Uncle Roger CHALLENGE Joshua Weissman (Texture vs Flavor)

You did great Uncle Roger. Thank you for coming. LOVE U BIG DADDY!!

Fuyiooo. Thanks for having me Uncle Roger. Your crispy rice so good Auntie Helen asked for 2nd chance! :)

As an Asian , I’ll have to say flavor it’s way more important than texture. Flavor is what keeps people fed!

Jamie Oliver has a natural ability to make food with no texture and no flavor at the same time. He’s a truly gifted man.

I think this video perfectly explains the pursuit of food between the East and the West. As an Asian, I feel that flavor represents the connotation of food, which is much more important than texture.

as someone who lost their sense of taste due to covid, I have to say that taste is far more important to me than texture.
Edited to say this was in 2020 and I got most of my sense of taste back.

Results: Texture is like bass and taste is like guitar. No world should exist without both of them together

As someone who had covid like 4-5 times.
I think I've given texture but no flavour a pretty thorough trial and I gotta say,
I don't know if I've ever craved a texture.
But you sure notice craving flavours once you can't satisfy them.

Bro honestly you guys need a channel together... The chemistry between you guys is so fucking good.

My thoughts on this are that both bad flavor and bad texture will actively ruin a meal, no (or at least minimal) texture is preferable to no flavor (I lost my sense of taste once and it was terrible). I mean, just look at soup. Sure, it's better with toast or something to add texture, but it's entirely possible to have a really nice soup without any notable texture. However, a combination of both texture and flavor is hands down the best.

Uncle Roger was on fire here. Also please bring back the special guest in future videos. The marble plate

2:27 Joshua freaking out over his stained marble 🤣🤣

This merch is UNREAL

Uncle Josh is killing me.... he doesn't want to be cancelled by Uncle Roger's jokes.... 😂

I love the collabs with you three. You have such a great dynamic in every video. I love that you've stuck with the cooking crowd everything is so wholesome 😌

He roasted guga with Joshua’s marble 💀💀
They even roasted uncle roger with the texture 💀

If you can get the texture down, you can kinda fudge the flavor, whereas I find the opposite isn't as true. As an example, I overcooked my oatmeal one morning (literally just certified gluten-free old-fashioned oats, water, and salt) but not so bad that it burned. I added extra salt to it and it tasted like hashbrowns. No potatoes, no oil, but it tricked my brain so well I basically couldn't tell the difference. So now, on occasion, I overcook it on purpose.
I have severe food allergies and am down to about a dozen safe ingredients, so the "variety" of the faux hashbrowns on some mornings is nice. Now if only I could figure out how to trick my brain into thinking I'm eating a full-blown meat-lovers pizza.

I love the two of these guys together because sometimes Uncle Roger holds back his roasting and filth and edge for his guests but he knows he can go full blast with Joshua, and Joshua gets to use the high humor of Uncle Roger’s channel to cut loose too. Two idiots playing a game of chicken with KRclip’s monetization system, essentially

As an architect, I always discourage using marble for a regular kitchen countertop unless you frequently work with pastry. Marble stains easily and can also be corroded by acids like lemons. My recommendation: Quartz countertop.

I like it how we see in the bloopers that Guga was just standing there, waiting for the food

I love these collaborations. You can tell they're all having so much fun with it.

I've had my gag reflex triggered far more by strange textures than by strange tastes, so I gotta agree with Josh and Guga. Texture first, taste second.

The one thing you all forget ro take into consideration is that you only "tasted" a bite. To actually finish a meal is totally different, the experience of the food tastes as your hunger lessens and I believe at that point flavour matters more than texture!

The pimpage joke never gets old 🤣🤣

Guga has a point though. You can kind of fix a lack of flavor by adding some sauces or seasonings, but you can't fix a lack of texture.

I love these collaborations so much. This is why I love youtube content more than regular television content. Keep up the phenomenal work gentlemen.

I love how uncle Roger flusters uncle Joshua so easily

The whole KRclip chef community is so wholesome. I love every collaborations

Joshua, Guga, and Nick should have a cook-off, uncle roger be the judge! Make it happen please

I never thought cooking collaborations could be that good , I would pay for such a channel!

"I start my career just talking shit. Now i talk shit AND cook a little bit" 😂 so inspiring, we should aspire to such radical personal growth ❤

personally i would choose flavor over texture cuz i cant eat bland food .but yes having both is just perfect . good video uncle roger and joshua the food looks amazing would try to make it at home .

I need more content with all 3 of you. You guys are hilarious together.

This episode is wholesome, not even reaches half of video, and there are already jokes that make me cry😂😂😂

On the whole, I would personally say both flavor and texture are equally important. On the smaller scale, it's more up to the individual for what they prefer more--but in a majority of dishes, it's a matter of getting both right to elevate it as much as possible.

Something very common with this dish is the Spanish Paella. The "Socorat" is very important in it, that is the "burnt" rice where all the flavours are concentrated.

Uncle Guga makes everything better. He's like the MSG of cooking channels.

Nigel knows no boundaries. Never mess with a man\s marble counter! 😂

These two guys are some of the most entertaining food based youtubers ! For different reasons but you guys are both funny & I always look at everything you post I can’t help it ! 😅

To be honest, I feel as though those two are more or less equally important. Joshua is right, when it comes to high level cooking. If you facing off against someone Shokugeki/Iron Chef style texture will give your dish the edge against your competitors. However, in a home chef/diner setting flavor is king, so Uncle Roger is right. Flavor is what brings everyone back for more and keeps people fed. So no texture doesn’t always beat flavor, it’s up to you to read the situation and choose which one is the most important.

That is a dream team right there! Great video guys. Don’t sacrifice flavor BUT texture is important. I’m going to say 70/30 flavor over texture. That said I’m still buying your cookbook Uncle Joshua.

The thing about texture is that the ingredients commonly already have decent flavor to begin with, so unless you deliberately fk it up, the flavor in a well textured dish still holds. Flavor matters all the time.

Uncle Guga's style of experiment, Uncle Joshua's kitchen, Uncle Roger's roasted and cooking, MSG Mafia is in whole other level now 🔥🔥 Wish to see Uncle Nick in this frame too

Love Uncle Roger, Joshua and Guga ❤ 🎉

I have to say Japanese people are obsessed with both so much so that we have certain food items that pretty much enjoyed for just the flavor or the texture. For the texture, there are fish bone fries, cartridge fries, certain seaweed like umi-budo, and woodears that are very common in Asian cooking. For the flavor, matsutake mashroom is the first to come to mind, but we have other food with extreme flavors in farmented products like natto and kusaya, and in bitterness like bitter melon and fish/shellfish guts. Although Japanese cuisine usually don't use strong flavors, they focus on the natural flavors of each ingridient.

it's hilarious when you realize that Nigel did this whole serious-ish video in character, LOL

I love these collaborations. Probably one of my favorite videos, Uncle Roger. 😂

I never really thought about it but the texture being good instantly makes food better. When I have chicken regardless of the flavor I always enjoy it more when it's crunchy

I think it's a lot more complicated than one or the other. I think at the low end of texture, it is more important as that can be a hard pass for some foods. But as long as texture meets some minimum edibility threshold, increasing the texture gives very diminishing returns compared to increasing the flavor.

As a persian i totally understand the importance of texture for rice.
Crispy rice is the best 👌🏼

You 3 together at the end. Yes please, we want more. All 3 of you are channels I don't only subscribe to but I actively watch right to the end.

In my opinion, good flavour is more important than good texture, but it's also easier to achieve. Flavour is mostly about having the right ingredients on hand, adequately seasoning etc. Texture is more about preparation and technique, and a lot of the technique that does affect flavour, also affects texture.

I definitely want to try making clay pot rice one day

2:52 the way you can tell joshua is trying to not say anything 😭😭

I don't think I've seen Josh laugh so hard and so genuinely in any other video! Thanks Uncle Roger for another hilarious video.

I showed Uncle Roger's videos to my mother, who's been cooking like 60 years already and she said: "Yeah, he's fine, I agree with him all the way". She just loves to cook asian food)

I feel like Flavor Vs Texture really comes down to what you are making, cause... like... A smoothie? Probably don't want weird textures in there. lol

Thank you, Uncle Roger, for I have known Uncle Guga and Uncle Joshua because of you. You're the best trio for me.
(edit: pleAse have more collab soon)

Uncle Roger one would be my favorite among all three versions. That rice looks so delicious

As someone who recently got jaw surgery, I crave texture WAY more than flavor. I had to go 2 weeks with only liquid, and 2 months without chewing.

He really roasted his whole kitchen the entire time 😂😂😂

that was so fun to watch! glad to see all of you having fun making content and good food fuyiooooo!

i have just recently stated watching ur channel/ and omg i lovethe character and how well u act. that plus ur natural charisma makes all ur content so enjoyable!!! i will be a viewer no matter what u decide to do

I'd love to cook with these guys

Personally, if i had to choose a side, its texture. One time. I have basically split a tooth in two. I eventually got it put, but whats more important is that my mother made this baked mac&cheese and while i couldnt really chew to get all the flavors on all my tastebuds, id say it was my favorite meal because it had such great texture and i could get it down easily without chewing.
That being said, flavor is also important.

This is like the different between people that grew up eating great flavored foods and people who don't.

“I call it teamwork…” Holy shit. I just shot coffee out my nose. I knew eating and drinking while watching this was a risk but god daaaaaaaamn. Let Uncle Roger cook!

You can tolerate a great flavor with a horrible texture, you can even enjoy it by getting used to it, but you cannot tolerate a great texture with a disgusting flavor. That's why flavor is obviously much more important than texture. The texture is something that can be pleasant but in the end what makes it enjoyable is the flavor.

I met Joshua in Chinatown and he is as down to earth in person as he is in his videos 👍

The Mexican joke had me laughing out loud at 6 am waking up my grandparents 😭

Outtakes are gold like usual!

That Mexican roast was hilarious.

Imagine being a professional chef with countertops that you can't even get water on....

An easy way to emulate a complete lack of texture would’ve been to blend it. You wouldn’t eat a blended burger but you would eat a burger without sauce.

Personally I like flavour over texture but in the end both is essential for a good dish

I think that says a lot about the difference between western and Asian cuisine.
I don't care about texture at all when it's about food as someone who grew up with a lot of Asian food but all my western friends used to western food shy away from anything with an unusual texture no matter how good the flavor is

I’ve always thought underseasoned fried rice tasted bad, but at the end of the day, it’s edible. I once tried to make fried rice with mushy overwatered rice once. Absolutely disgusting although seasoned perfectly.

Josh's fear of cancel culture is hilarious

These collabs are insanely good, love the chemistry between you guys. More would be awesome!

Ever since I started watching Uncle Roger, my mom bought a rice cooker. Rice is so good now

Chickens feet is a good example of this 😂 the texture freaks people out but its delicious. Also stale biscuits taste fine, the textures a no tho

Uncle slowly becoming a chef in its own right 😂

As soon as Joshua said " Hi, I am White" it cracks me up 😂. Well play Weissman

This trio gives me life on all of their channels! ❤

9:25 "and we have special guest today, the piece of mable." LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣

“You call it bukake, Uncle Roger call it teamwork” legit made me snarf 💀

Whats crazy about this whole thing is that Ive been told multiple times in my life by mostly Japanese and Korean people that texture is more important and food is all about texture. To see Joshua having to defend texture and Roger on the side of flavor threw me for a loop. And yes, of course flavor is important, but what Im getting is that I was often told that they usually choose what meat/protein they ate depending on the texture they wanted

a dish without flavour is the saddest dish you will ever have in your life

I swear texture is so important to me, I don't eat certain foods because they have a weird texture 😂 must be nice to not be bothered by texture and just enjoy food by flavour, I envy you uncle Roger 😭😂

Love the video. I'm super glad someone else agrees with me about texture. I love most all tastes but plenty of food I won't eat because of texture.

I love how Joshua introduces himself as "Hi I'm white" with his last name meaning "white man" in german lmao.

As a Vietnamese, I always eat food with no texture, and with flavor, it is DA BOMB (btw rice is best food!)

I think Chef Jean Pierre said it very well: Texture is the transmitter of flavor.

That "Teamwork" joke got me ! 😂🤣

i love how uncle roger always tries to make uncle josh look like a snobby upper class racist, poor josh😂

Loved this episode! 😂

I call it teamwork 😂😂😂 my God i almost passed out laughing

These three dudes are the best so far. That dude can cook site, just missed out on the top three❤❤❤❤

Uncle Roger had me rolling in this one.

OK BUT UNIRONICALLY UNCLE ROGER SAYING “is that alarm for your birth control” reminded me i forgot to take my birth control tonight 😭😭😭
