i'm screaming when he cut it in the wrong way :(
Malaysian and i endorse
Melina Wee lol 😂 I was thinking the same thing
I was so sad
“This is a femur” lmao
I love how confidently she said it
@@angelaphsiao Yep. That's exactly why I thought it was so funny too!
@@angelaphsiao also, she was still wearing the long beans!! She's actually one of my faves!
I laughed so hard when she said that. 😂
Tbh it does look like one 😂😂😂
YA KNOW WHAT IS DISRESPECTFUL?
cutting a durian open HORIZONTALLY my man
Oh yeah. That was horrible lol
I never even opened one and know how to cut it like i really got a little mad when that dude cut it like that.
True, they are not even good knowledge ppl.
They are the ones that disrespect
BROOOO
3:23 Slightly bitter is an understatement
I agree with this, bittergourd is one of the few vegetables that I never want to eat again in my lifetime.
@@noahi.1381 try deep frying it, taste great but it's definitely not for everyone.
Depends on how you prepare it. Ideally you want to have it fresh and not too ripe, take out all the seeds and the sort of paper-like tissue around the seeds (that's the most bitter), and the cook it the way you like it. Some people like it super well cooked, others like it just lightly cooked - also depends on the dish you're using it in. Make sure you add salt (or MSG) and have something else to go with the bitter melon. In Chinese cuisine you'd typically stir fry it with egg into an omelette or with some juicy beef strips. Some Southeast Asian cultures might put in a stew. Ideally the bitter melon comes out only slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness, and it's got a really nice texture between being firm and mushy (again depending on how you cook it).
If your bitter melon was super bitter, either it wasn't prepared right, or your tongue is especially sensitive to the bitter compounds in the melon. Which is fine. It's not for everyone. But there's a chance that you just didn't have it prepared properly!
my mom gave me this demon of a vegetable and i litterally wanted to die my sister litterally threw up and my dad straight up said no. then my mom straight up ate them raw acting likes were crazy like are there any excorsists here i have 2 demons in my house
I really loved it if it's not too ripe and stir fried with something spicy like bird's eye chili.
Me: Knows all the fruits and vegetables. Ha! I'm smaㅡ"
My brain: Don't think you're smart, you really know all of them because you're Asian.
Right.😂
I named them in my dialect (Filipino). Had a hard time figuring out its english name. But at least I got them all right
I'm also asian
me but i only know the indonesian names 😂
I thought the long beans are string beans
More like ppl try guessing common southeast asian ingredients
Not ppl... Americans *

Honestly XDDDD
That’s what happens when u don’t know any words for it lol
Every asian: This is easy, this is so easy
Every american(unless youre an absolute legend at fruits and vegetables): *this is a femur*
This is also easy for West Indians we just have different names 🤷🏾♀️

At 5:12 she says with long beans around her neck “Ok ThIs iS SoMEtHINg TeRrIFYinG”
*puts it around her neck* hello
I laughed so hard
Me: This can't be that hard...
Them: This is a jackfruit. _Points at Rambutan_
I'm at a loss for words
How could it be “easy” if they don’t the names for it😂 it ain’t an equation.
I had to double check when they said that.
"Carrot's wierd cousin" Turmeric: *aM i A jOkE tO yOu*
Those rambutans looked old af
This. THIS I S WHAT I've been looking for in this entire comments section.
I think they're not grown in north america so that would be why. I too thought it was lacking a lot of color.
Those rambutan are all shivered up. Probably due to the long journey to get there. Usually it doesn't look like that unless it has been kept for more than five days.
The durians don't look too fresh either.
Poor rambutan. I'm from South East Asia and used to seeing fresh rambutan. It looks pretty when it's fresh. Mostly red color but some species yellow color.
At the end of the video I realized that the bald man was a chef and not some sort of a fruit guru
*Patrick Papa.. “fruit”... “guru”...*
For some reason my brain immediately went to a guy speaking to fruit like “how was your day banana?”
Simon WoodburyForget my brain on automatic doesn’t rlly think about stuff like that. It just went to a guy speaking to a banana.
But... I guess interesting info... thanks lol.
Like my name says “knowledge is _key_ ”.
Simon WoodburyForget
Well said, very poetic 😂🍌
@Meridian Do you really care that much? I mean, c'mon dude.
Meridian 😂👌 wonderful response
Me: *sees all the vegtables and fruits*
Also me: *grabs my dads recipie for string beans, durian toffee, durian ice cream, ampalaya omlette, pink dragonfruit slices and two shopping baskets full of fresh rambutan with ants crawling all over them*
🤣 buy rambutan bonus ants
That would be nice for breakfast or maybe lunch
*6:04* the way he cut the durian broke my heart into pieces :,(
It made me cringe Soo hard
"This is the most disrespectful fruit in the world."
You're also cutting it open disrespectfully :))
exactly :)
KK Lao right???
Yup lol I was horrified at the cutting technique he used lol
Finally someone said it
@@kamichan7901 lol my mind was screaming 🤣
I recognized the Durian immediatly, then the Dragon fruit and Tumeric.
But I was stumped on what those red things were on the far left of the table.
oh, they are "Gloves."
vincentx915 IM CACKLING 😂😂
Far right
The thing on the far left is called a “grater”
I was actually not sure if it was durian or Jack fruit. Both brown and spiky. Would be easy if I could smell it.
im asian and i still call turmeric as ginger though because i think ginger and turmeric are the same but turmeric has a more vibrant yellow to it 😂
“are these vanilla beans” 😂
“This might be jackfruit??”
The jackfruit in the corner:👁👄👁
6:05 asian will cringe watching you open the durian like that bro
My Mindanao heart is weeping when he hacked the durian in half. TT^TT
He just murdered a durian. 😂
My heart and my mind were screaming NOO OMIGODD WHAT THE HECK DID THEY DO 😂😂 super hurting my eyes
Yup. And I don't even like durian
And he said its the most disrespectful fruit 😂 he’s the one being disrespectful to the fruit i cringe
Those rambutans are so dark. Ones in Australia are so red and vibrant. P.s where's my Asian squad at?
Asian squad for life
old rambutans theyre off
Yes
AUSTRALIA woah kewl I'm from the Philippines
I think it’s just old and starting to dry up
Everyone: Durian smells like cat piss, it stinks to high heaven like a corpse-
Me: *bristles in south east asian*
"They're small, hairy balls, I dunno what it is." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't stop laughing. What an underrated comment! 😂
6:37 Asks the fruit "What are you?"

Best reaction ever 😍
I thought he said mother duck in the middle ??
Definitely a fan of rupaul drag race
If y’all just bought one Asian into this they would go to town and take those fruits and vegetables home lmaoooo
but not those rambutan...they don’t like look rambutans anymore.
You got that right
Those rambutan looking damn dry
Those rambutans look deceased 💀
@@kapridus1144 it looks depressed af
@@kiritokirigaya6716 lmao yeah
The lady in the glasses always annoys me with how knowledgeable she is and that is exactly what I aspire to be in my life
4:51 the real chef 😂
She always knows more than the chef😂
They should hire her to be the resident professional for real, she know EVERYTHING. That pro chef belongs on the "50 average people" roster more than her.
@@jordanoneill7052 i heard that she is A CHEF
she's probably a homecook.
i lovee herrr
mam bele if I remember correctly, she’s a professional chef and a food critic
I didn't know any of these because the only thing growing in Norway is potatoes
These are tropical ones
You can grow long beans and horse radish here too I live in Sweden soo its not a good explaination as to why you havent seen these and even I know that you can find most of these in stores like Ive eaten rambutan, dragonfruit, fresh tumeric root, and i know places where you can get bitter melon but.
I'm Norwegian and this is actually so true tho
@@jayamilapersson4030
I mean, you can't buy any of these vegetables in the supermarkets in my little city here in Germany (except for dragon fruit sometimes) so I do understand why someone who isn't that familiar with cooking wouldn't know any of these. I at least knew 3.
I get all of these, living in tropical country.
I LOVE the lady that appears at 2:11 she seems to know everything
*Am I the only one who thinks that Durians don’t smell?*
Yes
No
No, many people thinks it's actually fragrant
No
A Person it's smell, but I loveee it
“It’s a candle”, “this is a femur” lmfao that woman is hilarious.
“This is a femur” I died

same! i was shouting the filipino names for all these!
@@jacobbenedict244 hahaha same!
Didn't know the english of ampalaya tho ...
SAME I WAS THINKING I don’t know what this is called in English but I know what it is in Chinese 😂
5:08 Me an intellectual : That's a Duran Duran duh
Just found this channel i love it!
Did he just say "slightly bitter flavor" ?? Understatement of the yeaarrrr
Yeah, if that chef has actually tasted bittermelon, even thoroughly cooked, he wouldn't say "slightly bitter". That junk punches you in the gut and slaps you around with its bitterness.
Exxxxtrrreeemmely bitter! I don't eat that atall
@@EYLive79 💀💀💀
whenever my parents put bitter melon or 芥菜 (also bitter) in anything, I NEVER eat it
@@ILP123able The trick is to sprinkle salt. Salt draws out the moisture and bitterness. cut into half moons and then sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes, wring them and wash them thoroughly. Saute with onions, garlic, bits of pork, add soy sauce and sesame oil and then when its almost done, add a beaten egg. Saute for a little bit until the egg is cooked. Its delicious, when prepared correctly.
man said pine cone, im dead!
I like thus particular chef.
Shows any fruit or vegetable: This is wonderful because...
Slightly bitter flavor? Is this guy for real? Slightly?
What's what my parents told me to get me to try it :(

@@TheOomara i tried it and i regretted it instantly

4:51 she literally knows everything wth i see her in every video she barely goes wrong.
movie Boom and she looks kinda like Kim Rhodes. She’s this actress and she’s really cool and nice, I only know her from Supernatural but she was in Zach and Cody too.

@@b21.9 seriously? Bitter melon itu pare kalo disini haha 😂
I'm *rolling* at "Its a candle!"
The only one I missed was the horseradish because it honestly just looks like a root and without being able to smell it, it’s difficult to identify
When he said vanilla beans I died
If I'm not mistaken, vanilla beans do kinda look like that before they are processed
that would have been like 50k worth of vanilla if it was
@@cheyenneoliver5184 Nope their typically a lot shorter and brown before turned into extract
@@austinv1182 Well yeah, aside from the length, but yeah, should've been more clearer with what I meant by "processed", I mean before they were dried. When they're green and fresh, they really look like a green bean.
6:42 She was so sure of herself 😂
I was finding this comment. Hilarious hahahahah 😂
That Durian looked really good. One of my absolute favourite fruits. 💙
1:50 "Is this mangosteen?" "Jackfruit?" "Passionfruit."
I'm dying.
Shout-out to the gent who said Dragonfruit is totally overrated. Agree 100%. 😂 If you ever travel to Southeast Asia, you'll see pretty much all of these at every market on any corner. This was an excellent episode. Need another. 👍
Agree. It looks pretty inside and out, but tastes like nothing.
They can actually taste pretty good if you get the good ones. I personally prefer the ones with purple inside over the white insides ones
I tried one once. It was alright, but not remotely worth the effort of driving out of town to find a store that sells them. Maybe it's because my American palate is so used to overly sweet fruit.
You can find in Mexico a tasty dragonfruit with a red/magenta interior 10/10

a bitter melon has a texture of a boiled potato but slightly bitter? is that chef kidding? has he really tasted it before describing it? bitter melon has a crunchy texture and is extremely bitter. wth!
Texture wise maybe he was thinking of it when it's cooked? Lol
ton ten yeah.. it horrifyingly bitter but the texture depends on how you cooked it though.
@@darcysimp331 no. its texture when it's cooked is quite similar to a bell pepper. you just don't have to overcook it to retain its crunchiness.

underwater sea creature... :D
Sea Cucumber?
Is this mangosteen?
I'm honestly surprised to see so many people have never seen long beans before... it looks exactly like its name. It looks like a bean. And it's long.
After watching a few of their videos, I can't unhear how most of the
time they edited it to go exactly with the music, eg. the hits are right
on the beat..
Haha ironically I know them all. These fruits and vegetables are quite common in asian countries.
Edit: Also why do you guys say that durian smells bad? IDK about you but I didn't noticed it honestly and the stuff inside of it just tastes amazing!
It’s probably an acquired appreciation. Durian is amazing though
Yeah all the durian ive eaten are sweet di kwhat people taste when they say it tastes bad
Idk my family HATES durian but i dont mind the smell at all, and its d e l i c i o u s 😋😋
You are a psychopath 😂
Nohhhh durian smells and tastes horrible
I like that you guys added in the chef not just identifying the produce but explaining what they taste like and how they might be used.
This just reminds me that if I ever get the stranded on a deserted island, I'll probably die. I knew most of the tools but for the life of me I couldn't figured out the vegetables and fruits
Wth happen to the way you cut the durian? 😂 it seems extremely hard to cut in that way when the black man scene appears I just wow 😂
“This is the most disrespectful fruit in the world,” said the guy that disrespected the durian. 🙈 He cut all the way through the pods and seeds. 😂 Who elsewhere likes durian?
Here.
Hahaha.... unfortunate for them, it is their loss. =P Durians are great if you do learn to enjoy them. Chinese from China have been crazy about durians. The durians I have seen in some videos doesn't look delicious at all.
