Chefs, not Chef’s! APOSTROPHE DOES NOT MEAN PLURAL.
Love to see the Parmo here boys but sadly can't commend the execution, less cheddar in the sauce, sauce needs to be thicker and chilled before going on and needs way more cheddar / red leicester on top (double gloucester goes nice as well) – a proper parmo is at least B tier on this list if done well. Can I come and cook you one?
Hey guys, Ive learned so much from you, have you done a lasagne yet, i could do with a few tips.
Did you actually say Mouse Hole?
I have just started the video and if spam egg and cheese sandwich isn't in here then you boys need to check yourself before you wrec😢yourself
Scouse is lacking the neck of lamb and the pickled cabbage.
If I recall correctly, frying fish actually came to the UK with Sephardic jews from Portugal, I can't recall who first did it with chips though
Hi Chef's
Apologies for not giving thumbs up to one of my favourite channels 5 days ago. Just started a new HGV job today which hasn't sunk in yet as very little work past 5 months. I am very grateful to them. Life is strange at times when you leave a comfortable job not happy and take a chance that you can find something more challenging but yet more fulfilling. I expect it must be the same in your profession.
Stevie in Fife.
Eels are absolutely delicious. Jellied eels are an insult to food.
One of them lives to wipe his fingers all over the food!! Interesting video, cheers
Great video! Done Cornwall dirty by missing out the Cornish Pasty though! 😂
how is chicken tika masala British you clowns lol
No haggis is a crime
You boys and John Kirkwood have made me realize just how good British cuisine can be. Definitely some novelties but plenty of hits
Missed opportunity to say, "I'm feeling potatriotic" lol
a highly underrated cuisine tbh
There's an American food commentator who calls it "Wash your sister" sauce 😊
You guys are entertaining as hell. Nice cheffy stuff, excellent commentary, and unique. I dig this channel… (edit because I am an idiot and can't spell with my fingers).
English food lacks appropriate spices, so all of it sucks.
That "pint of ale!" 😂
Nothing is more british than the chicken tika. stealing another nation's cuisine and planting the union jack in it and claiming it's yours 😂
Parmo is with bechamel sauce not cheese sauce. You butchered it, make it properly and rescore. It's the best in Britain.
That last dish is looks super heavy and hearty just let your guests know to press a button if there having a heart attack cause it’s so good I’ll have make that at home. Y’all heard of the American dish heart attack on bread please make video!!!
I love classic recipes and the history of them. I found a Women's Institute book in a charity shop which is loaded with fermentation, pickle and preservation recipes. I think it's from the late 20's.
My favourite was Mock Port, which is fermented beetroot juice that you load with brandy. It's a great reference for more out there ways of using food because of circumstance and where you could take them to with modern techniques.
Lovely grub
Why is British food so vile looking
Nice guys. A couple of things, though. Fish & Chips is allegedly Portugese in origin, I read about it last year. Rarebit usually has English Mustard in it, its supposed to have a bit of a kick in it that just Worcs Sauce doesn't provide. Also, just to provide balance, I'm not a Sunday Roast fan! My wife loves it, so I have one occasionally to please her. My reason for the dislike is smelling soo many being cooked whilst I was working delivering Corona pop to clients' homes in the Cynon Valley (where I originate) in my late teens/early 20s.
That aside, an interesting delve into culinay history.
You need to do a part two to this!
You don't have jellied eels with pie and mash you have stewed eels,
scotched eggs big miss
This video confirms one of many reasons why the welsh dont like the english 😂🏴
Woshsest.. worchest.. worstche.. Woshter-shire..
Full English needs to be in that list
A great vid, but your mash is too much "pomme puree" to be British.
The boys are already a British institution to be proud of. Also mostly agree with the scoring apart from one, Fish and Chips. I am sorry, but no true Brit can score F&C any less than perfect. It would be my final meal. Being honest, the only reason to drop its score is when ‘fancy’ restaurants try and make it too ‘cheffy’ which is exactly what they did by serving it with triple cooked chips, which is bordering on illegal😂.No respectful Brit would ever consider triple cooked chips with fried fish, unless you have some sort of crunch fetish and a jaw made by Ironman. Next time, cook the chips once, and to be more authentic, wrap both fish and chips in paper for 10 mins to let it all steam, turning the chips slightly more soggy. Now that’s a proper British classic Fish and Chips, and not a Michelin star it sight, thank goodness 😅.
My Nan made the best liquor (for pie and mash) jellied eels with vinegar salt pepper is fab, BUT never hot with the liquor 🤢 my dad loved that 🤮
this many unskippable ads is a pisstake
Re: designation for the pork pie – – I thought the Cornish Pasty had a designation as well.
That is definitely NOT pie n mash. Your licquor is all wrong. Go to a real pie n mash shop and try the real thing.
I loved this!
Chicken Mo Salah! Epic.
That suet pie looked awesome. And then it went in the steamer/bain marie…
Nothing from Northern Ireland?
Leave it to brits to screw up eels like that
