English roast dinner review plz.
Now I'm just hungry.
One should have lamb and the other roast beef and both with yorkshire puddings.
Roast dinner is best home made because then you can have roast potatoes fresh and crispy and vegetables not overcooked as in many pubs that serve it.
The Endless Adventure I'm going on holiday to Vietnam in 2 months, any support and donations you can give me so I don't have use MY money would be appreciated. Thank you.
Can someone lead me to a link maybe to which b&b you visited? I'm always looking for this link and can never seem to find it?
I’d rather go on my own adventure ! Thanks anyway ! Lol
Love how polite and diplomatic you are even when you obviously don’t really like something. So respectful and nice to see. x
Drew Peacock I don’t think people are watching these types of videos for a critique on the food, it’s entertainment.
Drew Peacock there’s plenty of places you could find those and by people with far better insight than Joe Public. 👍🏽
shes just rude and disgusting really isnt she.
As a Welshman I was really pleased to see this film, you very sensitively explored the ins and outs of some of our best culinary offerings. The faggots and peas looked just like my mother used to make, and the laverbread (traditionally served with bacon and a small shellfish called cockles although there's nothing wrong with a spot of good old ketchup with it too!). Have to say though that I have never seen a chocolate Welshcake in my life (I live 30 miles or so from Cardiff) so congratulations on a discovery there. The more common variation is what is known as a "jam split", which is a Welshcake sliced across into two circular halves and filled with a thin layer of jam (jelly to Americans).
Welsh Rarebit - yes, the version you found is commonplace, but the most traditional version is eggs beaten together with milk and with plenty of cheese sliced up and simply floated in the mixture (add salt and pepper) before being baked in the oven. That then would be eaten with bread and butter, the heat of the egg complementing the cold butter on the bread. Toast is also an option, but cheese on toast and "Welsh rarebit" are not the same thing, however much it is marketed as such! You can make the rarebit mixture in the microwave very quickly, you will find. Hwyl fawr a benedith arnoch chi (all the best and every blessing) Julian.
my mother used to make a variety by making a tomato sauce with lots of cheese in it and then put it on toast. It was pretty common for us to have it after church on Sundays. I hated it! never have enjoyed tomatoes and it made the toast soggy (yuk). It was also common for me to be sitting at the table with this cold stuff on my plate for hours after the meal as my father was very strict. ahhh the memories!
As a North Welsh person, I personally love seeing people from around the globe. I would definately suggest cutting your bara brith a bit thinner though. I love lathering it in the butter spread stuff.
That microwave traditional is it? Rarebit minus milk is what it was cooked as back home, and yes, it's almost identical to standard cheese on toast. I'm from Cardiff, with my family being Welsh.
Honestly, Welsh food recipes and marketing is becoming more and more stuck up these days, pretending this and that is usual, when it's just a modern twist. That's never admitted to though, like they aren't proud of the food's origins, and they aren't proud to have made a new thing based on an old thing.
Most of this is peasant food, my ancestors ate it, as have I, as standard.
Agreed, a microwave isn't very traditional but it does work as a quick means. I prefer it cooked on an enamel coated metal plate in an oven - as I was brought up having it - but have made a microwave version when time was short.
Agree a!so it is peasant food. The modern slanting is ok and people will eat what they will but there is something rather odd about presenting something as traditional when it isn't. I suppose it's all about money as things Have to be when making a living. Even so, commodifying food in this way to up the price leaves a bitter taste in today:s climate.
I've quit my 9-5 job. I'm packing up the car to start a roadtrip around Wales. Thanks for the inspiration!! xx

Anonymous Anonymous this was a year ago. I’m not going now ahaha
lol, what?
@@BellaDiary why not !? Come !!! We love visitors
@@ffiaidd6277 id absolutely love to! Just have to wait until this virus that must not be named disappears and the world goes a little more back to normal! I’m thinking of heading to Llandudno
Wales has honestly been my favourite country in Britain, especially due to the towns and cities and their culture and landmarks. Like Cardiff Bay ❤️
Jordan Thomas the bad thing is it rains a lotttttt it’s raining now
People often overlook Wales. Loved this video :) proud to be welsh
i friggin love Wales your country is stunning
I have Welsh heritage from my Maternal side.
Wales has always fascinated me and I've always wanted to visit...
To make proper cawl like my mother and grandmother (who lived about 5 miles up the valley from Gwaelod-y-Garth) used to make) you really need neck of mutton to give it proper flavour, but you just never see it now. Simmer it overnight, scoop the "scum" off the top, let it go cold and lift the disc of fat off, add root vegetables and simmer for another 12 hours. It really is nicer than it sounds.
Tim Diggle I think that's because you can't buy mutton easily these days. Years ago it was available everywhere, but now lambs/sheep don't grow old enough to become mutton.
Halal butchers will always have mutton available....obviously cheaper than lamb too. Head out to a town with a large muslim population and you will find some :)
Nothing tastier than a dead sheep that started off by being hung up by it's back legs, had its' throat sliced open and left to hang there whilst its' life drains away down a grid! Or you could just look for a small traditional butchers shop where the animals are killed more humanely. One of the reasons I'm a veggie.
Sad but true.
Thanks for the graphic recreation Baylessnow, although I'm not sure anyone needed it?...I was just giving an option of where it is widely available, it's up to an individual whether they want to eat halal slaughtered meat or not.
As a UK Chef, I think you have done quite well with your expedition and tried a good range of items, granted some of the high street places dont offer the traditional ways quite so much but you definitely deserve credit finding some good places to eat. Well done.
It's so cool that you came to Wales and the UK in general. The Eurotrip sounds fun. Really hope you stay safe and continue to enjoy!
Thanks friend!
just urging them to dip the fruit loaf and cakes into the tea! sooo goooood
I love you guys so much just gonna put that out there
Right back at ya kid!
Hi guys, I'm so impressed with your views of my country. I'm immensely proud of the UK and wouldn't live any where else. You both show integrity and respect for other cultures and that does great credit to both of you.
Food rationing ended in 1954, We have plenty of cows now and milk is very affordable and very good for you. Please add some more to your tea.
A dash is better....dont you want to taste the tea ???
Not the fucking tea police now
Milky with half a sugar please 😄 I would love to join the tea police and everyone who makes a bad brew I could burst through the door and pour it down the sink 😂😂
You taste the tea better with milk. Too little milk and the tannins ruin your ability to taste it.
I appreciate this comment. It's 6 a.m. here in Germany surrounded by depressing foods. Thank you
could you now go around and tell everyone british food isnt as awful as everyone thinks?
Yeah bit the thing is Welsh and Scottish food generally is pretty awful... English cuisine on the other hand, especially considering the range from general eateries to Michelin star restaurants and street food in London, is probably the best in Europe, if not among the best in the World...
You guys have impressively mastered eating, and helping us eat it with you.
I am impressed that you are probably the only Americans I have ever seen that know how you use a knife and fork the right way
I've lived in Cardiff 7 years. I hope u enjoyed it. Greetings from Hungary.
I'm a proud Welsh las right here
Bara Brith is amazing! Try it with butter and a small pinch of sugar sprinkled on the butter 😍
Loved this video exploring the foods of my country. So glad you liked them and was willing to try them. We are a diverse and wonderful country. I can't understand for the life of me why we get a bad rap when it comes to food. Anyway, will be watching your encounters with Fish & Chips next...food of the gods! and don't forget curry.Candy. Welsh woman. Born in Cardiff. Raised in Barry, living in Sturgis, South Dakota USA...Oh My...!
So glad you're enjoying the yummy vlogs! Ya, people have a lot of opinions when it comes to the food we eat, haha! But don't worry, we'll keep on eating and showing it all off :) We haven't been to South Dakota, but hope to visit soon!
I am so jealous, not had proper Welsh cakes in ages, reminds me of my youth!
So pleased you made it to Wales. Cawl is yummy. Bara Brith is so much better warm!
I don't know but I really liked watching this video when you could see Cardiff because I live in Cardiff
I love that these guys actually eat and you can tell they genuinely enjoy eating.
Thank you for coming to Wales, Most Americans miss Wales become they don't know we exist :)
Cymru am Byth
Dwi'n teimlo dros y ddau yma'n trio bwyd Cymraeg xD dim y peth mwyaf enwog am Cymru
christopher margetts I’m from wales but I can’t speak Welsh............. Dw i’n hoffi bwyta cake 🧁
@@ineedausername_1906 You can take an online course if you want to learn it
I know "hoffi" means like and I'm assuming "bwyta" is like "bit of". So my guess is "I'd love a bit of cake."
I love welsh cakes with rasperry jam,. That's hysterically good, Cardiff is also a very nice city
Cawl, the hidden treasure of Wales.
How should you eat Welsh cheese? Caerphilly!
Love watching your adventures you two! The Gwaelod y Garth is one of our local pubs, shame you didn't have chance to climb the Garth, the views from the top are great. Also we often drive past the Forest cafe but I've never been in, going to have to now! Loving the vids, keep it up!
All these vids are great but i would like to appologise for our weather xx
Rarebit is so nice glad your enjoying your time here again.
It was pretty delicious, glad we were able to give it a try!
I hope you got a doggy bag and took it home! Welsh rarebit is soo good.
Yaaaaaaay!!! So happy you did Wales. Tradition at it's best
Us to! It was a delicious adventure. Next time we'll be heading north for the views (and more food, of course!) :)
It really annoys me when Americans are told how to eat stuff, then ignore all that and eat it cold without cream/
custard/ gravy, and don't like it, Just how difficult is 20 seconds in a microwave? Saw some American eat a crumpet cold - uncoocked and without butter or jam. he couldn't understand how Brits could eat it. We don't eat it like that! Nobody in the uk would eat it dry or cold like that, because its disgusting! Also cream teas should be absolutely lathered in butter, clotted cream and jam (jelly) not just a small spread of each, It's not a jelly sandwich it's a CREAM TEA.They give you all that cream and jam (jelly) cos thats how much you're supposed to load on the fairly dry scone. These guys eat it mostly as it should be ate and enjoy it.
The people that do that are crazy
do you go jam or cream first???
I like how you two are so adventurous. You would be great travel companions.
Looks just like a Christmas fruit cake they sell at the grocery store. Love them.
Can't wait to visit and try it for myself. Thanks, Guys!
I *love* this kind of videos and I can't wait to see more from you guys in the future
Thanks guy's for your honest opinion on the welsh food - there's lots more you could have tried but i appreciate you had little time. I like your respectfulness for the places you visiting and in a short video you certainly cram a lot in including food :) I wish you safe travels and look forward to many more interesting videos.
You guys are awesome I'm Welsh so proud you come and enjoyed Wales. Love your video's
Thanks!
I agree! So many people overlook Wales. Leeks are a must have, if its soup or other.
Looks like y'all had a great day tasting a variety of different and interesting food! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, hope you enjoyed it!
The Endless Adventure I did and thank you for replying!
You guys are eating well over here. Really enjoy watching Americans trying our food and enjoying it.
✌️
I hope you have a great time in Wales! I am from Wales and would recommend going to the Green Man festival if you can get tickets. It starts on Thursday and it is in the Brecon Beacons town of Crickhowell!
We'll have to try to check that out next time!
Leeks and browys in Powys. We used to make griddle cakes over an open fire or on the top of a stove. Then pop out into the snow to cool off. Browys is bread butter cheese onions pepper salt covered in boiling water. A peasants snack. We used to eat a lot of beef .
You could've gone to the oldest market in Wales when you visited Swansea lol
I love wales but it always rains when i visit. I have just suscribed to watch more of your amazing content from a fellow RUclipsr
You two really put out a professionally done cuisine review. I'm very impressed by how mature and respectful you guys are at addressing the taste of each dish. You deserve far more subscribers! 👍😉
Just discovered this video. As a Welshman it's soooo great to see Americans enjoying our national food
Hah! I remembered to eat before watching this time :) Well done guys :) Again - best way to eat the Welsh Cakes is pinching them straight off the hot stone while your Mamgu is cooking them :D
With butter and raspberry jam on top. Served with black tea.
Or Nain!lol!
That's how I used to do it with my mum lol
I can always tell when you're not particularly thrilled with a food! That chuckle! :-D At least you are willing to try new foods!
Gotta give you guys credit for taking such big bites of food you don't know. Enjoy your videos about the different foods in countries.
Great stuff, I loved the look of that Bara Brith loaf, reminds me of 'Barmbrack' which I think is an Irish version of pretty much the same thing. Ive been all over--quite a few places, but to my shame Ive never visited Wales, although Ive had many a great night in Welsh company, when they come up for the Rugby and kind of take over
Great vid guys i am hooked binged for 4 hours yesterday love from Yorkshire England known as gods own country.
So glad to hear it!
Only in Yorshire
very surreal seeing you drive past my area in splott lol, the magic roundabout is such a famous landmark in cardiff! great vid guys
The thing I like is your tea! Looks like a proper builders (construction worker’s) brew
Wonderful! Thanks for the tips - I'm going to Cardiff in 3 weeks :)
If you think that any dish made with offal is bland add mint sauce it puts a new dimension into it.
Toast here is toasted on both sides and brown as oppossed to warm bread that you might get in Europe classed as toast or one sided American toast. worcestershire sauce on any cheese dish is a must!
Thanks for the tip!
Great video....fabulous food! Do you guys do this for a living or are you just on vacation or a honeymoon? If you're doing this as a living....smart move! Thanks for sharing....keep 'em coming! Really enjoy these videos ...living vicariously through you! I was in Europe many moons ago and had a couple of great meals but I think the proliferation of restaurants and cafes/bistros is even more now even here in the USA compared to decades ago!
You guys are way more adventurous with food than I am 🙈
Sometimes we're delightfully surprised...sometimes not so much...😂
LOLZ
Brith is Welsh for speckled. Sometimes its part of a place name because hillsides can look speckled from a distance with gorse and clumps of bushes.
food tours from different countries are A+ because my curiosity about other cultures' cuisines gets fulfilled after watching
'Don't usually like chunks of fruit in pastries, and peas' ... my goodness, stuff I love the most!
You two are natural's at this kind of thing, very enjoyable to watch.
Don't forget to try pie & mash when you are in London! :-)
Oh yes. It will be fun to watch it.
If you're still in Wales you should try Welsh cakes with butter, Cockles with salt and vinegar from a market, Dragon sausages (from butchers, maby get a bbq) Botanical gin, & Penderyn Whisky.
Come up to Shrewsbury in Shropshire!!! Its beautiful, I can show you all around. LOTS of history, our castle and abbey were first built in 1068. Also the home of Charles Darwin.
TheBaconWizard I live there too - the kids could call in on their way back from Snowdonia if they get that far.
Whereabouts? I live in town, up-hill from the Train Station. We'd have to find some Shrewsbury biscuits for them.
TheBaconWizard I live in Belle Vue. It's a shame they're off to London now, then going to Amsterdam. Never mind, maybe next time.
Darnit. Ah well.
Is that the Belle Vue in Manchester Pluggit? Used to go there often as we had dogs trained by Andy Heyes. He's given up the game now I understand.
I went to Britain a few months ago for the summer. We went to London first and stayed there for 5 days. Then we went to pick up my aunt from the airport then we were on our way to Abitelary, Wales. We stayed for 6 days. One of those days, we went to Cardiff and we went to a restaurant right by a gigantic stadium. By the way, I am Welsh. I just was not born in Britain. I was born in Delaware, U.S.A.
Welsh cakes with huckleberries Is how my family always had them and is my favorite ❤
Garth Hill is the original of the mountain that that the Englishman went up and came down. They made the film in mid Wales where it looked more picturesque.
They are very polite and respectful and not whooping and hollering -now who's stereotyping.....
You NEED to try an Eccles cake if you haven't already. There are crap cheap ones or original good ones packed full of fruit. The ones M&S sell are pretty close to the original ones. Make sure you pick one with a caramel bottom!
Bara brith translates to speckled bread.
Remember having a bowl of Welsh Cawl in Cardiff absolutely delicious (Don't think I would've paid £10 for it though!)
Great selection guys your vids improve every week. :)
Thanks so much! 🙌
I like my rarebit on thinner bread TBH.That cawl looked lovely, my gran used to make it,it should be mutton as far as I know thats why its boiled for so long to tenderise the mutton which can be tough.
hey guys i really like your vids, i have just subbed !
You paid £7.50 for a slice of cheese on toast and a tenner for a bowl of soup?
I think they saw you coming
Yeah unfortunately it was the only place we could find to try both dishes at once. Still, was pretty good though!
Welsh rarebit is not cheese on toast you heathen!
Are you aware of the concept of flippancy for comedic effect?
Lol
Al Capwn Proper rip off
awesome that you came to Gwaelod. I live one village down just below the castle
Cheese on toast every one knows, Toast one side of the bread, Put Grated or Sliced cheese on the other side (I normally like a little pickle with mine and that goes on the toast first).
Welsh Rarebit is the cheese melted in some Ale, Cider or Cheese/White Sauce with Mustard added (I like the Honey Mustard with Mustard Seeds), This is spread on the toast and toasted as normal. Here in the U.K A good Strong Cheddar is used. In Wales they tend to use a hard cheese.
If you are not used to Lamb (I had some last week and that must be the first in over 5 years) it does taste Gamey.
My own version of Welsh Rarebit uses good grated cheese (a decent Cheddar) English mustard and vinegar, a few chopped chives are good.
It looks delicious and all fresh dishes, lovely. Enjoy the UK.
Laver is best with non-US bacon, pan fried in butter and pork fat. Just heat it in the pan and don't mix it in with bread - its like an oily cabbage. Dark green and delicious - perfect with bacon and eggs. Buy tins and use as a base for stuffing fish. No one will know its tinned.
My grandmother used to make Bara Brith, she used to call it Barmbrack. It's also eaten in Argentina where it's known as Torta Negra (literally Black Cake). Glad you've enjoyed an average British summer. Wet. :D
Oh how interesting! We'll have to compare when/if we go to Argentina :D
Aye it’s splott and the magic roundabout
Fruitcake was taken on long journeys as it was a great energy giver in such a small dose.
Some food's just taste better with a cup of tea like a chip butty:)
Interesting to get another country's view on British food!
Really enjoying these videos. I actually live in Splott so i'm gutted I didn't find your videos a year ago! Glad you enjoyed the food :) I've subscribed so that I can work through all your other videos.
As a Welsh man you suppose to eat the cawl with the cheese and bread and the Welsh cakes you cut them in half and but butter on them and there a sweet bread we eat call lardy cake
Another great vid, not been to Wales yet but on my list. Decided against a meet up in London?
Yeah we just didn't have time this go around, but we definitely will next time!
oh yay you found us! you were so nice! thank you for mcdonalds and helping us beat nazis in ww2.
now that I can no longer travel, Im really enjoying yours!
My fair City and our Capital. Looked like you really enjoyed Cardiff.
I'm from North Wales and we say "Bah-rah breeth"
Is it different in other parts of Wales? Or are they just saying it wrong? XD
BEN DROWNED it could be the American accent throwing the way it sounds
Nah you're saying it right. Southern welsh say it the same as you, their accent makes it like that
Bara brith - literally translated as ‘speckled bread’ although it’s more like a cake than bread.
Chocolate Welsh Cakes are not proper Welsh Cakes!!
The way you had the laverbread is not how you would commonly find it. Go and buy a tub of Parsons Laverbread to get a proper experience!
In Welsh it’s called Bara Lawr.
Love cute Eric's style. He has awesome hair
Thanks 😊
We have a lot of cakes and things that are best eaten hot, in the case of Soreen you have to heat it to make it less sticky. Its like glue otherwise.
The remote coffee shop reminded me of "The Copper Kettle" on the series "As Time Goes By" starring Judi Dench and Godfrey Palmer. She played "M" and he played an admiral on one of those James Bond films.
The cake seems similar to a fruit cake you can get during the Christmas Season in the States.
In my neighborhood, just about everyone's grandma made Welsh cookies. Thanks!
