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.

      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.

    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.

    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 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.

      @stevieinselby 4 месяца назад +1

      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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @TheMagicGeekdom
      @TheMagicGeekdom  5 месяцев назад +1

      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.
