Good Eats S13E5P1 - Undercover Veggies

[B4K4xNi]

I just made these muffins... good god, they're wonderful.

[MasterAnchovie]

I just love his voice "And the almonds... very nice."

[nerdybassist95]

Random Latin FTW

[Ibeatganon4fun]

5:59 ...Of course he isn't just gonna grate the parsnips normally! I bet he's gonna go figure out some clever way of making it easier... Yup! I love Alton Brown.

[Square1production]

parsnips are awesome

[fortyandfabulous]

"degustabus non est desputandem" actually means "to each his own"

[CorneliusSneedley]

@fortyandfabulous Well, sort of. "De gustibus non est disputandum" means “no dispute about tastes.”

[whitekaminari]

Road side oil treatment :D That's a STP product and I recognize that anywhere

[khesed]

@whitekaminari i thought of that, too -

i'd rather use gumout.

[nardo218]

This tiny Hermione is way cuter than the scenery-chewing nephew.

[Tethros]

When he says "bitters" at 2:52, I think he actually means hops...

[Goldenrod636]

Does Marsha know who the father of her daughter is?

[Shadow194]

I like Elton better :[

[aflockofmusic2]

anyone notice that MJ's school uniform says Brown Academy on it?

[youngactor6]

The muffins are delicious!

[aflockofmusic2]

ok, never mind I checked, that is his real daughter.

[roune6669]

@aflockofmusic2 that makes me feel old

i remember on the honey episode when she was just a little baby

[aflockofmusic2]

Is that his daughter? It seems like she is, they act the same and look similar but she could be an actress.

[Klinkster68]

Tricking the kid would be much tougher if he didn't have "undercover veggies" written on the fridge door (30 seconds into the clip).

[enishicz28]

the muffin method dictates that the wet go on top of the dry, he totally did it wrong lol

[trumbachd1]

Anybody have the recent Bloody Mary/Margarita Episode to Post?

[RebeccaPond]

"Veggie Phobes Beware! Alton Brown explains ways to cook up vegetables that even children will find delicious."

[RyuukiCho]

what happened to elton? T^T he grew up huh?

[Jeneparlepasfrancais]

@RyuukiCho That, and I think Marsha got sick of him getting influenced by his uncle. Sending her unswayable clonespawn in his place is a much better solution.

[cweld007]

In his new book he says he's now taller than him, plays football, and applied to go to West Point.

[heathnugget]

Was she the milk girl as well in the sweeney Todd meat pie episode as well?

[silksarii]

japanese babies african babies native-american babies indian babies chinese babies mexican babies doesn't matter what kind of baby

[kiminokami]

Except those Dutch babies!

[SasukeFreak]

his daughter is sooo cute ^_^

[crazybetty00]

Pretty sure that's his daughter. She's adorable!

[grannymelissa]

Yep. That's Zoey. Now 9yrs old! Remember when she was just a toddler on the honey episode? I love watching each episode carefully to see if and when i can spot her, cuz she's been on lots of them over the years, but never been credited. I'm guessing for privacy reasons. Doesn't she look just like Alton though? :)

[crazybetty00]

Yes! Love the honey episode and, more recently her cameo in the Crawfish episode. She's practically his mini-me!

[Pyroblazer]

She really has gotten big o0 Looks so much like him too XD

[Hadra568]

Has to be, she's a mini-Alton!

[wisnij]

I believe she was in the popover episode as well.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

Isn't that his daughter though?

[keldinrose]

I was disapointed regarding the title of this episode. Not really a veggie, more of a taproot - not really veggIES, more like the singular. Bell peppers are sweet, so are onions if you treat them right, carrots get an honerable mention but he does nothing with them - what about zuccinni bread? I guess past episodes have delt with this, celery soda, sweet potato pie, roasted veggie cream cheese. I just thought he could have done more with the concept of sneaking veggies into food for kids.

[gawdzila]

Actually a vegetable is simply the edible portion any plant cultivated for food.  The fact that it is a taproot doesn't mean that it isn't a vegetable. There is, in fact, no specific botanical or biological definition for the word "vegetable".

[cursivedragon]

WRONG! A "fruit" is what a plant bears. The rest of that plant is a vegetable. Look at it like this; roots, stems and leaves are vegetables. That my friend is the scientific answer. Markets have them seperated NOT by fruits and vegetables, but by color and treatment they need to sustain a longer shelf live.

[gawdzila]

You, in fact, gave the same definition of the word vegetable that I did, so we agree on that. The only difference is that you say that it is the "scientific" answer. If that is actually the case I'd like to see what credible biology source you're quoting from, because I've certainly never seen a rigorous definition of the word.

Just so you know, dictionaries aren't a "scientific" source.

[mdhofstee]

Hmm I think this one niece was already a family member. If you remember the doughnut episode Marsha was watching over little bunnies (girl scouts I think).

[TVextremist91]

I don't know why, but this episode wasn't all that great to me. It feels like Alton is trying too hard. I'm sure it's just an off day.

[GoodETV]

I don't know,I kind of liked the whole gimmick. It made it feel...old school (The pees episode).

[enbeodie]

@GoodETV

i sure hope you mean peas, i dont want to watch an episode of good eats that has anything to do with pee

[reallyocean]

@TVextremist91 I really enjoyed this episode. I've seen parsnips in the grocery store and have seen them used in plenty of other food programs as a 'vegetable' ingredient but this episode encouraged me to actually go out and buy some! We'll see how they turn out after tonight's dinner!

[Legofan4ever88]

My mom never had to use any tactics w/ me. Just coat in in Ketchup and i'll eat nearly any veggies(except mustard greens YUCK)

[recoil53]

Mustard greens just need some smoked ham hock. Maybe some garlic. Some people like hot sauce when eating.

No more nephew? How many more 'relatives' will Alton create as the show continues?

[JackieCoogansBastard]

Remember, before a cook, AB is a TV director/producer. and a daughter is much, much cheaper than an actor.

[grannymelissa]

HeeHee.. as far as you know. What none of us may know is she might get one heck of a BIG allowance! And heck, he really owes it to her after what he made her do for the Crawfish episode! (Even is those *were* fake mudbugs, heh.)

[Pyroblazer]

...Pretty sure she still gets payed for it...XD Plus I bet it's fun too..

[khesed]

@JackieCoogansBastard that sounds more wrong than you intended xP

[a2dmusic]

The Food Network description of this episode isn't all that different from what you already have:

"Alton explains how to sneak veggies into sweet treats."

[arequipa1]

sweet!

[mitsukl]

thank you!!
