This looks good, I think I will actually try making this later today, I've never heard of this before, but it does look very delicious. Thanks for another great show!
This may come as shocking news, but we did not have this in the US. That said, it looks like it would be tasty. What it did remind me of, and just because of its shape, was the rectangle pizza they served us at school, and is available almost nowhere else in the world.
I also grew up in Texas - Lewisville, TX - near Dallas. In the 70s, our rectangular pizza had some red stuff under the cheese and bits of meat. It was some kind of sauce - too thick to run. Typical frozen pizza at the time. No microwave yet. All frozen pizza was like cardboard back then.
It was the highlight on any week. The custard in this video also reminded me of the salad dressing, which is also not quite like anything else, that we put on top of the rectangle.
So! Another great show. Happy Treason Day to all of my British relatives. And remember the only difference between a rebellious subject who incited a revolt against his lawful King and a Founding Father of a great nation is who won the war. Happy Fourth of July everyone.
I've never heard of this, but watching the 2 of you makes my day. I think the closest thing in the US we have is pudding for the topping. Custard, here, is a type of ice cream, but your custard looks exactly like our pudding. Happy Monday as we prepare to celebrate the original "Brexit" of 1776 ;)
Here the the US custard must have egg yolks to be considered custard but I agree it looks like what we call pudding. I must make this as soon as I convert the grams to cups.
I wish I could give this 10 likes! So easy, and the looks on your faces when you tasted it - priceless! I wish I could say I had good memories of anything from my school lunches (or "hot lunch" - as we called it back when I was in grade school here in California), but I don't. Every Friday, a group of moms volunteered to run the kitchen at lunch and cranked out mass quantities of tacos, spaghetti, hot dogs, green beans and fried chicken. I don't even remember if we got dessert. If we did, it might have just been a cookie or something.
I, like my fellow American commenters, have never heard of this culinary creation. The tarmac portion appears to be a cross between a brownie and cookie. The custard has similar ingredients to American pudding, though the mixture is a lot thinner. The tarmac sounds interesting. Might have to try making this.... Anyway, I only remember desserts being served with school lunches when I was in grade school. My favorite was the peanut butter candy that resembled fudge (without the chocolate) cut into 1 or 2 inch squares. Never knew it's name. Weird that I would like it, since I'm not a big fan of peanut butter. In high school we could choose our entree, I usually got the rectangle pizza that others have mentioned. We got fries on the side with that. It was usually a safe bet compared to the "mystery" meat planned lunches. Keep up the good work! :)
Oh my gosh! What a cute little container of milk! Soooo cute!!! The what powder? Looks like crunchy brownies and some type of pudding on top. Nice job guys. It looks tasty! Today is a day off for lots of people because the 4th of July is tomorrow! Great recipe for the 4th of July, thanks guys! :-)
Love chocolate concrete (yes we call it concrete here in yorkshire) it was a school classic. definitely have to use fingers as it helps to get a more even consistency i troed to make chocolate concrete but couldnt get it to go solid lol mmmmm taste-o-vision
Great show, it made me hungry! Did you go to boarding schools or public schools ? We had classic meals in the college dorms like Turkey Tetrazzini and Peanut Butter soft serve ice cream ! We had fries 🍟 at lunch and dinner and lots of guys wanted gravy on their fries. Desserts aka puddings were pies, cookies, Jello & cake, nothing as exciting as your Chocolate Tarmac with Pink Pudding ! Do you eat brownies ? The chocolate tarmac is close to a brownie, just denser. Your cooking segments are now rapidly becoming my favorite! So happy when you eat them !
Nom nom nom! If it has choco I want to try it😁 I so love you two awesome goofy guys💖🖖🏼 My sisters and I grew up caught between three cultures (Dutch/Indonesian/American, though could be considered just two bc both parents are from Indonesia and both are mixed Dutch-Indo), so we had lots of different yummies all the time👍🏽
Maybe next time you two can do a starter maybe some crab cakes or maybe if you are feeling a bit flash quick asparagus benedict then you will have a 3 course tastes of the uk meal if you have the sunday lunch burger or the full english breakfast pizza
Taramac it was more like cardboard dry as f u had to have the custard otherwise it was the old faithfull milk with a straw 😂 to wash it down still loved all are puddings we had the best kids today miss out forced to eat depressing stuff
Seems like a pain to take everything down just for this episode. Afraid of burning something on the other side of the room? ...which appears to be 3 ft away.
As an American this is baffling me. They served this in schools? About what grade range? My school lunches usually consisted of a rectangle of pizza with french fries on top. For the tarmac I think I can easily find how to convert grams into weird US measurements, but I'm coming up short on finding out what "pink custard" is. Local googling turns up some kind of soap? What you have there sounds similar to a pudding mix (which is a specific thing here, like a "jell-o cook and serve pudding & pie filling") but yours looks runnier.
Okay, looking things up online got me a little confused, as grams are measured by weight, but in recipes like this I've always measured by volume, which the equivalent is mL? Which makes converting this recipe weird, as the ingredients weigh very different amounts, so measurements could be off wildly. If measuring by weight, then conversions are: 200g flour is 1 2/3 cup 200g sugar is 1 cup 50g cocoa powder is 1/2 cup 100g butter is about the sum of 1/2 cup and 1/3 cup If instead measuring by volume, then the recipe is easier to convert by using "parts", may not get the same amount but will get the proportions right, like if 1 part = 1/4 cup 4 parts (1 cup) flour, 4 parts (1 cup) sugar, 1 part (1/4 cup) cocoa powder, 2 parts (1/2 cup) melted butter Also for oven temperature, 180c is about 350f.
It would have been worse if you have put salt in thinking it was sugar....I did that once with a cup of tea, it left my mouth quicker than it went in....
I have only begun the video, but I just have to say, the thumbnail does not look very appealing! I am a retired teacher, and have eaten school lunches from New York to Georgia! I will now view the video, and hope that it becomes more appealing!
I just tried a conversion myself and it blew my mind. Americans are used to measuring most things by volume (cups and spoons and things). But, and I really just found this out just now, apparently UK measures things by weight? Like with a scale and everything? So conversion requires looking up a complicated chart or googling the weight of things. Like 1 cup of sugar is 200g, but 1 cup of cocoa powder is 100g, that's nearly double! Or half, it's still early yet for me. So converting recipes seems much more complicated than you or I thought, unless one switches over to a different and unfamiliar way of measuring.
Wow 70's and 80's in school I remember chocolate concrete and pink custard, fond memories. :)
This looks good, I think I will actually try making this later today, I've never heard of this before, but it does look very delicious.
Thanks for another great show!
Lads you have just made my day! I absolutely loved that stuff back in the day of school dinners 🤤 get in! So! 😄 get a logo on you aprons 👍
Um no. Chocolate concrete cake always goes with mint custard. The sponge cake thing goes with pink custard. Both are delicious 😋
CuriosityRocks back in the day in school we only ever got pink, vanilla or chocolate custard. Never mint.
Nope your wrong
Sounds good
Do you know the recipe for the mint custard by any chance. Can't find it anywere. I can remember the mint custard was white
This may come as shocking news, but we did not have this in the US. That said, it looks like it would be tasty. What it did remind me of, and just because of its shape, was the rectangle pizza they served us at school, and is available almost nowhere else in the world.
Drew Brantley the rectangle pizza was the best!
I also grew up in Texas - Lewisville, TX - near Dallas. In the 70s, our rectangular pizza had some red stuff under the cheese and bits of meat. It was some kind of sauce - too thick to run. Typical frozen pizza at the time. No microwave yet. All frozen pizza was like cardboard back then.
Rectangle pizza rocked. I also liked the Apple Betty.
It was the highlight on any week. The custard in this video also reminded me of the salad dressing, which is also not quite like anything else, that we put on top of the rectangle.
You guys ate awesome!! Love all your shows!!
So! Another great show. Happy Treason Day to all of my British relatives. And remember the only difference between a rebellious subject who incited a revolt against his lawful King and a Founding Father of a great nation is who won the war.
Happy Fourth of July everyone.

It's 3am, and now I'm hungry. Thanks. And I've never heard of this or seen it before.
the more i watch you two, the more you remind me of laurel and hardy. i love those guys.

Your videos always come out when I'm in school so I have to wait till I get home to watch them but they are always worth the wait

You guys should publish each recipe on your site. Before long you'll have a T+T Cookbook to sell on kindle!
Red White or a book
Mmmmm used to lv schools pink custard😊 you two make me laugh😁 your tarmac look yummy
Oh my gosh! What a cute little container of milk! Soooo cute!!! The what powder? Looks like crunchy brownies and some type of pudding on top. Nice job guys. It looks tasty! Today is a day off for lots of people because the 4th of July is tomorrow! Great recipe for the 4th of July, thanks guys! :-)
Fighting so hard not to laugh out loud in my cubicle at work!
"Taste-a-vision"!! I like it! :-) Thanks gents, this was another fun video. :-)
You two are hilarious, iv subscribed just for the fun 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love chocolate concrete (yes we call it concrete here in yorkshire) it was a school classic.
definitely have to use fingers as it helps to get a more even consistency
i troed to make chocolate concrete but couldnt get it to go solid lol
mmmmm taste-o-vision
Absolutely love taste-o-vision!
We never had anything like that in school here in Ohio. I don't think I've ever seen raspberry pudding, but it looks interesting.
Great show, it made me hungry! Did you go to boarding schools or public schools ? We had classic meals in the college dorms like Turkey Tetrazzini and Peanut Butter soft serve ice cream !

It'll not be long before you guys are earning yourselves some Michelin stars!
Chocolate concrete with green mint custard in 90s (Birmingham)
My fav 80's pudding was chocolate mouse!
Egads! Tubby Custard! I had no idea that existed in real life.
Can’t find the blamange mix anywhere
Next recipe, can you pick something else that will make Greg squawk? That was hilarious!!
Nom nom nom! If it has choco I want to try it😁 I so love you two awesome goofy guys💖🖖🏼
My sisters and I grew up caught between three cultures (Dutch/Indonesian/American, though could be considered just two bc both parents are from Indonesia and both are mixed Dutch-Indo), so we had lots of different yummies all the time👍🏽
Looks like what we call brownies with pudding on top.
tracy freeland we call them brownies here to you know
Jamie Daniels I didn't know that. They called it chocolate tarmac. I've never heard that name before.
tracy freeland me either to be honest
I agree, it looks like a thin hard brownie.
@Tracy - he meant that we call "brownies" brownies in the UK also, not that this is a brownie...dear god.
do school lunches over there cost money? Does everyone have to eat them? Or do some children bring their lunch from home?
Free for those on benefits, other children have to pay and yes you can bring "packed lunches" from home.
Oh and yes you defo need aprons with logos on
Looked mouthwatering!!!! Soggy chips next week? :-)
Maybe next time you two can do a starter maybe some crab cakes or maybe if you are feeling a bit flash quick asparagus benedict then you will have a 3 course tastes of the uk meal if you have the sunday lunch burger or the full english breakfast pizza
So pink custard was supposed to be raspberry flavoured custard. The mystery is solved 👍🏻
I think th Sunday British Burgar would sell in the USA.
Never ever heard it called tarmac before lol.
"It burns!"
See you Wednesday!
With all the money you saved on set decoration, you could have purchased a whisk or mixer for Greg!
Just idea, why not use your green screen & add your own kitchen backdrop & lose the chairs while cooking!
Oh I found Warrior! Yay!
what was that mmm after pink custard 🤣😂
Custard made with 'blamonge?' Well I never!
Blancmange....
Taramac it was more like cardboard dry as f u had to have the custard otherwise it was the old faithfull milk with a straw 😂 to wash it down still loved all are puddings we had the best kids today miss out forced to eat depressing stuff
SOOOWWW
is it good? it's kinda scary.
Seems like a pain to take everything down just for this episode. Afraid of burning something on the other side of the room? ...which appears to be 3 ft away.
what a girly scream Greg 😱😜
Y'all another excellent episode 😁 Happy Treason Day, or as we call it, Happy 4th of July....jk 😘

Michael Turner Pretty sure blamonge powder is a cake mix
Blancmange...how do Americans not know what custard is? Even the French call it "Creme Anglaise"
I once made custard and forgot to add sugar. It was disgusting.
It would have been worse if you have put salt in thinking it was sugar....I did that once with a cup of tea, it left my mouth quicker than it went in....
do americans even know what tarmac is?
I have only begun the video, but I just have to say, the thumbnail does not look very appealing! I am a retired teacher, and have eaten school lunches from New York to Georgia! I will now view the video, and hope that it becomes more appealing!
8:57 Screams like a girl
Americans can't use a recipe in grams. SO!
Ann Hardy Sure you can just convert it.

How your ancestors made the journey to the US and lived as pioneers I will never know.
