  1. 2:26 body building being “superficial” makes sense since all the strongest man competitors and winners don’t look like body builders

  2. Donuts are a food that there is a huge difference between cheap and expensive. As I got older and ate fewer donuts or pastries as I watch my calorie intake, I started to buy mostly only “premium” donuts and pastries. The $1 donut at Dunkin’ or Krispy Crème or other cheap stores just taste low quality but that $3-$4 donut is often so much better. It’s with that extra $2-$3 for something I only eat on occasion.

  3. Adam, you seem like a very good person. More people like you taking some time to speak to students and provide some insights would certainly help more students really understand what's ahead of them after they graduate which will allow them to better prepare!

  9.  @bluebaconjake405  Ethan uses what other chefs say and do but then he tests different things and outcomes sort of like how Adam does. Adam looks at everything much more scientific including testing of various samples. Adam is a nerd which is why I like him but Ethan is fun guy who mixes in some academic work in videos which is why I like him.

  10. I love this question! I like my food hot or cold but not lukewarm or cool or room temp. Generally speaking of course. But I also don’t love it when it’s too hot or too cold.

  11. ClimateTown is a joke. He gets 90% of way there but then makes extremist assumptions. His videos are too preachy. If he scaled back some of his comments, I would really like it. But like most sources that have a clear bias (and bias isn’t always bad), it just goes to an extreme either for ideological reasons or for viewership. I’m progressive and there is nothing I consume that is strongly progressive because all of them tend to go far left with no or little care of opposing sides…it becomes an echo chamber. I like NPR because even though it picks stories that cater to the left more than the right, it covers each story very balanced.

  15. It’s also a race and identity problem. But the r8cist won’t accept that but will agree on the economic / class issue so we have to pretend race and identity aren’t also the target of all of this

  16.  @MrBrax  I’m confused — in Sweden vanilla (or the fake vanilla) doesn’t come in liquid form? It’s the actual bean?

  17.  @hxhdfjifzirstc894  I agree though I think it works only for their popular glazed donut. For all other donuts they have, that overly sweet and no texture just doesn’t work.

  18. This actually looks like a dish I will make!! Great combo of relatively easy instructions, ingredients I have, and tasty! I probably only try like 1 in 20 things I see in this channel though probably half the videos i watch are simply to learn cooking techniques and shortcuts even if the dish itself isn't something I would do.

  22.  @hidarling641  “even the dumbest of republicans realize that directly attacking the feds is a really bad idea”. Huh, is that why the republicans have been defending the Jan 6th rioters? Why they won’t hold Trump accountable? They think it’s a “bad idea” but it seems like they think a terrorist attack on the government isn’t such a horrible idea.

  23. Yes, he’s the reason I started cooking more and experimenting. Now I also follow other cooking shows like Ethan C, Food Wishes and this Mexican grandmother (de mi rancho).

  24.  @SupahGeck  that last line “can’t imagine my eggs will taste $5000 better” is funnier in Spanish. “Eggs” is what you call balls or nuts or testes in Spanish. “Can’t imagine my nuts will taste $5000 better”
    5
  25. I agree. Putting an egg on sandwich or burger is something that is for lunch not breakfast nor dinner. Sure, I'll eat it for dinner as well but it has more of a lunch / brunch vibe. But for the most part, adding eggs does make it more of a breakfast dish.

  33. To me they only have a slight taste — it taste like crunchy wafer with a slight bitter flavor. The Persian cucumber / pickle has no bitter taste to me

  34. KFC in the US use to be quality in the 80's but I think starting in the 90's, they felt pressure to compete in pricing and started lowering their quality. Then later some regional chains serving higher quality chicken start dominating the US market. Chick-Fil-A and Raising Canes took a big chunk and then Popeyes was more of a direct competitor on pricing and served better chicken. Today, nobody talks about KFC in the US. But I 95% refuse to go to Chic-Fil-A. I will go on the rare occasion but I mostly avoid due to their ties to anti gay groups. I have so many options for food, why give my money to a business that defends hate? And yes, I understand there are franchise operators but the same is for other businesses and their HQ isn't actively defending hate.

  35. I recently started making “Mexican pasta”. For the pasta sauce I use Mexican salsas that’s tomato OR tomatillo base though usually with both. Basically pasta, chicken, and salsa. So delicious

  40.  @Scerttle late 70’s and early 80’s are very different from Gen x and Millennials. Some call them Xillennials. I’m 45 and everything Adam says feels like it relates to me. People connected to 80’s and 90’s music will lean more Gen X though. Millennials were more connected to late 90’s, 00’s and 10’s are much more millennial

  41. Adam, about your age and had a similar experience. I was perfectly fine with milk and would drink maybe a cup every other day usually with a nighttime peanut butter sandwich or cereal. Then about two years ago I seemed to be going to the bathroom maybe 4-5 times a day. Not quite a solid bowel movement. Didn’t think anything about it because my stomach didn’t hurt and the symptoms came about slowly. But 9 months talked to my doctor and he said I became lactose intolerant. But sometime over the last 6 months started drinking milk again and my symptoms are considerably less than they were before. You mentioned that some people seem to handle whole milk better. I’m not sure when I switched to it but I began drinking whole milk instead of 2% in the past year. Maybe that was a factor? Or maybe it’s just an intermittent problem because I may have dealt with the same problems a few years ago as well. Either way, it’s tolerable for me with the only problem is the inconvenience of having to go to the bathroom maybe 2-3 times more in a day on SOME days. Probably like the Tibetans. I’m also Mexican (-American) with maybe 20% indigenous and the rest I assume Spanish. Spain has a lot of Germanic people history which is probably why most of my family is okay with milk because we are likely 80% Spanish ancestry.

  42. Hey Adam, I really like the idea of you traveling on occasion and doing food episodes of the city or region you’re in and then when you get back home you do some episodes on the food / dishes you saw. You probably won’t see this comment but I think that could have such potentials. Do a family trip to Paris, shoot a few episodes worth of food and cuisine there. Come back a week or two later and then start working on multiple ways to make crepe or soufflé or etc.

  43.  @HawkeyeFan321 it is about race and anyone saying it’s not an element of it is the type of person that agrees in Trump on his rac1st rhetoric and actions

  44. @hecticscone, then that would mean ultra processed food and non ultra-processed food are the same which again Means it has no impact. Unless you want to compare it to non food which would be worthless

  45. I’m also hooked on the Korean Chile paste!! It’s my go to. It’s convenient, versatile and tasty! My kitchen is a mix of Asian and Mexican— Korea chili paste, soy sauce, sichuan peppercorn, ramen, jalapeños, Mexican dried chilis, chipotle, tortillas, , etc!

  47. So do the people of England still call the 'English Muffins" just muffins or do they need to specify it at times with the rise of US style muffins? And yeah, I never thought about it but US style muffins are indeed cupcakes without icing. In the US, saying muffins by itself with no other context means US style. All other types need to be specified such as "English Muffins". >A crumpet is a totally different style of bread. If you haven't tried one, you're missing out! We have them in the US. Not as popular as English Muffins though but you can find them in some stores. They are often confused with english muffins.

  48. 22:17 you mention Western New York and western Pennsylvania or the Midwest. As someone who has traveled for work too much of that area and lives in the Midwest I can say I agree with you 100%. Buffalo and Pittsburgh have much more in common with the Midwest than they do the East Coast.

  49. I wouldn’t say ever right winger talking about it — there are many sheep out there and they just believe what their sides says without thinking too much about it. But I do think Adam cut them (right wing that are anti science) too much slack, the majority are most certainly being dishonest in order to support “their culture”. The right left split is becoming less about specific ideologies and more about culture. The right is far more guilty but when one side does it, you see the other side increase cultural wars in similar ways. Adam does make a good point about this saying he himself has hunkered down in certain positions that shouldn’t be set in stone…and I’m guilty of that on vaccines as well. The science is already strong that the Cov vaccine does greatly reduce death but having to fight off all the anti science crowd, I may be putting myself in a position where if serious long term side effects do emerge, I will have trouble accepting them for a while.

  50.  @jacewhite8540  More balanced sources rarely go in depth on one specific topic. Those that go in depth one specific topic generally are going to have a strong bias. I've realized that which is why I still consume biased sources but I am a little cautious with the information from it. With Climate Town, I caught a few times where they exaggerated something, ignored context, or just ignored some other relevant information. I continued to watch because he was still going in depth more than most sources. And a lot of the business focused news and information sources are going to right of center bias. I keep that in mind -- because unless they are ideologically right, they often make points that are relevant to even someone on the left.

  51. I’ve recently become lactose intolerant. I’m many many years past high school. It’s not bad and I have no issues with milk in moderation. But if I drink more than a glass of milk, I’m going to have runny bowel movements later. But nigh stomach doesn’t hurt. So it’s not a big deal if it doesn’t get worse. I just love milk and drink maybe a glass every other day either in cereal or with snacks such as cookies or peanut butter sandwich.

  53.  @m1a1abrams3  which ones? The west coast has already been filled up and too crowded. However they still keep growing. Nevada is blue and keeps growing fast. I’m not sure of any other blue state with warm weather.

  54.  @m1a1abrams3  AZ voted Biden and the population is growing as more and more people move there. What’s your point again? I thought you were going to name me other blue states that don’t have good population growth?

  57. I love Cherubs! Well, I love most small tomatoes but Cherubs is consistently good. They taste like a farmers market tomato without having to go to a farmers market!

  58. I’m extremely fascinated about the Roman Empire (and ancient civilization / medieval civ in general including Egyptian, greek, Huns, mongols, Chinese, Islamic golden age) but it’s for various reasons. It’s not just the military power but the politics and how they were able to create such an advance civilization for its time, the architectural accomplishments, and it’s influence.
    2
  59. I love this! I’ve been trying to eat more beans and less meat, especially beef. I still use a lot of chicken because it’s healthier for me and the environment than beef. And Chili tastes almost the Same with or without the beef so it’s not the biggest difference. Plus I have a beef broth (better than bouilan) so I can add that to this recipe. This is A very healthy and delicious way to eat more beans! Plus I might add some veggies to it!

  60. I don’t like raw onions at all but on a burger, I’ll tolerate it. On a Salad, I need it pickled a little in vinegar. But mostly I liked them browned / sautéed

  61. This was my favorite episode in a long time. Probably because there are only so many food videos I’m willing to watch and this topic is very interesting and less often discussed on YouTube. I love learning religious ACTUAL history. Not what’s taught by the church or bible (or equivalent of whatever religion) but what actually happened

  62. I have not been to Japan but wen to KFC China. It was certainly much better than KFC US. KFC in the US use to be quality in the 80's but I think starting in the 90's, they felt pressure to compete in pricing and started lowering their quality. Then later some regional chains serving higher quality chicken start dominating the US market. Chick-Fil-A and Raising Canes took a big chunk and then popeye was more of a direct competitor on pricing and served better chicken. Today, nobody talks about KFC in the US.

  68. Ethan chlebowski did it a video on bay leaves. Someone else linked it but didn’t give input on the result. IIRC, He found bay leaves do work for subtle flavors such as rice and I would assume in this chicken stock. But it’s subtle so it probably doesn’t work well in anything you’re going to add tons of Spice or other flavors.
    2
  69.  @KIJIKLIPS  i think Adam isn’t so sure because you usually can’t taste the bay leave but you will notice the difference if you don’t use it. It’s a subtle flavor only noticeable when not used. Also, since it’s a subtle flavor, it only works in specific dishes and Adam probably isn’t very use to those dishes.
    2
  70.  @KIJIKLIPS  yup, I’ve been experimenting with bay leaves. If there are are many strong other ingredients, I can’t taste the bay leaves. But if it’s a more simple dish (fewer strong flavoring ingredient), the bay leaves do make a big difference.

  71. Adam, most other food channels are only interesting for their food. You, however, are interesting for your overall knowledge and ability to talk to us the audience in a way that keeps us entertained in whatever topic your talking about. So MY OPINION (you do you of course), I welcome videos from you on a variety of topics (loved the Easter / Christian history episode) and at whatever pace you want

  72. Hey, two of my favorite YouTubers! Adam meet Johnny, Johnny meet Adam. Both of you love investigate with Adam focused on food and Johnny focused on…well, everything?

  74. 15:15 dogs name “manza” means Apple in Spanish. Nice name.

  75. I’ve always been troubled by the weak arguments against employing foreign workers in farms. The cheaper labor force is exactly why the US can grow more than just corn and soybeans and other low cost but highly mechanized crops. Hardly any American is going to accept pay that still keeps the farm in operation for the labor intensive crops that are also generally much higher value. If say 1 million farm workers are foreigners and they are no longer allowed to work, maybe only 50,000 jobs of those 1 million lost become American citizens. There certainly would be no large scale operations of tomatoes. Avocados, grapes, berries, etc.

  81. Adam great episode! You really should alternate podcast episodes between food related and serious matters. You’re take on serious and political matters is well thought out and very reasonable. I’m fact, every time you talk about non food topics I find I agree 99% of the time. It probably helps we are about the same age and both educated but you do not take extreme positions but rather one of more careful thought. Not ideological where everything has to fit the left or fight the right. You could really branch into this type of content in the future if you ever get tired of just food content— which, can you really do 50-100 food videos a year for the next 5-10 years? Anyways, I look forward to hearing your take on other important topics while I keep watching all your food videos in my lame attempt to try to be a reasonable cook! (I don’t watch any baking videos — I’m never going bake because I would get fat).

  82. Salt and parboil the let dry sounds like a fantastic solution! 20yrs ago in college I worked for two pizza shops and never did this but our pizzas where generally thicker so not a big deal if a little moisture comes out

  83. 11:04 InternetShaquille did a test taste in pre grated cheese and found it’s nearly the same as using non pre grated in some recipes. So it has its purpose though if aren’t melting the cheese the pre grated serves no purpose and you can taste the difference

  87. I like how you mentioned we should eat less meat. I rarely buy beef for home and get my beef when I go to restaurants. I try to eat more beans as well. Only meat I buy for home is chicken unless pork or beef is on big sale. I’ve also been eating more tofu and similar products (soya is a Mexican dried tofu like food).
    2
  88. Prickly pear (tuna) is delicious but it’s so many seeds that it’s sometimes not with the trouble. You can buy the juice in Mexico and it’s amazing Nopales...I’ve never seen anyone eat it raw. I’ll have to try it next time. Nopales go well with scrambled eggs — I don’t rinse the sticky substance from the nopales since rinsing takes away much of the favor. I just sauté the nopales then mix in eggs and you got a nice breakfast
    2
  89. Grocery store cooked rotisserie chicken is so underrated! It’s cheap (often a loss leader for the store), it’s already cooked, you can do so much with it, and you can make broth form the bones and leftover bits! Walmart near me sells them for $4 if they are cold — probably previous days rotisserie.

  90. I love Meyer lemons. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to have a slight dislike for anything too sour and regular lemons are too sour for me for a drink (still works good in small doses to add acid to tacos, fish, or other foods) . Myer lemons have a sweet taste with less sour than regular lemons

  101. 3:25 “elevated basics”. Never heard of it but I love it! As American American, I’m seeing Mexican food in the US going through “elevated basics”. Not all tacos or Mexican food needs to be low cost even if it’s good. There is so much more than Mexican food can be when someone does “evaded basics”. In Mexico you see it all — basics, elevated basics, fancy, modern, etc. but US historically was dominated by basics in Mexican food industry

  106. At a korean BBQ place I frequented until I moved, they would take left over side veggies and sauces and put them on the grill with rice and kimchi. This method of stir fry rice produced a 'burnt' crispy fried rice that was addicting!! Not sure why I never thought about just doing this at home.

  111.  @jonathanlochridge9462  I usually have corn bread from stores (fresh made) and restaurants, rarely dry. But when people make, yes, it's often dry! I never buy the pre made cornbread, only made onsite. A quick google search shows it's often dry if people over bake it or use the wrong flour.
    1
  112.  @jonathanlochridge9462  Whole foods and local grocery chain have bakeries and sell house made cornbread. Moist and delicious. I usually don't order it a restaurant and have only had it twice, both good. I did buy cornbread at a cheaper bakery once and it was DRY!

  114. Great argument about the Type of music dominant at a given time is influenced heavily by the dominant listening context of that time. I can say that as I listen to older music, my opinions of songs have changed as I’ve listened far more frequently with earbuds / headphones than through a speaker. One of the biggest changes for me is how much more I appreciate GREAT vocalist / singing. I’ve become a much bigger fan of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli because you can really pickup and feel the vibrato and other great elements of their singing that don’t pop as much on a speaker And I think hip hop with strong bass became popular in the late 90’s and after in part due to people listening more and more frequently with headphones

  115. While you ran your study in sauce sticking to pasta, the more often discussed matter is how the pasta water of Bronze cut makes for a starchier thicker sauce. That’s one the biggest selling points of bronze cut that you only mentioned as a side note. You might be a better to do that topic though it’s already common knowledge. But showing science behind it would be unique. Measuring how much more starch and if you can taste the difference in the sauce using bronze cut vs regular cut pasta water.

I can’t drink milk when it’s near the expectation date because if starts smelling funny and i get flashbacks to when I was a kid and drank some spoiled milk. But I haven’t noticed if my stomach is bothered more by milk near an expiration date.

  119.  @chadmann2724  Interesting. I'm going to see if I feel any different between drinking milk that's at least 1 week away from expiration vs milk near or just past it. My symptoms are mild though and erratic. Some days I feel it (4-5 bowel movements in a day and not very solid but no pain) and some days it's normal (2 movements, solid). I should really try to compare the type of milk I buy and the expiration date to see if there is a pattern.

  120. 4:26 I love capitalism and it doesn’t great (nothing is perfect though). What I don’t like is the attitude of people that look down upon people who don’t want to become SUPER successful. I could make 50% more income if I went for it and I feel that’s the expectations people have of me but I know that 50% comes with far more pressure and far more time needed to invest in the job— but I want enjoy life, not work to just work of live. I hit the level where I’m comfortable for myself financially but where I’m getting the peak of what I’m willing to deal with in stress

  123. 43:20 “words acquire positive or negative connotations over time”. The word “molest” is a great example. In Spanish it still means the the same as it use to in English— “to bother or annoy”. Today, in English, it has a negative sexual connotation.

  127. 5:18 tavern style pizza is “Chicago thin pizza” and much more consumed than Chicago Deep Dish. It’s thicker NY style but thinner than a regular pan pizza such as they serve at Pizza Hut. Deep dish or Chicago stuffed are sort of a thicker version of pan pizza

  128. Adam, one of the biggest reasons I like your content (especially non food parts of your videos) is you are like me in your opinions and thoughts. You are what I describe as a practical progressive. Stick to facts, don’t be too ideological at the cost of obtaining a progressive goal, etc. I bring it up because your pause after you mentioned you wish they named the streets after some scientist who aren’t white men reminded me of your views that were discussed in more detail in the podcast

  129.  @MrAlbinoGhost that’s a great example. One other example I’m familiar is with YouTuber Nicki from Russia. The Russian invasion of Ukraine made him change his channel and now he lives abroad. He now does a mix of his travel and at least a monthly video on Russia and the war — often showing how the Russian state media is covering the war.

  147.  @mars7304  I think you 100% hit the nail on the head. I often feel like I really understand a situation but can't put it in writing -- then you wrote exactly what I was trying to convey. There are few things in science that are near 100% true. There are often conditions (under these conditions...) or a probability that isn't 100%. if something is believed to be true with 95% certain, I'm going to with that. But if it weren't for the right wingers going crazy, I would keep in mind that it's 95% certain and not 100% leaving room for some minor doubt. When one side starts acting dishonestly and hunkers down on positions that would be the minority (the 5% instead of the 95% ), it causes the other side to also dig in more than they otherwise would have. It's a whole mess that goes well beyond just science. It affects so much of politics. Just 'facts' about anything. This is where people spreading conspiracy theories come from. It's the idea that the facts don't matter but you will believe what you want to believe. So something non-science related, let's say Trump did X and there is 90% certainty he did it and Biden did Y but only 10% certainty he did that. Many right wingers will assume Trump is innocent of X because of that 10% possibility (they wont' even consider there's a chance he's guilty) and will assume Biden is guilty despite 90% chance he's not. Same is happening with vaccines. There is that tiny chance that something bad might happen and they decide that the tiny change of that bad things means that vaccines don't work and are dangerous. I honestly don't know if things will ever improve. The more that the right goes to the right and becomes ideological, the more the left is doing it as well. I get called right winger by the far left and I get called a socialist by the right wing. In reality, I'm very progressive socially and moderate left fiscally. I use to be very left fiscally but then went and got my MBA and had time in the work environment and started to realize my economic beliefs before we mostly based on wishful thinking. I became moderate to even moderate right on fiscal issues -- but the right went insane in the past 10 years and either I shifted more left as a response or I stayed the same but the moderate right moved to my right. Or both. My point being is that I was more flexible and now I feel I'm hunkering down on positions that should have more flexibility.

Please do a podcast or video going more in detail of religious history. 🙏 PLEASE!

  157.  @tawnyflower-in5yy I think Chinese broccoli is somewhat popular in southern or SE China where many US Chinese immigrants came from…but Chinese broccoli is only remotely similar to broccoli and was hard to get in the US a century ago so they used “regular” broccoli instead.

  158.  @1337hacks Chinese broccoli is only remotely similar to broccoli. It’s leafy and thus sometimes called Chinese kale. They have a little similarity in taste but Chinese broccoli being leafy makes it superior for stir fry and changes the meal a lot as a result.

  159. Adam, on the left vs right being too simplistic, I agree. Listening to your podcast and videos, I think me and you are extremely similar. Left but not ideological. I think we do have opinions that are generally for a better community and world rather than for a better “us” or “me”. But being practical, it means we aren’t tied down to using only solutions that are considered left nor do we feel we have to be excessive in addressing an issue for global or community good…we still value some “me”. The food waste is an interesting one. Part one on eating the cake, I’m probably more hedonistic when I think about food going to waste that I bought. I’m more concerned about how it will get me sick and I also care that spent money on it. On part 2 with produce shape, it doesn’t matter at all to me the shape and I will buy oddly snapped produce. On part 3 with being offered a big plate of food, I’m again altruistic and don’t want to see the food go to waste and might overeat.

  165.  @jacewhite8540  "However that does not discredit how he effectively exposes that absolute corruption and unethical practices of big fossil fuel companies. " But it becomes less believable that his exposing of corruption and unethical practices are exactly as he describes it. Thats why I can't stand him. he gets 90% of it right but then makes some large assumptions or flat out ignores relevant information to fill in the final 10%. One can still learn from that youtube channel but it will NEVER change minds -- it's preaching to the choir. But i'll check out it on occasion to pick up some facts that I can verify myself afterwards. In comparison, I love NPR and PBS. I fully trust (as much as one can for any source) what they say because they will give all sides and when I have fact checked it elsewhere, their facts always hold. Preachy sources are just preaching to the choir. More balanced sources are the ones that change minds. I can see an argument that both are useful. The preachy sources that are still mostly factually correct (just ignore context or other information) can be good tool to learn more pieces of information about a topic -- just take it with some precaution and don't preach what you learned there unless you have verified elsewhere. I consumer the occasional moderate right news, often economic and financial news sources. It's a good source of information but I also have to verify any major information elsewhere.
