In Italy and Italian-American neighborhoods, a common snack for children is strips of bread dunked in a bowl of the same sauce that will be used for supper, Mama or Nona just ladles a small bowl full of sauce out of the pot that's simmering on the stove. ♥
I grew up on that... every Saturday evening, my mother would make a big pot of sauce and cook the meatballs in it for the following day, , then we could have a nice little meal of sauce and bread. 💜
Yep, as a Brit born and bred, I can confirm that we do indeed consume tinned spaghetti on toast for a light meal, either at midday or early evening, or whenever we need a quick, simple meal. In fact, we have a range of tinned pastas in tomato sauce (spaghetti hoops, alphabetti, animal shpes etc) as wellas tinned maccaroni in cheese sauce. We also use baked beans in this way as well.
Absolutely - as a New Zealander with British ancestry - we had tinned spaghetti or baked beans on toast for breakfast regularly when I was a child. My partner still has it for lunch. I prefer pot noodles these days.
@@markylon Its also quite nice to add curry powder or BBQ sauce to your baked beans too 😉 I personally wouldn't eat it without buttering the toast first though, stops the toast being too dry.
I think I would love that mushroom one. I'm sort of a mushroom fanatic. The seafood spaghetti looked pretty good too. Also, I be the creamy garlic sauce with the spaghetti noodles would be really good if you add shrimp to it!
I love that they sell Marks and Spencers food abroad, that's like the expensive supermarket in the UK lol but spaghetti like that has to be on buttered toast topped with cheese. 💯
May I ask where is the store he bought the pasta from located? I've been watching his videos for a while but I never got the chance to understand his whereabouts 🤗
Oh wow you get M&S food over there! I recommend putting unsweetened salted butter on the toast before the spaghetti for extra oomph! Also if you can get British style canned beef ravioli in a tomato sauce, use buttered bread (instead of toast) & make it into a sandwich, yummy, the warm ravioli melts the butter on the bread & makes it drip & messy but that's half the enjoyment! I guess it's similar to putting instant noodles into a sandwich which I've seen being created by Asian influencers in other videos.
@@kudzu_ Maybe they saw the label "sweet cream" butter and assumed it had sugar added? But then I've never seen "unsweet cream" butter, so that doesn't make sense to me either. Maybe they mean cultured butter?
The 1st Dancing Bacons video I watched hooked me, I was So Entranced by the Food that I actually thought microwaves in Singapore went that Fast for real (idiot me didn't realize the footage was sped up) & I became a Dancing Bacons Fan from then on 🥘🥗🍱
I hadn't thought of cooking spaghetti in the microwave but that looks handy. I bet it'd work with out the cooker and with a partially covered dish as well. Might try that soon
Haha yep beans on toast or spaghetti on toast is the food of students! Its cheap, quick and easy! I had it a lot whem i first moved out of my parents house, my mum always cooked great meals for me when i lived at home but on my own at first i didn’t know how to cook and i didn’t have much money so i lived on cup noodles and beans on toast for a while!
@@joyanna9433 i know but asian Instant food is actually reality good i eat noodles like 3 Times a week, but they should not even try to turn it italian
In uk, we have spaghetti in tomato sauce or beans on toast for a quick snack or on a jacket potato. We also tend to use a knife and fork for this snack
The tinned spaghetti is very much a comfort food, the kind thing British children get fed (because it's easy to eat and child friendly in taste). I think its appeal to adults is mostly nostalgia? I would choose baked beans over tinned spaghetti as an adult every time.
As a general rule, it is always better to cook/ heat the pasta in the sauce for a few minutes after boiling it, that way it absorbs the flavour of the sauce and makes it a lot tastier. I imagine the sauce packet didn't have instructions to heat it because it assumed you had made your pasta in a pot, and if you add the sauce to the still hot pot and stir it before serving it will be a lot better then adding it to a pile of pasta on a plate that has already cooled down.
Love the channel! Visited Singapore in 2013 for 10 days with family. My Mum was delighted to find M&S. We traveled half way round the world just to shop in a store we have in Ireland 😅
Cut-up spaghetti in a can is a thing in Australia as well as Britain, though it's much less popular than baked beans (which also go on toast) these days. I assume when it was introduced, the concept of spaghetti that's deliberately broken up into pieces and sold in cans must have caused a diplomatic incident with Italy. Wars have been started for less.
Hmm. That first one reminds me of Chef Boyardee. The second one reminds me of a line of frozen dinners that claim to be 'steamers', with the meat/veggies /noodles held suspended in a basket and the sauce in the bottom of the bowl: like the dish you got, you heat it up, dump the solids into the sauce, stir it up, and eat. And..I *want* that microwave spaghetti cooker! I'd use that thing all the time.
In America, we would eat the canned spaghetti or even home made with garlic toast. Yummy. Some of those dishes looked really good. Some were quite pricey. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful corner of the world.
M&S is British (the first one in the video - canned spaghetti) and it's usually a high price supermarket compared to others but still the price she mentioned is like 3x more. Crazy.
I find it very odd that you have M&S foods at random asian convenience stores. M&S are a mid to high tier supermarket in the UK. Most of their items are of very nice quality. I just always thought that they were primarily UK based but obviously outsource some of their convenience/tinned foods elsewhere. Very interesting!
The M&S food shouldn't be from random Asian convenience stores. Singapore has M&S stores including the fashion, personal care and M&S Food selection,.os it's likely from M&S stores.
Wow the tinned spaghetti was so expensive! I know getting stuff imported adds to the price but here it costs SGD $0.6 for the cheap brand or SGD $2.20 for the higher quality Heinz brand
Hello as an Italian this video was torture, especially the microwave pasta cooking box! Please tell me you actually put salt in the water, it was very traumatic to not see you do that! Thanks for the hard work and have a good day!
I almost wish these had star ratings from you. Like a mix of price/value, taste, and convenience taken into consideration. Or even just placing the ones tried in each video in rank of best to worst.
First I though that ok, different pasta meals that we got pasta meals at home because pasta dishes are common find in European stores and cooked in European homes I guess. As they are commonly cooked in Finnish homes or some dishes bought ready from stores. Then realizing that they are are pasta meals how they are seen by Asian food market. They are a bit different. That spagetti cooking cadget in a microwave would be actually really cool. Spagetti on a bread as brits have it looks and seems odd in eyes of a Finnish. Though it bit reminds Japanese sandwitches which they fill with ramen. It's strange but flavor must be good. Here we have lots of different pasta dishes either cooked after pasta dish recipes from around the world or with some our own takes on them.
We do that over here in Australia also. Baked beans, tinned spaghett, has to be buttered bread though makes the world of diference. Fairy bread, hundreds and thousands aka sprinkles on buttered bread. Also toasted sandwiches are pretty big in households. Slice of cheese on toast goes well too. Edit: Supermarket oven chicken, already cooked, goes hard. Chicken noodle soup with bread too. Tiger loaf bread with tomato cheese and ham, plenty of salt + pepper, prefered everyday spice blend. Then some added paprika, cayenne, chili flakes. We love our snags over here too in bread with onions mustard and dead horse (tomato sauce). Big staple to have a side of buttered bread.
As a born and bred 100% native white British women, yes... canned (yuck) spaghetti is used on toast as a quick hole filler for our stomachs. Personally I don't like anything tinned besides tomato soup and the odd beans but spaghetti is definitely not on my like list... Fresh or dry spaghetti I'm all for, keep the tinned one away from me though!
Put some garlic butter on that toast with the spaghetti, it will be even better! The cut also makes me feel a lot less self conscious about my moms spaghetti
OMG😲 spaghetti on toast... This is a thing i do many times when i am very much hungry or spaghetti is very spicy.. But being an Asian i don't know it’s an European thing.

Tinned spaghetti on toast with grilled cheese. Delicious. I grew up on this in Australia, it’s not just a British delicacy ❤
Me too in new Zealand 😊
For an italian like me Is a British Abomination. Pasta and bread dont mix.
Pasta is one of favorite kinds of foods

Was anyone else horrified that the bowl wasn’t covered to prevent a mess splattered all over the microwave? 😱

No. We have spags on hot, buttered toast, not bread. Sometimes with a fried egg on the toast, bacon on the side. Yum.

It's common in Japan I know.
In Dominican Republic we do that too.
Lol needs to be buttered toast though
My Italian heart is crying for the first snack
M&S is British. We Brits love spaghetti on buttered coast with some grated cheddar mixed in.
I love the spaghetti cooker from the dollar store. I never seen them in my store.
As a Brit .beans on toast and spaghetti on toast is like a thing. I always put salad cream on it 2 😊 it's yummy .anyone else ?
Wow the tinned spaghetti was so expensive! I know getting stuff imported adds to the price but here it costs SGD $0.6 for the cheap brand or SGD $2.20 for the higher quality Heinz brand
Came here to comment this. Crazy prices!
Here in the UK M&S is usually higher priced supermarket but still those cans are only around 50p (around 0.6 USD).
These foods look so good wish I lived there

When cooking plain pasta, you should ALWAYS add salt to the water, otherwise it will taste blah, regardless of what sauce you add to it.

I like to see how Italian ingredients are freely revisited abroad. The last dish, however, inspires me. The others just don't 😅.

Yes great videos I never miss them I love the way u try all different food I am sure some u dont like I can by the look on your face
U need to toast the toast! 😁
Im from the south in the US and always do spaghetti on toast. I can't have spaghetti without my toast!
As someone who loves pasta I would try all of these.
m&s is an uk supermarket those products you tyred are about 4 times more expensive than here in the uk
I have a request for your channel. Please do more hotpot/bbq kit videos. Those are lovely. However I do like all of the videos that you put out.
M & S (Marks & Spencer) food is great but quite expensive 🇬🇧
Seeing a Marks and Spencer tin outside the UK gave me whiplash 😅
This was recommended to me while i have my frozen canneloni in the oven lol
Pasta is so yummy in my tummy and sound good to me and i❤ this food of you try it
Generally toast is bread that has been browned like in the toaster not just plain white bread, could just be strange translation
1st can marks and Spencer spaghetti costs only £1 or so in uk so that's dear in your country. Obviously export costs added in when sold in store.
Yeah im a Brit to. This is mostly a lunch time meal. But baked beans on toast is the best.
Please make part 2. Because i really like this kind of video. This will be one of my favorites video because it have pasta 🍝🍝🍝
If you will come to Italy you will understand the real taste of pasta
It’s better when you butter your toast first, then put the spaghetti on top ( your toast looked a bit anemic )
Here in Philippines, you'll see some peeps combining spaghetti with bread, whenever there's bday, fiesta, etc. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Australians also have canned spaghetti in jaffles! You can also add cheese.
"Being Asian, I wouldn't think of doing this" being european, me neither. Whenever I see a brit doing that I'm horrified and I'm not even italian
We Italians have choice words for British food and of course the Brits themselves... 😉

Put some garlic butter on that toast with the spaghetti, it will be even better! The cut also makes me feel a lot less self conscious about my moms spaghetti
