The single dad and self-declared foodie, first went viral for making beans on toast.
He used Heinz baked beans, on a toasted bread which he topped with parmesan cheese.
‘Alright, moment of truth,’ he says before taking a bite.
‘Oh my god, why is that so good,’ he adds.
‘It’s so good. How have we been missing out on that in the United States.
‘This is amazing, amazing, so good,’ he continues.
However, many British followers said he didn’t put enough beans on the bread – and that he should be using cheddar cheese.
On a second attempt of making it and eating it with a knife and fork, he said it taste even better.
AJ also tried a jacket potato with beans and cheese (left) and a Lucozade (right) – both of which he loved
The video now has more than 400,000 views and has spurned dozens more clips.
