You should do a week of following serving size suggestion
jak1259 Yeah maybe he would actually lose fat
He would lose weight no doubt. I am on a weight loss plan and i have to measure and weigh everything. I track it on myfitnesspal.
I just want to see how much of a difference it makes
jak1259 I would die.
IPlaySuperNes u? How so you calculate and balance what you eat? I think it's very difficult eating the right amount of carbs/fats/proteins without eating too much of one or the other...
your cat has so much to say
Ollie Embourne he’s like FEED ME MORE FOOD
8:57 I'm vegetarian, haven't eaten meat in over 15 years, and even I'm pretty sure sausages aren't supposed to sound like that.
Tesco sausages are nice but like he said they do have a crunchy ish outside
Redhotsmasher no good sausages have good snap
Best way I've figured to make those cheapy ramen packets when I absolutely have to (I'm a student) is to break the packet in 4, put it in a bowl, pour boiling water until they are more than a bit covered and cover the bowl with something for about 3-4 minutes. Makes them more soup like with nice tender noodles , then if you want you can pimp it out with eggs, spring onions etc...
This is literally the way you're supposed to make them.
Not in the god damn microwave LMAO.
You mean... You just follow the proper instructions. >>;
I think he should ask college students how make these cheap food most of the food he can make better by adding stuff or just seasoning lol I love add spicy curry in my soup or Japanese curry 1/2 cube in it :) yummy
tocov If you pause the video at 4:35 you can quite clearly see that there are instructions for microwaving them.
A lot of Americans here need to realise that Super Noodle style noodles AREN'T meant to be made the same as ramen. I'm not a big fan of making them in the microwave but the instructions do suggest that and usually they aren't supposed to have a soup.
Toast the bread at least! lol
That's what I keep on thinking. Or you could even fry it in the eggs to make a French toast.
In a egg sandwich?! You maniac!
No way not for an egg sandwich
Justincredible817 I never eat bread without putting it in the toaster
Justincredible817 that would be too exotic for him
This whole series is making me wish we had this in the US. Even accounting for the difference in currency values you're still getting off cheaper than Walmart.
I heard ppl say that Lidl or Aldi are cheaper. Maybe try that
if you where wondering about the high salt, fat and saturate content of the noodles, its down to that little flavour packet, its literally a heart attack in a packet, i would recommend only using half of it, and thats the same no matter the quality of the instant noodles
How do you see the instructions to cook noodles in the microwave and still fail at following them??? It clearly says to boil water first, then throw the noodles and seasonings and cook covered! Lol! 4:38
Basil wants a cat friend. They can tolerate us humans only so far.
4:52 when he dropped it I actually thought he was about to say "fuck it" and just leave the sachet in
Antioxidants keep food from getting brown. And BTW - ascorbic acid is vitamin C. They seem to be using that as an antioxidant in everything now. Well... I guess nobody can complain if they add vitamin C...
Patrons see them early
What did this have to do with antioxidants lol
Yeah, it was one of the least offensive ingredients.
I'd question the "pork" more...I guess 42% snout and anus, would look less appealing on the packaging.
On the plus side, reduced risk of scurvy
GIR9595 Umm, read the first sentence of the comment?
The noodles done on the hob properly are actually really nice 😂😂
Ascorbic acid is Vitamin C! it's not a spooky scary "e number" god forbid!
professortbag Yeah it's one of the least offensive ingredients....ooh 42% snout and anus :p
CabinDoor yes. Getting too much of any vitamin is generally extremely difficult.
AgentTasmania
But if you do, it isn’t pleasant.
but ton A Lot of this is our humour .he is taking the piss quite a lot.its not against the law to not know every thing.if so we would all be locked up.
You should do a week on Aldi or Lidl
Cameron Wyllis so just a regular shop then
Katie Buckley not really, aldi and Lidl are considerably cheaper than other supermarkets and they seem to have quality that's on par with name brands.
I do all my shopping at Aldi & have done for over 20 years so a week on Aldi food vlog would be just normal eating
Morrisons savers pretty good too
Yes I agree that aldi is definitely the place to shop. For three people, our bill came to £27 whereas when we shopped at Sainsburys, our bill was double that. Please note, this bill includes fresh produce and not convenience food which is not worth the money and is not as nutritious. Convenience foods are merely what I would regard as time saving supplements. For example, in sainsburys, I would buy for example, fish pie for £1 from the freezer section and to that I would add my own potatoes and carrots and voila, you've got a meal.
You know that there is an everyday value soft spread - £1.35 for 1kg
Robintheboywonder4
Guessing it’s pure palm oil?
Judging by the price, probably.
I like how he was shocked at the nutritional value of the noodles but fine with eating a packet of ginger nut biscuits, digestives, pies and chips, pizza and a whole garlic bread too in previous episodes 😂
Should have made eggy bread!
Tom Roberts its french toast ya animal
French toast is different.. at least in the north of England..
There's eggy bread, fried bread with egg surrounding
French toast is just fried bread..
Or at least that's my stance on it haha
nicola prince Beat a few eggs with a little milk n season dip bread in it and fry = french toast
Conor M hmm. I was always told it was the other way round, French toast was just bread in oil fried but what you just described was eggy bread :')
Either way he should have done it that bread is vile from first hand experience
nicola prince cause yir english bet you call a gowny a housecoat aswell
I make my instant noodles into a nice bowl of ramen soup with a soft boiled egg some pork loin and bean sprouts. I have to add some spices and a chicken oxo cube but it’s almost like something you would get at a Japanese restaurant in a small town in Canada. Actually it’s better than the ramen soup we get in my small Canadian town but that could be because the restaurant is owned by a Vietnamese couple who are the chef and server.
allan fulton are you from the caribbean
chiller stones Canada
Most likely because they're vietnamese, tell them to stick to pho because that's what we're best at and it's probably better than what you make
The egg for dinner looks "Sunny-side up" rather than "Over easy". The difference is, "Sunny-side up" has not been flipped and the yolk is soft/runny. "Over easy" is flipped while cooking, but the yolk is still soft/runny.
Although an egg is an egg and it is one ingredient, I can tell the difference in taste, especially with regards to the yolk, between a Free Range Hen's Egg and a Battery Cage Hen's Egg. Also the shell of a Battery Cage Egg is easier to break than the shell of a Free Range Hen's Egg.
Oh god when u went in to see the cat in the am ,I thought that was a turd on the carpet 😂
The Tesco Value sausages are what we give our dogs as a treat, they love them XD
That egg's sunny-side up. Over-easy eggs require you to flip the egg over and cook the underside. Still has a runny yoke but a lot more solid. Very delicious.
"How can I cook this...thank god, microwave" Ha!
Those sausages look ok . They look like what we call breakfast sausages in Canada. 5 breakfast sausages cost $3 here but they taste good so I guess they aren’t the same.
I think they have different tastes than we do. Most of my UK friends think things I love are nasty.
Yeah the 'value' brand sausages across UK supermarkets are notoriously horrific. Some Gordon Ramsay programme dissected them to determine meat content and such like. If my memory serves, I believe Tesco's were actually the worst with a crazy high percentage of connective tissue. It's on the same level as the gloop we all see that makes mcdonalds chicken nuggets.
Tesco sausages have very low pork in em
Spicy Meat British sausages are still the best in Europe. The E250 in German sausages are insane
Spicy Meat McDonald’s use 100% chicken breast
Hey Mike, the Ramen noodles are salty and loaded with carbs, yes. But keep a packet or two, and wait until next time you have a cold. You will love them at that point. Three pointers: 1. Make them on the stove. 2. Don't break up the noodles. 3. Don't overcook them; 2-3 minutes is all they need.
SigEpBlue they aren’t ramen
"Good old British dinner" 😂😂😂
Water and rusk sausages. Never mind the other ingredients. Soak rusks in water and heat them up, possibly with added flavors.
The egg was sunny side up, not over easy. Over easy is when it's flipped over to set the white, but not long enough to set the yolk. Interesting point on the sausages, 42% is the minimum in UK law to call it a "pork sausage".
The spongy texture means your sausages had tvp in them. I looked it up and 'Rusk' is what the UK calls it - it's basically a plant based food addictive used in cheap meat products to take up space (42% pork, 58% wheat filler basically lol) - has a trademark spongy texture.
Agreed.no matter if I was skint,I’d never buy caged hens eggs.
But,of course this is a type of challenge,on a budget...
Stale bread makes the best toast, you're killing me with the lack of toast lol
Is that all the food you give your cat ? Not surprised he is whiny.... My cat would have attacked my physically if that was all I gave him for breakfast..
Clive Shaw I have a black cat the same size as Basil. She will only eat about half a foil sachet of food in one sitting, anymore and she leaves it and it dries out and goes to waste. I imagine Basil, like my Buffy, eats little and often.
That was just the wet food. You can see he also has a big bowl of dry food next to it. I'm surprised his cat gets wet food every morning. Mine only get it as a special treat.
Same
And there’s my cats having a literal bowl full of wet food mixed with a few dry biscuits every morning and night!😩😩
My cat attacks me physically for fun.
The eggs were sunny-side-up, not over easy. The "over" part of over easy means they were flipped during cooking.
I serious my thought your cat had done a a shit on the carpet at the beginning of the video lol x
i drain the water away after i have boiled noodles then add mustard and vinegar like they do in china, try it, makes it sweet and spicy and not so bland with the cheapo broth.
In Australia, instant noodles are generally known by the ‘2 minute noodles’ leading brand, which refers to the microwave time. No fucking wonder those were a dried out slop after 4 minutes.
And that was nowhere near enough water.
That egg with the (bad looking) sausages looks closer to sunny side up than over easy to me.
Over easy is actually a cooking direction. You cook them on one side, then gently flip them on the other side, not to break the yolk, and cook for only a short bit of time. The result is usually that a thin layer of whites covers the yolk. This is the way my mom prefers her eggs.
Sunny side up doesn't flip the eggs at all. You just cook the one side, and maybe toss some of the hot oil on top to try and cook the whites a bit on top. Another technique is to cover the skillet as they cook, and let the steam cook the top. Either results in there being a nice bright egg yolk on top.
Dad likes over medium, which is like over easy, but you let it cook longer, and the yolk becomes kinda gooey instead of so much liquid. I tend to prefer over hard or any other hard fried egg. Either of these works better in sandwiches, I find, as the yolk doesn't run out.
I'm sure someone already said it, but you don't need to preheat the water for Ramen before putting it in the microwave. Hell, you could just use hot water and cover the bowl for 3 minutes, just as good.
0:35 bloody hell thought that was your breakfast for a second
antioxidant is in it to keep it from oxidizing/turning bad. It also makes meat less stinky....
In those pork sausages the odd names are standard ingredients on all sausages. The 'anti-oxidants' are there to preserve them; ASCORBIC ACID is basically VITAMIN C. Presumably there to preserve the rusk content.
The contents vary according to market position and production cost. Pure pork in Finest sausages significantly higher and will contain less fat based components such as pork rind.. thus would obviously have better texture. If you look at the ingredients it's actually mostly natural. All is edible but you pay for what you get ..
8:15 -without (Everyday Value) baked beans? Sacrilege...
You've got to make sure to try the 'Tesco Finest Bluebell Araucana' blue eggs next time you go to Tesco. Best damn egg you've ever eaten in your entire goddamn life. You often get these big double-yolkers inside the boxes too, just you did in the good old days. Nice N64 I see you have as well btw. Loved that console.
The 20p ramen noodles is something i get every week as its a £1 for 5. IMO they taste better than actually brands and they are super easy to make. 8/10 for me as the portion size is quite small.
The noodles you just need to ad 300ml hot water for 4 min then tip the water out and ad the powder mix and eat
Sainsbury's eggs in their basics range are from hens kept in barns
William Connolly yes and they also have the rspca seal.
that egg is not over easy- it's sunny side up lol
N64 under a front room TV in 2018? That earned a sub man.
Ramen noodles in the states usually have around 30-50% of your sodium intake for the day in the same sized tiny package
Wait, so Tesco Value doesn't have any frozen veg? That would really help to round out a challenge like this. I think even here at the dollar store in the US we have a frozen veg mix.
Your supposed to crack your eggs on a flat surface. It stops any shell from being pushed into the egg white
Tinned fruit!! They do pineapple, peaches, mandarins, fruit cocktail etc yogurts would have also been a nice option my kids love tesco value yogurts.
We need a day in the life of basil the cat
only a day? I want *ALL* OF IT
Sleeping on the couch for 20 hours a day?
I thought poor Basil had an accident on the carpet! 😳 And as for Mike Jeavons, of all people, castigating him for whinging?!
“Americans call it raman I just call it a bit shit really” 😂😂🤣
Not only that, but brown eggs??? Living it up!
Farmfood`s do 15 eggs for a quid, The doughnut working there told me you can smell the people who buy them from 20 meters away
Dole Bandit I bet
I love the leaf picture behind you at 3:28! What are its origins please?
Those eggs are sunny side up, over easy means they've been flipped (over) and cooked lightly.
Is it possible to get a price recap at the end of the week, with a price comparison with standard branded versions of things?
Doesn’t Tescos have frozen fruits you could have gotten. I find when I can’t get anything fresh if I defrost some frozen fruit that helps a lot.
normally for instant noodles you'd put it in a pot and boil
did you fry the sausages or bake them cause baking them makes them spongy and hard cased, if you can't enjoy that food you need to try not having any food for a week
Those eggs are sunny-side-up. Over easy - flip the egg over. Over hard, my personal favorite - break the yolk, then flip.
Well I was about to say our eggs are close in price until I realized the size of the package are different ours come in packages of 6,12 and 18 for $3,$4.50 and $6 .
I think that's a sunny side up egg not over easy.
They do everyday value chicken, dry rice and jar of curry sauce so could have made something a little less studenty this week.
Loving the n64 in the background
Hi there am a new follower. Love the videos keep them up
Tesco Apple and orange juice is actually Del Monte but just watered down more with more sugar
Why didn't you get any tesco value spread for your tesco value bread?
If tesco doesn’t make butter then where’d it come from for the garlic bread?
Who only has one egg in an egg sarnie? Absolute scenes.
Well, if you are coming down with something, it'll be fine you ate a medical sausage.
‘’Medical sausage’’. A great name for a low budget porno set in a doctors office.
Hehe ya that would be a good name for that.
Antioxidant is just preservative that makes sausage prone to oxidising (aka go bad from prolonged contact with air) tho...
Wait, if you don't have butter what did you fry you eggs in?
The packaging on Tesco products reminds me of Fresh n Easy packaging
that's a nice looking frying pan a the start, what make is that?
I've always been intrigued about this . All this cheap food has it got more rubbish in it than higher priced stuff ? Like chocolate biscuits . They are high in calories anyway but have they got more added 'crap' in them because they are cheap ?
Wow that cat is completely midnight. I love black cats, creepy and cute
I sometimes only eat half the noodles I add Then to half a tin of beans
Never put noodles in the microwave 😂 do them on the hob
Poor taste is mostly down to preparation. I eat those noodles and they taste great. But then I prepared them differently and use half pack of the flavouring instead of the entire pack
The sauna sage nest content is the same as frozen Richmond and walls sausages
The foam is actually liquefied fats and oils :P
The cat's food reminds me of Tesco Salmon Chunks in Jelly.
The anti=oxidant in the sausages was ascorbic acid, which is vitimin C.
Even though I’m not a student any more I still buy a lot of the bottom of the range stuff just because of how cheap it is.
Considering I only really eat sausages as part of a fry up or other greasy breakfast (and often hungover) I’m all over 20 sausages for 1.25
that's a bit much for instant noodles, actually. at walmart here it's 25 cents for a pack and 32 cents in a cup.
If there was an cheap pie with instant noodles inside that could be tesco signature range.
Do you favour tesco or would you be willing to do a week on morrisons savers or asda smartprice!?
Basil the cat is a little tinker stinker :D :D :D Lovely cat ;P
Most unintentional Alan Partridge I have seen
Seeing you got a n64 hooked up there!!!
"That's a hard shell on that sausage" ;)
the anti-oxidant is to stop the sausages from turning a dark colour
It's just under 6.5p per sausage, that's because there is about 30% pork and the rest is anyone's guess. LOL
Edit: OK made comment before Mike showed ingredients, I'm impressed that it is 42% pork.
the eggs look like the ones you get with your toy cooker when you were 7
I just got so hungry at 21:30 I had to go make MYSELF an egg sandwich before he even ate it!
American instant noodle (which I ate while watching this) has 380 Cal 14g fat(22%) 7 sat fat (36%) 66% daily sodium ( we don't list salt)
asda's noodles where 9p now there 20p+ the tesco noodles are better than the asda's ones there no batchlors supernoodles but when it comes to these types of cheap noodle there not bad just add bbq sauce or red with a good bit of bread i also just got the 30p noodles to see if its worth the cost
