the gravy pulls it together, its' just a bunch of food otherwise.

LOL i was too. just chuck the whole lot on the plate and cover it with gravy . i think he was eating horse radish not mustard . and its apple for pork

I also shouted at the screen when they weren’t putting the gravy on the roast 😂

Haha, exactly the same here! And no beer to wash it down with?!

So true backed out at first when i saw they were doing a yorkshire pudding without gravy.

Maybe it was Snuff?

@@1346crecy nope, coke normally sniff off a key

@@thingyee1118 I was joking mate.

you probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last months =)

@Malcolm Winston yup, been using Instaflixxer for since november myself :)

And the old Thru'penny bit.. @shlibber

Please speak for your self or for your loutish, boisterous off their heads, ethanol fueled class.

To be fair in a culture with such nuanced and rigid customs and a set way of what is and isn't done hammered into your psyche, for some the best way to let go is to remove your inhibitions by drinking alcohol.

Hahaha, Yea, it was a lot better with the gravy. -E

moon_raker yes, and the Yorkshire pudding 😁

We have Spanish friends coming from Madrid this weekend and one of their requests is a dinner with lots of gravy! 😂

moon_raker Right ? One of the fun things about videos like these is discovering the small things we just do as a matter of course that turn out to be much less universal than we think - gravy in/over the pud is so expected I felt like a low key tension waiting for it to happen ;).

I have not had yorkshire pudding before but that was so wanting gravy and definitely roast needs gravy. Kyde said that was sweet potato in the veggies, was it really? I would of guessed parsnip since it was white (sweet potato that I am use to is orange), elongated cuts like carrot, and be a more traditional veggie for England.

I wish I could super love this comment. So happy you understand why we chose to keep things as clean and simple as possible! Thank you! -E

Absolutely. The two of you have an energy that's really nice. Your opinions are honest. If you don't particularly like something, you share is as a travel tip, just like any seasoned traveler might do. There's none of this "Look at me!" quality to your videos. It's great. Btw, when you are traveling spontaneously, its a good idea to plan ahead for lodging in some of the bigger towns, even in off season. In Spain, for example, even if going to Pamplona, it's best to try to book ahead because even people from the local communities will come to the bigger town to spend the weekend.

Eric your fork game is poor and boarded line retarded- no offence

Yeah and the spiral is to make it more difficult for anyone walking up the steps to fight with their sword.

@@andyderbyshire519 The spiral is always clockwise (going up) so the defender fighting down the staircase using a sword in the right hand (as most people are right handed) would have an advantage over an attacker coming up wielding a sword.

@@nevillemason6791 Yes, this is what I was implying with my answer. Thank you for clarifying though.

Don't want to sound like a posh d!ck but you are also meant to take you jacket and hat of when inside, especially when eating Sunday dinner, I'm surprised it's not universal etiquette. Lucky not hung drawn and quartered for it, which would be a terrible shame as I love your videos !

I like these videos and the couple BUT squirm at American table manners ! Why do they change hands with the cutlery ( when they use it!) and use a to cut food when they have a knife in the other hand (hopefully), also the way they leave the cutlery on the plate when they have finished Someone tell them to lay the fork and knife TOGETHER in the plate centre Hate the way they stab a whole sausage etc. on a fork, and put the whole thing up to the mouth and take bites, while holding it there ! Trying to get their mouths around huge burgers instead of cutting it to a decent size ! I will probably get a whole lot of down arrows, but I have been watching these videos for ages, and today just could not keep quiet ! Right, I have got that off my chest !

If your still there you should try and stop at the national railway museum based in york

Draw gate = portcullis and the faces are gargoyles to scare of evil spirits

Kyde and Eric wait so where are you guys from??

It's a motte and Bailey only the tower part (the castle) is still here also the bar/gate thing I'm pretty sure is a York thing ^.^ the renovation work on the minster is always going on hope you enjoyed your time here :)

'Bar' meaning gate comes from the word 'Barbican' which is a type of fortification that the gates used to have. The barbican has been removed (not recently) on all but 1 of the gates, Walmgate bar, which you would have seen on your walk around the walls! It could also come from the fact that the gates were used as places to tax goods coming into and out of the city, known as a 'Toll Bar'. Both seem plausible to me! It's a shame you didn't have time to go around the minster as it is really is amazing! and the catacombs are very interesting too!

It's expensive. It was free when I visited as a child in the late 90's.

Agreed: that is worth the wait. A bonus if someone is opening up the taps on the main organ or the choir is practicing or you attend a service. Then there’s the tower, crypt and foundations. The last of these is essential for anyone with the remotest interest in history: stand in the probable location in the buried Roman basilica where Constantine the Great was declared Emperor.

It took 250 years to build!

LOL, I just wrote the same thing, then deleted it when I saw your comment. :D Sometimes they do go anti-clockwise - it depends where the staircase is in the castle from a defence perspective - for example staircases that lead downward or underground - because attackers would come in from ground level. The principle is always the same though, the staircases were built to give the incumbent defenders the right hand sword/crossbow/spear advantage. They would choose clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on whether you were defending upwards, or defending downwards.

and after a few steps they would have one step that was bigger (taller) to trip the attacker up, a trip step.

Think it was Robertson's jam that had the Golliwog on the label ? Different times.

Robinson's jam used the Golly as a mascot. They retired the Golly years ago but they originate from Enid Blighton's stories. Robinson's used Golly for decades as it's mascot and in their advertising and over the years they also used his likeness on merchandise like soft toys, badges, tea towels, fridge magnates ect... Although Golly's image is now considered as racist he was and in many circles still is an extremely popular character. There is a huge collectors market for merchandise with Golly's likeness especially now as new merchandise is rarely produced and If it is new stuff it's not licensed or endorsed by Robinson's Jam.....

TheMaestro AE Just been down an interesting rabbit hole about false memory because of your post so ta ;). (I sort of remembered Robinson's jam too so had to check but it's actually _Robertson's_ and we're far from alone - there're people advertising "Robinson's Gollies" on eBay and even more extreme, people that think the Robinson's/Robertson's cognitive dissonance/misremembering is evidence of multiple realities !)

It was Robertson's, you're right... Robinson's was the orange squash....

if you collected so many of the little paper ones from the label off the jar you could send off for an enamel badge

shame about the toilets

I know. Bless.

Haha, thanks! Don't get mad at us when you hear how we unknowingly pronounced The Thames River. hahahah. -E

@@kydeanderic Ha, I wouldn't dare. People are too quick to correct others. I remember when I was in the US of A (Florida) having the breakfast buffet and happily choosing "Biscuits" and spreading a mass of butter & jam on them. I received some peculiar stares. Looked like scones to me. Being told "I should eat them with gravy" I kindly gave them back a peculiar stare :/

Haha, not according to the comments on all our British videos. -E

Yes he looked like he was being assaulted (which he was,poor bloke).

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it! We are a bit jealous of your current location though! -E

Sounds about right, haha

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! -E

It's really cool! -E

Haha, nice!

I live in York as well.. Weird how we both got this on our recommended haha.

Wish we could take you up, unfortunately we are already back at home! -E

Kyde and Eric ahhh nws! Hope you had a great time travelling. I’ll be watching the rest of your visit :)

Terry Love The closest thing Americans get to a roast dinner is Thanksgiving Dinner (essentially our Christmas dinner level of food). Pretty much like with our Christmas dinner, you feel full afterwards and just doze off in front of the tv.

Makes sense!

I really, really should finish watching the vid before commenting but I'll never learn. For the most part (there are exceptions) a pudding is anything that is boiled, steamed, baked, fried or roasted that starts life as a batter. It later became associated with dessert and became an ubiquitous term for desserts as well due to the number of sweet puddings such as spotted dick, sticky toffee pudding and jam rolly polly.

deaaerts

Cheers

Yes they never mention having their bits cut off and put by their face ( i have often wounded if the hanging it to make it erect first )

Ray Jennings - Nothing, just another form of execution. However, this did not always work too well as it is, so I understand, quite difficult to get horses to pull against each other.

From the diary of Samuel Pepys. Saturday 13 October 1660 To my Lord’s in the morning, where I met with Captain Cuttance, but my Lord not being up I went out to Charing Cross, to see Major-general Harrison hanged, drawn, and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition. He was presently cut down, and his head and heart shown to the people, at which there was great shouts of joy. It is said, that he said that he was sure to come shortly at the right hand of Christ to judge them that now had judged him; and that his wife do expect his coming again.

**George Davie* ~Loved the way you described the whole 'drawing-and-quartering', etc, process...and then launched *directly* into the tutorial on how to properly approach a 'Sunday Roast' [ "...the body parts sent to the four corners of England...the roast dinner you just put gravy over everything..." ({; D ....!!! ]

Haha, thanks!! -E

Ah bah, ouais; t'as raison quoi ({; D ...!

Glad you had an adventure too! -E

@@kydeanderic thanks! In April I'm spending 2 weeks in Germany with excursions into Netherlands and Czechia. Especially looking forward to Saxon Switzerland in east Germany. Awesome looking place.

Nobody in England or anywhere else holds the fork like that. He misunderstood the "rules". :)

They did Sort of do something like that already a little. At the end of their RTW, Round The World trip they did a number of years ago, in between getting back home and moving to Japan, they did a cross-country road trip from Virginia to Oregon. This was still near the beginning of their vlogging careers, so they didn't vlog All of it like they do now, but they Did make a few videos out of it. I believe they're at the very end of the RTW playlist if you want to check it out :)

But I agree, I would Love to see them do a Big cross-country road trip, vlogging it in the style and to the extent that they do now =D

Nice!!! Enjoy your trip, congrats on the marriage!

Don't spend a week in London. The UK has 65 million people spread over 100, 000 sq miles. London is 8 million people spread over a tiny area. There's a whole lot of the UK to see without focusing on London. Base yourself in a different city (big cities like Manchester, or a small historic city like York) and visit the wild and rural areas of the UK from there. So much more to the UK than London. Ironically, London is the least British place in the UK (in terms of where you would find British people and British culture).

I hear you. I do. My favorite part of our last trip was a day trip to Eastbourne to walk part of the South Downs Way. Even with train problems and coming down with a cold that day. We're staying in London and take day trips because it's cheapest to fly into and out of London. I'm flying out of Charlotte, North Carolina and not New York or Boston, so my flights are pretty expensive. Travelocity flight + hotel packages are the only way I can afford to get to England. With those you have to stay in one place the whole time. My fiance doesn't make enough money to travel, so I have to save enough for the both of us. It takes about 2 years to save enough for a one week trip (we aren't campers and he refuses to try airbnb). I'd love to be able to drive to the rural areas. It's my favorite part, but we stick to public transportation because figuring out how to safely drive on the other side of the road seems like it would be stressful. I go on vacation to de-stress.

Have you looked at the prices of *actual* B&B places, rather than airbnb places, around here, compared to London? The difference can be phenomenal. If you land at Heathrow, each terminal has its own station on the Picadilly line of the Underground network. That line also has a station at King's Cross (surface) railway station, which is the arse end of the East Coast Main Line up to Lincoln, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh. York, as shown in this video and many others, has reasons to visit. It also has a bus at half past nine on a Sunday morning that goes out to Grassington in Wharfedale, so you can get up there on public transport and see "God's Own Country," then get the bus back at 1555 the next Sunday. That bus goes within 5 minutes' walk of my house. Let me know in advance and (unless I'm away) I'll meet it and lend you a tent and two roll-mats. Up the Dales, you can pretty much camp anywhere that nobody will notice you are or were there, so it's very cheap indeed if you don't mind not having a shower. Also there are campsites with facilities that aren't too expensive. A few names from around Grassington for you to put into an image search: Malham Cove Janet's Foss Gordale Scar Littondale Oughtershaw Yockenthwaite Kilnsey Crag Coniston Dib Kettlewell Buckden Bolton Abbey Strid Wood Simon's Seat Hebden Just a little further west, accessible by hiking from Malham over Fountains Fell or by train from Leeds, is Horton-in-Ribblesdale, which is the main base town for the Three Peaks hike: Penn-y-Ghent, Ribblehead Viaduct, Whernside, Chapel-le-Dale, Ingleborough Hill and back, 23 km total. I've done it in 9h 50m with photography stops. Just west from there is Ingleton, where one stream from each side of Whernside comes down in a series of falls. You can walk up the River Twiss via Thornton Force (picnic behind the curtain of water in good weather), across the tail of Whernside and down the River Doe, or even use those as entrance and exit routes for the Three Peaks if you're ambitious. In between Malham and Ingleton is Settle, and from there you can get a bus north to Hawes. Hawes has a railway station but it's not in use. There are things to see and do around Hawes: www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attractions-g504001-Activities-Hawes_Yorkshire_Dales_National_Park_North_Yorkshire_England.html One other thing you can do from Hawes is head north to Thwaite and up to Keld and maybe up onto the moor top to visit the Tan Hill Inn, which has some pretty good panoramic views. Downriver from Hawes: Aysgarth Falls and Castle Bolton. Downriver from Thwaite: the Grinton Bridge Hotel is friendly, very reasonably priced, clean, warm, dog-friendly and well-catered, and north of it is Arkengarthdale. I'll just link my own photographs from Arkengarthdale: i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn9/Sableagle/Yorkshire%20Dales/P5160137%20Arkle%20Beck%20sunset_zpsghvhlc1o.jpg i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn9/Sableagle/Yorkshire%20Dales/P5160122%20Arkle%20Beck%20cropped_zps0wdgo2w1.jpg i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn9/Sableagle/Yorkshire%20Dales/P5160010%20Langthwaite_zpscgpn0trd.jpg Just two cautionary notes: 1) It can get cold and wet here at any time of year. Right now? Drought and heatwave and you need to carry sunscreen and plentiful water, but it can snow on you in June. 2) If you do visit Bolton Abbey and Strid Wood, *do not go into the water* up there. It's a pretty little river up at Yockenthwaite and it's still just a river down through Buckden, Kettlewell, Conistone, Grassington, Burnsall and Barden, down to the old stone bridge where the Dales Way crosses it. About 1km below that bridge there's a right-angle bend and from there it's just a river again. Part of that 1km, though, is 100% fatal to anyone who falls in, so don't.

@@kydeanderic I just want to say that we did go to York on a day trip from London on our Honeymoon. I had a bone tumor in my foot which made it a challenge to say the least but we enjoyed it immensely. I got a rose flavored hot chocolate at the Cocoa House that was to die for. We didn't get to Skipton but I have talked my husband into going back in a few years and actually renting a car, so hopefully we can make that happen and see some of the Yorkshire Dales.

I guess we are just ignorant hicks.

Haha, thanks!

That's ok, comments on our videos make youtube drive more traffic to us! Maybe we do things wrong on purpose! Hahahahaha. (I wish we were that clever.)

The queen puts cream first then the jam i believe that is a southern thing. Us northerners go jam then cream lol

Lol debating, queuing, eating cholesterol any are fine haha

YEa, its neat there! Certainly go if you can. -E

deadly 0101 best fish and chips in York

Paul Abercrombie that true

Yeah, the whole thing says "Valerie's pastry shop". In French.

Started out as a little very upmarket shop in London. Got taken over and turned into a chain/franchise. They're everywhere now and not nearly so special. If you're ever back in London, try Maison Berteaux in Greek Street. The food is amazing (try the cheese and bacon croissants among the savouries but get there early), and as it's run by French people they're rude to their customers as only the French can be! :-D Sadly, someone should have told you about Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate and York. If you're in these towns you shouldn't go anywhere else for an afternoon tea.

@@halcroj Bet you didn't see that coming lol

The OG!

New York name nothing to do with York, named after Duke of York, i used to think what you think, bloody ggogle!

emchardy1: That's right. James Stuart, Duke of York, who became King James II of England and Ireland, and VII of Scotland in 1685.

netrodoxly: Don't know, and so you will have to ask either James Stuart, Duke of York, or his brother and predecesor Charles II, King of England, Ireland and Scotland because it were he who, in 1664, had appointed his brother proprietor of the former territory of New Amsterdam, which the English had recently seized from the Dutch.

hetrodoxly: Who did you ask? Charles or James? If James then he will have said not named so for him as James but so for him as being Duke of York. However, Jamestown, in Virginia, was named so for Charles' and James' paternal grandfather, King James I of England and Ireland, and VI of Scotland. Incidentally, there's more than one York: a host of them in the United States alone, and one other in England. There's also three places in England named New York.

Kyde and Eric Also the person being executed was the person who paid the executioner and the more you paid the quicker you died.

People are hanged, meat is hung. The guts were drawn and sometimes griddled whilst the victim was alive . The whole process was intended as an object lesson to warn any potential imitators.

Some people are hung, Ooer!

Hope not Hate Hung : VERB past and past participle of hang, my Oxford dictionary must be wrong then. Sorry😈

"~gate" is a street leading out of town. If you look at Leeds city centre, you can see Kirkgate and Eastgate to the east, which were the easterly exit and the exit via the church, Vicar Lane connecting to the vicarage, the Headrow, which was the contouring street across the top of the town, Westgate, the westerly exit, Bishopgate St where presumably the bishop had a place by the river (there's a ruined abbey there) and places beyond them called things like Chorley Lane. That was the country lane leading to the {ley / lei / lee / leigh} waterside meadow of some dude called Chor. Zoom out a little and you'll see Bramley, Burnley and Headingley, the waterside meadows of Bram, Burn and Head's {ing} people.

In the case of York the term 'Gate' is derived from Old Norse and can mean any old street just as it does today in Scandinavia.

We just started posting our series from Scotland this week, and there will be tons coming from up North. We also have a couple of videos from Isle of Man we recently posted! -E

Awesome! I can't wait to watch them :) Also York at nightime especially on the weekends can get a bit crazy as you saw, unfortunately at least one or two people die a year in the river because they get drunk and jump in!

was no point bothering anyway with that sunday roast. they would of been better off going to a carvery.

Even English people are having trouble with that now.
