Clever product placement with the Kenwood stuff :D But seriously though, if that means you can keep doing these videos, I'm all for it! I love your videos,
I think Barry’s notion of the coffee berry tea not being pretentious is that it’s using something that would otherwise be discarded? Things that are pretentious, on the other hand, are taking an extra step or go out of the way to incur different costs to seem unique be they delicious or not. Always a fun format, boys. Great viddy!
It's called qashr which means shell and we roast it and add cinnamon and cardamon and my husband is just making a flask. It's something we drink daily and I've got coffee trees in the garden and wouldn't dream of discarding the shell
When they ask Jamie how much he thinks something is, he tends to sound like my dad. “Don’t wanna know. I’m having a good time and I don’t want to be angry.” LMAO
“This is going to cut through the richness of the cheese and the butter in such a great way!” It delights me how much more sophisticated Jamie’s palette has gotten over time. 🤓
These videos are quickly becoming a new fave for me! Ben and Mike's sidebar corner during the whole vid was just everything. I 10000% agree, though, with the people calling for the Pretentious Pass-It-On. Also, can we please have another Sorted Goes Camping series? That one's been my favorite for ages. lol
I think a challenge where the guys had to blind taste test a pretentious/expensive version and a regular/affordable version side by side and guess which is which would be fun!
Jamie really was at his best this video. between the cranberries and his reaction to spreadable beer, he really made this episode about a thousand times better.
Oh gosh my mouth was watering at that balsamic vinegar!! My favourite treat is whipping up balsamic and a flavoured oil ( garlic or jalapeño or whatever! All tasty) and having fresh sourdough to rip and dip. Takes me back!! Love these pretentious showcases
Jamie's comedic chops and showmanship are top-notch, and they got me laughing out loud. His reactions, his responses to all of these ingredients were terrific -- especially his obsession with cranberries.
As soon as I saw the balsamic vinegar the first words out of my mouth were "That's EXPENSIVE". I really like balsamic vinegar so I did some price checking to find the best quality in my price range. It was an eye opening experience.
If you can afford it and you really care about it, it isn't pretentious. If you just buy it to brag, very pretentious. People call me names because I like really good beer. But I just really like beer, I can drink lesser quality ones but why shouldn't I get what I like?
Apart from the dumb butter jar, I’d love to try these things at least once. Beer jam is weird, but like Barry said, it’s a fun thing to serve at a party. Coffee cherries are great from a sustainability and interest point of view. The gin pickle sounds delicious, I’d have to try it to know for sure. And real, artisanal, long aged balsamic vinegar from Modena is one of the most beautiful ingredients in the world. So even if they’re pretentious, it’s worth at least trying. Very interesting episode.
Same! I’ve never attempted it home, but it’s sooooooo good! I’ve wanted to visit Washington DC for a while now (its close-ish as in same country) to have an exploration of a lot of authentic Eritrean and Ethiopian food.
Apparently The Coffee Leaves are very good too. Also if you take the cherries and mixes with some stuff it is good just to eat for energy. Like mixing it with a granola bar
I've done that. It's delicious. I've also rehidrated the berries and blended them (with the water) into an "energy bomb" smoothie. It turned out delicious and gave me quite the jolt at the gym.
Apparently people mix them with a fat of some sort and some other ingredients and then put them in a sack around the next. body heat, sweat and day time (african/middle eastern) heat blends it all into a nice meal. Sort of like when you leave oatmeal to harden and cut in bars to take with you for the next day as a snack.
@@tscimb The key is to watch it carefully. After you have soft peaks, you have to check often for the stiffness you're looking for. As soon as it looks like you got it, stop. Maybe look up what the peaks are supposed to look like at the stopping point. Err on the side of caution, and you'll get a hang for it eventually.
@@drunkenwhaler9507 Thanks for the info! I will pass that on to my brother, who also manages to mess it up, but has appliances. As for me, full disclosure: I make it in a zippy bag, go about my day, and shake/squeeze until I remember I'm holding it. :)
So that balsamic is from a beautiful place in Modena which me and hubby came across a couple of years back whilst visiting Italy. We bought three bottles of balsamic, some younger than others but the poshest one we bought was around £40. It lasted 2 years and every single meal we had with it was memorable. Also Prince Wills and Kate has it as wedding favours for their wedding. The people at the balsamic place told us this and it is also sold in Harrods. They were lovely to us having just rocked up by chance and really want to go back there again!
Ahahaha same. And our pickling has cultural influences and as far as I know, cuz I don't eat pickle, the type of pickle westerners have like the cucumber type is different to what we do
The first one is so bogus! I could make butter by shaking heavy cream in a water bottle and adding salt and herbs after! UTTER NONSENSE. A SCAM. I AM SO ANGRY.
i really want to invest in a nice balsamic for that reason. Some people think it's silly, but I love vinegar in general and I heard nothing can top a real balsamic.
Once you try authentic balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, you'll never look back. I received a small bottle as a gift one Christmas, and I will never buy the Supermarket stuff again. It's worth every penny!
‘Real’ Italian balsamic vinegar made from barrel aged grape must is quite different to the blended vinegars that are sold as balsamic (an unregulated term). Fun fact, balsamic vinegar contains absolutely no balsam. Balsamic literally means balsam-like.
It's nice to see Jamie enjoying so much in a video like this. He seems to usually just get angry. (Not that he shouldn't, mind you.) I normally expect Barry to be the one to like more stuff in one of these.
Why would their recipe include buttermilk to make butter. I thought buttermilk was already the whey leftover from churning butter. It's a pointless endeavor to add it back in, when the whole point is to separate it out in the first place.
I think the worse part is including milk!! With a little buttermilk, you can culture some heavy cream over the course of a half a day, but the milk is just making it harder to do.
Adding buttermilk would be a way to ‘cheat’ and get the tang that comes with cultured butter. A modest amount would be ok, but I think adding milk is what really broke the recipe. You are trying to separate the butterfat, why add a liquid that doesn’t add flavor or more fat???
Tbf really good olive oil can fetch up to a similar price. You don’t use it for cooking but dipping with bread. It doesn’t remotely surprise me that a really really good balsamic has a similar price. Especially if its as thick and syrupy as it appears on screen. It isn’t something you put in a salad but would enjoy beautiful bread with (or mozzarella and tomatoes).
With the amount of experience you guys have gotten doing this and working with chefs, I am not sure any of the three of you could be called "Normal" anymore. You're probably more knowledgeable and skilled than some chefs! :P
I work for a company that sells product anywhere from 5 dollars to 50 dollars a gram. Each individual I process has a unique name and I can trace her lineage back to the beginning. It all really depends on how much you're willing to spend and what's important to you.
11:46 He's right. It's good that the vinegar is out there. I think without some of these pretentious things we wouldn't know what good and bad really are, you know? Does that actually make the item itself pretentious, whether or not it's the "standard for good," whatever it may be, maybe? I would like to think not because of the fact that it sets the standard; it's received validation that it's "good." Maybe it comes down to the price? The fact that it can set the price of "good" whatever, means it's pretentious in and of itself? Very interesting dilemma.
I'd love to try the coffee cherries. When I was training as a barista, I always wondered what the cherry tastes like, especially after dry processing - letting the fruit dry before removing the bean.
Hah! Even chefs burn stuff! My ex wouldn't eat anything I cooked as occasionally burning stuff apparently meant I was a terrible cook. She didn't season any of her food, left big crunchy bits of warm raw onion in her tomato sauces, and didn't bother searing meat ever.
VixReviews If you don’t burn stuff you don’t learn. I’ve been cooking for a long time as a bit of a hobby cook. Recently a pot I was warming caught fire when I was adding oil to it. Never happened before of since, but at least I had the knowlegde to just put the lid on and remove it from the heat. Boyfriend made fun of me mercilessly.
Even My boyfriend, who started out accidentally burning everything (it was so bad the fire truck came) now knows not to make cruchy onions. I’m verry proud.
As someone with Celiac, I would love to see some episodes revolving around gluten free food. Whether it be eating GF (similar to the vegan episodes) or a challenge centered around cooking GF.

GF stuff tastes way better now than it did 10 years ago. And I'd be interested in a GF episode but if they're going to constantly complain about it like they did with trying to be vegan, then just forget it
Coffee cherry also called cascara are quite popular in the coffee community. Tastes just a little more fruity than a specialty coffee made in a filter or aero press. There's also a lemonade made with it from Bärenstein

You guys should do a personal kitchen tour and show how many gadgets and pretentious ingredients you've decided to actually keep around!
I keep seeing the supoon pop up from time to time.
They used licorice powder in some battle.
yes ! personal kitchen tour!
I agree with this!
Would be a great thing during lockdown.
When they ask Jamie how much he thinks something is, he tends to sound like my dad. “Don’t wanna know. I’m having a good time and I don’t want to be angry.” LMAO
You should have a battle where they have to use as many of these foods that they can. A pretentious battle.
I love this idea!

Luckily he has a clever wife with more sense 😊
I love how adamant Jamie was about the coffee pulp being cranberries😂
Me too😂
Yeah, I baked with coffee flour once. Was super disappointed it tasted nothing like coffee. More like a earthy fruitiness
Oh gosh my mouth was watering at that balsamic vinegar!! My favourite treat is whipping up balsamic and a flavoured oil ( garlic or jalapeño or whatever! All tasty) and having fresh sourdough to rip and dip. Takes me back!! Love these pretentious showcases
Will now be referring to a double cheeseburger as a “double chezza” for the rest of time
I agree with Jamie. Once you tasted truly good aged balsamic there is no going back.
Any more Pass it On's??? It'd be fun for everyone to pick an ingredient before they go to the bench and they have to somehow work it into the dish!
Should be another episode soon! And that's a brill idea!!
I actually like that the fruit around the coffee bean isn't wasted.
Too bad they don't just sell it as a common product.
Jamie's comedic chops and showmanship are top-notch, and they got me laughing out loud. His reactions, his responses to all of these ingredients were terrific -- especially his obsession with cranberries.
Nice selection, but without James it's simply not salty enough.

3:37 don’t forgot Ben couldn’t boil an egg either during the Christmas gifts 😂
At least he wasn't the chef who burnt a frozen pizza
Remember the video with the untranslated recipes from Sweden? When Ben suddenly shouted: "I am a kock"? Now I realise why he sounded so surprised.

You should do Ethiopian/Eritrean food! Or even more African food like jollof rice, injera, fufu
Retweet retweet retweet retweet retweet or “retwitter” as I feel like Jamie would call it
YES! would love a recipe to make injeera!
Same! I’ve never attempted it home, but it’s sooooooo good! I’ve wanted to visit Washington DC for a while now (its close-ish as in same country) to have an exploration of a lot of authentic Eritrean and Ethiopian food.
Idea! You guys should cook for your mum's/dad's and have them judge the food, and then guess who made each meal!
have each of the 4 of them write down "their" dish, then randomly assign it to one of the other 3, then they make it. then try to guess who made each.
Ok. Seriously loved the Oliver! Sing-a-long at the end.

I thought the butter making kit would make you shake the jar with heavy cream and make the butter in there.
Me too!!!
This is my favourite series from you guys. I recommend it to people all the time and I drop everything when I see you’ve uploaded one.
1 simple tip. use a normal mason jar, put cream in and shake it. after 5 minutes you have butter. okey i saw you did it ^^
Yeah I saw "Butter Making Kit" and thought "You mean a canning jar and some cream from the supermarket?". What a rip off!

I’ve had that balsamic vinegar on strawberries and it is worth every dime. It’s fabulous!!!
“Pickles are easy to make” man the smell of vinegar from my mother’s annual pickling week haunts me. It may be easy, but what is the cost...
Ahahaha same. And our pickling has cultural influences and as far as I know, cuz I don't eat pickle, the type of pickle westerners have like the cucumber type is different to what we do

For £20 as well
Izzy I watched it on kind of random! That was fabulous!
Better use and pickling jar. The wide opening makes removing the butter a lot easier.
I agree. It's so stupid. It's super expensive and it doesn't even work!!!
You could tell it was a scam the second the recipe called for adding buttermilk . . . which is a by product of making butter.
Mike’s song at the end is the best part of the video!
You know something is absolute rubbish when Barry hates it.
Coffee cherry pulp needs better PR - but I’m in. Caffeine in a new form is exciting
