  • In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenges ice cream expert Jeni Britton Bauer to guess which one of two ice creams is more expensive. Jeni breaks down vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, strawberry ice cream, coffee ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and birthday cake ice cream. For each flavor, Jeni looks at, smells, and taste tests before guessing which ice cream costs more. Once the prices are revealed, she explains why.

      That's not air, though. It's a noble gas (which doesn't interact with flavor, while air does) they use to inflate the bag and keep the chips intact. They used to sell potato chips in tin cans; you don't want to try those after a week.

      @ThePointblank 5 років тому +109

      @@rohitghali I've worked in food manufacturing. The reason why there's so much air in a bag of chips is to reduce the likelihood of all of the chips being crushed under their own weight during transportation. The extra gas is there to act as a cushion to prevent your potato chips from turning into potato crumbs.

    • @stfulosersrigbone
      @stfulosersrigbone 5 років тому +44

      It's Nitrogen not air, (although nitrogen makes up 78% of air). It's added so chips don't oxidize in the bag and become stale.

    I really quite enjoyed this one, this lady is professional without being pretentious, and notes that individual tastes may differe from what you'd expect comparatively to the common concept that more expensive = automatically better. Ice cream is something that I've always loved, just because the blank canvas of cream and sugar(flavor wise) can be transformed into basically anything that someone might want to, even if as we've learned from Iron Chef, maybe some flavor combinations aren't such a fantastic idea even if they are creative.

    I think sometimes food experts can be sort of snobbish when it comes to their area of expertise. I really like that she kept on repeating that it's all about personal preference, that the more expensive ice cream isn't always the best (and sometimes not even the best quality), and that it's about what you're looking for in an ice cream. As someone who just discovered how amazing Walmart brand ice cream can be (at $2 a carton) I can completely relate!

      Fun fact: Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, creators of Ben & Jerry's, didn't initially plan on going into the ice cream business. They knew they wanted to open a food business together, but only settled on ice cream after they learned that bagel-making equipment was too expensive for them to afford. Other fun fact: the reason Ben & Jerry's relies on mixed in ingredients so much is because Ben Cohen has severe anosmia (he can't smell, which is a big part of taste), and as such had a strong preference for textural contrast in his food.

    • @bananabyter
      @bananabyter 6 років тому

      Well, higher quality ice cream usually means more expensive ingredients. To create a solid business you should be making more than you're spending (I think that's kind of obvious, but whatever), so, to cover the more expensive ingredients, you would naturally charge more for your product. Plus, people will usually pay more for more well-made, more natural products rather than cheaply made, chemical-chalked products.

    It's amazing how knowledgeable people can be on different topics. To me, ice cream is ice cream, and I probably wouldn't notice too much of a difference between the same flavors of different brands. I find it fascinating how many subtle differences she can spot. I'm this way with orchestral music... I've spent over half my life in various orchestras, and every time I listen to a piece, I hear something different. I try to pick out each section... especially strings, and listen to how all the parts weave together. My sister, however, claims that every piece sounds the same! Lol.

    When I was a kid, my family went to this big camp church gathering every year. People from all over the state got together at a large campground that happened to be right next to a commercial mint farm. In the middle of summer, hot as it gets in Oregon, there would be harvested piles of mint like giant haystacks all over an adjacent field and they steamed in the sun. The smell of fresh mint still reminds me of the retching illness this caused. More than one person fell to their knees heaving when walking too close to that mint field. It was my first real example of the power of overwhelming smell.

    Me: .....look, birthday cake ice cream! My favorite!

      But the spiders are just there to make sure your mint is in the best shape in can be, instead of being all eaten up by bugs.

      I assume she goes to the lesser sweet ones, because the sweeter ones would make the less sweet ones taste like nothing.

      I think because cheaper ice cream all have more stabilisers and that can cost your mouth and affect the taste of the next ice cream. Plus, it's more likely will be masked with sugar and will he too sweet.

    mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream flavor, but i started making my own mint simple syrup from the mint in my garden and now no store bought mint ice cream can compare! they're all flavored like mint candy and such, which is good, but i love love love the fresh, herbal, green flavor of my homemade mint syrup!

    These videos are fantastic. The gumminess of stabilizers ALWAYS bothers me, (Basking Robbins, Cold Stone, etc) and the idea of coffee ice cream TASTING like good coffee SMELLS is so helpful! Fresh ingredients and labor really does up the cost, hot damn! Did anyone else learn why they would do when making ice cream at home?

      Mrs fancy pants most often the “experts” are industry professionals, chefs, bakers, small business owners, etc, that are in the industry of the particular product they are testing. She’s an ice cream maker/owner of her own ice cream shop and brand, it’s not like you get scooped up by an industry and are dubbed an “expert”

    This was great advertisement of Jeni’s Ice Cream. I love anyone who can speak so eloquently of my favorite food, so I picked up a pint of her outrageously expensive (now I know why) dark chocolate ice cream. To say that it was a religious experience is... putting it lightly. I think this is what Maslow meant by reaching enlightenment. I’m ‘on a diet’ but devoured half a pint, SO worth the $$ and the calories.

      @@AlexK-wp9ie it's more expensive if you order through mail. But you have all the flavor options and its probably more expensive because they do keep it frozen which I am sure cost money. But no it does not melt. It is awesome

    Her Pineapple Upsidedown Cake is now my #1 favorite. I love all her flavors, but it's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Her Savannah Mint is also so fabulous. You can taste butter in her Maple Pancakes, too. So many great options and she's so creative.
