As a British person, the person who sent this picked good snacks!!
Indeed, it was a very balanced selection that went from sweet to savoury and kids snacks to pub snacks, very well thought out! Far better than when somebody sends someone 6 types of crisps and 6 different chocolate bars.
Yes very true since other channels would of choice the least popular or most disgusting and not the one that are most known it Britain
The Soreen was a nice touch 👌
Was a good selection, and showed off some things that are very British, rather than all chocolate
Yes that was a really good selection.
Probably one of the best “quintessentially British” snack packs I’ve seen in a long while! Kudos to the sender! 👌🏻
Agreed!!! The sender did a good job! never heard of Soreen before, however. Everything else I've tried, apart from that.
Agree! Though, I was a bit surprised that there were no digestives included. I would've thought they're more quintessentially British than jammies? Eh, both are nice with a cuppa :)
fayedoodles yes, Emma definitely ticked a lot of boxes there. 🥳
They should have sent a kinder bueno as well. Those are hella popular where I live. They are so good.
@@MousTasha
Digestives always annoy me on these, you have them with tea and they never get it. Every response ever "they're too dry".
"Can we dive in?"

@@theword5318 you killed the joke, you absolute fish.
@@kokvshibo What 😂😂
This is so interesting. When you see Americans react to British snacks they never like some of the stronger flavours but thinking about it I can see why some of these would appeal to a Korean palette
It's because Americans live off processed and chemically bombarded foods so they're not used to anything that is not artificial
also, when I sent my American friend some yorkie bars (and a few other snacks), he said that Britain has a lot sweeter chocolate?
Jazuwu that’s crazy - yorkie isn’t even that sweet to me! they must think dairy milk is super sweet
@@ratgirlsuu exactly!
@@ratgirlsuu we just like our darker chocolate more. 😊
I’m proud Monster Munch was eaten the correct way.
I like biting the toes off 🤣
YES I inwardly cheered when they wore them as rings!
No idea what that is but good to know lol
Like the way we ate Burger Rings, as kids in Australia
I feel like the bit too quickly instead of letting it prickle at the tongue for a sec
Yess british fam where you at?
here
Ayyy wassup
Yoooo
Hii😊
(sneaks in as an American imposter) hehehehe
as a proud brit this is literally the only uk snack trying video i've been satisfied with, emma did you right!
minxymissy1 yucky! I don't understand the obsession with Jaffa cakes aha.
minxymissy1 hahaha
minxymissy1 ohh everybody hates marmite 😂
Attack on Pieck how very dare you
Alice I'm the embodiment of the saying "there's always one" with this one then I guess haha
monster munch gave me primary school nostalgia lol
runatube same
Monster munch is my go to crisps lmao
@Kimberly Hughes walkers came first mate
Kimberly Hughes more like lays are a rip off from walkers you guys have terrible flavours
they gave me primary obesity
The fan really thought ahead when she said "please don't cut the egg in half"
Alas the creme was baked by the hot floor so they didn't get to experience the ovilingus and the chocolate shell spreading over the outer gums, there to remain for three hours no matter how much you try to lick it off.
@@tricky778 the taste only lingers if you eat it warm
@@faye7199 I think thats what he/she are saying
@@hugegamer8004 oh yeah haha
The sweetness of this grannie literally overpowers every bad thing that has happened this year. And that's a lot
I agree, this is the best escape.
Everything is OK when watching Grandma OK.
Zoey, thanks for sharing her with us.
i agree she also brings a big smile to my face , also its refreshing seeing folks give British snacks a proper try .
There's a reason the pork scratching is natural looking... It's actually a salted and heavily cooked strip of pork skin and subcutaneous fat. It's the real thing.
I’ve been wondering what Grandma OK thinks about the massive amount of love and positive vibes she gets from everyone.
I like how you’re respectful and complimentary of the food while also comparing it to Korean foods. It helps build up familiarity so more people will want to try foods out of their comfort zone. It’s really nice to watch.
How were Jaffa Cakes not a part of this? 🤯
Very true.
This could definitely be a 3 part series.
Try the new pineapple ones
Mister Precocious I wasn't gone on the pineapple ones, prefer original or berry
If the rest of the world finds out about Jaffa cakes there won’t be enough for us Brits and we’ll end up with another toilet roll situation.
Let’s keep the Jaffa Cakes safely guarded over here, thank you.
Noooo, the cream egg went hard! It's usually much more liquid than that. Every so often you get one like that where the filling is more solid, but it's not supposed to be that solid.
Oh yeah, true! I'd never really thought about that before but you're right! 😲 I was always so disappointed when the fondant filling got all thick and grainy and air pocket-y. Runny all the way! 😂
I wondered if she'd had the chocolate in the fridge because it was hot.
This was very cute!
That being said a lot of those choices would be very controversial here, not just the marmite twiglets. (Great job on the prawn cocktail though! Best flavour!)
I hope someone sends you some more Cadbury chocolate from the UK because the ones sold abroad are usually made in different factories with different recipes and don’t taste the same. The authentic British version has more milk.
British chocolate is generally very different to American chocolate because of the higher fat/milk content as opposed to the sugar American chocolate leads with and their other inexpensive and artificial ingredients.
Cadbury british vs NZ vs Australian.....
On a serious note though, have you seen a small Cadbury's almond chocolate bar like that being sold in UK shops?
I love the way they respect the food of all countries. They don’t feel the need to down any food. Most people feel the need to act superior towards American food. They just love it all. Respect to them.
Eva W nope but I saw it in the Middle East. I think it’s supposed to be like the wholelnut version?
Victoria Goforth yeah they are very open to other food and it’s nice.
I don’t know about feeling superior toward American food but it is a fact that a lot of US food does not pass the EU’s regulations and many companies have to also change certain ingredients first before they can be sold in Europe. It’s been a big controversy in the UK about potentially importing chemically washed American chicken. When we were in the EU it was banned. The public want reassurances that our food standards won’t slip because we’ve left the strict EU.
The comparison was because American snacks had already been tried. Also, due to the Cold War and proxy wars in the Far East, Americans snacks are more widely available and/familiar.
If I say American chocolate has more sugar or artificial flavours, it’s not me looking down on it, it’s a fact. I don’t like American chocolate but I do like American snacks like cheetos and sour patch kids (your jelly sweets are better in my opinion).
Oh nooooooo, I am British and I was dreading Grandma reacting to British food because it's so bland compared to other cuisines! 😂 But you were both so nice again! Was so lovely to hear your Grandma say she feels lucky to be trying these foods, she seems to be such a cordial lady and always so grateful and happy ❤️ I can see why she has a lot of fans!
@Grimmy Grim Grim I think you'll find that "mild tasting" is in the definition of bland. It's not to say the food is bad, but the flavours are definitely not strong nor are they really very interesting.
@Grimmy Grim Grim really you seem quite vexed by the fact I simply don't find British food to be very interesting. It's an opinion, it's a preference, I love how you're trying to school me like it'll change my mind 😂 what makes a "shit taste bud"? I like meat, I just don't think it's a particularly imaginative way to add flavour to a dish, I was vegetarian for years so really I think of much more interesting things to put in cooking, not just spices either. Aromatics, herbs, alcohols, fruit seeds or peel, nuts, different types of oil or butter but to name a few (yes some of which are in British cooking I know). You must be very cultured and interesting to be giving long patronising culinary lectures to people writing innocuous comments on a light-hearted video
Grandma Ok so sweet, especially when she said that she couldn't believe that she's trying the snacks. ❤❤
Love the vids
With grandma ok being so happy eating, she just makes you want to send her food lol
Zoey providing us with entertainment once again during this quarantine 😊
brandon CHAEYOUNGGGG
We must protect this grandmother at all costs!
Grandma reminds me so much of my grandma .although mine is Lithuanian.they have the same hair style,and laugh,and mannerisms.this makes me just want to hug and kiss grandma ok ! Shes so cute.and it makes me miss my own grandma 😣 I was going to send some marzipan today to her nursing home,but I called and because of the virus,they cant take in any packages 😥 this video made me happy atleast.cherish grandmas everywhere 💕
She reminds me a lot of my great grandma before she passed. I watch these a lot when I miss her. Brings happy memeories.
Me too. She reminded me of my late paternal grandma a lot. Especially with her open-mindedness. Man, I miss my grandma now.
Aww I’m sorry you can’t send your grandma some goodies. That’s a shame! But you can go and visit when this is over, and give her lots of love xx
Lietuva 🇱🇹
'These aren't too sweet, I like that' - 5:27 - Cadbury's Creme Egg looms menacingly - 5:29
You've got to try an aero mint chocolate bar! One of the absolute best as well! I also suggest custard creams and bourbons, they're heavenly.
YESSS!! I'm the only person who eats mint aero, it's honestly making me want some now ngl
@@MINNIERAWRR Ikr, I bought some today and have saved most of it for tomorrow because I really didn't wanna lose it so quickly like I normally do 😂😢
@@weebiskey8910 I've not had it in so longgggg 😭
@@MINNIERAWRR God you need to get yourself some! 👁️👄👁️
@Icey cherries I knowwwww, you just eat it too quickly, it goes too fast 🥺😂
Soreen is great when sliced spread with a good quality real butter.
Lurpak
My favourite is the banana soreen 😍
My dad loved this combo, god bless his soul ♥️
YESSS Butter makes it 100x better
Especially when you toast it and the butter melts 🤤🤤
1:46 my poor heart . She is so sweet
Grandma is absolutely the most adorable person ever!!!
This has made me so happy! So glad you both enjoyed some British delicacies. Your grandma melts my heart. I hope you would be able to find her a creme egg before Sunday! X
I found you yesterday and I'm already crying that day I have watched all of your videos 😢😅 greetings from North-Finland 👌
Wow that’s really cool! I’ve always wanted to visit finland
Love watching Grandma enjoy some snacks and love how she picked more than 1 🤣❤️
This was a great selection of quintessential British snacks - the sender did a great job! Lots of them were classics that have been around for ages. I was worried about your Grandma's teeth on the pork scratchings though omg 😨
I love how grandma is in all of the recent videos it's soooo touching! 💖✨👵🏻
Iconic selection from Emma. When we are out of lockdown I’ll send you some more UK goodies. I love you two sooooo much. Thanks for the fun video
Also put some Jamaican Ginger cake, gingernut biscuits and shortbread in there as well.
@@peachesandcream8753 I love that cake! So good with some custard 🤤🤤
protect this grandma like at all costs when she comes to the UK ever. She’s so cute🥺🥺
Never felt prouder to be British than when grandma ok goes in for seconds
This was the sweetest reaction to British snacks I think I've ever seen.
Soreen (the malt loaf) is ok, but homemade malt loaf is just the best!! My mum used to make it, slice it thickly and then put a thick spread of butter *__* Yummmmmm
It is very interesting how Zoey’s voice changes depending on whether she is speaking English or Korean or maybe that’s just me because I cannot understand different tones in Korean
No you're right, French is a great example where a language has a certain accent to make it understandable
Koreans have Kim chi but the Brits have Pickled Eggs, Pickled Onion's Pickled Gherkin's, Branston Pickle, Piccalilli and on and on and on. Someone should send a care package of great British pickles to tempt Grandma's taste buds :)
this kind of light-hearted content is just what the world needs right now - definitely put a smile on my face.
thank you!
Grandma is always so sweet and doesn’t want to upset anyone and say that she doesn’t like something. ♥️
I want to hi 5 Emma, this is such a good range of British snacks!!! Probably the best video of this I've seen.
Rhubarb crumble with custard is a dessert here which is very good, the boiled sweets don't often have that much flavour compared to the original, especially since rhubarb is quite sour!
my heart is literally melting I want to protect this Grandma at all costs
My grandmar sadly died last year, seeing you two make videos together and smile and laugh together makes me so happy because it makes me think of the times i spent with my grandmother together
Now this is a proper snack box! Granny is too precious for this world, protect her at all costs!
She was so sweet and respectful at the end bless her. What a nice thing to say at the end :) 👍🏼
Never clicked so fast in my life.
Thank You for your supreme graciousness, Love you both - just an old British man living in the USA. (please be sure to give your lovely grandma a big hug!)
Grandma is always hungry 🤣🤣
Aren’t we all?
Now this is just about the most adorable little grandma I have ever seen. Zooey also is so cute, I just love the kind of upbent, slight crooked smile/expression on the left side of her mouth. She is cool af. I don't know what it is about Korean people, but I almost always (to this American) find them to be among the coolest, charismatic of foreigners right up there with Aussies/Kiwis. Many years ago while living in the Wash DC area (NYer now) I formed a friendship with a young Korean immigrant dude that could barely speak English (fine considering I could not speak a word of Korean and at least he started picking up English better and better) and we bonded, particularly initially, in an almost completely non verbal manner. I even got to know his family and they were the warmest, kindest of people. I was even able to tolerate his girlfriend, and he mine!!! We hung out, played video games and sports, went to clubs and movies. It remains one of the oddest of friendships I ever had and I so regret losing touch with Mike Han. It is the intelligence and wit, profound wry and satirical sense of humor while remaining totally respectful I believe. That is a rather artful way of communicating, I dig it very much. These videos are addictive too. Subscribed.
9:48 I can't! There is no channel more wholesome than this! You can't change my mind!
When this whole unemployment thing is over, I'd love to send some snacks for y'all to try!
i have really been enjoying your channel, as i only just found it tonight. watching the videos of you two together has been putting me into a great mood when ive been having a hard time. thank you
Cadbury Creme Eggs are a special spring treat, they only are sold around Easter. They remind me of my childhood, but they are WAY too sweet for me!
Depends where. Generally they're seasonal for supermarkets as they are more efficient with their ordering - but you can get them in most small shops all year round as they always buy too many. At least that's my experience.
Two very polite ladies. No one will be offended if you don't like something and say so.Its all right.
I love how the granny compliments everything for being savoury and not too sweet, then can't get enough of the creme egg which is 99% sugar
I’ve just seen this channel on my recommended for the first time and I am truly loving it this whole concept is so cute
Aww, Grandma Ok’s smile at 1:47 was so sweet she is such a wonderful open minded lady🤩🥺💕💜
I have only today come across your channel. Instant favorite. Your grandmother is adorable. Thank you for the smiles
when i saw the jammy dodgers it made me miss England ahah, im currently in Beijing so its been a while.
Hi! I"m from the UK, so I'm excited to see your gran eat our snacks
The food you called Soreen, it's called Malt Loaf, Soreen is the company that makes it. Normally they come in a much bigger form and you slice them and butter them like bread. I've never seen this smaller version before but it sounds just like the bigger one
I'm so glad your gran liked the snacks, She's usually right about things and she's right about the creme eggs!
Zoey: I wouldn’t be able to eat a whole Creme egg by myself
Me: .......... 0-0
Evie R mood 😂😂 me just sat awkwardly downing a box of 5 (it should be 6!! I’m appalled 😭😭😭)
As a Brit I am proud. Your grandma is so cool 😍
am I going insane or is the background music at 5:36 some broken version of the happy birthday tune 👀 🤯
LMFAOOO IT HAS TO BE
So glad! Thought it was just me!
Was looking for this comment before I wrote it! Glad I’m not crazy (probably still am regardless of the comment)
Love your reactions to the snacks from the UK first video I have seen of yours and your grandmother. Also love your little cheers before you eat. You speak a beautiful language ❤️ from the UK
PLEASE REACT TO EDUCATING ESSEX !!! it’s a uk show showing education in uk, which is very different from the usa and we are known for having quite bad behaviour in our public schools, which contrasts the “posh” reputation non britons believe about us 🥺
i don’t want them to be cursed with the knowledge that chavs exist 😭
runatube 😂😂 it’ll pollute their mind’s
ellie hoddinott ha ha ha. Nowhere is like Essex tbf.
Yesssssss omfg that would be so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Educating Yorkshire too lool
You are so blessed to still have your grandma. She is so sweet. Cherish her..
I'm so earlyyy love from Britain 🥰
This is the most wholesome video I have seen for ages love it and love your grandmother
I've lived in uk for almost ten years and haven't tried more than half of these... but the chocolate made me drool I'M SUPPOSED TO BE CUTTING OUT ON SUGAR 😓
I don't like sugar very much so I don't eat Cadbury a lot.
(I'm a brit)
@Hoseok is my cousins boyfriends 2nd cousins nephew South West England mate 👍🏻
Sunshine Yoongi OhTea7 if you try soreen slap some butter on her it makes it 10x better
i have eaten them all lol and i have lived here for almost 12
I grew up in the UK and I’ve never seen a Soreen bar in my life
One thing I really love about your videos is the fact that you actually describe the tastes and smells. Not all channels like this do that as much. It adds a little bit of extra flavour to your videos. (Pun intended). I'm really happy I found your channel!
I couldn't stop smiling at this, adorable!
Awww your grandma is such a sweetheart 😍 what a kind lady. She is beautiful
Grandma tries pork scratchings for the first time.
‘I’m not a fan of this’
All of the uk
We agree with you.

Ewww OMG, a lot of them still have hair on them aswell
@@jakharris6426 Awwww, but the congealed hairs and bits of pig jizum are the tastiest morsels!
FaxanaduJohn ofc
They are way too salty
They're a pub snack, don't blame society if you're eating them wrong.
Your nan is just the cutest... I’m Danish but you got some good stuff from the 🇬🇧
Cadbury's is no longer a UK chocolate. It's been Americanised since Kraft took over the brand. It's comparably bitter and dry with a brittle texture unlike the original smooth, creamy and sweet delicacy it was before.
I'm still angry about that! They've completely ruined Cadburys. The first thing they do is change the shape and reduce the cocoa solids.
@@tamsmaria7650 At least Nestle rolled back on the plastic-wrapped Kit Kats after the backlash when they did away with the foil like Philistines.. the foil is an integral part of the Kit Kat unwrapping thumbnail-scribing experience, otherwise it's just a boring wafer bar.
Kraft only changed the creme eggs. The bars are still the same.
Still the same in ireland
The reaction to the soreen filled my heart with joy. For many in smaller communities in Yorkshire and other areas it was something our grandparents ate and sometimes parents but I fell in love with it. If you put cold butter on it it becomes even more wonderful.
Bruh that ending has me crying.
I love that you’re sharing with grandma- i hope you can try more snacks around the world in the future!
I've lived in Asia for 9 years and these are the snacks I miss the most. Who ever sent these snacks deserves a knighthood haha.
Your grandma is so sweet and so open minded! You should try some of our snacks here in Scotland too. 😄 🏴 🇰🇷
Grandma OK is me...
Zoey: "Would you like one more?"
Grandma, sort of: "gimme the whole bag, beach"
I’m so happy you and your grandma make these videos. Such a sweet remedy for my quarantine blues.
I would like Grandma OK’s shirt and Zoey’s jacket. Fashion icons!
You two are awesome! You are so sweet together. Not just grandmother but also a friend. I was the same with my grandmother, and we found ourselves in trouble at least once a week. Please enjoy each other and thank you for letting us join you. Please take care!!
As a British person my personal favourite out of all of these it would have to be Jammy Dodgers 😌
Grandma ok’s adorableness is so infectious, love u guys, keep it coming you lovely ladies u🥰🥰🥰😂😂😂😂, keeps this quartine thing fun!!!!
I like when the grandma doesn’t know what to think and they play the Law and Order noise
Aww love seeing Grandma OK so grateful for the snacks!! Love her. Great vid!
Should have sent them tea to have with the biscuits. You can’t have a biscuit with out a cuppa (Barry’s Gold Label) personally. However in this case Yorkshire or PG Tips I suppose!!!☕️
Oh absolutely, I like Bahlsen biscuits or Bonne Maman with a nice Earl Grey or Lady Grey, I think Twinings is the best. Barry's, I think I had their Irish tea is it once?
That's great to watch you eat and enjoy our UK snacks, there was no hesitation even with the pork scratchings! Lovely people ❤️
You need to try barbecue flavored pork rinds.
Can someone send me some monster munch to korea please, I miss them :'(
I can sort you out after lockdown's over if you fancy
Boi give me your insta, I will plug you with as many. No one deserves to be deprived of monster munch
Oh my god this community is beautiful. My insta is Roses.in.milk ;-;
@@katymarie3003 I think I followed you?
grandma is so wholesome, you two are amazing content creators
Why do they always pick twiglets in these trying British snacks? Hardly anyone I know eats these part from my nanna 😂
True but they’re really unique so pretty interesting to try.. I actually love twiglets but still never bother buying them lol
I love them
I love twiglets, they're one of my favourite snacks. I'd pick them over a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar any day
How could Emma not send you Jaffa cakes?? You would love them! If you can you need to order these it’s THE best snack and I think your grandma would like them!
She sent you some of the most devisive items she could have thought of, Soreen, Twigletts, pickled onion monster munch..... . Your gran was so polite, alot of Brits wouldn't have given a second's thought to throwing all above in the bin unopened xD.
Pixiedust8399 my mouth is the bin 😂😂
I would chuck the soreen my wife's way and keep the rest for myself 😁
I'm British and, firstly, to my compatriot Emma: you did a GREAT job, these are exactly the snacks I would have sent! I love and respect Grandma OK so much: my absolute favourite part is the end, when she can't believe her luck to have tried British snacks. And then both Grandma OK and Zoey bow. Much respect to you both, from all of us in the UK :-)
For those that have never tried marmite/vegemite consider yourselves lucky.
No, no. You're wrong.
@@jenny2245 My favourite ad was the breastfeeding baby throwing up.
ew
@@darthslayder6904 Prob some of the best adverts in history but that doesn't take away from the fact it tastes like 3 month old grass clippings that a cow has recently defecated on with just the right amount of vinegar and the 'you mean to say that you expect to sell this as a condiment' from the advertisement company just for good measure.
@roof pizza lol!
I love your grandma! I love watching her try new things. I wish she was my grandma.
Our favorite grandma always greeting us with "haikiiiiiiiiii" makes my heart melt.
Grandma is so sweet and you are so good with her. She reminds of my Mom whom I miss so much! ❣
