The Sullivans was set during WW2 and the show actually lasted longer than the war. I remember the shiphams spread. Sitting in a wet shelter at the seaside with the beef sandwiches. Happy memories.
Grace Sullivan not the "big sky" one but the ...QUEEN OF QUALITY SEASON...one that could ..Waltz a Matilda 2....Like only a Ex ...ST GLORIANA GIRLS COLLEGE...Old girl can ...OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY ST GLORIANA....bless them
I think I’m addicted to watching these videos I’ve spent the last 3 days watching nearly all of your videos 😂 another brilliant video Gareth thank you mate ❤
The Sullivans and pebble mill at one that's a blast from the past , just watch the tv when I bunked off school in the afternoon and play on the Commodore 64 happy days never once got caught out
How can they both call themselves Beef Paste when there’s pretty much the same amount of chicken as beef? I’d definitely go for the Morrisons one out of the two.. Good work Gaz.
Princess make both in the same factory. The problem is that princes is only a name that buys in its products. And has its name put on the product like corned beef. Most comes from Brazil and a paper wrapping put on it . Next ti.e you In morrisons or any supermarket pick up all the cans of corned beef look at bottom of tin see it's all the same manufacture see which is the cheapest but all from the same place??? Brazil and note the package no as well as other markings hope you find this a money save for you.
@@michelles2299 Quite right! I always throw a few tins of Lidl sardines in my weekly shopping basket. It is still one of the very few healthy meals at an affordable price!
In my batchelor days I would often buy a tin of Princes Stewed Steak, a giant Yorkie Pud and get some garden peas. I'd heat up the stewed steak and pud and add the peas for a cheap quick meal. Gave up on this when the tin of "Stewed Steak" went well being well over 50% fat and gristle, shame, cutting corners doesn't save you money, it loses you customers, shameful. Just like the Fray Bentos pies, consigned to memory ...and NO! Ain't paying £3 for the vain promise that the FB pie has returned, not that gullible.
I got a really bad dose of food poisoning from a jar of one of these meat pastes when I was a teenager. Not the fault of the manufacturer as it had been open in the fridge for more than 3 days. Probably around 5-6 days. My mum's fault, bless her. It was one of the worse cases of gastro enteritis the hospital had seen and initially thought it was a rupturing appendix. I actually almost died and was flat on my back in agony for nearly 3 weeks on a drip, so be very careful with these products.....
I've had the pastes in the fridge far longer than that and completely fine loads off times.. that doesn't sound right too me mate are you sure it wasn't from a cock up at the factory lol...weeks I've used them after and fine same with cooked meats n ham I never eat by sell by date must have a iron stomach lol
I remember when I was a kid back in the 50’s and 60’s when we used to have our tea meal in the garden in the summer. There were always plenty of salmon paste and cucumber sandwiches on offer and I loved them ❤️❤️. I can’t be sure of the exact brand 🤔🤔 I think it was something like Shipams or Shipmans. I also loved liver sausage sarnes. I haven’t had paste sandwiches for years. This video has convinced me to buy a jar tonight. Keep them coming Mr G 👍🏻👍🏻.
Hey Gaz love the comparison vids most of all your vids! Would love tho see a chicken goujon/nugget comparison or or some more M&S products maybe best chicken and stuffing contest! Great work mate 👍
You really pushed the boat out on this review 😁. Maybe you can spread these on the Roy's rolls that you got from the co-op.😂. To be honest I don't mind salmon paste and cucumber cracked black pepper with cream cheese on granary wholemeal bread 👍
Wow, the Sullivans and pebblemill at 1. That's a blast from the past! I remember I didn't like lunchtime at school, so all I would eat was either jam or paste sandwiches ❤
There was an episode of Poirot where he tastes 2 jars of Paste, one was sardines and the other crab. He pulls a face and said it was bad enough the 1st time. I too, grew up on these pastes and i still like the fish pastes although, not the meat ones.
@@countesscable You can still get salmon paste and crab paste as well as beef and chicken. Its disgusting stuff but, there must still be a market for it otherwise they woundn`t make it.
@@andyhughes5885 yes, my Husband likes salmon paste and cucumber sandwiches made with bog standard sliced white bread. I think it’s now an age thing as my generation had these in school lunches and picnics. I don’t think that younger people would eat it!
Another great review Gaz , yep had these in 60s mainly sunday tea time as mum didnt cook after a roast , only ever used have chicken one and yep still do today got 2 x pots in fridge , gone try beef now , agree its breakfast dinner tea .
When having our break times at work the topic of conversation always revolved around the question ‘what have you got on your sandwiches’? Regardless of what particular brand or flavour of potted meat the stock answer was ‘I’ve got potted dog on mine’. Everyone who had potted meat said it was potted dog.
Used to love a bit of Salmon, sardine or crab paste spread on warm toast. Gone off the chicken a bit now due to finding gritty bits in it. Thanks for another good upload.
The GB stickers on the bottles are both the same as you say. That number can only apply to one plant. It's about traceability. This means that both these producta are made under the same roof!
This is going on my piece’s at work this week. What a blast from the past! Sardines or Pilchards in tomato sauce (as I have read above) is also a winning brunch on toast with white pepper 👌
Thanks for another top review Gareth. I'm a fellow Cumbrian (Kendal) and a similar age. I remember having all the meat paste spreads that you mentioned as a kid. I'm not tempted now.
Still have these now, mainly Aldi/Asda own brands. A couple of part baked rolls done in the air fryer (3 minutes) and a nice heaping in each with some of the Heinz Gravy Mayo, which I picked up at B&M for 50p (surprisingly goes really well with the beef paste)
Goodness that takes me back,my dads packed lunch , I do buy the odd jar of salmon paste and have it on toast but I don’t like any of the other ones and I always get princes, thanks for that bringing back old memories❤
Paste butties take my back to Primary School in the late 70s/early 80s - Beef and salmon ones were (and still are) my 2 faves, especially with best butter rather than margarine. I remember The Sullivan's and if I was off school there was Crown Court in the afternoon. Regarding old lunchtime kids tv shows Pipkins was a fave of mine and cartoons like Bod, Roobarb and Mr Benn. Happy days Gaz.
It’s a trip down memory lane Gareth, especially when you mentioned the Sullivans. I use to go round my nans and have my lunch crab paste or salmon paste sandwiches or even on toast and she’d have the Sullivans on. There was the one with the flying vets too. Can’t remember the name of that one. Never had beef paste though. Great vid.
Gareth,thanks for taking us on a stroll down memory lane ❤😊 Meat or Fish Paste😊Super sarnies,made with good old fashioned white bread,thick sliced. Butter. Lunch or picnic. Tea time treat on toast😊Grand😅.A family memory I'll share. My late dad,a lorry driver, retired and found time hanging on his hands. Mum had a cat,which he never gave a lot of time to. Mum had been shopping, came back found him in the frontroom feeding her cat salmon paste from the jar using a finger 🖕 😅😅. Silly bu***r❤. That's over 55yrs ago. Still brings a tear to my eye 😢but a happy one. Thanks mate
Great review Gaz unlucky with that bit off bone that would have stopped me straight away but we always but the the cheap ones because we don’t eat the packaging plus the number gives it away made in the same factory just a different recipe princess has added calcium from the bone 🤣 keep up with the great reviews as always 👏👏👍👍
Going to say I haven't had paste spread since I was a kid. I remember not being a great fan but do remember them tasting a bit gritty which is interesting the most expensive ones still do. Now I tend to stick to ham and cheese. But t6he price comparison is really interesting.
Brings me back, used to live off those sandwiches as a kid, but I much preferred Shippam's Chicken and Ham paste to Princes. On a nice crusty white grinder bread, butter and paste, lovely 😁👌
Loved that review. Brought back childhood memories for me too! Y favourites were beef and tomato and also sardine paste. Going to try them again. I do agree about homebrand etc too
My mother in law in 1983 introduced me to The Sullivans & Sons & Daughters , the day was'nt the same staying down in Kent on hols if we did'nt sit down with a cup of tea and sandwich & cake to watch these two programmes from Australia .
Years ago I worked at a frozen fish packing company. Half way through a run we would stop and change the packing labels. We did all the main brands including the cheaper versions and all with the same fish. Morrisons used to do an ace crab pate not their own some other companies, I do wish they would bring that back.
Damn you’ve made me hungry! Off to make a Nduja sandwich (ingredients 84% pork no other meats) (I’d never heard of it before your vid now I’m addicted!)
Even now i still like a buttered paste sandwich for my supper. The shops where i live in town in Edinburgh either have it or not so when i get big shop delivered i get some then i get the cheaper one as there's not much difference like you said you pay for the name thanks for sharing ❤
I remember my mother buying Shippams beef, chicken paste, and my fav was their crab paste. Wouldn't be a school packed lunch without your paste sandwiches would it. Good review bud. All the best.
As you can probably tell Gareth I'm going through a load of your back catalogues haha, laid up and just going through my favourite TH-camrs! Anyway nothing wrong with a bit of paste add some tomatoes, cucumber and onion and it's a pretty decent sarnie. I have a memory of a Xmas party at primary school where there was salmon paste on a finger roll, loved it ever since (I'm 55 now)
Oh god! I remember paste sandwiches, and The Sullivans! I also remember "Sons and Daughters," which I used to hate, but I liked the theme song! I remember the opening credits were all brown and blurry and would swirl into focus! Hahahahahaa! Loved the 80s!
The Sullivans, wow that tricked a flash back to my childhood. Remember my mum watching it and me and my two brothers would be playing (more likely fighting) with it in the background. And meat paste sandwiches were defiantly on the menu at that time.
That's so funny Gareth,here in Ayr we used to say dinner and tea but my 8 year old Granddaughter is always correcting me and saying ''It's lunch Papa not dinner'' Like you I was brought up with meat paste sandwiches,sometimes salmon or chicken paste,we said it was the poor man's pate 😂as it was nice on a bit of toast ,It was always the cheap brand we bought as Princes was a wee bit dearer,,I haven't had a meat paste sandwich since I retired 7 years ago,another enjoyable video big pal,I watched your short the other day with the Lorne sausage,you needed to change the white pudding for black and a tattie scone , we're not that big on white pudding here on the West Coast of Scotland it's never included in a Big Breakfast more black pudding instead
I was addicted to Sutherlands Beef paste as a kid in the late 70’s. Haven’t had it for decades. Don’t know what it’s like now?Great vlog Gareth.👍 Strangely enough like you say. Watching the Sullivan’s with my Nan eating Sutherlands paste.😁
Hi Gareth, you highlighted a big issue for me, finding that piece of bone. Any food, be it meat paste, a pie of a piece of fish, if I find any bone I simply cannot continue eating. It doesn’t matter if it tastes fantastic, it does not matter if it is in the first bite or half way through, I simply cannot eat anymore. This is why all of the meat I use in my company’s food production is minutely inspected for bone, gristle, skin and other bits I would not want to find personally. It takes considerable effort and expense but to my mind is worth every penny. Keep up the good work, I look forward to every review!
Always have a couple of these pastes in my cupboard. Tend to buy the own brand ones. I find them tastier than the well known brands. Great video gareth. Karl.
When I was in the U acquired the taste of fish finger sandwiches, but the fish fingers I got were Waitrose own big ones, much more fish than batter unlike the cheap ones. Actually Waitrose had (have) their essential range which were no different to the brand names, i.e. baked beans, porrage, frozen peas and spinach etc. only cheaper. I soon found other which stores to go for certain items.
I always used to have sardine & tomato and chicken paste in school. I still sometimes buy sardine & tomato paste when we do the shopping. People sat near me at school used to hate the smell.
Absolutely M&S is the best. It is well worth the difference in price. The only one I have in my cupboard at present is the salmon one and it is 90% salmon, 6% butter. I bet no other brands will beat that.
Nice review, have been eating fish paste sandwich's since i was kid .my fav used to be salmon and shrimp, which they dont seem to do now ,the salmon paste is really nice .I just buy the cheapest ones ,which i find are still very good .
We also had the spread in sandwiches in the fifties/sixties and the Shipham factory wasn’t far from my school in Chichester, the smell around that area was enough to put anyone off eating it
Thanks, I'll avoid the Morrisons one for sure. Tried the Princes and liked that. My favourite is Shippams. Not easy to get now though. Always out of stock in Tesco's :(
Sutherlands spread was our one my little brother grew up on the beef one I dont mind the chicken one either. Has to be butter on the bread I like it now & on fresh bread from a real bakers. Is your tripod broken I got a bit seasick. No youre not the BBC but we love you for it. Keep up the good work
Hi, i noticed you tried Aldi cheese wraps, well the cheese, leek & spinach pastry puffs are way better, superior cheese, we love your channel good stuff❤
Ha ha i had Princes sardine and tomato with cucumber for lunch today . Good comparison Gaz. Good work. Like you said think what you can save buying own brands. Mega.👍😊
The cost of living crisis is hitting hard. The cheaper brands are more favorable these days. I remember beef paste from my days of youth. But it was anchovy paste that was my favourite right up till a few years ago. Then the recipe was changed and it's was bloody awful. Now I just stick to pate and my favourite Liverwurst. Nice comparison review. Cheers Gareth 👍🤤😀
I sometimes grab a couple of salmon one's out of aldi, just incase I need to raid the fridge, but I do enjoy the odd salmon paste sandwich nice n oily aswell 😊
hi gareth hope you are well. i bought the princes beef paste when on prom at morrisons.i was not impressed with the paste.i think if you want beef paste much better from the local butcher.the old adage is true you get what you pay for.the dearest ids always the cheapest in the long run.have a great week i have been busy on catch up on your reviews thanks gareth😅😅
My mum used to put that shit on my butties for school and I swore I would never eat it again, it’s not crossed my lips in 50 years since and never will again, your a brave man lol
I was surprised to see pastes were still around,I remember eating fish paste,and crab paste,I don’t remember eating meat ones in the late1940s,and1950s when I was growing up.I remember liking them.
There are only limited number of producers for any product but all you need to do is research the code and you can find which supermarkets use the same supplier
Last time I had paste sarnies was 45 years ago when me mum made 'em for me school lunch. She smeared it as thin as the crack in me arse. Not eating it again any time soon. Great video.
I absolutely love this video definitely brought back memories, Quick question, am I allowed to send you surströmming the worlds smelliest fish to review. I have placed one order it is coming from Switzerland. Apparently Swedish eat it. And it’s very famous on TikTok and TH-cam. Please let me know. Would love to see you do this with your brother again. David
I suspect that many of the Branded products possibly give a slight discount to the supermarkets if their products are at eye level & or middle shelfs in the isles
My favourite is Shippams Crab paste which used to contain 70% crab. But nobody seems to stock it any more. Everybody sells Princes. Just checked and simple reason is Princes own Shippams. Seems they still produce some products with Shippams brand.
Still like paste butties now and again what a blast from the past sullivans also remember paint along with nancy and kreskin lol moody and peg later with crown court if i was off school ill.
I remember the Sullivans..I think that I was around 19 then when watching it...I noticed that u did not have butter on your bread with the paste. Mum always put butter on with the paste..We did not have this on a Sunday as a sunday tea as others stated here. After our Sunday roast for tea we would have either egg on thick sliced buttered toast..Sardines on toast or pilchards on toast. Mum would have a jar in the cupboard of beef or chicken paste,but that was there just for a snack on a thick slice of bread or toast both with butter..Dad would have paste on jacob cream crackers with butter on. I like sliced tomatoes with the paste in a sandwich also.
It must be 75 years since I ate any meat paste, it will be another 20 years before I eat it again.
Love the optimism, 586 !!
It concerns me what is in these pastes. I just couldn't eat .
🤣🥰🤣🤣
Is that 95 years in all.? 😮
Yes just get some decent patè , or make your own. Paste butties went to the birds on the way home as a kid ! Bloody horrible.
The Sullivans was set during WW2 and the show actually lasted longer than the war. I remember the shiphams spread. Sitting in a wet shelter at the seaside with the beef sandwiches. Happy memories.
Loved the Sullivan
@@kerrywills8715 Me too
yes we had that and with beef dipping sandwiches and a apple.🙂
Good Aussie shows mentioned here...Young Doctors, Sullivan's, Flying Dr, Country Practice and the New Neighbors and Home and away......great shows.

I always go for sardine and tomato paste... but it seems very odd that a tin of whole sardines is cheaper than a little jar of paste! 🤔
Get the tin, all day long, bogof. IMO.
Buy a tin of sardines in tomato sauce, mix it all up to a paste and spread it on your toast or bread!
More processing involved hence the extra cost I would go for tinned much healthier and around 22 grams of protein in a tin of sardines

Brings me back, used to live off those sandwiches as a kid, but I much preferred Shippam's Chicken and Ham paste to Princes. On a nice crusty white grinder bread, butter and paste, lovely 😁👌
Shiphams is good. They've been going a long, long time and their little jars turn up in Victorian dumps.
What's grinder bread?
@@eadweard. I know a grinder sandwich is basically a sub with cold fillings, It comes from America and you don't hear the term that often in UK..

Yes will of been about that time Carol.
IAM going back to 1965 as a child there used to be a old corner shop potted meat on a slab they used to cut off a quarter no fridges then
Salmon, sardine and tomato and crab paste are lovely imo.
Salmon paste is spot on
Do you even do your own stunts too 😂🤣😂
Love watching your reviews buddy
🤣
Omg this takes me back , i used to eat loads of this stuff . Shippams was the bramd name back then . Could taste it as you were eating it .
Your right it always takes me back to the school days fond memories mate

Thanks for a long gone memory. These were a family staple. I remember that discolouration on the top of the paste when opening. Could not eat it now.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm a saddo, I love the Asda chicken paste, it's only about 30p a bottle as well, it's sooo much nicer than other pastes I've tried :)
Used to love it when i was a kid, didnt even lnow u could still get them, loved toast toppers too not seen them either
It was Shiphams in our house, the salmon was Princes. Great vid again.
You're welcome Mike
Even now i still like a buttered paste sandwich for my supper. The shops where i live in town in Edinburgh either have it or not so when i get big shop delivered i get some then i get the cheaper one as there's not much difference like you said you pay for the name thanks for sharing ❤
You're welcome 😊
I remember my mother buying Shippams beef, chicken paste, and my fav was their crab paste. Wouldn't be a school packed lunch without your paste sandwiches would it. Good review bud. All the best.
Yes I've not seen that paste before. Will look out for it mate.
As you can probably tell Gareth I'm going through a load of your back catalogues haha, laid up and just going through my favourite TH-camrs! Anyway nothing wrong with a bit of paste add some tomatoes, cucumber and onion and it's a pretty decent sarnie. I have a memory of a Xmas party at primary school where there was salmon paste on a finger roll, loved it ever since (I'm 55 now)
Glad you like them!
I'm still partial to a paste sandwich, as you said it's a taste from my childhood. Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
You are so welcome!
Oh god! I remember paste sandwiches, and The Sullivans! I also remember "Sons and Daughters," which I used to hate, but I liked the theme song! I remember the opening credits were all brown and blurry and would swirl into focus! Hahahahahaa! Loved the 80s!
Thank you very much for the video!
You are welcome!
The Sullivans, wow that tricked a flash back to my childhood. Remember my mum watching it and me and my two brothers would be playing (more likely fighting) with it in the background. And meat paste sandwiches were defiantly on the menu at that time.
That's so funny Gareth,here in Ayr we used to say dinner and tea but my 8 year old Granddaughter is always correcting me and saying ''It's lunch Papa not dinner'' Like you I was brought up with meat paste sandwiches,sometimes salmon or chicken paste,we said it was the poor man's pate 😂as it was nice on a bit of toast ,It was always the cheap brand we bought as Princes was a wee bit dearer,,I haven't had a meat paste sandwich since I retired 7 years ago,another enjoyable video big pal,I watched your short the other day with the Lorne sausage,you needed to change the white pudding for black and a tattie scone , we're not that big on white pudding here on the West Coast of Scotland it's never included in a Big Breakfast more black pudding instead
Thank you, you're welcome 😊
I think I’ll try this as it’s years since I have used them
I was addicted to Sutherlands Beef paste as a kid in the late 70’s. Haven’t had it for decades. Don’t know what it’s like now?Great vlog Gareth.👍 Strangely enough like you say. Watching the Sullivan’s with my Nan eating Sutherlands paste.😁
Donald is very proud of his Beefpaste so I hear 🤣

@@suesmith3744 I’ve heard that Kiefer has been chomping at the bit for the recipe. But Donald won’t cave lol.
the Sullivans.
Hi Gareth, you highlighted a big issue for me, finding that piece of bone. Any food, be it meat paste, a pie of a piece of fish, if I find any bone I simply cannot continue eating. It doesn’t matter if it tastes fantastic, it does not matter if it is in the first bite or half way through, I simply cannot eat anymore. This is why all of the meat I use in my company’s food production is minutely inspected for bone, gristle, skin and other bits I would not want to find personally. It takes considerable effort and expense but to my mind is worth every penny. Keep up the good work, I look forward to every review!
Yes it happens from time to time.
Always have a couple of these pastes in my cupboard. Tend to buy the own brand ones. I find them tastier than the well known brands. Great video gareth. Karl.
You're welcome
I sometimes have the Sainsbury's equivalent in a sandwich with radish and spring onion on the side
Thankyou for sharing.
My pleasure
When I was in the U acquired the taste of fish finger sandwiches, but the fish fingers I got were Waitrose own big ones, much more fish than batter unlike the cheap ones. Actually Waitrose had (have) their essential range which were no different to the brand names, i.e. baked beans, porrage, frozen peas and spinach etc. only cheaper. I soon found other which stores to go for certain items.
I think an interesting addition to your - as always - excellent comparison would be to find out which animal the bone came from....
I always used to have sardine & tomato and chicken paste in school. I still sometimes buy sardine & tomato paste when we do the shopping. People sat near me at school used to hate the smell.
Nothing wrong with getting pasted 😂👍
All a matter of taste but i prefer the taste of Morrisons to Princes. Best of all though is Marks and Spencers IMO.
Absolutely M&S is the best. It is well worth the difference in price. The only one I have in my cupboard at present is the salmon one and it is 90% salmon, 6% butter. I bet no other brands will beat that.
Nice review, have been eating fish paste sandwich's since i was kid .my fav used to be salmon and shrimp, which they dont seem to do now ,the salmon paste is really nice .I just buy the cheapest ones ,which i find are still very good .
Cheers Lee
We also had the spread in sandwiches in the fifties/sixties and the Shipham factory wasn’t far from my school in Chichester, the smell around that area was enough to put anyone off eating it
Thanks, I'll avoid the Morrisons one for sure. Tried the Princes and liked that. My favourite is Shippams. Not easy to get now though. Always out of stock in Tesco's :(
Sutherlands spread was our one my little brother grew up on the beef one I dont mind the chicken one either. Has to be butter on the bread I like it now & on fresh bread from a real bakers. Is your tripod broken I got a bit seasick. No youre not the BBC but we love you for it. Keep up the good work
You're welcome
Hi, i noticed you tried Aldi cheese wraps, well the cheese, leek & spinach pastry puffs are way better, superior cheese, we love your channel good stuff❤
Ha ha i had Princes sardine and tomato with cucumber for lunch today . Good comparison Gaz. Good work.
Like you said think what you
can save buying own brands. Mega.👍😊
Thanks 👍
The cost of living crisis is hitting hard.
The cheaper brands are more favorable these days.
I remember beef paste from my days of youth. But it was anchovy paste that was my favourite right up till a few years ago.
Then the recipe was changed and it's was bloody awful.
Now I just stick to pate and my favourite Liverwurst.
Nice comparison review.
Cheers Gareth 👍🤤😀
Cheers John, yes still can't beat a paste sarnie lol, all the best 👍
Brilliant video. My husband likes paste sandwiches, i used to like the salmon one when i was a kid, i don't like it now. They do make a cheap sandwich
I used to,do the same !!! Come home lunchtimes , eat my sandwiches whilst watching the Sullivans!!
I sometimes grab a couple of salmon one's out of aldi, just incase I need to raid the fridge, but I do enjoy the odd salmon paste sandwich nice n oily aswell 😊
hi gareth hope you are well. i bought the princes beef paste when on prom at morrisons.i was not impressed with the paste.i think if you want beef paste much better from the local butcher.the old adage is true you get what you pay for.the dearest ids always the cheapest in the long run.have a great week i have been busy on catch up on your reviews thanks gareth😅😅
Gave your age away there,with the Sullivan's mention I went home for dinner and always watched it,gday kitty👍
Haha yes
Many, many years ago they used to make a liver and bacon paste. I loved it when I was a kid. Not seen it for years though.
I remember that too John l loved it haven't seen it in years ❤
If it's pork liver and bacon, then it's Braunschweiger. I get that all the time. Damn fine with mustard.
@@SimonAgree-sb1ol hi Simon I think that is an actual sausage, this was a paste in the same range as the others
My mum used to put that shit on my butties for school and I swore I would never eat it again, it’s not crossed my lips in 50 years since and never will again, your a brave man lol
I was surprised to see pastes were still around,I remember eating fish paste,and crab paste,I don’t remember eating meat ones in the late1940s,and1950s when I was growing up.I remember liking them.
The way things are going people will be eating dripping and any offal they can get hold of/afford like the War years.
@@sparsh415 offal is very good for you
There are only limited number of producers for any product but all you need to do is research the code and you can find which supermarkets use the same supplier
Last time I had paste sarnies was 45 years ago when me mum made 'em for me school lunch. She smeared it as thin as the crack in me arse. Not eating it again any time soon. Great video.
You're welcome
I absolutely love this video definitely brought back memories,
Quick question, am I allowed to send you surströmming the worlds smelliest fish to review. I have placed one order it is coming from Switzerland. Apparently Swedish eat it. And it’s very famous on TikTok and TH-cam.
Please let me know. Would love to see you do this with your brother again.
David
Yeah remember and open it outside in a bucket of water ;)
Cheers David
I suspect that many of the Branded products possibly give a slight discount to the supermarkets if their products are at eye level & or middle shelfs in the isles
My favourite is Shippams Crab paste which used to contain 70% crab. But nobody seems to stock it any more. Everybody sells Princes. Just checked and simple reason is Princes own Shippams. Seems they still produce some products with Shippams brand.
Thanks for the info. Asda used to do shippams. I always got the beef one.
Still like paste butties now and again what a blast from the past sullivans also remember paint along with nancy and kreskin lol moody and peg later with crown court if i was off school ill.
Wow that takes me well back aswell gazza I haven't eaten them pastes in donkeys years mate I used to have lemon curd sarnies to did you😂
Cheers Neil
I remember the Sullivans..I think that I was around 19 then when watching it...I noticed that u did not have butter on your bread with the paste. Mum always put butter on with the paste..We did not have this on a Sunday as a sunday tea as others stated here. After our Sunday roast for tea we would have either egg on thick sliced buttered toast..Sardines on toast or pilchards on toast. Mum would have a jar in the cupboard of beef or chicken paste,but that was there just for a snack on a thick slice of bread or toast both with butter..Dad would have paste on jacob cream crackers with butter on. I like sliced tomatoes with the paste in a sandwich also.
Cheers Derry
The biggest hike in prices has been for Peanut Butter, that would be another comparison test, as you munch your packet of iced jems.
Yes I've not done that one I don't think.
