I’m Gen Z but was forced to eat this growing up so much I refuse to eat this or any sort of cottage pie. Probs didn’t hep my dad would add marmite and ketchup to it
As a meal, it was definitely around in the 1970s. Not common, but you did see it on occasion. There are even simpler meals, though, that I remember fondly – spam fritters, for example. Liver & onions with mashed potato. Canned meat stew (aka 'Hot Pot') with a baked potato.
Stew the carrots with the beef and onions with a few peas as well, and also mash the potatoes, and you've elevated this to a whole new level! Throw a bay leaf and some parsley in with the meat too
The most normal meal for 1970 in England. IN ENGLAND. There is in fact an entire world outside of England (even on your own island) that does not struggle to come up with foods that use flavors and spices and cooking methods that aren't boiling, who use seasonings other than "wetness" (which is the most common English seasoning in general use from 1912 until now)
This is the kind of stuff I grew up with in the American Midwest in an area where everyone’s grandparents came from Scandinavia. While comforting and simple, I am VERY glad I learned how to cook with spices as an adult 😬
IDEALLY IT WOULD BE GRASS-FED CHEMICAL FREE GROUND BEEF AROUND 80% LEAN. YOU DO NOT WANT IT MORE THAN 80% LEAN. YOU WANT ME TO BE AT LEAST 20% FAT BEEF TALLOW IS SUPERNATURAL FOR THE BODY. INSTEAD OF CAUSING HEART DISEASE IT REVERSES AND PREVENTS HEART DISEASE. THE POTATO AND CARROTS ARE HEALTHY REAL FOOD AND THE ONIONS ARE SUPER. OVERALL A DECENT NUTRITIOUS MEAL.
I miss all of my grandparents. I would give up so much to just be back in their house, smell my grandmother's cooking, travel with them, and enjoy their company
It's not the little weird creepy hands that bother me, it's not the absolutely rude biased comment so you make especially towards the west and how you always talk about how unique and great British food is. But it's how you say certain meals are certain things in the US or you try and get our history right about certain meals and you're always off by something drastic and I always want to say something like it pisses me off at first it didn't but I started liking your videos and then I started noticing a pattern of it and that's when I started pissing me off. I have ADHD so I can rant all day about a f**** bug that ran into my face but seriously man beans on toast or a sandwich with just french fries in it is pretty stoner tacky and lacking in my opinion I mean s*** in America when we want to do something like that we actually do it we put chicken tenders french fries and a meatball sub man and we'll call it a French chicken parm sub sandwich lol … Don't get me wrong vinegar on fried products is pretty good but we've been doing that here too especially with Italian sandwiches because America is a gigantic melting pot I think with the British empire the main immigrant influence you'll have with food is Indian and that's because y'all had taken over a part of India for a while and developed a taste for chicken marsala which was created basically for y'all. Anyways take it with a grain of salt or leave it, it's just my two cents it's just my opinion. Good day mate lol
Honest to God, if you added a handful of egg noodles to this and mashed the potatoes, you'd have a pretty good beef and noodles which is still a common dish in America where I'm from today. It ain't pretty but it probably tastes pretty good.
Can anyone tell what all he put in the meat? Like, I have no clue what that sauce is, & what is the white powder, corn starch or something else? And I assume that's just beef boullion? Asking because I'm totally going to make this.

This looks better than any other British plate I've ever seen 🎉
Yall just boil some carrots and potatoes with zero seasoning and call it a day, huh?
was everyone a bodybuilder back then? lol
Not gonna lie.
I'd devour that plate.
Looks absolutely disgusting.
God my parents used to make this up to the age of like 10, I think then they realised that this wasn’t good food
Looks like a dish my mom use to make us and I’m Mexican idk where she got that from loo
What was all that foodchem powder???

I thought that was wild rice on the side… speaking of which, I'd appreciate some wild rice.
Britain and england eat the most bare food
Meat and two veg is not only healthy but cheap. I can feed my family for a few dollars instead of a days pay.
Deconstructed shepherds pie
My Nan used to give this to me every time I went to hers for tea.
This is legit one of my favourite meals. So simple yes but very satisfying, and actually delicious
i do this but instead of potatos use rice its just as good, quick cheap and tasty
Adding Hendos makes everything better
I eat like this daily 😂

Y'all suck at making food so much Cheese and crackers! 😵💫😵
but now England is done is it halal?
Looks delicious
In Texas, some add tomato and pepper (minced jalapeno).
So Shepard pie? I eat this now with a biscuit

Born in Belfast in 1996… ate this at least once a week my entire childhood 😂😂 its phenomenal fyi
Trauma dump jumpscare
This is what I eat every day for the last 4 years. Went from a scrawny 175lbs to a muscular 220lbs. Around 17% body fat

As long as you season all of that properly it’s a good meal.

Cannae beat some good mince and tatties. Beef mince is horrendously expensive now.
Time to remember the Iron Lady and what she did for the uk … rest in peace Mrs Thatcher 🫡🙏
damn the English kept eating as if the Luftwaffe was still up there Blitzing.
This is very Dutch.
Damn that looks good as hell.
I am Aussie it was a stable meal of me growing up in the 60 &70's. I still make it occasionally.
That looks like something we ate when I was growing up here in the mountains of Tennessee. I'd love to try it!
Sure it could be a bit more love to it, but looks totally ok to me.

This looks bad. Rationing is not the excuse. Learn how to cook.
It would be 8/10 without the carrots.

I’m in Scotland and we have this once a week.
