Good Eats S12E10 Switched on Baklava (1/2)

[jwwc123]

"...who was the, uh, of course the Roman version of Zeus, who I'm sure had some great nuts too." xD Oh Alton, I love you.

[Tekeydieb]

ive never thought of using rose water in cooking. that stuff can do a lot

[Piklethedoodad]

Thumbs up if you need a little more baklavaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[cookiesluvkreme]

Rather have the weird hair than his gaunt face... still love him though ;)

[InspectorGadget923]

I love ya alton, but I'm not taking a cooler into a super market.

[some5672]

ALTONN I thought you said not to buy ice cream! Unless you made it yourself and brought it just for that purpose!

[kdbennett2009]

can the nuts b replaced? im nt a huge fan

[Celestyal22]

@kdbennett2009 you could, but then it wouldn't be baklava.

[lebaneseprince25]

asians invinted baklava

[Opheliac666]

Fuckin boyfriend wants baklava for his b-day. I fucked it up last year. I have 4 days to perfect it for this year. Alton, lay your godly awesome on me!

[GeronKizan]

They really like repeating the reese's commercial over and over.....lol

[hsuanstr]

what the hell is wrong with his hair

[MiriOhki]

I have to wonder if that Zeus having great nuts too was just, to use the TVTRopes terms, a double shot of Getting Crap Past the Radar and a Take That to Zeus...

[nellgwen48]

I finally found a major complaint with Alton. If I make Baklava I make my own Phyllo dough. The frozen stuff tastes like baked notebook paper. I never use almonds ever always walnuts and a little bit of pistachios. Sometimes I don't use pistachios at all. Phyllo dough and danish dough is the same thing. We use a pasta machine to start the rolling process.

[marieariel]

@nellgwen48 I must highly disagree. Phyllo dough and danish (by which I assume you mean puff pastry) are completely different as puff pastry/danish dough gets its flakiness from pockets of melted fat (usually butter) while Phyllo dough gets its flakiness from layers and layers of the ultra-thin sheets and does not contain nearly as much fat on its own (though is frequently painted with butter) It is a vehicle for flavor so the pastry on its own doesn't taste like much.

[lisakoch64]

No rosewater EVER, Cut before baking, 4 layers better, cold syrup on hot baklava always & cut in triangles....looked a mess! No wonder he's not Greek...

[lancer525]

Oh bother...

[sulo4life]

this isn't greek

it is a turkish delicasy

those greeks use our food and rename it :)

[freefliercrash]

My cousin saw him in the store a few weeks ago... It was very interesting!

[khesed]

4:55 "Wacky lovers, those Greeks."

Anyone else heard of this? "The Greeks invented sex. The Romans invented sex with women."

[MrBiscuit77]

@khesed I thought the Romans invented corruption and the unibrow.

[brewingrunning]

That is f'ing hilarious...and not far off from the truth.

[hendenburg2]

@khesed no... the romans invented recording it. ever been to Pompeii?

[KH132]

Turkish Baklava ftw

[heatherjgarc28]

OMG, I made this recipe and it's SOOOOO good! Very sweet, you really need to let it sit longer then 8 hrs. in my experience, but soooo worth it! YUMMY! I would make it more often if the nuts weren't so expensive. THANKS AB!!

[HinataYuri]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wacky lovers those greeks, you can see her hand holding up the tree, it way too overly funny!!!!!!!!

[cryofsorrow]

i really like this show, but hes saying baklava wrong.

[cryofsorrow]

its difficult to explain pronounciation through words, but il try. he has the stress point in the wrong place. he is stressing the first a in baklava, when it should be kind of between the l and a. i hope that helps.

[hhamor]

@cryofsorrow Who cares,why do you have to be worried about the littlest things

[cryofsorrow]

@hhamor

i know that it is a little thing, but jeez, calm down. im just tellin it to people because i am middle eastern, and its kinda like a mexican person telling others how to say queso if they're pronouncing it qweso.

[Lisanab]

ok thank god it isnt just me who thought his hair was all creepy and weird

[AlcoholicMage]

Did Alton just say what I think he said? 5:09

[K4hl4n4mnell]

Yes, he did. lmao Zeus would need some good sized ones, too, with all the girls he chased.

[peeweesherman]

the turkish carpet flyer looks an awful like ufc champ heavywheight frank mir...

[alefeb1]

Dear Mr. Brown,

I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE your show. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE cut your hair.

Thank you. :D

[ArianaMaria]

WHAT DID HE DO TO HIS HAIR! I used to actually think he was attractive with the short hair, now he looks like a really old man. ew.

[vaiol123]

He really isn't that old either. Maybe its to express age = knowledge sorta deal

[ap22987]

mid life crisis

[obamamama0185]

I can think of only one excuse for the hair. Ick.

[satindesire]

"Boy Howdy! Did you...see where my carpet landed?"

[Merlyn1978]

Oh no, the camel's a carpet muncher.

[Lisanab]

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahah­ahahahaha

omg that is so funny

[wirewire232]

4:09

get off a cooking show and become a supermodel!!!

[omglikea42yp7]

thank you!! I only saw the ending of this...

[manymythsbusted93]

Thank you! Alton didn't put up the rose water recipe with his recipe.

[carma91]

Yay, I wanted to watch this episode when it was on tv, but I wasn't at home. Thanks for putting all of these up.

[sittingbull09]

He looks like Ben Franklin with the hair.

Also, did he just show everyone how to make liquor? LOL

[DarkSoldier712]

Am I the only Good Eats fan who sometimes finds himself speaking or typing in alliterations? It's a crazy compulsion I cannot comprehend.

[GillianGrissom]

Hey! Carya! That's where that comes from!

LOL sorry, I just took a tree ID class and Carya was part of the Latin name of the hickories, which are in the walnut family.

[QingTien]

omg, you are awesome =O!!!

[khesed]

"You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!"

"You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!"

Well, pretty much.

xD

[DarkSoldier712]

The most commonly referenced piece of pop culture in Good Eats history.

Unrelated side note: anyone catch the double entendre when AB mentions walnuts' connection to the Roman god Jupiter? "...The Roman version of Zeus, who I'm sure had some great nuts, too."

[Khadgar34]

Sorry about that, there was an error uploading part 2, it should be there now.

[khesed]

Thank you for uploading the new episodes, btw!

[starian1234]

Thanks for continuing your donations to the prevent boredom on the internet cause!

[pedicabdr1ver]

alton... i love you to death, but your current hair makes you look like a pedophile

[aem0917]

Yeah, I'm not digging this hair style either.

[hinder1312]

lol

[mauserman3]
