Yoel trying pies for the first time - outside of Cuba! At 35 years old he has never taste test different pies like blueberry pie, apple pie or pecan pie. After our last video on thanksgiving food reaction, you all rightfully complained we didn't have any pies. Today this cuban man reacts to all different pies at PIE HOLE LA. His first time in a bakery that specializes in only pie.
Thank you to Pie Hole LA for allowing us to film and giving us some pie :)

@jamestreanor4361 2 года назад

Yes, and if Yoel hasn't tried lemon meringue, then it is a must.

@jamestreanor4361 2 года назад

Yes, Pumpkin pie with the whip cream is a must, and Lemon Meringue will be one of his faves, and a chocolate/raspberry pie. The chocolate raspberry is an a crazy good combination. Enjoy

Yoel reminds me of a friend of mine who lives in Ghana. I was talking to him via video one night when I stopped in a McDonald's drive-thru. He watched as I placed my order and pulled to the first window to pay and the second window to retrieve my order. When I looked back at the screen, he had a stunned look on his face. He had no idea such a place even existed anywhere. That's when it hit home for me that we do NOT appreciate what we have here in the U.S. Fast forward to today - I'm presently helping him immigrate to the U.S. for a better life.

Yes, it is a great series to give to our "limosine liberal" friends. Yes, I have them. All these great restaurants and products come from the competition of capitalism. Pretty much everybody in America ( at least in the private sector) works every day to try to make their product or service better and more attractive to a voluntary buyer who has lots of choices. That is why we have great restaurants, great cars, great computers, great appliances. Every day so many people are working to make thing better. Without capitalsim, life would be ruled by the folks like the D.M.V.

@WoodsintheBurg94 9 дней назад

I was at a Northerner’s house who had transplanted to the South. They served us apple pie with a slice of cheddar on the side since they knew some people aren’t fond of it. To my taste buds it was a terrible combination. To each his own. Do what you like, just don’t serve me cheese with pie. 🙂

I love seeing Yoel enjoy the things that we take for granted sometimes. Watching him enjoy those pies reminded me of my family and how much they loved my pies. My Abuelita & my parents loved my Buttermilk pies, Lemon Meringue pies, Coconut custard pies and my Pecan pies. Seeing someone enjoy my food always makes me happy. Happy holiday blessings to everyone.❤️

I love watching your content because it reminds me of not just the struggles, but also the triumphs my mom and tios and tias experienced when they came to the US from Mexico. It's so incredibly heartwarming. Also I love listening to Yoel's English. It's very LA, very SoCal and very cool.

I would have been stunned if Yoel didn't love that Southern U.S. classic Pecan pie & am so glad he did. The one that brought tears to my eyes though was how Yoel reacted to Mexican Chocolate Pie. Not to sweet, should be dense but not heavy, hopefully uses Mexican Piloncillo, (cane sugar juice, Mexican Cinnamon and Mexican Vanilla cooked down into a block or cone), course Mexican Chocolate (best ground in a molcajete by an Abuela but Mommas are great too) and some salt and chili for flavor, intrigue and romance.

@XCerykX 2 года назад

Yoel was talking about the difficulty of growing pumpkins, it's actually difficult here too and isn't really farmed commercially for food because of that. Most pumpkin pies are actually made with squash that is much easier and profitable to grow. The chances of getting a real pumpkin pie are low unless you buy a pumpkin and make the filling yourself.

@YoelAndMari 2 года назад

oh wow I didn't know that!!

@MayorMcCheezy 2 года назад

The most common canned pumpkin is grown for the Libby's company in central Illinois. My older brother lives there and it's amazing to see the fields full of pumpkins growing there.

@theproceedings4050 2 года назад

Huh, I didn't know that, sugar pumpkins are pretty common up here in New England. We also have a lot of smaller farm operations though.

@msdarby515 2 года назад

Pumpkin is super easy to grow. Certainly not any more difficult than it is to grow any other squash or gourd. The reason they use squash rather than pumpkin is because pumpkin is more difficult to process. The puree doesn't turn out as smooth because pumpkin is stringy and it's not as naturally sweet as other squash. I understood Yoel to be saying pumpkin is seasonal and not available much for that reason.

@theproceedings4050 2 года назад

@@msdarby515 Now that makes more sense, this is why you should never really buy pies, unless it's a local bakery. They're not that hard to just make yourself.

@peggycrowley9534 2 года назад

I wonder how good the crust was on the apple. It looked like a crumb topping. I think a double dough crust made tender and flakey is more representative of a tradition apple pie. But, then again, I could be wrong. ;-)

@msdarby515 2 года назад

@@nateman10 It also makes a big difference what apples are used and spices and how you make the filling. I prefer a tart apple with enough sugar to make the filling juicy and wet so that the juices spill out when the pie is cut and soak up into the crust or mix with melting ice cream. That pie looked dry to me.
