Agree with others who mention 'cooking' rather than reviewing mass produced frozen/microwavable versions of classics - dont think any one should be tasting the products that were shown as representative of classic dishes. As regards a yorkshire pudding, made from batter. not 'breading' is an ,integral part of a home cooked sunday roast dinner, not meant to be eaten or tasted on its own! And yes, as per the comments, the trifle is meant be homemade with sherry which soaks the sponge cake (its not bread) with a homemade custard and yes whipped cream not 'quirty' cream. The mass produced and frozen version is not something that should be subject to a tasting and is quite misleading! Did you guys learn anything in your time in the uk? The entertainment in your channel is 'how wrong can this really be?' A suggestion is for you to review your own classics, say for example a frozen pumpkin pie from walmart or what about a frozen microwaveable mac n cheese?
Toad in the hole is eaten with onion gravy guys, Shepherds pie is lamb, hence Shepherd ! Yorkie puds is served with Sunday roast soaks up your gravy or eaten as starter with jam, Sticky toffee pud needs to eaten with custard or double cream !, English trifle has cake soaked in sherry in the jelly, then custard and then cream, but I make a vodka jelly, soak cake in amaretto, then a brandy custard finished with a Kirsch cream with whisky cherries :-)
The traditional version of trifle is a Sherry trifle and the sponge was soaked in sherry, before being put in the bottom of the bowl to give the trifle the sherry flavour and to avoid watering down the jelly (jello) enabling it to set properly.
Future tip: When you get a pot of dessert like that sticky toffee pudding, you're supposed to tap the pot upside down on a plate so that the sponge falls out and the sauce drips all over it.
Never call Yorkshire pudding breading in front of an English person. Breading is literally covering something with breadcrumbs, and Yorkshire pudding which there is a version called a dutch baby in the U.S which is a sweet version is made from a pancake batter (plain flour, milk and eggs).
The toad in the hole was undercooked it should be brown and puffed up. It is basically a Yorkshire pudding with sausages. It is made from a pancake batter.
You weren't far off with the explanation of how toad in the hole got its name, it was more along the lines of the sausages and the golden brown Yorkshire pudding looked like toads in mud.
"Bangers" come from the fact that they can "pop" when cooking due to the water content. If it's got beef in it it's not Shepherd's pie. The hint it in the name. Shepherds tend sheep, so a Shepherd's pie has lamb in it. If it's beef it's cottage pie. There's also no reason not to eat beef, I saw you already eat a sausage. Yorkshire pudding is eaten with a roast beef and is NOT bread. We love it in New Zealand too.
Sorry, you can't make a judgement about 'classic dishes', as you call them, by buying and warming up cheap microwave meals. And pub versions of them are not much better, unless you are in a gastro pub. Have you ever had real homecooked British food? Oh, and Yorkshire puddings are a side to a roast dinner, they're not meant to be eaten on their own. What would you think if I went to Walmart in the states, bought some cheap, crap microwave meals and made a judgement about those dishes based on those?
Shepherd's pie should be made with lamb or mutton, cottage pie is with beef. And toad in the hole is effectively Yorkshire pudding batter with sausages in it. The word 'pudding' originally (13th century) meant something boiled in a casing - haggis is an example, but any type of sausage would do. By the 1500s it also meant anything wrapped in a cloth and boiled - Christmas pudding, steak and kidney pudding, etc. The use of 'pudding' as a dessert dates from the end of the 1800s. 'Yorkshire pudding' is an outlier - it might be a joke ('"this is what they do in Yorkshire rather than making it properly").
Why not use a knife instead of pulling food apart with your fingers, that's very uncouth. Yorkshire pudding is made from batter, not bread or pastry. Shepherds pie is made from lamb, never beef.
That is NOT Shepherds pie. The clue is in the name. Shepherds do not look after cows, they look after Sheep. Shepherds pie is made with lamb, what you have there is a Cottage pie ( made with Moo cow).
Guys if you eat the home made dishes youl realise the microwave dishes arent actually any good and things like yorkshire pudding is mostly eaten on a Sunday roast
Not actually British classics if you're just using ready meals . All of these are so simple to cook properly & are, in real life, so cheap to make it's almost a travesty to eat them this way....don't care whether you rate them high or low ! If that so-called cottage pie was 'filled' with beef, as it should be then it's a nasty one , not helped by being anaemic as it's, obviously been heated in a microwave ...ugh ! Shepherd's Pie (lamb) & Cottage pie should have meat with no less than 15% fat content & started off in a frying pan with chopped onion , chopped carrots , mushrooms and seasoning , fry till the veg soften and meat starts to brown then place in a casserole/pie dish & cover with mash , the potatoes having been boiled separately, seasoned, mashed & beaten with delicious butter . It all then goes in the oven on 180c (or eviquivalent for 40 minutes . Comes out smelling delicious with a toasty crust on the top, serve with broccoli and peas or mange tout (freshly boiled) so easy...and cheap ! ps both of my grandads were Yorkshire men and would cringe at what you ate , passing itself off as Yorkshire pudding whether cooked with sausages or , Sunday dinner (or, as they also ate them, with nana's home made raspberry or strawberry jam ...none difficult to cook 😂
Well, you didn't get the worst quality. There are better ones out there, and of course home made might be better, but then maybe not? That looked like the worst Shepherds pie I've seen, generally higher meat to potato ratio, I would also expect the potato (pie lid) to have been charred (like under a grill (broiler), FYI the meat is lamb not beef. (similar beef and mash pie would be cottage pie). The sausage and mash, premade mash in these are notoriously poor, also needed more gravy also would have expected gravy over both the sausage and mash. Toad in the hole needs gravy, and probably mash. Premade Yorkshire puddings are usually pretty poor, think premade pancakes. Sticky toffee pudding, would've been better turned out onto a plate, I would put cream or ice cream on it (but that's only my opinion). I don't think you did anything wrong to the scotch eggs, if you didn't like them, you probably don't like scotch eggs.
Thank you for liking and subscribing! What should we review next? 🇬🇧🥘

Sorry guys - shepherd's pie is made from lamb - hence shepherd, it's cottage pie that is made from beef

Not traditional but sounds great.

Bangers came from the fact they used to make popping sounds when they were cooking, due to the water in them.
Shepherds pie should never have beef in it. It is lamb mince. Cottage pie is the beef version. Shepherdess pie is a vegetarian version.
Shepherds pie should be lamb or mutton, beef is usually called cottage pie
Never call Yorkshire pudding breading in front of an English person. Breading is literally covering something with breadcrumbs, and Yorkshire pudding which there is a version called a dutch baby in the U.S which is a sweet version is made from a pancake batter (plain flour, milk and eggs).
another great videos guys keep them coming always love seeing notications when you upload
Would love to see a series of follow up videos of you cooking some of these meals from scratch, shepherds/cottage pie is dead easy to make 🙂
The toad in the hole was undercooked it should be brown and puffed up. It is basically a Yorkshire pudding with sausages. It is made from a pancake batter.
These two haven’t got a clue. Bangers and mash without gravy. Lol.
You weren't far off with the explanation of how toad in the hole got its name, it was more along the lines of the sausages and the golden brown Yorkshire pudding looked like toads in mud.
Jordan sneaking the ripple away 😂😂😂🤣

Yorkshire puddings can be eaten as a dessert with jam on them.
Or even better, golden syrup

Cottage pie is Beef ,shepherd pie is Lamb .
Enjoyed the video, but those did not look like fine examples of any of those dishes.
Have you not had a roast dinner with Yorkshire Pudding. That's what that is .?
Do your research on British food,don't buy cheap knock offs,also use a knife when eating
My sister makes the best Yorkshires in the world,I’m off to hers for a roast on Sunday

Toad in the hole is egg batter based, like pancakes massacres or the US popover
Not sure why waffles autocorrect to massacres - but dark!
@@paulsnorman Dark indeed, was wondering where that came from.

Guys if you eat the home made dishes youl realise the microwave dishes arent actually any good and things like yorkshire pudding is mostly eaten on a Sunday roast
Yorkshire pudding is NOT bread!!!
I don’t like most of this food either, even home cooked versions, and I’m English!
Yeah but.....They're all shop bought.
Very true, it would be fun to try again but make all the dishes at home
