Have you tried Flying Saucers yet? They're like communion wafers but with a sugar rush. You haven't had a communion wafer? its kinda like a Flying Saucer but holier.
I remember buying 4 blackjacks or 4 fruit salads or a sherbet kali dip or a penny arrow bar (toffee) for 1 (old) penny at the shop on way to school,yes,that makes me old, aaah
What about the wagon wheels they've shrunk (don't believe the makers 😀) even the late Prof Hawking said so although his theory that black holes were involved is debatable 😀
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.
Black Jacks! OMG you have to do the whole pack and turn your tongue black. Its the law!| Its also the law to bite the heads off Jelly Babies and swap them over. as you've been in the UK two years you also need to start calling it "sweets" and not candy ;) lol
blackjack vodka is to die for and easy to make. just take a bottle of vodka and drop a load of blackjacks in let them dissolve you might want to put it through a coffee filter as its a bit cloudy but i don't bother then just drink the vodka
When I was a kid my friend's mum used to work at the sweet factory where they made black jacks and she told us they were made out of floor sweepings of all the leftover sweets lol
Modern Black Jacks are ok, but not as good as the old ones you used to get, four for one old penny. Also Fruit salad, again four for one old penny. Our local Post Office had a whole counter full of these types of sweets, your sixpence pocket money went a long way.
Great, you found some classics there. I remember going to the sweet shop and buying four blackjacks and fruit salad for 1d (that'a an old penny) - but that just shows my age!
I think I'm in love. Us Brits are blessed to have you. Also, get your arse' down to a Gregg's and try a steakbake. Or a cheese and onion pasty. Or the sausage rolls. Or anything that they bake. There's a reason the UK has more Gregg's outlets than Mcdonalds.
Slicing makes for easier eating, more ladylike in this case. Melton Mowbray pork pies not nearly as good as normal pork pies IMO. You'd like ham and egg pie I think. Brown sauce or mustard goes well with them.
alanrtment porter: And for the fact food generally is not so readily available up North and thus people have to eat pork pies quickly in case someone snatches it away. Plus also the concept of cutlery is to them a novelty.
not this englishman, the only 2 things i really can't eat is Custard (Devon being the worst) and peanut butter. though with all things there is an exception, Triffle. despite having lots of custard in it, can eat those no problem.
Things like the pork pie are really stuff that is cut into quarters (or eigths) and eaten with other stuff (cheese or salad or scotch eggs etc). If you're eating a large piece then it really needs a relish (like branston) or some mustard.
Instead of a chomp, try a curly wurly. It's the same but just more spaced out. You'll know what I mean when you get one. Tip for eating pork pies and scotch eggs - cut them in to slices first, that way you can get straight to the filling without a huge bite.
For proper traditional British sweets you need to try anything by Swizzels and also hunt down some uncle joes mint balls but they may be difficult to find down south. Love your videos! 😃
Tunnock's teacakes are best frozen and eaten on a summer's afternoon. (They don't go hard, they go like Mr Whippy ice cream... with a biscuit base covered in chocolate... Mmmmm...)
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.
John Smith : you took the words(sweets, toffees) right out of my mouth! Imagine, 960 black jacks for a £1!!; Toffee shops with their penny chews and aniseed balls and Palm bars and gobstoppers and lucky bags, and, and.......!!!
The pennies were admittedly hard earned; from one 'rich' kid (with holes in his pants; Jeeves' day off), to a not so fortunate, they were a waste of money, but we lived in hope.
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.
Scotch Egg doesn't mean it is Scottish, scotching is when you wrap something up in bashed minced up meat not sure if it has to have breadcrumbs and fried also to be scotched but its something like that.
Scotch eggs were invented in London as a convenient food for people who were traveling by carriage. Sort of an all in one portable meal. Scotched refers to the method of cooking.
We dont call it Candy we say sweets or sweeties,Cadburys cream egg is the best. You should try some of our regional dishes like the Middlesborgh Parmo,Scottish Clootie dumpling,Battered Mars bar,,Haggis,White pudding,Edinbourgh rock,Scottish Tablet.Cornish pastie,Clotted cream scones,Welsh Barm brack,Welsh rarebit. Spotted dick,Jam rollypolly,Toad in the hole,Langoustines,Scampi, You have barely scratched the surface of British cuisine ....enjoy!
Great video. Larger pork pies like the one you had are usually cut into pieces and you only have a couple of slices with other foods, maybe as part of a buffet. But I can eat a whole one because I love them. Scotch eggs are lovely, but they can give you heartburn. All the best.
To be fair, with pork pies and scotch are either really, really good or really, really bad. Matchmaker not only come in mint, they also come in orange and salted caramel. Can't believe you didn't like the custard slice, they are awesome.
Hahahaha! Oh come now, they aren't that bad. Anyway, try fruit salads next time. You'll have the same problem getting the paper wrapper off the sweet, but I think you'll like how they taste. :)
I remember them as the penny sweets from the newsagents confectionary section, something to add to your little paper bag from the pick and mix section. That brings back memories, as does seeing sherbet dip in Tesco today.
I'm from memphis tenesse USA and im staying in London for 6 months. You got to try traditional London food pie n mash and liquor I'm going to miss that when i go home
Scotch eggs done right are actually really god. Ploughman's lunch with Branston/ploughman's pickles was one of my usual go-to meals just because there were opportunities for varations of meats, cheeses and vegetables/salad. I was also addicted to steak and kidney pies.
I think it's incredible that a seed from the Anise plant tastes almost identical to the root of the Liquorice plant, even though they are completely different plants!, I must be crazy because I love them both :)
I googled aniseed afterwards, very surprised it was different from liquorice but definitely tastes the same! And yes, you must be crazy!! Thanks for watching :)
I'm with you on the crazy then because I also love them both. Black Jacks and anniseed balls were two of my favourite sweets as a child and I can easily kill a box of Liquorice Allsorts (leaving aside the brown square one which I still havent figured out why that one alone is disgusting)
Tina Miles: Yes, 6d converted directly to 2 1/2p. In 1949 the price of a Mars Bar was 4d but I were not old-enough at the time to recall them being that price.
4 Matchmakers in 1 serving??? I eat 4 at one time! It's so easy to eat the whole box in one go. I like how you ditched the savouries so quickly for the chocolate.
DickTurpin the quality doesn't change the fact that they're delicious dude. I've had a lot of pasties and custard slices and Gregg's have the best. Posh doesn't equal better. Also everyone knows the cheese and onion pasties are the best thing at Gregg's.
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.
GET OUT for not liking Black Jack!! lol :p I always referred to the 'shrimps' as 'ears' that's just my weird childhood. I still enjoy the odd bag of ears ;)
Adventures and Naps :) A cheaper replacement for my Starbucks beloved peppermint mocha. I never have my coffee other way now though - a real addict here.
Well depends on how strong you like the flavor. If I want a hint of mint 1.5 stick is enough .. if I want it stronger I will throw 2 sticks in it .. I tend to break them to pieces so it is easier to melt and I use coffee frother :). Also I use a good sized mug, so not the smaller ones.
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!
i'd say visit York...the place where chocolate, A DRINK, was first solidified into what we have today. York in it's past was THE centre of the universe for chocolate. We have a chocolate museum (among a few others...this place being very old n choc full o history). Man, this place used to smell frickin awesome in the colder months when warmer air wasn't lifting the factory smell up up and away... . . the sweet sweet smell of sugar being processed and chocolate being made pervaded the night air !
I always feel guilty when eating a scotch egg knowing that it would have hatched into a scottish person
You win the Internets today. 😂😂😂
Ewww, where did the scotch egg come from then?
What came first....the scottsman or the egg
Och mon, war dyafink de haggis come frae?
Why worry, there are lots of them in Scotland.
"New and Improved" in the UK means "we took this thing your have enjoyed all you life and have now, to save 2p, f*cked it right up"

For a counterpoint to the evil Blackjack you should try his good natured nemesis, the Fruit Salad!

definitely, plus some nice crisp salad and a glass of something nice!

It's 00:30 atm and I'm gagging for Bakewell Tart now

You guys need to knock a mix up then roll over and sleep 👍👍 nobody is judging you 💦💦💦
Yeah, but you won't pay attention to yourself because you'll be too distracted by watching people eat food.
If you like Matchmakers, you'll love 'After Eight' choc mints.!
After Eights are the bomb but you can find them easily here in the States so I'm guessing you can get them in Canada as well.
metafis I love both of those!
They're both made in my factory. I hate them all now!!!!!
I said that too
Pork pie ... bites and... just a little bit more! 😂
Try cutting the pie with a knife and not bite directly into it!😂
You are adorable!
Scotch egg too! Easier to eat.
Bakewell tarts! Cherries and almonds. I'm completely with you.
Highly recommend a visit to the original bakewell pudding shop in Bakewell in the Peak District. They are delicious!
I was gonna say the same, as it's about 45mins from where I am. Well worth the visit
came to the comment section to see if anyone said this lol
its still weird to me that theyre completely different things
Cadbury has changed since kraft foods took it over. It is not as good. And UK sweets in general are not as good as they were in the 1970's and 80's.
Kraft of course,being an American company.
What about the wagon wheels they've shrunk (don't believe the makers 😀) even the late Prof Hawking said so although his theory that black holes were involved is debatable 😀
I bought some Cadbury’s before kraft took over, there’s no change it’s just pshycological

They don't taste the same to me. I hate liquorice, but I like aniseed.
Marmite is ace.
I'm with you on the crazy then because I also love them both. Black Jacks and anniseed balls were two of my favourite sweets as a child and I can easily kill a box of Liquorice Allsorts (leaving aside the brown square one which I still havent figured out why that one alone is disgusting)
Remember the days when a chomp was 10 pence
booby crispy: Never heard of a Chomp but do remember when a Mars Bar cost 6d.
i remember the days when mars bars cost 6d old money which is i think about 2 1/2 pence or 3p as we no longer have 1/2p's lol
Tina Miles: Yes, 6d converted directly to 2 1/2p. In 1949 the price of a Mars Bar was 4d but I were not old-enough at the time to recall them being that price.
i believe you lol
What about when a Freddo was 5p?
Im so pleased that you like cherry bakewells!
Try Green and Black chocolate next time. Bloody expensive but worth it.
Yes, I'm puzzled why people eat that cheap stuff. If you're going to have chocolate it's worth buying the real stuff.
I think only old people like liquorice
4 Matchmakers in 1 serving??? I eat 4 at one time! It's so easy to eat the whole box in one go.
I like how you ditched the savouries so quickly for the chocolate.
A vanilla slice from Asda?? No wonder you didn't like it. Go to Greggs for a real one
Paul Martin seconded. Also the only place you should buy a pasty.
DickTurpin Asda is not an independent baker
DickTurpin the quality doesn't change the fact that they're delicious dude. I've had a lot of pasties and custard slices and Gregg's have the best. Posh doesn't equal better. Also everyone knows the cheese and onion pasties are the best thing at Gregg's.
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.
Paul Martin I mean I don't think any food should first be tried from Asda...
You enjoy bakewell tarts and scotch eggs, you are definitely one of us now, and we happily accept you!
Warm, freshly cooked scotch eggs are the best, but if you're buying from a shop co-op do a nice one but the best are M&S.
Try an Eccles cake, you will not regret it
Try a Banbury Cake instead, its nearer to you and they pre-exist Eccles cakes
How about Chorley Cakes?
Amazing video. Hope you didn't get sick eating soo many different things :-)
Custard will take over the earth
Tom Douglas
It already has; ruclips.net/video/Mxd_LJr0BWg/видео.html
"OMG its huge", I'v heard that so many times.
Diabetes, here I come...... ;-)
Nope, Black Jacks are not black liquorice. Take it from BonBon. I know these things!
Crumpet/scone with a cuppa tea
Blackjack isnt licourice its aniseed
Aniseed isn't liquorice,
And vice versa!
Glycyrrhiza glabra isn't Apiaceae,
I was so bothered by this
Both are disgusting so they have that in common.
One mans meat is another mans VX nerve agent.
GET OUT for not liking Black Jack!! lol :p I always referred to the 'shrimps' as 'ears' that's just my weird childhood. I still enjoy the odd bag of ears ;)
lol! My matchmakers goes in to my coffee ... try melt them in if you are in to peppermint coffee
That's an incredible idea!!
Adventures and Naps :) A cheaper replacement for my Starbucks beloved peppermint mocha. I never have my coffee other way now though - a real addict here.
The orange ones are nicer, especially in chai
What?? How many do you put in your coffee?
Well depends on how strong you like the flavor. If I want a hint of mint 1.5 stick is enough .. if I want it stronger I will throw 2 sticks in it .. I tend to break them to pieces so it is easier to melt and I use coffee frother :). Also I use a good sized mug, so not the smaller ones.
Get some Branston Pickle or Piccalilli for your pork pie and scotch egg.
try haggis
On the list! :)
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!
This girl absolutly rocks. Canada's lose. Its been mentioned before..you should be on mainstream tv.
That is way too kind!
You should visit Cadbury world
Definitely!!!
Gone down hill
i'd say visit York...the place where chocolate, A DRINK, was first solidified into what we have today.
York in it's past was THE centre of the universe for chocolate. We have a chocolate museum (among a few others...this place being very old n choc full o history).
Man, this place used to smell frickin awesome in the colder months when warmer air wasn't lifting the factory smell up up and away... . .
the sweet sweet smell of sugar being processed and chocolate being made pervaded the night air !
Cadbury's is crap since it was bought out.
I won't buy any of their stuff any more.
