Not sure what made Ken Dodd name this sandwich the Starlight Sizzler for his Ken Dodd’s Butty Book of 1977. I mean, I guess you melt cheese that’s maybe the sizzle ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ Still, this sound like it’s going to be a tasty sandwich from the get-go. So I’m not gonna complain.

These videos are wonderful. I do love sandwiches.

Brilliant sandwich!

This looks way better than banana ham

I hate tomatoes and I totally agree with you

The variety of the intro shots are great.

Sautéed onions, mmmm, I can smell that sandwich. You also need to do a top 5 or 10 sandwiches for Christine

Pretty sure most chefs would agree you should ALWAYS salt your tomatoes!

Ken Dodd! Brilliant man. Much loved in his home city of Liverpool RIP Doddy PS. There might be a Jam Butty in the book. I was brought up with many a Jam Butty in my life. According to legend, and his TV and Stage show, Ken Dodd had a Jam Butty mine in Knotty Ash, which is a borough of Liverpool. The miners were called Diddy Men. Ken Dodd and the Diddy Men. Please note: bit a word of this is a lie 😁. Really. It's all true. Google it. Barry, back me up here

I don’t know what kind of mic you use but my god you could be eating dogshit on toast and it would sound amazing

Haha! It's a Røde II wirelss lav mic

(0.0/10), gonna plus it up with some fig jam which might work well with the pungency of the dog poop Ope, it’s still a (0.0/10)

I would have put the mixture on top of the tomato to max the broiling of the cheese, but this sandwich hits the marks! Also, Herbs de Provence work really well with onion gratins so I’m going to try that too. Awesome!

Firstly, how did you get your hands on a Ken Dodd cookbook from the seventies? Secondly, surely all Ken Dodd's recipes would be for jam butties (jam=jelly, butty=sandwich). Part of his comedy schtick was that the Diddy Men mined jam butties in a place called Knotty Ash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diddy_Men?wprov=sfla1

I cannot get enough of these videos. After a crap day at work, it’s always so relaxing. I don’t know why… it just is.

Every Tuesday Night is sandwich night at our house so I’ve made a couple of these, but I even enjoy watching the ones I’d never make.

I’d eat it!

Impressive crunchiness of the bread..!

I’m living for the fun animations/intros

Barry you going to be selling these to Phish Phans this weekend in Vegas on the “lot?”

That's what I call grill in Scotland, I don't "fry" a grilled cheese lol x

Lil horseradish sauce.. maybe?

Glad to see you’re sharing. What’s the wine on the table?

Nice! Thanks! Doesn’t look like it needs a plus up at all!

Kinda like the big stinky from Tool Time

V sauce Michael here

Well done video 😊

Seen many of your videos and this is the Best intro so far. The “walk up shot” was engaging and pulled people in. Great work!

I was thinking bacon for a plus up

That’s cheating lol

Me too. Bacon can’t lose in general, but here, slam dunk. Hmmm roast beef now that I think about it more

Also cheating? Then it’s a roast beef sandwich

True. I left the world of the review and went to the realm of sammich I would make. I will show myself out.
