Duck Confit (& Simplified Fondant Potatoes) - Weird Stuff In A Can # 161 

I want whatever this man is smoking. 👆🤣😂😁🤪👍

@@samy7013 haha, me too 😂

You're saying he's going to be ab-duck-ted?

Yep,it's not wise to mess with Big Potato.

This was beautiful!! Thank you.👏

so good i loled

He really should patent that or something. This tech in the wrong hands could be disastrous.

Imagine the invention of the steam engine and the entire industrial revolution came to be after someone was inspired by a steamy potato.

@@WolfgangRhys If the irish get a hold on it, they would become unstoppable

@@WolfgangRhys Don't worry, the good people in Slaughter Magna have demanded all reciprocating steam engines be handed in to keep everyone safe and compliant.

May contain eggs is a pretty common statement, it's for allergen reasons. It's the same as May contain peanuts, because the factory cooks with those allergens

Poultry and game fowl carry an inherent risk of being naturally cross-contaminated by egg - when cleaning a bird, it's not unusual to find undeveloped eggs still inside, and in practical terms, it's impossible to guarantee that every trace would be removed.

Anybody would think I wasn't mucking about. :v

@@DeathInTheSnow apologies, I simply assumed you were from a country with different allergen labelling

@Paul Yoxy clearly yolking?

I think, in view of your praise of the wholesomeness of the channel, you will probably want to edit your last bit one word. I'm sure you meant duck fat 🤣

I, for one, am incredibly curios about what would constitute this "fuck fat" XDDD

I think it was a perfect ending. When your phone auto corrects to f instead of d, we all know you use that word quite a bit 😆

Whoops!

F*ck dat?

My fiancé is the same way. I have a car channel and whenever I get a new car and I’ve very excited, I’ll ask her what she thinks about it and she’ll say. ‘Oh that’s nice.’

Same - actually I've never used them. They're needless and potentially lethal. It'd be different if the food was bought at a camping store (but then who doesn't take a can opener when they go camping?).

I feel this comment in my soul 😆

I scoop the jelly out and eat it with the thigh meat and stuffing 😂 my fave!

She'd probably want treats from them.

Eva should have her own channel

When you live all your life knowing things by one name then suddenly hear that people in other countries use a different name it is very difficult to accept. The word 'broiler' makes absolutely no sense to me as a substitute for the word 'grill', it even appears to be made from two different words 'braise and boiler', neither of which describe the appliance accurately (in my mind). American English is very weird to me, so many words make absolutely no sense to me at all !

@@ianc4901 As a writer living in Australia who has a primarily US audience, I had to make the effort to swap my writing to US English-which was the easy bit. Then came learning all the US terms for things. The worst bit is when there's no specific word for something in US English.

@@ianc4901 Broiler is even weirder for West-Germans, it means Rotisserie-chicken in East-German. They used that name from a brand of chicken that were imported from Bulgaria in the '60s that were called brojleri by that company using the American name for fancy.

@@ianc4901 You use the broiler to broil food. 'Broiling' in NA is a cooking technique which is distinct from 'grilling'. Grilling nigh-universally means cooking over intense heat on *the grill* (i.e. the gridiron (or linked metal bars)) of a barbecue (which is sometimes even just called a grill as a whole in some places) outside, and if you want to be really specific, it should be a non-gas barbecue so you get "grill flavour" from the combustion of wood or charcoal. Broiling, on the other hand, uses the still quite high, but definitely not barbecue-level, heat that your oven generates from the top element or gas flames while the food probably sits on a pan on top of the oven grill (or rack). BBQ is veeeery important in the USA, so it makes sense they'd invent a term to differentiate the two.

As an American with greater world/earth experience, I agree!

They're my favourite Atomic Shrimp videos.

Me too. They’re so soothing. My favourite ever!

I think that's probably an import thing. I tried to get chef boyardee lasagne in a can, but the price was something like $20,

Yea thats def an import thing more than anythin else. A can of similar-ish products that are made in china or north america wud generally be vastly less than that $50 price pt However, that bein said... Id still expect it to be $15-20 most likely rather than the $13 price pt, unless found on sale or at a cheaper grocer (those discount grocers that sell the stuff the other stores donate when nar sell by dates for tax write offs; they often have some of the best fancy stuff but for like $5-10 in this case instd of the over double that price; also where i find vegan foods for prty much pennies too, which makes them the best imho cuz the main thing that keeps me from bein vegetarian or vegan is the steep luxury price they require for that stuff >.>). It does however also depend on where you are in USA cuz some places just have vastly worse prices and the places with sales tax just make it all that much worse (im an oregonian native but TransPlanted to Missouri recently n still hate yalls sales tax here just as much as i hated Calis as a kid and Washingtons as a travelin LARPer >.>). But yea, the coasts prices are generally less with some luxury item exceptions (such as no doubt duck confit) just cuz the product is cheaper to move to that area. But this is somewhat mitigated by cost of livin otherwise bein lesser inland, esp when near a larger city but not rite in the middle of it. Cuz you get the benefits of the city for shipments to keep goods cheaper and are outside of it enuf to not have to pay the extra price to live in a city and also get pricegouged by folks mostly tryin to target tourists.

Ha! The UK is one of the most expensive countries in Europe.

@@SylviaRustyFae I have found that walking two blocks away from the main drag can bring the prices down quite a bit.

@@SylviaRustyFae Dont confuse £ with $. £13 is roughly $17. The UK is not as cheap as you might think xD

Thats too messy for mike lol

or if he slightly lifted the pull tab abd used it as a handle after opening it with the can opener

Plus,Toulouse sausages are fantastic 😋

And much cheaper too here in France. You can get one of those big cans with 6-8 portions of duck for as little as €12

In a restaurant environment I'm sure they find uses for leftovers like this. Soup comes to mind as an easy way to use up any oddly shaped bits of vegetable

I love your Dali potato naming!

A lot of restaurants also have deals with local farms regarding food waste in terms of vegetables etc. So at the end of each day, they're shipped to the local farm for the animals to eat. At least that's been the case in every single restaurant I've worked at, since there can and will be food waste, either on purpose, or just things that are plain unusable in a kitchen.

Is his name Mike? I never knew that.

Oh!! That sounds amazing!

Would like to see that as well!

うまそう

Yummy!

Yeah, just as long as he pays you back! Am I right? No thanks.

At my local supermarket (in NZ) you can get 'duck leg cooked in duck fat' in a sealed plastic pouch at the supermarket for about $9. I guess that's 1 leg though - can't say I've bought it.

Ah, but you got a laugh out of it and me too

Wait till you find out what it's called in French

Came here to say this, we made fondant potatoes every week multiples times. The trimmings always got used. I reckon people think if they can't see it, it must be in the bin lol... usually it's on your neighbours plate just in a different form.

In a commercial setting, definitely, but I'd bet most home cooks don't care enough about the waste, and unless they're actually thinking about it, just use the bits they're cooking

@@TheSkyline77 my mom likes making dirty potatoes and using the skin. It adds such a nice texture and extra tastyiness to the potatoes

@@meaculpabeth there was a joke from Scooby-Doo that did just that. Hogged expensive food ~

I made soup yesterday and fried the croutons in some of the reserved duck fat. It was very good

Du coup, coucou Mattie!

@@PandemoniumMeltDown hé salut ...pommes de terre salardaises miammmm

@@PandemoniumMeltDown oops sarladaises

@Paul Yoxy , no idea. I just don't like them.

It's weird depending on where you are from. Atomic Shrimp's audience is pretty diverse interestingly enough.

Its def weird to most folks in USA i feel; tho then again so is hot dogs in a jar.

To me (British) this is probably the best thing you can cook in a can.

I'm from South East Asia. Everything I eat is probably weird to you guys hahah

I’m from Belgium and duck confit in a can is not weird to me at all. Besides I currently have a jar of duck fat at home. You can even sometimes find duck confit in a can at ALDI as a special offer here.

Bob Ross was a psychopath whose paintings are clues as to where he hid the bodies.

I don't know why I put quotes on the symmetrical part because that's just what I see in your procedure of not wasting things. Just wanted to clarify that.

Ah... Then you aren't familiar with the now-legendary video that is Stuart Ashens vs a whole chicken in a can, then? It's absolute nightmare fuel, and I heartily recommend it!
