You could try planting the lemon seeds and make a series of short videos about it. The sprouts on the potatoes will grow entirely new plants if planted and produce a new crop in 3-4 months in the UK. Could also be worth test planting video series.

Sad to see that Mike has deleted alot of his collabs... Curious

I actually think these potatoes were a perfect size for the recipe. I love the combination of herbs and spices. I often add a bit of cumin, ground black pepper and turmeric to mine - that would taste similar to the curry powder. They don't need to be boiled until they're soft and breaking apart, only enough so you feel slightly less resistance when you put the tip of a knife in them. And of course, they keep on cooking after you cut the gas, so time is of the essence, but I think you did a great job for a first attempt. 👍🏻

Potatoes are the best food group ❤

Shake it like a polaroid picture!

It's best to use the smaller part of your grater for zesting lemons.

Looks good to me mate, gonna flavor mine more like this next time.

Interesting spice combo for roast potatoes. Not one that would (usually) be used in the UK for a Sunday roast (with beef or chicken as the meat accompaniment). However, I do like to 'play around' with the flavour profile of roasties for a midweek meal. Yours looked great! I often do a tray bake of white potatoes or sweet potatoes with other veggies and spice them up. May I humbly suggest using fresh bay leaf and rosemary (both hardy plants that seem to grow anywhere). Put them whole in a mortar and pestle, bash them a bit, then mix them in with your potatoes and other ingredients then roast and remove them before serving. Fresh bay and rosemary are a subtle but very evident flavour profile once roasted.

You could have so many different experiences cooking that same reciepe with just those same ingredients - and with different potato types somany more different results again. Truly I did not understand potatoes for a very long time

I'm currently living in Ireland and seems (not totally sure of this) that the most popular potatoes have a "floury" texture while we prefer those with a "waxy texture". But both are good depending on what you want to do with them.

500 million dollars, wow.

in regard to the corrupt people and what do they want all the money for, to hoard thats all they do because they are terrified of being poor so they just collect as much as they can and sit on it out of fear of running out of money and never having the opportunity to get all that money again, I do think its a mental illness or type of trauma.

Commercial growers actually use a gas which turns citrus skins their beautiful color.(It's not harmful).Homegrown citrus usually have a bit of off color. Potatoes here are not called "Irish", that I ever heard of ,just potatoes, potatoes are native to the New World. Never shaken potatoes either ,it may be to break them up a bit. I have also never cooked these kind of potato with any citrus. Only the Sweet Potato ,it's sweet taste pairs well with citrus and brown sugar and orange juice. My dad mixed butter, orange juice and brown sugar and cooked it to a syrup and put it on boiled, peeled chunks of sweet potatoes.

I use powdered garlic too, it's so much easier! Interesting that you got Irish potatoes in, I wonder if it's to do with the type of potato. In Ireland we have loads of types, I can't really keep up, a potato is a potato to me!

Always a pleasure watching and listening to you cook and such.

What I love about making roasted potatoes is that, because of their neutral flavor, you can season them any way you like. Sometimes I season them to compliment what I'm serving them with, other times I season them with whatever I'm in the mood for. (If you don't care for rosemary, you can substitute something else or simply omit it.) To help prevent sticking or burning, try turning the potatoes halfway through baking. Would this technique work with your locally grown potatoes? It's always interesting to see how you can adapt western recipes with locally sourced substitutions.

Good job. To have a better feel of the rosemary, you can crush it in your hand before you add it to the dish. Rubbing/crushing spices also often brings out the flavor a bit more by releasing some of the flavorful oils in the plant

Great first attempt dude!

Babatunde you should invest in something called a crock pot it runs on electric but it's a great helper in the kitchen... If electric doesn't work given your situation look in to a dutch oven

Always good to hear from you and the real stories and cooking. The stories and cooking remind us how things are in real life: messy and complicated. Thanks for the video and stay safe!

Seems like a filling meal!

In Los Angeles we eat beans and rice. Rice is similar to bread but you can put it all together and bring to work.

Yum!

Beans Mmmmmm!

Like beans 🫘 on toast 🍞 😋

❣️💌❣️

Beans and bread / toast is cheap and filling.

Looks good! I eat a lot of beans myself-mostly because I’m a vegetarian. It’s a good way to get protein for vegetarians and when meat is prohibitively expensive. Beans have quite a few health benefits too.

Beans and cornbread is still survival food in Appalachia. Cornbread is very cheap and easy compared to what you used here. No yeast, cup of cornmeal, cup of flour, teaspoon or so of salt and baking soda and sugar and an egg and a little oil and milk or buttermilk. Often cooked in the iron skillet used for frying . People used to cook on woodstoves but it's all electric here now. The beans are simple, brown beans, water or chicken broth, an onion and some some bacon or salt pork ,seasoned with salt and pepper. The beans are wet and the bread is dipped in to sop the juice. The beans are eaten with a spoon.

❣️💌❣️

And to think about it. Mr Mike eats alot of beans too. He must be very hard working.

I think beans or other legumes eaten with bread or other cereal grain products is is a staple of the working class throughout a lot of the world. Though the specific legume and cereal grain combination, as well as flavor and preparation method, varies widely across cultures.

Probably red palm oil 👍🏾

What was the red sauce/oil that was added on the beans? Some kind of chili oil? Or what?

Beans on toast is very popular in the UK

When I was a young girl , we had cornbread and beans . It was filling and delicious . The cornbread was baked in a cast iron skillet which made it taste very good !! God Bless you ! 🙏

Very interesting! Beans on toast is fairly common in my area of Canada, although perhaps not as popular as it used to be. Other food seems to be more fashionable these days. I still eat beans and toast sometimes for breakfast or lunch. As the name indicates, the bread is toasted. It is placed on a plate, the beans are ladled on top, and the whole thing eaten with a fork and knife. It's a very simple homemade dish! I'm sure the beans taste differently from yours, though - it looked like a sauce or palm oil was added? Because it is such a traditional dish, there are many recipes for baked beans throughout eastern Canada and northeastern US - they probably all came from the UK originally. Ours are sweet, flavoured with molasses or some other sweeteners. I think you can use almost any type of bean, but by far the most common, in my area anyway, are dried navy beans. Navy beans are small white beans (I think I heard once that they were called navy beans because they were served in to the sailors in the navy; I never knew if that was the US, Canadian or UK navy. Or all of them, I suppose.). Of course, you can buy canned beans in any supermarket, but they're very easy to make at home, and they taste better. I remember my mother telling me that the bread she made at home cost more than the store bread because hers had different ingredients. She may have meant as well that the big commercial bakeries can get flour cheaper than a housewife can because they buy such large amounts of it. We liked her bread more than the store bread, though. At that time and place, though, the cost of fuel wasn't that significant in the cost of homemade food.

Look up struggle meals and try some out

When you mentioned people who work hard labour jobs, I was reminded of my man who worked in a manual lumber mill. They ate a LOT of bowls of oatmeal and a lot of bean meals to get through the days. Your meal look delicious.

I love bread and beans. This is a standard meal in so many places. Those beans look really good!

I wish RUclips had a remote taste function! Please could you enlarge on the ingredients, flavours and textures that you detect, so that we can imagine what it's like to eat?

Thank you for an entertaining and educational video.

Sausages

Interesting video, thanks Babatunde!

I'm intrigued by the notion of the sounds each of us finds difficult in other languages, but not so keen on the whole "If they can't pronounce this, they are a Nigerian scammer" thing. English is a hard language to speak, but if somebody doesn't speak it well, I don't automatically think they're criminals. Also, I'm sure we can agree that not every Nigerian is a criminal. 💚

Holy crap, I never realized this.

Very cool!

2:10 What's with the guy staring at you with a rude look on his face? Or maybe it's not a rude look and I'm seeing through the lens of my culture.

I don't have anything to say. Just leaving a comment for the algorithm. 😊

Even some of the very impoverished children in America have toys like this. It's heartbreaking to me that $4.50 USD is expensive in Nigeria. This is where the problematic white savior complex comes in. I wish I could buy toys for every child. But even if I could, I know it wouldn't help. Nothing would change. Thank you for sharing this with the world. This is the type of content people need to see.
