I was as distressed watching this as the lady in the pink shirt. Thanks again for having me Uncle Roger. Can’t wait to see you soon, this time behind the chefs counter 😈
Fuiyoh see you next week uncle Joshua! 🧡
Ye mean new encounter
Love how y'all skipped the meat coated in spice and the Spanish guy who knew what part of pico de Gallo meant
Love seeing you guys together. And you look extra handsome today Joshua 🥰
Havent watched great british bake off for ages lmao, i see it has really changed 💀
Showed my mom this video, she laughed at the woman peeling the guacamole and said "ayy que pendeja" then she got mad and hit me. The true Mexican experience.
Peel the guacamole? xD
I'm from Eastern Europe and when I showed this to my mom she asked whether these people are mentally ill or something...
Hahahah
Assuming she hit you with the slipper
I'm German, we liked to call a dude in our friend group El pendejo, dude had no clue what it means 😂
Uncle Roger went from defending Asian culture to just any culture the British try to touch
Fr
Complaining about racism whilst being racist. Nice
@@natureboy4397 Tbf the British historically have been infamous for fking up other countries culture
TBH it looks like a Mexican food restaurant would be very popular in Britain...if the hot sauce didn't kill them.
@don't be surprised ⁰⁰⁰⁰ⁿ
I’m Mexican. I teared up bit, not in a good way. I can hear my Abuelita screaming in rage from beyond the grave since they started those tortillas. My mama is flinging her chanclas at the screen after looking at those beans. My papa snapped his belt in half after seeing that raw ass steak. The very soul of Mexican food is weeping bloody tears. The British invaded every corner of the world and decided that “no, we don’t like flavor. We’ll ruin every foreign dish we touch.”
All of this is true!😂
Todo México llora al ver esto, de risa y de tristeza al mismo tiempo!
lo que más me preocupa es que los tacos de los jueces ni siquiera eran tacos...
you're right about them hating flavor lol. I once saw a video where a couple made some dish and only used black pepper to season it, the woman started coughing when she tried it and she said "oh wow that has quite a kick innit?" 😂
Conquer 1/4 of the world for spices. Hate any and all flavour in your food.
I’m British, and in the beginning I used to deny that we cooked like this, but as I’ve watched more and more videos like this, I’m realising that most of us really are terrible at cooking
This what you get when the British government overdid their food rationing from 1939 to _1954_ . That essentially wiped out British culinary arts until the middle 1990's, when the final UK laws based on food rationing finally ended.
There is a reason most british people prefer to eat indian curry, at least indian restaurants discovered spices exist
@@Corgiiiiiii Even those pie and mash places?
Glockymolo is absolutely insane 😂

As a Mexican all I can say is thanks for the revenge Tio Roger

Or do, and start a new trend of real delicious Mexican food.

Yeah. At least America gets it right (especially if you live in the southernmost parts of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California)
@@brandonriddle4381 👏 Yes I've actually thought about that when I hear/see some of the things they are eating. 🤣

As a Mexican, thank you Tio Roger for defending our culture and saying something
The Tio Rogelio always has our backs
@@LS-yu3or 🤣🤣🤣
SIGH!!!! As a white guy who grew up in San Antonio, I feel you, but for Pete's sake, these are British bakers, and likely don't have access to Mexican food. Give people a break, and they might give you one back.
@@MichaelMartin-eh6wl No excuse to be this ignorant in a world with the internet and social media and shows/movies, even a dead chimp could understand better what goes in a taco than these people lol
@@MichaelMartin-eh6wl lol bro, ur most likely to get a bunch of semi-angry replies to that comment, so its my friendly advice to delete it before somebody comes for your throat
Josh breaking the act and calling Nigel by his actual name was the funniest shit.
Well yes..... but since he's white he's not allowed to make jokes about race. It could end his career. Nigel and Trevor Noah both do and with quite a lot of taste and little or no mean spirit. Even as a middle-aged white guy who don't make jokes about race I enjoy it when those who can do.
Emotional Damage
@@goffe2282 You should search Harry from the Sidemen ;p
As a full-blooded Mexican I thank you both for this video 😂 It had me laughing so damn hard lmao from Chef to Chef thank you for the amount of respect you both show to the food and all the different cultures.❤
I'm not even Mexican, but watching how the lady cut the avocado made me and my ancestors cry (I'm Hispanic too)
I’m about as white as you can get and I still cringed. Its not hard to understand how to cut around a pit!
As a Mexican™ my soul left my body when I saw the avocado peeling. I died laughing. I'm dead now.
How did you type this then... You damned ghost! Edit:this is the most likes I have gotten
So does that mean we can call you “el taco ghost” (I’m not trying to offend anyone)
He come bacc to live when his friends bring him the authentic mexican taco, n revive him with that.. 😹😂
Also i agree, never ever i see people peel avocado peel/skin And this is the first time i see it.. My reactions are like "Uhh.. wait wut?" or "Wat the hecc" 😂
i am almost a pale gamer white and even i knew that was not ok
As a Mexican I've never felt so offended, the avocado pealing destroyed my patience
Same! I have never seen anyone peel an avocado that lady must have never seen or eaten one before😭
In some sort of a defence as a brit. We unfortunately don't have Mexican food in our country, avocados are quite new to the supermarkets here. I'm lucky I've been to the states and eaten Mexican. trust me I looked the biggest fool trying to order when you don't even know what the foods are. Unfortunate as I loved the food
@FyreFly08 then that defeats the point of the show.
@@fyrefly0872 no I don't watch TV I work and if I'm gonna watch something I'll stick on a Documentary. Also Why would I go looking at random country's food and culture that has no connection to me or my culture. We eat loads of Indian food here as we are intergrated like Americans and Mexicans are.I can tell you loads about Indian food and culture and there history because its what im around.Don't look to call people racist at the drop of a hat because there life involves different cultures to your own. Over 250 cultures on the planet we can't know them all.
@FyreFly08 Mexican culture and food is hardly known in Europe. You can't miss what you don't know. I'm from Germany and the most Mexican stuff available in stores is Corona beer, taco shells, tortilla chips in different flavors, artificial cheese dip and salsa that is most likely a steak sauce. Most German would guess chili con Carne is Mexican food.
10:45 Ohhhh. Uncle Joshua has three tortilla presses. I guess that makes him a Tortilla Press F*** Boi.
That episode of GBBO nearly made me smash my television, and I’m just a fan of Mexican food. I can’t even imagine what an actual citizen of Mexico felt watching that. Hilarious video, Uncle Roger! 😄
Homicidal feelings is what I felt
Asking British people to make anything with flavor is usually a challenge.
As a Mexican, when I first watched this episode of GBB, I wanted to rend my garments-everything was so bad from pronunciation to prep! So thank you for this takedown, Uncle Roger. It brought joy to my heart.
She might redirect her anger towards you
Here's full weejio: kzhead.info/sun/pJ1xlp2bgHiAl6c/bejne.html
Guacomolio
'Rend my garments'😂😂😂 what in the old testament and shakespear
Don’t click on the link above. It’s his own video, not the full video of the bake off
I can give most of the tacos a pass, half of them not knowing what Pico de gallllooo is. But the "refried beans" had me swooning and stroking out.
Texan here. I’ve made many jars of salsa, many bowls of pico, and a mountain of guacamole. Red onion is totally fine, preferred, really.
As a mexican i can tell that the most impressive thing about this video is the knowledge Uncle Roger has about our food.
As he mentioned twice, doing the research is important and you can tell he did.
He said salsa goes on the side of the taco lol and adding the masa to the already made one is actually common he didn't really know much tbh
@@dealerhealer3673he's not that wrong actually. Many places and restaurants serve pico de gallo, guacamole and salsas on the side. It also depends ofc on the city you live and the type of taco you order.
he must have done a lot of research
He goes out of his way to research the traditional recipes and why each step is done. The respect he shows to each country's cookery is fantastic.
If I may add to the “As a Mexican™️” input: Uncle Roger’s comment about too many spices interfering with the simplicity of Mexican cuisine is _spot on_ - much of Mexican seasoning of chicken or beef is salt, pepper, and _maybe_ lime, onion, beer, and/or a specific chile. None of my tías’ recipes use cumin or paprika or chili powder, and oregano is used as a condiment in specific circumstances.
I’m Puerto Rican so at first I was like “I’m just going to do whatever I want” but when I got to that part of the video I was like “??????????” Because never in my life could I possibly imagine saturating meat like that for TACOS
Nah, I completely disagree. Although mexican cuisine can be simple there are a lot, and I really mean A LOT, of dishes that are complex AF. Just imagine a mole, asado norteño, menudo, pozole, etc. Alv, it's like an infinite list of spices.
@@miguelmatienzoguer That’s fair. But those are specific dishes. I guess I’m referring more to the typical dishes people think of as Mexican food: asadas or carnitas for tacos, beans, guacamole, salsa, etc. The flavor profiles are _not_ the tex-mex chile powder/cumin/smoked paprika business. They are salt and maybe garlic and maaaaybe pepper/beer/lime/one tía uses orange but the other tía uses coke… Or maybe I just need people to stop using cumin so much 🤷🏻♀️🤣
@@trophybuckle3235 I was just about to say that using a ton of spices is very Tex Mex.
Cumin is my least favorite spice and hate it's smell and taste w a passion
I died at their pronounciations of tortilla, pico de gallo and most importantly "guacemolo".
If you listen closely, she says “Glocky-Molo”. Like a fucking gun.
Oye, this is the funniest thing I've watched in months. Top tier humour from these two, what a delight and what a fortunate combination. Love you both, this was a stand up act on its own.
I love how Joshua got so blindsided by Uncle Roger's jokes about his surname he started calling him Nigel!
🤣🤣🤣 right
Lmao Nigel fr
7:46 my wife has the soap gene. She brings it up a lot anytime we get Mexican, because I love cilantro. Eventually she decided to force me to taste test soap to understand the pain she has to experience anytime she eats cilantro. Turns out I have the soap gene too. The soap really had that nice cilantro flavor I love
Based
Lmfao 😂
yo, same. It lets me have the soap taste without harming me by eating,, well, soap.
This is the best thing I've ever read
You know, I used to find it tasted like soap, but somehow grew out of that or something. It hasn't tasted that way for many years now.
"Guacy-molo"!!! I started howling with laughter! 😂😂😂 I actually squirted water out of my nose! 😅
Dude. Can't believe I just discovered you for the first time this past week! You came up as a "recommended video" one day. Funniest KZheadr I've ever seen. Thanks for what you do!
Uncle Roger: "Don't be so harsh on them, Joshua. They're bakers, not chefs." Also Uncle Roger: *roasts their tortilla-making skills by referencing their recently-deceased queen HAHA love it, Uncle Roger! Please more collabs in the future
Grown ups love their double standards 😂
tbf with them being bakers that should be the one thing they have down-pat
the other thing is they choose oddballs to make weird TV. A bunch of mildly competent normal people is boring TV and boring reaction weedayoo.
This reminds me of the time I, a resident of Texas, studied abroad in London. We all received an email that explained things about how life would be in London and what to expect. One of the things that it said, I will never forget, was: "If, and only if, you are truly desperate for Tex-Mex, there is one restaurant in all of London that serves it. It's called The Texas Embasay. And it is not nearly as good as what you're probably used to."
💀💀💀
Most of European cuisine is not spicy at all. Especially in countries further north. I'm from Poland and people look at me all weird when I eat whole raw Cayenne Peppers, or slices of Habanero with my dinner. They say I'm going to burn a hole in my stomach, since most consider pickled jalapenos to be too hot for their taste. Well nowadays You can maybe find a couple of pizza and burger places here and there, that offer carolina reaper sauce, which is quite spicy indeed. So spicy in fact that after a couple of hours it burns after peeing for a moment.
That is hilarious with both the dry wit and accuracy of the English. Which decade was this in?
@@janesays1278 It was 2010. Guessing not much has changed in that regard?
@@Swordsman1425 no, sadly.
I love it when you two collaborate🤗!
British people trying their hardest not to put mushy peas and fish skeletons in everything
As a Mexican myself, I can confirm that tortilla press is the equivalent to rice cooker. Almost everybody has one at home.
Kind of like American households and crock pots.
Dont forget the comal 😅 a press, a comal, a piloñ... Us latinos have our own culinary equipment requirements 😁👌🏽
@@cavalierliberty6838 Some also have crackpots.
Can confirm
Do yall peel an avocado?😂😂😂
Glockymolo took me all the way out I am actually crying. This is so funny. As a Mexican living in TX I couldn’t imagine eating Mexican food over there.
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.
@@calum5975 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
@@jaycee672 A big part of having a cuisine grow in any nation is having immigrants bring it over. It's why britain has so many Indian and chinese takeaways, even a Jamaican restaurants are more common. Mexicans simply don't migrate to the UK. They have no historical connection to the British Empire unlike those others. Americans should remember this when they laugh about the lack of Mexican food in the UK. Why would the UK have mexican food, we have very few mexicans.
I'm English and I couldn't imagine eating Mexican food out here either, why would we want to when we have the best Indian cuisine in the world
@@keilow885 now I would say that m i g h t be a place with better Indian cuisine, mayhaps, India?
There should be a part 2 for the tres leches showstopper, with the judges favorite actually being a tiramisu. 😂
My aunts and cousin have a tradition where we watch the GBBO while making Christmas cookies, and it takes place the weekend right after I’m done with finals so I sleep a lot. I woke up right in the middle of this episode so thankfully I missed the disastrous taco section, so I’ve only heard rumors from my relatives on how bad it is until now. I know “pico de Gaulle-o” would’ve taken me out instantly.
As a Mexican, just like Uncle Roger says they make his ancestors cry, my aztec ancestors are crying as well
I’m Puerto Rican and I’m crying for Mexicans
As someone whom is white, I cried for the Mexicans,
I’m from Central California, where we eat Mexican food not just as everyday fare, but for celebrations of all kinds. In fact, if you don’t serve it for get-togethers, people think something is wrong with you (I recommend salsa as a hangover cure, btw). I watched this show with a jaw-drop cringe. The whole show! I couldn’t believe it! Why they didn’t just stick to baking is beyond me. I would never try what they made!
My Mayan ancestors are crying as well......Glad they are not here to see this....
@@TheKukulkan Same... so bad... so, so bad...
"so humorous, I'm dying laughing, I dead now" Finally, we heard this iconic line again after 2 years. 😭✨
These replies are raided by bots
@@SuperRoo_22 The bots really have taken over. :( It keeps getting worse.
As a Texan, tacos are quite literally entry level cooking for everyone of any walk of life out here. Meat, beans, veggies, fixins, cheese, and get your tortillas and/or shells from either your local tortilla place or the supermarket, FRESH MADE ON SITE (note: there must be at least 1 Abuela on site to ensure proper tortillas. This is why you don't get tex mex north of the Dallas/Fort Worth area.) Point is, my soul is leaking out of my nose at the notion these grown-ass adults are struggling with shit my 12 year old cousin can grock.
You guys have SUPERB comedic chemistry, Uncle Roger as the "funny" one whose constantly acting out and Joshua as the straight man, trying to reign him in whilst also playing along and getting his own gags in. Perfection.
The best part about this is that Paul wanted to do Mexican week because he'd just spent a bunch of time there (and did several videos for his KZhead channel), but still couldn't pronounce things or distinguish a taco from a tortilla.
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
How do you have a Mexican week when you can't even spend 7 minutes to Google Mexican food?
Homie probably went to Cancún or Cabo
I never ate authentic mexican food because i live in an area where there are very little restaurants that offer something like that but even i know some basics from Joshua or from rick. Especially that you dont use feta instead of cotija. Ever.
@@keenman0403 You could go to a Taco Bell in Minnesota and get a more authentic Mexican experience than the food in this video.
I love how Uncle Roger always slyly tries to playfully goad everyone into possibly cancelling themselves, while saying whatever the hell he wants. 😂😂😂
Cancel culture is for losers anyway
Seeing as how he's been canceled several times, I don't think he cares lol
5:37 As a british person... Im confused as well, i have never heard anyone say those 2 words together
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen. The chemistry of Joshua and Uncle Roger was amazing. Uncle Roger’s jokes on Joshua such as “now do a Mexican accent” and “as Joshua said if its not white it’s not right” had me laughing out loud 😂
Joshua and Roger make like a good cop bad cop combo haha Joshua is about procedure and specifics and uncle Roger the full comedic humor, this was great.
Accurate
Exactly
Its like rush hour dynamic duo.
The real crime in this episode was when they made the contestants try to make a tres leches cake with multiple layers and then complain when the cake was soggy... TRES LECHES IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOGGY!
Its just as sinful as those bastards in Masterchef UK saying rendang chicken should be crispy.
@@ThatchNetherfoldWHAT- like as a singaporean this is absolutely insane
@@KalimbaKirb If you knew what happened, you know. Its not insane, its BASTARDIZED. The idiots who never did their homework yet somehow nominated as judges.
@@ThatchNetherfoldof course should be crispy in traditional British cuisine, they been fucking up all the way back, You are mistaking this rendang from traditional Asian region 😂😂😂
No. Tres Leche is most definitely not supposed to be soggy. Lol. It should be moist and airy. If it's soggy, you done fked it up.
Woah Joshua and Roger have such great chemistry.
This is excellent. Thanks!
as a mexican i cried every time they said galo, every time there was beans being massacred, and seeing them make "tortilas". not just seeing the grandma peel an avocado like ginger.
@slam slam basically but more like Gaio. Without the American twang at the end
Made your ancestors cry 😢
I feel your pain - An Indian who watched jamie oliver make butter chicken
My biggest question is if they even cooked the tortillas....
I'm English and it hurt every time they said things wrong
As a Mexican, I´m offended and glad they got it wrong, tacos are simple and yet so complicated, it was interesting to see how English people understand Mexican cuisine. Great collab, more like these please.
As a British person, I'm pissed that this country doesn't have access really to good Mexican food. Such an awesome style of cuisine, and all people think of are: guacamole; chilli con carne (often done badly); and tacos (always hard shelled and with no semblance of actual taco fillings)
@@goodguykonrad3701’m sorry to say but after watching this disaster, the Brits don’t deserve nor earned the epic Mexican food experience lol.
Man, I'm from Guatemala and I felt bad for you, my neighbours. 🤣🤣 I'm glad almost no one knows from our food outside Guatemala.
bruh, we can't expect much from the people from the empire that robbed half of the world but failed to learn more than 10 recipes
Actually Tacos are really easy, Taco Bell NOT TACOS. Everything else, probably Taco!
It's so ironic as well because in earlier seasons they were doing whole history bits about different things they were cooking or themes. Like Mel and Sue were actually going to factories and museums and places to talk about it.
Tickets to mexico where out of budget.
This is great the two coolest people on KZhead! Now add the Steak Master and you have viewing perfection!
My mexican ancestors are crying and I am dead with them when I saw that lady peel an avocado 💀
No one uses a spatula for a tortilla
Btw…. Caucasian woman over here 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same here and I am jealous that they got birrea tacos
Then she called guacamole glockymola😂🤣💀🤦🏾♂️
I’m not even Mexican but my ancestors are crying for your ancestors.
I'm surprisingly pleased that Uncle Roger and Joshua Weissman have a good grasp of Mexican cooking.
Josh is from Texas and grew up with texmex I believe.
I mean Josh is American he may not eat authentic Mexican dishes but he can at least make guacamole and Pico without embarrassing himself.
Uncle Roger is a foody and he does his research.
@@terynb4407 also Joshua is a very talented professional chef so he knows not only the basics of a wide variety but also how to do research.
@@sanbilge And he understands the difference between Tex-Mex and *actual* Mexican. That's a huge issue - so many people think that Tex-Mex is Mexican cooking. Anything you see in most American restaurants, from a sit-down place to a food cart, is Tex-Mex. Same as how most "Italian" food is Americanized. Almost no authentic Italian food uses cheese, but we DOUSE our food in it here.
i think unca roger collab videos are the best videos he has.
These edits are the best they've ever been
It so cute how you two are sharing your headphones like when your trying to let your crush listen to music with you. I love it
Haha. Yea. I was like bromance is going strong between them.
*earphones
I showed this to my Abuela she threw her hands up and left the room and was like "This is why they colonized half the planet, because they can't cook worth shit. They need all the help they can get." 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
That's awesome!! 😂
Ever heard that joke, that they colonized everything in search of all the spices but then decided they wanted 0 flavor?
😂😂😂😂😂
I like your abuela 😁
Im not mexican, im Colombian, but i showed my mother that avocado peeling and she was going insane by how could someone peel an avocado like that.
XD
Guatemalan here. Grew up eating Mexican all the time because that’s the closest thing they got. I love this video. Pure beauty.
That avocado peeling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm mexican, I told my mom about this, and she stopped everything she was doing just for seeing with her own eyes that scene.
Has she recovered from the shock? 😅😂🤣
Having lived in the UK for almost 2 years, and having seen their idea of “Mexican” food in the stores there, I can confirm that this is par for the course. The salsa at Sainsbury’s is a true travesty.
oh Lord, what did they do?
@@ryutheslayer123 The salsa is super sweet. It’s a level of sweetness that wouldn’t be appropriate outside of a mango salsa. Fortunately I tasted it before I added it to my taco filling. Also, I’m not surprised that they were having such a time with the tortillas; the “corn tortillas” sold over there were a texture that I’ve never encountered before or since.
You buy salsa?
@@BrazenBull91I was a full-time grad student using a shared kitchen who just wanted a taco. Yes. I tried to buy salsa. Ffs.
Yeah, I'm English mate, that's why no-one here buys salsa, but tbh most people here can't cook pasta...
4:56 Nice rock, Uncle Joshua doing good lol.
Having uncle Rodger and uncle Josh together in a video is starting to be one of my favorite things on the internet as I delve through Josh’s videos.
Props to the Scottish guy for knowing how to say pico de gallo correctly.
I as a man of Mexican heritage myself, am just enjoying the British experience of them struggling to pronounce even the most basic ingredients of my culture, let alone make the dishes. No mames gringos! 😂
What confuses me more is they say they've *never* had tacos? They've never made tacos? Like, not even as takeout, or one of those taco kits at the grocery store? Aren't tacos usually lumped in under the "american food" umbrella, with burgers, or fries, or pie? Do they not have tacos in the UK?
@@Neopolitan-tk8tu Mexican restaurants are really not a big thing in europe, the kebap basically has that position (than mexican restaurants have in the US) over here. For example, my city of 250000 citiziens only have 1 decent mexican restaurant and is not even great for how expensive it is. And not ,the only fast food american chain that sells that kind of tex mex food is taco bell and they mostly sell burritos. London has mexican restaurants but again pretty mediocre and expensive, nothing like the real thing with very few exceptions. Madrid or Barcelona i think have better mexican restaurants.
@@lunarisita26 yeah never really been to mexican place. I see a lot of colombian and Brazilian restraunts now tho
@Neopolitan3031 Mexican food isn't really much of a thing over here. Indian food, fish and chips, Chinese and Turkish kebabs dominate.
@@Neopolitan-tk8tu Do they not have tacos in the UK? We do have tacos, but they're not common. About 5 years ago I went to the first Taco Bell in Scotland. Most "Mexican" food we eat here is nachos, burritos, or chilli con carne.

Joshua was so anxious to set things right, he called Uncle Roger, Nigel.
Didn't want the cancel culture after his ass
Never break character! Nigel can get away with anything if he does it in character
I’m Mexican American, and personally, I’ve never seen a Mexican use rare steak for tacos. It’s always fully cooked, seasoned simply yet heavily, and usually you chop the steak to small bits before you start cooking it.
No in mexico they cut the meat after its cooked
@@RONPEE-STINGER Can you actually explain to me what's wrong with doing that by the way? I feel like just stir-frying it would work perfectly fine.
@@marcusdaloia2974it would make the beef to chewy.
@@marcusdaloia2974 its easier to cut the meat
If you’re cooking the meat on the stove there shouldn’t be a problem dicing it up beforehand. Some meat markets will even sell you “taco meat” ready to cook on the stove. If you’re going to grill a slab of fajita obviously you cut it up afterwards
a colab that i wanted to see

The worst part of this is that Paul actually went to Mexico for desserts and sweetbread, so he should know how to pronounce the names of the dishes properly.

@@Jergy2 average British man
Brits straight up do not learn how to pronounce things in other languages. They see how it’s spelled and then figure “this is how to say this” and that is how you wind up getting Spanish small plates when a Brit asks if you’re in the mood for “tap ass”

I literally gasped when that lady started peeling the avocado. Wow.
Same. I don't like avocados and I don't eat them, but I still know how to open and "peel" them. 😂
Me too! I scared my dog.
I laughed for about 5 minutes when I saw that
There's literally like 3 steps to how to peel a avocado 1. Cut in the middle till you meet the seed 2. Cut around the seed 3. Grab the peel line between the flesh of the avocado and slowly peel like a banana
And you think you know how to handle any food item in the world perfectly on first try?
As someone who grew up with a Mexican family I’ve never in my life seen or even imagined an avocado peeled like that 😭 ain’t no way
It's no substitute for other cheeses but feta actually does go with avocado remarkably well.
Put this with Spanish subtitles and every Mexican mom will die a little with these performances by British cooks
There's no need of subtitles, we know the language, at least those with the youtube recomendation of this channel

The only thing that is close to Mexican week are the costumes, such a coincidence since the beginning is a bit identical for Japanese week except the only Japanese thing is Noel saying “Konnichiwa”
Well wearing a sombrero and poncho I consider being stylish but what they did was wearing it to portray themselves Mexican kinda makes it cringe.
I died on Japanese week and now my husband dies during Mexican week. Except the Juan jokes was funny. My husband makes this kind of dad jokes all the time.
The hat is mexican, but the poncho actually comes from Peru.
@@pizzas4breakfast that hat ain't mexican at all, some indigenous people from México do use tassles on their hats but a charro/chineco hat doesn't
True. One problem though it’s pronounced ko and it sounded like he said Ka so he pronounced it かにちわ
Tortillas are often twice cooked--once baked in a skillet, then fried in oil until crispy.
This is making me realize how much I take Mexican food for granted.
As a Mexican man myself, I can tell you the British chefs and the judges makes me hear my ancestors cry. At least the British chef making refried beans is a bit better than jacks bean salad, which is canned beans mixed with mayonnaise, raw onions, and vinegar.
Cry first ....then seek vengeance and some fresh human sacrifices for Quetzalcoatl .... 👹👹👹
@@lilymarinovic1644 Damn lily, that took a turn…
The sad thing about this is that Paul Hollywood (one of the judges) had only recently come back from Mexico.
god what the actual fuck im rereading this and as an ecuadorian i feel the second hand embarrassment.
Bruh! I'm not even Mexican, but Cali grown. This hurt my soul lol.
As a texan I laughed so hard at their mispronuciation of tortilla and pico de Gallo😂 the avocado peeling was not just a facepalm but a table flip moment
As a Californian I laugh at texas and tex-Mex.
@joeysausage3437 as a texan I don't give a shit what Californians has to say and am disgusted by your "burritos". I'll just buy more tortas
@@joeysausage3437don’t you fuckers put fries in your burritos? The whole “California” burrito
@@joeysausage3437as a Californian you have no right to laugh at anyone with the shape your state is in 😂
@@Nugg12what shape? sock shaped?
Please do another one, this shits classic😂🎉
As a mexican… I cringed so much at the cooks but the worst was the avocado getting peeled
I'm Chilean and yeah... that one was a lot.
It is her first time doing it, think of it as asking someone to de-bone a fish who never fished before the results are not going to be pretty.
@@southcoastinventors6583 ok but like... deboning a fish requires someone to teach you and certain knife skills, using avocado, at least here in Chile, is something you do for supper or breakfast!! it's just jarring they do it wrong hahaha
why? does it affect the flesh or is it just cos it's not how you do it?
I'm Panamenian and I even felt the Avocado, also the tortilla as well. Damn that was hard to watch
NO!!!! PORQUE 😭😭 all my ancestors are crying in their graves 😭 VIVA MEXICO CABRONES 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Ikr 💀💀💀
I died when Josh broke down the wall - "My brand is on the line here, Nigel..."
Man, i'm not even mexican, i'm from argentina but it still hurt like a bitch when i saw that woman peeling the avocado that way
I literally burst laughing after seeing how she “PEELED” the avocado. 🤣😂💀
It’s amazing she didn’t slice her hand wide open
Same!
I remember reading an artical about how basically people in the UK and Europe were going to hospitals and Emergency Rooms... because they didn't know how to open an avocado.
@@ShadowClaw92 something similar was going on in the States like eight-ten years ago. They called it “avocado hand” and it mostly came from people slipping while either turning the avocado on the knife or being WAAAAY too aggressive trying to remove the pit. That’s why Buzzfeed has spent so many years trying to sell that gadget that is basically the avocado-specific equivalent of safety scissors. Again, she is SUPER lucky she didn’t slice her hand wide open, especially bringing the knife towards herself like she was. They can say it wasn’t the case all they like, but this whole episode was the most bad-faith thing I’ve ever seen from the producers of this show.
My very not Chinese toddler who is a little speech delayed just repeated your “Haiyaa”. I about died laughing 😂 Thank you Uncle Roger
love the emphasis on very lol
Cute 🥰
Fuiyoh!
@slam slam bro that's a scam
@@frailimbnursery 😂
I'm so glad you did this video! as a Latina, I was so mad watching that episode.
“Remind me not to shake uncle Joshua hand” 😂😂😂 Im dead Nigel 😂😂😂
I love how even the team behind the camera can be roasted too by Uncle Roger. No one is safe 😛
As a Brit who loves making authentic Mexican food, it is tricky to find the right ingredients as most supermarkets don’t carry cotija cheese etc - we do what we can! But this was shockingly bad lol
Try using Fresh cheese or queso oaxaca (The string chihuahua cheese is top tier too) we mainly use cotija for snacks such as chicharrones or sometimes gorditas
I had low expectations but they managed to limbo right under them. Not being able to pronounce Taco wasn't a good start.
@@Arigator2 "Tak-oh" ugh.
Peeling the avocado was too brutal to watch, and the lack of any Spanish pronunciation 🤦♂️
@@mikehancho2082 Both of those parts killed me. The avocado was ridiculous but the lack of pronunciation was so freaking disrespectful
You had to get the emotional damage in there xD I spat out my beer when that happened I laughed so hard 🤣
I was learning cooking in highschool and my Italian-American chef was teaching me about formal and informal dining sets, and it's proper etiquette to set all salt containers right to pepper, facing the entrance of the room. The funny bit is he conveyed this information with the phrase. "Remember, whites are always right" Rent free in my head. 🤣
Don’t need to let it rest This is tortilla Not the queen 😂😂😂 Uncle Roger is brutal
What a monster ! 👍
Even the production team was laughing
@@prathikkarthikeyan6684 roast master
That old hag has a lot of resting to do
As someone who grew up in Texas with great Tex mex and Mexican food but now lives in Scotland, I’m afraid to inform you that many Mexican restaurants here use feta instead of cotija (which is only really available in specialty stores in major cities)
Oh no!!! Do they at least do salsa and guacamole right?
😱😱😭😭😭
Well, I think at least it’s understandable, if it’s only available in bigger cities. I don’t really see a problem with substituting, if it’s not available. Better than letting it be shipped around the world 😅
I haven't been able to find Mexican cheeses even in bigger cities 😭 is there a place in Edinburgh maybe? I know there's a Mexican grocery there but I heard they usually don't have cheeses.
And then there's the chain that is "Wahaca"
Makes me wish I was on this episode of the British Bake off....but I woulda failed at any English food during the rest of the episodes. Grew up in San Diego and all these foods are basically a weeknight for me. Coulda really screwed with them and made a pico de gallo with chopped avocado. Dry rub for the meat looked okay, but tossing in some ground cinnamon can make that rub a lotta fun. Plus smoked paprika over regular if they aren't grilling. Also, I didn't see a Feta container to say that was Feta. It had the same consistency as Queso Fresco. But after seeing this, they might be right...
From now on when ever the GBBO does some international week it will be watched with many hearts to break, infact it would not suprise me if these are all British versions of what WE think they should look and taste like
Uncle Rodger making Joshua sweat over Mexican jokes is giving me life
