@@chingatu6644 Yup, a lot of people just see him screaming, it’s not like it’s impossible for someone to act like that the whole day it could just be that they have a bad personality, so the assumption is reasonable.
this had me smiling the whole time. when you see things that are so incredible and the work people put into it it brings joy to everyone else. it makes most everything else we're doing look pathetically unimportant by comparison. kind of sad more of us cant live a similar life thats truer to our origins or at least feels meaningful and beneficial to others.
@@matthewharrell1535 that's a mixture done by our jungle tribes, it's offered to foreigners as a sign of trust and bond. Its left to macerated for days so the spit taste is pretty much gone. Nevertheless, its not for everyone.
In 2006 my buddy and I got lost in Peru, two dumbass white boys thinking they can navigate the mountains. A local woman found us, she was wearing a hat just like that woman was. Brian laughed and says “Top of the mornin’ to ya!” Cause he thought it resembled a top hat. Idfk. She instantly knew we were lost and took us back to her place. Long story short she fed us well, and her husband busted out some of that strawberry wine or wtv it is. Let me tell you, that stuff will kick you harder than a pissed off mule, we got so drunk in such a short period of time I was convinced she had drugged us. So then I was paranoid thinking this woman is probably gonna steal our fucken kidneys or something, we both passed out drunk on the floor. We woke up a few hours later in beds and clean clothes. Kidneys still intact. Very relieved. She took us to the nearest town where we were able to get a ride.
Ah that was frutillada wasn't it ? This sure is a powerful drink haha but it's really good especially after eating, glad you and your friend were safe and sound !
It's crazy what high altitudes and alcohol can do to you. I've always had a good head for alcohol, but my first time drinking at 10k+ feet felt like my first time ever having a beer!
He’s got fairly simple life but man is he happy. You could tell he genuinely cares for those potatoes and loves what he does. Then there’s people who have everything in the world they could buy but are empty inside
I cant See trash anywhere ! No matter where i go in my country every where you will find trash and i am so sick of cleaing it up! People are disgusting maggots with 0 respect for true beauty For them plastic titts bottox and make up is natural beauty and the woods etc are just a place to throw your dirt in and make pictures for social media with nonesense "deep" captions
i feel like he values experience and wisdom to a very high degree. its why hes so harsh on shows like masterchef and hells kitchen, expecting more out of them, but also for them to follow his teachings, compared to his child based shows in which he is much more forgiving. The way he listens to those he considers more experienced reflects what he expects from his own pupils.
@@Paulstrickland01 Isn't that basically how culinary work? Even these cultivating techniques aren't those people own ideas. It was passed down to them from their gramps. And surely, if they don't open up to outsiders and keep on considering it as stealing, they will unknowingly let their own culture die with them. Even your comment is stolen from someone else who had already said it. Face it mate, nothing we are using or doing right now are original. We just take and rehash the old shit and make the new shit.
@@Paulstrickland01 Yeah, because people will want to eat the ant mush that he was fed, or all of these things that he cant catch fresh or even get near him, Or potatoes which are different colors and probably can't be shipped. It's an experience and him as a chef i'm sure its the dream. Appreciate and learn ALL cultures techniques ect. Stop being a hater.
Ramsay's (or his production teams) style of editing makes everything so interesting! This, Gordon Gino and Fred and the rest of his world exploring programs are all narrated in the same great way, never change!!
Yes! For so long potatoes have been primarily associated with Ireland, Russia, or Idaho. I'm so glad Gordon is exploring the history of this native Peruvian gift to the world.
@@dibbidydoo4318 yes, but original cultivated in the region of today’s Peru 🇵🇪. From there it became widespread across the land. Eventually potatos (papas in Quechua) made it to the old world, When the Spanish introduced them to Europe. At the time they were widely considered animal food and later evolved into a European “staple”.
@@Mike-xq6ce I'm from Peru and live in the USA for 14 years. I tried those purple and red potatoes from whole foods, they were horrible. No flavor. The purple and red potatoes from Peru are creamy delicious like butter by themselves. You wouldn't know because you've never been to Peru.
I read an article in National Geographic many years ago that covered the importance of potatoes in Peru. It was amazing, and it's interesting to see it "in action" so to speak. Good job by Gordon.
This is what I love, and what I want more of. Going off to somewhere new and discovering new foods (for yourself) and telling others about them. I had the same experience when I stayed with a family deep in the South Korean countryside. I was treated to the most amazing meal that was made completely with fresh produce or wild forage. Homemade kimchi, acorn cake made from foraged nuts, and the most whiskey made with the most bizarre looking ginseng root you've ever seen (it was in the shape of a person almost).
@@brucewebb7495 it’s easier and cheaper than you think man.. there are many ways to find cheap vacations to these type of locations.. just do your best in researching where u want to go, the expenses, and honestly the flights is where the high cost comes in so look for discounts and promotions. I went to Japan thinking I had to spend thousands but after digging deep I found cheap flights, hotels, and most of my money was spent on gifts and traveling within japan
It's so bizarre how Gordon reacts nearly identically when he's presented with amazing food and terrible food: a)"Oh dear, look at the X coming out of there" while holding up the food to the camera b)The person making it says something crazy and Gordon goes "Are you taking the piss" or some variant of it c)Abundant cussing if unsupervised
I saw the colorful potato (papa andina) and inmediately i knew he was in Peru. Those potatoes are absolutely delicious, specially in chip form with salt
@@Eftkud So, potatoe chips exist everywhere but nothing compares to the flavor of the real fresh potatoes eaten in Peru and that's what I'm talking about here.
This is the type of content I am here for. Amazing new things from a different culture. I love to see how others live and what the eat. I do hope he finds that lady that can peel the nobbly potato.
Me encanta que ni bien conoce a Manuel, y le ofrece ver sus papas, inmediatamente se agacha y comienza a sacarlas del suelo. 😂 Definitivamente es un científico loco para las papas.
We got a shipment of these in when I was working at Emeril's and they made the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Wish I could get some here in the states.
I like the joke they have in their culture about the potential daughter-in-law having to peel the nearly impossibly shaped potato in order to prove she loves the son, lol.
You should come to an incredible place in the central part of Peru, Pariahuanca ... It has 5 elevational floors and products from the Andes are grown, Costa, and Selva is an incredible place☺️ ... You are my idol I adore you
This is exactly why I don not understand racism........You learn and GROW so much by exploring different cultures. You can see the genuine people in their element. PRICELESS!!!
Well, it’s actually pretty simple. Nowadays people become xenophobic (not racist) because they feel that their culture is endangered where they live because foreigners are storming in. This is kinda fair, I mean they have mostly no prejudice against foreigners when they live their ways in their lands. I wouldn’t like either to be one of those peruvian traditional farmers and see italian winemakers settling all around my fields.
I love seeing the cultures of the world. But there can only be so much greater culture within one location before some of it blends together, and some of it gets overridden. Due to population movements, so many peoples and cultures have been erased throughout history it's beyond counting. So what happens if you import a little bit of every other country/culture and try to add it to your own? The existing culture, and people, cease to exist. I am for preserving the diversity and uniqueness of the world and all it's peoples, and that means protecting the peoples and cultures within their own homelands from being replaced by foreign peoples and cultures, be that from the colonialism that was the norm prior to century ago, to the "diversity politics" of today, which contrary to it's name, seeks to make the whole world a homogeneous grey blob. I am called a racist, a xenophobe, and a bigot when I express these views.
When you see these things, from your little own world , you can see how big and beautiful it is if you want to know. Different amazing cultures. And food is culture
When I watch people go to these places/villages, most of the time I get this feeling of them not actually caring and not taking the time to appreciate the peoples culture, but i get the exact opposite feeling with Chef Ramsay and that’s what makes me enjoy his content. He’s willing to learn and he’s so patient.
What a wonderful clip. Interesting food, agriculture information, cultural lessons, and at the end Ramsay tops it off by insulting the french. What a blessed episode.
thats pretty normal here in the Philippines we have a lot of varieties of potatoes out here different coloration ,pink, blue, violet, yellow, red, purple, white etc. lot of countries cultured those amazing veges and fruits originated in the brilliant island of the Philippines.
those pigments are ANTHOCYANINS. They're common in a lot of plants, but in many cases only express themselves under stressful conditions such as low temperature or elevation. Some people even pay more for purple cannabis, even though anthocyanins are not psychoactive.
Stressed plants produce colors to protect themselves, more polyphenols and more nutrients. Very healthy potatoes to eat. Very good tasting ones as well. You can tell the people there also look very healthy. Bye bye Keto.
What's so amazing is that Gordon teaches people, but he also understands he isn't the most experienced, so he learns himself. He teaches all that he knows and goes out seeking from others
I really like the title. Without specifying what kind of potatoes blew him away, it makes it sound like Gordon Ramsay has never seen potatoes before, and was blown away by trying them for the first time. 10/10 almost as good as the titles on the Kitchen Nightmares RU-vid channel.
In my region in France we have these blue/purple potatoes in our family garden they are amazingly good and literally melt in your mouth once cooked, but we have less yield out of them they are in average a little bit smaller
Ramsay has proved that cooking is a palette experience, but also an educational one. By showing us these unique potatoes, he's subtly advocating for local farm to table farming and preserving age old organic farming.
after all the angry moments and arguments throughout Gordon's illustriously revered career, its really refreshing to watch him being genuinely happy and enjoying his time.
Potatoes are literally the main and only reason why I would go to Peru. Always impressed been impressed by their farmers ever since I first heard of them.
As a homesteader, I would _love_ to get my hands on some of those to grow; but, I know they would never survive where I am so I have to appreciate them from afar.
@longemen3000 While true that potatoes are an adaptable crop, many vegetables or even strains of vegetables from Central and South America are day-length sensitive, meaning they require a certain number of daylight hours to properly grow. An example of such a crop is the purple corn called Maiz Morado or Kulli, used to make chicha morado. It has specific day length requirements. A local seed company tried marketing the seeds to American gardeners but it was only the gardeners in the southernmost regions of the US that were (barely) able to get a crop. I suspect that many of these potatoes may have the same adaptation but farmers wouldn't know because it matches their daylight cycles anyway. (We do have some day-length sensitive crops here in the US - onions and spinach, for example.)
@@THall-vi8cp Yes dude! Someone that actually informs themselves before commenting. The Peruvian potatoes do infact need specific altitude, climate, soil type I think, and other characteristics in order to grow properly.
