Thanks for visiting The Corner Shop! I love your review. I opened the shop 14 years ago next month and try very hard to keep the prices reasonable and our fellow expats happy 😀😀
I really enjoyed this video. I am from the UK and I recommend trying a cheese and onion crisp and salad cream sandwich. An effective restorative after returning home from the pub.
The prices for the British goods here in the Chicsgo area are pretty much the same. sometimes, World Market has some items for a little less. I can hardly wait for you to go back to the UK !🎉 I would love to see you go to some of the more remote places like Shetland or Ise of Man if possible with doggie 🐕
As someone said Mint with lamb, salad cream is a more acidic version of mayo I much prefer the sharpness I find mayo too much like cream not for me xx Brandon pickle in a sandwich with ham or cheese lovely xx Heinz beans are not good anymore much prefer supermarket own brands and they are way cheaper xx
Hello. Soreen should really be toasted & dripping in butter. There are a few different flavours of Soreen too like apple & a banana one amongst others.
I just found your channel three and a half hours ago. I have literally sat in the kitchen cooking, and playing video after video of your experiences in the UK. This has been the most entertaining channel I’ve seen in ages and I quickly subscribed. Thank you both for sharing so much.
The way you described the Soreen sounds just like it is here in the UK. It is chewy, malty and sweet with a stickiness to it so it sticks to your teeth.
I love your videos, you are such a warm, friendly couple and I am so happy that you are coming back to the UK again - will look out for more videos from this side of the pond! Gary x
Make sure to follow really carefully the procedure for getting a british pet health certificate before taking Dogo to the UK - I don't think the UK accepts US Pet health passports and if any of the documents are filled out incorrectly, the pet can end up in quarantine for up to 4 months.
I didn't even know you could bring a dog right in without quarantine nno mattee what papers you have, especially from the US then to France before coming here.
Hi guys, someone else may have already commented on this…Violet Crumble is Australian (as you mentioned), the other similar chocolate bar you were talking about which they have in the UK is the Crunchie Bar, which you filmed in the UK Corner Store 😊 - both are chocolate coated honeycomb which I don’t think is common in the US when I’ve been there. Also, would love to see you guys do a vlog on the Aussie Bakery place as an Aussie myself would love to see it and should try the sausage rolls! I know you’re in the UK again now and you’ve done Gregg’s but ours are slightly differ as made with beef not pork usually in Aus. Great video, I’m currently in the UK so found it super interesting with the comparisons too. Thanks!
I'm from the UK, but I lived in Italy for a while. It's such a cliché, but the one thing I had to have from home was teabags. Other tea just isn't the same. I also missed bacon - proper thick cut smoked back bacon. But I just had to do without.
As a lucky American to have the honor of living in Cambridge, grocery shopping was interesting. We used Tesco, Sainsburys and the coop. They were all local. We bussed it one day to supertesco was closest to Walmart than the others. I was floored when I saw that the checkers were sitting. I agree it can't be that hard to do,why can't they do it in the u.s... very interesting to say the least. Ummm I saw the mcvitties digestive tasty stuff.
I use the Co-op when desperate as it's only down the road but I find their prices are extortionate. I do have a Co-op loyalty card which gives a bit of discount on their own brand things. Don't know if you've ever tried them but having been sadly disappointed by all other pies from Tesco, Sainsbury etc. I chanced a Co-op Chicken and ham pie when it was on special offer and was surprised how good it was. Have since had the steak one and just as good. Pastry's lovely and there's actually a good amount of meat in them unlike all the others including Pukka Pies.
But Lancashire tea is very good. I don't know how widely available it is, but here in Cheshire (or what I still insist is Cheshire, whatever the government says) it certainly is. If there were a Cheshire tea, I'd drink that, but there isn't, so we stick to Lancashire tea.
These same British foods are available at Walmart in Canada . Digestive biscuits are $4:49 ... I much prefer driving to Buffalo NY and shopping at Wegmans or Walmart USA
When coming to the UK again, try finding the discount shops such as home bargains, jack Fulton's, herons, bargain madness etc. If you wish to buy a Gaul of pot noodles, chocolate bars, snacks etc at prices way under what you will pay in places like Tesco etc then I would recommend searching out these places. For example chicolate hobnobs are 69p in home bargains . Most chocolate bars are between half and 2 thirds the price of supermarket prices, which goes for must products. Pot noodles are also about 69p on average in these places I would recommend you buy yourself a huge amount of stuff, and pay postage to send it to yourself back home, and you can then pick up from your local post office when you return home. Even with postage you would be saving a lot of money on UK supermarket prices. You will be saving even more money on the US UK food prices!
I experienced this back in the 90s, I was a serviceman's wife and we shopped at the Naafi when we lived overseas - the Naafi is excellent but at the time there were a few things we couldn't buy... from memory they were British Bread, Tea Bags, clotted cream and cheddar cheese. We used to give our families a shopping list of things to bring over when they visit. Of course we loved seeing our families, but we also couldn't wait to get our hands on the treats from home.
Same here for many years! I suppose the bread was British in one way as Naafi always made its own, certainly still in the mid to late 80s. Prior to that, it had its own industrial scale bakery in Krefeld but then withdrew to the UK (Wiltshire I believe) and distributed it to all European NAAFIs. I'm trying to recall one thing we always asked visitors to bring, but can't bring anything to mind. However it was incredibly good to be able to buy things like Atora suet right off the shelf wherever you were in the world. And I think the brand of bread in Hong Kong was from the local Garden Bakery?
Same here my dad was in the army so I was born into the life of moving every couple of years or so. I miss those days of shopping in the Naafi and when aboard you could just live entirely on the base, with everything provided for entertainment or you could venture outside if you like.
Tbh our condiments go with whatever you want them to go with. I love salad cream with salad, chicken and pasta.. it kind of has a honey mustard vibe. As for mint sauce it goes well with lamb roast, chicken roast, peas, boiled new potatoes! Sauce up anything you like with whatever you like!!! If I was to move to a new country, I’d have to bring sage & onion Paxo stuffing mix & Bisto gravy! 😅
In U.K. We normally have mint sauce with lamb Apple sauce with pork horseradish sauce goes with beef Salad cream normally goes with a salad ( lettuce tomato cucumber ect)
My mother loved salad cream but I was well into my teens before I’d even heard of mayonnaise.. then I read somewhere that salad cream is actually a fake substitute for mayo, created during the war when sourcing eggs was a big problem. War ended, but a lot of Brits had developed a taste for salad cream, and so it’s still a thing. But pretty much anything you’d think of putting Mayo into or onto you can use salad cream.
Salad cream is good pretty much everywhere you'd use mayo. I like it with boiled eggs in a sandwich. Mint sauce - with roast lamb. I'd miss Henderson's relish, cunninghams picallili, cadbury's and galaxy chocolate, and the cheeses such as Wensleydale, white cheshire, red leicester. Soreen is supposed to be the consistency you described.
I would recommend Derbyshire and the Peak District to you. It is one of our National Parks and contains some wonderful scenery. Don't miss the Crooked Spire in my home town of Chesterfield, the inland seaside resort of Matlock Bath, Chatsworth House and park and also Bakewell where you can try a Bakewell Pudding!
I'd agree about the Peak District. The Blue John mines are very good, among other places. I'm just across the border is what I still consider Cheshire. Nearby, is Lyme Park, which is definitely worth a visit. It features in the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, as the exterior of Pemberley. There are other old houses in Cheshire too; Tatton Park, Dunham Massey, Little Moreton Hall and several others. A more recent option is Jodrell Bank radio telescope. Well worth a look if you have any interest in astronomy. It's a local landmark; visible from many miles away.
Another thumbs up for the Peak District! Nice traditionally English vibes and very friendly. Also the exact opposite of the lake district; more workaday people and you're surrounded by local people who live and work there as opposed to the retired judges and southern Nimbys that tend to populate places in the lakes. Also recommend the Cotswolds, very friendly spot. Had one of my best holidays stopping in Chadlington a few years ago.
as someone from Stoke on Trent, The Peak District is one of the best places in the UK, i think i've spent more leisure time there than anywhere else, walking, biking and wild camping around the roaches and surrounding area
Wow! Nearly £5 for a packet of biscuits! God, I'd be bankrupt if we paid that! But our prices keep going up so maybe it won't be too long before we do...🙁
If you're going back to the UK and love Cadbury, then visit the Cadbury World factory in Birmingham. Most production is elsewhere but they do make some chocolate there (plus lots of tastings around the tour!)
I'm from Norwich, great city to visit. Other nice places around us include Cromer, Cambridge, Ely, Beccles and Southwold (Southwold and Cromer are also by the beach).
Marmite is the 1 thing I couldn't live without. Salad cream, I love it on sandwiches. Mint sauce goes well with roast lamb 😋 Soreen under the grill makes it go crispy around the edges mmm.
To answer your question Cara; When I spent 18 months travelling the world in my 20’s the food I missed the most was the variety of crisps we sell here. And the meal I missed the most, the Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. That was 20 years ago though so may well be easier to find some of the stuff these days as your videos show! Albeit at a premium price
As a Brit the one thing apart from tea bags off course that I couldn't live without is birds custard power or tinned ambrosia custard or rice pudding 😋
Is there some strange law in America that things like Mr Kipling Apple Pies plus others have to be kept in a fridge as there just out on a shelf in UK shops
I fully expected the ‘British Store’ to be outrageously expensive, but it really wasn’t. Can’t believe you’ve never had a Double Decker! 😍😍😍 $13 for the Mini Eggs Easter egg though, yikes!
I've just returned from Tesco. They had the same Mini Eggs Easter egg for £3. Or the smallest Mini Egg Easter egg for £1. It was also available with a mug for £5.
You have Border biscuits (cookies) these are absolutely a must with a nice cup of tea! I thoroughly recommend. I love your channel and thanks for all the content on British customs and foods.
The violet crumble is the equivalent to the UK’s crunchie. I’m a Brit living here in the US and I miss all the Gregg’s foods, but the one product I miss is their walker flavor crisps. Also Campbells pork and beans is the closet thing to Heinz I buy here without breaking the bank lol
Iceland started selling frozen Greggs pasties a while back. If you cook them right, they can taste almost the same as from the shop. I think they do Chicken Bake, Steak Bake and Sausage, Bean and Cheese Bakes.
4:00 mint sauce is traditionally served with lamb. As you know, a Sunday Roast or Sunday Lunch is a big thing in the UK. Depending on what meat you use, you would use different condiments. If you're eating lamb, you would have mint sauce; if you're eating beef, you would have mustard or horseradish; if you're eating pork, you would have apple sauce; and if you're having chicken or turkey, you would have cranberry sauce.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who loves parma violets!! (they're not super well liked over here in the UK, and are often considered an "old person's sweet"). Also, if you can make it to Birmingham on your next UK visit, that's a fairly central location for most people to get to if you were doing a meet up.
I've never seen Bachelor's beans before, I've bought their peas though. I would like Warburton's bread if I was travelling. You're correct, salad cream is poured sparingly over salad, mint sauce is served with lamb on a roast dinner although my husband eats with any roast meat.
It was interesting seeing the products in Publix. The packaging had weights in ounces with metric in brackets after, which indicates it was never made for sale in the UK. My guess is that these are products specifically made for export to the US to comply with different labelling regulations, but it could also mean that the recipes themselves are different from what we would get in the UK.
As already mentioned mint sauce goes really well with lamb but is also delicious on peas eaten with pies 😋 Being Mancunian what I missed most when I lived abroad was Vimto!
Can you please answer me this question - the Tesco store at 5:43, were you in a little town called Honiton for this? Because if so, I used to live in Honiton and lived just down the road from the store for many years! I also worked there for a period of time!
I once went to New York and of course took a small jar of Marmite with me. When I got it out to put it on my morning toast the waitress told me her grandmother who had come from Hong Kong loved it but could not get it (this was over 20 years ago). I of course gifted the Marmite to her and did without for the rest of my trip. For the rest of my stay I got the best service possible from my new best friend.
Mint sauce traditionally is with roast lamb. Delicious! Soreen is that consistency - quite claggy in the mouth. Tayto is a famous Irish crisp I believe. Double decker is the best chocolate bar from Cadbury but I’m biased haha
@@TheMagicGeekdom I’m a looong time lurker… Thought I’d reach out when that chocolate bar came up as well as mint sauce! Love your videos and both of you - Keep rocking!
Nice video ... I enjoyed that :) Whilst you are over here next time, take in some of the sights in Bath ... including the non-touristy parts ;) .... Also, Clevedon is worth a visit if only for the pier and the rocky beach. Stay well :)
I paid £3 in Tesco today for the Mini eggs Easter egg you paid $12.99 for. Yes, in the UK we spread a thin layer of butter on the bread in a sandwich. The salad cream can also be spread in a thin layer on top of the butter in your sandwich along with the fillings. ( Meats, Salad & eggs ) a substitute for mayonnaise.
Out of all Cadbury products, I actually think the Double Decker is the best. Something about that crunchy, squishy, chocolatey bar really works for me 🙂
Mint sauce is for lamb roast dinners Branston pickle can go in a sandwich and also can be used beside meats on a dinner plate. Salad cream can be used as an alternative to mayonnaise when making tuna but also can be used as a spread on a salad
Soreen does have a unique sticky consistency and in quite popular in the Manchester area, where is originated 100+ years ago. Fun Fact: Tayto invented the first flavoured crisp production process and the first seasoned crisps produced were Cheese & Onion!!! But it is great to see that there was Rice Pudding, Lemon Curd and a full range of Barry's Tea. Salad Cream was originally for salad, but these days it is mostly used in sandwiches. At one point Heinz planned to remane it Sandwich Cream but realized the error of their ways. Eventhough most kids will have made a sandwich at some point with Salad Cream as the only ingredient.
I remember when you got Smith's Crisps in a bag with a little blue twist containing the salt to sprinkle on them. I believe they made a come-back some years ago as a sort of gimmick but with the huge choice of ready salted and flavoured crips nowadays I don't think the novelty value lasted long.
Awesome video. You've chose a good way to travel to the uK.. but if your hitting London 1st.. that will be dearer than smaller towns!! There are other outlets in the UK far less costly than Tesco also. Salad Cream designed to be a side sauce for yes you guessed it... salad.. but once you get the taste for it you look for any excuse to use it.. it's more than nice on fries!! I'll think you'll love it here.. and you'll soon find the best places to shop. x
The uk definitely has its own regional variations of shops too. For example up north we have a lot off Mcolls which is owned by Morrisons and we also have a few Londis which are all owned by Tesco :)
You might already know this but until the 1990's every single village in England had a few corner shops which were exactly like this one. They have pretty much died out apart from in rural areas now but they were were everyone's mum sent them to get sweets or something she had forgotten to get.
I remember going to the corner shop when I was a kid to get my Gran's ciggies. 10 Black Cat ... lol. We still have what we describe as "corner shops" even though they're not on a corner. Usually run by Asian families who stay open all hours so probably more acurately described as convenience stores. I think most places have them situated away from the main town area as they are very handy when you don't want to get the car out for a pint of milk, etc.
I absolutely loved this video...being a brit in New York...I'm always looking for goodies from home....we have a great store The Hamlet NY, in Mount Kisco...and in Greenwich Village NYC there is Tea and Sympathy and also Myers of Keswick. So much fun watching you trying everything at the end..in the American Stores here, Stop and Shop and Wegmans has a small UK section. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your trip to Europe.
I find Malt Loaf is pretty similar to Marmite in that you either hate it or love it. I'm not a fan either haha. The consistency is how you describe in the video. Recommendations for a place to visit would deffo be Derbyshire - especially Matlock and Matlock Bath. They're full of history, super quirky and there's a Harry Potter themed shop in Matlock called Punny Dukes which is fab.
As a Brit I can confirm that we almost always have butter in sandwiches when you buy them from a shop or cafe. One exception might be the cafe where you may get away with asking for no butter when ordering, but otherwise they pretty much always come with butter as default 😅 (I personally don't have butter, but that's just because I'm not a butter-fan anway 😂)
Mint sauce is for roast lamb, or add small amounts to fresh boiled peas Branston pickle is to go with a cheese and ham sandwich, salad cream is for salads, sandwiches and sometimes used for bacon and egg Soda
Oh wow, there was Mrs Ball's Chutney in the British section at Publix. It's actually not a British product, it is South African 🇿🇦♥ So exciting when I spot SA products abroad.
Salad cream with boiled eggs and salad. It's a thick dressing. Can also be used as a dip for celery sticks or spring onions. Branston pickle, ham sandwiches, cheese sandwiches. Mint sauce with roast lamb, not too much on the side of you plate, just a little.
Welsh guy in Wales UK here just found your channel when you're in the UK definitely visit the isle of anglesey and go up to holyhead mountain and south stack light house beautiful views and loads of walks you can do .
I’m glad you visited a Publix as in my view they are the best Supermarket chain in the world. They have amazing choice, good quality, Deli counters to die for and always friendly helpful staff that like to have a laugh with you. I definitely miss them when in the US away from Florida & Georgia. Oh and they actually have cheese, something that’s not that easy to find in some other US supermarkets. I’m English living in England, when I go to other countries I buy the food of that country and give “The English Shop” a wide berth. Lastly try skipping Heinz Baked Beans and try Branston - you won’t switch back.
Branston pickle in chunky cheddar cheese sandwiches Salad cream yes on salad but some people like it on cheese on toast or with mashed hard boiled eggs mashed together and in a sandwich with cress Mint sauce we put with roast lamb dinner on the side of the plate . Apple sauce goes with roast pork dinner. Marmite is lovely on thick very hot buttered toast but spread really thinly.
*Salad cream* it takes the humble cheese salad sandwich to a whole new level!!👌 has to be white sandwich bread butterd, then cheese and salad with lots of salad cream. Walkers crisps all Washed down with a cuppa tea😋👌 x
Good video and thank you for liking and trying British food. I'm from the UK and the one thing I couldn't do without is a bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk Chocolate. There is literally nothing else in the world as nice ( including Belgian chocolate). Dont get me wrong there are much higher qualities of chocolate available but there is just something magical about Cadburys Diary milk chocolate.
Love double deckers and bo day bad boy before they thickened the noodle those beef n onion tayto I think are never heard of em and wow your Awesome x Infinite Love 💕 from UK 💝🌹
How nice to include your dog in your next visit. I’m sure they’ll love it. Good luck navigating the myriad rules and requirements for 1. Importing a dog to Europe, and 2. Moving the dog between Europe and UK😉. Make sure you’re up to date with the rules and you factor in the necessary veterinarian visits. It’ll be interesting to hear how you get on.
9:39 Why is Mr Kipling cakes in fringe. There meant to be at room temperature. In the uk you won’t find them in a fridge or a freeze they be stored the same as candy.
Salad cream is eaten with tuna fish or even better with tinned salmon. It’s something you dip a sandwich into with salad on the side. Branston pickle is eaten with cheese on a ploughman’s lunch which is a large salad with thick soft buttered bread.
I loved Soreen but haven't had it in a long time, I always used to slice it and put it in the toaster and then the butter would melt into it when you spread it on.
Your malt loaf sounds exactly how malt loaf always tastes so you’re good. Tayto crisps are Irish and unless they’re plain, no good. Picnic Bar is something I didn’t know I missed from the UK until you bought one so thanks for that 🥲
I love you are bringing the dog! A friendly tip, to bring doggie into England they need to be wormed by a vet at least 24 hours before departure, had to do this recently as we had a few weeks in france
Hiyas, thank you for sharing your video, im in the UK, salad cream can be used for a number of things including sarnies, salads, and with pasta and tuna mixed in, i prefer mayo, but my hubby prefers salad cream, i love double deckers, and the salt and vinegar discos, hope you have a great time when you come back here to the UK, take care, stay safe xx UK 🇬🇧
Mint sauce goes with lamb. Branston Pickle goes with cheese, be it together or you can make a cheese & pickle sandwich, hard sliced cheese. But can be done with soft cheese/onion type sandwich filling. Salad cream is well, you put it on salads, some may use it as a covering over chips (fries), something to dip in, breadsticks and if you want to use it as a starter for some dip by adding something else to it. Salad cream can also be used with boiled eggs if you want a salad cream egg mayo type sandwich filling but you use salad cream than mayo.
Great video - very interesting seeing what British products they have in the US. I am Canadian and have been to the UK many times and love it there. We have quite a few places that sell British products but the prices are high - I can’t bring myself to pay that much as I know what it costs in the UK. Sometimes I do treat myself to Branston Pickle, Wensleydale Cheese, PG Tips Tea and Galaxy Minstrels! Btw, we don’t put butter on a sandwich either - mayo or mustard or both.
From a Brit in the NW of England, Double Deckers - manna from heaven. Try Soreen toasted with butter. It's meant to be squidgy and cloying but fresh it's delicious. You were ripped off ok the mini eggs Easter egg. You can normally buy them in any supermarket here for £1 or £1.50. Paying over $10 for one 😱! Love the videos. Love that you like some British stuff more than American stuff and appreciate the differences. Keep the videos coming.
I'm Canadian, and I would miss my maple syrup. My husband is English and wishes it was easier to find Scots porridge oats, which are finer than quick oats, and Lyle's golden syrup, which he likes on his porridge.
Yorkshire puddings banter is all perpes flour ,eggs and milk .my auntie made Yorkshire puddings when we went one Christmas, AND I have some cookery books and some of the recipes,in American teams. We took crunchy to a America. Take care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍

Tina. Does your shop have an online site?
Mint sauce is traditionally meant to be served with a lamb roast dinner but I love it drizzled all over any sort of roast dinner 🤤
Same I love mint sauce!!!!
Me too.
The jelly isn't good though, my mum makes her own amazing mint sauce with mint form the garden.
Mint sauce is fine on veggies with lots of meat
I have mint sauce on top of my gravy with all Sunday roasts. I also put it on cold beef butties.
The British sense of humour would be hard to live without.
I really enjoyed this video. I am from the UK and I recommend trying a cheese and onion crisp and salad cream sandwich. An effective restorative after returning home from the pub.
Mint sauce - with Lamb. Salad cream - on salads, in sandwiches and I personally love it on boiled potatoes or mixed through mashed potatoes.
Oh that sounds good. Thanks!
The prices for the British goods here in the Chicsgo area are pretty much the same. sometimes, World Market has some items for a little less.

Don’t forget salad cream on chips 😊
Only just found The Magic Geekdom and I'm hooked, watched most of the videos now and love these two cute Americans.
A Brit here, yeah, the Soreen malt loaf is usually squishy and dense. Makes for a lovely "elevenses" mid morning snack 😊
Yeah! It has to be squidgy
I love Soreen im buying some tomorrow now you have said that haha...
Ok so it wasn't just that it was frozen. 😂
Hello. Soreen should really be toasted & dripping in butter. There are a few different flavours of Soreen too like apple & a banana one amongst others.
Also worth trying it with butter and some (extra) mature cheddar cheese on:)
I just found your channel three and a half hours ago. I have literally sat in the kitchen cooking, and playing video after video of your experiences in the UK. This has been the most entertaining channel I’ve seen in ages and I quickly subscribed. Thank you both for sharing so much.
I did the same thing. ❤
The way you described the Soreen sounds just like it is here in the UK. It is chewy, malty and sweet with a stickiness to it so it sticks to your teeth.
Yeah, I think it traveled better than the Double Decker.
Got to have butter on it for a tasty snack.
I was thinking if it would go with custard??
The chocolate orange mini bars during Halloween are the best 🤤😋
Try toasting soreen u be pleasantly surprised by taste crunchy with chewy centre
Mint sauce is for lamb but it also goes surprisingly well with mushy peas !
also in pea soup
Essential on hot poek pie and mushy peas. Mmmmm
The one thing I would miss living outside the UK is crumbly white cheese. Cheshire, Lancashire, Caerphilly, Wensleydale, etc.
Sounds good. Definitely going to try Wensleydale when we head back.
Use salad cream instead of mayo. Pickle instead of relish.
Wensleydale and fruit cake together! Lushki!!
We're heading to Hawes this week. To the creamery 👍

Italian food is great but their breakfast is non existent, can't beat the UK for a breakfast!
As a lucky American to have the honor of living in Cambridge, grocery shopping was interesting. We used Tesco, Sainsburys and the coop. They were all local.

Yorkshire Tea... life just isn't the same without it
Good tea for sure. However, Barry's from Ireland is a good brew too.
That seems to be a popular response!
Yes Yorkshire Tea. On trains going to the North on Yorkshire Day you get a free sachet of Yorkshire Tea.
Yorkshire tea is banned in Lancashire.
But Lancashire tea is very good. I don't know how widely available it is, but here in Cheshire (or what I still insist is Cheshire, whatever the government says) it certainly is. If there were a Cheshire tea, I'd drink that, but there isn't, so we stick to Lancashire tea.
These same British foods are available at Walmart in Canada . Digestive biscuits are $4:49 ... I much prefer driving to Buffalo NY and shopping at Wegmans or Walmart USA
I'm a Brit. I don't think I have ever made a sandwich without buttering the bread first.
Brit here too and usually butter bread for any sandwich except a Bacon or Sausage one as I like the bread to soak up the fat.
Here here
When I was in the hospital in Canada the kitchen didn’t butter the bread in sandwiches needless to say the sandwiches were gross.
When coming to the UK again, try finding the discount shops such as home bargains, jack Fulton's, herons, bargain madness etc. If you wish to buy a Gaul of pot noodles, chocolate bars, snacks etc at prices way under what you will pay in places like Tesco etc then I would recommend searching out these places. For example chicolate hobnobs are 69p in home bargains . Most chocolate bars are between half and 2 thirds the price of supermarket prices, which goes for must products. Pot noodles are also about 69p on average in these places
I would recommend you buy yourself a huge amount of stuff, and pay postage to send it to yourself back home, and you can then pick up from your local post office when you return home. Even with postage you would be saving a lot of money on UK supermarket prices. You will be saving even more money on the US UK food prices!
I experienced this back in the 90s, I was a serviceman's wife and we shopped at the Naafi when we lived overseas - the Naafi is excellent but at the time there were a few things we couldn't buy... from memory they were British Bread, Tea Bags, clotted cream and cheddar cheese. We used to give our families a shopping list of things to bring over when they visit. Of course we loved seeing our families, but we also couldn't wait to get our hands on the treats from home.
Same here for many years! I suppose the bread was British in one way as Naafi always made its own, certainly still in the mid to late 80s. Prior to that, it had its own industrial scale bakery in Krefeld but then withdrew to the UK (Wiltshire I believe) and distributed it to all European NAAFIs. I'm trying to recall one thing we always asked visitors to bring, but can't bring anything to mind. However it was incredibly good to be able to buy things like Atora suet right off the shelf wherever you were in the world. And I think the brand of bread in Hong Kong was from the local Garden Bakery?
dad was in the army and we lived in Germany for quite a few years and loved shopping at the NAAFI...:)
Same here my dad was in the army so I was born into the life of moving every couple of years or so. I miss those days of shopping in the Naafi and when aboard you could just live entirely on the base, with everything provided for entertainment or you could venture outside if you like.
Tbh our condiments go with whatever you want them to go with. I love salad cream with salad, chicken and pasta.. it kind of has a honey mustard vibe. As for mint sauce it goes well with lamb roast, chicken roast, peas, boiled new potatoes! Sauce up anything you like with whatever you like!!! If I was to move to a new country, I’d have to bring sage & onion Paxo stuffing mix & Bisto gravy! 😅
In U.K. We normally have mint sauce with lamb Apple sauce with pork horseradish sauce goes with beef Salad cream normally goes with a salad ( lettuce tomato cucumber ect)
Oh, ok. Thanks!
My mother loved salad cream but I was well into my teens before I’d even heard of mayonnaise.. then I read somewhere that salad cream is actually a fake substitute for mayo, created during the war when sourcing eggs was a big problem. War ended, but a lot of Brits had developed a taste for salad cream, and so it’s still a thing. But pretty much anything you’d think of putting Mayo into or onto you can use salad cream.
I have it with. Christmas dinner .. lol and cranberry sauce.. that’s what happens even you are not all English or american! Lol
Thank you for the video!
Salad cream is good pretty much everywhere you'd use mayo. I like it with boiled eggs in a sandwich. Mint sauce - with roast lamb. I'd miss Henderson's relish, cunninghams picallili, cadbury's and galaxy chocolate, and the cheeses such as Wensleydale, white cheshire, red leicester. Soreen is supposed to be the consistency you described.
Salad Cream is vile. I never could stand the stuff. Yes, I'm British.
Salad cream on pasta is a complete meal in my house.
Salad cream in egg and onion sandwiches, is the only time I personally eat it, but everyone always eats our home made sandwiches
If anyone knows, is salad cream like "Miracle Whip" ? That we get here in Canada (US has it too)
Hi at 3:30 the equivalent to violet crumble here in uk is crunchie , my favourite 😉
I would recommend Derbyshire and the Peak District to you. It is one of our National Parks and contains some wonderful scenery. Don't miss the Crooked Spire in my home town of Chesterfield, the inland seaside resort of Matlock Bath, Chatsworth House and park and also Bakewell where you can try a Bakewell Pudding!
I'd agree about the Peak District. The Blue John mines are very good, among other places. I'm just across the border is what I still consider Cheshire. Nearby, is Lyme Park, which is definitely worth a visit. It features in the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, as the exterior of Pemberley. There are other old houses in Cheshire too; Tatton Park, Dunham Massey, Little Moreton Hall and several others. A more recent option is Jodrell Bank radio telescope. Well worth a look if you have any interest in astronomy. It's a local landmark; visible from many miles away.
Another thumbs up for the Peak District! Nice traditionally English vibes and very friendly. Also the exact opposite of the lake district; more workaday people and you're surrounded by local people who live and work there as opposed to the retired judges and southern Nimbys that tend to populate places in the lakes.
Also recommend the Cotswolds, very friendly spot. Had one of my best holidays stopping in Chadlington a few years ago.
as someone from Stoke on Trent, The Peak District is one of the best places in the UK, i think i've spent more leisure time there than anywhere else, walking, biking and wild camping around the roaches and surrounding area
Wow! Nearly £5 for a packet of biscuits! God, I'd be bankrupt if we paid that! But our prices keep going up so maybe it won't be too long before we do...🙁
If you're going back to the UK and love Cadbury, then visit the Cadbury World factory in Birmingham. Most production is elsewhere but they do make some chocolate there (plus lots of tastings around the tour!)
You also need to try a balti if you come to Birmingham. They are the best
You will enjoy cadburys world iv been
Cadbury’s died early 2000s the chocolates are inedible now after recipes changing
I loved your video. I smiled all the way through! ❤
I'm from Norwich, great city to visit. Other nice places around us include Cromer, Cambridge, Ely, Beccles and Southwold (Southwold and Cromer are also by the beach).
I love cromer ❤
I normally toast my Soreen and add butter. Yummy. That British shop had great products and reasonable prices for overseas. Great find
Marmite is the 1 thing I couldn't live without. Salad cream, I love it on sandwiches. Mint sauce goes well with roast lamb 😋 Soreen under the grill makes it go crispy around the edges mmm.
Marmite?; the perfect way to describe Marmite is that it stinks of Satan's excrement and vomit combined with the stench of a decomposing corpse.
I've never thought to grill soreen. Amazing.
To answer your question Cara;
When I spent 18 months travelling the world in my 20’s the food I missed the most was the variety of crisps we sell here.
And the meal I missed the most, the Sunday Roast with all the trimmings.
That was 20 years ago though so may well be easier to find some of the stuff these days as your videos show! Albeit at a premium price
As a Brit the one thing apart from tea bags off course that I couldn't live without is birds custard power or tinned ambrosia custard or rice pudding 😋
Is there some strange law in America that things like Mr Kipling Apple Pies plus others have to be kept in a fridge as there just out on a shelf in UK shops
I fully expected the ‘British Store’ to be outrageously expensive, but it really wasn’t.
Can’t believe you’ve never had a Double Decker! 😍😍😍
$13 for the Mini Eggs Easter egg though, yikes!
That egg was easily 4-5 times what they cost over here in Blighty.
I've just returned from Tesco. They had the same Mini Eggs Easter egg for £3. Or the smallest Mini Egg Easter egg for £1. It was also available with a mug for £5.
You have Border biscuits (cookies) these are absolutely a must with a nice cup of tea! I thoroughly recommend. I love your channel and thanks for all the content on British customs and foods.
The violet crumble is the equivalent to the UK’s crunchie. I’m a Brit living here in the US and I miss all the Gregg’s foods, but the one product I miss is their walker flavor crisps. Also Campbells pork and beans is the closet thing to Heinz I buy here without breaking the bank lol
Iceland started selling frozen Greggs pasties a while back. If you cook them right, they can taste almost the same as from the shop. I think they do Chicken Bake, Steak Bake and Sausage, Bean and Cheese Bakes.
4:00 mint sauce is traditionally served with lamb. As you know, a Sunday Roast or Sunday Lunch is a big thing in the UK. Depending on what meat you use, you would use different condiments.
If you're eating lamb, you would have mint sauce;
if you're eating beef, you would have mustard or horseradish;
if you're eating pork, you would have apple sauce; and
if you're having chicken or turkey, you would have cranberry sauce.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who loves parma violets!! (they're not super well liked over here in the UK, and are often considered an "old person's sweet").
Also, if you can make it to Birmingham on your next UK visit, that's a fairly central location for most people to get to if you were doing a meet up.
Given that you see them in most shops, I'd say that they are fairly popular.
The giant Parma violets are the best! There's a milkshake place near to me that does Parma violet milkshake nom nom
I've never seen Bachelor's beans before, I've bought their peas though. I would like Warburton's bread if I was travelling. You're correct, salad cream is poured sparingly over salad, mint sauce is served with lamb on a roast dinner although my husband eats with any roast meat.
It was interesting seeing the products in Publix. The packaging had weights in ounces with metric in brackets after, which indicates it was never made for sale in the UK. My guess is that these are products specifically made for export to the US to comply with different labelling regulations, but it could also mean that the recipes themselves are different from what we would get in the UK.
Loving your channel...Ive officially subscribed! Greetings from the UK
As already mentioned mint sauce goes really well with lamb but is also delicious on peas eaten with pies 😋
Being Mancunian what I missed most when I lived abroad was Vimto!
Yes, a dash of mint sauce in mushy peas works well as a combination.
Can you please answer me this question - the Tesco store at 5:43, were you in a little town called Honiton for this? Because if so, I used to live in Honiton and lived just down the road from the store for many years! I also worked there for a period of time!
In truly British fashion, I couldn't live without Marmite if I was abroad - it's a must have!
I agree.
I once went to New York and of course took a small jar of Marmite with me. When I got it out to put it on my morning toast the waitress told me her grandmother who had come from Hong Kong loved it but could not get it (this was over 20 years ago). I of course gifted the Marmite to her and did without for the rest of my trip. For the rest of my stay I got the best service possible from my new best friend.
3:06 hahaha yeah they ARE the (as we Brits say) 'squashed fly biscuits' lol
Mint sauce traditionally is with roast lamb. Delicious! Soreen is that consistency - quite claggy in the mouth. Tayto is a famous Irish crisp I believe. Double decker is the best chocolate bar from Cadbury but I’m biased haha
Thanks for the info! We did enjoy the Double Decker. I'm surprised we don't see them more often here in the US.
@@TheMagicGeekdom I’m a looong time lurker… Thought I’d reach out when that chocolate bar came up as well as mint sauce! Love your videos and both of you - Keep rocking!
I thought it'd be the Wispa...
I remember the campaign to get them back on sale in Ireland after they'd stopped being available.
Try soreen with a bit of butter & strawberry or raspberry jam delious a cup of tea suits as well.
Nice video ... I enjoyed that :) Whilst you are over here next time, take in some of the sights in Bath ... including the non-touristy parts ;) .... Also, Clevedon is worth a visit if only for the pier and the rocky beach. Stay well :)
I paid £3 in Tesco today for the Mini eggs Easter egg you paid $12.99 for.
Yes, in the UK we spread a thin layer of butter on the bread in a sandwich. The salad cream can also be spread in a thin layer on top of the butter in your sandwich along with the fillings. ( Meats, Salad & eggs ) a substitute for mayonnaise.
I love this video. It's fascinating. Keep up the good work.
Out of all Cadbury products, I actually think the Double Decker is the best. Something about that crunchy, squishy, chocolatey bar really works for me 🙂
Good choice. It’s not cadburys but have you tried a lion bar. They’re my favourite chocolate bar of all time
Try them warmed in the microwave 😍 almost like an instant smore!
@@kernowpiski810Never thought of before but I'm trying this next time.
Mint sauce is for lamb roast dinners
Branston pickle can go in a sandwich and also can be used beside meats on a dinner plate. Salad cream can be used as an alternative to mayonnaise when making tuna but also can be used as a spread on a salad
Soreen does have a unique sticky consistency and in quite popular in the Manchester area, where is originated 100+ years ago.
Fun Fact: Tayto invented the first flavoured crisp production process and the first seasoned crisps produced were Cheese & Onion!!!
But it is great to see that there was Rice Pudding, Lemon Curd and a full range of Barry's Tea.
Salad Cream was originally for salad, but these days it is mostly used in sandwiches. At one point Heinz planned to remane it Sandwich Cream but realized the error of their ways. Eventhough most kids will have made a sandwich at some point with Salad Cream as the only ingredient.
I just had a salad cream sandwich yesterday I'm 50 and been eating it my whole life I love it
I remember when you got Smith's Crisps in a bag with a little blue twist containing the salt to sprinkle on them. I believe they made a come-back some years ago as a sort of gimmick but with the huge choice of ready salted and flavoured crips nowadays I don't think the novelty value lasted long.
never heard of barrys tea
We still have those crisps in the UK and call them “salt n shake”
Awesome video. You've chose a good way to travel to the uK.. but if your hitting London 1st.. that will be dearer than smaller towns!! There are other outlets in the UK far less costly than Tesco also. Salad Cream designed to be a side sauce for yes you guessed it... salad.. but once you get the taste for it you look for any excuse to use it.. it's more than nice on fries!! I'll think you'll love it here.. and you'll soon find the best places to shop. x
The uk definitely has its own regional variations of shops too. For example up north we have a lot off Mcolls which is owned by Morrisons and we also have a few Londis which are all owned by Tesco :)
Www I didn’t know this!
Also Booths the poshest supermarket chain is predominantly in the north
One Stop is owned by Tesco too
10:05 There is not a shop in my town that sells Pickled Onion walkers and I live in proper countryside England. Now I want them. Harrumph!
You might already know this but until the 1990's every single village in England had a few corner shops which were exactly like this one. They have pretty much died out apart from in rural areas now but they were were everyone's mum sent them to get sweets or something she had forgotten to get.
I remember going to the corner shop when I was a kid to get my Gran's ciggies. 10 Black Cat ... lol. We still have what we describe as "corner shops" even though they're not on a corner. Usually run by Asian families who stay open all hours so probably more acurately described as convenience stores. I think most places have them situated away from the main town area as they are very handy when you don't want to get the car out for a pint of milk, etc.
Still little corner shop were l live doing very well as well am in East Yorkshire
Corner shops everywhere where I’m from in London
I absolutely loved this video...being a brit in New York...I'm always looking for goodies from home....we have a great store The Hamlet NY, in Mount Kisco...and in Greenwich Village NYC there is Tea and Sympathy and also Myers of Keswick. So much fun watching you trying everything at the end..in the American Stores here, Stop and Shop and Wegmans has a small UK section. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your trip to Europe.
I find Malt Loaf is pretty similar to Marmite in that you either hate it or love it. I'm not a fan either haha. The consistency is how you describe in the video. Recommendations for a place to visit would deffo be Derbyshire - especially Matlock and Matlock Bath. They're full of history, super quirky and there's a Harry Potter themed shop in Matlock called Punny Dukes which is fab.
I could never live without my Yorkshire Tea it is simply the best tea I have ever tried!
As a Brit I can confirm that we almost always have butter in sandwiches when you buy them from a shop or cafe. One exception might be the cafe where you may get away with asking for no butter when ordering, but otherwise they pretty much always come with butter as default 😅 (I personally don't have butter, but that's just because I'm not a butter-fan anway 😂)
The same in Australia. Margarine or Butter
Same with me, annoying
Mint sauce is for roast lamb, or add small amounts to fresh boiled peas Branston pickle is to go with a cheese and ham sandwich, salad cream is for salads, sandwiches and sometimes used for bacon and egg Soda
Oh wow, there was Mrs Ball's Chutney in the British section at Publix. It's actually not a British product, it is South African 🇿🇦♥ So exciting when I spot SA products abroad.
What do you eat Chutney with? Always confused on that one.😊
@@karenisabellestewart851 cheeses and ham
@@karenisabellestewart851 Everything. I love my chutney. Mainly cheese and crackers and salads.
@@karenisabellestewart851 Also good with sausages! With it being Mrs Ball's, it's especially good with a South African Boerwars sausage.
Yes ☺️ South Africans do eat it with everything 🤣
Salad cream with boiled eggs and salad. It's a thick dressing. Can also be used as a dip for celery sticks or spring onions.
Branston pickle, ham sandwiches, cheese sandwiches.
Mint sauce with roast lamb, not too much on the side of you plate, just a little.
I think in the United States the closest thing we have to salad cream is Miracle Whip. I actually prefer it to mayonnaise. 😊
Me too !
🤢🤮
It does have the tangy bit that mayo doesn't have.
My husband telephoned the miracle whip people to ask if he could get it in the UK, but they said no because it had banned ingredients in it 😮
Welsh guy in Wales UK here just found your channel when you're in the UK definitely visit the isle of anglesey and go up to holyhead mountain and south stack light house beautiful views and loads of walks you can do .
I’m glad you visited a Publix as in my view they are the best Supermarket chain in the world. They have amazing choice, good quality, Deli counters to die for and always friendly helpful staff that like to have a laugh with you. I definitely miss them when in the US away from Florida & Georgia. Oh and they actually have cheese, something that’s not that easy to find in some other US supermarkets.
I’m English living in England, when I go to other countries I buy the food of that country and give “The English Shop” a wide berth. Lastly try skipping Heinz Baked Beans and try Branston - you won’t switch back.
Branston pickle in chunky cheddar cheese sandwiches
Salad cream yes on salad but some people like it on cheese on toast or with mashed hard boiled eggs mashed together and in a sandwich with cress
Mint sauce we put with roast lamb dinner on the side of the plate .
Apple sauce goes with roast pork dinner.
Marmite is lovely on thick very hot buttered toast but spread really thinly.
*Salad cream* it takes the humble cheese salad sandwich to a whole new level!!👌 has to be white sandwich bread butterd, then cheese and salad with lots of salad cream. Walkers crisps all Washed down with a cuppa tea😋👌 x
Good video and thank you for liking and trying British food. I'm from the UK and the one thing I couldn't do without is a bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk Chocolate. There is literally nothing else in the world as nice ( including Belgian chocolate). Dont get me wrong there are much higher qualities of chocolate available but there is just something magical about Cadburys Diary milk chocolate.
(Briton here) 5:57 we do have some regional supermarkets but they’re quite rare, most supermarkets are national
Mint sauce over roast lamb.
Salad cream over a played salad.
Thanks both 👍🏻
The soreen texture you describe is spot on fresh. I love it with thick butter 😊
Love double deckers and bo day bad boy before they thickened the noodle those beef n onion tayto I think are never heard of em and wow your Awesome x Infinite Love 💕 from UK 💝🌹
Hi from Wales, UK
The malt loaf should definitely be toasted. So much better still warm 💯
How nice to include your dog in your next visit. I’m sure they’ll love it.
Good luck navigating the myriad rules and requirements for 1. Importing a dog to Europe, and 2. Moving the dog between Europe and UK😉.
Make sure you’re up to date with the rules and you factor in the necessary veterinarian visits. It’ll be interesting to hear how you get on.
9:39 Why is Mr Kipling cakes in fringe. There meant to be at room temperature. In the uk you won’t find them in a fridge or a freeze they be stored the same as candy.
Fun vid 😊
Thanks for sharing
Salad cream is eaten with tuna fish or even better with tinned salmon. It’s something you dip a sandwich into with salad on the side. Branston pickle is eaten with cheese on a ploughman’s lunch which is a large salad with thick soft buttered bread.
Salad cream with mashed boiled egg to make a sandwich. It's a taste sensation. You can also add cheese to the mixture as well. Lovely.
Thanks for the tips!
Chocolate HobNobs are under £2 in the UK, not £3 like apple sauce with pork, mint sauce (often mixed with malt vinegar) goes over roast lamb.
Mint sauce with roast lamb, salad cream a bit like mayo, branston pickle in a chesse sandwich, all delicious
Just found you guys and you're both soo sweet!!! :) love from the UK! x
I loved Soreen but haven't had it in a long time, I always used to slice it and put it in the toaster and then the butter would melt into it when you spread it on.
Tayto cheese & onion crisps are amazing!
Great on sandwiches!! 😋
I live in the UK and have never seen batchlors baked beans in a UK store in my life ha ha. Great video as always guys
Your malt loaf sounds exactly how malt loaf always tastes so you’re good.
Tayto crisps are Irish and unless they’re plain, no good.
Picnic Bar is something I didn’t know I missed from the UK until you bought one so thanks for that 🥲
I love you are bringing the dog! A friendly tip, to bring doggie into England they need to be wormed by a vet at least 24 hours before departure, had to do this recently as we had a few weeks in france
Mince sauces for roast lamb, but we generally put it on any roast dinner, vegetables. Salad cream is specifically for salads as a dressing.
Hiyas, thank you for sharing your video, im in the UK, salad cream can be used for a number of things including sarnies, salads, and with pasta and tuna mixed in, i prefer mayo, but my hubby prefers salad cream, i love double deckers, and the salt and vinegar discos, hope you have a great time when you come back here to the UK, take care, stay safe xx UK 🇬🇧
Mint sauce goes with lamb.
Branston Pickle goes with cheese, be it together or you can make a cheese & pickle sandwich, hard sliced cheese. But can be done with soft cheese/onion type sandwich filling.
Salad cream is well, you put it on salads, some may use it as a covering over chips (fries), something to dip in, breadsticks and if you want to use it as a starter for some dip by adding something else to it. Salad cream can also be used with boiled eggs if you want a salad cream egg mayo type sandwich filling but you use salad cream than mayo.
Great video - very interesting seeing what British products they have in the US. I am Canadian and have been to the UK many times and love it there. We have quite a few places that sell British products but the prices are high - I can’t bring myself to pay that much as I know what it costs in the UK. Sometimes I do treat myself to Branston Pickle, Wensleydale Cheese, PG Tips Tea and Galaxy Minstrels! Btw, we don’t put butter on a sandwich either - mayo or mustard or both.
Mint sauce is generally a condiment for lamb and salad cream can be used in salad but most people put it on sandwiches.
From a Brit in the NW of England, Double Deckers - manna from heaven. Try Soreen toasted with butter. It's meant to be squidgy and cloying but fresh it's delicious. You were ripped off ok the mini eggs Easter egg. You can normally buy them in any supermarket here for £1 or £1.50. Paying over $10 for one 😱! Love the videos. Love that you like some British stuff more than American stuff and appreciate the differences. Keep the videos coming.
I'm Canadian, and I would miss my maple syrup. My husband is English and wishes it was easier to find Scots porridge oats, which are finer than quick oats, and Lyle's golden syrup, which he likes on his porridge.
Yorkshire puddings banter is all perpes flour ,eggs and milk .my auntie made Yorkshire puddings when we went one Christmas, AND I have some cookery books and some of the recipes,in American teams. We took crunchy to a America. Take care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍
Also the malt loaf sounds about right with how you described. Thats how it should be 😊
