Product placement

Island Taste (restaurant): APPEARS - a restaurant name is mentioned as inspiration for the dish. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Big M Cooking (website/e-commerce): ACTS - the creator's bio link leads to this site, which is implied to be where the recipe or related products are sold. Removing it would change how viewers can access the product. oxtails (food): ACTS - the food is the central subject of the video, being prepared and eaten. Removing it would change what happens in the video.
