I actually love watching these videos, I just take all this food for granted because I have them regularly but watching people praise how good the food is actually makes me proud to be Irish 🤣🤣
Caraway seeds are very common in Northern and Eastern Europe. You’ll find them in rye bread and on crisps as well as in a lot of German savoury dishes.
So, I had no idea you called them 'flapjacks'. In US an oat cake (crispy or chewy) is generally a 'granola bar' and a flapjack is another word for a pancake.
This is great seeing treats from Ireland. My son and his wife just moved to Edinburgh about a month ago and are really enjoying the food in the UK. Can’t wait to come visit 😊
I can so easily eat a whole packet of Mikados in one sitting, the chocolate covered ones are unreal as well! And Barry's tea all the way as it's from my county Cork, the berry one is one of my fave fruit teas! Very excited for part 3 🤗
Caraway seed is commonly used in rye bread and it is popular in the Scandinavian countries as welll. Germany makes a sauerkraut with them in for flavor.
The vanilla pecan cup looked delicious. I think I could eat more than one of those but I suppose they are really rich in flavor. I cook with Kelly Gold butter but it is expensive since it is imported which blows my mind that something comes all the way from Ireland to North Carolina and has to be refrigerated. Good video and good box.
Hi guys great video again 🙂 you can buy the Kimberleys and the mint and golden crisp here in Tesco. Expensive for v little bars but so worth it. We used to get them as part of our main range here many years ago but they were sadly discontinued. When Cadburys here did a mint version here at Xmas it was really rubbish and nothung like the original one sadly. The Irish one is amazing. Wish we could get it more easily....and bigger! Haha
Hi Kate and Alex missed you guys recently I haven't been well and I've missed A couple of your videos 😩 but Im back and will be watching them tomorrow hehe as I'm feel way better then I did last time 😊 so excited to watch this one yay! Love you Kate as Alex 💞💞
Honestly his accent was good!!! It actually sounds quite similar to an irish accent although to me it sounds like two different places in Ireland put together!!!! Also love your jumper kate!💛💛💛
Hi Kate and Alex, loved this and very excited for the chocolate week! Please know that you can get the equivalent of mikados here - they’re made by Bolands and called jam mallows. Yummy and yummier if dunked! 😊 🥰
Watching again from Armagh in Ireland!! 🇮🇪 Barry’s tea all the way and I can’t start my day without a good cup of strong tae and have Atleast 4/5 cups throughout the day and have to have one before bed.. So I guess it is true us Irish love our tea or as most people call it a cup of “Tae”!! 😍😍
If you can get your hands on a packet of Irish breads esp Potato bread, Soda bread and wheaten bread don’t pass on them.. They’re a life changer esp fried or toasted with lots of Irish butter!! 😍😍
What an amazing part 2!! I can’t wait for part 3! We only use kerrygold in our house! Just the best! I got so sad when you guys said it reminded you of apples and cotlets 🥺. But happy that something else tastes as yummy as they did! Oh gosh, Laura did such an amazing job with her box! Hope you guys are having a great week and cheers to your weekend! See you next week! ❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘
Yaay glad you enjoyed it Somer 🥰 Kerry gold is so good isn’t it! I know 😢 can’t believe they’re gone. Hopefully someone brings them back in years to come. What an amazing day that will be! Hope you’re having a great week too Somer. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Say hello to everyone for us ♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😘
@@ThisWithThem caraway seeds are used in some rye breads and also some Irish Soda Bread which may be why they've duplicated that taste in those biscuits.
I've told this dad joke before on your channel... What do you call someone who likes to dunk their biscuit or rusk in tea? Duncan! Also, Kate's top is legendary.
Just an FYI , caraway seeds are great in bagels and also added to carrot cake 🎂. Brings it to another level. Also adding lemon to anything with caraway seeds ( muffins etc ) is a game changer 😋
Irish teas use a different blend of leaves than British brands. There was a during WW2, there was a small trade war between the UK and Ireland, so the Irish government ended up setting up a company to act as a middleman for tea importation by sourcing it from places from beyond British control, namely East Africa. This is why Irish teas have a very different flavour profile than British teas, which as mostly sourced from South Asia. Not Lyons anymore though: that's been basically rebranded PG Tips for a while now, and it's been grim ever since.
I think firms like Bulmers, Cadburys and Jacobs in the bad old days of British occupation were the same company in both Britain and Ireland, but the companies went the separate ways like Bulmers/Magners, Jacobs/Bolands plus Cadburys having certain products unique to each country.
Bulmers in Ireland isn't the same company as Bulmers in the UK. The founder of Irish Bulmers worked for UK Bulmers and got the rights to use the name. Irish Cadburys started as the Irish branch of the UK company, but largely acted independently, and sourced everything except for the cocoa (and originally sugar) locally. People actually specifically try to get their hands on Irish Cadburys products because they've a better reputation. Jacobs is an Irish company originally. The UK Jacobs started as a subsidiary of the Irish company. Bulmers was founded in Ireland after independence in 1935. Jacobs was founded in Waterford in 1885.
Caraway seeds are used in deli-style rye bread in the U.S. I looked up rye bread recipes on UK web sites, and only a few of them call for caraway seeds. I guess it's more of an American thing.
Hi Kate and Alex, Great box 2 from Ireland. I love hot tea with cookies/biscuits. Meanwhile, it's getting hot here in Maryland. How is your weather? Have a great week.
Hey Kirsten! Hope you’re well! Tea with cookies and biscuits are THE BEST. Oh cool! ☀️ we have had the worst May in a LONG time!! Practically rained every day but it’s finally brightening up now yaaay! Have a wonderful weekend
I’m here 1st lol 😂. I’ve been absent awhile and so sorry 😐. Im glad I was able to watch now. I missed you guys. Hi 👋 Alex and Kate. Hope your all well. Looking forward to watching this. 💕. Lol @ Alex’s Irish ☘️ accent. Loved it.
In Ireland we have 3 different accents for the irish language and we do have several different accents like in the uk. You have southern cork kerry midlands dublin and northern and western. Funny i think you did a mix of two accents maybe a Midlands dublin ? Jacobs crackers were massive and they did biscuits as well. Also lyons and Barry js a lsst name in Ireland. Tetley is here but i I think ots weak. Barrys and lyons are so much prefered. You can get 120 packs. Cadbury is not produces here anymore and alot felt the chocolate we get now tastes different. In the 90s you could get blackcurrant in your Guinness.
So not a bad attempt then if it sounded like a mix of two 👌🏻😀 Ahh I see. Thank you for explaining. We really enjoyed the Barry’s tea! I feel like if I was to have a Guinness I would need the black current 😆 - Kate
But there's a good reason for that: there's a UK Jacobs that started as a subsidiary of the Irish Jacobs, but it was spun off as its own company. They have the rights to the Jacobs trademark in the UK, hence the need to use Boland's.
I want to watch your videos so badly, but right now my doctor has me on a diet where I can only have white meat, fruit and vegetables. I think I may have to take a break as I am so jealous of your trying right now. 😉♥️☺️
omg I love Duncan things in tea too I was in a cruise and I wanted to dunk in my tea and I thought to my self people would think I was weierd but I saw a British lady doing it and then I did it
🏰 I am so craving some of those biscuits ( cookies) ! The Jacob’s wafer cookies look similar to ones I have had and loved. The Social Circles sound amazing. Kerrygold butter is now available in the U.S.A. I feel like I will stick to our own butter brands instead of something that has to take such a long trip. Blessings and appreciation from California. 🍪☕️
I actually love watching these videos, I just take all this food for granted because I have them regularly but watching people praise how good the food is actually makes me proud to be Irish 🤣🤣
That Kerrygold shortbread looks so good! I'm American and we get their butter but I had no idea they made cookies! All of this looks so good!
That’s one of the things I loved when I visited Ireland, how sustainable they are, you can get anything there locally and fresh!
So cool! Go Ireland 🇮🇪
Godd video

Yes so gudd
Barrys tea is the best. I drink about 6-7 cups of it a day.

He sounded good.. He had a bit of both a north of Ireland and south of Ireland twang!! 🙈😂
@@daniellegordon8810 exactly
Yes you’re correct Alex, in Australia we have Iced Vo-vo’s that look just like Mikados 😊
Those social circles looked so good. Tea and cookies one of my favorite snacks! ❤️
Tea & biscuits remind me of my days off & relaxing time 😌
Sounds amazing 😍
Yay! A good day at work and a new video from you! 👍🏻😀
I lived in Ireland when I was little, it’s one of my favourite places. Ive lived in Scotland for 18 years but Ireland still feels like home
We will have to visit one day! Sounds wonderful there 😍😍
Love Mikados. Can get them on Amazon too. Always had them for my birthday parties as a kid. The Australian ones you're thinking of is Vo Vo's.
Ah no way!!! Love that. Oh yes that’s them. Thank you Karen 😀😀

I think firms like Bulmers, Cadburys and Jacobs in the bad old days of British occupation were the same company in both Britain and Ireland, but the companies went the separate ways like Bulmers/Magners, Jacobs/Bolands plus Cadburys having certain products unique to each country.
Bulmers is branded Magners when exported .. made in Clonmel, Co. TIPPERARY
Bulmers in Ireland isn't the same company as Bulmers in the UK. The founder of Irish Bulmers worked for UK Bulmers and got the rights to use the name.

baby Guinness actually is a very popular shot over here, it’s the shot you go to that doesn’t make you feel sick

Jacob 's should bring the cakes and biscuits to the uk.people will buy them for sure
Definitely!!! We love a biscuit here 😂

Hey Lynda 😀 nice to see you back! Hope you are doing well and enjoy watching 💞💞

Hi Kate and Alex
I love tea
Hey Helena!! We love tea too 🫖 so delicious 😋
I bet you had fun, Kate. I'm part Irish myself. What do you recommend when making biscuits with jelly?
Amazing!!!
I would recommend using raspberry jelly! 😋
Irish tea in a Canadian cup😂😆
One day would you please go to Pateley Bridge in Yorkshire to review their candies? It’s the oldest sweet shop in the world.
Caraway are actually fruits not seeds. They are very similar in flavour to fennel, which is probably why Alex picked up a fennel flavour
Oh no way!! Did not know that! Thank you 😀😀
I get Barry’s Tea at my local supermarket here in New Jersey
Love that! Very delicious isn’t it!
Amazing 👍
Thank you Imran!
Barrys tea for me
How is the weather there
You Should Try A Catch Bar
There might be one in part 3 of this Irish series 😉
Even Joe Rogan searches out Kerrygold butter. Also, the Cadbury snack sandwich bar is an elite tier chocolate bar.
I want to watch your videos so badly, but right now my doctor has me on a diet where I can only have white meat, fruit and vegetables. I think I may have to take a break as I am so jealous of your trying right now. 😉♥️☺️
Hope everything goes well with your diet Melissa♥️♥️
omg I love Duncan things in tea too I was in a cruise and I wanted to dunk in my tea and I thought to my self people would think I was weierd but I saw a British lady doing it and then I did it
Hahaha you go for it!!
When Brits say "pop the kettle on" they mean "turn the kettle on". Americans really do pop the kettle on cuz we don't have electric kettles. 😉
Hahaha 😂
It wasn't ketchup!! It was relish!! Bahahahahaaa!!
Have they ever said how old they are? Does anyone know? I’m curious!
Hi guys
A with the K mug 💙

When will you and Alex start the WTF series? xx

caraway can be found in rye bread, the seeds are caraway
Ahh thank you Rachel!! That makes sense
@@ThisWithThem you're welcome and I love your videos

Caraway seeds are in seeded rye bread so maybe you have had a good Jewish Rye Bread
Oh!! I didn’t know that. That must be where I have tasted that flavour before thank you Deana!
In West Sussex there's a Kate's cakes
NO WAY 😀😀🎉🎉 how cool
