Careful with the Hobnobs! They're addictive. Have one, have two, and before you know it you've finished a whole package. 🙂
I just bought a pack of 6 cans of Heinz baked beans from Asda today and they cost me £5.25, or 88pence per can. US prices are astronomical.
We ought to ask why? What happened to the USA efficient farming that for decades our farmers were pressured to emulate that produced abundant CHEAP FOOD.
We pay over the odds for everything British here, The cheapest I can get Heinz beans is $3.49 that's when we order a twelve pack, we have to pay shipping on that if its doesn't come from Amazon.
@@janebaker966 Cheap food LOL, a decent loaf costs $6, you can get a loaf for $3 but its tasteless, a nicer loaf can cost $9, Sadly these are not always fresh, I refuse to buy it many times as its so hard/dry or burnt, luckily my wife can bake bread and that's what she has to do.
Decent Milk costs around $5 for a half gallon, middle of the road price for a dozen eggs is $5-$6.
Heinz is American 😂
Even in UK Heinz beans along with Heinz tomato soup has got too expensive for us - now have Lidls beans at 28p and their Newgate tomato soup at 62p much more affordable for us. Also goes for a lot of cereals, get generic brands apart from shredded wheat which for some reason nobody does a cheap version so have to go with the branded one.
Heinz 57 is the largest employer in my town Wigan in England.. As a kid coming home from the Lake district the illuminated 57 at Kitt green made me happy I was nearly home,
My father worked at Heinz 57, in Harlesden , London. It used to be one of the major employees in London. It was based in Waxlow Road. Right next door to a Macvittie's factory. The smell of the biscuits cooking, was divine. Even now I would pass a blind tasting session of products, and recognise the Heinz products. I can even know whats in a tin , with no label on it. I knew how to read the codes on the tin. Dad would bring , tinned goods home, where the label was missing.
To this day, I miss Heinz tinned puddings. Chocolate, Treacle Sponge, Mixed fruit and especially The Heinz Christmas Pudding. Trust me Mrs. Peaks Christmas Pudding, couldn't touch HEINZ. The Heinz London factory closed down during the 1980's. Most of the staff were made redundant and most had worked for Heinz 57, for many years, It closed down at a time when "Job for life" was ending.
I never realised Starsailor and Heinz beans came from the same place!
Heinz is an American company. I am sure they factories in other countries but…. Teresa Heinz who owns the company is married to John Kerry who is something in the Biden administration.
Double cream just being out on a shelf and not refrigerated is weird and probably explains why it looked separated and almost clotted, in a bad way. We do have something called clotted cream here, which is closer to a butter or spread consistency than runny but it doesn't have the weird water in it
the pickled onions jar is worth the money as you getting two products for the price of one, dont waste the malt vinegar when you can have it on your fish n chips...
some of the products i spotted didnt look right, it wouldnt surprise me if someone was counterfieting products as the cost of british goods is higher...
Yeah, not anymore, the vinegar is mostly water these days in every jar I've tried.
@@scottneil1187 It's probably not vinegar - it's probably "non-brewed condiment".
Sometimes companies produce products specifically for foreign markets or it's been imported from say the Canadian factories rather the British ones. So different packaging doesn't necessarily mean that it's counterfeit goods.
😮 the prices!!
I make binoculars out of the empty cans, so I can get Heinz sight.
😄😂
Nice one 😄
And soon it'll be $20.20
Ba dum tiss
Very punny.
I use Golden Syrup for baking. I make Chocolate Krispie Cakes for my grandsons which is just butter, syrup and chocolate melted in a pot and Rice Krispies added to the melted mixture. It's a great way to use up chocolate left over from Easter Eggs or at Christmas time.
Yes to Krispie cakes! I also make flapjacks (chewy granola bars) with butter, sugar, syrup and porridge oats.
I also like making chocolate Cornflake cake, while on the subject of breakfast cereals turned into treats 😂 You can alternatively use Shredded Wheat to make chocolate Easter nests (put Mini Eggs inside them)... Ahh UK 90s childhood baking 😂
OMG. As i sit here in my home in Brisbane 🇦🇺 watching this video i hear my UK hometown of Saltburn by-the-sea mentioned…. Gave me the warm feels 🇬🇧 now i have to binge watch your content :)
I'm drinking Fentimans rose lemonade right now :) As a Brit I definitely would have bought Yorkshire tea and the Marmite. The usual way to eat Marmite is to spread a thin amount on buttery toast. In terms of things from mainland Europe, I wouldn't have been able to resist the Camembert, and the Biscoff spread looks amazing. This vid triggered a memory, I went to Cadbury World in Birmingham on a school trip as a kid and they let us try chocolates (I think ones that you couldn't buy yet). I thought it was the best thing ever and they even gave us clipboards to write our reviews on.
Cadbury World seems like it would be such a fun school trip!
Totally agree about Marmite. The mistake the uninitiated make is spreading it too thickly. Best Marmite is subtle Marmite.
Rowntree made kitkat, Lionbars, Yorkie bars, smarties and many more but they got sold to Nestle I think in the 80's maybe 90's
1990s there was a baked bean war between the major supermarkets, and my local Tesco's was selling own brand beans for 5 pence, and they were good too.
Oh those were the days and ketchup for about 19p
Golden Syrup is magical-tasting. Best eaten warm and melted, a complex, fragrant ambrosial nectar of puddings and comfort food. It makes the best flapjacks, steamed puddings, ( cooked into the sponge and served with vanilla creme anglaise ) or poured on top of porridge, sinking down to the bottom, like a well of gold, so the best part is there waiting for you at the bottom... 🤤💛
Yorkshire tea, especially the raspberry jam on toast flavor, is rather amazing.
I must seek it out now. 😀
@@TheMagicGeekdom I found that Amazon has the best price for the stuff.
I love the jam on toast flavour.
Oh nice! Yes i have seen those biscuits and Galaxy cookies here i have tried some, but some are fairly new. We do say the word cookie too in the UK for those type that look like this 🍪Terry's is British first made in York but now gets made in France as the company was sold. The Items are expensive but that is common for imported goods. i have an American candy store close to where i live and that is very expensive as well.
Tadcaster is in Yorkshire and is a brewery town. I cannot believe the prices - wow!
I share your love for Tunnock’s Carmel Wafers - crispy heaven. Also when my cousin was stationed in the US as British military a group got together and imported a case of Heinz Beans and had them shipped by military transport - definitely considered necessary rations. 😅
Agreed, Tunnocks wafers are gorgeous, but their "Teacakes" will always be my fave as they bring back good childhood memories 💗 All that gooey marshmallow (similar to Fluff) and the biscuit base... And yes, I do have a box of them, well, 3 left currently 😂
$15 dollars for salad cream!!! Crazy pricing- how is it justified xx❤❤
A question the USA population should be asking of their political administration. What happened to America the land of cheap abundance.
Probably because it is imported in relatively small quantities. There may well be an element of profiteering, but also remember that a lot of groceries are more expensive in the USA than in the UK or Europe, especially if you want an equivalent quality.
You can mix oats and golden syrup together with some melted butter, bake it and you get delicious flapjacks 😁
1:47 Can't belive they have Mila and Horalky (Czech wafers)! And only twice as expensive as in Czech republic :)
Cadbury in Canada has nothing to do with Hershey and they have a plant in Toronto. Canadian chocolate is more like British chocolate than American, in fact, Hershey bars sold in Canada use a different recipe than in the states and taste totally different. In Canadian supermarkets, things like HP, Birds Custard powder and digestives are found with the "regular" groceries (HP is invariably shelved next to A1)
Absolutely - very annoyed that World Market are palming off 100% USA Cadbury as Canadian, surely that can't be legal? It would be great if they sold real Canadian Cadbury products like Mr Big, Wunderbar and Crispy Crunch!
Cadburys use different recipes around the world. For example, in Australia their chocolate has a much more waxy texture, because if it was made the same as in the UK then it would melt far too readily in AU temperatures, you wouldn't be buying bars of chocolate, you'd be buying packets of chocolate soup!
I have finally found Yorkshire Tea bags in Cyprus - it is a 90 minute round trip but has made me very happy. Cadbury once did a chocolate bar with Turkish delight filling and I loved it (years ago). I buy baked beans from Lidl in Cyprus (Freshona brand) and think they are better than Heinz. Thanks for sharing guys. x
World Market has an excellent range of dried goods from the UK, Ireland and Europe!
@raphaelrau1728 Not wishing to be pedantic but UK is in Europe. Unfortunately since Brexit many people seem to think that UK is no longer in Europe. Our little island is still there, we haven't floated away to a different continent. Although many people wish we would. ✌
Yorkshire Tea is the absolute best! ☕️
Nah, made for hard water.
It tastes rotten in Scotland, as we have soft water.
The beans thing I think is what turns a lot of Americans off and joke when they hear beans on toast because they are expecting that same level of sweetness they get from American baked beans
I live in England (originally from N Yorks but live in S Oxfordshire), but will eventually retire in Bulgaria with my wife...but the one thing I can never find there is good tea - they cater for the herbal and fruit teas - but I can't live without a cup of Yorkshire - I'll be travelling back every year to visit family (just to pick up some home comforts!!!)
All Marmite peanut butter needs to shine is some toast!! It's an excellent breakfast.
golden syrup baking cornflake squares, flapjacks, sticky toffee pudding to name a few.
Ribenna for 12$. we pay £1.50 max for same. insane. the beans, made me realise they are charging you more for the healthier option in US, getting it from UK we have much stricter law on adding extra, like US for fun
Heinz beans are the worst beans that you can get in the UK they are so watery. The best ones here at Branston
Hi Guys, hope you're both well, really enjoyed the vid, was wondering why you don't just move to the " Old Country " and enjoy food without the plethora of additives, colourings & preservatives that are so prevalent in the U.S. We'd free you of all that stuff! Take care. x
Walmart in Salem used to sell McVite's choc digestives, we would but them all the time as they were the cheapest we had ever found at £2.99, sadly they discontinued about 5 years ago along with Cadburys fingers.
As a Brit who has lived in the US (not recently) there seems to be some sort of feeling that English food is the same as UK food.....and alot of names of things change too....I think that is possibly why there isn't much of a BRITISH food section in US stores?
Google says there isn't really an equivalent for double cream in the US because the butterfat content is much higher than anything you get in the US. The closest equivalent is heavy cream and we can use it for whipping too but we also use it as it is as condiment for desserts like you would ice cream, custard or whipped cream. I've never seen it in a shop out of the fridge section so that may be why it looks that way
Thanks I didn't know that.
I try and seek European butter when possible for that reason though so it makes perfect sense.
It's Yorkshire Tea that people bang on about, also Marmite is more Australian than English.
I live in Orlando, FL, and I buy Camembert at my local Publix all the time.
Oh nice!
The galaxy cookies are British. Cookies are a specific type of biscuit over here.
You have to remember that you pay more for anything that is imported from another country to yours. Unfortunately, shipping costs don't come free! 😄. 🇬🇧
its not shipping costs its import taxes, and it works both ways
Golden syrup is in loads of uk desserts. Flapjack, steamed puddings, spiced cakes, tea loafs, gingerbread biscuits ect. It’s pretty much guaranteed to be in all treacle based desserts, and has either now completely replaced or is placed with black treacle, dependent on taste.
It’s like a thicker than honey consistency, and tastes like homemade caramel before you add the cream.
You can also make your own clotted cream! It’s basically baked double cream in a water bath.
Oh that makes so much sense. Thank you for the info!
@@TheMagicGeekdompst, Barry Lewis’s channel has a really good recipe too. UK RUclipsr so the measurements maybe a bit fiddly in translation, but I’ve used it and it works a treat. He doesn’t use a water bath though. Enjoy your future cream teas!
golden syrup also commonly used in british fudge along with double/clotted cream, very different from the american 'mackinac' type chocolate fudge.
possible in the usa with heavy cream but you have to find 'fresh' cream (just pasteurised) not uktra high heat treated, nor ones with gums/stabilisers (no easy task).
I use substitute Honey with Golden Syrup and pour it on Peanut Butter for a comforting sandwich.
yes...as a child we would mix it in a cup with peanut butter and eat it with a spoon...such a treat
I found that mixing some mild curry powder into some standard UK style brown gravy (made with gravy granules) tastes really similar to chip shop curry sauce.
You can also tell that is an imported Heinz beans, as it says Heinz Beans. They actually say Heinz Beanz normally in the UK
Wow I don't think I've ever noticed that difference!
or counterfiet, the wieght on the front got me suspicious of that can, i suspect that is an american product being passed off as british
@@CHEEKYMONKEY2647Counterfeit and weight my dude and no, they aren't counterfeit, they're just relabelled for US sale, this isn't a street market, stores have supply chains and distributors, there's regulatory bodies and inspections, there's no way they'd be selling counterfeit gear.
Heinz is an American company. You can just get “Pork n Beans” if you want beans in a tomato sauce like stuff.
Interestingly, the "Heinz Beanz" labelling only goes back to 2008 (though the "Beanz Meanz Heinz" slogan goes back to the 1960s).
The french label on terrys chocolate orange is correct you were also spot on in saying they were terrys of york but they got sold to a french company.
Terry's of York - AKA Slugworth's
I thought Nestle bought Terry's when they acquired Rowntree-Mackintosh?
You can make clotted cream from double cream, loads of recipes on line
Syrup on normal toast. Make flapjacks with it. Pour a bit on ice cream and it hardens. Syrup on French toast, on waffles or pancakes with fruit and/or yoghurt. Syrup pudding (steamed pudding with syrup). Tadcaster is on the outskirts of York by the way 😊😮
A cookie is a type of biscuit, oc the galaxy cookies are called cookies because theyre cookies, a custard cream for example is not a cookie, its biscuit. Cookie is generally the chcolate chip type circles.
s&b japanese curry has a similar taste to uk chipshop curry, not the exact blend of course but it is close enough.
Thanks! We'll have to try it.
Yes, that is what I use for chips & curry sauce, it works very well as a substitute. I get the medium version as the mild is a little too bland.
I'm petty sure the Canadian Hienz beans are pretty similar if not exactly like the British ones. I learnt that on a taste comparison vid on YT a few year's ago. So if you need them it must be cheaper to buy on line from there. But then probably 10 dollars delivery 😂
Yes indeed, I see it in my local supermarkets here in San Diego, labeled as Heinz Vegetarian Beans in a green can and made in Canada.
Marmite Peanut Butter - on Hot Buttered Toast
Golden Syrup, on porridge, on pancakes, substitute sugar in recipes with it.
I have saw on food cooking shows the hosts substituting golden syrup for sugar type ingredients, like corn syrup, white sugar, honey, etc
Where's everyone getting the peanut butter?, it disappeared from every store near me a year ago.
Terry's Chocolate Orange is a chocolate product created by Terry's in 1932 at Terry's Chocolate Works in York, England. The brand has changed ownership several times, and production was moved to Poland in 2005. Since 2018, the Terry's Chocolate Orange has been produced in Strasbourg, France, by Carambar.
Murray's is a wonderful cheesemonger in the West Village of NYC. I'd hope they import a decent selection of British cheeses!
Tadcaster is a small town near York that has a long history of making beer. It currently has three breweries - Sam Smiths, Coors and Heineken (although the Coors and Heineken plants are long-standing traditional Yorkshire breweries that have more recently been bought out by the international conglomerates). But, on a point of principle, many Yorkshire folk will boycott Sam Smiths, because the company is owned by a reactionary, mean and selfish dinosaur called Humphrey, who runs his chain of pubs and much of the town (he owns a lot of property) like some kind of feudal lord, imposing petty rules and sacking or evicting anyone who doesn't live according to his impossible standards.
For a curry sauce cheat add curry powder to your favourite instant gravy. for one that rocks your world homemade gravy with roasted meat juices and stock, then add your favourite curry blend
When I was courting my wife, she worked off Oxford Street and would buy her groceries in a supermarket in the basement in Debenhams department store. Debenhams is sadly no more. Reference Golden Syrup my wife would use it to make butterscotch sauce to have with ice cream.
Omg the Sam Smith Chocolate stout is THE BEST. I can’t believe it’s over there ❤
It's really good! We were surprised to find it.
This reminds me of how I technically can find Arizona Ice Tea over there in Europe, but the big bold "99 cents" on them is a big fat lie, because they are sold at up to 5 times that...
Yes the orange label Golden curry is quite close to a chippy curry sauce.
World Market is a good place to buy British stuff. It's a place you can pretty much always find Marmite and an OK selection of biscuits and tea. They have Yorkshire, PG Tips, etc. I love Twiglets. I'd say give Heinz Salad Cream a try. It's good as a sandwich spread and also as a salad dressing. It's got a nice tangy/sweet flavor. I was surprised at how much more expensive US prices were compared to UK prices. Nice to see a bit of Portland as well. Portland is one of my favorite cities here in the US. I lived there in the 90s and still miss it.
my favourite thing that was limited edition was the cranberry jaffa cakes that came out around christmas time
Just spread marmite peanut butter on hot buttered toast, crumpets or muffins. You could also put it on top of cheese on toast (or what you call grilled cheese) 😋
Terrys factory closed down in York now apparments next to the racecourse .Still see Terrys chocolate oranges though.
HP Sauce is the same as A1 Steak Sauce in the US - well I couldn't tell the difference anyhow. Golden syrup is the kind of thing you put on pancakes - maybe similar to Karo Syrup in US. In the US it seems that sugar as an ingredient is often replaced with corn syrup - you wont see corn syrup much in the UK but in US its everywhere - I guess because corn is a staple crop in the US.
Sorry but you forget TAXES... In all of US they put on taxes. In Europe the taxes are included
Even in the US those prices are outrageous... maybe we're lucky here in Central PA...with a large Irish population and stores that carry UK products. Wegman's has a large variety and at normal prices. Our Dollar stores even carry the digestives and Cadbury and Heinz are everywhere ( not just the PA versions). Also try Aldi or Lidl...their cheese prices and the quality are so worth it. Glad you had so much fun doing this and reliving your trip.
It seems to be PG TIps tea..that is missing in the US stores.very VERY common here in England
11:00 Colman's mustard for only 4 bucks isn't too bad honestly.
Cadbury's Snack are lovely.
And Cadbury's Fingers are a stck version.
I recommend biting a little off each end and using it like a straw for tea. It then just melts in your mouth 😋
Those Cadburys fingers aren't the British ones, notice the 'cookies' on the box, ours don't have that
Yes, I see them in my local Vons in the "fancy" cookie section along with Pepperidge Farm and the French Lu brand cookies. They are not imports, they are packaged for the US market and are made by Cadburys' parent company Mondelez specifically for the US market. Hershey only have the rights to make and distribute Cadbury candy bars, not cookies. Interestingly a while back Blue Bunny distributed Cadbury branded Ice Cream treats, again as they weren't candy bars Hershey were not involved.
Tadcaster is just outside Leeds on the way to York
Double Cream is different from Clotted cream - and why is not refridgrated?
Have been enjoying your vlogs for awhile now. I thought you would emigrate to the UK, what made you return to the US?
I just bought some of those Cadbury Oreo cream cookies, and they are nice! By the way that cream should be in a chiller! Looks like it's gone off. 🤔
Branston Beans are so much nicer than Heinz, Heinz are too watery now.
Also if you ever find them ' Gold ' biscuits are delicious, they're a crunchy bisscuit with a Caramac flavour coating, and the Cadbury Snack you picked out are lovely too, milk chocolate coated shortbread.
Golden syrup has many uses, its used a lot in flapjacks which you should definitely try, they're a sweet,oatmeal bar.
Branstons are my favourite to eat on their own. If mixed in a stew the economy brands are fine.
Yep, I also prefer Branston beans!
Interesting, Heinz used to be stodgy and a lot were broken. I think I used to prefer Asda beans but I've not lived in UK since 2011.
I've got a pack of Gold biscuits bars in my cupboard right now. Bought last Saturday from a Home Bargains store near me. Great with a cuppa, 😄🇬🇧
I love, love, love, Fever Tree tonic water. It really does elevate the gin. I cannot go back to using schweppes.
taylors of harrogate tea, or ringtons are quality brands.
Treat clotted cream, double cream, single cream. Like the milk it comes from, keep in a fridge and if it lasts more than a week it isn't cream, it's the chemical and preservatives that are in them you don't, want, has to be fresh.
Yorkshire tea is the preferred tea it's great
The prices shown on the shelves will be subject to tax at the till, i think?
Re: Tea - Yorkshire or the slightly better (to me) Yorkshire Gold. Same company - just that the gold is a little more expensive...Twinnings do a lovely English Breakfast...I wouldn't bother with any of the other bigger brands (PG Tips etc).
if something is made in the uk you can always tell if the first number in the barcode is a 5 then it is uk made
Thats cool. Whenever you feel like a UK night in, make some fish and chips, grab some original British snacks, make a brew and chill watching Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Looks like you got the UK weather there too 😁.
I think Terry's Chocolate Orange is originally by Terry's of York, England. They probably have factory's making it in other countries too and they just happened to get the French ones in 🍊
In the uk we dont have norfolk manor, seems to be an import company's brand
Maybe it's just me, but I've always thought Peanut butter as a savoury spread. When I was introduced to it as a child my mom would spread it on hot buttered toast ( or Crumpets) and sprinkle a little salt on top... well packets of salted peanuts are a thing in Britain, so it's not much of a stretch to associate peanuts with savoury.
I have tried marmite peanut butter, though it wasn't something I fell in love with which is curious because I love Marmite ( or yeast extract as most supermarket brands call it and I love crunchy peanut butter, just not together.
Golden syrup is good with pancakes or Porridge or drizzled over hot sponge pudding with custard.
That makes sense. In the US, peanut butter is synonymous with jelly, so while it can be savoury here, I would say it's considered with sweets much more frequently.
Toasted Warburton crumpet, generous dollop of marmite peanut butter spread on top,sweet chilli sauce,wang a fried egg on top and grated mature cheddar.🤤
Batchelors peas are made in England and Ireland, I prefer the British ones, there is a taste difference.
10 can of hienz beans were £9 today in Tesco btw
I live in North Wales but miss a few things I got when living in other areas of the UK, best kebab I ever tried was from a Syrian restaurant in Brighton, their Shawarma kebab was just amazing, also I really miss the Balti houses I used to enjoy in Stoke-on-Trent which all made huge Naan breads in proper Tandoor ovens, also from Stoke I miss Staffordshire oatcakes, they're delicious with cheese and bacon!
Same here. A stokie living in north Wales. You can get oatcakes in morrisons (bread aisle). Not the same as the fresh ones but OK for emergencies 😂
English guy living in Canada for 20 yrs hope you Two do a series in Canada
Double cream and clotted cream are two different things.
Check out recipes for golden pudding to use golden syrup. It's like an upside down cake. Had have it with Bird's custurd. I've only ever had peanut butter as a savoury spread. On hot buttered toast.
Definitely Yorkshire tea especially Yorkshire Gold! Don’t leave home without it. Ha! I can’t find it in the US except at proper Brit shops so I usually buy it on Amazon. It’s still $13-15 for 80 bags.
I love old engine oil but I have only ever had it on draught.
I see the beans basically cost the same as they do here in the UK.
The Mars corporation biscuits are in Sainsbury’s! Galaxy cookies I haven’t seen so many varieties!
They all have a 4x mark up. Shocking.
Yup. In South Africa 🇿🇦, imported goods are hectically expensive. During sanctions ( pre 1994) we couldn't get any of it. Now, with the exchange rate..🤷♀️🤣
We usually pronounce it as Donna kebab rather than doner
Clotted cream should be in the fridge section
I find the best chip shop curry at home, is Golden Fry sauce granules Chip Shop Curry, It come in th tubs like bisto gravey ganules, Just add water, make as much or a little as you want, it is produced in yorkshire , id you good it you will find it easy, I use the purple colour one
Marmite peanut butter on toast and with cheese, those were not our Terry's choc orange, that packaging was very different
Yorkshire tea is a popular brand of tea , AND there is also pg tea. You can put golden syrup in a pudding ,this HOW I make mine .graes a dish and put golden syrup in the bottom then put a sponge mix on top and bake .when done leave to cool for a bit ,then tern it OUT, AND HAVE with custard or ice cream . TAKE CARE AND all the best. Hope thet will give you some iders, or make flapjack and porridge oat's and butter. From sue in coventry UK. 😄😄👍👍
