  • In today's video, we were reunited with our friend @mrnigelng AKA Uncle Roger who had himself recently made the move to LA. We thought it'd be fun to go grocery shopping at Erewhon - the most expensive grocery store in the world, to see if their sky-high prices were really worth it!
    Thanks to Nigel (and Uncle Roger!) for filming with us and having a JOLLY good time!

      It's deserved. But none of the rich people care, or probably even disagree with their take. They pay more so they don't have to be around the peasants and it's also a status symbol. Probably also not super packed all the time either.

      I'm from the southern US. Some of the popular foods here in the US, such as BBQ ribs, started off as food that was enjoyed mostly by lower income households. Lower income households found different ways to make affordable food taste good. Then, when wealthier people tried them, they created higher demand and now the foods that were seen as lower income foods are now way too expensive.

      Nobody with the brain tips a grocery store that’s the dumbest thing in the world. They’re already marking their food up by 40%. They don’t need a tip. The only people you should tip our restaurant employees waiters and waitresses but they better be literally pulling your chair out for you cleaning your shoes. If they notice there’s a scuff on it that’s the type of service that’s worthy of a tip but most of these moron, kids will walk out there with their cell phone not even listening to your order and having to come back to your table several times because they made mistakes with something as simple as a hamburger french fries and a Coke, this is why nobody deserves tips and by the way, Rob milk is incredible for you. Absolutely incredible raw milk is living milk pasteurized milk is milk that has had all of its benefits killed and destroyed out of it and that’s exactly why people get lactose intolerance, because drinking pasteurized milk You’re left with a lot of lactose that your body can’t process, but raw milk has enzymes in it naturally occurring that break down the lactose in your stomach and make it completely harmless. People with lactose intolerance can actually drink raw milk and have no issues. That’s the funny thing is that milk is incredible for you just not pasteurized milk only RAW Milk .

      Often they had to eat food that was frankly going off and the flavouring of the spices etc was to cover up the taste of the rancid meat. Hence the more flavouring the poorer the people. Rich people could eat the unadulterated fresh food and enjoy the real subtle flavour of the meat. Accustomed to eating fresh fish straight out of the North Sea I thought fish from the fishmongers was bad, going off as it had a strong fish flavour. I wasn’t popular with the chef!!

      Seriously you guys are so stupid raw milk has incredible health benefits for you and if it wasn’t for big milk industry, trying to keep the health benefits hidden from you by telling you raw milk is dangerous people would understand what it’s capable of raw milk can literally heal all kinds of nutritional issues you can live off of nothing more than milk for several months without any issues. Obviously, you have to intake enough calorie wise but absolutely no problem. People are just too stupid to realize that food is medicine, but pasteurized food or processed. Food has been heated to the point. All of the Goodness is destroyed.

    the "miracle" behind the noodle is that its a noodle made from a plant that has little to no carbs. So it allows people with celiac or who are following keto to eat similar style noodle dishes without worrying. It became very popular a few years ago as an alternative. The actual name is Shirataki noodles, Miracle Noodle is just a brand name that became the defacto name used when referencing the product since it was the one which gained such wide spread popularity

It wasn’t the actual meat, which just curled up when cooked, but when Ollie showed him a photo (on his phone) of what it looked like before it was cooked. Then photos of what it looked like as it was boiled.
      I found one American farm that sells them online (White Oak Pastures in Georgia) for $32.99 plus shipping. Their sales copy is pretty good.
      “Since we process our livestock on our farm, we have the opportunity to offer the organs, meats, and bones to our customers. Bull penis is certainly among the most unique offerings we have in stock. We will never accumulate a great quantity in these, so get them while you can.
      Size: Well, does it really matter? Regardless of which side of the fence you are on there, these willies will ship one per pack. As expected, length varies.

And soon I saw more videos, and I was hooked with you guys. First I did not even realize you had two channels. But now I'm following both Jolly and Korean Englishman, and also Gabbie's channel. You guys always bring a smile to my face, and I am craving real Korean food now thanks to you.
    I tried watching ALL of your videos from the past, starting with the oldest. With Jolly I would say I watched two thirds of your videos now. Korean Englishman I still have a lot more to watch.

    As others have pointed out, raw milk is not pasteurized or homogenized. There were dairies in my area that used to sell it, but they quit about 20 years ago. Since it is not pasteurized, it must be produced under the strictest of sanitation as there is nothing to kill any bacteria that may creep in (that's why it costs so much). Since it is not homogenized, the cream separates and rises to the top so you have to shake it really well before pouring it or, as Uncle Roger found out, that first swig tastes REALLY good as he was just getting a big dose of cream!

    • @Daelucav
      @Daelucav 4 місяці тому +83

      @@vin2164 When I was a kid, I couldn’t drink pasteurised or homogenised milk, for some reason, so we had to buy raw milk. No idea what it is that’s different exactly, but while I was fine drinking raw milk, my body reacted to pasteurised or homogenised milk as if I were lactose intolerant. Not pleasant.
      Since you couldn’t get raw milk in shops back then (at least not where we lived), we had to buy milk straight from a farm. Because the milk wasn’t homogenised, the cream would rise to the top, and even when shaken well, there would be little blobs of milk fat floating around in it.
      I absolutely loathed it, and to this day cannot stand cream or milk fat in general. Never been happier than when I discovered as a teenager that I could drink normal milk again.

And a bunch of them were like getting it in really sketchy ways for cheap which is 100% gonna make them sick because according to them pasteurising it takes out all the good stuff. I’m pretty sure they were giving it to their babies too as an alternative to breast milk which is not right at all.

      @@nickywags0712 I'm not British nor American. I've found British snacks (biscuits and tea (drink) take the cake (pun intended) but America has better cuisine. I tried Taco Bell for the first time yesterday based on a UA-cam video and it was nicer than I was guessing it would be (only similar food I've had is homemade mince with nachos) and I have had American foods that weren't sickly sweet.

    Interesting look into what goes on at that store and so nice to see Nigel and Uncle Roger again! If you decide to do a trip to Korea with him, I would LIVE for that series!

    Those 2 Asian noodle dishes were both made with Konjac noodles which are meant to be a healthier alternative to regular noodles. That's probably why they didn't taste good because it's diet food. Same with the "pizza".

      I’ve had Chinese konjac snacks, didn’t know what they were, but found them fine. But they were sticky as heck.

      @@johnnyhaze4605 the point is they are for people who are on a diet or want to be seen to be eating healthy. That's why the pizza wasn't good because there was no pizza dough and the noodles had no sauce or flavor because that's a lot of extra calories. To me diet food and health food in general just doesn't taste good because they are making too many compromises.
