I feel like Lali was the wrong choice for the most expensive curry 😅 Seema would at least have been able to compare all 3 curries at the different price points
Agree. What a waste. Didn’t get any value add comments from her tasting as she’s never tried any of the ingredients. Just had no idea. Should’ve kept Seema on. Didn’t want to hate but a wasted opportunity. Should’ve switched them around.
As a British South Asian I'd have much preferred Seema's opinion on the expensive dish than someone who just visited India a few times and has apparently never eaten food before.
Wrong brother, I thought that at first but then met lolly she is more real. I’m from sri lanka and we never eat lobster or caviar. Morel more like Lessel! Can’t speak for the Indians but having someone like lolly is way more realistic than having a Chef try it
Same here. This should be a challenge to include ingredients that improve the dish only. Lobster is great but gold tastes of nothing. You can gold plate a salad sandwich and call it a £500.00 dish - makes no sense and adds nothing. That is why Salt Bae is bankrupting everywhere. You can go for a nice inexpensive Sunday Lunch in the UK and the waiting staff will be carving meats and then visit Salt Bae where the waiter taps a knife on meat adding nothing to service or dish - literally everyone can do it and the meat is gold plated for no reason.
Kinda of a flop. Not mean to be elitest, but i think she would be a perfect guest for the 2 first dishes and the guest for the first 2 do the last one. I think she (the first guest) would trully appreciate the flavours involved.
She was just an idiot. Everyone I know would have more idea anout food/ Indian food than her. I don't know many that would eat chicken tikka masala either to be honest.
Exactly. It's just the way to get yourself into the newspaper and get your name out there. It works with burgers too, I'm told. Even better if you can get a few fictitious City boys to blow $60K on the most expensive wines, and publish the receipt. This modus operandi has worked for for the last 30 years, so don't give it up. Nobody spends £1K on a curry. They might spend £200 on a curry, and £200 on alcohol, but that's about it. Never been to Tayyab's, but I expect it is 'okay'. I've been to the Veeraswamy twice, and it was quite mediocre, just turning the latest food trends into 'curry' (hint, go at lunchtime and order a Thali, but don't go in the evening).
Great response Sonny, to Laura's comment about there not being a place for chicken tikka masala. As a 2nd gen chinese, and as someone who works part time in a small chinese takeout restaurant, I've seen both westerners and "traditional" chinese people come and enjoy the food our restaurant makes. I myself love certain westernised dishes. There is ALWAYS a reason why certain foods are the way they are, and if anyone thinks they're superior because they prefer "traditional" food, they're just delusional. Food doesn't happen in a vacuum, rather it's a reflection of culture and people, and people and cultures change with time and space. It's great. New flavours come into existence and now there is MORE to enjoy in this world. Isn't that incredible? Seema was a great guest to have, very personable and knowledgable. And I always appreciate people who have manners and I loved her gesture of serving Sonny before herself.
so well said! the history of immigration, and often the practice of hiring cheap labour, cannot be removed from the evolution of most "westernized" asian food which has had to adjust to what is available or preferred in a new country.
True, for me the essence of Indian cuisine is having hearty meal while keeping it affordable. Making it as pricy as possible just make it lose its "homemade" feeling to it
I think you should have brought Chef Seema to the expensive dinner to really understand something so exclusive and complex as this dish was, Nora would have been more comfortable with the first two restaurants
A dog turd is going to be expensive if you put caviar, and truffles on it and the gold is just stupid. Every one of these expensive dishes Sonny eats has basically the same stuff on them because that is how you make a dish expensive.
and even then, it's not anywhere near 1000 bucks lol. The dish he made, in the end, is maybe worth 75 bucks lol. The prizes he shows are per lb or per kilo etc. you dont eat 2 lbs of everything on that plate, and even if you did, it would be still less, minus the caviar.
The second host made me feel like the £1000 curry was a waste of money . I felt that she would have been better reviewing the cheaper options since they were more similar to what she already had tried . Seema would be able to break down the complexities of the pricier curry better since she’s well versed in the cuisine
@@potatopoii2720 Still, recipes to chefs can be like jokes to comedians. You just don't share. I do agree that they could have made an expensive - if not 1000 pounds - curry using other things besides gold leaf, the most useless of 'ingredients' and truffles, one of the most over-hyped ingredients.
The YMCA curry was the most authentic Indian curry. The £1000 lobster has nothing Indian about it barring a few Indian spices. Glad to see you chose the best. ❤
Seema should have been the guest at the last , most expensive tasting. Shes really sweet and her descriptions of foods is great. I love your videos as always Sonny. 💕💕💕💕 but last guest Lali was disappointing, thats just my opinion
14:48 I'm gonna be blunt and say that's not curry the soul of the curry is that the protein soaks it's flavour into the sauce. It's just lobster with sauce please don't call it curry😑
And yeah you can make a 1000 pound curry without relying on classical expensive ingredients like caviar etc. There's old royal recipes that made curries with premium ingredients like sandalwood coals,saffron paste etc.. I'd like to see one real curry made with those not some fine done style meat with sauce and toppings that'd never be curry in a thousand years
You know whats so funny to me that most curry houses in London serve Indian curries but most of the chefs are from Bangladesh. I love going to authentic Bangladeshi restaurants.
I think Lali should stick with "chips in a BaskIt" and beans on toast....."Explores culture"🤣🤣🤣 Seema, thanks for showing Sonny and of course the rest of us, some lovely food. 🦘🦘🦘
The guy saying it is difficult to find Indian food in London… my brother in Christ, London has 8,000 Indian restaurants. If you can’t find a good one, it’s a skill issue. And yes, I do mean Indian, not just British-Indian. Ridiculous, ridiculous comment.
Atul Kochar is a legend. I had the honour and pleasure of working with him on a Luxury Hotel Group project. His combination of traditional Indian Cuisine with a modern approach is sensational. Atul is my preferred choice in London when it comes to Modern Indian interpretation.
Morel mushrooms grow wild in VA. They’re hard to find but if you’re lucky enough to know what to look for they’re just divine!! My father in law had a secret spot that he wouldn’t share with anybody that he would go gather them up and cook them for the whole family!! He passed away with his secret 😢❤
Mushroom hunting is big in Missouri, specifically morel mushrooms. My husband hates mushrooms so we’ve never gone but it’s big with our friends from March to May.
Don’t know why you didn’t take Seem to the most expensive restaurant? Like she would have actually been able to talk about the food, the flavours, the spices, the techniques, but instead you took someone who apparently doesn’t know what food is. Doesn’t make sense. Not your best work Sonny, disappointed.
What's being missed here in regards to chicken tikka masala and what was sort of myopic in regards to Laura's part is that you can always add more spices to it. Yes, the basic version of it is leaning heavily on the tomato aspect of it and being very creamy, typical of a British dish, but it can always be up scaled by adding more spice and herbs as desired like really any other type of curry, which is thing about curries--they're an exceptionally versatile type of dish.
Yes if you're making it at home. Ordering it somewhere though, they can only adapt it so much because the spices don't really take well in the ~15 minutes time to prep after the order comes in. Really once you add some more spices it's effectively a different BIR curry like a ~Madras.
@@STirZ_RockCityUgthere are whole boroughs of London that are 90%+ Indian - Southall. Street signs are in Indian, Indian is first language there, there is statistically 0% white British living there. If you cannot get an authentic Indian there, you can’t in India itself.
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 yes I know, there are loads of languages and hundreds of dialects. I am unable to identify the exact languages spoken I’m afraid. Most likely Hindi in Southall I guess.
Given how the vast majority of the curry houses in the UK are owned by Bangladeshis/Bangladeshi descendants and given the important role they played in driving up this food culture, atleast a shout to Bangladeshi cuisine would have been appreciated.
Paratha in Trinidad and Tobago is called "buss - up -shut", slang for "busted up shirt" because of its resemblance to a torn up shirt. Another slang name is "Hulk" after how Bruce Banner's shirt looks after he transforms into the Hulk (the 70's Hulk tv series was a big hit in Trinidad and Tobago)
How come Lali was chosen over Seema? Seema could have provided a better insight on the 1000 pound curry, I feel Lali's palate was not up for the challenge.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
There are many dozens of great hard working authentic Indian restaurants all over London lol. No idea what the uncle is talking about @1:40 - Also you can get a lot of chicken tikka masala that is spicy, with a lot of aromatics. This chef just didn't.
Ye seems BS what they said. I know many people that love authentic indian currys, and love spice. So no idea where this man is coming from. Maybe trying to get people to his place xD
I think he means getting good Indian meals for the same price because they get subsidised so they can keep the prices low. No way can you get a high quality home made Indian with the sides for less than £9 in London. You are lucky to get large chips for that now!
@@SD-oi9gr I don't think the youtuber is being intentionally deceptive, I'll be generous, but London really is the worse place to talk about cost in relation to the rest of the country, he would probably be shocked if he ventured out even slightly north at how much of a bubble that city really is. Not even from a political perspective or anything because I'm sure even Londoners will admit the disparity, I'm not surprised in the slightest the food is being subsidised. As ever in a lot of cases with most countries the capitol cities these days are very different form the rest of the country, I save so much money cooking for myself generally it's pretty ridiculous how much even in the north they're charging now.
I love you, Sonny! Your humor and humanity shine in each and every episode! As long as you continue making these amazing videos, you have a lifelong fan in me!
How are indian restaurants bland in comparison to this one? You can find every curry ranging in spices at those restaurants 😂 also a lot of English people I've come into contact with actually prefer the hotter side of curries. Lool
Uk Indian cuisine is 10x hotter than in Europe. You have to get vindaloo or above in Europe to even feel the faintest tingle of spice. Most brits love spice.
Hey Sonny, just a heads up, you used a slur word at 8:54/55 seconds. The P word is very offensive to those of Pakistani /asian heritage here in the UK (Its a long history!). You may wish to amend that part. Otherwise, love your content as always
Lol there's no difference between butter chicken of Punjab to chicken tikka masala except for boneless chicken 😂😂😂. Simply Relabeled is not an invention.
Its kind of nice seeing how everyone can come together and laugh at British food. In most food channels I hear people say native British food is bland, but luckily its neighbors (French, Italy) and Asian cultures influence came to its the rescue.
It wasn't 89 years because The East India Company was there for over 200 years before and they had captured multiple areas of India. They were also connected to the British Crown and government they were just allowed to operate outside of the laws and pay tribute.
ITS NOT ABOUT HOW HOT SPICY IT IS ITS ABOUT TASTE OF SPICES, PORTUGESE BROUGHT CHILI INTO INDIA , WE DONT LIKE CHILI , WE MAKE OUR FOOD FULL OF TASTY SPICES NOT HEAT WAVERING CHILI🌶🌶 SPICES , ACTUALLY TO DESCRIBE BETWEEN MASALA AND CHILI 🌶 🌶 THERE IS NO ENGLISH WORD, EARLIER TO MAKE OUR DISH HEAT WAVERING WE USED CLOVES AND PEPPERS
I grew up my whole life eating Morels, but I live in the country, semi-southern USA, and we called them Dry Land Fish. My grandmother and my mom would bread them and fry them in out, I don't know what else they added. Anyway, I could sit and eat a whole plate of then haha. Until I became disabled, one of my favorite things to do was, get a satchel, and head deep into the mountains (We were covered by the mountains and we used to be called hill people way in the way back, but it eventually changed to Hillbilly) and hunt these. Sometimes you may only find a few, sometimes you could bring 50 home. Great episode!
Yeah, I moved to Tennessee when I was a kid after Hurricane Katrina. My step-dad used to get them from a man he worked with, and he would fry them. There was never enough to go around lol. I wish I knew where to get some now.
@@HUYI1 bud if u think that was flirting u gotta get a partner asap, besides he literally has a wife and it was probably her filming it like in most his videos
The last guest was just someone Sonny found off the streets, you can tell she knows nothing about food and culture from India. I believe she is lying when she says she visited India six times. You can tell by her eyes that she is a liar deep down.
It took a few years from landing to ridding the place of the Mughal empire. British empire replaced Islam empire. The work was only completed in the 1800s. Probably was 89 years that British had full control.
As a Londoner I feel a little disappointed with the UK season so far. I feel that it’s kinda stereotypical, surface level and boring. I feel that the UK has more to offer and more diversity than this. In Ilford you can get Biriyani for £2.50. I would be interested in him visiting the Pimms factory or a Gin factory, seeing how black pudding is made. Crumpets, trackle tart, trifle.
I've been to London it was great but your food was made for older peoples pallets it has no flavor always blan and came from the fact that without refrigeration cured and packed foods were common
The $1k curry was a disappointment. The chef went with the old standbys of caviar, truffles, and edible gold to increase the perceived value, but it was nothing special at all.
I loved her addition to the review. really shows what a scam most expensive food is. caviar is salty? ok shake some salt on the dish and save you 200 dollars lol
F that YMCA guy saying all British-Indian restaurant food is bland. Loads of Indian and Bangladeshi Tandoori in the UK cook more traditional dishes, gone are the days of British curry houses only selling plain Naan, Poppadums, Tikka Masala, Korma, Madras and Vindaloo. You can get way more traditional Indian like Chaat, Daal, Butter Chicken, Panipuri, Palak Paneer, Pakora and the spiciest curry in the world Phaal plus much more. He just thinks his curries are better than any restaurant, what an arrogant git!
You do realise that all those dishes that you mentioned are not everyday Indian food? Nobody eats Chaat or Butter Chicken or Panipuri everyday lol that's only when we go out. Everyday Indian food is very different from restaurant Indian food.
While every restaurant's chicken tikka masala is different, there is usually some sort of cream or coconut cream in the sauce to make it more of a creamy sauce, which that place didn't seem to use for some reason...so what you had is maybe not so representative of the average British chicken tikka masala...
As a Londoner who has lived here all my life, this was a really exceptional look at the types of curry in the UK. I’d never even heard of the Indian student YMCA before so that was very interesting
I noticed Indians speaking English who was raised in England doesn’t shake their head, like people who was born in India, when they speak English they normally shake their head when they speak. ❤

Thank you so much for having me Sonny!!! Ill have to take you to my mums next time for some real home made Indian food :)
Got room for another i bet it is amazing 😁

Thanks for saying that. I'm so stumped by their choices for when to put subtitles
Reminds me of that Australian comedy sketch of interview with Iraqi insurgents’ subtitles
they were detecting a bit of an accent xD
@@Hasan-zs7jssame here
I feel like Lali was the wrong choice for the most expensive curry 😅 Seema would at least have been able to compare all 3 curries at the different price points
My exact same feelings....
Agree. What a waste. Didn’t get any value add comments from her tasting as she’s never tried any of the ingredients. Just had no idea. Should’ve kept Seema on. Didn’t want to hate but a wasted opportunity. Should’ve switched them around.
Agreed , totally should have taken @seemaPankhania1
My thoughts exactly.. what a waste of food on this person..
Agreed. You could sprinkle curry powder on baked beans and tell Lali it was traditional Indian cuisine...
As a British South Asian I'd have much preferred Seema's opinion on the expensive dish than someone who just visited India a few times and has apparently never eaten food before.
As a white-ass native German, I'd have preferred Seema's opinion, too, instead of someone whose palate can only classify caviar as "slimy"
1st thing I thought of....SONNY SHE NEVER ATE SCALLOPS or LOBSTER, what where you thinking.
Damn, should've brought back the other guest for the 1000 pound curry. I think she would've appreciated it more.
Absolutely don’t have this guest again 👎🏻
Wrong brother, I thought that at first but then met lolly she is more real. I’m from sri lanka and we never eat lobster or caviar. Morel more like Lessel! Can’t speak for the Indians but having someone like lolly is way more realistic than having a Chef try it
That’s probably how my parents would react to that dish 😂
Seema was lovely. The second guest whoever her face was more bland than a british masala.
Introducing someone inexperienced to a specific food is enlightening for that person and entertaining for the audience.
I absolutely hate when a chef throws truffle, caviar and gold on a dish and then the exorbitant cost.
The first place would have been my pick.
I think the problem is getting a curry dish to £1000, there are only a few ingredients that will get you there, wago beef being another
@@garethsnaim8174Even if it was half wagu beef it would still be nowhere near $1000 in value my man lol
Despite the current economy, there's still tons of money out there! I also would prefer the first place.

She was just an idiot. Everyone I know would have more idea anout food/ Indian food than her. I don't know many that would eat chicken tikka masala either to be honest.
Word "bland" was used many times, not only the food but the tourist and fan of Indian food, and not actual experienced foodie
Without even watching the video, Lemme guess, Gold flakes, caviar, and truffles make an expensive curry…
always.
Exactly. It's just the way to get yourself into the newspaper and get your name out there. It works with burgers too, I'm told.
Even better if you can get a few fictitious City boys to blow $60K on the most expensive wines, and publish the receipt. This modus operandi has worked for for the last 30 years, so don't give it up.

lol so predictable. gold flakes should be banned because they add nothing beyond price.
£1000 curry without rice/ roti is the real deal breaker!

lobster with beluga caviar is a crime

I think the cheaper ones are more worth eating than that fancy curry
I agree too then eating fancy
I mean he asked him to make one specifically for the video so its not a normal thing.
And it's always the same shit: caviar and gold foil.
True, for me the essence of Indian cuisine is having hearty meal while keeping it affordable. Making it as pricy as possible just make it lose its "homemade" feeling to it

9 months ago I was in London, and tried the curry at Lahore Biryani, also the curry at Melur Restaurant, both on Edgware Road. Cheap, tasty and halal.
Anyone paying these prices for a curry should pay double whatever tax bracket they are in......lol
That curry is at least 1 months rent, I doubt most people would be eating this anytime soon especially with how expensive everything is now

"It is very difficult to get Indian food here in London" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They meant authentic Indian food
@@STirZ_RockCityUgthere are whole boroughs of London that are 90%+ Indian - Southall. Street signs are in Indian, Indian is first language there, there is statistically 0% white British living there. If you cannot get an authentic Indian there, you can’t in India itself.
@@Sparkyparkthere is no language called indian.
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 yes I know, there are loads of languages and hundreds of dialects.
I am unable to identify the exact languages spoken I’m afraid. Most likely Hindi in Southall I guess.
@@STirZ_RockCityUg "I'm indian but can't find any authentic indian food in this country that isn't India"
Given how the vast majority of the curry houses in the UK are owned by Bangladeshis/Bangladeshi descendants and given the important role they played in driving up this food culture, atleast a shout to Bangladeshi cuisine would have been appreciated.
Paratha in Trinidad and Tobago is called "buss - up -shut", slang for "busted up shirt" because of its resemblance to a torn up shirt. Another slang name is "Hulk" after how Bruce Banner's shirt looks after he transforms into the Hulk (the 70's Hulk tv series was a big hit in Trinidad and Tobago)
Really disappointed Sonny didn't have the $1,000 curry with Seema. That Laura chick is quite possibly the worst person to share that meal with...
that Tikka Masala looks great, some places add food colouring which you do not see here
Bloody love this channel. Much love from the UK ❤
How come Lali was chosen over Seema? Seema could have provided a better insight on the 1000 pound curry, I feel Lali's palate was not up for the challenge.
I think she doesn't even know what food is when put in front of her. Useless woman.
17:04 blud snorting it like coke 😂😂😂
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
How
..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
Thanks to Mrs Linda .
She's a licensed broker here in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Linda ) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
19:08 I just spilled my coffee laughing😂😂
The Indian and Chinese are an integral part of modern British culture. Both great examples of true diversity. Integration not adversity.
There are many dozens of great hard working authentic Indian restaurants all over London lol. No idea what the uncle is talking about @1:40 -
Also you can get a lot of chicken tikka masala that is spicy, with a lot of aromatics. This chef just didn't.
Ye seems BS what they said. I know many people that love authentic indian currys, and love spice. So no idea where this man is coming from. Maybe trying to get people to his place xD
I think he means getting good Indian meals for the same price because they get subsidised so they can keep the prices low. No way can you get a high quality home made Indian with the sides for less than £9 in London. You are lucky to get large chips for that now!
@@SD-oi9gr I don't think the youtuber is being intentionally deceptive, I'll be generous, but London really is the worse place to talk about cost in relation to the rest of the country, he would probably be shocked if he ventured out even slightly north at how much of a bubble that city really is. Not even from a political perspective or anything because I'm sure even Londoners will admit the disparity, I'm not surprised in the slightest the food is being subsidised. As ever in a lot of cases with most countries the capitol cities these days are very different form the rest of the country, I save so much money cooking for myself generally it's pretty ridiculous how much even in the north they're charging now.
That last elevated curry looks nothing like a curry. Basically a load of seafood on a bed of sauce.
I love you, Sonny! Your humor and humanity shine in each and every episode! As long as you continue making these amazing videos, you have a lifelong fan in me!
The blokes at the YMCA are great. They obviously care a lot about both the taste and the affordability- and making young people welcome coming over 👍
How are indian restaurants bland in comparison to this one? You can find every curry ranging in spices at those restaurants 😂 also a lot of English people I've come into contact with actually prefer the hotter side of curries. Lool
Uk Indian cuisine is 10x hotter than in Europe.
You have to get vindaloo or above in Europe to even feel the faintest tingle of spice.
Most brits love spice.
They aren't- people that aren't white british find any excuse to dog on the people of the country they came to live on.
Hey Sonny, just a heads up, you used a slur word at 8:54/55 seconds. The P word is very offensive to those of Pakistani /asian heritage here in the UK (Its a long history!). You may wish to amend that part. Otherwise, love your content as always
I agree
RIP to mr Ali Ahmed Aslam the inventor of chicken tikka masala who passed away less than two years ago
Womp womp
Lol there's no difference between butter chicken of Punjab to chicken tikka masala except for boneless chicken 😂😂😂. Simply Relabeled is not an invention.
Its kind of nice seeing how everyone can come together and laugh at British food. In most food channels I hear people say native British food is bland, but luckily its neighbors (French, Italy) and Asian cultures influence came to its the rescue.
Americas main culinary export is diabetes 2.
@@Sparkypark What can I say, Americans food is to die for.
@@Sparkypark And cancer inducing chemicals
"the unlikely world of British curry.".. What? You can't chuck a rock in a British city without hitting an Indian restaurant.
It wasn't 89 years because The East India Company was there for over 200 years before and they had captured multiple areas of India. They were also connected to the British Crown and government they were just allowed to operate outside of the laws and pay tribute.
Bland? The British like it spicy 🌶️ get drunk and order the hottest curry 😂
ITS NOT ABOUT HOW HOT SPICY IT IS ITS ABOUT TASTE OF SPICES, PORTUGESE BROUGHT CHILI INTO INDIA , WE DONT LIKE CHILI , WE MAKE OUR FOOD FULL OF TASTY SPICES NOT HEAT WAVERING CHILI🌶🌶 SPICES , ACTUALLY TO DESCRIBE BETWEEN MASALA AND CHILI 🌶 🌶 THERE IS NO ENGLISH WORD, EARLIER TO MAKE OUR DISH HEAT WAVERING WE USED CLOVES AND PEPPERS
@@kaustubhraizada well everyone likes both hot and spicy, relax lol
@kaustubhraizada why are you shouting? Calm down.
@@kaustubhraizada bruh calm down
Heh, lali 100% indian hai. The way she criticized the food, she is 200% indian.
😂😂😂 kya baat hai
Sonny probably thought he'd gotten a posh English lady to help him with the $1000 dish, but found out she doesn't know much 🤣
Honestly love watching your videos while I eat 👌🏻
Me too 😊😊
Come trinidad... your friend mark weins was here and he loved it...
Not taking Seema to the final restaurant was your biggest fumble ever and I have been watching this channel for years, Minus 500,000 aura points.
BetterHelp must be FILLING sonnys pockets
Some comments regarding the £1000 curry, 'Ingredients cost £20 e.g'. This chef is 2x Michelin star, 2 meals, private dining, and cost to the Channel
I grew up my whole life eating Morels, but I live in the country, semi-southern USA, and we called them Dry Land Fish. My grandmother and my mom would bread them and fry them in out, I don't know what else they added. Anyway, I could sit and eat a whole plate of then haha. Until I became disabled, one of my favorite things to do was, get a satchel, and head deep into the mountains (We were covered by the mountains and we used to be called hill people way in the way back, but it eventually changed to Hillbilly) and hunt these. Sometimes you may only find a few, sometimes you could bring 50 home. Great episode!
what a great experience you've had! i love morels and have never had a whole plate of them, that sounds like a dream come true!
Yeah, I moved to Tennessee when I was a kid after Hurricane Katrina. My step-dad used to get them from a man he worked with, and he would fry them. There was never enough to go around lol. I wish I knew where to get some now.
Love her reactions at the end, So authentic to these high value ingredients!
"you gotta get back on the boat"
one of the best "right moment" jokes i've heard!
The 1000-pound curry is a massive rip-off. Even with the lobster, scallop, truffle, and caviar, that dish should not be more than 200 pounds.
Subtitling native english speakers in England is crazy!
It's not even the hard to understand accent
why? they have dozens of crazy weird accents and dont fully pronounce their words. BO O O WO R = bottle of water
Ever heard a scouser speak?
Tbf the only time I had trouble understanding someone in english it was an old lady in England XD
Indians speak English like they have hot potato in their mouth.
Dude, did you not have the lamb chops at Tayyabs? They are the best!
I agree..misled! You cannot go to Tayyabs without having the chops. To me, that's their best dish by far.
Shocking behaviour!
Bruh chicken tikka masala was a Punjabi traditional food for eons, British just use canned ingredients and less spicy.
Can we have more of Laura pls lol her genuine reaction to experiencing high end food for the first, was refreshing and quite entertaining to watch. ❤
Chicken tikka masala was created in Glasgow, Scotland. 🏴
"How old are you?" 🤣.
He was light flirting with her big time 😂😅😅
@@HUYI1 bud if u think that was flirting u gotta get a partner asap, besides he literally has a wife and it was probably her filming it like in most his videos
Low key crushin' on Seema 😍
The last guest was just someone Sonny found off the streets, you can tell she knows nothing about food and culture from India. I believe she is lying when she says she visited India six times. You can tell by her eyes that she is a liar deep down.
1:31 British ruled India for 190 years(1757-1947) not 89 years.
It took a few years from landing to ridding the place of the Mughal empire. British empire replaced Islam empire. The work was only completed in the 1800s. Probably was 89 years that British had full control.
1757 to 1858 was the British East India Company period. The British government had varying degrees of influence but did not rule directly until 1858.
101 for good luck😊
Chef "A-tool" is pretty fitting for gold, truffles, and caviar on a freaking curry lol
"I'm not trying to colour the garlic, just sweat it". 14:02 - next shot, garlic is browned on the verge of burning!
As a Londoner I feel a little disappointed with the UK season so far. I feel that it’s kinda stereotypical, surface level and boring. I feel that the UK has more to offer and more diversity than this. In Ilford you can get Biriyani for £2.50. I would be interested in him visiting the Pimms factory or a Gin factory, seeing how black pudding is made. Crumpets, trackle tart, trifle.
I've been to London it was great but your food was made for older peoples pallets it has no flavor always blan and came from the fact that without refrigeration cured and packed foods were common
Instead of getting London Ki Lali you should have got someone whose actually Indian and knows something about curry 😂
How can Lali be a foodie and now have any of those foods on the plate. Hard to understand that and have her be a foodie???
The $1k curry was a disappointment. The chef went with the old standbys of caviar, truffles, and edible gold to increase the perceived value, but it was nothing special at all.
British-Indian Breakdown!!
British + Indian = Sun Never Set Empire!!
I loved her addition to the review. really shows what a scam most expensive food is. caviar is salty? ok shake some salt on the dish and save you 200 dollars lol
F that YMCA guy saying all British-Indian restaurant food is bland. Loads of Indian and Bangladeshi Tandoori in the UK cook more traditional dishes, gone are the days of British curry houses only selling plain Naan, Poppadums, Tikka Masala, Korma, Madras and Vindaloo. You can get way more traditional Indian like Chaat, Daal, Butter Chicken, Panipuri, Palak Paneer, Pakora and the spiciest curry in the world Phaal plus much more. He just thinks his curries are better than any restaurant, what an arrogant git!
You do realise that all those dishes that you mentioned are not everyday Indian food? Nobody eats Chaat or Butter Chicken or Panipuri everyday lol that's only when we go out. Everyday Indian food is very different from restaurant Indian food.
While every restaurant's chicken tikka masala is different, there is usually some sort of cream or coconut cream in the sauce to make it more of a creamy sauce, which that place didn't seem to use for some reason...so what you had is maybe not so representative of the average British chicken tikka masala...
As a Londoner who has lived here all my life, this was a really exceptional look at the types of curry in the UK. I’d never even heard of the Indian student YMCA before so that was very interesting
I noticed Indians speaking English who was raised in England doesn’t shake their head, like people who was born in India, when they speak English they normally shake their head when they speak. ❤
Wow, the last guest was not the sharpest tool in the drawer
Yep, she's a literal airhead.
glad i'm not the only one that likes to smell the food.
In England we wouldn't say British Indian. Her skin colour or heritage or religious beliefs is irrelevant. If born here you are British end of.
Finally, a good comment
maybe that's what she identifies as?
