I always feel guilty when eating a scotch egg knowing that it would have hatched into a scottish person

"New and Improved" in the UK means "we took this thing your have enjoyed all you life and have now, to save 2p, f*cked it right up"

It's 1am and I'm watching people eat food. In the morning I'm gonna have a proper chat with myself.

For a counterpoint to the evil Blackjack you should try his good natured nemesis, the Fruit Salad!

you cannot beat a proper Melton Mowbray pork pie, you need some mature cheddar and Branston to go with it to get the full Ploughman's experience!!

Have you tried Flying Saucers yet? They're like communion wafers but with a sugar rush. You haven't had a communion wafer? its kinda like a Flying Saucer but holier.

I think I'm in love. Us Brits are blessed to have you. Also, get your arse' down to a Gregg's and try a steakbake. Or a cheese and onion pasty. Or the sausage rolls. Or anything that they bake. There's a reason the UK has more Gregg's outlets than Mcdonalds.

If you like Matchmakers, you'll love 'After Eight' choc mints.!

Bakewell tarts! Cherries and almonds. I'm completely with you.

Cadbury has changed since kraft foods took it over. It is not as good. And UK sweets in general are not as good as they were in the 1970's and 80's.

Great, you found some classics there. I remember going to the sweet shop and buying four blackjacks and fruit salad for 1d (that'a an old penny) - but that just shows my age!

Black Jacks were my absolute favourite sweet as a kid!

Pork pie ... bites and... just a little bit more! 😂 Try cutting the pie with a knife and not bite directly into it!😂 You are adorable!

Things like the pork pie are really stuff that is cut into quarters (or eigths) and eaten with other stuff (cheese or salad or scotch eggs etc). If you're eating a large piece then it really needs a relish (like branston) or some mustard.

Sliced in half is probably the best way to tackle a Scotch Egg.

Instead of a chomp, try a curly wurly. It's the same but just more spaced out. You'll know what I mean when you get one. Tip for eating pork pies and scotch eggs - cut them in to slices first, that way you can get straight to the filling without a huge bite.

You say whatever with an English accent, love it.

Highly recommend a visit to the original bakewell pudding shop in Bakewell in the Peak District. They are delicious!

The powder on the outside of Jelly Babies is corn starch which is compressed with the shape of the baby, the liquid jelly is poured in and when set the extra powder is shaken off, and reused for the next batch, the jellies are then left with the thin coat which stops them sticking together in the pack.

Now all I can think about is scotch eggs and pork pies... to the shop!

Black Jacks! OMG you have to do the whole pack and turn your tongue black. Its the law!| Its also the law to bite the heads off Jelly Babies and swap them over. as you've been in the UK two years you also need to start calling it "sweets" and not candy ;) lol

FYI Your meant to slice the pork pie👍🏻🇬🇧

The proper meal times are breakfast,lunch,tea,dinner (tea is pretty much afternoon brunch) also can anyone remember when chomps,fudge were 10pence.aniseed comes from the seeds of the anise plant, liquorice comes from the root of the liquorice plant.

Scotch eggs were invented in London as a convenient food for people who were traveling by carriage. Sort of an all in one portable meal. Scotched refers to the method of cooking.

The correct way to eat a Jelly Baby is thus:- lay it down on its back, squash the stomach with your forefinger, then squash its head. On no account do you crush its feet, that is uncivilized. This action will expose the gooey innards of the torso and head. Bite the head off first to enjoy an instant hit of white powder and gooeyness. Repeat for torso, then onto the rigidness of the uncrushed feet. Utter perfection, but it must be Bassetts, not some cheap Asda rip off.

Chomps got us through high school in the 90s! Those and Wham bars 😁

The bakewell tart is what the French call frangipane, which is basically almonds.

"THAT'S ENOUGH! ................. oh, one more! lol! You should try the orange flavoured Matchmakers. They're nice too.

I'm Canadian so I know exactly what you are talking about I'm from nova Scotia

Any oldies remember when chomps used to be 10p?

For proper traditional British sweets you need to try anything by Swizzels and also hunt down some uncle joes mint balls but they may be difficult to find down south. Love your videos! 😃

If you like that Scotchegg you would love the real thing from a good Pub or Good Bakery. Those cheap supermarket ones tend to be a bit average.

I loved the Canadian-English thing when you compared a pork pie (very English) to a hockey puck (very Canadian), perfect hehe.

This is so funny seeing you react to food I see as so normal! I love it! 😄 matchsticks are the best, hope you're having a fab time in England! 😊

Bakewell tart is made with a smear of jam in a sweet pastry & 'franzipan' it's used in a lot of other pastries. Basicly ground almonds & egg, that puffs up when cooked.

Scotch eggs done right are actually really god. Ploughman's lunch with Branston/ploughman's pickles was one of my usual go-to meals just because there were opportunities for varations of meats, cheeses and vegetables/salad. I was also addicted to steak and kidney pies.

When you got to the fudge I was praying you would like it cos its my favourite chocolate bar

Woah! How could you forget the cornish pasty! Proper dish 😎👌

Pork pies are known as "Growlers, they were originally made from boar's meat as a way of using it up. Boar's meat is tougher than Sow's meat so it was minced up to make it edible. Large family sized pork pies are known as "stand pies".

Hahaha ... pork pie: "I am OK with that.... just one more bite" and matchmakers: "oh, one more" ... and the custard slice is always a mess ... I think I am in love with you, you make me laugh and smile 😍 x

Good vid. I enjoyed your reaction to the foods you really liked. As to Blackjacks, I am frankly amazed they are still around. I grew up in the mid to late 1950s and these were usually sold loose along with a fruity tasting version called Fruit Salad. Most of the UK were still pretty poor and these sweets were 4 for 1 penny. That is an old penny which had 240 pennies to the pound. Brings back happy childhood days of kids poking black tongues at each other. The fruity version were strictly for wimps as they didn't dye your tongue. Other things to try; Cornish pasty, Jam and whipped cream scone, fried egg sarnie.

The English are made from custard.

5:33 so british lol "wotever"

You literally made all the right choices... I've seen people on similar videos choose all the wrong sweets Kudos.

If this is what the women from Canada are like I'm moving there!

Its like a hockey puck! Brilliant

Crumbs! You’ve got me in stitches. It’s like feeding a Horse or a Donkey! Not only do you get stuck in, but you don’t get it all over yourself. One could take you anywhere…!

All I have to say is Mr Kipling Actually also pecan swirls from Asda

orange matchmakers rock

To be fair, with pork pies and scotch are either really, really good or really, really bad. Matchmaker not only come in mint, they also come in orange and salted caramel. Can't believe you didn't like the custard slice, they are awesome.

Bakewell tart, a well known dessert. From the town/village of Bakewell, in I think, Derbyshire.

Right The best thing ever to come out of asda is me walking out of the door. Love your videos i used to live in Toronto miss it dearly

Scotch Egg doesn't mean it is Scottish, scotching is when you wrap something up in bashed minced up meat not sure if it has to have breadcrumbs and fried also to be scotched but its something like that.

Asda custard slice are rubbish, get a proper one from a bakery.

I'm from memphis tenesse USA and im staying in London for 6 months. You got to try traditional London food pie n mash and liquor I'm going to miss that when i go home

One of the biggest differences is that the UK has different manufacturers of chocolate and even allows imports from Switzerland. But the US only has Hershey's. They use rancid milk to allow the chocolate to travel and have a longer shelf life where as UK chocolates use fresh milk.

Great video. Larger pork pies like the one you had are usually cut into pieces and you only have a couple of slices with other foods, maybe as part of a buffet. But I can eat a whole one because I love them. Scotch eggs are lovely, but they can give you heartburn. All the best.

Not a cake person? You are lucky we repealed the blasphemy laws! That's prison worthy right there.

im pretty sure that proper Melton Mowbray pies used to have brains in them, pig ones obviously...

A finger of Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat, A finger of Fudge is just enough until it's time to eat, It's full of Cadbury goodness but very small and neat, A finger of Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.

you are considered a honorary Brit once you have some black pudding and if you want a good juice to drink try Ribena black currant nectar mmm good

At least she pronounced caramel correctly.

For mystified US viewers, "ASDA" is the UK version of Walmart. The stores are much smaller, have no sporting goods (guns/fishing/football stuff) or motor spares section (tires/windshield wipers/batteries etc) but the outlet is actually owned by Walmart.

Just found your channel, so great & interesting. Greetings from the north of England

anybody else get triggerd when she didn't bite the heads off the jelly babies and swop them over?

Scotch Egg, Victorian picnic food and a favourite of Queen Victoria. Pork pie usually sliced up and served with salad and pickles.

hahahaha, so enjoying your post young lady, so made me laugh regards the melton pork pie, I live just down the road from melton, and how we generaly accept how you eat it is, cut in half, and then into wedges, and personaly smothered in proper english mustard, that makes your nose and your eyes run, traditionaly around here eaten for breakfast on christmas day, and just as an aside me duck, any negative comments you receive, rise above them, you are being utterly honest, and that is refreshing. xxx ( they were added, just because, lol)

08:10 Dickinson and Morris!!!😍 You reminded me my childhood!!!♥ Aah...you are too foodie😅Gala pie, melton mowbray pork pie AND Mrs kings pork pies all my fav!!!👍

Try any of the tunnocks range.

I think it's incredible that a seed from the Anise plant tastes almost identical to the root of the Liquorice plant, even though they are completely different plants!, I must be crazy because I love them both :)

to eat a custard slice: turn through 90 degrees and use the top and bottom as the left and right sides, when you bite down it wont mush out the sides

I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the fudge. That was my go to treat as a kid. 😀

How cute is this girl!!! Good vid, fun, a good selection, have a like!!!

That custard slice is known as a bomph cake in our family as one bite and bomph goes the filling!

You can get a really posh Scotch egg made with real Scots haggis - and yes, the breadcrumb problem is real :) Egg in the middle - cross a pork pie with a scotch egg and you get a veal ham and egg pie - hard boiled egg through the middle of a pork pie equivalent.

Somehow you manage to make me laugh talking about the most mundane things, now thats a gift. You should think about TV work!

Comments taught me one thing: The British sure like their knives and forks. :p

Im so pleased that you like cherry bakewells!

Scotch egg is actually a modern abbreviation of 'scotched' egg, which is it's truename. Scotching meat involves hacking it to either tenderise, or roughly mince, which refers to the sausage meat surrounding the egg

The white powder on the Jelly Babies is actually Corn Starch, this is to release them from their molds.

I make my own scotch eggs, and put chilli in the sausage meat. Yum

If you think mint matchmakers are good you should try Bendicks bittermints :-)

As a lifelong English person, I never had a Scotch egg that I thought was any good, because the only ones I ever had were like that one: cold and wrapped in plastic. I had to move to the US to experience them the way they should be eaten: hot, homemade and freshly prepared. I don't mind saying that that was practically a religious experience. OMG, so good!

4 Matchmakers in 1 serving??? I eat 4 at one time! It's so easy to eat the whole box in one go. I like how you ditched the savouries so quickly for the chocolate.

Bakewell tart with custard rules

Crumpet/scone with a cuppa tea

I love that you apologise to us for making crumbs in your house. How ridiculously sweet is that.

I really love your channel and this is a particularly good video. Thank you for all the fun.

try a Cream Tea ...trust me you will love it !

What?! Blackjacks are ace.

Black jacks would be sold loose with “Fruit salads” raspberry and pineapple chews, they always went together. Then there were “Mojos”, various flavours 1/2 p each.

Best way to enjoy the pork pie, scotch egg and bakewell tart is by cutting them into portions and eating from the inside out.

There must be something wrong with me I was brought up on black jacks

I love mint and chocolate and I am British... We are friends now, right?

Instructions on matchmakers?? 1 open box. 2 eat until you are sick

Kids today won't remember the penny tray at the local corner shop. You could pick out blackjacks, refreshers, shrimps, etc for a 10p mix up.

Be honest after the video you ate the entire lot. Be honest

I bite the top off and squirt brown sauce on it. Or piccalilli. Works on both pies and scotch eggs. You want a warm scotch egg though, with a runny yolk.

Melton Mowbray pies are “mechanically processed” - try a handmade one! Get yourself to “Petch’s” in Great Ayton (pronounced “Canny Atton”) North Yorkshire, or Tindalls in Driffield, East Yorkshire! THEN you will have had a “Pie”!

Excellent video. How can you be so good at this? Keep them coming, please.
