I never understand why this series never uses equal matchups. Tim Tams were inspired by Penguin biscuits, so why not put Tim Tams and penguin biscuits against each other? Instead you choose a random biscuit like ginger nuts which is completely different and is destined to lose.
Its intentional, they always pick the worst British snacks to put up against other countries so they get loads of angry people commenting asking why they chose them.
@@GK_Imagimotion Most chocolate/candy/snacks people eat are from the UK. I've been to Australia, the majority of the snacks sold in their shops were British. If they wanted to pick good British snacks it would be things like Skittles, Cadbury chocolate, Starbursts, Maltesers, Kit Kats etc. They have to leave out all the good British stuff because its all been exported around the world already. Also things like meat pies are also from Britain, same with fish and chips, a lot of the actual food they eat in Australia is British.
I'm a 30 something northern Englishman and I have literally never heard of Gentleman's Relish outside of innuendo. Surely Marmite should have been the representative here? It's the same sort of product, though having tried Vegiemite (it's good, nice one AUS!), Marmite is slightly less salty. Also Ginger nuts are great but Penguins are the right competitor to Timtams (They also make good straws too). Britain was set up to fail here, but I'm always happy to watch Volk. He's great on the camera, very natural.
Volk would have been a perfect casting for a Dwarf in The Hobbit movies. His stature, his bone structure. A damn shame he wasn’t as famous as he is now
Don't disgrace Volk with that word. He enjoys, and is good at, cooking. He's more of an amateur Chef. "Foodies" are typically Instagram dorks that take pictures of everything they eat, and leave dumb Yelp reviews.
@@cloud890 ah I don't see it that way. I'm a guy in my 30s work in construction, but I love cooking, and I'd consider myself a foodie. I'm not into any that social media bollocks either, and I'm not a snob about things I like cheap and cheerful, but I also don't mind spending a bit of cash on quality if I'm eating out or cooking something good at home for my mates or my girlfriend. Didn't mean foodie as an insult at all, I'm sure he wouldn't mind being called one. As for reviews I might stick one on Google if somewhere is really good, but if somewhere was really shit I wouldn't leave a review no matter how bad, cos bad reviews can ruin someone's living and take food out of their kids mouths. It's alright to be a normal straight male who enjoys cooking and eating good food as a hobby in today's world. Take a chill pill mate 😂
@@GM-tw4el lol I was over exaggerating. There's nothing wrong with enjoying good food. I just don't understand the goofballs that sit there with their phone out and spend 10 minutes every course trying to get a good shot of their food for their Instagram page instead of just enjoying the experience.
@1:50 I learned this 20 years ago from Natalie Imbruglia on the Graham Norton show, Penguins make an acceptable substitution. I might have used Tea too, haha.
I highly recommend whittaker’s chocolate if you ever go back out. Genuinely the best chocolate i’ve ever had, and as a brit i’d like to think our range of chocolate is pretty solid
Missed such an opportunity. Tim Tam vs Penguin. Vegemite vs Marmite. Cheese Twisties vs Cheese Nik Naks. Fairy Bread vs Marmalade Sandwich (ode to Paddington).
In terms of culinary knowledge, us Aussies are probably bottom tier even below the English but one thing I am proud of is the TimTam slam. It's Australia's magnum opus.
Culinary knowledge isn't that impressive if that knowledge leads you to serving baked beans in every dish... Whether or not our knowledge is better we still have way better food than they do. Fresher produce, higher food safety standards, more variety, Sydney is known for having the highest quality Thai food on earth... Better than Thailand.
@@lucydog3376 lol, such a bad take. I am British and would never eat baked beans outside of having a full English breakfast. London is also well known for having an amazing food scene.
As soon as them pickled onion chips came out and the twisties weren't the classic cheese or chicken flavour i knew he'd pick em. I had pickle flavour pringles one day and they were pretty good
It's a Sydney, Middle Eastern people accent. Mediterranean as well. I'm not sure if it is politically correct to say anymore, but it is an Aussie wog accent.
Rahman flavour crisps, what evil genius came up with that concept? Definitely sounds like a bit of me , they look like NikNaks too so with the added crunchiness factor as well sounds like a no brainer 👍🏽
the only issue with a lot of these is the 2 items are not even comparable.. yes ginger nuts are english and timtams are aussie, but we would have equivalents of both in both places
I could watch hours of Volkanovski talking about anything. He absolutely oozes charisma.
Same here, proper interesting character aha!
Could watch hours of Volk. But whoever is doing the fake laughter in the background needs to leave the room.
@@philconnolly628 That was pretty cringe no doubt.
its sad hes washed af tho
I'm sure that's not the only thing he oozes
Finally someone actually willing to try everything properly and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Great watch and a great guy 👍🏼
Volk is the man indeed! In and outside the octagon!
I never understand why this series never uses equal matchups.

I feel like its just for engagement knowing people are gonna be commenting about it
Because they love ragebaiting
Could of done Vegemite vs Marmite as well
I swear at this point it's engagement bating for comments for extra 💸 and it's working cause there's been a comment about this for years
don't take life so seriously. Who cares was an Aussie UFC fighter thinks about food? If you like Penguins, keep eating them you emotional wreck.
I'm always impressed at how these guys manage to choose the worst snacks
The snacks that no normal Brit would lol
Its intentional, they always pick the worst British snacks to put up against other countries so they get loads of angry people commenting asking why they chose them.
Yeah marmite for English is always on as a snack war very depressing
Come on. Just be honest, some things are good, but most British food sucks mate.
There is a reason why pretty much nobody knows any British meals.

Ladbible: Vegemite for the Aussies vs something most British people has ever seen or heard of 👍
Marmite. Promite mate
@@ryanclayton6496he means the gentleman’s relish bro
Yeah, I'm convinced people know Gentleman's Relish more for being a confusing Cards Against Humanity card than a consumable substance 😂
tims tam’s against Ginger Nuts? Surely Penguins would of been a better match up😂
Penguins are technically Tim tams
Sportbible picking the worst and most disgusting UK snacks they could find
Even a bourbon 😂
Producers laughing at everything he’s saying even when he’s not trying to be funny, sport/lad bible are some gimps
@@MikeNolan59 big mike chill just some slap stick humour 😂

42 same here
They'd do marmite for New Zealand we love marmite only weak mfs don't like marmite
They literally picked the most BS UK food to compare
It is superb innuendo though.
@@yolosubmarine Better than it is a spread!
Marzipan is the word he was looking for with the kipling
True but Marzipan is almond flavour, producer was right first time 😂
Yep it is marzipan and its fucking disgusting
Which is almond..
The Space Invader crisp looked exactly like Volk 😂 7:30
Just commented this then scrolled down and seen this 😂 100% true.
It does
🤣🤣
Volk would have been a perfect casting for a Dwarf in The Hobbit movies. His stature, his bone structure. A damn shame he wasn’t as famous as he is now
I triple dare you to call him a dwarf to his face 😂
In fighting world he is but in normies world he’s not
Heard enough, Alex vs Sauron on short notice.
Great guest, he clearly appreciates food!
One of the humblest people you’ll see
He's the goat
Love Alex but when he says "yous" it does my head in!!
@@matrix35 Aussie slang
He's got a youtube channel for cooking. He's always making good stuff. He's proper into his grub.
Finally someone watchable
Volk is actually a bit of a foodie. He posts alot of cooking videos and his stuff looks pretty good!

Why not Penguins vs. Tim Tams and Marmite vs. Vegemite? What the hell is Gentlemen’s Relish?
I've never even seen this gentlemens relish and I'm 33 and do the food shopping.
Should have been Penguins vs Tim Tams. Marmite vs Vegemite
I love timtams. An australian friend I met on the game put me on them. Volk just changed the game with the milk/coffee hack, it’s so satisfying.
not an UFC fan per se, but his passion and curiosity hits home! Love love love❤
In these uk snackwars they always use british food what no1 in britain actually eats😂
Yeah like what even is gentleman's relish
For the first 5 years of watching Volk fight I had no idea how likeable he is. Love him
Did you watch with your eyes closed and the tv muted kid
@1:50 I learned this 20 years ago from Natalie Imbruglia on the Graham Norton show, Penguins make an acceptable substitution. I might have used Tea too, haha.
Tim tams are literally the best thing ever. Had em for the first time in New Zealand. Difficult to find them in the states but man are they just good
I highly recommend whittaker’s chocolate if you ever go back out. Genuinely the best chocolate i’ve ever had, and as a brit i’d like to think our range of chocolate is pretty solid
Common L from the people picking the uk snacks
His spread games on point 😂
I like this guy he is humble and nice
The space raider looked exactly like him 😂😂😂 I’m dying
Using biscuits as a straw is the only way a do it I’m 34yo 😂
I’m from the uk and weirdly enough I tried a Tim tam for the first time today and it’s clear of any uk biscuit, ate it normally unlike volk 😅
2:10 when I've decided I've dug up enough gold for the day
A Tim tam is the same as a penguin. You handed that to the Aussies
Aussies and everyone but English know what a penguin biscuit is hahahah
Tim tams are just better they're similar but no one in their right mind would chose penguins over tim tams
So happy to see this link up
Missed such an opportunity. Tim Tam vs Penguin. Vegemite vs Marmite. Cheese Twisties vs Cheese Nik Naks. Fairy Bread vs Marmalade Sandwich (ode to Paddington).
Lets fucking go volk "And all that typa staff"

Australia has some of the best restaurants in the world.
Went for it with all the food, tried a good amount. Funny and charismatic cheeky chap. Have my like Volks 💪🏻
Why not marmite & penguin those are better match ups. Poor poor poor video
I don’t think aussies know what penguin is or it may upset them cos Tim Tams is copy hahahaah
volk is such a legend more content with him plz
Not giving him the beef space raiders is criminal
I learnt about the TimTam thing and applied it to Cadbury Twirls. It’s lush!!! Thank you 🇦🇺
Volk is such a hero man, top guy
The main man Volk...been waiting so long for this I forgot it was coming 😂
Volk seems like a best bud every guy dreams of ! ❤️💪🏻
As soon as them pickled onion chips came out and the twisties weren't the classic cheese or chicken flavour i knew he'd pick em. I had pickle flavour pringles one day and they were pretty good
I love it when they love it! Dude was a riot.
He sounds Southern English, South African, and Aussie all at once
It's a Sydney, Middle Eastern people accent. Mediterranean as well. I'm not sure if it is politically correct to say anymore, but it is an Aussie wog accent.
@@chilliinsanity6898yep a very common accent in the Sydney and Wollongong areas
@@chilliinsanity6898middle eastern🤣volk is greek and macedonian mate. wogs are southern european not middle eastern
he didn’t say he was middle eastern he said it was a middle eastern accent and wog accent, which it is
@@chilliinsanity6898mate he's not from Sydney that's just how a lot of older Aussies talk especially from towns like Wollongong
Volk is absolutely brilliant, proper charisma for once on here
What a class energy volk brought! Fair play
Alex could talk about a door and make it so interesting man’s a legend great video 😃🔥👌👍
Love this dude. This has been my favorite one!😂😂
I don’t know why but the fact he rates the space raiders made me really happy
Volko’s the man. A very likeable guy.
cuzins from aussie been hiding that timtam hack 🤤
Honestly such a nice and funny man when he wants to be 😂
Tim Tam vs Penguins surely?
Anyone who eats Tim tams differently needs this lesson it’s the best Australian life hack ever created and obviously the goat knows it and does it 😂😂😂
As if you didnt put tim tams up against a penguin
They should have given you the Key to the Gong Champ !!! Gordy got that one wrong!!
Bradbury's a smug dog
Volk is a blast. Great episode!
I'm from Louisiana and I can honestly say that nothing beats a Tim Tam
Omg, and what he just showed on how to eat them, that's got to be amazing
Yes Sir!
The legend himself volk
Volk is a legend,and such a funny guy
Why does he look like the space raider 😂 😱 love you volk
I think the word he was looking for to describe the Kipling cakes was marzipan.
Many thanks
A briton.
can we start giving the guests better British snacks pls?
They’re left wing , they probably hate the county their from
Drinking a cuppa through a gold bar is goated done that shit my whole childhood 😂
Irn Bru should always always be part of these!
Space raiders are the undefeated featherweight champions of snacks.
Never even heard of Gentlemen's relish and doubt many in the UK have - strange choices in this video...
Never would I imagine to see volk eat space raiders 😂
Should be tim tams against penguins der
No marmite vs vegemite? Who the hell is picking these comparisons!?
Man so proud to show us something we've been doing with penguins for years
What a likeable guy
No Marmite vs Vegamite?
Pickled onion monster munch would've blown his mind!!
The most Russian name and look but the most Aussie guy in personality
It’s a Macedonian name
From the UK and I’ve never heard of gentleman’s relish
Use the straw method for kitkat chunky, twix, club bars and penguins which are Tim tams!!!
Volk's humor is top tier
one of the greatest love this dude fr
He seems like such a cool guy
5:05 W Jessie reference Volk 🐐
Space raiders are goated. Running to the shop as a kid buying a crap load for 10p a pack
I love volk he is so entertaining
I lived 9 years in the UK and I gotta say...UK snacks are literally the best! Very natural flavours and great taste
Rahman flavour crisps, what evil genius came up with that concept? Definitely sounds like a bit of me , they look like NikNaks too so with the added crunchiness factor as well sounds like a no brainer 👍🏽
I’ve been to Wollongong when I was in Australia it’s class
Despite the horrible selection i am proud as a half Welshman half Aussie that we share a hell of a lot of faves.
Nostalgia personified, if you need extra ingredients to say its better
Good to see ya champ
I’m Australian and obviously know what Tim Tams are, but never seen that eating method
Why didn't they put penguin against tim tams
I have never heard of gentleman’s relish in my life
Alex looks like a bit like a space raider 😂.
Volk is a good guy and a warrior
7:28 why the alien have the same shaped head as him😂 👽
the only issue with a lot of these is the 2 items are not even comparable.. yes ginger nuts are english and timtams are aussie, but we would have equivalents of both in both places
Volk is such a lad 😂❤
He needs to try the timtam trick with a KitKat
Y'all set him up with the Twisties
Can we have both volk and Whittaker on the next one? 🔥
