Giant Pocky / Giant Mikado

- A Pocky or a Mikado depending on where you get them from are thin chocolate coated biscuit snacks, apparently named after the Japanese onomatopoetic word pokkin! Here in the UK they tend to be called Mikado and they come in so many different flavours, I love them, they are very addictive, but how about we try to make gigantic ones!?

Fancy having a Barrathon with some more giant food? Here's the giant food playlist czcams.com/video/Twm9MY8s7YA/video.html and if you want to try these the full recipe / write up is here barrylewis.net/recipe/giant-pocky-giant-mikado/ I hope some of you try the daim bar ones!
So how much butter in your birthday cake recipe??? I'm so sad I couldn't bake it
If you mix the gel food colouring with a tiny bit of vegetable oil it stops it from seizing up the chocolate
We can get ours at the local oriental mart. I prefer the Pretz, myself.
Barry Lewis could you do a giant pop tart on your channel
It’s on website now sorry
Like everybody else--I really think Pocky are more like biscuits than bread sticks 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah I thought he would have used a biscuit dough or even a un salted pretzel dough and honestly bread with chocolate on it sounds not the best 😂
Huh, I always thought the 'baton' was biscuit not bread...
They are biscuit.... You can make something similar to a pie crust (flour, butter, pinch of salt, bit of sugar and milk) or you can make shortbread and then coat them in chocolate.
Same
I always thought it was a breadstick..?
It’s definitely more cookie stick than bread stick but whatever. Maybe he’ll try it again! They make banana Pocky too, which I actually kind of like.
@@Laura_Darkspear yeah cause they always reminded me of that choc dip stuff in the pot? And those are super breadstick-y
Already seen a bunch of other comments mentioning this, but I'd be interested to know why you chose to make a Mikado with a yeast based dough instead of a biscuit/shortbread dough? It's easier to roll into shape, it will have the snap/crumble and you'd probably have a more authentic taste.
Mikado :
• the biscuits;
• the game;
• the title of a Gilbert and Sullivan
opera...
But first of all, it was the title given to the person at the top of the feudal japanese hiarchy, the emperor of Japan.
Fun fact: Mikado is an obsolete term for the Emperor of Japan. The 19th century opera, The Mikado, refers to the Emperor.
Fun Fact: In Korea, they have their own brand of the stuff, called Peppero. And without having any flavor that involves peppers.
Also, both Pocky and Peppero use a crisp sugar biscuit as their base, not bread.
Barry! Every time I watch you knead or roll out bread dough, it makes the baker in me go crazy! You would be sooooo much happier with the results if you didn’t put down as much flour on your work surface. Remember: cooking is an art; baking is a science. When you add all that excess flour to your dough, it not only gives you a drier crumb, it upsets the balance of salt and sugar to flour. Much better to toss down a small amount of flour and add more flour as needed if the dough sticks to the surface.
arent they suppose to be crunchy those just look like normal bread with chocolate
exactly @@CallieMasters5000
I should have checked the comments before replying, that's basically what I just said.
I reckon they're actually pretzel sticks, minus the salt.
Barry should do a giant version of a Milky Way Crispy Roll 🤤
1 hour of that strong flour joke and amy's judging face on loop please 😂😂😂
Hearing your little daughter say stonking made me laugh out loud, it was adorable. She reminded me so much of you in that moment, like a little mini-Barry. :)
They don't snap :( it's not a real Pocky if it doesn't snap, that's what they are named for "pokkin" is the snap sound they make when you eat it.
Well I think the “bread” part is in fact more of a giant pretzel stick than a soft bread, but looks good anyway
Yes “ The Mikado” is a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. Plus we call them Pokey here in Aus
The Mikado was one of my Mom's favorite musicals, mine too! We had the album and would sing along ;-)
@@nancydan1234 it was my dad's favourite.
Do we have them in Australia I've never heard of them
@@darrongalway9821 Sold at Woolworths, Coles, and any Asian shop...especially GnL shops.
Are you sure a Mikado is bread?, it tastes more like a rich tea/butter biscuit to me.
I could definitely see these being sold at fairs & boardwalks. Maybe wrap the non chocolate end with some waxed paper for a cleaner hold.
Hahaha As soon as you said "take" when adding the yeast & water I started singing Broken Wings and it is now stuck in my head, lol.
The pink Mikado looks like something you should store in your top drawer of your bedside drawers lol
Barry: holding firecrackers
Me: I hope he means sparklers?
I don't care if you used bread instead of biscuit. Your kids enjoyed what you made, they're exactly what you set out to make and they look great. Keep it up Barry.
Here they are "Pepero" by Lotte.
Also simply "bread straw" or "pretzel straw".
Regular bread is too soft for this. Breadsticks could've been perfect for this.
Your videos are so great, they help to learn how to cook! Keep making them because your videos make everyone laugh! 😂
Barry you should've used instead of a bread recipe i would've gone with something closer to a biscotti since it'd have more crunch and structure to it.
Pretty sure you could simulate a large toaster by putting the pop tart close to the heating element of an oven
Maybe you can use an electric grill as an giant toaster 🤔 it‘s basically the same thing.
Where else on CZcams can you see a husband and wife dueling with pocky.
Biscuits are biscuits because “bis cuit” French for baked again (for a 2nd time). So toast the bread sticks and try again, to get something which is more like a mikado/pocky/pepero.
I'm not usually a huge fan of pugs, but I love yours! Their apathy is funny. They should have their own Garfield type cartoon.
To mimic the crisp/crunch of the baton you could have tried making something like biscotti
My daughter-in-law is Japanese. I'm going to make these for her birthday. Thanks Barry!!
Dawn Magee don’t bother they aren’t bread
@@seufa6860 maybe I can make them with a sugar cookie dough...
Dawn Magee yup, that’ll work out better😁
I imagined a giant package using those italian crunchy bread sticks (they are flavorless for the most part) covered in chocolate. Those would probably have been easier and prettier. But still good job either way! :D
Baguettes = Biscuits apparently, the more you know ;)
No.
For a giant toaster you could use chicken wire or some kind of metal fencing. To heat both sides possibly use a blow torch or call in Colin Furze
Chocolate seizes 😂 milk curdles Barry
The Mikado is a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, one of their better known works, and is set in Japan. Fyi ;)
Barry you just made me order a box of ten strawberry Pocky off Amazon! I only got them once but loved them, just couldn't resist after seeing this!
To quote Shrek 2 "A DIET IS RUINED! I hope you're happy."
Sorry lol
i remember there were commercials in the 80s for these and they did play mikado with them, so i do think they in deed had the game in mind while creating those.
I’ve been watching this channel from the start, and I love re-enacting these amazing recipes in my own kitchen, (or try to 😆) and my favorite series on this channel definitely has to be the giant food series!!!
ive been watching you for years, you're always fun, lighthearted and just easy to watch, I love your videos
But did it get the biscuity crunch that the sticks normally have, because it looked soft like bread when you bit into it?
Kinda does
Holy cow, that cookie and cream one looked INCREDIBLY suggestive.
Would a giant toaster not just be the grill?
Hope the pugs have been coping ok with the heatwave we've been having
Like all the other commenters said its more like a biscuit/cookie/pretzel than bread!
Ok, never mind what ever that is that you just made, I want everything that was left on the tray!!! EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
In South Africa the closest thing we have to pocky are pretzels dipped in chocolate, they’re called, stickzels- “Choc Stick”
Love that you still call them DIME bars.
In South Africa this is called chocolate dipped pretzel sticks. You can get it with milk or white chocolate.
I thought the pocky was a biscuit (cookie) dipped in chocolate not bread...huh the more you know
Here in the USA we have different flavors we have strawberry, vanilla, and the original chocolate!
Giant Jelly Baby? Giant Afternoon tea? Giant potato chip? Giant M&M?
Barry if your thinking about a giant pop tart do it with biscuit dough and that’s what I would do
GIANT Pop-Tart toaster oven is your oven. Just place GIANT Pop-Tart pastry on a bare oven rack in center of the oven and bake.
I've heard of and tried pocky but never heard of mikado
I live in Ireland btw, it's called pocky here as far as I know 🇮🇪❤️
It's Pocky here in Western Canada, too.
You might know it as Pocky but it's sold as Mikado in Ireland according to Wikipedia.
You could use your oven on a grill setting as a giant toaster or use a panini press, that hasn't got individual molds or indentations for toasting the giant pop tarts.
Mikado is an Irish strawberry marshmallow and jam biscuit with coconut flakes
It is, yeah
Yeah they're called Pokey sticks here in America we have strawberry cookies and cream vanilla chocolate coffee and caramel as well as some tea flavored
Someone might have said it but for a giant pop tart could you grill it on both sides in the oven
Mikado is an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan.
The Mikado is an Operreta it is sometimes referred to as a musicals and is a G&S.
Suggestion for a big toaster, maybe Colin Furze could help? :-D
That was exactly the thought that popped into my head too.
Mark Smith
I’d rather see Percy spencer help
Inventor of the oven
Now that would be a cool Colab !
I was thinking it would just be a rolling welded cooling rack rig you'd trundle into one of those bays they use to heat-cure paint on a car. You could collab with Top Gear on that one.
When I do homemade Pop tarts I make them in the oven. Two sheets of short crust filled your choice of yummy goodness. I like chocolate, just snap off a piece of a plain chocolate bar and it melts when baked. My son loves strawberry jelly with peanut butter frosting.
Those look like "salt sticks" that were served in all parties at 90's, but coated with chocolate. At least in Finland they were... Those are dry bread sticks with a little coarse salt on top.
Giant toaster.... Sounds like a job for Colin Furze and his inventions
Lottie nice you watch him too
As a suggestion about a giant pop tart, you could use a toaster oven to toast it. I guess it might not be really giant, but still much bigger than normal.
Wouldn’t the giant toaster you’re looking for be an oven? Just chuck it in there on broil for a few minute
Yep- The Mikado is a musical by Gilbert and Sullivan.
A toaster sized for a giant pop tart is usually referred to as an oven
Your videos ALWAYS brighten my day!
sainsburys usually do green tea pocky around chinese new year
Usually bring in, not do. You can get it year round elsewhere.
I wonder if a pretzel dough would have made it have the snap, too? Like, those mini snack pretzels you can get. Maybe without the lye because of the color? Does the lye affect the consistency tho? hmmmm
Edit: Or biscuit maybe? Like a shortbread?
Love the channel and the content Barry! Always love watching your videos every morning before work!
Thanks for always putting in hard work and making me laugh.
Thanks mate
Oh I love these sticks!
We need to spread the word to get Barry to his first million subscribers
Pocky is a snack food produced by Ezaki Glico. Pocky was first sold in 1966, and were invented by Yoshiaki Koma. They consist of chocolate-coated biscuit sticks - Pocky wikipedia
Chocolate covered baguette...no thanks.
challenge- Giant Terry’s Chocolate Orange haha
With a Gallagher sized hammer to whack!
In the US we also have Matcha flavored as well.
I got a job Barry, I'm back to watching your awesome creations at breaks. Also, did we knead all those strong flour cut scenes? Yes! Did we want that many? double Yes! Love all your work Barry!
I thought they were like a pretzel dipped in choc
Beat you to it about 2 years ago. I made a giant pretzel stick and covered it with chocolate and home made matcha chocolate. However mine were only 12 inches long.
It’s called Pocky here in the states. They sold the chocolate and strawberry ones at my high school
Giant pop tart without a toaster. No problem, just us a culinary torch or put it in the oven under a broiler.
I literally love this channel! All of your videos are so original and thought out!! Keep up the good work😊
If you go to the Asian section in Sainsbury’s they have poki
Happy you're doing well to !
Cooking mama vibes at 3:45 LIVING FOR IT
Nooo he replaced the biscuit with breadstick👀😩
Want Crisp bread??
Dry it...leave it out in a dry house, and let it Dry..it gets REAL crunchy...Easy to moisten and make back to bread.. But its great for Choco dipping..
Which is great for Fondue..
IKEA in Northern Ireland always have daim bars
I'd go so far as to say the delivery device in question is more like a pretzel, that either biscuit or bread.
I love having a Barrathorn 😂 and greeting from South Africa 😄
Well now..... I might have to make something like that for Christmas!!
Giant pop tart sounds amazing
You need to colab. With Colin Furze in a giant toaster for a giant Pop Tart!!! That would be an epic video I'd love to see
The only thing you can add to chocolate is coloured cocoa butter anything else I.e. food colouring or flavouring you will dilute the chocolate and it won’t set properly sort of like make a chocolate ganache in a way
Barry why would you need a gaint toaster if some people use there grill for toast
Barry if you want to do a giant-sized Pop-Tart why not just use the oven as the toaster put it on a low setting and watch it to make sure that it doesn't do anything more than just toast
Really wanna taste these now
I really want to try that mix of all the chocolate that collected on the tray underneath.
