I always wondered whether fancy food was really worth the price tag - so I decided to buy some and try it. Never thought I’d drop £70 on a box of chocolates… could do with your support on this video haha
Manuka honey is special given it’s the manuka tree the bees pollinate from. Forget culinary use although it is nice it’s also a very very good healer. Used for burns, scars and minor wounds. So don’t waste it all. Also FYI you can get the EXACT same Manuka honey from Aldi or Lidl, when I say it’s the same it’s literally the same lol.
As a New Zealander, that was very cute hearing you try to pronounce Manuka. Manuka honey has medicinal properties. You can pronounce it easier by trying "ma-new-ka"
It's a shame you didn't try Fortnum & Mason. I popped in there a few days ago and was genuinely shocked at the prices, all you pay for is the fancy packaging and the brand name. I walked back out and got me tea bags in Tescos.
it will be.. claim it back via self assessment with hmrc.. sidemen do it all the time with their 100k vs 100£ videos shopping videos. ... makes for great content
“You are a moron” £45 on a chocolate bear….💀 This was so funny and true. Cheap chocolate seems expensive now. But this was great to watch. I love the idea of chocolate covered pistachio’s, but I’d rather just cover them in chocolate myself for that price.
manuka honey isnt regular honey! it's a special type of honey that have great properties like being anti inflammatory. and while yes I get that its expensive, but there's a reason why it is that way.
You make me want to move to the UK and take on the responsibility of being your personal bodyguard so this channel can remain a going concern indefinitely.
Love your videos Ed…..and really hope this Chanel blows up and you get the recognition you deserve……because the more it does even better the videos ……class mate great humour as well
These prices are insanely high. You could've at least got something you know you'd like lol. You could do a similar video where you try the cheapest foods around and give them a taste for us. Tescos and morrisons do loads of that type of stuff.
My New Year’s resolution is to not destroy self-check out machines. As a disabled person sometimes I need help. I know John Lewis costs more but the staff at Victoria Quarter always are happy to help me.The discount stores are not designed for physical disabilities. Thus my resolution.
A Friday treat seeing you had uploaded Ed. A great video, clearly proving that expensive isn't always the best. Thanks for making us laugh, just being your lovely self Take care Ed x
Hello from New Zealand thank you so much for your videos I really enjoy them 😊 oh that honey I'm not to keen on but it does have very good health benefits
really love your videos bro, thank you for making content, got really bad stress cramps rn and turned one of your videos on and cheered me right up. You should make a members thing to support
Manuka honey is that price everywhere. Not just marks and Spencer’s. It’s so expensive because it’s only made in New Zealand and Australia. It also has healing properties
Hullo from New Zealand, gotta say I agree with you on the Manuka honey (pronounced Ma Noo Car), pretty icky stuff - and a bit of a rort if I remember rightly. You’re a smart man to do videos on expensive foods, I often see videos of the cheapest or worst foods going viral and I feel sorry for the creators because they’re kind of stuck in a rut of bad food then, to get the views 😂 Keep it up lad 👍👍👍
Laughing my head you have never had honey 😂😂 but equally how would you know stay your comparing it too!? Brilliant video! Made me laugh the entire way through! 😂❤
First time my husband has watched one of your vids with me, he has just subscribed.. He works in London and was not having the meltdown I was at a £70 box of chocolate’s.. apparently it’s normal 🤦🏼♀️😂 He’s not allowed to do the shopping 😂 Great vid Ed 👏🏻
£13 for 3 rolls it's raw fish means no money spent on cooking, no money spent on lights, like I said bait to catch the fish a rod a knife to gut and chop it with, rice roll and a fridge and packaging to put the tiny rolls in is You're only expense. £13 is a rip off
Hi Ed, I've got a challenge for you. Buy a metal detector and head to your nearest beach and see how much money or jewellery you can find over whatever time period you set yourself. Then you have to survive for the next day on the proceeds of whatever you find.
Worth every penny is Harrods Food Hall what an amazing place. Shop normally at Marks and Sparks or Waitrose. Only because Harrods is only in London. Which might be a blessing in reality.
Tesco had some 90 quid honey when I was there a few months ago. To be fair, honey consumption has gone up and up and honey production has gone down and down, so the cheap syrup stuff you buy off the shelves is mostly sugar syrup. Notice how it doesn't go hard in the bottle/jar anymore? Because most of what's in it is not honey basically.
Many years ago worked in the Swiss Centre which supplied a few things to Harrods including Truffles. Believe it or not, they were all Handmade by a Swiss chocolatier and apprentice. They had the highest quality ingredients and tasted amazing. So sometimes you do need to pay for quality
@@EdChapman23technically no, they ingest it and it goes into their “honey stomachs” where the nectar get turned into honey and they regurgitate it into the honey combs in the hive. Bee keepers say it’s not Bee vomit because they don’t digest it……. But it’s fun to tell people it’s Bee vomit 🤣

Is it just me or you get more sexy every video lol love you mate keep smashing it ed😊
Sm also win vid
Bee vomit 🐝🤮 is apparently good for you,😂
It's not just you don't worry
👍Good to see you back again Ed Chapman
More expensive does not mean better taste. It usually only means more exclusive ingredients: chocolate beans that were harvested by blind orphans etc.
😂
You can't pass on cheap labour!
I'm never complaining about the cost of a Lindt Easter bunny ever again after this video
looks like an absolute bargain now
Bees have spent millions of years honing their honey making craft, only for Ed to state, “I feel like I could do better with my own saliva”… 😂😂😂
I've got a point
Honey is bee vomit. If they didn’t vomit it up, we’d had a hard time being able to digest it; apparently.
Manuka honey is special given it’s the manuka tree the bees pollinate from. Forget culinary use although it is nice it’s also a very very good healer. Used for burns, scars and minor wounds. So don’t waste it all. Also FYI you can get the EXACT same Manuka honey from Aldi or Lidl, when I say it’s the same it’s literally the same lol.

The only thing I could afford there was a lamington, and it wasn't even that nice
I almost died when Ed paid £45 for a chocolate bear and £70 on a box of chocolates that's insane.
Idea for a second channel reviewing fish and chip shops: Ed Chipman
Butter then honey 😊 manuka honey is good for when you're poorly as it has antibacterial properties so good with lemon hot 😊
I don't know how he manages it but Ed seems to have never tried any food before he does so in a video - what does this man eat???🤣
Lol😂
Beans on toast!
Hope all that food is considered a business expense holy moly 😮
i'm screwed if it's not
Hi James
it will be.. claim it back via self assessment with hmrc.. sidemen do it all the time with their 100k vs 100£ videos shopping videos. ... makes for great content
Manuka Honey is made differently from normal honey. Bees make from the manuka tree flowers and it has a special chemical in it.
“You are a moron” £45 on a chocolate bear….💀
This was so funny and true. Cheap chocolate seems expensive now. But this was great to watch. I love the idea of chocolate covered pistachio’s, but I’d rather just cover them in chocolate myself for that price.
I love the way you think outside the box for your videos. Keep up the great videos Ed
Thank you :)

OMFG - the JFK reference on the bear made me LOL! Thanks for another great vid Ed ❤
😂😂😂 Love dry British humor, and you are so so funny. Great video!!!
Cheers Gary!
It's a great day when Ed uploads!
Ed mate im having a drama filled friday and seeing you've uploaded has legitimately cheered me up. Thank you man.
Get in, hope your weekend goes better
@@EdChapman23 thanks I appreciate that! And the content 🤣
I’m not sure how he’s cheered you up he’s a right miserable bastard haha
10:35. "Looks like JFK" 😂
‘Decapitated him’ had me rolling 🤣🤣 good video as always mate so underrated 👊
Mad to think that half the country is struggling to put the heating on and the other half the country is spending £45 on a fucking chocolate bear
To be fair manuka honey is expensive anywhere. It has very good healing properties
Perfect start to the weekend, a new Ed video 👏👏
love the way you had to keep giving confirmation after each bite that the chocolate bear was 'just chocolate' 😂
Love your videos Ed…..and really hope this Chanel blows up and you get the recognition you deserve……because the more it does even better the videos ……class mate great humour as well
you should title the video, northener lives like a southener

I was meant to like the sushi haha - that was meant to be my lunch!
@@EdChapman23 that sushi didn't look that great to me. I felt for your wallet after this video.

Thank you! :)
We can tell ed is on that (well deserved) big CZcams coin now 😉
Hahaha this cost less than Luton and Pisa believe it or not!
I loved this! Hey Ed, idea for you, what about going somewhere posh for afternoon tea? 🍵
There was a time when I hadn’t discovered Ed’s channel.. glad those days are over!
Get in
Hello from New Zealand thank you so much for your videos I really enjoy them 😊 oh that honey I'm not to keen on but it does have very good health benefits

GUYS ED HAS UPLOADED!!!! ❤

“Nuts aren’t sexist” 🤣👏🏼
Am I sad for getting excited when the notification bell tells me you’ve uploaded a new video? 😂😮
Great video Ed! Down to earth commentary as usual.
I wonder if Selfridges, sell fridges? See what I did there😅
No, they don't, but they're missing a trick there!
Love these types of videos.. need to do cheaper ones now 😊
That literally was a choc bear in a coffin.
70 quid for a box of chocolates! Michael Caine couldn't even pull off a robbery that big.
Bloody love this channel

Fortnum & Mason. Even the BAG is about a hundred quid.
The thing with premuim goods is that the people who buy them don't see them as expensive because to them they aren't.
Laughing my head you have never had honey 😂😂 but equally how would you know stay your comparing it too!?
Brilliant video! Made me laugh the entire way through! 😂❤

Great vid Ed 👏🏻
Bless you. I realise I'm old when a young person thinks £13 for sushi is expensive 😂
It is expensive no electric because it's raw just gut the fish put rice in and roll it .
Nothing expensive apart from the rod to catch the fish with
£4 at tescos
It also doesn’t fill you up, I can get a full burger chips and drink for less
Yeah £13 for maybe 2-3 rolls would be a normal price if they're nice.
£13 for 3 rolls it's raw fish means no money spent on cooking, no money spent on lights, like I said bait to catch the fish a rod a knife to gut and chop it with, rice roll and a fridge and packaging to put the tiny rolls in is You're only expense.
£13 is a rip off
LOVE YOUR VIDEO 🔥💪
"Very inclusive, it's missing a foot" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Hi Ed, I've got a challenge for you. Buy a metal detector and head to your nearest beach and see how much money or jewellery you can find over whatever time period you set yourself. Then you have to survive for the next day on the proceeds of whatever you find.
I subscribed to you straight away on your free food as long as you could video and I knew that was the right decision, you’re very likeable to watch
"the chocolate bear's very inclusive, it's missing a foot!" 😂
that so true about the DT teacher they finished off everyones stuff and marked you on their work🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ed: * Bites a Chocolate Bears nose Off*
Also Ed: Looks Like JFK Now.
Brilliant XD
Ed can make a video about any topic and it will be brilliant
I swear Ed’s my spirit animal 😂
You don't know if you've ever had honey? That's interesting.
was never a memorable moment if I have
@@EdChapman23lol, fair enough
"Thats more than double what my shoes cost" 😂😂
Bees do not poo honey...that creased me up...well played mate..great vid.
I think a good general rule is that if you can't pronounce the name of the product, you are not the target demographic! 😂
Love your videos ed, there all pure class
Thanks Gareth!
Worth every penny is Harrods Food Hall what an amazing place. Shop normally at Marks and Sparks or Waitrose. Only because Harrods is only in London. Which might be a blessing in reality.
And I thought Tesco easter eggs were expensive for the size of them but that bunny is crazy money.
Quality content mate. Funny guy indeed. Subbed.
Cheers Dean!
"Looks like JFK now" - That killed me 😂

Ed, your ratio of subscribers count to view count is amazing and you are at 33 k already 🎉. Amazing. Love you 😍
good lad, liking the content man!
That box of pralines is 20 pounds cheaper on their website (without the wooden box).
You should've tried the £28 Wagyu Beef sandwhich from Harrods!
Yeah Robbie Knox did it recently i think
Manuwaku honey had me chuckling 😂
Many years ago worked in the Swiss Centre which supplied a few things to Harrods including Truffles. Believe it or not, they were all Handmade by a Swiss chocolatier and apprentice. They had the highest quality ingredients and tasted amazing. So sometimes you do need to pay for quality
He did pay and for that price the quality was not there compared to cheaper options although we are not the target customers.
God u make me smile lovey lad x
cheers! x
Do a video where you fly Ryanair or easyjet to Switzerland (maybe the Lindt factory in Zurich) and get chocolate for less than the box at harrods.
Never been to John Lewis , only knew them for some of their amazing TV Christmas adverts but omg never knew that their stores were so expensive
Go do Michelin restaurant vs weatherspoons at some point would be cool to see you review them lol
Perfectly put Sir ❤
😂😂 cheers for another banging video Ed 🎉🎉
Another banger of a video love it mate
Cheers Joe!
How on earth have you never had honey 🍯 its amazing
😂😂😂 I use to work in that Waitrose and the M&S.
No Fortnum and Mason? 🥺
Also I got one of those Charbonnel & Walker bears on markdown last year for £6 👀
noooo, £6??? you've got to be having me on, they've probably repriced last years stock too
Honey is basically Bee vomit Ed 🤣 they eat the pollen and puke it back out
no, seriously??
@@EdChapman23technically no, they ingest it and it goes into their “honey stomachs” where the nectar get turned into honey and they regurgitate it into the honey combs in the hive.
Bee keepers say it’s not Bee vomit because they don’t digest it……. But it’s fun to tell people it’s Bee vomit 🤣
We'll call it bee bile then
@@EdChapman23 perfect
Now do a countdown of the most cheapest🎉
Great video mate 👍
Cheers Chris!
As always, brilliantly funny. ❤
Thank you 😊
Keep the chocolate thins box, use it to serve Asda's own chocolate biscuits, look super fancy and elegant to your friends 😅
Another banger!!! Such a funny guy,
Video idea, "I tried DMT" 😂
When you unveiled the chocolate bear and the £45 price tag an involuntary ‘f**king knob head’ shot out of my voice box. 🤯 Who. What. Why. 😂 insane.
Manaku Honey is expensive . It costs more than £14 in some stores. The cheapest we found is about £6 on Lidl.
You’re my comfort channel. Cheers Ed
Cheers Lewis!
The way you say manuka honey 😂
Oh that £69 box of choclates is actually a Swiss brand. They are extremely expensive. Here in Switzerland you pay about £120 for 250g.
Charbonnel et Walker chocolate, the stuff from John Lewis, is soooo good. Totally worth the price in my opinion.
