Ashens has found a different kind of sewer system to process the remains of his lunch

Well,we need Ashens to do the 'Try Before We by' so we kow what we are getting.

Or his content into lunch? Nobody knows.

he's made a career off of discount foods and tat.

And he even admitted that he absolutely loves one of them. He just couldn't hide his true feelings that day.

That would be epic. You might even be right. Although I'm not sure Ashens is quite enough of a household name for that to actually work...

In the words of the infallible Sir Gannon, "I'd buy tha'!" 😁

Honestly, If I see some instant microwave food that calls itself unironically "adequate" I would go for it. At least they know they aren't Michelin star fine dining and don't pretend they make food on that quality. One microwave burger here even writes on the package to "pimp your burger" by throwing salad and sauces and stuff on there. They know that makes the whole thing much better.

And me… haha!

What I do with these microwave things like this is:I take them out of the package they will heat in(if they have one) and wrap it in a single to double layer of paper towel. This makes them not damp and hard usually, I don’t know how this would turn out in a British microwave as I’ve only done this in the USA microwaves.

@Teamgeist a true survivor will find a way to run a microwavr

@Teamgeist they are precooked. They just need heat. You could heat them anyway neccessary. Wrap em in foil and put on fire coals if you need, or under hood of a warm car engine. Dont need to neccesarily use microwave, its just the most convenient/consistent for printed instructions

@Teamgeist No I understood that. But you also mentioned they couldn't be prepared with a "camping cooker", which to me implied they couldn't be cooked without electricity... I was only commenting alternative ways they could be cooked with no electricity... my statement agreed with your "Humourous" implication. I just gave some alternatives to use in that situation.

I'd Wrap it in foil and put it on my exhaust manifold of my Chevy after getting it up to temp. Rotate @ 5 min. Finished after ten... I'm talking about burritos. Idk aorry

@@dragonforcehair9739 But those are also all the reasons why the Tories would never elect him as party leader, so …

Here in the USA you have say Aunt Jemima pancake syrup, it's just sugar and butter flavored corn syrup, no maple at all. I grew up in Northern PA, lots of maple trees, so I always had maple syrup growing up. Actually my father's side of the family had a maple syrup business... butter/sugar flavored syrups are ok, but I guess when you grow up with Maple everything else is just a poor imitation.

The ingredients list golden syrup as main part of the "maple sauce", which is also a lot thicker. And then they added corn flour for some reason.

Yeah I was gonna say… we like our Real Maple Syrup (tm) here in the northeastern United States too, I’m from New Hampshire and a lot of people in my hometown do syrup making as a hobby, maple products are sold at every tourist trap and museum gift shop… you do still have to pay extra for it at restaurants though which is kinda shitty

And, of course, you can make maple syrup as thick as you wish just by continuing to boil off water. Like everything in a market-driven economy, the logical incentive is to maximize profit and make it as watery as possible.

Mmmmm corn syrup...

Are you sure that they haven't shrunk in the wash?

They are just using the surplus sausage from the sausage muffins with the buns from their standard burgers is my guess in whatever spare size boxes they have left

@@cjtquk I've seen similar things like this here in the US. As the cost of supplies/ingredients goes up companies have two options, charge more or reduce portion sizes (sometimes they do both). The fact that there's a sticker tells me that they shrunk the portion, but are using what remains of the old container. Then they will come in a new smaller one.

The danger comes when there's places for an arc to form. Microwaving a spoon will do basically nothing, but the same with a fork is a bad idea

​@@ALYZZAOFDEATHThunderbolts and lightning! Very, very frightening to me!

the asian landlord showed me how to microwave a metal bowl, and i did so as head chef, and my uncle the owner of the restaurant freaked out because i put metal in the microwave lmao. its ok because its smooth, as he said....

It's mainly sharp or pointed edges which cause a problem in microwave ovens, because they act as focus points, getting extremely hot and converting the microwave energy into visible plasma and sparks. Which is why foil in the microwave is the worst idea - it is extremely thin for a start, and if there are any folds or crinkles, these make hundreds or thousands of these focus points, making sparks all over. Flat metal surfaces with no thin edges or sharp points are fine, because the microwaves just bounce off, like they do from the interior walls of the microwave oven. One of the worst microwave experiences I had was from heating water in a mug - which had one of those shiny iridescent coatings on the outside. The water heated up reasonably well, though didn't get to boiling point. But the coating on the mug got insanely hot because it was essentially a thin layer of metal, which I didn't find out until I tried to pick it up. The heating within the microwave oven is not uniform, because the intensity of microwave radiation varies a lot depending on the position and where the microwaves are bouncing around - this is why microwave ovens often have turntables to try and even out the heating for anything you are cooking. You can determine the pattern of where the microwaves are going with some thermal paper - the type used in fax machines and supermarket receipt printers. This paper contains a compound which turns black when heated, so the printers using it don't need ink, they just have a series of heating elements which are selectively activated in sequence to form the pattern of whatever they are printing out. Just lay some of this paper out on the bottom surface of the microwave oven (with the turntable removed if there is one) and spray in just enough water to make the paper damp. You can fix some to the side walls too if you like, using some paper tape like masking tape. Then run the microwave oven at full power for about 30 seconds. The moisture on the paper absorbs the microwaves and converts them to heat (this is how microwave ovens cook food), and the heat turns the paper black in areas where the microwaves are most intense. This reveals the pattern of where the microwaves are most and least intense.

Agreed Feather Cat, reminds me of my mate Vince but food related instead

@Mister Rattlebones sorry Mister Rattlebones

He has the charisma, but I find people eating things and saying how they are is somewhat entertaining on a baseline.

Nah, we're just here because 15 years ago there was nothing better to watch on KZfaq. It's Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

@Mister Rattlebones then why are you on this video you trog

It was because the bun was weak, not that the bun was cut in half, although the driving factor to that bun was that it was cut from top to bottom, we cut it from side to side

Especially those bbq rib things... you know they're bad in every way and yet they taste phenomenal! Add some mature cheddar for extra taste and minus health points!

@@mrwhoannon300 I hate the Tories but sadly at this point they're the best of the bunch. Even though they are terrible. And seem to be going through an especially bad patch. And I'm a lefty really. But the so-called left wing parties are all insane. But so are the Tories. In some ways they're way too right wing for me. In other ways they're way too... "left wing". Or at least, too "woke". I dunno basically we're completely screwed. There's nobody worth voting for.

@@PiousMoltar Yeah mate, tons of people love to talk down on the Tories, it’s definitely understandable in the current climate but also because it’s trendy, but we’ve had to go through Brexit and a World War is on the horizon and the world has half the gas supply it did before, the whole world is suffering right now not just the UK but Brits are so blind to that. In my opinion the whole government needs an Overhaul. Boris was a strong leader in my opinion, should never have left. Didn’t mind Cameron either, and not being sexist but May and Truss were just a laughing stock. They were weak leaders. Maybe Sunak will be a good move only time will tell. However the Tories have won back some votes especially in the Indian/Pakistani communities with electing Sunak.

@@PiousMoltar If you refer to the Tories as "the best of the bunch", you're not left-wing. Please for the love of god stop saying you're a "lefty" when you're absolutely not. And while you're at it, stop thinking in terms of left and right. Think about the overall political scale. Do you believe in the importance of capitalism? Do you believe in the importance of protecting a state's people above all else? (Socialism) Do you believe in a strong leader, strong military, and a fiercely dogmatic nation? (Fascism) Think about those, then form your opinion. At this point, you're just playing sides and it helps absolutely nobody.

​​@@VortexKiller2 look for ashens hot dog, its a 4 year old video with an american style hotdog two pack

I literally still have no clue what people are even angry about. Was it the fact that the bun split completely in two, or was it the way the bun was cut? People seem to not be able to give a straight answer. What Ashens himself seems to think is that everyone got mad that the bun was cut into two halves, but I've seen people say that the problem was that he cut the bun in the wrong way.

@@monkeysaru3957 it's was the fact he cut it down the centre instead of separating the top and bottom

@@Mortonbmx Literally everyone in Britain does that, it's the British custom when it comes to hotdogs. A bunch of Americans basically gang-pilled a British guy for doing something British. It just seems like a bit of a silly American-centric nonsense, if you ask me.

To be fair the bread should only need about 10-15 secs total, just looking for that warm steamed bun.

You can also use a little thing called a toaster

frozen pancakes are a thing in sweden too, and they're honestly exactly the same as fresh ones. Granted these are thin ones, not thick fluffy american ones. We use syrup made from sugar beets, however. Feels just slightly less wholesome than honey.

Yep! Frozen pancakes and waffles are for sure a thing in the USA. It is nice to have when you have a bunch of kids and need to run off in the morning or if you work a lot and need fast breakfast.

Actually stack of 6 scotch pancakes is about 70p fresh and they are same as American ones

Yes, you can put a spoon in a microwave typically, or a knife, it's forks or crumpled aluminum foil that causes the arching.

You can put cake decorating tips in the microwave. Generally they're not in there long enough to cause a problem, as long as it doesn't touch the sides of the microwave.

@Latest Obssesion First off, FOIL, as related to the conversation is a metal, hammered into sheets and used to cover/protect food. I told you to check the definition RELATED TO THE CONVERSATION, but I guess your reading skills are as quick and as sharp as a butter knife in molasses. Secondly, the crisping sleeves used in microwaves are indeed metallic. They're called "susceptors" and are made of metallized films, ceramics, and metal (such as aluminum flakes).

@Latest Obssesion Congrats on knowing you're wrong! The foil sleeves you cook hot pockets and whatnot in are metal. You may've been sarcastic about it but you're right in that you're wrong.

@Latest Obssesion Dude, give it a rest. I recently purchased a new microwave and the manual explicitly tells you that you CAN put metal (and even aluminium foil) into it, as long as you keep it at least 2cm away from the edges. It even comes with a metal tri-stand like raiser for using the grill and a huge metal pan to heat frozen pizza. (You first start the grill to heat up the metal pan, then put in the pizza and the microwave oven uses both its microwaves as well as the grill to heat up the pizza. That whole "no metals ever into a microwave" was only a thing for the very early/first models and hasn't been a real concern since at least the early 2000s.

Get a job.

Only the gods could top that.

@pookapalooka It's not just a specialty store thing. It's something you can buy at Walmart. But it's about 6 times more expensive per ounce than imitation syrup. (7 cents per ounce for the imitation and 45 cents per ounce for the real maple syrup).

@Latest Obssesion It keeps it from being dry and gives it the “straight out of the oven” kind of feel.

@Latest Obssesion what about hams?

Homebrand stuff would probably be more worth it considering that homebrand foods tend to be more cheaper than the actual brands.
