    I think Barry’s notion of the coffee berry tea not being pretentious is that it’s using something that would otherwise be discarded? Things that are pretentious, on the other hand, are taking an extra step or go out of the way to incur different costs to seem unique be they delicious or not. Always a fun format, boys. Great viddy!

Coffee cherries are great from a sustainability and interest point of view. The gin pickle sounds delicious, I’d have to try it to know for sure. And real, artisanal, long aged balsamic vinegar from Modena is one of the most beautiful ingredients in the world. So even if they’re pretentious, it’s worth at least trying. Very interesting episode.

    So that balsamic is from a beautiful place in Modena which me and hubby came across a couple of years back whilst visiting Italy. We bought three bottles of balsamic, some younger than others but the poshest one we bought was around £40. It lasted 2 years and every single meal we had with it was memorable. Also Prince Wills and Kate has it as wedding favours for their wedding. The people at the balsamic place told us this and it is also sold in Harrods. They were lovely to us having just rocked up by chance and really want to go back there again!

    Why would their recipe include buttermilk to make butter. I thought buttermilk was already the whey leftover from churning butter. It's a pointless endeavor to add it back in, when the whole point is to separate it out in the first place.

    • @emeryboehnke4259
      @emeryboehnke4259 5 років тому +10

      I think the worse part is including milk!! With a little buttermilk, you can culture some heavy cream over the course of a half a day, but the milk is just making it harder to do.

    • @SecretNatureChannel
      @SecretNatureChannel 5 років тому +1

      Exactly, buttermilk is what's left over after you make butter. Adding it in at beginning is insanity.

    • @M3th0s
      @M3th0s 5 років тому +6

      Adding buttermilk would be a way to ‘cheat’ and get the tang that comes with cultured butter. A modest amount would be ok, but I think adding milk is what really broke the recipe. You are trying to separate the butterfat, why add a liquid that doesn’t add flavor or more fat???

  • @beemer9108

    11:46 He's right. It's good that the vinegar is out there. I think without some of these pretentious things we wouldn't know what good and bad really are, you know? Does that actually make the item itself pretentious, whether or not it's the "standard for good," whatever it may be, maybe? I would like to think not because of the fact that it sets the standard; it's received validation that it's "good." Maybe it comes down to the price? The fact that it can set the price of "good" whatever, means it's pretentious in and of itself? Very interesting dilemma.

    Tbf really good olive oil can fetch up to a similar price. You don’t use it for cooking but dipping with bread. It doesn’t remotely surprise me that a really really good balsamic has a similar price. Especially if its as thick and syrupy as it appears on screen. It isn’t something you put in a salad but would enjoy beautiful bread with (or mozzarella and tomatoes).
