[@Metalhammer1993]

@@brewtalityk well the basic idea of Aioli is the same however in real aioli you don´t add egg. it´s oil and garlic nowadays a pinch of salt while mayonnaise is oil, vinegar, lemon juice and oil. and because you need to mix them an egg yolk for the emulsion. in Aioli garlic created the emulsion. there´s nothing wrong with lemon juice or vinegar in aioli though. it probably is a but bland without and truth be told i´d just make a normal mayonnaise and add garlic to it, because pulling up an aioli actually is more difficult than pulling up a mayonnaise, but if we are strict, in Aioli garlic takes the place of the egg.

Surprisingly, one of the best experts on the channel, very well spoken and gives easy to understand yet complex explanations.

[@TheLKStar]

Kinda, he does speak well overall, but the "hard" words he uses are just filler, it's actually annoying if you pay attention to it. For example, saying 0.60 cents is "essentially" double of 0.30 cents, is filler.

[@roguefever]

He doesn't know how to pronounce "Capsaicin" or "homogenous" lmao.

[@tristanhnl]

I disagree, I think he's actually one of the worst "experts". Apart from a short description in talking about the differences in ranch dressing, he only very briefly talked about the various chemicals, stabilisers and preservatives that allow the cheaper options to be cheaper in the first place. The more expensive condiments are more expensive for multiple reasons. They don't sit on the shelf as long (fewer or no preservatives), have little to no fillers and artificial ingredients/flavours, and have fewer stabilisers that might make the condiment more creamy in consistency (which wouldn't be the case in a more natural state). The fact that this expert only minimally mentions those factors in a video over 18 minutes long, is in my opinion somewhat of a failure to do what this video series was meant to do, which is to describe the main reasons for the differences in price points of 2 options within the same category of product.

[@chriswhinery925]

Condiments are definitely trickier than a lot of other food. Their role is 100% support, they are supposed to compliment the food you're eating them with, not take over the show themselves. So which one is best is always going to wildly vary based on what you're eating them on. On a burger or hot dog, regular yellow mustard is best, but on a pastrami sandwich, you want something stronger than that, for example.

[@tychowozniaki9269]

Because most of them are leading huge businesses and to make it big you have to get people to support you which is easier with such a pleasant voice. That would be my guess at least.

Souchirouu Japanese rice is the best rice I’ve ever had. Just the flavor profile of it plain, the texture and mouth feel of the kernels,... fantastic.

[@SariAlShammari]

Basmati is the best, requires more water need a bit of adjusting if came from different kinds of rice but God oh God it's amazing

But let’s check the prices and see if I was right...”

Some of these experts seem to be making boiler plate statements and common sense deductions, but I readily believe this guy really knows his stuff. Very informative, laid out his reasoning well - very enjoyable to watch and listen to. I also believe he'd know exactly which condiment would go best with human liver and fava beans.

@Leov Agreed! I'm from West Bengal, the state in India where many of the various Darjeeling tea varieties are grown. We're also Assam's neighbours, so we reap the benefits of their tea cultivation as well! ^_^ We tend to drink exclusively loose leaf back home in India, but I've been living abroad and it's a lot more cheap and convenient to use bags here. They always lose their fragrance in transit, so I'd love tips (hehe tips get it like tea I'm sorry) on how to choose tea bag teas that keep their fragrance. I cannot count the number of times I have made awful tea puns on this channel asking for a tea episode ahahaha - hopefully this pekoes their interest.
