For clarity! This video was filmed in September, featuring long-time Grapevine food writer Shruthi Basappa. We hope you enjoy it and please remember to be kind. Love, Josie Anne.
Well said Josie Anne! 😃
Glad you are still there, Josie Anne.
I'll stick with the Grapevine. And I'll give them time with Videos. If they bore me I'll skip the videos but I'll continue my home subscription and viewing the Grapevine online.
They need to put you in some of the videos to ease the transition for us. I miss you Josie. ❤️
Thanks, Josie Anne. The location and date and time helps adds context. :)
Humm ... this I find not interesting and decided to skip it. I'm probably not the only one. Maybe a video of the new editor, explaining what "new direction" the Grapevine is going, would have been better.
Missing Valur, Pollý, and Andie already.
' It is what it is!' 😎
Me, too!
This was nice and done well, but it was too long. Bored with seaweed after first few minutes. I was looking in the background to see if Valur & Polly would perhaps be there.
No luck. Miss them dearly. Maybe instead of just picking seaweed off the rocks, one of them could throw a ball?
I'm with you missing Valur & Polly with her wagging tail, patience for fetching a ball! Hope Polly & her human family safe, healthy and hope to see them in the future!!
Thanks for uploading this video from September. I have no issue with Shuruthi but this does not help me move on and I still feel terrible that the RK has "let go" the people we all respected and are so fond of. I have not rushed to cancel my membership or unsuscribe at this point but am still unsure if I will stick with the channel. At the moment I am waiting to see what happens.
Can offer you Icelandic Christmas chocolade at 15% discount, minmum order just 4 kgs. We are certain this will make up for all hurt feelings'
My husband and I enjoyed the reporting by Shruthi on seaweed foraging. I have nothing negative to say but I believe the Grapevine does not understanding why we enjoyed listening to Valur so much. Number 1 he is Icelandic and reports as someone who has grown up in Iceland. We are not looking for someone from another country talking about Iceland. I could talk about Iceland after my visit but it would not be the same. He did not report the news or other events the way that they would have been reported in the United States and THAT was a huge reason to listen. His take on the English language made the reporting interesting and required active listening to understand fully what he was trying to say in some instances. We found it informative to hear the Icelandic take on events and politics in the United States reported in a way that someone from our country would not report it. All in all we miss Valur and are undecided about continuing to subscribe. We will wait and see what happens.
We have since decided to end our subscription and membership. Listening to Valur was a breath of fresh air during the pandemic and we miss him. We have not found the content to be of interest to us since his departure.
Sadly I'm with your feelings here in Missouri USA!! Had hope to visit a second time Iceland and hoped awesome tour with Valur & Polly as well!
This desire evaporated quickly after his last broadcast with Polly's farewell walking away on lava flow a last time after he threw Polly's ball one last time on camera! I hope Polly, Valur are safe, healthy!!
Indeed, miss terribly Valur unique engaging reporting from the crap here in USA AND MISS Polly's wagging tail & patience fetching her ball!!!
Current content not THE same and most likely I will quit looking very soon for what was here before, as not apparently remotely the desires of new "normal" managemt direction, sad indeed!!!
We need Valur back
Yes!!! Indeed bring Valur & Polly back ASAP, they are sadly missed as continue of the new content, format has lost all my Icelandic interest!
I kept waiting for Polly to go bounding past looking for her ball.
Yes, Missing Valour and Polly, ill keep watching for now and see how it goes.
Agree. I'm sure the other staff members are just as likeable, but I miss Valur and Polly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Already miss Valur and Polly, but I hope they still do newscasts and they have Josie reporting. She's really great as well!
Personal bucket list includes seeing aurora. Learned that travel costs to Iceland were reasonable Researching info regarding Iceland I chanced across Reykjavík Grapevine Covid derailed travel plans. The grapevine became a staple for following conditions and restrictions. We missed the aurora but lo and behold came the volcano. We spent a week in Iceland. Valur and polly were our weekly guide. My dog Bronte was riveted to the TV whenever polly was on. They are missed
How kind was the ax to Valur and Andie ... this just reopens the wound.
I agree. Tears again.
This was so painful that I can't even finish watching it
And BTW I do know that this was done in September. Still no excuse for posting it. It was not a good presentation. I hope she gets better.
Bring back Valur & Pollys ball fetching expertise, with their crew too all sadly missed in this "new normal" that is not near the past broadcasts, and we wonder to know why???
Seems to be a seaweed revival in the culinary world. It's a bit of a thing here in Scotland too.
There is nothing to criticize on this edition of grapevine. I know Valur and everyone else wish you all the success for the future but we, the audience, will still miss the old crew. Great job though!
You lay off all the staff and the first video you put out post layoff is on seaweed?? Then I find out it was filmed in September. Good Luck. You will need it.
Yawn. Bring back Valur and Polly.
I thought the video was interesting and the host is very engaging. I don't understand why videos like these couldn't be mixed with news videos with Valur and Polli. There is a need to purge the old. It's the same here in Canada.
Although Iceland is and will always be one of the most surprising and beautiful places in the world, and although Shruthi did a very nice job, I NEED VALUR, ANDIE AND POLLY BACK!! I want to know what’s going on with the Icelandic Bank problem, with the Namibia affair, with the girl who was bullied, what are Laufey and Björk doing, and so many more interesting news…
Yes! Not much interest after the first few minutes. Heard all I need to know about seaweed in a short time. I want to hear about news and politics in Iceland, or where the earthquakes
are promising another volcanic eruption. I hope the new videos will feature one of the presenters throwing a ball.
Having grown up by the sea, I have always found this to be a really interesting subject. Thank you for doing this! :)
Just not the same without Valour and Polly, but I will give it a chance
A rather inauspicious start to the 'new direction'. I suspect that there are a lot of people puzzled as to what is going to happen so please could someone produce a video and explain what is planned for this new beginning.
That was good. We know that seaweed is an under-utilised 'vegetable' in european culture, so I am glad somebody is making something of this apparently free resource. But I hope the coastline does not get stripped bare by large-scale operators. Would like to know more about the fishing industry which, as Shruthi mentioned, plays such a large part in Icelandic life.
Well done Shruthi…thanks for an informative and fun video. I look forward to more newscasts on food, restaurants etc 👍🏼
Nice, unfortunatly a lot of wastewater goes straight in the sea here in Reykjavik. Unless someone convinces me it's clean to pick i would really like.
Watching from Philippines 33yrs old😊
This is very interesting. I really enjoyed to watch.
I am in the Midwest of the USA (far from the ocean) and love seaweed in food dishes. It is nice to see this.
As a transition video, after the unwelcome news of the departure of people who have come to feel like friends, this was a weird choice. Is this really the tenor they are moving towards? This particular video wasn’t for me. I’m really hoping for the best and don’t want to cancel my membership. Fingers crossed….
I think it was boring. No news about Iceland. No sense of humor. Next, are we going to see a video about foraging for weeds like dandelions? I'll give them a chance to get it together and find some folks that can make interesting videos.
No one is reading the description of when this was filmed 🤦🏼♀️.
Well, I guess we have to get used to this new 'direction'. It could work, maybe a new volcano would help.
I do not live by the ocean. I have many questions about foraging seaweed.
I'm going to miss Valur and Polly but the seaweed is very interesting and a beautiful beach. We have many of the same species here in NS, Canada but only Dulse is traditionally eaten. Unlike most Canadians, my family has always foraged for staple foods such as many wild greens and mushrooms.
Interesting to watch but not the same channel as brought us local news and (when erupting) volcano news. Just as well recorded in September as it would be too cold to be outdoors dressed as they are in December! Clearly there is an untapped food market with seaweed. Looking forwards to future videos with interest ...
Of course we all miss Valur, but I think Shruthi Basappa did a great job! It was interesting and fun to watch. 😃
The microphone sound was a bit low just after 14:00. 😜
Such children.
It seems like there was no direction or format in this video. I know you wanted to showcase seaweed in cuisine but it was extremely boring how this was done. I would have liked to know what dishes, what restaurants, where to get these dishes, how are these seaweed prepared, what sustainability could be gathered by using seaweed, what dishes could these different types of seaweed be used in? This seems so unorganized I’m in complete shock. I’m trying to give this a chance, and I hope that you guys can look at the past videos and see what made watching these videos so interesting and captivating. There seems to be a of comfortability in front of camera, a connection that made the viewers engage more with the host.
Let’s all enjoy some nice relaxing - and not forgetting - free - videos from the Grapevine whilst we see what happens. Watching two people chatting on a walk by the gently lapping sea - lovely and calm.
It’s going to be a bit odd round here for a while, but let’s give the team some time to find their own voices and always remember there are real people on the other end of any conversation.
And now I want sushi - tuna belly please!
You guys have a tough act to follow, but I will say that this was an enjoyable and informative video.
Of course I miss your compatriots that have left, but I also miss others who have left in the past, like Hannah Jane Cohen and Nanna Árnadóttir.
Thanks for this interesting video!
Three comments on here and they are all negative! We are all going to miss Valur and Polly but give the new people a chance. It always takes time for something new to settle in. I thought it was an interesting subject.
This was actually filmed in September 2022, and Shruthi has been writing for Grapevine for years. This is the old guard!
Not negative! I just miss them!
What about a poster with Valur and Polly, for the wall?
'Yeah, if you're into foraging for seaweed on rocks. I too, will give them time to get things together. Maybe they'll buy a puppy?
@@schoolingdiana9086 “Not being mean, just honest.” Wrong. You were mean. You could have made your point much less rudely. Grow up.
I gave this the benefit of the doubt and watched it through to the end but I found Shruthi as dull as dishwater. How could anyone think that this (regardless of when it was filmed) would be a suitable replacement for Valur, Pollý et al? It's a shame because Gisli seemed so interesting and this could have been so much better with a host with an ounce of charisma (and one who can pronounce "foraging" - Gisli did it correctly).
Almost 20 years Andie was there, they did her so dirty now I can't even watch. So unethical. I already canceled my High Five membership and might have to unsub now. I am sure the new American podcaster / partial owner will take this publication is great directions. 🙄
Nope.
Boo, Hiss....
hope you stay away from the aluminum regions
The Northern French collect the stuff while „pêche à pied“ and make kind of a pesto with olive oil, lemon, salt and sugar with it and eat it on a slice of buttered bread. It’s delicious.
Just don’t eat too much because of the very high iodine content. They say you can basically eat every kind of seaweed but not all of them taste really good.
They collect mostly the red varieties including Irish Moss and also the sea lettuce.
Next time would be nice to get some close shots of the varieties of the collected seaweed though.
I'm curious what all you can forage there. Seaweed obviously. I'm guessing maybe mushrooms in the summer? Edible brackens, flowers, what else?
