  • Today I decided to make another user request- Jack's infamous "Garbage Stew." This one was more challenging than I thought it would be.
    Thanks everyone for watching and for your great comments!
    Music used is from Final Fantasy Tactics.

    This is somehow sadder to watch than Jack’s version. All those ingredients looked fresh and delicious on their own, and they had to be subjected into a witch’s cauldron. Jack is either batshit insane or one CZcams’s greatest trolls. There’s no way anyone could just dump all those things into a crockpot and think they were getting something good.

    • @lucretialee3691
      @lucretialee3691 Před rokem +53

      There are better ways. I grew up on a lot of homemade veg soups, and a dish called Scouse, which was made of leftover root veg and some cubed up meat (beef, lamb or mutton). Where Jack's garbage stew goes wrong is putting pickled and tined food in and adding the beer. Another good way of using up any cooked meat is to dice it finely, add it to some boiled potatoes then mash up the potatoes like you usually would. Pop under the grill for a reheat and crust, and you can eat it as either a side dish or a main one.

    Maybe replacing sweet potatoes with regular taters, pickled jalapenos with ground up dried ones, beer with just water (smaller amount and some butter added), omitting the lime, and using some proper seasoning could make it not as bad? I'm not American, so I had to search what Cajun spice mix is, and there's nothing out of the ordinary there, but if the store-bought mix has salt in it, you can't really control the ratio of salt and spices.

    This kind of reminds me of the days of living off of "trash casserole". We didn't have much food in the house during a period after my parents got divorced and what we did have wasn't enough to make a meal out of, so I invented something just to have something to eat where I threw whatever ground meat was in the freezer into a pan with whatever noodles and frozen vegetables we had. At the time I didn't really season it with anything other than pepper because we didn't have those in the house either. We were so hungry that we didn't notice how really bland it was, but at least even then I made something far more edible than this.

    First time viewer and damn, that's some dedication there. It does really show just how little skill, if any, Jack truly has.

    The flavours and textures must be just all over the place. I can't imagine cooking it. I'd hate to waste the food. You could use all those ingredients so much more effectively to make some tasty meals.

    I felt so sorry for each and every one of those ingredients.
