I'd like to see an episode on Extremely Specific Silverware. Give the boys a grapefruit spoon or an olive spoon etc and see how long it takes them to work out exactly which food it was specifically designed to tackle.

Kush with the red goatee looking like nothing weird was going on, had me dying.

A note from a Mexican fan: for a truly fantastic foam with the chocolate we make it cold and just froth away until our arms fall off. The foam can end up twice as tall as the beverage itself and tastes amazing. Its still sold like that in some traditional markets during the hot summer as a refreshing beverage.

My dad collected mustache cups. Has a few hundred of them. He really appreciated your highlighting them on today's episode and agrees that they are made to last. Thanks for all you do!

The mustache cup test was fantastic. And great seeing everyone join in.

Think you could do something along the lines of "exploring student meals across the world", cheap student staples that could help others that want cheap food inspiration?

Before I even watch - THANK YOU for having subtitles on your videos again. It's so very appreciated.

Mike's moustache makes him look like a 1930s Belgian detective whereas Jamie's moustache makes him look like a 1970s German porn star 😂

I’ve noticed over the last several months that Mike has made a real effort to be more open-minded to new ideas and opinions. He’s very positive and seems to be really trying to consider all perspectives and not rule things out. Kudos, Mike!!

[professorsypher]

Lol... I'm imagining coming across the clip of Mike and Jamie rubbing each other's mustaches and saying how dry they are, but completely without context. 😂😂😂

I’d love a gadget video solely on garlic presses/crushers/slicers. There are so many different versions. The traditional press, the handle press you rock, the crushers where you put it in the bottom and crush with a top, a mini chopper type gadget etc.

Here in Mexico we still use piloncillo (our word for panela) regularly for certain traditional recipes and for cafe de olla, and you can get it granulated but the cones are still very commonplace so i would love that nipper right now! So i dont have to get the hammer out to break it up cause its often too hard!

[daynhoy]

Interesting that the sugar is called Panela as that is the name of the most common
mild cheese in Mexico. Also, Mexican hot chocolate commonly comes in pucks that you break bits off and usually has cinnamon in it. I own a Mexican hot chocolate frother. Have had it for years and use it often. I should mention, that I am a Canadian who lives in Mexico. Love your channel. It brings me joy.

I am literally drinking coffee from a mustache mug as I'm watching this. Found it exactly 11 years ago (thank you FB Memories) at a Goodwill up in Maine.

Surprised we didn’t see Ben under the closh as he’s an antique vintage gadget coming from the Victorian era 😂

[loraweems]

I knew what each item was.
I live in Texas, so not only do we sell the hot chocolate mixer, but the Mexican chocolate, which comes in a bar (similar to Bakers chocolate). The most common brand around here is Abuelita.

The sugar tong, and the result of the bits of sugar one gets from using the tongs on the sugar loaf/cone, is the origin of the phrase, "One lump or 2?"

My husband used a mustache cup. He had a mustache/beard similar to the ginger one in the video.

And my family uses the pastry cutter quite frequently.

In my opinion, all 4 of the gadgets shown are "built to last!"

The chocolate frother was identical to a gadget my grandmother used from the 1920s onwards to make Horlicks. There was a tall ceramic jug and the frother both marked with the Horlicks name. It was a cheaper alternative to the pyrex jug with the metal plunger. I can still remember her using it to make my bedtime drink in the 1950s.
I didn't get the pasta maker, but I did get the other two. Grandmother also had a set of sugar nips similar to those on the programme which she inherited from her own mother.

[mary-ruthflores]

Chocolate frother, I live in Texas and have used one all my life, have one and used it last night. Mexican chocolate has cinnamon in it and it needs beating. Love it!! A wire whisk doesn’t do the same thing

[EiP_]

I've seen Chitaras used before and I have to say, what Jamie ended up doing to cut the pasta is what I've always seen the tool used, so well done on figuring that out!

[proPRODUCTUONS]

When Ben showed how Chefs whisk (using a straight arm), there must have been THOUSANDS of people across the world air whisking simultaneously. I know I did!
