When Bar Food Is All You Need

  • When bar food is all you need on a busy lunch time in London. All you need sometimes are some hot snacks or bar food. I don't always fancy a meal for lunch, so this was right up my street. Pub and bar food is usually a winner when it comes to a midweek lunch. Hot pub and bar food hits the spot.

      @Darren it's not as glamorous as people think. It's basically 90% cleaning up crap, maybe 7% cutting up food and 3% with the apes . It's hard work. 👍🦧🦍🐒

    Looking sharper with the bonnet and beard cut shorter. Suits you pal.
    The sausage roll looked mustard shame about the actual mustard sausages!! The joy of trying out food is that you can’t win them all.😂.
    I like the fact you are introducing more “short form” videos DJ. You always bring an edge of class and authenticity.
    In a way this food proves the ethos and point of you’re channel. The reason we appreciate the quality food is that even though a little more pricey it’s still “value for money”. Like you always say “you get what you pay for”!!
    Frogs legs are a must!!
    Keep ‘em coming!!

    Darren one of those sausage rolls looked black burnt, as regards the sausages pity you couldn't of asked for onion gravy to neutralise the over powering mustard heavy sausages. I gree with you that American style mustard much mellower. I like the brown French mustard. I nhindsight I wished you'd of reviewed the street food now starting with the Lebanonese one you passed first, you'll know more next time as you ask more questions after all you keep telling us you are a trained chef. Macmaster still keeps bellie making when he still asks for fish with skin on. Apart from that DJ a cool vlog once again.

    Dj make sure when you hit France, go to the farmers markets, grab a baguette, a tranche of pate, only the French know how to make pate de campagne, pate en croute, check out the local region cheeses, nice bottle of red wine to share(if not on the road otherwise save for later). Oh so envious. Have a wonderful safe trip, ill be riding pillion with you. 🇿🇼 Ps better that those sausage rolls any day😂

    Hello Darren,I'm sure I give you a few years(68yrs and counting)Pub grub was simple fare. Sausages,Shepherds Pie,sandwiches, And it a lunchtime filler.Any left overs ,well a snack for the night drinkers&staff.Your mixture of bit's looked interesting, I thought both sausage rolls had a lot of air space inside. And one was burnt,call in crispy to be kind. As for the honey,mustard bangers, just cook,serve with sauce on the side. And the mustard should always be Coleman's simple. And let's not go down the Plough person's platter 😂😂keep vloging mate,and stayvsafe

  • @JohnWalker-ho4gl
    @JohnWalker-ho4gl ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Given your philosophy regarding honesty and quality foods I really think you should have complained about that meal otherwise they’ll continue dishing up sub par grub to other punters. Looking forward to your jolly and hoping you can find local alternatives to chicken tikka masala, the full English, and fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce if you get my meaning 😉

  • @CustardCream33
    @CustardCream33 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can't beat English mustard Darren! Shits on French/American mustard all day long in my opinion. That being said, it does have a right kick.

  • @markdunn5053

For the French leg of the road trip, frogs legs, snails, seafood platter, lamb shank (soiris d'agneau) hot oysters covered in diced leek, cream and goat's cheese, sea snails (boulot) and mayonnaise,.a snacking croque monsieur or croque madame, French onion soup, cassoulet in the south, boeuf bourguignon on a cold day... that's you fixed😏

    That sausage roll was an absolute disgrace. Who on earth cooks the pastry dry on a sausage roll 🤔 like that. 3 out of 10 that looked proper dry. Maybe they did that so you would buy more drinks at the bar like they do with nuts. I'm surprised you didn't send it back. Safe trip, boss, you hear me. 🙏
