“It’s like eating a bouncy castle” is an amazing way to describe something 😂

I've gotten out of watching YouTube a lot (life got so... lifey...) but i used to watch the channel obsessively. I decided to watch this while I had dinner and was hit with this wave of comfort and nostalgia??? Kind of reminded me of better times. You're a very comforting dude, Barry 😂
Thanks for making my night cozy!

Uncle roger will finally approve of nephew barry now he’s used MSG

Just a remainder that if you take any pickled/fermented thing out of a jar, better to do it with a clean fork or something like that. Because doing it by hands, you introduce another bacteria into the brine, and you will make rest of pickles in jar soggy instead of crispy :)

Barry Lewis thanks for what you do. You may be just talking to glass in the kitchen but imo what I adore is how sincere your responses are and how genuine you are in your excitement to find and experience new things. Some on youtube I have to wonder if they scripted it all but you I never have to wonder this is all you and We love it.

We love the “Marry Me” chicken in our house, but we’ve been making it for over 10 years now. If you like mushrooms, you can add morels, or any mushroom of your choice. It’s unbelievable!

[EliskaMM]

Morgan's coffee videos are amazing, I am not surprised, hers works :)

[jacknorman]

Please do that video on MSG! It’s been so stigmatised in western culture when in actual fact it’s perfectly safe to use and is used as a regular seasoning in Asia and they live pretty long over there!

[FactsFun]

I am now like you were when you started, a very novice cook. I have cooked marry me chicken twice now and we love it. STILL haven’t tried your amazing chicken drumsticks yet, but I will!

[lockonandfire]

Ooo, a wild MorganDrinksCoffee appearance in the latte section!

[destiny]

Im really liking the new camera angles you have been using as you make your videos

[kimbahrlee]

You took that sugar syrup a tad too far as it's gotta be clear, plus saucepan is def the way to go, plus a bit less fruit on the sticks to dunk it easier. The cucumber salad and chickle look interesting though, been seeing a bunch of those on TikTok as well!

[theblode]

I'm glad you figured out the pickle one in the end, I would have been left hanging otherwise

'By the paws of Boston!' Get that on a t-shirt right now👍

[HomeBrewandGardeningAustralia]

'By the paws of Boston'? Someone's been watching Galaxy Quest! Love it!

[MarkDotExe]

Hi Barry! I hope you're having a good day! Thank you for the positive content! Stay well! Cheers!

[PureMetalNS]

That marry me chicken is almost exactly the same as one we make, originally from gousto or hello fresh, called Tuscan Chicken. First time we had it I remember saying that if this is what food is like in Tusacany, we have to go there ASAP!
You should try it with chicken thigh, and add in some sugar snaps or mangetout for a fresh crunchy contrast

[Silentgrace]

Gotta love me a good quickle ;) I love making fresh pickles for a dish I’m making and only let it set for however long it takes me to cook everything else.

This was great Barry! Thanks for all the videos. Im gonna try that cereal milk one maybe with reeses cereal. The 3rd one though....its pickles...not a salad...pickles..tiktok thinks it invented quick pickles. 😆
