      ​@@LadyTarasque Unless you have a need for whole cloves, you can just put a slight amount of force from your palm or a knife on it and the skin literally falls off.

    OH MY GOD can we all agree that the captioners have outdone themselves this time!? Tiny subscript "much room", the clever IPA'ed "source" - I could just sit here and enjoy the subtitles if it wasn't a fun video.

    I love seeing Tom act natural without all the formality of his usual videos because he is actually very funny!

    This could well have been a major cooking series on one of those old television networks. I'd like to see these guys do this with a number of my other favorite UA-camrs. Yes, Tom, you are _not_ this only one.

    I don’t know what to think about Tom being so fast at grating that garlic. I just don’t know

    Mike totally deserves the win! He was very calm and prepared in giving instructions. Great video to watch watching the normals “chef” the more normal

    It amazes me that Tom can still come up with new video ideas and for them to always continue to be so good and entertaining

      He does have a team helping him with this channel, so it’s not the ideas of just one person.

    That was honestly, one of the most amazing, entertaining, and delightful videos I have ever seen.
    Loads of suspense, challenges, banter, puns, and fun.
    Thank you. Thank all of you.
