The pork pie is wrong, it's not "Fat" that surrounds the Pork it's Gelotine, if you heated the pie the Jello will melt. These giys really have no idea what they are talking about, to describe Marmite as "Greasy"makes me wonder if they have even tried it. 😂 ( i had to stop the video after that cos i got so annoyed).....
Yes, toad in the hole with onion gravy! A great meal. Eaten for lunch or evening meal. Takes too long to make for breakfast. How can egg on toast be toad in the hole? It has to have meat in it.
There are hard shiny shelled peas, referred to as garden peas and there are marrowfat peas, which are very different. The peas in mushy peas are not smashed, they are just marrowfat peas that break down more than garden peas when cooked and they do not have that hard shiny shell to hold their shape. If you cook some potato in a casserole long enough it breaks down the same way. Smashed garden peas would not create a mushy pea accompaniment like the one talked about, it would be a different flavour and texture.
The 'key' to making 'Mushy Peas' is NOT just to use marrowfat peas, BUT to cook them in 'BAKING SODA*' _(for softening, preferably overnight)_ ... Dissolve the baking soda in BOILING water. Place the dried marrowfat peas in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them so they’re covered by at LEAST 3 inches of water. Give the peas a stir then leave them to soak for AT LEAST 12 hours. After soaking, drain and rinse the peas and place them in a pan with about 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the desired consistency is reached. NOTE: How long you have to simmer the peas will depend on the particular crop and the age of the peas. Once the peas have fully broken down add the salt. If the peas are TOO WATERY, continue to simmer with the lid off until it thickens to your liking. If the peas are TOO THICK, add a little water. Taste again and add more salt if needed. Once the peas are done they will start to thicken the longer they sit. If reheating them later or the next day, add a little more water. 😋👍👍👍 EDIT: *AKA Bicarbonate of Soda...
A crumpet is nothing like a muffin. A crumpet is closer to a pancake, made from batter. A muffin is a type of bread roll made from dough. Very different.
Are they stupid ??? ITS not fat stupid it's gelatine!,!you're just as bad disliking some thing without trying !! Tou liked haggis yet you slag of porkpie ,,,A cornish paste was a miners lunch the original paste came in two half's Frist peace was meat a d vegetable part 2 was a sweet .. The only thing I can tell you is stop listening to th3se idiots !!!😮😮😢😢😢😢
@margaretflounders8510 wow, really? Another reason I'm glad to have Yorkshire as my home. Every butcher/farm shop still makes with jelly here. Sometimes you can buy them warm and have to keep them upright so they don't leak lol. Although I lived in the home counties for a few years in the late 90s and the pork pies down there were rubbish even then. My mum used to buy me some pies in when I came back up to visit as she knew how much I missed a proper pork pie. I'd never touch a supermarket PPie though. The filling's grey. Yuck. But a proper small batch pie is unbeatable. Also great in winter heated through with mushy peas and mint sauce covering it. Proper bonfire food. 😋
No! Aspic is not used in pork pies. The jelly is actually gelatine and is usually (well, the descent stuff) made from animal products (bones and the like). In pork pies, the jelly should be flavoured with pork stock. In the idiot's immature and undeveloped palette, this been perceived as grease. It is him that is broken, not the pork pie.
Mushy peas. Originally made from dried marrowfat peas, ( which last for a long time in store), soaked in water to soften then cooked. ( look up "pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold). These days whilst you can still still buy them dried, most caterers buy them ready soaked , in tins. You can also make an excellent soup from them which was a favourite dish for sailors, who mostly ate preserved foods.
There was a butcher near where I used to work and if you went in in the morning you could get hot out of the oven pork pies and sausage rolls. The sausage rolls were in flaky pastry but they were both far superior to any mass produced ones.
Those two are so consistently incorrect on nearly everything they say. Crumpets are not muffins. Muffins are a bread. Crumpets are made from a batter There is no fat in Pork Pie. It’s an Apsic Jelly in between the meat and the pastry. Cornwall is a county not a city. Everytime I see one of their videos I cringe. In my opinion if you make videos about someone else’s culture you should at least make sure your ur facts are correct and they don’t. Mushy peas are made from marrowfat peas and don’t always have mint. Mint is sometimes added but not always. Please take anything they say with a pinch of salt as they haven’t got a clue. They are so inaccurate.
They seem to be making things up as they go. Just to try to make themselves look important. The only thing that they are doing is convincing people how stupid they are.
I’m not saying I’m right at all lol. Aussie here found this on the internet. * Marmite was invented in the late 1800s by a German scientist named Justus von Liebig when he discovered that leftover brewers' yeast could be concentrated and eaten *According to the Marmite Museum, Marmite entered the UK market in 1902. However, the recipe has links to other foods that go back to the 17th century. So, Marmite definitely came first. Aussie here. I ate Vegemite on toast for breakfast for decades. I stopped for a a few years - omg it tasted sooo strong lol. I understood how others trying it felt lol. And if u only google it - u get different results each search lol. I’d never heard about the Germans and marmite? Have you? I think us Aussies stole our Vegemite from the UK lol
A mini pork pie is a buffet and picnic staple in the UK (maybe I can only speak for England?) . Melton Mobray ones are the famous ones, but there are lots of variations. Some butchers do sell them hot, I much prefer them cold. Like sausage rolls really. The jelly in a pork pie is lovely, the pastry is amazing. They're not even slightly healthy, so obviously they taste amazing.
The problem with Marmite and Vegimite is that people who have never tried either of them ALWAYS put way too much of it on toast or whatever you use. You should literally scrape it on and then scrape it off again. It is very strong and, as we say in England you should really just show the spread to the toast! It's very savoury.
Bit of a joke saying that American's don't like their fat when many of their foods generally have lots of trans fats, the most unhealthy type of fats. The substance that surrounds the pork in a pork pie is not fat but a type of jelly. I lived in California for a few years and I'm married to an American wife. One thing is for sure, UK and EU food is of much better quality and generally contains less artificial preservatives, colorings, and many other additives that are banned, many of them in most of the world, but OK to eat in the US.
I used to get a pork pie at lunchtime, then at work, put it on top of my monitor to gently warm up for an afternoon snack when the jelly was warm and a little runny. Def one of my fave snacks, eaten at anytime. 😊
A lot of Brits would be baffled by the comments of this couple. Mushy peas are mashed peas with mint? Pork pie is filled with fat? No! No! No! So many more errors as well.
Mushy peas are not made with fresh/frozen peas -- they are made with marrowfat peas -- peas that have been germinated (and usually dried, then rehydrated) then cooked with bicarbonate of soda. Marvellous especially with pie and chips, or fish and chips from your local chip shop.
Pork pie is surrounded by more of a jelly substance rather than straight fat. The jelly substance is rendered fat and bone marrow. Basicly you take the fat trimming and the crushed bone and boil them to add flavour amd to keep them meat moist while it cooks and cools also keeps the meat fresh while it sits to be eaten
The gelatine and stock mix is actually added when the pie has cooled a little. This allows the meat to shrink away from the case, allowing room for the gelatine to surround the filling. To address the bloke's point about eating the pies cold, I find the cold jelly (gets its name from gelatine) refreshing on the palette and for me, this is the point. The fact that it helps to keep the pie from drying out is a bonus (they do not survive in my house long enough to dry out.
For those trying it for the 1st time Marmite should be spread very very very very verrrrrrrrrrry thin on buttered bread or toast. Marmite goes very well with cheese in a sandwich as the some of the strength of the marmite is absorbed into the cheese, and for those from the USA again butter the bread as there's been a lot of reactors from the USA that don't.
Plus what Americans call bread is basically cake in the rest of the world. America puts far too much sugar in it. Flour, yeast and water is all that you should have in the mix to make bread.
I can't stand the stuff but my boss asked me to make him some on toast once. I put it on like I'd put Nutella on, I didn't want to appear stingy. I was shocked when he looked horrified & said he couldn't eat it! 🤣🤣
Mint and peas are a great combination. Mushy peas with a little mint sauce are fantastic. In the midlands, they drink it like bovril. I've never known sugar to be added. It must be the mint sauce they're tasting.
on the subject of Wallace & Gromit - their cinematic Tour De force = "the Wrong Trousers" contains the best chase scene since the dawn of motion pictures!
Crumpets are completely different to English muffins. Digestive are biscuits but they where made to help digestion thats literally what its for. We mostly use it to make the base of a cheesecake and honestly ive never once had one made using actual cheese
The most simple thing to make would be a Sunday roast which is roast beef with roast potatoes, vegetables Yorkshire pudding and lots of thick gravy. Loads of info on the internet. Haggis tastes brilliant you’re better not knowing what it’s made of but I have it at least once a week . Great video 👍
Dude, watch a few videos on how to make a proper british pastie and give it a go. The hard part is getting the pastry right but other than that, any filling you like. Traditional ones here generally contain a savoury ground beef and onion mixed with various veg or cheese onion potato and black pepper for the vegetarians. The total number of 'types' of pasty has to be close to a couple of hundred, just find a filling you like!
I am English, I love clotted cream, my hubby and I went through a faze where we would go for tea and scones, that came with the clotted cream and we were in our young twenties, but I really just went for the cream. We have had them at home too, gotta watch the arteries now though. Pork pies: I absolutely hate them, I am in the minority though. I dont know anyone else who does, there is also a variant of pork pies, called Gala pie, this has boiled eggs running through the middle, Yuck to that too, he he I can take or leave crumpets, we just eat them whenever. No special time and they are nothing like English muffins, they are made from a batter, muffins are more of a bread mix. Had haggis years ago, once and I have to agree, its lovely, we had neeps and tatties too.
I think I mentioned on the wandering Ravens OG post (back when they still existed) that the thing about CRUMPETS is that because they are the perfect vessel for LOADS OF BUTTER, they are also the perfect vessel to top that butter off with MARMITE (and maybe a bit of melted cheese if you feel decadent).
Why would you ruin it with Marmite?! 🤢😆 I have them with just butter 95% of the time, sometimes with ham cheese & a poached egg if I'm feeling fancy or butter & Nutella if I'm feeling naughty. It's one of the only things that are cheap but can feel indulgent as they're still 45p for 6 in Aldi ☺️
They claim to have seen crumpets, yet then say they're like muffins. They're not. Pork pies don't have fat in them (save in the meat), it's a gelatine. Cornwall is a county, not a city. The Wandering Ravens often wander into making some mistakes.
I love pork pies. They are the perfect snack. It isn't fat inside the pie but a savoury jelly. I have Marmite on buttered toast every morning. Vegimite is similar but is different (and not as good, in my opinion).
you cant get true cornish pasties outside of cornwall, yes there are copies, but thr traditional cornish pasty with traditional receipe, can only be made in cornwall,
* Marmite or Vegemite - a love it or hate it items, some love them, I and many others hate it. Spread it very, very thin (a small smear), DO NOT EAT IT BY THE SPOONFUL. * Crumpets - toast them, (I like themtoasted until the outside is crispy) then butter while hot - you can eat or add jam or marmalade * Pork pie - the pie is made and then the gelatine injected to fill up the space (originally a way of short term preservation). Best eaten as a picnic or snack food , add mustard (English mustard is hotter than the American Yellow Mustard, or with pickle (like Branston's pickle) - they can be a bit bland without mustard or pickle. * Mushy Peas - traditional side with fish and chips, not everyone likes them but I like them. * Digestive Biscuits - I like them with cheese, they don't dunk well as they disintegrate very easy. They do chocolate coated Digestives, easier to eat but I still like them with cheese, a mature Cheddar (real cheddar) or Red Leicester in my case. Stilton (a soft, creamy blue cheese) is good too. * Toad in the Hole - needs lots of onion gravy. Can either be part of a roast dinner or (big ones) used as a trencher (edible plate) into which beef or other meat and vegetables are served, again lots of onion gravy.
They just don’t get marmite; it’s in a small jar for a reason - it’s spread very thin. These 2 probably put far too much in the toast. It’s full of vitamins!
Really need you to come to the UK and do a video of you tasting these various foods - You will also have to experience the Greggs Sausage Roll Marmite is best off starting off small, add a thin layer to your buttered bread/toast if you enjoy it, then you can always add more. Muffins & Crumpets are two completely different things - The Muffin is baked as you would a cake, The Crumpet is more of a thicker cratered pancake However, in America, it's a different thing, their English Muffin is more like our crumpets, but the original Muffin recipe is different The better the pork pie is, the less "fat" it will have. it is actually a savoury gelatine that not only does it help to preserve the contents it also helps fill the casing just in case the meat shrinks in the oven. Pies that are made with a pastry casing that uses cold water are generally eaten hot and those made with hot water are usually best served cold. The best Haggis that I loved to eat was sausage shaped and deep fried - can either be eaten hot or cold the next morning after a night out Pasties - way back in the day, it was filled with meat at one end and fruit in the other so those eating would literally have 2 courses in one (The sweet end would be marked so the diner knew which end to start with) Mushy Peas are generally not made with Mint - There is a variation where like with normal peas you can cook them with mint but it's not the 'Norm' Digestives were originally named as they were thought to have have digestive aiding properties due to certain ingredients
Its a laugh that they say the Americans dont like eating fat .. when your bacon is literally 90% fat with very little meat on it, whereas our bacon is 80-90% meat with fat just along the edge.
@gerardflynn7382 I know but that's a horrible name....even though that's what it is....I'm the only one in my family who will eat it....Might have some tonight actually!
@doddsy2978 well I've got some in my fridge now...readily available everywhere...Just surprised it's not legally renamed to multicultural pudding these days.
English muffins or muffins, as they are/were known in England until US coffee shops came over here and started calling spongey cupcakes/buns muffins too.
A good pork pie awesome but a cheap one not so good crumpets eaten mainly breakfast toasted with real butter and jam or marmite but great comfort food any time of the day 🇬🇧🇬🇧
another thing, a cookie and a biscuit are two different items, the cookie is soft and gooey, a biscuit is a French word THAT means cooked twice until crispy without burning them, the result are two different items one has a nice crunch the cookie is chewy
@USACULTURESHOCK I'm a /// fan, currently sitting on about 80 pairs of unworn classics, the football casual culture has been an influence on me. (UK casual culture might be something you'd find interesting).
Vegemite and Marmite are similar but not the same product; Vegemite has additional spices and vegetable-based ingredients giving it a more savoury flavour, so if you didn't like that, I doubt you'd like Marmite. I hate it, but one of my cats loves it! (the other cat does not!)
Marmite needs to be very thin, extremely thin. and it then produces a rich umami flavour. people add way too much marmite, it like people drinking a glass of soy sauce and complaining its salty.
marmite is a very polarising taste, there were adverts to the effect that you either love it or hate it, which brings us to cheese, if you think marmite is strongly flavoured then it just goes to show that some brits will eat some very strange things,1 for instance, blue stilton or danish blue where the veins in the cheese are caused by bacteria to produce an extremely ripe smell and flavour so stinking bishop has quite a level of popularity. I know others are picking holes in the video but it is their perspective so can be forgiven. And that video only touches the edge of the plate as it were. Our little Isle is split into counties, much like the US is split into states. Each county can lay claim to a few different specialities in their recipe books so Happy hunting.
Marmite is the older big brother of Vegemite... Vegemite is sweet compared to Marmite, PS: I love it ^_^ Crumpets are not "English Muffins."... English Muffins are just muffins, Crumpets are fried not baked. Pork pie... its NOT FAT! it's natural gelatine. if you eat non vegan gummies, you're eating gelatine.
Yeah, Americans would rather eat plastic and chemicals in their food than actual food, like animal fat. One is dangerous and not food, and the other is perfectly fine, nutritious, and actual food. Also, the comment 'I don't eat pork,' is stupid. If you dislike it, that's fine, but to say you just don't eat it is rediculous.
it would be good to try and make it yourself, so that you can learn the taste before coming here (tourism is expensive, best not to make many mistakes). it may not be truly legit with the taste, but it'll be good enough to get an idea at least.
If you want to cook pasties I suggest checking out Master Baker John Kirkwood's channel.. He recently mode some lovely looking spicy chicken pasties. If you can make Jamaican patties (which I also love) you can make pasties. Just a different pastry.
There is only one filling for pasties and it ain't chicken. Chuck steak, Swede, potato, onion and seasoning. All shoved in a pastry case and cooked slowly. My source? I was taught in a school in the middle of Newquay!
Pork pies are not covered in fat it’s a belly gravy that is set Crumpets are not like English muffin’s Marmite we use in cooking to like Bovril It would be hard to make British dises the same as we do dew to ingredients etc Mashy peas ate bit like that lol they have vinegar in not sugar Never tried stinky bishop cheese I live in London Brie cheddar that sort of cheese on daily Toad in hole is dosage in yorkie pudding and it’s not breakfast it’s dinner
Real mushy peas, are made using marrow fat peas! The restaurants tend to just mash up regular peas, which is nowhere near as good! If your having fish and chips, get it from a proper fish and chip shop! Ask for mushy peas and curry sauce. as an side order with your fish and chips! And ask for cod, as haddock has its skin left on most of the time! Some people like the skin on haddock, so I would stick to cod!
Crumpets are nothing like an English muffin.
I know ... i have no idea how they could think so ....

Mint and peas go so well together. Next time your boiling some peas, throw in a few sprigs of mint. Amazing!

The only similarity between a crumpet & a muffin is the size & shape!

Me too. They are really annoying
Try digestives with a good, sharp cheddar -- good for a quick snack/meal with an apple.
Rich tea are great with cheese too
The problem with Marmite and Vegimite is that people who have never tried either of them ALWAYS put way too much of it on toast or whatever you use. You should literally scrape it on and then scrape it off again. It is very strong and, as we say in England you should really just show the spread to the toast! It's very savoury.
Pork pies nice with a salad .. you can put mustard, salad cream, etc on it!
i like it with branston pickle
Absolutely no Mayo.
That’s not a definition of mushy peas, they don’t usually have mint in them, If bought from a fish and chip shop.

Marmite goes very well with cheese in a sandwich as the some of the strength of the marmite is absorbed into the cheese, and for those from the USA again butter the bread as there's been a lot of reactors from the USA that don't.
Plus what Americans call bread is basically cake in the rest of the world.
America puts far too much sugar in it.
Flour, yeast and water is all that you should have in the mix to make bread.
I can't stand the stuff but my boss asked me to make him some on toast once. I put it on like I'd put Nutella on, I didn't want to appear stingy. I was shocked when he looked horrified & said he couldn't eat it! 🤣🤣
@@scattyfi no wonder you can't stand it 😂 one of the best foods ever when sparingly paired with lashings of butter
Mint and peas are a great combination.
Mushy peas with a little mint sauce are fantastic. In the midlands, they drink it like bovril.
I've never known sugar to be added. It must be the mint sauce they're tasting.
Americans add sugar and salt to absolutely everything.
Yeuck
That is so Interesting, I would love to try it😊
on the subject of Wallace & Gromit - their cinematic Tour De force = "the Wrong Trousers" contains the best chase scene since the dawn of motion pictures!
I haven't seen it but I must have a look.
Crumpets are completely different to English muffins. Digestive are biscuits but they where made to help digestion thats literally what its for. We mostly use it to make the base of a cheesecake and honestly ive never once had one made using actual cheese
The most simple thing to make would be a Sunday roast which is roast beef with roast potatoes, vegetables Yorkshire pudding and lots of thick gravy. Loads of info on the internet. Haggis tastes brilliant you’re better not knowing what it’s made of but I have it at least once a week . Great video 👍
I've worked for American's, none of whom knew how we roast potatoes!..They think potatoes are nearly always mashed, with chicken and gravy..
They would love it!! Some say it's what they miss when they go back to the USA
Oats and barley boiled in a sheep's stomach.
@@gerardflynn7382 And minced mutton. I have haggis slice fried for breakfast very often
Toad in the hole is something you throw together for dinner on a rainy Thursday and you need comfort food
With veg, mashed potato and lots of onion gravy!
@@jemmajames6719 💯 a nice healthy blob of proper mustard doesn't go amiss too 😋
Dude, watch a few videos on how to make a proper british pastie and give it a go. The hard part is getting the pastry right but other than that, any filling you like. Traditional ones here generally contain a savoury ground beef and onion mixed with various veg or cheese onion potato and black pepper for the vegetarians. The total number of 'types' of pasty has to be close to a couple of hundred, just find a filling you like!
I couldn't finish this video. You're cool, but the couple are just annoyingly wrong.
I am English, I love clotted cream, my hubby and I went through a faze where we would go for tea and scones, that came with the clotted cream and we were in our young twenties, but I really just went for the cream. We have had them at home too, gotta watch the arteries now though. Pork pies: I absolutely hate them, I am in the minority though. I dont know anyone else who does, there is also a variant of pork pies, called Gala pie, this has boiled eggs running through the middle, Yuck to that too, he he I can take or leave crumpets, we just eat them whenever. No special time and they are nothing like English muffins, they are made from a batter, muffins are more of a bread mix. Had haggis years ago, once and I have to agree, its lovely, we had neeps and tatties too.
*phase
I think I mentioned on the wandering Ravens OG post (back when they still existed) that the thing about CRUMPETS is that because they are the perfect vessel for LOADS OF BUTTER, they are also the perfect vessel to top that butter off with MARMITE (and maybe a bit of melted cheese if you feel decadent).
Why would you ruin it with Marmite?! 🤢😆 I have them with just butter 95% of the time, sometimes with ham cheese & a poached egg if I'm feeling fancy or butter & Nutella if I'm feeling naughty. It's one of the only things that are cheap but can feel indulgent as they're still 45p for 6 in Aldi ☺️
@@scattyfi Your opinion of Marmite is my opinion of Nutella. That said, the recipe is pretty well the same (lots of butter and some brown goop).
They claim to have seen crumpets, yet then say they're like muffins. They're not.
Pork pies don't have fat in them (save in the meat), it's a gelatine.
Cornwall is a county, not a city.
The Wandering Ravens often wander into making some mistakes.
I love pork pies. They are the perfect snack. It isn't fat inside the pie but a savoury jelly.
I have Marmite on buttered toast every morning. Vegimite is similar but is different (and not as good, in my opinion).
you cant get true cornish pasties outside of cornwall, yes there are copies, but thr traditional cornish pasty with traditional receipe, can only be made in cornwall,
Pork pie and English mustard 👌
Vegemite tastes like burnt cabbage. It has added veg, marmite does not. They are both from the residue left when making beer.
You either love it ir hate it .I love it personally
* Marmite or Vegemite - a love it or hate it items, some love them, I and many others hate it. Spread it very, very thin (a small smear), DO NOT EAT IT BY THE SPOONFUL.
* Crumpets - toast them, (I like themtoasted until the outside is crispy) then butter while hot - you can eat or add jam or marmalade
* Pork pie - the pie is made and then the gelatine injected to fill up the space (originally a way of short term preservation). Best eaten as a picnic or snack food , add mustard (English mustard is hotter than the American Yellow Mustard, or with pickle (like Branston's pickle) - they can be a bit bland without mustard or pickle.
* Mushy Peas - traditional side with fish and chips, not everyone likes them but I like them.
* Digestive Biscuits - I like them with cheese, they don't dunk well as they disintegrate very easy. They do chocolate coated Digestives, easier to eat but I still like them with cheese, a mature Cheddar (real cheddar) or Red Leicester in my case. Stilton (a soft, creamy blue cheese) is good too.
* Toad in the Hole - needs lots of onion gravy. Can either be part of a roast dinner or (big ones) used as a trencher (edible plate) into which beef or other meat and vegetables are served, again lots of onion gravy.
dump the sugar, mix peas, mint and vinegar taste it all the time, till you get it right, its soooo good on fries and fryed fish dishes.
They just don’t get marmite; it’s in a small jar for a reason - it’s spread very thin. These 2 probably put far too much in the toast. It’s full of vitamins!
Marmite/Vegemite is brilliant in a toasted sandwich with peanut butter. Kicks peanut butter with jam/jelly out of the stadium!!
I love marmite on toast with lashings of butter
Vegemite is basically marmite diluted with vegetable extract. Its like marmite lite. Lol ;)
In the old days before refrigerators, meats were cooked and stored in pastry. The pastry was not eaten, the salt and fat would help it last longer.
For a dinner with friends I would serve cheeses like stinking Bishop, Sage Derby, Caerphilly, Double Gloucester, and best of all Stilton.
dude disliking marmite, you use spray cheese,errmmmm
The funny thing is that the spray cheese has absolutely no cheese in it.
You simply cannot call that rubbish cheese.
Crumpets totally different to muffins
Marmite comes from brewers beer yeast, and is very good for you in tiny doses, just a smear on your bread/butter other wise you'd spit it out!
You can eat Pork pies Hot or Cold and the jelly is more or less depending on what Town or City you visit
Digestives are for improving your digestion.
To eat the ideal pork pie, first find a cricket match, buy half a pint of cider and a pork pie, sit back, relax and enjoy the cricket !
Really need you to come to the UK and do a video of you tasting these various foods - You will also have to experience the Greggs Sausage Roll
Marmite is best off starting off small, add a thin layer to your buttered bread/toast if you enjoy it, then you can always add more.
Muffins & Crumpets are two completely different things - The Muffin is baked as you would a cake, The Crumpet is more of a thicker cratered pancake
However, in America, it's a different thing, their English Muffin is more like our crumpets, but the original Muffin recipe is different
The better the pork pie is, the less "fat" it will have. it is actually a savoury gelatine that not only does it help to preserve the contents it also helps fill the casing just in case the meat shrinks in the oven.
Pies that are made with a pastry casing that uses cold water are generally eaten hot and those made with hot water are usually best served cold.
The best Haggis that I loved to eat was sausage shaped and deep fried - can either be eaten hot or cold the next morning after a night out
Pasties - way back in the day, it was filled with meat at one end and fruit in the other so those eating would literally have 2 courses in one (The sweet end would be marked so the diner knew which end to start with)
Mushy Peas are generally not made with Mint - There is a variation where like with normal peas you can cook them with mint but it's not the 'Norm'
Digestives were originally named as they were thought to have have digestive aiding properties due to certain ingredients
Its a laugh that they say the Americans dont like eating fat .. when your bacon is literally 90% fat with very little meat on it, whereas our bacon is 80-90% meat with fat just along the edge.
Very little meat would work out, given your figures, as about 10% 🙂
The gelatin isn’t fat
I’m British and I have never eaten an English muffin, loads of crumpets, but never muffins 😂
Missed out on black pudding x
Or as they would call it, blood sausage.
@gerardflynn7382 I know but that's a horrible name....even though that's what it is....I'm the only one in my family who will eat it....Might have some tonight actually!
Where? Were they doling out Black Pudding and I missed it?🤣
@doddsy2978 well I've got some in my fridge now...readily available everywhere...Just surprised it's not legally renamed to multicultural pudding these days.
English muffins or muffins, as they are/were known in England until US coffee shops came over here and started calling spongey cupcakes/buns muffins too.
A good pork pie awesome but a cheap one not so good crumpets eaten mainly breakfast toasted with real butter and jam or marmite but great comfort food any time of the day 🇬🇧🇬🇧
A great classic they missed to mention.... Spotted Dick and custard... Yum yum
I live in Blackburn , Lancashire England 😊😊😊
Never been but love the food
another thing, a cookie and a biscuit are two different items, the cookie is soft and gooey, a biscuit is a French word THAT means cooked twice until crispy without burning them, the result are two different items one has a nice crunch the cookie is chewy
Pork pie is best with HP sauce on the side. Very good. Not fat meat jelly.
Yeah i wanna watch you cook uk food
You could trade a few pairs of sneaks (keep the Timberland) for the cost of the flight and some digs.
😂😂 I really should
@USACULTURESHOCK I'm a /// fan, currently sitting on about 80 pairs of unworn classics, the football casual culture has been an influence on me. (UK casual culture might be something you'd find interesting).
Q We have a saying here in England don't knock it till you have tried it .
Marmite you either love it or hate it
Vegemite and Marmite are similar but not the same product; Vegemite has additional spices and vegetable-based ingredients giving it a more savoury flavour, so if you didn't like that, I doubt you'd like Marmite. I hate it, but one of my cats loves it! (the other cat does not!)
Pork pies are lovely especially warned with hot mushy peas on top.mmmm.
Haggis is great!
No! No! You are wrong! Haggis is fantastic!
I can’t wait to try it 😊
subbed because of your interest
Thank you😊
Marmite needs to be very thin, extremely thin. and it then produces a rich umami flavour. people add way too much marmite, it like people drinking a glass of soy sauce and complaining its salty.
marmite is a very polarising taste, there were adverts to the effect that you either love it or hate it, which brings us to cheese, if you think marmite is strongly flavoured then it just goes to show that some brits will eat some very strange things,1 for instance, blue stilton or danish blue where the veins in the cheese are caused by bacteria to produce an extremely ripe smell and flavour so stinking bishop has quite a level of popularity. I know others are picking holes in the video but it is their perspective so can be forgiven. And that video only touches the edge of the plate as it were. Our little Isle is split into counties, much like the US is split into states. Each county can lay claim to a few different specialities in their recipe books so Happy hunting.
Cheeses and digestive are great together.
Hit me up if you want authentic british recipes dude
🙌🏾👑
oh I remember these two... they randomly disappeared from youtube 3 years ago
Marmite is the older big brother of Vegemite... Vegemite is sweet compared to Marmite, PS: I love it ^_^
Crumpets are not "English Muffins."... English Muffins are just muffins, Crumpets are fried not baked.
Pork pie... its NOT FAT! it's natural gelatine. if you eat non vegan gummies, you're eating gelatine.
Yeah, Americans would rather eat plastic and chemicals in their food than actual food, like animal fat. One is dangerous and not food, and the other is perfectly fine, nutritious, and actual food. Also, the comment 'I don't eat pork,' is stupid. If you dislike it, that's fine, but to say you just don't eat it is rediculous.
They might be Jewish.
Not everyone likes pork as it can be too salty.
Could be religious reasons Muslim or Jewish
I’ve never liked pork
I love pork pie 🥧
it would be good to try and make it yourself, so that you can learn the taste before coming here (tourism is expensive, best not to make many mistakes).
it may not be truly legit with the taste, but it'll be good enough to get an idea at least.
That's true😊
If you want to cook pasties I suggest checking out Master Baker John Kirkwood's channel.. He recently mode some lovely looking spicy chicken pasties.
If you can make Jamaican patties (which I also love) you can make pasties. Just a different pastry.
There is only one filling for pasties and it ain't chicken. Chuck steak, Swede, potato, onion and seasoning. All shoved in a pastry case and cooked slowly. My source? I was taught in a school in the middle of Newquay!
@@doddsy2978 have you considered taking a day out of Cornwall?
You'd be the first in your village to do so in 4 generations.
Thank you so much I will check it out😊
Pork pies are not covered in fat it’s a belly gravy that is set
Crumpets are not like English muffin’s
Marmite we use in cooking to like Bovril
It would be hard to make British dises the same as we do dew to ingredients etc
Mashy peas ate bit like that lol they have vinegar in not sugar
Never tried stinky bishop cheese I live in London
Brie cheddar that sort of cheese on daily
Toad in hole is dosage in yorkie pudding and it’s not breakfast it’s dinner
Cornwall. Is not a city. It's a country.
County
Cornwall is a County.
Not a Country.
County, not Country - yet!
Real mushy peas, are made using marrow fat peas! The restaurants tend to just mash up regular peas, which is nowhere near as good! If your having fish and chips, get it from a proper fish and chip shop! Ask for mushy peas and curry sauce. as an side order with your fish and chips! And ask for cod, as haddock has its skin left on most of the time! Some people like the skin on haddock, so I would stick to cod!
Marmite was sold in Australia until the war cut supply and they just copied it with Vegemite, I mean doesn't even sound original does it
You guys are weird. The fat on meat is where most of the flavour is.
"City" of Cornwall? It's a county.
Cornwall is a county
Yes vegemite & marmite is the same.
