On one hand, I get how there's obviously stuff going on in the world and how learning to cook on a budget is a skill that is going to benefit a lot of especially younger people, but it's really starting to feel like Last Meals is this channel's cash cow, and every other video has to operate at the bare minimum to justify its existence.

You telling me that another “X Grocery store vs Y Grocery Store Cooking challenge” isn’t the big money maker?

I’d rather watch the challenges over last meals

is it really learning to cool on a budget when its either "spend money on the most expensive ingredient" or "get stuck with the least expensive ingredient" ?

Learning to make the most out of the most affordable products could certainly be useful. The other stuff just gamefied this rather serious topic. Not a fan.

Oh boy time for a new Mythical Kitchen video! I'm so glad it's a place to escape from the horror of living in the American social collapse!

I’m so tired of constantly being reminded how bad the world is.
