  • Food is a big part of the cultural experience we want to give to our students. That is why we wanted them to try some typical British snacks that they probably have never even heard about, and their reactions are priceless!

    Why does no one ever explain to first time tasters of Marmite that you spread it thinly on bread and butter. It is not jam or chocolate spread, for first time users you need a light touch until you get used to the intense flavour. It's no wonder that they dislike it when it's eaten like jam, totally wrong and totally unfair.

    • @UKCougar
      @UKCougar 3 місяці тому +1

    The base of a jaffa cake will go hard when left on the side because it is a small sponge cake.

    There's also a collaboration with Marmite and peanut butter. Not My favourite. Less is best. You need to get used to it. As many put loads on and judge the taste there but UK people known Little is best, also in hot water as a bedtime drink.
    I think they've never tried
    Ribera drink not local they pour in glass and dislike the taste but you put in a glass small amount then add water to taste. By adding more water or by adding more ribera. Personal choice.
