A Week On Tesco Finest DAY 2

[@mitchfletch]

You’re actually both the most entertaining and least entertaining person at the same time and I can’t really wrap my brain around it

[@ImGonnaLive4eva]

I agree. Let’s name it the Jeavons paradox. On the surface he’s the most normal, least entertaining person, but I enjoy watching his videos and can’t explain why.

[@starsigngirl9789]

Agreed I love this bloke

[@Suzilaurajones88]

This is basically exactly how I felt about mike when I first discovered his channel but now I’m all “you cross him, you cross me!” it’s like Stockholm syndrome but not horrendous.

[@Purplekitty8923]

Your comment makes absolutely no sense coz either is or isn’t entertaining.

[@olliegoodchild-horne9728]

how to butter a croissant like a psychopath

[@josephrolando5616]

/ like a very lazy person who can't be bothered.

[@TrinaMadeIt]

I literally screamed at my phone ‘what are you fucking doing you monster?!?!?’

[@joshuasmith7855]

Made me wonders if I've been doing it wrong all these years

[@JollyRogerTheDodger]

That's his you're supposed to do it. Philistines.

[@concaveUsurper]

As a baker, I know croissants are 95% butter. He basically just ate a stick of butter with some flour mixed in.

[@Pbchelt]

How about a week on locally sourced produce? Meat from a local farm, bread from a local baker etc......

[@astralynex2439]

travelman1983 Yes!!!

[@flobbertop4278]

He would have to cook, like really cook...

[@cjrko]

There isn't any local,any more

[@Pbchelt]

@@cjrko where I am in rural England it could be done with a little thought.

[@cjrko]

@@Pbchelt I wish there was more local then a coop hahahahah

[@jazzblackwell6142]

Mike I love you mate but you buttered that croissant like a serial killer wtf.

[@Shazia44]

Jazz Blackwell I know! He didn’t even cut it in half 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@peppybocan]

well, he only wanted to be sure that it will go in smoothly...

[@a.z7469]

Or tear a piece off! I can honestly say I've never seen anyone do that before

[@SigEpBlue]

Even the laugh is right.

[@upsidedowngrape1316]

It hurt my brain 🙈

[@beaalmeida8066]

Omg cant believe how you put the butter on the croissant 😱😱

[@fooknrazor6155]

Bea Almeida ngl my family does that too haha

[@IsolationJD]

NO YOU CUT IT FGS

[@fooknrazor6155]

my mistake😂

[@josephrolando5616]

should of but it half. and as well as add other topping like Chocolate, Jam, Honey, etc. just saying.

[@lolavonwrinkle1617]

Actually, you’re not meant to cut a croissant in half

[@TacitG]

After the way he buttered that croissant I half expected him to bite right into that orange with the peel on.

[@busofhippies]

When you put more butter on an "All butter" croissant...

[@jpoates]

I never have!

[@nathansmith6914]

It gets even better?

[@AgentTasmania]

Like eggs benedict being eggs with eggs and butter

[@Awakeandalive1]

Oh boy! Another episode of "The Basil Show" featuring Basil's comedic sidekick, Mike! (Would watch...)

[@thesweetestlaax8791]

Week on retro food recipes!

[@scriobhme]

Yes! From each decade

[@DJDonnelly]

When you get 1 million subscribers will you do a week on cat food?

[@blairashby7334]

2.25 for the pasta dish 5p pasta 20p pesto 40p fancy cheese The mark up is AMAZING

[@prudies.1433]

Parmigiano Reggiano is quite expensive tho. Least I think it is.

[@daisugoi]

In all fairness, it's a fair price considering cheap pastas and sandwiches at any supermarket are roughly the same in mark up.

[@drunkrdm]

didn't add in the pine nuts or spinich

[@Rowankeenanx3]

Daisy Sanders my college used to think a plain ham sandwich was worth £2.50. Talk about shit markups

[@ImGonnaLive4eva]

Pine nuts Spinach Olive oil

[@fionawalsh1007]

The croissants looked divine. Always a joy to see Basil your cat is adorable. Loving the week on to ☺☺

[@ryanmg92]

What people do with whole milk is enjoy it, semi is fine but skimmed milk..... Might as well not bother

[@matthieumeewis]

I agree, there are people who drink milk with meals, I for a fact prefer whole milk with my lunch. Also, whole milk is good with really spicy food, because the extra fat content helps combat the heat

[@logandh2]

I honestly can’t tell the difference between milk. It’s all just milk to me

[@drunkenhobo8020]

Skimmed milk has such an unsettling colour and consistency. I don't trust those who drink it - they're up to something.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Skimmed is watered gnats piss. No idea how people drink the stuff! Having said that.. that’s coming from someone who got spoilt by growing up on a dairy farm 😬 Whole milk is amazing in porridge 🤤 I do try to drink semi skimmed, but I’ll have full for a treat 👍🏻

[@mcculloch29]

Children under two really need the goodness of whole milk. So, that’s who should be buying it. Or their parents. It’s lovely to see you enjoying your food , Mike. BTW, Ham hock is the cheapest cut of pork, so that’s why you got a decent scrap of meat for the money.

[@redapron5795]

Instead of your weight, you could have had your cholesterol checked before and after this week!

[@MJMS88]

That is a rubbish suggestion!!! If you are going to talk make sure its worth while!!!

[@Mewithabeard]

@@MJMS88 Actually I think it'd be quite interesting to know

[@Cyborcat]

Aww, Basil got tummy rubs ^.^

[@lucaparker1084]

Do a updated week on iceland

[@scriobhme]

Yes!

[@MrAndersonLP]

You're fired.

[@TheRausing1]

Just love how you said good boy to Basil. It was just perfect.

[@EmmaEats]

When he does his posh accent I can’t help but imagine Kim Woodburn and Lady C 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BrenMcCullough]

I hear the actor C. Aubrey Smith!

[@tereless]

Ooo I love Kim! And Aggie too.

[@lauraelizabeth541]

It’s nice to see you actually enjoying some food for a change 😂👍🏻

[@zh84]

I eat some Tesco Finest, but I wouldn't dare attempt a week on it. I hope you had the Tesco Finest Butterscotch Mousse - that really is delicious, and you get a discount if you buy three of them.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Ugh.. that Tesco finest butterscotch mousse! I have to avoid whenever I go in. It’s too good.

[@zh84]

@@LauraBidingCitizen give my love to your cat. Mine is asleep in my jacket.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

zh84 Aw thank you, I sure will, she’ll take all the love & fuss she can get (& gives plenty back ❤️). I have 3 of the little rascals, couldn’t be without them. I love that yours is asleep in your jacket, don’t they find the funniest places to sleep?! Spent so much money over the years on cat beds.. mine would rather sleep on my dressing gown, in doorways or boxes ! Much love to your little furrbaby too :) x

[@simonorourke4465]

@@LauraBidingCitizen My parents have several cats two of whom like to sleep in the bathroom one in the sink and one in the bath. They have worked out how to open the door and just settle in, it can be quite disconcerting when you go to the loo in the night and don't turn the light on quick enough lol. They also used to have one who is now sadly deceased who used to spend half the year living in the hen house with the chickens lol she never touched the hens she just used to sleep up there in the straw by the coop.

[@ruthconnolly5859]

I had literally just lifted my whole milk cup of tea to my mouth as you said "I don't know what people do with whole milk" 😂

Mike's impression of Prince Philip is quite good

@@nesadcruz7840 we have a slight resemblance

[@Brookesey]

A week on "Gold" You can only use items where the packaging is some kind of gold colour or the name is gold.

[@Brookesey]

And you can only watch the UK TV channel Gold.

[@JunKurosu]

@@Brookesey what kind of channel is it?

[@Brookesey]

@@JunKurosu it's a TV channel that plays mostly older British sitcoms like only fools and horses type stuff.

[@ButtonMasherReal]

Just eat Gold bars the whole week.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

ButtonMasher And slabs of Kerry Gold butter.

[@callumelcombe3703]

Whole milk is the best for making coffees, it's also very nice with cereals!

[@johann323]

I don't know about the UK but whole milk in America contains only 3.25% milk fat where cream contains 15% milk fat

[@joshgooner6871]

I’m getting more and more into your book it’s soo good once again well done mate

[@helgmelia84]

Those all-butter croissants need more butter.

[@abzhuofficial]

If only IGN reviewed that: 7/10: Too Much Butter

[@diedertspijkerboer]

So far, I am completely underwhelmed by what Tesco's finest has to offer, especially in the meal department. None of the meals so far has been healthy and many have been fatty. Typically fat is used to enhance flavour that is lacking because foodstuffs with nice flavours are expensive. You'd expect this expensive brand to have less fat and more real flavour. Also, leek and onion are very cheap vegetables. Again, not what you'd expect in expensive food.

[@MCSmally]

They do have some healthier options, they've just not chosen any! Mike tends to get the stuff he thinks sounds good without checking the labels until the video.

[@eparadoxigm9648]

Uh, I use whole milk... as milk. Cause its milk. 2% is acceptable for anything other than cooking. 1% and skim might as well be water.

[@JosephRobinsonSMBX]

Skimmed milk is basically just white water

[@solaireofastora7178]

Jeavons with the Monocle reminds me of the Games Master

[@teespencer725]

Can't wait to read your book 😊 Basil is so cute

[@ApolloChromeGaming]

I’m hoping this was filmed way in advance, and not like yesterday. Cause he might be in for some tummy trouble otherwise. That pasta salad was use by Jan 29.

[@simonorourke4465]

Yeah I think it was filmed ago because yesterday's dinner was use by Jan 28th I think lol

[@MattJames2211]

Butter with the croissants that already have butter on them

[@Pbchelt]

Just no, you don't butter croissant like that. Rip apart or cut in half! Then butter the inside!!

[@jaycobbina9529]

🙄

[@lisamorris7491]

Oh shut the hell up 😩 as if there's not more important things to bother about

[@brianlawson3757]

I'm just glad to see you enjoying yourself with A Week On for a change. Cheers from my side of the pond!😎👍

[@Carlitos_Recomienda]

Croissants are best served with ham and cheese inside of it (like a sandwich), and slightly grilled. Oh yeah

[@MrHar2k]

With that monocle you remind me of Sir Patrick Moore 40 years ago

[@SableRain]

Butter on a croissant, famously made with tons of butter; " Oooh, lovely!" Whole milk in tea; "Ugh, that whole milk is like having tea with cream." Mate, you're probably still tasting the tablespoon of butter you just shoved in your mouth!

[@SusanM92]

I love the blue milk in my tea but I can drink the green and red too I just think the blue gives me a better taste. Xx

[@LordSvzklx]

ooh, I've had that pesto pasta too, have to admit I'm a fan. though my local tesco generally has them under a two for one deal so that solves the "not enough pasta" problem

[@FrostFire1987]

love your content mate, keep up the good work

[@xandervampire195]

What people do with whole milk is the exact same as what people do with skimmed and semi-skimmed milk. The difference is that with whole milk, you get all of the nutritional benefits. It also actually tastes like milk and has the correct consistency as opposed to skimmed and semi-skimmed which honestly is more like water that someone has spat a little baby formula into than actual milk.

[@neiljohnson3068]

Channel Islands milk has a higher butter fat content naturally. Standard whole milk will be several percent lower. I like using channel island milk for rice puddings or anywhere that milk is used in cooking

[@Racecarlock]

I've been replaying the iceland videos recently, so this is absolutely perfect. I don't know why I find this so fascinating, but I do, so there we go.

[@James30573]

Hahah a marks and spencer ad halfway through

[@thecinematicmind]

Good Evening I Say Dear Old Chap!

[@Haplo699g]

The aluminum thing is our fault. We mislabelled it when we sent it across to them.

[@patrice58]

Actually the person that discovered it labeled it himself and the Americans have the pronunciation right. So it's us who are saying it wrong.

[@Haplo699g]

@@patrice58 Well he did, but then he changed his mind, so "technically" ours is correct and they never got the memo. LOL

[@10191927]

No top hat and monocle for Basil? How’s anyone to know that this is a home of high society?

[@carmeenamack]

Been waiting for this all day 🤪

[@peanutpie5042]

Whole milk is the best kind of milk to drink. Why drink milk water when you can have a pint of full fat deliciousness?

[@Jehannum2000]

The vid made me want to try it.

[@Millixxxxxx]

exactly. you can still put water into the whole milk yourself...

[@sophieb7309]

I had one of those croissants toasted with cheese and ham and like it so much I basically just survived for the rest of the day eating the other three. Could happily live off them for the rest of my life.

[@blurredlogic916]

Hey hey, Mike... whole milk is damn good. and creamy goodness is to die for. So shush

[@stevenhawkins2099]

If I put that much butter on a pot noodle it would taste amazing!

[@MDK-fo7jw]

Yay! Posh Mike! I think I like the videos better if you enjoy what you're doing more, maybe I'm not a psychopath after all! How are the booksales going? Will you be doing any celebratory milestones/update videos for your book?

[@samhenwood5746]

Butter on a all buttered croissant super yummy but very rich 🤑🥐

[@masterwolfishentertainment]

Only people who hate life and aren't afraid to die butter croissants like they have nothing to lose

[@vsculpt]

I know right ??? I don't get savoury ones but l love them with really good conserve strawberry l like the best.

[@natalielouise1514]

Love your videos, defo gonna order your book 😃

Dear Mike if my library gets a copy of Viral in and I promise to read it will you drop your monocle in a waste bin? Give Basil a shout out from me.

[@AbhishekTiwari-tt4ew]

No don’t get rid of the monocle I love it it add a certain something.

[@gedtoon6451]

I got the Ham Hock, Leak and Potato Gratin and was surprised how small it was!

[@wdomburg]

America has no shortage of sins to its credit, but "aluminum" is not one of them. Blame your own Humphry Davy for that one.

[@Lagib28]

So, is that ham dinner called Hock-A-Leakie then?

[@exploitentertain9004]

What do you do with full cream milk?!?! Everything!!!! Any milk that isn't full cream is like drinking coloured water. Even my cats stick their noses up at it.

[@Silex-Flint]

I take umbrage with your statement that whole milk is a step a way from cream, although Jersey cow milk likely has a higher fat content than that produced by friesens

[@drunkenhobo8020]

Jersey cow milk has so much fat in it you get lumps of the stuff when drinking it.

[@hallwnby]

The amount of dairy consumed this week is scary

Anyone else think he could do a week following Basil around and be happy?

[@Misssinger1992]

You spent £10 on dinner including the desserts, but for £10 you could have bought a dine in for 2, had vegetables to go with your meal, and had a bottle of wine to put in the cupboard!

[@SimplyDad]

Its been a while since I actually watched a week on during the week it’s uploaded.

[@sky-ii7ew]

Aluminium should be pronounced as Americans pronounce it because the guy who discovered it named it the way americans pronounce it

[@bi-bibabyblue9649]

... is it pronounced Gif or Jif? Is it pronounced Jewellery or Jewellry? Is it pronounced milk or Malk? In the end, nobody cares.

[@zoolio]

What to put on a full butter croissant...... I know more butter

[@prudies.1433]

Please sir, more Basil!!!!😻😻😻

[@Chichinight]

Don’t know about your location but if possible a week on deliveroo would be great and I think because of KZbin and how it is it would do very well

[@jaiboregio]

Might I suggest binge watching Downton Abbey to improve that RP accent?

[@theweddingsinger1970]

Bleurgh, you put a blob of butter on the croissant and that pasta dish looked like grubs rolled in gravel.

[@bethanymiller8406]

A week on 5:2

[@callumelcombe3703]

The working out of cost for the day is a little confusing, the croissants for example were £2.00 but that's for the whole pack not your serving surely?
