French Comedian Literally Interprets an English Recipe

Multilingual French comedian Loïc Suberville literally interpreted an English recipe, acting it out step by step. He began by checkmating an egg (beating it), flirting with garlic (crushing it), insulting the potatoes (roasting them), cloaking lettuce in a sweatshirt (dressing the salad), and vowing to protect the pasta water (saving it). By Suberville’s clever logic, the recipe seemed rather simple. He credits Olivier Hude with the original idea.

Cooking in English is Easy

Suberville regularly pokes fun at both of his languages in his ongoing “French Makes No Sense” and “English Makes No Sense” sketch series.
