Did anyone tell them about the effect baked beans can have on you lol?

Aye shite choice i know🤣🤣

custard better and easierout ov a tin or can as yous might say

I live very close to the original Birds factory. It no longer makes custard but it's been transformed into offices, shops and bars

@@mmhdata Oh, that's sad. Well at least the custard powder is still being made. Don't tell me it's made in Holland or somewhere!!!

@@margaretnicol3423 Made by Premier Foods Group, The NL is a good guess as other Premier products, such as HP made there. Just looked at a tin, it does not state where, it is an old one, BBE Jul 16. Probably still OK.

@@tonys1636 It'll be fine. That stuff lasts forever. :-)

I remember that coming up on Q.I, which surprised me as I didn't know there was any other way to make custard other than Bird's!

Yes there is something mesmerising about it!😀

The cutting the toast behind the fork was odd too.

And turning the fork upside down meant the beans kept falling off.

im right handed and eat wit hthe fork in my right hand i have NO idea why people put the main utensil to eat wit hin their weaker hand !

@@girlsdrinkfeck I'm right-handed and do that as well. They say the stronger hand is for cutting, but that means changing hands. I couldn't cut with my right hand anyway.

Americans don't learn to eat with fork and knife, it's fork only in the colonies.

we use both measurements but i can assure you i never take the eu option.

@@XENONEOMORPH1979 The EU doesn't use pints.

@@glynwigley1581 he said " we use both measurements " in the UK, of course the rest of Europe use metric.

@@jimrodda Do you think most Brits even know what a US pint is?

@@wessexdruid5290 Well a lot of us do because it's one of the few things that America does smaller than us!.

Oh yes that's what it was missing vanilla!

Just buy instant custard taste is just the same. 👍

This is the way to do it !

@@markrichardson6357 Yeah, a bit like the loose tea/tea bag ‘controversy’ that I remember as a kid.

Yes this is the way I make custard.

Apple and blackberry crumble, yummy, my mouth just started......'scuse me.

I love custard with any sort of fruit pie/crumble/pudding. Much better than cream or icecream for those.

Why did you limit the custard to just the English, we Scots love custard with our puddings.

​@@Thurgosh_OG so do we Aussies.

Or nestles clotted cream.😋

Oh that would be good too!

Red Leicester cheese and a splash of Worcestershire sauce mmmmmnnnnn

Yeah, each to their own. I love beans and toast... Not on toast. Big plate of beans surrounded by loads of toast with butter. All for the mop up. I know, its no different, but I don't want my beans on my toast!

@@lemonfresh9396 ah my friend, if you're used to the punchy flavour of marmite, then Worcestershire sauce might not register on your taste buds. Let me know how it goes 👍

@@Evarnet I don't put my beans on top of the toast either. I don't like warm beans, so I dump them straight out of the tin into a bowl and then dip my toast in. Quickest tea ever!

haha same!

Well honey is sometimes used a sweetener in place of sugar. English tea at its most basic everyday variant is always served with milk abs people tend to sweeten if however they if they like sweet. I put honey in my tea from time to time when I want a different sweet to sugar.

Only weird if you try to use lemon in a milky tea, good luck with that. No, you can use honey with regular tea with milk. I usually do when I have a sore throat. It is also an alternative sugar, which is primarily glucose rather than sucrose or fructose, which are not very good for you. As long as you count your calories and don't sugar spike, glucose just breaks down into water co2 and energy very simply. In terms of taste, it goes very well with afternoon and evening tea, especially if you are not having anything with it. Most people drink breakfast tea, though, which I don't think suits it.

Me too.

yeah i was like ewww wtaf.. ya dont put that in a cuppa tea, you put sugar and milk in it.. or if you dont have sugar just milk lol thats a propper english cuppa tea

Me too, I just could not believe what I was seeing! What you two drank was nothing like a proper cup of tea! Americans love their sugar dont they !

😂😂

Fair enough if you're feeling fluey

I’d do it that way, but living close to the original factory a custard aficionado does not make. I prefer Branston. Heinz are too sweet. Too much sugar added.

@@NailHeavenAshford It was just a FYI and not intended to deceive folk into thinking I know more than others, my suggestion came purely from watching, first my mother and then my wife, make perfect custard.

Heinz beans are ovverated tbf, Branston ones are nice, I even just get the shops own branded ones sometimes and they're still decent

Also, eat them with the bread you usually eat. Brown/wholemeal or white is fine, there is no wrong way to eat it.

It helps to cut the toast in to bite size pieces before putting the beans on, then top it with a poached egg. As for custard, just buy a tin, some pots or a carton. Not the sugar free one. Lidl make a good one.

The thin custard is because of the difference between what Americans call a tablespoon and the Brit version. Brits use a large serving spoon as a tablespoon.

Chili con carne is also great when stuffed in a potato!

I was going to mention the beans and cheese on jacket potato.. ...But I use thin slices of ham as well. I simply roll each light up and put it on top of the beans and cheese on the jacket potato so that it warms the ham through. Another thing you could try, which might take a little bit of extra preparation & cooking time, is to cut up some small new potatoes into thin'ish slices - heat a frying pan with BUTTER, and a little olive oil (for flavor).. when the butter and oil has finished sizzling, and gone quiet, meaning that the water content in the butter has boiled away.. ...turn the heat down a little, and lay all the slices next to each other directly in contact with the pan. After a short amount of time flip the slices over, for a short amount of time until both sides are lightly golden - and to finish off, flip them back, until one side goes dark brown meaning the potatoes should be cooked through and crispy. To serve, lay the slices on top of the beans, golden side down and crispy side up! Place, or sprinkle the cheese in between the potatoes so that they don't go soggy. Add salt and pepper to taste (always add salt to the potatoes whilst they are in the pan, and add the pepper whenver you wish, but I love peppep ,

@@shannonwittman950 that is absolutely delicious! Whenever I cook a lovely hot chilli, and I've got some leftover, the following day I do some baked potatoes, for all the family. My kids absolutely loved chilli on jackets. Crispy salty thick skins, soft yellow potato, drenched in real butter, then reheated chili poured over and around the potatoes. OPTIONALS: Add some cheese. Either on the butter, or drizzled on chili; FOR THE BRAVE: A few drops of Tabasco on the buttered jackets before adding chili; Encona Hot Pepper Sauce, from Waitrose, and Waitrose online. Add to anything, or stir in cooking pan; Encona Fruity Hot Pepper Sauce. The same as normal, but with a tangy flavor (absolutely delicious! ..Either on chili jackets, and as sauce or marinate on barbecued meats, or stir in cassoulets); FOR THE EXCEPTIONALY BRAVE: Flying Goose Hot Pepper Sauce. From online stores. Squirt on anything - to taste (it's HOT!) Or stir into chili con carne, whilst cooking - SO GOOD! (Make sure you have some vanilla ice cream for dessert. It's great at soothing your mouth, and taking the tingly heat away after main course.)

Cold custard tastes better.

I should think the time you took messing about, the beans on toast will be cold, supposed to be very hot..

Depends where you are and the water, in the UK the producers of teabags have different blends for different parts of the country, in the south we have hard water and need to let the bag soak for longer, normally make it and walk away for a bit, but like I say if you get the right brands they compensate and then its dip, stir and go.

The bread looked amazing.

Working together as a team always seemed a sign of a good marriage, to me.

Too many cooks spoil the broth" as we say in the UK. This all seemed so chaotic! Doing too much at once means nothing comes out quite right! I admire your spirit though.

That actually sounds good.

Mayo on chips married up with some Polish spicy ketchup. Result!🤌🏽

*branston

I love home made bread 🍞 Well done hope u enjoyed the beans on toast 👍

Making custard from scratch does NOT include using Birds powder.... *Shaking of head*

Hey Kevin, I know what you mean about the homemade bread. I think baking bread is common in the midwest (not so much on the coasts). It's just more an everyday thing in the midwest. My Mom used to make four or five loaves at a time for our family and it was soooooo gooood! I make it myself sometimes and it comes out very dense, same as what they did here.

No you can have it anytime

I put cornbeef in my bake bean on toast.

I'm glad it's not just me that just zaps beans in the microwave :) it was under five mins between pausing this to have beans on toast while watching to taking an empty plate back to my kitchen lol.

Mr Kipling is know over here for being far far too sweet.

Better still, buy a tin of ready made and heat GENTLY, also very good COLD! Give up is my advice to you on make a proper cup of tea!

bread in america is sweet like subway bread

I think you need to add" one at a tiime, not all at once"!

In between would be right.

Most of us no longer even have sugar in our tea. If it is used, we call it "builders tea"ie what they would brew on a building site. Ethan, you have a very unhealthy sweet tooth !

@@marycarver1542 I'm not too sure if most people don't use sugar. Builders tea is to do with the strength of the tea, i.e, not much milk.

The ounces are the same but our pints are 20oz and US pints are only 16oz.

Wait, did you get it the wrong way around? You're meant to add the hot milk to the custard mix while whisking, or else you get lumpy custard. 😉

I'd say I have it thicker than honey, but thinking about it I buy only set honey. Honey isn't really a good way to describe consistency.

Thank you very much, we know it ran long but we wanted to do it as best as we could.

I buy the bargain/value beans at any supermarket and add a splash of milk and blob of butter into them while they are heating up - they always taste delicious. I always have a fried or poached egg on top as well if they're going on toast.

@@gillianrimmer7733 If I'm having this as a snack or lunch I'll just have beans on toast but if I'm having it for tea I might have beans on one slice and two fried eggs on another slice ........ and try to keep them apart on my plate !

They do the same here but I don't know if it is required by law or not.

Custard Is common here on australia. So common that there are multiple brands and types pre made in the dairy section of the supermarket. I like worcestershire sauce on my beans. About once a month we have a 'big brealfast' for dinner with eggs, bacon, pork sausages, beans, toast and sometimes fried tomatoes/mushrooms

That was a treacle tart with crushed cornflakes on top

Spotted Dick with custard . That's a new one on me . We had sponge puddings with custard but spotted dick was always with a knob of butter and sugar.

You just reminded me lining up to get the pudding at school and always asking for the 'skin' off the custard!!! And yes, spotted dick and custard used to be a favourite - Yum, Yum! 😀

@@davidwebley6186 I couldn't eat it without custard!

Makes me want some apple crumble and custard now lol

How about rhubarb pie or crumble

@@andygraves3658 The rhubarb can be left in the field where it belongs

"Toaster Ovens" ARE a thing in the UK, we simply call them the grill. Americans call the grill bit "The Broiler" which is a word I don't think even exists in the UK ? When we say "The Grill" Americans think we mean the BBQ ! Note to Americans reading this... The BBQ is called..... Wait for it... The BBQ !! The Grill is what you call the broiler !

@@0utcastAussie So they're like a grill that's separate from the cooker?

@@0utcastAussie I just Googled them and they're not a grill. It says a more compact version of an oven?

@@RosLanta I agree, I have a counter top oven/combi micro as I live alone and don't need a full size one...easier to clean too.

I've got one, I think maybe, it's an air fryer type though so not sure if it is the same Is like a small oven but cooks stuff on lower temperatures and for less time due to how it works, quite handy and energy efficient when just cooking for 1.

HP beans for us!

More juice less beans

@@powjj hp for us too, when we can find the dam things, hardly ever have them in our local supermarket

@@ezza9578 home and bargain

Heinz is the yard stick to compare every other brand, everyone knows what they're going to get.

The bread was far too thick. Should have been at least half the thickness of that.

I disagree. I always heat them thoroughly until the sauce starts to thicken. Lukewarm runny beans are disgusting 🤢 !

@@barryhumphries4514 Exactly - allowed to simmer and thicken, retain their heat longer - essential that the beans are hot!

The other bit is having the controls for the cooker at the back of it, this side of the pond they’re on the front so you don’t have to lean over the hob/stovetop to adjust the temperatures.

@@johnleonard9090 and quite often they’re digital as well. I was thinking there was something else but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Cheers.

@@johnleonard9090 My US hob has the controls at the front. My old one didn't. It varies. As for electric kettles, they take way too long to boil water on 115V and the build quality is awful. I have an old school one you put on the hob and whistles. I'm a Brit who's lived in the US since 1997. Can't say I've ever warmed up my mugs when making tea in the mug with teabags. I do warm the pot first, though, if using a pot - but I can't remember the last time I did that.

Oh dont make it more complicated for them for goodness sake! Let them master PROPER beans on toast first, then how tohandle cutlery, and a decent cup of UNSWEETENED mug of tea..

The name is the recipe.
