Happy Sunday Evening Folks! Thanks for joining me for another video, as always I really appreciate it. Probably one for the millennials more than anything, but I'm sure you'll all enjoy taking a look see at what a British school dinner used to look like in the mid 90's! Special thanks to Against Gravity for their cover of Mambo Number 5: ua-cam.com/video/zjnx2GTup7s/v-deo.html I included it at the beginning because it's basically the first song I think of when I remember high school for some reason... Don't forget to join me this Thursday at 7pm GMT when I'll be trying to crack yet another restaurant challenge record! See you then ;)
Chips, cheese and gravy! There's me thinking you couldn't get more awesome. Shame you weren't around in the early 80s when the best ever thing was the the chicken pie! I've tried recreating it but alas. Mysterious cities of gold was the ultimate cartoon to watch as a kid btw.
BeardMeatsFood Fun fact; The thick crust that comes on a traditional Cornish pasty is designed for miners, you’d hold the pasty on the crust, eat all the meaty bit and throw the crust away because of your dirty hands!
For those of you who have not heard on Instagram or Facebook, Adam (aka Beard) has lost his father. Please keep him in your prayers and let's send positive vibes even if he's a little slow on content for a little while. RIP Papa Beard. 🙏
All I remember is the plastic trays with separate spaces for cutlery, cup places and the dog/cat food they use to serve us.. and unscrewing the salt shaker lid on the teacher's table lol
Hi Beard. Yes, Pasty's are eaten in Michigan Upper Peninsula where all the mines are. Still eat them there today. May 24th is officially Michigan Pasty Day. Growing up in the 70's and 80's, out school lunches were not much better. Nasty spagetti, personal pizza day, Mac & Cheese, french fries, corn, green beans, etc. You could choose from chocolate or regular milk (2%). Anyway, hope this helps you out and the info about Pastys. How about a bubble and squeak challenge? Lol # BeardArmy #BeardShake
According to Google, "The Cornish found a home when settling in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Montana, South Dakota, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, and Colorado." The Cornish Pasty Co. has multiple locations in Arizona and Nevada.
Hawaiian pizza is a Canadian invention (Canadian bacon and pineapple). In Hawaii they'd use Spam. In the US we have both Jam and Jelly. Jelly is just fruit flavored gelatin, jam usually has actual fruit in it. We also have Fruit Spread which is just pureed fruit that's spreadable.
pasties are a staple in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan..... there are several old mining towns up there.... that is where I am from so thanks for passing this on to the public beard!!
Hey there Adam, Cornish pasties are made in Grass Valley, CA. It's the sister city of Cornwall, England. They are better in England but still very good in the states! Keep up the awesome uploads!
I've never heard of Grass Valley and I've lived here in Cornwall gor 30yrs !! Cornish Pasties cannot legally be called Cornish pasties unless there made in Cornwall. I'll be dammed, then if there's a mine anywhere in the world you'll find a Cornishman in the bottom lol!! Hello from Camborne, Cornwall. 🙋🌞👍
Loved this video, Beard! So much brown food on that platter. My brother and I used to live on brown sauce and toast for breakfast when we were young. Solid breakfast of the 80s
The Cornish were expert miners, and groups emigrated to help with mining operations all over the world, bringing their food with them. Not sure if where you live is a mining area, but apparently you can find Cornish food in parts of California, Mexico and Australia.
Ketchup sandwiches are awesome. In junior school i only ate the veg or fish options. Even smoked mackerel was preferable to the standard choices. I think I was the only person in the school who liked semolina. It needs a dash of salt in it, like porridge for some reason, to be properly edible. I kind of think that eating ambrosia rice pudding was cheating. Our school made their own. It was so awful that if you rolled it into a ball you could use it as a bouncy ball. Our cooks made angel delight on their lazy days. I still love that stuff. Butterscotch & banana together. Mmmm. Lol. I would give any cake type stuff to my friends. Never liked any of it. In secondary school, mum gave me lunch money, but I saved it up. When they got rid of school dinners completely, we had a guy who sold jacket spuds come round twice a week. They were lovely & appreciated in the winter.
I remember everyone hated semolina but I loved it! Still do now. Also, the death of the Turkey twizzler was the worst thing to evera happen to the British school.
The pasty is well known in Mineral Point, WI but also very popular in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. What a delicious platter of brown food. Yum! 😄 Well done Adam- great idea.
Hawaiian pizza (ham and pineapple) was invented in Ontario, Canada. Nobody seems to know about it, but we’re very proud of it. It was also an Ontario man who invented Kraft Dinner cheese so
i got an apple crumble which i thought was microwavable but turned out not to be...and i wasn't about to wait another 30 minutes for it to oven cook while all this stuff got even colder lol
5:00 My mum used to make me a cheese and tomato sandwich if she was being posh but wouldn't wrap it in clingfilm so I'd open my sandwich box and it was more of a salad with a couple of slices of bread.
Giant Lasagna challenge is a killer - think the pub is called “Pride of Paddington” in Paddington (obv). Myself and a friend failed miserably a few years ago but would love to take it on again!
You are right Adam about the Cornish Pasty. It’s a mining town called Butte, it’s in Montana. It was on Man v Food with Adam Richman. The Americans took our traditional pasty and gave it an American twist. Hope this Helps.😀😀
I was just in the hospital for a week after almost dying from my femoral artery rupturing and I watched a bunch of beard meats food videos too to keep me from going crazy. Kept my spirits up too!
So many memories! I think they put that jam in the middle of the semolina to try and take the edge off it or as a distraction technique but yeah, it was pretty minging back in the 70s at Junior school. We had nearly all the same things apart from the dinosaurs, lasagne, arctic roll, milk in a glass bottle, come to think of I don't remember having Cornish Pasties either but the rest was exactly the same right down to the thick skin on the custard and more chips than you could shake a stick at! God, I am going to go on a binge the next time I'm back to see the family! lol
I never heard of pasties until my in- laws came back from an old coal mining town in Butte Montana. They are famous for their pasties. What we call hand held pies where I'm from in America. Pasty is more fun and shorter to say 😂.
I saw something on tv about these Butte "pasties". They look nothing like what we would call a "Cornish pastie" in the UK. I would love to try one though. I have a jumbo Cornish pastie in my fridge as i write this.
The US had lunch guidelines when I attended school during the 80s and 90s, but they only applied to the kids who bought their lunch. Kids who brought their lunches from home were never bothered. Anyway, about the food selection you ate back then - it seems alien compared to here in America. School night dinners varied, but mom would cool spaghetti; lasagne; meatloaf; fried chicken w/ greens and whipped potatoes; hamburgers on a bun w/ french fries (you Brits call these ‘chips’); stir fry (could be beef or chicken with vegetables); pork chops, apple sauce and greens; and many, many other dishes. As for actual deserts: Klondike bars; Keebler cookies (mostly EL Fudge); Quaker Oats chocolate chip granola bars; Hostess Twinkies, Snowballs or Funny Bones; and other snacks I can’t think of at the moment. School lunches were dire affairs until high school, but I remember them being something like the following: *Monday* Peanut Butter Jelly sandwich w/ potato chips and milk; *Tuesday* Beef Strognaoff w/ rice pilaf and greens; *Wednesday* Chicken patty on a bun w/ fries and corn; *Thursday* Chili w/ bread, butter and a cookie; *Friday* French bread pizza w/ corn chips and a brownie.
Iceland may do it not sure I never go In heron foods might be a northern thing there is also jack Fultons you go try no tmsire if they have that where you are
I remember having mash peas, maybe beans and some sort of formed meat, we had jam Roly poly with pink custard, or chocolate cake with pink custard. It was all home made too, I remember watching the ladies pealing potatoes an stuff. Secondary school all that was edible was chips n gravy. I never remember ever having pies or chicken nuggets.
There used to be a sponge with pink icing and coconut on top; I loved it. I think it was called Tottenham cake. I fully agree about the parsley sauce. Why must they put parsley in everything?
I was at grammar school in Liverpool 1963 to 69. Our dinners were considerably less fancy than this . Boiled potatoes and mince is my recollection. Plus stinky fish cakes on Fridays (Catholic). Puddings were quite good (especially jam roly-poly with custard). All for 1 shilling (About 5 pence)
Those french bread pizzas were amazing, the sausage pizza ones especially. Soup and a hotdog day was great, chicken crumble and square chips another highlight
''i caught her eating a ketchup sandwich'' best line ive ever heard from you about mrs beard! haha, and YES i love HP sauce especially fruity HP but hated it as a child, my nana got me used to it by putting it on my bacon sarnies even though i wanted red
MAN this week was a blast. You uploaded two amazing videos, just insane, one of my favorite. I remember eating similar things as a kid even tho I'm not British. It really brings up memories... So as I said amazing video and keep up the great work;)
This brought back memories. Lol. Used to live off golden drummers, double decker fish cake sandwiches, rice pudding and apple pie with hot custard. Oh and sugar puffs for breakfast. Then i moved out of my parents and found pizza and beer haha
Famous sayings... "Clean your plate!" "There are starving children in Africa " "You'll eat it, and you'll like it." "You're not leaving this table until you finish that." Etc
I think the lasagna challenge used to be at the Pride of Paddington in London, but they don't do it anymore, Beard. They do a giant burger or a giant chicken parmigiana challenge now, called the Terry Tucker Eating Challenge. 20 minutes or less and it's free!
*I'm interested to see the foods you eat when you're not doing these food challenges. Maybe you could show us what you eat in a day (or week) in a video sometime?! Please :)*
Only just found your channel now binge watching 🤣 we loved salad cream, brown sauce or tomato sauce sandwiches if we didn’t have anything else in the house this was a staple
Pasties are really popular in the Northern parts of Michigan state in the US. From my experience, they seem to be basically the same as what you refer to as "Cornish" pasties.
My mum walked in on me watching this as you said “and you can actually flick the skin back in” and she just looked at me weirdly then walked out of my room🙃😂
Hi Beard, 3 years late but I'm just discovering your videos and if noone mentioned it yet the Pasty eating place in the U.S. is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, it was a mining community of Finish that took them down into the mines and they are made all over the peninsula and are a huge point of pride.
@@SwiftTelly20 somewhere between prog rock, pop rock and metal. Also with the exception of "the color before the sun" all of their albums are set in a science fiction universe written by the singer, with optional graphic novels you can read to get more of the story. So each song has a "concept" meaning and usually a "real life" meaning (relationships, politics, what have you).
Cornish pasties have been eaten in mining towns in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (US state) ever since experienced miners from Cornwall, UK immigrated there in the 1840's. Later on the Cornish pasty was adopted by immigrant Finnish and Italian miners, who looked to their Cornish supervisors for cues on how to behave in American culture. The food then remained a staple with miner families until the 1950's when the Mackinac Bridge opened which allowed for tourism to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Upon visiting, tourists from southern Michigan and other places took great liking to these pasties making them even more popular and widespread in the area.
Yes, I've done gravy on a pizza. When I was in high school I worked for Domino's and we would make what we called "Spuds Pizza." It was simply a regular Domino's pizza where you replace the sauce with KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't beat a slice of pizza with chips and watery gravy which soaked into your pizza base, followed by a brick size portion of cornflake tart and custard, yum...those were the days lol.
If you found it strange that misses Beard ate a sandwich with ketchup.... You should try to eat just a sandwich with mayo and dip it in the coocked juices of mussels! Best thing ever!
It originated from the county of Cornwall,UK. It's also made and eaten in the neighbouring county of Devon. Taken to the Tin mines during the 1700s it was said to be savory at one end of the pasty and sweet at the other possibly jam a meal in one.
At my school we had our milk at morning break. Chocolate cake with mint custard for use. We also have jam sponge cake with pink custard. 1 meal I detested was fish pie. Good videos
Based on a quick Google search, it looks like a few of the colonial states are familiar with Cornish pasties. Mainly Virginia and Massachusetts. Boston even boasts the Cornish pasty company. My nephew's girlfriend is a native Alaskan and spent years cooking for the fishing crew that she was part of in alaska. She prepared a meal for my family several years ago that I never knew what to call until watching this episode. I would have to say that what she prepared for us was Cornish pasties stuffed with some sort of poultry, cheddar cheese and maybe some vegetables. I want to say they included peas and carrots and possibly onions. They were very tasty, but I think that may have been because the amount of butter she used in her recipe was equal to the amount of all the other ingredients combined...
You're so right about brown sauce! My 20 year old has just started eating it after covering everything in ketchup for years. I welcomed her to the dark side. 😄 Oh... and no school milk since Thatcher the milk snatcher! Great videos, thank you for the memories and the laughs. X
Butte Montana! We love our pasties here! Very rich mining heritage here. Pasties are a very traditional miners lunch. Pork chop sandwiches are also a big hit here. Greetings from Butte!
The town is Grass Valley, California. It was a gold mining town and we still have a couple pasty places in town! It’s crazy you have heard of it because it’s a super small town
This is a great challenge - proper nostalgia (I know it's 4 yrs ago but I'm new to BMF) some of these were classics. Jam Roly Poly remains my favourite desert to this day. Findus Crispy Pancakes should 100% have been on that platter.

@@js9430Pasties are very popular in Montana. British miners brought them to the Northern Rockies in the late 1800s.
Lol I’m from Wisconsin and I always drive up to Iron Mountain for pasties. They rock!!!
Ya I live in that mining town it's ontonogon and we call it the u.p and we're Yoopers
This is brilliant,watching loads of you beard over this lockdown here in Ireland.
No turkey twizzlers? Bliddy Jamie Oliver
Daniel Forbes mate they were the best
I was just about to leave a comment saying that
They were like gold dust, saying that a lad I knew would eat a full plate full of them with chips. So when you got some you savoured them
Omg i loved them
They need to re release them one day

The UP is probably the best undiscovered region in the US! My plan is to retire there in exactly 11 years.
nice another michigander...i'm a troll though :)
I was going to say that. Being from northern Michigan. I grew up on them. They are great.
Fellow American. Second to Canadian...we still love you.. Also, North Dakota doesn't exist.
Hey there Adam, Cornish pasties are made in Grass Valley, CA. It's the sister city of Cornwall, England. They are better in England but still very good in the states! Keep up the awesome uploads!

I have a trick in my school, the later you go the more likely you get leftovers, especially well on fish and chips day or pizza day.
I love the idea of a packed lunch challenge , should do something like a picnic basket bonanza ! Keep up the great content beard !
Loved this video, Beard! So much brown food on that platter. My brother and I used to live on brown sauce and toast for breakfast when we were young. Solid breakfast of the 80s
Loved this! Please do more nostalgic/retro challenges. My bf and I had turkey dinosaurs this week, what a coincidence.
Nah, Pasties are huge in Michigan, its awesome! I lived there all my life lol, theyd cook them on shovels
Yess pasties are the bomb 💣
The Cornish were expert miners, and groups emigrated to help with mining operations all over the world, bringing their food with them. Not sure if where you live is a mining area, but apparently you can find Cornish food in parts of California, Mexico and Australia.
You forgot that cornflake jam tart with custard lol
Oh yes! I remember that😂
Yes I love that too! Too many gorgeous puds from back then. Coconut jam sponge and custard. Sooooo sweet but tasty
They are popular in Wisconsin, but also in Vienna, Virginia - the Cornish Pasty
We had mash using an ice cream scoop 🤢 my daughter says they still do it 😂
that made them taste better
Yep, hospitals do that too.
Subway uses ice cream scoops for their tuna.... off putting
Why, it's just a over curved spoon.
Ketchup sandwiches are awesome.
In junior school i only ate the veg or fish options. Even smoked mackerel was preferable to the standard choices. I think I was the only person in the school who liked semolina. It needs a dash of salt in it, like porridge for some reason, to be properly edible.
I kind of think that eating ambrosia rice pudding was cheating. Our school made their own. It was so awful that if you rolled it into a ball you could use it as a bouncy ball.

Ambrosia semolina is very good. All semolina is, is sweet polenta.
@@suntexi No, Semolina is wheat not cornmeal like Polenta.
Findus Crispy Pancakes have made a comeback so there's still hope for Turkey Twizzlers.
@@joycejames8461 They're(Turkey Twizzlers) in Iceland again!
I was born in the early 90’s we still had this exact food in school haha.
I remember we used to have the selection of strawberry, mint, chocolate and normal custard and would have it over a hard chocolate biscuits
A lot of people are telling me about this pink custard...never saw it once lol
We used to get custard in digestive biscuits. It was lovely.
Hot pink custard was the only way you could eat chocolate concrete without a trip to the dentist.
Only remember having normal custard and chocolate custard
@Beard, semolina is a grain made from durum wheat, and it’s cooked with milk to make a milk pudding. It’s one of my favourite puddings.
Ketchup sandwiches!!!! Classic. Mrs Beard is an absolute legend!! 😊💛
There’s Cornish pasties in Australia too
The pasty is well known in Mineral Point, WI but also very popular in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. What a delicious platter of brown food. Yum! 😄 Well done Adam- great idea.
thanks Kim, I knew I'd read about it somewhere haha
@bobbie brown my cousin used to live there. It's a beautiful area!
Elko Nevada has a place where they buy the pasties by the cooler. Has the British bulldog on its sign.
Hawaiian pizza (ham and pineapple) was invented in Ontario, Canada. Nobody seems to know about it, but we’re very proud of it. It was also an Ontario man who invented Kraft Dinner cheese so

Didnt anyone else have lamb slices with roast potatos, cabbage and mint sauce??? Best day ever
You are right Adam about the Cornish Pasty. It’s a mining town called Butte, it’s in Montana. It was on Man v Food with Adam Richman. The Americans took our traditional pasty and gave it an American twist. Hope this Helps.😀😀
What episode? I can't find it😢😅
findus crispy pancakes were life !
Yeah the mince ones were the business 👍
I still eat them
Helen Taylor we used to have them with chips and beans. Called it ‘the binner dinner’
I used to love those back in the day! Found some last year and they were so shit 😂 I was so disappointed
I live them
Cheesy chips, cheese and tomato pizza covered in gravy WITH SALAD CREAM
Staple lunch for many years ❤️
Watching from my bedside here at the hospital! Nothing like a Beard's video to keep the spirits up in here! Great vid, as always!

I never heard of pasties until my in- laws came back from an old coal mining town in Butte Montana. They are famous for their pasties. What we call hand held pies where I'm from in America. Pasty is more fun and shorter to say 😂.
I was going to say this too. My grandfather in law grew up eating pasties in Butte.
I was about to comment but you beat me to it. Saw this on man v food Adam Rickman. Cornish pasties in butte Montana. Evil knievel land.
Why do americas take an english (and correct) name of something and change it to something stupid? Hand held pies wtf lol
I saw something on tv about these Butte "pasties". They look nothing like what we would call a "Cornish pastie" in the UK. I would love to try one though.

Upper Michigan and Mineral Point, Wisconsin were both mining areas with lots of Cornish descent.
And Cornish pasties are eaten all over Michigan's upper peninsula as well as some parts of Montana and Minnesota

Hi Beard, 3 years late but I'm just discovering your videos and if noone mentioned it yet the Pasty eating place in the U.S. is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, it was a mining community of Finish that took them down into the mines and they are made all over the peninsula and are a huge point of pride.
Omg. You are a coheed and cambria fan? This is now my new favorite channel. They are my favorite band.
yeah absolutely...don't really like their new stuff but everything from second stage turbine blade up to no world for tomorrow was great
What did I do to deserve all this?!
Have you heard unheavenly creatures? Its very much like their old stuff
I've never heard of coheed and cambria. What genre of music are they from?
@@SwiftTelly20 somewhere between prog rock, pop rock and metal.
Also with the exception of "the color before the sun" all of their albums are set in a science fiction universe written by the singer, with optional graphic novels you can read to get more of the story. So each song has a "concept" meaning and usually a "real life" meaning (relationships, politics, what have you).
My school dinners got so bad. The school had to buy meals from Tesco for the WHOLE school. No fooling.
You should do this again with food they serve today and see the difference between the 2.
Loved this video so many memories 🤣😁
haha lindsey's mum is a dinner lady so I wonder if she could hook it up for me to film in a school haha
@@Beardmeatsfood I would love to see that video 😁
Cornish pasties have been eaten in mining towns in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (US state) ever since experienced miners from Cornwall, UK immigrated there in the 1840's. Later on the Cornish pasty was adopted by immigrant Finnish and Italian miners, who looked to their Cornish supervisors for cues on how to behave in American culture.
The food then remained a staple with miner families until the 1950's when the Mackinac Bridge opened which allowed for tourism to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Upon visiting, tourists from southern Michigan and other places took great liking to these pasties making them even more popular and widespread in the area.

Yes, I've done gravy on a pizza. When I was in high school I worked for Domino's and we would make what we called "Spuds Pizza." It was simply a regular Domino's pizza where you replace the sauce with KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
When he drank the rice pudding 😂
Couldn't beat a slice of pizza with chips and watery gravy which soaked into your pizza base, followed by a brick size portion of cornflake tart and custard, yum...those were the days lol.
Hope it's chips, it's chips, we hope it's chips it's chips!
"We'll have to wait and see" 🎵
If you found it strange that misses Beard ate a sandwich with ketchup.... You should try to eat just a sandwich with mayo and dip it in the coocked juices of mussels! Best thing ever!
Love the videos from Colorado! 🇺🇸🔥
thanks jesse :)
Specifically a mining town, Butte, MT, but Pasties are big in Michigan.
Beard “that’s a Hawaii thing not an American thing”
It took me 5 minutes after to realize also that Hawaii was a part of America 😂😂
The best part is that Canadians first decided to put pineapple on pizza but we call it Hawaiian pizza in America 🤷♂️
Either way, it's a hate crime against Italians and should be stopped at all costs
@@MrHeftyFine Its delicious either so we should expand on that and make it even better.
The most iconic childhood dinner: turkey dinosaurs, potato smiley faces and ketchup
Needs beans that
Could do a turkey twizzlers one now they’re back 😂
We had Blancmange pudding quite often at school for sweet. And great pots of tea, no milk for our dinners.
It’s Bute Montana the Cornish pasty was designed for the miners
It originated from the county of Cornwall,UK. It's also made and eaten in the neighbouring county of Devon. Taken to the Tin mines during the 1700s it was said to be savory at one end of the pasty and sweet at the other possibly jam a meal in one.
Shinobi was one of my favorite games as a kid. Good on ya for making that reference mate. Appreciated ❤
you missed out chocolate pudding and mint custard :)
MINT CUSTARD !!
I used to eat condiment sandwiches - bread with mayo and mustard. LOL
Love Ketchup sandwiches 🔥😍❤
Rosana Brayshaw 🤢
Chocolate sponge and pink custard!! That was a primary school classic 🤤
Mmmm beige banquet
At my school we had our milk at morning break. Chocolate cake with mint custard for use. We also have jam sponge cake with pink custard. 1 meal I detested was fish pie.
Good videos
Cheese, chips and gravy? That must have been a Yorkshire thing... didn’t have that in Durham. Sausage rolls, chips and beans was da bomb 💣
Durham it's so poor there you must eat out the bins
Lol i still go to school in Durham and the only person in Britain ever who doesn't like chips
Based on a quick Google search, it looks like a few of the colonial states are familiar with Cornish pasties. Mainly Virginia and Massachusetts. Boston even boasts the Cornish pasty company. My nephew's girlfriend is a native Alaskan and spent years cooking for the fishing crew that she was part of in alaska. She prepared a meal for my family several years ago that I never knew what to call until watching this episode. I would have to say that what she prepared for us was Cornish pasties stuffed with some sort of poultry, cheddar cheese and maybe some vegetables. I want to say they included peas and carrots and possibly onions. They were very tasty, but I think that may have been because the amount of butter she used in her recipe was equal to the amount of all the other ingredients combined...
Gotta be the biggest Luts guddittt you've done
You're so right about brown sauce! My 20 year old has just started eating it after covering everything in ketchup for years. I welcomed her to the dark side. 😄 Oh... and no school milk since Thatcher the milk snatcher! Great videos, thank you for the memories and the laughs. X
Is there a reason u only target one thing at a time.... I'd love to have say the pizza and chips at same time
Butte Montana! We love our pasties here! Very rich mining heritage here. Pasties are a very traditional miners lunch. Pork chop sandwiches are also a big hit here. Greetings from Butte!
Nothing wrong with a ketchup butty lol. Might even have one for my supper
The town is Grass Valley, California. It was a gold mining town and we still have a couple pasty places in town! It’s crazy you have heard of it because it’s a super small town
"lol maybe thats a hawaiian" to be fair hawaii has only been part of the us since 1898
Funnily enough, Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek dude living in Ontario, Canada.
@@chriscoffman3586 yup
In the states we had Dino-Bites instead of turkey dinosaurs. They were simply dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. But I feel your nostalgia, Beard.
No Alphabites or Bernard Mathews turkey drummers!!!
there are so many things i missed it's almost a good thing...I'll have plenty of things for a sequel video
World record bag of scratchings?
This is a great challenge - proper nostalgia (I know it's 4 yrs ago but I'm new to BMF) some of these were classics. Jam Roly Poly remains my favourite desert to this day. Findus Crispy Pancakes should 100% have been on that platter.
