You guys should come to Scotland and to the Tunnocks factory where the caramel wafers are made. They do a huge range of different chocolate treats. Theyve been making the caramel wafer since 1952.
When diluting Ribena, or any other squash, it will have the ratio on the bottle, but is usually 1 part squash to 4 parts water. If it is a concentrated version, it is usually 6-8 water to 1 squash.
The intro is on point :D Maoam are actually from Germany (Haribo). For me the most British snacks have been Curly Wurly (and everything else from Cadbury) and Winegums. And salt & vinegar crisps in general. Those where the things we bought in masses and brought them back home when visiting the UK.
Hi guys, as a 55year old Brit, you brought back a lot of memories, however here's an update for wine gums for you, they did used to taste of different types of wine but the manufacturers changed the flavours to fruit awhile ago I think ten years or so now, hope this helps.
Cordial is the posher stuff.I always associate it with lime for some reason.We call anything like that diluting juice in Scotland.Like Ribena, Robinsons etc. Caramel wafers are made not far from me,like,about 10 minutes away.I suggest a Tunnocks teacake,amazing!
Why do they always pick the most clueless Brits to advise on snacks. How can any Brit not know that there are wine names on wine gums. These people are not British.
If you like the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer, you'll loooove their Caramel Log! It's the same basic caramel wafer, but covered in chocolate & toasted coconut!!! 😲😲😲
I wish someone would check out Lee's Macaroon Bars, from Scotland! They're soooo delicious, sooooo sweet, & soooo moreish! 😋 Other Scottish 'tasties' are, Scotch Pies, Forfar Bridies, & Butteries (also called 'rowies') All these treats made me the man I am today! A big fat bloke!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ok so apparently I’m old.... Viennetta was totally a thing at least in Southern USA in the 90s. My Granny always had one in the freezer....I believe they were made by Breyer’s.
Ahh Vienetta......special treat for after Sunday lunch in the 1980s....... simpler times 😋 (BTW Belvoir, as in the cordial, is made and named after the Vale of Belvoir in Leicestershire and is pronounced ‘Beaver’.... local people pick sacks of wild elderflowers in spring, which they sell by the bagful to the company to make the cordial)
Look around for old sweetshop, we had them when i was a kid i.e tuck shop. And we bought things like half pence chews fruit salad, gobstoppers, acid drops, space dust, much bigger version of curly wurly.
Viennetta is a total nostalgic ice cream. I remember it was sort of seen as a posh dessert back in the early 90s! Curly Wurly is just a Chomp with holes! Both are the best though!
As we have just learnt, Maynards Wine Gums do not have any alcohol in them. ... Therefore he named them wine gums and labeled them with wine names. Some candy historians maintain that wine gums were indeed made with wine at one point, though certainly not any more.
I loveTwiglets. I got used to them when I worked with Brits in the Middle East. Since I came back to USA, I have searched for them every time I have returned to England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales. Are they still available? If so, from where? Great vid. Love all of y'all.
Glenn Camp they are but maybe only at Christmas when I come to think of it. Don’t think I’ve seen them at any other time if year, I don’t like them though they taste of burnt to me
I recently fell for the squash when visiting the UK, drank half a glass of it and thought ewww then was told it was like cordial lol and MIL introduced me to Vienetta ice cream ( she is from England originally )
Other things to try in the UK: My personal faves: McCoy's crisps, Jammie Dodgers, McVitie's dark chocolate digestives, custard creams, fox's viennese, Others: Pom Bears, Skips ( or other prawn cocktail crisps), Twiglets, Wotsits, Hula hoops, Walker's Crisps, Hobnobs, Crunchie chocoalte bar, Yorkie chocolate bar, Rolos, Aero chocolate, Flake, Jaffa cakes, Smarties, Cadbury's fingers, malteasers
Pickled food in the UK refers to the way they are prepared, typically eggs, onions and gherkins are put in a large airtight jar and a hot vinegar based "pickling" solution is poured over them. The jar is then sealed and as the pickling solution cools it permeates the ingredients giving them that sharp distinctive taste. Dill pickles used in the US are subjected to this exact process so are true pickles. I worked in McDonald's as a kid and used to open 10kg buckets of pickles....the smell is overpowering! 😄
Funny to see how different the two countries are, Australia seems to be a mix of both countries, we definitely use the word moorish 😊I love curly wurlys and vienetta.
that vienetta was my favorite when i was a kid....it was considered luxurious at that time, unfortunately it didn't exist anymore here in Indonesia. we even make petition to walls to make it again...with our economic condition better now, we want to taste that childhood ice cream again,
Please guys put the curlywherly in the fridge there so much better cold the caramel becomes more like toffee and there are better if you suck the chocolate off
Back in the 70s80s in the US we had the Marathon bar which is just like a Curly Whirly. When we lived in England my favorite chip were the Roast Beef and mustard. I miss them.
I like in the UK and in our house we call Squash/Cordial dilute. Since you need to dilute it in water. I always thought it was fairly common to call it that but it may just be me 🙂
Historically a cordial was always an alcoholic fruit based drink that was at least 15% ABV, offered to guests as an aperitif, the source of "we received a cordial welcome" a warm and friendly welcome.
A little background on the humble but delicious Wine Gum. Charles Maynard’s son, Charles Gordon, heir to their confectionary firm, suggested they diversify into making wine gums. Charles senior, who was a strict teetotal Methodist ( as a Victorian he was definitely of the fire and brimstone kind of Methodist ), thought this was an outrageous idea but was eventually persuaded by Charles junior that no alcohol would be used in making them. Thus, in 1909, Maynards Wine Gums were introduced. As we Know, Wine Gums do not have any alcohol in them. So why are they called wine gums? There are two stories, about the origin of the name. The first one says that after hearing a very fiery sermon on the virtues of abstaining from alcohol, Maynard junior decided to market the sweets as an aid to alcohol moderation ( or just to piss his Dad Off!! ). Therefore, he named them wine gums and labeled them with wine names. The second story maintains that Maynard junior wanted to market the sweets as so delicious, that they should be appreciated like a fine wine. Therefore he named them wine gums and labeled them with wine names.
"In 1880, Charles Riley Maynard and his brother, Tom, started making sweets in their kitchen in the Stamford Hill section of North London and Charles’ wife, Sarah Ann sold them in their sweets shop next door. In 1896, the Maynards Sweets Company was born. Charles Maynard’s son, Charles Gordon, heir to their confectionary firm, suggested they diversify into making wine gums. Charles senior, who was a strict teetotal Methodist, thought this was an outrageous idea but was eventually persuaded by Charles junior that no alcohol would be used in making them. Thus, in 1909, Maynards Wine Gums were introduced." From their web page, continued the names were means to help those who drank to see another path, OR the name would make you think of prime drink you were passing in favor of the gums (sort of a 1900 version of flavored no-nicotine vaping)
Andrew Furey no it’s not. They are from the Victorian era when you purchased them from a Pharmacy as a lozenges that contained the real alcohol in them.
@@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming Nope you have it wrong - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_gum They didn't come about until 1909 and have never contained wine or alcohol.
As a british person I love pork cocktail sausages from morrisons lol u can get like 20 for like a quid(1 pound) and it good for when I'm hungry and just want something quick to eat and the monster munch are like my fav crisps and I am obsessed with moams,and the ribena squish is common along with blackcurrant squash that I always had when I was younger with the other stuff I dont think I have tried ik I dislike wine gums and the cheddar bites (my opinion dont hate pls).also I dont like Curley wirly as much as I did when I was younger becuase of the cheweness it hurts my teeth.btw I also judge on the colour and I like my squish weak agian my opinion other people have different ways and liking of how strong it is pls dont come at me.
These are not typical British snacks, Walkers crisps or pringles , mini cheddars, pork pies, cheese strings, different chocolate like flake or mars bar

Yes, it was in their video where they had a Ploughman's lunch, but I was surprised the English couple didn't even say it was Branston pickle although it was.
If anything has "flavoured" written on the pack it means that it doesn't contain that ingredient, just an artificial flavour of it. like chicken flavoured tofu doesn't contain chicken
Think it's the other way around if it say 'flavour' it doesn't have the actual thing in it. If it says 'flavoured' it has to have the thing it says in it. Also companies are only allowed to put a picture of the food on the packaging if it IS in the food.
No one makes squash by putting the water in the glass first! That’s crazy talk!
That's an incredibly watery glass of Ribena.
Heresy!
@@smudger671 I was thinking that, when I make ribena almost a quarter of the glass is ribena then add water.
Get your torches and pitchforks at the ready people, I see sacrilege going on.
I do because I only want to add a tiny bit.
I’m 43 never seen anyone put water in a glass first, plus adding water after you put cordial in mix’s it up itself. Great video anyway.
I do water first most of the time, because I only add a small bit of cordial. Easier to add a dash into the water after.
It’s just not right is it.
wine gums are fruit flavoured, they just have the names of wines on them
Noodle Kaboodle they used to have wine in during the Victorian era. They were sold in a Pharmacy and taken more as a Lozenge.

The scientific name for the blackcurrant is Ribes nigrum, from which "Ribena" is derived.
Thank you. These people provide no information. They don't do any homework. Such rubes!
