Feasting On Metal

Feasting On Metal

Hi, Benjamin here.
I am enthusiastic about cookware, gadgets, kitchen tools, and different food topics. Is my goal with this channel document my experience trying different materials for food preparation and also trying new recipes and ingredients. By no means I claim to be an expert in the food topic, If anything I hope to learn about those topics from the community in the channel
I will appreciate if you consider to support this goal in any way.
Thank you

    The Ottawa is one of my favorite boots. I don't get too fancy with pairing my boots with specific styles or activities. I just have black boots and brown boots. My Ottawas are brown boots. I don't wear brown boots with black trousers. Beyond that, anything goes.

    Thankyou for checking out the video, this leather is quite oily so when you pull it, or put pressure on it you can see the oils running along the pressure points on it, that makes the leather very supple on the feet. Hope that illustrates the concept. Best wishes for you
