    FWIW - this picture has been floating around since the mid 2000’s; the person who blogged about it cooked it super wrong. The instructions said to use a bain marie, and they didnt know what a bain marie, but saw you boiled water in it, so they just boiled the can. If you boil a can, water is 100% going to seep into it, and turn it into…what you see here.

      I’ve noticed Ashens is kind of winding down, release schedule is basically just the holidays now, has he announced anything? Retiring etc?

        Haven’t heard anything about retiring yet. I think part of it is a lot of the pound shops he depended on for tat have gone away. On top of that, after all these years I would guess that he is running out of novel junk from his collection to talk about. He’s also been working on his feature films too, which may be more rewarding to him in the long run than reviewing wonky toys and terrible food.

        I’m cool with him slowing down as long as he’s enjoying himself.

          I think he is running out of stuff a bit, yes. IMO he should open his PO Box back up. though the more spaced out releases do make it easier to post new videos in [email protected] “on time” (quotes because it’s not really as on time as you’d think)
