Mahalo for watching! We wanted to film so much more food in the UK but there wasn't enough time 😭 We will have Scottish Food Video coming soon! We hope you enjoyed this one! We can't wait to show you all the other food we ate during our trip🤙🏼
Lovely video, but you ate the Yorkshire pudding wrong. It's supposed to be covered in gravy and eaten with a knife and fork to mop up the gravy and eaten with a bit of everything - it's not a bread roll.
The Black Pudding is now rated as a super food because of its nutrients . The darker the tea the stronger it is , just add extra milk ( the very strong tea is nicknamed as builders tea ) Don't forget to add salt and pepper to suite your taste and you can with your breakfast use your knife and fork to eat the toast and fried bread along with other ingredients at the same time and of course when eating Yorkshire pudding with your Sunday Roast the knife and fork is great so you don't drip the gravy plus you can add another ingredients or two .
Brit here, got to say your knowledge and research into each dish is so refreshing rather than some ive seen where they dont look into the history of our iconic dishes, also really appreciated that you tried a good range of dishes and not just fish and chips 😂
Not sure if anyone has said but the sausage you tried with the mash was Cumberland which has sage in it usually, we have lots of different flavours in the UK and some have their own names like the Cumberland lol
Great selection of british classics. Alot of british dishes tend to be fairly simple foods, without alot of fancy ingredients. Staple, affordable basics cooked well. In the winter it's dark by 3.30 and thats when these really sing. Comfort food should stick to the ribs and make you feel warm and cosy. Its a hug on a plate 🤗.
That’s exactly what I thought! We usually have beef that’s sliced about a half an inch thick. Basically Thai was a roast dinner accompaniments with a Serloin steak lol
This has got to be my favorite episode you guys have done! I loved seeing you both getting the chance to eat different dishes that were definitely different from what you were both were used to. You're both true foodies indeed 🤗 Thank you for taking us along with your food adventures, especially overseas 🤗 Take care & enjoy guys!
@@SonofSol1 Traditionally yes, you are quite right. But if you want to buy a suet sponge pudding in a British supermarket today you will be looking hard and long. Of you find one tell me where because I often try. Modern sponge puddings are always sponge not suet as it is lighter and cheaper. I miss the suet version. Will have to make one.
Love there British accent when they speak. The food looks so incredible and yummy. Thank you for Sharing. I serviced along side with British Soldiers when i was in Afghanistan and Iraq, very nice guys to meet
Living in Canada these days, I miss British sausages. I find the North American style nothing more than dreadful and sweet (Honey/Garlic for example), so I have started making my own!
We're a small nation surrounded by the sea. I adore seafood of all kinds (although, sadly, many of my fellow Brits do not seem to share may passion!) There is amazing seafood to be had all around our coast - oysters, mussels, cockles and crab to name a few. Locally caught fish, often only a few hours old can be eaten in many places, if you know where to look (of course Google will help you with that).
wow you really did your research, hash browns are becoming popular in English breakfasts but are American, Amanda went with bubble which is very traditional and hard to find now. These breakfasts were served for working men in cafes often called greasy spoons to fuel them for the working day. Usually would come with breakfast or builders tea which is less fancy but very tasty. For a next try , dont go for cod for fish and chips Haddock is my favourite and also Huss and try from a seaside town as they are more likely fresher fish and traditional than in London they dont have to be northern can also be southern towns too although the place you chose in London looked good maybe a bit more fancy than we go for. I only put the malt vinegar on the chips. Also there are a lot more british indian dishes to try but you did go for the most popular one, so rare to find someone who realises that indian food is here is british food. My favourites are Rogan Josh and Jalfrezi indian dishes are often spelt slightly differently on menus depending on the chefs origins much like the spelling of kebab and donor changes for regions for example. To experience a proper sunday roast you need to find a local to invite you to a traditional sunday roast as we all pride ourselves in our versions and is way different to a restaurant and everybodys mum will make it differently.
The similarities between chip shop curry and japanese curry are because the Royal Navy would have this kind of curry as part of their on board stores, and traded it for other supplies when in port in Japan.
Commander Matthew Perry of the US Navy forcibly opened Japan to trade in 1854 using gunboat diplomacy, this was a one of the triggers for the Meiji restoration. Initially it was with the US, but other Western Naval powers soon established trade and British style curry powder was introduced sometime in the 1870s.
A well presented selection of British food. Pleased to see you found some good examples and showcased some quality dishes. As a Brit, it's nice to see that you've done your research and showing our food in it's true light. Having eaten in quite a few of the places featured and familiar with all the dishes and foods, I can confirm you picked well. Just a tip - whenever you have food in the UK with multiple dishes (British or any other cuisine) the default way of eating is put something of everything on the plate and eat together. I've noticed many Americans taste each item on it's own and pick at each item individually, therefore don't always get the best tasting experience.
Bubble and Squeak is traditionally made from the left over mashed potato and cabbage from the Sunday roast. Its description is onomatopoeic in that when it is in the frying pan the mash potato puffs up and kind of bubbles and it also squeaks when the bubbles burst.
please note;;; the full english is a morning after special, unless you work as a driver and only get 1 good meal a day ( then the full english will be ok) , the cherry sauce i have never seen & im 67, the steak and kidney pud is normaly served with a mixture of veg or chips ( french fries ). but nice video folks, im glad you enjoyed your stay in the uk
Fried bread aka a Fried Slice is very traditional but you don't see it everywhere anymore just because it's seen as unhealthy, I won't have a fried breakfast with toast, it's a fried slice or nothing as it's so delicious! It's most often shallow fried when you make it at home in the fat left in the pan from frying the bacon which makes it extra delicious!
My Mum's is the best. We don't have it more than once a Year though.. (I hate anything with lard myself) but my Mum does fry the bread in lard🙈💜(We've tried it in olive oil or sesame oil; doesn't work!😅) 🙏🏻💜🇬🇧💜
@@markjones127, in the austere post-war years that I grew up in, a regular breakfast for us before school was fried bread (in lard) with a scraping of Marmite or Bovril on it. It was delicious. A couple of slices of that in the morning really set us kids up for the day.
Need to try the crumpets hot so the butter melts through it onto the plate . Normally go for 1 with butter and 1 butter and jam . Washed down with a cup of the old Yorkshire tea 💪 .
@@Myha.Cherie for me, I didn’t have that much India food at home, usually it’s the generic butter chicken for the American tongue. Dishoom’s Indian food tasted way different and better, so I think it’s authentic and taught me more about the spices used in India food. Enjoy Dishoom.
Loved that you tried the traditional English foods … this was a great food vlog! Looking forward to more of your UK 🇬🇧 experiences. I really miss London 😢
Jam Roly Poly is not made with sponge cake but suet pastry. Also the Steak and Kidney pudding is also made with suet pastry. Suet is made from the fat from around the kidneys of pigs or beef but nowadays you can get vegetarian suet which is a little lighter in texture. Suet pastry is made with flour, suet, water and salt then normally steamed.
Malt vinegar is for the chips! Forget gravy and mushy peas, for Southeners fish and chip shop style chips are always paired with just malt vinegar and salt - THE BEST!!! 👍
The bangers and mash looked like a Cumberland sausage. The flavour that you might not be familiar with is sage, but there are lots of different types of sausages and spice and herb recipes. Cumberland is certainly a classic.
Lovely video. Fish & chips--There's nothing quite like eating cod and chips out of the paper from a chippie at the seaside while sitting on the sea wall on a warm Summer day, a gentle sea breeze blowing and the sound of waves and seagulls. Crumpets--We called them pikelets growing up where we live. We used to have a coal fire and in the Winter would toast them on the fire on a toasting fork, then lashings of salted butter. So good on cold mornings.
Pikelets are a thinner version of crumpets where I come from, they aren’t as doughy as some crumpets. I prefer the cheapest, thinnest supermarket crumpets, they toast better, as others have already mentioned the butter should be soaking through the crumpets.
I don't know how common this is, but most times I've had fried bread it was shallow fried, and only on one side. I love the contrasting textures between the crisp side and the soft side. Also it would probably have been fried in the same oil as the sausages and bacon, absorbing all those meaty flavours.
Great video, growing up we'd always have bubble and squeak for tea (our main evening meal) on a Monday using the leftovers from our Sunday roast the day before, my Mum would always cook too much on purpose so there were plenty of leftovers, it was never neat and tidy and fancy like in a restaurant either, she'd just make a huge frying pan of it and it would be all knobbly and misshapen with loads of brown crusty bits, and we'd have it with gammon and runny fried eggs, so delicious!!!
Excellent video. Your honesty and openness towards the food you tried is refreshing. One thing though, London has its own specialties and, unlike many food reviewers, you do go around the regions. First class. Btw - that jam roly poly wasn’t - it was a jam sponge. Roly poly is made with a suet pastry and is very, very rare. It’s also served with custard. The Sunday Roast was quite unusual - not normal for the meat to be steak. Yes, you should have put lots of gravy on your Yorkshire pudding. The sticky toffee pudding was very unusual - upmarket, not typical. Try Sunday Roast in a Yorkshire pub - much better. Almost the definitive British food guide.
Gosh, that was a fantastic review of so many traditional foods that tourists are very wary of trying. Tucking into black pudding for a winning starter to your taste journey when the usual reaction is a fit of the vapours and blind terror before carving off a single tiny crumb to taste was just amazing. You were both so very open to the experience. Bravo! Spread the word that we are not still on wartime rations and British food is often not just good but absolutely brilliant. Haggis and deep fried Mars Bars next for you two. 😂
The only downside for me was that roast, have a traditional one in a small village/ town. I hate it when they ponce it up and deconstruct it, should be all on 1 plate smothered in gravy. ❤
My daughter and I always go to Dishoom when we are in London never been to that one but we've been to the Kings Cross, Carnaby Street and Covent Garden restaurants.
Crumpets are amazing - they are made with yeast, which gives them the holey texture. You absolutely MUST add honey for the ultimate crumpet experience!
Great to see how much research you did unlike other first timers who don’t understand how things should be done. The one thing that was slightly wrong is that Jam Roly Poly should always be eaten with CUSTARD rather than ice cream ; custard is eaten with most British desserts, very popular , especially with Spotted Dick and apple crumble and apple pie ( which was invented over 500 years ago in the UK, not in the US) !!
We try to do as much research as we can and we always learn something new ☺️ it was definitely a welcomed difference 👌🏼 it seems a lot of the restaurants serve their traditional dishes in non traditional ways, but still glad we got to try it!
Aloha, A&F . . . pleased to see that you re both enjoying yourselves on your visit, and the food here so much . . . It's quite normal to see different ingredients used, as well as different types of food available in each country of the UK - not to mention every county in the UK . . . As the more local you are to each county, you will usually find that the produce used will be more local to the area - as in the meats, fish, and the vegetables being used in them . . . Same with the 800+ varieties of cheese we have here, as almost every county will have its own different makes or options, too . . . A lot of foods are also well-known for only being eaten more in a specific area of the UK . . . Fish (of any type) & Chips, or anything like that, crab cakes, etc, are almost always better when you get them from a coastal "Chippy", as the fish and shellfish come straight from the harbour next to them in most instances . . . Crumpets have options, too - just butter on, honey on, jam on, some will even put Marmite on - as I also do occasionally - but my own preference is usually cheese and melt it under the grill - (not from the square shop-bought packs of them like the Kraft ones though - from the real cheeses, from the mild to the extra mature choices that we have!) . .. Enjoyed watching you both - so I hope you will still enjoy it all a lot more and longer yet . . .
I’m impressed by you guys trying everything. I don’t think of Americans getting outside of their comfort zone so readily. Thank you for trying everything - when my kids were small I used to say - just try it, you don’t have to like it but can’t say you don’t like it before you try it!
The vast majority of Brits would not eat pie and mash like that..That version is very much an East Enders dish... Pies and mash or chips or new potatoes is usually eaten with a rich dark gravy..
Sausage rolls are sausage meat (NO casing) with puff or flaky pastry, not croissant dough - totally different way of lamination to make the layers and often salty, not sweet. A few of the things you chose are very, very region specific. The Bath Buns, for example, and the pie, mash and liquor - they are seldom seen outside London, so I wouldn't necessarily say they were "must try" foods. You really need to try regional foods, like going into Wales and eating larva bread, Scotland for Haggis and Cullen Skink, down to Cornwall for Pasties and Stargazey Pie, Bedfordshire for a Clanger, Lancashire for Hot Pot. And Bubble and Squeak is NOT a typical breakfast food, though it can be added then. It's more often eaten at other times - when first invented it was eaten on Monday to use the left-overs from a Sunday roast, usually around mid-day. And your Sunday roast was a theme, not a true roast. We don't eat steak as a roast meat - we have joints of meat, roasted slowly to the perfect level of done-ness, sliced thinly, covering a third of the plate! Sticky toffee pudding is a recently invented thing - not truly traditional. Far more traditional is a treacle tart, spotted dick, Bakewell pudding, even a sherry trifle. The invention of apple pie was from the UK, too! And Rhubarb crumble is amazing - most crumbles are, especially served with custard! BUT - your appreciation of all you tried was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for being open to trying some of the things many visitors shy away from and refuse to consider - marmite and black pudding being the most frequent! You'll have to make a return visit and try some of the things I've mentioned and recommendations from other viewers, too!
Depending where you are in the country you can get various accompanying sauces for your chips. Curry sauce, Gravy, Red (ketchup) sauce Brown sauce Fruity sauce (a sweet brown sauce rather than a vinegar one) Mayonnaise, Garlic Mayonnaise etc etc.
Safe travels in the UK Amanda and Felix! I really enjoy watching you enjoying traditional British foods!!! Makes me wanna fly over and have some. YUM!. Tuning in for more UK vlogs!
Every Sunday, roast beast and Yorkshire pudd, with roasted potatoes and veg. And and gravy, poured into the Yorkshire pudding. Our family emigrated to Canada from Kent, England.
What a fantastic day you must have had filming this! I am British and I admit I'm not normally very enthusiastic about British food but it all looked jolly delicious on your video!
Get more enthusiastic, we have some great food, i think we are told so often it's bad, by People who have never tried it, we start to believe it, but it's not true we have some wonderful Food, we could just use a bit more Pride.
Thank you for trying our Food with an open mind and not prejudging it as many do, due to our unfounded bad reputation with Food. This started during WW2 with American servicemen stationed here while we had food rationing on.
A traditional Jam roly poly is usually long and rolled dense heavy outer coating with Jam inside and then it’s rolled a bit like a Swiss roll and served with custard.
The pastry on the bottom of the pie is undercooked. Pue and mash is very different in London because they use liquor instead of gravy. You need to try pie and mash elsewhere because it is very different.
love the fact you guys like the food in the uk , mushy peas are made with dried peas that soaked before you cook them , marmite is one of those less is more things a little goes a long way , have a great time
@@claire4167 That's not really Doctoring it that's literally how you get it in the Chippy i go in, well maybe not stirred in but on top, Fish Chips and Peas in a Tray with plenty Salt and Vinegar, Northern style.
I grew up as a kid near Regency street on Page street have not seen this place in over 30 years good to see the cafe is still running after all these years
In the US... folks order "Fish and Chips".... Period ! In the UK... folks order "Fish and Chips" and specify the variety of fish. We have English friends and they'll call the restaurant to ask "who's the cook ?" When informed which cook was on duty that evening, decided to skip it !!! The travel-bug bit me when I was an 18 year old GI in Germany. Back then we were allowed 20-days (4-weeks) leave per year. So... every 3-months I'd take a weeks leave touring Europe. The place to do my culinary research was at the post library. 😋😋
Mahalo for your service 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 yes, we’re not surprised! In the UK, they take their fish and chips very seriously and for good reason! We wish we had more time to visit more spots 😋
Shepherds Pie = Lamb, Cottage Pie = Beef, Cumberland Pie = similar to Cottage Pie with cheese added on top (I think). Basically meat in a dish with a mashed potato topping. Good Basic Food.
Mahalo Patricia for the aloha in our comment section 🤙🏻 shopping was a bit tricky since the dollar to pound exchange is a bit high 😢 we mostly bought snacks!
Thanks guys, an amazing video and as an englishman, I'm proud that my country could give you some of our traditional food to make you happy. We have a bad reputation for bad food that is taught in other countries. Thankyou for being honest. :)
While family from Hawaii, my mother was not. My father met her in college. We have had Steak and Kidney pie every Christmas day for 70 years in my family, with a sister doing the cooking. Works really well with pepper water.
Nice work, guys. I lived in London for 3 years and have been to Edinburgh twice. You uncovered more great places to eat than I found the whole time I was there. I spend half the year in Makakilo now, so hope to see you around. 👍
The steak and kidney pudding is made with suet shredded beef fat , and then its steamed so is soft and stodgy. The jam roly poly goes best with custard . the pie and mash usually you drown it in vinigar not chilli vinigar , mushy peas and curry sauce is an up north of the country thing . The sausage roll is flaky pastry . I loved how you were very open to our food . Its based on the weather , we live in a cold wet country so the food is heavy with lots of potatoes and veg . I'm now a fan and have subscribed
full english had fried bread not toast, people started having toast because it was healthier than fried bread. a slice of white bread buttered both sides then lightly fried until crisp... fried black pudding fried egg fried mushrooms (chestnut mushrooms are the best) fried quarter tomatos fried sausage fried bacon notice everything is fried... thats because it all gets done in the same pan to keep the flavors baked beans came in later and were done in a seperate pan. one thing many dont try is dripping on toast dripping sandwiches buttered and you add a pinch of salt too... one thing i grew up with in the morning as a kid was dripping on toast, then when i began work it was the full english to set me up for the day on the farm estate.
Mahalo!. You two have impressed me with your appreciation of the dishes we have over here. Food from the UK should, in one dish, fill you up so you dont become hungry so quickly. Spice i find masks the taste of food.
Bravo to both of you!! Thank you for trying real British food, including the dishes that made their home here when people came to live here from overseas. Have to say I held my breath when you tried Marmite. That amount of Marmite goes over a whole slice of toast! 😊 You are correct that tea is taken seriously here. But that tea is really weak compared to how most Brits drink it at home. The average cuppa is about 5 shades darker. The Steak & Kidney Pudding is made with suet pastry which is designed to be boiled or steamed. Your Steak Pie at the chippy was puff pastry.
The bad thing about traveling and experiencing the food is that there are so many foods to try so you don't want to eat a dish multiple times even when if it's delicious. See you are going to Bourgh Market next, I hope you had the Humble Crumble.
Both of your cardigan games are on point!! 😍 Thank you for taking us along and helping me relive my time in England for my college British Lit class over a decade ago! My favorite dishes while I was there were all the homemade delectable soups and crusty baguettes in the little mom and pop cafes 😋
Loved this episode! I really really want to try the sticky toffee pudding, it looked so ono! Amanda, u have a new hair style? Gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us❤
Steak n Ale... often pronounced "ache and stale" is enriched with a local real ale. Since they tend to be regional, the taste and quality of a steak and ale pie can vary from place to place!
Your reviews are great, I enjoyed how you linked everything back to flavours and textures that you know, that’s how I describe new food too ☺️ My only tip would be that when eating British food try to get a bite of everything on your fork! It can be tricky, especially with an English Breakfast, but having a taste of everything is how our meals are usually enjoyed.
It's cool to see people who aren't British really enjoying black pudding. For me, it's not a full English without it. Bubble and Squeak is also amazing but such a rarity these days. It's traditionally made with leftover potatoes and veg from a Sunday roast.
For Sunday Roast with my Great Grandmother we used to have half of the Yorkshire Pudding with the Main Meal and then half with Jam for desert. Its essentially the same batter mix you make Pancakes with.
Never known a pie being turned over…the crusty top is part of the comfort. Fork and spoon was the traditional way of eating it where I grew up (Stratford) and you have to add (chilli) vinegar and white pepper to season the whole thing. It looked superb!
I totally loved that video . Englishman born and raised , on the playgr....nah kidding. Well done for getting stuck in to some of the foods . I have a American B.I.L. who will not no matter what try kidney or black pudding , yet he will go out and hunt animals for his dinner. Many of the best foods are peasant foods i.e. pizza , pasta , offal . etc. Bangers & mash , bubble & squeak , hot pot , scouse, welsh rarebit , all came about from having a food shortage. Calfs cheek in Manchester is amazing , Haggis in Scotland , Irish stew , all wonderful . The only things I draw the line at are tripe , and stargazey pie. but I know people who say they are wonderful . Cant wait for the next one , and arent a full cream tea surprising filling ?
Ive had a quick look through the comments. im unable to find anyone mention this re-pie and mash. Up north we eat pie with meat gravy. ( we eat everything with gravy) parsley sauce is more southern uk
I must say you both are very gracious in your praise of our food, we wouldn’t mind if you didn’t like certain things, but thank you anyway. The fried bread you had is actually French toast, fried bread is only toasted on the one side, traditionally you would spread beef fat known as dripping on the side you want to toast, these days you would simply dip in oil and toast on the grill.
British fried bread is usually fried on both sides. French toast is different. It is dredged in eggs and milk before frying. As they were eating at an Italian establishment, it may have been soaked in just milk and fried.
@@Bevie2003 very true, but definitely from my little part of the country fried bread was made by dipping one side in beef dripping and toasting that side only but semantics I guess
I'm glad that you tried the typical English food. You have to try it. I have not tried the roly poly dessert. I hope you ate more Indian food. I really enjoyed it when I was there. Looking forward to part 2.
Love your channel. Dishoom is absolutely amazing, did you try their chai tea and breakfast? Sally Lunn's bun taste much better when it is toasted, especially with their brandy butter (unfortunately, it is only available around Christmas time). Toast the bun with butter or clotted cream is heavenly The British way of making their tea is to pour in milk or cream first, then sugar and finally pouring in the tea so that you don't have to stir at all.
Nice reviews guys, you ate well and in some very nice places. That jam roly-poly was probably made as steamed suet pastry which is why it's quite dense and very moist.
Mahalo for watching! We wanted to film so much more food in the UK but there wasn't enough time 😭 We will have Scottish Food Video coming soon!
We hope you enjoyed this one! We can't wait to show you all the other food we ate during our trip🤙🏼

Best fried bread is fried on a pan after you take out the bacon/rashers!
Go scotlandd
You need about an inch of butter on a crumpet. If the butter isn't leaking through the bottom then you need more.
Not too much though!
Ah; I haven't had a crumpet for about three weeks
I must get some🙏🏻🇬🇧
exactly! I prefer my crumpet to be brown on top too for a nice crunch
I love my crumpets toasted and drizzled with honey.
And jam!
Yes more butter and let it melt all the way through, then I do like something sweet on top or even Marmite.
Brit here, got to say your knowledge and research into each dish is so refreshing rather than some ive seen where they dont look into the history of our iconic dishes, also really appreciated that you tried a good range of dishes and not just fish and chips 😂
I found it amazing you 2 were both so open to trying foods that were new to you and really appreciating them.
We try to be open minded when it comes to other cultures cuisines! Mahalo for the kind comment🤙🏼🥰
Not sure if anyone has said but the sausage you tried with the mash was Cumberland which has sage in it usually, we have lots of different flavours in the UK and some have their own names like the Cumberland lol
Fried bread is guilty breakfast pleasure on the Full English Fry Up. Deep fried with bacon, beans, black pudding.... it's incredible.
Great selection of british classics. Alot of british dishes tend to be fairly simple foods, without alot of fancy ingredients. Staple, affordable basics cooked well.

Comfort food should stick to the ribs and make you feel warm and cosy. Its a hug on a plate 🤗.
Being from Hawaii, UK summer weather called for some warm and cozy food! Mahalo🤙🏼
We don't generally have steak with our Sunday roast. It's either roast beef, roast lamb, roast pork or chicken
That’s exactly what I thought! We usually have beef that’s sliced about a half an inch thick. Basically Thai was a roast dinner accompaniments with a Serloin steak lol
There's no generally about it, steak is not part of a Sunday roast, they clearly just ordered a steak thinking that's what a roast was
@@jeandonaghue2150 Yep defo not a thing here. Apart from in fancy restaurants apparently.
@@jeandonaghue2150 steak is beef just a different cut 😂
Steak is beef just a different cut! If I want a roast dinner just for myself I do a steak instead of a whole roasting beef
This has got to be my favorite episode you guys have done! I loved seeing you both getting the chance to eat different dishes that were definitely different from what you were both were used to. You're both true foodies indeed 🤗 Thank you for taking us along with your food adventures, especially overseas 🤗 Take care & enjoy guys!
Mahalo Rosie for your kind words! So glad you enjoyed this one🤙🏻
I have to say, as much as I'll have Ice Cream with anything, a Jam Roly Poly really needs custard.
And it's not light like a sponge cake because it's not a cake, it's a sponge pudding.
Love your joy at tasting British food…open to ideas…and dead right about black pudding! You seen seem so happy x
We've learned from a bunch of you that although it said Jam Roly Poly on the menu, it was not traditional... 😭
@@artemisfowl66 it's suet pudding
@@SonofSol1 Traditionally yes, you are quite right. But if you want to buy a suet sponge pudding in a British supermarket today you will be looking hard and long. Of you find one tell me where because I often try. Modern sponge puddings are always sponge not suet as it is lighter and cheaper. I miss the suet version. Will have to make one.
I love Amanda's very honest commentary on the food.
Mahalo! 🤙
Love there British accent when they speak. The food looks so incredible and yummy. Thank you for Sharing. I serviced along side with British Soldiers when i was in Afghanistan and Iraq, very nice guys to meet
First of all, thank you for your service Todd🙌🏼 honestly, at first the accent was so cool but after a couple of days it all just becomes normal lol
You will find sausages are regional in the UK, lincolnshire style sausages are more herby where as cumberland style sausages tend to have more spice.
Living in Canada these days, I miss British sausages. I find the North American style nothing more than dreadful and sweet (Honey/Garlic for example), so I have started making my own!
We're a small nation surrounded by the sea. I adore seafood of all kinds (although, sadly, many of my fellow Brits do not seem to share may passion!) There is amazing seafood to be had all around our coast - oysters, mussels, cockles and crab to name a few. Locally caught fish, often only a few hours old can be eaten in many places, if you know where to look (of course Google will help you with that).
@@Dionysos640 Lol each to their own, as they say!
I share it i just can't afford any of it, but then if it was more popular and we didn't export 70% it would be cheaper.
wow you really did your research, hash browns are becoming popular in English breakfasts but are American, Amanda went with bubble which is very traditional and hard to find now. These breakfasts were served for working men in cafes often called greasy spoons to fuel them for the working day. Usually would come with breakfast or builders tea which is less fancy but very tasty. For a next try , dont go for cod for fish and chips Haddock is my favourite and also Huss and try from a seaside town as they are more likely fresher fish and traditional than in London they dont have to be northern can also be southern towns too although the place you chose in London looked good maybe a bit more fancy than we go for. I only put the malt vinegar on the chips. Also there are a lot more british indian dishes to try but you did go for the most popular one, so rare to find someone who realises that indian food is here is british food. My favourites are Rogan Josh and Jalfrezi indian dishes are often spelt slightly differently on menus depending on the chefs origins much like the spelling of kebab and donor changes for regions for example. To experience a proper sunday roast you need to find a local to invite you to a traditional sunday roast as we all pride ourselves in our versions and is way different to a restaurant and everybodys mum will make it differently.
We try to keep open minds and do research about the cultures cuisine! Thank you for the kindness and insights into your foods!
The similarities between chip shop curry and japanese curry are because the Royal Navy would have this kind of curry as part of their on board stores, and traded it for other supplies when in port in Japan.
Great insight! Thank you 🤙🏼
When?
Commander Matthew Perry of the US Navy forcibly opened Japan to trade in 1854 using gunboat diplomacy, this was a one of the triggers for the Meiji restoration. Initially it was with the US, but other Western Naval powers soon established trade and British style curry powder was introduced sometime in the 1870s.
A well presented selection of British food. Pleased to see you found some good examples and showcased some quality dishes. As a Brit, it's nice to see that you've done your research and showing our food in it's true light. Having eaten in quite a few of the places featured and familiar with all the dishes and foods, I can confirm you picked well.
Just a tip - whenever you have food in the UK with multiple dishes (British or any other cuisine) the default way of eating is put something of everything on the plate and eat together. I've noticed many Americans taste each item on it's own and pick at each item individually, therefore don't always get the best tasting experience.
Mahalo for the tip! We will for sure try that next time😋

Bubble and Squeak is traditionally made from the left over mashed potato and cabbage from the Sunday roast. Its description is onomatopoeic in that when it is in the frying pan the mash potato puffs up and kind of bubbles and it also squeaks when the bubbles burst.
please note;;;
the full english is a morning after special, unless you work as a driver and only get 1 good meal a day ( then the full english will be ok) , the cherry sauce i have never seen & im 67, the steak and kidney pud is normaly served with a mixture of veg or chips ( french fries ). but nice video folks, im glad you enjoyed your stay in the uk
Thank you for your enthusiasm for our much maligned traditional dishes.
Japanese curry was apparently based on British curry during the Meiji era. And katsu curry has in recent years been adopted as a British favourite
Fried bread aka a Fried Slice is very traditional but you don't see it everywhere anymore just because it's seen as unhealthy, I won't have a fried breakfast with toast, it's a fried slice or nothing as it's so delicious! It's most often shallow fried when you make it at home in the fat left in the pan from frying the bacon which makes it extra delicious!
“scrape, scrape”
My Mum's is the best. We don't have it more than once a Year though..
(I hate anything with lard myself)
but my Mum does fry the bread in lard🙈💜(We've tried it in olive oil or sesame oil; doesn't work!😅)
🙏🏻💜🇬🇧💜
We're so glad we were able to find it! Mahalo🤙🏼
@@markjones127, in the austere post-war years that I grew up in, a regular breakfast for us before school was fried bread (in lard) with a scraping of Marmite or Bovril on it.
It was delicious. A couple of slices of that in the morning really set us kids up for the day.
@@Dionysos640 wtf are you talking about?
If I ever get back over to England, it's been 46 years, I'd eat fish n chips every day. I love it!
We wish we could’ve eaten more fish and chips!🤤🤤🤤
Need to try the crumpets hot so the butter melts through it onto the plate . Normally go for 1 with butter and 1 butter and jam . Washed down with a cup of the old Yorkshire tea 💪 .
And use real butter, not that Lurpak spreadable rubbish.
That sounds heavenly
I love how respectful you are, blurring out faces not many vloggers do this and it’s so respectful thank you
You guys went to Dishoom!! 👍🏻Love it. The food there is unbelievably delicious 😋
Life changing! 🤤
Life changing?! Wow! It’s in my neighbourhood but not tried, I need to
@@Myha.Cherie for me, I didn’t have that much India food at home, usually it’s the generic butter chicken for the American tongue. Dishoom’s Indian food tasted way different and better, so I think it’s authentic and taught me more about the spices used in India food. Enjoy Dishoom.
Hi Judy. R u from the US or UK?What difference in taste did u find between UK indian food and Indian food in america?Thanks.
The pie and mash, the liquor is parsley sauce, the pastry is made of suet. What they didn't tell you was to add the chilli vinegar!
Yep came here to say you need to douse it in vinegar or chill vinegar preferably!
Loved that you tried the traditional English foods … this was a great food vlog! Looking forward to more of your UK 🇬🇧 experiences. I really miss London 😢
Mahalo for the kind words🥰 we wish we had more time 😭
I've watched so many of these videos and seriously this is the best by far. The research and variety of things you tried is unreal. Hope you enjoyed!
Wow what an amazing compliment 🥰 much mahaloz for your kind words!🤙🏻
Jam Roly Poly is not made with sponge cake but suet pastry. Also the Steak and Kidney pudding is also made with suet pastry. Suet is made from the fat from around the kidneys of pigs or beef but nowadays you can get vegetarian suet which is a little lighter in texture. Suet pastry is made with flour, suet, water and salt then normally steamed.
Vinegar on chips and little salt ..😊
Love your enthusiasm, so much hate for British food normally but you seemed to enjoy it 😁👍
We did enjoy it! Mahalo🤙🏼
Malt vinegar is for the chips! Forget gravy and mushy peas, for Southeners fish and chip shop style chips are always paired with just malt vinegar and salt - THE BEST!!! 👍
As a Northerner absolutely don't forget the Mushy Peas and Gravy, though i probably wouldn't have Gravy wit Fish and Chips.
The bangers and mash looked like a Cumberland sausage. The flavour that you might not be familiar with is sage, but there are lots of different types of sausages and spice and herb recipes. Cumberland is certainly a classic.
I love me some Cumberland Sausage, i had some about a week ago, with Onion Gravy, my favourite.
Lovely video.
Fish & chips--There's nothing quite like eating cod and chips out of the paper from a chippie at the seaside while sitting on the sea wall on a warm Summer day, a gentle sea breeze blowing and the sound of waves and seagulls.
Crumpets--We called them pikelets growing up where we live. We used to have a coal fire and in the Winter would toast them on the fire on a toasting fork, then lashings of salted butter. So good on cold mornings.
That pikelets sounds amazing!🤤
Pikelets are a thinner version of crumpets where I come from, they aren’t as doughy as some crumpets. I prefer the cheapest, thinnest supermarket crumpets, they toast better, as others have already mentioned the butter should be soaking through the crumpets.
I would say for a True British experience, parked up by the Beach in the pouring Rain.
I don't know how common this is, but most times I've had fried bread it was shallow fried, and only on one side. I love the contrasting textures between the crisp side and the soft side. Also it would probably have been fried in the same oil as the sausages and bacon, absorbing all those meaty flavours.
That sounds amazing 🤤
Great video, growing up we'd always have bubble and squeak for tea (our main evening meal) on a Monday using the leftovers from our Sunday roast the day before, my Mum would always cook too much on purpose so there were plenty of leftovers, it was never neat and tidy and fancy like in a restaurant either, she'd just make a huge frying pan of it and it would be all knobbly and misshapen with loads of brown crusty bits, and we'd have it with gammon and runny fried eggs, so delicious!!!
My mum did the same thing and my dad still does it when we have a roast dinner. But we usually have it with the cold meat from the Sunday roast
Excellent video. Your honesty and openness towards the food you tried is refreshing. One thing though, London has its own specialties and, unlike many food reviewers, you do go around the regions. First class.
Btw - that jam roly poly wasn’t - it was a jam sponge. Roly poly is made with a suet pastry and is very, very rare. It’s also served with custard.
The Sunday Roast was quite unusual - not normal for the meat to be steak. Yes, you should have put lots of gravy on your Yorkshire pudding. The sticky toffee pudding was very unusual - upmarket, not typical. Try Sunday Roast in a Yorkshire pub - much better.
Almost the definitive British food guide.
Thank you for your kind words and information on the food! We hope we can come back for more soon!🤙🏻
Jam Roly Poly is rare if your eating out, but i visited a Friend recently and they made some.
Gosh, that was a fantastic review of so many traditional foods that tourists are very wary of trying. Tucking into black pudding for a winning starter to your taste journey when the usual reaction is a fit of the vapours and blind terror before carving off a single tiny crumb to taste was just amazing. You were both so very open to the experience.
Bravo! Spread the word that we are not still on wartime rations and British food is often not just good but absolutely brilliant. Haggis and deep fried Mars Bars next for you two. 😂
Mahalo for the kind words! We try to keep an open mind when trying another culture's food! Stay tuned for our scottish video coming soon!
Best reaction video to British food I have ever seen 😁
The only downside for me was that roast, have a traditional one in a small village/ town. I hate it when they ponce it up and deconstruct it, should be all on 1 plate smothered in gravy. ❤
Wow what a kind comment! Mahalo❤️
My daughter and I always go to Dishoom when we are in London never been to that one but we've been to the Kings Cross, Carnaby Street and Covent Garden restaurants.
Crumpets are amazing - they are made with yeast, which gives them the holey texture. You absolutely MUST add honey for the ultimate crumpet experience!
We dream of crumpets😋 we gotta try to find them here in Hawaii 🤙🏻
I second this as a brit !! Loads of butter and honey 🍯 ❤
If the butter is not dripping off your elbow then you haven’t prepared it correctly
Or Marmite!
@@AmandaFelixEats happy to bring some for you when I come in late October this year!!
Great to see how much research you did unlike other first timers who don’t understand how things should be done.
The one thing that was slightly wrong is that Jam Roly Poly should always be eaten with CUSTARD rather than ice cream ; custard is eaten with most British desserts, very popular , especially with Spotted Dick and apple crumble and apple pie ( which was invented over 500 years ago in the UK, not in the US) !!
We try to do as much research as we can and we always learn something new ☺️ it was definitely a welcomed difference 👌🏼 it seems a lot of the restaurants serve their traditional dishes in non traditional ways, but still glad we got to try it!
@@AmandaFelixEats 👍👍
Great video good on you for having a go and trying new things and being open minded you’ve showcased what we have very well 👍
Aloha, A&F . . . pleased to see that you re both enjoying yourselves on your visit, and the food here so much . . . It's quite normal to see different ingredients used, as well as different types of food available in each country of the UK - not to mention every county in the UK . . . As the more local you are to each county, you will usually find that the produce used will be more local to the area - as in the meats, fish, and the vegetables being used in them . . . Same with the 800+ varieties of cheese we have here, as almost every county will have its own different makes or options, too . . . A lot of foods are also well-known for only being eaten more in a specific area of the UK . . . Fish (of any type) & Chips, or anything like that, crab cakes, etc, are almost always better when you get them from a coastal "Chippy", as the fish and shellfish come straight from the harbour next to them in most instances . . . Crumpets have options, too - just butter on, honey on, jam on, some will even put Marmite on - as I also do occasionally - but my own preference is usually cheese and melt it under the grill - (not from the square shop-bought packs of them like the Kraft ones though - from the real cheeses, from the mild to the extra mature choices that we have!) . .. Enjoyed watching you both - so I hope you will still enjoy it all a lot more and longer yet . . .
Mahalo for your insight and the kind words! You brought much aloha to our comment section🤙🏼
I’m impressed by you guys trying everything. I don’t think of Americans getting outside of their comfort zone so readily. Thank you for trying everything - when my kids were small I used to say - just try it, you don’t have to like it but can’t say you don’t like it before you try it!
Wow what an amazing compliment 🥰 much mahaloz for your kind words!🤙🏻
The vast majority of Brits would not eat pie and mash like that..That version is very much an East Enders dish... Pies and mash or chips or new potatoes is usually eaten with a rich dark gravy..
Gee you better tell the restaurant that's been there for 150 years that they're doing it wrong.
@@lennybuttz2162 Not wrong, just their way :)
Pie, mash and liqour is very much a Cockney thing.
South London too, gotta love proper pie n mash!
@@NigelThompson-hb5jg more south london than east london, first shop was in southwark
Sausage rolls are sausage meat (NO casing) with puff or flaky pastry, not croissant dough - totally different way of lamination to make the layers and often salty, not sweet.
A few of the things you chose are very, very region specific. The Bath Buns, for example, and the pie, mash and liquor - they are seldom seen outside London, so I wouldn't necessarily say they were "must try" foods. You really need to try regional foods, like going into Wales and eating larva bread, Scotland for Haggis and Cullen Skink, down to Cornwall for Pasties and Stargazey Pie, Bedfordshire for a Clanger, Lancashire for Hot Pot.
And Bubble and Squeak is NOT a typical breakfast food, though it can be added then. It's more often eaten at other times - when first invented it was eaten on Monday to use the left-overs from a Sunday roast, usually around mid-day. And your Sunday roast was a theme, not a true roast. We don't eat steak as a roast meat - we have joints of meat, roasted slowly to the perfect level of done-ness, sliced thinly, covering a third of the plate!
Sticky toffee pudding is a recently invented thing - not truly traditional. Far more traditional is a treacle tart, spotted dick, Bakewell pudding, even a sherry trifle. The invention of apple pie was from the UK, too! And Rhubarb crumble is amazing - most crumbles are, especially served with custard!
BUT - your appreciation of all you tried was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for being open to trying some of the things many visitors shy away from and refuse to consider - marmite and black pudding being the most frequent! You'll have to make a return visit and try some of the things I've mentioned and recommendations from other viewers, too!
I came here to say about the ",roast". Has to be a joint. I cook traditional roasts in my adopted country, Australia 🦘🇦🇺
Mahalo for the insight and tips! We loved our culinary experience and we hope to be back someday to try more!
Thank you! It's like you're in my brain!😂
Depending where you are in the country you can get various accompanying sauces for your chips. Curry sauce, Gravy, Red (ketchup) sauce Brown sauce Fruity sauce (a sweet brown sauce rather than a vinegar one) Mayonnaise, Garlic Mayonnaise etc etc.
Wish we got to try them all🤤🤤🤤
Safe travels in the UK Amanda and Felix! I really enjoy watching you enjoying traditional British foods!!! Makes me wanna fly over and have some. YUM!. Tuning in for more UK vlogs!
Mahalo for the aloha in our video 🥰🤙🏻
The best looking fish n chips I’ve ever seen… Wow!!
Mahalo Mimlou🤙🏻
Way better, bigger and cheaper up North. Most Brits avoid London.
Every Sunday, roast beast and Yorkshire pudd, with roasted potatoes and veg. And and gravy, poured into the Yorkshire pudding. Our family emigrated to Canada from Kent, England.
Sounds amazing🤤🤤🤤
What a fantastic day you must have had filming this! I am British and I admit I'm not normally very enthusiastic about British food but it all looked jolly delicious on your video!
What ? and your British ?
If this was filmed in one day they would look like stereotypical Americans.....overweight.
Get more enthusiastic, we have some great food, i think we are told so often it's bad, by People who have never tried it, we start to believe it, but it's not true we have some wonderful Food, we could just use a bit more Pride.
@@nealgrimes4382 Yes
Thank you for trying our Food with an open mind and not prejudging it as many do, due to our unfounded bad reputation with Food. This started during WW2 with American servicemen stationed here while we had food rationing on.
Wow what an amazing compliment 🥰 much mahaloz for your kind words!🤙🏻
I like that you travelled well & got a broad taste, the descriptions were good & I feel that you enjoyed it, genuine reactions
Mahalo for the kind comment🤙🏼
A traditional Jam roly poly is usually long and rolled dense heavy outer coating with Jam inside and then it’s rolled a bit like a Swiss roll and served with custard.
We've learned from a bunch of you that although it said Jam Roly Poly on the menu, it was not traditional... 😭
Oh how i want some now, now i know what to do with the left over suet i have after making Rag Pudding.
Crumpets over muffins any day, but definitely can be sweet or savoury, I experiment with lots of things on them, even made French toast with them
Canned beans are yummy
@@jamesstone9213 If you get the giant ones you can fit most of a Full English on it, though i like Scrambled Eggs on it.
The pastry on the bottom of the pie is undercooked.
Pue and mash is very different in London because they use liquor instead of gravy.
You need to try pie and mash elsewhere because it is very different.
Don't you know what gravy is??
They are not called pot pies, they are PIES or Meat pies
love the fact you guys like the food in the uk , mushy peas are made with dried peas that soaked before you cook them , marmite is one of those less is more things a little goes a long way , have a great time
Mahalo! 🤙
lol I like to doctor my mushy peas :p add salt and vinegar and stir in really enhances the flavour haha
That's the only way with mushy peas 😋
@@claire4167 That's not really Doctoring it that's literally how you get it in the Chippy i go in, well maybe not stirred in but on top, Fish Chips and Peas in a Tray with plenty Salt and Vinegar, Northern style.
I grew up as a kid near Regency street on Page street have not seen this place in over 30 years good to see the cafe is still running after all these years
In the US... folks order "Fish and Chips".... Period !
In the UK... folks order "Fish and Chips" and specify the variety of fish.
We have English friends and they'll call the restaurant to ask "who's the cook ?"
When informed which cook was on duty that evening, decided to skip it !!!
The travel-bug bit me when I was an 18 year old GI in Germany.
Back then we were allowed 20-days (4-weeks) leave per year.
So... every 3-months I'd take a weeks leave touring Europe.
The place to do my culinary research was at the post library. 😋😋
Mahalo for your service 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 yes, we’re not surprised! In the UK, they take their fish and chips very seriously and for good reason! We wish we had more time to visit more spots 😋
I like the cod.
Shepherds Pie = Lamb, Cottage Pie = Beef, Cumberland Pie = similar to Cottage Pie with cheese added on top (I think). Basically meat in a dish with a mashed potato topping. Good Basic Food.
Nothing beats a Sunday roast/carvery. Chicken/Turkey, Beed, Mash potato, Roast potato, Carrots, Cabbage/Spinnach, Broccoli, Yorkshire Pudding and Gravy
😋😋😋
Your Bubble & Squeak is traditionally made from the leftovers above 😉
Cocaine and Prostitutes beats that.
OMG all the food looks so delicious! How is the shopping? Continue to enjoy your trip. Blessings 💖🙏🌺💖
Mahalo Patricia for the aloha in our comment section 🤙🏻 shopping was a bit tricky since the dollar to pound exchange is a bit high 😢 we mostly bought snacks!
Thanks guys, an amazing video and as an englishman, I'm proud that my country could give you some of our traditional food to make you happy. We have a bad reputation for bad food that is taught in other countries. Thankyou for being honest. :)
We truly enjoyed our culinary experience and we hope to try more next time! Mahalo
While family from Hawaii, my mother was not. My father met her in college. We have had Steak and Kidney pie every Christmas day for 70 years in my family, with a sister doing the cooking. Works really well with pepper water.
Wow that sounds amazing! Love the local integration with the chili peppa 🌶️🤙🏻
Loved seeing your reactions to eating our foods.
Nice work, guys. I lived in London for 3 years and have been to Edinburgh twice. You uncovered more great places to eat than I found the whole time I was there. I spend half the year in Makakilo now, so hope to see you around.
👍
Mahalo for the kind words🤙🏼
I quite like a crumpet with grilled cheddar cheese on top with a sprinkle of black pepper.
That sounds yummy!
The steak and kidney pudding is made with suet shredded beef fat , and then its steamed so is soft and stodgy. The jam roly poly goes best with custard . the pie and mash usually you drown it in vinigar not chilli vinigar , mushy peas and curry sauce is an up north of the country thing . The sausage roll is flaky pastry . I loved how you were very open to our food . Its based on the weather , we live in a cold wet country so the food is heavy with lots of potatoes and veg . I'm now a fan and have subscribed
I havent had fried bread in years but i hankering for it now. Just a fyi for you with Yorkshires they can be used for desert covered with jam.
So glad that you loved the black pudding. Its my favourite food and wish more people would give it a chance
Amazing Vlog Foodie Ohana ! Enjoy you two ! So much delicious eats ! You guys did awesome !!! Safe Travels !
Mahalo Gail for the aloha on this video 🤙🏻
full english had fried bread not toast, people started having toast because it was healthier than fried bread.
a slice of white bread buttered both sides then lightly fried until crisp...
fried black pudding
fried egg
fried mushrooms (chestnut mushrooms are the best)
fried quarter tomatos
fried sausage
fried bacon
notice everything is fried... thats because it all gets done in the same pan to keep the flavors
baked beans came in later and were done in a seperate pan.
one thing many dont try is
dripping on toast
dripping sandwiches buttered and you add a pinch of salt too...
one thing i grew up with in the morning as a kid was dripping on toast, then when i began work it was the full english to set me up for the day on the farm estate.
Mahalo!. You two have impressed me with your appreciation of the dishes we have over here. Food from the UK should, in one dish, fill you up so you dont become hungry so quickly. Spice i find masks the taste of food.
I'm flying to London tomorrow night. You've given me a couple of new things to try
Whooohooo! Enjoy 🇬🇧🤙🏻
Bravo to both of you!! Thank you for trying real British food, including the dishes that made their home here when people came to live here from overseas. Have to say I held my breath when you tried Marmite. That amount of Marmite goes over a whole slice of toast! 😊 You are correct that tea is taken seriously here. But that tea is really weak compared to how most Brits drink it at home. The average cuppa is about 5 shades darker. The Steak & Kidney Pudding is made with suet pastry which is designed to be boiled or steamed. Your Steak Pie at the chippy was puff pastry.
Awesome. Thank you !
That roast in Edinburgh looked first class❤
The bad thing about traveling and experiencing the food is that there are so many foods to try so you don't want to eat a dish multiple times even when if it's delicious. See you are going to Bourgh Market next, I hope you had the Humble Crumble.
So true! We wish we had more time to try more🤤 can’t wait to show our borough market foodie adventure!🤙🏻
Another thing to try from Gregg’s in the cheese and onion pasties
Loved this video and how you tried different foods in London. Now I want to go there. Bucket list forming. Mahalo
Mahalo for your kind words Jocelyn 🥰 Definitely a must visit at least once✈️🇬🇧
Both of your cardigan games are on point!! 😍 Thank you for taking us along and helping me relive my time in England for my college British Lit class over a decade ago! My favorite dishes while I was there were all the homemade delectable soups and crusty baguettes in the little mom and pop cafes 😋
The bakeries there are so cute! ♥️
Loved this episode! I really really want to try the sticky toffee pudding, it looked so ono! Amanda, u have a new hair style? Gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us❤
Mahalo for the kind words Barbara🩷🥰 the sticky toffee pudding will be on my mind for a while 🤤
The real rolly Polly pudding is made with pastry. Spread with jam rolled up and baked ,eaten with custard.
Steak n Ale... often pronounced "ache and stale" is enriched with a local real ale. Since they tend to be regional, the taste and quality of a steak and ale pie can vary from place to place!
Thank you! We appreciate your insight!
Maybe pronounced often by you, as ache and stale, but i have never heard it uttered thus.
@@nealgrimes4382 Really... maybe just local to me... who knew ;)
@@Mark_Bickerton I have heard Snake and Eel, but never that, not just trying to be contrary.
@@nealgrimes4382 I've never hears of Snake and Eel lol. I guess we are even ::)
Your reviews are great, I enjoyed how you linked everything back to flavours and textures that you know, that’s how I describe new food too ☺️ My only tip would be that when eating British food try to get a bite of everything on your fork! It can be tricky, especially with an English Breakfast, but having a taste of everything is how our meals are usually enjoyed.
Mahalo for the tip!
I have marmite on 2 hot buttered slices of bread with a fried egg between the toast,spread marmite very thinly and enjoy.
Yum!
Gotta have a thick coating of butter and a thin spread of marmite.
Fish fingers chips and peas is very traditional with bread & butter proper meal.
It's cool to see people who aren't British really enjoying black pudding. For me, it's not a full English without it.
Bubble and Squeak is also amazing but such a rarity these days. It's traditionally made with leftover potatoes and veg from a Sunday roast.
Thank you for the insight!
For Sunday Roast with my Great Grandmother we used to have half of the Yorkshire Pudding with the Main Meal and then half with Jam for desert. Its essentially the same batter mix you make Pancakes with.
Ginger pig sausage rolls are elite! Greggs are very decent and for the price excellent value. Other good sausage rolls include Gail's and Dunn's
Glad to see u guys in London also London have good food!
Never known a pie being turned over…the crusty top is part of the comfort. Fork and spoon was the traditional way of eating it where I grew up (Stratford) and you have to add (chilli) vinegar and white pepper to season the whole thing. It looked superb!
I totally loved that video . Englishman born and raised , on the playgr....nah kidding.
Well done for getting stuck in to some of the foods . I have a American B.I.L. who will not no matter what try kidney or black pudding , yet he will go out and hunt animals for his dinner. Many of the best foods are peasant foods i.e. pizza , pasta , offal . etc.
Bangers & mash , bubble & squeak , hot pot , scouse, welsh rarebit , all came about from having a food shortage.
Calfs cheek in Manchester is amazing , Haggis in Scotland , Irish stew , all wonderful . The only things I draw the line at are tripe , and stargazey pie. but I know people who say they are wonderful .
Cant wait for the next one , and arent a full cream tea surprising filling ?
What an amazing compliment! Mahalo🤙🏼
Ive had a quick look through the comments. im unable to find anyone mention this re-pie and mash. Up north we eat pie with meat gravy. ( we eat everything with gravy) parsley sauce is more southern uk
Mahalo for the insight!
I must say you both are very gracious in your praise of our food, we wouldn’t mind if you didn’t like certain things, but thank you anyway. The fried bread you had is actually French toast, fried bread is only toasted on the one side, traditionally you would spread beef fat known as dripping on the side you want to toast, these days you would simply dip in oil and toast on the grill.
British fried bread is usually fried on both sides. French toast is different. It is dredged in eggs and milk before frying. As they were eating at an Italian establishment, it may have been soaked in just milk and fried.
@@Bevie2003 very true, but definitely from my little part of the country fried bread was made by dipping one side in beef dripping and toasting that side only but semantics I guess
I'm glad that you tried the typical English food. You have to try it. I have not tried the roly poly dessert. I hope you ate more Indian food. I really enjoyed it when I was there. Looking forward to part 2.
Stay tuned! Mahalo! 🤙
Love your channel. Dishoom is absolutely amazing, did you try their chai tea and breakfast?
Sally Lunn's bun taste much better when it is toasted, especially with their brandy butter (unfortunately, it is only available around Christmas time). Toast the bun with butter or clotted cream is heavenly
The British way of making their tea is to pour in milk or cream first, then sugar and finally pouring in the tea so that you don't have to stir at all.
Thanks for the tips! We're learning so much! Mahalo🤙🏼
Nice reviews guys, you ate well and in some very nice places. That jam roly-poly was probably made as steamed suet pastry which is why it's quite dense and very moist.
