Dang, I found your channel through Josh and Ollies channels. You all doing a review of that "tasteless" store together was absolutely hilarious 🤣 Thanks for making me laugh so hard while life is trying to be nothing but a craphole these days (specially in germany with the stinking politicians we have)
@@jamesverone1244 They mistake "Natural" / "raw" as healthy... They believe by eating this crap it will maintain their life. In the end they go overboard...When instead all they need to do moderate their diet not too many bad things all the time, and you dont have to go crazy eating "super healthy" depriving you of flavor.
Nobody with the brain tips a grocery store that’s the dumbest thing in the world. They’re already marking their food up by 40%. They don’t need a tip. The only people you should tip our restaurant employees waiters and waitresses but they better be literally pulling your chair out for you cleaning your shoes. If they notice there’s a scuff on it that’s the type of service that’s worthy of a tip but most of these moron, kids will walk out there with their cell phone not even listening to your order and having to come back to your table several times because they made mistakes with something as simple as a hamburger french fries and a Coke, this is why nobody deserves tips and by the way, Rob milk is incredible for you. Absolutely incredible raw milk is living milk pasteurized milk is milk that has had all of its benefits killed and destroyed out of it and that’s exactly why people get lactose intolerance, because drinking pasteurized milk You’re left with a lot of lactose that your body can’t process, but raw milk has enzymes in it naturally occurring that break down the lactose in your stomach and make it completely harmless. People with lactose intolerance can actually drink raw milk and have no issues. That’s the funny thing is that milk is incredible for you just not pasteurized milk only RAW Milk .
Often they had to eat food that was frankly going off and the flavouring of the spices etc was to cover up the taste of the rancid meat. Hence the more flavouring the poorer the people. Rich people could eat the unadulterated fresh food and enjoy the real subtle flavour of the meat. Accustomed to eating fresh fish straight out of the North Sea I thought fish from the fishmongers was bad, going off as it had a strong fish flavour. I wasn’t popular with the chef!!
I'm from the southern US. Some of the popular foods here in the US, such as BBQ ribs, started off as food that was enjoyed mostly by lower income households. Lower income households found different ways to make affordable food taste good. Then, when wealthier people tried them, they created higher demand and now the foods that were seen as lower income foods are now way too expensive.
It's deserved. But none of the rich people care, or probably even disagree with their take. They pay more so they don't have to be around the peasants and it's also a status symbol. Probably also not super packed all the time either.

Seriously you guys are so stupid raw milk has incredible health benefits for you and if it wasn’t for big milk industry, trying to keep the health benefits hidden from you by telling you raw milk is dangerous people would understand what it’s capable of raw milk can literally heal all kinds of nutritional issues you can live off of nothing more than milk for several months without any issues. Obviously, you have to intake enough calorie wise but absolutely no problem. People are just too stupid to realize that food is medicine, but pasteurized food or processed.

Erewhon just seems like they put a glossy, modern package of every product being sold there and were like: "well, time to overprice the crap out of this"
Imagine if they would put edible glitter on a gosh-dang smoothie to make it more stylish and they charge you 50$ for that, it's insane if you think about it..
History has shown that just because people are wealthy does not mean they are inherently smart, and are just as likely to fall for snake oil. If anything, they seem to take more pride in buying into the snake oil so long as it's marketed right.
As someone who briefly worked at Erewhon I can confirm even all the employees and managers know how terrible all the food is and are baffled people buy it🤣you do get to see a lot of celebs though but you aren’t allowed to ask for pics
I've worked retail in a celebrity heavy town...we got celebs of all stripes, from the biggest jerk to the nicest guy. But I won't mention names, lest they sue me...😄
I've seen sit down restaurants serve it for that much but usually includes it being warm, with icecream and/or caramel sauce... Just cold in a plastic tray is nuts
Korea series with Uncle Roger PLEAAAAAASE!! His humour level is on par with Ollie, I see Ollie genuinely losing it for the first time, because he's always the funniest guy around. Not this time!
3 things I appreciate: 1) how big of portion of noodles Josh took anticipating that they would not be good. 2) Ollie’s comment: “do rich people not like flavor?” 3) that uncle roger’s alter ego is so dang pleasant 😅
I mean, Josh and Ollie do introduce Asian cruisine mainly Korean food well to people and on the side of British food is less good, they basically one of Uncle roger's favorite cousin
How about the “how to improve on the hot dog” episode? The one with the “hot dong”, aka bull’s penis? It wasn’t the actual meat, which just curled up when cooked, but when Ollie showed him a photo (on his phone) of what it looked like before it was cooked. Then photos of what it looked like as it was boiled. I found one American farm that sells them online (White Oak Pastures in Georgia) for $32.99 plus shipping. Their sales copy is pretty good. “Since we process our livestock on our farm, we have the opportunity to offer the organs, meats, and bones to our customers. Bull penis is certainly among the most unique offerings we have in stock. We will never accumulate a great quantity in these, so get them while you can. Size: Well, does it really matter? Regardless of which side of the fence you are on there, these willies will ship one per pack. As expected, length varies. Cooking: We really don't know. We do know our customers have asked for these, so here they are. Google away, friends.”
I absolutely love how Nigel and Ollie have such a similar laugh and humor so they just laugh at each other. The beginning cracked me up cause of they laughed together
As others have pointed out, raw milk is not pasteurized or homogenized. There were dairies in my area that used to sell it, but they quit about 20 years ago. Since it is not pasteurized, it must be produced under the strictest of sanitation as there is nothing to kill any bacteria that may creep in (that's why it costs so much). Since it is not homogenized, the cream separates and rises to the top so you have to shake it really well before pouring it or, as Uncle Roger found out, that first swig tastes REALLY good as he was just getting a big dose of cream!
Yep, and when it isn't produced under the strictest of sanitation standards someone will very quickly find out why we invented pasteurization in the first place because a bad batch is basically the worst food poisoning you can get.
i don't see why dairy being unpasteurized is a selling point for some people, but I do love eating the cream off pasteurized unhomogenized milk and yogurt
@@vin2164 When I was a kid, I couldn’t drink pasteurised or homogenised milk, for some reason, so we had to buy raw milk. No idea what it is that’s different exactly, but while I was fine drinking raw milk, my body reacted to pasteurised or homogenised milk as if I were lactose intolerant. Not pleasant. Since you couldn’t get raw milk in shops back then (at least not where we lived), we had to buy milk straight from a farm. Because the milk wasn’t homogenised, the cream would rise to the top, and even when shaken well, there would be little blobs of milk fat floating around in it. I absolutely loathed it, and to this day cannot stand cream or milk fat in general. Never been happier than when I discovered as a teenager that I could drink normal milk again.
I remember seeing somewhere a while ago like those home birth, crystal mums being obsessed with raw milk. And a bunch of them were like getting it in really sketchy ways for cheap which is 100% gonna make them sick because according to them pasteurising it takes out all the good stuff. I’m pretty sure they were giving it to their babies too as an alternative to breast milk which is not right at all.
In rural Bavaria you can get it directly from the farmers (they have to label it with "heat before consuming" because of EU law) and it costs like 1 euro for a liter 😅
@@tronicol235as long as they don't mind emptying out their wallets. I get your health is important, but at those prices? They better be "fountain of youth" levels of healthy for me to buy them. Otherwise, I'll go for the farmer's market 5 minutes from my house
the "miracle" behind the noodle is that its a noodle made from a plant that has little to no carbs. So it allows people with celiac or who are following keto to eat similar style noodle dishes without worrying. It became very popular a few years ago as an alternative. The actual name is Shirataki noodles, Miracle Noodle is just a brand name that became the defacto name used when referencing the product since it was the one which gained such wide spread popularity
The miracle is that you can eat a lot of it without gaining weight/having your blood sugar shoot up. It's not for people who actually need the calories, or who hate the digestive effects of the noodles.
The only thing miraculous about those noodles is the amount of money stupid people who follow TikTok trends will pay for them. You can buy the exact same item in any Asian grocery for a fraction of the price.
@@MarkDeSade100 A lot of soba noodles have wheat in them. People with celiac have to be very careful with that. For some people, even the tiniest amount of wheat causes huge health issues.
"It's just like a lemonade, but not fizzy." Josh, that's how ALL American lemonade is. If you find carbonated lemonade in the States, that's an anomaly.
@@MicukoFelton I was shocked when I went abroad for the first time and couldn't find normal, uncarbonated lemonade. And don't get me started on carbonated water. Eugh.
The richest flavour can be seen in street food. The poorer you are, the richer flavour you get with your food 🔥😂🤧 - Uncle Roger, Josh and Ollie, 2023 Can’t agree more! 😆🤧👏🤩
This is obviously true, but mostly because "street food" - especially in the poorest districts of the world - is extremely poor quality, and requires lots of salt, sugar, spice etc to mask the taste of what is frequently spoiling or even "recycled".
As someone who personally loves watching korean englishman/jolly and uncle roger/mrnigelng this is my dream collab (even though they already made a collab before)
There is one near me in my hometown. My son and I walked through there and were absolutely horrified at the prices. Needless to say, we walked straight to the Trader Joe’s down the street. The store is by the studios, so that tells you everything you need to know. If studio people (actors, directors, producers, etc) want to be stupid and spend $20 on a smoothie then that’s on them. This store makes Whole Paycheck look like Dollar General.
I'm from LA. Erewhon probably started with good intensions as a heathy grocery store with products you couldn't find elsewhere. It has always been expensive, but it wasn't until it became trendy that it turned into the official douche bag grocery spot.
What scares me the most is this kind of healthy store is unusual and that expensive in the US. Honestly, every decent city in France has multiple "Bio" groceries with such healthy products 5 times cheaper. I would be scared to live in the US and get forced to eat Walmart chemicals.
I just want to travel and eat food with you all. It's the positive vibes and the contagious laughs. If you ever do a subscriber guest, I volunteer 🙋♂️
Ophora water is from the "Dachstein" region in Austria where I live - it gets filtered a few times, then shipped halfway across the world, and sold for a small fortune. We literally get it for free from the tap. 😂💸 Must be the *exclusive* journey that makes it so special.
Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing a place that sold überexpensive items *_IF_* their quality matched their price tags. *_That_* place however reeks of the classic American "a fool and his money are soon parted" dumbasserry, spiced up with ultra-hipster pretentiousness. Complete and utter garbage. The pizza at effing *Costco* looks far better than that joke of a pizza, and that's already a pretty low bar. Would much rather get a good $4 NY slice, or share a decent Detroit or Chicago pie.
Loved this one guys. One point on the lavender lemonade: when Josh says "and it isn't fizzy"; lemonade in the US is almost never fizzy and is commonly just lemon juice, sugar, and water. What you call lemonade in the UK is closer to what we call something like Sprite or other lemon/lemon-lime sodas.
@@rachelcookie321 No Sprite is just a soda brand here in the usa. Lemonade is a drink made from lemon, sugar and water here in the usa. If you ask for lemonade here you will never be handed a sprite.
@@rachelcookie321Not in the Americas. Lemonades in North and South America are almost never carbonated, and only made with lemon (or lime in central and south America) juice, sugar, and water. As the other guy said. In a LOT of countries in the world, Lemonade isn't a soda.
Watching another jolly episode is my medicine to forget all my worries and sadness for the day. Thank you for always serving such good and fun content, love you guys so much
Interesting look into what goes on at that store and so nice to see Nigel and Uncle Roger again! If you decide to do a trip to Korea with him, I would LIVE for that series!
I suspect that there's a large group of health nuts that associate "clean" "fresh" flavours with healthy. What's the cleanest thing of all? Pure water. What does pure water taste like? Nothing. Hence the healthiest food shouldn't taste anything. Right? :P
think about how diffucult and expensive opening up a grocery chain in todays economy/market would be... not a momnpop place like an official "chain" like EREWHON... my guess ultra wealthy conlogromote who doesn't care and probably has a way to A) still make money with HIGH prices B) doesnt really care cuz its all some scheme to launder money/write off on taxes when the food goes bad idk..
I can get raw milk freshly milked from the cow like 5 minutes from where I live for less than a 10th of the price .. criminal pricing. xD@@giraffesinc.2193
There is a restaurant called the water library in Thailand. They used to have water from all over the world and you can taste test them sort of like wine testing. I thought it was silly, but surprisingly, when we tried fancy water vs cheap bottle water, we really could taste the difference. The cheaper water tasted more bitter and it didn’t go down as smoothly. It was such a weird experience, but you really can tell if you taste them together.
I always forget that the UK calls Sprite and other similar lemony sodas "lemonade". When they were like "it's like lemonade but it's not fizzy" I was like "what?" and then remembered. Here in America, "lemonade" is lemon juice (preferably fresh squeezed)+ water + sugar + ice(usually). Such a strange thing to me but I'm sure they think the same the other way around xD
I Love you Guys and Uncle Roger! With all three of your reactions to that food, heating it up more than likely wouldn’t make it any better! I don’t understand how a store can charge so much for bland food! I Love your videos! God Bless from Caldwell Ohio USA!
@@nickywags0712 I'm not British nor American. I've found British snacks (biscuits and tea (drink) take the cake (pun intended) but America has better cuisine. I tried Taco Bell for the first time yesterday based on a RUclips video and it was nicer than I was guessing it would be (only similar food I've had is homemade mince with nachos) and I have had American foods that weren't sickly sweet.
Hey Josh and Olly, you probably won't read this, but I just wanted to say I am a new big fan of you guys. I discovererd you sometime this year when the highschool series popped up on my feed. And soon I saw more videos, and I was hooked with you guys. First I did not even realize you had two channels. But now I'm following both Jolly and Korean Englishman, and also Gabbie's channel. You guys always bring a smile to my face, and I am craving real Korean food now thanks to you. I tried watching ALL of your videos from the past, starting with the oldest. With Jolly I would say I watched two thirds of your videos now. Korean Englishman I still have a lot more to watch. Keep it going please. And if you happen to read this: Please start a series comparing school lunches from around the world, that would be super fun! See you jolly soon!
Those 2 Asian noodle dishes were both made with Konjac noodles which are meant to be a healthier alternative to regular noodles. That's probably why they didn't taste good because it's diet food. Same with the "pizza".
@@johnnyhaze4605 the point is they are for people who are on a diet or want to be seen to be eating healthy. That's why the pizza wasn't good because there was no pizza dough and the noodles had no sauce or flavor because that's a lot of extra calories. To me diet food and health food in general just doesn't taste good because they are making too many compromises.
“Would you ever consider going Vegan?” Uncle Roger: No, life hard enough. This is what I need to tell my doctor or dietitian friend when they tell me to eat more “healthy”. lol! 😆 Other mentionable quotes: “the more flavor you have in your food, the poorer you are.” Omg! 🤣🤣🤣
3 of my favorite people in one vid! Can't wait for the 3 Amigos Go To Korea! ❤...By The Way, thanks, boys for coming to Louisiana....picked some truly excellent restaurants with exactly the reaction, from Jolly, that I expected.... Laissez les bons temps rouler!🎉🎉🎉
@@rachelcookie321I read it that they meant they could like go out to eat at a decent sushi place with that much money. If you’re just getting something like a grab-and-go sushi yeah it would be cheaper
Given how expensive everything is, I wonder what the store does with produce that is not sold and is close to expire. Organic foods expire quicker and depending on foot traffic, I am pretty sure they won’t sell all their produce.
I used to have to go to this store to buy certain health food items but even back then, things were way too expensive. Once other stores started selling those same products, I was able to get them for cents on the dollar.

@@vin2164 When I was a kid, I couldn’t drink pasteurised or homogenised milk, for some reason, so we had to buy raw milk. No idea what it is that’s different exactly, but while I was fine drinking raw milk, my body reacted to pasteurised or homogenised milk as if I were lactose intolerant. Not pleasant.
Since you couldn’t get raw milk in shops back then (at least not where we lived), we had to buy milk straight from a farm. Because the milk wasn’t homogenised, the cream would rise to the top, and even when shaken well, there would be little blobs of milk fat floating around in it.
I absolutely loathed it, and to this day cannot stand cream or milk fat in general. Never been happier than when I discovered as a teenager that I could drink normal milk again.
I remember seeing somewhere a while ago like those home birth, crystal mums being obsessed with raw milk. And a bunch of them were like getting it in really sketchy ways for cheap which is 100% gonna make them sick because according to them pasteurising it takes out all the good stuff. I’m pretty sure they were giving it to their babies too as an alternative to breast milk which is not right at all.
In rural Bavaria you can get it directly from the farmers (they have to label it with "heat before consuming" because of EU law) and it costs like 1 euro for a liter 😅
Erewhon is basically a store where celebrities shop just because they can and get cute pics with expensive smoothies
💯💯💯
Not exactly true, they have lots of unique and higher quality products for people who care about what they eat
And also avoid us normies who shop at regular stores 😂
@@tronicol235as long as they don't mind emptying out their wallets. I get your health is important, but at those prices? They better be "fountain of youth" levels of healthy for me to buy them. Otherwise, I'll go for the farmer's market 5 minutes from my house
Lol, I've shoipped there over 12 years and I'm not rich by any stretch. The other Erewhon locations just look like a whole foods.
the "miracle" behind the noodle is that its a noodle made from a plant that has little to no carbs. So it allows people with celiac or who are following keto to eat similar style noodle dishes without worrying. It became very popular a few years ago as an alternative. The actual name is Shirataki noodles, Miracle Noodle is just a brand name that became the defacto name used when referencing the product since it was the one which gained such wide spread popularity
There are better noodle options for celiac people already, like rice noodles or soba.
The miracle is that you can eat a lot of it without gaining weight/having your blood sugar shoot up. It's not for people who actually need the calories, or who hate the digestive effects of the noodles.
The only thing miraculous about those noodles is the amount of money stupid people who follow TikTok trends will pay for them. You can buy the exact same item in any Asian grocery for a fraction of the price.
@@MarkDeSade100 A lot of soba noodles have wheat in them. People with celiac have to be very careful with that. For some people, even the tiniest amount of wheat causes huge health issues.
People eat shark and guano but I don’t see anyone trying to imitate those to eat.
I feel high class watching this
This is worse than daylight robbery.
Highway robbery? No scratch that. Inner city robbery, that's right it's a straight up mugging!
"It's just like a lemonade, but not fizzy."
Josh, that's how ALL American lemonade is. If you find carbonated lemonade in the States, that's an anomaly.
For real?? Lemonade is usually always carbonated where I'm from.
@@MicukoFelton can confirm! the only carbonated lemonade i've ever had was like, a specialty drink
@@winterbasiliskor sprite lol
@@MicukoFelton I don't think I've ever had sparkly lemonade lmao it's in stores for sure, but it's highly unpopular here
@@MicukoFelton I was shocked when I went abroad for the first time and couldn't find normal, uncarbonated lemonade. And don't get me started on carbonated water. Eugh.
The richest flavour can be seen in street food. The poorer you are, the richer flavour you get with your food 🔥😂🤧
- Uncle Roger, Josh and Ollie, 2023
Can’t agree more! 😆🤧👏🤩
This is obviously true, but mostly because "street food" - especially in the poorest districts of the world - is extremely poor quality, and requires lots of salt, sugar, spice etc to mask the taste of what is frequently spoiling or even "recycled".
I died here haha
A lot of poverty foods were the cheapest, toughest cuts of meat. Like brisket, oxtail, or tongue. But man they taste good when properly prepared.
Street food is a stupid term. And poor food is just empty calories for the most part
Public Safety Reminder: Chinese street food is cooked with gutter oil. It's worse than it sounds.
As someone who personally loves watching korean englishman/jolly and uncle roger/mrnigelng this is my dream collab (even though they already made a collab before)
There is one near me in my hometown. My son and I walked through there and were absolutely horrified at the prices. Needless to say, we walked straight to the Trader Joe’s down the street. The store is by the studios, so that tells you everything you need to know. If studio people (actors, directors, producers, etc) want to be stupid and spend $20 on a smoothie then that’s on them. This store makes Whole Paycheck look like Dollar General.
Lmao! I've never heard whole foods called whole paycheck. Quite apt! 🤣🤣🤣
If this is the one by the grove on beverly, i remember it was ecpensive but not exorbotant like this one
@@noelsamson876this is probably Culver City. I like that Trader Joe’s (must be the biggest?) but never been inside that Erewhon because husband 😅
You seemed surprised the lemonade wasn't carbonated, but in the U.S. lemonade generally isn't.
In the UK, when you ask for lemonade you will get something fizzy like sprite. :)
in some places, "lemonades" are like sodas.
@@Lord__Emrysthat sounds amazing, I’ve never had a carbonated lemonade. Like the first comment said ever lemonade in the US is flat
I thought the same thing! I’ve never had carbonated lemonade.
@@gameblendingreality You 100% have to try fizzy lemonade at some point.It’s so good.
Never noticed how good-looking Nigel is until now. What a handsome man.
Love the idea that Nigel just keeps the Orange polo poised and ready to go!
Nigel using all the energy he can being Uncle Roger to eviscerate Erewhon.
Ollie tasting the $25 water: "It's almost like it's all bullsh¡t!" Exactly, Ollie, EXACTLY.
Uncle Rodger is the perfect person to bring to bash Erewhon and I haven't even watched this yet
I'm from LA. Erewhon probably started with good intensions as a heathy grocery store with products you couldn't find elsewhere. It has always been expensive, but it wasn't until it became trendy that it turned into the official douche bag grocery spot.
Never heard of it that’s Whole Foods here
@@angrybob8126We used to have "Whole Paycheck" in Augusta, but it went out of business in short order.😂
JD, they went down the road to Douche-baggery for sure 😂
Tale as old as time
What scares me the most is this kind of healthy store is unusual and that expensive in the US. Honestly, every decent city in France has multiple "Bio" groceries with such healthy products 5 times cheaper. I would be scared to live in the US and get forced to eat Walmart chemicals.
I just want to travel and eat food with you all. It's the positive vibes and the contagious laughs. If you ever do a subscriber guest, I volunteer 🙋♂️
Same! They’re the best!
I also volunteer as tribute 🙋🏻♀️ lol
Ditto
I just want a pint or four with them. You know they have some amazing stories.
I volunteer my dad! He's Chinese, a foodie, and sort of weird/creative.
The combo I didn't know I needed! I love you guys with uncle rodger. Good vibe, feels like friends hanging! I love it!
Ophora water is from the "Dachstein" region in Austria where I live - it gets filtered a few times, then shipped halfway across the world, and sold for a small fortune. We literally get it for free from the tap. 😂💸 Must be the *exclusive* journey that makes it so special.
Never thought there would be a supermarket where the pricing makes Whole Foods look like American 7-Eleven meets Dollar Tree.
Stellar comment!!!🎉🎉🎉😂
Lmao 🤣
lol
Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing a place that sold überexpensive items *_IF_* their quality matched their price tags.
*_That_* place however reeks of the classic American "a fool and his money are soon parted" dumbasserry, spiced up with ultra-hipster pretentiousness. Complete and utter garbage.
The pizza at effing *Costco* looks far better than that joke of a pizza, and that's already a pretty low bar. Would much rather get a good $4 NY slice, or share a decent Detroit or Chicago pie.
and whole foods has way better food lol
Loved this one guys. One point on the lavender lemonade: when Josh says "and it isn't fizzy"; lemonade in the US is almost never fizzy and is commonly just lemon juice, sugar, and water. What you call lemonade in the UK is closer to what we call something like Sprite or other lemon/lemon-lime sodas.
You don’t call sprite lemonade?
@@rachelcookie321 No Sprite is just a soda brand here in the usa. Lemonade is a drink made from lemon, sugar and water here in the usa. If you ask for lemonade here you will never be handed a sprite.
@@GuzmanLaBelica but lemonade is a type of soda.
@@rachelcookie321Not in the Americas. Lemonades in North and South America are almost never carbonated, and only made with lemon (or lime in central and south America) juice, sugar, and water. As the other guy said. In a LOT of countries in the world, Lemonade isn't a soda.
True, truer, truest! At least in the good old USA, a fizzy lemonade is not lemonade. It’s 7Up or Sprite.
Ollie and Nigel snickering @ 1:55 is just so cute and funny 😂
Watching another jolly episode is my medicine to forget all my worries and sadness for the day. Thank you for always serving such good and fun content, love you guys so much
2:40 u can see the slight shock in Josh’s face after seeing the price on the receipt before the cut 😂
Ollie: "It tastes like soap water!" Ollie: takes another swig LOL, you guys are the best!!
the prices meet my eyes water omg and ollies reactions to the purple juice is hilarious
Oh my goodness, I never thought I'd enjoy seeing you NOT enjoy foods!!! Hilarious! Love your stuff, y'all...
"i think if there's a zombie apocalypse, nobody is gonna raid this store." 😂
Uncle Roger in Korea is gonna be a whole lot of fun! Cannot wait!
"This looks too healthy" - Uncle Roger 😂😂😂
Interesting look into what goes on at that store and so nice to see Nigel and Uncle Roger again! If you decide to do a trip to Korea with him, I would LIVE for that series!
Josh roasted by Uncle Roger is the funniest thing to see 😂 I'm waiting for this moment Jolly brings Uncle Roger
Uncle Rogers in Korea with Jolly🎉🎊 ...that would fantastic...thanks for this wonderful episode💜...
It’s nice to see the Uncle Roger reunion. 🎉
Always a treat to see them in the States probably my favorite series
The food was so bad Uncle Roger kept getting out of character from the shock 😂😂
The charisma that these guys exude is remarkable.
"If theres a zombie apocalypse nobody gonna raid this store" 😂😂 peak comedy
“The fact the first thing you taste is celery.” Hahahaha!!!
celery overpowers everything though...
@@OlJackBurton celery doesn’t have much of a flavor at all. Even in a mirepoix the flavor is subtle you almost miss it.
Never been to America, but after countless reviews I have seen I'm starting to believe Erewhon is a place where seasoning your food is illegal.
I suspect that there's a large group of health nuts that associate "clean" "fresh" flavours with healthy. What's the cleanest thing of all? Pure water. What does pure water taste like? Nothing. Hence the healthiest food shouldn't taste anything. Right? :P
Where *cooking* your food is illegal. Why must "raw" and "vegan" be on virtually everything? Didn't human invent fire and cooking for a reason?
I'm FROM America and I'll tell you for free you're completely right lol. I grimaced when they said "keto pizza." They were always in for a bad time.
Erewhon is only around the Los Angelas area around 5 in total. Only for rich people with no taste.
It is the MOST expensive total crap! People just go there to be "seen" - like it is cool and It is SO NOT Cool!
KE and Jolly updates in the same day??what have I done to deserve this!!!
😂❤
Doing a Korea tour series with Uncle Roger would break the internet.
@14:44 "if your girlfriend or boyfriend say they like this place, dump them" -Uncle Roger
If Nigel keep it up like this, Uncle Roger is gonna become real and he gonna have double personality disorder 😆
10$ for 1/4 of a pecan pie, that means they sell a whole pie for 40$ by the slice, that is absolute robbery
think about how diffucult and expensive opening up a grocery chain in todays economy/market would be... not a momnpop place like an official "chain" like EREWHON... my guess ultra wealthy conlogromote who doesn't care and probably has a way to A) still make money with HIGH prices B) doesnt really care cuz its all some scheme to launder money/write off on taxes when the food goes bad idk..
Only 2 minutes in and Ollie is shocked at the cost of raw milk. Hilarious considering how much he has spent on spam 😂
🤣😂🤣
I can get raw milk freshly milked from the cow like 5 minutes from where I live for less than a 10th of the price .. criminal pricing. xD@@giraffesinc.2193
who buys raw milk anyway
Better spent on spam (if you know what to do with it) anyway. Because spam musubi is delicious. 🤙
I've never tried spam, but i can almost guarantee it has more flavour than all of these dishes. 😂
There is a restaurant called the water library in Thailand. They used to have water from all over the world and you can taste test them sort of like wine testing. I thought it was silly, but surprisingly, when we tried fancy water vs cheap bottle water, we really could taste the difference. The cheaper water tasted more bitter and it didn’t go down as smoothly. It was such a weird experience, but you really can tell if you taste them together.
I always forget that the UK calls Sprite and other similar lemony sodas "lemonade". When they were like "it's like lemonade but it's not fizzy" I was like "what?" and then remembered. Here in America, "lemonade" is lemon juice (preferably fresh squeezed)+ water + sugar + ice(usually). Such a strange thing to me but I'm sure they think the same the other way around xD
Love Ollie’s facial expressions 😂
you always know what Ollie thinks of anything he's tasting. the face gives it all away.
I love it that you're posting more often again! Love every single one of your videos!
Can't wait for more unk Roger videos. He's so humble, and fun perfectly matches your guys' energy
"If there's a zombie apocalypse, nobody's gonna raid this store"
HAHAHGHAGHAHHAH I CHOKED
9:05 😂😂😂I love how it turn to uncle Roger instantly. The character changed lol 😂
Now Uncle Roger and Jolly in Korea is something that HAS to happen! And also remind me nover to go where you have just been 😂
“If your girlfriend likes this place, dump her.” - Uncle Rodger 😂 Great reunion.
5:32 I think raw when put in front of milk means the milk is unpasteurized which.. you know.. makes the milk not entirely safe to drink
Omg yes please korean tour with uncle roger!! Always fun seeing him in your video. The level of witty and roast of him and ollie is a blessing hahaha
I Love you Guys and Uncle Roger! With all three of your reactions to that food, heating it up more than likely wouldn’t make it any better! I don’t understand how a store can charge so much for bland food! I Love your videos! God Bless from Caldwell Ohio USA!
"Do rich people not like flavor?" Coming from a Brit! 😂😂😂
good British food is excellent. And that’s coming from an American. I’d take a British sausage roll over anything in this video any day
@@nickywags0712I think most people who don’t make a million plus a year would take British food over this bland overpriced crap any day😂😂
@@nickywags0712 I'm not British nor American. I've found British snacks (biscuits and tea (drink) take the cake (pun intended) but America has better cuisine. I tried Taco Bell for the first time yesterday based on a RUclips video and it was nicer than I was guessing it would be (only similar food I've had is homemade mince with nachos) and I have had American foods that weren't sickly sweet.
Love that Uncle Roger himself showed up! 😂
Well you have to remember now Nigel lives in La now.
That "pizza" reminded me of the pizza you'd get from a Lunchable
The Lunchable would still taste better and it DOESN'T COST $15!!!
Hey Josh and Olly, you probably won't read this, but I just wanted to say I am a new big fan of you guys. I discovererd you sometime this year when the highschool series popped up on my feed. And soon I saw more videos, and I was hooked with you guys. First I did not even realize you had two channels. But now I'm following both Jolly and Korean Englishman, and also Gabbie's channel. You guys always bring a smile to my face, and I am craving real Korean food now thanks to you.
I tried watching ALL of your videos from the past, starting with the oldest. With Jolly I would say I watched two thirds of your videos now. Korean Englishman I still have a lot more to watch.
Keep it going please.
And if you happen to read this: Please start a series comparing school lunches from around the world, that would be super fun!
See you jolly soon!
The three of you are so hilarious. I love the way you roast things.
I feel like Nigel and Ollie are on the same wavelength lol
Ah, the small laughter Ollie and Nigel shared...same humour😂
Those 2 Asian noodle dishes were both made with Konjac noodles which are meant to be a healthier alternative to regular noodles. That's probably why they didn't taste good because it's diet food. Same with the "pizza".
i mean they could season it properly, but just like uncle roger said, rich people doesnt like flavor :p
there are so many asian dishes with Konjac noodles.. so that is no excuse.
@@johnnyhaze4605I bet those r much better with just $3
I’ve had Chinese konjac snacks, didn’t know what they were, but found them fine. But they were sticky as heck.
@@johnnyhaze4605 the point is they are for people who are on a diet or want to be seen to be eating healthy. That's why the pizza wasn't good because there was no pizza dough and the noodles had no sauce or flavor because that's a lot of extra calories. To me diet food and health food in general just doesn't taste good because they are making too many compromises.
“Would you ever consider going Vegan?” Uncle Roger: No, life hard enough.
This is what I need to tell my doctor or dietitian friend when they tell me to eat more “healthy”. lol! 😆 Other mentionable quotes: “the more flavor you have in your food, the poorer you are.” Omg! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm here for you 3 on a Korean tasting tour!! Yes!!! Such great episode!!
3 of my favorite people in one vid! Can't wait for the 3 Amigos Go To Korea! ❤...By The Way, thanks, boys for coming to Louisiana....picked some truly excellent restaurants with exactly the reaction, from Jolly, that I expected.... Laissez les bons temps rouler!🎉🎉🎉
My gosh, 19$ for a smoothie. That's more than enough for sushi in my city. Arguably much healthier and more filling, and still worth the dollar.
that is such a ripoff, you can get like 3 milk teas or smoothies for that price, or any food
Thats 1 week food supplies for single person in my country..😂😂😂
Why is sushi so expensive in your city? Here one sushi restaurant chain sells 8 pieces for $5.70. I think the most I’ve probably spent is like $10.
@@rachelcookie321I read it that they meant they could like go out to eat at a decent sushi place with that much money. If you’re just getting something like a grab-and-go sushi yeah it would be cheaper
In my country, $19 will get you 20 portions of rice + gravy + veggies + chicken. I am not even kidding.
Given how expensive everything is, I wonder what the store does with produce that is not sold and is close to expire. Organic foods expire quicker and depending on foot traffic, I am pretty sure they won’t sell all their produce.
They run it over with a waste veggie oil powered steam roller so the poors and homeless can't have it.
I bet they use it in their fresh cooked foods and smoothies just before it's "sell by" date. That makes the most sense.
There are plenty of idiots and idiot celebrities who will shop there, so they don't have to worry about that.
Erewon is always extremely busy
3:32 please ollie you've got some elite humour XD
I love how savage uncle roger when his part apepar😂
I used to have to go to this store to buy certain health food items but even back then, things were way too expensive. Once other stores started selling those same products, I was able to get them for cents on the dollar.
Reminds me of shopping for my celiac arse 15 years ago.
