    To my favourite BFG.
    Thank you so much for letting me be a small part of this channel. I had a great time eating lots of 'lovely' things 😂 I'm very proud of you for doing this as I know how much it pushed you out of your comfort zone.
    If you've inspired even one person to try this themselves then that's a legacy you can be very proud of!
    Here's to not being fed insects, fermented fish or ridiculously hot peanuts again!

      To my favourite Stiv.
      Thank you for being part of my channel and putting up with me feeding you some utter nonsense! I wish we'd got one more video in before the end, but the ones with you in were unquestionably the most fun! 🥰
      Next time you visit, I will just feed you some nice, normal, tasty food! 😁

    Sad to hear you're still struggling. But you are right, if something takes to much of your valuable time, money and health, it's not worth doing it. I hope you can enjoy cooking again without the stress of having to film it. Wishing you a great life Matt, enjoy your kickboxing, time with friends and take care of yourself.
    Thank you for saying goodbye

      Thank you for the lovely kind words and support and taking time to watch my little channel, Tala! I think that's a big thing for me - getting my love of cooking and baking back just as something I do because I want to. I wish this had become something more, but I'm proud of what it was.

Ill be sending good thoughts ur way,and i hope only wonderful things fo ett ur future. Blessings ❤

      This is probably my last time logging in to this account, but I didn't want to do so without saying thank you for the lovely kind words and support, Candice. I'm sorry things are tough money-wise for you with disability. Even though I'm sad about ending the channel, it has been the right move for me as I'm finding myself with more time and money to take care of myself, and that was the whole point, really. Who knows what the future brings, but for now I'm content with what I did with the channel and that it's the right time to move on. 🙂

      @@BigFoodieGeek I appreciate that so much. I'm glad you feel better and have made the right decision for you . Life is short. Its important to be happy with what you are doing. That's what I wish the most for my own grown sons, and grandchildren, that they're healthy,and happy . With those 2 things you can do anything. Sending you lots of hugs. Thank you for all the great cooking videos over the years. Maybe 1 day u might decide to do a once a year special on here. For Christmas maybe. Many of us old subs will miss you,but again I completely understand. I wish you all the happiness in the world. You are a kind young man. Many blessings to you 💜

    Just be in the mindset that you created a great channel, you have come along way and made something that is a pleasure to watch. I have watched your videos since we connected via Twitter and now Instagram, and them coming to an end is sad, but in the grand scale of things, you must always put your mental and physical health ahead of everything else. I wish you the best in whatever you do, take care of yourself, and as I said in my Instagram comment, if this is goodbye, then at least we had the giant Lindor. Andy.

      @BigFoodieGeek  8 месяцев назад +1

      Cheers Andy! I appreciate all the support you've given me. I do wish this had become a slightly bigger channel so I could put more time into it, but it wasn't to be. But I was proud of it just the same. Who knows what the future holds but for now I just need to focus on taking care of me!

      Thank you! I tried my best, but you have to know when to call it quits! I had a dream where I wish I could've made it onto Sorted Food, but sadly my channel never got big enough to be noticed. But I'm happy that some Sorted fans got to notice me just the same. 😊

    I've got to tell you Matt, and this is strictly as a viewer who watches people eat food on my downtime, I'm so surprised your channel hasn't blown up. I haven't watched this quitting video so if it's something else, that's your business, but you've always come up with a new angle every time. It's difficult to impress your 8-year-old daughter but the guy on the TV just made a giant Jaffa cake and both her parents were like, "We know that guy! That's Matt".

    • @BigFoodieGeek
      @BigFoodieGeek  8 месяцев назад +1

      That's very kind of you, mate. Honestly, it was never the lack of ideas or angles. I had plenty of those. But I've been running out of the time, money and, honestly, energy to pull them off. Videos were becoming a chore rather than a joy, and I haven't been looking after myself properly. So I ended the channel to regain my time, money and joy of food for it's own sake. I had a lot of fun with the channel, but it's definitely time to let it go. But who knows, maybe there'll be one more giant food in the future. 🙂

    Bit of a blow, to ‘lose’ you just as I’ve found you. This morning I ‘braved’ how to make a traditional tin loaf - your video popped up and the loaf is in the oven as I type. It’s looking good! Thankyou for your help. If this gig is bringing you down, you’re right to walk away. Take care, don’t let the b***@*DS grind you down. Once again, thanks.
