Cornwall is a county not a city.

Mushy Peas aren’t just regular peas that have been mashed up. They’re dried Marrowfat Peas (peas that have been left to mature and dry out, making them bigger than normal peas) that have been left to soak overnight in water with baking soda. They’re then boiled until softened and have become mushy. They’re often served as a side dish alongside Fish and Chips so appear a lot in Fish and Chip shops.

I know Tyler never reads the comments, but for the rest of you, mushy peas are NOT traditionally flavoured with mint. They tried a a fancy London gourmet version. Dried marrowfat peas are boiled until mushable, stirred until creamed and seasoned with salt and pepper.

As someone who lives in the UK, I love watching your videos. Please, please get a PO box address so your viewers can send you some of these foods for you to try and make a video! .

There are over 1000 different cheeses produced in the UK, using cow, sheep or goat's milk, produced in hard, semi-hard, soft and semi-soft varieties, often with different herbs or fruit added to alter the flavour, and names to amuse or confuse. Like Stinking Bishop, Farleigh Wallop, Gallybagger, Goldilocks, Black Eyed Susan, Lincolnshire Poacher and Yarg. Many are speciality cheeses, only produced locally, and sometimes from animals from just one particular farm.

In the rest of the world, mint is also used as a savoury ingredient.

Yorkshire pudding is the EXACT same ingredients as a pancake but just cooked in the oven instead of frying the ingredients👍🏻

Tyler, the people you are reacting to don't seem to know much about British food given they've spent so long here. Yesterday's video was riddled with strange takes as was today's. I'm beginning to wonder whether they only ate at McDonald's whilst they were here. Cornwall isn't a city as was mentioned in the video The 'toxins' mentioned with the miners were either coal dust or residue from tin mining. In all my 55 years I've never heard of nor eaten minty mushy peas. Mushy peas generally have a different taste and consistency than other types of peas. They tend not to be mushed-up garden peas but rather bigger, older marrowfat peas. Americans tend not to have cheese shops per se as shelves full of spray cans aren't that visually appealing! Cheese culture in Britain and Europe tends to be a different than in America. Also, I find it weird that you describe both cooked pastry and cooked batter as 'bready'. Like a lot of viewers, I wish you'd open up a PO box and start experiencing British things first hand.

Stinking Bishop is named after the pear variety of the same name, which was in turn named after the farm it was grown on. Consequently, the name has nothing to do with the smelliness of the product.

Mushy peas are made with marrowfat peas which are mature standard green peas that have been allowed to ripen and dry in the fields. They are quite different from young garden peas as they contain a high proportion of starch, giving them their signature texture. They are soaked overnight with sodium bicarbonate, and then rinsed in fresh water. Cooking the peas causing them to disintegrate and create the desired mushy texture.

Strangely (and sadly) in most of America (US), lamb is rarely served and a 'roast lamb dinner' is just not a 'thing'. I was told that it goes back to the days of cowboys, ranches and cattle being 'king' and anyone who attempted to introduce sheep were usually shunned... so lamb is not often an option. Which in turn, means most American's don't know that 'mint sauce' is a common accompaniment to lamb...

Scotch eggs - hard-boiled eggs coated in sausage meat and breadcrumbs then deep-fried Bubble and squeak - left-over vegetables, especially mashed potatoes and cabbage, shallow-fried until crispy Lancashire hotpot - lamb stewed with vegetables and topped with thin slices of potato Shepherd's pie (lamb) or cottage pie (beef) - similar to a hotpot but topped with mashed potato which is then shaped into ridges and grilled until they're just starting to blacken Balti - an authentic British curry which was invented in either Glasgow or Birmingham depending on who you talk to

Fresh mint is often added to fresh peas and to new potatoes. It should only leave a hint of flavour, not be overwhelming. Strong cheeses are an acquired taste, and Stinking Bishop is delicious. I think very few Americans try different types of food from delicatessens- just eat bland supermarket or fast food rubbish.

Toad in the hole is a comfort dish I'd get a lot as a kid for dinner. Usually served with mashed potato and lots of onion gravy. Cheap but filling meal! Stinking Bishop is a cheese I ate as part of a cheese plate on special occasions. I would eat it more often but it's not cheap cheese. Mushy peas are delicious with your fish and chips or with a meat pie, mash and gravy.

I didn't realise there were so many differences in common foods in the UK and America tbh 🤣 Yorkshire Pudding is a batter, baked in the oven until it rises. Commonly eaten with a roast dinner, particularly beef. Toad in the Hole is sausages cooked in the batter.

Americans can say New Hampshire correctly but for anything else they pronounce the shire at the end as if its Lord of the rings.

Yorkshire Pudding is made with a pancake-like batter baked in a very hot oven in oiled muffin baking trays, for Toad in the Hole, you take some sausages, place them in a baking tray, add the Yorkshire Pudding batter, then bake in the oven and serve with Gravy and veg. Sweet Yorkshire Puddings can also be served as a dessert with fruits and syrup or honey or sugar. Typically, in the UK, pudding is a steamed bowl of cake. Christmas Pudding is steamed fruit cake soaked in brandy, Sticky Toffee Pudding is a sponge cake with caramelised sugar or syrup at the bottom, Spotted Dick is a steamed sponge cake with currents inside, all best served with Custard, Ice Cream or both. Pasties are basically single portion pies you can eat on the go, Clangers are similar to pasties but have a savory half and a sweet half - so you get your main and dessert in the same pasty.

Most mushy peas do NOT normally have mint in them - they are a large pea that is cooked in a solution of sodium bicarbonate - this makes the pea structure collapse into a thick paste. Digestives were called digestives as they were made as a biscuit that supposedly help you digest your food - a not too sweet wheat based biscuit - you can get them half coated with chocolate (dark or milk) - good to dip or can be buttered and served with cheese. Commonly crushed and mixed with melted butter to form the base of a cheesecake. Yorkshire pudding is a pancake batter that is cooked in the oven - traditionally cooked under roasting meat so the meat juices drip into the Yorkshire Pudding - in baking, the pudding will rise and become crisp. Great served with roast beef and lashings of gravy (preferably onion gravy) - in some places it is sweetened and might be served spread with jam.

Scotland have their own version of a pastie called a ‘bridey’ which is basically the same thing but more spicy with less veg. Mushy peas are something you mainly find in northern UK, peoples attitude to it is a bit like marmite, you either love or hate them. We also use mint sauce to accompany lamb (finely chopped mint with white wine vinegar and a little bit of sugar, used in the same way you’d use cranberry sauce) Toad in the hole (and Yorkshire pudding) is best eaten covered with thick meat gravy

Canadian here. I grew up on Digestives. They’re delish. Mint goes well with spring lamb. Mushy peas would be a good side. My grandmother made toad in the hole. A lot of these dishes would be familiar to many English Canadians with ties to the UK, like mine. The interesting thing about all of these is that most of the dishes are like peasant food. Very simple, hearty and efficient in the use of ingredients, like the use of sweetbreads. They speak to humble beginnings, unlike, for example, French dishes which are more sophisticated.

"Many American dishes that disturb people outside of America" let's start with Grits and biscuits with gravy 😆

I don’t understand. Why is a pastie alright and a meat pie is scary. They are both basically meat encased in pastry.

The pasty has been part of the British diet since the 13th Century, at first by the rich upper classes and royalty. The fillings varied; venison, beef, lamb and seafood, flavoured with rich gravies and fruits. It wasn’t until the 17th and 18th centuries that the pasty was adopted by tin miners and farm workers in Cornwall as a means for providing themselves with easy, tasty meals while they worked gruelling days down dark, damp mines, at such depths it wasn’t possible for them to surface at lunchtime. The crust served as a means of holding the pasty with dirty hands without contaminating the meal. Arsenic commonly accompanies tin within the ore that they were mining so, to avoid arsenic poisoning in particular, it was an essential part of the pasty.

Mint sauce is an absolute necessity with a roast lamb dinner in Australia. We smother the meat and vegetables with gravy and mint sauce. You can buy it or make your own with fresh chopped mint, brown vinegar and sugar.

I just want to say, I live in Scotland. I don't eat haggis often, but even my small local food shop always has haggis. Its extremely easy to find and some people do eat it regularly.

The cornish pastie is a pastie made in Cornwall. They did not invent pasties as they have been around for a very long time and contain countless different fillings. Cornish pasties are a unique filling first made in Cornwall. Pasties and porkpies where invented for miners to take into the mines so they could have a meal wrapped up that would not leak in there pails. The important thing is the calories they got to continue their work.

When the Mexican tin miners came to the uk during the war they were introduced to Cornish Pasties and then after the war they took them back with them, and to this day they make them in the villages and call them Pasté.

Digestives are the most basic of biscuits. Luckily, chocolate digestives are also a thing and Britain has lots of other great biscuits! Someone could do a whole KZfaq video on British biscuits!

Mint added to food is quite popular in the UK. People add mint (mint sauce) to lamb, kebabs, fries, mayonnaise, and of course peas 😂

Tyler, in the UP, Michigan, they make pasties and deliver them frozen across the US. They’re filled with vegetables and can be eaten cold or hot. Calzone being Italian, you pronounce the final e, like fettucine.

Digestive biscuits were developed in Scotland in the 1840s by two doctors. They are frequently eaten with tea or coffee. Sometimes, the biscuit is dunked into the tea and eaten quickly due to the biscuit's tendency to disintegrate when wet. Digestive biscuits are one of the top 10 biscuits in the UK for dunking in tea. The digestive biscuit is also used as a cracker with cheeses, and is often included in "cracker selection" packets. In the UK, McVitie's digestive is the best selling biscuit, with 80 million packs sold annually, thought there are many other popular brands (such as Cadbury’s) as well as supermarkets' own versions. Digestives are also popular in food preparation for making into bases for cheesecakes and similar desserts. We also have chocolate digestives, these are coated on one side with either milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

Haggis is very common in Scotland, Tyler, and is an integral part of a Burns Supper, which is quite a formal dining event held on January 25th each year to commemorate the birth of Robert Burns, who is considered to be Scotland's national bard. There is also a vegetarian recipe that is increasingly popular. It is often used as a stuffing in other dishes too - Chicken Balmoral is one of the better-known ones, though it is often served sliced and fried with bacon, sausages, eggs and and black-pudding, as a Scottish version of the full English breakfast! Black pudding is also commonly served with breakfast throughout most of Northern England and Scotland, as well as deep fried with chips and perhaps some kind of savoury sauce, from most fish and chip outlets. Pork pies are absolutely synonymous with picnics and travel food throughout the UK, at one time being the most exotic thing available on the menu of British Railway's travelling buffet cars...! There is a particular type named after the Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray that I find particularly tasty, as the meat is cooked differently with some spices, and there is rather less jelly than in the ordinary ones. Minted garden peas are common enough, but I must say it is relatively unusual for mushy peas to be minted - the traditional way of cooking them is to boil the raw peas in a solution of water and baking soda until they fall apart, and then drain off the excess liquid. As for names, forget Stinking Bishop (which is relatively rare): there is a kind of meatball dish that originates in the English Midlands called faggots. I kid you not - Google it - the company that makes them is called Mr Brains...

Everyone loves McVities Digestives! Especially the chocolate coated ones. The same is true about Cornish Pasties, delicious. Yorkshire pudding ingredients, once cooked, is usually served as a side, with Sunday lunch of roast beef. In mediaeval, olden days, it was relied on to make the lack of meat, feel more substantial as a filling meal.

I'm a 68 year old, and I've never been served a portion of Mushy Peas with a Mint flavour. Straight up Peas for me please. Digestive biscuits were originally made as an aid for digestive purposes, but soon came to be just a regular snack that most would indulge in, my personal favourite biscuit.

They were correct about the pasty but omitted that originally they had meat & veg at one end of the Cornish (as in Cornwall)pastie & jam or something sweet at the other, so the miners had a 2 course lunch. Another fact is if these are made outside of Cornwall they are not allowed to call it a Cornish pastie, it would just be a pastie….. & yes Stinking Bishop is regularly eaten & enjoyed. In my opinion it doesn’t taste like it smells, just like Parmesan is strong smelling but great on pasta.

The mushy peas having mint, in the UK peas are often cooked by boiling in water with mint in it. Mint is a normal flavouring for peas, also for new (baby) potatoes.

I dont know how I stumbled onto your channel but I'm so glad i did, its soo funny, i never realised as an Englishman how little Americans knew about things we take for granted and your reactions are hillarious lol... erm I'm a chef have been for 10 years and I just want to clarify a couple of things from this video and the last first off haggis is not very common in Britain it's more of a scottish thing and it's not something everyone likes you will find alot of brits would have the same reactions as you on that one. Marmite I think I saw on your other video also another hit or miss thing some people love it some people hate it, theres even a saying "its abit like marmite" used to describe weather your gunna love something or hate it. Lastly I had to pause it on the road in the hole thing and comment, since there was a confusion about the yorkshire (pronounced York sher in yorkshire lol I'm also a yorkshireman lol). Yorkshire puddings are amazing and dont be confused into thinking it's a dessert most of the time you would have them on a roast dinner with beef, ham, turkey, pork ect with gravy ect, and they are beautiful if done right I fully recommend it, once you've had that with a roast dinner you wont go back lol, and toad in the hole is just a large Yorkshire (for short) with sausages in that's served the same a roast dinner with vegetables and mash potato :) ... but yes on rare occasions yorkshire puddings can be used as a dessert too with ice cream and sweet sauces also good but that's not as common :) ... anyway keep up these awesome videos quite educational from a British stand point too but also hillarious lol

Digestives were originally made as a digestive aid as it's made with wholemeal flour which was thought to aid digestion & the name stuck u can get just plain ones or covered with milk & dark chocolate & u dunk them in your tea

Digestives also exist in Canada, in the packaging they showed when showing a picture. We can get them in the regular cookie aisle unlike some UK things where we have to go to "novelty" shops. I am sure they exist in other places, and are not exclusive to the UK, which I am happy about because I do like them lol

The county of Cornwall synonymous with pirates and pasties you have to have Cornish pasties it’s the only place that do them properly- also if these 2 had done their homework they would have taken the digestives with them when tasting the cheese they are an unbelievable compliment to any cheese ( with saint agur - YUM ) .

Cheese shops are fairly common in the UK, usually combined with a butchers.

Lamb with mint sauce or jelly. Yum.

Mushy peas are dried Marrowfat peas that are soaked in water with sodium bicarbonate overnight. They are then rinsed in fresh water and placed in a saucepan and covered with water. They are then brought to the boil and simmered until the peas are softened. Mixing in mint sauce is an option. Mint sauce is a normal condiment used on roast lamb.

There are a quite a few variants of mushy peas. One simple traditional variant is dried marrowfat peas, soaked in water and bicarbinate of soda over night. Then drained and rinsed the next day. Add to a pan and add water and sometimes a little more bicarb. The bicarb breaks down the peas making them mushy, once cooked (so not rock hard peas) season to taste. VERY VERY nice. There are so many variants though.

Fish and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce 😋 food of the gods

Aussie here. Mint (spearmint) is a an easy to grow herb commonly used in mint sauce (mint vinegar water sugar and salt) with peas and lamb. Roast lamb in particular. You can throw a few leaves in with the peas or potatoes while theyre cooking. Or dried as as a seasoning in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Also in mint tea in the Middle East. The mint used as the flavouring for sweets (and toothpaste) icomes from a combination of Peppermint Spearmint and other types of mint (ref Google) Theres lots of different types. Cant believe mint isnt known in the US! And no thats not toad in the hole its just fried egg in bread... here anyway.. No pasties weren't invented for the miners. They were around before then. But they did use the hard edge and corners as a handle not touching the rest of it so they could eat everything and throw away the edges. Have heard that in some places they had meat and veggies on one side and apple or fruit on the other so they had dessert as well. Might not be accurate.

Mushy peas with mint sauce is very popular in Nottingham. It's a snack sold at fairs, bonfire nights etc

I have never heard of sugar in mushy peas. Just butter, mint and salt and pepper

It's not the foods in America that disturbs us Brits, it's the synthetic ingredients in it that does. Don't get me started on your use of growth hormones in your beef. Pasties used to have half sweet filled, and the other savoury filled. Dinner and dessert in one go. Now, it's just purely savoury.

A true Yorkshireman will have Yorkshire Pudding as a separate first course, served with gravy. before a Sunday Roast. And they're tricky to cook. It took me many, many attempts before I learned how to get them right.

Yorkshire pudding, pancake mix, and toad in the hole mix are all the same batter…add a tiny bit lemonade for extra rise ;) That egg in toast we call egg dipped in bread here (County Durham) rather than toast dipped in egg :)

stinky cheeses are a super common thing in europe, they even tend to be classified as the better tasting ones. some of them aren't allowed in the u.s because of the way they're served. i think that "gooey" center that some of them have isn't allowed by the fda

This makes me as an English man wonder what you all Americans actually do eat if you don't have all these perfectly normal foods. Seems most of your stuff is fast food like pasta, takos etc. Many foods are of working origen, i'e taking snacks to the fields/workplace. Many are 'peasant' meals, like haggis uses the parts of animals the rich folk wouldn't want. I don't think the miners worried about toxins, just dirt. There is no mint in mushy peas! We may have mint sauce on lamb. I find many US foods nasty with metallic after taste, i'e sweetcorn, pumpkin, cranberries. Digestives: most biscuits come from Victorian times, with names of the time. Good cheese has to smell! There are hundreds of types of cheese available, you have hardly any in the US. Some people like very strong cheese, but it's a personal choice. Toad in the hole not a hole. Sausage in Yorkshire pudding. Pudding has a wider meaning than in the US. It covers many things with mixed ingredients, both sweet & savoury. It can also just refer to the final course of a meat, i'e a sweet or desert. The US tends to be too particular, or too general in some cases. Biscuits refer to a vast range of baked goods, referred to by the individual type, only one sort being the American 'cookie', the chocolate chip variety which we got from the US. The American 'biscuit' does not exist in the UK at all, being only superficially like a scone. But scones are sweet, not savoury. I cannot think of anything of the sort which we would t gravy on. Gravy in the UK goes on meat dishes only (though some odd people put it on fish & chips I believe). Yorkshire pudding is. made from a batter, similar to a crepe or thin pancake, but baked in cup shaped tins, of various sizes, & can thus contain other foods. Large ones were used like a plate to hold the other elements of a meal in old times. Small individual ones as side dishes came later. They are often served with the Sunday roast beef dinner, a day when women had more time to prepare the family meal.

I love very strong cheeses, Stinky Bishop included. They're not to everyones taste but just like marmite, if you have the pallette for it, it is truly delicious.

I've never tasted the mint in my mushy peas, anyhow it's great with fish n chips and are great for "dunking" in tea. I've never heard of or tried the Stinking Bishop - don't think I will 😂. It's not a common cheese. A Yorkshire pudding is made from a batter and is eaten with a roast beef meal amongst other things

They are not mashed up garden peas. Tradionally made from specially type of pea called marrowfat which are really big and usually come dried. You soak them over night and then boil them. They have a sorty of beany taste.

Yorkshire pudding is basically an oven baked pancake, Cornwall is actually a county (not a city) in the far South west of the UK. The area is very rich in minerals and had a lot of tin mining which has some mines that are quite deep. So coming above ground for lunch was not practical. The Pasty origin was kind of correct in that it allowed the miner to eat without touching the food as washing was difficult. Pasties, pork pies etc are available in most UK supermarkets. I'll mention scotch eggs and spotted dick (a steamed pudding with fruit) as nice, but I'm not convinced about stargazy pie (fish pie with prawns sticking out through the pastry crust). Also in the UK it is traditional to have lamb with mint sauce - apparently it was a law that lamb had to be served with "bitter herbs" and mint was the least bitter herb that qualified.

I live in the UK Tyler and l think you would love Toad in the Hole with British onion gravy. Also Mushy Peas put o to your plate of Fish and Chips with salt and vinegar is wonderful. On your fork put some fish, chips, mushy peas and vinegar. Never heard of that stinky cheese. Love your show.

Digestives were made to aid in digestion as they are high in fiber. Toad in the Hole is cooked as part of a "Sunday Lunch" (a large meal, typically done once a week, aka: a Roast Dinner - eaten any time of the week, but traditionally on a Sunday). Usually replaces the meat and/or the Yorkshire Puddings (but some people still keep both)

Yorkshire pudding is usually served with dinner, I was bought up with Yorkshire pudding and jam ,my dad came from Sunderland. Toad in the hole is eaten whenever you fancy. Easy to cook.

English muffins are bread from a dough and baked, crumpets are a batter poured on a hot plate, usually eaten hot, toasted with butter and or honey

When we recently shared norovirus as a family (!!!) the nurse advised us to introduce digestive biscuits as a first food once we had our appetite back. They absolutely work. Very gentle flavour, smooth crumbly flavour. They are a bit like graham crackers but not quite the same. Also excellent when coated in chocolate. You can fake smores by catching a toasted marshmallow between two chocolate digestive biscuits (chocolate side touching the marshmallow).

My Mother used to cook Cornish Pastie's they can be just mixed vegetables and leave out the meat - yes one handed lunch, like meat pies in Australia! Cornwall is a separate country in South West England! 😋 Mushy peas, there is a roadside cafe in Sydney specialising in a pie with mushy peas on top, very popular! 😊 Mum cooked peas, and new potatoes, with mint leaves, and made mint sauces! 👍 Digestives, no idea, we have milk arrowroot biscuits! 🤔 Stinking Bishop?, very smelly cheese! 🤨 That should have been in Ratatouille!! 😂 Toad in a Hole is like an Australian sausage roll! 👍 The American one is like a French toast! 😏 The Pastie wins! 😁

No sugar in mushy peas. Mint is a common flavouring for peas, for sauce to accompany lamb, for curries, and for several other things. You use the herb - mint - not a candy flavouring,

Many of our foods originated in different parts of Britain. Cornish pasties originated from the the county of Cornwall and we're eaten by ton miners. Yorkshire pudding, Bakewell tarts, Lancashire hot pot and so on.

Yorkshire pudding is a batter you put in a tray & cook in oven.. you eat them with vegetables.. meat & british brown gravy.. x

King Henry VIII of England was a big fan of surprises and not a fan of meal times where it was once said that the King was bored at seeing the same food on the table, so a lot of the chefs concealed the meat of the day within in a pastry as to make meal times exciting. This lead to an assortment of filling's coated with pastry with Deserts/pudding also got the same treatment. So a lot of these pastry dishes were invented during the Tudor period.

Stinking Bishop is delicious, it deffo doesn't taste how it smells. It's a less common cheese (unfortunately most artisan cheeses are only eaten regularly by foodies). About 20 tonnes is produced each year.

You get your mushy peas from a fish and chip shop with your hot pie, steak and kidney, minced beef etc., you get pork pies from bakers shops, they're meant to be eaten cold with salad etc..

cornwall is a county not a city. it s indeed the home of the pasty. the origin legend suggests they were eaten by tin miners who would discard the bit of pasty they were holding. the edge was crimped to seal it, they wouldn't hold it using it. the would hold one pointy end. mushy peas are nice, it's not just squashed peas though. digestive biscuits are delish. they were originally made as an aid to digestion, they have changed over the years to what they are now as a sweet treat. you can get them covered (one side only) in chocolate you can spread butter on them and eat them like that, or even with cheese. stinking bishop cheese is gorgeous, consistency similar to camembert but runnier (especially when left out of the fridge to get to room temperature ready to eat), it is strongly flavoured and lots of people who like cheese love it. we have many shops which specialise in selling cheeses. britain produces over 600 different types or cheese. toad in the hole is lovely, sausage and yorkshire pudding, add gravy and you can't go wrong. when i was growing up my mum would make a large yorkshire pud for each of us and we would eat it with jam spread on it.

Mushy peas are made with marrowfat peas not garden peas. Some recipes do add mint but I've never noticed them tasting particularly minty. Minted peas are also a thing in the UK but they're not mushy. Mushy peas are often served with fish and chips, particularly in the East Midlands and Yorkshire.

Pork pies are sold in most food stores, supermarkets etcetera!

Yorkshire Puddings are major. They can be made either large or small. They used to be a food of the very poor, but are now commonly used as side dish, particularly for a Sunday roast, being a good receptacle for gravy. You can also have them with golden syrup or jam as a sweet. Yorkshire is proud of them, and I've even had a Yorkshire Pudding course at a posh restaurant there. An omission is f*****s and mushy peas, the signature dish of the West Midlands. (I'm nervous about writing it out in full. This is why we here don't call a gay person a f*****. ) Essentially, they're large meatballs made from 'every part of the pig but the squeal'. They can be delicious.

Tyler if you want to be really confused have some Black Pudding! Not a pudding at all but congealed pigs blood, fat and suet in a sausage... Delicious part of a full English!!

Roast lamb accompanied by mint sauce (chopped spearmint in vinegar with, perhaps, a tiny amount of sugar) is gorgeous. Also excellent on roast potatoes.

My mother used to call the pasty shown in the video as "Dinosaurs" when she asked which ones we wanted because there different shapes with different fillings. There's beef, corned beef and cheese and onion to mention a few. You don't know what you are missing.😆

That Bishop thing. I assume is very niche. Never heard of it. The most popular cheese here is cheddar. By far. Pasty is amazing btw. It's one of my favourite meals for dinner or "lunch" and alot of varieties. Cornish being the one they described, but cheese and onion, cheese and bacon etc. So many. It's incredible. On another point. Pork pie and scotch eggs are incredible snacks. Don't knock them until you try them. Delicious.

Toad in the hole is served very commonly as a family meal. It should have lovely bangers (sausages) in it. A good one will be crispy round the edges. It’s 😅never served for breakfast!

Yorkshire pudding is basically a savoury pancake mix ,baked in a muffin tin and eaten with a roast dinner ,toad in the hole is the same but with sausages added to the mix and baked in a larger baking pan (my mum used to make it in a cake pan ) .as for cheese we have hundreds of varieties made with different milks and added ingredients . my favourite English cheeses are mature cheddar cheese and Wensleydale with cranberry ,and my favourite Welsh cheese has to be Y Fenny it's a cheese made with beer and mustard seeds and it's extremely moreish. I believe its sold in the USA by a different name Red Dragon ( because its sold with a red wax coating like minni baby bell or Edam cheese) and has to be made in Y Fenny village to be officially called y Fenny cheese.

The way my mum used to make toad in the hole the sausages ( have to be good bangers like Lincolnshire or Cumberland) , were more incorporated into the pudding and you could hardly see them so they would only be peeking out of the holes, P.s. mushy peas have to be made from the marrow fat type.

"Stinking Bishop" (@1972) is a relatively modern invention, compared to an ancient named cheese like Cheshire Cheese (@1580, perhaps much older). Personally I prefer a good Stilton but some cheese aficionados love it? A friend of mine has to always ensure Stinking Bishop is one of the cheeses available at formal Dinners at his Cambridge College.

We defiantly need to find a video that explains the differences between biscuits and cookies

Mushy pea fritters are the best thing with them. Pasties started as Cornish pasties from the tin mines but now have lots of different fillings. The stinky cheese is exactly that! an it's not a surprise that you don't know about it 99%of people wouldn't have anything to do with it. Digestive biscuits are great for dunking in tea, until you dunk one a bit too much an it devolves in the cup making the tea undrinkable.

Tyler... These two need to do more research. I watched Part 1 and am halfway through Part 2 and there are so many errors (e.g. crumpets are nothing like English muffins, mushy peas don't usually have mint, the layer around the meat in pork pies is not fat, it's a type of jelly called aspic made from meat broth, Cornwall is not a city, but a county in the southwest of England, etc.). Almost everything that they comment on is iffy, if not outright wrong. It's driving me crazy!

Never heard of a CALZONE ! A Cornish pasty is basically a hand held pie. Cornwall is NOT a CITY ! It's a county in England ! MUSHY is NOT pronounced MOOSHY ! MINT AND SUGAR in mushy peas !!?? WHERE !!?? Not in the UK !! Digestives are great dipped in tea. Or I have them with cheddar cheese. Toad in THE hole ! Yorkshire pudding is served as part of a Sunday roast dinner in the UK. Our "puddings" can be savoury or sweet. Savoury= black pudding, Yorkshire pudding. Sweet= trifle, ice cream, apple pie, jam roly poly, spotted dick, cake. A sweet pudding is basically a DESSERT in the UK.

Many gardeners in the UK have their own mint patch. Mint is used with new potatoes and mint sauce is often served with roast lamb. The sauce is simply chopped mint leaves in malt vinegar with a pinch of sugar.

Musty peas are peas mushed up to mush.. normally served just as peas but sometimes they have mint.. the fresh leaf mint.. not an artificial mint liquid.. the real mint from the plant x

Going back to Part One. Haggis is usually eaten on 25th January, the birthday of Robbie Burns. Check out his Address to the Haggis.

Stinking Bishop is great cheese! Delicious

The mint in the mushy peas, is not peppermint but the herb mint. You also get mint in mint sauce, chopped mint with a little sugar and vinegar. It is eaten on lamb. The toxins in the Cornish Mines would be lead, the pasty crusts would be left for the knockers, the mine gnomes.

Stinking Bishop an acquired taste ,like Stilton and blue cheese. There are connoisseurs of cheese in the same way of wine.

Mushy peas are not the same type of pea as frozen (or fresh), peas. They are a variety called Marrowfat and are dried. They need to be soaked overnight then simmered in water with fresh mint leaves until they breakdown and become 'mushy'. As it's all a bit of an effort, tins of ready prepared mushy peas can be bought which just need reheating. Peas and mint is a common combination in the UK.

Mushy peas sounds confusing but the mint is not likes mints, mint is grown in gardens or allotments etc and mint is not sweet it’s a herb. Hope this helps you understand what they were trying to describe. Also we have a huge variety of cheese in Britain and no disrespect American cheese is awful compared to what we have in the UK, some cheese do smell bad but they taste amazing. Love your reaction though it’s is so funny. ❤

Mint sauce is chopped mint and vinegar served with lamb or mutton (older sheep) also apple sauce with pork or gammon

Why do Americans call all pastry bread when their bread is more like cake

I don't even know where to start on all the things this american couple got completely wrong. I'm assuming they've never actually had a crumpet, as they are nothing like an English muffin(which are in fact an American invention.)

Mushy peas are soaked dried peas, which are boiled until soft often with a pinch of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to keep more of their green colour. Mint sauce can be added but not usually.

Quick message/clarification from my wife: I grew up in Cornwall, and must admit I laughed hearing it called the "City of Cornwall", it's a County rather than a city, and is a rural backwater inhabited by the English equivalent of America's "rednecks". In fact, few settlements in Cornwall are larger than villages. The origin story about the pasty is absolutely true - Cornwall is traditionally a mining area, where tin, China Clay, and granite are mined, and there's a very large concentration of arsenic in the soil. The traditional pasty contained steak, turnip, swede, and a few other vegetables I'm forgetting, but as for "pasty recipes", it's one of those things where if you try to vary things, Cornish people will be outraged with you for making an "improper" pasty! However, if you make a 'proper' one, whether or not you enjoy it, the people around you will complain about the smell.

That American Toad in the Hole has a name here in the UK. It's called egg on toast.

They covered mushy peas but obviously haven't come across peas pudding!
