I Lied about Scotch Eggs | Botched By Babish 

You missed a golden opportunity to call this episode the botch egg.

I'm beginning to suspect that his ratatouille didn't contain real rats..

who ever did the CGI for this episode did an awesome job, that scotched egg looks so real.

6:55 I love how Kendall starts out looking flattered in a semi sarcastic way, but Andrew just keeps going and leaves her in actual tears by the end of the rant. Wholesome

Welcome to this weeks episode of "IS BABISH OK?" This week: Babish is not OK. Thanks for watching!

I feel like we're witnessing his maniacal supervillain origin story. Eggs. Eggs did this to him, and to us.

as a brit i can confirm that ppl never go to these lengths and I've never had one that wasn't hard boiled inside

This is one of the top 5 best episodes in the BCU. The slow slide into insanity, the banter, meta-commentary, editing, the self-aggrandizing callbacks, its all just perfect. If someone asked me to prove RU-vid channels have surpassed traditional television in terms of entertainment value, this would be exhibit A.

"it was an un-American......just kidding, it's probably the most American thing I've ever done." 🤣

I really hope babish read all these comments about how most scotch eggs don't have runny yolks and just ran around around screaming for an hour

Babish: “I wanna show you that I can make a scotch egg with a nice runny yolk” The video: *still has 10 minutes left* Uh oh Andrew

I have been eating scotch eggs for years. Never have I heard they should have a runny yolk. We always used hard-boiled eggs with hot honey mustard to dip them in.

The "I MADE SO MUCH MONNNEYYYYY" got me. I laughed like an idiot

It's considered a simple British snack food because we use hard boiled eggs. Runny yolks are for poncy 'gastro' pubs and Londoners.

I love how as soon as Kendall leaves, it's just feral chaos. No remorse. It's a beautiful thing.

I love how suave and cool Babish appears in his normal videos and he's a goofy hyper cooking lunatic in these ones, it's great.

seeing babish go from almost suave cooking man to crackhead food scientists put a freaking smile on my face

Watching Andrew slowly lose his grip on reality while trying desperately to prove his life isn't a lie, as his friends watched on in absolute horror, is really relatable; and makes me feel better about when I do those things..... Anyways leave a message

I like how babish is actually insane but the more heavily edited videos (binging/basics etc.) make him feel way more calm. Maybe the lie isn't over yet...

Brad's soft "... because he's lying again" 👌🏼 Brad, you are a treasure. A bejeweled trinket. The pirate's own boot. We love you.

His energy is so chaotic in this whole thing he’s like the cat meme that says “mother- mother I crave violence”

As someone who lives in the UK, I do have a best scotch egg experience: I was working as a builder’s labourer at the time and my boss was the quintessential Northern hard man . Gruff. Tough. Vastly disliked me for being a Londoner. Anyway. We were working on a roof at the time, and the client had left us some fancy scotch eggs as a lunchtime offering. My boss, unwilling to concede that chewing is a necessary first step of the digestion process, insisted that I ate the egg as quickly as possible to return to work, and decided to demonstrate how to eat a scotch egg in a single bite. Friends, he jammed the snack in his mouth (not unlike Andrew) and bit down. I will never forget the sound. It was, as the kids would say, a ‘cronch’. It was not the mellow sound of a man biting through meat and egg, no. It was the sound of a man biting through a boiled egg with the shell still on, with some deep fried meat in the way. Long story short, he had a funny turn and threw up, and we all got to go home early. And my scotch egg was delicious.

Scotch eggs are traditionally hardboiled in my experience but soft boiled eggs in them taste better in my opinion and I think it really is up to the maker

Just a heads up! The pub recipe I use actually calls for less sausage around the egg. You cover that egg in a TON of sausage! It’s a thick layer and I’d say that’s why it’s not cooking all the way through. When I do them, I soft boil them just enough to where I can still peel them, and then I actually bake them. By the time the sausage is done, the whites inside solidify and the yolk is still gooey. Hope this helps!

I can't help but notice that the chaos level has significantly increased since Josh from Mythical Kitchen stopped by for a tattoo in the kitchen.

Kendall leaves and Andrew is immediately like a child whose parent has left for five minutes

I work in a pub kitchen in England and I can tell you I have never seen a man suffer so hard making a Scotch Egg. (Also never really heard of a runny core)

i clicked on this video not knowing what a scotch egg is. after watching the entire video, im still not sure what a scotch egg is, but I know for sure what a beautiful friendship is.

i love that this show has such high production value and yet it exudes purely chaotic, low-budget energy

"IS THAT VULNERABLE ENOUGH FOR YOU?!?!" Meanwhile Kendall cries quietly in the background

Honestly this episode is the best. Kendall, thanks for being you. Babish, thanks for being vulnerable on camera and telling us just how valuable Kendall is to you and the team!

The current price of eggs makes me weep for all those sacrificed in this episode

Andy: * tries his darndest for a runny yolk inside of the Scotch eggs * Brits in the comments: the egg is supposed to be hard-boiled though

Best cold open: babish, running behind a weird egg Second best cold open: babish, tearful, confessing his sins whilst slicing onions

The old saying goes, "people watch a juggler to see them drop something" or some such. This was a work of true beauty.

The way he devoured that egg in one bite while making eye contact with the camera sent chills down my spine

"It was the most American thing I coulda done. I made so much mONEY --" Demented. Vile. This is the energy I didn't expect but appreciated nonetheless

Andrew: "Is my mic working? Is it touching my shirt?" Brad: "Umm let me listen" Andrew: *SHRIEKS*

So who's gonna tell him that, by opening the egg steamer twice, the cooking times were altered for the 7 and 8 minute eggs??? Bless his soul, this is the best babish video of all time 🤣🤣🤣

7:34 - Why did I immediately think he was going to say, "which is why it's tough to see we are letting her go..."

That line “I wouldn’t know, because the only one I’ve had was a lie” and the walkout right after, cracked me up!!! 😂

"It was un-American... that's not true." I could picture everyone's fingers approaching then contently receding from the keyboard.

I can't help but love how adorable Kenall is/has been throughout all she's gone through with Babish (whether through random happenstance or through becoming a part of Babish Inc. etc. etc. etc.) She's a master of what she does and I'm always super excited to see what more she can knows and can do :D Regardless of what Babish says/does/etc., KENDALL, YOU ARE AMAZING AND DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE GOING FOR YOU!!!

This is significantly more chaotic than I expected and I couldn't be happier

"he does this a lot" Andrew: **Collapses mid existential crisis**

“Recipe for disaster” should be a series in the Babish culinary universe. Kendall has Andrew try to follow a recipe that he’s never cooked before

It's weird (but very comforting) to see babish worse at a food thing than I am. Brb gonna go peel a bunch of eggs really fast.

Dude he do it. I was busy dying from him breaking that plate on his head.

"America, I'm sorry. China I'm sorry. Norway I'm sorry. Ireland I'm sorry. Scotland, you had this coming." This got me.

As a Brit who has eaten many Scotch eggs i have never had one with runny yolk, i didn't even know that was a thing. You set yourself a real challenge here :D ours all have hard boiled eggs inside

'Say a prayer for me cause I really want to go play video games' is a mood I am 100% in approval of.

I have watched this at least ten times and I love it every time.

The "botched" series are so genuine and feel alive and "real" for me. One of the best things to watch when I'm feel sad or moody.

To be fair, I've never had a runny-yolked Scotch egg. I'm in Scotland. A runny yolk in a Scotch egg would be outrageously gourmet by everyday standards.

Been watching this episode play out in my own kitchen over the last year or so, as my girlfriend tries to get a perfect scotch egg. I think she's finally got it down though. Last week's scotch eggs were *chef's kiss*. For peeling soft boiled eggs she figured out that you don't just shock them in ice like hard boiled eggs, you friggen let them get COLD in the ice water. Then to get the pork cooked, she fries for texture then finishes in the oven.

24:19 feels like the scene from sonic boom where eggman is complaining about his food and he says "the soup is cold and the salad is hot. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!!!"

"It was the most American thing I could have ever done", That is the biggest FACTS I ever thought.

Brad's segment about messing up with the camera was so heartwarming. Also his editing is pure genius.

I think the whole snack food thing is when they're made by people who make them like every day. Relatively simple ingredients, bulk-friendly cooking methods, and particular timetables. With a lot of experience and really specific timings for the ingredients I can see it making this a snack staple.

As a tired dad, I walk my kids to the shop every day and buy a scotch egg and an energy drink and it's a moment of energising bliss.

And that, kids, is why every Scotch egg you've ever eaten was hard-boiled.

I completely lost it when the plate broke, I wasn't expecting that at all!! The Botched series is honestly my favourite, it's so fun to watch.

The way he went from Apologetic to Capitalist in half a second was hilarious

The ad before the video: Islay, Scotland. Renowned for its Scotch whiskey. The video: Scotland, you had this coming.

If I can't trust Babish's eggs, then I must question my entire reality.

Babish: I lied :( Me: I knew it. He’s been wearing a bald cap for YEARS

27:53 he really channeled his Dennis Reynolds energy

Botched By Babish is the best series out there. Babish trying to solf boil(steam) eggs for the half of the video and in the end of the video the meat is still a little raw but he doesn't want to acknowledge it is just so hilarious. Also that plate braking..

Kendall being on the verge of tears while Babish was complimenting her was very wholesome.

The way he goes from somber to “made so much moneyyyyyyyy” truly makes me roll on the floor laughing

29:22 I can't believe Babish smashed a plate onto his head! That's the chaos that I come here to watch!

«I meant every single word... but I did do it in a weird way.» should go on your tombstone.

“Scotland, you had this coming” *Shots fired*

Andrew: Jokingly smacks plate on his head. Plate: Welp, Imma head out. (The best part is that you can hear the half hit the floor...and rattle slightly with no breakage.)

I love how Neopets had Scotch Eggs at a trash tier food. Learning about it later in life it sounds like Gold!

When you broke the camera over your head I seriously laughed out loud - thank you for all you do Babish Team. Life is happier because of you. Whenever I'm struggling to drag myself back into the kitchen and make generally better choices, a couple episodes and I'm inspired again.

"I made so much moneYYY" "Scotland, you had this coming" villainous even- Jokes aside, I love videos like these more of these unorganized videos please-

Theory: The Babish kitchen exists within an anomalous bubble where the laws of thermodynamics and/or the passage of time behave differently than they do in the rest of the soft-boiled egg cooking world.

"Back when I was single..." Andrew's entire fanbase: *sobbing*

I absolutely LOVE how the most replayed part of this video according to RU-vid is 29:18

My most interesting scotch eggspereance was while I was going to a camping event with my group in the SCA (live action medieval reenacting) I told my friend how to make them and he volunteered to pre-make 2 dozen for the group for breakfast. Saturday morning I awoke to the smell of him finishing warming them up in a pan and smelling the wonderful aroma of a camp fire and cooked meat. I got one and drooled with anticipation and took a bite and immediately herd and felt the unmistakable crunch of eggshell. He followed my directions to a T but I was under the assumption he would have the common sense to shell the eggs... No one ever made scotch eggs for the group again.

I really want to see a show called "Late Night Snack" where Andrew and a single camera-person make a complex recipie at 2 a.m. PS if this gets made please let me suggest the first snack.

ok this is brilliantly put together, one of my favorite episodes for sure

5:20 i love how much you show you care about your lexiconic ability in this moment, to have recalled previously utilized terms from earlier in the morning and then to have apologized publicly for what most of us wouldn't think twice about really shows the motivation you have for your craft babish but then right after you say "mash this up till its all f***ing whatever" and i found it way funnier than i shouldve

“It was the most American thing I could’ve done” I was drinking spicy pho broth, inhaled some upon hearing this, and spent the next few minutes coughing and laughing. Because it’s 100% true.

I love this video sm, these videos that seem to include many many more bloopers are so nice and funny to watch. Love the professional ones too but I hope we get more videos like these as well!

It's really reassuring that I'm not the only one who struggles to peel an egg compared to a RU-vid pro chef

"I wouldn't know, because the only one that I've had was a lie" That was a perfect jab

“Is that vulnerable enough for you?!” I burst out laughing.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE video to date!!! I hope this forever remains on the internet. I can’t believe we’ve gone from babish cooking meals, never showing his face, to this fine work of art. Absolute gold.

29 minutes in & I honestly can't decide if it would be funnier for this final egg to come out perfectly or fail spectacularly XD

Okay the lesson is clear: For a soft-boiled Scotch Egg, poach your eggs to a runny consistency and chill them so that everything inside has solidified, THEN proceed by encasing them in the sausage cocoon and prepping for frying. By having the eggs cooked to the consistency you know you want them at and then chilling them so they're ready after a deep fry, you're treating them the same way you would a mozzarella stick.

I love how much he just goes feral when he does Botched its incredible

The chaotic energy in this video is off the charts! I love it.

These behind the scenes cooking videos make me feel so much better about when I full gremlin in the kitchen when trying new recipe

Nobody talking about how he described himself as our “Little Sausage Friend”?

During the youtube egg meltdown of 2021 I realised where Babish went wrong. The UK does love scotch eggs. But no one in the past 50 or so years has actually made them at home. We buy them. The cheap ones are hard boiled, the expensive ones are semi soft boiled.

I've never identified so much with a cooking video before. You start out a new recipe or experiment so full of hope and excitement, then failure after failure that makes you question why anyone ever cooks and at the end, sometimes, the realization that you've done it.

The energy of this video is impeccable and I wanna see more of it

I cried from laughter when he broke the plate. Not for the slapsticks of it all but the sheer look of surprise in his face. And they kept rolling like nothing happened, love this show.
