Fish swim bladder is used to produce wine. Which is why most wines aren't vegan.
The boys might be more interested in another use for fish maw- isinglass, which is used to clarify beer.
At that price, and from that fish, it absolutely is pretentious af. They've figured out how to upsell fish guts from cod caught hand over fist by industrial trawlers. It's great as far as tail-to-scale eating goes but that price is a joke.
Anyone else clock the Swim Bladder packaging managed to spell Asian wrong? "Asain experience…" 😁😁
best before 11/1/2024??? hello?? its expired
Chinese traditional medicine and food are responsible for so much poaching and animal cruelty. Catching sharks, cutting off their fins, and dumping them back into the ocean to die. It is horrific, and you shouldn’t be casually mentioning shark fin soup like it’s a perfectly normal dish, and saying it’s a Chinese treasure without mentioning anything of the plight of the sharks. Not cool guys. You’re always trying to think about green practices, less food waste, grow your own, etc, I expected better of you than to normalise shark fin soup. To finish off the segment with a superstitious utterance of “health, wealth, and prosperity” was also awful. That sort of thinking is what leads to the demand for rhinos to be killed just for some powdered horn. I am shocked by you with this one.
Caviar is always pretentious…
All of Norway eating it from a tube every morning: what?
I have to say, for the seaweed caviar;
My parents grew up in Russia and salmon roe on little pieces of bread with butter is a staple of New Years Eve. They love it! It’s great, buttery, salty, and a wonderful appetizer. I tried to try it and it turns out that I’m VERY allergic to any kind of caviar. My lips ballooned to three times the size, and I’m very glad I didn’t get it in my mouth and eat it. So vegan caviar has been a life saver (literally!) during new years! It’s absolutely delicious and if I could have real caviar I would, but when my parents first saw this alternative they came home so excited to show me, I loved seeing the excitement in their eyes from their mini discovery. We’ve been enjoying more food together ever since!

It is quite pleasant and very decorative. But at £4, you're paying double of the price here in Denmark.
And the laughtrackesque start kills the video. Stop it, please, just stop.
That swim bladder pairs best with lukewarm water and a bay leaf.
Audience shows are so cringe when done in this format. Keep it for live shows. Watching this feels like one of those awful kitchen shows from 20 years ago. There is a reason those dont show up on telly any more.
the LV spread is past it's best before date
18:03 no one wanna talk about the fact the chocolate spread is almost a year out of date? 👀
If a £100 bottle of wine isn't pretentious, I honestly don't see why the tea would be
I’ve waited a while to post more feedback about the new studio so I’d think it through instead of just complaining because something is new and I think I’m ready.
– you guys have grown up, you all want to go home to your families instead of fooling around at work or filming intricate bits like fridge cam. While we the audience are still stuck in the “let’s let Barry nap on the couch while we taste his dish” dynamic. We’re going to have to get used to it but it isn’t fun.
– the studio has always been your place of work but in the past you’ve gone to great lengths to make it not look like that. The new studio looks definitely like work but also still unprofessional with the weird reflective windows in the back. It clashes with you guys trying to make it look cozy and now it just looks weird. You probably should’ve gone full Bon Appétit test kitchen to remove the cognitive dissonance.
– of course for you this has always been work and you’ve always been performing but again you’ve worked hard to make it not look like you are. The audience completely shatters the illusion (also for you guys, not editing stuff out you don’t want to see on the internet). We can’t relate to the audience at all and it gives it a weird breakfast tv feeling and you guys feel “on” in a weirdly American way.
– it’s especially odd because you’re not actually a cooking channel. Like, has there been an actual recipe on here over the past 5 years? The whole channel is an ad for your app really so we watch it like a sitcom. That makes the “canned laughter” so much worse.
I can get past the ugly studio and the efficient style but I’m not sure I’ll ever want to watch the audience videos.
Their definition of pretensious has changed over the years. I'd be curious if they would still call products from the first few videos pretensious.
Nobody would think you're pretentious for using the fake caviar. It's as pretentious as surimi sushi.
They'd rather think you're poor.
It’s really funny and pretty sad how “just cold Lipton ice tea” suddenly turns sooo special and delicious once they know the price.
Who else snapshotted the ingredients for the Luis Vuitton chocolate hazelnut stuff, looks like one I'd like to try making. I once heard a comedian describe Nutella as "chocolate flavoured vegetable grease" but this stuff's first ingredient is hazelnuts!
I wish that in the coming year, live audiences will become a thing of the past and cease to return.
are they dressing up because of the audience
I would love to see the team try to recreate the chocolate spread on camera.
This is a pretty normal product in Denmark, it can be found in all big supermarkets, and is often used for special dinners, that arent kaviar-special
Love the tea!!
Really muddy audio mix. Trying too much with 3 presenters, music, audience, ambient room sounds, and sound effects all at the same time – with them all fighting each other at the same time. Need to cut most of the music out.
Definitely agree with Ebbers comment about food alternatives being so highly processed and not really that great for us.
The fish maw would not be pretentious in China and while it would show a degree of wealth in the UK or elsewhere, if it's a cultural holiday ingredient used for those purposes, it seems less so.
The tea is pretentious in the UK or outside of Japan, but I am not sure if it is AS pretentious in Japan where the culture around tea is more like the culture around wine elsewhere and you would not say a wine was pretentious just because of that price (expensive, yes, maybe not worth it if you are not an oenophile, but not instantly pretentious).
Please lose the live audience.
