Haha, I saw this thread bumped on here, and immediately knew why. What a horrific monstrosity.

It's like a clickhole video where they start with something fairly normal and just keep kicking it up a notch until it's ridiculous

i like how the fact that it’s a square video inside a square video made into a vertical widescreen reflects the nightmarish recursion of the recipe

I was somehow on board until they added the pizza ingredients
if someone served me a smaller version of the breaded and fried part as a snack at a party I’d have a few

It is pretty much that SNL Taco Town commercial.

Another thing is that this is the most unhealthy thing you could possibly eat AND YET the person responsible has used chicken breasts rather than thighs, which will make it dry and flavourless, then has drowned the meat in bbq sauce in order to make up for this, this isn't unique to this video but really wtf is the story with this stuff?

I think most reasonably sane meateaters would at least try it up until the pizzification, which is less excessive than stupid.

Seems like someone really likes cooking but really hates food. If I wasn’t vegan I would devour that though.
Exactly! Why would you devote a couple of hours to cooking, then make something that looks like it was scraped off a toilet at a Taco Bell?

Using pretty much all processed foods. I mean it's trash through and through, but why not spend an extra half hour or so and make your own BBQ sauce you lazy prick? Kraft's got enough of your money already, I'm sure.

I’ve just watched a Japanese version of this on tv here.
Take one paella pan, cover it in red pasta sauce, add one kilo of fried chicken, French fries , grilled zucchini, spaghetti and a hollowed our loaf of bread containing cheese fondue.

a couple of threads prompted by the annual NYT piece on how shitty durian is (now with added mangosteen and rambutan!):
In international journalism, I am willing to say the single most tired Southeast Asian reporting cliche is that of DURIAN, THE FREAK SHOW FRUIT. In this @nytimes piece, “occasional disappointment” turns out to be a meta remark about the article, not the fruit. Thread: pic.twitter.com/60ZY1kBDCL— Amirul Ruslan (@amirulruslan) June 25, 2020
The recent @nytimes "article" slagging SE Asian fruit — starring the durian — is especially bewildering because it's not new. They does it so often, even other foreign correspondents joked "the biennial durian piece has dropped". I used my NYT sub to find out how true that is. pic.twitter.com/OKsuTdfBDb— Amirul Ruslan (@amirulruslan) June 26, 2020
lol:
Writing about US food the way the NYT covers Asian fruit: In a nation torn by racial conflict, one unlikely food unites. To those accustomed to chopsticks, the greasy parcel known as a 'burger', a sort of split bao, is crude and messy. Yet it encapsulates a nation's violent past.— Soon-Tzu Speechley 孫子 (@speechleyish) June 25, 2020

Last year there was one about 'the soul of the nation bound up in the flavors of the durian... acrid and off-putting to the naive and foreign, but rich and rewarding for the (journalist), the educated, and the noble native." Always reminds me of the schoolbus bit in Altman's 'Nashville.'

I love durian and this is totally tangentially related but last weekend I bought a (frozen, but pricy) jackfruit and holy shit it was a fucking chore to uh... dissemble/extract. I was youtubing hacks and it still took the better part of 90 minutes.
Recommended if you have a passion for extracting pomegranate and pomelo fruit I guess?

mangosteen and rambutan are some of the tastiest shit ever. still have not found a way to enjoy durian. this has been kevin k from white man reports, ILX. signing off
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 June 2020 15:34 (three years ago) link
i love all of these fruits, but i was raised by people who were into food culture and am married to someone with a broad knowledge of Asian cuisine (he's Chinese), so i am always baffled by these articles, and also baffled by how insular and boring most Americans' tastes are.
