Hey Shrimp, just wanted to say that your videos make me feel a bit better. I finished my degree in England last year but had to go back home to Poland because my mentally, I wasn't doing great. I didn't know what to do with myself. I wanted to go back because of how much I love the country and the people especially but due to these mental health issues I ended up isolating myself and overstaying at home. That meant that, due to Brexit, I essentially lost the pre settled status and won't be able to live in the UK anymore. Your videos remind me of walking around the Tesco, the nature in England and the people (like you, you're a lovely lad). So yeah, thank you! (Also, admittedly I never cared about plants, mushrooms and such but now, thanks to you I find it quite interesting.)
I don't know you, but I miss you! Trying to put politics aside, Brexit was a disaster for us all coming together and travelling freely, and the UK owes a huge debt to Poland for their bravery and help during the war, I hope you can come back one day, when all this hate is over xxx
Only 2 minutes in and already we've got, a girthy carrot, oneion and the travelling spice kit. Mr Shrimp with these returning characters you're really spoiling us.
I love the quote “it’s not burning it’s just in time” it would be cool if you did a cooking change where Jenny picked your ingredients to cook with like master chef but master shrimp
I adore this challenge because it addresses a specific problem I think everybody faces: buying up several new cans of *something* that looks tasty or is a fantastic deal, only to have it once and decide it's really not to our liking. And then the rest of the cans sit forlornly on the shelf for months, even years, until we finally work up the gumption to finally do something with them.
Not relevant to this cooking video, but I just wanted to say that as an American currently studying for a semester in Ireland, I always hear the music from these videos in my head when I'm at Tesco
Hey shrimp I just wanted to say that I’ve been going through the hardest time in my life recently and your videos are really what’s kept me going seeing a new upload pop up from you is the most exciting thing in the world you are funny and entertaining and I love the educational nature of your videos I cannot thank you enough for the endless joy your videos have brought me 💜
Good grief, the genius of your little spice can for camping. I've never thought of this before. I'm stealing it. When camping with small children as I do, the simple thing really can help ❤
As a Cornish lass, born and bred, you can make a pasty out of anything! I 100% support your right to put whatever stuff in there you can/feel like! I will also confess to having made 'proper' Cornish pasties with chopped up, frozen burgers once or twice; in my defence, my kids requested pasties, and I was poor and a single mum, I had to to make and do, and the meat is the expensive bit!! They actually didn't come out too badly, all things considered :) P.S; I also get VERY annoyed with people looking for 'authentic' recipes for what is, basically, peasant food. When you're poor, you swap out ingredients for what's cheapest, available, or even just what your family prefers. There are no 'canonical' recipes for things like pasties, pizzas, hotpots etc!
I really like the one cheat idea, long as you aren't using it to just screw the whole challenge and order a big mac or whatever it just allows you to make nicer things and be more creative
One time in an old cookbook, I found a chapter called, “The Cocktail Hour .” It had a recipe for Olives in Pastry. The pastry was made from flour, butter, and hard cheese. No measures given. Once mixed, you take a small chunk of pastry and form it around a stuffed green olive. Then bake until crisp. My dough was too crumbly to hold a shape around the olive so, with great trepidation, I added a little water. I was a very young housewife new to cooking. These were one of the best recipes! So tasty! I make them for church potlucks all the time. I just don’t tell them they come from “The Cocktail Hour”! Learning to work without a recipe is one of the greatest gifts you give to your audience. Thank you!
Only thing missing is the apples from outside the doctors office ( I know it is no longer an option since you moved ) and the single mushroom which in 2020 you said never pay more than 3p a mushroom
The perfect video to watch while I make and enjoy some giant puffball cutletts! I should probably thank you Mr. Shrimp, since you are partially responsible for me now enjoying foraged delights on a regular!
Loved the entire video but especially the pizza segment - this is genuinely one of the most authentic pizzas. It annoys me how hoity toity people get about pizza nowadays, when it’s a dish that predates tomatoes and other ingredients it is associated with nowadays. Original pizzas were often just flatbreads with fermented fish, or even rose sugar and such - „neapolitan pizza” was basically just an invention because tourists didn’t like other authentic pizzas. If you ever have dates, definitely try putting them on pizza with some meat - delicious. One of my favorite pizzas is also butter instead of sauce with just a bit of sharp cheese and good quality mushrooms.
In US midwest farm country the thorny plant is called jimson weed. In fertile soil it can grow several feet tall and branched like a tree even in a short growing season. The stem/trunk is hollow but the outer part is very tough. Each of the 'fruits contain a huge number of seeds distributed as the pod splits into segmented parts.
I've been doing a small scale version of the American 'pantry challenge' (where you just live off foods in your pantry or freezer for a period, basically to clear things out). It's been really helpful in using up bits and pieces that I've forgotten about. The first time that I did it, I was shocked to discover that I didn't have to shop for 10 days straight, I had that much stuff squirrelled away without realising it.
I used to love tinned burgers when I was a kid. I haven't seen them in the shops for years. When our family hit hard times, my mother had to get a job to make ends meet. I became a latch key kid, so stuff in tins was ideal for me to get a hot meal that didn't take any skills to prepare.
I just love your videos so much, especially the cooking challenges. Your voice and demeanor calm me and I enjoy listening to your videos in the background of my day to day life ! ❤️❤️ please keep making videos for a long time 🥰
I would have snaffled those apples!!!! It’s absolutely foraging in my book. I recently saw an apple tree over hanging a car park and collected loads of windfalls and made chutney, jam, apple tart and a huge apple crumble.
Skip the foraging? Why are you here if you'd skip the foraging?! Ofc in the Shrimp tradition do as you please, but there's no way I'll be skipping 😊. Thanks for the content.
I often skip the foraging unfortunately, the handheld camera makes me nauseous. That means I often skip nature walks and the excelent gravel survey series
While I believe that Mr Shrimp's videos are excellent, his person fills me with such unspeakable rage that I cannot be trusted not to do harm to myself or others. As such I have to skip any sections in which I am worried he may appear.
@@lunab541 i never skip the foraging, its my favourite bit, but i sometimes have to skip beach scenes as it causes anxiety, cant really explain why, im not afraid of the beach, i just have some kind of undiagnosed anxiety disorder and all sorts of odd things can trigger it.
It's all about creativity in the kitchen, isn't it? People who cook for pleasure generally will manage better than those of us who...well, don't find pleasure in cooking. I do envy the abundance of tomatoes!
I like how even though this was a significantly easier challenge, in the spirit of the challenge you still made something interesting and experimented with the ingredients.
thank you for the explanation of land sharing - it's so foreign (in both literal and figurative ways) to many anericans particularly. it's nice to imagine how minds are being opened about different ways of life, and one can only hope those minds continue to wonder how to make life better for themselves and their communities outside of their national norms
You’ve done a vegan challenge before, perhaps an allergen free challenge or something. A suggestion for a future challenge could be only getting things from the ‘free from’ section (or equivalent) of the supermarket and nowhere else. A budget may not be suitable as the options are already limited, but it could be in the style of ‘Just buy the cheap-ish things’.
Please, please do something wirh acorns! I've always wanted to give it a go but not been brave enough, please inspire me to finally be bold 😂 love your cooking challenges 😊
Great video - the perfect start to a weekend, no arguments. 👍👍👍 One Quenelle. Two Quenelle. Three Quenelle. Four Quenelle... I think that's best left there, actually.
Last month i had an unexpected medical bill, plus a not small vet bill, plus a hefty mechanic bills. So my budget challenge for me for this month is to not go shopping until i have used up everything i have in the pantry and in my fridge/freezer. I have a veg garden which makes this a bit easier, but it really is a good exercise to go through every so often, just to teach yourself to not be wasteful and to use everything you buy. Im in australia, so its broad bean, beetroot and swiss chard soup for lunch today. Never had that combo before. 😁
I really enjoyed this. I love the idea of using less than perfect ingredients ("economy" burgers) and making interesting, unexpected dishes out of them. I'd love to see more of these side-quest challenges using other Weird Stuff in a Can entries - good, bad and indifferent ones.
You gotta love a well stocked cupboard :) I own a pressure canner. In theory I could can (put in a jar) burgers on my own. They wouldn't look like that though. They'd probably have the same texture though. Tinned or jarred mince (even burger patty shaped mince) is always a little squishy and soft.
I was actually thinking recently it could be fun to do a challenge where you make do with what you have on the day you'd usually go grocery shopping (kind of a making what you have stretch just a little further than it's intended to). This side quest is pretty similar to that, and it looks like a success. Glad Eva liked the toast, that's the most important of course!
Great to see the use of fresh veggies from the garden! Here I've been juicing apples like there is no tomorrow! 250kg apples from a single tree. What a great year! Plenty of apples for both hard cider and pasteurized juice with lots of apple pie!
That big Kuljanka jar of pickled gherkins from Lidl is honestly top-tier, definitely my favourite gherkins ever and I've tried a lot of the UK options.
Loved it as always. You did so well. Thanks for the random Prince of Thieves quote. I went to see it on the day it came out here, it was my birthday. I had never been to a first day show before. Rarely ever went to the movies at all, and I felt so special. I used to know the entire thing off by heart. Alan Rickman had all the best lines….including his very best one, ‘you, my room, eight o clock tonight, you, eight thirty…………..and bring a friend’. Brings back some excellent memories. That was such a brilliantly written bad guy character. We still quote the blunt spoon thing at each other! As well as call off Christmas. It’s become lore. I think you accidentally invented a new challenge category as you were talking about that pizza. You said something like ‘pizza with none of the right ingredients’. So what if that was the game. You have a dish you must make but it all has to be substitutions from standard ingredients. I love your inventive brain, it’s a dream to watch. And I’m glad Eva is keeping you on track making sure you are paying your toast tax, even if you had to do it by substitution, can’t have you getting in trouble……
Many of the most tasty meals I've come up with were from pure necessity (and a bit of laziness not wanting to go to the store) as I dug thru the meager supplies on hand. Paprika is an amazing and often overlooked spice, just a pinch adds so much. Challenge idea: Shopping trip using ONLY markdown items. Seasonings other than salt/pepper only from your garden at home.
I used to really like the old westlers hamburgers, no gravy, often served by burger vans. They disappeared almost overnight, way better than the weird gravy burger things
I'm with you on the cooking garden tomatoes bit. We've had a really good harvest year here too and we ended up making tomato sauce with the last harvest just as a way to use up the tomatoes. It actually has been turning out really useful having unseasoned tomato sauce around, we've already got plenty of use from it, made a lovely pasta sauce for some mushroom raviolis just this week.
When I was 16 I saw a really vibrant red flower and the scent from it was amazing. I had touched the plant and an hour later I had itchy welts on my hand and arm. Then by the end of my work shift that night my whole body was covered in them and needed to go to the hospital of tropical medicines. Still don't know what it was until this day so that was a learning experience
I was always hoping for something like this. My own 'cooking challenges' inspired by yours are just using whats available for the next day or two. Getting a lot of use out of those random sauce and seasoning packets laying around, plus old dry ramen cakes.
Mushroom walks into a bar and says "3 fingers McAllen 25". Bartender says "We don't serve your kind round these parts", mushroom responds "Oh, come on! I'm a fungi!"
And you didn’t even cheat. Loved the video. For a cheat, I might have gone for an apricot jam omelette for dessert. Granted, after the pizza it might be a bit of overkill…
I regularly replace a portion of butter in my pastry dough with cheese, for example when making apple pies. I’ve never tried replacing ALL the butter but I guess-now that I know it works-I might try it!
Weird. I got a number notif for this video but it won't show up in my list of notifications when I open it. I only saw this when I opened my subscriptions tab.
Don’t disparage “ cat food “ I remember back in the late 70s early 80s ads for such items being portrayed as delicious food for your animals but were priced for retired persons on a limited budget. More recently I had a prison guard searching for a missing inmate finding food marked “ not for human consumption “ in a prison kitchen. In the good old USA of course.
That's correct about Sweden we have the freedom to roam the land, it's called allemansrätten in Swedish and translates to All mans right. I was trying to get some hazelnuts this year i have plenty of trees nearby and i went looking weekly to try and get some as ripe as possible but they were always too green and stuck on the branch and then one week all of sudden they were all gone : (. I'll grab some green ones next year and put on the window sill and see if that works
Shepperds purse grows all over Oklahoma, as well as Thornapple and the Wild Lettuces. We have a ton of mushrooms. The Morels are very popular in the fall. You would go nuts foragging in this area.
You could also borrow from Sandwiches of History, and after you've given something a go, tried it, seen what it's all about, you're allowed to "plus up" the meal by adding whatever you want.
Here are some things that this video has prompted me to research: - The burgers are no longer made in Yorkshire, possibly now in Corby; - Comparing the ingredient list of the current tinned burgers with the version in the previous AS video, the main difference seems to be that pork/chicken connective tissue is not mentioned in the newer version; and, - Based on the Bank of England Inflation Calculator, the burgers should now cost £1.30 rather than £1.50.

really missed the cooking challenges! thank you for blessing us mr. shrimp 😋
Unfortunate the blackberries weren't use in the video. Hope the Blackberry pie comes soon.
Blackberries keep well in the freezer for many months and I tend to use them for crumbled, pies, or added to yoghurt.

Another terrific watch. Been on a rewatching spree of all the budget videos the last few weeks.
In America, we call this prepping. Except we might throw in something that ran across the trail.

With a few potatoes, few slices of pork, some water and flour you can make a meal to last you a few days
That thin pizza reminds me of Flammkuchen - different toppings, though.

Many of the most tasty meals I've come up with were from pure necessity (and a bit of laziness not wanting to go to the store) as I dug thru the meager supplies on hand. Paprika is an amazing and often overlooked spice, just a pinch adds so much.
Challenge idea: Shopping trip using ONLY markdown items. Seasonings other than salt/pepper only from your garden at home.
I used to really like the old westlers hamburgers, no gravy, often served by burger vans.
They disappeared almost overnight, way better than the weird gravy burger things
I'm with you on the cooking garden tomatoes bit. We've had a really good harvest year here too and we ended up making tomato sauce with the last harvest just as a way to use up the tomatoes. It actually has been turning out really useful having unseasoned tomato sauce around, we've already got plenty of use from it, made a lovely pasta sauce for some mushroom raviolis just this week.
32-year-old Alan Rickman v Micheal Wincott quote there, I love it!
Please do these more generous experiments more often! Love that you had a “cheat”. This is my favorite series. Love all your videos though. 😊
When I was 16 I saw a really vibrant red flower and the scent from it was amazing. I had touched the plant and an hour later I had itchy welts on my hand and arm. Then by the end of my work shift that night my whole body was covered in them and needed to go to the hospital of tropical medicines. Still don't know what it was until this day so that was a learning experience
I was always hoping for something like this. My own 'cooking challenges' inspired by yours are just using whats available for the next day or two. Getting a lot of use out of those random sauce and seasoning packets laying around, plus old dry ramen cakes.
My heart dropped for you when you broke your egg........ it WAS looking absolutely wonderful... I do that all the time...D'oh!
Love love the Robin Hood Alan rickman quote 😂😂😂
Mushroom walks into a bar and says "3 fingers McAllen 25". Bartender says "We don't serve your kind round these parts", mushroom responds "Oh, come on! I'm a fungi!"
And you didn’t even cheat. Loved the video. For a cheat, I might have gone for an apricot jam omelette for dessert. Granted, after the pizza it might be a bit of overkill…
I regularly replace a portion of butter in my pastry dough with cheese, for example when making apple pies. I’ve never tried replacing ALL the butter but I guess-now that I know it works-I might try it!
Weird. I got a number notif for this video but it won't show up in my list of notifications when I open it. I only saw this when I opened my subscriptions tab.
Hi shrimp. I loved the foraging section at the beginning.
I really enjoy all of your food and cooking related segments. All the best :)
Don’t disparage “ cat food “ I remember back in the late 70s early 80s ads for such items being portrayed as delicious food for your animals but were priced for retired persons on a limited budget.
More recently I had a prison guard searching for a missing inmate finding food marked “ not for human consumption “ in a prison kitchen.
In the good old USA of course.
My friend across the pond, the soup and pizza look amazing! Will have to give them a try, thank you.
A can of burgers&baked beans. Just reminds me of camping.
From the man that seems to know everything and is always right - I've never heard of cheesy beans.
That's correct about Sweden we have the freedom to roam the land, it's called allemansrätten in Swedish and translates to All mans right.
I was trying to get some hazelnuts this year i have plenty of trees nearby and i went looking weekly to try and get some as ripe as possible but they were always too green and stuck on the branch and then one week all of sudden they were all gone : (. I'll grab some green ones next year and put on the window sill and see if that works
Shepperds purse grows all over Oklahoma, as well as Thornapple and the Wild Lettuces.
We have a ton of mushrooms. The Morels are very popular in the fall.
You would go nuts foragging in this area.
Well done.
You could also borrow from Sandwiches of History, and after you've given something a go, tried it, seen what it's all about, you're allowed to "plus up" the meal by adding whatever you want.
Here are some things that this video has prompted me to research:
- The burgers are no longer made in Yorkshire, possibly now in Corby;
- Comparing the ingredient list of the current tinned burgers with the version in the previous AS video, the main difference seems to be that pork/chicken connective tissue is not mentioned in the newer version; and,
- Based on the Bank of England Inflation Calculator, the burgers should now cost £1.30 rather than £1.50.
