I think why we Filipinos gravitate to the American and local versions is because of the limited access to imported cheese. Those are very expensive and would prefer the usual budget variants. We have this notion that pasta dishes are never simple but strangely authentic Italian cooking is the complete opposite tho they use rich but fewer ingredients.

Actually the Filipino "Carbonara" is for all intents and purposes a localised version of the "Pasta Boscaiola" as it involves practically the same ingredients. ie. Bacon, Mushroom, Onions and Cream. The recipe just subs in Ham instead of Bacon as its a bit easier to source Ham over Bacon. My theory is that Filipinos probably equated "white sauce" pasta to "carbonara" which ended up mislabelling the Boscaiola as a Carbonara!

That is not an italian carbonara. What he claimed to be guanciale doesn't even have 10% of the fat that is supposed to be in a guanciale slice (moreover it's too soft to be the cheek, it's simply a seasoned pancetta which is bacon in the end). Moreover he says "Parmigiano, Gran Pnado (lol) or some Pecorino sometimes is acceptable" that's a no. Pecorino needs to be in the carbonara, 100% or 50-50 with Parmigiano/Grana Padano. And yeah, Italian food police exists because otherwise Americans would already have claimed pizza as an American invention, causing a huge damage to our economy and our culture (since literally our culture and economy is based on export and food based tourism). And also he uses a shit pasta, you can see it's smooth just like Barilla (which is a shit brand for us italians).

I think it also has something to do with the order on what they ate…like if they ate the Italian carbonara first they’ll taste the saltiness of the guanciale and parmigiano cheese. Then if they’ll eat the Filipino or American version after the Italian, it’ll taste better to them because the creaminess cuts the saltiness of the Italian version.

In Brazil this is made just like the italian one but not with the guanchale but bacon. Probably because we don't have or is not easy to find that ingredient. But I'm from the south of Brazil that had Italian colonies and has a lot of italian and german descendents so is also because of that is so close to the italian one. It was very good seeing how other country makes this dish. Ps: sorry for my english

With the Italian carbonara, you should've used part of the fat rendered from the guanciale and added it to your sauce. Also, the product looked quite dry. Since you only used egg yolks instead of whole eggs, you should've added more yolk. Also, you should've added pasta water to thin it down and make it "creamy". Lastly, your choice of cheese should've been pecorino romano rather than parmigiano reggiano or grana padano. I agree that each of these pasta dishes will have its own market. If you're used to eating sweet dishes and the only cheese you've really had is processed and mozarella, it's highly likely you're going to prefer the Filipino pasta. If you like bacon and want things extra creamy, you're going to prefer the American pasta. And if you like natural, balanced and layered flavors and have sampled various real cheeses, then you'll want the authentic Italian carbonara.

They should drink water in between to rinse off because the taste of the previous one still remains (residual taste) some time after they've eaten it. But most probably, for those that have eaten the authentic Italian Carbonara, the Italian would win. Otherwise, either Filipino or American would win because of cheesiness or creaminess.

It’s just like Pinoy version of spaghetti we like it sweet and also in carbonara we like it creamy and savory. It’s not og and legit, but we love our version.

Same as our adobo. Not only with taste preference but also with ingridients availability.

I really like carbonara , I made my first carbonara Pasta & I followed the Italian recipe , easy & less ingredients! It’s taste sooo good! Thank you I’ll try the Filipino , American recipe next time .

I always have a pet peeve when it comes to blind folded taste test like this. Like, where is the palate cleanser, did they even drink water in between tasting the 3 dishes???

well until a year ago, I've only knowned the "american" version. In most cases here, it's actually served with alfredo sauce... while I would still eat it, there's no way I would pay 20$ for it, since covid I had a lot of time to practice it and to be honest, it's much better the traditional way when you have the proper technique and ingrediants. from what I understand, each cook will have a different taste. the traditional/old fashined way is to use the full egg, but many with use egg yolk only and just that, will greatly change the taste/texture. even the way you cook the guanciale will change the taste. also... guanciale is super salty, so many chef use less salt in water since you need it as starchy water (not clear water) to emulsify the sauce. you're not supposed to remove the fat, the sauce is the emulsion of the fat, the cheese dans the starchy water. lastly, the original recipe use pecorino or at least 50% pecorino 50% parmesan if for you it taste too strong. it was nice seeing the blindfolded comparison though.

What is the name of the restaurant

Filipino heritage, but was shown how to make Pasta Carbonara some what close to the Italian way. I was taught to cook "carbonara" by rendering chopped smoked pork belly. If not available, just pork belly, salt it, rendering the fat. The excess fat is then removed. Do not salt the pasta. The pork and the cheese will be carrying the salt flavour. Cooked the same way as the 1st one. No cream. But as soon as pasta is done, it will be dropped in the pan with the cooked pork, add lots of grated parmesan cheese. Add about 3 table spoon water from the pasta (or eye ball it. Lol) Just enough for it to be smooth. Put the egg yolks, pierce so it flows on the pasta, then toss / mix.

Lovin teh conclusion of this vid aaaaa

The egg and cheese slurry becomes like a scrambled egg because those who cook the carbonara forgets to turn off the stove and allow the residual heat from the meat and the cooked pasta to cook the slurry gently into a sort of a creamy consistency while adding some pasta water until there is enough egg cream to coat all of the pasta. Incorporating the egg slurry while the stove is turned on creates more heat necessary that turns the slurry into like scrammbled eggs.

would be nice to see the histories of them like why they're made that way

fair! really depends on the preference

Defend who is cooking

technically you don't need to salt your pasta water as pecorino and guanciale are already very salty. I usually would use parmesan here to reduce the saltiness of the sauce. 60:40 pecorino to parmesan ratio works best for me. But kudos for trying to use Luciano Monosilio's technique(the king of carbonara). Obviously this is sponsored and I like Ideal too, but the best pasta for carbonara are bronze die pastas which are starchy and it's pasta water emulsifies very well with the sauce making it thick and creamy.

Well, in different places around the world, we only use what ingredients are within our reach. So no nation/race should be offended by that. If you're an Italian here in ph and want to cook carbonara but you can't get the authentic ingredients, you might probably use other substitutes too. And also cooking is not limited to a single way of preparing a dish. Every household in every nation will have a different way to cook it. 😊😊😊 Or you can just say that it is an inspired dish.

Most Italian dishes are approached traditionally, if its simply done differently it becomes a different dish entirely. Its an art they've honed for years and years. Its not a matter of availability. Imagine Etag by the Igorots, if you only have fish available, is it as authentic if you substitute it as pork? Nope, it becomes an entirely different dish.

I think their biggest issue is with non-Italians making their own version, using completely different ingredients, and calling it the name of the original dish when it barely has anything in common. The Filipino and American versions are closer to alfredo than carbonara. It's like how people here have tried passing off ground meat wraps as shawarma when they make them taste like American tacos. It's just not the same dish anymore. They're more open to fusion like kimchi carbonara or other variants like truffle carbonara because they keep the process and ingredients more or less the same.

if you don't have the right ingredients then don't call it by its traditional name..... plain and simple....

Yeah you know, people from different places in the world and different upbringing have different palates, so although I'm guilty of getting mad when people call change traditional dishes claiming they're still traditional, it didn't happen here, and he gave MANY disclaimers and after that everyone eats what they want

Fun video! Especially when it was the turn of the Filipino style carbonara. Lol!

Yes, the right way is to cook the egg in carbonara, it's like making hollandaise sauce. I like that technique.

There is a reason - people who know the traditional taste of carbonara (Italians don't like garlic very much, they expect minimal ingredients and pasta is always "al dente" or not overcooked); all other are open minded, however, you find in Italy pasta alla boscaiola and funghi prosciutto e panna that probably taste like the Filipino and American carbonara versions. Today I shall eat carbonara alla salsiccia (pasta with sausage and onion carbonara) the name is different... the taste also. Buon appetito!

Must try carbonara sa aldongs 👏🏼💖

Since Pecorino and Guanciale is not available in stores here in the philippines I can only make sauce using egg,cheap parmesan and grilled pork chops instead. Maybe adding salt will have difference.

Säntis and EuroRich have guanciale and pecorino now.

BRO, IF THE FOOD IS FIRE AND I LIKE IT I DONT CARE IF ITS AUTHENTIC OR NOT. GOOD FOOD IS GOOD FOOD

I have a hypothesis about the cream and that is the cream is a miss in translation when the carbonara dish was brought to non-Italian audiences who associate the creamy texture with cream and since a lot of these new audience came from the US where they can spend more on food compared to their Italian counterparts. That and cream is much easier to work with compared to egg yolks that can cook and lose their emulsifying properties much easier than cream does. I don't have any source to back this up tho :p

I combine all the selective ingredients from all three. We all just have preferences.

It looks all 😋 for me.

hahahaha i love all the pa-disclaimer Erwan!

I’d used pancetta for carbonara as it gives more flavors also that’s what most restaurants and roman home cuisines uses here in italy they also use sheep shredded cheese (pecorino romano) also would add black pepper to it to perfection roman carbonara👌🏽 Although your version is alright :)

Food is subjective, but to Italians, it's either perfection or a personal attack

good video, my only questions is, why at the end are you using a spoon to eat noodles????

For the italian the meat looks like a pancetta(pork belly) than guanciale(pork jowl). Guanciale tastes different because of juniper berries taste. For the cheese its ok to mix with grana padano but should be mixed two parts with pecorino romano dop. The pecorino romano dop makes a big difference. The pasta also would taste different if you would use high quality semolina like la molisana, de cecco, rummo. The flavor profile of real italian carbonara comes from guanciale, pecorino romano dop and pasta made from high quality semolina.

@@featrmedia no it was not, if they sold it to you as guanciale then you got scammed

i like saltiness in my carbonara so i thinj i'd prefer the anerican when it comes to spag i really like pinoy spag especially if you use significant portion of ground pork (80% lean) and spag sauce which has that combination of sourness and sweetness ( i loke ufc spag sauce the most) then hotdog and cheese. i think this will have lots of calories because i use 80% lean so that the pork flavor will really come out but if there'so much oil on the sauce surface you can use spoon to minimize the oil. anyway so far this is is the best tastinh out of all the Filipino version spag i tried. i don't finf it too flavorful but not also bland and not also too sweet. it's just right on my mouth. 😍

"Or some pecorino sometimes is acceptable"? They usually use pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano for authentic Italian carbonara

I hope Erwan regains his confidence. Literally almost all his videos have the disclaimer that he will be bashed / he was bashed / before you comment. Its sad. The content of the channel is really is good!

I freaking love your channel. And I prefer the American version lmaoo

I used to eat the carbonara at our school canteen and i used to eat that meal every lunch.

guanciale and pecorino are very expensive here in the Ph. sometimes if i have the budget, i do follow the authentic recipe and enjoy the authentic carbonara. but in a normal day where you can only select what’s left in your fridge, i would definitely use bacon, our local queso or eden cheese and cream (yes i use cream because our local cheese clumps badly with egg yolks) - it’s just that i wouldn’t dare to call it a carbonara, i simply call it a bacon and cream pasta or even name the recipe after me lol. to each of his own!

I wish you guys call it something else instead of carbonora

did watch the whole video .and read the comments afterward .that last statement though at the end clearly explains the stiff fact about the dish and still some of the comments on the comment section contains argument about the dish . original is the only thing you can call the name legally . and then altered due to the likes of your taste .

Oh, that looks more like a pancetta than guanciale tho? Pecorino romano dabest for Roman pasta 😋

i would like to try authentic italian carbonara.

First time i tried cooking the italian version it was a bit dry because it was just the eggs! I had to add the usual Nestle cream oh well

It would be interesting to repeat the test using proper technique to make the Italian style. You need to get the emulsion with the cheese and egg right; it needs to be done by adding the cheese to the egg/yolks before cooking.

Italian all the way! But the others are enjoyable too
