Haha okay in retrospect, I realize that looked like I was gunning up to propose - and while she didn’t know what the cards were going to say, I’ve already promised her I won’t propose on camera :)
I can’t stop thinking about how you added the word digestive on top of these cookies just to turn them into dust. True artistry. update: ok biscuits whatever i'm american pray for me
He made his own digestive biscuits, added the word digestive on top, and then turned them into dust to make a pie that he can't even eat, and Jess doesn't like
I dont get why people think the word digestive is such a bad thing? It doesn't just describe the end result. Digestive also refers to the beginning process (putting food in to your mouth) which is a pleasurable thing isn't it? And its not like they are called 'shit cookies' or 'turd biscuits' is it? They don't contain fecal matter. They are calked digestive biscuits for a reason. That readon being that they were thought to be beneficial to digestion. They were then, after a few years when science had advanced, thought not to be as good as at first they were thought to be. They kept the name, in Britain at least. The name seemed to put America as a whole off of the product, so they decided not to keep them. Their loss. They have had nearly 100 years without the deliciousness of digestives, but now you see hundreds of RU-vid videos where Americans are mullering the shit out of chocolate digestives and raving over how good they are! So maybe a bit of a comeback is happening? America. A country that bowked at the idea of a biscuit/cookie called a digestive, but then would quite happily eat something called 'shit on a shingle' and Hersheys chocolate, that contains a component also found in vomit, aswell as paraffin, as ut helps to keep the chocolate from melting in hotter weather. As my old Grandma' used to say "Get it eaten. It all goes to form a turd!".
I know, right? I was like...isn't the point of a crumb crust so you don't have to do so much work? If you're all about making things from scratch, why not make a pastry crust?
@@raynemichelle2996 Well, yeah. It also is a nicer combination with some fillings. It still made me think "What the...?" 😳 when Andrew said he was going to make biscuits from scratch to turn into a crumb crust. (And crumb crusts are easier, I think.)
Oh gosh I’ve done that before ... then proceeded to touch the boiling hot caramel to taste and spend the next 3 hours at the ER being laughed at by every doctor for the comical 2nd degree burn 🙃
“Very wet sand that you can retrieve with your fingers and press into little pancakes that hold their shape but not with any conviction” This man has a way with words that makes me keep coming back
I remember one time my mom's car got so hot due to me living in basically sun hell that a forgotten can of condensed milk actually turned halfway into dulce de leche
Nemo TheEight Allergic reactions depends on the person not the allergen, though I will grant you the ability of particles from the peanut to become airborne does give it the edge to killing someone, also what about skin contact?
To be fair, who doesn't have a crush on Colin Firth? 'I just wanted to tell you that even though this is our first Christmas together, I never want to spend another one without you' Catch me crying in the club, that was adorable.
The Banoffee Pie in my local bakery when I was living in Brisbane places the bananas on the bottom and the toffee on top and then the whipped cream. They also added Macadamia nuts to the pastry base - but left them in chunks. If you are allergic to bananas (and I believe you when you said you were) I have found this dish is nice if you replace the bananas with white flesh peaches.
As a Cuban who has made dulce de leche approximately a million times, I recommend simmering for like 6 hours, it gets so dark brown, thick, and delicious
As a tip for anyone who wants to try this at home, make the base from chocolate digestive biscuits (Google them if you aren't British/don't recognise the name), it ends up so much better with the chocolate.
Hold up chocolate digestive biscuits are I thing in the UK? That might be the best idea ever cause I frigging love chocolate biscuits and digestive biscuits
My little brother died in 2019, this was his signature dish (other than blue curry). Although simple, this is a labour of love taking over 24 hours to do properly. It’s one of the things I miss about him.
It's always great to see Banoffee Pie get international attention. I used to work in the restaurant where it was invented and it still gives me a sense of pride when I see it in the wild. There's one or two things about the way you made yours, though. Of course your own version is yours to do what you want with, but if you're going for the traditional one you wouldn't use a biscuit base. You have more control if you're making the digestives yourself, but they tend to be too sweet. In The Hungry Monk, they were evangelical about using a shortcrust pastry. You should also whip coffee into the cream (I hate coffee so I never do). I don't want to be one of those people who say it's not x dish if you don't do it exactly in y way. Buuuuuut, if you want to try it the traditional way, you might want to do those things slightly differently.
Even though you are 'one of those people' you conveyed the information in such a pleasant manner that I don't think anyone could be peeved off about it.
I made the *dulce de leche* after consulting this video again and it is amazing! I took the labels off the cans, filled the big pot so that the water was an inch above the can tops. Let it come to a boil and then lowered it to simmer with the top on for 2 hours, 15 minutes. THEN, since it was late at night, I cut the heat, removed it from the burner (top on) and just left the cans there to naturally cool over night. In the morning, the water was slightly below room temperature (not yet cool). I sprayed a tiny bit of Avocado Oil in a mason jar and put all that deliciousness inside. As a snack, we bought some cheesecake filling and cool whip. Add about two tablespoons of each to a bowl, then add a tablespoon of the dulce de leche and mix it up. Eat it as a dessert dip using graham crackers. SO GOOD!!! Thank you Babish!!! 🤗🤗🤗
The real reason he had a hard time putting the second can on top of it: Babish: hmm do I use this can for the video or for tonight??? Gosh choices.... idk.....OH FINE ILL MAKE THE VIDEO
As someone that goes into anaphalactic shock after even tasting a banana or banana flavored things, knowing another person loves food and has this problem makes me feel less alone.
@@MPROBOTO I remember someone pointing it out in some other video he made, even Chris from BA got mentioned for saying it the same way.. Maybe he missed that comment x)
@@mjstockebrand manjar can mean other things though, like custard. I've lived in a few Latin American countries and manjar was always a corn starch based custard.
A couple of ideas for future videos: * Shaolin Soccer - Sweetie’s sweet buns * Rio - “Coração flambado” and “Picanha” * Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory - special episode * Lady and the Tramp - romantic spaghetti Ft.

Please please please make “duck three extremely different ways” from Fawlty Towers. Don’t forget the critical step of beating your car with branches whilst swearing at it.
Theo Higgins I know right? I mean, she pronounces it in the film. Maybe it’s the whole UK/US Toffee/Taffy thing. Perhaps if it was Banaffy Pie he’d have nailed it.
To be fair, there is an “o” in the name of the food is being pronounced. It’s toffee, not taffy; which are different things. Plus, even though we say caramel weird we say almond a lot better in my opinion
