Have you heard about mouth cooking?
No, it's not a euphemism for something dirty. It's just what it says it is.
If you're thinking, "Cooking with your mouth sounds kind of disgusting," just know, It will exceed all of your expectations.
In a video that has gone viral on YouTube, we meet a British woman who introduces herself as "Riva Godfrey" (She's playing a role: Her real name is Iska Lupton).
She's in one of those impossibly well-lit kitchens that you see in Nancy Meyers films. She is here to show us how to make stuffing for a turkey and has her mise-en-place spread out around her. If you are a very astute viewer, you'll notice that there are no knives or spoons present.
She's got all her ingredients. But instead of dicing her onion, carrot and celery, she has an innovative approach: She peels the onion, and then bites into it as if it's an apple, chewing it until it's about the consistency of a dice, and then spitting it into a bowl.
She rips parsley apart with her teeth. She bites chunks off a loaf of bread. A lemon comes out — "for safety's sake, I am not going to use a zester," she says — and she zests the lemon by scraping it with her front teeth. She crunches peppercorns with her teeth, and warms some butter up in there. And to bind the stuffing, she cracks a raw egg into her mouth, swishing it around as if it were mouthwash, before spitting it out into the bowl, mashing it all together (with her hands, thank goodness) and defiling a poor turkey by cramming this giant spitball into its carcass.
See if you can keep your lunch down through the entire video.
