The famous American Knife and fork holding technique. I've spent loads of time in the States and never failed to be fascinated by how uncomfortable their silverware handling work appears to be. Nice video on such a simple subject though.
That is funny because to us the British way of eating always holding the knife and fork looks rude. I was always taught to only hold your knife as long as it is needed to cut, put it down and eat with your right hand and to keep your left hand firmly on your lap. If we ate near my grandmother as children, for the little ones she would sit next to them and keep their left hand in their lap with her hand (obviously she had already finished eating). I find it VERY shocking to see people eat with their cutlery always in both their hands. No. Just…no.
@@JeBa198 wack the bread in the toaster put the beans in the microwave for a couple of minutes jobs a gooden wack a bit of cheese on then we've all of a sudden got posh beans on toast 😂
I put the beans on the toast and the cheese on top and put it in the microwave. Faster and easier than using a pan. I'm from South Africa and here we also have baked beans with tomato sauce in a can. I love baked beans.
I will make this too! Beans on toast looks to me like a great lunch on a long day at work. I'm from the Netherlands, and I'm learning a lot about our Britisch neighbours via your channel. So thanks for that.
You’ve got a new sub from me . Completely hilarious watching you open that baked bean tin. But we need you to learn how to use a knife and fork correctly like us Brits 😂 . Brilliant video
Quite! Enough with the modern "accepting and inclusive" stance we are all told we should take nowadays! Old fashioned and a little bit painful though it might be, at least I am today unthinkingly comfortable in the use of cutlery. I'm guessing you were properly taught too otherwise this tragic failure of not even etiquette - BASIC life skills - wouldn't have caught your eye so noticeably. When I was growing up there was very much the "right way" and "oh for the love of the living Christ NO - NOT like THAT"😄 Perhaps while I momentarily have the attention of someone who seems to think along the same lines, I wonder if I could have your feedback on this? Going to the doctor these days, seems to involve a terrifying merry-go-round of decisions apparently I have to make in response to "treatment options" and "different strategies". I don't know if you have encountered this but again, growing up as a child in the 70s and 80s, if you had anything wrong with you, you went to the GP and onward to a specialist if necessary which it wasn't, usually. Instead, I remember the doctor asking questions about symptoms, arranging a blood and urine test, prodding and poking around a bit, taking BP and temperature readings and more often than not, scribbling something in what might have easily passed for Old Church Slavonic onto a prescription pad, the items duly picked up from the chemist by my mother and whichever tinctures, unguents and extracts administered over the proceeding week on the dot and no arguments😆 I just have the overwhelming urge to reply something like "why are you asking me? I've presumed that you are the one here with the years of arduous medical training, several advanced degrees and professional experience behind you, I was rather therefore hoping you would be the one to tell me!" But I haven't yet done it because in truth I know that even doctors are under the cosh of little managers and a forest of regulations that didn't exist when they were trainees. And one suspects they hate it as much as I do...😉
Please don't take any aspect of this video and think it's typical American. 😅 We're currently watching on the TV and my husband just said "damn. This is giving me anxiety" It's entertaining at least.
Still laughing at you opening the beans with a tin opener. And how adorable were you saying 'I don't know why the butter is so hard', minutes after taking it out the fridge. Great reaction, really enjoyable to watch and that's coming from a heretic who can't stand even the smell of baked beans. Merry Christmas to you and yours and to all your online community.
Hi from the U.K.! There is nothing better than a plate of Heinz beans. When we say pan we mean saucepan. Not frying pan! Glad to see you are enjoying British food. Sausages go really well with them too.
“Toaster oven” - cute! Notice the way he eats - American style - cutting with the knife, putting the knife down, transferring the fork to his right hand etc. Different to how we do in the UK and Europe.
Who ever taught him fork skills needs a slap lol I had an American friend come over to the UK and they used the fork like that cut everything up then used the fork in right hand to scoop lol
@@PatrickAtkinFineArt It's the way all north Americans eat. In Europe we keep both knife and fork in our hands, and use the knife to push food onto the prongs of the fork. That's not the way they do it in USA.
Just some advice, 1. you can heat the beans in the microwave 2. Try to butter the toast quickly whilst it's hot. The trick is to prepare this meal as quickly as possible before it all gets cold x
I know. it looks so clumsy, and that seems to be the way a lot of Americans mishandle them. Why put the knife down? It's a tool for manipulating the food into the fork, not just for cutting!
I think with the butter it's partially the ingredients. I moved from the UK to the US almost a decade ago, American butter seems exceptionally rock hard, it didn't take long for me to switch to an imported Irish butter for a consistency I'm more used to. From my experience taking the butter out of the fridge earlier, the imported butter will become softer before the American butter does too. As for the knife/fork usage it always amuses me that every American I know here will mostly cut with the knife, put it down and swap the fork over to the other hand to eat.
Never seen beans cooked in a frying pan before. Random. We usually microwave them or put them in a saucepan. Also a good idea to shake the can before pouring. Mixes up the tomato sauce. I love beans on toast but I never put butter on it. Increases the calories unnecessarily for what is, on the whole, quite a healthy meal. Good effort though.
You are making me so hungry ,think I’m going to make myself some . My Mum used to make us beans on toast for lunch .You did a great job ,good for you !
in the UK we use the knife and fork "European" style as we do not transfer the fork to the opposite hand but keep it in the left not swapping out, knife in right and fork in left cut and eat. the American style looks odd to UK eyes
@@privatecitizen5264 OK, I'll take your word for it but I have seen in American restaurants (in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York, the state as well as the city) that the locals cut all the food on the plate in one go then spend the rest of their meal stabbing the food with their forks.
Beans on toast is my go-to comfort food, always with grated cheddar on top. When I had tin of beans in the USA it came as a surprise to find the they were in some kind of brown bbq style sauce. Watching this video, I never realised 'making' beans on toast was such a complex and long-winded process. As everyone is commenting on it, the cutlery use also seems complex and long-winded; very awkward.
Try adding a little Worcestershire sauce to the beans as they cook, plus a dash of salt and pepper. For added fiber content, have over some multigrain toast.
Joel, you are sweetness personified and bless you for making yet another attempt on the humble baked bean. I think that effort earns you a B (you screwed up the buttering of the toast) so already your previous atrocities are forgotten. Everybody has their own style as the other comments here attest. I like to use half a can of beans which I place on one slice but have three other slices available so that I can slide remaining beans onto each slice in turn. That is the point, Beans are comfort food so do it in the way that you most like.
Bless lol asa British grandma it’s so funny and sweet to see someone trying beans lol. It’s something we have from little kids so no one by your age wouldn’t know the taste. I was shouting ring pull can though. Enjoy watching you seem like a nice person. Regards from the Uk
A great, quick, cheap, meal that is the mainstay of most British teenagers and students, and 'go-to' for life. I melt the cheese on the toast under the grill (broiler), before serving the beans on top.
I like to heat the beans more slowly for a longer time until the sauce is thick. You get less of a sloppy mess on the plate. Dark toast is definitely better for this! Have it for supper.
Oh my word beans on toast a British staple. So funny to see you making it for the first time, when we eat it all the time. Great to see you’re enjoying British food. Love the video.
Eat it using your cutlery like an English person it’s far easier, glad you enjoyed it, my favourite is 1/2 tin of warmed baked beans on toast with a poached egg on top. Loving your channel.
I’m less than 2 mins in but usually find it hilarious watching you guys from the US try our stuff. The last US lady who I watched try to make tea, cracked me the hell up.
Very interesting to see such formality in making beans on toast! normally you go to a mate's house and he makes it for you without even looking what he is doing, as it is such a normal part of British life.
As a child, we had beans on toast whenever we went to a cafe. I even remember my dad and me eating beans on toast in the kitchen while my sister was being born upstairs! For me it's the ultimate comfort food, especially when sick e.g. with a cold.
You should try them with HP brown sauce on mate! I've really enjoyed watching your videos this past year, your intellect is sharp, your heart is warm and your delivery is refreshingly sincere. Brilliant stuff, bloody well done chap!
You won't get a better compliment than what D J Morgan has just said, Joel. If I were you I would cut and paste it somewhere really permanent. It sums up your work here perfectly. Do treasure it.
I always thought baked beans on toast was more universal. A fact I have just seen. The UK eats more cans of baked beans than the rest of the world combined. 1.5 million cans of Heinz Beanz are sold every day in the UK. That's just one brand.
This is so funny. Using a frying pan to heat the beans. And using a tin opener on a ring pull Tin. Thank you so much for making me laugh I needed it. Good job 👍🏻
I was fascinated to see the way you held the fork when cutting the toast , quite amusing .that aside it looked really good . I usually have mine double decked . Have a good Christmas Joel , best wishes from the U.K. 🇬🇧
I’m sure there are some videos on here showing how countries use cutlery differently. Something to try next, using the fork the way it’s used in the UK. Guarantee it’ll feel odd for someone from the US
I have noticed that many Americans cannot seem to use cutlery properly... Joel looks as if he has never used a fork and holds it very awkwardly indeed! LOL! But its so easy to be 'picky' and considering it was his first attempt, the boy did good 👍 😊
I was about to say the same thing. Surely it's easier to eat holding both the knife and fork instead of constantly putting the knife down. It looks most odd.
I was searching for this comment. Watching him holding the fork like that then putting the knife down and switchig hands just to pick the knife back up to put more beans on and then do it all again was some so painful to watch, the actual beans on toast was good but americans really need to learn how to use cutlery would save them so much time, effort and just looking akward
wait wait wait wait wait. Is that really what you guys think is an American thing 🤣 it’s too funny watching him use the fork and knife because I’m American and I’ve never used mine like that, and my family doesn’t either 😂
Cut with knife in your right hand, eat from fork in left hand Also: Try heating in microwave. It gives you more sauce :) Also: Cut toast into fingers -&- use them as edible spoons. ( keeps your toast toasty and crunchy from start to finish ) Anyhow, it was a hoot how you enjoyed our beans on toast You made a humble meal very entertaining to watch. Enjoy
my American parents always ate this. Don't know where the idea came from. They used cold beans & mayo instead of butter. I thought it was a Depression Era food.
Everything was perfectly done, the beans cool down quickly so I would just pour the beans directly on to the toast to save time. Good tip is to leave the butter out so it’s easier to spread. A yummy addition would be a few dashes of Worcestershire Sauce on the beans 😋 this dish is a perfect lunch on a cold day.
Im not keen on baked beans as they come out of the tin, not enough flavour. for years I added a good squirt of ketchup to spice them up a bit but for the last couple of years Ive replaced that with one or 2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce instead of the ketchup. Niiice
Or a touch of Curry. Yum! My favourite…..I fry up bacon pieces, and when they’re done drop in a tin of Hienz ‘Ham Baked Beans’. I let them bubble for a minute, then eat them with Hot buttered toast. Yes US, Butter your toast when its golden brown an HOT!!
It's ridiculous how much I've just enjoyed watching you cook beans on toast and how pleased I was that you did actually like them 😅 I have loved watching your videos this year, taking the chance to see familiar things anew through your eyes; you have an open, enquiring mind and a kind heart, and I wish you and your family the warmest wishes for Christmas 💙
Not everyone does it but you could add a touch of butter to the beans while they heat up or a dash of milk that can make a touch more juice while cooking them. I add the dash of milk to mine.. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
Just seen this video! And as a Brit who loves and Beens on toast lunch, I’m so glad that you lived this! One tip when having cheese. Don’t just put the cheese on as you are about to serve. Put the cheese on before grilling. The cheese will then melt in!
I believe the beans are already cooked when they're sold in the shops, the purpose of heating them is just to make them warm rather than to cook them, you only really need to heat the beans until the sauce starts to boil, so it doesn't matter the temperature or time you do it for. It's a dish you'd struggle to mess up once you know
My dad used to make this for me when I was a kid. I don't know why but I always eat the beans off the toast first and then eat the soggy toast last, which is actually my favourite part 😂 I still have it every now and then.
Baked beans are good for your regularity and also an alternative to a whole meal. Easily done in a frying pan or skillet. That, toast and eggs will set you up for a whole day till the evening meal. Add a couple of egs and that is really a meal.
You can live off beans on toast when you are away at Uni - I know, I did. lol. Add a soft poached egg on top for an extra protein hit. Baked beans can be part of breakfast when served in a full English (bacon - real bacon not what you call bacon in the US, sausage, fried eggs, mushrooms, fried bread), on toast would normally be a lunch.
Watching an American using cutlery (silverware) is painful, Why do they make it look so complicated? 🤣At one point he was using the knife as a fork and the fork as a knife, Some of the angles he had to hold his wrist looked painful. Have a go using cutlery the British style, i'm sure theres some video about it you could react to. It will make eating beans on toast so much simpler, and probably eating in general 😉
@@MadwifeCinda he has, that's just the way Americans do it. We used to do it the same way but as fashion changed we adopted the French way of doing it. The USA never changed (in the same way they say Fall for Autumn - we changed they didn't)
I can see why people have a problem with a fork and knife. If they are right handed they want to use the right hand for the knife then they feel they must continue to use the right hand for the fork going into the mouth. I am right handed for everything except eating. I use my left hand for cutting with the knife and the right hand for the fork.
Your adventurous. He struggles to cook beans on toast and the tin comes with instructions. Poaching a egg would drive him crazy. Think I'd love to see him do it though😂😋😋
Great effort, my kids love beans on toast they put 1 slice of toast buttered then add half the can of bean then put another slice of toast on top as if making a sandwich. Add the rest of the beans with white cheddar cheese and mix in brown sauce ( like ketchup) We also have tinned spaghetti on toast, it’s the same method with out the cheese though. It’s a quick filling snack and it’s also comfort food than if all else fails you can have something on toast and it’ll never let you down. My youngest boy tops his beans off with a poached or fried egg.
Another "student" tip is to add half a tin of baked beans to the frying pan when frying eggs and bacon. Add to the pan when the eggs and bacon are just about done. Then when the beans are nicely bubbling, slide the lot onto 2 slices of buttered toast, add lashings of HP brown sauce and serve. Saves on the washing up.
You really make me smile! Beans on toast is absolutely fantastic, quick and easy lunch. Merry Christmas Joel, hope it's a good one for you. Stay safe and well. Hugs from across the pond! 👌🙏🤶🎅🎄🇬🇧
Hilarious watching you swap the saucepan for a frying pan to cook those beans, Joel😂 You had it right first time round... But it worked, I have to say! They cooked🤷🏼♂️👍🏼
OMG!!! All the to-ing and fro-ing with the cutlery!!! The British way of using cutlery is so less complicated! You should learn how to eat the British way!! We have the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left and LEAVE THEM THERE!!!!
Phew, not just me then. All I was thinking was, for gawd sake someone take over and teach him how to make beans on toast. But above all that, teach him how to use a knife and fork. Too much faffing about to get a five minute job done.
@@Supraboyes I've watched another video where an American uses the cutlery the same way. It looks like a child learning to use a knife and fork, but just can't get the hold right. Lol.
That wasn't burnt toast, that was well done toast, and just how I like it. Btw, your butter was hard because its been in the fridge, next time, maybe get the butter out about half an hour before. You're a very nice young man Joel, and I really like your videos.
JP, I love how you treated this as some sort of gourmet meal lol. "Perfect beans to toast ratio!' Lol. It's nice to see someone so excited by an easy comfort meal that most of us take for granted! Next up, a full English breakfast......for Kings! Great review as always, and happy Christmas to you and yours!
Here's how I make beans on toast: Put the beans in a saucepan, add a squirt of brown sauce and a knob of butter. Heat them until the beans start turning into mush (overcook them), then pour them over buttered hot toast. (add a few flakes of chili to the beans if you like a bit of warmth) Cheesy Beanos: Same as above but pour the beans over cheese on toast,
Beans on toast is so versatile as you now know you can add things to it to enhance or just eat it plain and simple. So glad you got to try this and hope that your making a cuppa is as enjoyable too. Wishing you all the best for tomorrow (Christmas Day) and for 2022.
Great presentation! One thing I always do is pre warm the plate in the oven. I hate hot food on cold plates, maybe this is just me? Glad you enjoyed it all, Merry Christmas everyone...
We just call it a toaster. Great attempt, although I would have melted the cheese into the beans in the pan, but you’ve inspired me to have beans on toast for lunch. It’s been ages since I’ve eaten this deliciousness!
The butter is cold because you're storing it in the fridge. In the winter try storing it in a shadowy part of the kitchen at room temperature away from direct sunlight. As long as you use your pack of butter in few weeks it'll be fine.
So interesting to watch someone eat beans on toast for the first time!! Kind of knew you would like it!! I have this quite a lot but with just a touch of black pepper on top rather than the cheese!! Great reaction and Merry Christmas!!
Hi. Thanks for sharing this, it was so endearingly funny to watch!🤣 I'm not a big fan of cheese so the only thing I add on top of the hot beans is a bit of good quality brown sauce. Job done! 😁
I did wonder how suitable the bread might be, as a lot of American bread has a silly amount of sugar in it. Sweet bread might make it weird. Also Kraft "cheddar"! I have a funny feeling that wouldn't even legally qualify as cheese over here.
A couple of years ago, my daughter went to Iowa, for a couple of weeks, and one of the first things she said when calling me was, that the bread was horrible! I told to have brown instead, as it'll probably have less sugar. A few days latter she called back and said that the brown bread was a good call.
I feel a little guilty for giggling at this video 🤭 I often forget that the whole world doesn't eat what we do here in the UK. Joel, you did a great job with the beans on toast xxx Edit: Everyone has this differently. Obviously there's beans and toast, some like butter and some don't. I put Marmite in my beans and my mom uses Worcestershire sauce. I put cheese in the beans and my sister puts in on the top. It can be as basic or full of extras as you'd like xxx
Worcestershire with lots of black pepper! I lived on campus when I studied in the UK; beans were served with every meal. Haven't eaten beans on toast since. Just can't face them.
Glad you liked it. It is very popular here and takes 5 minutes to make. Dont use butter straight from the fridge it is too hard. Put beans and cheddar cheese in the microwave so the cheese melts with the beans. You can also add crispy bacon which is nice. Nice crisp toast at least to start with! Some add HP sauce too.
I'm from Scotland and we have baked beans on toast with cheese, the way you cooked it in your video is the way that I personally would cook it. Also you can add some diced cured smoked bacon to the beans and cheese , which is absolutely delicious.
That’s how we cook in a power cut when microwave doesn’t work because of power cut. It’s much less time consuming to put in it in microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes than wait for 5 minutes
@@NicholasJH96 you need a plastic lid over beans whether it's a microwavable plate or not. They explode all over we use a bowl with a plastic lid ontop but not sealed so the steam can escape.
Make a bowl of heated beans with melted cheese mixed in, have buttered toast with a Thin layer of marmite or similar spread to dunk into beans anytime day or night very filling. Great vid Jps
Good healthy food, cheap and easy to cook - the saviour of many an impecunious British student! You can freeze baked beanz as well, remove them from the tin and just put them in a freezer pot - about half a tin is usually more than enough for me on toast.

Nah we don’t! Do what you want duck!
@@amyyy3477 Yes we do.
😂😂
Quite! Enough with the modern "accepting and inclusive" stance we are all told we should take nowadays! Old fashioned and a little bit painful though it might be, at least I am today unthinkingly comfortable in the use of cutlery. I'm guessing you were properly taught too otherwise this tragic failure of not even etiquette - BASIC life skills - wouldn't have caught your eye so noticeably.
When I was growing up there was very much the "right way" and "oh for the love of the living Christ NO - NOT like THAT"😄
Perhaps while I momentarily have the attention of someone who seems to think along the same lines, I wonder if I could have your feedback on this? Going to the doctor these days, seems to involve a terrifying merry-go-round of decisions apparently I have to make in response to "treatment options" and "different strategies". I don't know if you have encountered this but again, growing up as a child in the 70s and 80s, if you had anything wrong with you, you went to the GP and onward to a specialist if necessary which it wasn't, usually. Instead, I remember the doctor asking questions about symptoms, arranging a blood and urine test, prodding and poking around a bit, taking BP and temperature readings and more often than not, scribbling something in what might have easily passed for Old Church Slavonic onto a prescription pad, the items duly picked up from the chemist by my mother and whichever tinctures, unguents and extracts administered over the proceeding week on the dot and no arguments😆
I just have the overwhelming urge to reply something like "why are you asking me? I've presumed that you are the one here with the years of arduous medical training, several advanced degrees and professional experience behind you, I was rather therefore hoping you would be the one to tell me!"
But I haven't yet done it because in truth I know that even doctors are under the cosh of little managers and a forest of regulations that didn't exist when they were trainees. And one suspects they hate it as much as I do...😉
I’d heard how weird Americans use cutlery but I’d never seen it. 😂
😂
Yeah weird as
Please don't take any aspect of this video and think it's typical American. 😅 We're currently watching on the TV and my husband just said "damn. This is giving me anxiety" It's entertaining at least.
cack handed, needs to use the knife in one and the fork in the other.
Bizarre!
Still laughing at you opening the beans with a tin opener. And how adorable were you saying 'I don't know why the butter is so hard', minutes after taking it out the fridge. Great reaction, really enjoyable to watch and that's coming from a heretic who can't stand even the smell of baked beans.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and to all your online community.
@Bluepurgatory1 I know, it was hilarious.
@Bluepurgatory1 I was like but it’s posh beans so you just pull it off. 🤣
@Bluepurgatory1 Yep, i think many of us were saying: Er but theres a ring pull Joel! ? 😆 .. Such a great lad isn't he! 🙂 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Yeah when I saw that I was about to say our tins have ring pulls, like a can of soda. But he resorted to that in the end.
Just made me wonder of they not have ring pulls on American cans as ut standard in cans in the 🇬🇧 UK nut still a few with out
Hi from the U.K.! There is nothing better than a plate of Heinz beans. When we say pan we mean saucepan. Not frying pan! Glad to see you are enjoying British food. Sausages go really well with them too.
There are loads of good bean brands. Branson beans win out on blind taste tests. Heinz are for brand slaves who like to waste their money
I can't wait for him to make a full English breakfast 😂
You Tube wouldn't support an 8 and a half hour video.
With his cutlery handling skills, it would take him a day to eat it.
Do you think he will have the black pudding it’s not a fry up with our that
@@lindalawson7400 he would eat it....as long as no one tells him what its made of....lol
@@lindalawson7400 And fried bread :)
“Toaster oven” - cute!
Notice the way he eats - American style - cutting with the knife, putting the knife down, transferring the fork to his right hand etc. Different to how we do in the UK and Europe.
Who ever taught him fork skills needs a slap lol I had an American friend come over to the UK and they used the fork like that cut everything up then used the fork in right hand to scoop lol
@@PatrickAtkinFineArt Slap his mum? :o
@@PatrickAtkinFineArt It's the way all north Americans eat. In Europe we keep both knife and fork in our hands, and use the knife to push food onto the prongs of the fork. That's not the way they do it in USA.
@@Knappa22 No it's NOT the way all North Americans eat lol
I grew up in Canada and use my knife and fork that way too.
Just some advice, 1. you can heat the beans in the microwave 2. Try to butter the toast quickly whilst it's hot. The trick is to prepare this meal as quickly as possible before it all gets cold x
1: Takes butter out of fridge
2: "I don't know why it's so cold and hard"
🤣🤣🤣
Next we'll need to teach you how to use a knife and fork!
I know. it looks so clumsy, and that seems to be the way a lot of Americans mishandle them. Why put the knife down? It's a tool for manipulating the food into the fork, not just for cutting!
I think with the butter it's partially the ingredients. I moved from the UK to the US almost a decade ago, American butter seems exceptionally rock hard, it didn't take long for me to switch to an imported Irish butter for a consistency I'm more used to. From my experience taking the butter out of the fridge earlier, the imported butter will become softer before the American butter does too.
As for the knife/fork usage it always amuses me that every American I know here will mostly cut with the knife, put it down and swap the fork over to the other hand to eat.
Never seen beans cooked in a frying pan before. Random. We usually microwave them or put them in a saucepan. Also a good idea to shake the can before pouring. Mixes up the tomato sauce. I love beans on toast but I never put butter on it. Increases the calories unnecessarily for what is, on the whole, quite a healthy meal. Good effort though.
Olivia Hamm Should use reduced sugar beans if you're worried about making it healthier. Butter is healthier than sugar fyi...
The butter kind of acts like a barrier and stops the bread getting too soggy.
@@ticketyboo2456 they're disgusting though.
Butter. Essential x
@@ticketyboo2456 Reduced sugar beans are disgusting
You are making me so hungry ,think I’m going to make myself some . My Mum used to make us beans on toast for lunch .You did a great job ,good for you !
From an English perspective you have a very different etiquette when it comes to use of cutlery
You need to learn how to hold a fork,, maybe you can find a video on how to use cutlery like us Brits,,
It was indeed uncomfortable to watch this nice young man eat 😅
in the UK we use the knife and fork "European" style as we do not transfer the fork to the opposite hand but keep it in the left not swapping out, knife in right and fork in left cut and eat. the American style looks odd to UK eyes
It was rather painful to watch Joel cut the toast,
This is not an American style... This kid just never learned to use a fork and knife.
It looked really awkward! I laughed out loud when he said "I haven't used this stove in a while..." I'm tipping 'a while' really means 'never'.
@@privatecitizen5264
OK, I'll take your word for it but I have seen in American restaurants (in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York, the state as well as the city) that the locals cut all the food on the plate in one go then spend the rest of their meal stabbing the food with their forks.
Uncultured is the word 😂🤣😂
Beans on toast is my go-to comfort food, always with grated cheddar on top. When I had tin of beans in the USA it came as a surprise to find the they were in some kind of brown bbq style sauce. Watching this video, I never realised 'making' beans on toast was such a complex and long-winded process. As everyone is commenting on it, the cutlery use also seems complex and long-winded; very awkward.
You really are a delightful person…your videos never fail to give me huge pleasure.
Try adding a little Worcestershire sauce to the beans as they cook, plus a dash of salt and pepper. For added fiber content, have over some multigrain toast.
Why u tryna over complicate it its fine how it is
That was great - opening a ring pull tin with a tin opener is normally performed drunk.
hats off for JPS for going out on a leg and trying something new. Thanks for the great content!
Out on a limb surly!
@@johngardiner6800 Surely surely.
Joel, you are sweetness personified and bless you for making yet another attempt on the humble baked bean. I think that effort earns you a B (you screwed up the buttering of the toast) so already your previous atrocities are forgotten. Everybody has their own style as the other comments here attest. I like to use half a can of beans which I place on one slice but have three other slices available so that I can slide remaining beans onto each slice in turn. That is the point, Beans are comfort food so do it in the way that you most like.
Give it a rest, Derek.
#Likeslittleboys
You're absolutely correct we don't butter the bread
Bless lol asa British grandma it’s so funny and sweet to see someone trying beans lol. It’s something we have from little kids so no one by your age wouldn’t know the taste. I was shouting ring pull can though. Enjoy watching you seem like a nice person. Regards from the Uk
A great, quick, cheap, meal that is the mainstay of most British teenagers and students, and 'go-to' for life. I melt the cheese on the toast under the grill (broiler), before serving the beans on top.
Never tried that. Sounds great.
I like to heat the beans more slowly for a longer time until the sauce is thick. You get less of a sloppy mess on the plate. Dark toast is definitely better for this! Have it for supper.
I think that's why there is a lot of sauce. It'll reduce as you simmer it so they have to make sure there's enough.
I like sludgy beans, too. Not everyone does.
Oh my word beans on toast a British staple. So funny to see you making it for the first time, when we eat it all the time. Great to see you’re enjoying British food. Love the video.
Eat it using your cutlery like an English person it’s far easier, glad you enjoyed it, my favourite is 1/2 tin of warmed baked beans on toast with a poached egg on top. Loving your channel.
Keep the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right! You hold your fork in a very strange way for a Brit.
ive just had that for tea myself
I’m less than 2 mins in but usually find it hilarious watching you guys from the US try our stuff. The last US lady who I watched try to make tea, cracked me the hell up.
Never been so excited watching someone make beans on toast! Think I'll have some for my brekkie now... :)
was thinking the same thing
I'm gonna make a bacon and egg sarny now
See how my guy holds a fork 😂
Thinking exactly the same thing. With egg on top and sausage on the side. Yummers.
Me too got a rumble in my tummy I'm going to make beans on toast now 😋😋😋
Very interesting to see such formality in making beans on toast! normally you go to a mate's house and he makes it for you without even looking what he is doing, as it is such a normal part of British life.
As a child, we had beans on toast whenever we went to a cafe. I even remember my dad and me eating beans on toast in the kitchen while my sister was being born upstairs! For me it's the ultimate comfort food, especially when sick e.g. with a cold.
You should try them with HP brown sauce on mate! I've really enjoyed watching your videos this past year, your intellect is sharp, your heart is warm and your delivery is refreshingly sincere. Brilliant stuff, bloody well done chap!
HP sauce is no longer British sadly 😒
You won't get a better compliment than what D J Morgan has just said, Joel. If I were you I would cut and paste it somewhere really permanent. It sums up your work here perfectly. Do treasure it.
I always thought baked beans on toast was more universal.
A fact I have just seen. The UK eats more cans of baked beans than the rest of the world combined. 1.5 million cans of Heinz Beanz are sold every day in the UK. That's just one brand.
This is so funny. Using a frying pan to heat the beans. And using a tin opener on a ring pull Tin. Thank you so much for making me laugh I needed it. Good job 👍🏻
I was fascinated to see the way you held the fork when cutting the toast , quite amusing .that aside it looked really good . I usually have mine double decked . Have a good Christmas Joel , best wishes from the U.K. 🇬🇧
The American cutlery style is very strange.
Watching Americans trying to use cutlery is always amusing.
I’m sure there are some videos on here showing how countries use cutlery differently. Something to try next, using the fork the way it’s used in the UK. Guarantee it’ll feel odd for someone from the US
I am American and I can tell you that is not the usual way we hold a fork. I think that is his own particular style. It does look kind of awkward.
It looks so awkward when Americans try to use cutlery 😳😁 Glad you enjoyed it Joel, very good attempt, 👍
I have noticed that many Americans cannot seem to use cutlery properly... Joel looks as if he has never used a fork and holds it very awkwardly indeed! LOL!
But its so easy to be 'picky' and considering it was his first attempt, the boy did good 👍 😊
I was about to say the same thing. Surely it's easier to eat holding both the knife and fork instead of constantly putting the knife down. It looks most odd.
I was searching for this comment. Watching him holding the fork like that then putting the knife down and switchig hands just to pick the knife back up to put more beans on and then do it all again was some so painful to watch, the actual beans on toast was good but americans really need to learn how to use cutlery would save them so much time, effort and just looking akward
wait wait wait wait wait. Is that really what you guys think is an American thing 🤣 it’s too funny watching him use the fork and knife because I’m American and I’ve never used mine like that, and my family doesn’t either 😂
I'm afraid in the UK now many youngsters don't know how to use a knife and fork as they don't sit-down now to proper family meals.
Cut with knife in your right hand, eat from fork in left hand
Also: Try heating in microwave. It gives you more sauce :)
Also: Cut toast into fingers -&- use them as edible spoons.
( keeps your toast toasty and crunchy from start to finish )
Anyhow, it was a hoot how you enjoyed our beans on toast
You made a humble meal very entertaining to watch. Enjoy
You’re a star, Joel. Glad you enjoyed your meal. You must qualify for the honorary Brit title by now! Have a great Christmas 🎄
my American parents always ate this. Don't know where the idea came from. They used cold beans & mayo instead of butter. I thought it was a Depression Era food.
Anyone else feel like staging an intervention over his use of the fork? 🤣 Hint: It’s a FORK mate, not a shovel!
Everything was perfectly done, the beans cool down quickly so I would just pour the beans directly on to the toast to save time. Good tip is to leave the butter out so it’s easier to spread. A yummy addition would be a few dashes of Worcestershire Sauce on the beans 😋 this dish is a perfect lunch on a cold day.
I've gone far too gourmet with my beans on toast, Marmite on the toast, chopped onions and cheese mixed in while cooking, can't go back from that.
A poached egg on top is good..Had that for my Christmas lunch 😋😋😋
Im not keen on baked beans as they come out of the tin, not enough flavour. for years I added a good squirt of ketchup to spice them up a bit but for the last couple of years Ive replaced that with one or 2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce instead of the ketchup. Niiice
Or a touch of Curry. Yum!
My favourite…..I fry up bacon pieces, and when they’re done drop in a tin of Hienz ‘Ham Baked Beans’. I let them bubble for a minute, then eat them with Hot buttered toast.
Yes US, Butter your toast when its golden brown an HOT!!
Marmite needed
Never have I been so excited about seeing someone making beans on toast 😂 Have a great Xmas Joel!
It's ridiculous how much I've just enjoyed watching you cook beans on toast and how pleased I was that you did actually like them 😅 I have loved watching your videos this year, taking the chance to see familiar things anew through your eyes; you have an open, enquiring mind and a kind heart, and I wish you and your family the warmest wishes for Christmas 💙
Not everyone does it but you could add a touch of butter to the beans while they heat up or a dash of milk that can make a touch more juice while cooking them. I add the dash of milk to mine.. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
This has put the biggest grin on my face! Looking forward to seeing you try more UK classics. In other words, more vids like this please. 😃
How have I just watched someone make beans on toast like I’m watching a Michelin starred chef cook some new fancy recipe lol
Just seen this video! And as a Brit who loves and Beens on toast lunch, I’m so glad that you lived this! One tip when having cheese. Don’t just put the cheese on as you are about to serve. Put the cheese on before grilling. The cheese will then melt in!
I believe the beans are already cooked when they're sold in the shops, the purpose of heating them is just to make them warm rather than to cook them, you only really need to heat the beans until the sauce starts to boil, so it doesn't matter the temperature or time you do it for. It's a dish you'd struggle to mess up once you know
They are cooked so fine to eat cold - straight from the tin with a spoon when you are hungover. Not that I’m talking from experience or anything.
My dad used to make this for me when I was a kid. I don't know why but I always eat the beans off the toast first and then eat the soggy toast last, which is actually my favourite part 😂 I still have it every now and then.
You're not the only one. That's how I'd eat it too :)
Baked beans are good for your regularity and also an alternative to a whole meal. Easily done in a frying pan or skillet. That, toast and eggs will set you up for a whole day till the evening meal. Add a couple of egs and that is really a meal.
You can live off beans on toast when you are away at Uni - I know, I did. lol. Add a soft poached egg on top for an extra protein hit. Baked beans can be part of breakfast when served in a full English (bacon - real bacon not what you call bacon in the US, sausage, fried eggs, mushrooms, fried bread), on toast would normally be a lunch.
Watching an American using cutlery (silverware) is painful, Why do they make it look so complicated? 🤣At one point he was using the knife as a fork and the fork as a knife, Some of the angles he had to hold his wrist looked painful. Have a go using cutlery the British style, i'm sure theres some video about it you could react to. It will make eating beans on toast so much simpler, and probably eating in general 😉
There's a video in there somewhere......how to correctly use a knife and fork (notice its not fork and knife!!!).
I knew someone would mention it. hehehe You didnt let me down!
Americans are use to eating with their hands, not with a knife and fork.
@@MadwifeCinda he has, that's just the way Americans do it. We used to do it the same way but as fashion changed we adopted the French way of doing it. The USA never changed (in the same way they say Fall for Autumn - we changed they didn't)
I can see why people have a problem with a fork and knife. If they are right handed they want to use the right hand for the knife then they feel they must continue to use the right hand for the fork going into the mouth. I am right handed for everything except eating. I use my left hand for cutting with the knife and the right hand for the fork.
I want him as a pet 😂
Imagine how confused he'd be if I told him to poach an egg with it 😂
Your adventurous.
He struggles to cook beans on toast and the tin comes with instructions.
Poaching a egg would drive him crazy. Think I'd love to see him do it though😂😋😋
Aye 😂😂😂😂
Given he had the frying pan could had fried an egg.
Poaching is weird but also popular lol
He does have adoreableness , even if frustrating cooking and cutlery use lol
Oh god the pan and can opener was one if the best things I've ever seen 🤣thank you so much
Great effort, my kids love beans on toast they put 1 slice of toast buttered then add half the can of bean then put another slice of toast on top as if making a sandwich. Add the rest of the beans with white cheddar cheese and mix in brown sauce ( like ketchup) We also have tinned spaghetti on toast, it’s the same method with out the cheese though. It’s a quick filling snack and it’s also comfort food than if all else fails you can have something on toast and it’ll never let you down. My youngest boy tops his beans off with a poached or fried egg.
Another "student" tip is to add half a tin of baked beans to the frying pan when frying eggs and bacon. Add to the pan when the eggs and bacon are just about done. Then when the beans are nicely bubbling, slide the lot onto 2 slices of buttered toast, add lashings of HP brown sauce and serve. Saves on the washing up.
You really make me smile! Beans on toast is absolutely fantastic, quick and easy lunch. Merry Christmas Joel, hope it's a good one for you. Stay safe and well. Hugs from across the pond! 👌🙏🤶🎅🎄🇬🇧
Hilarious watching you swap the saucepan for a frying pan to cook those beans, Joel😂 You had it right first time round...
But it worked, I have to say! They cooked🤷🏼♂️👍🏼
Oh bless his darling heart! This has made my day what a star X
Joel, you're so funny, heating the beans in a frying pan ☺️ Glad you liked it !
I’m Australian and grew up eating this 😂 it’s delicious I still eat it now 🤤
Throughout the commonwealth
Surely it's gone off by now. :)
OMG!!! All the to-ing and fro-ing with the cutlery!!! The British way of using cutlery is so less complicated! You should learn how to eat the British way!! We have the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left and LEAVE THEM THERE!!!!
Phew, not just me then. All I was thinking was, for gawd sake someone take over and teach him how to make beans on toast. But above all that, teach him how to use a knife and fork. Too much faffing about to get a five minute job done.
But the way he holds them to 🙄. Poor lad
@@Supraboyes I've watched another video where an American uses the cutlery the same way. It looks like a child learning to use a knife and fork, but just can't get the hold right. Lol.
That wasn't burnt toast, that was well done toast, and just how I like it. Btw, your butter was hard because its been in the fridge, next time, maybe get the butter out about half an hour before. You're a very nice young man Joel, and I really like your videos.
Yes. Hazelnut is tolerably pale for toast. Mahogany is the right colour. If it goes beyond to Ebony, silver, grey, or white, it's overdone.
yeah Id call it toast. Some people think warm bread is toast imo
@@scottythedawg Even if it catches fire you can scrape of the charcoal bits and you're good to go
I never thought beans on toast could be so complicated!? 😂
JP, I love how you treated this as some sort of gourmet meal lol. "Perfect beans to toast ratio!' Lol. It's nice to see someone so excited by an easy comfort meal that most of us take for granted! Next up, a full English breakfast......for Kings! Great review as always, and happy Christmas to you and yours!
Want him to try soft boiled egg..an poached egg ..!..??? Hmmmm!
Would you try that jps ..?..x
The thing is i dont like the toast to get soft with the beans on it so dip the toast in the beans like a soft egg!
Here's how I make beans on toast:
Put the beans in a saucepan, add a squirt of brown sauce and a knob of butter. Heat them until the beans start turning into mush (overcook them), then pour them over buttered hot toast. (add a few flakes of chili to the beans if you like a bit of warmth)
Cheesy Beanos: Same as above but pour the beans over cheese on toast,
I also overcook them until they turn mushy and the sauce is super thick 😁👍 I hate when they're swimming in runny sauce 😳
Defo knob of butter in beans
@@lilih8478 you can heat them gently just until the sauce thickens and the beans are soft not mushy . usuing a gas hob mekes it easier .
I’ve never seen beans on toast look so complicated but what a wee sweetheart he is 😊🌸
Beans on toast is so versatile as you now know you can add things to it to enhance or just eat it plain and simple. So glad you got to try this and hope that your making a cuppa is as enjoyable too. Wishing you all the best for tomorrow (Christmas Day) and for 2022.
Great presentation! One thing I always do is pre warm the plate in the oven. I hate hot food on cold plates, maybe this is just me? Glad you enjoyed it all, Merry Christmas everyone...
You are absolutely right old bean, I pre-heat my coffee mug too.
Definitely yes
I preheat my Wife.
@@Chris66able Lol.....I bet you do!....
Pre heat the plate !! Never. Are you from Windsor 😁😉
For that little extra kick put some chilli powder in the beans! You made me smile discovering the humble beans on toast.
We just call it a toaster.
Great attempt, although I would have melted the cheese into the beans in the pan, but you’ve inspired me to have beans on toast for lunch. It’s been ages since I’ve eaten this deliciousness!
I thought "toaster oven" was so American!
We Americans also call a toaster, a toaster. Joel has misspoken. A toaster oven is another device entirely.
Four whole slices for yourself and not even a bite for the poor cameraman? I bet he was drooling in anticipation! 🤤😂
Haha I noticed that too. Jps could had cut each slice in half = 2 slices each
The butter is cold because you're storing it in the fridge. In the winter try storing it in a shadowy part of the kitchen at room temperature away from direct sunlight. As long as you use your pack of butter in few weeks it'll be fine.
Add a fried egg on top of the beans, the egg runs over the beans and toast. In the UK this is a lunch time meal. Love your uploads, I'm from Wales, UK
And I add a splash of soy sauce 👍🏽
Ohhhh yes, now you're talking, delicious 😋. Greetings from England 😀
A poached egg is better
Not if you like a hard yolk in a fried egg.
I mainly have it for breakfast tbh I thought most people did. 😂
So interesting to watch someone eat beans on toast for the first time!! Kind of knew you would like it!! I have this quite a lot but with just a touch of black pepper on top rather than the cheese!! Great reaction and Merry Christmas!!
Absolutely, beans on toast with grated cheese and some black pepper, awesome easy meal.
I too add black pepper 👌
Hi. Thanks for sharing this, it was so endearingly funny to watch!🤣
I'm not a big fan of cheese so the only thing I add on top of the hot beans is a bit of good quality brown sauce. Job done! 😁
I did wonder how suitable the bread might be, as a lot of American bread has a silly amount of sugar in it. Sweet bread might make it weird.
Also Kraft "cheddar"! I have a funny feeling that wouldn't even legally qualify as cheese over here.
A couple of years ago, my daughter went to Iowa, for a couple of weeks, and one of the first things she said when calling me was, that the bread was horrible! I told to have brown instead, as it'll probably have less sugar. A few days latter she called back and said that the brown bread was a good call.
The bread Subway use in the UK apparently has so much sugar they legally aren't allowed to call it "Bread"!

Edit: Everyone has this differently. Obviously there's beans and toast, some like butter and some don't. I put Marmite in my beans and my mom uses Worcestershire sauce. I put cheese in the beans and my sister puts in on the top. It can be as basic or full of extras as you'd like xxx
Worcestershire with lots of black pepper! I lived on campus when I studied in the UK; beans were served with every meal. Haven't eaten beans on toast since. Just can't face them.

Great video, really enjoyed it! 😂😘
Great job mate! You've succeeded in making me want some beans on toast now haha. Looking forward to the tea video. Merry Christmas!
Shoulda tried it with a squirt of HP sauce… compliments beans brilliantly… you actually made eating it look sooo difficult… made me chuckle 🙊
@David Cat and some bacon nd fried mushrooms on top of that 😉… basically a Fryup 😂
Ketchup.... or as I learnt in Disney land a long time ago Catsup
Pure filth.
Glad you liked it. It is very popular here and takes 5 minutes to make. Dont use butter straight from the fridge it is too hard. Put beans and cheddar cheese in the microwave so the cheese melts with the beans. You can also add crispy bacon which is nice. Nice crisp toast at least to start with! Some add HP sauce too.
I'm from Scotland and we have baked beans on toast with cheese, the way you cooked it in your video is the way that I personally would cook it. Also you can add some diced cured smoked bacon to the beans and cheese , which is absolutely delicious.
That’s how we cook in a power cut when microwave doesn’t work because of power cut. It’s much less time consuming to put in it in microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes than wait for 5 minutes
@@NicholasJH96 you need a plastic lid over beans whether it's a microwavable plate or not. They explode all over we use a bowl with a plastic lid ontop but not sealed so the steam can escape.
Make a bowl of heated beans with melted cheese mixed in, have buttered toast with a Thin layer of marmite or similar spread to dunk into beans anytime day or night very filling. Great vid Jps
If I use marmite I prefer to to put a small dollop of it into the beans. Just makes it easier... and so tasty! 😋👍🏻
This is just so adorable on every level.
Good healthy food, cheap and easy to cook - the saviour of many an impecunious British student! You can freeze baked beanz as well, remove them from the tin and just put them in a freezer pot - about half a tin is usually more than enough for me on toast.
