Iron Chef - Battle Mango (2 of 5)

[Lifeisafruit]

2:37 "Yeah man, their edible" ahah

[Saiko47]

Tacos are largely mexican. its the burrito thats largely american in origin.

[yun514]

damn since they talk about taco i feel like those hot chilly taco

[Virtuoso80]

Mexican food is, "just hot spice the lacks subtle flavoring," ...spoken by a man who has never had good mole.

[Tinkafo]

Yeah, the dude is flat out wrong. Tacos are a traditional Mexican food that predates the European discovery of the New World.

[thewalrusaurus]

i predict that at some point in the next 5 minutes Takata San will coo over how pretty the colors are

[naughtydorf18]

korn looks mexican

[chefkoo]

2:06 Wrong. Tacos predate any European influence. They have been eaten in mexico for almost a century

[taxidriver2929]

mexican=latino not latin

[Lithys]

@taxidriver2929 Latin America. Latin language.

[duriandecay]

Mexican? Where I'm from, they call those mangoes Australian. Oh well.

[ReyNixz]

I didn't know Philippine Mangoes are famous!! Hahaha that's awesome!! We should sell more Mangoes from this country!!

[LizetteBaguette]

I was typing w/one hand & holding my son in the other, I meant to type "mangos" not "mangis." I didn't see any fresh pico de gallo, tomatiilos or any kind of home made fresh salsa. I hope to see some later on in the battle. What? No caldos, no fidello? No fresh, cold mango sprinkled w/chili & lime? No mango agua frescas? No torta w/mango salsa? No avacado? No guacamole? No mango atole? No beans & rice? No arroz con pollo? Asadas y guisadas? No lechuga con limon? I could go on 4eva!

[LizetteBaguette]

I wish the mango theme could've included a WIDER variety of fresh mangos. I really enjoy fim & tart raw green mangis. Mangos from the Caribbean are absoulutely succulent! I think Mexican cuisine is very rich & flavorful, not greasy at all, unless you're frying up churros & forget to drain them on paper towels. I'm surprised I didn't see perfectly cooked crisp, sweet churros or sopapillas w/a mango dipping sauce. I havn't watched the entire battle yet. I wanna see some grilling action!

[etejoy]

The mexican food in the most great cuisine in tne world

[royslay1382]

i didnt think mexican food had a storng or deep refined cooking history not strong enough to be consider in the same category as french, chinese, italian, etc. this is going to be good.

[freedomfan1998]

How ethnocentric and ignorant of you, but you are entitled to your own opinion. Just because the media and culinary experts keep on popularizing French, Chinese, Italian, and etc. as the only refined "food" does not make it so. Its just they get more hype than other types of food. Anyways I didn't really expect Japanese people to appreciate Mexican food and Italian and Mexican are not food brothers at all.

[etejoy]

you wrong mexican cuisine is the most variety in the world el mole example is the very dificult food

[phantasticphreak]

Who came first, Korn or Korn!?

[BrioCyrain]

I wonder who was the idiot who started the whole "Both foods are similar" thing? Italian and Mexican comparision is as easy as putting a plate of spaghetti and a plate with a burrito side by side.

[Wrekognyze52]

philippine mangoes are so sweeeeeeet!! you can have it as every meal's dessert =)

[Liburado]

tacos ARE NOT from the united states... and "we" don't calll it "tortilla"... who gave him that "fact"

[ijuh22]

they are not talking about who invented tacos, but who made them popular in the last century.

[skycub99]

yea if anyone is ever in Tucson AZ you GOTTA go to "Mi Nidito" it's possibly the best authentic mexican restaurant in the whole US.

[mxpriya]

thats not true tacos was inventing by the native mexican indians. they dicover the corn and the tomatoes. hahahahaha and we eat alot of nopalessss, {cactus}

[mpq10377]

philippine mangoes are sooooooooo good. it's the best!!!1

[masonkiller666]

Living right along the border of Mexico and the U.S. the commentators make me feel like I live on another planet. hahaha.

[neatkitten]

the actress is very beautiful :)

and i love mangoes

[darthhate]

Actually everyone is wrong! Tacos are Native American, and they have been eating them way before there was some invisible imaginary line. The only thing different was they wern't eating them with chicken and beef or pork, but rather local game and fowl, fish and even insects. Ha!

[raskolnikoffh]

@darthhate

yeah,too sushi is japanese tacos...and spring rolls are chinese tacos...

[raskolnikoffh]

@darthhate

yeah,too sushi is japanese tacos and spring rolls are chinese tacos...true?

[darthhate]

Actually everyone is wrong, taco's are Native American, and they have been eating them ever since there was some imaginary invisible line.

[KevinMcDunn]

Haha, Korn basically talks about partying until he drops, and Fukui, the dorkiest person on the show, says, "I know what you mean."

[Thracozaag]

Korn rules.

[hallucifuge]

Let me give you the translation of what he said...

"I love gettin' fukt up n' eatin' burritos n' shizz."

>:-D

[Prosopagnosia11]

philippine mangoes are the best.

[laoag357]

you can say that again are you filipiono? me yes

[Prosopagnosia11]

yes i am filipino. and philippine mangoes are really the best

[laoag357]

you can sat that again yummmy!

[geminat]

great editing job Archo

[Pristopher]

Tacos are Mexican, Fajitas are TexMex. Doc kinda got mixed up...

[forza599]

haha "i get so hungover"

[slickslickster]

I wish they would let Korn rap a little on the show.

[avgail]

Philippine mangoes!!!!!!!!!!

[joyeuxnoel]

That's our Trademark. Philippine Mango, the sweetest mango in the world. Perfect for desert.

[BigEvilLadia23]

Mexican and the Phillppnes Mango there Rock & Roll

[noventar]

lol Korn, every time I see that i laugh

[mlsyang]

Ummmm....Mangos! I love to slice the mangos, sprinkle some ground chili on them, fresh squeeze of lime, salt, sugar, and a squirt of fish sauce...ummmm...Mango Salad!

[matabaldia]

they should teach history to guy who say tacos are american, he is so stupid.

[noventar]

you do know that both north and south america are american?

[tatiana54]

they were probably thinking about burritos

[matabaldia]

Yes may be they tough about burritos, but either way tortilla is mexican, I am mexican and I am a chef, so you can trust me, the tortilla born in Tlaxcala, is a mexican state, in nahuatl tlaxcala means "the place of the tortilla" and this was about 8 or 9 hundred years ago, its a shame the talk in TV about something the dont know for sure.

[rapps143]

philippine MANGO is the BEST!!!
