+Tan Tan I mean you don’t exactly become a top global chef without ever cooking anything do you. He does a crap load of cooking tv shows which I’m sure everyone has seen, and he’s got published cook books and owns several Michelin star restaurants. Before that he was an apprentice chef under Marco Pierre White which means he would’ve worked in kitchens in multiple countries for many years I’m assuming, and I’m also assuming of the thousands of meals he’s cooked I don’t think they just scraped them all in the bin for a laugh. Just think about it for a minute.
That potato is not going to be well cooked, believe me.Takes longer than that to make it stew soft. That's more of a scramble, with cornbeef instead of eggs. He didn't use enough water to soften them up. Thats why they used canned veg usually, not fresh, as it cooked faster.
Imagine his company growing a lot because of WW1 kicking in. Every belligerent needs his instant ramen so that every soldier would be fed, and so he makes profit from it. Then the soldiers would thank him, if they survived.
Comment from original video unfortunately removed ''but with the help from a mate and a french farmer who didn't know he was helping " That's a very British way of saying he stole them
Everytime I'm skint and starving and only got pot noodles in the curbard I always watch this video and put the kettle on to do my pot noodle and realise no matter how bad my life gets in 2019/2020 it will never be has bad as these brave lads went thourgh so that we can live the live we have now..so I'm living the dream whatever I'm eating so beef and tomato pot noodle it is until pay day tomorrow. ..
The bloodiest battle of WWI, the battle for the sauce in 1917, a small battalion of Brits lost the sauce, so they went on a killing spree to retrieved the sauce, in all, there were 100 German casualties and 0 British casualties, all for the damn sauce.
I’m Canadian. Thank you. We all should remember, appreciate, and respect the sacrifices that were made for our freedom. Sadly, I feel that we are squandering it.
I don't need to be in battle to appreciate corned beef. that thing is delicious. my mother always make a summer cold salad with it: Corned beef, diced boiled potato, boiled egg, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise . i could eat bowls of that thing.
My dad's from the Philippines, and the one thing he always seemed to love cooking with was those damn cans of corned beef (it's apparently a dietary staple in alot of the Pacific) I buy it here and there for nostalgia purposes, but i sure as hell couldn't see myself eating it everyday like how the Tommies had to.
Thanks for the video, very enlightening, I found a tin of Unopened HORLICKS tablets my great grand father brought back from Northern France in WW1, I did try one as a kid ( a bit gunky but edible ) he also bought German helmets back as souvenirs ( he was a sniper ) but his wife (my great grandmother ) threw them on the fire in disgust . .my grandmothers last memory of him was him taking her to the shop when she was 5 to buy some sweets, he went back to the front and was killed attacking a German machine gun post near ARRAS . . . His wife had 3 young girls and a young boy, she went in to depression and was treated with Electric shock treatment and never really recovered . . The only financial help they received was from the Salvation Army and they weren't even religious. I took his medals to the war graves commission in Arras there they gave me the coordinates to the Cemetery ( there were many ) then down a beautiful French country lane I found his grave and photographed it, I showed the photos of the grave to my grandmother and her sister then in their 80's . . It was good to see some closure after all those years . . .
"A livesaver in the middle of winter when a hot meal is what a soldier needs" couldnt be more true, hot food not only brings your morale up but as well gives you a big boost
It is truly amazing how much this video and the companion Tea video pops up all the time and is that perfect relaxing experience…. And its a real shame more videos were not done
TheCybermanFan - The Ultimate Whovian Why are you making this sound so fucking sarcastic, are you trolling or did you actually think Hitler didn't fight in WWi, or worse, did you think he was a child?
He started out as a Private in WW1. He was promoted to Lance Corporal after the Battle of Ypres...he was one of the few who survived the ordeal. He then was assigned to be a courier of sorts, and was given the Iron Cross during this time...
My great Grandfather used to make this he told me his own father did it in WW1 and it's where he learnt it we called it "Trench Stew" it wasn't actually that bad. He used Fray Bentos corned beef just like his father did in the wars.
I swear the comment section was a complete clown fest lmao, so many legendary comments removed. (Also the ‘Tea in the Trenches’ video is gone, wth). Okay M8s, I’ll try to type a few that I remember. “His mate, who’s making tea on the other side of the trench…POURS A BOTTLE OF HP BROWN SAUCE on his drink just to improve it, pep it up a bit, all the lads do it.” “He almost gets hit by an artillery shell, however he caught it mid air and sliced it in half…he will share this with his mate.” “He cut the whole war effort in half so he could share it with his mate.” “He takes his rifle and loads it with a magazine, but he only uses half of it. The rest of it will go to his mate.” “With the help of a mate, and a French farmer who didn’t know he was helping…that’s a very British way to say stolen vegetables.”
Even in the trenches life goes on, sometimes it is just a simple meal that makes all the difference between life and death. It stokes morale and gives a soldier a can do attitude where an empty stomach can do exactly the opposite.
I watch this when I’m lonely “cone beef SHTEW, share with his mate, he puts.......... his spoon in his puddy, pep eh uhp ah beh “ thank you sir for being so British
nani I couldn’t tell that you were being sarcastic, too many kids nowadays genuinely believe that the German empire were the same as the Nazis and that the Wehrmacht and the ss were the same as each other
Poor decision to shoot it all handheld, rookie mistakes like that make for an uneasy edit. Needed some shots of the tin from over the shoulder using the tripod to keep it easy on the eye.
Portal2master the conditions in the trenches was really bad. They lived in dirty and muddy trenches giving lots of disease like trench foot. They had no soap all they could do was wash it off with water or alcohol.
Cooking in the field has not changed since ancient times. Yet soldiers have to find inventive ways and means to keep nutrition and morale up when a mess tent in not available during battlefield conditions.
I use to chef up my mre, I got out just a few years ago, served since 2004, did 11 years, but when i got a break, I use to make up dishes to make the MRE taste better.
The young draftees may not know it at first but they'll have to quickly adapt if they want a meal. They still have to know how to heat up their own rations in the front line trench.
Anyone else find the jerky "hand held" camera work distracting & annoying rather than lending an air of "authenticity"? Steady camera work would have made for a more effective, educational video, IMO.
They don't make soldiers like they used to. Imagine a kid today in the trenches, no sleeping mats, no tiktok or social media, no one to acknowledge their whatever their demented thoughts are of the minute... Against men who would LOVE to make you suffer to maximum degree...
It always surprises me when I find a great RU-vid video and go into the comments to find people complaining about literally anything. Comment section = cancer.
If you don't have cornbeef. Well thats too bad. But, if you're on the side of the jerries. The canadian troops would sometimes toss cans of corn beef into your trench. .... Do not touch them...
