    I tried 2 whole ordinary eggs straight from the box in one drawer of the ninja and 2 slices of toast in the other drawer, 7 mins both on 200 and perfect boiled eggs and soldiers! Air fryers are brilliant 👏

  • @wildgooseman7047
    @wildgooseman7047 Год назад +4

    £2 for the fish fingers and chips is a decent price. Looking at the basics ranges for Asda, Sainsbury and Tesco, they would all cost £1.20 for the cheapest fish fingers alone. Pick a Non basic brand, say the Supermarket own main label and they alone would cost more than £2 for 16. A nice find and very good price.

    @maggiedoor6093 Год назад +2

    Really enjoyed this , I always learn lots I'm a vinegar, then salt but I lift fries up to do underneath first. Sometimes there are times when you have to eat simple , cheaper food to stretch the budget . Your fish sticks do look like fish , we get minced fishing ours! $8 for 12. I've never tasted pie and mash, and I know none of my family has. It's put on the list for our next visit home.

    Great review . Harrington did have one in Wandsworth road. I liked it better then then the one in tooting. Yes there was also a pie n mash shop in Wandsworth bridge road. Which we used when we moved to Wandsworth.. Also there was one in Earlsfield in the 70s .

  • @toniswift6058
    @toniswift6058 Год назад +3

    Hi Sharon and Martin, I didn't think either of those meals looked too sad. The pastry on the pie looked good but the absolute bargain has to be the fish fingers and chips for £2.00. I do the same as you Martin, salt, vinegar and then more salt. As you said, Sharon home cooked food is better but something like that as a quick meal is worth having in the freezer for the chance of unexpected guests turning up.

  • @emmajane2099
    @emmajane2099 Год назад +2

    I grew up on pie mash, I'm from the East End, I now live in Portugal. You can get Robin's frozen pie mash. It is good and very similar. I think it's made by Robins in the East End anyway. Expensive and not a lot in the box. So dont bother😂

  • @jennigee51

    I love your videos so much, so I’m hoping you’ll help me with something Martin, we sometimes misquote sayings, but we mostly only misquote them when they were misquoted to us! “The proof is in the pudding” is actually “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”

    Cook`s had pie and mash shops in the 50`s in the east end,I lived in East Ham and as a kid used to watch a guy in an open

  • @cazzyweb
    @cazzyweb Год назад +1

    I like that you also review ready meals - when you look at them in the shops you have no idea if any good do you? Sometimes there is a need for a ready meal. Not everyone has time to prepare and cook a meal at home and also like me on Saturday, it's a night off cooking treat as my other half will be away!

  • @laurahayward1906
    @laurahayward1906 Год назад +1

    Another great video, thanks both! Martin- I thought I was the only one who does salt, vinegar and salt again! Those meals are fantastic value and its good to know that some cheaper options can be tasty. One a completely separate topic, Sharon, your hair colour really suits you, thought it looked especially nice in this video
    Take care both x

    I'm not a big fan of ready meals but this here didn't look bad at all. Like you said, it's not for everyday but on a bad-hair-day when you are so fed up and tired, just put it in the air fryer and have a filling meal. Nothing wrong with that. I like these videos because you guys are absolutely honest in your judgement. Thank you and have a nice week. 🙋🏻‍♀

    Cooks pie and mash shop was in Dalston junction. Now shut .I use to go there to pick up pie and mash for me and my brother in law. He always asked for double liquor. Cooks shop window used to be open and they had live eels for sale. You picked your eels and he prepared them for you. Long gone but there is a manzies pie and mash shop in Hoddesdon Hertfordshire.

    Here in NZ I can honestly say I have never heard of Pie & Mash with Eel of fish sauce or whatever, I could be wrong it may be here but it would cost a fortune as it would have to be imported. Our fish fingers are crap, cheap crumbed fish, Chili vinegar too, god you guys are spoilt, must be time to move 🤣🤣
