My thing is just to wipe the knife off on the non buttered side of the toast. Does the job well enough. I'm going to try Grace's way though. Sounds smart.
can I just say how wholesome this is. grace you are a pure example of intuitive eating and having a fantastic relationship with food. I struggle with an eating disorder and honestly watching somebody just appreciate and love food for what it is and nothing more helps so much 💛 I just filmed my ED story on my channel (not out yet) and I mention you for this very reason - I hope you don’t mind xxxx
The setting; later 80's early 90's, The Netherlands. As a kid I would eat either porridge or brown bread sandwiches for breakfast, then take with me for lunch 1 brown bread sandwich with gouda cheese in it, then for dinner the standard meat-potato-veg combinations. We rarely had dessert/pudding, and when we did have it it was usually just a small portion of plain yoghurt. We sometimes had custard (made from custard powder), and my mother would put a rusk in a soup plate, put a teaspoon of jam on top, and then pour warm custard over it. We would wait until it was no longer super hot to eat it. That's one of the things I remember most from childhood food. We would never snack, just 3 meals a day. In the late nineties I was in high school and we would be allowed to pick one bag of crisps for the whole family and one type of soda (usually off brand cola) for saturday evening movie night. Back in those days we just hoped a good movie would come onto tv on saturday movie night. We didn't really have the money to rent a vhs/dvd in those days, plus the vhs/rental place was a long way from our house.
@@HackerActivist Also in the late 80's early 90's? White bread and sugary cereal was available back then where I lived but my mom didn't bring it into the house.
Party rings and jaffa cakes used to come in those small plastic trays and we'd rip the plastic off the top of them i remember it being exciting. I wasnt allowed pack lunches, just school dinners. So on school trips I would get so excited and my mum would make the biggest pack lunch for me. One time she was sick so my dad made it instead, he didn't know what goes in a pack lunch so he just handed me two whole boxes of mr kipling slices and a pack of cheesestrings and sent me on the trip. I remember the teachers took my lunch haha.
Eastern Europe here, early 2000s - we had both school breakfast and lunch. Meals cooked in the school cafeteria, no snacks or vending machines, no fizzy drinks. Crisps were something you’d only get at a party, a few times a year. Happy meal was the biggest treat 😭
Everyone in the ER Room tonight...every single nurse here says tell you THANKS!🙏🏻💐👏🏻The knife trick to clean your knife was amazing!! You are BRILLIANT!!🥰
Fake Lynn i call it dinner idk if it’s just because I’m from London so growing up Everyone called it dinner of if my family is weird but your right loads of Brits call it tea
No one asked for this but this is 10 year old me’s diet Breakfast: cereal or porridge sometimes toast but not much Lunch: sandwich fruit crackers and water After school snack: toast with butter and a cup of tea Dinner: some sort of meat vegetables and potatoes Pudding: depends but typically apple pie Snack: fruit, toast, crackers or cereal :)
Mine was: Breakfast: usually pancakes, i lived 5 mins away from school so we could take our time Lunch: I had free school meals so whatever was on offer Dinner: pasta, pizza etc Snacks: raspberries, crisps etc
omg elevelsesssss!!!!! I was describing them to some of my friends and they had no clue what they were! I will deffo be picking a pack of them up from tesco now I know they are still being sold
The fabulous baking boys factory was in the town I grew up in, used to walk past it all the time, it suddenly shut down I believe, was sad to see it empty. The flap jacks they did were amazing 😍
Omg Echo bars 😱👌 I loved them so bloody much also anyone else remember spicy tomato wheat crunchies? & I used to love them fruit cocktail pots Aswell so many good memories in this video
Yes! Baker Boy Cupcakes where the one. I was so sad when I remembered them and tried to find them, to only find that the company went bust. They also use to do Flapjacks 😍
It would be so much fun if you did another video of you eating like your teenager self, it may be interesting to see how your tastebuds changed from kid to adolescent and how you evolved to liking the foods you like now!! So much love!!❤️
As a German girl, I am still so confused about the fact that Britain's basically eat crisps as a normal food for lunch or a snack. It's only a'party' or 'movie food' for me :D
Me and my friends were talking about lunches from primary school the other day (we are now in sixth form) and after a lot of research found out the fabulous baker boys cakes have been discontinued - feel like we should all join together together to get them back on the shelves ! Love the video !
Crazy how I've only just found your channel, i saw you in a Taz video but had no idea your a TH-camr as well. Best discovery ever! You're flipping hilarious. You and your dad creasing at absolutely nothing had me dying today. Blessing be upon you and da fam! Peace Out!
So loved this blast from your past! Your mom was such an amazing parent and influence on you with the baking and the cooking and the wholesome foods. Thanks for sharing!
oh my god this brought back so many memories!!!! I love videos like these, those echo bars were my favourite things ever when I was younger I'm actually devastated that don't sell them anymore
I'm from Norway and grew up in the 80s. I would eat what you call open-faced sandwiches three times a day (breakfast, lunch and "night food"). A typical meal for me was sliced bread with margarine and sliced, cured meat. A glass of milk to drink for every day - the treat was if I could get some Nesquick powdered chocolate in my milk! Sometimes I would bring an apple or a carrot extra with my packed lunch, but that was not very typical. For dinner, something easy, like hot dogs and mashed potatoes. My favourite drink was orange squash.
😮😮😮 Echos bars!!! I always thought I remembered my childhood school snacks pretty well but I totally forgot about those! What happened to them, I never noticed them disappearing (NGL, did come to detest them; the chocolate tastes fake..?). Our other snacks included the jammy wagon wheels (not a fave), rocky bars, club bars, Kit Kats, penguin bars… and our crisps were always the multipack Tesco own brand (which was called “Select” back then). Also, those mixed packs of biscuits are what we’d call “coffee morning biscuits”, no prizes for guessing why. 😝 🤣🤣🤣 on what you said about your mum being Bargain Queen. My Dad right there. We used to call him Mr. BOGOF 😂. We also always had to have store brand when available. 😘
This was literally my childhood diet too! My mom always cooked dinners as well. And white bread? - I’m pretty sure asking for that was worse than if I had cursed 🤣
Bit late of a reply but that's actually quite a common thing for lactose intolerance to develop in early adulthood. It was a mutation (weirdly linked to the blue eye mutation so a very long time ago now) that allowed human adults to be lactose tolerant in the first place, historically speaking we never used to be.
I grew up in a town near Milano, Italy. In the morning, cereals and milk, freshly squeezed orange juice and a toast. At school at 10:30 I had a tiny bottle of sparkling water and a little round fresh sandwich with salami or ham; at lunch at the school depending on the menu. Usually peas with tomato sauce and some meat or fish or chicken; but also we had pasta first and then the dish of the day. At 4 pm, some fruit and something to drink while doing homework’s. At night always some veggies and fish, chicken or meat depending on what I had for lunch rotation. The last day of school everybody has a slice of pizza!!! I could have soda only on weekends. Nutella was banned and now I’m still not a fan of it.
This was incredible to watch. I love your passion for food and food memories. That said, I ate really differently than you as a 10 yr old. I chose to be vegetarian at 8 and my mom started cooking that way after that, besides the times my parents had fish. I got a lot of leftovers that other kids thought were really weird (like falafels) 🧆 or extra health conscious foods, like almond butter and honey on toasted Ezekiel for lunch. I only was allowed sweet cereal twice a year, once on my birthday and the other time on my sister’s, when we both chose the cereal of our choice and unwrapped it from it’s gift paper on our bday mornings! My mom cooked homeade meals every night too but her go to resource was a tofu cookbook. We rarely had dessert but when we did the chocolate or lemon tofu pudding was amazing. She also would make veggi chili and cornbread, broccoli quiche and tofu manicotti. All super tasty
Grace as she walked by absolutely everything: "I always really wanted these but never got them" Did you ever actually tell your Kim that you wanted that fruity juice?? Or did she think you were happy with what she got? Lol Mothers aren't psychic, and I say that now that I have grown kids that say "I wish we had (enter product here" when we were kids".... yeah, about 15 years too late in letting me know lol
My favorite meal as a kid was my mom's meatloaf, which she served with stewed tomatoes and some kind of potato dish; or her tuna salad, which she made in a huge bowl and put lettuce, green onion, bell pepper, tomato, hard boiled eggs, celery, chopped dill pickle, sliced black olives, and whatever fresh vegetables she had on hand; then she would mix canned tuna, mayo, sweet relish and pepper together and then toss it in with the salad fixings. She served this with warm bread and butter and maybe a fruit salad, too. Such great memories!!
Imagine just casually going around the shop at whatever time you fancied, in whatever direction you fancied, and filming it as you did so. Wonderful times.
Omg i literally used to take like 5 of those baking boys cupcakes into school! remember stuffing them into my blazer pockets before leaving the house, forgot all about them! They were the bomb haha. I am personally still mourning the loss of Echoes and don't think i'll ever get over it tbh. I also actually remember getting soooooo sick of some snacks, my mum too would only buy things on special offer but she would GO TO ABSOLUTE TOWN and buy in proper bulk... we would have had enough Fruit Flakes, Mini Rolls, Wagon Wheels and Blue Ribands to last us until university if we hadn't been sharing them out at school. Such a good throwback vid!
I love digestives! You can get them in the British section for the authentic brand. But they taste the same as the other brands in the biscuit aisle. Yummy with s cup of tea! I'm 30 not 90 I swear lol
My childhood meals were completely different, I came from a single parent family and my dad is disabled so we didn't have a lot of income so I got free breakfast and lunches at school. The for tea it was beans on toast or something like that as we get loads of tins from food banks, my primary school did a thing once a week were students on low income had tea at the school and I remember looking forward to that day so much as it will different to home, there was times me and my dad would skip tea so my little sisters could have something. My dad always told me about them so I could get a big breakfast and lunch so I was not hungry at tea time. So grateful for them days as it makes you value things more being in that situation x
Also, I'm going to google food from 1968, because that's when I was 10. Although my mother also cooked from scratch, and we very seldom had pudding/dessert. Or crisps/chips.
For me, breakfast was porridge or toast, snack was homemade flapjacks. always had packed lunch as well, school lunch was far too expensive lol usually had a jam sandwich with 2 fruits, a Chewy bar, and some days a yogurt. After school snack was toast and/or 2 biscuits usually custard creams. Dinner was always homemade as well; stew, bolognese, mash beans and sausage, soup night always on a wednesday and then bread night (fast day) on a friday. Dessert usually was homemade rice pudding or custard with some sort of sponge, or icecream and fruit cocktail
I thought the photo of you when you was younger in your thumbnail was a recreation photo that you did for the video! You look identical, nothing has changed bless 😄
10 year old me was eating fried pork chops with black eyed peas and fried potatoes that had chopped onions in them, other nights were bulk meals that would last a few days like chili, shepherds pie, Texas hash, chicken n dumplings, lasagna, taco soup. My grandma bakes so for pudding it was anything she had which could be pies, cookies or some kind of sweet bread. Breakfast was homemade biscuits n gravy or egg sandwiches. Lunch was leftovers from the night before or we would get cuban sandwiches from our favorite spot
This was such a nostalgic video. I remember getting so excited for breakfast club so that I could have chocolate spread on white toast, and puddings were only for the weekend. Loved watching this x
As a kid we ate cornflakes and powdered milk. Packed lunch was a peanut butter sandwich & an apple. Supper was meat patty (if we were lucky) boiled green beans and boiled potatoes. If we were very lucky there might be custard but my mum regularly burnt it. There were no cookies, junk food or crisps etc except at Christmas and New Year. The menu rarely deviated from this
This is probably the most British family I’ve ever witnessed
Um actually all brits are like this........it’s who we are
Lola M.M Wrong. I don’t know anyone who’s family is like that.
@@mcbusted1985 really? I agree with Lola.
@@lolam.m2362 yes!!

Same!!!
I agree! Awesome!!
My thing is just to wipe the knife off on the non buttered side of the toast. Does the job well enough. I'm going to try Grace's way though. Sounds smart.
Rise not when the bread is well toasted though
Any kid that wapped a mini pack of Jaffa cakes out of their lunch box was definitely from the posh part of the village
LaurenLaurenLauren they were my favourite things in primary school - them and the mini packets of Oreos!
Haha my mum was that mum and people thought we were posh 😂
Them and the mini packet of pringles.
Haha, so true
Kathy Smith omg I forgot about the mini packs of pringles
This was so British, as an American, it was like watching someone speak another language
Greta Weise Quite literally!!! I love it though 😍 feels like I learned so much. Got a sneak peal into a British home for sure
Man said language
you do know English people invented the English language right? lmao
yes papa it’s sort of a simile. Comparing things. Not saying it’s actually true.
Greta Weise language... say that again
For a second I couldn’t figure out whether mini grace in the thumbnail was current grace just messing about
Love your videosssss😂❤️
Grace: We had home cooked meals every night
Me: I had turkey dinosaurs and chips
Lydia Ford still me now im 18
Accurate!
Wht are turkey dinosaurs?

My parents never got white bread either so whenever I got the chance to eat it, I would LOSE MY MIND!!!!!!
Bakin boy cakes were the best - the definition of my childhood
Omg I forgot about them!
Yeah they sadly went bankrupt 😢
Sameeee😭😭
There's so much stuff that has changed
Grace: “this is a thing that I thought everyone does “
Also Grace: proceeds to stab her knife into the side of her toast😂😂😂

no offense grace, but i was under the impression that you already ate like a 10 year old 😅

🥰🤩💗🦓
That's so bad omg
She definitely does not
You could probably find the stuff you had when you were younger in a corner shop. Because they always have the old and weird stuff

9:05 I’ VE BEEN HUNTING FOR THOSE CAKES AS WELL!!! THEY WERE SOO GOODDD
Iqra- Potatoes thank yoouuuu samee
Omg 😱 totALLY forgot about these!!
I found them a few weeks back in my local corner shop!
Iqra- Potatoes omg they were amazing
SAME! didn’t think they existed anymore
Everyone in the ER Room tonight...every single nurse here says tell you THANKS!🙏🏻💐👏🏻The knife trick to clean your knife was amazing!! You are BRILLIANT!!🥰
2:24 Yes echo bars and M&Ms top bars. The best. Also campino sweets, Astros and Mr Freeze lolly ices. Nostalgic.
Astros were my jam!! And fuse bars and wham bars
"I've not done that many miles! Oh yes I have" 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
omg those bakin boy cakes... i literally haven't thought about them in YEARS i'd eat them all the time wtf, lowkey heartbroken they're gone 🥺
i love how wholesome, authentic and nostalgic this is! x
Made me feel like my childhood watching it with her and we have nothing in common lol
i remember being obsessed with cheese strings when i was 10
Ayesha Maryam I am now, at 30 😅
Oh my gosh mum wouldn’t buy them, too expenny 😭
McDonalds Farmer probably not coronaviras
I love how I’m sitting here thinking having a biscuit tin is fancy
Grace- I ate like 10 year old me for a day
Also grace- I haven’t had this pudding since I was eight
"YOU DON'T LIKE A JAM AND CREAM"😂😂😂
So much nostalgia, I love it. Your videos always bring a smile to my face :)
Yes - sticking your knife in the toast to clean it! Thought everyone did that too...
I am always confused when she mentions having “tea” and then proceeds to eat a *meal* with no tea in sight.
it refers to the time of day rather than what you're actually having

Fake Lynn i call it dinner idk if it’s just because I’m from London so growing up Everyone called it dinner of if my family is weird but your right loads of Brits call it tea
@@halimah6182 i call it dinner lol and sometimes we had supper but not always, i’m from a little village in warwickshire for reference

Me, an American: literally no clue what anything from this video was the entire time 😂
haha yup, the only thing we have that she showed was the del monte canned fruit lol
Is a cookie a biscuit?
@@MimiMakesStuff I'd say so
Eyleen Crain cookies are entirely their own thing here, not a biscuit. A biscuit would be something like a custard creme, digestive or an oreo.
@@darkslayer709 Good point
the fabulous bakin boy’s chocolate cupcakes were the BEST! omg i completely forgot about them where have they gone

She sounds like a normal British person, because I’m British too. We say, “crisps” “sweets” “roundabouts”. You’re welcome. And bourbons are my fav

Wait what do Americans call roundabouts? I thought it was the same in both languages.
@@laartje24 they don't typically have them in the US for some reason so they don't have a name for them I don't think

Dear god I misread the title as “I ate my 10 year old self”
I was like.. Pardon..?
I kind of wish you brought your mom to explain her thought process, and to show what would make the lunch cut now 😁
The knife in the toast is such a hack, I’ll be doing that from now on 😂
Omg I was dying at the “actual chaos” bit at dinner time 😂😂😂😂 so bloody relatable.
It’s usually carnage at dinner time at my house too!
No one asked for this but this is 10 year old me’s diet
Breakfast: cereal or porridge sometimes toast but not much
Lunch: sandwich fruit crackers and water
After school snack: toast with butter and a cup of tea
Dinner: some sort of meat vegetables and potatoes
Pudding: depends but typically apple pie
Snack: fruit, toast, crackers or cereal
:)
Mine was:
Breakfast: usually pancakes, i lived 5 mins away from school so we could take our time
Lunch: I had free school meals so whatever was on offer
Dinner: pasta, pizza etc
Snacks: raspberries, crisps etc
That's a completely fine and healthy what I eat in a day for someone your age :)

The relationship you have with your family is beautiful grace, have a great year with your lovely loved ones.
When I do sponge pudding in the microwave I don’t put the jam in the bottom, I heat it separately in a mug and pour it on the top.

@@TheTardisNamedSexy it's like oats but very fine powded with additives and flavourings!!! What is the cream of wheat?
Omg i literally used to take like 5 of those baking boys cupcakes into school! remember stuffing them into my blazer pockets before leaving the house, forgot all about them! They were the bomb haha. I am personally still mourning the loss of Echoes and don't think i'll ever get over it tbh. I also actually remember getting soooooo sick of some snacks, my mum too would only buy things on special offer but she would GO TO ABSOLUTE TOWN and buy in proper bulk... we would have had enough Fruit Flakes, Mini Rolls, Wagon Wheels and Blue Ribands to last us until university if we hadn't been sharing them out at school. Such a good throwback vid!
This brought back so many memories 😭 x
I love digestives! You can get them in the British section for the authentic brand. But they taste the same as the other brands in the biscuit aisle. Yummy with s cup of tea! I'm 30 not 90 I swear lol
That 1 finger with nail polish bugged my eyes the whole entire video 😜🤣
My childhood meals were completely different, I came from a single parent family and my dad is disabled so we didn't have a lot of income so I got free breakfast and lunches at school. The for tea it was beans on toast or something like that as we get loads of tins from food banks, my primary school did a thing once a week were students on low income had tea at the school and I remember looking forward to that day so much as it will different to home, there was times me and my dad would skip tea so my little sisters could have something. My dad always told me about them so I could get a big breakfast and lunch so I was not hungry at tea time. So grateful for them days as it makes you value things more being in that situation x
So, the spinach and lentils, how is it seasoned? I feel the need to try the pudding. I've never made an actual steamed pudding....
Also, I'm going to google food from 1968, because that's when I was 10. Although my mother also cooked from scratch, and we very seldom had pudding/dessert. Or crisps/chips.
Oh how you haven’t changed , so cute ! I love the memories
9:05 the company that made those has closed down permanently, saw a TikTok about them
For me, breakfast was porridge or toast, snack was homemade flapjacks. always had packed lunch as well, school lunch was far too expensive lol usually had a jam sandwich with 2 fruits, a Chewy bar, and some days a yogurt. After school snack was toast and/or 2 biscuits usually custard creams. Dinner was always homemade as well; stew, bolognese, mash beans and sausage, soup night always on a wednesday and then bread night (fast day) on a friday. Dessert usually was homemade rice pudding or custard with some sort of sponge, or icecream and fruit cocktail
I thought the photo of you when you was younger in your thumbnail was a recreation photo that you did for the video! You look identical, nothing has changed bless 😄
Leah Krilova yeah I thought she just dressed up like a child..
10 year old me was eating fried pork chops with black eyed peas and fried potatoes that had chopped onions in them, other nights were bulk meals that would last a few days like chili, shepherds pie, Texas hash, chicken n dumplings, lasagna, taco soup. My grandma bakes so for pudding it was anything she had which could be pies, cookies or some kind of sweet bread. Breakfast was homemade biscuits n gravy or egg sandwiches. Lunch was leftovers from the night before or we would get cuban sandwiches from our favorite spot
You look just the same omg! 💖
This was such a nostalgic video. I remember getting so excited for breakfast club so that I could have chocolate spread on white toast, and puddings were only for the weekend. Loved watching this x
Me every time I eat a new good vegan food : I should tell Grace about this
As a kid we ate cornflakes and powdered milk. Packed lunch was a peanut butter sandwich & an apple. Supper was meat patty (if we were lucky) boiled green beans and boiled potatoes. If we were very lucky there might be custard but my mum regularly burnt it. There were no cookies, junk food or crisps etc except at Christmas and New Year. The menu rarely deviated from this
Could you post the recipe for the jam pudding pls :))))
absolutely in love with the arm wave you do as an expression of your love for the lentils
I literally had all of those things and the rules like only chocolate cereal on holiday
Like if you did aswellxxxxx/
i'm a new subscriber! finally a british youtuber and in our school we allow crisps all day anyday and i love 50/50 bread!
