Good Eats S7E0P1: Eat This Rock

[tomixrider]

In the beginning when AB "goes" to Japan, it says "Lake Mashu"??? Lake Mashu is actually in Hokkaido, at the very top of the island...and it is supposed to be one of the clearest lakes in the world...but it IS true that many of the Japanese salt fields are down there...

[SimuLord]

I've been to the fish packers of Gloucester, Massachusetts at low tide. I've been within range and downwind of one of these salt facilities. I could spend a lifetime debating with myself which I find less pleasant.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

So it's kind of like mining coal, the techniques they used.Some of the equipment their using has preserved examples at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry in the Coal Mine Exhibit for those who are interested.

[mrjokioo]

THEY HAVE THIS ON YOUTUBE?!

[cwcoress]

i peed on that rock in the beginning

[Mewfan]

I've been to the salt mine in Poland pictured here. Trust me it's awesome and you should go there! Or well... the food wasn't really good eats

[tsmeowth001]

good eats is awesome. i learn how to cook and interesting facts and why to cook it this way

[lilmzpreach]

@boblabon, Actually, it says it's 8:44 AM.

[sharpezor]

i want to lick that rock :(

[Goldenrod636]

Is Good Eats gonna do new episodes?

[PicklesParodyPalace]

@Goldenrod636 :( only 3 more hour long specials then... :'( its overrrr

[junkb0x99]

Hey, some of that footage looks familiar! Didn't Mike Rowe visit that mine?

[murleman]

isnt he going to die now that he tasted the slat water sea

[degen83]

@murleman nah, it takes much more than a small amount of salt water to kill you. If you ever go play in the ocean near the beaches of the Atlantic of Pacific chances are you'v had a few gulpfulls of salt water. It doesn't taste good, but it takes more than a few accidental sips to cause problems.

[boblabon]

My question is why are there people grocery shopping at 5:44 am?

[Yoshitsune5]

@boblabon it is the best time to go because there is nobody there

[jeanfou1]

Kyle is hot.

[mrmorganmusic]

I think this video is really choppy

[whitefire64]

only chef on fn to like rocks <3

[MahBoi3579]

"What's the significance of this?....What do I look like, a salt-miner?" lol

[gcdrummer02]

what would a nutritional anthropologist (d'oh, i said it) know about salt mining?

[7h3ki113r666]

the entire place is a gift shop lol

[xtw1tch3s]

Kyle is creepy.

[starian1234]

"Oh, and then you die."

Love you AB.

[ribbonsnrusty]

that made me laugh really hard.

[dsm4gsus]

I think Kyle needs to get out more, he's been in that mine for to long

[Alrepa]

he got new glasses

[fieryrogue]

"If it doesn't look exactly like the salt in your salt cellar at home, well, there's a few good reasons... for one, we're in a really dark hole in the ground."

Haha, oh Alton. :D

[ThemHooligans]

"That pink, by the way, is actually algae that like the salt!"

....So, like in the Red Sea? Is it the same algae?

[zeldarooles]

Man the sound messed up. :(

[hamsterlover0220]

cool dude

[kurtdyoung]

this is one of my favorites, but i can rarely use the recipes becuase my girlfriend is dead set on that "salt is poison"

[dancinbluegirl]

Perhaps if she is against salt, she isn't the one for you :P

[kurtdyoung]

haha ya

[SasukeFreak]

shes dumb! its the consumption of too much salt not salt in general -_-

[ts003]

Make her watch Good Eats?

[Isolder74]

Besides most of theses recipes only use the salt as a cooking medium. As such most of the salt doesn't end up in the food. Tell her she should worry more about eating at the local burger joint then anything you'd make featured on this show.

[xeryph]

My grandma spent her whole life eating pickled foods, and salt ridden foods, and she lived to be 88. I think it's other things that are making people unhealthy, like, eating too much in general? :P

[DanielAnchondo]

tell her salt is a necessary ingredient for the human body to function.

[TheBuck26]

Awesome. I've never seen this one before.
