 I've heard when it comes to venereal diseases the wealthy people are so wealthy they don't get crabs, they get lobsters. Do you have a preference to lobster versus crab? I like them both. Yeah, I don't eat them. Because if you get Alaskan king crab legs that are big mama jambas, they're pretty comparable. But I don't, I mentioned this before, I don't like eating things that look like they're alive self and so breaking open the crab leg is not something I enjoy doing. Oh, gotcha. I have had both and I love both. They're both delicious. They are delicious. I actually... I don't like doing that. I've had, just like I don't eat eating the wing off the bone. I don't like doing it. Oh, so it's the same kind of deal there. Same thing. I don't like doing it. So the lobster out of the tail would be easier than the crab out of the leg. No, the legs were pretty easy to get to meet at. No, I meant as far as you being able to mentally get beyond it. No, I think the legs are easier than the legs. The leg is easier. Yeah, I would say that with Alaskan king crab legs they're massive. They're massive. It's a great place down your Long Beach called Captain Jacks that makes... Captain Jake Sparrow. Incredible crab legs. Anyway, what are we doing today? We're doing a food video. Yeah! Oh, that worked out perfectly. This is a Chennai Amazing Street Food Tour. Great. It's a very interesting and mouthwatering tour of street food in parts of Chennai. They have covered some nice food joints. Maybe we'll help you... Yes. Help you in your food tour visits in Chennai. Many of you stupid babies have been messaging and commenting on things regularly and asking one of you guys coming back to India, one of you coming to Calcutta, we'd love to. Do you know what world we live in right now? We're not allowed in. Ever, literally two weeks after we got home from the last trip, which was in March of 2020, e-visas were no longer issued to Americans to come in and that's been that way ever since. So once India starts allowing us back in as tourists, we'll come back. It's not just India. No, no, no. It's not just India. It's all over the world. Here we go. We're in Chennai, India, and this place has the most incredible food. So we're taking you on a huge food hunt today. Are you British? We're hunting down Chennai's biggest street food and some local animals to bring you some mouthwatering Indian street food. This video is part of our huge India series and we're exploring some of Chennai's most dynamic spots to bring you the best food of the city. That looks like a Uriani with what? It has some kind of sour cream. Uriani is one of this amazing food. I'm Thomas. I'm Ashina. You're very tasty. We hope you're hungry. Let's eat. I am. I am hungry. Actually, I'm hungry, yeah. Remind me of the scene in Uriani. This part of the beach is lined with this restaurant so let's go and get some fried fish. Oh, that's going to be amazing. I don't like that. Look at that sizzle. Now I'm going to watch fried fish for dinner. Long John Silver's. Yeah, Long John Silver's. I've heard of that a long time. These stalls are brilliant. They're covering the beach. It's really beautiful down here. Cheers. All over the sand. You just sit on the sand, put in your order and your fish comes out. And the fish is all lined up in little cabinets in front of the stalls. And there's a pretty good variety. So we've ordered a mackerel which has been fried and some anchovies. Some little whole anchovies. Both of those have been covered in spice. They were already marinated in some spice. When they went on to the hot plate, they got covered in a dry spice mixture but were really covered in that dry spice mixture. And then a ton of oil was thrown on to the hot plates as well. Then they just been left to shallow fry in that oil. And then it's particularly the mackerel that was really lining up around the side of the hot plate. And you can see the little bird inches on the tail. So there was a lot of heat going on. I've never had a fish that looks like a fish. Anchovies first. And both of these come with some fresh red onion and a little sauce for the mackerel. I don't think they're just talking about the tail connecting. Put some lime on to these anchovies. Give it a little bit of a zing. That's probably the worst red onion. Like a grab leg or a pet. That's the worst red onion. Also I don't really like fish that much. So sorry. Wow. The fish was like the white grotto sauce. Of course I prefer the texture of the anchovies because all the bite is just not enough. I don't think I've ever had an anchovie, to be honest. So you get a little... You have to be careful. You've got to be careful with the anchovies. And the outside is a little bit crispy. It's all that spice. From the camp? No, it's not. I think sardines are better out of the camp than anchovies. Inside it's just super soft still. So it's really well cooked. Put some more. I think a big handful of these at once is the way down. It's delicious. A little bit spicy from the chilli. Just a little bit of the fresh, mild spice. The fresh sweetness, the unenjoyable sweet. The limes, if you'd get here, if you were the saladist. A little bit of the hoisin' bay snap. Wow, that was a good bay snap. You want to try the mackerel. You're going to rip off some of this mackerel. So it's a very oily fish. So it should be really moist flesh. Wow, that peeled off so easily. It's boiling hot. Put some onion on there. Squeeze a lime all over it. Let's get that done. This flesh feels really, really crispy. It's about eating fish with a bit of skin. So it's really crispy in the flesh. It's really juicy. Wow. Oh yeah. That was amazing. Really, really lovely. A little bit of crunchiness on that flesh. Oh, the skin. Can't get my fish and skin rough. And then the flesh is just super, super juicy. Onions again, a little bit of freshness and crunch. The spice mix is great. It's really gritty. It's a really thick spice mixture. So it's got a good bit of chilli kick. But it also adds texture, which I really like. It's adding a bit of crunch to the fish. Now I'm loving that mackerel. This is giving it the best. So good. Another big handful there. A little bit oily. Put some onion. Oh man. The taste of those and the location. Put that together. The sound of the ocean behind you. The waves crashing on the beach. Being in the sand. That flavour just... Nobody ever sees flavour in us. The good spice. This is the perfect, perfect combo. What cool thing do you have to do in general is sit on the beach and eat this fresh fish, throw it on the hot plate. It's a huge queue. So let's go and do it on the line and grab our passers-by. Whoa. Up there at Eatery there's a separate line for women so I was able to buy passers whole queue and just cut my order through. So I've got my ticket. I'm going to grab a plate of banana leaf. Why? Just to be nice. Big looking banana leaf. How good does this thing look? It looks amazing. And it's just piles of rice as you can see. And then huge bits of juicy looking banana leaf. There's also some tomato in there and a ton of spices. I would eat that. But it's huge. And they're loading up banana leaves. This is Don Beriani. So the meat is marinated and then cooked together with the rice over a slow heat. I have got to get it to the stand. So that's good. Look. I've got a beautiful dextra. And it's just a really beautiful fragrance. I'm going to show you just how tender this meat is. So look, I'm barely prodding it and it's just falling apart. It's coming clean off the bone. Look at that. Clean off the bone. Wow. Definitely think they're pretty. Tomato, tomato. So good. A beautiful. Like in bucket. I've got that great. Oh, man. Oh, man. The curd is like creamy and sort of softened the flavor. It sort of drowns out that spice. That's good. It's kind of destroying this flavor of Beriani. And I can't tell you how much it is. So I mean it, about half of it and it's not starchy. The rice is really light in texture and the meat off the meat. Check out this piece here. It's got a beautiful coating of fat there which just melts in your mouth when you eat it. I'm just going to pull it apart. Look at these bones. They just fly out of it. Look at these bones. Okay. It's got a piece of this meat that melts in your mouth and you've got that tender meat. The rice is a little bit of bite still and the flavor of all those spices and this is what we were eating. Most people seem to be taking the Beriani area where it's impossible but we're eating it and it's just this kind of room we're all cleaning up against the counter and just chopping down this Beriani area. Ooh. And check out the crowd over here. It's going in our next snack. Next stop is this restaurant for some South Indian snacks. We at South Indian snacks in Delhi. South Indian breakfast in Delhi. That makes sense, right? I did it. It's a South Indian restaurant. They serve their food in the traditional way. It's a banana leaf. So they dump the banana leaf on your table and then lay it up really rapidly. They just come flying at you and dump all the chuckings on your plate. This makes me miss eating it in there. The thing we came here to eat was gorgeous. It's a great meal. We decided to get a raw dosa which is this humongous looking dosa filled with chilies. Underneath there there is an idly hiding just a little raw dosa to see. What? That was rude. Okay. We just ended. Felt like I just got slapped virtually. I guess it went to breakfast as opposed to street food. And here's a really nice idly. I've made idly. How did it turn out? It turned out nice. So I have an idly stand. So it's a specific stand for cooking the idly. Just idly. It's an entire thing that you put because you steam them. I literally have a contraption. It's literally just for idlies. And it takes up so much room. But yeah, they're delicious. What I was going to say was you want to be impressed. You should watch Andrani and probably any Bengali eat fish. Because the way she can navigate through and eat the meat and leave the bones behind is a work of art. It's a work of art. I've eaten fish with her and I look down and she's still all intact. So you've never eaten a fish with the head on, the fins? I absolutely wouldn't. It seems gross to me. That's how they came out of the water. But it's the same thing with the lobster and whatever. Have you ever been fishing and killed fish and then eaten the fish you killed? I didn't specifically cook the fish myself. But when they did it they chopped the heads off and the tails. They did it on the boat. When I was a child in Hawaii I caught a big ol' makimahi about that big. So you wouldn't eat fish head? I'm so sorry. I don't like fish. Although I have had some good fish because in my older age I will try almost anything. Because I'm like I don't think I'm that picky but there's a few things. You're definitely not a picky eater. The taste of stuff that is fishy is the texture. But if a fish tastes fishy I could vomit. So do you like oysters? I think I had one of my dad's who had a fancy restaurant when I was in South Carolina a month ago. It was good. That was probably the first time I ever had an oyster. You would like textured though. It's like a snot ball. It's a little slimy. But if you get really good oysters because there's a lot of different oysters around. The more expensive or fresher a fish is the better it is. And the less fishy it will taste. I didn't like sushi but I've gone to sushi restaurants with my family and they all love sushi. And for the most part there's still some fish on sushi that I can taste it even though they can't. It literally makes you want to vomit. That flavor and then artificial cherry flavors repulsing. In the drinks they have waxy candied cherries. I had to test those. I think they're nasty. I feel like I'm eating something 100% artificial never should have occurred but fish man. Of those two things as much as I like mutton biryani if I had to choose between those two if we were there I'd be at the beach. I know you'd be at the biryani, I'd be over at the beach. Mutton biryani on the beach but not the biryani from the film biryani. Anytime I see somebody making biryani like out in the open I'm like I want to see more I want to see more of that actress and she was so good. She was so good. Let us know what are the food videos we react to and wherever we come we're coming to South India so probably Chennai will be in that stop. It's a massive town Thanks for eating there. Let us know what we should eat down below.
