@@robertwave612 I was just watching the ice cream one again yesterday. I'm fairly certain she got it all right :) I do remember following this series closely and this was the first miss. But, my memory could be wrong!
I havent seen his other videos, but in this instance, it is bacon. And there's no such thing as "bad" bacon. There's bacon. Good bacon. And great bacon. (Great bacon is usually 1/8" thick and has the rind on it.)
The sad part is that I could tell right away B was more expensive only because I have bought it at Sam's club for that price 🤣 it's actually pretty tasty
@@psychoticpurse6579 well he had a fair point. Judging by the process alone, bacon a had a much more time intensive and difficult production, even though it tasted worse and was processed. Sometimes you pay for processing so it was a fair assumption.

@@SuperBookdragon That's dope, I really love seeing them every video. They're really nice. Would love to see them in their own video, cheap and expensive art materials.
@asd asd well aren’t you the cheerful art connoisseur😏? Seriously though you should watch the video of her coming up with the concept just based on the subject and guidance of “minimal art in the centre” because that’s where the expert stands.
"Who knows? Wasn't even close. What do I know? I guess what I learn from this..." I just love it when the expert admits that there are things he still need to learn. Yes, turkey bacon is a disgrace, but he could easily trash the dish after he was wrong. Instead, he chose to be really humble and open for new knowledge. Overall, before becoming an expert, you should become a nice person first, which he did, and that is nice.
I think it's not so much about being a nice person but rather, enjoying what you do and having a passion for it. But being a nice person does help when you need to explain certain things about your field to people.
It taste like crap too.. I got it on a Pizza once, never disliked a Pizza that much before, even the one we got by mistake with shrimps and clams on it wasn't as bad.
My thoughts exactly! They didn't ask the cheese expert about cheez-whiz, or the ice cream expert about froyo, or the coffee expert about decaf. Unfair question, IMO. They could have asked about prosciutto instead.
Despite getting the turkey bacon one wrong. I am actually going to forgive and overlook that because turkey bacon is not bacon it's turkey sausage made to look like mcbacon. So this guy is still the honorable title holder of Sir Piggy Bacon in my books.

@@kevinmartin3124 exactly. I also hate when companies stop using preservatives because it severely limits shelf life when I want to buy bulk product instead of revisiting the store every week. Such a stupid trend in the food industry to market things this way. I don't care if food has sodium nitrates in it because nitrates are harmless but god forbid something have a chemical added to it.
@@jerrysiren3460 Buying products in bulk is cheaper than buying them in small individual packages. If you buy food bulk and don't eat all of it in a certain amount of time it goes bad. I'm not lazy, I just care about saving money and not being wasteful.

Might as well use that money to buy stable stocks and occasionaly "move it around" as stuff change. assuming that you have basic financial education which even just gives you a win to loss ratio of 51:49 you would still gain a bit.
Watching this during COVID-19 quarantine here in the UK (April 2020). I don't know if I'm just torturing myself by watching this, or reliving the good ol' days where shopping for bacon was easy. - Stay safe!
He's got a sausage company. He makes meat for a living, necessitating his expertise in the subject for his success. Hmmm, sounds like his meat expertness is his job buddy.
@@FirasLaallam you don't need to swallow every piece of meat you taste just like when you taste wine professionally, does not make you a drunk or alcoholic.
What a positive guy! Always remarking "Hey, this is a great product" even with the stuff I wouldn't buy like the processed Canadian bacon and the turkey bacon. A voice of an industry right there.
He said that they made A look more like a bacon and so he thought that more time was put into it albeit it tasted worse. Some expensive things taste worse than their cheaper counterparts
@Jed Lawson that's his point, taste is not only subjective but can be chemically induced through cheap alternatives to mimic something of higher quality.
Most likely because most of us assume that producers of turkey bacon try very hard to imitate pork bacon. And he saw how much effort went into (A) that producer's imitation . However, he didn't have knowledge of what distinguishes quality turkey bacon and bad quality. Ergo, it was an incorrect assumption.
@@RimReaper710 ALSO, as someone who keeps kosher I'm like 99% certain that the more expensive turkey bacon was a kosher brand (that I eat all the time). Kosher meat is always more expensive due to rabbinic supervision and the extensive preparation and slaughtering process.
But it actually did. His explanation proved that he is a meat expert, he just did not pick correctly because he was familiar with pricing for turkey bacon.
In French, we call bacon the canadian bacon and it's amazing except it's not fat so you won't have the crust.. In French, we call american bacon "poitrine fumée" (smoked breast) ou "lard" (fat from a pig).
You’re alll idiots. Bacon doesn’t have to be cut from the belly of the animal, only American bacon actually is. Turkey bacon, however, is not bacon because it is a sausage. I’d say the same thing for the imitation Canadian bacon.
In Canada, normal bacon is what you call "american" bacon. What you call "canadian" bacon is called back bacon. If you order bacon in a Canadian restaurant, you are getting "American" bacon
Same with ‘uk’ bacon - we call it back bacon and it’s much more popular than the American streaky bacon. Also we don’t generally cook the bacon as crispy as he did
I'm also Canadian and that "ham" looking bacon they always call Canadian bacon, is not even considered bacon here. Nobody I know buys bacon like that. I've worked in a few different meat departments for like 8 years and nobody cares about that kind of bacon. They consider it ham and it sells like 1/30 of what normal bacon does. It takes 1 shelf space vs over 20 spaces for normal bacon.
@@Marlonbc90 I doubt it, water and the salts dissolved in it are so simple you can just chemically test everything. A human specialiesd in that is useless compared to a machine
You can Google water sommelier and see for yourself. I'm not saying it is something that the world really needed, but it exists. Also, the point of it is not do a chemical analysis, it is to evaluate the taste of the water
@@Charlie_Xmas Yeah at 00:19 what he says is wrong. If you order bacon in Canada you'll get bacon not that abomination that is called canadian bacon. Our bacon is just like bacon in the States. Jeez!
working in a butcher shop it is completely safe to eat "THAT TYPE" of bacon in the beginning(the left one) like that it's been cooked to the point where it is safe to eat... alot of people would be worried about that. Just wanted to clarify...
It's not cooked. It's been smoked and cured, but you would still fry it in a pan or in the oven if you got that kind. The curing process which removes most of the moisture makes it relatively safe for uncooked consumption though.
Here in middle-europe we eat bacon and ham raw basically every time. We just put it in salt for 2 weeks and smoke it for a few days. I grew up on that. Completely safe. Italians do the same with prosciutto.
I like the more expensive turkey bacon. It's nice to look on the back of the package and see it only has two or three ingredients. It's more or less just turkey thigh meat, and you won't go back to heavily processed stuff once you've had it. Applegate turkey bacon is a great example.
Lol knew he was wrong on the second set as soon as he guessed the non-"rustic" option. Was kinda surprised, since he'd noted the lean chunks, lower processing, etc. on the more expensive piece
He didn't know a lot about turkey processing and assumed that the more processed one was more expensive cause you need more machinery and molds to make "bacon" from turkey
@@biowott4303 Yeah, looked like he was going for B, but then went for A by reasoning that making it look like bacon was a hard process to do. In reality, machines can do it pretty easy nowadays with processed meat. Like clown face bolonga.

Dang it, when I was a child I told my mom I want to be a Bacon Expert but she laughed at me. Now the other guy is on TV living my dream job.
Turkey bacon ain’t bacon, I’ll give my man Eli a pass
He literally said turkey bacon isnt really bacon. Did you even watch the video
I won’t because from behind a screen I still managed to get them all correct
sp00kycrispy You took the comment the wrong way
Daaaamn so much rust on these bacon people :D
Moe Khalil your profile pic matches the response perfectly lolol
>insert comment about the person who does the backgrounds
hahahaha ~
>insert comment about first mistake
someone should give the person who does the backgrounds a raise! heheh *knee slap*
Oh yes. Amazing background as always
I'm waiting for an olive oil expert.
Yes pleaase, this will benefit my life the most.
It's surprising they haven't done that yet. There's such a huge range in quality and prices of olive oil.
Or just an oils expert in general..... Ooh, and a vinegar expert, that could be really interesting!
Extra virgin
Olive oil will be very difficult. Italy has a huge problem with counterfeit olive oil that they hire expert taste testers to identify it, and even they get it wrong every so often.
Eli Cairo is great in both this and the It's Alive! episodes. He just seems like a genuine guy that loves his meat. I aspire to be this man.
This is my favorite Experts video yet! I don't know if there is something wrong with me, but I smiled the entire viewing. This will be my favorite "bacon memory" of the year!=
Becuase he actually seemed relatable
Next Video: *_Water expert guesse cheap and expensive water_*
I dont knowi this episode was much more harder to find differences than most of them. As least its not the knife expert one
I think they should blind test wines.. or liquor! XD
Good idea. But only a water sommelier could guess correctly

TheReportOfTheWeek has experience in this area.
i like how he always remarks how important is that the pig lived a healthy happy life. im vegetarian but i think more people should think like this
All pigs are antibiotic free, it's a fear mongering marketing campaign that makes you think that it's special.
@@kevinmartin3124 exactly. I also hate when companies stop using preservatives because it severely limits shelf life when I want to buy bulk product instead of revisiting the store every week. Such a stupid trend in the food industry to market things this way. I don't care if food has sodium nitrates in it because nitrates are harmless but god forbid something have a chemical added to it.
Centorea 88 So because you are lazy to go to the store, people should be eating less pure ingredients?
@@jerrysiren3460 Buying products in bulk is cheaper than buying them in small individual packages. If you buy food bulk and don't eat all of it in a certain amount of time it goes bad. I'm not lazy, I just care about saving money and not being wasteful.
Centorea 88 You know what inflation is right? kind of idiotic to save money. Might as well use that money to buy stable stocks and occasionaly "move it around" as stuff change. assuming that you have basic financial education which even just gives you a win to loss ratio of 51:49 you would still gain a bit.
Eli is such a meat nerd. I love it. Check out some of the other videos he's done with Brad Leone on Bon Appetit for more entertaining stuff.
Yeah! He's more fun in those videos!! Well Brad helps with that too. They are made for each other!! Lol.
knew someone else would recognize him
Isn’t this the meat expert with a hat on?
Blueeyes yeah lol
And he would've gotten away with it too...
shhh

Chalkboard art expert guesses cheap vs. expensive chalk
Hahahaha xD
Honey expert video please! So hard to tell if you’re getting ripped off.
Edit: olive oil would be great too!
I'd love to see one on olive oil.
Props to the people who made the background art. It looks amazing, but is underappreciated.
Johanna Bonana Actually there are comments with hundreds of likes on their previous videos saying how good the art is
It's by CarolinaRoDesign.
Get the guy(or girl) that does the background art to review cheap vs expensive chalk lol

Why am I watching a man eating bacon and explaining which bacon he would like to eat more for 18 minutes
Why do I get up in the morning to start some bacon on my george foreman? So I can wake up to the smell of fresh crackling bacon... sue me! 😂
Why you are here? How about me, im a vegetarian...
@TheGonzaPoker hehe
Watching this during COVID-19 quarantine here in the UK (April 2020). I don't know if I'm just torturing myself by watching this, or reliving the good ol' days where shopping for bacon was easy. - Stay safe!
The perfect job doesn't exi...
Being an Expert of something is actually more like a hobby than a job
Lucky boy got paid
That's not his job, dude's got a sausage company and other meat stuff, but yeah being a meat expert is probably fun
He's got a sausage company. He makes meat for a living, necessitating his expertise in the subject for his success. Hmmm, sounds like his meat expertness is his job buddy.
This is unhealty af, definetely not the perfect job
@@FirasLaallam you don't need to swallow every piece of meat you taste just like when you taste wine professionally, does not make you a drunk or alcoholic.
What a positive guy! Always remarking "Hey, this is a great product" even with the stuff I wouldn't buy like the processed Canadian bacon and the turkey bacon. A voice of an industry right there.
everything he said about the turkey bacon made me think B was the more expensive... idk why he chose A...
I think it was how they got the look of bacon. I'm not 100% sure though
He said that they made A look more like a bacon and so he thought that more time was put into it albeit it tasted worse. Some expensive things taste worse than their cheaper counterparts
@Jed Lawson that's his point, taste is not only subjective but can be chemically induced through cheap alternatives to mimic something of higher quality.
Most likely because most of us assume that producers of turkey bacon try very hard to imitate pork bacon. And he saw how much effort went into (A) that producer's imitation . However, he didn't have knowledge of what distinguishes quality turkey bacon and bad quality. Ergo, it was an incorrect assumption.
@@RimReaper710 ALSO, as someone who keeps kosher I'm like 99% certain that the more expensive turkey bacon was a kosher brand (that I eat all the time). Kosher meat is always more expensive due to rabbinic supervision and the extensive preparation and slaughtering process.
should have taken that hat off while judging turkey one. His meat expert might have kicked in instead of being a bacon expert. xD
But it actually did. His explanation proved that he is a meat expert, he just did not pick correctly because he was familiar with pricing for turkey bacon.
Wait... isnt this the dude that was just on Bon Appetit shooting game with brad?
yeah
At the end of the day, he's all about meat
@@xavierhuc2125 you cant teach that
MEATERTAINER i cant believe you missed the chance to call him a meatertainer @ConfusedGenius
He was also in the episode where Brad made sausages...
He's also a pheasant hunter and good boy expert.

@@nope.thankies I was hoping someone would say this
I thought he looked familiar... I believe

I am French Canadian and I grew up calling American bacon "bacon" and Canadian bacon "ham"...
Did you mean "jambon?" :D
@@chauntikleer Yeah jambon but traducted in english for english speakers. I forgot they also know the word jambon D:
Not sure I would know the word jambon had I not studied French in school.
Maybe, ... metric bacon?
In French, we call bacon the canadian bacon and it's amazing except it's not fat so you won't have the crust.. In French, we call american bacon "poitrine fumée" (smoked breast) ou "lard" (fat from a pig).
Did you see how expertly he distinguished each bacon? YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT
Flashbacks to pheasants
Brothers, Our Perpetual Uncle, Brad Leone, has united us once again
Well ... Yes, you can teach that. He's literally teaching us in the video how.
I am vegetarian and I still love and appreciate the passion and knowledge Eli speaks with. Love this guy.
i love all the people on here talking about brad. and the fact that we only have to say "brad" and we all know which brad lol.
Just who in the world wouldn't love Brad?

TURKEY BACON IS NOT BACON
that’s why this bacon expert knew nothing about it - because he has no reason to, because IT’S NOT BACON!!!!
Yes it is... Bacon is just cut from the belly of an animal
@@SylasTheGreat and Turkeys don't have bellys. welcome to the conversation
@@jackl45 you're joking right? They do have bellys... Try again buddy
@Hervis Daubeny thank you for the correction. I knew something didn't look right
You’re alll idiots.
Bacon doesn’t have to be cut from the belly of the animal, only American bacon actually is.
Turkey bacon, however, is not bacon because it is a sausage. I’d say the same thing for the imitation Canadian bacon.
The drawing on the back is rustic and elemental and probably smoked for 48 hours.
Tea Expert Guesses Cheap Vs Expensive Tea
Stefano Gomez omg yes
Yes please.
yes
In Canada, normal bacon is what you call "american" bacon. What you call "canadian" bacon is called back bacon. If you order bacon in a Canadian restaurant, you are getting "American" bacon
Right? Im canadian and never seen "canadian" bacon... I just buy bacon... But as alway americans gives their countries name on everything "facepalm"
That sausage-style Canadian Bacon is what you find on American pizzas ordered with Canadian Bacon on them.
Same with ‘uk’ bacon - we call it back bacon and it’s much more popular than the American streaky bacon. Also we don’t generally cook the bacon as crispy as he did
I'm also Canadian and that "ham" looking bacon they always call Canadian bacon, is not even considered bacon here. Nobody I know buys bacon like that. I've worked in a few different meat departments for like 8 years and nobody cares about that kind of bacon. They consider it ham and it sells like 1/30 of what normal bacon does. It takes 1 shelf space vs over 20 spaces for normal bacon.
Thanks! That would not have been obvious to traveling Americans :)
The first error ever in the whole series! Remarkable!
So glad the first error ever wasnt even his niche. It really shows these experts know their stuff.
14:39 then you're gonna LOVE Australian bacon, it does UK bacon but it keeps the entire streaky bacon, not just part of it
yes!!! I was about to make this comment!
Wow, the size of it must be really long then?
@@lemonsgalore93 yep it can be.
Aussie bacon is best with aussie pork instead of imported pork like most it is made of(imported is normally way cheaper to)
Can you do a water expert tasting different waters
😂
You laugh, but this is actually a thing
@@Marlonbc90
I doubt it, water and the salts dissolved in it are so simple you can just chemically test everything. A human specialiesd in that is useless compared to a machine
Abdulaziz Aljuid And yet, it's still a job. Though there are very few people who do it
You can Google water sommelier and see for yourself. I'm not saying it is something that the world really needed, but it exists. Also, the point of it is not do a chemical analysis, it is to evaluate the taste of the water
Isn't this the same dude who went hunting with Brad?
It is, this channel is also owned by BA
i was so confused. im pretty sure it is
Yep, and from the sausage episode
Yea, he's the guy. If you're ever in Portland, make sure you stop in to olympia provisions, his place.
@@SO-vw8nx I didn't know that, now it all makes sense lol.
He's exactly what I imagine a bacon expert would look like.
"Canadian bacon is like American bacon, but friendlier and with better health care"
I laughed hard at that
The youtube foodie community loves Eli!! You could say he's the videogame easter egg equivalent ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
He is very enthusiastic about his Bacon🥓. I like😀
YEAH have you watched the meat expert video he is in?
Dude, he's not even close to many other Americans I've seen on UA-cam. He's tame.
Do cheap vs expensive sushi!
I think only one of those is called "Sushi", the other is referred to as "food poisoning."
@@ObservingLibertarian there is some pretty good cheap sushi
He literally made all the points that would make turkey b more expensive and he still went with a
This is what i said to myself...
Canadian Bacon. It's like American bacon, but friendlier... and better health care XD
... But its not the same at all...
and Canadian don't call it that, because it's just sliced ham. Bacon is bacon
@@Charlie_Xmaswe just call it ham or the real preferred way is coating the loin in cornmeal, which we call peameal bacon. It's amazing.
@@Charlie_Xmas Yeah at 00:19 what he says is wrong. If you order bacon in Canada you'll get bacon not that abomination that is called canadian bacon. Our bacon is just like bacon in the States. Jeez!
I'm Canadian and wtf is Canadian bacon
He looks exactly like what you'd think a bacon expert would look like
Ryler Tufo I would guess Honey Boo Boo looks like what a bacon expert would look like tbh
Nah, he looks way to thin to see like one.
Because that’s what bacon experts look like
@@drwaqasone she is the bacon
These replies are ridiculous. Bacon is extremely nutritious.
working in a butcher shop it is completely safe to eat "THAT TYPE" of bacon in the beginning(the left one) like that it's been cooked to the point where it is safe to eat... alot of people would be worried about that. Just wanted to clarify...
Interesting thanks for the info
It's not cooked. It's been smoked and cured, but you would still fry it in a pan or in the oven if you got that kind. The curing process which removes most of the moisture makes it relatively safe for uncooked consumption though.
@Clay Goeke think its still recommend to cook fully
@Clay Goeke dude relax, i was just refering to the "USDA recommend to cook bacon fully" thing at 3:32
Here in middle-europe we eat bacon and ham raw basically every time. We just put it in salt for 2 weeks and smoke it for a few days. I grew up on that. Completely safe. Italians do the same with prosciutto.
I like the more expensive turkey bacon. It's nice to look on the back of the package and see it only has two or three ingredients. It's more or less just turkey thigh meat, and you won't go back to heavily processed stuff once you've had it. Applegate turkey bacon is a great example.
Lol knew he was wrong on the second set as soon as he guessed the non-"rustic" option. Was kinda surprised, since he'd noted the lean chunks, lower processing, etc. on the more expensive piece
he guessed that due to the fact that A had more processing, it would have cost more to manufacture
I think he got it wrong on purpose as a joke lol since turkey “bacon” isn’t real bacon.
@@Rclay0129 8:20
Doubt it considering he is clearly attempting to make an educated guess.
Alien what do you know? Do aliens even have bacon? Lol
@@Rclay0129 I..
Okay, you win this round; but I'll be back.
Honestly the streak is gone but this guy was the perfect one to finally get something wrong.
Ak10Twenty He’s a bacon expert and they asked him about imitation bacon. That’s an insult.
He seemed so affronted when the put the turkey bacon in front of him. 😂
Nah doesn’t count. They gave a bacon expert a product that wasn’t bacon.
The more “natural looking one” I’d always assume is more expensive.. I’m surprised he guessed “A” over “B” for the turkey bacon..
Stefano Gomez haha I feel like he panicked
His argument was going towards B, so he probably went A last minute, but turkey bacon is definitely not a real bacon lol.
Same
He didn't know a lot about turkey processing and assumed that the more processed one was more expensive cause you need more machinery and molds to make "bacon" from turkey
@@biowott4303 Yeah, looked like he was going for B, but then went for A by reasoning that making it look like bacon was a hard process to do. In reality, machines can do it pretty easy nowadays with processed meat. Like clown face bolonga.
7:26 You just can’t not love the perfectly synced jingle.
First time I can remember an expert being wrong but it endeared me to him.
