[@zapheil]

Shama's Kitchen A brief glimpse of your channel shows that your “recipes” are actually not super helpful. It seems like you only started displaying the amounts for the ingredients (a pretty important detail) like a month ago. And in one of your videos, the ingredients were literally “plain flour” and “dough.” Do you have any idea how many types of flour and dough there are? Sorry for the harsh words I’m about to say, but improving your content should be your first priority, not whining about your unpopularity on a much more popular channel.

[@michaelcrabtree9694]

Segment idea. Chef Vs Norm: Packet Vs Fresh. Chefs are restricted to only use packets, tins and jars. Norms must use fresh ingredients and build from scratch. Can the chefs save their shortcut meals to compare to homemade.

[@kai44478]

[@AnimalLover101195]

YES!!!

[@caramac6382]

Yes ! This sounds great

[@petrpitha9966]

OOOOOOHHH

[@KickyFut]

@Michael Crabtree, I think you missed the entire point of this video! The benefits of canned food is you get many ingredients at a prepared/ideal stage. the Norms have to be able to select, prepare and cook food properly which are all the skills that cooks/chefs already have and they mostly don't... Using a school test example, those of us who cook already have the "answers" in our heads, while amateurs still need to learn the lessons first.😅

[@emilypack5430]

As someone who believes in having a healthy amount of food storage at all times in my home, I really appreciated this video! You can't always cook with fresh ingredients and I love when chefs share great ideas with canned food. Well done!

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

My pantry was prepared for an emergency, too. A lot more people are going to believe in having well stocked pantries now.

[@rach_laze]

Yes, I personally don't eat many tinned foods as I dont like sauces or soupy textures but I keep well stocked up on dried goods, variety is the key, if you have plenty of different things you can make variations on everything. Most people go wrong by buying 10 tins of 2 or 3 things rather than 2-3 tins of 10 things

[@myopinion69420]

Between the freezer and the pantry, we like to keep about 2 months worth of food. Not because of doomsday or anything like that, but purely the fact that you never know whats going to happen tomorrow. Is the car going to blow up? is the water heater going to split? Never know when some large unexpected expense is going to happen. if you have a good buffer of food and savings, you never really have to worry.

[@Argonncept]

As someone from Hawaii, I’m so happy to hear Jamie say he genuinely likes spam! It is an ingredient utilized so often here and can be cooked so many different ways! It is not meant to be eaten straight out of the can, which is why people liken it to dog food often. Slice it up, fry it in a pan with shoyu, sugar, and mirin, put it over some rice and you have an amazing easy dish!

[@cheesybellend6842]

Lol people have been eating spam for years in England it’s nothing knew to the English

[@lancelindlelee7256]

I've been curious for years, why does Hawaiin food have tons of Japanese influence. Spam Musubi is basically a giant sushi. Lots of use of soy sauce (you even said shoyu) and teriyaki.

[@Nogu3]

Spam is also popular in my home country, Korea. We often give it away as gifts, and it at times even rivals the price of fresh meat!

[@dnobarahime]

@@lancelindlelee7256 months late reply but Hawaii has a large Japanese American population and also a large Asian population in general, so you see a ton of Asian influence in the food

Hey, Sorted! That little bit at the end where Mike was saying that they need to expand their knowledge of how to effectively use tinned food... I think that should be your next cookbook.

[@Khazandar]

[@ethancampbell215]

That’s actually so true it’s almost sad 😂😂 he’s not picky, he’s not fussy, he gets on with it and eat’s what he’s served. I actually admire him a bit for not having a single care about the quality or level of processing his food has gone through, he just eats!

[@SChappellaz]

I love that. “You’re a character.” And Jamie looked pleased.

[@ethancampbell215]

It sounds like one of those things that is intended to be an insult but actually comes across as a compliment 😂 Jamie is very confident and outgoing and being called a ‘character’ probably made him feel like he was being engaging and enthusiastic

[@slimkt]

“You’re a character, you must be.” I dub thee Lord Jamie SPAMfford. Also, he’s right, Spam is delicious. Maybe not biting off a hunk from a cold block of it, but fried up, it’s amazing, especially spam musubi.

[@everythinggamingnow]

that confit de canard is amazing, i have an aunt that brings me back a tin or two from france every now and then and love it. It's super tender, and has like 2 bones in it, that literally fall out when you pick it up, can cook it whole, or shred it up, oven in and use in fajita wraps. Also, i normally open the can a little, sit it in warm/hot water for a short while and it just melts the fat, so it comes out a bit easier. If you just open up the can straight away you have to try and scrape loads of fat off and its a right pain. Also i save all the fat for roasting stuff, makes potatoes amazingly!! For the price you're not only getting a fancy type of meat, slow cooked in its own fat, making it super tasty, but also cooking oil that makes stuff taste like duck!!

[@everythinggamingnow]

on a side note, i could totally understand how people think its gross and whatnot. But oof, you''d be missing out on so much holding onto the childhood "ewww gross" mentality. Try these things, worst case scenario you have a single unpleasant meal, best case, you have a new meal that will satisfy you your whole life!

[@lets.get.intoit.]

This is so helpful! I've never seen it in stores here before, but I'm definitely going to look for it now!

[@kitherit]

Amazing tips! Also, one thing they didn't talk about in the video is that while they cost about the same, and taste about the same, the tinned version will be shelf stable, while the fresh version needs to be used quickly to prevent spoilage. That's a pretty big point in it's favor, I would think! If you aren't planning to use it right away, but want to have some on hand, just in case!

[@MrBiggergun]

@ Very intelligent ducks? Have you ever seen a duck before? xD

[@MtnNerd]

It sounds amazing. I think it's just we've been conditioned to think of things being ready to eat when they come out of a can. It's perfectly valid to have something you need to open up and stick in an oven for a few minutes.

[@lassewr]

I really had a yes-moment when I saw the confit de canard being opened. I caught on quite fast what it was and kept chuckling all the way until the second plate was uncovered. If you let the tin warm up in some water, until the fat turns liquid, its much easier to lift out and place one a tray and finish in the oven... But for gods sake make a hole in the top of the tin as the first thing. If you forget this and then let it reach an above room temperature, you risk creating a fat geyser in your kitchen. This is NOT fun. Just for your information. It also looks soo much more appetising when the fat is liquified and transparent. Just note that the meat will be more soft, when at higher temperatures and should be handled gently, when placing on the tray. I sometimes make it by my self, when duck legs are on sale. And I always save the duck fat when I’m making anything with duck. really good for potatoes or any confit roots. But first and foremost this is a brilliant way to get fast and tender duck. Often I prepare fresh duck legs (unfrozen) sous vide with a good scoop of cold fat in the vacuums bag (it makes a better seal when you don’t have to worry about semi liquid stuff escaping). When done I chill it as fast as possible and let it stay in the bag, in the fridge, until I want to use it. High temperature in order to get the crispy skin and don’t worry about underprepared meat. It’s already done. It just need the last touch with the skin.

I'd actually be interested in what hacks could be done with "Cream of Mushroom" soup. I know it's practically a staple in North America for casseroles, and "one pot" dishes.

[@michaelhall5429]

You could reduce it, add extra mushrooms, grilled chicken, rocket (think you call it arugula?) lemon zest, white wine, broccoli, peas and make a nice pasta sauce. Most mass produced stuff has a ton of stabilisers in it so it should reduce well and not split. You only need two or three of the ingredients I listed to make it nice. I miss cheffing.

[@Ghost-Mom]

I usually buy a few cans of cream of mushroom, not to use as a soup but to go with meals. sometimes I make a sauce out of it, reduce it; add stock/herbs/spices. Sometimes I'll add it to rice, very simple, turns plain rice into something a bit less boring.

[@serasotasadie]

I feel like mushroom soup has been "hacked" to death, at least in the US. There are lots of "fancy" ways to use it. I like adding more mushroom stock, tons of garlic sauteed mushrooms of all types, fresh herbs and serving it with toast. For our family it was mixed with shredded chicken, topped with stove top stuffing and baked! Yum!!

Picnics as a kid were tinned corn beef sandwiches on white bread with tomatoes and mayo. My Mommo always made them. I still think of them.

[@jackstat]

as one of four kids with a single parent bringing us up in the 70s and 80s, spam, luncheon meat and corned beef were part of our normal diet, on butties, sliced and fried or in pies eetc, cant beat it.

[@izzy1221]

I support Jamie and his appreciation of tinned food. Fruit cocktail is great, tinned tuna is great and spam is DELICIOUS.

watching this while eating a tin of mackerel with some warm pittas, basic i know but so good

[@DungeonMistressC]

I love making corn beef hash! Especially in the fall with red potatoes and red onion and then I get a runny egg over the top with a hit of hot sauce- So good, perfect way to warm up

[@RunaaSteinamrk]

Mike and Jamie with the corn beef and spam is literally me an my husband a few days ago. My husband even said the thing about the sharp edges and the white stuff 🤯😅 Also, canned mackerel in tomato sauce, just like the tuna you tried, is a staple bread topping in most homes in my country 🙂 bread + butter + mackerel, and if you are fancy, + mayonnaise + lemon juice.

[@table4glasses]

Smørrebrød? :)

[@RunaaSteinamrk]

@@table4glasses Well, I wouldn't call tomato mackerel smørrebrød. Smørrebrød, at least how I'm used to it, is a bit more fancy (and expensive) with things like fish fillet, remoulade, caviar and decorative orange slices or cucumber slices 🙂

[@airysama8812]

@@RunaaSteinamrk I gotta ask how does that taste? As it sounds completely odd to me, not in a bad way but in a way of 'i have absolutely no idea what this would taste like' way. Is the flavor of the fish completely lost? As that's my only guess.

im watching more and remembering more tinned foods, my nan made the best tuna pies and corned beef pies both from ti9ns omfg if only you had made those, would blow peoples minds away

[@banderdash2702]

A bit late to the party, but one thing I love with tinned corned beef, is to put it in the bottom of a Pyrex dish, baked beans on top, fried/caramelised onions on top of that, mix it in with some thyme and then add a layer of cheesy mashed potato on top to almost make a corned beef pie. Sort of mixes it up if you have the ingredients for a corned beef hash but don't want a corned beef hash.

[@GlittzGlam7]

Let's face it boys. Everyone's favorite tin is the tin of condensed milk.

[@travelswithsi8932]

Oh yes, love condensed milk

[@anniee6616]

and cold s'ketti

[@carpii]

even better if you boil it for an hour or two first

[@carpediem5232]

For me it's tinned tomatoes, then coconut milk, but condensed milk is definitely in my top 5.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Yeah, totally! Though even for me it was too much when I watched a friend drink two tins in a row as if they were two glasses of water...

[@sarahbee6758]

When I was in Sicily, I was recommended to try (Tinned) tuna and onion pizza. I abhor any sort of canned meat, but I tried it and it remains my favorite pizza ever. I’ve never been able to recreate it at home, sadly 😢 I should try again.

[@SortedFood]

You should give it a go!

[@JustLoveForMe]

My dad makes homemade pizza from time to time (admittedly a very British version with a thick doughy crust, not proper pizza but delicious in it's own way 😂) and he often tops it with frozen prawns and tinned tuna and anchovies, it's quick and easy and if you like seafood, a really tasty combo 🙂

[@JudyCZ]

When, if not now. ;) My boyfriend had some great fried filled pancakes years ago and we never got around to try and recreate it but now, stuck at home, now is the time. Good luck!

Jamie: “I actually really like that.” Ben: “That was not supposed to happen.” Were they not supposed to like it after you cooked it? 😂

[@croseven17]

Ben didn't cook the sardines. Those were sardine straight out of the tin and that was why Ben was suprised. But portuguese fish tin industry (tuna and sardine) is quite diverse and popular choice to have at home! ;)
