    Addition: We wanted to clarify that we didn't mean that all we ate here is for breakfast as we are aware that this is not the case! We simply had to start filming very early in the morning on empty stomachs and had to have some things as breakfast. Thank you!

      Regarding pickled eggs. I had never eaten a pickled egg until I was in my 50s and it is quite a regional foodstuff. Here in the Westcountry you will find it in Public Houses and it's eaten with a bag of Crisps. They are actually better if pickled in Malt Vinegar and not the Acetic Acid that the commercially available ones are in. Better from a Farmers market than a supermarket. I haven't had one for over 20 years and I won't lose any sleep if I don't have one for another 20. Actually that is the standpoint of most people today apart from in the Westcountry, parts of the Midlands and parts of Northumberland. Regarding Jam RolyPoly and Kirsten, I do love the way you pronounce that 😉😬 You are right, homemade is best and that looked rather dry. We would serve that with Custard and it is really a school dinners or Nursery type of desert. Once again, not a favourite of mine as I don't really have a sweet tooth. I'd rather have a Bratwurst from a Schnelli or a Rindwurst and Potato Salad. I am very fond of German food and have always enjoyed to visit the Rhineland for a holiday. Maybe next time try Jellied Eels ? 🙄

    The Branston pickle, and pickled onions, go well with a simple salad consisting of a cheese selection, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and maybe some sliced ham - this used to be called a ploughmans lunch and you could get it all over the West country and probably most holiday resorts. Nowadays a ploughmans lunch is nothing as simple as that, so many tea shops and little restaurants try to outdo one another.

The seaweed spread,, if it was similar in taste to dried seaweed (Nori) might be OK. However it was educational. I learned that the food item called a “Butty” was a Bun, like a dinner roll, large and soft. I hope i got that right The Tv coverage of the Royal Wedding mentioned that . Prince William ordered a large quantity of “Bacon Butty’s” for his Bachelor party. Those must have been wonderful.. i bet Jorge would enjoy a bacon butty. the whole episode was so much fun to watch.

      My roots are English/Welsh (Father) and German/Russian Mennonite (Mother). HP sauce was always on our table. We ate more of the English foods that were well known in the midlands before the earlyv1950's when Dad emigrated to Canada than German fare as he could not handle spices, except he loved the schnitzel, perogi's with sausage, and cabbage rolls made with barley instead of rice. He often spoke of eating treacle on toast or fried herring with breakfast. His sister came over and made "chips by taking sliced boiled potatoes, dipping them in beer batter and deep-frying them. Mom was horrified and fascinated at the same time. She told dad to eat up and enjoy because he was never getting that again. Dad's mother gave mom her own grandmother's recipe for yorkshire pudding which I learned to make at 11 years old. I taught my 2 children the same recipe. It's a family favorite. I just realized that that recipe has been made by my family for 6 generations.

Beans on toast is definitely comfort food. Btw, you can't really make a decent chip butty with oven chips(too dry) as they need to be good & greasy ; ) & branston pickle shouldn't be heated.

The suet pastry is flattened jam is spread in the middle & the pastry is rolled. The pudding is then steamed. It sounds pretty disgusting but homemade suet puddings are light & fluffy & with a tangy not to sweet jam this dessert is delish. However, you can't buy this in bakers as it doesn't keep well. ; )

    Swiss here. I was introduced to pickled eggs in a pub in the UK many years ago. I loved them at first bite and made them myself the following Christmas as a side-dish at my party. A friend - a cooking teacher, no less - loved them so much she has been making them ever since for Christmas. No Christmas at their home without pickled eggs. And I too still make them once or twice a year. They are really delicious. Don't be shy and try them.

    Cute video! I'm from the US southeast with both British and German roots.. I grew up with pickled eggs at family Easter celebrations. Ours were pink, as beets or beet juice was added to the recipe, which I read is apparently common for pickled eggs in the US. However, I don't know anyone else that eats them, so who knows. My mom said they came from my grandmother's German family tradition. I also read their origin had to do with Lent, as many Christian denominations forbade the consumption of eggs during Lent, but hens continued to lay eggs, and pickling provided a practical way to preserve them until Easter. Our family also had pickled peaches. A very different thing with spices like clove and cinnamon. I didn't love or hate the eggs - ours weren't super strong tasting, but I did like the peaches! Thanks for the memory! We no longer eat them at family gatherings..

      Yeah, most of the stuff would have been ok in a context or eaten as the natives do. I've never understood why beans on toast should be considered intrinsically unappealing to all but the initiated Brits--beans on some form of bread are classic and universal around the world and usually accompanied by onions or some form of pickle (Indian and Mexcian food are famous for this) and classic baked beans are flavored with mustard, ketchup, molasses.
