Freshers Foods Brad and Jack (Part 2 The Hangover) featuring Freshers Bacon Jerky



Here's the second part of the three part comedy series Brad and Jack. In this episode Jack is experiencing a bit of hangover and can't seem to understand how Brad isn't. Watch this short clip to see the hagover/head ache debate unravel.

Also watch out for Freshers Bacon Jerky featuring in the episode. If you've never heard of Bacon Jerky before (where have you been?) it's a totally unique ready-to-eat meat snack made from 100% sweet cured bacon, available in two delicious flavours: Original & BBQ. It truly is a tasty snack to munch on at work, at home, before the gym (it's very high in protein) and just anytime anywhere. But it can also be used to make super fast bacon sandwiches that take seconds, literally. So here's how:

Super Fast Bacon Sandwich
To make 1 sandwich you will need:
- 1 packet of Freshers Bacon Jerky (Original or BBQ flavour)
- 2 pieces of bread (white or brown, it's up to you)
- Butter (optional)
- Ketchup/BBQ/Brown Sauce (optional)
- Microwave
- 2 plates

Method:
  1. Just like making an ordinary bacon sandwich, butter both pieces of bread (if you're using butter) and place onto a plate. 
  2. Next open the Freshers Bacon Jerky packet and tip the jerky onto another plate and place the plate into the microwave on FULL POWER for 20 seconds. Just count to 20 in your head, no point setting the timer. 
  3. Take the bacon jerky out of the microwave and if you're happy with it, transfer onto the bread. If you would like it more crispy, spin it in the microwave for another 10 seconds. 
  4. Add sauce onto the sandwich (if you wish) and Enjoy!!
The best thing for me about cooking up bacon jerky is that you can enjoy a hot sandwich anytime anywhere (provided you have a microwave of course). No more cold sandwiches at work and no more waiting around for ages for the grill to heat up etc.

Where do we buy this amazing and dynamic meat snack? Well you can either find it in your local supermarket such as Asda or Tesco, or you can order it from Amazon right here. You are welcome.

Essential Summer Recipe (featuring pork scratchings of course!)

Hi there!

Hope you're all having a pleasant summer, whether you're sat in the sun enjoying an ice scream or cooling off in the shade. Here's a quick and simple summer recipe that's simply delicious:

Freshers Summer Salad

Ingredients:
- Packet of Pub Original Pork Scratchings/Crunch
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 large cos or romaine lettuce
For the dressing
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 anchovies from tin
- Medium block of parmesan or Grano Padano cheese (for grating)
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

Method:
1. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken and fry for 4 mins. Turn the chicken over and cook for 4 minutes further.Check the chicken is cooked through by poking the tip of a sharp knife in the thickest part, there should be no sign of pink juices.
2. Bash the garlic with a flat knife and peel off the skin. Crush garlic with garlic crusher. Mash the anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl. Grate a handful of cheese and mix with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of a yogurt - if it's thicker, stir in a few tsps of water to thin it.
3. Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear the lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with (and this is the good bit) half a packet of Pork Scratchings or Crunch. Add most of the dressing and toss with fingers. Scatter the remainder chicken and scratchings/crunch, then drizzle with remaining dressing. Sprinkle parmesan and serve straight away.

Bon apetit!
