Let's Try Cactus 

I did not expect you to like it😭 also I like your shirt ❤️

Glad you liked it! I recommend sautéing the cactus leaf with some sliced onions till they’re caramelized and enjoying them together. Goes well with a slice of Mexican cheese in a taco all together. Highly recommend since you liked it! People also make cactus salad, but it tastes different (more fresh and sour). I prefer it sautéed like this.

"Let's make cactus kulfi. Kulfi is basically like ice cream and it's a very popular frozen dessert in Pakistan. You know saturdays are my cheat day."

Every time I’m looking for a recipe to cook, I always go to this guy. He’s just so cool

I am glad you liked the nopales…As a Mexican this warms my heart 😃

Glad you liked it! Cactus is great alongside protein and in burritos. And Totally agree with you on the Pakistani-Mexican fusion. I make Karahi with 50% of each “family” of ingredients, frequently. They go together great.

All i can think about is Sokka trying cactus juice and saying "It will quench ya. Nothing is quenchier. It's the quenchiest." 😂💀

You want to slice it into thin slices, then sautee with some onions, garlic, and chillies. Scramble that with some eggs for a tasty breakfast, or use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, etc. they're also really good pickled, although they're a bit slimy like okra. You can actually buy jars of them pickled, usually if the Latin american food section of grocery stores in the southwest US.

*Gully : “Apparently some cacti are poisonous”* Proceeds to eat

watching you enjoy something from my region so much makes me so happy

Never imagined you could fry cactus like chicken-

I'm mexican and from my vague memory we ate this in salad form, 'ensalada de nopales' and we fry up the nopal kinda similarly or sometimes it's boiled I think and then dice it then add some diced tomatoes and onion and cilantro I believe. From what I remember it tastes pretty good. It's a simple dish but that's one way we used to eat it.

My whole family loves “ Nopales “ ( Spanish term ) they eat them as a side with beans, rice, meats, and you can even dice it up and add it to “pico de Gallo” to make it deluxe edition.

It tastes amazing with molé sauce, but it's good with eggs in the morning too :) braising them in salsa with some shredded pork or beef is also really good.... lots of different ways you can eat nopales 😋🌵

I'm from Mexico, and, we call it Nopal along all over the country and we usually cook them with scrambled eggs, or also filled them with some cheese 👌🏼

We usually cut it into pieces and make a salsa with tomatoes,onions,serrano pepper and cactus aside with a tortilla and eat it like that or add a spicy or mild salsa. Also another recipe it cactus with eggs, onion and tomato and tortillas also a homemade mild salsa its delicious and healthy !

*_Here's how you can make cactus kulfi. Kulfi is basically like ice cream and it's a very famous frozen dessert in Pakistan. You know Saturdays are my cheat days_* 💀

0:23 hold up wait a minute you don't know how to cook. That means all the kulfi videos were fake I just lost my hero. Me : starts crying 😭😭😭😭

Didn't know it was safe to eat, we learn things everyday with Gully!

This is my Fav ! you should try cactus chopped up with onions cilantro & fry up your cactus wit with some chili flakes & put it on a taco (you might need a mexican salsa too add to it ) but its really good !!🎉

This video is pure good vibes , keep up the great work

It's amazing how you always have something that can describe its taste.

I don't know why but him getting all excited after eating just put a smile on my face!

Plant: *exists* Humans: Welp boys, it’s dinner time

Ur an inspiration to all those foodies out there.

I've expected of that cactus looking like an avocado

This is a certified "You MADMAN" moment

Here's how you can make cactus kulfi,kulfi is basically like ice cream and it's a very popular frozen dessert in Pakistan. You know Saturday's are my cheat days. In a large pot add milk, heavy cream , milk solids and sweetened condensed milk.

I love making pickled cactus. I remove all the knots and needles, of course, then I bake it in salt. Like literally under salt, and it removes the slimy stuff. Then I'll quickly wash the salt off, set it in some vinegar with spices and the next day it's a perfect topper to tacos, sushi, and just by itself on a dish. If you can, grow prickly pears to grow in your yard (they grow fast!) and you won't run out of food when the economy collapses :)

Man I love your content seriously

Nopales con cesina is very good! We would often eat it for breakfast in Guerrero, Mexico.

There is a chef called Timoteo Domingos, he makes a lot of dishes with cactus i recommend you take a look at his recipes :)

Off topic, but Gully I wanna ask what's your opinion about Gane Ciryl Vs Jon Jones fight?

Oh, yes yes yes. We, Mexicans, love them! My dad has grilled these a couple times when we'd have a carne asada as a kid. My Mom has made them with steak, tomato, garlic, bell pepper, and onion. Soooo yummy!😁🤤

the cactus is really good! it has this metallic flavor and excretes this red juice when I bite it! its amazing!

I’m guessing shishito pepper ?

The Pufferfish Vegan Version💀

Why was that so satisfying when he took his first bite 00:27

love to see someone eat this and stay sane. i’ve been playing dst too much

wait how lmao didnt knew this was a thing

Try adding it diced up in Pico De Gallo Salsa. I make it like this all the time adding bite size cucumbers in the mix with lime juice seasoned to taste. I usually add some clamato too but not a lot. Gives it a similar taste to Ceviche but with no sea food. I plate it on a tostada, smearing a bit of mayonnaise to taste, piling on the pico and adorning the top with shredded queso fresco and Mexican hot sauce of your choice. Ill eat like 3 or 4 of these for a meal. Really filling and all veggie as well. Its also sold sliced up in jars as well. Just make sure to rinse it out before you dice it up.

Been eating cactus since I met my wife who's Mexican. I add it to salads or tacos or whatever I can when we can find it available. If you haven't tried it you're missing out!

Gully is absolute madman

I thought they were called "prickly pears". They can be found in Mexico and also in some U.S states like Arizona, Texas, California and I have seen them in southern Italy as well.

the best way to get rid of the glochids from cactus (or prickly pear) is by burning them off on a gas stove or something, just dont keep them there too long. source : adam raguseas cactus and prickly pear video

why does this look oddly appetizing

Idk why im addicted watching this, its been 5 times today and i forgot in total since this video was posted

Kulfi is a frozen dairy dessert originating in the Delhi under the Mughal Empire during the Mughal era in the 16th century. It is often described as "traditional Indian ice cream". It is popular in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East and part of the national cuisines of India, Pakistan, and Trinidad and Tobago.

That's a very normal "dish" here in México but it's not cactus it's called "nopales", we usually eat it cooked just with salt an oil, but you can also dice it then cook it, then add tomatoes, onion salt and lime. Another way of preparation its cutting it in strips cooking it add onion also in strips then add black pepper salt and clove. I hope this is helpful for you Gully. P.S: I really like your videos. also don't forget to try making "Nopal" Khulfi (Sorry if I have any redaction spelling or any kind of mistake, im a native spanish talker and english it's my second language) EDIT: Ñ

In Mexico we make ensalada de nopales, Cactus salad, cut the cactus in small cubes, let it rest 30 minutes in water to remove the goo, change water and boil them like a potato, but ad half spoon of vinegar, pour cold water to stop cooking, combine with diced raw onions, diced tomato, diced green chilies and a bit of cilantro, add powdered ranchero cheese, you can make a taco with salsa or eat on their own, hope You like this recipe and try it.

It is also called opuntia it is a modification of stem usually found in aired regions and have water minerals and photosynthates

Se volvió Méxicano,yo lo recomendó con guacamole

Anything: exists Early Humans: wonder how that would taste like Humans today: cactus

Cactus is super underrated as an ingredient

Idk why I like watching you work but I do lhh it's a nice experience

Pakistani-Mexican fusion cuisine sounds amazing... Also nopales are good on steak tacos I've heard!

As mexican, we call them "Nopales". Theyre a tradicional food in tacos.

Cactus: having sharp needles to defend itself Wise man: mmmm appetizer

Our family cooks it with scrambled eggs. Great when combined with tomatoes and onions for a nice breakfast.

I did not expect you to put a sound effect 😭 GOAT tho 😈😈

Camel : Eats cactus Human : hmm let’s try cactus

I love cactus! Cut in string and sautéed with anything is good!

That actually looks very tasty good work, very good work now I’m going to get some cactus

Always learning new things with Gully! I for some reason assumed Cacti would taste either mildly sweet, like an aloe, or like cucumber. Never would I have assumed sour and the taste of spice without the heat.

Wow!!! This touched my heart and hits home because nopales is part of our part of our Mexican nutrition you make a salad out of it with red onions, cilantro and Serrano chilis. You can add baking soda to keep a nice green color and avoid the slime release of the Nopal A pineapple 🍍 and nopal smoothie tastes good just blend w water and drink chill

The golden balance yessir I love you and his videos bro

We should appreciate this guy👍🏻so brave

bro on mission to eat entire universe💀

Nopal with melted cheese is the best ❤

When you mentioned Pakistani and Mexican cuisine, from a mexican born and raised, The Middle East and us have a bit of history. In many ways than one. More specifically, I got reminded about the origin of Tacos Al Pastor. They came to this world when some Lebanese brought over to Mexico a Kebab stove AKA Shawarma Grill in the beginning of the 20th century. Then we'd proceed to give the kebabs our iconic spin. They wouldn't catch on until the 60's. While you can make Pastor without the Shawarma Grill, it's not the same.

Cactus pico de gallo with fresh cheese and tostadas is the best. I was not a fan for some time but with pico de gallo it gives it so much flavor.

There's a lot of overlap in cuisine between Pakistan and Mexico because they have similar climates and soil, so similar things grow there! Cuisine is developed from what's available

some cact have super small thorn thing tho, i suggest to burn the cactus before cooking it, make the cactus safer plus add a charcoal flavor

Bro taking this "let's try" Series toi far 💀

In Mexico we call it nopales and use it At lot of dishes, glad u like it

Bro is restoring sanity.

My mom used to make a cactus soup when I was little and it was so delicious I and I think the taste you're tryna describe is that taste that i found so pleasant and why I found it so good

Fried beans and cactus with either a spicy or non spicy salsa for flavor is basic and easy yet incredibly delicious, I recommend that for breakfast and you can even add in egg

I want this guys fridge and cooking skills

Fun fact: That's not a cactus. Here in Mexico, where I'm from, we call it nopales, and if you look closely at the Mexican flag, the eagle is on a nopale

"Let's try cactus." "Cactus cactus bo bactus, Banana fana fo factus Fee-fi mo mactus Cactus."

the last we saw of our boy gully

0:06 OOF

Tried it yesterday, woke up today to 30 landmines made of potatoes around my bed and flying condiments.

in 10 years :lets try the moon

Drink cactus juice. It's very thrust quenching. It'll quench ya. Nothings quenchier. It's the quenchiest.

The secret is obviously in the spices, my brother. In Mexican cuisine coriander, cumin and chilli pounders are the Mexican version of Masala that is quite similar to what is in Pakistani cuisine. Of course, in Pakistani cuisine ginger, cardamum and Garam Masala are must. They make the special taste of Pakistani cuisine 😋😋

This is a Cactus variety call Nopal, In Mexico it is a traditional dish, we eat it diced, mixed wit diced jalapeños, onion, tomato, powdered fresh white cheese, oil, salt and lime.

This is basically: "How to cook water"

This guy deserves this 👑 absolute gigachad 🗿

I think Cacti is one of the most underrated delicious types of plants! (None poisonous ones of course)

This dudes videos make me hungry for whatever he's cooking... Even cactus

Prickly pear cactuses are amazing to ate after you scrape of the pricles. Make a prickly pear chai or kulfi with it!

We usually eat it with grilled asada or chicken. Also can be mixed with a pico de gallo. You can also cook them like you would do with tomatoes in jars and boil in water.

Gully next content " guys we have eaten everything so it is my cheatdays so no more food to try " 💀💀

normal Mexican dish

*"it will quench ya, nothing is quenchier, its the quenchiest"*

I can get one of these on my way home from school directly from their plants I never thought they were edible lol

Try taking those prickles off by searing in open flame. The char gives a nice flavor!

Bro died after this video 🤣
