is Pesto overpowered or is it just a green tinted stealth build for people who want to be different pesto has quietly held a spot in the upper tiers of the source meta for years It’s a no cook cold applied buff with a flavor to effort ratio that’s frankly broken Blitz a few premium ingredients and suddenly you’ve got a sauce with ridiculous synergy scaling Pastas sandwiches roast veg and even chicken builds Its mobility is unmatched It works hot cold stores well and doesn’t need active cooking time which is why it’s embraced by speedrunning play styles But the ingredient dependency is brutal Subbing in spinach or cashews does create a B tier pesto that’s completely unplayable But what is the final ranking for pesto frankly it’s an A tier proving again that the Italian server might just have the best clans in the game

Pesto is too overpowered for how low skill it is
"Premium ingredients" Morrisons Parmesan. lol
That small bag of pine nuts must’ve been like 10 quid easy.
ChatGPT script?
Green pesto is ok. Red pesto is god tier.
Good pesto is unbeatable, bad pesto is repulsive. So A is probably best. Love the stuff done right but can't do it myself without taking out a mortgage or buying it from the store. The store stuff is meh usually but if you get it from a farmers market it's immaculate.
You gotta try chimichurri from the Argentinian and Uruguayan servers.
I’ve had pesto on pizza and it’s amazing especially since there was extra fresh mozzarella on top 🤌
i disagree that subbing ingredients necessarily results in a worse sauce. but maybe that’s just me being used to walnuts instead of pine nuts
Pesto is overrated as hell
Mate… try to add tamil language it's my mother tongue i like your video… I like to hear it on my tamil language 😊
pesto is garbage and ill fight anyone who says otherwise
Use extravergin olive oil, actually a good one please, a good italian pine nuts and grind it with a mortar please
I'm italian and i do my pesto beating manually the shit out of basil, garlic and the rest. It'll be more gross but very tasty
That's just italian version of salsa verde, would add cilantro to it just because.
What about pestou that is pesto's little brother?
I put coriander on steak and it tastes amazing
Pesto is Ok, did you try chimichurry?
pesto is disgusting 🤢
You mention premium ingredients, but use an extremely cheap and low quality olive oil.
Dude you HAVE to pay attention to the auto generated subtitles they can't understand your accent
It is so OP it literally sent me to the hospital
The oil he is using here is borderline inedible.
99% of the “has to be motrar and pestle” crowd wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if given a blind sample between both
I played pesto with a walnut skin once. It went well. Had many pasta kills.
Tierzoo for food ah
Get this man a granite mortar and pestle
sauce ❌
source ✅
If you can't afford pine nuts, try walnuts. Tip from a poor gardener!
Your olive bottle may look fancy but it aint extra virgin! Pesta is one of the most premium pics in game, cheaping out on any ingrediënt is a shame.
Who even dubts pesto? Or any european food?
I'm gonna be real, pesto is just mashed peas if it was made by pretentious assholes (pretty much all of Italian food culture to be fair) – it has a similar texture, the pine nuts do jack-shit, and adding cheese does nothing to improve the taste of grass in a sea of oil; it doesn't matter if it's made in a mortar & pestle, if it uses the freshest bullshit money can buy, you are lying if you say pesto is anything better than decent.
Also, literally every single Italian dish that is popular worldwide was invented and/or pioneered by Italian-Americans who made actually edible food on a budget instead of wasting their life savings on importing overpriced garbage.
💚💚💚
Although you should use extra virgin olive oil, parmesan and pecorino and ideally grind it with a mortar (the blender can heat up the basil and cook it)
Pesto makes me gag, it’s nasty
Do not use Filippo berio. It is the worst olive oil out there
Call me crazy but I’ve never liked store bought pesto
Mate, you still haven’t done “are mushy peas overpowered?” I don’t think chips are quite the same without it
Pesto is overrated.
No Big Nibbles
Our game is the most overpowered sauce in the game.
Don’t blend it
Don’t blend it
blends it
“FU-“
Thats a blendo, not a pesto
That’s a crazy looking pesto😅
“Chicken builds” made me laugh out loud 👏🏼
Nice salt ❤
Marry me 😂
Yeah you can make cheap pesto by diluting it with other herbs but it is still top tier for the effort.
– You don't need that much garlic, it should be basil flavored mostly.
– You don't need salt if you combine your parmigiano reggiano with pecorino. Also buy better cheese please, that stuff looked horrible. Pesto doesn't need extra salt.
– USE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
– It will taste better with a mortar and pestle. A mortar crushes the basil, you just sliced it, you'll get no basil taste in the sauce.
– Please don't use this sauce for your fried chicken… You don't need to combine oil with more oil. Coat a pasta with it.
Appreciate your tome doing this but real pesto is another story. Again, thank you anyway for your time doing this
