Mitchell & Webb - Food Snobbery

From That Mitchell and Webb Sound

[@helenosa5621]

Actually tomato is one of the few foods where I actually really can notice a distinctive difference between homegrown and the ones in the supermarket. Still, this is gold.

[@drtoonie]

Comes down to what cultivars they use. A lot of tomato varieties are to delicate for bulk transport and therefore only get stocked in farmers markets or as seeds for purchase.

[@whade62000]

So you're saying, M&W are wrong, but also they are brilliant Just say that the sketch is flawed, don't apologize for it No need to feel bad for being correct

[@cambiata]

@@drtoonie IIRC, the guy who selected the supermarket cultivar knew perfectly well that it was tasteless and didn't care, the rotter. That said, I usually buy grape tomatoes from the supermarket instead, and those are bursting with flavor.

Anyone ever tasted _actual_ oxygen, not just the stuff that's full of roadway run-off? This is easy.

[@arturdent5168]

and snozzberries taste like snozzberries

[@vibraphonics]

IT IS. IT IS, IT'S JUST MILK

[@SeanKL107]

I prefer bitter, posh chocolate

[@kajamiletic3223]

I feel so conflicted about this sketch. I agreed with David's character completely on the tomatoes, 'cause there IS a big difference if you had grandparents growing them at home and are used to them being juicy and tasty and not bland. Then I was 100% behind Robb for the chocolate thing. *Then* I was in the middle for Starbucks, but leaning more towards David... and I must say, various types of water do really taste differently!

[@ainselyharriot517]

You'll taste a difference between soft water and hard water but it does not make any sense to spend a fiver on, allegedly, glacier water when something with a barely a difference in taste, or none depending on the person or the alternative option being purchase.

[@Richard_is_cool]

No, it's the other way round! How can your opinions exist in such a wrong way!!! For chocolate is *definitely* that bitter thing.

[@sci_pain3409]

isn't it nice to have a comment section that is actually original?

[@b8nnytez]

If you're just joining us, normal food is FINE!

[@RobChurch1988]

haha love it

[@AllenKnutson]

Mitchell has complained elsewhere about coffee snobbery. And he's right! Also why the "Mitchell and Webb Look" logo, when this has no M&W look? I suspect this is M&W Sound.

[@b8nnytez]

The homemade ones, fertilised with the growers own fertiliser, are by far the best. They have that certain something, that supermarket ones don't.

[@lodevijk]

Starbucks sells cocktails with coffee flavour.

[@limerence8365]

Tomatoes straight from the plant is absolutely heavenly

[@willbentley8856]

In all seriousness, Starbucks is terrible and overpriced and the coffee is usually burned.
