Skyrim Test Kitchen: Elsweyr Fondue 

"Skooma!" "No you racist." Lost it in the first minute of this video

"SKOOMA" Al drops a bag of cocaine on the counter

Vampire test: Al => Negative George => Uncertain

Sheogorath appears in the kitchen: "CHEEEEEESE! FOR EVERYONE!"

Sheogorath approves, obviously. There's CHEESE after all!

You better leak the cheese grating footage, george. The fans d e m a n d it.

"Are u trying to impress me?" *yup* "...well its working"

Finely minced raw garlic is one of three primary heat elements in my pico de gallo recipe, medium heat. The other two heat elements are jalapenos and common garden variety radishes round out the three. Add in finely sliced rings of green onion, finely minced white onion, finely diced green, gold and red bell pepper, finely diced tomato, lemon or lime juice either will due, fresh squeezed is best. The citric acid adds zest, flavor and doubles as a preservative (along with the salt) and makes your salsa fresca last all week in the fridge. Don't forget to season with salt to taste and bust out the f***ing chips already! The citric acid will preserve this blend for up to a week but every gallon I make disappears in two days in our house. If you want it hot you can add any number of really hot pepper like habaneros or even those Indian ghost peppers if you don't value your internal plumbing or somehow enjoy sh1tting fire for two or three days. :P Seriously though, y'all did a great job tag teaming the fondue so maybe you're ready for pico de gallo. It means peck of the rooster or rooster bite... something like that. But, it's a few fresh ingredients combined with a lot of love and steady knife work so it's salsa fresca and is a simple blend of fresh ingredients, not cooked in any way. So, the farmer's market is your best bet if you have one nearby. You can double, half or multiply this recipe which makes a quart or so of pico as written. two pounds of fresh tomatoes finely diced (get the freshest, reddest, most aromatic tomatoes available) 2 green, one red and one golden bell peppers finely diced 6-12 jalapenos finely minced 2-3 bunches of radishes finely matchstick cut so they actually look like tiny match sticks 2 bunches of green onion finely sliced into tiny rings 3-5 cloves of finely minced raw garlic cloves I often use two bunches of cilantro but you should at least add one bunch all finely chopped removing as many stems as possible. It seemingly takes forever but I pull each leaf individually from the stem before I chop the cilantro. Stems are never good to find in your weed stash or cilantro. (I use two or three large cloves or more if they're tiny) all the freshly squeezed juice from 3-5 lemons or limes, your preference and finally add salt to taste while stirring all the ingredients together in a large bowl. You can dig in immediately which is hard not to do after smelling the beautiful aroma develop in your nose for an hour or more. If you have bad knife skills this recipe can help you hone them. Just be careful. This is the most knife intensive recipe I know. You wash your veggies then you cut the veggies it is simple yet difficult to master at the same time. Twenty plus years ago, when I still worked in a kitchen daily to avoid starving as a professional musician, I could generate enough minced veggies to make a gallon of pico in about an hour. At 53 it takes me all afternoon! Speed with a chef's knife can take years to master and those skills deteriorate quickly when you don't use them daily. I can still make a masterful presentation with my knife work it just takes me forever now and I usually recruit family members to help. This recipe is pretty versatile too; stir in several creamed avocados and you get guacamole', add diced papaya and or mango for more salsa fresca combinations. I hope you give my pico de gallo a try and thanks for the fun videos. I'll pass on the stims and rad away but I will try the fondue. Thank you :) Adventure on friends. :)

If there is one thing, one guy should never say to another... "RUB IT IN THERE"...seriously. 😂

This is my favorite dish to cook in Skyrim. It is just so damn useful in many ways, in battles, ranking up magic skills, or using spells beyond your mana pool.

The look of instant regret on George's face when he ate the garlic...priceless!

i’m waiting for the Potage le Magnifique

The best show our generation will ever make, i want to see more fun stuff like this inspired by tes

I'm addicted to both this and the Fallout kitchen series. Hopefully you guys can get together more often for these kinds of vids. Thanks again for making these awesome videos!

I'm no professional, but given personal experiences with cleaning melted cheese that's cooled and hardened into a dish, the garlic may somehow prevent or at least help with clean up afterwards? Like maybe it lessons the cheese's ability to bond to the surface? That's my guess at least, since if it was just for flavour it'd make more sense to just add it to the mix. The way the mix kept sliding down the sides without leaving much on the pot walls as you stirred makes me think that might actually be the case.

You guys are such a pair. Awesome friend chemistry. More of these please, btw!

"Oh man I have nails in my face" lol

I've been gone from your channel for almost a year, used to always watch you, I just came back and started watching you again and i've been graced with all of the great things that I missed, especially the Test Kitchen series. Keep up the great work George, i'm back to stay!

As somewhat okay at cooking, this series hurts me. But as a fan, I love it so much

Hahaha, that garlic still had a bit of kick, huh? You guys can try baking the garlic in olive oil first. I bet it would add a really great extra dimension of flavor.

George just towering over Al is just so goddamn funny to me and I can’t explain why

Al lookin' like the real snack here

This technically should have cocaine in it.

I think they wanted you to rub the garlic inside the pot because many people don't crush garlic and that is pretty necessary to getting a good garlic taste, even chopping garlic won't have the same effect as crushing it

good to see you in top health again man whish you only the best keep up the good work

My God, I got an ad for KitchenAid before the video! You guys now are in the foodie genre! 🤣

This reminds me of mothers cooking, back in elsweyr

i love these please dont stop

Have you never cut an apple, Al?

So...it basically is just traditional fondue XD

Is Al really short or is George just a jolly (not) green giant?

I think it would be cool if you guys answered some questions during some of the "down times" of the episodes. Such as when mixing or chopping. Not that your guy's commentary isn't awesome, just to add just a little more to the videos. And I'm also only talking like 2-3 questions. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Love these videos George. Hope you two make more of these after covid!!

Hey Guys, lots of fun watching you...I'd love to see you make the Boiled Creme Treat

ONLY HALF A POUND OF CHEESE?!!?!? PAH milkdrinker

I think the traditional recipe for cheese fondue doesn't have the garlic cooked in it, they just rub it in the pot to give a little flavor to the fondue ;) But Kajit likes garlic! :D

sounds like I have an idea for my first test dish this Thanksgiving!! about time I put the book to good use. thanks y'all!!

glad to see your looking better. and who know,mabey next time you guys can try Skooma

Hey George! There's a new DLC sized Skyrim mod out called Carved Brink. It's by the same mod author as Project AHO. You should play it next!

Raw Garlic = instant regret. If you want to bring out the garlic flavour and build upon it, I suggest roasting the garlic

As a chef this recipe needs modified at least twice as much moon sugar

Well watching this the onpy though going through my head was. There most definitely going to fuck this up. Lol love George and his channel though!

YUM!

YES

so wholesome, 'ppreciate ya

Hey, guys! New subscriber here! Um... Did you know that there's a Warcraft Cookbook by the same author as this one? Chelsea Monroe-Cassel is an absolute WIZARD at cookbook-writing!!

I know, the joke is getting old, but are there no SKEEVER related recipes? 😁🐀

I think you are actually supposed to cook the garlic onto the pan bottom to season it. Sometimes it is called sweeting the garlic.

Nice video 😃keep up the good work

I mean its basically cheese fondue, could use better cheese or maybe one or two more to give it flavour but yea its pretty easy to make.

Made this recently. I added a little old timey mushroom ketchup, but that's it. It's good with apples, ham, roast beef, potatoes, and tomatoes, if you want to try some dippers!

We have the same dish and silverware set

goddammit now I'm hungry at midnight after watching this.

4:58 that's not milk 😉

Yes eat the then eat the bread = garlic bread!!!

omgerd these are awesome

when are ya'll gonna make some GooGoo Bars and burn down a house?

yum yum

I so wanna try the fondue

Ok this is epic

Looks like that fondue is missing a crucial ingredient: Moon Sugar

"That's still a lot of cheese" Lol'd from Wisconsin

Welcome to the elder squirrels, enjoy your cheese!

PLEASE DO MORE ELDER SCROLLS TASTE TESTS

CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!! *manic laughter*

*May your road lead you to warm sands!*

its looks so good, im thinking about making it as well. I also pre-order the cookbook from Amazon so when I get it, im going to be the Gourmet lol :)

Is Al standing in a hole?

Al's Skooma addiction confirmed!

This one will conjure a skooma to drink

Next time try roasted red or golden potatoes with it... They go so well with all that cheese

Make more Skyrim ones!!!!!!! Pleasseeeee!!!

Khajiit has fondue if you have coin

you forgot the moon sugar or you could use pure cane sugar one or the other i prefer moon sugar

The name of that corn starch tho...

So basically you just boiled cheese

Use that 720 seconds wisely

Skooma 😂😂

Finally got around to cooking this in game and had it in my inventory when my kid asked me for a present. It was one of the options to give to her. Like lmao yeah just give your kids some cheesy cocaine.

You forgot the Moon Sugar! And it's ale, not wine.

i am just here for the moon sugar

So where is the Ale and the copious amount of moon sugar?

You should be using regular steel sauce pans for this recipe. I'm not sure what would be accomplished by rubbing garlic on a surface that nothing sticks to.

What will happen when he tries to make Skooma? 😂😂

How do you not have a whisk? If you do a lot of baking you are going to need a whisk!

It took me a second to notice Mi'iak (idk how to spell his name I'm such a bad fan 😭😭)

Brother is that another smooth skin looking for food?

but.. but... you need ale for Elsweyr fondue.... and a blue cheese of some sort

They forgot MOON SUGAR!!

Is there a skooma recipe? If so I got some Columbian friends who can hook you up with some authentic Moon Sugar.

George: "Do we have any grapes to maybe dip in this?" Al: "Well as a matter of fact, I FONdo.....*silence* ......but I left them...Elsweyr. *smiles while waiting for laugh track that never comes* "

is the potage le magnifique in the cook book?

Are Al and George roommates now or something? Forgot I was on George’s channel 😂😂

Where is the RU-vid video for making Skooma? I'm asking for a friend.

supposed to crush the garlic

Does it need more skooma?

Hello

@Tom Collingwood FIRST!

i’m sorry guys but that did NOT look like milk...

i've never seen anyone cut an apple this badly :(
