Milliliters of water add the soup base ready to go this is how i used to hop out boil the broth in a pot on the stove dip the ingredients in and just go to town with this don’t even need any dipping sauce i’ve been eating hot pot my whole life

Tried so many broths out there sure i might be a little biased but i think this is the best so spicy so flavorful if you’re not into spice rich tomato absolutely amazing as well so if you want to give these hot pop broths a try or if you want to enjoy the entire

Hotbox experience with a beautiful pot chopsticks aprons the hot pot kit is available as well we even got a bigger pot this time too so if you want to get your hot pot on lincoln information about how to get this down below i’m going to finish my breakfast and enjoy the video Is Today i’m going to do something that i always want to do here in italy going on a trouble hunt right now in this area called san miniato i don’t know what to do yeah we’re here a little early and i think we’re about to take off at

About 20 minutes to go on the hunt you excited yeah she loves truffle more than anybody on this planet this is the house of the truffle hunter francesca and we’re waiting for the other people on our tour to show up there’s a lot of truffle tours um around tuscany some of

Them were private tours some more group tours we’re doing a group tour today and there’s a church on the property too so we’re on our way to the woods to start looking for truffle and some information is that the reason why there’s trouble here is because this

Whole region used to be underwater and so truffle would require some sandy soil to grow and also i didn’t know this truffle regrows in about 10 days and the reason they don’t use pigs here is that the pigs eat the roots of the truffle so then they don’t grow back so here in

Italy use dogs like this one right here normally they treat them by putting truffle into the milk ever since this dog was a puppy i’ve been sipping on some truffle milk pretty luxurious living so we left uh concrete path and now heading into the woods this seems to be all olive trees over

There we go i’m going deeper bye there he goes dog is being released and now we’re following the dog these are not the truffles we are looking for okay good job choco oh my goodness hey let me take a photo What if we could Stop the pain from hurting what if Broken No it’s a lot of trouble good job choco there’s another one nice to have a dog like this just to go around the woods i wouldn’t want to sell it when i eat it for every single meal yeah oh this is a giant one good job this one’s right the smelliest one This is all the trouble we caught today look at that So they recommend eating truffle with egg which brings out the flavor the most it’s a zucchini stuffed with bread cheese truffle and garlic and then an egg shaved truffle on top Tell me what to do wow it’s creamy there’s a little orange from the zucchini the tropical flavor is very much enhanced by eating that with the creaminess of the egg guys please don’t be shy you need something let me know no chocolate flavor it’s everywhere and you really want that

Dunk it into the egg yolk Rustic homemade delicious meals you’re going to find anywhere italy i think The good part smells good just a little olive oil salt pepper So This is supposed to be the hotel i think this is the hotel just got into the hotel room let me show you this this is surreal classical paintings of the living room including the ceiling a portrait that the eyeballs follow you around no matter where you go bedroom

And this is the best part welcome to monte polcano let’s go walk around Someone’s house is just down this little little alleyway surrounded by these ancient structures it’s like walking back in time this little village this is the town square and twilight where edward almost watched the sun looking out like a diamond At the sandwich shop give you a piece of salami to try making our sandwich right now that’s incredible okay oh yeah much more than okay giant sandwich stuffed full of meat so beautiful call that for 8.50 this is gonna be a good pre-dinner snack hmm there’s just so much to love about this

Sandwich to meat first of all to salami and spicy the prosciutto just melts in your mouth with a slight umami flavor caramelized onions a little sweet cheese it’s creamy and pronounced bread is crusty but soft in the middle right every single ingredient is doing his own thing and together it’s just pure magic

Mouth’s eating this my eyes eating this this might just be the most perfect bite of italy right here anyway like i said pre-dinner snack it’s pretty cool this restaurant has a watermelon san pedrino panna neppy and vivian boss fiji On roosevelt island This place looks amazing so it’s kind of a contemporary take on traditional tuscany food pouch of bread and glass water thank you so cool look at that first of all this little plate is awesome so this is a fake tomato oh there’s a lot of stuff inside that’s

Delicious i i don’t know what’s inside definitely some tomato juice and i think some cheese anyway oh this olive oil is crazy so fragrant wow that’s some strong olive oil delicious this is the ripolita this is a very traditional tuscany soup with bread and vegetables and beans and a lot of starch

I think some spinach some carrots looks like a really mushy veggie stew very hearted this is a papa ao pomodoro this is also another bread soup with tomatoes Tomatoes mild not too tangy spicy hearty taste of bread it’s like bread soaked in really delicious spicy tomato sauce let’s go and finally chicken liver pate on a crouton all right i’ll be good with some of this soup on top just needs a little bit of citrus two pastas first one was spaghetti

Munchie burrata cheese on top black garlic and horseradish and the shaving i think is the chianina beef i’ve never had a horseradish in pasta before so this is exciting this is really interesting pasta it’s very authentic very creamy you can’t really taste the horseradish but it’s interesting this is technically only 40

Egg yolk that means they’re 40 egg yolks for every kilogram of pasta and shaved summer truffles on top in this region if you’re offered truffles this is good i like the flavor this much better the two pastas are very interesting because one is really really

Hard and one is pretty soft this is very very yolky right now still i prefer this one That’s the cheek of the chiana beef they cook this for 50 hours and you can tell look at how that meat is just falling off the bone with a little flick of the fork awesome looks like a little kimchi on top it’s a bear blonde sauce it’s buttery it’s creamy

The beef touches your tongue and it’s just gone the outside has a nice little char there’s good crunch from the vegetables and the kimchi that’s a delicious dish also got the seafood soup with both cooked and raw seafood there’s mussels squid scallops okay so the shrimp is raw fish that’s raw

Let’s try this this is all soaked in some seafood broth as well This is a must try the shrimp is sweet the broth very light very mild but it definitely complements the seafood so so well from the shrimp to the squid to the scallops bring this thing a little bit of sweetness a little bit of smokiness so many different textures

From the different types of seafood and super dunkable for your bread so good especially at shrimp this brings so much sweetness to this dish all ends with that guy tiramisu today not only a great food day really fun food there got a reservation for giant steak see you there Good morning for breakfast steak and steak around this region it’s got to be florencing steak and this thing is so unique to italy all the steaks are cooked over an open fire typically made from the type of cattle known as kia nina it’s thick it’s giant

It’s at least one kilo so here they give you the option you either do a one kilo or two kilo always a t-bone steak very simply seasoned salt and pepper the key is uh it’s cooked it’s cooked only one way pretty darn rare and right now we’re in the

Restaurant australia oklahoma this is a very local place it might be a town that a lot of tourists flock to it’s all locals in here first we’re going to start off with this dough roasted pecorino with fresh truffle this region you gotta get truffle it’s so fresh here

It’s so good especially over some melted cheese this dish is only six euros you’re getting a lot of truffle with this dish loaded it with truffle the cheese is very nutty great flavor perfect with the rustic earthy taste of the chocolate also truffle dishes are so affordable

Here this dish covered in truffle like covered in black truffles six euros this in the u.s easily probably 20 bucks 30 bucks amazing deal the owner comes to you personally and show you the steak That looks good one and a half kilo steak that looked beautiful 1.56 kilos of just gorgeous smelling plate of t-bone meat they don’t ask you how you want your steak it is all cooked the same way usually five minutes on each side They don’t put a lot of seasoning on this you only get a little bit of salt on this just so you can taste that great flavor of the steak yourself and the steak is not very fatty so it doesn’t do the typical melting thing as much But on the filet part of the t-bone it’s just so so tender i just like butter you definitely get more of an intense beefy flavor from this cut it just tastes so clean and also that gray smoke from the oak wood fire and that’s how every one of these steaks is

Cooked it might be a little too rare for a lot of people but if you are ever here give it a try this is some mind-blowing stuff you can also get it with a drizzle of olive oil if you want that’s also something that people do i like mine

With just a little bit of pepper that’s pretty darn perfect i also get that great char from the fire that only open flames could bring there’s still so much good meat on the bones right here Tastiest part of the steak in my opinion well look at this pringle twisty machine huh original sour cream i think there’s barbecue in here too paprika anyway back in my line now i’m such an awesome experience going on a truffle hunt and getting to experience monte pociano one of the prettiest

Little towns i’ve ever seen tonight’s going to relax maybe eat some pizza how about pizza yes it’s coming to italy and then flying out tomorrow there’s always our place i went to list down below for you guys thank you all so much for watching i’ll tell weed again see you later You
