WEBVTT - 🍠 We Try Sweet Yams!

0:00:00.510 --> 0:00:04.050
<v Speaker 1>Gold. Hello there, it's Jonesy Demanda driving you home this

0:00:04.090 --> 0:00:17.300
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday afternoon. To the kitchen, Batman. Are you hungry? TikTok

0:00:17.340 --> 0:00:19.259
<v Speaker 1>at the moment is throwing up, as it were, a

0:00:19.300 --> 0:00:23.420
<v Speaker 1>lot of Thanksgiving recipes. And this one is sweet yams.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>When is Thanksgiving? November sometime, I think. But sweet yams,

0:00:27.500 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that is my LinkedIn name. May I please continue and

0:00:30.580 --> 0:00:32.780
<v Speaker 1>finish a sentence? Oh, by the way, this is on

0:00:32.860 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Instagram Live. We're on Instagram Live. Please join us. Watch

0:00:35.460 --> 0:00:39.540
<v Speaker 1>the fight in real time. Jonesy to Matt. So, sweet yams. Now,

0:00:39.580 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I think yam is a sweet potato, so we've gone

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.780
<v Speaker 1>with sweet potato here. The recipe is very simple, and

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:49.599
<v Speaker 1>I've already par-cooked or par-boiled the sweet potato in the

0:00:49.650 --> 0:00:52.309
<v Speaker 1>bottom of a baking dish here. It's very simple, but

0:00:52.350 --> 0:00:54.690
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how it will go. So, lay half-cooked sweet

0:00:54.730 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>potato chunks... In a tray. And then I saw them

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>do this. They say pour a large amount of sugar

0:01:01.020 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>over the top. And when they say large amount, they

0:01:03.660 --> 0:01:06.820
<v Speaker 1>did an entire packet. I've got two half packets. I'm

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.100
<v Speaker 1>going to do them both. They layered it up like this,

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.220
<v Speaker 1>like you're putting salt on a fish to bury it

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>underground or something. That is a lot of sugar. It

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.700
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of sugar. There's one half of it.

0:01:16.980 --> 0:01:21.149
<v Speaker 1>That's industrial death. It is. How would you describe how

0:01:21.209 --> 0:01:22.870
<v Speaker 1>much for people who can't see what we're doing? That's

0:01:22.890 --> 0:01:25.010
<v Speaker 1>a whole pack of sugar. Yeah, so you cover it

0:01:25.209 --> 0:01:26.950
<v Speaker 1>all and then some. Oh, that's too much. No, that's

0:01:26.970 --> 0:01:28.970
<v Speaker 1>what they did. This is what they did in the recipe.

0:01:29.110 --> 0:01:31.230
<v Speaker 1>I'm following the recipe. Does America have an obesity crisis?

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>There we go. But a dental crisis as well. Hang on,

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.690
<v Speaker 1>is that all of it? Do you want all of it?

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I reckon that's probably enough. That's the sugar there. Ryan,

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.060
<v Speaker 1>as a young person, are you going yum? It looks

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.830
<v Speaker 1>like it's covered in snow. It does. It's covered in snow,

0:01:45.890 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>completely impacted with snow. Then what I do... is you

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.500
<v Speaker 1>put three, they say a stick of butter, three big

0:01:52.580 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>slabs of butter on the top like this, and then

0:01:56.220 --> 0:01:58.620
<v Speaker 1>we sprinkle cinnamon. My hands, I've got gloves. Would you mind?

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:03.790
<v Speaker 1>Can you sprinkle the cinnamon? Pour some cinnamon on me.

0:02:04.590 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>In the name of love. How much? That's enough. And

0:02:09.180 --> 0:02:10.980
<v Speaker 1>then I cover it with alfoil. And we're going to

0:02:11.060 --> 0:02:14.220
<v Speaker 1>bake this probably for about 20 minutes at 180. So

0:02:14.260 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what we've got is sweet potato, which is delicious, an

0:02:17.900 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>enormous amount of sugar, three big slabs of butter and

0:02:21.940 --> 0:02:25.380
<v Speaker 1>some cinnamon. And we'll see what kind of sweet yam

0:02:25.460 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>pudding we end up with. Sounds nice. That's coming up.

0:02:30.300 --> 0:02:35.930
<v Speaker 1>Do you think? Sweet yam pudding. So we're making sweet

0:02:35.970 --> 0:02:39.970
<v Speaker 1>yams today. I saw this. It's an American recipe for Thanksgiving,

0:02:40.660 --> 0:02:43.380
<v Speaker 1>but I thought it could be delicious. Instead of yams, obviously,

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.460
<v Speaker 1>we're using sweet potato. The whole recipe was just chopped up.

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.460
<v Speaker 1>A yam is just a sweet potato, correct? I think so.

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.460
<v Speaker 1>It was just chopped up sweet potato that had been

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>partially cooked, covered in an entire bag of sugar, completely

0:02:55.340 --> 0:02:58.429
<v Speaker 1>like it was under snow, and then three big sticks

0:02:58.470 --> 0:03:00.970
<v Speaker 1>of butter. I followed the recipe. Then some cinnamon. It

0:03:01.010 --> 0:03:03.350
<v Speaker 1>has been cooking now. It said 20 minutes, but it

0:03:03.389 --> 0:03:05.730
<v Speaker 1>wasn't cooked in 20 minutes. So we've gone a bit longer.

0:03:05.750 --> 0:03:09.169
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to unveil it. Oh, dear. It just looks

0:03:09.210 --> 0:03:13.310
<v Speaker 1>like a soup. It's not supposed to be liquid, is it? Well,

0:03:13.530 --> 0:03:16.420
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe it's supposed to solidify a little bit,

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.420
<v Speaker 1>but we followed the recipe and that's what's happened. That's all.

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:24.419
<v Speaker 1>Look at that. That's just floating butter. Okay. Well, I'm

0:03:24.460 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>giving you some, Ryan. Some for you, Brendan. I thought

0:03:28.750 --> 0:03:31.230
<v Speaker 1>that it would... I thought it would be more pudding-ish.

0:03:31.430 --> 0:03:33.690
<v Speaker 1>It's very viscous. But maybe... Oh, look at all that

0:03:33.750 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>sugar in the bottoms. Maybe if you leave it for

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.380
<v Speaker 1>an hour, it might sort of firm up. I don't know.

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>But here's what we're doing. This is sweet yams, Ryan. Sweet,

0:03:43.220 --> 0:03:45.420
<v Speaker 1>sweet yams. Here we go. Do you have any sort

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.020
<v Speaker 1>of ice cream or cream? No, I don't. That would

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>be a nice condiment. If you could have a look around, Brenna,

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.250
<v Speaker 1>in front of you. No, there is none. When I

0:03:52.260 --> 0:03:54.410
<v Speaker 1>say three, it might be boiling hot, so be careful. Okay,

0:03:54.430 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>let's try it. Go. Okay. Oh, it's boiling hot. Oh,

0:03:57.390 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>they're hot. They're hot. Oh, good. It's good. Mm-hmm. Yeah,

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it's good. How could it not be with all that

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.180
<v Speaker 1>sugar and butter? Yeah, it's a lot of sugar. It

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.780
<v Speaker 1>is delicious. It's hot. But I don't know how, oh,

0:04:13.940 --> 0:04:16.500
<v Speaker 1>I've got heartburn. It's burning all the way down. I

0:04:16.540 --> 0:04:18.500
<v Speaker 1>don't know what form you'd eat it in because, really,

0:04:18.580 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it looks like butter soup with some sweet potato in.

0:04:21.860 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>It is delicious, though. So maybe if you just put

0:04:25.540 --> 0:04:27.220
<v Speaker 1>it in the fridge for a while, would it solidify?

0:04:27.300 --> 0:04:28.620
<v Speaker 1>I think you put a bit of cream in there.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.820
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be all right. Because there's not enough fat. No,

0:04:32.980 --> 0:04:38.340
<v Speaker 1>add more fat. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I give it two thumbs up.

0:04:39.779 --> 0:04:42.549
<v Speaker 1>It's delicious, but it will kill you. Yep. And probably

0:04:42.589 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>burn all the way down as well. What do you think, Ryan? Yeah,

0:04:45.540 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>it's good, but I think it's because of all the sugar. Like,

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.850
<v Speaker 1>if you put that much sugar on horse poop, I

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.690
<v Speaker 1>reckon it would probably taste so good. That's next week's

0:04:51.830 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>secret recipe. Right. Well, what obesity crisis. That's TikTok. We'll

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.810
<v Speaker 1>put this very detailed recipe on our socials.
