'Maris Pipers Of Peace': Paul McCartney makes mashed potato
Posted by Andrew Harrison on 20 August 2008 - 4:38pm.
For those who enjoyed Stevie Riks's "Ringo makes toast", here's an actual Beatle in the kitchen.
Margarine? Hmmm. Anyway, let's hope those potatoes aren't "a bit BAIRNT."

Very...
educational.
A true renaissance man...
He's spot on with the onion
just make sure you don't use a glass one...right kids?
Can I just say...
1) Lousy knife skills. I'm surprised he's still got the fingers necessary to play guitar.
2) Like Andrew says: Margarine?
3) SOYA MILK? IS THAT A SERIOUS SUGGESTION?
4) You should always heat the fats before adding them to the potato. Cold milk will cause the potato starch to set, resulting in an unpleasant, gluey texture.
5) Use a ricer, not a masher - it breaks down the potato fibres in a way that produces a much smoother, more consistent mash.
6) Nutmeg is good.
McCartney may have me beaten in the song-writing stakes, but I'd have him in the Potato Olympics any day.
But I bet from now on. . .
you too will be saying for the rest of your life "Here's one I prepurred airlier". Hell, I know I will.
Potato Olympics
Hopefully we shall see you receiving your gold medal at London 2012, Fraser.
Soya milk
... actually makes really good mash. I happen to know because I prefer it to cow juice on my cornflakes of a morning so it's the 'milk' which is usually to be found in my fridge.
There's no substitute for butter though.
*sings*
Golden Wonders fill your eyes...
Very good!
The best I could do was 'Sun King Edward'.
Errrr...
Yukon Do That.
"I Peel Fine"
as suggested by R Fitzpatrick.
oooh
Day Chipper...
...thinks long and hard...
Paperback (Maris) Piper...
...groan...
After lying awake all night trying to think of something...
(pass the) masher my dear. Wasn't really worth the wait was it?
and it's just dawned on me
that 'Her Majesty' off Abbey Road is probably about, er, a British Queen.
right, i'll get my jacket...
He's the Cook of the House
And I thought the lyrics to "Temporary Secretary" were painful! The fear ran through me as I watched him cut that onion. Still, a great capturing of a Macca moment. I was hooked.
Blame Sir Walter Raleigh...
...he was a stupid get.
At least he didn't feel the urge...
... to sing 'Scrambled Eggs'
Or Honey Pie.
Where is this from? Is there any more?
Web
It's from some kind of internet broadcast filmed a decade ago. BBC Online covered the story at the time. At the bottom of the piece there's a lovely bit about how "The Internet is being used increasingly by rock stars to reach their fans".
Thanks Fraser
Isn't it just? They'll be selling CD's in coffee shops next.
