    Have you ever had any of these British treats? If so, what's your favorite? Let us know!

      As all the flavour on a crisp is in the dusting, you don't need to eat the potato... just lick it.

    • @FromtheHobbitHole
      @FromtheHobbitHole  5 лет назад +3

      Nathan here, and I want to say that you have a good thought! Sadly, I’ve tried it and I still get my allergic reaction. 🙁Since I’m allergic to the starch in the potato, I still come in contact with the starch when I lick the crisp. Thank you for trying to help me enjoy flavored crisps more!

      I’m quite partial to the snow bites, but they are obviously seasonal.. Cadbury mini eggs are my favourite though.
      Never seen gingerbread matchmakers, but mint matchmakers are bliss!!
      Chicken crisps (sorry, chips) are pretty standard over here in the U.K.
      personally I think Cadbury’s chocolate doesn’t taste as good as it used to, the recipe has definitely changed since it was taken over by Kraft, it’s just not the same!
      Galaxy chocolate is definitely superior, at least as far as average U.K. chocolate goes!
      Good video guys, would like to see another!!

      Also, thank you for understanding that saying chips comes more naturally for us, but we are trying our best to say crisps in future reviews. If you haven’t seen it already, we did do a second British Candy Box review which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/BKpMsU8ceTA/видео.html

    Our sweets will taste very difficult to you as artificial colours, flavours and preservatives are banned from all foods over here.
    Also, certain chemicals put into US chocolate to prevent it melting easily are a complete no-no (as in, actually on our Official
    List of Poisons).

    I liked that you didn't just diss the chocolate and compare it to usa chocolate all the time. It's going to be different, and i liked that you focused on the flavours.
    i would love to see what you think about our Galaxy chocolate bars. In my opinion better than Cadbury's since Cadbury chocolate does not taste the same any more since Cadbury was sold :(
    some products for you to look out for
    Kinder bueno bars or Kinda hippos - a beautiful hazelnut cream inside
    Matchmakers mint and orange
    Galaxy - Ripple, Eggs, Caramel - yum!
    Lindt - Lindor so good
    Caramac - it's almost like a caramel flavoured solid chocolate
    Fun video. :)

      Also, we were able to just recently try Galaxy chocolates, and many other items, in videos we filmed within the last week. They’ll be uploaded within the next few weeks so make sure to subscribe so you know when they’re uploaded...if you don’t want to subscribe, that’s okay, at least check back to see the videos so you can know what our thoughts and reactions are towards Galaxy chocolates 😉

    The caramel bite was small because it comes as part of the Cadbury's Roses selection boxes / tins. Same with the Creme Egg Twisted, although in that case it comes in boxes of Celebrations, and is itself a bitesize version of a Creme Egg which is chocolate egg with the same cream filling sold around Easter in the UK.

    I remember when the classic Wispa bar first came out [ end of 70's early 80's 'ish']. It was trialled in a handful of regions in the UK and luckily I lived in one of them[ north east England] . The were selling out SO fast it ended up being featured in local press. If a corner store got a delivery word would spread and they would soon sell out. If memory serves me right Cadbury then halted production because the bars were braking and they had to change the production method. The new one was launched and of course it was just as successful. No one had tasted chocolate with that texture before.

    Wispa (the origanal chocolate bar) is nicer than the Gold in my opinion, Areo mint or Aero Chocolate, Galaxy Choclate is smoother than Cadbury chocolate.

      Hi. Your pronunciation isn't a problem, just cute. The Rose that you ate is just one of a variety of fillings, all that size and individually wrapped. They come in caramel, strawberry, orange, coffee, toffee and a few other flavours and can be bought in a box containing 2 or 3 of each or a larger tub containing about 10 of each. We give the boxes and tub as birthday or xmas gifts to friends or workmates or as thank you gifts. they don't come in bars. There's always light-hearted disputes here about which is the best one. In my house a tub lasts maybe a couple of weeks! Google Cadburys Roses and check them out.

      You aren’t the first to mention the “crisps, not chips” thing, but you are the first to tell us how you do have a potato type food that is called chips. It’s interesting how terminology and names for things can change from one part of the world to another. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

      And we have a baked good that we call scones, which can be either sweet or savory. Also, what you in the UK call biscuits, we call cookies. Here in the States, one region of the country calls soft drinks “soda” while another region calls it “pop.” Does terminology change from, lets say, northern England to southern England, or does it all stay the same for everyone?

    “Fruit-tella” is not British, alas.
    It’s Italian-Dutch:

    You're lucky the chicken crisps/chips made it though customs. They normal pull them out and "destroy" them

      @FromtheHobbitHole  4 года назад

      You’ve had that happen to you?? ...that’s a real bummer! We’ve received those chips/crisps from them twice now with no destruction. The only item we’ve had tampered with is a candy shaped similar to M&Ms that was it a tubular shaped box...it’s like Customs had to check to make sure they weren’t drugs or something...

      @@FromtheHobbitHole, it's not happened fo me (I'm in the UK). However, on another RUclips video they had them removed and a letter from customs. Took me awhile, but I've found the link. ruclips.net/video/2JyLJ1Hj6HY/видео.html . Looking forward to more of your videos, they are charming to watch.

      Oh wow! We’ve never heard of such a thing with customs...their reasoning for taking those crisps out were quite, ummm...bizarre. They didn’t make sense.

      @@FromtheHobbitHole, no sence, I believe the custom guys don't get sent any crisps from ther UK and just wanted to try them. Custom laws are often difficult to understand, I know with hurricane Katrina, a lot of the military rations, (500,000, 24 hour rations) the UK sent, didn't get used because of customs. But, who are we to question?

    • @FromtheHobbitHole
      @FromtheHobbitHole  4 года назад +1

      That’s a lot of rations to have go to waste! Customs laws are confusing and sometimes backwards. We tell anyone sending us a package to please abide by the laws and be smart with what they send us!
