  • It’s time for another pretentious ingredients episode where we ask our normals, Jamie and Mike, to taste and review a selection of ingredients that may OR may not be… showing off! There’s nothing like a bit of glitz and glamour to spice up your Wednesday.
    You can find out more about the ingredients we reviewed in the links below. Just so you know, some of these might be affiliate links, which means if you buy something from the store after clicking on them, the store will pay us a percentage of your basket... This doesn't cost or change anything else for you!

      SailorIda3 here’s the thing. The amount of money the crown gets, including security, allowances for purchasing, is dwarfed by the amount of money they bring in through tourism, merchandising and land. 95% of the land the royal family own is controlled by the government, and it claims almost the entirety of its revenue.
      Add to that the fact that the royals are unpaid ambassadors to other nations, living representations of our history, and hold next to no real power, there is quite literally no reason to remove them.
      I appreciate your point, but the fact of the matter is they’re worth far more to us financially than they cost to keep.

    The dragees in Catalonia ( and I guess in Spain, but I don’t remember the name in Spanish ) are called “confits” and are also typical for weddings and baptisms, but not golden, in pastel colors. Ok, I checked, in Spanish are calle “peladillas”.
    Maybe it is me, but they feel old fashioned. They are traditional but it is one of those traditions that feel (to me) passè. I see in the comments it seems to be a Mediterranean thing. I love the comments, and the videos, of course,

    • @erzsebetkovacs2527
      @erzsebetkovacs2527 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are old fashioned, indeed, as they originate from the Middle Ages (that's also why they are called Jordan almonds).

    @IliasStogiannos 3 ปีที่แล้ว +74

    Actually, dragees (not the golden ones, unless you want to be looked at like a crazy person) are very famous in Greece and are given at weddings and naming ceremonies for babies. They usually come in various colours and have almond or chocolate inside

      Yes! I'm not Greek, but I definitely remember them from when my little (Belgian) cousins were born. My Dutch family didn't do that when me and my siblings were born, but we have something else called beschuit met muisjes, which are basically just very cute mini dragees with aniseed inside served on bread rusk :)

    In Italy we use confetti (the almond treats) as a gift for big celebrations, such as weddings or religious events! They put them in small, posh bags. Many people keep them for memory, as they don’t really spoil. I wouldn’t say they are pretentious, they’re more of a traditional thing! I do think those were overpriced, as confetti made of just almond and coating are usually the least expensive ones ☺️

    • @elgarsfaith3194
      @elgarsfaith3194 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ps, little curiosity; for us, when we say confetti we think of those treats. English “confetti” for us is “coriandoli”; I remember when we first learned of this difference, many of us were so confused for a second!

    4:06 Sugar coated almonds are super common at Greek weddings and Baptism parties. They usually come in a baggie with the name of the couple or the baby. Some people eat them but most people I’ve met just keep them and place the baggie on a wall somewhere with other memory decor.
