I wonder how a recipe for Slurm would be like. That'd be a fun idea for a Futurama themed party, popplers and Slurm. For some reason, I imagine Slurm tasting like a lemon-lime and green apple mix.
I always saw poplers as a combination of fried shrimp and tater tots, the coating made of shredded potatoes.
This is the Babish content I miss! Not that the newer content and hosts aren't great, but this definitely felt like a classic episode.
Even though fry and bender describe them as shrimp and prawns. Since they are omicronian which are scaly I always kinda guessed they were like fried Gator.
Fun fact: much like toilet water and gravity, the meaning of shrimp vs prawn is the other way around in Australia. Shrimp being freshwater and not used for much besides fish bait, and prawns being saltwater and commonly consumed for Christmas lunch when it’s stinking hot.
It does indeed look tastier than an unguarded penguin's nest
I genuinely appreciate how this episode also functioned as an example toward the different types of frying and breading. Gonna have to save this next time I'm experimenting in the kitchen!
Just whipped off a batch and let me just say…
Futurama is just one of those shows that never failed to impress, truly Groenings greatest creation
I was thinking these would be more of a "shrimp nugget" or a shrimpy hush puppy rather than a whole fried shrimp. Like a chicken nugget, they'd be ground/chopped and formed into a patty or ball, then breaded and fried. You could add all kinds of interesting additions like green onions or shredded cabbage to the ground shrimp mix. Plus, you could stretch the amount of shrimp to a really enormous batch of Popplers.
I always imagined Popplers as a shrimp/ popcorn chicken/ fried cauliflower mix texture and flavor with a slightly crunchy fried coating.
We have this in the UK, it's called Scampi. :)
I feel like you'd want to process the shrimp too and turn them into dumpling filling. You can add other stuff to it too and make the shrimp paste more flavorful.
Fun Fact: The sound of the Hypnotoad is a recording of a turbine engine played backwards.
I was thinking ground pork rinds as the breading, or something similar.
I’m not into shrimp so popplers always remind me of popcorn chicken, and that episode makes me want some so badly
So how did those slices of bread you needed for the poppler recipe turn out?
I wasn't expecting to learn what six different kinds of fry batter are made of today, but such is life. :)
Babish making another of my 12 year old self's cravings be brought into real life, He truly is the GOAT cant wait to make these
If there was ever one cartoon food that made my mouth water without ever knowing what it would ever taste like, Popplers is it! Thank you for recreating this!
