    Item #1: YUCK, rosemary. No bueno. #2:SUPER YUCK, rosemary WATER??? #3: I have NO qualms about liquid smoke whatsoever; it DOES, however, have to be used with a LIGHT hand. #4: No qualms about mayo made with "boutique" oils. You NEED oil for a proper mayo so why not go for it??? #5: "Lick Your Scent"??? Guess it would pass as a prop in a porno film, other than that, NERP.

    If I were James I'd have been like, "There is no meat in an Old Fashioned… why didn't I get one too???"

    Watching this in 2023 the prices all seem reasonable haha

    i really hope Jaime came up with that dad joke himself

    We use liquid smoke in a number of recipes in the U.S.
    It is especially nice if you don't own a grill.
    The Rosemary water is pretentious.

    jamie always stick his fingers in his food, licks it and when he smells anything he always sticks it up his nose like he is an addict of cocaine lol

  10. @SondreGrneng

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    The spray thing becomes pretentious when you realize you have sit above a glass and fucking spray it. You're gonna looks like a massive dick.

  11. @JuroJack

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Ben looks so indignant at 7:58 when Jamie says “It’s burnt…” about the bread 😂😂😂

    The average Louisiana cook has liquid smoke in their cupboard. We can't always cook, or smoke outside.

  13. @robinsmith5442

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Liquid smoke has been around longer than me and I'm 66!

  14. @debbiedugay8574

    I have been using liquid smoke in cooking for probably 50 years. I first became aware of it while living in Alaska with my Air Force family. I was watching my Dad cook dinner one night (in winter) what it was. I remember him telling me that it was for when you wanted the cookout flavor but it was -30c outside . I never forgot that. Years later I joined the Navy and while serving in Iceland I had my Dad send me some. Now I am having mobility issues and can't always fire up my grill, I love having a bottle on hand. I am my Father's daughter, lol.

    You have to be pretty ignorant not to know how much avocado oil costs and why is it better than bloody vegetable oil. For fuck sake..

  16. @karenclover4948

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    So funny laughed so hard. You're all brilliant

  17. @zachmiller9175

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Does Kraft not sell avocado mayo in the UK? In the US you can buy avocado mayo at Aldi…

  18. @drsch

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Wait…you guys consider liquid smoke a special ingredient? It's a perfectly normal, regular ingredient that isn't to replace BBQ. You use it as a marinade for things like brisket or chicken.

  19. @em84c

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    I'm curious how to use liquid smoke. Do you put it on before or after cooking? Or either?

  20. @kat_the_mouse

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    I'm so fucking tired of James acting like not being a carnivore for five seconds is a fate worse than death.

  21. @lexiharding5498

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    The end of this video with the blooper doesn't age well (or ages really well) when you watch this after James has already left 😂Well done Ben, you did it!

  22. @shantopfloor1911

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    I would so take James' seat.

  23. @hayleysiofracotter6625

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    So which of you sre actually kinkiest? =P

  24. @garyvee6023

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Use the liquid smoke when you are marinating meat for making jerky. yuuuum.

  25. @tizianacaruana1042

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    I used liquid smoke for bbq sauce and spare ribs in the instant pot. So yummy i will def buy it again

  26. @alanstern6930

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    "We love playing with posh little things" is that how Barry got into the friend group?

  27. @bcaye

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Just a reminder- if wood smoke is not involved, it isn't barbeque.
    Funny thing, you can smoke on a grill, it's easy. I don't know why people don't.
    Liquid smoke sucks.

  28. @AhmadAfiqJamalis

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Man the blooper for this one hits different now

  29. @VamLoveAndKisses

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    That roast potato oil was 100% pretentious! You could just buy some rape seed oil for about £3 and stick some fresh rosemary & garlic in to infuse yourself.

  30. @michellevietor8185

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Did you guys ever try the fork that had a fragrance diffuser in the handle? That was interesting.

  31. @michellevietor8185

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Liquid smoke is pretentious? Lol. It's cheap and readily available here. You can buy it by the gallon!

  32. @andrewmontague9682

    December 24, 2023 at 1:33 am

    Still fed up of him Ben? 😢

    Just rewatching some old episodes and sad because we won’t be getting the regular roasting and banter With James and Ebbers since the announcement of James getting a new job this past weekend😞
