I Tried Food From Britain's MOST EXPENSIVE Shops

[@EdChapman23]

I always wondered whether fancy food was really worth the price tag - so I decided to buy some and try it. Never thought I’d drop £70 on a box of chocolates… could do with your support on this video haha

[@JAMESZBAH]

Is it just me or you get more sexy every video lol love you mate keep smashing it ed😊

[@EdChapman23]

It's not just you don't worry

[@juniourst3ven596]

👍Good to see you back again Ed Chapman

[@SomePeopleCallMeWulfman]

More expensive does not mean better taste. It usually only means more exclusive ingredients: chocolate beans that were harvested by blind orphans etc.

Bees have spent millions of years honing their honey making craft, only for Ed to state, “I feel like I could do better with my own saliva”… 😂😂😂

[@EdChapman23]

I've got a point

[@jessieb7290]

Honey is bee vomit. If they didn’t vomit it up, we’d had a hard time being able to digest it; apparently.

[@Jakey4000]

As a New Zealander, that was very cute hearing you try to pronounce Manuka. Manuka honey has medicinal properties. You can pronounce it easier by trying "ma-new-ka"

[@zombiecai3105]

Manuka honey is special given it’s the manuka tree the bees pollinate from. Forget culinary use although it is nice it’s also a very very good healer. Used for burns, scars and minor wounds. So don’t waste it all. Also FYI you can get the EXACT same Manuka honey from Aldi or Lidl, when I say it’s the same it’s literally the same lol.

[@mister_M.]

💯

[@Leanne_w]

It’s not the same at all

[@melissablackledge427]

I almost died when Ed paid £45 for a chocolate bear and £70 on a box of chocolates that's insane.

[@West.Ham1964]

It's a shame you didn't try Fortnum & Mason. I popped in there a few days ago and was genuinely shocked at the prices, all you pay for is the fancy packaging and the brand name. I walked back out and got me tea bags in Tescos.

[@clarea1801]

The only thing I could afford there was a lamington, and it wasn't even that nice

[@Mandaramaster]

Not all you pay for, it's hit or miss but some of their stuff is fucking nice. Still not worth it though.

[@stellahulott210]

OMFG - the JFK reference on the bear made me LOL! Thanks for another great vid Ed ❤

[@jessieb7290]

“You are a moron” £45 on a chocolate bear….💀 This was so funny and true. Cheap chocolate seems expensive now. But this was great to watch. I love the idea of chocolate covered pistachio’s, but I’d rather just cover them in chocolate myself for that price.

[@kim_b_fiddle]

I’ve watched a bunch of your videos now and can I just say this: it’s so refreshing unpretentious your videos are? A normal bloke with a no frills video ending. Love all of it

[@justinehayward2553]

Greeting from outside the UK. Manuka honey has medicinal properties and has variations on that property. There is a reason why it is more costly. Can't speak for sausage rolls.

There was a time when I hadn’t discovered Ed’s channel.. glad those days are over!

[@sketch2920]

70 quid for a box of chocolates! Michael Caine couldn't even pull off a robbery that big.

[@W4LKThrough1]

Manuka honey is that price everywhere. Not just marks and Spencer’s. It’s so expensive because it’s only made in New Zealand and Australia. It also has healing properties

[@MikeSlater226]

‘Decapitated him’ had me rolling 🤣🤣 good video as always mate so underrated 👊

[@weealpha64]

Many years ago worked in the Swiss Centre which supplied a few things to Harrods including Truffles. Believe it or not, they were all Handmade by a Swiss chocolatier and apprentice. They had the highest quality ingredients and tasted amazing. So sometimes you do need to pay for quality

[@lee5010]

He did pay and for that price the quality was not there compared to cheaper options although we are not the target customers.

[@Nise-74]

To be fair manuka honey is expensive anywhere. It has very good healing properties

[@brianrutherford7385]

Hi Ed, I've got a challenge for you. Buy a metal detector and head to your nearest beach and see how much money or jewellery you can find over whatever time period you set yourself. Then you have to survive for the next day on the proceeds of whatever you find.

[@miss_michelle]

Hello from New Zealand thank you so much for your videos I really enjoy them 😊 oh that honey I'm not to keen on but it does have very good health benefits

[@funny7]

you should title the video, northener lives like a southener

[@yarrrghhdontouchitdontouchit]

Tesco had some 90 quid honey when I was there a few months ago. To be fair, honey consumption has gone up and up and honey production has gone down and down, so the cheap syrup stuff you buy off the shelves is mostly sugar syrup. Notice how it doesn't go hard in the bottle/jar anymore? Because most of what's in it is not honey basically.

[@garethwesleyevans]

Bless you. I realise I'm old when a young person thinks £13 for sushi is expensive 😂

[@tommysherman7155]

It is expensive no electric because it's raw just gut the fish put rice in and roll it . Nothing expensive apart from the rod to catch the fish with

[@EdChapman23]

£4 at tescos

[@Drewski28622]

It also doesn’t fill you up, I can get a full burger chips and drink for less

[@Bozebo]

Yeah £13 for maybe 2-3 rolls would be a normal price if they're nice.

[@tommysherman7155]

£13 for 3 rolls it's raw fish means no money spent on cooking, no money spent on lights, like I said bait to catch the fish a rod a knife to gut and chop it with, rice roll and a fridge and packaging to put the tiny rolls in is You're only expense. £13 is a rip off

[@kaizomb]

Hullo from New Zealand, gotta say I agree with you on the Manuka honey (pronounced Ma Noo Car), pretty icky stuff - and a bit of a rort if I remember rightly. You’re a smart man to do videos on expensive foods, I often see videos of the cheapest or worst foods going viral and I feel sorry for the creators because they’re kind of stuck in a rut of bad food then, to get the views 😂 Keep it up lad 👍👍👍

[@StevenSmethurst]

Tbf that Manuka honey is normal price for manuka. Manuka honey it's expensive everywhere. Its more so because it has anti bacterial properties so it's good if you're ill or got a bad throat. Cheaper honey may sooth your throat but it doesn't help it in the same way.

[@adele08t64]

First time my husband has watched one of your vids with me, he has just subscribed.. He works in London and was not having the meltdown I was at a £70 box of chocolate’s.. apparently it’s normal 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 He’s not allowed to do the shopping 😂 Great vid Ed 👏🏻

[@srspower]

The thing with premuim goods is that the people who buy them don't see them as expensive because to them they aren't.

[@Springamatul]

Manaku Honey is expensive . It costs more than £14 in some stores. The cheapest we found is about £6 on Lidl.

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

Mad to think that half the country is struggling to put the heating on and the other half the country is spending £45 on a fucking chocolate bear

[@Athenadelarosaa]

Am I sad for getting excited when the notification bell tells me you’ve uploaded a new video? 😂😮

[@johndean1634]

Worth every penny is Harrods Food Hall what an amazing place. Shop normally at Marks and Sparks or Waitrose. Only because Harrods is only in London. Which might be a blessing in reality.

[@bonariablackie4047]

Fortnum & Mason. Even the BAG is about a hundred quid.

[@sparerib]

"the chocolate bear's very inclusive, it's missing a foot!" 😂

[@blazeboy798]

I remember when i stayed in a hotel. Lovely place. But they had a swanky menu. All posh nosh. And a starter and main set me back about 70 ish quid. And the food was. Well. Food just small portions of a normal dinner. Just arranged nicely on the plate. But price really doesn’t always mean quality.

[@rikmoran3963]

I think a good general rule is that if you can't pronounce the name of the product, you are not the target demographic! 😂

[@josephhughes1498]

You’ve never been to Selfridges before??? It’s Harrods but more for us poor people to feel like we’re rich or treating ourselves. Harvey Nichols even more so, their food haul is good though for very niche stuff or gifts though just like Selfridges

[@odiana7402]

14£ for a jar of honey is nothing compared to what i've seen. At H&B they've got a 250g jar of manuka honey for more than 100£, which isn't because of its taste, but because it has much more health benefits than regular honey. I'd say that only rich people who are really concerned about their health would buy that.

Oh that £69 box of choclates is actually a Swiss brand. They are extremely expensive. Here in Switzerland you pay about £120 for 250g.

[@f0rtuzer0]

Diminishing returns, like everything. And we already have such high standards of food for very low prices that spending massively more on most products is simply not worth it. There is only so good a biscuit or some honey can be, for example. I mean, one is flour and sugar and fat, the other is just sugar.

[@tasokova2802]

​@@EdChapman23 Fortnum & Masons is the most exclusive and oldest purveyor of fine foods in the UK, if not even the world. (founded some 300 years ago). I never was in London or anywhere else in the UK, but have heard and known about them even before the internet. I live for the last 50 some years in the USA, but was born and grew up in insanely expensive Zurich Switzerland. That 70 Pound box of chocolats are from Switzerland, made by Laederach, one of the best chocolatiers in the world, and they are very good indeed, produced with the best ingredients, using only butter and cream and organic choicest coco beans. However, as to the price, you are absolutely right, it is way to much, no matter how good they are. I would call it obscene and decadent. But for many rich people the price doesn't matter, as they possess practically unlimited funds. Some rake up million pound hotel bills in those luxury hotels London is known for. They pay thousands for just one bottle of fine vintage wine with dinner in a high class Michelin star restaurant. And this goes on while most working people struggle to pay essential bills and make ends meet.
