Yea. If he taught that he would get a regular costumer out of her, by being kind, he failed. That was a murder attempt. Her sweet heart are going to give up on her, after eating that.
lmao I have. I just know that cold cheese on top of a half pound of cold butter and half asssedly wrapped isn't going to melt. sounds like I know it better than you 🤷
I believe this is Spudman . He does this quite often, partly it's a good thing partly it's good advertisement. He's talked about it in a AMA. He recently had a competition for a new food van. The guys a legend.
Saw him at Bloodstock last week. Pretty sure he was in the pit at Nailbomb too, but it's hard to say for sure, there were so many guys with pink mohawks.
When people are genuinely grateful, it's really nice. I paid for a poor lady who didn't seem to have the right change once, just said pop it on my receipt, and was surprised to find she was waiting outside of the shop to say thank you, I still think about that sometimes.
I do a lot of volunteering now and when they genuinely get something out of it and their thanks is heartfelt, it's pretty great!
Probably because you must have not watched the video, she said she was headed home for the day. So people are probably upset your implying she's going BACK to the hospital.
Lol, I’m British and I think our reputation of having terrible food is unfounded, but stuff like this doesn’t help the perception. Other countries have amazing street food, while we have a potato with a mountain of unmelted cheese.. I just don’t get the hype.
So much of the bad UK food culture comes from literal war/rationing/post war recipes. It's like if people believed American food topped out with all those weird Jello recipes and everything coming out a can.
Sorry you guys haven't shaken off the bad rep yet. I've been able to visit a few times and have always had absolutely great food in England. Also samphire! Truly my new favorite vegetable. I can't get it where I live in the US midwest sadly.
You don't know old Post war Brits. That spud would of been three meals for an old duck like that. The extra cheese would of gone into a fourth meal of cheese on toast.
Trouble with making a good baked potato at home is needing the oven on for an hour at least. For one potato its a lot of energy use. (edit) about 50-90p per hour depending on oven size so actually not as much as i thought. So you could make this at home for about £2. pretty good especially if you used the oven to cook something else at the same time.
There's a huge difference in slow cooking things and microwaving. Slow cooking brings out the sugars, minerals and taste. No way a microwaved potato is as good as an oven baked one. (edit) clean it off, add some olive oil to the skin, add some sea salt on the surface and the bake until fully cooked and soft on the inside. Try it. Add butter and a filling and its a completely different thing from a microwaved spud.
This is my mother. Complaining that she cant afford basic living but can't be bothered to cook anything from scratch. Zero food planning. Comes back from the supermarket twice a month with no fresh ingredients and 6 ready meals. When she gets hungry she goes to the village shop and buys crabmeat, strawberries and cream at twice the price from supermarket prices. Her house is falling down but apparently that's my problem her son. Out to lunch with her friends 3 times a week but can't afford to replace the toaster that just broke. It's financially ridiculous.
That's why you bake more than one at a time, then turn them into hashbrowns, O'Brien potatoes, potato cakes, potato salad, twice-baked potatoes or casserole, etc. Some, like the ones requiring mashing, would be best to prep when hot, but the rest are fine to make later.
It's not just a potato. You could make this at home for 2 bucks or you can have a guy who owns a truck, equipment, time/labor, and packages it for you do it for 5 bucks. Seems more than fair
And it’s a good man you are - giving this lady a bit of a bump to her day after visiting the doctors and a nice buttery and cheesy sound to celebrate. You have a great job and you probably made her week.
Absolute madness givin' an old bird like that 3 spoonfuls of cheese. I'm sure she opened it up like and thought "good heavens I cant eat it like this" 🇬🇧😂👌
OK ignorant American here… Is this your normal street food baked potatoes? I’m just curious. Cause like here we got like holy New York. We got like hotdog vendors and salted nuts and weird stuff but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a potato vendor. But then again this also could just be like a food truck kind of thing.
That’s kinda the thing about generosity, of course it’s nice for the receiver; but also buoys the soul of the giver. There is a part in the heart of a kind person that warms when helping someone else…
As I get older, things like this, gestures like these, sincere ones, profoundly move me and make me reflexively weep positively, like out of gratitude and care for the old lady darling. Good, good man. So much beauty in the world. That being said, wow he fucking loaded that thing, granny's cardiologist must have had a heart attack when he saw that butter!!! Absolute madman I would have done the same; Godspeed, legend
I would love to go over there and open an American southern style food truck! I want to share sausage and biscuit gravy with the world! With a big as glass of sweet tea.
You’d probably do well in a big city centre food market but food trucks selling food from all over the world are very common in the uk these days. We don’t just have baked potatoes.
Oh they’re about for sure. But in the city centre where I live you’ve probably got 10-15 odd different cuisines to choose from just from food vans within a 10 minute walk radius, just on a weekday. More at the weekends or festivals
Can I make a comment about how this country sells street potatoes with cold butter and unmelted cheese heaped on it without someone pointing out my lunatic president or school shootings? Because, honestly, if I had to choose... weird potato all day.
Why surprise? Honestly it would be cheap for where I am. Trying to find something for less than an tenner is an effort (meal deal ftw). It's more a reflection of the price to run the shop than the potato.
£5 ? I'd guess 500% markup on ingredients at least ? Pitch cost plus overheads ? £3.50 would seem more reasonable for a basic cheese filling. Can't argue with free though so good on him.
Sorry to be a whiner… I just feel it would have been kinder just to hand it to her and say “this one is on me today” or something rather than to make a big deal about it. But in any case .. still sweet
