I could have suggested you a few things from fortnum and mason I go there a lot. The Christmas edible coal is a family tradition. We are a big fan of their coffee and biscuits are really good too. But for me I always have to get the icy mints.
Thanks! I always get a few varieties of biscuits while I'm there, and I picked up some tea as well (I don't drink coffee). I'll keep an eye out for the other things you mentioned next time, thanks! (I also love their fudge, the marzipan is good and, well, most things I've had there are pretty great!)
When I grew up in London, the likes of me never set foot in Fortnum & Mason, far too expensive even then, Maybe you should try Greggs for your sausage rolls, much better value but you won't get a fig and pistachio pastry there.
I've had sausage rolls at Greggs and they weren't my favorite. I did, however, try their Festive Bake (chicken, sage & onion stuffing, cooked sweetcure bacon, sage & cranberry sauce) and thought it was very good! For an extra 2 pounds, I much preferred the sausage roll at F&M. And I had one from the Ginger Pig in Borough Market, too, and that was also quite good. However, those are even more expensive (6 quid each). I do make sausage rolls at home - it's not too much work, and not too expensive, and I love the way they taste, because I make them the way I like them. I probably wouldn't get a sausage roll again at either F&M or Ginger Pig (unless sharing with somebody) but I'm glad I tried them! Thanks for watching, and Happy New Year!
Thank you! Yes, I noticed that one of the other times we were there. I love going to grocery stores when we visit...the little local / city ones to the bigger stores as well. It's so fun seeing how different they are vs. the ones here in the U.S.
I respectfully disagree. They have plenty of things that are not very expensive there. Obviously it will be pricier than a Tesco or Sainsbury's, but they also have some unique things there. Plus, I feel it's a nice experience just to walk through and look around, even if you don't buy anything. And it's not just rich snobs who can do that :)
Fortnams wonderful place. And it is Herry fordshire(Herefordshire).I used to live in Leominster, pronounced Lemster, in Herefordshire.
Yes, thank you and thanks for watching!

If you get the chance, go to Borough Market and get a sausage roll from The Ginger Pig
We did! (as well as food from a few other places there) Hopefully I'll have a video on that soon, too!
I like the mini scotch eggs. I eat them cold, like with party food or picky bits
Are they made with quail's eggs or how do they get them to be mini?
What a great surprise to see a video from you again. Merry Christmas to you and the family. 🎅🏻👍
Thanks Andrew! To you and yours as well!
Should've just eaten then cold, bloody delicious.
Thanks for watching!
you should check out the christmas hampers, some cheap, some very expensive, in the thousands...
Yeah, I did look at them. Amazing in terms of what you can get in them!
I truly love your videos - so glad to see you back again. Welcome back to the UK. Wishing you and your family a truly wonderful Christmas x
Oh, thank you so much for the kind words! I hope to be more consistent again :) Thanks, and to you and yours as well!

Wish I'd gotten a chance to try the special Christmas sausage roll! I love chestnut stuffing. Let's go back right now!!!!
I wish! And next time, you definitely need to check out the downstairs. There was some great stuff down there!
It’s “ Herry like Jerry - ford shire” Herefordshire, it’s not spoken as it looks :)
Really? So it's herry-ferd-shur? Wow, I never would've guessed that!
@@LouieDoesaThing yes 👍 the fordshire part you had perfect but its the Herry part not Here 👍
Happy to see you back is you son ok happy Christmas 🎄 to you all
Thank you! Yeah, he's doing great, thanks! Very much a teenage boy haha. Happy Christmas to you and yours as well!
Welcome to London Louie UK eggs are unwashed and stored on open shelves in ambient conditions
Thank you! Yes, I noticed that one of the other times we were there. I love going to grocery stores when we visit...the little local / city ones to the bigger stores as well. It's so fun seeing how different they are vs. the ones here in the U.S.
That scotch egg looked lush 🤤
It was very tasty, but I do prefer them "just made" so that the outside has a bit of a crispness to it.
You should try Greg's sausage rolls!
Commented before I saw the whole video! 😂 that will teach me!
Should have watched the while video before comment 😂
@@sarahtaylor4516 Haha, no problem! I did try a "Festive Bake" from Greggs and I did enjoy that one!
Great, hope to see more content soon!
You do realise that fortnum and mason is for rich snobs
