That is normal for a British person watching British people on YouTube. It is almost always horribly embarrassing.

No, it's because they're ignorant people being childish in an excruciatingly long video. There are US versions of this stupidity which are indistinguishable from the two above. Only the accent is different.

I don't think the elderly have ever understood the purpose of YouTube.

YouTube is my TV viewing tool as we decided to stop payment on the enormous amounts of money for re-runs/repeats on our TV channels via cable. I've never looked back. We also have access to thousands of TV channels around the world but who the heck wants to tune in to a TV station from some unknown region in the world. When we do get BBC or ITV it's also a re-run or like when it's live sport AKA Formula 1, we can only watch it on Dutch TV with Dutch commentary as the UK channels just won't allow us on. As I said, YouTube is the best thing ever.

I agree, but you have not addressed Bixa's complaint about the huge number of useless videos (like mine). We each get what we want out of YouTube and ignore the rest.

The trouble is that a lot of people could be tricked into eating that if they didn't know the name or seeing it be made. I would be very worried about the colour of it, though.

Well, the Weetabix made of industrial waste would at least partially neutralise all of the sugar in the beans.

The Brits and many of their colonies continue to fail to realize that baked beans on toast is weird as hell. Baked beans on Weetabix (like shredded wheat? has all the earmarks of a badly hungover person trying desperately to make food from whatever is in the pantry. That said, it would still be food, no matter how unappealing. The Cheetos/Kraft Macaroni & Cheese thing is boiled chemicals.

I'm sure that anybody here who sometimes accidentally opens page 1 of "What's for dinner tonight?" knows that it is about beans on toast.

Baked beans in tomato sauce on hot buttered toast is as nice as anything.

Most things on buttered toast are good, baked beans especially so but it does come in second place to poached eggs.

I'm sure that anybody here who sometimes accidentally opens page 1 of "What's for dinner tonight?" knows that it is about beans on toast. Oh, I remember it vividly. It is one of the very first threads of fledgling anyport. And Palesa, as a South African (The English were here & this is what they left us), just wrote about it as though it were a normal food that anyone would eat. I really cannot stomach baked beans , which is strange because I love beans. Is it the gelid mystery substance surrounding the beans, or the elusive flavorlessness spiked with sugar that puts you off? While I'm mocking beloved foods from foreign places, honesty compels me to mention something truly nasty from my home state of Louisiana. This is something I learned about only a few years ago -- years after leaving the Pelican State. It appears there is a section of the state (or perhaps some whole sub-section of humanity) who eat potato salad with gumbo. What the living hell are they thinking? Why take two things that are fine on their own and ruin them by combining them? Why take a cold food and combine it with a hot food? I can't even imagine how horrible it must look. It's all icky and wrong and even childish in the way that forcing bacon with maple syrup or brown sugar into any and all comestibles is wrong.

I found some packages of Jell-O that are at least 20 years old. I'll be using them soon because chemical powder does not expire, no matter what they mark on the package.
The only problem is that I will be morally obliged to eat the result. Since I survived 50 or 60 years ago when eating things like that, I know that it will not kill me.
Visually, I have always liked to look at it.

I'd have to be starving to eat that; and no, I don't like the colour. Fine if you do, and none of my business.

At least they don't have any palm oil! It's scary that the first ingredient is salt. I assume the US lists ingredients starting with the most abundant one, like in Europe, so you have a way to go before you find potatoes.

Clearly the ingredients are not listed in order of quantity like in Europe or the list would start with potatoes, oil and salt.

When I make chips at home, potatoes, oil and salt are the only ingredients on the list.

Potatoes, oil, salt........ vinegar and a soft white roll or thick sliced white bread. And I'm no fan of thin anorexic chips.

Clearly the ingredients are not listed in order of quantity like in Europe or the list would start with potatoes, oil and salt. Odd, the ingredients are absolutely supposed to be listed in order of quantity. Here is the official list for McDonalds fries: French Fries Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [wheat And Milk Derivatives]*), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (maintain Color), Salt. *natural Beef Flavor Contains Hydrolyzed Wheat And Hydrolyzed Milk As Starting Ingredients.

I enjoy the videos of this Russian YouTuber who seems to like all military rations from other countries. That's not saying much for Russian cuisine. It is easy to find him testing the military rations of your own country if you are interested. I even like inspecting his tool wall.
