I think the most impressive part of this video is that Miso still remembers his Neopets login info after 20 years
Apparently there were some recent policy changes with the new ownership and it's incredibly easy to get back an old account now with a little basic info, like the email the account was made with and the city/state you were in when you made the account.
I recently emailed support and got my account info back!
Yay new video! The cake was probably dense due to you mixing it for too long when adding the food colouring! When at the last step of making a cake it’s always a good idea to take it off the stand mixer and incorporate it by hand with a spatula to reduce the likelyhood of over mixing. Love your content keep up the awesome work!
That makes a lot of sense. I'll try to keep that in mind for next time! I definitely have a tendency to overmix or overcook. I think it's me trying to be thorough but in the end I just end up messing it up lol
You can't let tortillas sit around, they start to go hard not long after cooking. Watching you dump the contents into an uncooked tortilla and take a bite sent a shiver down my spine.
What's wrong with uncooked tortillas?
@@glasiseit’s nasty. Corn tortillas are never eaten raw, at least by no Mexican I know. They’re also very brittle at that stage and break easy. You have to eat them fresh off the pan and keep them warm as long as possible
Your Neopets name being SSJGohan is such a beautiful time capsule. I can totally see you being a Gohan fan too.
Gohan was awesome! His SS2 transformation was epic 💪
It was such a nostalgia blast to spot this book at the local bookstore. I just wish the recipes were more complex. I know Neopets is a family-friendly brand, but if we’re being realistic, the primary audience who will be buying this cookbook are adults looking to relive some childhood nostalgia. Maybe they could have done a variety of simple and complex recipes to suit both adults and kids.
Agreed! Either that or would having the book to include ways to elevate each recipe with extra/advanced techniques would improve it, this way each recipe could, more or less, have simple and advanced versions
a lot of these recipes are just simple in general, does make elevating them also pretty straight forward (some seasoning here, a more complicated cake base there, noodle making if you're a madman and like breathing clouds of flour, ect)
The over the top running mascara gag caught me so off guard! 🤣
I’m so nostalgic for Neopets, it’s awesome to see you covering this cookbook - I didn’t even know it existed before!
Lol I got too caried away in that scene. And I'm glad I was able to give you a bit of a nostalgia bomb. I used to be so into Neopets lol
it’s a shame the recipes weren’t that great because visually the cook book is great
Yeah I really like the vibrant design. So fun and colorful!
I can see some of these recipes going over pretty well at a party. Take the fish cake to a Halloween party, for example.
The art/theming is adorable on this one! It's always nice to see a tie-in cookbook that recreates actual food from the tie-in. There are too many that just shove referential names on things and call it a day.
Yeah they really did a good job trying to stay true to the in-game food item. I love it when themed cookbooks do that!
10:07 dont sell yourself short man! I think it looks awesome! You're doing your best and us and your neopet appreciate it!😊😊😊😊😊😊
I appreciate that! Thanks for the words of support 😊
@@MisoHungrie Always!
The cook book looks fun but the choices on the flavors in the food is very creative. Maybe the plain taste for the savory food was more for children.
Neopets was a huge part of my childhood, this is so important to me, I had no idea that they came out with a cookbook!! Very lucky that my favorite chef on youtube had it featured
Neopets! The nostalgia! Your videos are always fun. 😄 P.S. a little tip: If you have to bake two layers and you only have one cake pan (that your batter fits into) you can just bake it in there and slice it with a big knife or dental floss later.
Thanks for the tip! I was actually thinking about that but I thought the inside might be too undercooked so I just did it twice lol
I appreciate you showing us your end results and being so real with us even though it may not be exactly like in the book, it feels so relatable, and I always end up enjoying your version anyways!
I do some work with a Lebanese restaurant that serves halloumi. Par for the course on cooking, usually I order mine on the flat top just like shown for the tacos. HOWEVER. You can also pan fry it in a small shimmer of veggie oil for a different end result. Bit crispier, almost like a cheese stick. Regardless of how you cook it, we usually serve it with apricot preserve. That, and a more sweet and sour red cabbage slaw may be what your tacos need.
Thanks for the tips!
That crying scene defo caught me off guard haha
I legit saw this in the local BAM on a stand with a bunch of other themed cookbooks and I was surprised to see it. I remember Neopets being a big thing and I was amazed it's still relevant enough to get an official cookbook.
I remember when I realized I was probably never going to log in again, I put my Scorchio in the hotel because they don't lose hunger in the hotel and I figured he could be comfy at least
I should have done that to mine. Poor Scorchio 😢
I can imagine the collection of cookbooks you have at this point lol enjoy your videos!
i wish for miso videos for years to come!
Love your content man! It always make my day! You always put a smile in my face!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I may be wrong but It looked like you used precooked shrimp for the shrimp balls and that would be the reason for the texture issue 😊
Loved the crying scene! LOL you are brilliant! :)
Haha glad you enjoyed it! 😅
Bro your channel is growing at a nice rate!
Hey I just wanted to thank you, because of you I started my 14years old acc again. Pure Nostalgia❤❤❤
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You give an honest try and It makes me want to attempt stuff I wouldn’t normally. Also the skits you incorporate are cute and funny as heck.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them 😊
I WISH FOR MORE MISOHUNGRIE VIDEOS :) (my wish when you blew out the candle)
Haha, but oh my gosh you did Neopets!!! I really appreciate the video, thank you for confirming what my gut thought when flipping through it. I will probably be passing on this cookbook too. I was really hoping the recipes would be good because the artwork from the book really brought me back to my childhood! Thanks for the content it's really helpful and always a fun watch!
Wish granted! Glad I was able to help 👍
I wish for you to have a good summer, Miso!!! (also that I have a good vacation tomorrow)
I hope you have (or had) a fantastic vacation!
I wish for more videos!!!! Love the intro!
Love you! 🥰
I mean, to be fair, this cook book IS kinda more for kids taste buds in mind, so the flavors will probably be a bit more bland and "Hey this food you normally don't like is actually really tasty! And look at how it looks, how fun!" that said you should absolutely come back to these recopies in the future and try and see how you could fix them up.
Wouldn't kids be attracted to bold flavors, not bland ones?
I have never met a kid that liked any sort of cabbage, and not a whole lot that liked shrimp, at least when young, BUT I also don't know that many kids, so my experience is kinda limited. it does seem like you'd be able to really spice these dishes up on your own, so that might be what they were going for too, customizability after cooking.
@@tickledorteen oh? My five year old niece loves shrimp.
The crying scene 😂😭🤣
This is def my favorite food channel
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
This makes me want to play Ice Cream Machine so badly
My wish is we get years and years of more content ❤️
I'll work on making that wish come true!
I'm so glad that you covered this cookbook. I saw it in a bookstore a few weeks ago and it's one of the worst cookbooks I've seen. I get that it's for kids but putting cheese on top of raw asparagus is selling even child chefs short.
Wait til you learn what borovan is…
I wished for more videos from you in the future and I am pretty confident that wish is going to come true :)
More to come! 😀
Holy moly, I had no idea that Neopets have a cookbook now!
I really enjoyed the review and how you made some of the recipes and made it look like the photos.
I hope you’ll do the omelettes next someday. They were my favorite part of the games when I was a kid.
I also remember when I turned eleven years old, I asked my mom to make a peas and carrots omelette for my birthday breakfast inspired by the game.
Great video as always! What a blast into the past neopets are 🤣
I imagine the cake might have come out too dense cuz you over-mixed the batter. Oftentimes in cake recipes when you mix in the flour you want to do so just until it's incorporated. Surprised the recipe didn't specify that although maybe I shouldn't be considering how over basic the cookbook seems to be 😅. But still it looks great, you did an awesome job.
I can’t cook but i love your vids on cookbooks and seeing your cinematography
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the vids 😊
I was hoping you'd make a video on this one!
That cookbook is fairly new 🤯? Wow, I knew Neopets is still a thing, but I did not expect new media from it like a book to come out lately. Unless the company in charge of Neopets lately got plans to do new things with it and not just leave the website in its early to mid 2000s state.
Nicely made video overall 👍.
Lmfaoooo your intros are way too good
My childhood has flooded back and I remember NEOPETS to a T
Watching this while I play Neopets 🥰🥰🥰
I wish to make enough money to buy a nice house in my name 🏠
Also, SSJGohan is such an iconic name for a neopet. Pretty sure I had one as well! Haha
At one point I started to think that too but I confirmed several times that it was raw. It was just pink because it was Argentinian shrimp which is already pink and not grey when it's raw.
You're backing skills are improving young Padawan. I wish for pie. More backing powder will make a fluffier cake.
Ive always wondered why red onions and purple cabbage are basically the same color but one is called purple and the other red? Great video as always didn't even know this cookbook was a thing
Lol good question! And thanks for watching 😊
Some places like where I live call it red cabbage too. Lol. *Canada
Wow, I've never been this early before. I don't know what to say here, but i hope everyone is having a great day, and it's filled with joy! ❤
I haven't heard of neopets in ages... Damn.
I think the cake was too dense due to being overmixed when adding the food coloring. But honestly, that happens to me all the time too and i baked for my entire life by now.
One question: Will you do 'second' videos on specific cookbooks? I mean, the Avatar cookbook for example has a relatively tasty recipe for fire flakes. That video would do really good
Ahh that makes sense. Yeah I think I overmixed it since I'm often unsure of how the consistency should be. And yes I try to revisit older books with one-off videos or shorts. Unfortunately I haven't done anything from Avatar yet but I hope to soon!
I didn't know there's game like that. And now they made a cookbook.
I'm bit sad I never got into Neopets when I was a kid. The recipes in the book look so colorful and fun to make.
I wish to be able to buy and test all the cookbooks that I like 😌
11:50 funny that it's my birthday when then drops so hell ye. My wish is to get my elder scrolls cook book off the shelf and actually do some cooking from it lol.
Also Neopets is a brand that stirs ancient memories and to think they bust out a cook book and are having kind of a resurgence is wild. Fun video, and love your content!
Thank you and hope you have the happiest of birthdays! 🎂
I still have my Neopets from McDonald’s. Never expected you to make stuff from a Neopets cookbook
I love these video game cook books. I would love to see what ideas are made for other video games. Cause some have food and some don’t
I love them as well! I hope they continue to make many more
the sacred oath of neopet husbandry runs deep
The whole thing reminded me of the Pokemon cookbook in the way it is all looks, a lot of sugar and barely any taste (which for me is not a smart thing even knowing the publishers target kids because they are discovering new tastes) but you did a very good job and you definitely improved a lot since the first Pokémon cookbook ! The one-fish version makes me think of a Mario inspired design 😊
Saw the notification, instant like.
My husband and I regularly man our own tortillas and regardless of what they’re made with (corn or flour), they need to be topped and eaten RIGHT NOW. Or you can place them in a plastic bag and put them in the fridge or freeze them in said bag closed in an airtight pocket. They need to be eaten right away.
I think with how simplistic these recipes can be these can be great for expanding the pallet of the picky eater.
That's a really good point!
You know i actually am hopping when the sonic the hedgehog cook book drop i am hopping you review it. I also may just get this book just because i grew up on neopets might be fun really XD
Definitely gonna be doing the Sonic one when it comes out!
neopets is older than I am... and it's still a thing... damn...
My wish is to find my house key. I kinda need it lol.
This cookbook has a lot of appeal with its food design and colors! Pity the recipes weren't a hit. Maybe needed more testing to make them more effective. Was cool to see tho!
Edit: found em!
Texture aside, cake looks great man. Would be a great (if obscure) centrepiece for 00s theme party!
Thanks! 00's is my fav decade so I'd definitely enjoy that party
Winning a jackpot would be nice! xD
Hope your wish comes true!
@@MisoHungrie Thank you! : D
i wish that this semester will be the best one ever pls pls pls 11:54
While on Amazon a sonic cookbook and a fnaf cook book(pre order) was recommended. I like the aesthetic of retro gaming. The neopets is totally cute and colorful. time to think about if it should be on my list.
Those two are totally on my list! Can't wait for them ⏳
Nice review, as always! I gotta check on my Neopets after so long!
P.S. How do you reckon you'd go reviewing Supernatural: The Official Cookbook?
I have the Supernatural one one my list! However, it's a very long list...
I wish that the bank would hurry up and do their appraisal so I can sell the house and get on with my life.
Neopets 🥰
The cake looks like it taste good, also i found an invader zim cookbook on amazon.
Half of the comments either know and are nostalgic towards Neopets or don’t have a single clue!
Lol I'm actually surprised by how many people know about it. I thought this would have been one of my most underperforming videos haha
lol I can't even remember my user or password for neopets but it is surprising that it's still around 😂
🌠🌟I WISH YOU WOULD DO THE STUDIO GHIBLI COOK BOOK! 🌟🌠
What? No omelette? That is like the most iconic food item from the game.
I agree! But the omelette recipes just looked so plain and simple that I opted to do more interesting looking ones
@@MisoHungrie Maybe you can do another video comparing omelette recipes, both from this book and elsewhere, as a follow up? Show how simple the neopets omelets are.
I wish for an awsome birthday
I’m probably not as old as everyone else who played NEOPETS but I was born in 2004 but still I remember playing it on a computer as a kid maybe around 4-6 and now I will be 20 2024 OCT 28th so yay me
I'm gonna guess that you overmixed the cake batter- but you gave it a good try regardless! Next time I'd suggest avoiding the machines and trying to mix everything by hand, I believe you can get a better feel for it that way ;)
Good call! I'll have to keep that in mind for next time
This exists is more surprising than the food
Neopets is still legit something I dip back into from time to time, just to have a little decompressor. Make it a thing I actively interact with for a month, do some restocking, try to make some money or find a good deal on plushies, then let the guys have a month or three in the hotels on my dime.
The issue with the Wocky Tacos is the slaw; it was just mayo. A coleslaw really needs some vinegar. And the shrimpballs don't have enough egg per shrimp ratio, and they werent pulsed enough (should look like gooey paste). Its not your fault, its the recipe.
I love how this book has meat and fish dishes. Sorta implies you’re eating other people’s neopets…
I remember back in the day the jerky had the description "a tasty piece of dried...oh....oh dear..."
We had pigs back in the day. You could feed them *anything* except no meat whatsoever. Not just pork, but all meat was off-limits. Obviously because of cannibalism, but also because it could make them sick
i find it interesting that they'd choose to adapt iced fish cakes and wocky tacos as those are specifically "gross food" items on site which will make your neopet disgusted if fed to them. they're still eat them, but they certainly won't be happy about it.
Yeah I admire the creativity 😋
I'm laughing so hard at the fact that his Neopet was dying for 20 years.🤣
I'm sorry that cold tortilla made me cry, it's so bad dude
You basiclaly need to have haloumi while it is hot, otherwise it goes squeeky and not nice. Its a bit of an annoying cheese, but it can taste so good too
what food does neopets even have
guess ill learn now
Does anyone know if there's tigersquash recipes?
i wish i remembered my oldest logins
I imagine you sat down and played around for a while, even feeding your Neopets.
Wocky tacos would go great with some Wocky slush
How is that neopets hit points so much higher than everything else?
I loved Neopets when I was very young. But yeah this cookbook seems a little too off for me. Though to be fair the foods in the game were pretty wonky to begin with.
Finnally i am early
Maybe the reason the shrimp balls turned out mushy is because the shrimp were cooked, not raw? I could definitely see they were pink, and raw shrimp is gray
I bought raw Argentinean Shrimp which is already pink in it's raw state
You over mixed the cake, especially when you added the colouring, you need to only mix till incorporated
FIVE eggs in that cake?! No wonder it was so dense... D:
I wouldn't be surprised if TheOdd1sout bought that cookbook regardless of your review, given he was a fan of it alongside his Twin Sister faith
gotta say, not loving the "eating hair" theme of this book but the food still looks great
My wish is for a fish cake
One of my friends wished for an inchworm called inch
