10 food opinions that nobody asked for…

What did you think?

Andy Cooks has covered quite a stretch of the kitchen: homemade black pudding, cabbage-and-beef soup, low-effort dinners and the opening of a lemon tart recipe hunt. His seven-upload week leaves room for both a proper cooking project and the nights when cooking feels like one task too many.

"Black pudding!" is firmly in the project category. Andy's recipe combines strained pig's blood with pork back fat, softened onions, oats and warm spices, then bakes it in a covered loaf tin in a water bath. An overnight chill comes before slicing and frying. "Golumpki Soup for weezer" offers a different sort of comfort, bringing minced beef, cabbage, rice and tomatoes together, with dill, sour cream and rye bread to serve.

The largest new audience, though, went to "10 food opinions that nobody asked for…", reaching roughly 860,000 views. Viewers have supplied their own unsolicited additions: burgers should be wider rather than taller, sandwiches can be overstuffed, and cheese doesn't automatically improve everything. Dark-chocolate defenders also have objections to lodge.

"5 One Pot Meals for When You Can't Be Bothered" has reached about 611,000 views, with roast chicken and fish-and-potato stew among its practical options. The lemon tart search is currently attracting views fastest, followed by those one-pot dinners and the Golumpki soup.

The channel added subscribers over the week, although its daily views are well below their usual level. Among nearby food channels, Nick's Kitchen had a larger subscriber gain, while Epicurious was unchanged. Andy's own menu ends on an open culinary assignment: finding his favourite lemon tart recipe.

What viewers say

Deluxe burgers should be wider, not taller. I hate unhinging my jaw to a comical degree just to have lunch or dinner 🤦‍♂️

My hot take: I dislike overstuffed sandwiches. They are hard to eat, messy, and often don’t taste very good.

Nah, Andy. No can do with this chocolate slander. I won't have it. Dark chocolate reigns supreme.

Beef Wellington is just a fancy Hot Pocket.

Cheese can overpower an entire dish and doesn't automatically improve a dish by adding it

My hot take is that I think the only reason adults don't seem like picky eaters is because they only make the foods they like and go to restaurants they like, even when their kids don't always like those foods.

My hot take as a chef. A well done burger can be juicy when done right and I won’t eat an undercooked cooked burger.
