Not many people know about the franchise.

@BarryVP12 This a good way of introducing others to the game

Hello! Thank you so much for watching my video and for subscribing :) It is so nice of you. Soup is a wonderful idea-alas I have none available. I did make roast potatoes with coconut milk and plenty of othet hot food. I may have had some Kitkats too.

@@Annsara9 Have you played it?

@@BarryVP12 l haven't played it. I've watched some Ytubers play it. Looks fun to

@@Annsara9 This was my first time playing. It is a clever game.

@@BarryVP12 You did really well.

I am glad your weather is warmer. The birds enjoy snacking on the seeds.

@@BarryVP12 Thanks although l do feel a drop in temperature now. Seeds are a good thing to give them as some people still feed them bread

@@ChelseyChannel Buried for a reason. Do not look for images of him.

@@BarryVP12 unfortunately for me it's too late 😭 I looked him up. I will not be seeking clips of the show here on UA-cam though

@@ChelseyChannel The curse continues. I believe I dreamed about him and had the misfortune of trying to explain his existence to someone,

@@BarryVP12 those cartoons defy explanation tbh. You just had to be there. As we both were unfortunately lol

I had no idea there was a duck emoji for UA-cam. I keep forgetting you can use them here full stop.

@@BarryVP12 now you know! 🦢

Which ones are your favourite of thoae you have eaten?

@@BarryVP12 oh if you mean spring rolls in general, I usually can only have vegetable ones. I miss duck spring rolls though, back when I was eating meat 😩

Hopefully part two will be out before 2025.

@@BarryVP12 that would indeed be good haha but I understand life happens!

I have checked the ingredients and they are not gluten free, unfortunately.

@@BarryVP12 Thanks for doing that for me

Butter beans have an unusual texture but I suppose disguised with sauce are not too bad. I believe the sauce was made with cow's milk but unfortunately the Aldi website is currently not showing the sauce I purchased so I am unable to check.

@@BarryVP12 They do have an enquired taste make a change now and then. Thanks anyway, l've tried the odd vegan sauce it usually has mustard l don't like

Draughts is fun too.

@@BarryVP12 lt can be a quick game to. Whereas chess usually takes longer depending on how good you are

Yes, sometimes it is hit and miss and certain things Aldi never seem to stock. They also change packaging sometimes like with their basic range garlic bread baguettes. They now force you to buy two at a time but for the same price it used to cost you to buy two single baguettes, so it does not cost you more so long as you want multiples of two.

@@BarryVP12 That's interesting about the packaging changes, I have spotted Lidl doing similar. Perhaps they are testing to see what way sells the best.

You might like to try Sainsbury's pseudo chicken. I was thinking that you might like the look and feel of the Aldi no chicken, as I know you like it to emulate meat; but I felt it did not really deliver on flavour. I remember the one sold at Sainsbury's being salty and maybe nicer overall but definitely pricier. They may sell a few options now.

@@BarryVP12 thanks for the recommendation! Yeah if it's meat-like then that gets more points but as you say, the flavour was lacking

From what I understand, bread is no longer recommended as it isn't very nutritious for the birds. They feel full after having it as it's a filler food, so then they don't feel the need to seek out food that's more nutritious for them- causing health issues. Some people say it's ok in small amounts 😊

@@ChelseyChannel Thanks. I did wonder if there's some duck food you can buy to feed them instead

There was a Canada goose which came very close and thought I had food. In the video they at one point acted as though they were eating something because they have been conditioned to take food from humans and then instantly eat it, so they got ahead of themselves and try to eat food that is not there. I believe this is why geese sometimes attack people, as they are unable to break the expectation of food as the association with humans and dependency on them becomes too strong. The birds in the pond also make the same mistake of trying to eat food not there. Sometimes the birds suddenly swim in a direction away from the edge of the pond where the humans are because they believe food has been thrown until they release it has not actually been thrown yet. The small park regularly sees many species of birds at any given time, mostly seagulls, coots, moorhens, the Canada goose, rock doves (Pigeons.) and ducks, mostly aquatic birds as there is a pond. For the most part the birds do not antagonise each other too much despite the limited space. Sometimes the geese approach people because they expect food from them and sometimes they are more wary. Ducks are normally much shyer but I accidentally walked close to one recently that had stayed put and continued to stay by me as I sat down quite close to it before it decided to jump into the water after a brief time. I mentioned the food situation in a video I made today, funnily enough. Like Chelsey says, the bread is empty calories, leaving them full but without what they actually need to grow healthy. I think feeding bread is a very bad idea. Even if a little might not cause too much harm, they are never fed just a little. Yesterday multiple families came to feed bread to all of the birds. So there are more than enough people feeding them bread, it makes sense to offer them something healthier. I last fed the geese sweetcorn, as that is a healthier choice. It is also much easier for them to eat, as they can not cut up food and have to throw it around with their beaks to break it up. One was struggling to break up the hardened bread. Whereas sweetcorn is small and maybe easier for their digestive system. Sometimes the geese are very wary, maybe due to always being fed bread. The last time I fed them I had to leave the sweetcorn on the ground for them to approach.

@@BarryVP12 That was interesting as I had no idea that Geese behave in that way, I got chassed by one as a child even though I was no-where near them, another time they tried to get into my car, I think one almost succeed, I guess they just thought I had food for them. It's good to know about the sweetcorn, I'm sure they will get used to it soon. Hopefully more people will realise about not feeding them bread. It's lovely when you can get that close to ducks. I did hear also about that feeding Hedgehogs bread and milk although I know some people still do this.

@@BarryVP12 Definitely good points you brought up

Thank you for sharing. The crispy vegetable fritters sound really interesting. Do you have a particular recipe to share?

This is the point I was making in another video, that not all non-meat eaters are ethically opposed to eating meat and may have little to no qualms about replicating certain aspects of the experience. That said, as much as I appreciate how that may seem logical to some it is still not really making any sense to me. It sounds as though there is a somewhat ethical stance but that personal satisfaction and comfort come before which makes it hard to understand as being an ethical position. It is very interesting the different angles and approaches taken on this one issue alone.

@@BarryVP12 Yeah it's interesting to me because I find it hard to understand why it *doesn't* make sense to others haha. I don't think there always has to be ethics involved in people's food preferences, personally. For me anyway, it's just not that deep- I love the taste and texture of burgers, I don't like the burger to be made of cow. That's really it for me.

​@@BarryVP12 I've just thought about your response a bit more and I do want to clarify that me being pescatarian is indeed me picking and choosing my ethics. As in, if I'm uncomfortable with cows being killed, why don't I care about fish? So if that's what you meant, I completely agree and I indeed have cognitive dissonance.

@@ChelseyChannel It does sound a lot like cognitive dissonance, which is another fascinating thing to experience, particularly how one can arrive at it and not realise. You have said that you do not see a need for ethics to be connected to what is eaten and yet apparently have made an ethical decision to act on ethical concerns for the welfare of certain animals. That was what I was hearing and it sounds very uncertain. I understand that there are more nuances involved and ideas can become confused and lost when expressed outwardly.

@@BarryVP12 Yeah as a psych student I'm definitely fascinated by cognitive dissonance, especially when I notice it in myself. To clarify though, I didn't say ethics are never involved- ethics are most definitely very often involved in food choices. I was just saying that the choice to eat meat-like vegan products, as opposed to other protein e.g. beans, isn't always an ethical one and is sometimes just because we prefer the taste, shape and texture.

Colin, thank you so much! Your comment and feedback are most welcome. It is a pleasure to have you. Next food reviews will probably be of a frozen Pizza Express pizza (Goat's cheese.) that I wanted to compare to the restaurant version and some more Aldi products. There are also many videos in the archives still to be uploaded and so they will appear randomly too.

It is hard to find aids. I think removing cause of insomnia is always the best tactic but that is usually incredibly hard even if the cause is known. Some people recommend a strict routine that you could try, by making sure to go to bed same time every day, limiting screen time and caffeine (Very important.), as well as not having the light on immediately before bed (Or buying a dimmer light. I bought a cheap one from Amazon that works well.) and if restless some people actually suggest walking about rather than just lying awake, as this can continue/worsen the problem. But routines do not work for everyone the same way, although our bodies seem to be made for them.

@@BarryVP12 You made some good points. I do try to go to bed a similar time each night, although l do watch videos in bed because, sometimes it's the only thing that helps me go to sleep, pain is a big part of why l struggle although l'm a light sleeper to. I try to make reading last thing before turning off the light. I heard to about getting up if you cannot sleep, l usually put light back on and read until l hopefully go back to sleep. You're right what works for one person doesn't always help someone else. I'm always open to ideas.

@@Annsara9 Maybe try to reduce the brightness of the screen at night, if you can still read it. It will take moments and practice to adjust. As light sends signals to the brain which encourage alertness and also makes it hard for the brain to switch off. There should also be one or two filters on the phone: a nighttime filter and a blue screen filter. These can help greatly.

@@BarryVP12 Thanks Barry for that as my screen is bright it does make sense what you're saying. I do have a Led lamp which would be better than the main light which l leave on to read.

Thank you :) I do like the movid and how it essentially serves as a sequel to some of the older movies.

I watched that episode very recently and have started a video on it, as it speaks to me greatly too. Amy is right that they did not make a difference, as he still died and so horribly. But they also did make a difference, through changing slightly his quality of life, even if he died the same way.

@@BarryVP12 good point and I'll definitely be looking out for the video

It is great that you found the speeches interesting. All are from modern Doctor Who. From Christopher Eccleston up to Peter Capaldi. The one about being a story was from Matt Smith's period.

@@BarryVP12 Thanks for that. Matt Smith was my favourite Dr. Who so that's probably why some of the speeches were familiar to me.

Not really

Thank you for the encouragement. It is great what tools are available, both free and paid for.

@@BarryVP12 Very true
