I love this idea! I wonder what hardiness zone they’re in though, I see the UK is anywhere from a 6 to 9 which is a big range. If they’re closer to a 6 it might only be a May to October outdoor growth period with seed starts indoors in maybe March but 9 is quite temperate. It’d definitely be nice to get a better glimpse into the process! Especially since they’re using the food in a mystery box it feels like an important link they could touch upon more.

Episode Pitch: If you're familair with Daren McGrady, or just visited the feature section of a newspaper/website, there's a lot out there about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's favourite food - so idea would be for the normal to try and recreate a dish fit for royalty each - I imagine Ben would love seeing them try, and Janice being treated like a Queen. Alternative Suggestion - Energy Saver Challenge, the boys (including Ben) have to come up with a mid-week or weekend meal that uses the least Gas or Electricity levels possible - both to show smarter ways of cooking (such as how it's more energy efficient to cook baked potatoes in a microwave), and the challenges many will face this winter.

I'm not vegetarian, but like to have side options with meals or just don't want to fuss with cooking meat sometimes. I like how they both cooked the funky squash.

I love borlotti beans. I mostly make my grandmother’s bean soup with them which is very simply borlotti beans boiled with a little carrot and chard and some salt until tender then partially mashed (which she started doing as my dad and uncle kept picking out the vegetables) and then cook broken up spaghetti separately and stir it through. Finish with pepper and check the salt, then drizzle a little olive oil over each bowl when serving. It’s a super stodgy moosh of brown beany pasta-y goodness which tastes so much better than it sounds and is a family favourite. I’m planning it for next week and am so looking forward to it! Gran also taught me that when you’re growing borlotti beans, you can pick them young before the beans start to swell and treat them like any other green or purple bean. They’re really tasty! It also encourages the plant to grow more beans in a second flush so you end up with more mature beans to store for winter. Some gorgeous produce from your allotment Ben. I can’t wait to start planting now!

@moniquem7832 жыл бұрын
@@shllybkwrm you’re welcome 😊 It is really good, and really cheap too! If you want to make it, I use 1 packet of dried Borlotti beans which is 375g (soaked overnight), 2 carrots, roughly chopped, and the green only of 3-4 stalks of chard. 3 teaspoons of salt, 3 litres of water. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 3 hours. To mash it I use my immersion blender, but be careful not to purée it. You want some beans to stay whole. Basically I find some carrot and chard and trap it under and give it a very quick blitz, then find the next bit of carrot and chard. It takes a fair bit of pepper at the end. I do a good 15-20 grinds and I don’t particularly like pepper. Taste it before and after. When Gran taught me to make it, it blew my mind how much the pepper changed it! To a whole pot you can add a whole 500g packet of spaghetti. Break it into pieces about 2 inches long. I normally keep the soup in the fridge or freeze it in portions and cook the spaghetti fresh, otherwise when you reheat it it goes too far beyond al dente. For one serving I cook about 70g of spaghetti. A whole pot does about 6 servings. It’s very filling! You can also add onion or garlic or pretty much any vegetable you’ve got, or substitute if you need to (I’ve used parsnip and kale before) but we love it just simple like this. Real Italian peasant food 😊

Patty Pans are my favorite squash for grilling which is how I grew up eating them. Sliced through the middle lightly oiled salt and pepper and then served with a little butter. I do think they are firmer than a yellow squash or zucchini but less from than chayote squash. Also the white and green variety is firmer than the yellow ones. If you use several colors in a squash stew you can have different textures.

One was just his, the other he would spend a summer with each one of us teaching us how to grow things. Not everything was successful but I did learn things. Plus I ended up with a volunteer cherry tomato plant that showed up in one corner and we got bags full of them! As for the dishes, the both look yummy, there were a few things that I didn't recognize like the beans, or didn't know the name of like the patty pans but I would have loved either one. As for the one I would have picked for first, I also would have chosen Mike's.

Damm sorted! Two hours later and I am still here watching your videos. Love you guys and have been a fan since you started. You have come a long way and I am so happy to see the quality and fun content only improved. You are awesome!

It would be cool to see one of those time lapse photo montage of the allotment, maybe from the start of sprouts to the first harvest, and then the later harvest plants from sprouts/bud to harvest? I agree with some of the others, if it was a full in depth how to start a garden to harvest video it might not be right for the channel, but I think a quick “daily photo from the same spot” compilation would be nice bonus content for those of us who are allotment-curious.

The patty pans, potatoes, & the green beans looked good enough where I would not complain about missing a protie.

The fact that, for once, I could eat those 2 dinners (because there's no meat) makes the video really satisfying to watch😍 I'm actually hungry.

Mike needs a bit of chocolate today, he's a bit of a snappy turtle. 😄♥️ I probably would have made a coarsely mashed borlotti bean spread for a kind of bruschetta so that you can still see the marbling. I have seen this type of appetizer in Italian cooking.

Mike's banter at the start about the Allotment when he said it, I spat my coffee out while in my work lunch room.

The next challenge like this should have a twist at the end where they have to make the dish again right after and improve it.
