From my recollection, Mr. Shrimp has expressed dislike for cucumber and “drinks with blobs” in them; I am unsure about what else he dislikes, as either he has not mentioned others or they have slipped my mind.

25:18 Sweet corn is quite common to be put in desserts here in Brazil. There is a dessert called "curau" which is somewhat of a mix of your typical "european pudding" and corn. Its somewhat like a corn pudding but not quite. There is also like a "cake", but also not quite, called "pamonha", but there is a savory version of it. And also we have lots of corn cakes too. There is also a dessert called "canjica" which is corn cooked in a milky mixture, ussualy with cinammon on on top, but it uses a different kind of corn. I was surprised that you were afraid that corn would not work in desserts.

My best advice is that you learn how to cook as in learning how to taste the food so you can identify what is missing. When you can tell whether it's acidity, sweetness or something else that's missing you can make even the simplest - and cheapest - food taste great. Then find your "cheats". Some of mine are worcestershire sauce for adding depth of flavour, plain vinegar for acidity and regular old caster sugar for sweetness - student tip: if you find that you prefer the more caramelly flavour of cane sugar knick the packets people leave behind at coffee shops. Your using it the same way you would use any other spice so you only need a little. Finally if you have a little room in a freezer caramelize a big bag of onions. They cook down quite a bit. Then freeze them in roughly 2 tbsp lumps. They will add tons of flavour to a lot of dishes. A lump of onion, a tin of chopped tomatoes, a grated carrot and some oregano, salt and pepper you've got a decent tomato sauce for your pasta that'll leave your mate's ketchup in the dust.

Get a wok. You can just chuck a bunch of things into it, with a little oil, cook it quickly and it'll turn out surprisingly good. You can even chuck in your cooked instant noodles but add a bit of cabbage, pepper, grated carrot etc. and you have a stir-fry. Also spices and seasoning are very important to keep things interesting. Stuff like cumin, soy sauce, chilli, lime juice mean you can use basically the same ingredients but have it taste totally different based on the seasoning.

I'm not sure what to call it) off a bit to make them easier to roll up.

I think the sweet corn dessert just needed condensed milk - it has such an asian vibe sort of korean+vietnamese+thai. Missing in your late night dolma - that cold, but almost creamy rice texture. Since it was not cooked in oil, and no lemon - the cold mouthfeel must have been way off. This was rice-y and bacon-y nut pretty successful for such a small budget. I don't think I could do that in the US. We are tempted to do a limited grocery challenge sometime. Great series

17:42 Just a heads up, here in Central Europe, Hungary, in my county we don't use oven, baking method. We are cooking them in a pot with leaves at the bottom (it prevents burning your rolls and sticking it to the bottom), after your rolls, more leaves at the top (prevents the top layer to fall apart), adding water and tomato pure. So I approve your cooking method, also we serving it with sour cream on the top (regarding to that, a long debate is out there, someone likes without it, someone add a little, others a lot, because it can change texture and flavour).

Hi Mike - corn in dessert. In Thailand we make a coconut ice cream (street food) with sweetcorn distributed liberally throughout. It's delicious and the sweetcorn can go a bit squeaky on your teeth ( a la grilled halloumi) at times. Can I give you a tip for cooling rice to cook the next day in a stir fry? Separate it with the back of a big spoon (or rice paddle if you have such a thing) about 10-15 minutes after cooking. Then separate it again just before refrigeration. It seems to make it much easier to avoid clumps when it's time to fry because even tiny clumps will make a soggy stir-fry

That sounds very like the way Irish cook. My Irish Gran and mother-in-law always boil bacon and cabbage together, and the cabbage water is drunk in a mug with a sprinkle of pepper. Its delicious! This is also done with the water of boiled dried peas (not sure if dried green peas are a a Brit/Irish thing), and the water from cauliflower made into a thick sauce with butter and flour.

I've seen sweet corn ice cream. I would suspect it is excellent. Can't go wrong with rice and bacon, this was a great challenge video once again.

I love these challenges. It's fun, interesting and inspirational to see what you're able to buy and what dishes and meals you come up with. I love when you pay your pup her "tax".

Massive tip - cabbage rolls are not worth the effort. They're goddamn delicious, but if you're not hosting a dinner party there is absolutely no reason to actually make the rolls. You can much much much more easily get 100% of the way to the flavour, and at least 90-95% of the way to the texture by just thoughtfully constructing a casserole. The only real benefits to the actual rolls are presentation and the ability to pick them up. It is a rule for me now that I very heavily consider whether stuffing or filling anything provides any benefit beyond just cooking all the ingredients in a pot. And usually the answer is "maybe minor benefits, and mostly to plating". Because it is nigh-universal that, unless you're making large stuffed things (peppers, etc), the level of effort to stuff a bunch of small items is, to me, egregious in regards to the effort:reward ratio.

I can't wait for the summertime foraging.

You should look and see if there is a local foraging club around. Learning to glean food from the wild might come in handy someday. I've been learning from my aunt and from camp/girl scouts way way back in in my cave girl days 😅 There are usually whole section in the library too. Just do a quick Google on Ewell gibbons and see if you can find any if his books on wild foraging. Sorry for typos have a curious kitten in my lap help me type lol

That's not true. There's a video here on KZread: "can you survive on foraging alone?", and it turns out you can't, sadly

It would be nice, but it's impossible. Still, that shouldn't stop us from foraging 😊

That dessert could be a whole other remake video - with honey and maybe even a hint of lavender flavor. Sweet corn pudding is a dish from the southern US that borders on dessert/side dish, and is more of a souflee. There is also Indian (Native American) Corn Pudding. We have a rabbit hole of puddings here in the US too, just not as much as in the UK 😃🌽

When my mother made chicken curry, it was a good night. Shredded chicken stewed in a spicy homemade sauce on basmati rice. We would set the table with toppings including: mandarin oranges, bacon, raisins, peanuts, and cashews, along with occasional additions. You'd smell it cooking from a half mile away and come back home.

I absolutely love waking up to a lazy Saturday and seeing this wholesome content the moment I open up KZread. Keep ‘em coming Shrimp ❤

The joke about the cooking bacon is giving me intrusive thoughts about bacon sashimi

An Asda with an upstairs?! Never have I seen such lavishness.

You close with the importance of happiness; we do small things that please us: those things exist in their own right. An example might be the wooden spoon you stir the rampant random food with----- it's not made by a factory, probably made by Hand of Shrimp, and that makes me happy.

Che Bap and Marjarete are Asian and Caribbean corn puddings. I have also seen a sweet corn panna cotta. There are so many possibilities with sweet corn.

I love Panna cotta! A sweetcorn flavoured one sounds delicious ❤

That looks like a poorly stocked Asda

Curry in the 1970s - you remind me of what a partner I once had called "round curry". :3

You should do a campfire cooking video! Where you buy ingredients and cook over an open flame and also make bread with a Dutch oven! Keep up the great work Mr Shrimp!!!

the prices are always crazy to me in America, a can of chopped tomatoes there is 39p (about 50 cents usd) where as a can of chopped tomatoes here is 1.25$ up to 1.75$... its just wild to see how strong the pound sterling is comparatively, or maybe how much grocers rip us off on shipping fees here since our nations larger physically.

It might be due to the lack of taxes for many foods in the UK (things like alcohol do). You guys have much cheaper fuel prices though.

Fresh banana sliced on top of a curry is lovely.

just a tip - always buy whole tinned tomatoes and smash them - these are always the better quality tomamtoes and usually the same price - you're welcome !

Love these videos. Enjoy seeing your creative side coming out, please never stop

The irony of you picking out the individual vegetables from a mixed bag made me smile.🙂

Those brothers have really torn the arse out of ASDA haven't they? it was never great but wow... brexit and greedy buyout have killed that place, empty shelves everywhere.

I started watching this, saw you fry the bananas and suddenly craved rice pudding with caramel used fried bananas. Now back to watch with my freshly cooked breakfast 😂 Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Looking forward to the new kitchen!

Watching these videos, and the Stuff series, is a bit like when I was very little, following my parents and grandparents around the house while they did interesting projects (or mundane chores). It's very cozy and a bit nostalgic.

One pound for 500g of cooking bacon is wild, I'd love to see what I could do with that. You really encouraged me to be more adventurous in the kitchen ! I love these challenges

You could do a lot with it. 500 g is enought for a few meals

Really creative and different meals. 👍🏻

These cooking challenges are some of my favorite videos on your channel. They are inspiring and creative and make me want to try something similar when I get the chance. I loved the dog in this episode too :)

I am sure you still remember all the slightly weird (and sometimes even ranging to completely weird, tbh) dishes from the seventies? One of those was bananas cut in half lengthwise, spiced with curry powder and then rolled in smoked pork belly slices (which looked similar to your cooking bacon). Then they were pan fried in a non-stick pan till the pork belly was golden. This was one of the typical sunday afternoon snacks my mum used to make when I was a kid, and the whole family loved it! On sundays, we often skipped lunch, because we all got to sleep in, to then have an elongated, big family breakfast. Ah, I miss those days! Anyway - try the curry bananas, please! I am quite sure you'll like them.

That banana dessert looked wonderful. It's amazing how, even after this many videos in this series, you still find ways to surprise us with new dishes!

The dessert was my favorite! I like that it was not sweetened without anything else. Fantastic job.

In this video, AS discovers that you can also open non-pull-tab cans with a can opener.

I'm so happy for you that you're getting your kitchen fixed up!!! 👏👏👏
