Why isn't it just called fried eggplant/aubergine/🍆 and chips with cashew sauce? Ed. Also I'm not sure whether Ben saying he can't tell the difference between battered fish and battered banana blossom reflects terribly well on him as a chef. I'm sure it tastes excellent, but I'm also sure it doesn't taste like fish, mainly because it isn't fish and is instead banana blossom. Ed the 2nd: I'd like to see you make vegan ham next please.

When I worked in a restaurant (Non-Vegan restaurant) the head chef along with my self were vegan, and to get the best out of the banana blossom we would brine them first overnight in nori, capers, salt, white vinegar or apple cider to give that sort of "Fishy/ocean" taste before they were battered and deep-fried (batter was just a basic beer batter using a vegan beer like Stella Artois). The dish was served with chips, mushy peas, grilled lemon and a vegan tar-tar sauce using vegan mayo as the base (Hellmans works really well). Love the channel BTW.

I think they wrapped it in seaweed before the batter dip to get a bit more of a fishy flavour.

A little hack if you want to make fizzy jelly for a trifle: Cut the jelly up into the blocks and put into a glass jug or bowl. Add a couple of teaspoons of water and microwave until just melted. Allow to cool off. Once cool, but before it starts to set add either tonic water, soda water, fizzy prosecco or cider (whatever fizzy liquid that takes your fancy really but it has to be very cold) up to the required amount on the packet. Transfer to the glasses or serving bowl and put in the bottom of the fridge to cool and set. The jelly will retain a lot of the fizz, giving it a tingly sensation on the tongue. I find it works best with citrus flavoured jellies like orange, lime or lemon. I even made a gin and tonic one with a lime jelly last time which would please Ben I imagine.

Here in south India, we cook banana blossoms all the time. They have a slightly bitter, Umami flavour. The canned ones you are using contain one whole flower I guess. We open up the flower, separate the individual florets and remove a hard, black vein like structure inside the florets and then chop it up and stir fry it. It's so fresh and flavourful.

We can all have some without it having to be a substitution or weirdly processed. I adore any of the veg recipes here, intentional or not! Good comment!

Testing vegan dishes idea: jackfruit “chicken” wings! They take a while to make but are so worth it - would be interesting to see how it turns out and if you improve the process 🤘🏼

Besides the great video, I can’t appreciate enough how much care and thoughtfulness you guys put in maintaining a safe environment during recordings. You guys set a great example to others and also show your respect towards other’s safety. I truly admire the dedication of the team.

The problem with vegetarian/vegan food in restaurants is, why do they cost the same as meat, or even more expensive? It doesn't make any sense and puts people off getting them instead of the standard meats. If you're trying to convince people that vegetables are more environmentally friendly and sustainable, then they shouldn't cost more. So, nobody orders them, and quality suffers too, because what's the point of making it nice if nobody buys it?

@GtsAntoni1

@@SennaAugustus it depends, generally vegetarian options I've had have been slightly cheaper. Vegan produce on the other hand, is often much more expensive as it's significantly harder to produce and can take significantly longer. Same goes for ethically produced foods. A good example being 'ethical' Foie Gras. However, there's a couple of points that could justify a more expensive vegetarian meal: 1) there are plenty of vegetarian ingredients that are significantly more expensive than meat products; Saffron, Truffles, Caciocavallo, Hop Shoots, Gold leaf, Matsutake etc. Hell, La bonotte potatoes cost a fortune, as do Ruby roman grapes. Many of the worlds most expensive foods / ingredients are at least vegetarian, if not vegan. 2) The ingredients may be ordered in smaller quantities, resulting in poorer economy of scale 3) When the vegetable is front and center, it needs to be of very good quality; often organic, special variety etc 4) Good quality vegetarian/vegan meals can require significantly more prep. Be it pickling, fermenting, or just more time/labour for the dish. If a meal is absolutely delicious, then I don't care whether it has meat in or not. And it could be justifiably more expensive. The problem is finding really delicious vegetarian meals. It's much more common these days, but they're still little more than a side note when visiting your local gastro pub etc. Oh, and imo you shouldn't need to be encouraged / incentivised to do the right thing. Who in their right mind doesn't want to look after the planet that sustains their very existence? 😉

I love that Ben asked “what’s it substituting” when James said that the cashews were substituting an egg. I feel like some carnivores get offended when people try to find vegan alternatives for popular items and dishes. What they don’t understand is that it’s not always that people are trying to imitate it because they crave the flavor. A lot of times it’s just because there are properties about certain foods(ei. Eggs as emulsifiers) that can easily be substituted for plants (like cashews)! I think it just shows that plant based cooking is a lot of times just about finding the right foods that share the properties of other animal alternatives and it’s not that confusing or difficult or bad tasting lol

In india particularly in West Bengal, Odisha, banana blossom is extremely popular. It is an incredibly versatile ingrédient- stirfried, curried, chopped, finely mixed with herbs, crumb coated and fried! Absolutely delicious! Even the tender banana stems called THHOR are used as a vegetable. In fact, two of the increasingly popular vegan, meat substitutes are Banana blossom and jackfruit- both very popular ingredients and both very versatile. And if wasn't already obvious, these are both personal favourites as well. I highly recommend trying them out, if you get thé chance. Also, batter fried aubergines are a much beloved snack not only at home served at tea time or even as a side with hot rice & dal but also served in eco -friendly woven leaf bowls as take-away snacks at fair grounds etc.

This is awesome!!! I’m excited to try out both. I’ve also heard of using heart of palms as well, I think I’ll try that if I can’t find banana blossoms. Thanks for the great recipe!

Sherlock Holmes Veganism is about reducing animal suffering and impact on the environment from animal consumption. Many vegans like the taste of meat, but can’t justify the moral side when there are many alternatives available (at least in most western developed countries) which can provide the same macronutrients that meat and other animal products can.

I'm American & can honestly say the soggy fries (chips) are rare here but delicious in a different way. If you're having a crispy fried, very crunchy fish, the soggy fries are almost like having a mushy self contained bite of mashed potatoes. Also because they can absorb so much liquid, if you're using Malt Vinegar then they take on a ton of that tanginess. I love all forms of potato though, so I say who cares what format, just get them on my plate (except poutine, Canada just no).

@BuckRodgers3

Its just a product of the way the FishnChips are sold they drop the fries into the bottom of a paper bag and put the fish on top so unless you take them out right away they start steaming. But its not a bad thing because they have retained their heat they still taste like fries but have a texture closer to mashed potatoes, with a couple dashes of malt vinegar or some tartar sauce they taste amazing.

Yes! South East Asian food represent! We usually eat banana blossoms cooked with coconut milk and pork, I haven't tried one fried like this and might just have to try it. I've never seen it canned because it's pretty common to see fresh ones here. Satisfied with Bennuendos. Exactly what I expected of Ben commenting on aubergines.

God I love this opening cinematic so much more then the current one, always made me feel like part of the team, makes ya feel warm on the inside.

Just ate banana blossom fish and chips yesterday for the first time, was delicious! Our recipe called for using Nori as a "skin" element along side the blossom under the batter and it gave it a nice sea taste as well. Would love more vegan/vegetarian vids!

In Singapore we have this packaged dried tofu skin, banana blossoms, vermicelli and dried wood ear fungus. You just cook it with soup and stock of your choice, eat it with rice. DELICIOUS. Sometimes, my mum puts in sliced beef or makes her own meatballs and add it into that soup - the banana blossoms are always my favourite thing in that soup and I’d save it for the last bite.

That batter with the banana blossom looked FANTASTIC!!! 😋😋😉

Challenge idea: difficult salad 10minutes, create a salad using the weirdest and non-intuitive ingredients seen on the show: century eggs, etc Create a balanced and nice salad from these weird tasting ingredients

Okay, but now after seeing this (which looks absolutely delicious) I want to do the same sort of prep work on some aubergines, only use Italian flavors, and then use them to do a meatless lasagna.

Love how James put the wasabi in the peas and then the nori with the aubergine, really clever!

Love love love the fact that you're doing more vegan dishes. Some cashew tips: - Soak them in cold water overnight for more creaminess and less cashew taste. - Leave them for several days in the fridge to get some cheesy funkiness. - Don't use the liquid you've soaked them in. It has a pretty strong cashew flavor. Rinse them and use fresh water. - Combine them with lemon juice and nutritional yeast flakes to get some more cheesy flavors.

I would just like to say I appreciate the fact that you guys are using regular vegetables as the meat substitutions. My mom is a vegetarian, but can't have soy, which often eliminates a lot of meat substitutes (as does my coconut allergy since many of them also have coconut oil). I'm glad to see that similar things can be accomplished by just using vegetables. Thank you.
