Your vanilla tastes different and smells different because real vanilla is vanilla beans soaked in alcohol. (That is how extracts are made.) Artificially flavored vanilla is usually made with glycerin.
Artificial vanilla is synthesized vanillin. Like artificial truffle flavor, it's very "one-note". Whole beans have other compounds in them that add to the flavor of the vanillin (so much so that different varieties of vanilla have strikingly different flavor profiles).
Artificial is called Vanillin
@@popefacto5945 I make my own vanilla. A lot of people in my vanilla group use glycerine instead of alcohol.
@@christinaelge6683 Me, too! My 'perpetual' jars are Madagascar beans in bourbon whiskey and Tahitian beans in blackstrap rum. I take beans as needed and top the liquor off when I use the extract. They've been going for a few years now.
I'm mildly curious how long it takes to get a good extraction using vegetable glycerin but not enough to waste beans in it. Seems like it would take longer than ethanol/water.
@@popefacto5945 I'd love to learn more about this, a 'perpetual jar' sounds great!! So I imagine they sort of "pickle" in the booze, but do you just sort of take a teaspoon of the liquid out to use as extract? It sounds lovely.
I think you should go over your previous videos and do specials of Medium Vs Steep where you take some of the expensive ingredients you felt made a difference, mixed with the cheap ingredients, and face it off against the expensive and see if the expensive still comes out on top!
Ooh, I'd like that! That sounds interesting
I heard that "delicate pop", and now have immense respect for Mrs. B for allowing this hilarity to remain in the video. Thank you, Mrs. B.
Ya! That was hilarious 😂
i heard it too lol
Spiced rum and dark rum are different ingredients
I would love to see a cheap vs steep French toast and bacon breakfast
In the UK we call "French toast" eggy bread unless we're being pretentious...
@@ticketyboo2456 most people call it French toast globally. Eggy bread _is_ a better name though
I hail from the great country of New Jersey and your missing one key staple there. Pork Roll/Taylor ham 😊
@@ticketyboo2456 well it's better than the name of what chipped beef in cream sauce on toast is called lol
I think it would be really interesting to see the steep spices in the cheaper base.
To me freshly ground nutmeg is always worth it. fresh spices in general, but especially nutmeg is something I always splash out on because prepackaged ground nutmeg always seems like sawdust with a faint whiff of nutmeg in it 😅 Great video as always, I love watching the two of you together! ❤
I agree with the nutmeg being freshly ground. Makes a difference with rice pudding too.
Those are strange times to be in. There is a shortage of many products ahead for next year, because a bunch of producers, growers, farmers stop producing due to the massive increase in production cost. While as a consumer I understand that we look for the "best price", whatever that may be, as someone who has worked on the production side of food (farm), retailers and customers often don't think about the amount of time, money and work spent until there is something as "simple" as an egg on the table.
I truly am in favour of spending more on food, especially if I know it makes a difference for producers that really invest in high standards and high quality. Luckily, I am in a situation where that is possible. I still like watching the comparison.
Excellent! Great video! I'm sure other have pointed this out, but I'd guess the reason the "cheap" egg nog didn't taste as much of eggs is because you curdled the eggs when mixing it, thus eliminating a large portion of the eggs from the final product. Whereas Mrs. B didn't curdle her eggs and, hence, had more eggs in her version.
Watching you all make the eggnog made me go to the fridge and have a glass of the premade that I buy every Christmas season
I’d like an episode with a basic recipe and the cheap and steep concept but make multiple by changing out individual ingredients at a time and figuring out what ingredients actually make the difference. I know that would be time consuming and hopefully my explanation makes sense!!
The only problem would be that the number of batches would go up exponentially with the number of ingredients. Cheap vs steep for 8 ingredients would mean 256 batches.
@@markchapman6800 That is why a very basic recipe would be the way to go. Think about his 3 ingredient recipes, for example.
@@beckyj611 That's still 8 batches, so probably at the limit of what he'd want to make for a video. Has he even done a CvS for a dish with that few ingredients?
@@markchapman6800 they don’t have to be big batches - I don’t understand why you’re against it, I’m sure he has the filming budget for that. With many people currently struggling to afford food here in the UK I think they would appreciate seeing what’s worth the cheap price tag.
@@beckyj611 I don't know why you are having so much difficulty realising how much extra *work* this would be for him for minimal gain, plus it would quickly get tedious comparing all of the combinations.
I was so egg-cited for this video. Well done. Truly egg-squisite 😜
I recon the cheap tastes less eggy because the egg curdled and was put through sieve. Had the egg not been removed due to curdling it might taste different.
I’d like to see a cheap vs steep where you get the most expensive ingredients from the cheap store and the cheapest ingredients from the steep store.

In Canada where I live we pay the steep prices every day. A 750 ml bottle of rum is around $30.00 and up to $65.00 for a better one. I love watching your steep vs cheap...you are very lucky to be able to afford your groceries for a reasonable price. My husband likes eggnog but me not so much ! Good job...thanks for sharing.
Same if not worse in Australia!
I think Barry would freak out if he saw prices in BC vs what he pays for Steep.
@@tkay8692 So true ...lol...
Cheap spiced rum has sugar added as well, it will kick the sweetness up
I love how Barry is reading the info on the steep rum and Becky is looking at the bottle of the cheap rum in the background as if she is following what he is saying off of the cheap rum label 😂😂
There actually isn't an egg shortage, it's the supermarkets not wanting to pay producers a fair price
You mean the chickens? They produce it. Humans just take profit
You SHOULD use whole nutmeg and ground it as you need it. And use a proper grinder, you probably have it on the 4-sided "knuckle murderer". It is the one that is small and have 4-way grinding (if it makes any sense). The pieces will be almost as small as the store bought grounded nutmeg, but the taste will be extremely more satisfying!
I still think you should do a variation on this where you make two identical dishes with only a single ingredient changed to isolate the impact of cheap vs steep.
Best series on the channel. Thanks so much
Seeing you both struggle with separating those eggs, it makes me think of how much more easy it is to just drop the egg in your hand or scoop it up with your hand and let the whites flow between your fingers. Just gotta wash your hands before and after, but it is sooooo simple.
About the nutmeg;
*Never* use ground nutmeg. Always use whole nutmeg at grind it up yourself.
The flavour-profile is *so* much better with freshly ground nutmeg.
Eggnog is just basically custard with booze added to it. People sometimes make it with raw eggs and after adding the booze they can let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days to "age" to let the booze kill off any bad bacteria from the raw eggs.
Raw eggs are safe to eat
@@jammybizzle666 Weeell, they are, and they aren't.
If the egg doesn't have either campylobacter or salmonella in it, then sure, raw eggs are fine.
But you can't know whether or not it has those bacteria in it unless you test it.
The good news is though, 99.9% of the time the bacteria are found on the shell and not in the egg itself, so you are usually fairly safe if you don't get any shell in the raw egg.
Otherwise, if you wanna be safe, you can pasteurize raw eggs yourself by just dipping them in boiling water for 10 seconds or so.
@@The_Keeper safe in the UK mate, not sure about your dirty eggs lol
The aging method was proven(but since it wasn't a proper experiment the results aren't "canon")by Dr. Rebecca Lancefield of Rockefeller University. Their tradition was to make a batch after Thanksgiving and put it in the fridge til around Christmas time a few weeks later. It was safe to drink before then but they felt it tasted better after "mellowing". This was attributed to the pint of bourbon and quart of rum added to the mix. They decided to put salmonella samples in the base and after the mellowing period they tested for the bacteria's presence and found that the alcohol killed it during that period,,lol.
@@The_Keeper There’s a whole USDA procedure for pasteurizing them yourself. I don’t remember specifics, but it’s definitely not a 10-second dip. It’s a very particular temperature and a very particular amount of time at that exact temperature.
Eggnog looks really good but the sound of that cake literally made my mouth water, chocolate (especially dark chocolate) and orange is one of my favourite flavour combinations of all time 😀.
Love the cheap vs steep jumpers loving the rose gold reindeer
Love it 😍 Good vanilla makes all the difference in cooking. You won’t look back once used🤩
I was just watching and concentrating and then you asked Mrs B if she had farted and that’s it I lost it 😂😂😂 I had to rewind it back about five times to hear it and then I would laugh all over again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always think of one of my favorite Christmas films "Christmas Vacation" whenever I see or hear eggnog!
as a watcher from the USA, I am very jealous of your grocery prices. Some of the "steep" items are cheaper than generic brands in our grocery stores.
With how little vanilla you typically use in recipes. I think I would 100% be able to justify the price. Plus it's actual vanilla with its subtle complexities.
Cloves are delicious.
I toss a few cloves in with my coffee when it is brewing.
I also have some clove gum.
Glimmer of beige!! Lolol best line ever! Love Mrs B x
Farts like a trooper though!!
The difference in the nutmeg was one hqd been ground long ago, the other was fresh.
I heard the pop 😂😂😂😂
A Christmas cake would be interesting. I did it last year, I made a cheaper one and expensive cake, the difference was very evident. Thanks for video 😊
« A Glimmer of Beige » by Barry and Mrs. B 😁
That "woh happened". Made me laugh
That steep rum was absolutely wonderful!
I hope you and your family have the best Christmas ever. Thank you for all your hard work you did in 2022 and I'll be watching you in 2023. X
Me too!
Eggnog it's so good, I definitely have to make some, with some days of maturation in the fridge it's still better because the flavors mellow and integrate better
True cinnamon is Ceylon cinnamon. The other is Cassia and is actually toxic if taken in excess, but won’t hurt you in small quantities. Most supermarkets sell Cassia.
I have the cheapest ever egg nog by just using a box or packet vanilla instant whip or pudding mix then using twice the amount of milk required and a shake of all spice and grated nutmeg whipped up in the blender and viola 👍🏼❤️
Barry and Becky sing the songs of Christmas🎶🎶🎶 love it!
Ceylon is the "True" cinnamon it has a slight citrus scent and less of the *Coumarin,* meaning that it is safer to consume in large quantities.
Man, Eggnog is one of those things I've always wanted to make myself but never looked up the recipe. Might give it a try now!
I always use the Madagascar vanilla and I grate the nutmeg. I truly believe you can taste the difference from the cheap ingredients. The vanilla can be pricey but I think it's worth it. It would be interesting to compare the ready made you buy the dairy section to the steep you made.
I love my eggnog it’s one of the best parts of Christmas
12:49 bookmarking this to listen to Barry say the word 'Bourbon' later as a pick me up
Loved this video! You lovely people need to try a Puerto Rican drink called Coquito. Hope you will love that drink! Happy Holidays to you and your family! Stay blessed!
Mrs B is coming with the sass on this one 🤣
Having just the box isn't just limited to higher end super markets you get in all of them in order to prevent shoplifting. When I worked in one of the more middle ground super markets it was typically any drink over £30 was just a box and the drink was stored elsewhere, although in that case you would take the box to the checkout when you were ready to pay and then the checkout staff would then go and get it to put it through with you order.
If you're not aware, 568 mL is the UK pint, and 473 mL is the US pint, so perhaps the recipe you're following is a US recipe. Here in NZ we standardised to a metric pint of 600 mL for some reason.
the whole nutmeg keeps for a very long time and is brilliant I know prefer to the ground nutmeg
A very delicate pop 😂😂😂
Hello. I would love to see a Cheap vs Steep in regards to Cheesecake. I do love a good NY style Cheesecake.
Cheaper just to buy a bottle of Warnicks Advacaat, one of Holland’s biggest exports
13:00 Barry from a certain U.K. supermarket (you regularly use) you could have got a 35cl bottle of rum for £5.75
I saw the cream in the garage and my first thought was all my neighborhood cats knocking down walls to get in! Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2023!!
Cheap rum is often cut with grain alcohol to make a batch stretch.
I've seen videos where people make their own vanilla extract. I would love to see your take on it vs. storebought. And maybe making other extracts.
Barry! A little explanation on why the other rum might be smoother. That plantation is CASK strength rum and is taken directly from the bottle. The other is probably blended and lesser proof. That being said, it's personal preference at the end of the day
Now then Mr B....I have a local egg producer (no not a chicken, but a chicken farm on the doorstep) and they have said that the egg shortage is 90% due to the supermarkets refusing to BUY the eggs at the higher price the farms requested due to the cost of producing said eggs almost doubling........fun story eh
I'm pretty sure this comment is going to get buried (mine always do!), but there's no egg shortage in the UK. The supermarkets are refusing to pay the poultry farmers a fair price for their eggs, so the farmers are refusing to release them. Supermarkets are claiming this is a shortage because it makes the farmers look bad, when the reality is the supermarkets, who can afford a higher wholesale price, are pushing to keep their profits at maximum, thereby shafting both the producers and consumers. Most supermarkets have used this as an opportunity to simply raise the price of eggs, beyond the reasonable level you'd expect from supply and demand.
I don't expect you, a busy TH-cam guy or even the busy person reading this comment, to keep up with this sort of thing, so I'm not offended or anything. I'm mainly here to present the actual narrative, rather than the ones supermarkets want you to believe. They already own your perception, don't let them own the narrative too :)
Interesting! Thanks for typing! How do you know this perchance?
Same here in the states but some people just don't get it.
There is avian flu going about around the south of England, my cafe source egg from a local farm and they had to cull a lot of chickens because of it. It’s been quite tragic for some farmers but both are probably true
Since you love spiced rum, you should make some of your own spiced rum. Combine the Spice you like and White rum
If you liked that, grab yourself some Advocaat - it's a creamy, eggy, sweet and quite alcoholic drink from The Netherlands. I got some myself a couple days ago from Sainsbury's, my fav combination so far is advocaat, single cream and orange juice. Lovely.
The expensive vanilla is so worth it, because it keeps basically forever. And freshly grated nutmeg is just miles better than the jarred stuff. You can go with a cheaper recipe and use fresh nutmeg to elevate it.
Cheap vs steep cinnamon rolls or chocolate chip cookies would be fun! ❤️❤️❤️
merry christmas..
there are two plants sold as cinnamon, so i'm guessing the "true" cinnamon is ceylon cinnamon. the cheap one might also be ceylon, but it's probably cassia, a cheaper alternative. they are actually different in a meaningful way, but if it's not the main flavor it doesn't usually make much of a difference.
I love the occasional casual curse from Mrs. B. 😂
Yeah 'Glimmer of Beige' is quite a good Album! Very funny but I don't get the joke! Excellently funny video, with a good mix of humour through out. Keep up the reasonably funny video as ever. Thanks
I wonder if you age it a couple days the flavor might develop as the spices extract into solution. Alton Brown released a special aged eggnog recipe that has a lot of alcohol in it which prevents spoilage during aging. Some youtubers have tried aging it a year with pleasant results.
Thank you Barry! Just received your cameo video for my fiancée Irina. It was superb!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely personal message. Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Lewis family ❤️
I have started buying the expensive milk as I like the carton option. It is also very nice milk and I like a glass of milk in the evening.
Here in Denmark we ONLY have the cartons. We have ALOT of options in the milk cooler though.
Pardon if there are tonnes of comments about this:
It's possible you bought Cinnamon and Ceylon. The latter gets sold a *lot* as "cinnamon" but is a different plant. It's like wasabi - most people even in Japan have never tasted actual wasabi because it's a pain to grow. It's a bit hard to find real cinnamon in some places.
Oddly enough, I made egg nog for the first time a couple days ago - just slightly too early to try your recipe. I was surprised how much better it tasted the next day.
I'd love to see a 'medium remakes'for where steep wins and you remake cheap adding in those more expensive items that you think tipped the balance.
'Borben'! I love it, it's pronounced 'Burbin' even with the funny spelling of Bourbon.
Could it be a British thing? (Or are you British?)
"Omelette in a glass" makes me think of alternative cooking and serving methods. Sort of like brownies microwaved in a mug.
Not only the price is different but also the quality is different.
The expensive one is real cinnamon.
Cheaper cinnamon is lower quality and is usually leftovers from production but also a different kind of cinnamon that is a family member of cinnamon
The cheap looks more appealing with the lighter color and maybe use the expensive liquor. Good video. 🎄
Great video as always. could you look to do a best of both option, mixed the cheapest ingredients with only the steep ingredients which you think make the difference and then compare the taste of price.
Nutmeg is more of an aromatic than a flavor, and preground goes to something like sawdust quickly. Why I have grated my own for years, now.
Probably the majority of the steep flavor is the fresh nutmeg.
Yup. It oxidizes extremely fast and loses all the nuances in the flavour.
Once I started grinding my own (giggitty) I never went back to pre-ground.
I'd be willing to bet that its the same for most pre-ground spices too.
Grind you own spices if you can ladies and gentlemen, it is a night-and-day difference.
@@The_Keeper Only cinnamon seems to keep its flavor. Anything older than 6 months is generally tasteless in both spices and herbs. And can be bought already tasteless after sitting in a warehouse for long periods of time.
You need to try the Brita filter posh rum to see if it improves the flavour.
Just in time
Yum!!
In South Africa we can get whole cinnamon and cassia. The one looks like odd shaped bits of bark and the other like it was scraped of the tree, rolled and then dried. I prefer the taste of the more barklike one. I'm not sure, but I think it is the cassia. Not sure which one gets sold ground.
A Yule log cheap v steep would be great!
I do enjoy a good eggnog🎄🎅❄
Still think they should do a 3rd using what they think is the stuff from the steep they think makes the biggest difference and then all the rest from the cheap
That is a good bottle of rum you got there, the Plantation I mean
Eggnog is eggcellent lol
It is, cracking drink
40 pounds is expensive rum over there? That's a normal bottle here. Oh and the stores here wouldn't do all those security protocols unless it cost several hundred dollars.
You should make a traditional Christmas cake cheap versus steep
And if you take that nice steep rum and slice open some vanilla beans and place them in, then next year you will have some really luxory vanilla essence.
I had to look up that rum. Best price near me is 62USD which is 50GBP. I hate to say it but I think you actually got a good deal.
Like the xmas jumpers
*shakes fist* Darn you, false cinnamon! You got us again!!
Thanks
