I Was Wondering Is The Mustered Powder Optional Or required Thanks
How about a Cheap homemade pizza vs Expensive homemade pizza.
How about doing a cheep v steep cheese on toast??
Full english breakfast cheap vs steep
How about a cheap vs steep breakfast bowl. Egg, potatoes, cheese and choice of bacon, sausage or ham.
A risotto could be quite interesting for cheap vs steep because people make so much fuss about the right risotto rice.
have you ever made risotto with typical long grain rice like basmati? if not, try it. you'll see why people say to use short grain.
@@broshmosh Yeah, you are right. Although I was thinking more of comparing a cheap short grain rice against an expensive Arborio, Carnoli oder Vialone Nano rice
I always put a heck of a lot more effort into my stock when making risotto and just gabbed cheapest arborio rice. Would be interesting to see the difference.
@@simonj48 I am sure the stock and wine choices could make a real difference. And for a Risotto alla Milanese getting real saffron vs the fake stuff often sold.
I just made risotto with sushi rice. Worked quite well.
never thought I'd be watching a grown man do an impression of WWE goldust while making macaroni cheese in the middle of a pandemic.
What a world we live in
I think a BLT is a great idea for Cheap vs. Steep. Each element in the finished sandwich is so distinct that it will really show off any difference in quality.
Can you get fancy lettuce?
@@JustAnotherLondoner romaine v iceberg?
@@KassandraPerU He just uploaded a video of this idea today.
Can’t wait to see the “best self isolation meal from a cupboard full of tinned goods” viddy from you Barry!
You mean you actually *have* some tinned food ?! :-)
@@DavidFoulds I always have a stock of tinned food, im now at the point of trying to find fresh stuff so I dont have to dip into the tinned or dry rations like pasta and rice.
I made a vegetable casserole 😁
I think you should have use the same kind of cheese just another brand. It's not fair using cheddar in the cheap one and some very strong smoked one in the other. :)
I agree with you. The bread should have been white in both, not sourdough rye for one and yeasted wheat for the other, the cheese should have been the same age and unsmoked.
@@Ketutar Exactly!
I think the cheese from waitrose was a smoked cheddar. But yeah, he should have gone with a non-smoked cheddar for the expensive one.
Precisely. I mean, no wonder it was strong and overwhelming - that's not really a great use for smoked cheddar. (BURGERS!)

Cheap v Steep full english breakfast with all the trimmings!
Suggestions: Pizza, steak, burger, some sort of fish dish.
You should ponder maybe doing cheap vs steep with something that's strongly flavoured, like an indian curry. If you go to an indian cash and carry + halal butcher, and compare that to a posh supermarket.
Saahil Dossani You could do some really interesting experiments with that.
Cheap ingredients, cheap spices

Choddle that’s what I was thinking, not to mention it might encourage people to visit their local Indian cash and carry, or Asian supermarket, or Polish supermarket and expand their horizons if they realise it’s not scary expensive.
Unfortunately we have no nearby Asian cash and carry and travel costs would outweigh the advantage. Unfortunately I am also on lockdown at home because I am one of the vulnerable category in the present situation. I'm lucky, my granddaughter does my shopping for me and as an oldie, I know lots of ways to get by on very little
I feel I must once again advocate for an episode of Cheap vs Steep that features sausage rolls. I really want to see that.
The amount of bread in British sausages can be astounding. Here in the USA it’s practically unheard of. So cheap sausages might be half bread, and expensive ones all meat. Quite a difference.
“How the cows are stroked and all that” I’m dying ! Barry can start marketing wagyu butter.
The average cost of a loaf of bread here in California is $3.20 The fancy kind is about $4.00. I love these videos! Pizza please!
Average loaf of bread easy coast USA...5.49
That's what I was thinking! Even if we convert pounds to dollars at the time that this was posted, things seem so much more expensive from what he's buying at! He must be in the rural countryside somewhere.
Entertaining me while I’m stuck at home! Love the vids!
take care
"Butter is butter" people in France, Ireland, Denmark, Mongolia and Hokkaido Japan just now dropped their phones in disbelief and indignation!
Sweden too.
Dont forget the dairy capitol of the world, the Netherlands :-) there is so much difference in butter.
As a Dane, i can confirm!
@@marijnl dairy capital? Never heard that one before :O
@@ziggythomsen3436well, yes, it might be an exaggeration, but I have seen brands of milk products in the US, in Canada, in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand all with names like?: Dutch cow, Hollandia, etc.. So the Dutch have a very large presence in the world when it comes to dairy products (Gouda, Edam Leerdam cheeses are supposed to be from Holland for example).
Also, the best milk cow in the world is according to Wikipedia a Dutch breed:
the Holstein Friesian
This breed is considered to be the best milk producer of the world and widely distributed most countries of the world.
I don't know if you can call comparing white bread and sourdough bread "using the same ingredient" :-D Not sure if it's different in the UK but in Germany you can definitely also get cheap sourdough bread at ALDI
ParticleFairy u can’t beat an aldi bloomer ngl ;)
I was thinking the same. Those are 2 completely different kinds of bread. Sourdough has had a lot more time to develop taste compared to the white bread yeast.
Same with the smoked vs unsmoked cheese... not a fair comparison IMO
Bruh, the cheap Aldi sourdough probably has bread yeast as well as starter, making it, not a true sourdough.
Homemade sourdough can not be beat.
Doesn't matter. They disregarded it at the end anyway.
As an American, I feel like our everyday products cost more than the “steep” versions of your products and it makes me angry 😂 the bread and butter for instance. Wild 🤪
IKR? Canada is even worse! I don't understand why, with the population you have in the US, basics aren't as cheap as the UK? 1lb butter for $1.70 and 0.57 for bread?!
@@nollypolly1869 In my country 250 grams of butter (about half a pound) is 2.5 - 4 USD.......
I live in the UK, but spend a month in Tennessee earlier this year. Your food prices were crazy expensive and the choice very very limited. I even found your fast food prices expensive when compared to the UK. Not what I expected at all. btw, you guys need to experience real cheese!
Nolly Polly lol I was just about to comment saying when they were talking about the price of bread and he stopped for dramatic effect on the “steep” price I was like as a NYer that’s a normal price 😅
That is exactly what I was going to say.
I really love these videos. They definitely highlight the difference between buying cheap vs expensive foods and whether it's worth it in the end. I would however recommend maybe trying to stick to similar ingredient between the two? e.g. white bread on both expensive and cheap sides rather than two kinds of bread, and in the previous video, using two different kinds of butter and also regular caster sugar vs golden caster. I'm probably being a bit pedantic but I think it would better highlight the differences by using more similar products, just more expensive versions of them
Thank you for providing some quality entertainment while the world goes mad! Fave youtuber and the sweetest couple! Love videos with Mrs B - she’s awesome! ☺️
Definitely need to get the same product from each shop, white bread and sourdough, mature cheddar and smoked cheese, how can you honestly compare them against each other? 🤷🏻♀️
Don’t you remember what Gaylord ‘Greg’ Focker told us? “Basically you can milk anything with nipples” 😂
"I've got nipples Greg, can you milk me?"
"Can you milk a sheep?"
Barry... you've used feta cheese more than once. Where did you think it comes from?
'An excellent profile picture'
"An excellent comment, by an excellent chef."
I mean... I thought feta was normal milk made a different way
Luneytunes it is, it can be both.
And Greek Sheep's Yoghurt.
Cheap vs Steep: bread and butter pudding and homemade custard
Yum....wish my mum was still alive to make it, mine never tastes the same. And not to be mistaken for yucky bread pudding...😁
Oh yeah, this is a good idea
Cheap vs steep... chocolate chip cookies 🍪

I’d love a series on ‘affordable’ vegetarian recipes. I am not vegetarian, but would like some inspiration so that I can curb my meat intake. Love the stuff. Keep safe!
Hi Barry, I like the new series! Maybe a good idea for a new video: spaghetti cabanora (prepared the traditional way). It is a simple recipe but I think the difference in ingredients will come out real nice!
Have you tried getting guanciale in the UK?!
I was going to suggest this!!! I think you could make some amazing sauce with cheap ingredients it's just how you cook them..
@@annother3350 Wait, doesn't guanciale *come* from right nearby? Over a thousand freedom miles (2000km) to Italy it seems. Groceries are complicated
@@AshesAshes44 That was 2 years ago. I found a good source of guancale 5 minutes from my house now
Cheap VS Steep Pizza! Also at 23:07 (the end) Chloe clearly had something to say! You can't cliffhanger us like that!
Just throwing a few ideas at you for future Cheap vs Steep: Margherita pizza or maybe something with ham and mushrooms. Fish and chips? Soups. Sunday Roast? Fried English Breakfast? Not sure if there are any desserts you could do, maybe sticky toffee puds?
Quarantine brought me here! Now I been watching Barry Lewis for endless hours! I love this sweet family, bringing light in some crazy crazy times!
When you're comparing the prices, I think you should compare the unit price!
I'm constantly surprised about how cheap the "steep" products are.
I miss the good old days when you could actually buy pasta.
When you tell the grand kids back in the 1st few months of 2020 sitting like it was ww2 waiting for parliment to give us updates and when pasta and toilet roll wasnt taking for granted anymore 😂
I was wondering how he even got pasta. They must have filmed a while ago.
I'm in isolation and this is my last day (I survived - yay!). I still have a packet of bronze-die linguine from my pre-isolation week that I didn't touch. I've been watching the news and am ready to barter it for half a pound of gold, or half my mortgage paid off....
@@horsenuts1831 swap u for a 4 pack of andrex and half a loaf of bread 😂
I couldn’t believe nobody could find pasta. Throughout the entire lockdown, there wasn’t a single store I went into that didn’t have pasta in it. Never had an issue even once. Rice, too.
Must have bought the pasta ages ago.
Yes I filmed this in what feels like 1990
I keep finding myself saying “Was that only a week ago?”
Yeah, our local stores have been picked clean of pasta, rice and beans.
@@tncorgi92 Our stores have pretty much nothing. No canned goods, no milk, water, paper products, cleaning supplies. you would think we were in a post apocalyptic movie or something.
I have never seen big ol' croutons on mac n cheese. I have seen bread crumbs.
I've never been so early. Glad you are doing Cheap Vs Steep again. Great concept
yep we actually filmed this almost immediately after the brownie one as it was so popular but have got lots of videos filmed
I think something like a homemade pizza would be good. Interesting to see if fancier tomatoes, meats or cheeses make all that much difference in the end
2,6 GBP for French gourmet butter... Normal Swedish butter would cost the same in Sweden anyway... But they are usually sold in slightly larger package for about 4 pounds... Anyway, great video as always Barry! 👍🏻
Haha, exactly my thoughts too! And that parsley for like what, 10 swedish kronor, what the heck?! Not in my stores anyway... Apparently living in Sweden is the equivalent of living posh 😂
No French butter, but Kerrygold is $8/pound in the States!!
Talking about prices for fun. Parsley here is AU$3 a 'bunch' in one store and 10 grams in another pack. we are 1Au to 55 US atm (effing C19).
saxyrocks can be. Some stores regularly have half a pound for $3, others have that when it’s on sale. So $6/lb if you’re lucky, $8 or more if not.
@@tessan613 try living in Norway, it's way more expensive here 😂 och jag är svensk, så lever med detta varje dag, gråter nästan varje gång jag går och handlat. Allt är så jäkla dyrt här.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Barry for putting out such cheerful content in such an uncertain time. Distraction is invaluable! Hope you're all doing okay
Love the BLT idea but i was thinking pies, so chicken and leek or steak and ale
My suggestion would be waffles! Especially if it's pimped waffles, with fancy vs squirty cream and maybe caramel sauce vs sea salted home made caramel.
French butter tends to be made and preserved through culturing with bacteria, English butter (like most other butters) tends to be made and preserved through salting (even unsalted butter, which just has less salt due to our more modern industrial processes). The bacterial process requires more attention during manufacture, which is what you pay for.
its lovely to see you and Mrs Barry having fun in the kitchen
British Cheddar cheese the best Cheddar in world. I felt my life was over until they started selling British cheddar over here in Finland.
Perfect cheese for a mac n cheese.
I think it also needs a bit of Gruyere - Ooh yeah!!
I always have 3 cheeses in my mac n cheese.
Brilliant if you can find pasta. Surely that makes it steep Vs steep 😂
With all this craziness a Barry and family video is just what I needed ❤️
Love all of them, Keep them coming. Love Mrs. B when she helps out. Hoping the family is safe and good health
Had to give Barry a like just because he knew who golddust was 🤣🤣
Now do this again but with branded vs non branded. So use a main brand for everything on one and then supermarkets own for the other one
Absolutely Inspirational in these trying times, i had to go and cook some Mac and Cheese myself due to your brave efforts Barry, thank you for your service.
BLT is a really good idea. Simple, short list of ingredients, so any differences ought to be very apparent.
Crabcakes, Grilled Cheese and Tomato soup. Gordon Ramsey beef Wellington (I know you already made it but for this application very interesting)
GRILLED CHEESE!
"Cheap vs Steep - Whatevers left in the Supermarkets" should be the next one
So a box of cornstarch, some Vegemite and ten pounds of kale?
Yay I love this series of vids ! Ty both it was fab 👍🏻💗
The first time I'd made a cheese sauce, I didn't think it was working correctly because the cheese wasn't melting properly and was only breaking off into clumps. I kept stirring but the cheese suddenly melted in one fell swoop into this wonderful sauce. I swear when it did, it made this sort of gooey "SHLOMRPF!" sound and magically became part of the sauce!
See I saw this and immediately thought... how could I do a mac and cheese with a nice Roquefort or other bleu cheese
oooo but cheep vs steep of pizza with store bought crusts would be interesting
Should of got same cheeses you can’t compare plain cheese and one that’s smoked ,that’s nothing to do with price ,that’s just 2 different products !!
Difference in the pasta will be the ability for the pasta to hold the sauce, which is not really needed for a thick cheesy sauce.
A fresh bay leaf during the sauce-creation stage is amazing.
With ingredients getting harder to come by in the markets since "the virus" you should make a "survivalist" easy to do recipes with only ingredients in your cupboards...
When you order macaroni in Italy, it just means tube pasta so penne is a macaroni.
Macaroni is a type of pasta, penne is also a type of pasta. Don't make things up if you don't know what you're talking about.
What I love about Barry -I've watched him for ages - during this viral outbreak he hasn't slowed and nor has he mentioned corona as far as I know. Soldier on wor Barry!!
I love mrs. Barry's stories!
As an American, I've just realized we pay way too much for bread...
40p is dirt cheap though. If you want a good bread that's not been rushed and is no packed with calcium propionate you really have to spend around £1.50
David Valtik 40p is the cheapest bread you can buy but it’s really discount bread, it’s not bad toasted but for a good loaf it’s around £1 everywhere other than Aldi
In my part of USA you can't find anything in the stores. I would love to make this
Beautiful Angel Blossom the same in Australia 🇦🇺 too... 😩☹️😡🤯😔😢😭😜😛😀
@@emilyalcorn3547 the covid 19 is insane I never seen anything like this. Please stay safe
does anyone else just love mrs barry 🥺
I would love to see, either another video, or at the end of each of these, you guys taking your favorite ingredients of each of these and making a mid priced version and see if it’s better than the cheap or steep versions. Just like how in this one you prefer the cheap pasta, but maybe some of the more expensive cheese, but the garlic doesn’t matter, etc.. I would love to see the compromise, if you will. Because that’s a lot more realistic. Most people will use some regular (cheaper) ingredients but spring for certain items to really make a dish pop and I’d love to see that with this videos too.
I've never heard of bread on top. Is it a UK thing or am I just isolated?
As a Brit, never heard of it either. I feel like it's not that common to mix pasta with bread.
I’m british and I’ve never done it. Might just be a Barry family thing.
I've seen mac and cheese with bread crumbs but never full pieces like this. It was strange to this American as well.
Nah not croutons but breadcrumbs to give it a more crunchy topping.
I’m laughing at prices!! Once I did the conversion I realized the your “expensive” ingredients are about on par or some are even cheaper than budget brands here in Nova Scotia Canada!!! Like WTF that’s not fair at all 🙁
ps: IMO using the smoked cheese was kinda cheating, same with the rye bread... totally different flavour profiles between the cheap/steep so not that accurate comparison... again just IMO
I'm pretty sure you're making more money though so in the end it is fair.
@@sonjapersch6074 Making slightly more money doesn't equal the 3.5x increase in price between the cheap and steep in this episode. Nova Scotia minimum wage is only a few dollars more than UK.
Love this idea!! Good way to put the afternoon in when your stuck at home with a 5 month xxx
Love this cheap v steep series.
Cheap v steep lasagna? or cottage pie? or risotto? or fish and chips?
cheap v steep homemade icecream?
i second the question of what good stuff can you make just using tinned foods?
or maybe a ready steady cook type thing with ashen or your giant foods buddy...they can bring a bag of foods (with a set budget) that you had no clue of before hand and you have to use every item that they bought. you can use any pantry staples/herbs you have on hand as well to make two (or three) dishes.
Start of the video: "3x the cost"
End of the video: "3,5x the cost"
Thumbnail: "4x the cost"
Behind the scenes: 5x the cost
Cannot believe it wasn't referred to as "Mac & Cheap" at all.
Cheap Vs. Steep French Toast. Always love the videos
Only just found your channel, new favourite after watching this video! Brilliant!
Hey Barry, great idea for a new series; cake decoration series!
More things like the golden snitch cake or burger cake, turn it into a series.
Adam Taylor great idea!! Yes please!
Probably a Mrs Barry series that, I know she'll like to do it if she can do it

When I'm trying to cook, it's more like *"BLEEP!"*
I've never seen anyone add those pieces of bread to a mac and cheese before, I'm so confused
Same. I was highly confused and still am, kind of. I've seen people add buttered bread crumbs, which is what I do with baked mac and cheese, but never like croutons on top.
Yeah I thought the same! I thought maybe it’s a British thing 🤷🏼♂️
@@DeanB I am British! Its not that.
@@madgirllolly Bazza is just whackattack
I’m British and I’ve never done this with the bread and I’ve never seen it before
Hi Barry!
The concept behind 'Bag for Life' is that when the plastic bag gets shredded to pieces you can exchange it for a new one in the shop without paying for it.
So, hence the term, 'bag for life'.

The cheaper butter is more yellow when it was whole.
The pasta water the expensive one the water was starchier.
For Mac and Cheese you can go budget on all the ingredients and upgrade the cheese for the biggest impact.
The italian in me died when he said "parmejean" and "pani rigatta"
That really annoys me - Americans seem to think that the word 'Parmesan' is, for some reason, pronounced 'Parmezhan'. Why? I have never heard an Italian pronounce it that way, ever. Maybe Americans think that the word 'Parmigiano' is interchangeable with 'Parmesan'. One or the other, but 'Parmezhan' is utterly wrong.
@@brianartillery The british way of pronouncing it is also incorrect.
I also die when italians speak english. See how that isn't a cool thing to say?
@@Mushnp who ask?

Tip for y'all: Use a whisk to make white and cheese sauces. It makes it so much easier and makes a lighter and more aerated sauce.
