Good Eats was an awesome show! I really like when chefs explain gastronomy. Alton would not only tell you how to cook a delicious meal, but also _why_ you need to do things certain ways to achieve certain results. Not just reciting a recipe, but teaching the audience why things are done this way. It's really helpful because you can translate those tips and tidbits and it increases your culinary knowledge, instead of just 'remembering the ABCs'. I wanna know WHY the ABCs are important!

@SkylerLightingStrike Год назад

As someone who works in the culinary arts, I can assure you that MatPat is right and most chefs don't know why things are done the way they are either. Especially in savory cooking. In my experience, bakers are more likely to understand at least the basic science of food than cooks are. Which is a shame, since knowing and understanding that science actually makes things a lot easier. Even more so when you have limited ingredients to work with.

I have no idea how a fruit that sits in a near-impenetrable-by-normal-kitchen-tools thick shell shaped like a unhandleable spiky tumor and smells like dog turds when it opens itself up when it's ripe, actually tastes so good. It's a mystery. MatPat, can you please do durian sometime??

@iconic_trash6721 Год назад

I've had a Food Question in mind for a while. I lost my sense of smell as a baby and lived my whole 30 years anosmic. I've tried various fruits and can't taste any of them, except granny smith apples, they have a slight taste I can only describe as 'lime green'. Why, as an anosmic, can I taste granny smith apples but no other apples or fruit. I've wondered that for a while now. Love your videos and all your channels! Much love ❤️

@ammalyrical5646 Год назад

I can tell you Granny Smith apples don't have a very strong smell but are pretty dang acidic. Maybe you can taste a part of it because a lot of the taste relies on the acids in it moreso than the sweet aroma molecules. Do you taste other acidic or bitter foods better than sweet or umami ones as well? Sour and bitter in nature is a sign that things are toxic or dangerous so it would makes sense we developed a way to taste it without smell. Not tasting something sweet doesn't mean your body doesn't register the sugar/calories, the same goes for fats/oils and probably umami too. It's more important to know what not to eat than it is for the save things to have a taste at all. I don't know if this explains it, but it seems logical to me.

Fun fact: vitamin C is also an acid

@Alphabetical_mayB Год назад

Most flavors come from smells. Long, looooooong, story short, granny smiths are super duper acidic for an apple. You should probably be able to somewhat taste pineapples and kiwi. Most fruits and veggies don't smell like anything, and then don't have super duper strong flavor. For example, my family calls cucumbers "water on a stick" because they don't taste like much. Also, if the whole taste-to-color thing is something you experience often, you might want to reaserch synystesia

Only really past the intro so far but I always personally assumed the phrase "tastes like chicken" was because chicken is seen as a very neutral flavor in the meat world. That's part of why it's used in such a wide array of dishes, since it can then take on a lot of different flavors from other ingredients.

@PKMNResearcherSkyler Год назад

Here's a theory I'd like to see: How much does smell effect taste? Obviously it plays some major roles, but what are the limits and what sorts of foods are unaffected by it? Especially curious about this since for many catching COVID meant losing (partially or fully) their sense of smell

@stevk5181 Год назад

You can only taste five flavors; sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and unami. Everything else you "taste" is really smell. What's really neat is there are some compounds that can block your ability to taste sour and sweet. The so-called "miracle berry" blocks the sour taste receptors on your tongue, making things like straight lemon juice taste like sweet lemonade. Likewise, the powder in the dietary supplement gymnema sylvestre, will block the sweet receptors and everything will taste bitter.

@N31S0N Год назад

I’m fairly certain there was a theory on this

@incredibleflameboy Год назад

From the people I knew it took taste as well and for a loooong time. As I understand it anosmia plays a major role in what people that suffer from it eat as they aim to eat foods with certain textures and mouth feels. Famously Ben of "Ben and Jerry's" fame suffers from anosmia and is the one who plays the biggest role in how their ice cream feels when you eat it. There's a reason that ice cream is so popular and it's not just the flavours. If anyone knows someone in Ben and Jerry's marketing get them to bring cherry Garcia back to the UK.

@potheadjeebus8156 Год назад

@ito7315 Год назад

Tastebuds only tell you the core/basic information of something you eat : they tell you heat and the 5 categories of taste (sweet, salty, bitter, acid and umami or whatever) plus some other basic tastes information like how fatty and how much iron. EVERY other information is connected to the eyes/nose (yes, the color of food changes its taste : red food is typically perceived spicier) but apart from that, all the subtle variations of taste come from smell.

@krista_rosen_ Год назад

As I've taken more animal science courses, I've learned more about what affects the taste of meat (from an animal handling standpoint) and the various factors that are included in that (i.e., the feed given to the animals like grass-fed beef vs. grain-fed beef). However, I've been curious about why the flavor profile of chicken can be applied to a variety of different meats. This video did an excellent job of explaining why this is the case from both a chemistry and evolutionary standpoint (as I suspected it had something to do with chickens' dinosaur ancestry). It also put some of my organic chemistry knowledge to use (and validated my decision to take the intro class).

The point of a crisper drawer is to restrict airflow and allow for a little more humidity to build up, which is supposed to keep vegetables better. As far as bottom vs top is concerned, heat rises, so the bottom stays a bit colder as the refrigerator gets opened and warmer air is let in. I don't think it matters what exactly you're keeping down there, though. A full food theory breaking down the best way to stock a fridge would be interesting.

I tried gator recently, and you can definitely taste the 2MF. I described as tasting like "Slightly fishy chicken"

@lachlannix6420 Год назад

chef here, the Maillard reaction is literally taught in culinary school and covered extensively in the modernist cuisine series of textbooks, so sure a random cook from some mom-and-pop diner isn't going to understand the process but any chef working in a good restaurant and is qualified knows what it means/ refers to.

I’ve eaten deep fried frog legs once when I was on vacation. My mom asked me what it tasted like (she didn’t wanna try it herself). I said “it tastes like chicken, but with a texture like fish!”

@dacisky Год назад

Yup. Way back when,my dad brought me frog legs,which I fried. You described it perfectly...I feel I get more bang with my buck by staying with chicken though..

5:54 Oxidation isn't just adding oxygen oxidization is a reaction in which electrons are taken from a compound, without ionization A(with X electrons) + B(with Y electrons) -> C(with X+Z electrons) C = AB (with X-Z electrons on the A side of the compound and Y+Z on the B side of the compound) BUT they are not ionized, meaning that they share the electrons, the electrons just "tend to spend more time with the B-side of the compound (like a marriage where the children [electrons] are shared between the parents but spend more time with one parent)" [ionization would then be that one of the "parents" has sole custody over the children] e.g. when we have atomic oxygen (not part of a O2 molecule, but just a singular O) take 2 oxygen atoms and let them react to an oxygen molecule by your definition of "oxidation= added oxygen" both atoms would have been oxidized when in fact only one of the two atoms was oxidized and the other one was reduces (RedOx reaction - one reactant [the oxidizer] oxidizes the other reactant [the reducer] which reduces the first reactant) [this is a model to explain how and why reactions occur, 2 O atoms would just share the electrons evenly, because both attract them with the same force] -> oxidizer oxidizes the reducer and is itself being reduced by that very same reducer EDIT: added timestamp

You Should make a theory about the burger king ads how much you actually "rule" at burger king. It would be about how much freedom you really have to make choices and requests in your order. How specific can you get before you can't "Have it your way".

Have a video suggestion for a followup of your charcoal grill versus propane grill video. Induction plate versus gas stove versus electric stove, which one saves you more money.

Hey Mat Pat, you should do a video about Senzu Beans from the Dragon Ball series, and how exactly their able to completely heal Goku and his buddies and leave them feeling rejuvenated! Is it some sort of mystical power, or is it something more nefarious, like maybe there's some illicit substance at play here? Anyways would love to hear your theory regarding this issue, your FOOD THEORY! Lol.

Drake: "If you were stranded on a desert island, would you eat your own foot?" Josh: "...can I cook it?" Drake: "Yes" Josh: "Yeah I'd eat my own foot." Question for theory: Would this be worth it? Would this be beneficial, and how much longer would it keep you alive if so?

@axehead45 6 месяцев назад

No, it would not. It would take more calories to heal the wound than you’d get from the limb

@purplealice Год назад

I suspect that chicken, being the descendant of dinosaurs, just sort of became the default comparison for every kind of meat or protein food. So lizard, snake, and posssibly seagull all taste like chicken.

@reputation8383 Год назад

Great video MattPat, as always! I was always super-sensitive to the flavour and texture of nest as a child, and haven't eaten it for 18 years now because I dislike the flavour so much. I have an idea for a theory: why do only some people have a "sweet tooth"? My Dad and I love sweet foods, whereas my Mum isn't bothered by them. Why doesn't everyone like sweet foods if we are evolved to seek out higher calorie options?

@XpaditionXpatty Год назад

A running gag me and my friends do is every time we eat, we’ll say “Taste like chicken”, doesn’t matter if it’s pork or beef, literally anything.

@four-en-tee Год назад

You should do a video on why everything tastes so good when its made in the air fryer. Its like microwaving food, but better, re-heating stuff in there is awesome.

@flyorfloat Год назад

It probably has to do something with air fryers evenly cooking food unlike microwaves.

Tried escargots (snails) during a multicultural day in high school. I was oddly disappointed that it just tasted like chicken. I was expecting it to be different. Also it was covered in so much butter and garlic you could barely taste it (probably intentionally)

Something you failed to mention is that if you just cook it than you could easily tell if you are having chicken or not. But if you mince it or make it a nugget or hotdog than it would be much harder to tell
