As a Texan, where we're famous for our slow cooked beef brisket, I've found the mistake is expecting frozen stuff like this to taste like that cooked 14+ hours in a smoke pit. Different foods. But--everyone isn't in range as we are here, to have real slow cooked beef, chicken and pork (and sometimes turkey). These frozen manufactured foods can be an acceptable substitute. Great video!
The thumbnail was awesome.. looked like you were having a beefgasm 🤣 but in all seriousness.. love your video's always an honest and no bs review.. keep on keeping on 👍
I bought one of these from Asda for £5.25, but it had a barbecue sauce. Hardly enough meat for two of us, I decided to slice it and leave the sauce as it's basically just sugar. They just want you to pull it about to make it look more. I wouldn't buy it again. Good to see your review Gareth, great video as always 😊
Thanks so much for this review ..It looks tasty ..might have to give it a go . Love that thumbnail , you couldn't have timed it better lol !!! Look forward to the live on Friday x
TGI Fridays is great if you want to be pestered by a grown up behaving like a 5 year old. Who then has to bring you your food and be really cheerful and helpful. I went there once, 30 years ago. I'm still recovering.
Gareth Brisket is a cut of beef that comes from the lower breast or pectoral muscles of a cow. Because this area is so well-exercised, it makes for quite a tough piece of meat that's full of connective tissue. This is why it has to be cooked slowly otherwise would be tough and chewy. It's great for BBQ the Yanks smoke it for hours. It is delicious and not well known in the UK as in the US. Jewish people been cooking it for hundreds of years and introduced it to the USA.
Foodie, many years ago(early 80's) my local Chinese takeaway had a Shredded Pork dish and to this day I have not found anything that came close to the taste of that dish, it was quite simply divine 🤤
Another video I missed 🥴🥴. Last month I bought a small beef brisket from Aldi. It was on the reduced shelf so it was well priced, ( well below £6 ). I just stuck it my freezer. A couple of weeks later I cooked it in my slow cooker for 6 hrs with some red wine and veg. It was lovely. On another shop I bought a pulled beef meal, ( also well below £6 ), and to be honest it was also lovely and cooked in half the time. I’m not a lover of all the American sauces that come with these meals, so I tend to leave them off, maybe add a bit of red wine or Guinness to the mix. So all in all this is a great buy. A great review, sorry I missed it.🤔🥴🤔.
I've had this and I agree it is delicious. Doesn't look a lot but I found it very filling. Didn't bother pulling it apart, I just sliced it like a beef joint.
ive been watching you for along time but never commented before .. so i just wanted to say how brilliant your page is and thank you for all you bring to us .. best channel on youtube by far .. keep going fella 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dusty is very sad to not receiving this said dish you like. It looks fantastic indeed but to me its a memory and buy it again. Wife and kids want it also. Cheers M8
Hi there, another great video from you. Keep up the good work. This does look good. I haven’t done many of these products but do need to have a great review from you.
Over here TGIF freezer stuff is good but Fridays is expensive. They have a bunch of frozen appetizers in our stores in US, but costs more than other brands
I would serve it with Red cabbage including apple and a few cloves (best removed before serving). Find a German recipe or check out your supermarket frozen veg. Plus creamy mash.
Thanks BFG for this review,ive been looking at this item for months but felt it wasnt gonna be nice,So next week i will purchase it,You could put it in a burger bun with some homemade coleslaw,Thanks again and enjoy ur day.......Bless
Absolut quality, thanks soo much for that, am havin it, this weekend...cracking review....gonna add, a little bit of j.d. ,to mine....can't go wrong with this....regards mark...
Hi Gaz! I’ve just had one of these for lunch, whilst being gorgeous, I think that it needed some of that lush and melting brisket fat on it, as proper smokehouse brisket always has!
Only been to a TGI Fridays once for a Family Birthday.Can't remember exactly what I had coz it was Years ago but the beer was good and cold and I'm sure the food was too
@Bald Foodie Guy Good Atmosphere and Good food from what I can remember Mate.I was more interested in the Beer from what I can remember it being a Birthday and end of the week kinda thing.
In Canada I would say pulled pork is favorite. Very easy to make in the oven, 6-7 hours for a pork loin triple wrapped in foil, mmmm tomorrow maybe. Cheers for posting.
Looks proper belting this,would have this with mixed veg,mash and Yorkshire puddings,deffo going to try this,thank you Gareth and keep up the fantastic work and keep well and safe as always.
That looks deliciious! French fries also go well with this or "hush puppies" (fried balls of cornbread with a bit of onion - savoury rather than sweet).
I'd boil up some rigatoni so its just spongy. Rince & dry then fry it in garlic butter & parsley lob it straight on top in the pan with the beef then add mozzerella grated cheese, grill it until crispy then wolf down the lot !!! Thats how I'd have it Gazza.
Slow cooked brisket is lovely (well, not as much as shin but ...). And brisket typically £10 a kilo or less. Surely if you have a slow cooker, then take the hint and make it in that in a marinade? Its not as if it was particularly convenient to cook.
I'm pleased it was good Gareth, it looked like a burnt offering. It's always a worry with brisket in case it's tough. I did a piece in the slow cooker for seven hours and it was still tough.
Does look like it’s burnt - or a Christmas pudding! Although a Christmas pudding isn’t usually rectangular! It’s bur-bon - Bourbon is a chocolate cream biscuit!
Have u tried from aldi "Oakhurst - chicken King kebab- peri peri "they are amazing too plenty of meat on them too with a good kick of heat to go with it, lovely with pitta, salad and some sauce😊😊😊
Hi, the brisket is nice and so is the pulled pork. I was walking round Lidl earlier and in the middle aisle there was a barbecue pizza oven which made me think you could of done with that a few weeks ago when you tried having a go at cooking the pizza on your barbecue lol
We British and our American friends tend to get the pronunciation mixed up. It's the same spelling but pronounced differently the biscuit is pronounced borebon and the drink is pronounced burrbon but both spellings is bourbon. 🥴🤪🤯🤣😂.
Seen that today, didn’t bother. I always put the sauce on top ( can’t be bothered doing separate) when cooking but I am a philistine. Definitely get it next time.
Thumbnail is hilarious🤣🤣🤣
🤣😋👍that's the idea
Too funny 😂😂😂
Yea I thought that he was demon possessed lol 😆
Looks like that guy in Starship Troopers when he got his brains sucked out! 😂

The best food channel on YT by a long way-real food for us real people---great job fella.
Cheers Richard
Your bang on.😊
I can smell the aroma from here in Saskatchewan, Canada. Oh, Boy, having this with peas and mashed potatoes. WOW!😊
Cheers John, so good this 👍
Yeah, buttered mash with that! I blinkin starvin

14+ hour smoke pit tucker...🤤👍 Is worth waiting for.
Yes this was really tasty, top drawer. All the best pal 👍
I don't think anyone expects it to taste the same as fresh slow cooked. That would be silly wouldn't it.
@@Harpy-Mark-Tomlinson Why do snobs always comment like this. You're not rich. Just stop.
@@octavenoize Boy, you'd be educated...
That thumbnail accompanied with the headline “ pulled meat “ 😂😂😂
Haha yes got got it 😂👍

Nothing better than having your beef pulled
Haha
Thank you for the video,would be nice with savoury potato wedges and roasted veg for you as a meal xx
You're welcome
Don't apologize for the shadows. If your spring has been anything like ours, some sunlight is undoubtedly welcome.
Thanks so much for this review ..It looks tasty ..might have to give it a go .
Love that thumbnail , you couldn't have timed it better lol !!! Look forward to the live on Friday x
See you Friday
Looks good, Just bought 3lb of sticky beef ribs from my local butcher (Danslows in Gravesend) £5.99 for 3lb
Looks delicious. Chips and peas for me. Great video BFG
Cheers pal

I wondered what you was doing then when i saw the thumbnail! "I need a moment alone so Gertcha!" As chaz and dave would say! Hahaha
Haha yes

This was a treat. I didn't burn it either lol . Very good. Cheers Gerry.

So good this mate.
Spike Milligan always used to say if you don't make any plans nothing can go wrong love the channel
Haha exactly
Will try it...Thank You.
Literally just back from getting a tattoo, saw and bought this in iceland. Come home and see it on my recommended. Spot on that
crack me up every time hear some slippish juice top man 😂
Haha yes
looks good pal. think id have it in a wrap with onion, spicy wedges and a chilli dip. or just as is , with a lettuce leaf for ballanced diet. 😁🤣
Thanks for covering the Allergens 💜
ive been watching you for along time but never commented before .. so i just wanted to say how brilliant your page is and thank you for all you bring to us .. best channel on youtube by far .. keep going fella 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers Tony, I appreciate it pal. 👍
Dusty is very sad to not receiving this said dish you like. It looks fantastic indeed but to me its a memory and buy it again.
Wife and kids want it also. Cheers M8
Just knew that would be good. Any brisket is, with or without sauce. Cooked long and slow it's the best joint money can buy.
Wow! Those bad boys look amazing! You should do an American tour of the south bbq smoke houses……soon when you’re a rich TH-camr..yes sirrrrr!!
Oh that would be a dream
I believe you normally have that with sliced white bread and pickles (gherkins).
Loved the thumbnail Gareth. Looking possessed 😂
Haha cheers Ian
Hi there, another great video from you. Keep up the good work. This does look good. I haven’t done many of these products but do need to have a great review from you.
Cheers Pal, will do.
Just watching this makes my mouth water
So good
Double thumbs up just for the video thumbnail alone! 🤣😂
Haha you're welcome 😊
Its nice you finally got something good to review.
Me too
Love the channel Gareth, but that thumbnail…….where is your other hand 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Your channel is fantastic, and it brightens up my day👍
Haha cheers Scott
I find it funny that I see more TGI Fridays branded frozen meals in your video than what I see in the walmart where Im at.
🤣👍
that looked good, will be getting one of these in, love beef brisket
The facial expressions say it all Gareth it certainly looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Haha cheers pal
I would have that with buttered new potatoes and broccoli. Thanks for the review Gareth, it looks amazing! :)
Where have you been,haven't seen you in ages..👏👏👏,that beef looks bloody lovely,well done..👍👍👍
Thank you
😂 great review Gaz again and can see you were in heaven by your thumbnail 😅 will have to give it a try, 😋xx
Haha xxx

You really enjoyed this one mate didn't you
Your videos are the best
So honest reviews and a pleasure to watch
You're welcome
Looked well nice , love the thumbnail 😂😂
Haha cheers
Nice review 👍😂😂😂😂
I had The jolly hog BBQ pulled pork the other day was amazing
Got it in Tesco £5.50 oh 😅
TGI Fridays is typically around 20 quid a head. You can see the menu online.
Wow that's expensive 😕
"Sorry about The Shadows: not the group". Makes me smile every time.
Haha cheers
I've got a beef joint cooking as I watch this and OMG I want that pulled beef now, I am salivating. Great video as usual. Thank you.
Cheers Nobby
I honestly think they would be good in a wrap for my pack up 😂😂
Oh yes please
Erm would be nice served with broccoli and cauliflower. With chips.
That looks delicious! Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
Cheers Barbie
The way I like doing it, toast a 1/2 Ciabatta loaf , butter the inside then spread the left over sauce inside before putting the pulled beef into it.
I thought Gareth was drunk on the thumbnail lol.. food looks 😋.. hope he and his good lady enjoyed 👍
Haha no
Oh ok 👍
I would have it in a wrap with crispy salad!
That thumbnail face was me in the naafi eating a roll over hot dog and a steak bake lol
Haha cheers brother
I would serve it with Red cabbage including apple and a few cloves (best removed before serving). Find a German recipe or check out your supermarket frozen veg. Plus creamy mash.
Yummy 😋
That thumbnail is gold 😄. Keep up the great work mate 👍
Haha yes

That on a bed of Rice and gardem pease would be yummy !!

Is so good pal this. 👌
Hi gaz great video , that on a nice tiger barm with some slaw would be nice
Cheers Andy, good shout
Thanks Gareth im getting this today doing it with garlic butter hastle back potatoes and corn
That looks deliciious! French fries also go well with this or "hush puppies" (fried balls of cornbread with a bit of onion - savoury rather than sweet).
Best thumbnail ive seem to date Gaz hahahaha brilliant!
Haha yes, it deserved that 😂
The Pulled Beef looks Lovely !!! Meat is very Expensive Wherever you buy it these Days !!!
I will have to try Iceland the shop. I've only been to the Alcaraz one in the North Atlantic warra dump and cold
Great review will try those babies and TGI isn’t bad not been there for a long time but they used to be good
Cheers Stuart

Great review Gaz the only thing is the price for the quantity if it’s not on offer but it looks really good 👏👏👍👍
£6 is expensive for that. I havnt tried it but i think id like it. I normally get pulled bbq pork packs from asda or tesco
Nice one
Have u tried from aldi "Oakhurst - chicken King kebab- peri peri "they are amazing too plenty of meat on them too with a good kick of heat to go with it, lovely with pitta, salad and some sauce😊😊😊
Yes tried it, very good 👍
Sold lol , I’m gonna put some on them Asda bao buns for tomorrow’s tea :)
Gareth looks amazing. Can't believe its been a year since the burnt ends😮. Great impression of Paul Daniels. Not a lot 🤣🤣
Cheers John
That thumbnail 😂😂😂

drop half a dozen large onion rings around the plate
Now that did look very sticky and tasty Gareth, Chuck in some home roasted chips/wedges an some salad n slaw/sauerkraut and you’re sorted 💯 %
Yes top drawer this Bill for sure
