lol@ the flame war in the comments.

[4594901]

i am from the caribbean and corned beef and breadfruit is one of the best combos ever. I think what they call tarrow is what we call 'coco' or prolly 'dasheen'

[salmeen]

the son of slut ate the whole dish and says he is not a fan thats what happens when u call a traitor home

[borderraven]

Eat like the natives, it's cheaper and an adventure.

[TheNat2008]

@TheVedicStudent How rude!!! How can you say "eat like a pig, die like a pig" to these Pacific Islanders. Such a horrible thing to say.

[groundnpounder]

these are Tongans, not Fijians

[ETJLMET]

@groundnpounder no they are in Fiji in this one, so be careful of who you call an idiot!

[groundnpounder]

@ETJLMET I didn't call anyone an idiot but since you brought it up I'd have to say that you are an idiot. Please tell me what leads you believe they're in Fiji? FYI I am Fijian... I can tell by the way these people look, talk, eat and behave that they not Fijians...they are Tongans.

[ETJLMET]

@groundnpounder you must have lost your mind, you must be the "indian fijian" because you're not a real Polynesian, these people in this video have a different accent then those on Tonga! Indians from India really are horrible people, they stink and are getting killed in the U.S.A. all the time!

[groundnpounder]

@ETJLMET No I haven't lost my mind, but i suspect you never had one to begin with. I'm not an "Indian Fijian" nor am I a "real Polynesian" because I'm Fijian. Fijian people are Melanesian not Polynesian.... Anyways, none of the nonsense you're saying changes the fact that those folk are Tongans from Tonga and Fijians in Fiji. Look it up on Wikipedia you half wit. BTW they have Tongan accents... and you're fucking idiot..go fuck your mum.

[ETJLMET]

@groundnpounder you claim to be Fijian but your choice of words for "Mom" which you used "mum" indicates the fact that you are Aussie or Kiwi, Fiji is a mixture between Poly and Melanesian, Fijians have alot of Tongan blood in them hence the "Tongan Tui" the Tongan Islands ran the whole South Pacific. Where do you think your bloodline comes from? , all of you Poly's and Melanesians and Micronesians and French Polys all hail from Tonga about 4000 years ago and before that from American Indians

[WesternMystique1]

not sure what this clip was all about...but i tell you what? i love me my island food!~ he can go rot in hell for all i care!~ TWO THUMBS DOWN FOR YOUR 'FLAVOURS OF FIJI' or what the F the producers are call this clip.

[laufin03]

[latac2]

[afa16]

dis fag is complaining about our food but yet we r more fit than americans

[mageodarkness]

@afa16 well its a good thing hes english then

[frangipani2124]

@TheGodFatherSahil12 - Fiji Indians comprise of approx 44 percent of the total population of Fiji and not all 44% are Hindus. There are more Christians then hindu's in Fiji and Beef, corned beef and beef products are sold in abundance in Fiji

[frangipani2124]

@theVedicStudent - Making unnecessary small BS racist talk about people you don't really know anything about. Get your head out of your arse and look around you for once. Meditate on your verdic lessons and try and follow it's principals before you open your stinky mouth and comment. Oh..and purl ease that's not your video...well unless you are Stephan and you're in the"cooking in the danger zone" series. series.

[fmoa]

why the fuck this british faggot complaining about for n why the fuck did he ever host a show about food if he bitch about other people's food..what a fag..thats why i like andrew zimmer show call bizarre food coz zimmer would eat anything,even the food he says doesnt taste right he always eat it..this british faggot needs to get kick in the mouth.

[GeneStarwind09]

@fmoa Cool story, bro.

[Oliverisahottie]

I'm fijian myself and think the guy is being a bit insensitive, taro root is fucking amazing!

[MsSalusalu]

they are not fijians they look samoan or rotuman to me but anyway you guys should try and taste our "well known fiji corned beef " its tastier and yummier !!! us fijian foods are the most tastier food all over the world..!!!!!

[TheGodfatherSahil12]

How can canned beef be sold massively in Fiji when half the population is Hindi?

[Oliverisahottie]

@TheGodfatherSahil12 Funnily enough, many Hindi people in fiji grow accustomed to eating beef.

[TheGodfatherSahil12]

@Oliverisahottie Not many, some.......

[TheGodfatherSahil12]

Looks like bear meat. They sell it in Finland, it's canned.

[CottageLife100]

" a lot of fat in there isn't it" " yes, we adding more fat!".....fat guy sitting on chair says it all lol.

[boob72]

coconut milk has saturated fat but is the medium chain fatty acid variety which is actually good for you and doesn't make you fat...the saturated fat in the corned beef however is another story.

[frangipani2124]

@TheVedicStudent - Fool - think before you comment - I don't think this is in Fiji because the Islanders Accent does not sound Fijian, and Fijians do not cook their taro & breadfruit in coconut milk - they use water. You need to go listen to your master or Krishna or whoever it is you listen to because your science says this - "The secret is controlling your tongue! If you cannot control your tongue, you cannot understand this science". You make a sucky Vedic student shiethole!

[TheVedicStudent]

@frangipani2124

Yes, I am a fool and shiethole. I admit. No wonder Fijians and Indians indulging in eating like pigs only live 40-50 years. Thanks for watching my video.

[kalara24]

@frangipani2124 hehe that's right we cook Taro and Cassava and breadfruit in water with salt. and we cook cornbeef with taro leaves or bele or anything with curry . and add coconuts milk to it. we might eat this kinder of food but we more healthier and active.

[TheVedicStudent]

No wonder these Native Fijians and Indians die so early..Look at what they are eating. These go for many pacific islanders..eat like a pig..die like a pig..

[frangipani2124]

@TheVedicStudent - Fool - think before you comment - I don't think this is in Fiji because the Islanders Accent does not sound Fijian, and Fijians do not cook their taro & breadfruit in coconut milk - they use water.

[kalara24]

@TheVedicStudent excuse me we eat this stuff we didn't die early where did you get that we die early ? my grandmother she been eating the same thing and she still alive she will 99yrs old this year and this my grand father's favorite food and he didn't passway until he turn 72yrs old. and talking about we die young.

[faryponieproductions]

i love corned beef!!!!!

[butcherofbielawa]

Its actually fairly healthy besides the animal fat/salt,chemicals in the beef .

Coconut milks saturated fat is actually a good fat (same as the cholesterol in eggs is actually very good for u and butter is 100 times better than a 'health' spread)

People are terrified of fat and saturates thanks to the media and misguided governments.

Fat doesn't make you fat calories do, that guy in the chair is fat due to more in than out corned beef or not., could be that size on pasta/rice every day .

[Yoyoyo1051]

"im adding more fat." Right after shows fat guy! lol

[OpticMouse]

"im adding more fat"

next footage is with a huge guy on chair

[679bby]

YUM!

[riverdave7]

lol im fat and hes fat too who says we arent all alike?

[Daka12s]

LOL @ 0:55

[crytuphav]

I think thats why many polynesians get sick and die, not only from obiesity, but from eating high fatty foods that cause so many health problems. plus the pig. Pig isn't very healthy.

[yerk3]

@crytuphav Pig is healthy is moderation. Most cuts are no fattier than any other kind of meat. The only reason it has a bad reputation is that it was used in the past as a source of lard, and bacon comes from pigs. Not all pork is bacon or lard. Eating chicken with the skin on will give you more fat than most cuts of pork.

[togio100]

corn beef? interesting.

I have a lot of friends and family in Hawaii, and the big staple canned food over there is Spam. I guess corn beef is kind of similar.

[l1cvas]

His stomach like a rubbish bin and he eats every kind of foods,disgusting :S

[TlGBC]

fucker

[smiggle2003]

didn't he basically just reject that meal... first he talked about the saturated fat then he said the taro has no taste than he says he isn't fan of corned beef....so he didn't like it right......only thing he needs to realise is these people can't afford it flashy stuff. respect it and eat it humbly

[yerk3]

@smiggle2003 That's not the impression I got at all. I saw an honest description of how the food tasted.

[nilbud]

@smiggle2003 You idiot that was a greasy pile of disgusting mush.

[mybox1500]

LOL "im adding more fat!"

[seruppadi]

The producer must have been like:

"Ok, show the footages where they talk about saturated fat and the fat in the beef.

Cut and now show the fat guy -- John -- who's resting on an incliner."

hahaha

[Commandos12]

@seruppadi lmao i lol'd so hard while and after reading your comment

[SHCmateo]

DIS AINT FIJI _DIS IS TONGA

[EliteBusJr]

High Cholesterol Food!

[coolhaidar]

haha can they over kook WTF!

[cowboysucc]

not a fan of cornedbeef? he must be a commi.lol

[TlGBC]

what?? fuck you!

[clef05]

at first the taro was tasteless, but after he had a go at the corned beef he wanted the taro on its own lol.

see what happens after rice and dahl evry day for a month lol

[nofx1091]

i love taro!

[applesauceisfun]

yum

[justinvai07]

ive seen that video ur talking about Ana.

that shits gross!

[whaNauAna]

..far-out,corn beef and taro and coconut cream is no danger zone meal,chinese animal massacre pain inflicted meat is more danger zone,those pricks are barbaric,the animals 4 paws are butchered then it indures 5mins of kicked and stomped around the head,keeping it alive its then hung upside down by its hinds like a sheep and skinned alive and thrown on a pile of others dying slowly also,the adrenaline from the pain makes the meat sweet

[UKZoe]

Part of the cooking in the danger zone series was the LOCATIONS he was cooking in not just the food. I would resume with these episodes that the location was more of an issue.

[glnlake]

Corn beef breadfruit and dasheen....das lucian food

[flowgrr24]

how is taro root and coconut in the "danger zone"? ... nor are they difficult to come by like that pizza video

[monetg]

Maybe the danger in this food is all the fat. Taro leaves are nasty if you don't cook them for long enough. They have raphides - needle-like crystals of calcium oxalate- that are extremely painful when eaten (trust me, I've had it). Cooking destroys the raphides, but you really have to boil it to death.

[flowgrr24]

how is taro root and coconut in the "danger zone"? they're not foods that are really considered "taboo" or generally displeasing to the Western culture. A lot of people probably haven't even heard of "taro" or even know what a coconust looks like before being hacked at.

[FlowingGeisha]

I love coconut milk.
