I feel the Chinese food thing on a spiritual level. One of the restaurants near my place will give you a full takeout box of lo mein for like $7, and a buffet plate for $6. They don't charge by weight. If the box closes, you can take it. It is AWESOME.
As a Texan, i always go with a chopped brisket sandwich (always ask for the moist cut) piled high with grilled onions and pickles drenched in a hickory sweet barbeque sauce which sits betwixt two buttered sourdough buns that were toasted to perfection. (the toasting of the buns is crucial, as it allows the bread to better absorb the homogeneous mixture of meat juice and coagulated bbq sauce, and as a result keeps the sandwich structurally sound) Couple that with a large helping of mac & cheese and a Doctor Pepper, and we've got ourselves the perfect Friday night feast!
in Holland we have a dish called kapsalon. its döner with fries and melted cheese with a salad with tomatoe and union. eat it with a lot of garlic and hot sause
Comfort food is as much about memories and familiarity as it is being delicious and bad for you. Also....I may have tried beans on toast, it kinda reminded me of biscuits and gravy in spirit.
regarding the salt & vinegar crisps/chips my favorite it kroger store brand, they have so much vinegar if you eat too much the burn your taste buds off
i live in germany and i tried salt & vinegar crisps, holy balls are they sour, it like they bathed them in vinegar for an hour before frying. i dont mind the tast of vinegar but the amount of it is just way too much
Back in high school, I regularly ordered from a fried chicken stand in school. There was an item there that ground meat cooked in a gravy like sauce served with rice. I asked how much is the big serving of fries and it turned out to be the same as the rice, so I asked to swap the rice with fries and then have two pieces of chicken with it. In less than a week, that stand placed it on the menu because people kept ordering it. It has endured till now. One a related note, my comfort food is instant noodles. The dry kind, not the soup. It's just so versatile for breakfast. Serve it with an egg and cheese omelet, and I'm satisfied. If I'm feeling a bit fancy, I add in whatever processed meat I have and pan fry until toasted. Since I try to limit my carb intake, I only eat it once a week. Someday, I'll be able to try the Steak Jjapaguri from the movie Parasite.
At 8:34 when you mentioned the square pizzas I remembered about a place called lito's pizza, which was in the Maryland area. They were square, because they "don't cut corners". Those things were so greasy...
I live near Birmingham, so naturally we have some of the best Indian places. There is a place that does amazing buttered chicken. 2000 calories of glorious buttered chicken, rice, popadoms and naan bread. The Chinese order is similar to Karls. Chicken curry, large rice, chips and soft noodles (sometimes vegetable chow mein without baby corn).
I have my own version of Karl's Beans on Toast w Sausage, my Mum would use canned spaghetti that was a little sweet and would also have melted cheese (melted in microwave or from heat of spaghetti) and pepper, she dubs it Sausage and Schetti, it's definitely my favourite comfort food and it's always nice when she makes it :)
I feel brad on the chips (crisps). My favorite brand is Cape cod, which I don't think you have in the UK. They're kettle cooked but have a much better texture/flavor than kettle brand and aren't nearly as greasy. Their flavors are fantastic, especially salt and vinegar and sweet and spicy jalapeño
A giant plate of hot wings always brings me back to life. There is also this place I can’t make it to very often that has the best curry and rice. If you ever find yourself in San Francisco on holiday, look up a restaurant called Over the Bridge. The chef is also a super fun guy to talk to.
Growing up my Ma would make something we called concoction . It would consist of two massive homemade biscuits with this creamy gravy poured over them with peas carrots and green beans . I would beg for this growing up I have no clue if it has a official name , but its not like sausage biscuits and gravy its different the sauce it lighter and more creamy than salty cause you would already get all the salt of the dish from the biscuits . Love the channel though you actually are really fun to watch and listen too . I also love just knowing random facts about things it makes me so happy to just go around and be like "hey did you know....
Peanut butter, cinnamon sugar toast. Was a comfort food in my childhood I just loved. Cuz it was ridiculously cheap and easy to make that my mom wouldn’t get that mad when I eat it.
My takeaway favorite is also Chinese! Always Kung pow beef extra spicy extra onions or if I have a massive hang over or extra hungry o get a hot and sour soup. That soup will bring you back to life!
Man, i always come back to this video just to hear these 2 lads talks about comfort junk food. Karl especially talkin about beans. Reminds me of me and my love for my moms beans and chorizo
I saw tater wedges and I make some really good homemade ones and usually have to cook them by the bag so I can at least have some when everyone constantly eating them
Whenever I'm feeling like s*** like absolute garbage my comfort food is homemade beef jerky over 5 years I've nailed down the recipe and I know I'm not supposed to eat it as much because of all the salt but after a long day you get home and you rip open that vacuum sealed pack of jerky you made a week ago it's great taste like victory
Carl you got no needs to apologise for your bean an sasuge love I'm Jamaican and have the same love. Lemme put into something grace bake beans and grace sausage get those and some soft dough bread or yellow breath you will reach the nirvana of beans and sasuage toast.
Karl Im with you with beans and sausages on toast but I had melted cheese on top. it was my Saturday breakfast by my nan and pop while my parents were working all the time and it was my favorite part of my week as a kid. And my husband thinks I'm a freak when I have a bad day I'll pull out my can a beens and sausages and make beens and sausage on toast and just sit in bed by myself and play my favorite songs from the 90s.
Reminds me of the movie lock stock and two smoking barrels. The group of friends call the skinniest friend bacon/fat man just to mess with him, however terrible the joke is
Omg. I thought I was weird with crisps. The only flavour actual potato crisp I’ll eat is cheese and onion or just onion. The only flavours of corn type crisps I’ll eat (transformasnack , monster munch, Cheetos, wotsits [yes Americans they are 2 separate crisps taste and texture wise]) are beef or cheese, at the moment Aldi snack write cheese and onion just omg. Beat out walkers and Sainsbury’s and Tesco and Asda by a mile. However Sainsbury’s onion rings will always hold the top spot but followed closely by Aldi snack right
I cook every day for my wife and give the offcuts to my feline offspring. My homemade chips, cheese and gravy makes my girl very happy, and thus allows us to celebrate a very special part of an adult relationship. Tldr: Junk food gets girls dripping
SQUARE IS MORE BIGGER! my grandma used to make a pizza without a plate, she would wrap the oven grid in tin foil and use that to make a pizza the size of the fucking oven and feed like 10 people, the pizza was T H I C K .
Who knew Vladimir Putin was a Pizza King, or that he has a restaurant called "Vladimir Putin Pizzas"? I've heard he's now opening up a new Greek based change called "Vladimir Putin's Greedy Greek Deli" :)
I feel the Chinese food thing on a spiritual level. One of the restaurants near my place will give you a full takeout box of lo mein for like $7, and a buffet plate for $6. They don't charge by weight. If the box closes, you can take it. It is AWESOME.
Box noodles and the chicken,The fucking chicken are the highlight of my Chinese takeout meals
Petition to make Brad’s salt and vinegar crisp list into a whole Fact Fiend Focus video
Only acceptable change to the menu would be "because pi r square"

I low-key missed brad

Ladies get a man who talks about you the way Karl talks about beans
in Holland we have a dish called kapsalon. its döner with fries and melted cheese with a salad with tomatoe and union. eat it with a lot of garlic and hot sause
That sounds like pure heaven.
Comfort food is as much about memories and familiarity as it is being delicious and bad for you. Also....I may have tried beans on toast, it kinda reminded me of biscuits and gravy in spirit.
Holy shit biscuits and gravy how could I ever have forgot about that I haven’t had that in almost 10 years
regarding the salt & vinegar crisps/chips my favorite it kroger store brand, they have so much vinegar if you eat too much the burn your taste buds off
i live in germany and i tried salt & vinegar crisps, holy balls are they sour, it like they bathed them in vinegar for an hour before frying.
i dont mind the tast of vinegar but the amount of it is just way too much

The wedges one makes me want theses wedges
I can't get it anymore but when i lived in Japan had to get a curry from coco curry house that always hit the spot.
square is more bigger

I just found a bag of transformasnacks yesterday and it took me back years
I have my own version of Karl's Beans on Toast w Sausage, my Mum would use canned spaghetti that was a little sweet and would also have melted cheese (melted in microwave or from heat of spaghetti) and pepper, she dubs it Sausage and Schetti, it's definitely my favourite comfort food and it's always nice when she makes it :)
The kabobish wedges are also called "tater logs" in the southern US
I feel brad on the chips (crisps). My favorite brand is Cape cod, which I don't think you have in the UK. They're kettle cooked but have a much better texture/flavor than kettle brand and aren't nearly as greasy. Their flavors are fantastic, especially salt and vinegar and sweet and spicy jalapeño
I’m pretty sure cape cod is available in the UK if not they are available for purchase online internationally

I agree about Branston beans. Good to see you're a man of culture, too. Beans means Branston

Let’s talk about our favourite junk foods, monetise it & buy more junk food 😂 ...
...Bloody Genius!! 👍🏼
Peanut butter, cinnamon sugar toast. Was a comfort food in my childhood I just loved. Cuz it was ridiculously cheap and easy to make that my mom wouldn’t get that mad when I eat it.
Just when i thought potato wedged couldn't get better, but the first thing on the list sounds amazing.
My takeaway favorite is also Chinese! Always Kung pow beef extra spicy extra onions or if I have a massive hang over or extra hungry o get a hot and sour soup. That soup will bring you back to life!
Pancakes or waffles with peanut butter and syrup. Then add bacon to the extra syrup.
That's funny pizza king is where we order at work 🤣
My favourite take away shop is Flame Grill in Sittingbourne and they serve the best chicken burger I’ve ever had
It still makes me giggle that a couple months after this video came out my local Chinese starting doing Carl's order as a combo option
Man, i always come back to this video just to hear these 2 lads talks about comfort junk food. Karl especially talkin about beans. Reminds me of me and my love for my moms beans and chorizo
I saw tater wedges and I make some really good homemade ones and usually have to cook them by the bag so I can at least have some when everyone constantly eating them
Poutine is such a good comfort food and drunk food how could you forget it. Thank you Canada.
Fried rice swimming in thick, steaming hot gravy paired with extra crispy, deep fried hot dogs always makes my day.
Massively agree on transform-a-snack an space raiders as a meta crisps but you should 100% include quavers to that list.
Plain Lo Mein, Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Toast, and Velveeta Shells MacnCheese.
I'm going to go to Sheffield in a few days to a place about 10 minutes away from that wedges place. I am so going to try those wedges!
My go to takeaways are either a Singapore chow mein or a chicken korma.
Paused this video to make some of Karl's special beans, thumbs up from me.
The fact that Karl basically loves a slightly different version of Mexican refied beans is so adorable :)
French fries with hot sauce has always been my comfort food of choice.
Funnily, "Fucking Kebabish Wedges" are called "Greek Fries/Chips" in French Canadian. And I have no clue why! Ahahahah
Jack in the box tacos are my guilty pleasure. I know there trash but I always gotta grab a couple
Know pizza King very well, pitty I work for one of there competitors as a delivery driver, and no it ain’t dominoes.
Only having discovered the channel this year my local chinese use to be called...
MR WANG
The 109 dislikes are personal trainers.
Cape Cod sea salt and vineger is a really good kettle chip.
good to know i'm not the only one who gets happy by eating junk carbs :>
The video I never wanted. But I still got.
And I am happy about it
Whenever I'm feeling like s*** like absolute garbage my comfort food is homemade beef jerky over 5 years I've nailed down the recipe and I know I'm not supposed to eat it as much because of all the salt but after a long day you get home and you rip open that vacuum sealed pack of jerky you made a week ago it's great taste like victory
Can we just haggle our local Chinese takeaways till they make the” Karl “
Karl eats like my dad
Greetings from Heeley. Kababish wedges are great. And just like in that picture, you occatioanlly get a rouge piece of popcorn chicken in them. :3
2 slices of pizza with some chips and beans. Lovely dinner
Clara's Pizza King in our town has round pizzas with square slices.
Carl you got no needs to apologise for your bean an sasuge love I'm Jamaican and have the same love. Lemme put into something grace bake beans and grace sausage get those and some soft dough bread or yellow breath you will reach the nirvana of beans and sasuage toast.
Nothing beats on beans on toast my daughter also loves it haha
I'm from the only part in the world from what i heard, that 2:17 Those are called Jojos.
They are fucking amazing.
…now I want transformers and space raiders.
I make my beans in water, I prefer red beans in water to white beans in tomato sauce.
Karl Im with you with beans and sausages on toast but I had melted cheese on top. it was my Saturday breakfast by my nan and pop while my parents were working all the time and it was my favorite part of my week as a kid.

oml I love the nik naks way too much
Bean Moses!
We call those JoJos where I'm from
Everyone knows tj's is the place to go on a scunny night out, square pizza and its 2 for 1

Chicken fillet tower burger wiv onion rings and hash browns and cheese
Watching these guys go nuts over potato wedges
And beenie weenies
Best thing to bring you back to life after a bender: McDonald’s sausage McGriddle with a hasbrown and grape jelly inside it and a large Powerade.
not only does that sound disgusting but so much so that i began to gag after reading this
In the same vein as that Hardee's $1 sausage biscuit with grape/strawbery and hot sauce on it with hash rounds and a large Sweet Tea .
Pulled pork poutine is the way to go for me.
Rice, chips and noodles mixed together in a puddle of curry sauce? Mad respect lad, but GOD DAMN.
I bet takeaway restaurant's sales across the country spiked just a little shortly after the release of this video
Asda beans and sausages are king! Best comfort food ever is toad in the hole with beans and gravy!
Karl, have you ever tried a mountain pie?
Karls likr the gorden Ramsey of Beans
Wedges with for cream and sweet chilli 👌👌👌👌
from where i am, those wedges are called JoJos.
Didn’t think they would serve wedges on Homeworld, considering their clientele don’t eat
*Golden wind theme Intensifies*
Nik Naks and Wheat Crunchies
I watch this video any time I don't have food and I'm sad
Thai express I want some pad thai from them right now
This is so British
In a good way
I cook every day for my wife and give the offcuts to my feline offspring. My homemade chips, cheese and gravy makes my girl very happy, and thus allows us to celebrate a very special part of an adult relationship.

SQUARE IS MORE BIGGER! my grandma used to make a pizza without a plate, she would wrap the oven grid in tin foil and use that to make a pizza the size of the fucking oven and feed like 10 people, the pizza was T H I C K .
Kettle brand salt & vinegar are the best
I only like baked beans cold from the can... Ironically if you actually bake the baked beans... I don't want em. XD
And only on hot Summer days with a BBQ meal.
I like my beans 😂😂😂
Square is MORE bigger
Indiana Pizza King is round
The best comfort food for me is toast with butter and kaya(which is a type of paste) idl why but it ls really fucking good.
Spc bake beans for me
What is “oragono”? Asking for an American friend.
"oregano" is a kind of spice, i don't really know how to describe the flavor but it's used in rice, noodles, etc; kinda like garlic and parsley
yum yum chips salt and vinger
We call those wedges tater logs
Karl: “OHHH for you Americans who don’t even know...” me a dane:👀
Who knew Vladimir Putin was a Pizza King, or that he has a restaurant called "Vladimir Putin Pizzas"? I've heard he's now opening up a new Greek based change called "Vladimir Putin's Greedy Greek Deli" :)
Square Is more bigger
Just so you know halloumi is from cyprus so technically you are eating cypriot food
Karl:I'm not an asshole
Me: you keep telling yourself that
