    I remember being in the UK you could just buy fresh pre-shelled peas…I would buy them as a healthy snack… not a chance in Aus – Or at least I've never found them 🤨☹

    My husband had to go over 6 months before we could afford new glasses. I had to duct tape them nearly every day. Invest in duct tape, & always try to buy an extra pair!

    While trawling through all of these videos, I think it would be amazing if you did a cheap Vs premium dry-age steak taste test. Though I did just watch the video with the A5 wagyu steak one

    A fun blind taste test would be regular fruit vs premium Japanese or Korean fruits normally gifted in very special boxes – I believe it would be totally obvious but the fellas should have a treat.

    I would definitely go for the cheaper Olive Oil… 70 pounds is far too much to pay for oil per litre.

    A suggestion for the future: go to Malaysia. A lot of interesting foods. Don't miss going to Cameron Highlands. The fresh produce sold in roadside markets there is the best i have ever eaten in my life (despite travelling a lot). As kids and teens I remember me and some friends we travelled with to the highlands eating massive bags of cherry tomatoes like lollies or chips. So good, and cheap as anything

    Interestingly our cheapest extra virgin olive oil is from our supermarket chain brand, Coles.., it has topped the taste list EVERY TIME. There is a simple reason for this, oil should be as young as possible and not subject to massive temp changes (hence the "cold pressed") or it will go rancid very very quickly. (A quick way to check is check the label for when it was made/pressed). The trouble with all of the oils from Italy/Spain is that they are at least 5 or 6 months old by the time we get them in Australia and having been shipped in sea containers are continuosly changing temperature. All olive oils should be used within 12 months of opening…, or thrown out and if you don't believe me…, do the taste test yourself and see what the after taste is like in your mouth from old olive oil, Yuuuuck.

    … And here I've been storing my extra virgin olive oil in my heated outdoor swimming pool

  18. @scottsummers3491

    January 2, 2024 at 8:25 am

    I guess what people don't understand about why storage of olive oil matters, is that most don't get that it is essentially fruit juice. Albeit, in oil form. Thus, it needs to be consumed as fast as possible after opening. Also, stored in a dry, dark, and cool place because as time passes by all those things that make the oil what it is will decay with time… Do you leave your orange juice for weeks inside your fridge?

  19. @seanbrodney7716

    January 2, 2024 at 8:25 am

    Also when you freeze things as opposed to other methods of preservation: they don't have to add preservatives or salt or whatnot for them to last an almost infinite amount of time, yet retain almost all the nutrients (arguably as well or better than tranporting them fresh), making them wildly healthy

    Watching this again today and I have to admit I love it when you pit Jamie and Barry together.

  22. @DeltaDemon1

    While I agree with the toilet paper, I found that cheap garbage bags are definitely better. You can only fill the cheap garbage bags half as much as the expensive ones but they can cost one fifth the cost of good ones. It's just a matter of getting used to filling them halfway to two third of the way only.

  23. @DeltaDemon1

    January 2, 2024 at 8:25 am

    When I was young, we had peas picked fresh from the garden. I did not fully appreciate it at the time because I did not like peas. Now, I wish we could get fresh peas. However, frozen are almost as good.

    Bit late watching this one, not sure how I missed it first time around but thank you Youtube Algorithm! I really want the lads to get Jack Monroe on and have a challenge with her vs James. Have James make a dish and for Jack to get as close as she can with tinned/frozen/pre-prepared (cheaper) products. Just to show people that you can have really chef-y food made cheaply and not have a huge difference in taste

    I'd really want to see more comparisons between fresh and frozen. That was honestly pretty interesting.

    I know that haha Barry doesnt understand maths. But with the Tomatoes. £1.20 is closer to £2.40 than £2.40 is to £5

  34. @TonyStark-oq1bw

    I’m from Spain and it is quite common for many people here to don’t use any other olive oil that extra virgin, what we use are the different types of olives they come from

  35. @AhsokaTanoTheWhite

    January 2, 2024 at 8:25 am

    Barry's maths: 5 pounds is closer to 2.40 than 1.20 is…

    Barry, I don't like your t-shirt – the skull on it is distasteful and evil.

    Expensive olive oil is well worth the money for certain dishes. It plays a huge role in the flavor of marinara sauce for example. Want to taste test them against one another, buy some $30 oil, and some cheaper oil like Bertolli. Fill a shot glass with each, you will be able to sip the good stuff like fine wine, the Bertolli, not so much. There is a huge difference folks, and the expensive oil is well worth the money, but is certainly not for frying.

    Can I just say that I LIVE off of frozen veg? I have several chronic medical conditions that affect my energy levels and frozen veg are fresh and ready to throw in any dish. Caveat: I only eat the organic, there is a HUGE taste difference.

    fresh peas frozen peas… both are good. canned peas yuck not for me. frozen is fine.
