I do gotta give Ben the W for Williams Pear. Here in Germany, Schnaps made with Williams pears is something very specific and usually demands a markup compared to generic fruit spritis.

Hey Sorted Team! Love the homegrown herb comments and herb enthusiasm from Ben. My place is tiny too and I, and many others, in places small or large, with maybe just a few feet of communal garden, would LOVE a video and advice re how to nurture homegrown herbs in the UK or other non-sunny places (or one video for different climates). Mine just wilt & die on the window ledge - some are in supermarket pots, some in water jars, some I plant in their own pots, but not sure which ones I should crop or pot, or why. I won’t blame you Ben if you give me advice and any die - as there are so many, and we all live in different climates - but I just know you adore herbs and I want to know how to give them the best chance to live and flourish longer and how to use them at each stage of life.

@@RiverDanube What do you mean unsalted butter doesn't exist? lol

[@RiverDanube]

@@matte5404 Unsalted butter does exist. It's butter that has no salt in it or butter that is not salted. Unsalted is not an ingredient of itself.

[@matte5404]

@@RiverDanube Yes but "unsalted butter" IS an ingredient in of itself. unsalted butter is different than salted butter. It's like claiming garlic butter is the same as regular butter. Or for an example that was part of the video, ground almonds or almonds, ground. Or pureed tomatoes vs tomatoes.

@@matte5404 Okay. I checked what else could be bought as unsalted and the list includes unsalted popcorn, unsalted peanut butter, unsalted cashews, unsalted mixed nuts and the list goes on. But also, since salt is not on the ingredient list then stating whether an ingredient is salted or unsalted is a non issue.
