    As a Yorkshireman I can hand on heart say I've never heard of bangers and mash in the hole. Bangers and mash... Yep. Toad in the hole... Yep. Never combined 😂.

      As a Yorkshirewoman I can hand on heart say I have heard of bangers and mash served in a yorkshire pudding. Usually it's a large toad in hole with the only space left on the plate for the mash being inside the toad in the hole! 😂

      my kingdom for some real English breakfast sausage. even when I lived in Houston there was only one place to get a full English breakfast, and even then only Sat/Sun. now I live in the country and I’d have to drive an hour minimum just to find a place to buy the correct sausage and black pudding, let alone have someone actually cook it up for me w all the trimmings 😭😭😭

      The bangers and mash are served in a giant Yorkshire pudding, hence the name of the dish.

    In December 2019 me and my partner came to florida, from the UK for our 4th time, but this was the first time we decided to hire a car. The place we decided to visit was Mount Dora, we decided to have food in a little pub called Magical Meat Boutique. It was so beautiful in the night with all the Christmas lights and the tree, so much so when we come back in September this year we have decided to visit Mount Dora again in the day. This video today has brought back some wonderful memories for us. Thank you

    Thank you so much for visiting Mount Dora! My grandparents lived in Mount Dora on the corner of N Donnelly St and 5th Avenue in the 70's. As a child we would make the long drive from NY to FL and stay with them for 2 weeks. Their apartment was above what is now Matamo Designs. The back door of the building led to the alleyway where the Mt Dora Historical Museum is (it used to be called the Jail Museum). At the front of the alley, where Scoops Ice Cream is, was a bakery - and to this day, the smell of a glazed donut brings me right back to Mt Dora. Apparently I took my first steps as a child by Lake Dora. I remember rollerskating in the evenings - we loved all the sidewalks and paths around the shuffleboard courts in Donnelly Park. My grandparents lived there when Honky Tonk Freeway was filmed - did you know they painted the entire main street PINK? www.orlandosentinel.com/news/lake/os-honky-tonk-freeway-mt-dora-20160817-story.html
    They painted everything back to its original color after filming but you could always find bits of pink sticking out here and there after that!
    Thank you again, for all of your videos. The world is a richer place because of you. :)

The history is rich, the restaurant choices are so diverse, and the shops and antique shops are so fun! The Historic hotel they mentioned is beautiful and right on the lake. You can do eco boat tours and air water plane tours. For Christmas they decorate the train and do a Polar Express style train ride. I was so happy to see them there and look forward to them going again!

The store with the carved books on the facade was a book store for many years called Dickens-Reed. Goblin Market is a top restaurant in the area. The houses on stilts over the water is Boathouse Row. We have a beautiful boardwalk that that goes out around the lake by the lighthouse, and we have several Frisbee Golf courses, pickleball courts and a very nice mountain bike trail riding course set back in the woods that is quite popular. Christmas 2020 the city was boasting 2 million lights decorating our downtown. You definitely need to make plans for another visit.

      Was gunna say that. Those fish and chips were pitiful looking. Smallest piece of fish I’ve ever seen. If I got served that in the uk, I’d assume they’d given me a fish cake by mistake... yuck. Huge slab of fish in bubbly beer batter or gtfo, with beef cut chips NOT fries. Also there’s no such thing as ‘bangers and mash in the hole’ it’s toad in the hole or bangers and mash. They have no business being combined. That pub was absolute cringe to an actual Brit. The worst.

      @@TiggiTheWillful Oi Prick. Maybe they offer a small , medium or large fish and chips and that is the small for about 6 quid to you. And yes the bangers & mash is served in a giant Yorkie pudding, so what would you call it?

    The reason Lakeside Inn has great history. It had 2 former President staying at the hotel long time ago. Plus if you go back try Fiesta Grande Mexican Grill. It awesome.
