Can never get enough of these. Keep em coming!
Nice, but come on, give us an expert in olive oil already!
Maybe Gordon, but very unlikely.
That is very narrow, they wouldn’t make a 5min video, pick oil in general then but you can’t really just taste oil
Gordon Ramzy isn’t an expert
That would be an interesting one to do as a mashup with other experts for when the subject matter is too narrowly defined for an extended video like this.
Would like this as well.
Kraknoix 007 It may not be enough for a video, but you can taste the difference in olive oils. You taste it by dipping some bread in.
This is fun, but is it Daniel Whittington tasting whisk(e)y? No, no it isn’t.
Love this, as ever – especially since condiments are daily-use items (or close) that make so much of a difference to pretty much any processed food or sandwich. Could we please have an episode on tea next? You’ve kept us waiting t-oolong. Pretty please, teas?
+pipesmokingtom PST do you too feel pu’er-er for the lack of a tea video my friend
Omfg a tea one would be awesome, especially if they used a variety of loose leaf vs bags. Maybe throw an iced tea or instant powdered tea in there too
+Leov Agreed! I’m from West Bengal, the state in India where many of the various Darjeeling tea varieties are grown. We’re also Assam’s neighbours, so we reap the benefits of their tea cultivation as well! ^_^ We tend to drink exclusively loose leaf back home in India, but I’ve been living abroad and it’s a lot more cheap and convenient to use bags here. They always lose their fragrance in transit, so I’d love tips (hehe tips get it like tea I’m sorry) on how to choose tea bag teas that keep their fragrance. I cannot count the number of times I have made awful tea puns on this channel asking for a tea episode ahahaha – hopefully this pekoes their interest.
That’s a truly beautiful pun
+Elizabeth Larson Thank you random citizen <3
What series of paths do you need to choose in your life in order to become a ‘condiment expert’?
They aren’t really “______ Expert”. Just like the Bacon expert is not a “Bacon” Expert. Its just to simplify the title of the video. He might own a store that sells high quality condiments and needs to know this stuff. Reading the description though. He is the owner of a business that tries to sell all natural condiments. So he probably knows natural to quotidian condiments.
Well, whatever degree he chose, he’s almost certainly doing better than you, given that he recently sold his company to Unilever for around $140 million. But, you know, keep making fun.
A stupid mustache
+Adam Wood In this context the plural is indeed mayonnaises. https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-plural-of/mayonnaise.html.
The right ones 😉
Never thought I’d voluntarily spend time hearing somebody talking about the sheen and glossiness of ketchup lol
Lol
life’s full of surprises innit
I love his ways of speaking about condiments
Condoms
Same here. Hes very passionate
gloopy is my favorite word lol
Well, we all do.
I never thought I’d ever learn about my emotional connection to ketchup, either.
Me either but he was right! I even had a flash back of me excitedly reading for the ketchup bottle for the first time to put on my hotdog… it was also the moment I realized I hated ketchup on my hotdogs.
what, pray say, did you think about instead? we’re dying to know.
Goddess Ahh mustard belongs on hot dogs not ketchup I agree. I’ve know this since I was a child too.
Tea expert / tea product expert please…
+Robert Coffey I was joking about literal crap (as in the stuff that comes out the butts of animals and people) that I hope and think are not in tea. “To verb-of-your-choice the crap out of something” is a weird expression that’s spilling over into contexts in which I find it’s use slightly disturbing.

OBVIOUSLY SIMPLYNAILOGICAL
Tea is flavourless and just for caffeine unless it’s chai.
It is coming in saw the board for it in the artists Instagram
Does anyone know of a good shop in Southern California that sells exotic teas?
I liked when you guys posted a bit about the experts in the ‘about’ section of the video. Much like how the Spice Expert and the Meat Expert both own their own shops, etc…
They sacrificed a goat and summoned the Dark Lord to bring forth a… condiment expert.
But, yeah, it seems unfair to not mention these experts’ businesses, when that’s likely the main reason why they agreed to do these videos. (And, as Mr.P-Fox mentioned, it’s Sir Kensington’s.)
i like when you use google
+Mr.P-Fox Thanks!
+Alex U
Thank you, I totally agree!
+creativmindplay ok
Guys, I need suggestions for Christmas condiments 🍯🤔
I don’t know if I’m using the word condiment right, but wouldn’t that be anything with cinnamon, vanilla or star anise?
If you cant get fig chutney a spiced plum chutney does it aswell 🙂
Ill never look at my condiments the same again
this guy KNOWS his stuff, these experts amaze me every time
I guess he meant “almost 9 times *more* expensive”
This is prepared to a point you can’t even imagine.
Youtube channels like this one don’t do unscripted, and the amount of knowledge that you’re getting from it is not off the top of his head.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that he doesn’t know his s**t, i’m just saying that he knew what kind of s**t he would have to bring up to amaze you
Ben Worthel exactly
ratha bun it’s fake & scripted, like WWE. It’s not reality, or even actuality, but is actually fake, gay, and scripted just to make a video. They just read from the script and pretend to know what they are talking about.
+hacklex974 I really don’t think your right. They might get told in general some things. But this guy owns a business that deals exclusively in making condiments (sir kensingtons) and he’s one of the founders who created it in 2010. Which basically means this guy has dedicated the last decade of his life to doing exactly what this show is.
I assure you when they went to make a ketchup he spent tons of time taste testing ketchup to decide what made a great ketchup and since he literally runs the business, he’s acutely aware of what it costs to make things like ketchup and mustard and mayo.
He spoke confidently on the price of mustard seeds, not because they told him info but because he’s a man who shops for and purchases mustard seeds as a routine business expense.
He spoke about exactly what the ketchup needed he said “doesn’t have enough salt doesn’t have enough… etc” which he said because he’s a man who makes it.
I don’t think it’s scripted, I think he just knows this stuff in the same way that a math person could easily JUST KNOW pi to like the 20th digit.
Who do all these experts have such great voices?
Because most of them are leading huge businesses and to make it big you have to get people to support you which is easier with such a pleasant voice.
That would be my guess at least.
Watching a guy eat ketchup at 2am. Worth it.
GhostRid3r I’m watching a guy eating mayonnaise at 3am
After watching these videos, I walk around feeling like a god. I have all the expert knowledge on condiments, knives, bacon, ice cream, and more. Now, I just need to find a way to put these skills on my résumé.
If you think you understand knives then you have much still to learn. I am kidding, a bit. There is a lot of minutiae in the proper manufacturing and care of knives, from the choice of steel(s), handle shape and material, inclusion or exclusion of an integrated bolster, whether or not to have a plunge grind with a blunted heel, the specific characteristics of the primary grind, the angle of the secondary and/or tertiary grinds, the fineness of the final polish on the edge, the overall shape and balance of the blade, etc. There is a lot to consider regarding any one knife.
+Robert Coffey Well I know that a knife is generally not kept sticking out of the victims midsection, so there’s that
or, alternatively, not.
You need to get a whiskey expert on
I would love to see a mini-series with all types of alcohol.
Someone always says that in the comments and I never disagree
yes
PEWDIEPIE
“Pardon me for double dipping” you’re the only one eating it you’re fine
People complained on other videos about double dipping and unclean hands.
That’s the joke
+Rayson Viswas LOL
Think the crew probably eats the rest of it
That was the nicest way of saying the expensive ketchup was a waste of money
Depends on your taste. Maybe some people like less sweet and acidic ketchup?
Did you like it though?
Could you make it with your own tomatoes?
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…… and nowhere is that more true than ketchup”
