- In this MUNCHIES special, we meet owner Joe Cooke, great-grandson of Robert Cooke, who opened London’s first pie shop in 1862. Joe shows us how to prepare a proper plate of pie and mash, complete with an eel and parsley sauce known as liquor.

You know, with all the talks of British food being bad, I can respect the passion and dedication in creating these food. Stereotypical British food leaves me an impression that it’s food for the common folks, easy to fill you up and doesn’t taste overly rich.
Being East Asian myself we also have fish jelly and blood sausages. Some consider them disgusting but It’s food that people created when they have to make do with what they have.
As much as we get shit for our food and honestly not while not completely unwarranted, we excel at simple hearty food.
@@braniefanie4938Nah we French give a lot of shit to English ppl for their food while half of the population eat pasta and frozen steak and don't even know how to cook an egg. I have studied English gastronomy when I was in cooking school and some of the dish are incredible.
Thank you for understanding this. A lot of British food like this is made to be cheap and filling, and it typically heavy on the meat and carbs. They are proper working class meals, and for traditional working class jobs in the day (mining, farming, factory work of all sorts) you need as much energy as you can get for as cheap as possible. This means a lot of meat, fish, served in a pastry of some kind with a gravy, with some veggies on the side. No fancy spices, people couldn’t afford them! You only got spices in meals for holidays, like Christmas and Easter, and the spices are typically used in desserts.
Is baked potatoes British? because I used to get that all the time at a local pub when I lived there, and it was incredible. Plus fish and chips.. that is pretty good too. The only complaint I have with british food is that the portions can be really small sometimes, at least back in the 90s. I felt that even back then when I was still a child.
@@simonphoenix3789 apparently it's originated from Peru .
I thought I was the only one but after looking at comments I've realised basically everyone who's seen this video occasionally comes back for unknown reasons, guess we're not all so different
I just realized that too. Someone should investigate this phenomenon.
I think most people just like rewatching cooking videos tbh. Add a charismatic likeable dude with the thickest british accent you can imagine and you got an entertaining video.

This man had a simple life
I had the pleasure of eating here, it was the best pie, mash and liquor that I have ever had. The friendly customer service from Mrs Cooke was top notch too.
As absolutely vile as jellied eels sound, watching Joe cook with such love makes me want to try this stuff out. If I ever go to London, I’m going to try it and report back
Don't eat them on their own, a good splash of vinegar and white pepper is a must to get the full flavour. 👍
Unagi is pretty bomb ass if you want eel thats quite a bit more palatable lol
eel is actually an excellent meaty fish with a very mild flavor. The skin has a lot of collagen making the broth naturally gel. This dish seems to just be an evolution of some sort of english soul food, where the people were eating eels and found that it gelled the next day and grew accustomed to it.
@@ceeby69
Thank you.
Jellied eels are disgusting but pie and mash is one of the best meals I’ve had.

Honestly I’ve wanted to try this guy’s food since this video released
3 years later and I still can't believe how softly he holds them pies
Could you hold those pies even half as gently as he does?
I don't think so...I know I couldn't...
So soft
Gentle gen
My grandad was from the east end of London he was born in 1925 & sadly is no longer around, he was also called Joe. Just watching this video reminds me of him he loved jellied eels, just the mannerisms and the way the people talk, it was so familiar. I haven't heard my gramps voice in years & it was like having him back for a bit 😊 I really miss him
Fun fact: I don't have an Idea how soft he's holding those pies.
I read that as soon as he said it😂😂😂😂🤔
I'm creased 😂😂
No thumb prints .............
it looks like he's supporting 'em from the bottom almost entirely
Imagine dowsing your private parts with jalapeno juice and then wiping them off with 300 grit sandpaper. That's really gentle
He's alive
And we just cut behind the ears
And
Boom ees dead
you BELLEND ! half wit and tonker you've nothing on that gent m8
Nobody is making fun of his accent. Its more of a comment on the fact that he's so used to death that its no big deal to him.
TheDeadlyShadow The way he says that just makes it sound so casual that I'd do it as well
Stevio Gaming he is talking about how he quotes on cutting the eels omg you bloody dimwit
OH YEAH emm no lol that's not how he says it at all
This is probably the most British thing I've ever seen and I love it. I wish all of England was more like this.
Gone and never coming back
@@johnflannery6763thank god
It's a blessings that your customers are always there even 60 + years. Thats a certification of a chef and resto that their standard never go down. Love his passion for the food he cook. ❤️❤️❤️
Every couple months or so I rewatch this and I don't know why. I've never had this food. I'm not british. I don't know why the video is appealing at all.
Yet here I am.
same bruh
Since you're the expert now, does a "bobsplosh" mean to rinse or wash?
Same. And rewatching YT vids is odd for me. There's a certain essence captured here.
honestly the video itself is appealing but the food looks meh.

Those pies are packed with meaty, wholesome, comforting flavour. If it was french everyone would have their dicks out, but meat pie doesn’t sound as exotic as “tarte du viande”
English don’t really market their food well, but it’s easily as good as any other cuisine
I hope they're doing ok this year.
They've closed a year ago
@@ekubo0037 not surprising, despite the "hurt Durr British food" memes modern British people like food that isn't the choice of 19th century peasants

I'm currently in London, and wanted to visit this restaurant ever since seeing this video years ago. I met Joe today and he came over and talked with me for about 45 minutes, amazing guy, and the food was fantastic!
Perhaps the most British thing I have ever seen
And yet it comes from Japan.

I mean... I know it's these people's tradition and all that... But it just looks awful. And it's so sad that the old lady seems to enjoy it so much. She has spent her all her life thinking THIS is good food.
first time he met his wife he held her so softly she hardly knew he was holding her, thats when she fell ded over Eels for him.
underrated comment🤣
You sir, are fantastic!
Brilliant mate!!
Joe you are wasted in these comments boy 😂
Bravo! 😎😂
After watching this clip for so many times, I finally made it there. The food and hospitality was great!!

@@cheguevara8410 literally the stupidest comment ever, go hide yourself in a dark room, open a history book and learn a thing or two you utter tool.
It just occured to me. Joe's speech about basic good tasting food is the exact same ball park as Marco pierre white and his attitude towards perfection. Lots of little things done right is perfection.
It works very well with the humble menu, it's one of the reasons small shops and street food can put out world-class dishes. Simple, focused mastery.
That's why he returned his michelin stars and get back to the basics
His Motto was consistency and thats what brings people back
There is no such thing as perfection, nothing is perfect.
His grip on those pies is perfect.
This man is so genuinely wholesome! I cannot get enough! I want to fly across to world just to eat his food!!!❤
there's no secret in his way of cooking it's just how passionate and how he truly love what his doing💞

Did they actually close shop?

Agreed, i will most likely be back in 5 months
Today marks my annual reminder that I have no idea how soft he's holding those pies.
Every so often, it’s good for me, as a chef, to come back and watch this bloke make his pies.
So simple, and yet it’s an art. Simple food is magnificent food. And I’m glad to be doing something more like this now than fine dining.
….id also love a pie now. Oooh there’s a craving. 🤤
I wish I could find something I enjoyed doing as much as this man enjoys making running this restaurant

The shop's been in his family for generations, bet they own the building, are well established, out about to go out of business, he's got a steady dependable job, appreciative customers, a sense of craft, and since he's in Britain, the NHS. In the US you could win the lottery and not end up doing nearly as well.

It’s weird how many many times I came back to this video, theres something so simple about their business but filled with passion
As an East Londoner, I can confirm this shop and this man are the real deal. There's only a few decent Pie & Mash shops left around (This one. Manze's, Eel & Pie House, and a few scattered in east), But its good to see business is still going. Never liked Jellied Eels but pie and mash was a favourite of mine growing up.

It's great that canteens still exist, somewhere in the world. Here in Finland they are just memories. It's good to eat warm, tasty food in the mornings, this is how you get through the day's. Big thumbs up.
The program reminds me of my childhood and shared moments with my father. Eel was one of my favorites at the time. It still is. Father used to take me to the market in Helsinki in the summertimes. He bought us smoked eel. In those early mornings we would sit side by side on the stone pier and enjoy salty fatty eel with bread.
Can life get any better? Thanks for the great documentary, it brought back memories for an old man.
They do still exist here just maybe not in Hellstinky doe
This was so wholesome I am not even going to question why Jellied eels exist. I'm just accepting it and moving on.
Eels used to be plentiful, were caught in large numbers and were a good source of protein for working people. Some jelly occurs naturally from cooking the fish when the liquid (stock) cools. Keeping the pieces covered in cooking liquid helped it stay moist and saleable for longer, I'd guess adding some extra gelatin was done for a consistent result.
Let's just hope 2021 treats us as gently as this man treats those pies
It's gonna treat us like a blacksmith to his sword
I got enough thumb marks from 2020
2021 is treating us like he is treating those eels.

I've been there with a mate 3 years ago. We're both from Paris but we had to go to London for a friend's birthday, so we made sure to arrive in town early enough to try this gem. Joe was the nicest guy and took 5 minutes to sit with us as we were eating, and tell us how much he loves is job and food in general. He even told us that every once in a while he and his wife would take Eurostar to Paris, eat in a proper parisian restaurant, and go back to London by the evening hahaha !
