      In the UK producers actually spend time and money making economy food less appealing to encourage customers to buy the vastly overpriced food instead. It's similar to the way the Tory government spends time and money making poor people less happy to encourage voters to be more capitalist.

      steve Morgan experience - It's not psychological, they literally changed most of the products from Dairy Milk to average chocolate. That's why things like Chomp and Fudge say Cadbury but not Dairy Milk anymore. The normal Dairy Milk bars are also different, they melt very differently so you can't use them to cook with so easily anymore.

    Good vid. I enjoyed your reaction to the foods you really liked. As to Blackjacks, I am frankly amazed they are still around. I grew up in the mid to late 1950s and these were usually sold loose along with a fruity tasting version called Fruit Salad. Most of the UK were still pretty poor and these sweets were 4 for 1 penny. That is an old penny which had 240 pennies to the pound. Brings back happy childhood days of kids poking black tongues at each other. The fruity version were strictly for wimps as they didn't dye your tongue.
    Other things to try; Cornish pasty, Jam and whipped cream scone, fried egg sarnie.

    The correct way to eat a Jelly Baby is thus:- lay it down on its back, squash the stomach with your forefinger, then squash its head. On no account do you crush its feet, that is uncivilized. This action will expose the gooey innards of the torso and head. Bite the head off first to enjoy an instant hit of white powder and gooeyness. Repeat for torso, then onto the rigidness of the uncrushed feet. Utter perfection, but it must be Bassetts, not some cheap Asda rip off.

      Greggs is a "real one" ha ha just shows how foolish the British public are brainwashed into brand names Greggs are the worst bakers around not even real "bakers" a lot of their products are part made, frozen then "warmed up" in store If people knew their stuff they would realise that taste doesn't mean "better" if anything it means worse as that aste comes from somewhere, Greggs sausage rolls for example aren't even real meat, its processed meat squeezed into the pastry with the same thing people use to put cream shapes on cakes. Yes I know its hard to find a independant baker anymore but you know how cheeky Greggs are? In UDDINGSTON the home of Tunnocks they opened a store 2 doors away from the Tunnocks cafe/bakery! That is pure greed and cheek, and in Glasgow they put a firm that had been there 98 years out of business because people foolishly went to Greggs despite it being lower quality.

      When you're trying Haggis, remember to take the outer "skin" off after cooking, before eating! A real Haggis uses a sheep's stomach to hold it together for cooking, it isn't meant for eating, if you do eat it, you'll be a vegetarian for at least 6 months afterwards lol. These days though, almost all haggis comes in a synthetic "stomach" instead. Some Haggis and a fried egg on a roll/bap/bun with a little bit of brown sauce is my favourite way of eating it, I have it for breakfast at least 4 days a week!
