How about a series of "week ons" titled mike goes back in time and try a week on 1920s food and a week on 1930s food, 1940s, 1950, 1960s food and so on up to the present day? You could also throw in an infomercialism each week with a gadget from each decade?

great idea he should so do it

I don’t get the complaint about the packaging. It’s smart price, the whole point is the branding, supposed to be instantly recognisable, basic and no frills. It is what it is.

[@ollieb9875]

Ye.. there's literally a brand in Canada called "no name" and the simple packaging is their whole schtick.. except it is yellow rather than white I think. 😀👍

The normal way with packaging like that would just be to simply get a knife and cut around the film lid.

Depends how much of them you consume.

You should have read the instructions on the mousse! “Although this product can be eaten frozen, for best results defrost in a cool place for 45 minutes prior to eating”

[@MonkeyHunch1]

For a fella writing a book he does not read very well :)

[@ZipplyZane]

I had a (vegan) cheese cake where I made that same mistake. It tastes so much better (and more like real cheesecake) if you let it thaw out. It's nothing like my previous attempts to make a non-dairy cheesecake on my own, going with recipes.

[@blindio466]

they're not mousse they're raspberry ripple ice cream tubs(I loved them as a kid now I find them too small to be satisfying)

[@sairbearprincess]

blind io no they are mousses! They just haven’t let them defrost! However, I eat them both ways as they do taste similar to ice cream when eaten frozen 😊

[@whitto6546]

Muesli is high in calories because its all fats and carbs, nuts and oats. A calorie being a unit of energy and carbs and fats are energy. Also, not all fats are bad fats, your body needs fats to function.

[@paulgascoigne5343]

Fat being bad for you is a terrible myth. Fat & sugar are a damaging combination, but dietry fat doesn't equal bodily fat. The human body is quite adept at living on a high fat low carb diet.

[@dragonloverxxl34]

I avoid fat because it's 9 calories a gram while carbs are 4 calories a gram

[@paulgascoigne5343]

Yes but sugar can be used by the body straight away. The body has to use energy to convert fat into a usable source of energy. Hence when you consume carbs and sugars you glucose levels increase massively (and the crash when the insulin hits), plus a great deal of the fat you consume passes straight through your digestive system without being absorbed. Calories are measures by drying out and then burning the 'food' and measuring how much it causes a litre of water to change temperature. Hence even indigestible items such as wood has a calorie content. Carbohydrates and sugars are very efficient in the body hence why they give us a rush in energy. Some things like fat take time to be broken down. So. Even though fat appears more energy dense and has more calories you might only use half of that to provide you with energy, the rest will pass through your body and be undigested. So, gram for gram, in usable energy they could be very close indeed.

[@thomraider9193]

Fascinating how after all these week-ons and diets, Mike still has no clue about nutrition. of course Muesli has a relatively large amount of calories, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for you.

[@fightfairfightfair]

I know, right? Mike's really bad at portion sizes and calorie counts. "There's only 200 calories in here". No, Mike. That's the calories for a quarter of a bag. You just ate a whole bag.

trust me, doing 5 a day is often harder than you'd think, and often not enjoyable in the slightest lol

[@accountnamewithheld]

Adam RDL chop up an apple, put on breakfast or just eat unchopped. 1 serving veg with lunch, 1serving veg with dinner. banana for snacktime. that's 4/5 done which is better than 0/5. This video series is supposed to be cheap asda food but despite Mike pointing out a large bag of frozen veg at the start of the week, it hasn't been touched so far. Even eating some vegetables is better than nothing. I know eating healthy sounds pretty uncool to some but it makes a huge difference to your energy and activity levels compared to eating junk food.

[@NessaRossini...]

Yass! Fruit and Veggie week.

high calorie does not mean bad stop thinking like a meat head, calories are just a unit of energy, you should look at the macronutrient breakdown and micronutrient breakdown and compare it to your requirements

Lassi Kinnunen any food will make you fat if you eat too much of it. It's all about moderation.

[@harshbarj]

High calorie actually does mean bad if you are watching your calories. You can eat a healthy meal that is very high in calories and gain weight. Key is to keep calories low while still getting the nutrition you need. High calories and high nutrients can be as bad an low calories and low nutrients.

[@SimonMetin]

love this series, i think your content has massively improved in the past year or so. massive congrats on your continued momentum!! I bought that muesli before. if yours was anything like mine, the raisins would have settled to the bottom because of their size/weight. its like with any cereal that has mix-ins...they always go to the damn bottom! also, i always find that for any kind of pot noodle type dealy, putting it in the microwave for a minute after putting in the water makes it sooooo much better (the noodles get softer and the sauce gets thicker). give it a go next time (when you inevitably do a week on Sainsbury's basics...)

[@jayneyy906]

The branded pot noodles contain no meat at all its soya meat like quorn i can't say about the smartprice ones tho ...

[@MonkeyHunch1]

@jayne They don`t even put soya pieces in the new pot noodles and they taste like crap these day, If you look at the ingredients. Those fake pieces of chicken went away years ago and pot noodles are bland as fk now :) On the subject of cheap rubbish food last night i was hungry and boiled up some Aldi instant noodles beef flavour for 22 pence a packet and they almost tasted okay. Almost like super noodles.

[@jayneyy906]

The macaroni cheese is quite nice - I normally pad it out with a box of micro chips, to use up the excess cheese sauce. The Smart Price pot noodles are foul, though - the only food I've ever seen my old dog (rest his soul) refuse to eat (he was like a waste disposal unit for the household's leftovers).

[@fightfairfightfair]

To make food last longer, they suck the air out of the package and replace it with another gas. Depending on the food, it's usually carbon dioxide or nitrogen. That's why jars of food last months on the shelf, but go off three days after you open them. Once the oxygen gets in, they go bad.

[@allanfreeman4267]

with a little forward planning these products can be enhanced tomato puree in beans .chicken stock cube in noodles etc etc

[@IAMJAG108]

For all microwave packaging, stick a fork into the cover and pull it along in a straight line around three of the edges. It will save your fingers, and is much easier to open. When you have three sides open, pull back the covering very quickly and pull your hands away to avoid the rush of steam.

[@SacrificedSin87]

I did a week at Tesco and a week at ASDA to compare them a few years ago. Personally I have to say Tesco swung it for me. Guess it's down to preference but I found most ASDA stuff to be a bit bland compared.

[@markiangooley]

Wendy Jordan just spent two weeks in England and in cities and near town centers it was mostly those tiny Tesco stores. Pretty good cheese and bread and cold cuts for when I didn’t feel like restaurant food.

[@RefuseTheFallingRain]

The things you call delicious...

[@mistywolf312]

Longevity of the macaroni cheese is dependant on what they have done to the milk before it goes in the dish, what they have effectively done is put long life milk into it, more moderately priced ones have "fresh" milk or cream in them.

Partly, but they also can use nitrogen as a filler gas, that can make things last a very long time.

Sadly I have yet to find a good müesli. Here in the states you can get it from stores that specialize in European or German foods. It's all rather bland. But it's filling and healthy. Just add a little sugar and perhaps some buttered toast.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

harshbarj You add buttered toast to your muesli ? Interesting..! Also, if you look up some recipes online, you can actually make your own muesli. Might sound like a big faff, but put it in an airtight container & it’ll last. Much tastier.

[@Alanzice]

What Mike have against tripods?

[@ZipplyZane]

Wait, so these ready meals aren't frozen. That's why you think it's such a long time. I always assumed anything packaged like that is frozen. And that stuff lasts forever when frozen. Though my shelf meals last a pretty long time, too. It's just the packaging.
