Pot pies are American savory pies.
I was thinking they completely forgot about chicken and turkey pot pie.
Yes, you're right! My only excuse as to why they didn't come to mind is that I didn't grow up eating them.
Chicken Pot Pie!🐔 🥧 Wasn’t it originally featured in the song “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. I’m sure of it!
“Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings”, was originally, “Chicken Pot Pie with its legs and its wings”. True story?! 😆
I know, I know!! Chicken pot pie did not even come to mind when he posed the question. My only explanation is that I didn't grow up with it.
And turkey pot pie.
American here. If any random person ever stopped me on the street and asked me to fill in the blank, "tea and ____"? " I would immediately say "tea and crumpets." Interesting thing is I had never even seen a crumpets til I was nearly 30! Haha. Don't know where from, but we just knew that tea goes with crumpets.
So funny how well we Americans have been trained!
I on the other hand have moved back to my country of birth New Zealand ( 3yr ago ) after spending 12yrs in Coastal Oregon USA. I have heard stuff like this so many times. And yes it is funny at times. This is how I explained things to Americans., We have different words for the same things. That normally confuses most people, then I get a laugh. When I moved to Oregon I asked people , what is a traditional cultural meal in America. Most said, that depends on the State. Some in Oregon said Mexican Food, Some said Hotdogs, some even said Hamburgers. Where if you ask people from New Zealand they would in my age group say Meat, Potatoes and 3 veg, which I grew up with every day. People when I grew up all had small gardens of there own. and the list goes on...
I'm from Devon and love scones (pronounced correctly to rhyme with bones), with clotted cream and strawberry jam. With a cuppa tea of course.
Yesssss! My heart belongs to Devon! A stunning place.
I love this!!
Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Chicken and beef pot pie!! I like shepherds pie, too!
First ever comment on RUclips but had to say that English muffins do in fact exist in Britain and are in fact just Muffins, they are very traditional in Britain and you can find recipes in Mrs Beeton’s book going back to Victorian times however they have sadly fallen out of fashion now, but they do definitely exist in England.
Catherine, I'm honored to have your first comment! Thank you for this insight! I will be going on the hunt for them the next time I'm in the UK.
You two are a kick! Nichole's got you wrapped around her little finger Mark! 🤣😂🤣
hahaha... shhhhh dont tell him that!
I love Liver and onions 🥰😋 think I actually would like steak and kidney pie, since I already eat them. But it's amazing how in different cultures we have different names for the same items
Im right there with you! I might draw the line at (h)umble pie.
they need to be reminded that England was starving with small rations in the late 50's. So you feed your chidlren with the best you can. In survival food, liver and kidneys are gourmet foods. mmmmm generation gap? or prosperity delusions?
So much fun watching this!
so glad you enjoyed!
Love seeing you both. More of this please... :)
Yay! You got it!
I'm planning a visit to London in a couple years, so this is good information to know ahead of time! :D
Your show always makes me smile.
I'm so glad, Mark! Thanks for watching.
"Sing a song of six pence,
A pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie...."
Georgie Porgy puddin' and pie...
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner
Eating his Christmas pie...
I don't know why I started thinking about pie related nursery rhymes.
Love this!
I don't consider Starbucks to sell real scones. But I grew up with home made scones.
If you get an american scone right from the oven, it's good. But once it's cooled, it's also dried a bit and, meh. Another comparison is Scotch Pancakes (as in Scotland not the alcohol). They're made with sugar and leavening, and end up with a texture somewhere between pancakes and crumpets, and are the superior pancake by far.
oh, and also, I will forever be envious that they get Schweppes lemonade and we don't. It was two decades ago,and I don't really remember the taste, but I do remember that it was better than sprite or 7up.
I saw the English muffin was cut with a knife. That's the problem. It should be opened with a fork. That will allow the pores inside the muffin to absorb better.
Chicken pot pie is a savory pie.
Good tip about the fork, Michael!
WHY DID THE PIE GO TO THE DENTIST?
TO GET A FILLING.
👏
Mark? Like you could possibly say no to Nicole?? Yeah buddy, we couldn't either. You two are beyond delightful! But far the most enjoyable videos from True Food tv EVER. You're absolutely dynamic together!! Bravo! His American "accent " is hilarious!! I just kept laughing. Thank you.
I'm so glad you have been enjoying these videos, Dwayne! I have to agree with you -- his American accent is beyond hilarious!
I loved Steak and Kidney pie and pudding when i was seven and still do.
This is hilarious!😂
I’m from the US originally (Texas), but have been living in Australia for the past 12 years.
It took a long time for me to wrap my head around the differences being discussed!
Wife: dear here’s a scone.
Me: thanks for the biscuit!😂😂
I absolutely love love love the Thomas English muffin. Those crispy top and all those lovely holes to hold the generous melted pads of butter. An English muffin was made just to hold all that butter!!!
Scone agnostic ..love it! 👍😄
Watching this in London having tea and crumpets haha. Classic warburtons with butter, one with salami and one with emmental. It’s more a sponge where all the holes run vertically. Just a total delight.
Brilliant! Yes, I love the classic Warburtons!
Great talk. Don't forget the great French Canadian (not French French) tortiere -- another double crusted meat pie. Always interesting to see the differences in cuisine.
My mom fried liver and onions about once a month , as we grew up. Ketchup could not salvage that dish.
haha! I'm so sorry, Dan!
Stake n kidney pie has not been a school meals since the 1960s at least and fun fact stake n kidney pies was originally staking oysters but due to World War 2 oysters removed due to rationing and apple pie is English it comes from a 1300s cook book
Uncoincidentally, other languages use terms similar to biscuit to refer to the object that the brits call a biscuit.
Love the editing with appropriate snatches of music for the samples. Lol.
So glad! :)
You’ll have to talk about puddings/suet dishes they can be sweet or savoury. Where as in the USA it’s like uk angel delight.
There are "tea and scones" in Father Brown featuring quite often, starting with the very first episode of the series, and I assumed that "scones" are пирожные and that I finally know the English word for пирожные. But a few tv show seasons later I figured out that no, scones are their own thing and I'm still not sure what it is... Would love to try some.
The thing is, here in RU we have big, creamy, sugary, beautiful big cakes, and such a cake is called торт. It can feed a whole family at once, everybody gets a slice. But when we are talking about small portioned palm-sized cakes, we call them пирожные. No, they are not synonymous with cupcakes because they can be just as diverse in shape and dough and filling as торты/big cakes. But there is seemingly no direct translation of пирожные in English, it's just big cakes, small cakes, all of 'em are cakes. Insane!
I recently lived abroad for a few months and saw "digestives" category of food in supermarkets. Such an odd word, never came across it before. Didn't buy "digestives" even once because I assumed they are some kind of dietary product for people who have issues with their digestion...
Now it turns out that a scone is not a scone depending on which country you're inquiring about it in, a pie is not a pie... What a torture pastry namings are T_T
Thanks for sharing your insights into Russian baked goods! Yes, I agree with you - digestives sound quite repulsive. They were originally created as a health-food product, but they have become something quite delicious. You must try them next time!
I recall watching the British baking show on PBS called 'Two Fat Ladies' where the show included a segment on squash and pumpkin dishes. Jennifer Paterson [the motorbike driver] was rather 'blunt' at times [that 'dry' British humor] and said to Clarissa Dickson Wright 'You know...in America they make this "sludge" they call Pumpkin pie' and went on to decry the waste of a good pumpkin used in such fashion. I laughed so hard the tears flowed down my cheeks! But yeah...the Brits have a clear distinction between sweet and savory pies. One thing I still don't get though is mashed peas...oh well. Maybe a video on the different 'side dishes' is in order. Enjoyed this video format - thanks for doing and sharing. Cheers...
I adore those women! Thanks for sharing that scene - so funny!
This was great!!!! I kept thinking hand pies. In North Dakota they call them pasty’s. Maybe you could share your recipe for crumpets!
Oh, now this is very interesting! Pasties are originally a Cornish pastry (from southwest England, a region called Cornwall). I had no idea they were "a thing" in North Dakota. Cool!
Try McSweens Vegetarian Haggis, it is really nice.
Thanks for the recommendation, Bruce!
Stargazy in Philly sounds delicious. My family will have to swing by there sometime.
Yes, please do! Outstanding pies!
Savory pie in America would be pot pie. But we certainly don't think of that when somebody says the word pie
Totally agree, Dana. I just couldn't pull them out of my brain when he asked!
Ah Nicole, I make sour dough crumpets as well. They are wonderful. 😊
Yay! Aren't they delicious?
I love the mix of the two cultures in a marriage…
Met oo! It makes for endless conversation, endless observation, endless giggles!
Toco Pie's bomb, never tried any wood 🐓 though sounds enchanting! 🙋
Americans do love their sweets...
Biscuits(US) are quite different to Snones(UK). Biscuits are lighter and more 'buttery'.
exactly!, a "savory" american pie would be analogous to a casserole
You guys are awesome 😎
Thank you! :))
To me the American biscuit is much heavier than the English scone, which is far lighter, and definitely not as stodgy
Yes, well put. I think Mark would absolutely agree as well.
We call them Lunch Ladies in the U.S. 😃🇺🇸👩🏻🍳
Great video!
For me, biscuits and cookies lies on a spectrum. It's arrange in sweetness. Biscuits aren't (too) sweet, then sweet biscuits, then sweet cookies, then the end is sweet chocolate cookie.
Ah, this is interesting! But I rarely hear Brits use the word cookie regardless of the sweetness.
I want to try a crumpet so bad now.
I'll share my crumpet recipe one day!
Chicken pot pies are famous in America
So, as I was watching this, I thought that the one British pie that I’d love to see you demo was the Stargazy pie - because it manages to be simultaneously charming and terrifying - and then you gave Sam’s restaurant a shout out!
Unfortunately I have never been able to eat there, because I’m only ever in Philly on business, and that business is always either weddings of bar/bas mitzvahs, which always take place at dinner time.
Oh, David, Sam's pies are literally some of the best I've ever tasted. Next time, forgo the inevitably awful catering dinner (right?!) and have an early dinner at Stargazy! ;)
Love you. You're like my mom ❤️
I make sourdough blueberry scones
Wow! Impressive, Julie!
i love me some English Cheese Scones.
We have British savory pies. We call them POT PIES.
4:47 haha
I'm going with apple pie and please use Johnathan apples as I prefer as my favorite .
Thanks You fine couple 💑
I've never seen Johnathan apples by me! Will keep my eyes peeled.
Johnathan is Tart eating as fresh eating but favorite cooking and fried apples. They hold firmness for pies giving more texture. .
Lady you come and wife will teach you.
Very nice
Is a pasty considered a pie?
Very good question! I would say they are "hand pies," yes! And they are delicious.
Chicken pot pie!
Clues on Crumpets. If you have buttered the crumpet and there's not a whole lot of butter on the plate you have buttered it on then you haven't got enough butter on it. Personally, I put the jam on first . I introduced my American wife to Crumpets , she loves them. As for the meat pies, We just like having a Pastry Lid on our Pies, A Non Pastry Lid on a meat pie is a waste of Meat & Pastry. Unless it is Shepards Pie then the Potato Top Topped with grated cheese is the bomb. By the way for all of you weirdo's out there, A Shepards Pie is made of Sheep Meat..!!!! How most people use what they have.
America has savory pies, but we call them pot pies :)
Absolutely! My only excuse for why I couldn't pull them out of my brain is that I didn't grow up eating pot pies.
There's no food category Americans won't saturate with sugar.
This video was interesting. And for the record, here in the USA I just can’t eat scones. They are too dry! I love Dunkin’ Donuts yeast donuts, bear claws, turnovers etc.
I agree - I can't do American scones either!
😊
European pies are Tarts, :)
The bell is clicked on all but not getting notifications
Thank you for telling me that! It's been such a frustrating thing with RUclips in recent years. I can't quite understand what's going on.
Chicken Pot Pie!
Yes! Why didn't I think of that?
@@TrueFoodTV Because you had a refined childhood which occurred after the oven heated TV dinner had been put to bed by the microwave oven!
New on your channel
Hello and welcome!
Is not as sconey as I’m used to 😂
Chicken Pot Pie? Way better than Shepherds Pie!!
really attractive. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰🥰👌🏻🌏🌍🌎
I believe she has much more knowledge than he does.
In matters of food, indeed! That's why I'm the host. ;)
Hello beautiful..
Hi, I am from pakistan
Nicole stopdiscarding sourdough, it's pointless. All you need to do is take it out the fridge a night before and feed it. Then next day use most of it, and what is left on the jar will remain - that's all you need. Stick it in the fridge and repeat next time.
But I love making things with my "discard." I NEVER throw it out -- I make crumpets, waffles, pancakes, pizza...
