- Darby and I got to try some new snacks that were hand delivered from London, England! Do you like potatoes? Do you Like Snacks? Watch and see just how different these chips are from the average American potato chip!
Thanks For Watching! Shout Out to Bonnie for the Hand delivered chips and sponsoring this video!
Thanks for ALL the Love and Comments on this video from My American and British friends out there! I appreciate you ALL! Much Love!!!✌️
3 things:
pombears are designed exclusively for children, so they are softer on the pallette, and generally have a much lighter flavour than a 'normal' flavoured packet of crisps would have so as not to be too overpowering for kids.
prawn cocktail flavour has nothing to do with prawns or seafood as such, it's a reference to the 'cocktail sauce' used in a prawn cocktail which is predominantly ketchup/mayo/vinegar/lemon juice and other ingredients based on personal preference/region.
while I don't mean this as an insult, it's very obvious that you have very little concept of what certain 'proper' ingredients taste like, as do most Americans sadly due to the nature of your food industry, some of the things you criticised the pizza hut collab flavour for, you wouldn't be complaining about if you knew what proper pepperoni tasted like, unless you make it yourself properly and know all the ingredients then you won't get a proper flavour profile, and unfortunately what Americans call pepperoni is not actually pepperoni;
another thing to keep in mind regarding this sort of thing is that the British pallette is softer so flavours in general are toned down compared with what you are used to, that's also partly due to the sheer amount of chemicals introduced into your foodstuffs that you have to have overpowering flavours for many food items because without those extreme flavours you would taste all the chemicals in your food, so when something from Britain says 'bursting with flavour' you need to keep in mind that its reference point is the natural flavour of the product and the thing you're eating has been enhanced with more flavour than the baseline, but not to the point where the flavour is overpowering.
while certain flavours will be alien to you as they simply don't exist in the US, some things will be vastly different based on the list of banned substances your version of things has in it compared with things from outside of the US, in future it might be worth trying similar products side by side so you can see that difference first hand.
Thanks for the Clarification! We know Our flavor....or Flavour just fine here in the South! 👍....agreed on the pumped up chemicals over here though. We didn't mean anything or any part of the video to be disrespectful to any of the products...just to give an honest, taste test opinion from someone across the pond. I appreciate you watching the video and all the explanations, if you need any good recipes, watch more of my videos, I cook all the time. If you'd like to see me try to make some proper English cuisine shoot some suggestions our way and we'll try to make it happen. Again, thanks for watching, Much Love! 👍💯✌️
Also I really like the Side by Side Suggestion! ✌️
@@GavinLambTVuk burgers vs American
100%
@@GavinLambTV Also if you buy things like spicy Niknaks, if you're confused by it not being spicy, it's named that for the Indian spices in there because it's tangy, not spicy as in chilli hot
Why do soooooo many Americans seem to think that England and the UK are the same thing?? The UK consists of Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
We're mis-imformed and just absolutely silly! Thanks for the insight and Watching the video despite our ignorance 😉✌️
@@GavinLambTVEngland = England, Britain = England and Wales, Great Britain = England + Wales + Scotland, UK = Great Britain + Northern Ireland.
Walkers Max crisps are specifically designed for eating as bar snacks with beer. The flavour profile intensifies. You should also try and get your hands on the other Walkers Sensations Roast Chicken & Thyme... They are delicious.
Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
Walkers was brought by the Pepsi-cola company in the 1980's and re-branded it "Lays" except in the UK hence the similarities.
There is no excuse for them to deny you the good sh!t we get from them.
Sorry guys.
Awesome, thanks for the info!!!✌️
I've lived in the UK 65yrs. never seen pom bears.
Probably some local company using a play on words, pom Probably taken from the French Pomme (Potatoe), not from the Australian insult for British Migrants (Pome = prisoner of mother england), so therefore just means 'potatoe bears', just a bit of clever marketing to make them sound better than they really are.
they are in supermarkets and the pound shop
@selina5598 but why?
Look forward to trying more sweets, chocolates and whatnots in the future.
Will you be able to brave Marmite and Colemans' Mustard?
We'll have to give it a try!
@GavinLambTV please follow all the cautionary tales about Marmite it is actually incredibly beneficial to the human body but unfortunately a hell of a lot of people think it tastes like shit 😇
@@misolgit69ye salty shit!
@@GavinLambTV if you do try marmite then it has to be spread very,very thin or it will taste vile.
Thanks for the Tip! 👍
They are not British Potatoe Chips, they are Crisps otherwise known in the USA as potato chips, in Britain Chips are totally different to American misconceptions they are thick fingers of potatoe deep fat fried and are yummy on a chip butty.
Besides the flavourings are added to any fried crisp whilst still hot as a fine powder of flavourings, which then sticks to the surface of the crisp, so not as sensational as one would think.
Pom Bears are not British. they are just sold in the UK. They are Dutch/German.
Fun video. In the Walker's Max, find the Paprika flavour, much more flavour for you guys to enjoy.
You should look into getting some wireless microphones, it'd make the video quality way greater
Prawn cocktail is meant to be the prawn cocktail sauce instead of the prawn taste, it's got a strong vinegary taste. Every time I see Americans try anything prawn cocktail flavoured crisps ( Walkers, Skips and Wotsits brands), 9/10 they don't like it haha. It think its just a British palate kinda thing.
Walkers makes some very strange flavours but if it says it tastes like something... it definitely tastes like it! They had a chilli and chocolate flavour before!
Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations are very popular in the UK, I think all Sensations variations are quite popular.
Thank you for the feedback and Watching the video, I'll look into that! 👍
gotta go for McCoys steak flavour if you want a good ridge cut crisp
Am from England and the ones i love is similar to Sensations but there call Ketal crips/chips flaver Sweet chill and souer cream there mine fravret
picture behind you is crooked...i know i have problems..but felt compelled to say something
I have a 4 year old that loves to mess with....pretty much everything...I noticed during editing, which was....too late 🤣
to be fair Dr Pepper is vanilla. its an ingredient in the original. btw they are crisps haha
Wow some really passive aggressive comments, come on they're just trying some walkers crisps and giving their views. No big deal that we spell things slightly different to them is it or that we describe things differently.
You need to try the prawn cocktail in some bread and butter crisp sandwich lovely
Cheese and onion walkers should be the staple crisp sandwich.
prawn cocktail with cheese, very underrated combo
American or English spelling....I don't know if you've ever seen the Gerry Anderson TV series Space 1999, but because they were under orders to make it appeal to American audiences all the signage in the show was in American english ie Center instead of Centre
Very interesting, thanks for the info! 👍
@@CahillJoshboo hoo
It's crisps not chips, what we call chips is your French fries
Unless it's tortilla chips, lentil chips, etc.
@davem12dim17 here it may be called chips but still under the umbrella of crisps
@@gemmabarnes thing is, we Brits have the brains to know tortilla chips do not go with fish, and corn snacks are just that, etc, so we can afford to use multiple different words for the same thing without confusion :)
I have chips, crisps, and snacks in my cupboard. To me, if it's sliced potato it's a crisp, if it's corn or lentil, it's a chip, and if it's puffed, or shaped, it's a snack (unless its walkers french friesl. But so many different words for the same thing would confuse Americans 🤣
(It's like the American think we call cookies, biscuits and French fries chips. Nope, we call cookies cookies, biscuits biscuits, chips chips, and French fries, french fries. We have all four)
@davem12dim17 that is so true we know what goes with what, and love to confuse the Americans
@@davem12dim17Fish tacos are delicious.
Prawns are bigger than shrimps🎩
I like prawn cocktail. Call me weird but I think its like a slightly sweet salt and vinegar. As far as I know shrimps are smaller prawns.
Edit: You kind of had some of the worst flavours of Walkers Max. There paprika which is really good and they do a Walkers Max Strong range. Jalapeño and cheese, there's also Spicy chicken thighs (forget exact wording) which are great as well. I agree the pepperoni is kind of mid.
How can you like ketchup, but not like ketchup flavoured things? That's just like saying I love apples but I don't like coconut, especially with a hint of bubble and squeak, seasoned with coriander and liquid cheese!!!!❤
No one likes ketchup. It is bland. Barbecue flavored chips are common because people actually like that. Hot sauce flavor is popular too.
Good video, have a like and subscribe
Prawns are not freshwater there is a difference between a prawn and a shrimp they both come from the ocean one be small one be big look similar but totally different now we have cleared that little misunderstanding up let's try the next one prawn cocktail is not the actual prawn it is the sauce that goes with it
Prawns can be found in Salt and Freshwater....most varieties found in Fresh. 👍💯🍤
Uk chips
Lays and walkers are the same company, but a different name, in most countries they’re called lays but here in the UK they’re called walkers
Thanks for the information 👍
@@GavinLambTV Sadly his "information" is incorrect. They are two separate companies. Lays being American, Walkers being English. Founded separately in different years (Walkers in 1948, Lays in 1961). However, they have both subsequently been acquired by PepsiCo, hence they now have similar branding.
Walkers are not the best crisps and are not as popular as the media advertisers want you to believe plus I have never even heard of pombears.
That's right we spell things cowectley❤
🤣
@@GavinLambTVHere's a couple more for ya
Colour
Theatre
Youre welcome
Ridged not rigid
There's NO fish in Prawn Cocktail, it's simply the cocktail sauce flavoring.
And PLEASE don't call these crisps/chips 'English'... they're BRITISH.
I might be English by birth ( southern England) but I'm fiercely BRITISH.
🤣.....OK gotcha 👌
@@zaphodbeeblebrox6627 what! You mean the wars between the English versus Welsh, and English versus Scots have ended, oh I am so disappointed.
Life's gonna be so boring from now on.
Please someone send them some BBQ Hula Hoops! best crisps ever imho! enjoyed the vid!
hula hoops are not crisps!
crisps not chips. our foods do not go bad for weeks and weeks after the best before date.
You can spell it "Flavor", because after all, when push comes to shove!"U" don't matter!!! 💞💞
Thick as shit.....I love tomato sauce but i dont like tomato sauce flavoured snacks ffs .. Its crisps btw
