Binging With Babish

Too slow :-P

This episode was especially neat since it covered all of those code words. I knew Animal Style already but not the others.

Disgusted, but not surprised

Im kinda disappointed he didnt make the MSG/Secret Sea Ingridient again for this one.

This episode was meant to show off the new kitchen (which it did well enough) and to show the results of decoding Bass' order.

BTW, after finding out the lingo for Texas Toast is "on a raft", I looked it up online to see where else it was used. That's how I found out the lingo for "beans on toast" is "Skin heads on a raft".

Huh.

Disgusted, but not surprised

I wonder if this episode was done before or after the recent controversy over Jeffrey Tambor's anger issues with his co-star Jessica Walter and how the rest of her male costars look insensitive when they try to not make a big deal about it.

Presumably before. He shoots episodes in advance. His other video with Sean Evans came out last week.

Y'know, I've always wanted to try cannoli.

Time to go back to Pizza

A relatively mundane one akin to the one-eyed Jack episode. As a result, he spends most of the episode on making the burnt crust.

Disgusted, but not surprised

Spends most of a week. Geez. Like, I love making homemade pizza, but damn if I'm going to make dough that takes like 4 days to be ready.

Yeah, this is definitely one that takes a lot of prep time. If I was going to do this, I'd at least make more than one pizza and have a homemade pizza party with others.

Part 1 of Bubba's shrimp recipes from Forrest Gump

Yes, the first two parter

I agree with him. Coconut shrimp is the best.

Disgusted, but not surprised

A sandwich so horrible to make and disgusting to eat that Babish can't make a better version of it. Truly one of the many, many reasons why Peter Griffin is horrible.

The first one that he couldn't make good.

This guy could make Rachel's trifle and Beet and Acorn cookies...palatable...but he couldn't work with this.

Disgusted, but not surprised

Well he does leave it to the audience to do it.

So we'd be going with some sort of dessert panini.

Swap the bread for brioche. Chocolate and Peanut butter are easily taken care of. Could go for a nougat to add some of the crunch the doritos would bring (Along with substituting for some of the white sugary stuff from the cadsbury egg). The only thing I can't think of a swap for is the sausages.

It's also not the first recipe he can't improve. There was the Dessert Pasta from Elf, and Mark's Water, Rum, Vinegar, Lettuce and Salt cocktail.

Unless swapping the sausage for sweet and sour minced pork is an option...that might go with chocolate.

Disgusted, but not surprised

I'd go the other way and ditch the sweet elements. Peanut butter can work in a savoury dish as a sort of satay sauce substitute, just best to make sure that it's an unsweetened one while substitute an actual egg (lightly fried, just enough to hold it's shape so that when pressure is applied the yolk spreads as a sort of sauce) and just slice the sausages up for ease of handling.

If you must include chocolate, go for unsweetened cacao. I have seen a type of sausage that uses unsweetened chocolate as an accent.

Not a bad idea. Could replace the egg with Balut for some thai thing with the peanut sauce. The more chickeny taste might work better with the sauce. (And lead to a terrifying cross-section)

Ultimately it depends on how far we can change things around while still saying we improved the sandwich without outright making a completely new one.

Well you've seen the series :-P there's ALOT of leeway.
