An interesting point made after the Japanese chilli paste: sometimes/quite often it’s not the ingredient itself that’s pretentious, it’s the use of it by someone who either doesn’t care to know the history/culture behind it or who knows the surface level history/culture and uses it in order to seem knowledgeable or ‘worldly’

[@harfgarflarf]

Also as someone who lives in Japan often everyday ingredients from here are sold for massive markups in the UK.

[@thewerdna]

Yeah, like, someone in Japan using it wouldn't be pretentious. Someone specifically importing it from Japan for personal use could very easily end up being pretentious.

[@AnisPunjwani]

I feel like a lot of the ingredients recently have been more unique with specific applications rather than actually being pretentious. Could use something over the top which has regular replacements available to balance out the ingredients as well in the future

[@birdbird5337]

Seconded. A few "don't waste money on this, the non-premium version is just as good" things would be great

[@metalexile]

Yeah. It has all been interesting, but all the products featured lately have been niche products or traditional regional specialities and almost nothing has been genuinely pretentious in ages. Again, it’s all interesting, but for a series labeled pretentious ingredients, I think it has lost the plot a bit.

[@katiemusgrove228]

It kind of feels like an extension of ‘pick the premium’ rather than being its own thing

[@Bartimusable]

Or they could change the question from "Is this pretentious" to "would i be pretentious if i bought this?" As in, would a normal buy this because they would actually use it in a correct or appropriate way, or would they use it as a "oh, look what i bought" or useless fancy-maker (like putting flaky sea salt in soup), thus making them pretentious.

Odd comment, as 'pronounciation' isn't actually a word... Never antagonise those who can spell 😁

[@joshp8535]

@@TheSoberBear You shouldn't antagonize people who spell incorrectly, either. Because often when they spell things wrong. It's because they have never seem the word written down, and learned it by ear. Furthermore, this person used the root word and then basically added on. That is a damn good effort. Even further, English is probably their second language. Point is, you can gently correct, but don't make fun. That's rude.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

He was right in making a distinction between "pretentious" and "premium," but for me, lost it again when he also made a distinction between "sciency" and "pretentious." Because to me, making food "sciency" reeks of molecular gastronomy, which is pretentious as balls.

[@RowanWolf22]

@@billyeveryteen7328 It makes sense though scientifically, put water in something where water shouldn’t be (chocolate) and you may end up ruining everything. But it is science to know how the crystals in chocolate form and what will ruin or seize it etc, which normal cooks may not know. Science can be pretentious, but at the same time, cooking is science to an extend. (Especially baking and sweet treats.) for me pretentious foods are expensive foods that don’t give any significant benefit to dishes / can be substituted for other items easily. (Premium items often bring out flavour, quality and delicious tastes, science- y understanding items are to help make food better without ruining it)

[@billyeveryteen7328]

@@RowanWolf22 Yeah, I completely agree with you. That association is completely a personal bias on my end, just because I really hated the molecular gastronomy trend. But I do agree that food science, in itself, is not pretentious. I'm actually a big fan of people like Alton Brown and Anne Reardon, two people who are self-described "food scientists" and go into detail about the physical and chemical reactions behind food and cooking. I think it's just the specific wording Jamie used; he described the lemon powder as "sciency" in a way that made me think of the stupid powders and gels you put in molecular gastronomy.

[@mickaylao.9744]

Ben also keeps not mentioning that these fishing companies from the Bay of Biscay are Basque families carrying on Basque traditions and don't call themselves Spanish. The motto/slogan on the Zallo website is "everything that has a name exists," a Basque saying. Basques have small plates called pintxos, not tapas!

​@Mickayla O. From my experience, people tend to ignore independence movements within previously established countries. Which is depressing as hell. Personally I find it even more sad that even someone from the UK, which is much closer to Spain and therefore should know more about it, is making this mistake. Someone from another english speaking part of the world I would understand more how they would make it. Then again, the English don't exactly have the best track record on respecting independence of ethnic groups.

Recently a German lab discovered a process to identify the sex of an egg and since then it's becoming common practice (in some countries) to sell eggs containing male chicks, so that they get eaten and don't hatch at all. That's why cocks, lol, are more expensive to raise, because they don't return the costs of feed and pen the way hens do.

I’m a pastry chef and I use powdered lemon and orange all the time!! I use it most often in chocolates, but it’s also quite useful to use in any place that you’d normally use zest (but don’t want the oil). It’s not cheap, but it’s a wonderful product!

[@doubbleenchantment6029]

An idea for future taste test videos - I've noticed the boys tend to try the dish without the ingredient if they can, like the chicken (with and without the condiment). This adds an interesting insight to what the ingredient really adds to a dish. With that in mind, it might be useful to make a control group dish that lacks the ingredient, or has a budget/standard replacement for it. That way, we could get a closer look at what really makes these products stand out. Anyway, great video as always, and I hope you see this

[@mycacumpston6961]

They already have a series like this called pick the premium. They have two of the same dishes with only one ingredient being either affordable or premium. They have to guess which ingredient is different and guess which one is the premium. No point making the same series twice.

In the US anyone who has done any baking or really any above basic home cook level has very likely run into it. my favorite use is in Frostings or cupcakes for a super fast very tasty lemon flavor with no change to recipes at all. :-) but also great in home made spice mixes for chicken and seafood.

[@MaoMaster69]

i think the powdered lemon is great in that you can store it for longer and be able to add lemon to dishes that need some acid, but not something as funky as vinegar. I don't really buy lemons, and when I do, not using both the zest and the juice feels wasteful, (or i cut it in half, and only use half, leaving the other half to shrivel) so lemon powder could solve that issue for me.

I wouldn't say cruel, just not very nice or informed. Ben definitely has that knowledgeable look which could possibly be mistaken for a "holier than thou" demeanour. *We* know better, obviously, as we all adore Ben. She just needs time. He can be an acquired taste.

@@SortedFood most definitely Miss Dire's explanation! I think it's just the knowing and confident look from knowing and being confident! She's not at all cruel and neither am I

[@NustingButsErrday]

@@SortedFood just look a little smarmy is all 😁

Lemon powder is an awesome thing to use in quick breads. I think I've used it for cranberry bread and a lemon and honey loaf. I think I've used it in Irish soda bread as well

Benjamin is making it really hard for me to continue pretending he’s an innocent 😇 I can’t with him. I just can’t 😝

[@missdire]

You know he's the farthest from innocent. It's always the studious/"quiet" ones that are the raunchiest. 😅

[@daisy8297]

I burst out laughing so loudly at the thought of Ben being possibly raunchy that I scared my poor puppy to death 😮

Ebbers is so right about the stigma we have of what/how/where food is supposed to be. When I was in Mexico for work a few years ago, the two best meals I had in Mexico was a birria lunch spot behind the security outpost at Guadalajara airport, hidden behind where the federales checked security cameras, and what was essentially a pop-up "restaurant" ran out of the front garden of a woman who lived across the corporate plaza where I was working. In both situations, the only reason I found out about either place is because I specifically asked a random employee where they and the other locals eat on their lunch breaks.

Potentially polarising pretentious ingredients. Try saying that 10 times fast. 😂

This was such fun episode. Aboslutely love it!

The Lemon Juice Powder definitely interests me greatly, as someone who cannot smell, which often makes food that contains zest a complete waste. If I'm buying something that I know delivers on flavor as opposed to being entirely reliant on smell to carry that flavor, I will find places to use it.

I use the powdered lemon in dehydrated camping meals! I make all my own meals to bring out into the backcountry on weeklong trips and that powdered lemon makes a world of difference. I buy the True Lemon brand, but there's also lime/orange/grapefruit too. Not pretentious at all - SUPER handy!!

[@georgeburgmeyer7274]

I haven't seen the grapefruit... these packets are great for for the soda water machines.
