Lol, dig deep enough and you'll find a naked chinned blaze boi on this channel and top tenz. These were his first channels, though he's just the talking head on these. Those started in the past few years (business blaze, megaprojects etc) are actually Simon's.
I saw a piece on "How It's Made" a few years back that told how baby carrots came about and are made. When you think about it baby carrots make sense. On the one hand they allow carrots that otherwise would be wasted while on the other hand they are vastly easier than whole carrots to prepare. Sounds like a win-win proposition to me!
On tea: Traditional chinese gongfu brewing is very similar to Orwell. Except gongfu you only steep for ~10 seconds and can reinfuse leaves 10 times. Gongfu is also served small cups, so you only ever have hot tea. Short infusions keep clean flavour and prevent oversteeping. Since you never leave tea steeping, you're always using freshly hot water. Indian and Rusky tea uses sugar, indian includes spices.
I worked on a farm that had both dairy cows and chickens. God, how I came to hate eating boiled fresh eggs and warm milk on my cornflakes, straight from the cow for breakfast (at 5am!) every morning. Now, I wish I could find food that good!
@mkhider_ Well it's warm of course having been milked straight from the cow and very frothy and creamy. It has a more salty 'mucus' taste too which I think most people would find unpleasant but you get used to it.
@@faeembrugh- I had a great uncle who used to take milk directly from the cows and serve it with breakfast, and it always tasted fine to me. Raw milk contains additional nutrients that pasteurized and homogenized milk doesn't-unfortunately, it can also contain a lot of germs and parasites. These are far more prevalent in factory farms than in family farms, where the family eats the same food they sell. My belief is that, if you know the source of your raw milk, and the farmers test it for pathogens regularly, it is safe to drink. Of course, now that RFK Jr. has come out in favor of raw milk? Every Liberal on earth is against it! 🙄 🤦♂️
@@timeliebe You said a lot and omitted any understanding of how their might be differences in country-wide large scale stamdards of production and small farms that only have a few cows. There's too many people and too much demand for everyone to have raw milk. Its a holdout from times when people would and could produce their own food.
My favorite ad campaign: There are two kinds of canned salmon: pink salmon and white salmon. These two are colored because the come from different species of salmon, but otherwise are as different as white and brown chicken eggs. But the pink salmon outsold the white salmon ten to one. The white salmon canners did not like this, so they hired a ad man. he considered the problem and added the slogan to the white canned salmon: "Guaranteed not to turn pink in the can." It wasn't long before the white salmon was selling ten times as much as the pink salmon. Of course the pink salmon canners didn't like this and took the ad company and the pink canners to court. It took a long time to find an argument that works to get the slogan removed from the cans. It didn't make any claim that wasn't true.

Dorothy L Sayer, the British author of the Lord Peter Wimsey novels in the 1930s, worked for an English ad agency. She came up with the slogan "Go to work on an egg", still remembered by many Brits.
@@David_K_Booth The slogan was attributed to writer Fay Weldon, who was the head of copywriting at the time and managed the ad team that created the campaign. However, the slogan actually came from the creative team at Ogilvy and Mather, the PR firm that worked with the Egg Marketing Board.
I've seen vintage logging camp videos where they would cook dozens of eggs & pounds of bacon every morning. I think it's been popular much longer than 100 years.....
He even says that people were turning away from a breakfast which included bacon and eggs, that's why they hired dude to advertise. They were losing market share.
Tbf, when it was banned, pork usually had s lot of parasites. It was easy to get sick from it. I assume that is the real reason why shellfish is also banned but for some reason, that one tends to get ignored along with mixed threads
Just throwing it in there that eggs and bacon was advocated as a good breakfast by Sir Kenelm Digby in his posthumously published in his "Cabinet Opened" in 1669.
The only source I've ever seen for Bernays creating ham and egg breakfasts is Bernays himself. Townsend's YT channel did a bacon and eggs breakfast recipe based on a 1747 cookbook
I don’t see it as ironic at all. He never cared about what impact his propaganda had on society and what works, works, so of course others would use it.
Woah, woah, woah they use 90% less chlorine in the water to sanitize carrots pulled from the ground, than in the tap water we drink straight. And people were complaining about the carrots blushing.
If they’re gonna tell us we can’t transition till we are adults then you shouldn’t be able to get circumcision until you are an adult. You wouldn’t see a lot of circumcision after that.
1:00:30 I have to agree. I stopped putting sugar in my tea for a while... then when someone gave me a mug of tea with sugar in it, and I'm like "Nah, this tastes terrible now." I drank only about a quarter of it.
My grandparents dr has been begging them to stop drinking orange juice and eat an orange instead. But they’re 93 and thoroughly brainwashed. And they don’t understand the difference.
You say it’s ’far from traditional’ but isn’t scamming your fellow man to make a mint, the core of American ethos- the dream. Making it as traditional as an American breakfast you could possibly get.
The same reason why smoothies are not healthy for you. There is a distinct and dramatic difference the way the body handles eating something vs drinking it.
Uh, drinking is ingesting, but yeah, there’s a difference between consuming a large, concentrated amount of something vs a smaller amount thinned out by fiber.
In most countries, people eat whatever they want for breakfast. It's only in North America, and British colonies where specific foods are designated to specific meals.
In China, fried dough sticks from street stalls is pretty common, and for the kids I worked with as an au pair it was always boiled eggs and milk, (multiple families in different regions) I had a spicy noodle or dumpling soup in chongqing every morning for a while, it was one of the most popular breakfast spots on the college campus.
There's no reason commercial orange juice can't be fresh - here (not in the US) we have refrigerated unpasteurized "fresh" orange juice (good on the refrigerator shelf for up to 3 months). We also have "real" baby carrots here.
I am in the US and fresh squeezed is widely available in health food stores, but it will cost more, and have very limited shelf life. Unreconstituted ("not from concentrate") is the middle ground. And, of course, you can buy oranges and squeeze them. Real baby carrots? I have seen bunches of carrots where they are thin, but yeah, not that small. Expensive restaurants may have all sorts of things not commonly in the stores, so I bet there are places. Little potatoes, usually a mixed variety of colors, are very common and available in stores. Something would have to be done with the orange juice to make it last 3 months in the refrigerator. The laws of physics are not different over the pond. Preservative, radiation, or extreme pressure would be the alternatives.
@ChessMasterNate proper clean manufacturing (GMP) and proper refrigeration should be enough for no-preservative juice to be consumable after a couple of months or more. It's not dirt cheap, but something like 2x more than coke - which is fine in my book. Baby carrots are most easy to get frozen (cheap in any frozen veggies freezer) but can also be had fresh with the better grocers and are more expensive than regular carrots, but not terribly.
Still no reason to drink fruit juices unless you’re treating it as a desert. Lots of sugar, digests faster without the fiber leading to even high insulin spikes and more endothelial inflammation. And various vitamins will oxidize rapidly on contact with air.
You're so very wrong. Bacon/eggs or ham/eggs have been around for well over 100 years. These were farmer breakfasts, that were a staple breakfast for my grandparents who ran operated their own farm from 1910s to 1960s. And my great grandparents farmed before them. I am over 50 and i still eat bacon/ham eggs 3-4 days a week for breakfast.
its crazy to think about how many plants we discovered that were found to be toxic in some parts and yet we still eat the other parts of the plant, like rhubarb, tomatoes, cashews, asparagus, potatoes, apples and peaches just to name a few...but HAPPY NEW YEAR, SIMON! love ur many channels and the variety of topics u cover, keep going and free danny, lol
Heya Simon - I love this collection of many of your videos throughout the years. You are as well spoken and entertaining as ever. Kudos to your staff for digging up so much great info. BTW - is that your younger brother in some of those older videos?? Cheers and Happy New Year!
I'm curious; is Simon, someone from Great Britain who currently resides elsewhere in Europe, opining on the "traditional" American Breakfast because Americans are his largest viewership demographic? Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious, as I've noticed a lot of his videos focus on the things in the US.
I can't understand how "dry" breakfast cereals became popular and viewed as part of a "healthy" breakfast. As noted in the video most of them are really nothing more than candy. The last time I bought "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" it was half-price and I bought it with the explicit intent to eat it straight from the box without milk as if it was candy. The only dry cereal I ever buy, and that is rarely, is classic (not honeynut) Cheerios. If you add some blueberries, banana, or strawberries, and no granulated or brown sugar, you end up with a meal that is moderately healthy and tasty. At least compared to all the other dry cereals.
@2:08 I knew a direct descendent of George Washington Hill. Even though he was already rich AF, he was also a cocaine dealer. Some things never change.
Bacon and eggs plus hashbrowns as well as tomatoes with orange juice to wash it down with maybe toast-yes! A nice breakfast you can eat at anytime of day.
Based on what usually ends up in continental breakfasts, the actual average US breakfast is pastries, fruit, cereal, and yogurt. Which honestly sounds a lot closer to reality than what people call a traditional American breakfast. That’s closer to what people in the US eat on special occasions.
From my experience there's at minimum a waffle or pancakes machine or maybe a heated thing of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon or breakfast sausage, coffee, juice, low-fat and or Greek yogurt, some fruit, bagel and or toast, and cereal and possibly oatmeal. I think a contental breakfast is supposed to be low effort food with enough variety for most people to find something they like. I never thought it was supposed to be an American breakfast, I'd go to a breakfast restaurant specifically for that or a diner. We had eggs bacon and pancakes on holiday mornings and weekends otherwise it was oatmeal, cereal or oranges (for me) I think I started making omelets for breakfast when I moved out on my own, bacon eggs and potatoes, easy to cook very filling and reasonably cheap ( at the time)
@@ILoveYou-rv3pd Then it would just be called breakfast. It is called Continental breakfast to distinguish it for the heavy English breakfast originally and the name continues as it still indicates it is not an English or American breakfast. In many tourist oriented foreign places, there are menu items for all 3.
Kyle Hill (a scientist with a healthy love of cats) on UA-cam has an amazing video on how cats are one of the worst animal ecological disaster, a walking, meowing invasive species that single handedly cull multiple species every year
'popular' in USA presumably. Personally, I'm rather doubtful that apple pastries originated with English speakers at all. (cf Tart tatin, Apfel Strudel etc) However - I think most Brits would be of the opinion that if you are going to make a decent apple pie, rather than a merely adequate one, you're going to need some big beautiful Bramley apples, which for some reason seem to be a rarity in the Americas.
the nutrition industrial complex depends on a healthy amount of ignorance, asking too many questions or looking too deeply into what you eat may scare you out of enjoying most foods ever again.
Do schools still dissect animals probbby less now let alone doing the hunting them self? so no suprise , knew a girl that wanted to be a nurse but she passed out at the sight of blood
Poached eggs with Salmon and Hollandaise sauce on English muffins or sourdough toast is delightful. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
I got a cat recently and everything I was reading said wet and dry catfood are about the same health wise unless the cat is older or has certain health conditions then wet food is better. From what I could find dry food is only worse if you leave a food bowl out all day, in which case it can lead to overeating, but if you portion it out then there's not much difference. I wonder if cat food has just gotten better since this video was made, the stuff we have is chicken based.
It really depends on what kind of cat food you get, but in general wet food is better due to their possible kidney issues. The more moisture they get the better, a pet fountain helps entice them to drink more, but moisture in their food helps too. Grain-free, high protein food is best as they are obligate carnivores. Some great kibbles are made, you just have to keep an eye on their litter habits to make sure they don’t develop crystals or some other issue as they age. (About age 7 is considered senior now for cats, which is younger than it used to be) Congrats on your new cat!
Like Saeveth said, its a hydration thing. Cats usually dont drink much in the wild, they get their moisture from killing and eating animals. So if you have a cat on dry food only, they are more likely to develop UTIs and kidney issues. Plus, most dry food is literally crap for cats. Most is little protein and a lot of starchy fillers, which cats cannot digest well. I've heard it compared to living off of McDonalds, you can do it but you wont be healthy. If you have good quality dry food(not just a fancy brand but check the ingredients) and a water fountain, your cats should be fine as long as they aren't overeating
This definitely needs some fact check editing. Peanuts are legumes because they are legumes. That's their botanical family. It's got nothing to do with their unique quirk of spearing their flower stalks into the soil so that their seeds grow pre-planted. They are a pea that happens to have a similar texture and nutritional profile to many nuts.
The British have been eating bacon and eggs for breakfast since the 17th century, but the full English breakfast as we know it today has evolved over time:

When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's I, along with some other kids, actually tried Gravy Train dry dog food. Actually it was pretty good! Think beef flavored raw pasta. I have also heard of some very poor people here in the U.S. using canned cat food in place of canned tuna. When you're poor and hungry you will eat just about anything!! My wife and are not to that point yet but I - while in no wise a vegan - have meat in my meals less than a 3rd of the time. The problem is canned vegetables are getting damned expensive. And don't even talk about fresh.
I thought the USA breakfast was like most things American just the English/British version slightly modified to be worse, then insisting they invented it.
I’ve had both and in their individual countries. And you can’t go around saying America’s are so awful than saying we do the same thing you do. Well you can, but see where it adds up.
@DanaTheInsane I had both too and they are the same but worse , just 2 examples on paper both have bacon and sausage but UK and USA bacon is different so is the sausage . Awful is definitive , worse is comparative so not interchangeable words
Just came back from trip to Spain for two weeks. Only breakfast anywhere was bread with butter and coffee. Going to the diner for a big plate of eggs, bacon and toast was the first thing i did when I got back. 😂
Back in the 1990's I worked in a frozen food factory, We had a load of carrots that had been rejected at every factory from east anglia to the north east of scotland. just boxes of slime, I was astounded when the Quality guy accepted them. we used caustic soda to take off the root veg skin back then and when the carrots came out they were "Baby carrots" just the cores left, Still once they were in a Marks and Spencer frozen baby carrot bags no one would know !
Farmers (US) didn’t eat much meat (especially bacon) at breakfast. You butchered your one pig in the fall and smoked and salted the meat to be used all year. There is not enough pork belly on one pig to have much bacon for the year. Most pork belly was salted and cooked with dried beans for lunch and dinner. On my family’s farm, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they sold most of the eggs and butter, so didn’t eat many eggs. They ate biscuits for breakfast (with jelly or plain or broken up in buttermilk) they drank buttermilk (the liquid left after you churn butter). This was a small (50 acre) farm in the US south that primarily raised mules and grew tobacco.
Wait this is my first time on this channel, is this a compilation of all of simons breakfast related videos in the past or did simon shave his beard? He looks surprisingly young even ignoring the beard??
Don't trust him for English pronunciations, I'm English and he says a lot of things odd I assume either because he's lived in the USA for years or because he's reading things and has never heard how they are said.
V-"it"-a min = British/ most other derivatives of English. Vite a min = American English. Similar to the aluminium pronunciation/spelling thing. Americans tend to be the outlier for these things, yet because a lot of TV/film is America centric, even UA-cam tbh you hear the American version more often. America is also pretty insular Vs other countries so don't consume media from other English speaking countries, which is why you find reviews of books saying that the author can't spell because they use British English rather than American English.

Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious, as I've noticed a lot of his videos focus on the things in the US.
U.S. writers. Sometimes he speaks of them.
@@robinpollard7629 Thanks.
Makes sense to target the largest lucrative market for advertising to.
I remember as a kid that the commercials always said (in the US), “part of a complete breakfast” & showed a ton of food!
I can't understand how "dry" breakfast cereals became popular and viewed as part of a "healthy" breakfast. As noted in the video most of them are really nothing more than candy. The last time I bought "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" it was half-price and I bought it with the explicit intent to eat it straight from the box without milk as if it was candy. The only dry cereal I ever buy, and that is rarely, is classic (not honeynut) Cheerios. If you add some blueberries, banana, or strawberries, and no granulated or brown sugar, you end up with a meal that is moderately healthy and tasty. At least compared to all the other dry cereals.
@2:08 I knew a direct descendent of George Washington Hill. Even though he was already rich AF, he was also a cocaine dealer. Some things never change.
Bacon and eggs plus hashbrowns as well as tomatoes with orange juice to wash it down with maybe toast-yes! A nice breakfast you can eat at anytime of day.

Or Maine" 🤣 (Native Mainer here)
Based on what usually ends up in continental breakfasts, the actual average US breakfast is pastries, fruit, cereal, and yogurt. Which honestly sounds a lot closer to reality than what people call a traditional American breakfast. That’s closer to what people in the US eat on special occasions.
Curious - what continent do you believe 'continental breakfast' refers to? Hint: the name of the continent begins with an E
@ regardless of where the name comes from, it’s what’s offered to Americans for breakfast, because it’s what Americans eat for breakfast.
From my experience there's at minimum a waffle or pancakes machine or maybe a heated thing of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon or breakfast sausage, coffee, juice, low-fat and or Greek yogurt, some fruit, bagel and or toast, and cereal and possibly oatmeal. I think a contental breakfast is supposed to be low effort food with enough variety for most people to find something they like. I never thought it was supposed to be an American breakfast, I'd go to a breakfast restaurant specifically for that or a diner.
We had eggs bacon and pancakes on holiday mornings and weekends otherwise it was oatmeal, cereal or oranges (for me) I think I started making omelets for breakfast when I moved out on my own, bacon eggs and potatoes, easy to cook very filling and reasonably cheap ( at the time)
@@ILoveYou-rv3pd Then it would just be called breakfast. It is called Continental breakfast to distinguish it for the heavy English breakfast originally and the name continues as it still indicates it is not an English or American breakfast. In many tourist oriented foreign places, there are menu items for all 3.
Carbs are cheap, that’s why so many places pass off a bunch of bread and refined sugar as breakfast.
Because it's bacon. Bacon is God's gift to mankind.
Well, pigs gift to mankind, but still valid.
This literally popped in my feed as I'm ordering a continental breakfast from Coney Island
wow I just asked myself this question in the shower a couple days ago
Kyle Hill (a scientist with a healthy love of cats) on UA-cam has an amazing video on how cats are one of the worst animal ecological disaster, a walking, meowing invasive species that single handedly cull multiple species every year
As a country boy, I was going to say farmers.
Thought this video was going to be a long haul.. It wasn't, it flew over. Very interesting!! Thank you!
I cleaned the carrots room a few times at DelMonte.
Can we stop with the 'as American as apple pie' schtick? Apple pie is a British invention!
Well, yes, but the popular version is the American one. It's also the one with almost triple the sugar..
'popular' in USA presumably. Personally, I'm rather doubtful that apple pastries originated with English speakers at all. (cf Tart tatin, Apfel Strudel etc) However - I think most Brits would be of the opinion that if you are going to make a decent apple pie, rather than a merely adequate one, you're going to need some big beautiful Bramley apples, which for some reason seem to be a rarity in the Americas.
this channel explaining modern equivalents in 100 years should be good.
the nutrition industrial complex depends on a healthy amount of ignorance, asking too many questions or looking too deeply into what you eat may scare you out of enjoying most foods ever again.
Well, most industrialized foods. You can find so many great alternatives in the farmer's market.
Do schools still dissect animals probbby less now let alone doing the hunting them self? so no suprise , knew a girl that wanted to be a nurse but she passed out at the sight of blood
Poached eggs with Salmon and Hollandaise sauce on English muffins or sourdough toast is delightful. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
smoked ?
Salmon was peasant food and nearly all of it now is farmed and unhealthy
Meanwhile.. in America... We're on our 4th major carrot recall from listeria.. IN 6 MONTHS
I got a cat recently and everything I was reading said wet and dry catfood are about the same health wise unless the cat is older or has certain health conditions then wet food is better. From what I could find dry food is only worse if you leave a food bowl out all day, in which case it can lead to overeating, but if you portion it out then there's not much difference. I wonder if cat food has just gotten better since this video was made, the stuff we have is chicken based.
It really depends on what kind of cat food you get, but in general wet food is better due to their possible kidney issues. The more moisture they get the better, a pet fountain helps entice them to drink more, but moisture in their food helps too. Grain-free, high protein food is best as they are obligate carnivores. Some great kibbles are made, you just have to keep an eye on their litter habits to make sure they don’t develop crystals or some other issue as they age. (About age 7 is considered senior now for cats, which is younger than it used to be)
Congrats on your new cat!
I worked at an animal home they all got dry food but the old cats were also given sardines in tomato that we mushed up in a bowl once or twice a week.
Like Saeveth said, its a hydration thing. Cats usually dont drink much in the wild, they get their moisture from killing and eating animals. So if you have a cat on dry food only, they are more likely to develop UTIs and kidney issues. Plus, most dry food is literally crap for cats. Most is little protein and a lot of starchy fillers, which cats cannot digest well. I've heard it compared to living off of McDonalds, you can do it but you wont be healthy.
If you have good quality dry food(not just a fancy brand but check the ingredients) and a water fountain, your cats should be fine as long as they aren't overeating
@@GreatSageSunWukong tomatoes are bad for cats, small amounts probably won’t make them sick but they are considered a toxic substance for cats.
@saeveth thank you for your reply I think I'll add in some wet food at dinner,
So Mint Oreos and a glass of milk followed by a Mountain Dew isn't a normal breakfast? Hmmm...sugar, calcium, and caffeine. Damn. 😂
Good lord! That TV dinner Simon is messing with my head!
Video about Ad campaigns? Nah
Video of Whistle Boys many transformation? Hell yeah!
Make me feel more stupid, I could have swore this with Simon's channel. That's not Simon, right?????
I remember having to get up in the morning and get fresh cow milk for breakfast.
This definitely needs some fact check editing. Peanuts are legumes because they are legumes. That's their botanical family. It's got nothing to do with their unique quirk of spearing their flower stalks into the soil so that their seeds grow pre-planted.
They are a pea that happens to have a similar texture and nutritional profile to many nuts.
Seen Rhubarb growing wild on 57th and Halsted in Chicago. It grows and was everywhere lol.
The spoon you used is at least two teaspoons!😂
The British have been eating bacon and eggs for breakfast since the 17th century, but the full English breakfast as we know it today has evolved over time:
Sure it's mentioned here somewhere, but just for your future reference, Ballets Russes is pronounced "Bal A Roose" Thanks for all your work on you amazing videos 🙏
Your shows are awesome Simon, simply great viewing. V/r KMc
Steak and eggs is all day food
Simon looks so young in some of these lol It's like flipping through an old photo album haha
51:38 Man... if you have never had that style of tea, you're missing out.
When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's I, along with some other kids, actually tried Gravy Train dry dog food. Actually it was pretty good! Think beef flavored raw pasta. I have also heard of some very poor people here in the U.S. using canned cat food in place of canned tuna. When you're poor and hungry you will eat just about anything!! My wife and are not to that point yet but I - while in no wise a vegan - have meat in my meals less than a 3rd of the time. The problem is canned vegetables are getting damned expensive. And don't even talk about fresh.
This episode must have been way back in the vault
Yes, about ten years.
same reason this is lunch and dinner.
I thought the USA breakfast was like most things American just the English/British version slightly modified to be worse, then insisting they invented it.
I’ve had both and in their individual countries. And you can’t go around saying America’s are so awful than saying we do the same thing you do. Well you can, but see where it adds up.
@DanaTheInsane I had both too and they are the same but worse , just 2 examples on paper both have bacon and sausage but UK and USA bacon is different so is the sausage . Awful is definitive , worse is comparative so not interchangeable words
The cats did not evolve much than their ancestors because they simply refused to.
Also, yay for floppy-eared dogs! Adorable!
Just ate a Klodike bar. They got me. I didnt do anything too crazy for it though.
Big Carrot finally got to Whistler
Just came back from trip to Spain for two weeks. Only breakfast anywhere was bread with butter and coffee. Going to the diner for a big plate of eggs, bacon and toast was the first thing i did when I got back. 😂
Back in the 1990's I worked in a frozen food factory, We had a load of carrots that had been rejected at every factory from east anglia to the north east of scotland. just boxes of slime, I was astounded when the Quality guy accepted them.
we used caustic soda to take off the root veg skin back then and when the carrots came out they were "Baby carrots" just the cores left, Still once they were in a Marks and Spencer frozen baby carrot bags no one would know !
I swear to God he made a video on this already
Now I know who to blame that every breakfast meal everywhere is egg based. I HATE eggs.
That Quaker oat study is very interesting although it was extremely unethical.
Clean shaven Simon. Lookin good
Seeing Simon's beard disappear was not on my 2025 bingo card.
Great Facts! :D
I like cooking bacon, then use the bacon grease to cook french fries.
That was awesome I got to see Simon without a beard now my mind is blown
Farmers (US) didn’t eat much meat (especially bacon) at breakfast. You butchered your one pig in the fall and smoked and salted the meat to be used all year. There is not enough pork belly on one pig to have much bacon for the year. Most pork belly was salted and cooked with dried beans for lunch and dinner. On my family’s farm, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they sold most of the eggs and butter, so didn’t eat many eggs. They ate biscuits for breakfast (with jelly or plain or broken up in buttermilk) they drank buttermilk (the liquid left after you churn butter). This was a small (50 acre) farm in the US south that primarily raised mules and grew tobacco.
Wow, Simon looking like Mr Potato Head while talking about spuds. Brilliant 👍 😂
Rhubarb and apple crumble is lovely. As a child I would eat raw rhubarb dipped in sugar
It’s 1428 and I’m eating breakfast foods lol
How did you get the internet in the Middle Ages?
I got scared for a minute. Simon with no beard is scary. I'm gonna have nightmares now.
Wait this is my first time on this channel, is this a compilation of all of simons breakfast related videos in the past or did simon shave his beard? He looks surprisingly young even ignoring the beard??
Edward the 1st wore Spoons? What crazy bloke he was..🤣😂🤣
This was a lotta work to do a reverse timelapse of simons age and beard.....well played
Nobody said anything about his vitamin pronunciation. I didn't know it was pronounced that way in England.
Don't trust him for English pronunciations, I'm English and he says a lot of things odd I assume either because he's lived in the USA for years or because he's reading things and has never heard how they are said.
V-"it"-a min = British/ most other derivatives of English. Vite a min = American English. Similar to the aluminium pronunciation/spelling thing. Americans tend to be the outlier for these things, yet because a lot of TV/film is America centric, even UA-cam tbh you hear the American version more often. America is also pretty insular Vs other countries so don't consume media from other English speaking countries, which is why you find reviews of books saying that the author can't spell because they use British English rather than American English.
You guys have come a long way since the days of that blue/green background
Naked face Simon made me laugh out loud
