CHG's Cottage Pie - Frozen On A Canal

- Yes indeed, the icy weather has returned and as a result, filming for Season 9 has frozen to a halt.
Never mind, that's the perfect excuse (considering the glacial conditions) to conjure up a tasty winter warmer - CHG's Cottage Pie.

What I love about you cooking is that it really is how most of us cook. We’re not G.R. or J.O. We do with what we have and go basic a lot of times. Simple cooking gear and not a lot of extra faff. Thanks for all of what you do.😊👍
Totally agree
I learned how to make egg omelette s watching u😊!. U should also, please, take us far walks when u have errands like grocery shopping. So we can see other things. The whole enchilada. Experience everything. Just saying from across the big pond here in Texas.
@@suzannewilson1763 mmmmm... enchiladas...
Bravo, cheers, and huzzah for your explanation of referring to Aslan as a person. That's the way it has been and always should be. A boat or ship that takes good care of you while you are taking care of her deserves nothing else. Treat her like an "inanimate object" and she'll quit on you when you need her most. That's from a career sailor. Welcome to the brethren CHG!
Ever thought of writing a CHG COOKBOOK? We can all learn from your recipes and style! Can’t wait for your new travels.
I was thinking the same thing. A CHG COOKBOOK would be great!
@@vickiguth620 Me too !! RickLG
We ALL love Aslan and see her ‘soul’!!! ❤️
I just had to smile when you said “Aslan has a soul,” I could not agree more. Now for going to get the ingredients for cottage pie, it has been too long since I had some 😎
Great to see you Kevin!
Nothing like comfort food in the winter. Looks delicious.
👍👍👍👊😎
Great answer on the me/I issue. Perhaps it's just me, but I found the most facinating part of that discussion was the fact that it was brought up at all! Carry on, and keep being you!
Great looking cottage pie, stay warm and hope you break free soon. Aslan is a sailor's wife and deserves all the respect and proper English that any faithful partner does, that from a shipbuilder, driver and nautical person for over 40 years. Have a great day.
Thank you for showing us all how you make cottage pie. I am encouraged to try it myself now. You make it look so uncomplicated & delicious! Greetings from the USA!
Greetings from New Mexico, USA. We tried your cottage pie and it was delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe and your series!!
Love your explanation that Alan has a soul💞
It always amazes me that some people take umbrage about things, it seems rude to me to say to educate yourself, seriously. It’s always such a pleasure to see you, good old shepherds pie yummy. Hope to meet you on the cut one day 👍xx
It is quite like a shepherds pie i guess. Looks so good. Not a ton of difficult prep, pretty fast in execution, and good, simple, comfort food on a chilly day. No rules to it, throw in anything you like, lots of variations as you say. Perfect as all your cooking spots are. 11:30 am here in Vegas, i am going to rummage around the pantry and freezer's here shortly. I have potatoes, carrots, onions, no turkey burger or mince as you brit's call it, but i have some hamburger or beef mince i guess, no oxocubes, but i have some beef boullion in powder form, and it's only warmed up to 50F here today. I have similar weather and all the fixin's.
Guess what i am conjuring for dinner tonight? Thanks for that inspiration Kevin!😀
Strictly speaking shepherds pie should be made with lamb and cottage pie with beef. But really who cares as long as you enjoy it and/or you don't have food intolerances or allergies to any of the ingredients!😃😃
@@pilpelet100 Yeah i know, twas why i said like rather than the same as lol I just got the prep work all done and ready to go for my creation for tonight, firing up the oven and the skillet in 30 minutes here. Can't wait!! :)
It's more like a poultry pie 🥧
@@pilpelet100 Those, like me, who are intolerant to sheep products.
@@davidfinch5062 Point taken and I have amended my original reply accordingly! Be well.
I so enjoy the cooking sessions. Steaming the carrots and boiling the potatoes using the same heat source is absolutely brilliant. Your potato masher is amazing - a true masher!! Also, your thoughts about Aslan as a living being is so beautiful and the idea of saying "Aslan and Me" sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. Arrrgggg! Thrilled with this video - thank you! Becky W.
Nice seeing. Aslan hope she hasnt been skating on the ice😄 nice cottage pie. As for grammer.well at 73 im just trying to remember words 😄😄 loved you saying. Aslan has soul. Like that enjoy your day
Love the cooking episodes again Kevin. Never tried Turkey mince. Must give it a try as it looked really nice. Looking forward to season 9 😊
Superb filming and commentaries Kevin.
I am very pleased to see and hear the good news that you're doing well.
Frozen means no fuel boat
I trust you have enough coal and gas to survive on !
Your cooking recipes sound really tasty, simple ingredients cooked well.
Keep safe warm dry and virus free.
Safe Cruising when the thaw comes along.
Ahhh, I miss Roger. And thanks for video. I needed a break, and that hit the spot. Back to work.
Good for you Kevin...you tell 'em !!
Happy Birthday Kevin. Thanks for all your post. It helps our sanity.
Thanks indeed Kenn. 55 years of age. How did that happen. 😆
@@CountryHouseGent That was over 20 years ago for me. Wife and i feel that you and Aslan help us thru "The Sea of Madness" that find ourselves in today. Thanks.
Traveling and living in my 1961 Avion camper (the iron fireman) for 10 years, I can totally relate to the vessel that allows you to travel and protects you as having a soul.
Your cooking episodes are so enjoyable, thanks!
Thank you for the great vlog, Kevin. My wife and I listened in dismay at the elocution lessons, and when you had finished your explanation, we both said in unison "good for you". Some people...
That looked delicious
Your cottage pie looks delicious. You've inspired me to make it for myself. Looking forward to the full season number nine. ✌
Kevin glad to see you again...I could smell that cottage pie clear over here in the USA lol 😆 sure did look good tho... going to make that sometime...going to have a snow storm Wednesday all day ...cottage pie will be good that day..😋.Have a great week!!
Lovely and warming food in the winter good luck getting free fom the ice on the canal Kevin all for now
You did an excellent job of explaining how and why those of us that live or have boats talk about them as she and I. You are spot on when you said - when you live on a boat you realize that it has a personality and a soul - very well said.
Thank you Dan.
I sit with my laptop in front of my extremely comfortable leather chair doing all and sundry....And then your notification pops up....Looking forward to season nine.....Neil and Mrs Neil......
It just goes to show that he has no idea what the true spirit of this show is all about. Aslan and you are the dynamic duo. I don't know if you can have a mechanical soul mate, but if you can, I'm fairly certain you found her.
It's a sad fact Matthew but there are those who just don't get it. Ah well, their loss. 🤭😁
How true !
thanks Kev nice to see you looking chipper not easy at the moment. you cheered me up as you do.
Another great episode, CHG! Looking forward to watching Season 9!
I have just sold my beloved narrowboat 'KES' and it does feel like I am selling a pet....they do have a heart and soul and she protected me for 4 yearswhile I sorted my life out. I will always thank her for that.
I love when you do your cooking videos Kevin...they are simple and easy to make...thanks for doing them....
Thanks Kevin. Aslan does have a soul. We can hear the heart beating.
Just discovered this channel and I love it. I'm a Brit from Gloucestershire emigrated to U.S. Your boat life is fascinating. Bless.
My pleasure Mickie and welcome aboard. Cheers,
Love love your explanation of using “I” with Aslan. Our homes and dwellings do have a soul. It’s what makes our homes special.
You just needed a Thick chunk of Bread with that Kevin.
I love Kevin's gentle sigh when not answering inane questions.
Me,myself and I would love some of that shepherds pie please
I'm ill at the moment and that made me giggle 😊
Nice to see you Kevin. Love your cooking video's. Who cares about grammar?. Keep warm, looking forward to season 9. Take care.
The cottage pie looks delicious! I'm planning that and a salad for a dinner for this week.
Kevin, I’m looking forward to season 9, one of the things I like best about the show is that you just ramble from time to time. I kind of feel like we are having a conversation. Cheers
Ha, cheers James. Then you're in luck - plenty of rambling to come. :)
good food, a nice tea, and a great boat that is warm, to spend your time in, that combo is hard to beat!!! Enjoy!!!!
Thanks for the vlog Kevin. The scoff looked great, I'll have to give turkey mince a try. Oh and I can't wait to hear the new theme tune. Cheers till next time 👍👍
Looking forward to a new season, Kevin. Stay warm!
Looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing the recipe 💙
Hi Kevin! I learned something today. I was unaware of the distinction one should make, in respect to the use of "I," with inanimate objects and people. What a mouthwatering bit of culinary loveliness that shepherd's pie. Thank you for sharing the preparation with us. Cheers!
Oxo cube and recreational drug......lol gave me quite a laugh. Thanks for brightening the day Kevin. Safe travels when you get out of the ice. Deb
Great work buddy me and the wife have watched all your videos from the beginning 👍 keep up the great work.
Good to see another cooking episode. Thanks. Here in the Colonies we call it Shepherds pie. My mother always made it with a layer of ground (minced) beef, a layer of corn and topped with the mashed potatoes. Looking forward to more.
"She has a Soul" thank you so much kevin. Wonderful meal idea. Another great video.
Well Kevin , I have got some mince out of my freezer this morning to make a spaghetti bolognaise and you made my mouth water this afternoon and I am now making a cottage pie 🤗🤗 Thankyou for the inspiration 😂 I love your cooking vlogs ❤ have a lovely rest of the week 💕👍
Winter warming food! Looks delicious Kevin. Hope it thaws for you soon and you can get under way. We’ve had quite a bit of snow here on Skye this winter. Talking of food we had a Burns three course luncheon here on Wednesday. Very tasty, with lots of craic and laughter. ❤
Thanks for the catch up Kevin. The cottage pie looked great, I had to laugh when I saw you take the first fork full with the steaming tomato on top. They get so hot 😂 I’m really looking forward to season 9, take care for now mate 👍
For what it's worth, a lot of us consider Aslan's nature in the same way as you. Never thought twice about how you referred to her! All the best.
This is to let you know that today, Sunday, I have made a spaghetti bolognese using turkey mince instead of beef mince as mentioned in your vlog. I have to admit it's rather nice, so thank you.
What a lovely video. I have a lot of video catching up to do. Your videos have and always be so wonderful to watch.
I agree with you about Aslan having a soul! I’m glad you have such a good friend with you. And she has such a good friend with her.
You spend time and effort providing we your viewers with outstanding entertainment and in return some feel the need to give you elocution lessons. That would urinate me off big time. Thanks CHG !
Cottage pie variations sounds like my goulash - every time I fix goulash my family knows it will be slightly different than the last time 😄 Thanks for this glance into English home cooking - Aslan version!
OMG! That Plate looks so simple and delicious! Simple, short and sweet! Thank you Kevin! God bless!
Great to see you today. 🎉
All narrow boats have a sole and heart ❤️ indeed,the cottage pie looks good well done
Outstanding!! Your dinners are very delicious in the presentation. And I suppose when eaten. 😍🤟
Darn rights Aslan is a lady!!!!! And that Custom Cottage Pie looks amazing! Stay warm!
I always like your making a meal episodes. We have a similar dish here in southeastern Pennsylvania, USA called Shepherds Pie. Also a hearty meal that hits the spot in the winter months. Thanks Kevin!
Just saw your comment. I wrote about shepherds pie in the states potatoes and meat all mixed together. I prefer the potatoes on top. I read too British folks use lamb and call that shepherds pie. *clever* them.
The shepherds pie I referenced also has the potatoes mashed, and on top as Kevin made in this episode. Thanks for the comment!
Technically, Shepherds Pie is made with lamb, Cottage Pie is made with ground meat other than lamb.
Aslan respect! You got it.💖
You are absolutely correct about the soul of a boat! If you listen closely they do speak to us. We are going to try your recipe!
Cheers,
Bob & Jill
Enjoying this journey with you and having recently taken over most of the cooking in our house I've found your style of cooking enjoyable interesting inspirational relaxing ,I feel I can taste the food through the screen lol . Amazing lol thanks Keith.
personification is key! 👍thanks for the killer recipe 😋
Great to see another update from you Kevin, we’re all looking forward to the much anticipated season 9.
We call that shepherd's pal.
Hi Kevin 👋 just us 2 saying hi 👋 great video update as always 👍 I like winter for all my wife home made cooking 👋 keep safe say well say warm 👍den and sue 👍👍👍🚌🚌🚌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Happy Birthday, Kevin! I enjoy keeping up with your adventures and happily await every video. Keep chugging along and take care. :^D

branston pickle with cottage pie - oh yeah!
Ooh that sounds like a very tasty combo. 🙂
Add a slice or two of French bread with butter to that meal! 😁👍🏼
the cottage pie was most appetizing in appearance -- hope you have better weather soon, Kevin!!!
Preach!! Bravo!!
Loved the cooking lesson. It was great seeing you on TH-cam. Watching your videos is like having a visit from a friend. You have kept both me and my wife sane during insane times. Always love people reaction to see me wear your pork pie t-shirt. Your Oregon friends.
Been watching all your vlogs, love it. Look forward to season 9.
Ummm Good! And I'm hungry. Some boats seem to develop a soul, If you've cruised 'em, had adventures aboard that are good or bad, but got through; while they kept you whole, then the boat develops a soul. Just touching the wheel or tiller you can feel it. Looking forward to season 9!
Tidy 👍
Since you sprinkled that OXO cube on your cheese on toast when you were first aboard Aslan I have been buying OXO cubes. They make food so tasty I would class them as a recreational drug.
Too much salt.
@@philipjones9458 I like salt.
Simple but brilliant. Love it. Good job, you! People, please consider supporting Kevin through a small (or not so small) PayPal contribution.
I think your cottage pie (our shepherds pie) will be on our menu tonight. It's a nippy 38f here in Central Texas. As for Asland your description of Her and having a soul is exactly how I've always thought as well. Glad to see you and wish you Godspeed and safe travels. Tx 🇺🇲 🤗
More cooking videos! Love them!
Thanks for sharing your fine recipe I will definitely need to try this. My boat (Allegro) has a soul too and she is a fine companion.
A crusty old instructor pilot explained to me that we refer to any vehicle ( in this instance s helicopter) as she because only a female can carry living beings inside her body. He was of course excluding parasites from the discussion. I have used that explanation ever since.
You're making me hungry Kev. I love cottage pie.......off to the kitchen.
My mouth was watering!
I am going to try that recipe! Thank you!
Never thought of using toms before, thank you ,
It looks so warm and cozy inside aslan .
Great video. Made me hungry.
Hi Kevin, thanks for yet another great episode! You have a gift for making cooking seem less intimidating for those of us who are culinarily challenged. And none of us loyal viewers notice or care whether you're using proper grammar. Please don't change the way you talk!
True boater!
Yaaaay!!! Excellent job as usual!! Thanks Kevin! The infamous oxo (don’t know if I spelled it right) cube is back!!!
Ps…absolutely objects have a soul, a personality. I do the same thing with my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. Some days she’s great, other days she get a little on the grumpy side. Waxing poetic but true nonetheless.
Pps..new T-shirt. “That’ll warm the cockles.”
We were so thrilled to see a new cooking video! Your recipes are delicious and easy and we love to follow along. Can’t wait to try this one later this week. Cheers Kevin. Keep ‘em coming!
