Uncle Roger HATE Great British Bake Off Mexican Week (ft. Joshua Weissman)

Im distressed by you calling consommé ..ju’. Hipster just found birra lol

This is the best video I’ve ever seen!

Man, makes me want to give your channel another shot. Seems a bit less pretentious then the stuff you did a few years ago.

@Josh - show us how to do it properly!

@Julia Wacker I don't know anyone who thinks Taco Bell is real Mexican. I've been to Mexico & I have had plenty of authentic Mexican food here in the south west. I'm in Colorado and we have huge hispanic populations with a lot of authentic Mexican food.

Hmm what about Taco Bell? That’s American I believe 😂

No way that statement isn't completely, 100% true. They're making my Mexican ancestors cry and I don't even have any!

@I Dont Know. To be fair to us, I don't think i've ever met a Latin American. Like ever. They just don't move to the UK. We can't be expected to know Latin American food if we don't have Latin Americans. Maybe you could start something here xD

@Julia Wacker It's a good thing then than most Americans don't think that Taco Bell and Olive Garden are "authentic" food, innit?

@Rudolf Hesspretty sure that stems from the slavery in America (at least partially) and how poc were oppressed, but that was so long ago. It was bad, 100%, but saying a joke doesn’t mean they wanna oppress people. I feel like some people, sadly especially those who really like to point out that they (more like their ancestors) were oppressed, forget that white people have been oppressed and been sold as slaves to poc. Hell, poc have had other poc as slaves. No one is a saint and all races has done some shit to other races or their own. With that logic we should either all be able to make jokes about race, or no one should be able to.

@vlada it's crazy how everyone can make jokes towards each other and against whites but whites cant say anything about other races

​@Goffe I thought the mustached guy was going to have an anxiety attack. It's nice to see how people are programmed into bring afraid what is permissible, very Pavlovian. And creepy.

I love how Nigel's smile got so big after that, too. I'm surprised they kept it in!

@The Possibilities Of Life El Fantasma Del Taco has a better ring to it imo

Bro just trademarked Mexican 💀

Heh, you must have seen buttloads of things that rendered your soul many times over.

the trademark-

i am almost a pale gamer white and even i knew that was not ok

se mamo jaja

No mames, wey

@pawel1208 I mean they aren't Mexicans lol but yeah I guessed they've had good Mexican food. Doesn't mean they are like the judges of people especially those across the pond who don't even know how to make mexican food.

@bloodrain Nigel and especially Joshua have most probably had good Mexican food before. I don't know whether their reactions were done for the sake of comedy or because of differences in age or life experiences between them and the contestants.

​@pawel1208 especially since uncle Roger or Weissman are mexican.

@Calum Yeah, spot on. 'tor-till-ers' :-) I've eaten amazing corn tacos, I've yet to find an authentic Mexican restaurant/takeaway here in the UK, which is such a crying shame b/c the cuisine is so varied. I once visited a Mexican restaurant, had high hopes, my stomach was soon heading for the exit as the waitress started bringing the food out which included spicy wedges straight from Iceland lol

Eh, it's not a super common cuisine here. There's no mexican fast food, and mexican restaurants are pretty rare. Mexico's an ocean away. Most brits have only really ever had an Old El Paso fajita kit, that's our exposure to mexican food. It's just not a very common cuisine outside North America I suppose.

@Mrs. H Do we even have British restaurants around Denver? I'm a bit further north, but have never in all my life seen a British restaurant around here.

@Joe Say random??!!? 3rd worl- can you not find it on a world map? Do you need 3in thick glasses????

@Michelle Barnhill if the mild salsa*

This video is so delightfully shady 😭😭😭 NO ONE IS SAFE FROM UNCLE ROGER AND UNCLE JOSHUA 🤣😂

Homie probably went to Cancún or Cabo

How do you have a Mexican week when you can't even spend 7 minutes to Google Mexican food?

That is downright scandalous! You shouldn't go to Mexico and then learn nothing about Mexican food culture, especially if you were world-renowned chef

@Wolfy11188 I'm not implying Brits as a whole are stupid, just pointing out that some of them were so far off on the words it's incredible. There's a big difference between saying an entire group of people is stupid and pointing out a handful of people are just not trying at all.

@Shane G This just felt like a long winded attempt at saying Brits are stupid. Considering how Americans have constantly changed the spelling and pronunciation of countless words it really wouldn't surprise me if it's Americas fault at this point. You also say they've undoubtedly heard it before but Mexican food is no where near as popular here as it is in America. I think it's in the top 3 foods there but here it's not even in the top 20, the same for all of Europe as well. How many countless foods could I name that you and half of Americans haven't heard of?

@Wolfy11188 As an American I can tell you Worcestershire is easier to say than spell. If you hear it once, it's simple. These people have undoubtedly heard Taco said correctly and still say it wrong. The degree to which some of these people way over complicate the way they say things like guacamole, it's no wonder a simple to say word ends up being spelled like Worcestershire. Brits are clearly overthinking things so hard they go full circle back to not thinking.

@Mr. Seemingly Expected I know, I was merely poking fun at the British cooks.

​@Joey Broadway 😂 fckd up my amygdala too when i read it.😂

Top 10 things that never happened

You said peel the guacamole that is really dumb

I can hear the voice Lmao.

😂

yo, same. It lets me have the soap taste without harming me by eating,, well, soap.

Lmfao 😂

Based

How’s your family in the Philippines?

@Leon Russell bro is living in the Cretaceous period 🗿💀🗿💀

@Leon Russell Then you’d be surprised at the amount of pure Asian people living in Mexico that can speak pitch, tone and accent-perfect Spanish

@Andy Carlton you lie

Ufffff Carne al Pastor is a winner!! And if it was cooked with Piña, that's heaven I tell you

@Special J Al pastor and chorizo are but carne asada? Not really. Same goes for lengua or pollo, although once we get into pork then complexity shoots back up again (we Mexicans love to be complex as hell when it comes to pork).

However those "meats" are complex. Also....Britain has had next to no contact with Mexico or Mexicans, the conversation (and laughs) would be had the other way if the show was in America with "Pakistani week".

​@Taylor Usually once you add cheese it's considered a different product. Not lesser, but different.

And cheese! Oaxaca is so good

Tío Rogelio

El Tío Rogelio

😂😂 man when you need a break from life sometimes TRvid just does it with the comments 😂

Look at me Hector

@Rylee Pineapple music but is it as bad as Rachel Rays pozole? Cutest last name ever if I may say so

@Lisa Spikes Mexican food is incredibly popular everywhere, it's amazing did with vibrant fresh l flavours. There just isn't enough Mexican people in other countries opening restaurants ☹️

@Sean Demers What are you talking about? I said nothing about Mexican food being bad. In fact, it’s one of my favorites! Are you just spewing hatred, or are you unable to read?

@Edward Fletcher Of course it did. I was pointing out that I was unaware that Mexican food was not popular in England. As I said, it is so prolific here in the USA, that it’s as common as, say, potatoes. For me, it’s like the cooks were given a pile of potatoes to make something with, and they all said “oh! A potato! I’ve heard about these, but I’ve never actually eaten one!” You all are ready to jump down anyone’s throat, aren’t you? For imagined offenses. Damn.

@Wolfy11188 for Yanks US is the whole world. No wonder they call themselves champions at the sport they are the only ones to play 😂

@sreekar Tex-Mex is extreamly common in Norway, and I'm therfore guessing large parts of mainland Europe as well.

​@Sundriedmandarins you didn't need to specify Mexican for flavors. British food got none, despite colonizing most of the countries that produced spices.

@Secret Siren I'm referring to pasties, which are small pastry pockets typically filled with beef & veggies. These originated in Cornwall, England.

@sundriedmandarins pastries are French, English food like fish and chips, beef Wellington stuff like that

@Secret Siren Mexico actually does have British food lol. The state where my family is from had a huge English migration which is why today we eat pasties, except we fill them with Mexican flavors.

@Hannah Giza the UK is more multicultural from a Europe/Asia perspective. People in the UK will know more about Polish/German/Italian/Indian/Chinese/Japanese food than Mexican- there's not that many Mexican immigrants here.

Thank you tio

It's supposed to be comedians and actors baking for the first time...

As a Texas Mexican (I'm from a Mexican family and I was born and raised in Texas ) I can confrim my ancestors cried from this

@James T Kruk It's a crying shame you lads don't have more Mexican food culture integrated into British culture, there is nothing like a nice loaded plate or tacos from a local food truck in the middle of a word day.

@Women In History Gosh, cry about it. Glad to know you don't have real problems in your life.

@Jose Lopez Thank you for being chill and not a Karen like everyone else here seems to be. And then they wonder why people choose to stay away from other cultures. Like bro, no one wants to get yelled at all the time for not knowing everything. Smartasses. 🙄

As a serb who loves making her own tacos and guacamole I was cringing the whole time. Idk what was worse the technique used or the pronunciation of stuff. But dare you mispronounce something in English in front of them you'll get shredded.

I lost my shit when she said this is what refried beans looks like I was literally yelling at my tv and my wife was laughing at me

Lmao Nigel fr

🤣🤣🤣 right

Got something for you....💐 💐..

I cringed so hard watching that episode and I’m not anywhere close to being Mexican. Apparently closer than those poor Brits tho.

@miss mary whats wrong with that

I don't know what BBC was thinking when they prepared this episode. It's not that there are many restaurants in entire Europe that serve authentic Mexican food, I guess most of the contestants never even tried Mexican food and simply don't know what to do. English cooking doesn't have a good reputation anyway, but it seems they want to keep it that way.

Oh you dont like Gyokimojo ?

@ZoeAlleyne this is the issue 😭 they aren't cooks they are BAKERS I'm not surprised at how bad they all did LOL

When you start adding Asian spices to Mexican food it just becomes Filipino with extra steps

@Cyrus Stark I love ant eggs, shrimp paste etc. especially if you know people from Yucatán lol that’s like their daily food when it comes to seafood. I married a super white guy from Georgia and he loves eating Mexican food. I’ve crossed him over for months to visit family and try food. He is obsessed with tejuino, chapulines, tortitas de camaron, and basically everything. Lol like people just think of Mexican food as tacos and tortas and asada and done. My husband was like omg I did not know fermented pineapple tepache was a thing and tastes so good. Yup it’s endless. He still has not tried even 1/4 and neither have I.

@sara c Oh just wait until you mention ant eggs. I love food from different cultures, and there are certain things that scare white people, shrimp paste, ant eggs, and asafetida are some of those things. Haha

@Lisa Spikes nope those are definitely used in Mexico 😂.

@Cyrus Stark thank you!!!! Finally someone that understands gastronomia de Mexico. Cumin is seriously used a lot. Just because you cannot taste it does not mean it is not there. Anise is used especially in Mexico City for Jellos (my dads uncle was very well known for all of his jellos and sold mostly anise ones ) birria, has cumin ginger laurel etc. we definitely toast chiles and fry them when the food calls for it. People love to claim they know Mexican food but ignorance is bliss and the cuisine in Mexico is the most diverse in the world. It is known that you would not repeat a dish in over a year because each pueblo each city each state has a different way to prepare the food. Pozole is so diverse even with just the type of meat and some add vegetables. I myself grew up with just the maiz, patas de puerco, y carne de puerco, topping are lettuce salsa roja y rabanos. Most use cabbage but lettuce is my preference. Menudo in Jalisco from cuidad Guzman is white with no maiz and just the lining. But in the USA is mostly thought of as just the red Juanitas menudo in the can more of the northern style. Quesadillas in Jalisco come with cheese but in Mexico City it does not come with cheese. Lol. But people lack knowledge of the history of it. So there is no way for Mexico to use cumin. That is blasphemy! What are we Indian and middle eastern?? How dare we have even though tacos Al pastor are basically an influence of Kebab lol

But what if it's gonna get eaten an hour later?

@Itscpends No lol, you seem completely unaware that this is what all cultures do. The British nativise Spanish words heavily true, but only in the same way Americans do with many French words. It's just about the influence of the respective cultures and obviously America has a much larger Spanish influence than the UK. It's not some imaginary malice on the Brits part lmao

@BDavis tacos was the technical.

👏 I can't believe that he agreed to have then open with tacos. I didn't see the episode but there are so many baked goods they could have gone with.

@slickspeedy really, how do they pronounce "Beaulieu"? It a place in England and they pronounce it "byoo-lee". No.

And know the difference between a taco and a tortilla

Are you implying that all the people on this show are English, because I heard at least one Scottish accent!

People are taking this too serious

@Good Guy Konrad dont know if you ever would but if you somehow someday end up in America, Los Angeles to be exact, go to a resteraunt called El Barco for authentic mexican cuisine, or an alternative go to a resteraunt called The Nest in Downey and get theyre chilaquiles (though its not authentic mexican chilaquiles, as a mexican myself I give it the stamp of aproval)

If you're looking for a replacement for queso fresco, look for paneer. If you want a replacement for cotija, many dry crumbly cheeses, especially many Italian varieties (pecorino, parmesano etc) can be suitable substitutes.

Fetas texture completely wrong though, you could sub it with pecorino cheese

When you eat a real taco I promise you will understand why we look at feta with horror

@Of Wolf & Man The bots really have taken over. :( It keeps getting worse.

These replies are raided by bots

Frr

Here is the full Clip : when I met uncle roger trvid.com/video/video-mCfYi7634rU.html

It is not hard to understand any food if you choose to do it right. Use the right tools, and use the right ingredients, then try to use the right techniques to the best of your ability. You can not make a stir fry with a slow cooker, and you can not make BBQ with a wok under normal conditions.

@Jonathan Davis I am aware how Texas is like lol. Dad lived there all my life but he's never had authentic Mexican food just tex mex

@Teryn B Texas is dominantly Mexican dude. It’s right up his alley

@RabidDogma Is that true? I follow a lot of Italian chefs (whose audience is other Italians) and they seem to use cheese a lot. So many cheese varieties are from Italy, it’d be strange if it’s uncommonly used in cooking!

@RabidDogma great point

I was like "oh maybe they'll do conchas or sopapillas or flan" Why in the world would you ever do tacos on a show about baking? There's almost no overlapping skills between cooking tacos and baking.

Made me put my foot down and say dios mio!

.... Peel an avacado like a ginger??? I... How??

I'm 1/4 Mexican. Grandfather on my mother's side. He used to make the most amazing food every time we went over there. This video hurt.

@Bread 🤣🤣🤣

i can hear my grandmother yelling

Oh God…what was it like?

I don't even wanna know 🤢😫

Its like rush hour dynamic duo.

Exactly

Accurate

This made me love my Mexican neighbors even more! Love from Oklahoma!

Recently saw a video on how avocados evolved to be consumed by giant sloths. This lady made giant sloths cry as well.

Im mexican and this make my indigenous ansestors cry

@Bebe Aquino respect

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

@Mr T you failed English

Your abuela is hilarious 😂

Savage 😂

I love this comment
