Binging with Babish: Shawarma from The Avengers
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 04. 2018
- Joss Whedon didn't just bring dynamic characters, dazzling action, and rapid-fire quips to the MCU - he brought one character's singular hunger, a hunger that grew like a virus within the Avengers themselves. A hunger...for shawarma. Solemnly munch along in silence this week as we marvel at a carnivorous carousel and puff up some pita.

Honestly, something funny about that scene is that it isn’t necessarily totally random. During an earlier part of the fight, Tony is being thrown around, and he actually flies past the Shawarma joint. And it really is just like Tony to notice something like that while he is in the middle of a fight to the death, and just have it somewhere in his brain until he can use it.
Whedon actually went to a Shawarma joint after being burned out filming some episode of some show he worked on, the name’s on the tip of my tongue.

@@VeryCherryCherry oh lord, who else is going to come out of the woodwork to claim shawarma?
@@NadiaSeesIt I'm not making wild claims. People here take shawarma very seriously. We have a large Middle Eastern population. We have doner. We have gyro. We even have tacos al pastor. But shawarma reigns over them all.

Infinity War is a lattice-topped pie.
bulletproofblouse what type of pie
Hm. Good question. I've given it some thought and I'd have to go for sausage and apple.
Bombed Nevada sorry fam but it’s the Hanna Montana and Johnas brothers crossover
These two are the Greg and Dharma of my heart's shawarma.
Fun fact: when Tony gets sent flying down a street, about a few city blocks, if you pause or slow motion your way to the right spot, you can see a shawarma place. He had a split second to notice it, but I'm positive he saw it out of the corner of his eye, mentally logged it, and when he woke up and realized the fight was over, he was hungry, remembered the shawarma place, and figured "why not, it's on my mind, you never know when the next chance might come along, let's get some shawarma to celebrate saving the planet".
And Thor seemed to enjoy his shawarma. Nice, big chunky bites. And Cap must have had a sore jaw (Chris Evans had a beard for his next film coming in, so he had to hide it from the camera because he was far enough along on it he didn't want to spend too long growing it back).
The randomness of this fact really puts a smile on my face, and I genuinely mean it.
That's a pretty neat detail!
that's actually Chris Evans' double. that's why he's hiding his face so it wouldn't look obvious
@@aljerrixermitano9363 I am pretty sure it's him. He had some skin thing over his beard, and put his hand there so nobody could tell.
Finally, FINALLY, after some scrolling through the comments I found that apparently the “correct” way to eat this is to roll it like a burrito.
You don't roll burritos though you fold them.
It's better with laffa bread 🍞
Thanks, i've been wondering what the correct way is
Thats only if you use a lafa with oita you cut it in half and put the shawarma in the pocket
@@grahamalishis the actual shawarma bread is called kubbus
I've never seen shawarma chicken that is marinated in yogurt. Looks tasty though. Overall it seems closer to a greek gyro than middle eastern shawarma.
Thats cause it IS a gyro and not a shawarma
@@FerunaLutelou why did he write Shawarma in the title?
@mayte I don't think he made a mistake and if he did could have corrected it from now
The reason why he wrote shawarma instead of gyro is probably for the sake of consistency. The movie called this a shawarma and itd be odd to call this a gyro after showing that clip
@@officialyoudes the movie clip that babish puts in the beginning of the video. any other movie would be irrelevant in this conversation
When Babish is feeling lazy, he doesn't hand grind the spices in his homemade Shawarma. When I'm feeling lazy, I eat cold cereal. I also do that when I'm not feeling lazy.
BnaBreaker So when you're feeling extra, do you eat warm cereal?
Cold cereal. As oppose to hot cereal?
Reinis Martinsons have you not had cereal with milk thats been warmed? How have you lived life without knowing that decadence?
Warm cereal is fucking disgusting.
Skeletal Pryde cold cereal is what people call cereal, the other side is oatmeal or porridge
Babish: makes food from other country.
Person living in the foods country of origin: I’ve lived in “x” for my whole life and that’s not correct.
dude this isnt shawarma tho.... half of it is greek. what he made isnt tabbouleh (it should have less bulgur, no cucumbers, no spices, and lots of lemon), he made greek pita bread and tzaziki, and marinated the chicken in yogurt (without the random spiced it is used to make shish tawook - chicken kebabs). the reason people are mad at this is because its the equivalent to americans creating "fortune cookies" and passing them off as chinese when its a 100% american treat

There’s so many variations of shawarma. I loved the Turk döner kebab I used to eat from my stint in Germany. Very different from the Greek donner. But they all share the basic structure: pita bread (named differently according to costume), shawarma/gyros/kebab barbecue, yoghurt based dressing, regional salad and seasoning.

The biggest plothole in the entire MCU is how Tony, a billionaire who has traveled the world and enjoyed all the finer things in life, didn't even know what shawarma was.
Have I ever mentioned how nice it is that he includes his mess ups? Doesn’t shy away from it or nothin. That in itself is inspiring. Oh this master chief forgot to do something in the recipe, I no longer feel bad about my mishap in the kitchen either.

Tahini sauce is for beef shawarma and garlic sauce (thoum) is for chicken shawarma
I make the greek version of garlic sauce which is stabilized with crustless white bread, had too many problems with the Lebanese version breaking. My late husband loved garlic and would literally use garlic sauce for dipping bread in.
@@TheLittledikkins
The greek one is really sweet. The Arab one is kinda sweet too but you taste garlic more than that sugary taste.
@@yousefal-assaf2985 but they're both delicious
@@johnrankin7135
Different people, different tastes.
Personally I don't like tasting any sweetness in a meat sandwich. Makes me wunna throw up.
P.S. (unless that sweetness was coming from pomegranate molasses 🤤).
You can use tahini and toum together, on either chicken or beef shawarma, or even a beef-chicken mixture. The important part is making sure it's actual garlic sauce, not some disgusting mayo version. If your garlic sauce uses mayo, it is NOT real garlic sauce.
everyone in the comments is like "this isn't shawarma" and "you're not supposed to eat it like a taco" but there are no comments saying what exactly shawarma is and how you are supposed to eat it
THE ANSWER SINCE THERE ARE HELLA REPLIES (edit 2): the most commonly agreed on thing is that real shawarma is more akin to a burrito (or a cone), not a taco like babish made/ate. the inside is a meat of your choice (most common red meat is beef, most common white meat is chicken) and the toppings vary depending on the middle eastern country; some say a garlic sauce, pickles, and potatoes, some say none of that and maybe ketchup or hummus
edit: if you're not going to reply to this answering my question don't bother replying, I will report you otherwise I'm tired of the argument going on
His bread is small it’s supposed to be wrapped and eaten like a burrito
I have heard this dialoque somewhere
Shawarma can be either chicken or meat.
In the chicken it's served like a burrito with garlic sauce, French fries, chicken slices, pickles, and lettuce all wrapped by thin Arabic white bread.
In the meat its served with tahina sauce, tomato slices, pickles, meat slices again wrapped by white Arabic bread.
Its often drunk with fruit smoothies to go with.

For the tahini SAUCE that is typically served with Lebanese shaworma is tahini paste mixed with crushed garlic, salt, lemon juice/citric acid, and water. It should thicken into a nappe, and goes really well with shaworma, falafel, seafood kebabs, and used as a condiment for vegetarian dishes. Topping it with straight tahini is like eating a straight peanut butter sandwich, you always gotta chase it with milk lol.
0:07 that scene was filmed after the movie premiered. Chris Evan's was in the middle of Snowpiercer's production,so he had a beard when they filmed that scene,which is why he has his fist over his face.

3:11 Heh! That clip is from the Basics with Babish intro, its funny that it wasn't even FROM that series
Fun fact: the line tony said was improvised
And the reason why Chris Evans has his hand over his face is because the scene was filmed much later and he had grown facial hair for another role.
ForeverRanger 91 He also was wearing a wig in that scene. Don't know why but I heard he is
It's for Snow Piercer, I believe.
I think his line about Dr Strange and balloon animals was improvised as well.
Based on a sketch he did.
King Crimson he wears a wig in all the movies
Fun fact: Chris Evans hides his face in the scene because he was growing a beard for another role and the director called them all in months after the movie was shot
I heard it was like the weekend before the actual premiere lol
Second fun fact: it's not just that he had the beard, they attempted to fasten a "prosthetic jaw" to cover the beard, it looked super weird and unnatural, so instead of CGI-ing it later Chris just covered his face.
also Chris Hemsworth is hunched over in the scene because he had lost all the Thor muscle and his costume was too big for him

For everyone feeling the need to tell him "You're doing it wrong" Note the Avengers was in New York, so if it's not like your shawarma there's a reason. It's not where you are. Hell even in NYC it's likely there are 20+ different ways it's made. Take a breath and remember that dishes change based on where they are made. Regional variation is the name of the game when it comes to food.
That said, Thanks for all the time you took to make this Andrew. 8)
Hoigwai thank you I was just about to comment this. The only information the movie gives is "generic schwarma place in NYC" and I'm pretty sure Babish lives in NYC, so armed only with that info he made a recipe the closest to what he's tried there. Naturally it's not gonna be perfect authentic schwarma, same way that pizza (a New York staple) isn't going to be exactly how they do it in Italy.
Babish is missing way too many main components to this sandwich to qualify calling it a shawarma. This is just a chicken sandwich. Garlic mayo is key first and foremost. Putting tabbouleh salad in a shawarma is unheard of and can get you life in prison in the Middle East. Turnip? who needs it. Pickles? pssht. Camman, babby!
They dont put cinnamon and corriander in tabouleh nor do they put cinnamon and corriander in shawarma. Its just wrong
You obviously weren't in downtown Atlanta during the filming... I was stuck in that traffic nightmare!
Yes yes, but the film is set in NY for that part ect ect.
Tip: The shape of the stacks of meat is VERY important in getting good shwarma/gyros/doner. It needs to be a cone, the reason for that is because it makes the meat cook unevenly so that when it is carved you have a 'slice' of your meat that has parts which are roasted to a crisp and other bits that are still quite tender. The variation in texture and flavour are a key part of the dish, and the whole point of the cooking method chosen.
He could always carve it into a cone later. To be honest it doesn't affect the taste THAT MUCH, since the outside is crisp and the inside is juicy/tender, whateva you wanna call it.
My family followed this recipe for fun, and it turned out amazing!
I made this about a year ago. Didn’t make my own pita, just bought some. Didn’t matter. There were no leftovers.

This is very different from the shawarma we have in Nigeria, the moment I saw the ingredients on the table I figured you weren't making what I was thinking. Looks delicious tho, I'd eat whatever this is called too.
I would recommend adding water, crushed garlic, salt, lemon juice, and optionally chopped parsley to your tahini sauce so it’s even more authentic like how they make it in the Middle East.

I'm Egyptian and I don't care what the right way for Shawarma is, this looks freaking delicious and pretty close to real Shawarma standards!
Egyptian, everytime you boast about the money you lent to UK, a Shawarma dies. And plaster the outside of your buildings. Looks sad
@@ParthaSharman 😳😦😂
@Amr El-Faramawy legit 👍
Dude im an Egyptian too and that Shawarma looks amazing

I now want to see Binging with Babish in the marvel cinematic universe. Maybe Happy's colleague??
Peter Parker wants to cook and watches a Binging with Babish video made specially for that movie. And Jon Favreau makes a cameo in the video as Happy Hogan. Cue Peter’s reaction.
Edit: Or Aunt May could be caught listening to Bedtime with Babish before bed.
He's met Jon Favreau, who's in the Iron Man films and Spider-Man: Homecoming, who are both themselves in Avengers films. Andrew therefore is degrees of film separation from being in the Avengers. Which makes him more of a character than Hawkeye.

I am sure that some hardcore fans can find a superhero or super villain who look like him. I tried but I am not hardcore enough
You've challenged us.

Every shawarma I've ever eaten came with pickled turnip. They are radioactive-pink and taste great in the wrap. :)
Yeaaaa turnips dont actually belong in shawarma though
Hey B, can you maybe in the near future do an episode where you recreate a god-awful dish and turn it into something appetising? I miss those types of episodes! Anyway, keep up the good work.
Thomas Keidan I had a similar (but more specific) suggestion for him. It was Gruel from Oliver. I remember in high school a Welch girl I liked told me her grandmother used to make gruel for her and it was super tasty. Still, to this day I have no idea what it is and every time I hear anyone mention it, it's described as disgusting.
Those were my favorite ones!!! I totally agree
@@Version0111 It's basically oatmeal but thinner. You probably wouldn't like it unless you're a fan of congee.
"I'm not pandering, you're pandering". Babish paraphrasing every politician ever 😂
Every single person from a Middle Eastern country when he sees him eating the shawarma like that:
*JIHAD*
Your right
I lived in Palestine for years (I'm from there) and this chicken was the closest I've had to shawarma style chicken since I came back to America. Please make this guys. The chicken recipe is ridiculously good. I recommend making/buying some shrak bread instead of pita bread, and dress the sandwich with toum (garlic sauce) tomatoes, pickles, and pickled red cabbage. You can just use all the stuff that babish made in the video (taboleh, tzatziki sauce) but I've never personally had shawarma with those toppings, so I can't vouch for the taste. I've also never had tahini sauce on chicken shawarma either (that tends to be more popular on the beef/lamb variant), but again, I've never tried it so it could be good. Amazing recipe.
It's like none of you guys understood the "Palestinian chicken" reference. You should go see the clip. Search for "Curb your enthusiasm - Palestinian chicken"
