YAY Sponsor! No, I'm not being sarcastic. I love it when a KZbinr I've been watching since they only had a thousand subs, start to get sponsorships. It's really awesome and I feel so proud, silly as that is.

[@cheekobandit5237]

he has got sponsored throughout his career? what are you on about

[@marriedstarprestige5647]

@@cheekobandit5237 LOOOOOOOL

[@Gentleman-Of-Culture]

And that KZbinr don't have the decency to reply or give a heart emoji. Seems he doesn't give a shit about you or his subscribers

[@Cyborcat]

I'm so glad Basil is feeling better ^.^

[@masterflicks4950]

Literally sat down to eat dinner when this dropped. The series is that special video you find to eat with. Might just be me being weird

[@ASBO_LUTELY]

I'm about to cook some out of date burgers!

[@RazgulTheKind]

@@ASBO_LUTELY Did you die? We need an update.

[@ChefSebastian587]

Wild rice isn't usually crunchy, unless it's prepared incorrectly.

[@ricequin]

Saffron is the stamen of a particular type of crocus. It’s expensive because it’s harvested by hand and you don’t hurt much from a flower.

[@karatefella]

Hi Mike. I have a suggestion for a future Week On ! I have been diagnosed with Pancreatitis and Gall Stones and so have been forced to go on a Low Fat diet. How about a Week On Low Fat foods, to give me and others in my situation, some ideas for tasty meals ? Thanks, Andy from Birkenhead on the Wirral.

[@ctkachuk08]

My sister just got diagnosed with gall stones and has to eat low fat as well. I second this!

[@wesleydavenport6659]

That's the most animated I think I've ever seen Basil and it filled me with joy!

[@DJDonnelly]

Can you do Asda's extra special range?

[@deeacrt2808]

I thought croissants are like 80% butter anyway 😄 I love that you add more!

[@ashwee141]

You should do a week on, where you yourself cooks your subscribers recipes.

[@willbutler2850]

Sainsbury’s taste the difference salted caramel cookies are absolutely banging, hope you enjoy Mike

[@becky_naomi]

Do you have many places near you that are on the ' Too good to go' app? That could be a good week on

[@spiderlily723]

Saffran is actually JUST the stigma and styles of the flower - so the tiny, thin threads that hold the pollen. That's why it's so bloody expensive, because you need like a field to get 5 grams.

[@jimmy75256]

Plus it is all hand harvested

[@Rpground]

Not just that, it needs to be harvested by hand or it gets ruined. And it's time you can pick it is extremely specific or it's again, ruined. It's next to impossible to automate any process of saffron, it's actually surprising considering how advanced we are.

[@MrAshtute]

A wise man once said 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

[@uegk-zb9xp]

Lol

[@CarlRyds]

As someone who loves Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference, this week on will be interesting. Hopefully I’ll find some new things to try and not be shouting at my iPad going “You’re wrong Mike, it’s all lovely!” hehe

[@awkie]

that carton of eggs at the beginning had me genuinely stressed

[@rach3511]

A week on Croissants 😂🤮 So happy Basil is back to himself ❤️

[@TheCotzi]

the problem is with the brands from brands like that they arent rly better they cost more most of the time and are marketet in "Cool Boxes" thats what i think at least fdrom where i live

[@JohnsDrams]

My favourite bit was when the bread collapsed from nervous exhaustion.

[@10191927]

Mike getting sponsorships?! 😲👍 Way to go Mike, I’m happy for you!

[@claireross8267]

If you’re going to keep speaking about it can you decide if it’s bourguignon or stroganoff please Mike 🤣

[@MsCholmondley-Warner]

Oooooooo-I work for Sainsbury’s(actually leaving this week) so this’ll be interesting 😃

[@behappy-kn6xl]

Hi Mike I hope you are all doing well your videos are absolutely amazing and helped my mental health during the lockdown

[@tomnorman6562]

mike you should remake the week on tesco value to see if it has improved, i think a lot of us found ur channel from that series so would be nice to see it return

[@ddelta460]

I absolutely love sainsburys. Its a brand I trust so much

[@queenoftheworld_]

I LOVE that chicken and prawn paella. Every supermarket I’ve been to (well, tesco, asda) has the same one which to me suggests they just distribute the ‘best’ quality ones for the finest ranges as you have here, and the lesser good ones to the budget ranges (in tesco I think they’re branded as Tesco’s own diet range?)

[@justme002]

A gold bar is 11.3 kilograms and worth about $750K USD. Saffron is about $10K per kilogram. So not quite, but it's expensive.

[@stephjellybean]

I love how Mike can't get over what he spent on it as a whole that every piece of food is worth £119 haha 😂 the crossaints we're £1.75 we're they £1.75 good? Seemed to be!

[@zsandmann]

Mom can we get Honey? We have Honey at home. Honey at home... pouch

[@Lavandulaaa]

Yay another week on!!

[@jodiestewart93]

I work at sainsburys and lots of people buy just taste the difference the lasagne and beef hash is really nice

[@OswestryGrey]

Good to hear Basil talk.

[@mrgreatbritain]

I’ve not watched you in ages, and come back to find all these “week ons”… looks like I’ve got some catching up to do!

[@jowakley7209]

Don’t know if it makes any difference to you Mike, I usually skip through the sponsored bits of KZbin videos but because you don’t often do them and I think it’s great that you got a sponsor I watched it 😊

[@isobelmcfadyen4625]

Tell Grace saffron is from crocuses. You should do a week on Aldis posh range. They do click and collect now

[@tianyuwang8559]

An average weekly shop comes to about 100 quid now, so 119 quid (minus delivery charge like you said) isn't actually too bad for a supermarket's best range weekly shop in my opinion!

[@JLR-gf3le]

Don’t ever stop Mike

[@nomorecocktails]

12:32 Crocus sativus to be precise; I sell them where I work

[@emmacassidy8482]

Love the sarcasm at the start

[@ironox8480]

Stroganoff is usually made with sour cream No brandy in sight but it is an amazing meal. Usually served on either egg noodles, rice or potatoes.

[@haydenatkins9326]

Superb.

[@Tracey2719]

Im gunna enjoy this week on😃 good choice of a week on Mike 👏 Me and my hubby have sainsbury's taste the difference foods and we love it🤗 I also give my cats the taste the difference prawns 🐾🤗

[@ddelta460]

Awww I bet they enjoy the prawns. That is so cute and made me smile. Thank you 🐈‍⬛

[@supersonicvyper]

You should do more supermarket brand foods! Everyone loves these content type

[@xenaburg2362]

Love butter croissant in the morning especially fresh baked ones 🥐🥐

[@kinagrill]

I mean Saffron should be sweet and floral in it's taste so if you begin adding more heavy spices and flavorings, you sorta loose out on the saffron. It did say Spicy chorizo, yes? also you could taste various other things like paprika and such.

[@charisse234]

Hey my fix of weekon is back.am looking forward to this one.so much better than the last one.happy days! Peace and love 💛

[@gizzygibbs]

Wow going to be a good week on Mike. :)

[@Djappyd]

I’d be curious to see the Aldi price match range as a week on.

[@styxdragoncharon4003]

You made my wife shriek with that tower of food collapsing. Thanks, Mike.

[@owensjl65]

Custard on the sponges ……required.

[@chezziesiberz]

A WEEK ON BAKED FOODS BROUGHT AND HOME MADE xx

[@ellem2293]

YAY!!! I use Sainsburys, most is ok. The real cheap ready meals are grose but thats the same with all supermarket basic cheaper meals.. some are really vile lol

[@trogdor8764]

Are you trying to give us all heart attacks with that intro Mike?!

[@darkfangnightcrow]

I remember having a reduced most expensive paella from Asda once when I got lucky one night and got it for £1.23 when it's original price was £6 and it was pretty good but better with quite a bit of lemon juice to cut the rich and salt.

[@vezhopkins714]

Saffron comes from crocus flowers 😉 my cats go bonkers for prawns to 😄

[@gausssto570]

Why can't you have the potatoes for dinner? It's starch and cheese just like the mac.

[@Shazia44]

Not your regular content but please do a bedroom makeover video! The bedding and blinds look great

[@poodles4evr]

Speaking of Sainsburys substitutions, I once ordered a cocktail shaker, and they delivered a Pyrex jug...

[@shruggie]

My Dad used to work for Sainsbury's as a delivery driver and a picker gave him a pillow case as a replacement for the duvet cover that the customer wanted..

[@justme002]

Nothing says quality croissant like being hefty...

[@nicojochems]

I want that dinosaur clock you have in the kitchen, I love it

[@denisehuston2573]

Yaaay Basil feeling better!

[@donnabannon8004]

Beef bourgiugnon!!! Thought it was beef stroganoff mike!!??😂glad ur bk luv u and basil❤

[@pennyh4021]

So nice to see you enjoying your food Mike, there were some yummy things there! Safron comes from a crocus flower.

[@jamesfry8983]

Saffron also has the most vitamin C by weight, which when you think back in the day all those merchants sailing about could of stopped there scurvy if only they knew

[@SavageBroadcast]

3:47 stamping this for the accent.

[@HaydenX]

Wild rice should be al dente, but not crunchy. Wild rice is one of my favorite flavors in the world...that savory herbal flavor is so good, especially when sprinkled into pilafs and the like.

[@GothicKittyMadness]

Mike actually managed to get me to want to try Pouch! But it doesn't work on Safari. -_- Irony!

[@tokyokatt75]

VIDEO SUGGESTION A DAY ON THEME PARK FOOD! I love your oblivion poster I hope there’s some nemesis merch

[@NQYsarge]

The steak burgers are absolutely worth paying for!

[@prudies.3375]

I love a week on 💜💜💜💜

[@naomifrench4853]

Dauphenois and veg is a great dinner :)

[@bobrogers4019]

I hope he does his Tesco Finest posh voice!

[@H0lyMoley]

Oh dear. I've had some really dodgy stuff from Sainsbury's. Don't shop there now unless I need something specific that only they stock. Be interested to see if their "taste the difference" range is any better than their "fresh" bread (tastes of crude oil and salt).

[@H0lyMoley]

Also I'm glad you liked the Stroganoff... I've had their "non" TtD version, and it's one of the worst things I've ever eaten. (Man I feel like a Tesco shill right now.) I don't know how much the TtD version is better. No plans to find out. Nice to discover that even Sainsbury's can't mess up a croissant though. In all fairness, that looked legit good.

[@drweb3]

No doubt about Sainsburys taste the difference range

[@nibbigger5103]

Yes another week on!!! I’m so excited

[@dannyfitz1878]

Woah, long time no see, not sure why the last week on never popped up in my subs but on the bright side I've got a full week of that to catch up on 😅

[@WDeranged]

I'm a regular Sainsburys shopper and I've had most of these meals. Spoiler alert, they're really nice.

[@ASBO_LUTELY]

but did you go to the trouble of plating them or eat them from the plastic bowl like a normal person?

[@MatsJPB]

So macaroni with cheese is a meal, but _potatoes_ with cheese _and_ cream isn't? =D

[@kaycollarfeild]

Yeah , I mean potatoes really need some extra to be a meal. Though I'd probably just add bacon to each and then be fine either way

[@FluffyDragon]

@@kaycollarfeild What, compared to the taste sensation of *pasta*? Yeah, I'm not understanding the logic here

[@kaycollarfeild]

@@FluffyDragon I feel pasta with sauce or cheese is a meal. Potato's with cheese is just a side. Gotta add meat or beans for it to be a meal

[@dongatello6969]

This reminds me of the Ferrari 430 scudaria

[@Jussy833]

What a great way to start a new week-on! :D Glad Basil's feeling better too! My own doggie, Bonnie nips sometimes when we feed her as well, hehe.

[@adamharris-batt6333]

Get that bread!

[@kittysmith6224]

You should do a "be good to yourself" video next. It's the healthy stuff in sainsbury's...

[@PHS.44]

Butter AND jam maybe..??

[@JRWeezy84]

Mike how tall are you?

[@paulwilkins]

I LIVE FOR WEEK ONS.

[@Bessie66]

Any alcohol included in that shopping? 😞

[@Ben-rr5su]

My girlfriend and I love your videos, we think you should do a tier list of all the foods you have eaten this week. Could be a cool video :)

[@joelsham]

lad you need a camera that films higher quality than 360p 🤣😭

[@joelsham]

@@Farquad76.547 ok jan

[@Brua58]

All ready meals?? Salt, salt and more and more salt!

[@tonyfoster61]

It's a Crocus stigma

[@TastesLikeChicken3]

Week on OMAD, if you haven't already. Should help counter the cost of this week on :)

[@markiangooley]

My problem with eating OMAD almost every day is that I buy too much food now. If I can stop doing that I might actually save money…

[@TastesLikeChicken3]

@@markiangooley My snack cupboard has never looked so full! Don't have them that often and if I do, it's usually just something small. Likewise; saving money would be great too, but still stock up too much :)

[@yroppoor]

ohhh how posh lol if you are a beer drinker the IPA is very nice of TTD

[@annelisewhite6244]

Mac and cheese is just carbs in a cheese sauce so potatoes is the same thing really. Or look at it like a jacket potato with cheese?

[@annelisewhite6244]

I also loved the initial description of the paella 'it's salty, meaty, spicy, paprikary' that would be the chorizo then 🤣🤣

[@sinverguenza8680]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[@samhenwood5746]

Taste the different Sainsbury’s food is very expensive but not always delicious 😒

[@TheSpannerJNR]

This will be fun

[@DepressedLemur9]

Hey, I totally forgot you exist lol, youtube somehow stopped showing me your videos. I'm glad you're still being you.

[@blackwidowmollie]

Has he done a week on American yet?

[@BugsyFoga]

Wow , this week on came out pretty fast.

[@Bessie66]

[@s125ish]

True, Sainsbury's try to be all for everyone now, lost their way

Do a month on a calorie deficit or keto or something
