Something to try is a "Bookmaker's Sandwich" - originally Irish but available in England too. Made of sliced bread, or a bread roll, or soda bread, with thin steak, horseradish or mustard, onions, and possibly mushrooms. I've also had a spectacular version in the Scilly Isles with French Fries in the sandwich too.
A few notes from 'over the pond' (and you did do a great job and those PIES are amazing). Chips... if you are double frying rather than triple cooking (blanch in simmering water and then cool and move on) then the first fry should be cooler - probably 270F? (130C) and the clue to when they are 'done' is when the fat stops bubbling a lot. The goal at that stage is to drive water out of the potato so when you do the high temp finishing fry they can develop a really crisp ---almost glasslike - outer. Easier to do if you blanch and leave to steam. Mushy peas. To be honest we mostly buy them canned (easy to find) but they do start from a marrowfat pea (if I recall) and have baking soda added which kinda funks up the flavour. The curry sauce is kinda a chinese or japanese Katsu sauce variant. If you really want to make it from scratch then I think it involves apples and even raisins. I've done it (no raisins) and honestly the fast track is a pre-prepared Katsu block or powder.
SAM: I grew up in a chippy in the north of England and have lived in the States since 1990. A couple of tips: 1) Take whole onion and slice about 1/3". Keep it whole and don't pull the segments apart so you have a solid onion ring. Batter that and deep fry. You will LOVE the result. 2) You could have used some leftover pastry to make a sausage roll. 3) same pastry recipe, but add beef suet. Suet is rendered down so it is pure, you're not looking for beef tallow, it's different than something like lard. You can get it online. Use it instead of butter. Make your pie in a larger bowl, put a foil cover on it and tie it off. Then steam it in a pan of boiling water. You will be amazed at the result. Use same beef as you put in the pie you made. 4) You can also take the same dried peas you use to make pea soup. Soak overnight and add a bit of bicarb of soda. Drain and then cook in a pan. That gets you close to the mushy peas. 5) A good brown beef gravy is actually more popular that the curry sauce.
Growing up in Maine, we adopted salt and vinegar on crinkle cut fries as our own even if it’s Canadian. I’ve never heard of this vinegar powder. What a game changer!
Many UK families have a roast meat (Chicken/Beef/Pork) dinner on Sunday. The leftovers (veg + roasties + gravy) get cold but next day, you mash them together & fry it “hard” so there’s a firm crust. Cut in the veg pieces & continue to turn over. We’re talking 30 mins plus of continuous movement - think fried rice in a wok. We call it Bubble & Squeak because of the noise it makes when the steam escapes. That alone is gorgeous. But then…Put your leftover cold roast meat in a pan with more leftover gravy to reheat and pair with the Bubble. Gorgeous. But then…Any spare bubble can go cold, cut up into small cakes & pair with Bacon, Sausage & Beans for an English Breakfast.
Hey Sam - mildly vexed that you forgot to mention the Welsh viewers, but I'll overlook it ;) You also inadvertently made a favourite from 30 or more years ago which don't get a look in any more. The fallen drops of batter as you cooked the sausages used to be called "Scraps", "Scrumps" or simply just "Batter-Bits" - scooped out of the hot oil, drained and seasoned and served to the younger customers as a treat. Thanks, keep up the great work and my compliments of the Yuletide season.
We weren’t keeping it a secret Sam, it’s just that the rest of the world tends to make fun of our food! Absolutely love your passion for our food (and all food for that matter)! Thanks for another great video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
They batter everything here in scotland, pizza, sausage, black pudding, haggis, potato slices(fritters), hamburgers, a McRib thing called a king rib, mars bars. The scotland fans even serenaded the italians in rome with a song "we're gonna deep fry your pizza's" It's on youtube somewhere 😂 In Northern Ireland there is a thing called belfast pastie. Basically mashed potato pork onions shaped into a hockey puck shape and battered. Delicious, and it's the first thing I get when I am back home. 2nd thing is an Ulster Fry 👍 Also our sausages that the chippys use are just bog standard pork catering sausages. Some places will use cumberland or lincolnshire ones but they are rare as hens teeth.
@@2009kpc Bounty, Snickers, Double Decker etc. used to be on the menu in my local chippy. Now if you want one, you need to bring them in with you. A bit hard if you want a delivery though 🤣🤣
Happy Holidays Sam! Thanks for all the great cooking ideas this year. You guys are consistently the best/most entertaining cooking channel on RUclips! Cheers!
Sam-- in Scotland - you must try Battered pizza supper. Haggis supper. And a Pickled egg on the side. Chips cheese and coleslaw. All with "special" chippie broon sauce (a deep dive if you want to make your own!), used to get my mate to bring me some from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Festive greetings from the west coast of Scotland.
@mightypotter795 I do watch him regularly, the video you're referring to is 5 years old and I haven't been watching that long, alas, he should of known better then 😅
I would say good for the most part. The pie needed much richer, darker gravy, the peas HAVE to be Marrowfat peas (TOTALY different flavour) and the sausage batter should be equal parts (by volume) Eggs, Plain flour and MILK (same as a proper Yorkshire pudding batter mix) and use a bamboo skewer to pick em up and put into the fat. Love the vid as always and regularly using my STCG towels!!
Pie needs more gravy and there’s a knack in eating a pie in your hand and you don’t cut it in half first. Take a bite to let the steam out, blow to cool, and then take another bite and be prepared to catch the filling. It’s a skill.
Where Texas and Louisiana meet there’s Tex-Mex and Cajun fusion food restaurant chain. Tia Juanita’s seafood quesadillas, nachos, tacos seasoned with Cajun spices and flowing with Queso. My favorite is the enchiladas, scallops, crawfish, and shrimp cascading with Queso. Also the oysters are great, as are the gator tacos and massive margaritas!
Amazing! In Scotland you get Fritters, big slices of potato in batter, haggis and black pudding (blood sausage) all in batter. Glasgow traditional is Salt and Vinegar…..East coast of Scotland ‘salt and sauce’…….sauce is ‘chippie’ sauce, kinda like HP sauce that’s been vinegared down……food of the gods!!
Great video. Always loved the content. In Ireland a breakfast roll is common when your working on the building sites but the ingredients has to be good black and white pudding. All the best.
Yeah mushy peas is usually from canned marrowfat peas. You could try making a potato scallop. And northern chip shops have rag-pudding. Also sounds like you need some Welsh friends. I'm not Welsh, but make sure you know about Welsh Rarebit, Welsh Potato cakes, and Glamorgan Sausage
You probably wouldnt use a cumberland for a battered sausage, you would use a Saveloy (apparently they are similar to red hots or red snappers from maine). If you are looking for traditional British food, bubble and squeak is one we make with leftovers from a sunday roast or christmas dinner, then maybe yorkshire puddings. Food always looks delicipous the way you make iot though dude!
Sorry Sam, but you are double missing out. Aussie chip shops sell the battered sav (saveloy) also, but we have potato scallops (or potato cakes depending on the state). Slice of potato, dunked in batter and fried till crispy. Served with chicken salt, and bloody delicious.
Great work, Sammy, Maxi and Chancey 🙂 Mushy peas need a squirt of malt vinegar and the chips and bangers should be dipped in tomato sauce (ketchup to you lot) and a squirt of tomato sauce on the pie should be mandatory 👍🙂
going over there sounds like a good oppurtunity to make a collab with Jolly or Sorted Food. Both are English channels around food and might be a nice collab, couldn't wait to see Sam make a sub 10 min Burger if he gets the Sorted challenge :p
@sam Omg your missing out ! In Scotland we do battered black pudding battered haggis and in certain parts a battered deep fried pizza ! All of these will change your life also shorten it maybe haha thank me later ! X
Looks great. Only observation is that the peas are maybe more viscous than I would expect, but still good. I live in scotland (the chippies there will fry anything) and my go to order is a battered haggis, chips and curry sauce. I don't think you could manage that in the US as haggis is banned.
I'm Scottish, You need to try red pudding and haggis pudding. Delicious!!! Both are battered btw also drench either in brown sauce else you don't get the proper experience
You should try make the "spiedo alla bresciana", a very particular kind of charcoal rotisserie from northern Italy. It's made from different kind of meats and it's slow cooked and constantly basted with tons o butter
You should make a video about different kinds of fish for either fish and chips or fish tacos! Do a comparison for what fish is the best, some to highly recommend is perch, crappie, walleye then whatever you decide. Been watching hrs of your videos and love them! My parents told me about you and they watch you all the time! Keep up the great cooking and don’t change.
If you can get it from an Irish or foreign food section, get "McDonnell's curry sauce powder". Even easier curry sauce closer to an Irish chipper. Make curry chips with that, optionally with cheese. - breakfast roll (look up Irish breakfast roll) - Irish chicken roll. Breaded chicken with or without spices (always with spices) -bangers and mash, go as fancy as you like with sausages. - for colder days, make a Guinness Irish stew, meat of choice but lamb would be amazing, otherwise beef. Mince and onion pie looks delicious
The Old Spaghetti Factory makes a clam white wine alfredo (over spaghetti noodles) which is very nice in the colder months. Would like to see your take, maybe with some additional shellfish added. Another one I'd like to see is a spicy thai green curry with beef, bamboo shoots, eggplant, bell pepper
I love this community ❤ Thank You to everyone who took the time to share all their thoughts and recipes ❤ it is greatly appreciated. Much love and blessings to everyone.
In hull england we have something called a Pattie. Literally only hull and places with a hull postcode sell these. Everywere else gives you a fish cake or a fritter of some kind. Its basically a sage and onion potato mix battered and fried.
We’d love to tell you about the Saveloy, but truth is we don’t know what’s in those either! Oh, and the pies in my neck of the woods are called Pukka Pies and have a suet pastry base. But yours did look good!
the pie-floater was all the rage here in Adelaide Australia, a beef pie in pea soup with loads of tomato sauce on top, served from a caravan back in the 80's after a big night out was the bomb. also took one home for breakfast.
Love your channel from London with love.. however pie needs more gravy and normally a battered sausage is made with a savaloy sausage. Cumberland is a national sausage mainly up north but savaloy deep fried is the way to go. Love to the family
We never mentioned it as it’s not something we’re overly proud of, it’s very rarely a good quality Cumberland sausage, yours looks way better than most! buuut to be picky, traditional chippy’s will use Beef Fat in the fryers, game changer 👌
Chips done in dripping are massively superior, but it's hard to find a chippie still using it. All the ones near me (down south) fry in veg oil so they can claim to be Halal.
Currywurst - Please make your take on Currywurst, its not quite British, but it is a very delicious street food I tried in Germany. Red Curry sauce, sausage, fries its wonderful!
Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta An exacta requires picking the first two finishers in order, a trifecta requires predicting the first three, and a superfecta requires picking the first four horses to cross the finish line.
Like the video but have you tried a battered pineapple ring? Might sound strange but they taste absolutely amazing and nearly all fish ‘n’ chips shops in the UK sell them. I will definitely try your frying recipes sometime soon. Happy New Year to you and your family 🇬🇧
people i know have been sleeping on putting soy sauce in there mince, makes them super tender and brings out more juice/flavour i find....another one to try is a pie butty. beef and onion pie on a cob/bread roll/barncake dependant on where your from lol with some red sauce/ketchup
Sam, the chicken fillet roll is an Irish national treasure. Nothing keeps ya goin' when you're near empty like a chicken fillet roll. It's a fried chicken breast, sliced thin, with cheese, leafy greens, peppers, onions, sage and onion stuffing, and whatever else is at the deli counter, all inside a French baguette. A simple sandwich executed perfectly. You'd usually get 'em at the delis, but after leaving Ireland I still make them for myself at home on those particularly hard days.
Stuffing in a chicken fillet roll? Nah. Taco sauce/mayo/butter, chicken fillet, cheese, lettuce, onion and tomatoes are the traditonal ingredients inside a baguette. I don't like cheese so that's out the window but gimme all the veg, chicken and a spicy sauce with a mayo and that's it for me. You're making me want one now!
Mushy peas should be made with marrowfat peas. Not sure what the American equivalent is. Curry sauce looked decent enough. Honestly the only thing missing from that was probably MSG. The pie really good. Top marks for that. No comment on the battered sausage!
Sam I live in a little old place called Hull, UK. it's the only place in the country that has something called a pattie. Which is basically potato and herbs fried in batter like the sausage. Check it out. It's great 😊
My childhood local chippy, sold Saveloy's, Battered Sausage, Battered Beefburger, Beef & Onion Pies, Chicken & Mushroom Pies, Scallops, Cods Roe Cakes, Fish Cakes, Baked Beans, Gravy, Curry Sauce, Sausage Rolls, Faggots, Pickled Onions, Pickle Eggs, along with the usual selection of Fish and Chips.
I was in Hastings in summer 1981, and I LOVED the battered sausage at the local chippie. Unforgettable. More than 40 years later, I still crave them from time to time. Thank you for giving them a moment. ❤
Guys , Google Harry Ramsdens battered sausages , you can but them on line. Other Chippy staples are fishcakes made in house, Saveloys, and in Scotland they make battered black and white ( Hogs ) puddings , Good Luck :0(
Liverpool chippy, normally Chinese owned. We order a fishcake ( potato beaten with a tad of mint, erm no fish) dipped in batter then fried while the lad in the back turbo woks special curry, 4 types of meat, with bamboo shoots, water chestnut , onions and all the rest, served half and half, half rice half chips. I'm 20 years in Spain, this is one of the only things I miss. Love your channel Sam, kev in Spain.
In Australia they are called savs in batter, we also have hamburger in batter and dim Sims in batter. All are amazing. I think everything is better with batter.
My local chippy makes something called Freddies. Corn tortilla, chopped lettuce and cabbage, battered sausage then covered with some sweet chilli sauce. ❤
How about Steak and kidney pie (you don't do much offal on your channel).. cut of beef is 2cm cubed Beef Chuck and use lamb kidneys chopped in half. Slow cook in beef stock with onions for 3 hrs, thicken gravy and then fill the pie as you did on this video. hold the gravy back from the pie... once pie cooked pour a little of the gravy in the hole in the top of the pie slowly then use gravy over pie when on the plate.. serve with buttery mash.
No mention so far of the classic Scotch pie (case made from water pastry - different to short crust) with a minced mutton filling with various spices. It’s a Scottish classic - “Gie’s a pie supper mister an’ a can o’ Irn BRU!
how about the national dish of the UK, it was Chicken Tikka Masala but Chicken Jalfrezi seems to be taking over as our palates are able to deal with a little more heat - for the authentic approach you need to follow a British Indian Restaurant (BIR) recipe - if you have eaten at a curry place and the meal arrived in 10 minutes, then its probably a BIR recipe.... do your research for the base gravy and you will open a can of recipes for all things BIR. This cooking style was introduced by Bangladeshi cooks in the UK and exploded for home cooks in lock down as we missed our Indian take away so much - give it a go please!! have a curry month in the new year!! curries of the world! you did one for smash burgers.....
Here in Hull,East Yorkshire we have potato patties?that's mashed potato with sage in it made into a disc about 3"across and 3/4"thick then battered and deep fried👍beautiful?from BIGMICK IN HULL IN THE UK 🇬🇧
Sam, Vancouver guy here my wife's from Leeds Yorkshire and yes she says worcester not worcestershire sauce. Also the peas they use are dried marrowfat peas with baking soda added when soaking. I grew up calling the chips chips not french fries, french fries are those's frozen McDonald"s type crap. And the the English crisps potato chips. Mind you I'm an old fart baby boomer so maybe that's the difference. By the way love your show keep up the good work.
Glorious episode gents. Seeing those sausages made me think: any plans or thoughts for venison recipes? My family and I are avid hunters, and venison is a delicious lean meat. Would love to know your plans for the future. Thank you and enjoy the holidays. Keep up the amazing videos!
You missed the opportunity - Deep Fried Mars Bar. Legend is a Chippie shop had a sign "We will deep fry anything". A kid walked in, pulled out a Mars bar and said "Could you deep fry this?" and they did. Turns out this is like a tempura battered candy bar that just oozes the melted chocklet and caramel.
Not sure if this has been posted yet but, keeping on the British Fish & Chip theme, have a look at a scallop. Not the little shell fish guys that go great with minted pea puree and bacon, but a deep fried battered potatoe slice. Do it, no regrets
Don't know about in the UK but here in Ireland chippers also sell a Wurly Burger, which is a battered burger. But i think a Spice Burger would be up your alley. You should check that out
Something to try is a "Bookmaker's Sandwich" - originally Irish but available in England too. Made of sliced bread, or a bread roll, or soda bread, with thin steak, horseradish or mustard, onions, and possibly mushrooms. I've also had a spectacular version in the Scilly Isles with French Fries in the sandwich too.

I've done it (no raisins) and honestly the fast track is a pre-prepared Katsu block or powder.
snore
saveloy sausage also for the batter sausage usually right

Cumberland sausage is basically pork sausage that is more coarse than minced, seasoned with different spices, herbs and a lot of black pepper
On the batter for the sausage, we normally use soda water (cold as possible), ale and flour. Results are incredible.
chippys use flour and water, nothing else.
@tam8197 Most chippys use batter mix and water. The good ones make their own batter, though.
Soda water is used in Tempura batter, not chip shop batter
We weren’t keeping it a secret Sam, it’s just that the rest of the world tends to make fun of our food! Absolutely love your passion for our food (and all food for that matter)! Thanks for another great video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Try making a Yorkshire Pudding Wrap, delicious and easy to make.
They batter everything here in scotland, pizza, sausage, black pudding, haggis, potato slices(fritters), hamburgers, a McRib thing called a king rib, mars bars. The scotland fans even serenaded the italians in rome with a song "we're gonna deep fry your pizza's" It's on youtube somewhere 😂

Battered anything with chips, salt and vinegar. Tastes fantastic. Hence the mars bar 😅
@@2009kpc Bounty, Snickers, Double Decker etc. used to be on the menu in my local chippy. Now if you want one, you need to bring them in with you. A bit hard if you want a delivery though 🤣🤣
BTW if you like a meat pie, you've got to try a steak and kidney pudding. Also try beef dripping (rendered beef fat) in the fryer instead of oil.
Steak and kidney pudding with suet pastry. 💯 percent
Happy Holidays Sam! Thanks for all the great cooking ideas this year. You guys are consistently the best/most entertaining cooking channel on RUclips! Cheers!

was going to suggest the same. not heard of chips cheese n coleslaw though. chips, cheese n curry sauce aye
Pizza crunch is the absolute bomb. I prefer it without the batter though - basically a normal cheap pizza but deep fried
William Wallace would approve
Battered pizza sounds interesting. Haggis sounds gross.
Haggis is fantastic. It sounds gross on paper but it's actually delicious@@jimv1983
I think you need to visit a UK fish and chip shop and then try and make it! 😂
H Salt Fish and Chips the best in San Diego and Westminster its real UK style owners are from London
Yea the best chippy is the local one, still giving the American a point for trying tho
I agree and it would make a great tax write-off.
If you watch Sam regularly you will see he’s been to a UK chippy in London.
@mightypotter795 I do watch him regularly, the video you're referring to is 5 years old and I haven't been watching that long, alas, he should of known better then 😅
I would say good for the most part. The pie needed much richer, darker gravy, the peas HAVE to be Marrowfat peas (TOTALY different flavour) and the sausage batter should be equal parts (by volume) Eggs, Plain flour and MILK (same as a proper Yorkshire pudding batter mix) and use a bamboo skewer to pick em up and put into the fat.

In Scotland you get Fritters, big slices of potato in batter, haggis and black pudding (blood sausage) all in batter.
Glasgow traditional is Salt and Vinegar…..East coast of Scotland ‘salt and sauce’…….sauce is ‘chippie’ sauce, kinda like HP sauce that’s been vinegared down……food of the gods!!
Great video. Always loved the content. In Ireland a breakfast roll is common when your working on the building sites but the ingredients has to be good black and white pudding. All the best.
Black and white pudding will be difficult in America but definitely worth it
Hahaha absolutely love that you’ve done this. You need to come over for a chippy tour. You’d love it.
Don’t know much about British food from here in Texas… but this looks like the freakin bomb! The onion and beef pie especially..
It’s nice, but steak & ale pie is so much better!
Go to Austin dude ! Lots of 🇬🇧 restaurants and grocery stores
Hey Sam… love your channel. Greetings from the uk 😊. Another chip shop staple is the scallop… spoiler alert… it’s not seafood 😮
Yeah mushy peas is usually from canned marrowfat peas.
You could try making a potato scallop.
And northern chip shops have rag-pudding.
Also sounds like you need some Welsh friends. I'm not Welsh, but make sure you know about Welsh Rarebit, Welsh Potato cakes, and Glamorgan Sausage
Oh! And you are missing a Scotch Pie! The case is tougher and smoother and so freaking gooood
You probably wouldnt use a cumberland for a battered sausage, you would use a Saveloy (apparently they are similar to red hots or red snappers from maine). If you are looking for traditional British food, bubble and squeak is one we make with leftovers from a sunday roast or christmas dinner, then maybe yorkshire puddings.
Food always looks delicipous the way you make iot though dude!
My daughter and I watch religiously… and have made several dishes. Thanks for making it professional and fun!
Sorry Sam, but you are double missing out. Aussie chip shops sell the battered sav (saveloy) also, but we have potato scallops (or potato cakes depending on the state). Slice of potato, dunked in batter and fried till crispy. Served with chicken salt, and bloody delicious.
The whole world is missing out on our chicken salt.
Great work, Sammy, Maxi and Chancey 🙂 Mushy peas need a squirt of malt vinegar and the chips and bangers should be dipped in tomato sauce (ketchup to you lot) and a squirt of tomato sauce on the pie should be mandatory 👍🙂

Something you find in some Chippys in the UK is a battered mars bar ( Milky Way or 3 musketeers in the USA) Yes a battered chocolate/candy bar!
@sam Omg your missing out ! In Scotland we do battered black pudding battered haggis and in certain parts a battered deep fried pizza ! All of these will change your life also shorten it maybe haha thank me later ! X
Looks great. Only observation is that the peas are maybe more viscous than I would expect, but still good. I live in scotland (the chippies there will fry anything) and my go to order is a battered haggis, chips and curry sauce. I don't think you could manage that in the US as haggis is banned.
Happy holidays, maybe more Scottish, but try pizza crunch! Battered deep fried cheep pizza.😋
I'm Scottish, You need to try red pudding and haggis pudding. Delicious!!! Both are battered btw also drench either in brown sauce else you don't get the proper experience
You should try make the "spiedo alla bresciana", a very particular kind of charcoal rotisserie from northern Italy. It's made from different kind of meats and it's slow cooked and constantly basted with tons o butter

If you can get it from an Irish or foreign food section, get "McDonnell's curry sauce powder".
Even easier curry sauce closer to an Irish chipper.
Make curry chips with that, optionally with cheese.
- breakfast roll (look up Irish breakfast roll)
- Irish chicken roll. Breaded chicken with or without spices (always with spices)
-bangers and mash, go as fancy as you like with sausages.
- for colder days, make a Guinness Irish stew, meat of choice but lamb would be amazing, otherwise beef.
Mince and onion pie looks delicious
Another great video, Sam. I'm still waiting on my full English breakfast burrito. Maybe I'll have that Guy guy do it. Nah....You the Man! ❤
Need to try a Yorkshire fishcake (fish fillet sandwiched between potato scallops, battered and deep fried) 😉
The Old Spaghetti Factory makes a clam white wine alfredo (over spaghetti noodles) which is very nice in the colder months. Would like to see your take, maybe with some additional shellfish added.
Another one I'd like to see is a spicy thai green curry with beef, bamboo shoots, eggplant, bell pepper
That Pampered chef mix and chop is one of the best inventions ever
I love this community ❤ Thank You to everyone who took the time to share all their thoughts and recipes ❤ it is greatly appreciated. Much love and blessings to everyone.
Put that pie in a barm (roll, WHITE bread) and you got yourself a "Pie Barm", dip that in some gravy and you're cooking Sam
As a northerner, it's called a Wigan pasty.
UK north west? Greater Manchester?🙂
You can get Cumberland and other UK style sausages from Jolly Posh stateside
I’ve suggested it before, chicken Chasni a curry originating from Glasgow and chicken pakora with pink pakora sauce.
In Australia we have battered sav which is saveloy sausage cut in half then battered with a thumb mark where the sav was held
I love to use "flavor powders"...there is even a "W" Sauce powder on the market, I make my mushroom powders with my freeze dried mushrooms.
It is so refreshing that you don't swear or cuss. I dig you show
Great work Sam! Now, if you battered and then fried the pie you would truly reach the highest echelons of British fast food! Love your channel.
Well Sam in Denmark part of it is called mill. beef. Served with mashed potatoes and pickled beetroot.
In hull england we have something called a Pattie. Literally only hull and places with a hull postcode sell these. Everywere else gives you a fish cake or a fritter of some kind.
Its basically a sage and onion potato mix battered and fried.
We’d love to tell you about the Saveloy, but truth is we don’t know what’s in those either! Oh, and the pies in my neck of the woods are called Pukka Pies and have a suet pastry base. But yours did look good!
😂 not only in the UK but this is also in Australia. You got to try a deep fried Mars Bar or Snickers Bar as well for desert.
the pie-floater was all the rage here in Adelaide Australia, a beef pie in pea soup with loads of tomato sauce on top, served from a caravan back in the 80's after a big night out was the bomb. also took one home for breakfast.
home made thick cut chips are absolute BANGING
Love your channel from London with love.. however pie needs more gravy and normally a battered sausage is made with a savaloy sausage. Cumberland is a national sausage mainly up north but savaloy deep fried is the way to go. Love to the family
We never mentioned it as it’s not something we’re overly proud of, it’s very rarely a good quality Cumberland sausage, yours looks way better than most! buuut to be picky, traditional chippy’s will use Beef Fat in the fryers, game changer 👌
Chips done in dripping are massively superior, but it's hard to find a chippie still using it. All the ones near me (down south) fry in veg oil so they can claim to be Halal.
Currywurst - Please make your take on Currywurst, its not quite British, but it is a very delicious street food I tried in Germany. Red Curry sauce, sausage, fries its wonderful!
Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta
An exacta requires picking the first two finishers in order, a trifecta requires predicting the first three, and a superfecta requires picking the first four horses to cross the finish line.
Like the video but have you tried a battered pineapple ring? Might sound strange but they taste absolutely amazing and nearly all fish ‘n’ chips shops in the UK sell them. I will definitely try your frying recipes sometime soon. Happy New Year to you and your family 🇬🇧
No Fish shop that I've been to sells battered pineapple Rings. What part of the country are you from? I'm going to say down south
There’s another sausage variety available in chippies called a saveloy. It’s a bit like a spicy hot dog sausage
people i know have been sleeping on putting soy sauce in there mince, makes them super tender and brings out more juice/flavour i find....another one to try is a pie butty. beef and onion pie on a cob/bread roll/barncake dependant on where your from lol with some red sauce/ketchup
Sam, the chicken fillet roll is an Irish national treasure. Nothing keeps ya goin' when you're near empty like a chicken fillet roll. It's a fried chicken breast, sliced thin, with cheese, leafy greens, peppers, onions, sage and onion stuffing, and whatever else is at the deli counter, all inside a French baguette. A simple sandwich executed perfectly. You'd usually get 'em at the delis, but after leaving Ireland I still make them for myself at home on those particularly hard days.
Stuffing in a chicken fillet roll? Nah. Taco sauce/mayo/butter, chicken fillet, cheese, lettuce, onion and tomatoes are the traditonal ingredients inside a baguette. I don't like cheese so that's out the window but gimme all the veg, chicken and a spicy sauce with a mayo and that's it for me. You're making me want one now!
Mushy peas should be made with marrowfat peas. Not sure what the American equivalent is. Curry sauce looked decent enough. Honestly the only thing missing from that was probably MSG. The pie really good. Top marks for that. No comment on the battered sausage!
Also, Sam, my ma-in-law (from Italy) has a mean Italian "gravy" with habeneros; would love to see your take that one on!
Chippies generally use lower quality sausages but if you like battered sausage, you need to try a spam fritter
Sam I live in a little old place called Hull, UK. it's the only place in the country that has something called a pattie. Which is basically potato and herbs fried in batter like the sausage. Check it out. It's great 😊
Belfast pastie is similar potato, minced pork, onions then battered
I tried one of these in Cleethorpes from the pier chippie. Worst thing I’ve ever tasted 😊
@@deanokay666 it wasn't cooked correctly then 😂😂
Gotta love ull lol 😆
@@openm2ke_810 it gets a bad rep for no reason, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else
Btw, I have a suggestion for a future video:
Make your favourite filet mignon 🥩+sauce recipes (3 ways) !
Greetings from San Diego California 😚
My childhood local chippy, sold Saveloy's, Battered Sausage, Battered Beefburger, Beef & Onion Pies, Chicken & Mushroom Pies, Scallops, Cods Roe Cakes, Fish Cakes, Baked Beans, Gravy, Curry Sauce, Sausage Rolls, Faggots, Pickled Onions, Pickle Eggs, along with the usual selection of Fish and Chips.
I was in Hastings in summer 1981, and I LOVED the battered sausage at the local chippie. Unforgettable. More than 40 years later, I still crave them from time to time. Thank you for giving them a moment. ❤
Gotta love Sam talking to his food lol. Also a lot of fish and chips shops I used to go to, the vinegar was in a spritz bottle so nothing got mushy.
We ate in a cafe in a small town in Ireland and they served a vinegar spritzer with their chips. Brilliant!
You need to make the Pattie, it’s a Scottish Chip Shop delicacy, specifically the Orkney Islands. Type in Orkney Pattie for recipes!
Guys , Google Harry Ramsdens battered sausages , you can but them on line. Other Chippy staples are fishcakes made in house, Saveloys, and in Scotland they make battered black and white ( Hogs ) puddings , Good Luck :0(
My dinner last night. But with a Steak and Kidney pie and a Saveloy. Soooo good
Liverpool chippy, normally Chinese owned. We order a fishcake ( potato beaten with a tad of mint, erm no fish) dipped in batter then fried while the lad in the back turbo woks special curry, 4 types of meat, with bamboo shoots, water chestnut , onions and all the rest, served half and half, half rice half chips. I'm 20 years in Spain, this is one of the only things I miss. Love your channel Sam, kev in Spain.
In Australia they are called savs in batter, we also have hamburger in batter and dim Sims in batter. All are amazing. I think everything is better with batter.
My local chippy makes something called Freddies. Corn tortilla, chopped lettuce and cabbage, battered sausage then covered with some sweet chilli sauce. ❤
My Irish grandmother would make this meat mixture & serve with mashed potatoes for a quick & easy lunch. Delicious! Thanks Sam
How about Steak and kidney pie (you don't do much offal on your channel).. cut of beef is 2cm cubed Beef Chuck and use lamb kidneys chopped in half. Slow cook in beef stock with onions for 3 hrs, thicken gravy and then fill the pie as you did on this video. hold the gravy back from the pie... once pie cooked pour a little of the gravy in the hole in the top of the pie slowly then use gravy over pie when on the plate.. serve with buttery mash.
*SUPER VIDEO SAM!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!*
You're missing out on all the best Scottish chippy favourites. Pizza crunch, black pudding supper, haggis supper and king rib
Normally in the North of England we have the Triple, which is Mushy Peas, Curry Sauce and Beef Gravy. Another great episode Chaps.
No mention so far of the classic Scotch pie (case made from water pastry - different to short crust) with a minced mutton filling with various spices. It’s a Scottish classic - “Gie’s a pie supper mister an’ a can o’ Irn BRU!
Goosh! Excited that you have risen above crushed potato chip recipes!
Another thing to try is a potato pie. Not sure if you can get it in UK but we have it in Ireland. It’s like battered mashed potatoes deep fried. Epic!
how about the national dish of the UK, it was Chicken Tikka Masala but Chicken Jalfrezi seems to be taking over as our palates are able to deal with a little more heat - for the authentic approach you need to follow a British Indian Restaurant (BIR) recipe - if you have eaten at a curry place and the meal arrived in 10 minutes, then its probably a BIR recipe.... do your research for the base gravy and you will open a can of recipes for all things BIR. This cooking style was introduced by Bangladeshi cooks in the UK and exploded for home cooks in lock down as we missed our Indian take away so much - give it a go please!! have a curry month in the new year!! curries of the world! you did one for smash burgers.....
Base gravy is a game changer
Here in Hull,East Yorkshire we have potato patties?that's mashed potato with sage in it made into a disc about 3"across and 3/4"thick then battered and deep fried👍beautiful?from BIGMICK IN HULL IN THE UK 🇬🇧
In Scotland they have a batterd Mars bar that's wot u should try guys .merry Christmas to you all
Haven’t been here in a while you inspired me to start cooking ! Best skill I have learned so thank you
I mean I love the idea but you could maybe come up with one in the meantime....?
@@latinkas1ify huh
@sweptdown4264 I think I was replying to you and talking to my son and typed my response to him to you🤣🤣🤣.... I'm sorry!
Got to try the chicken balti pie staple at the chippy and the football especially with a cup of Bovril with a pinch of pepper👍 🏴
When I find a good English pub I will definitely order this! What a great meal. 🎉😎
For Fish and Chips you want to go to a proper chippy and not a pub.
The best place would be a chippy. Just get a bunch of everything.
@@michaelscott7166ya, but we don't have "chippys" in the US, but we do have some "English pubs" where there's a chance they'd serve this.
@@LiqdPTeven an English pub in England serving up fish n chips will be lame! Chippy is the one only unfortunately
Sam, Vancouver guy here my wife's from Leeds Yorkshire and yes she says worcester not worcestershire sauce. Also the peas they use are dried marrowfat peas with baking soda added when soaking. I grew up calling the chips chips not french fries, french fries are those's frozen McDonald"s type crap. And the the English crisps potato chips. Mind you I'm an old fart baby boomer so maybe that's the difference. By the way love your show keep up the good work.
Batter should only be flour water salt pepper and vinegar can be some variation with flour and beer instead of water but no egg.
Aussie meat pie which has many fillings. It can be chicken and veg or steak and onion. But you must do a aussie hamburger with the lot.
Decent effort that lads! Cheers for all the vids of 2023, Merry Christmas from NE England! 🎅🍻🎉🍾🥳
Glorious episode gents. Seeing those sausages made me think: any plans or thoughts for venison recipes? My family and I are avid hunters, and venison is a delicious lean meat. Would love to know your plans for the future. Thank you and enjoy the holidays. Keep up the amazing videos!
You missed the opportunity - Deep Fried Mars Bar. Legend is a Chippie shop had a sign "We will deep fry anything". A kid walked in, pulled out a Mars bar and said "Could you deep fry this?" and they did. Turns out this is like a tempura battered candy bar that just oozes the melted chocklet and caramel.
Not sure if this has been posted yet but, keeping on the British Fish & Chip theme, have a look at a scallop. Not the little shell fish guys that go great with minted pea puree and bacon, but a deep fried battered potatoe slice. Do it, no regrets
Do a classic Scottish chippy dish next, a pizza cruch. Basic cheese pizza, then battered and deep-fried in halves or quarters.
Straight from the freezer to the fryer too
The curry sauce is more chinese version than anything.. add ginger and garlic paste at the start with some five spice
Don't know about in the UK but here in Ireland chippers also sell a Wurly Burger, which is a battered burger.
But i think a Spice Burger would be up your alley. You should check that out
