The fact that you went back for a 2nd bite of the shepherds pie knowing you’ll burn yourself so bad said it’s worth it. I can’t wait to try this at home. Maybe not with store bought mashed but I see what you were going for. Thank you for taking the time out to share this with us.

It's called 'Knowing how to cook.' I can achieve the same look on my wife's face, every meal, because I, like Sam, ....can cook. If you can cook and make someone laugh, you will never be lonely or wanting.
I think that your cooking is great ! You just know that if you make it ,it will be great. But what I really enjoy is how proud you are of your sons and you show it..
Alton Brown debunked that mushroom myth back in 2000 on the Fungal Gourmet episode of Good Eats. J Kenji Lopez-Alt also did tests with it only adding about 1% water to the mushrooms, which only takes seconds to evaporate at temperature. It’s unnecessary to keep pushing out of date ideas, and with the prevalence of food-borne illness and deregulation running rampant right now, it might be a much better idea to wash and add a bit of heat time. The old ways are not always the best ways.
@@JaronPower Except 'shrooms are grown in a special dung-rich blended soil. Adds that extra "earthiness" to the flavor. Kind of like the coffee beans that are removed from the dung of monkeys before roasting. Mmmm-mmmm.
Don't let some guy on RU-vid tell you NOT to wash your mushrooms, because you SHOULD. In our professional kitchen we wash ALL produce, no exceptions, our health inspector would take points off for not washing mushrooms that literally grow in s*#t.
As a former "produce guy", almost anything can end up in the floor and into the rack, especially the freaking strawberries, those stupid containers are junk and split open every chance they get. You really should wash stuff anyways, it's probably been in dirtier places than the floor before it was even packed and delivered to the store.
100%. The thing is, most of these farms are using some kind of illegal labor and not providing adequate, available restrooms... so... where do you think they poop on massive fruit and vegetable farms? Yep. In the middle of the field. Wash your fruits and vegetables. At least rinse them (even mushrooms - rinse gently and drain on paper towels at least).
Sam I couldn’t be more serious..........I’m subscribed to at least 150 channels and I must say yours is my favorite!!! Not only is the food delicious, but you and Max are very entertaining as well!!!! Thx for doing what you do!

I have been making grilled PB&J for friends and family for 15 years now. Not a single person hasn't been blown away and im glad this glorious sandwich is getting the publicity it deserves!
From what I had learned in my food safety class is that you should wash your mushrooms if they're still whole, but do it right before cooking or else they will get slimy. If they are pre sliced, do your best to wipe any dirt or grime on the mushroom and maybe do a quick sprits of water with them in a colander then quickly pat them all dry with paper towel.
Cottage pie = ground beef, Shepherd's pie = lamb. (But you knew that...) Just a thought, why don't you keep a glass of water nearby for when you are scalding your mouth?
This food is literally killing me slowly, and I want more. I also love the sound of mowing and garden work in the background. Like ambience noise to support the beauty of this food being made.
Sam: "You don't rinse mushrooms. How dare you even work in produce if you think mushrooms are to be rinsed." Also Sam: "I will absolutely continue to refer to this spring roll as an egg roll as if there's no distinct difference."
Sam, made the cheesesteak egg rolls Sunday and they were the hit of the party. Tonight it was the shepherds pie and again, home run! Thank you and Keep up the great videos.
3:25 - Alton Brown did an episode on food myths (mythbusters style) ages ago in the original series. Mushrooms *don't* soak up water like a sponge. It's a myth.
Now gentlemen.... Challah Bread French Toast Grilled PBJs. It doesn’t matter when, where or the fucking timeline or universe! That would be a beautiful munchies meal
So the “shepherds pie” you made with ground beef isn’t a shepherds pie. It’s a cottage pie. Shepherds pie is made with lamb. You know because shepherds look after sheep
@@vanessajayde The sunday joint was sometimes Beef. Those who live in 'cottages' used to be on low incomes. So they would make some sort of meal out of the scraps of the Sunday joint and the vegetables they had in their kitchens. What they came up with was a minced beaf dish with mashed potato on top, and it was just called 'Cottage Pie' for ease of reference.
I made the same comment on Gordon's video. He did the same thing....... smh... Ramsay should have known better....i'll cut Sam a little slack !! Oh and just being super picky... those were Wonton wrappers not spring roll....spring roll wrappers are typically rice paper and round....lol
I hate to admit this, but the joy I get watching these videos is about 85 percent from Sam burning himself when he eats his masterpiece while it's still 1000 degrees.
I am a retired truck driver. And cooking is not something I do. I am going to try all these. thanks for making this look so easy and so good. New subscriber and enjoy this very much. Thanks again.
I pick mushrooms in the rain all the time and they're just fine, as long as you're not soaking them in water you'll be good. It's personal preference I suppose
Sam, I might be a minority but I like hearing the gardeners in the background. It makes this whole video feel more relaxing and like a sunny Sunday afternoon and your sitting in the back yard with your family and life couldn't be better.
Have to disagree on the mushroom myth. Alton Brown covered that on an episode of Good Eats (season 8, episode 15). While mushrooms will absorb a tiny bit of water it is an insignificant amount.
I've been voting daily since day 1 Sam the man. By the way, my favorite "Sam-ism" are the over the glasses looks after a bite whilst looking for the roll of paper towels to wipe your mouth, AND..... every time your lack of patience gets the best of you and you place a spoon sized serving of LAVA HOT FOOD in your mouth. Cracks me up every time. Btw, absolutely LOVE your vids 👍
I always assumed shepherds and cottage pie was just a British thing. Proper winter dishes you can't go wrong. Glad to see its enjoyed over the water too
23:30. Anyone who questions the pb&j needs to try it. I've been doing it for years. I'm never going back to a cold pb&j. I wrote this before I heard Chance say that lol. Also, put butter on the inside, too. I'm not sure if he did that too.
Sam is me: Sam: Takes a bite of boiling bubbly shepherds pie. Instantly regrets it. Also Sam: So good I forgot how much it hurt and goes in for another bite. More instant regret.😂😫😂😫
