Yeah. I'm going to try to attempt 1 a week. I'm also going back to strictly UK based reactions on the main channel and moving shows not uk based to a separate channel. I'll also wind up trying european recipes but those will go on my non uk reaction channel where I've been looking at Dutch things and the French national anthem

So much there from traditional recipies, odd food combos, what stores there have as thier uk / european range.

Apart from the ubiquitous corn-syrup that seems to be in every American product, the main thing that the Jimmy Dean sausage links are missing is the breadcrumbs/rusk (basically dried bread dough without yeast). These are used to fill out the sausage, but also to keep shape and prevent loss of moisture and prevent the meat from drying out and losing flavour. A little ground up dry/stale bread (it's easier to get very fine crumbs, you want it almost powder like) mixed in should help you shaping the sausage around the egg too. Add it slowly until the sausage isn't sticking to your hands and you should be good. Don't use the breadcrumbs you use for the coating though, as I'm not sure how well they'd mix in, even if you ground then up. Also a lot of traditional British dishes give multiple options for ingredients. Partly because of the scarcity of some ingredients and partly because you used the fruit and veg that was is season. Using what is available is what a lot of my childhood meals involved and I was born over a decade after rationing finished. I don't see using pre-seasoned sausage as an issue personally, though if you used hot dog meat, spam, or Bologna then I would definitely raise an eyebrow of disapproval :) I'd love to see you make yourself a nice shepherd's/cottage pie. They're essentially the same dish, but one is lamb, or mutton and the other is beef, they're also very hearty, so best eaten on a colder day. If you fancy something sweet then I'd say you should try making British Flapjacks. They're essentially oatmeal bars, a little like They're incredibly easy to make, they're a great thing to cook with kids, and they take less than half hour to make, including cleaning up afterwards.
