@@Exayevie True. Iodized salt doesn't have as clean of a taste as some other salts. I have heard many chefs say they prefer not to use it. My question was really just to understand what is considered "table salt" in the UK.

"A chef isn't just for Christmas; a chef is for life." Wise words, Mike. A chef may look cute all wrapped up under your Christmas tree, but remember your commitment to them goes beyond just a simple Christmas gift. Chefs need kitchen space to roam around in, ingredients to experiment with, and knives to play with. Know what you're getting into before gifting someone a chef.

Me too. I once lived in Alaska and everything there was very expensive. A native friend of mine caught a school of salmon.

It was truly a godsend at the time, but now, 40 years later, I can’t stand the sight, smell or taste of salmon. In fact, just the smell of it ruins my appetite...

Thank You for the turkey recommendation... I buy free range chicken, and it took a while to process the differences, but honestly if we want to keep eating meat and being moral humans, we have to accept the differences. Also the give away on the cheese plate was the blue cheese. You see the straight lines in the less expensive blue cheese, that's where the cheese has been pierced in order to allow the mold to penetrate more quickly, speeding the aging process.

The one year I did a fresh bird, it still cost me only $30 and it came out just as good.

I absolutely agree. If you can, spend more on the hero of the dish for a once a year celebration, and less on the other sides (but ideally all well sourced and cooked with pleasure). A turkey is huge and will feed many - if you know how they are raised I think most will opt for the well raised ones. Others can be jammed in crowded dark barns, injected with things to seem juicier, bought in frozen lumps. Don't go for that. Once a year, don't spend on socks for gifts, spend on a delicious special supper to be shared by all together.

It sounded to me like to cost of delivery (as Ben said it was delivered to their door) was included in the price. I live in rural USA, but can still get fresh turkeys in the local supermarket. If I drive 35 minutes to a moderate sized city and a stand alone butcher shop I can get a heritage bird, free range, organic (all the pricey adjectives) still for far less than any delivery service would charge. While Ben tried to prepare the birds to be as close as possible, buying one in a store and having one delivered is a huge difference

[@1stGruhn]

As someone who has assisted in the raising of chickens and has had friends who raised turkeys, I knew just by looking which one was the more expensive. Small batch, truly free range and organic birds are move too much to be fat and eat bugs and such making them more lean and with tougher meat. Same applies to cattle, generally speaking. Large scale farmers keep the animals from moving to increase fat content and feed grain to again increase fat content and keep flavor consistent. If left to graze, you will get a more gamy flavor and it won't be consistent across different animals unless measures are taken to ensure feed type consistency. By crowding a large coop/feed lot you increase production per acre/hectare (thus are able to decrease price due to economy of scale) but will need to feed antibiotics in feed to keep the vary prominent risk of disease in check due to overcrowding. By contrast, true free range and organic farms will need to use more land per animal and will loose bulk due to that animal moving around. But the animal will be healthier thus you can get away with not using as many medical interventions.

[@richardp5920]

There observations on the different salts are solely the different grind size. Grind size can affect your measurements when cooking, as coarser grinds will trap more air, and you’ll actually get less per measured amount (unless you go by weight). Chemically, “table” salt and “sea” salt are the same. Both are sodium chloride. Both can be iodized or not. Sea salt is usually sold as “coarse ground”, but can be found as finely ground as table salt. The only real difference is how each are acquired. Sea salt is far more environmentally friendly, as it only involves evaporating sea water. Table salt is usually mined.

I’m gonna be first to say it Who’s here from sidemen’s new cooking vid

[@WhySoInstant]

Yes lad

[@jessicam6881]

I'm sorry but a fresh turkey like that would be around $130 for my family! We can't spend that kind of $ on the whole meal, much less just one part.

I really loved this video, I could watched for hours. I was really sad it was over. Please make more of these please!

[@tapiocastar1390]

Champagne comparisons would be interesting!

[@yebany9662]

Anyone here from Sidemen? lol

[@snake052]

You need to do an episode where Ben and James both compete in a chef vs chef battle but the caveat being they can only choose to use items from a selection of cookwear they hated from the kitchen review episodes. Merry Christmas lads 😄

Jamie: what I don't like about salmon is texture, smell and flavor. Barry's reaction to blue cheese is Jamie's to salmon. James wasn't enjoying the Brie jokes and... A chef is for life not just for Christmas was 😍😍😍

Buy a great turkey this Christmas, buy local, and certainly from your home nations! Support your local farmers this Christmas, like Ben said, spend a little bit more, it’s Christmas and it’s a once a year thing. Spend that little bit more supporting your local farmers, and then it’s more sustainable, you can trust where it comes from and the welfare I can predict is incredible and it will help them out during this tough time for the whole agricultural industry! Merry Christmas everyone, from a farmers daughter :)
