This continues to be an excellent series! However, it's a shame when some things aren't tried by the presenters. One of the key selling points of Food Wars is watching the hosts put their body through real torture in the name of telling us how things taste 🤣

@esmeecampbell7396 6 месяцев назад

43:47 this is true, there's plenty of historical evidence such as recipes from Tudor courts like Henry VIII's and from mentions in food available at places like Shakespeare's Globe Theatre that "Mince" pies DID originally have Minced Beef (still spiced with Christmas spices like Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cloves) the fruit only versions were much later to coincide with sweet food desires of the Georgian (1700s) period, and as a way for the wealthy to show off that they could afford expensive fresh fruit to go into pies (rather than mince which is made from the cheapest cuts of meat) which over time became cheaper to be made. Back in the days of the original Mince pie though the pastry wasn't as sweet or crumbly and would instead have been more like the hard pastry of a Melton Mowbray style "pork pie"

@DrWhoFanJ 6 месяцев назад

43:38 It is made with mincemeat, but it is not made with *minced meat.* Mincemeat (just like its cousin sweetmeat) uses a much earlier definition of "meat" that simply meant "food in general" rather than specifically animal-based food. It’s only now the original secondary definition of meat has become the dominant one that mincemeat and sweetmeat seem like misnomers, but they’re really not. They’re simply using an earlier definition of the word "meat" that no longer really survives outside of those two specific cases.

Love watching these Christmas specials every year. Thanks guys!

@mercgurl80 6 месяцев назад

My takeaways on the Starbucks section, as a US Starbucks barista: 1) Glad to have gingerbread lattes back (didn’t have them for 3 years), but still salty that the UK has eggnog and we don’t; 2) Surprised gingerbread loaf and snowman cookies are only available in some regions of the US. I have them in my store (in the San Francisco Bay Area); and 3) Bring back South Pole Sam and North Pole Nat, Starbucks UK! Why you gotta do Harry dirty like that? 🥺

@kandipiatkowski8589 6 месяцев назад

I see Joe has a similar opinion to me with Reeces...any "shaped" Reeces taste horrible, but I love the regular ones. Nico should try the regular nutty buddy. It is covered in chocolate. They taste loads better than the shaped Reeces. I like butterfinger, but they are difficult for me to eat these days...I would much prefer a nutty buddy over the butterfinger.

". I am not kidding here. What happened to chicken drippings and then add flour.

But my reaction was so bad that yeah, my mum was too scarred to eat crisps for a while after haha

They way I understand it, organizing a national roll out for a limited product is a nightmare in the US, because the US is so big and sourcing and distributing is really difficult over such a large land mass. Everything is far more compact in the UK. Not sure if this is the definitive answer, but it makes some sense.

@louisa1514 6 месяцев назад

@@PapagenoMF I've heard that the US rail network isn't extensive, but always in relation to passenger travel. Does the same go for freight too? I'm just wondering if an over-reliance on truckers and the road network contributes to the issue when other large countries like China can also have extensive limited edition options.
