   Morel mushrooms grow in the Midwest. When I was a kid we would go hunting them in the spring

   To me the morels aren't pretentious because they're just something you wake up and find all over your back yard. The price tag is because it's not your backyard, and you don't have a way of making it your backyard. If they could be grown but you're CHOOSING to only eat ones foraged from a distant forest, that's pretentious. "They're good and somewhat common in their regions, but we can only get the leftovers harvested by random citizens" That's no more pretentious than a farmer's market. Teenagers emerging from the woods with a plastic buckets to pawn off the mushrooms they found isn't exactly pretentious.

   Morels are all over the place by my house in the north central US. But the season is short.

   We ONCE foraged morels. They are generally associated with hardwoods, I think, but we once found some growing among cottonwoods. Ordinarily we only see puffballs and common field mushrooms, but one year while looking for asparagus we happened to find morels. No, take that back, we found some again last spring! Second time in 30 or so years…

    I hope those mustard balls are still going! The fact that you can put it in the freezer and use as you need it means it has effectively an infinite self life. Yes mustard lasts a while but once open it needs to be used in a few months and if you're the only person who likes mustard I find it hard to get through..

    You Know what. I'd imagine the bamboo salt like the Garlic was descovered in its original form by mistake. Someone was using Bamboo to store their salt as the tube is the perfect container for no cost, which then fell in the fire and wasn't noticed until the fire had gone out and they couldn't afford to throw the salt out so used it and liked it.

    Not knowing morels is just shocking to hear. As I can go out in the woods around my house and get them during the right time of the year with bit of looking and etc. but then not all live in area where can just got outside into a the woods and pick them as they don’t live in areas they grow :).

    30 years ago, visiting Washington DC, I learned of an affordable French cafe. I went to dinner and got one of the budget specials. Chicken with morels in a sauce.

    I knew about morels but that dish was so tasty, I went back another night and had it again.

    It depends on what you mean when you ask if it’s pretentious. If the product is not what is advertised to be – actually a dried ball of mustard and horseradish made the traditional way it was made before modern storage and preserving methods – then yes it would be pretentious by pretending to be something its not. If you mean is it pretentious to use the particular high end marked ingredient in a meal at home for family and friends it may well be. If you are truly a foodie and this is “who you are and what you do” and you don’t try overly hard to brag to everyone about the “high end” “esoteric” ingredient (s) you used to make the meal – all the time – then no you’re not pretentious. If however part of your ego always needs to tell everyone what you got how much you paid and why it’s all so superior – like name dropping – then sorry – but yah – you’re pretentious.

    I agree with the boys about the Morrell- they aren’t pretentious in and of themselves, but a “normal buying them and not really knowing how to use them, just buying them because they are rare and expensive, would be a pretentious thing to do- so the product=not pretentious!🤷‍♀️

    Not sure who was adding timestamps to the video but the black garlic bit starts at about 4:40, not 5:50 xD
    Can someone fix that, please? @SortedFood?

    Where I live, Morel's grow wild behind the house (confirmed it with a local mushroom, licensed mushroom picker) in the woods. During the season (like…One month out of the year), I could go around with a bag and pick at least 2-3 pounds of them. Dad picked some one year and fried them off in just a little butter and they are amazing fresh.

    I think what this series has made me realise is how much disposable income I lack that makes me so uncultured 😂😂 seeing them review these ingredients and having an actual stomach churn when I hear the price makes me appreciate how well the channel has done to be able to afford these products to review them and provide their opinion when it’s most likely that I’ll never be buying these products 😂

    Jesus Christ that salt is pretentious.
    Salt is monosodium chloride. It doesn't matter how high you heat it up, it's still just going to be monosodium chloride. All the "taste" that salt has comes from the additives derived from the process, which you could just add in without all the… extra. And if it's really important to melt the salt, then there are far cheaper ways of doing it!

    Korean bamboo salt isn't pretentious – its a fucking bald-faced lie there is NO actual health benefit. Its just bullshit snake oil salesmen selling a very expensive product to gullible people.

    My mind is so blown!! We grew up going into our woods and picking morels. We got buckets and buckets of them! If we had only known we could have made that kind of money on them!! Fyi I grew up in Missouri in a tiny town near Springfield.
