If you scrape a flower mesh sieve across the top of the butter, it will fluff it up and make it soft. Easy to spread. It's a good little hack. Give it a try!
They both had a white residue which is water content used to bulk out the bacon. The very best bacon is dry cured. Dry cured NAKED bacon is nitrates free as well 👍
@@vampdiva6878 Aye Diva i'd be Dead alreet Lol coming back with the Shopping with a Whopping Bill 😂🤣 wi aye am sound Thanks Diva and hope you are too 😊
Personally, I've not been able to enjoy HP sauce since they changed the recipe after Heinz bought it. There are guides online about how to make it in the old style (used to be mostly apple and onion based before Heinz made it tomato based) so I may try making a home-made HP one day. Great video guys
Hi Keith & Nat expensive 1 looked nice but I would just buy the basic 1 as there was a big price difference.. Thanks again for another great video from Anne & Garry ❤
Thanks for the review Keith, somewhere in between for me. I had a home made BLT lunchtime, Warbourtons thick toastie bread, co-op smoked back bacon done to a crisp in the air fryer, lettuce, toms and mayo, yum yum, middle of the road I’d say but very very tasty. Nat doesn’t seem too good, hope she’s coping ❤
A good honest, and down to earth review and comparison, where are you originally from keith? I see you around Litchfield area's in your videos, but your accent reminds me of when i lived Smethwick/bearwood area.
Ive no doubt the expensive bacon will be the best, but even a cheap bacon sandwhich is always awesome. I always have heinze ketchup on a basic bacon butty, but would now add cheese and cherry tomatoes instead.
1. Toast the cheap Aldi bread slightly, it helps with the slight stale taste. 2. Get HP Sauce instead of Aldi Bramwells it will last you ages and is worth paying more for because of the taste is superior and a good brown sauce can make or break a bacon sandwich Do those 2 things and it will still be cheap (you are just paying slightly more for the HP Brown Sauce but sometimes in life you get what you pay for and it's worth it). If you want thicker bacon just use 2 of the Aldi bacon rashers.. much cheaper as you get 10 rashers in a packet as opposed to just 7 from the butcher... no difference! But much cheaper cost
Hello It's Keith n Nat 😊 WOW the Price Comparison is Scandalous 😱 i think at the end of the day everyone would agree the better quality items would be the much better alternative, but that is shocking how much difference their is in the prices and it seems we are being pushed to buy the much cheaper products, over 4 quid for that loaf WOW Crazy and it has to be Brown Sauce all day long on a Bacon Butty 100%
Great vs off vid I love bacon 🥓 sandwich 🥪 it probably would be better if u did supermarket cheapest vs brand item like Danish bacon wartburton bread butter clover etc in butter and hp sauce cause most of the butchers have closed down thanks Keith
I buy everthing from lidl, brown sauce and butter from lidle I thought was OK. But that bacon from the butcher looked delicious. I will be buying some bacon from the butcher next shop.
I always get the HP and the Kerry Gold. They will last, as you say. And the Kerry Gold is grass-fed and much better for you. I like to get bacon and sausages from good butchers. The main variable then is the bread. Occasionally splurge on the bread or just use one you like. And there's the proverbial uncle.
I would have titled this high cost vs low cost as putting the word quality gives the impression that Aldi's equivalent is not good, and personally, i find most Aldi products to be good quality for money. Great video, though, Keith. You can't beat a bacon buttie 👍
Good experiment Keith, on the whole no matter what you buy you get what you pay for, but is everything worth it? I never buy cheap bread as it always tastes dry or stale, the bread is worth the extra but not the amount you paid you can get an excellent loaf for much less. I always use HP brown sauce, worth it, I would compromise a little on the bacon as once again you can get good bacon from a super market which will be just as good if not better than a butchers. The butter to me is the icing on the cake, I will never compromise on this. On another note, my wife buys Sainsburys breakfast wheat cereal that tastes exactly like Weetabix but at about half the price.
I get bacon from aldi its a double pack its usually on the bottom shelf in a vaccum pack and the bacon is thick and lovely it cost 4 lound odd but it is a double back and its the essential range iuse that aldi brown sauce and tiger bread and butter love fran ❤xxxx
Butchers bacon has no added water where supermarket stuff has added water the actual weight of the bacon cooked after the water has being removed after cooking will be 100g or less on a 200g or more weight pack.
I only buy my bacon from the butcher or farmshop admittedly the price is higher but these days I’d rather go without than buy bacon that’s see through and pumped with salt. As for the bread I would prefer the sourdough but not at £4 and it’s HP sauce for me. To be honest my tastebuds recoiled in fear at the thought of the salty bacon 🥓
As an Ex Pat people keep on going on about British food prices.I see vids where baked beans are 8p a tin. You not going to get a tin of baked beans in the US for under $2.00 I like your vids so I subb'ed
I wouldn't of paid extra for the bacon you got from the butchers as it was just mass produced imported bacon no different to what you get in a supermarket. If i was going for high quality bacon i would buy a dry cured bacon preferably produced in the UK. There used to be somewhere near me that reared their own pigs and made amazing bacon and sold it mail order unfortunately they could not find anybody to take over the company when they retired so it had to shut down a few years ago. There is another local farm that produces exceptional bacon on a small scale but they cannot keep up with demand so there is often a long waiting list to buy their meat. If i was going cheap i would buy a pack of cooking bacon as there is nearly always plenty of rashers in those as well as thicker bits for steaks or cooking with and it usually works out at least half the price of even the cheapest rashers. For bread i usually make my own but sometimes buy the odd loaf, i quite like the Lidl low GI bread but it could be anything that grabs my eye. Rarely have sauce usually just salted butter and a bit of coarsely ground black pepper but do sometimes like a bit of chilli jam instead of the pepper. I would of been quite happy to eat both of the bacon sandwiches you made though. Don't think i have ever turned one down.
Anyone putting tomato ketchup on a bacon sandwich the police need to be told door kicked in and arrest made, as this is illegal and everyone knows this.
I wouldn't buy cheap bread the texture isnt nice i usually only have wholemeal bread which has to be warburtons or warburtons wholemeal danish or if i do have white bread very rarely then it has to be warburtons danish its lovely and light and yummy kerrygold grass fed cows butter is the best butter to have but thats my preference
Not a completely fair challenge because you could have got HP sauce one pound cheaper at Asda and the bread cheaper also, so all in all you didn't get the cheapest for the quality sandwich.
You have to be a complete idiot to pay £4+ for a loaf of bread. You can easily get top quality fresh bread for a quid from any supermarket. As for the sauce and butter, you only used a small fraction of what was bought, so total costs is far lower for those in both examples. The cost of the bacon is by far the biggest difference between quality and crap, and well worth it. The sauce as it lasts is worth the extra. Cheap butter and expensive butter isnt that much different. And high quality fresh bread from a supermarket is only double the nasty cheap bread, that bread you got was just utterly ridiculous and no better than something a 1/4 the price. You could make a similar high quality bacon sandwhich for half the price you paid overall.
@@margaretcarew6000 keith only did it for a video, he doesnt normally eat that bread. Its worth paying for a video though to show how dumb that price is. He basically bought the absolute best he could get regardless of price, i think he paid far too much only because you can buy very good quality bread far cheaper and maybe even better than the product he got. The idiots i was meaning are those people who buy it often and thinking they are getting something special.
£4 for bread no way. I take the cheap one. But then I'm a pensioner. (Not keir Starmer). and by the way I like tomato sauce even thro it gives me Indigestion some times. be happy!!!
I think if your local butcher's charge a reasonable price, more people would use them, I'm all for supporting local businesses, but £4.00 odd for a loaf of bread is a piss take you could have got a freshly baked loaf at the supermarket for a fraction of the price, sorry I wouldn't have paid that price for a loaf bread yet again, if they reduced their prices, more people would use them, I love hp sauce with my bacon butty, take care.
i like to support small local buisnesses, but when there charging over 4 quid for a loaf theyre taking the piss
Don't support them, then! ... I wouldn't pay £1.69 in Aldi for a few crumbs of sourdough.
I got two white sliced for £0.94. Makes lovely toast.
I wouldn’t support small businesses if there that price support your family first and watch your pennys
i know , morrisons has proper delicious tiger loaf family size for half that price , and tiger loaf is way better for bacon butty
they piss and moan about supermarkets , but they are putting themselves out of business 4 quid for a loaf , fk right off
I totally agree

Great review really enjoyed Thanks for all your hard work regards Greg
We need more of these kind of comparison videos!
Love a bacon sandwich 🥪 thankyou for review xx
Enjoyed that video Keith! I’m glad I had a Chinese whilst I was watching it tho!! 😂…. Smithy
A comparison I think was the word you was looking for mate 👍🏻😂😂
I think it’s the sauce that makes all the Difference…. HP all day Long…. Much Love to you guys ❤️❤️
I think I would have enjoyed the cheaper butties tbh 😊
Hi Keith & Nat expensive 1 looked nice but I would just buy the basic 1 as there was a big price difference.. Thanks again for another great video from Anne & Garry ❤
Love a bacon sandwich. No butter on for me though.
@suewestwood1743 what??!!
Keith ❤ Nat ❤ l think quality one looked scrumptious! you can taste difference it's good as a treat you deserve it ❤❤❤xxx
Love the cheap one with tomato sauce ❤. Yum yum.
You can get a brilliant loaf of bread at M&S Food for 75p and I think they are wonderful.
Excellent video, Keith. Thankyou. 👍
James may says it should be cheap bacon and bread and I actually agree with him

Awe Keith, I totally tricked my family and poured Aldi brown sauce into an empty HP bottle and guess what……..they never noticed!!!! 🤣😂
aldi brown is lovely i prefer it to be honest
Also Aldi sourdough bread is delicious, it’s nowhere near the price of the expensive sourdough bread you bought. Please try the Aldi sourdough 👍

In Ireland we call that a rasher sandwich, white bread, butter and plenty of chef brown sauce on your rashers.

You could get the dearer bacon and get a cheaper loaf of bread
Most of the time you pay for quality, you get it.

Nothing compares to HP, stick that on the cheap bacon but with better bread and it’s a winner for little more

Cant beat quality ingredients
Spoiling Nat with all that kitchen roll brother 😉❤️
What brilliant review. Well done Keith 👏
Try stokes brown sauce it's the best 😊
great vedio love you both can i ask what is wrong with nat health wise xxx
What about brands vs budget toasties 😊 be great too
YES MATE. PRICES ARE SO HIGH NOWADAYS. BUT WHEN I CAN I LIKE A BACON SANDWICH. PEACE. NO MORE WAR. BLACK N WHITE UNITE. LOVEA
Most of aldis products are made by and in the same factorys as the brand names
Well for £14 you would expect top
Quality but me I’d always go for the cheap one maybe with white bread
A BEST sandwich is best Bacon Egg Sausage and Tomato on triple decker mmmmm
@@GazT-uw4ti white pepper and dash of hendos, perfect
We tried the Aldi brown sauce and yes it’s good just like the HP sauce. I can not taste anything different. Only difference is the price.
I've just got back from Aldi and got some real meat bargains this week x

Over 4 for bread taking the p
Sainsbury's cheapo smoked bacon is the best. Tesco's cheapo brown sauce is delicious. Aldi or lidl cheapo bread is OK.
bloody hell.. i hope its double the taste too.. waits till the end.. but is it worth the diff.. imma cheap guy id still go for the cheap one.
Not a completely fair challenge because you could have got HP sauce one pound cheaper at Asda and the bread cheaper also, so all in all you didn't get the cheapest for the quality sandwich.
I would get the bacon aboustley...but in aldi there's some good breads ...the butter aldi .so just the bacon
cheap and cheerful all the way
👍
you bought different butters different breads aldi do sourdough for £1.69 you cant call this a fair comparison
Should’ve got stokes or Tiptree brown sauce
Is Nat ok??
just buy the cheap stuff it still fills you up costs less
I like a bi5 of both to my and brown lovely
