Focus on the Surrealist Vegetable

[taariqtaariq]

if you don't cook this correctly it is hard to eat it without gagging. You Brits have such non sun damaged complexions.Many 'Goris' here in Oz are BBQ'd by the sun !!

[zacattack214]

I love all of these videos.

[geargeeky]

You can find in any asian market and it's very healthy. People use it all over INDIA in their recipes in diffrent forms. I do not like it but I know it's very healthy and very bitter. My mom finds creative ways to introduce this vegetable. If you use it regularly you will never have Diabetes or atleast you will be able to control it.

[Eliseharris]

Yes it seems that it is very effective in treating things like diabetes and auto-immune diseases.

丝瓜

[procyonuk]

where do you get these vegetables from?? curse your apparently fantastic market! I've never even heard of it :P

easily the best and funniest series on youtube :)

[Eliseharris]

Mostly from a magical land of wonder called Peckham!

[uncleshylock]

This is a very interesting video to watch when you are drunk.

[jamesfletcher76]

Elise I think your on to something with vegetable videos you might want to think about expanding them into a whole cookery program!. You have the whole upper class totty look and mannerisms down to a tee the classical music fits perfectly and your ridiculous vegetable facts give us a glimpse of where your comedic talent is coming from. I for one would love to see you on TV doing this stuff its easily the most enjoyable stuff you do and I think it will be the making of you

[Eliseharris]

Thanks very much! I am well behind on my Youtube catching up so I have just seen this comment.

[Marleyblandford]

LOL, good video!

[alucard040394]

HAHA! I love when it moves at the end, but when it looks at the camera it has eyes! You are going to have to bury it ontop of an old indian burial ground to break the curse. Or put it back in a tree.

[kajusz931]

hahahahahahha "fiften!!" XDDDD

[Aphanes]

This is a fake. If it really was a Surrealist vegetable, it would look like a clock. It looks more like a Pointillist vegetable to me, but less spotty. I hope I've made my point.

[khodyer]

lol! thats hilarous! i love the lst bit

[gibbsy13]

this is ur best video so far !

[Eliseharris]

Thank you. It was fun doing the bit at the end.

[ha5h]

Karela is also very famous dish in pakistan...

Karela+minced beef mostly....

and..yea this is true that it cures a lot of diseases!...

Old skool chemist recommends it a lot...

and hmmn..if not cooked properly, it is very bitter :P!

[Eliseharris]

I hear it is a panacaea. I think, as with most of these vegetable videos it's a case of 'find the fact'! There are some true things in [almost] all of them. Not much mind!

[HolaBunny]

That's the funniest one you've made. xD

[ColinKraut]

Brilliant I have been laughing and enjoying your videos all morning and not getting any work done all day. Thanks.

[Eliseharris]

Thanks. Hurray for laughing! I hope you manage to get all your work done eventually!

[UK2007AAC]

Ignore lecomte99 - i don't think he understands why you kept the appearance so bland.

[Eliseharris]

Thanks for the encouragement - and thanks for subscribing too.

[lecomte99]

so boring... at least have some better light... background... script... make up... anything... rather pointless recording all that timewasting stuff!

[AtomInfiltrators]

Which one won the BBC focus magazine competion in the end?

[Eliseharris]

Don't know - as it wasn't me I decided not to torture myself by finding out. I can be bitter like a karela.

[Larkall]

HAHAHAHA GOLDEN!!!

[JeremygT]

:). Love the music I saw that being played at St. Martins in The fields once.

[Toxicweed]

it says 578 here

[Eliseharris]

Yeah - it moved up. Now every one is emailing me and telling me it 'says 578 for them"! Heh. It's moving but it's still not right. Says 578 for me too.

[Toxicweed]

i think it only updates every so many hours or mins now

[Eliseharris]

Yeah - but my recent other videos are registering views straight away. There are still some that don't though.

[xxDanceTubexx]

I saw your bulletin. Says 554 on my end, and a clever way to get more views btw. But don't worry hun, I know you didn't mean it like that. Just an observation. And the karela: remains of a fossilized caterpillar? I learn something new each day; thanks for that =) As for the counter, I suggest try clicking "More from this user" at the right hand side. Usually that view counter is more recently updated than the one that appears under the video comment section. Hope this helps hun

[Eliseharris]

No - it's still showing up as 554 all over - in my my videos section, on the video - everywhere. A lot of my videos do this and it seems a bit suspect to me. If this is happening on a site wide scale (and it's been happening to me for months) then when the revenue sharing thing comes to pass it won't really be very fair for people!

[Eliseharris]

Also - pretty pointless 'getting more views' if I can't tell if I have got more views. Still says 554 !

[4ofSwords]

Bitter Melon, careful with that one, very bitter, very dangerous, especially in England.

[LifeJourneyGuy]

Your vids are just SOOOO entertaining Elise!!!! Please continue the series!!! :)

[speedcrayzy]

whoa* that karela looks like an Onchidiid crawling!

[debdazzy]

This is by far the ugliest one of all LOL 5/5 No Doubt regards D.

[shriv2]

I'm not as green as I'm karela looking.

[marysiak]

It's a sea cucumber!

[Eliseharris]

Yes - it's very dangerous when wet.

[marysiak]

I thought about entering the competition but I couldn't think what to do.
