As a Greek living abroad I struggle with the price of Feta. The exact same brand of Feta, cost around 12-13 euros per kilo in Greece, which means its almost double the price in UK. Having said that I have learned to compromise and I usually get the lidl brand which I find quite ok for most things. I would say a good brand of Feta like Epiros or Dodoni, those are my favourites, is more than worth it if you can afford it otherwise a supermarket brand PDO (not the "white salad cheese" ones) is perfectly good to use as well.

Would love to see a video where you take something out of a classic way of cooking and see if the normals can tell the difference eg remove celery from a soffritto, or remove a bay leaf from a sauce (and see if Ben can tell the difference...). Just thinking a theme around shelf shortages or the age old question: should anyone ever buy celery or bay leaves..

I've never been sensitive to nuances in anything, my taste buds have been burned out a couple of times by chemo, my family lives on a tight budget, and I've always thought no matter how much money you have you get used to the type of things you can afford and there'll always be something better. But for a special meal, well that kind of thing is what makes life worth living.

Great vid, thanks. Always fun to see the cheap vs premium. We go for all natural peanut butter in our house - 100% peanuts, and buy it by the kg because it doesn't have all the crap in it. And from our experience the ones that use ho-oleic peanuts taste better. Never tried premium tuna since we usually just pop it on jacket spuds with plenty of mayo ;).

I’ve found, at least here in the US where imported feta is hard to come by, is that how it’s stored makes a huge difference. I buy my feta packed in brine instead of vacuum packed or pre-crumbled and I find that it has a richer flavor and nicer texture that way. And I will never go back to pre-crumbled feta. That stuff is pretty flavorless and has a bizarre texture. Americans: if that’s the only feta you’ve ever eaten, I implore you to get the brine packed stuff. It’s almost a completely different cheese.

Woah, I don't even think we have pre crumbled feta here. Sounds dry. Also here (UK, but I assume also Europe-wide because its an EU thing) if it's not made the traditional way and also in Greece it can't even be called feta because it's a protected name. It gets called things like "Greek style salad cheese" in the supermarket, it's quite funny.

7:30 The prices are always surprising to me, food is way cheaper than were I live. I just looked for a random store brand feta, and the cheapest was about 16.9 pound/kg, while the premium are about 24 pound/kg. The minimum wage and average salary are slightly higher in the UK too.

The two types of peanut butters are considered different types here, in the Netherlands. You didn't just compare quality but also type of peanut butter. And at least here, price of 100% peanuts and classic peanut butter is comparable, when comparing the same brand.
@Smallpotato19652 жыл бұрын
Yeah, but that's because for the 100 percent peanutbutter, they chose to go with some pretentious 'biological' one, where here in the Netherlands, every self respecting peanut butter brand (from Calvé to G'woon supermarket brand) has both a 'normal', sugary peanutbutter and a 100 percent peanuts peanutbutter. I guess you could go to some delicatessen shop and find a biological, shat out by civet cats and delicately roasted by tropical virgins in grass skirts over solar panel powered peanut roasters and ground in windpowered peanut mills, but what would be the point of that comparison? Hmm? Ben?

Some ideas for badges/videos! -a leftovers battle, where they have to use a leftover dish to make something new. How much of the leftover components as well as how few additional ingredients they use should be taken into considering along with taste. -a “rescue” battle where they are given a dish that has been over seasoned or over cooked in some way and have to rescue it either through knowledge of competing flavors or by turning it into a new dish. I.e saving an over salted stew with potatoes or saving a dish that’s too sour or spicy or burnt, or like has dry rough meat. -I’d also love a video that focuses on Ben’s allotment! I want to garden more and I’d love to see what he’s planting/harvesting and how he’s cooking with it

for the feta i believe you can tell to some degree based on how it crumbles, the premium one crumbled with lots of jagged edges while the lesser one had softer more rounded edges - feta isn't supposed to be soft exactly like when you heat it it doesn't really melt it softens a bit and can become spreadable but it doesn't melt like many cheeses do so it makes sense the premium would hold form better than the less expensive variation. I only know a lot about feta because i primarily cook Mediterranean and middle eastern cuisine at home and I've tried basically every brand available of feta at this point.
