    Loved it!! Recipes and ingredients looked great!!

    How about peanut butters? So many choices – what if it wasn’t a single but a pick the premium(s) with a comparison of 10 different brands?

    for the cooking wine one I'd much rather see the difference between the one labelled cooking wine and a wine one would drink – not the difference between two wines one would drink; something like Marsala.

    Around our house, we have a grinder that I'll often use with my eggs in the morning, which has whiskey barrel smoked cracked black pepper in it. Also, at our local spice shop (Savory Spice – yes, they have a website), we'll frequently get their Alderwood smoked sea salt, and we keep some of their vanilla bean peppermint sugar. Along with several other spice blends that we get from them, they are a rather dangerous shop for us, and the quality is at a level that we really don't mind paying the extra for their spices.

    In the united states, we have Costco locations that sell extremely condensed “fonde” or beef broth paste. Shelf stable until opened for years, often. I make quick, amazing beef gravy with it for my husband. There’s a similar paste for chicken and seafood. My guess is that restaurant owners buy it often since it’s always in stock, but usually low every time I go on Mondays.

    I also have 2 types of black pepper in my kitchen. One is a premium variety available in my country. Makes my special dishes so much more fragrant and tasty

    Is it just me or is Ben losing weight? Perhaps it’s distasteful of me to point it out, but if I was losing weight I’d want someone to notice 🤷🏻‍♀️ either way lookin good boys!❣️🥰

    When judging products, maybe take into account how environmentally friendly things are/how moral they are. For example in this vid: the fact the premium Chicken stock was free range is a big deal and would effect my likeness to buy it. Also just taking into account that some supermarket stuff is good… but it is mass produced, very unsustainably and causes many vulnerable people to be underpaid. Just suggestions for judging – love the vid 🙂

    I love to use white wine to marinate shrimp before sauteing in butter/garlic/Old Bay/black pepper finished off with a sprinkling of brown sugar. You should try it! Have you used it in any other seafood dishes?

    I hope you cooked something with that seaweed, it's really delicious and tender when cooked.

    I made a tomato based fish soup with it once when I was by the sea, and I still find myself thinking of it when I feel like a dish is missing something.

    Well done on the Kampot pepper! Used to work next to kampot and those peppercorns (black, green and red) are great almost fruity flavor. My choice for cooking though is Sarawak black or white pepper, sublime if you can find it, I’m Malaysian and we would fly over to Sarawak and buy a kilo of it which lasts 2 years at least…

    What about a blind taste test of farm shop free range eggs vs non-free range eggs; organic meat vs non-organic meat; and organic veg vs non-organic veg etc? Would be very interested to know!

    I would consider the pepper as it actually brought a whole different flavour profile to the dish. The others, maybe not the premium but definitely one or two steps above the budget version. Life’s too short to drink cheap wine.

    Let me add to the pasta situation, try making a real Italian pasta like Cacio e Pepe with the supermarket glossy extra refined durum wheat pasta and you will know the difference. By the way, love your videos, I'm not a hater guys.

    Video Idea: American Food Informercials. Find a Ronco Grill or a Ronco Pasta Machine or a set of Miracle Blades…and test them out. I'm sure they are still out there. I kinda want to see what Ben's opinion would be of them
