They tend not to describe food as fresh 27 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:24,240 They don't describe it as tasty 28 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,680 They don't describe it as right because the customers in the high-end restaurants expect it to be those things 29 00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:35,039 To be those things in fact in posh restaurants, they tend to use kind of sexy terminology 30 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,840 So if food is sort of sensuous or silky, uh, they use language like that nude 31 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,960 We got a topless chicken and we put it under the grill 32 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,039 This sandwich will wank you off 33 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,479 Oh 34 00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:15,479 Okay moving on 35 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:23,339 In posh restaurants, they use a completely different language and here is the bizarre thing people enjoy their food more with heavy cutlery 36 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:32,199 So there's a guy called charles michelle and he is the chef in residence at oxford university's cross modal research laboratory 37 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:37,879 So what they are researching is how our different senses modulate any appreciation of flavor 38 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,959 And so he gave everybody exactly the same meal and people who used heavy cutlery were willing to pay 15 39 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:51,000 More for their food. It is one of the most bizarre things. Yeah, was there any point when the fork became too heavy? 40 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Because I reckon there is like that is a scale that actually by the time you've got like a garden fork 41 00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:57,879 Yeah 42 00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:04,360 To pay again what you might have done now inadvertently is inspired cheap restaurants to glue their forks to the table 43 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,879 To get the illusion or glue two forks together thereby doubling the weight 44 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,779 One of the ways that restaurants trick you into spending a bit more money do nobody know hypnotism 45 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,800 Would you like the view 46 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,360 I mean, I would I certainly would do it after absolutely.

Yeah, they think it might just be 2.4 amps or something 51 00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:43,560 Our brain kind of doesn't turn that into dollars or pounds if you put 20 52 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:45,480 Dollars, then you suddenly think about the price 53 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,399 But if you just have the number subconsciously we don't think about the cost of things 54 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,439 Has anybody ever been to a restaurant with a lady's menu a lady's a lady's menu 55 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,839 I've never been into the ladies in a restaurant 56 00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:59,639 Are they doing food in there because i'm gonna 57 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,740 I'm gonna start dragging up to go to restaurants 58 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,879 So it's a menu with no prices on whatsoever because the bitch ain't paying because 59 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:23,790 Oh my god 60 00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:29,230 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah or woman or anyone that would get you in trouble 71 00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:20,319 How would you murder somebody with a bread roll gluten intolerant? 72 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,319 Oh 73 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:23,439 Throughout history 74 00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:30,399 The people who make the bread rolls the bakers have been punished severely if they lower the quality of their produce 75 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,800 So it is the bakers who can get into the most trouble 76 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:35,279 So bread has always been a staple food 77 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,800 I mean we've probably as human beings been eating bread for about 30 000 years 78 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,399 If they can't afford it or it's not available there have been riots and french revolution french revolution indeed started by the women 79 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:49,040 In the market over the price of bread. So one way in which to control they've given them the women's menu 80 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,319 So 81 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,439 Just ordered loads of bread and I assume the price is fine. Yes 82 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,560 One of the ways in which you can control it and indeed the bakers is to form guilds 83 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:06,639 So one of the earliest ones that we know about is the collegium pistorum, which was formed in rome 84 00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:10,000 And we're talking about 168 bc. I mean a very very long time ago 85 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,959 And it gave special privileges to bakers and families sort of guilds guilds. I thought you said gills like fish 86 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,720 It's much more difficult to form gills, I think 87 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:22,319 Really 88 00:08:24,579 --> 00:08:29,139 When do they put the seeds on do they do it before it goes in the oven or just when it's out 89 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,340 They do it one at a time from the other side of the room. It's a great skill 90 00:08:37,779 --> 00:08:40,980 I like when when you've had it there's still seeds left and you just 91 00:08:43,059 --> 00:08:45,059 So what we're saying is you're a messy eater 92 00:08:46,899 --> 00:08:50,529 It hasn't given a plate 93 00:08:50,929 --> 00:08:53,490 You never are some really posh restaurants 94 00:08:53,490 --> 00:08:56,690 They just put the roll in front of you and you start looking for a side plate 95 00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:59,970 Why do they offer you from a basket?

Why because of the ribena wars of 18th 175 00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:44,590 Oh 176 00:14:48,269 --> 00:14:53,309 The american logging industry had a campaign is that like the lake district logging industry 177 00:14:55,629 --> 00:15:03,909 Referring to the voluminous fecal matter i'm pretty sure I saw voluminous fecal matter at hammersmith odion in 1974 178 00:15:06,289 --> 00:15:13,330 The american logging industry absolutely loathes the ribes plant because it has a disease that can threaten the white pine 179 00:15:13,409 --> 00:15:18,210 And so blackcurrant was banned in the united states. In fact, the federal ban was only relaxed in 2003 180 00:15:18,210 --> 00:15:22,370 It is still illegal in some states to grow blackcurrants. So the americans have never had ribena 181 00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:25,809 They don't care for it. That explains a lot. It does doesn't it? 182 00:15:26,450 --> 00:15:30,690 Um did rationing help or hinder the health of the population? 183 00:15:31,169 --> 00:15:35,330 I thought it helped him. It did help it did help. In fact infant mortality rates 184 00:15:35,710 --> 00:15:42,529 Halved between 1935 and 1950 and the age at which people died of natural causes that actually increased 185 00:15:42,850 --> 00:15:44,850 um rationing was still going on when 186 00:15:44,929 --> 00:15:52,049 The then princess elizabeth married in 1947 and she had to use clothing ration coupons in order to pay for her dress 187 00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:57,409 When they brought in clothing coupons, they weren't ready. So they repurposed margarine coupons 188 00:15:58,929 --> 00:16:03,409 Uh this cake which was the wedding cake was called the 10 000 mile cake. Why was it called that? 189 00:16:03,889 --> 00:16:09,350 Did it travel a long way? You are right. The ingredients came from south africa and australia 190 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:14,490 They were in fact donated in fact, we have the recipe for the 10 000 miles made of wombats and koalas 191 00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:17,830 Shall we ever look at the recipe? 192 00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:20,470 This is the recipe for a 10 000 in case anybody wants to make it at home there 193 00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:24,070 We are 60 pounds of butter 55 pounds of sugar 75 pounds of flour 194 00:16:24,690 --> 00:16:29,029 668 80 oranges and lemons 300 pounds of dried nuts 195 00:16:29,909 --> 00:16:32,230 Three and a half gallons of navy rum 196 00:16:37,379 --> 00:16:39,620 Or as I call that list last thursday 197 00:16:40,179 --> 00:16:44,100 Thursday 198 00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:49,059 I think probably not because the war only took place. It was all overseas but it was a way fixture that war 199 00:16:49,139 --> 00:16:52,820 Yeah, it was avoided actually until 1918. Uh, so 200 00:16:54,419 --> 00:16:57,220 If you look at the picture list, it said france brackets away. Yeah 201 00:17:00,259 --> 00:17:04,660 The german submarines created a blockade so 1918 and that did lead to food shortages 202 00:17:04,660 --> 00:17:10,019 But the countermeasures are so wonderfully british. Uh, first of all feeding pigeons was banned 203 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:16,759 And then they limited restaurant meals to two courses for lunch and three courses for dinner 204 00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:22,500 How many were they having before I don't know I encourage people to eat out 205 00:17:23,299 --> 00:17:26,579 In the second world war because it was a more efficient use of resources 206 00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:31,700 To make lots of food and then lots of people come and eat it all up rather than ever making individual meals 207 00:17:32,019 --> 00:17:38,339 Yeah, uh right bread and potatoes were rationed after the war not because of the nazis but because of the weather 208 00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:40,420 Right bread away 209 00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:42,980 Why is my cellar riddled with frenchmen? 210 00:17:45,619 --> 00:17:47,619 That's a for your own conscience really 211 00:17:49,460 --> 00:17:52,180 How's the june finnegan tribute painting 212 00:17:58,609 --> 00:18:00,609 A wardrobe malfunction 213 00:18:02,369 --> 00:18:04,849 Where the man's trousers are gone at the bottom of the picture 214 00:18:05,809 --> 00:18:08,769 The bloke at the bottom is just on a stag night and he's been caught up in the war. Yeah 215 00:18:09,730 --> 00:18:15,809 I don't know what the painting is. Is this french revolution? Well, it's actually not it's the july revolution of 1830 216 00:18:16,049 --> 00:18:19,009 Oh, they're always having revolutions. I don't know why the woman had to have a top off 217 00:18:21,569 --> 00:18:26,130 You know what it is is to get you interested so it's like you learn something once you're looking at the painting 218 00:18:26,130 --> 00:18:31,809 But you looked for the boobs. It was just that they were like we're interested in dependence, but can you sex it up? 219 00:18:34,609 --> 00:18:37,490 Yes, do you want to be free what if I got my tits out? 220 00:18:38,930 --> 00:18:44,450 I think maybe the little boy has shot her bra strap off. I think we've we've all done it as kids 221 00:18:46,849 --> 00:18:51,490 Why is my cellar riddled with frenchmen is it to do with wine it is to do with wine 222 00:18:51,490 --> 00:18:54,529 What do you think it's to do with? Oh, that's as much i've got. Oh, you're just 223 00:18:55,809 --> 00:18:57,970 In the cellar, so i'm basically hoping to build on that 224 00:18:58,769 --> 00:19:05,170 So a riddler is the person whose job it is to rotate bottles of wine now, why might they do that? 225 00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:12,930 Why might the sediment yeah, it is exactly that so it's essential particularly to probably the most famous french wine of all champagne champagne 226 00:19:13,009 --> 00:19:16,369 Absolutely, so it requires a secondary fermentation. So the yeast 227 00:19:16,930 --> 00:19:19,650 From the fermenting process is left in the bottle as the wine mature 228 00:19:19,650 --> 00:19:25,410 It's what makes the bubbles appear but nobody wants to buy a bottle of wine with bits of yeast sediment in it 229 00:19:25,410 --> 00:19:30,130 So they have to be slowly removed. So what they do is I happen to have 230 00:19:30,609 --> 00:19:31,809 That 231 00:19:31,809 --> 00:19:34,930 So you have to get the yeast to the neck of the bottle 232 00:19:34,930 --> 00:19:37,650 You have to imagine that there's all this sediment in the bottle like this you see 233 00:19:37,970 --> 00:19:41,329 And so what the riddler does first of all is that they rotate each bottle 234 00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:47,809 90 degrees and then they push it slightly further into its cradle and they tip it slightly and that makes the sediment go down 235 00:19:48,130 --> 00:19:52,769 Into the neck and professional riddlers can turn and tilt 236 00:19:53,950 --> 00:19:56,690 40,000 to 70,000 bottles a day 237 00:19:57,250 --> 00:20:01,250 They do about three or four per second. In fact, I think we can see some on a video 238 00:20:02,210 --> 00:20:04,450 I mean, he just looks like a terrible date doesn't he? 239 00:20:06,849 --> 00:20:11,809 That's his actual job that's his actual job unfortunately they are now being replaced by robots known as 240 00:20:13,410 --> 00:20:16,289 Like all of us, I know who can do the job much quicker 241 00:20:16,930 --> 00:20:21,009 But he might be able to do something more interesting with his life. I think something's wrong with his life 242 00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:27,720 Just like do do not come near me 243 00:20:36,019 --> 00:20:39,140 What should do and this is one of them there is a real skill in it 244 00:20:39,299 --> 00:20:42,819 This is made of strength and glass. Um before that it was a very explosive process 245 00:20:42,819 --> 00:20:49,140 So in 1792, uh, the canon of reams cathedral reported that 345 out of 246 00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:54,099 594 bottles had exploded in their cellars. Well, that's their version of things 247 00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:57,799 Nose of the champagne just explodes 248 00:20:58,980 --> 00:21:03,619 And that's also what the mess is in here. Yeah, the riddler is absolutely slaughtered the whole time 249 00:21:03,779 --> 00:21:08,500 I was a hundred of them blew up. Yeah, but not many explode some of them just go in your mouth 250 00:21:11,059 --> 00:21:14,900 The pressure in here is three times that of a car time and the cork can fly out 251 00:21:14,980 --> 00:21:18,180 Like have a guess the speed of the car. I'll just i'll just get out of the way. No, sir. I haven't taken the 252 00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:25,460 800 miles an hour 8 000 8 000 8 million 8 million 253 00:21:27,859 --> 00:21:31,539 Okay, oh is it less than that is it 55 miles an hour 254 00:21:34,259 --> 00:21:38,099 Oh, that's obvious about the speed of an average van 255 00:21:39,779 --> 00:21:44,259 So this bit around the top of the bottle is called the mousselet. It's the french word for muzzle 256 00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:49,380 Oh, yeah, but it sounds so much more chic. Anyway, um initially in the first fermentation 257 00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:50,500 They don't have a cork in it 258 00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:53,380 They have a cap and i'm going to open it in a rather spectacular way in a minute 259 00:21:53,380 --> 00:21:56,019 It's like being in a kitchen as a student. Has that got a fag putt in it? 260 00:21:58,259 --> 00:22:03,220 But my favorite way to open a champagne bottle is with a sword 261 00:22:04,579 --> 00:22:06,019 Indeed 262 00:22:06,019 --> 00:22:10,500 Uh, so I would like to introduce you, uh to someone who can do just that 263 00:22:11,539 --> 00:22:13,539 julian the magnificent 264 00:22:14,819 --> 00:22:26,259 All right, you are a member of la confrida sabrador, is that right? 265 00:22:26,339 --> 00:22:30,819 I am you have indeed and i'm the ambassador emeritus.

Yeah 278 00:23:20,579 --> 00:23:24,180 The reason we were the night at the studio and sandy tuxford lost her hand 279 00:23:25,619 --> 00:23:33,680 Really clear you're not going to extract the cork. You're actually going to I shall remove the glass annulus and the cork together 280 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:39,119 Okay, should you are you okay to stand close? Um, no problem at all because i'm going to be shooting it over there. Okay? 281 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,480 Okay 282 00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:51,519 Do not try this at home 283 00:23:53,039 --> 00:24:02,819 Off we go 284 00:24:06,099 --> 00:24:08,099 Don't touch the top because that's sharp 285 00:24:08,099 --> 00:24:12,660 Obviously, but you could drink that you could drink that perfectly because no glass will go inside 286 00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:16,900 As you quite rightly said earlier, the pressure is about five times actually 287 00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:19,700 Okay, and it will just shoot any glass away 288 00:24:19,940 --> 00:24:21,859 Right. I mean this is why you hire julian the magnet 289 00:24:23,220 --> 00:24:26,019 Is there like an evening course you can go on to learn how to do it 290 00:24:26,740 --> 00:24:28,819 Can I learn how to do it? You can indeed? Okay 291 00:24:29,859 --> 00:24:31,859 It takes three seconds 292 00:24:43,410 --> 00:24:47,650 Take that in your left hand in my left hand. Yes with your thumb up the punt thumb up the punt 293 00:24:48,210 --> 00:24:51,940 The first time 294 00:24:53,539 --> 00:24:55,539 Champagne oh, it's quite heavy 295 00:24:56,019 --> 00:24:59,859 Yeah, right now the art of sabrage. Yeah, you never take the blade off the glass 296 00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:03,940 No, it's a shaving motion. You go straight up there and follow through don't stop 297 00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:08,660 Right and take the glass annulus and the cork with it with the sword in this never take the blade off the glass 298 00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:13,059 Okay, the straighter you get it. Can you hold the bottle as well? I'll do that for you. Why not? Okay off we go 299 00:25:13,059 --> 00:25:27,730 That's terrifying. Oh my god 300 00:25:32,930 --> 00:25:34,930 Nobleman 301 00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:58,180 Put a little velvet bag 302 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,200 It is the most fun you'll have with all your clothes on 303 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:26,660 Very cool. There's the one you cut. Let's look at the cleanliness of that. I'm gonna put it in this little bag 304 00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:28,980 It's like a scene from killing eve 305 00:26:31,779 --> 00:26:33,779 It was brutal 306 00:26:33,779 --> 00:26:37,460 I i'm not exaggerating. That is one of the most exciting things that's ever 307 00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:51,000 Fast forward to three years time top big outside of tescos with a swiss army knife and a bottle of diamond 308 00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:11,720 Champagne sellers are riddled with riddlers, although it's nothing to whine about 309 00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:20,559 Or a question about the uses of rice 310 00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:25,730 Who's that? Which one of you? No, i'm really sorry 311 00:27:27,569 --> 00:27:29,569 Yeah, yeah, all right 312 00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:31,890 Yeah, hello 313 00:27:31,970 --> 00:27:33,970 Yeah, i'm doing yes 314 00:27:34,049 --> 00:27:39,650 No, she's here. She's here. Yes. It's the danish ambassador. He wants to know where you left the key the herring fridge 315 00:27:42,690 --> 00:27:47,779 The danish ambassador look at who says on there it says piers morgan 316 00:27:48,740 --> 00:28:02,079 Okay, because i'll put it in a box of rice and let it dry out because that's a good idea, isn't it 317 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,039 Is that a trick question? It's up to you making it now chef. Yeah. Yes 318 00:28:12,309 --> 00:28:13,990 Making it now chef 319 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:17,680 No 320 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,680 That because they're in the rice absorbs the water 321 00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:23,200 Yeah, so here's the thing you're telling us that's not really a thing 322 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:29,440 Well, if you put a phone in a closed container with rice less water is lost than if you just left it out in 323 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,440 an open room 324 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Because I had this I put my phone in the rice 325 00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:38,000 Yeah, and then my wife and I could not agree on whether to seal it in or not 326 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,440 Well, don't put it in the rice at all 327 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,839 It's the thing because it will also get little bits of rice stuck up, you know the charging port 328 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,400 If you do put wet phone into rice, it's going to survive if it does survive it would have done anyway 329 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,839 So who's the first person who said oh don't worry about that. I'll pop it in some rice. It was an asshole 330 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,960 The only redeeming feature of the so-called rice cure is that you're usually told to turn the phone off before you 331 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:06,400 Put it into the rice and that is a good idea because the heat of the phone can cause the water 332 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:12,400 To warp the wet compartments. So basically that is a good idea. Also don't blow it with a hairdryer very very bad idea 333 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:16,400 I'm hearing a lot of don'ts.

They thought the plastic ones were better 422 00:36:38,690 --> 00:36:43,010 People thought that wood has these little grooves and bacteria would go in there and live and multiply 423 00:36:43,409 --> 00:36:46,769 But then they actually found that plastic was much worse. Can I tell you why I know this? 424 00:36:46,849 --> 00:36:50,050 Yes, because an ex-boyfriend bought me a chopping board for christmas 425 00:36:51,409 --> 00:36:55,409 Part of the reason it was a good present was him explaining that actually it was good for bacteria 426 00:36:56,849 --> 00:36:58,849 Box a day his head was on it 427 00:37:00,690 --> 00:37:06,210 99.9 percent of the bacteria that is added to a wooden chopping board has disappeared within three minutes of application 428 00:37:06,530 --> 00:37:09,170 And on plastic ones, it's all still there 429 00:37:09,409 --> 00:37:12,050 I mean the only good thing about the plastic ones is you can put them in the dishwasher 430 00:37:12,369 --> 00:37:13,969 You can heat them up, which is good 431 00:37:13,969 --> 00:37:17,889 But the most important thing of course is to wash them and then replace them when they get a bit knackered 432 00:37:17,969 --> 00:37:20,050 But again, eventually we're all gonna die count 433 00:37:23,780 --> 00:37:26,900 That's fair point actually yeah, yeah i'm gonna give you an extra point for that 434 00:37:29,619 --> 00:37:33,480 Which is the hottest part of a chili seeds 435 00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:43,730 It's not seeds, what is it be careful if you've just chopped it and then you go for a wee that's all 436 00:37:43,809 --> 00:37:45,809 Oh, yeah 437 00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:51,650 So it's not seeds anybody know which bit it might be is it the bit that holds the seeds in it's the pith 438 00:37:51,730 --> 00:37:55,090 The pith is the pith.
