Smash Revisited. Did i do it wrong first time?

[@missmaryhdream6560]

Hello for mash gets smash. I used to love that instant mash. Bit of cheese pepper, beans and sausages, cheap lunch

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

This was a brilliant revision to your first video which was also brilliant. Thanks again for the memories.

[@itskeithnNat]

My pleasure!

[@donnaregan9189]

I would NEVER have given a birds eye trifle nor a carton of smash a second look in my supermarket.As you are so likable and because in my opinion you could sell sand to an Arab I have placed both items in my shopping cart for delivery.Your channel is excellent xx

[@itskeithnNat]

LOL Donna. Thank you so much

[@cgat1955]

You can use also it to thicken up stews etc. It’s always good to have in your cupboard.

[@itskeithnNat]

I didn't know that Carol. Thanks for the tip

[@independentpuppy7520]

Always good to have in stock. Just be careful with how much water you add. Go slowly. You made it good that time.

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks for the tip Neal

[@majiek1304]

Great if you are a single person on your own. Saves Spending money on a load potatoes that go out of date quick And you can do it with just water from your tap!

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes so true. Everyone will need to save money the way things are going

[@bigsteve9291]

Bit of cream and white pepper at the and its banging with bangers it's great for a single meal

[@itskeithnNat]

a bit of cream with it. That sounds nice

Glad you liked it Dave

[@adebinelli8182]

So glad you did this I've always wondered why my instant mash came out crappie...

[@itskeithnNat]

You're welcome Ade

Used to be Cadburys Smash . Apparently Yeoman is still ok but I haven't tried that yet .

[@itskeithnNat]

I didn't know that Steven

Great video. I use Idahoan instant mash every time now and it comes in herby, cheesy or just normal. I used to use frozen and raved about it and now Idahoan has taken that place. I also use Morrisons own brand of cheese & onion packet mash which is also great and cheap. I always seem to throw potatos out, so this is a really good option

[@lozzii1917]

I had to stop buying Idahoan mash which also comes in garlic, bacon, cheese and another flavour due to Sulphates in it Doctors say if you have Migraines, Stomach and Bowel problems to avoid all Sulphates as its brutally harsh nasty chemical gives me very very violent Migraines and possible sensitive to it as had rash and needed extra dose of Antihistamines and my Inhalers I was fine after I mentioned this in another previous chats Asda has totally wrecked its smart price range not only is it much more expensive but most ingredients is enough to give you frightful nightmares with not just Sulphates and alcohol in some but other unidentifiable and unable to pronounce nasty additives, preservatives and E numbers wish they just leave things alone. Asda smart price was only shop I loved there noodles at 14p now 25p chicken or curry slightly bland but easiely pimped up also jaffa cakes 24p now 39p I think sainsburys is only place I buy there chicken paste that is only chicken anywhere else its mixture of unknown fish, chicken and beef etc usually ground up bones hence mechanically separated same thing in pet food all others the savoury rice at between 25p to 35p is quiet nice back to powdered mash I got frozen pellets £1.55 for big bag as fresh mash whether its normal, root vegetable, sweet potato, bubble squeek etc like all things in supermarkets from deli, bakery, butcher, fish aisles they repeatedly defrost, freeze, defrost and so on that's why wen you take it home and its rotten next day it also can't be frozen that's for this reasons the supermarkets have had it in out the freezer that many times so be very wary of this. As for powdered mash best to go for next one up as you just don't no what's in the very basic brand can't remember which one it was it had 70 percent potatoes leaving you questioning what's other 30 percent. Best way to make any powdered item is pour it in to what ever vessel your using using tiny bit slightly warm milk mix into fine paste this way there shouldn't end up being any lumpy bumpy stuff wen filly mixed through add rest of the milk in bowl or pot if its cuppa soup add warm water only unless you like it with milk Tesco roast chicken soup is well nice use to be 5 packets it's now only 4 still worth it at 90p for 4 or 27p for other cuppa soups it's always best to use to little than to much and wrecking it in process you can always add more later on its trial and error but if you got scatter brain like me maybe keep plain notebook or how you make things that way later down line wen you make it again and it's not written down or will just end up in floods of tears out frustrating annoyance

“They peel them with their metal knives.” “Hahahhaha.” “ Then they smash them all to bits.” “Hahahaha.” 😜🤣😂 I remember it well.

[@deathbycocktail]

Can't believe the difference between this and the stuff I used to get when I was wee- it all makes sense now! 😂

[@itskeithnNat]

I couldn't believe it

[@bebelinii]

Can you please review the shops own brand budget range powdered mash? Tesco used to do a very cheap packet that was good for thickening soups etc, but they have an own brand packet for around 90p now. Other shop probably have some too. Thanks!

[@itskeithnNat]

I'll check it out for you

[@bebelinii]

Thank you so much

love Smash on shepherds pie or with salad and salad cream. New sub.

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Bess

[@peterpereira3653]

I had Smash as a child sometimes, remember it was sold in type of bag packaging. Was okay as I am not the biggest fan of mashed potatoes anyway.

[@itskeithnNat]

It’s not as good as the real thing Peter

[@PotatoPirate123]

When I was a kid I distinctly remember it having a really horrible chemical taste that I couldn't stand. It tasted nothing like mashed potato to me and made me feel sick. I had it again, randomly, a year or so ago and it tasted absolutely fine and not all that far away from normal mashed potato once I added butter and salt and pepper. I'm not sure if they've changed the ingredients or if you just have a really sensitive palate when you're young. Confused me a bit though. I wouldn't have an issue eating it now.

[@itskeithnNat]

The same as me mate

[@Taz6688]

I hated sprouts, cabbage, carrots (unless fresh from the garden eaten raw), potatoes, as I have grown I love all of them, I don't know why but these same foods did seem to taste different as a child, cooking method?

[@PotatoPirate123]

@@Taz6688 I don’t think it’s cooking, I think your tastebuds change or different receptors mature at different stages. Some things remain largely the same and other things switch entirely. I also think that when you’re young whatever receptors have developed on your tongue are much more powerful (a bit like hearing range), so things like Smash, for me, had a very obviously ‘not right’ taste to them, which I can now now longer distinguish. Some people refuse to ever try things they didn’t like as a kid and, in my opinion, they are likely to be missing out. This is why even now I will always try things I *think* I’m not that keen on every few years.

[@Faithnomore227]

Hi Keith. I'm fairly new to your channel n love everything I've seen you make. You're a good cook. I love a bit of Smash when I'm feeling lazy. Tesco n Sainsbury also do bags of frozen mash which are also really good. Four minutes in the microwave for a huge bowl of mash. Spot on. Yorkies have to be homemade though. The frozen ones are bloody tasteless in my opinion.. Hope you and your clan are all good bud. Gaz 😊

Why are you so surprised that dehydrated potatoes turn into mash when properly rehydrated?

[@derryshore5586]

This is how I do mine? now and then for a quick mash. I usually add some water with the milk to make the mash lighter.and not so heavy

[@itskeithnNat]

Cheers Derry

[@BachTantra]

I add Sainsbury’s mash to the top of pot noodles 🍝 to make it creamy

[@itskeithnNat]

Interesting

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Didn't even know this stuff still existed been married too long with proper meals on table But when I was a kid in the 70s and dragged up I used to eat it dry but it was cubed food parcels melt in the mouth My family used to buy tins with no labels on and swerved dog food once before my dad was going to make it into a curry I might go shopping one day........ With the wife... Not even allowed to use the washing machine happy days

I only use Idahoan mash now its £1 a packet but gorgeous I just pour on enough boiling water to just cover it and leave it a few mins then use a fork to fluff it it the cheese one is awsome

[@itskeithnNat]

Somebody asked me to review that dee. so will be doing soon

[@dee9917]

Oooh good 😁

[@mansfieldlad123]

Smash is okay but you have to add your own seasoning otherwise its horrible and tasteless and it saves peeling potatoes and boiling them if your making a cottage pie or even a fish pie if your really wealthy

[@itskeithnNat]

I found that out mate, you have to get the seasoning right

[@marcse7en]

I make REAL MASH like the Cadbury's Smash Aliens! ...... I peel the potatoes with a metal knife. I boil them for 20 of our Earth minutes. Then I Smash them to pieces! ...... "For Mash, Get Smash!" 👍😂

My kids would never eat it said it was disgusting but I used it once when I was in a rush in a cottage pie and they never knew haha .

[@PotatoPirate123]

@@nellzbs2ja I think it's just almost melted butter substitute. Egg isn't that weird in mashed potato though - it's extremely common for mash going on shepherds pie or fish pie as it adds richness and makes it puff up in the oven
