I genuinely burst out laughing so hard when lad went from speaking in foreign language to get the McMuffin and the moment it was confirmed he went 'sod it' and just said "three of them"
This is an interesting concept.
At the start I thought the students would be a doing the cooking and Barry would be filming while providing advice, but this is still interesting.
Love to see you trying new stuff though Barry, and I'd definitely watch more videos of the same format.
There was a show on the BBC about 15 years ago that was this concept (Want to say 'Taking on the Takeaway') where a celebrity chef would go into someone home and cook their favourite takeaway whilst the presenter went and picked up the same thing from their regular takeaway. Barry might've had that hidden away in the back of his mind.
Or "but faster" that Joshua Weissman did
@@methebee Ssshhh! Nobody needs to know that Barry has stolen pretty much every video concept for the past ten years!!!
@@AntonGully but doing it gracefully, I assume you enjoy it
Loving the crayon illustrations and the song choice haha very adorable
Cheers :)
My guess is it's called an English muffin because it's a muffin from England 😊
Sounds good to me!
It differentiates the standard muffin in the US, which is like a Blueberry, or chocolate chip muffin, more like a dessert than a grain.
@@mrbarrylewiswhen I was younger they were just called muffins. It was only when the American style muffins became more commonplace that they started calling them English muffins here in the UK.
I heard they were invented by a Scottish man living in America 😅
I know them just as 'Muffins'. Same as 'English Breakfast' tea. I know that as ... Tea.
Great try using Czech in England! That’s fun. I was wondering what would be used. Loved that I understood.
You would understand quite a surprising amount, as words would share a root, and we would also have loan words. I don't know why they are called loan words, as they aren't given back!😂
I used to make these for breakfast all the time, but in a much more cheating way. I would get precooked frozen sausage patties and my roommate had a microwave egg cooker that was designed to make them just for the sandwich. It would take maybe 2 minutes to heat/cook everything and be ready.
Sounds good!
Brilliant concept. Amazing to see you giving back by giving students experience. Look forward to more.
Cheers
THIS IS EPIC!! Please make this into a series, because I love it!
What did you like most? The students standing around doing nothing meaningful or the camera guy being gone from the kitchen, thank god?
This was a fun one. And really enjoying the videos with Tom. It’s great that he can help with filming/production AND be such a good co-host. Feels like you guys found a great balance!
I feel like Barry's is the one you'd see in the ads, as compared to the real one. Nice of him to get students in on a video.
I make 10-12 of these on the weekend, wrap and freeze them for breakfast throughout the week. Love 'em although I do turkey sausage instead of pork.
how many breakfasts do you have per week haha
@@Thomashorsman Four family members and not everyone has a sandwich.
@@ThomashorsmanI do this as well and it's just me. I'm eating one right now.
I picked up a cheap sandwich maker from Amazon when they first started doing Black Friday in the UK and the discounts were still worth bothering with. You have to precook any meat that goes into it, but it cooks the egg in place and melts the cheese perfectly. I can't eat the patties, but in some places you can pick frozen ones up, making it even faster. Not as nice as fresh, I'm sure, but they exist.
Been watching your channel for so long (very very long, makes me feel old remembering when I discovered you) and all these cool changes and improvements you make all the time is super inspiring to me. This was such a super cool unique episode haha. Cheers from America.
It's great to see the McMuffin Men got through the temporary traffic lights on Drury Lane
Wow... Barry is completely unaware of the concept of "short order" cooking. The goal is to have everything done at once (should have started cooking the sausage first, then put the english muffin in the toaster just before cooking the egg, then when it's toasted, butter it while the egg and sausage finish cooking, so everything is hot and ready at the same time) - instead of mixing up the sausage (I don't know if you can call that "sausage" with just salt and pepper; where's the sage? The thyme? Garlic powder? Onion powder?) and PUTTING IT IN THE FRIDGE, cooking the egg and setting it aside (so it gets good and cold), then the sausage and setting it aside (to get to room temperature), before toasting the muffin... That McD's must be quite far away.
Love that you used kids from weston collage. I went to weston collage 20 years ago and would have loved to do this. They were fantastic 😊
Like the idea behind this video, the challenge concept. More of these please!
Thanks some are harder than others but we thought it was a great opportunity for the students work experience
Agree with the commenter! Get the young ones involved early- Maybe a new twist on the channel, a breath of fresh air? And also back to your roots, as it were, teaching yourself to cook as a younger man. Maybe a second channel? Great possibilities IMO.@@mrbarrylewis
Your sausage needs a lot of sage and a bit of crushed red pepper flakes. And the muffin should be fork split, not cut.
You can get sausage patties at Sainsbury’s to make it easier and cheaper too
Yes and have you seen the whole knock-off ones in the freezer aisle?
@@mrbarrylewisyes I would never buy them but I do get the patties from time to time as I prefer them to beef burgers
@@mrbarrylewissausage patties cheese and black pudding that is yum yum!
Yes and Aldi too best thing ever invited for a Sunday morning 👍
I use to make those when I got back to work but I just bought a bag of frozen formed sausage patties. I used one of those silicone egg rings and tons of cheese.
Wasn't it chewy eating the silicone egg ring?
@@AntonGully I didn't eat the ring part.
Imagine how quick it would go if you toasted and cooked the egg and sausage at the same time.
You are the Barry White of Breakfast sandwiches. Let's get it on
Gotta 'Practice what you preach' lol! (Think that was a Barry White song)
The smartest person in the room as he called It. should have told him that pork minced with salt and pepper is not sausage. Heck sage is even in the name sausage 😂
Agreed. Sausage needs more seasoning than just salt and pepper.
Thank you. I was just going to say this. That's just a pork pattie.
Love these on a roadtrip.
Cheers!
just a thought - you could individually freeze the leftover muffins to use in a pinch for a quick breakfast....
The McMuffin men sounds like a hell of a British boy band lol.
Čeština!!! i was thinking what language he would toss but i was surprised !!🎉
Barry, that’s not enough seasoning for breakfast sausage!
Very cool of you to get the college kids involved. I studied media at Bridgwater college and this would have been an awesome work experience opportunity. I mean what other employer makes you an egg McMuffin?
Barry you missed a golden opportunity at the golden arches, should have made them get breakfast for everyone if they were gonna be cheeky getting extras for themselves, would have probably more that doubled their time.
This was a fantastic idea and video. Bravo.
Barry is turning to saul goodman
"Am I allowed to wave to it" 😄
She made me laugh so hard. So cute.
Ive made my own egg mcmuffins and when I tell you its SO good
I use generic sausage patties(pick your favorite), and in less time it takes to make a pot of coffee, I can have 1 or more, req bigger pan, made with a side of eggs(over med). The price of my meal, less than 3$. Meanwhile the McDonald's meal costs 10$ or more and for less food.
In the end, McDonald's breakfast is only for those that don't have a kitchen or are away from home.
In this video, Barry casually recruits teenagers to reaffirm once again that his cooking is in fact better than fast food.
Tune in next week where he holds parliament hostage until they all try his sausage roll recipe.
i like this video format.
This needs to be a series! I love it
VERY good concept! Please do this more often barry! Teach more college students to eat better🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They were a great bunch, any help is always welcome!
@@mrbarrylewisyessir 😊😊
The British weather did not disappoint 👏
Good to see some typical English weather 😂.
Richmond breakfast patties are great, take around 10 minutes in airfryer from frozen, 10 minutes in total for a sausage mcmuffin
I love this concept! Absolute Genius idea! Hopefully there is more to come like this! Next time, maybe the college kids can cook too! Fantastic all the way around!
"How the heck do you slice an egg mcmuffin into like 6 pieces?" LOL. For starters don't slice into 4 pieces.
It was quite tricky to do!
@@mrbarrylewis you're too hilarious. You make interesting and tasty food, and are funny! Keep it up!
What was the difference in prices Barry?
Originally the American English muffin was invented by Samuel Bath Thomas when he immigrated to the USA in the late 1800s. It was first marketed to Americans as a "toaster crumpet" but named changed later. All info I could find said it was based/inspired by the crumpet
Nope, he may well have introduced it in the US but muffins existed in the UK for a long time before he came up with his version. There are recipes from the 1700s but they almost certainly existed before that in some form, since a lot of pain/griddle cooked breads could be made by folks who didn't have access to an oven.
From what I know, the American style of English muffin has a very open texture whereas a UK one has a closer crumb. American style English muffins are definitely not equivalent to UK crumpets as some people think.
@@orientalmoons I said the "American" english muffin. It was introduced in America after he immigrated. It was inspired by the crumpet..yes "inspired" not exactly a crumpet. He had to alter the components to make it work here, that's why it has a different consistency. Yes, that type of bread existed long before but the English muffin used in mcdonald's is different (you even said the American English muffin is different)
Great video Barry and team
Cheers then :)
Nice video mate, like the way you're using tom in these as part of the video rather than previous editors. Good idea with the challenge as well, looked fun to make. Hope you made good use of those work experience kids on the washing up
Brilliant challenge & the homemade Mc Barry’s muffin looked delicious 😋 Thanks Barry, Tom & Students 👏👏👏🤗
Well, Barry, yours definitely looks like the advert for McDonald's, but as we see, yours looks a lot larger, and im team home made
That was so fun and honestly I love that the homemade was the winner. So much better than restaurant quality or lack there of 😬
It is called an English muffin, because American muffins are basically little cake similar to that of cupcakes, but not quite.
It's called an English muffin because the guy who invented that specific kind wanted to differentiate his brand to sell them in America (though, honestly, American and English muffins were pretty similar to each other at the time), and then the Americanism found its way back over the pond through pop culture and, probably especially, McDonald's.
Don't worry about the cheese, Kraft singles are the kind McDonald's uses anyway, so it's more authentic. And it's probably about 59% cheese, 40% milk, and 1% other stuff, mostly salt, anatto (for coloring) and sodium citrate (to get the milk and cheese to mix).
I think I've heard a few people describe the sweet cake like muffins "American muffins" but it sounds very old fashioned and like something a boomer would say, so of course no young person or business wanting to sound modern would call them that, but you probably need something to distinguish one from the other.
@@orientalmoons Well, that or you could just not have American muffins in the first place, but if there are two things my country is good at, they're adding sugar to everything and pushing its culture on the rest of the world. Well, two things that aren't going to start a huge political flamewa- ah, I mean _debate_ in the comments, anyway.
Sorry if you've already answered this question, but where did you get the measuring jug with a spout? That would be so handy for me! 😊
I love that you keep taking wild swings! And they've all hit so far! Keep it up Baz!
I'd thought one of the boys was Barry's nephew, Jack. Honestly- it's been whie since we saw Jack and seeing how the girls- esp. Chloe grew up; why wouldn't one be Jack wearung contact lenses? ehhehe
Homemade is always the best; but it's all the work/love put into it.
BTW-Red Leicester would have been great in the McBarry sandwich!
Oh, just at the start of the video and already enjoying what I see ❤❤❤
This looked so fun! I’ve been excited to watch since seeing the filming on your Instagram stories. 😊
Love adding the extra people, fun
Thought the thumbnail was Jamie Oliver for a second! 😆
I make 2 every couple of days at home & I cheat I have all-ready frozen sausage patties & microwave the fried eggs & toast the English muffin. I fried 2 eggs for 2 mins on the microwave & sausage patties in the microwave for 2 mins, put on the cheese & done.
homemade breakfast sammies are always better. only thing I'd change is the pork, sausage usually has more than salt and pepper
The English muffin is called that because a Englishman baker wanted to create a crumpet for the US.
Seriously? Lol
Er, no. Cute story but muffins existed long before that guy was promoting his product.
That was satisfyingly silly but demonstrated nicely that some so called fast foods can be made faster at home. Likely cheaper too, but then you’re paying McDonald’s to do the cleanup too.
There are other fast foods that will take you longer like say a roast beef sandwich. Where exactly is the point of diminishing returns? What fast food item (s) take just as long to make at home as to buy? Not just sandwiches, but curries and other takeout? Basic fish and chips maybe?
there you are, Mc donuts, a proper breakfast muffin!!!
Hahaha, this was a great ep. :) Good format too, especially with the fun (if dangerous!) challenges. :)
I would have used a sausage and de skinned it for the pork patty part
The original Sausage and Egg McMuffin video was my first Barry Lewis experience back in the day!
Thanks!
What happened to the kitchen you built in the garden? Thought it was for guest appearances and challenges but haven't seen you use it yet.
Also, massive Jamie Oliveoil vibes with that shirt Bazza
If I ever make it to your corner, could you or Tom please drive me around? I don't know how you did driving in America, but just watching Tom, I would be so lost over there!! 😂 I love me some sausage egg McMuffins homemade, we can buy 2 here for 5$, and I think, it's been a while. I can make more at home for that amount. Good job now, I must make one, lol!!
Great video guys! Great to see how you've stepped up the production of the videos (not too sure about the map though lol ;) but still kept the essential Barry humour / magic :)
0:58 my wife’s Canadian in WSM and this is the first time she’s understood things proper
Great video I do this all the time :) keep up your great work.
So, it's possible to make it even faster than that. The flat, round sausage patties that they use on Mc Muffins are something that you can just buy as is, and being thinner than your sausage patty, they would cook even faster.
Very new style I like it

You're the Best mate😊😊😊❤❤❤
Good job, mate.
We make them at home sometimes.
They are so much cheaper and tasty.
An EGGcellent video, Barry. Were the college kids media students? They did a great job. You should have them back again. Could it be a semi-regular thing?
That cheese I call " Plastic Cheese" since it's so hard to go bad, it just never changes no matter how long you've had it in the fridge or freezer. The only thing it's good for is melting. Lol
It’s great still seeing 1080p quality in 2024
McDonald's eggs are like lumps of rubber, more akin to a hockey puck than an egg. No way id eat them.
Pretty sure Barry watches Joshua Weisman 😂
I prefer the classic Egg McMuffin (Egg and Canadian Bacon).....it's super fast to make at home if you have a ring for the egg.
Also, I prefer to put the Canadian bacon/sausage on the egg after it's cooked (cook meat first of course) then put the cheese on top while still in the pan to melt it over everything :)
It's called an English Muffin to differentiate it from American Muffins, of course.
I make these at home all the time
I love this ❤
I finally saw one of these fabled things called egg... I hear they are made by a superhero called Super Market? Or something like that? 🤔
It's been a while since I was last here..... Who tf are these 4 with you Barry?
With regards to the "10% cheese" comment, most of those are between 80% and 90% cheese.
This is a great video to make!
I know “English” muffins are a US thing, but do you not have fork-split muffins?? They’re so much better with all the craggily bits.
To confuse things ask Chris the butcher what a muffin is 😂
And now I need a mcmuffin... It's been years since I had mcdonalds. You've ruined me by reminding me of the one thing on the menu that I crave.
That name makes you sound scottish "its McBarry Laddy"
lol
Work experience? What are they studying? How did you get saddled with four of them at once? Did you volunteer or did the school approach you?
Probably media production/technology or something like that - you could see it was them handling the cameras here. Most likely also helped with editing.
Yummmmm 😁😁
This was fun :3
lol cute video with the guests. If I made that I would use a Brown and Serve already cooded sausage patty but that looked breat
Try it on a bagel 🥰😘
Nice call!
