I so hope that your enthusiasm for life is an 'always on, it's just who I am' thing and not a 'making a video' thing. It's lovely to see someone who seems to be enjoying and making the most of everyday.
Hey Alanna, hope you are well and enjoying the warmer weather. There's something joyous about seeing the expression on your hungry face when eating food. It's nowhere near as picturesque as that one but we have a place like that, although it's more of a farmer's market than a supermarket. It's also really expensive but worth it for a treat. Cheers for the video. :-)
You should have a day out in Rye !! It is just over the border in Sussex but I think it's the nicest place I have ever been !!! It's all cobbled with beach stones and really old black and white houses etc , and you would get a good day out video from there! And it's one of the cinque port !
@Nicky L Keelham makes me laugh, there were 2, one in Keelham itself and another on the outskirts of Skipton. I believe the owners, who were part of the same family fell out so now the one in Keelham is now called Robertshaw's and the one in Skipton is still called Keelham. The mind boggles, both fantastic shops though.
I've been to quite a few places like this and it seems to me they are often located in low footfall areas relying on tourists so they cant make money by selling large amounts and have to survive with increased prices. Result: lots of people looking around but few purchases.
The egg in the home made scotchbegg looked so rich and organic. I liked the fact that you had the bottle opener stashed in your back pocket ready for the cider.
///I liked the fact that you had the bottle opener stashed in your back pocket ready for the cider./// Given how much this girl puts away, I'm surprised it wasn't on a lanyard. :D
And happy summer to you too, Alanna! Glad you enjoyed it. The sweets/confectionery/candy part of the food hall looked amazing, especially seeing as I am a bit of a sweet tooth!
This was a 2 in 1 summer triamph! 👋 It started out a nice afternoon out with our fav 'toober😀 And then a yummy 😋 taste test. Cheer up Tuesdays!!! What's not to like 🤗
Hi Alanna, the difference between supermarket and fresh home cooked products. I remember watching a cookery program with the late Gary Rhodes where he cooked a large pork pie and scotch eggs, and some vegan options. People were trying samples and enjoying everything but, the best comment was from a man who said “WOW! These must be good, my wife has been vegan for over twenty years, I’ve not seen her eat meat since she was 13 or 14, and she has just eaten one of your scotch eggs and a slice of pork pie!’ And there she was red faced enjoy seconds.
Renato Cuomo the guy who started the food hall is from Italy, so he really cared about quality food, he would always get loads of top quality unusual veg and fruit. He built the food hall up from that. I always look for something I've not tried before. This weekend I got red bananas and fresh green almonds. He used to have a fish mongers (Herman's Plaice) where the food stalls now are. They moved to Standard Quay by the creek in Faversham. If you like fish they're worth a try.
My sister lives in Faversham, her husband grew up there, I've been there a few times, but I've never heard of Macknade's. I'll be sure to ask them about it and find out why they've never mentioned it. Perhaps I will visit. Thank you for teaching us about it.
Worked for a time in Faversham. One of the really unspoiled towns in Kent, surrounded by suburbs and housing estates, but they didn't gut the town for another identical high street shopping centre in the 1960s.
Haha, great reaction to the scotch egg! =D I got something similar at Maltby market in Bermondsey, London - I think it was deep fried with a gooey yolk like yours. However, it was more expensive - I think £10 for two!
Great video, random story, I had a minor operation yesterday and had the random thought beforehand of “hmm I hope I get to see the new A&N video later because it’ll mean I woke up” (i mean that much more lightheartedly than it sounds 😂😂) so it was even more of pleasure than usual to see. That cheese counter looked amazing I wouldn’t have been trustworthy there, plus I think we all died a bit inside when you cut open that Tesco scotch egg!! Thanks for another great vid xx
Also see a Tesco advertisement around the line 'if you're desperate and hungry'. Inspired me to ditch the local supermarkets this weekend and drive to a more rural grocers and delicatessen I know, even if it costs a little more.
Brilliant review of a wonderful place! 😆I've loved my visits to Macknade's in Faversham, but have to visit infrequently as there is so much to tempt me! And now they are open very close to me in Ashford, I'm doomed! 😳😄 It's good to see real handmade food, thank you Alannah!
I was very surprised to see you come away with no Cheese ! I guess you just put that straight in the fridge for later ? These type of “farmers market’ stores are all over the country but always SOO expensive. Glad you’re settled into your new place
I love Macknade. Can always find something there to get the taste buds going. There used to be a wonderful little fish stall next door too, Herman's Plaice, but he has moved now in to Faversham, not far from the brewery.
Hi Alanna, Really enjoyed watching...great review! Loved the casual appearance of the opener...nice one! 👍😂 Thank you for the outing! Take really good care, stay safe! Much love Kathy x 💖
If you are into cider and Farm Shops, then you have to go Middle Farm in Firle, East Sussex. It has a barn that houses the "National Cider and Perry Collection" and they press their own apples. I know it is a bit out of your way, but I assure you, it is worth it. Not sure what its hours are at the moment but I would say worth the trip sometime one summer weekend. Ever had Perry before? - brilliant stuff!!
I haven't tried any of the things you tried! I've never had a pork pie, a scotch egg or cider lol, im glad you liked them tho! That market looked really cool! It's always nice seeing you explore new places! This video was really nice! Thank you so much for making it :)
Pork pies and Scotch eggs can be dire, but good quality versions are a class apart. The same goes for cider. You can get a couple of litres for around three quid for stuff that tastes like antifreeze, but a decent cider is delicious.
I like Booths supermarkets. There are only about twenty something of them, and they are all in the North of England, so I don’t often get the chance to use them.
Alanna you’re so funny. You are correct that craft bakers, etc cost a little more but are so good for you and far exceed the taste of regular supermarket
Do you live in Kent? I live right on the border of Greater London and Kent and so have the greatest city in the world and the garden of England on my doorstep! Hope you're having a wonderful time in our wonderful country 😀
I think you’ve discovered artisan stuff is a treat to savour, in almost all cases stuff that’s hand made will be a bit more expensive but the reward is noticeable. Maybe when you do another artisan adventure you set a budget and see within reason what you can find. There’s plenty of fine food and drink to explore. Make sure you keep a record or a few notes and gradually explore Kent which is the garden of England.
I do not know why - maybe because I also love and appreciate good food - watching your food related videos. Especially seeing your cheerful face after a delicious meal. Cheers, lovely Alanna! XOXOXO
🇨🇦 I’ve been watching your videos for a while now so it came as no surprise you had a bottle opener in your back pocket 😃. Another great video Alanna. 💚
The marguez sausages, pasties and runny scotch eggs are unreal from macknades 👌 Although you should have stuck that scotch egg in the oven for 15/20 mins (they're even better) the yolk stays runny!
It’s thanks to me that Apple Maps has the correct location for Macnade’s. Previously it would have dumped you in the middle of Faversham. My greatest contribution to society😀
My wife and I have been to the shop several times, but never eaten there before. Thanks to your video, today we tried Taco Bill there. Thank you for the recommendation. We also bought some meat pie and scotch eggs, which we'll try later.
For myself, one of life's great delights is hearing a Canadian utter the words "out" and "about" etc. It's so different from Americans or Brits. I've tried many times to replicate it the way Canadians say it, and fail miserably. I first went to Canada in 1991 and stayed at St. Catharine's (Toronto State?) and those were the two words that always stuck with me as being so differently pronounced from other words and phrases. Just love the Canadian accent!! I may just have to record those 2 words spoken by Alanna and have them play back on a loop - and no, I'm not a weirdo!
Happy Summer Alanna ! Hey, that place sounds worthy of a regular trip out there - your budget permitting 😊 Loved the single scotch egg juggling thing you did, could be the start of a new career. cheers !
looks like a cool place Alanna, more important would you shop there again, unfortunately we dont have them here along the coast, but looks good all the same, nice to see you out and about, hope your enjoying the lovely weather :-)
Whilst watching your video, I recalled that sometimes my mum would make her own beef burgers. So I've come up with this combination to mix in a bowl. Minced beef, chopped onion and grated beetroot which is bonded together with two whisked eggs. This is then rolled into balls and then squeezed to form a beef burger shape in a frying pan. Even though I stopped eating meat over 30 odd years ago, I still like its smell, just but not the look. All the very best, Trevor from East London.
Before I stopped using alcohol I used to enjoy a glass of cider. The big name brands are often made from apple juice concentrate but many smaller ones are from freshly pressed juice from local orchards. I used to enjoy the smoky flavour of Westons Oak Conditioned with its tannins from oak barrels. My wife likes Aspall’s Suffolk ciders. Be warned these can be over 8% alcohol so are approaching a wine strength.
You've hit the nail on the head Alanna - local luxury produce wins almost every time against larger store brands, but they are on the expensive side. I've got a couple of places similar to Macknades near me and every so often I treat myself because it's so totally worth it for the sheer taste and quality. Pre-covid there used to be a regular country market in Guildford High Street with stalls loaded with quality food from all around the South of England and I can't wait for it to come back (they even had haddock scotch eggs which were yummy!!)
Another cracking video that makes me hungry! It does just show that if you want something really tasty its worth paying a bit for a non factory product from an artisan producer. That scotch egg looked so nice. New house still looking lovely.
I know what you mean about the Scotch eggs, I got a couple (£3.50 each) from a local tearoom/cake shop near me in Washington, Tyne & Wear, OMG, compared to a supermarket egg is like night and day !
Wow, Alanna, i havent been to Macknades for years. You made my mouth water with every mouthful you took.. Get a sponsership because as i am now making plans for a shopping Trip. Xx great vid as always.
What we got from this;- 1) Alanna gets hungry, a lot, & like buying things, a lot. The perfect relationship! 2) British Farm shops are the best! 3) Her partner got to eat a supper of 'not the bottom of the barrel, grey blobby meal' of Tesco leftover scotch egg & pork pie!
That food looked amazing!!! Never been to Macknade's (feel like I need to see this cider wall myself lol), it reminds me of a few places I've been in Surrey. They're great for a wander & you can get some really tasty stuff but it's so expensive! Definitely a nice occasional treat... Getting hungry thinking about it! 😂
Britain is unusual it has quite a range of supermarkets from Waitrose down to Asda - and the price reflects that Asda on a budget fine, Waitrose if you can afford it fine. France in comparison has two city major city supermarkets Carrefour Monoprix - and it has small traditional shops and out of town.
In my opinion Melton Mowbray pork pie, is the king of Pies! Something maybe you can look into with some foods is that certain cheeses and food like a “Melton Mowbray Pork Pie” they are regionally protected and can only be made within a certain distance of that place. Love your videos!
The scotch egg looked like a burford brown, you can buy them in Tesco and M&S, yolks go from that rich orange upto red. For cheap scotch egg drown them in Worcestershire sauce.
Alanna thanks for this week's video ..The independent shops/ food halls are great but can be expensive. .They have unusual stuff..Also you got sunburnt, what next..
Haha... I had 2 Scotch eggs and a mega salad (including tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions and mixed lettuce leaves) for my dinner all washed down with homemade lemonade. Pork pies, mmm. In fact, any pie, cold meat or hot are ALL welcome. :)

Tesco’s finest. “It’s not bottom of the barrel”. I see a great career in marketing for you!

best approached by train - car parking is difficult
Pork Pies and Scotch Eggs are amazing with various kinds of mustard, apple sauce or salad cream.
That scotch egg, the fancy pants expensive one, looked bloody amazing.
So good!
One of the top visitor destinations in a County that contains Leeds Castle, Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. It’s a wonderful venue.
How can you tell when you're in a British Farm Shop? When you can't afford to buy anything.
😂
That's so true. Four quid for a loaf of bread! When something is marketed as "artisan" that's another indicator of it being overpriced.
@Nicky L Keelham makes me laugh, there were 2, one in Keelham itself and another on the outskirts of Skipton.

Back when I lived in the UK there used to be Grosvenor Pie which was like a combination of Scotch eggs and pork pie. Yum!
Iv'e lived in Kent all my life and never heard of this place.I will go next week because its only a few minutes down the road .Can't wait!
So glad you enjoyed your day there , please visit monthly , such a lovely place as the seasons change
I can't wait to go back!

"...and that's not just the cider talking," Aye, right! I was in Tonbridge, Kent in school way back in the 80s. I was always well fed and cared for.
Polhill garden centre in Sevenoaks next. Their shop is great, huge international section too. Food courts not bad either. Have their own butchers too.
Worked for a time in Faversham. One of the really unspoiled towns in Kent, surrounded by suburbs and housing estates, but they didn't gut the town for another identical high street shopping centre in the 1960s.
Eating and drinking those Macknade goodies make Alanna one very happy Canadian
Hi Alanna, out of all your video’s, I can honestly say, you are at your happiest when you doing a taste test video, keep up the good work, take care.

I know what you mean about the Scotch eggs, I got a couple (£3.50 each) from a local tearoom/cake shop near me in Washington, Tyne & Wear, OMG, compared to a supermarket egg is like night and day !
Great looking pie and Scotch egg. Crying out for a little piccallili.
If you want a Scotch egg from the high Street that is similar to the Macnades, go to M&S.
I'm hungry pretty early today, today too! Starting on some enchiladas and Spanish rice w/avocado & pintos w/a good Czech beer!
Another great video, Alanna! 7 out of 7 secret Kent supermarkets from me!
🥳
Wow, Alanna, i havent been to Macknades for years. You made my mouth water with every mouthful you took.. Get a sponsership because as i am now making plans for a shopping Trip. Xx great vid as always.
Thanks so much!
What we got from this;-
1) Alanna gets hungry, a lot, & like buying things, a lot. The perfect relationship!
2) British Farm shops are the best!
3) Her partner got to eat a supper of 'not the bottom of the barrel, grey blobby meal' of Tesco leftover scotch egg & pork pie!
That food looked amazing!!!
Never been to Macknade's (feel like I need to see this cider wall myself lol), it reminds me of a few places I've been in Surrey. They're great for a wander & you can get some really tasty stuff but it's so expensive! Definitely a nice occasional treat... Getting hungry thinking about it! 😂
It's so good! Apparently they've got a shop in Ashford, too!
@@AdventuresAndNaps love reading the comments and the sharing of info & jokey banter.
The sandwiches at the restaurant looked delicious! Thanks for sharing these culinary delights with us...
Thanks for watching!
Britain is unusual it has quite a range of supermarkets from Waitrose down to Asda - and the price reflects that Asda on a budget fine, Waitrose if you can afford it fine. France in comparison has two city major city supermarkets Carrefour Monoprix - and it has small traditional shops and out of town.
In my opinion Melton Mowbray pork pie, is the king of Pies! Something maybe you can look into with some foods is that certain cheeses and food like a “Melton Mowbray Pork Pie” they are regionally protected and can only be made within a certain distance of that place.
Love your videos!
The scotch egg looked like a burford brown, you can buy them in Tesco and M&S, yolks go from that rich orange upto red.
For cheap scotch egg drown them in Worcestershire sauce.
Great video as always Alanna, the pie and scotch egg looked really good. 🙂
Thank you!!
Alanna thanks for this week's video ..The independent shops/ food halls are great but can be expensive. .They have unusual stuff..Also you got sunburnt, what next..
Haha... I had 2 Scotch eggs and a mega salad (including tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions and mixed lettuce leaves) for my dinner all washed down with homemade lemonade. Pork pies, mmm. In fact, any pie, cold meat or hot are ALL welcome. :)
