As a brit with an old school buddy that lives in Texas that I visit twice a year I love bringing this stuff over for his teenage daughters to try, and I love trying anything new. You got the pronounciation of Mcvities right on the first try mac vit ees. And biscuit dunking is an art form just as the biscuit is sagging but not falling into the cup. This video made a nice change , thanks.
Being from the UK I'm so happy you like our snacks, Tunnock's Caramel are the best - and my favourite - you should try their Tea Cakes if you get the chance.
Tinternet reckons the American Curly Wurly was called a Marathon, not to be confussed with the British Marathon bar that which was a renamed Snickers bar. Digestives smeared with butter, then add cheese - really good with strong cheese like Stilton. Water biscuits are a hard thin cracker to go with cheese. Glad you enjoyed them. If you have any of the crisps left, try them as the filling of a sandwich.
Thumbs up for the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Biscuits! I buy a packet once a week for a treat. They remind me of school in the 1980's. I hope you enjoyed them
We do have snacks and foodie items here in the states that are all natural as well. You just have to avoid buying your crisps/chips/sweets from the gas/petrol station Dr Chris. ;)
Hi Chris, I enjoyed your partaking of the British snacks. Because I am required to keep my weight to just slightly lower than that of a draft horse, I am severely limited in the number of snacks I am allowed. It was more fun, watching you eat and discuss the snacks, than for me to go through the binge/guilt thing I go through when I dig into a bag of goodies.
Major Kudos from the get go for the Commodore T-Shirt dude. I was a VERY late departee from the Amiga Scene (Still got an AmigaONE XE in the loft). [Edit] I noticed the A4000 straight off the bat but Holeee sheeet.. An A3000T to your right. Subscribed just off that alone.
I remember the candy bar like the Curly Wurly in the US from a long time ago, they were called Marathon bars. Nice to know they exist somewhere in the world!
A good vid Dr Chris.. Some nice downtime from those Amiga Repairs 👍🏻 The Rapeseed is Rapeseed Oil. Due to a certain conflict going on, Sunflower oil went into shortage. So a lot of the Crisp Manufacturers ended up having to find alternatives to fry there potatoes in. Rapeseed oil was one of them 😉 In the U.K and Europe, all ingredients have to be shown on packaging, including Fat content etc… The British Cadbury chocolate also has better milk and sugar. Fun fact.. Snickers bars used be called Marathon until the name change to snickers..
Research seed oils, they are really bad for you. The ONLY good oils are Coconut, Avacado, and last Olive oil. All the others you should stay far away from. I only recently learned this and realized how much big food is ruining health.
The local Publix has a small (very) British section and I have been subjecting some of them to my granddaughter to them. So far she has loved everything.
Yes, unlike 'America' they don't do the dozen variations of corn in foods (corn syrups and other things). The chemicals in the U.S. snacks are keeping our insides preserved, I just never read the ingredient list on U.S. foods.
Having lived in the US for 23 years now, I miss some of the snacks from the UK. Walkers is owned by Lays so I think it's weird I cant get Cheese and Onion here. At my local Walmart in FL I can buy Digestives. My wife can't even say their name without wanting to gag (she's odd sometimes)
One thing I know - is the UK may well be the kings of the universe when it comes to potato chips and varieties and flavours. Our chocolate stands up well, and well - if you visit, a good sunday roast, a good fish and chips, and a good english breakfast - are all things to check out.
Chris, You should try the McVities Digestives with either Milk or Dark chocolate on the top. McVities is pronounced "Mc" as we all say, "Vit" as in Jit and "ies" as in eze. You said it right the first time. Yes we have them in Australia. Great video and takes me back to the visits to the UK. The food there is awesome
Sounds like you're having paper for breakfast. I seem to remember someone testing if there was more nutrients in the box than the contents for some cereals. You should try Norwegian chocolate if you get the chance - typically very light and using milk and often much different to UK/EU flavours.
Not 'English'. McVitie's Digestives were invented by Scots and Tunnock is a Scottish company. I'm glad you enjoyed their caramel wafer so much. They're one of my favourites.
Crackers are nice with butter and a slice of cheese on top and the Digestive biscuits were first made in 1839 by two Scottish doctors to help digestion and are pronounced Mc Vit is (Scottish) you can also get them with chocolate on top even better. great fun video now all you need now is some Yorkshire Tea.
Why do Americans have floating teabags in their cups on a bit of string 😂 you put a teabag in the cup then add boiling water, then add milk if you wish and stir, squash the teabag against the cup for more flavour then take it out, then add sugar if you wish and stir sugar
We have the 100 grand bar you mentioned (or very similar) in the UK called a "Lion bar".... The ingredients in your breakfast bars sound like the contents of a science kit :D
Those Andy Capp hot fries are counterfeit. Andy Capp would NEVER use the word 'fries'! He's a proper northerner from the north east of England. He would only ever say the word 'chips' to describe such a product. (And yes, American fries and British chips are made in similar ways using basically the same ingredients but they are two totally different things) we do have fries in Britain too, but we differentiate between fries and chips. They don't taste the same, our chips are not the same as steak cut fries either, especially chip shop chips. If you go to a chip shop or a fish restaurant at the seaside etc you will get British chips. Nice fat, thick cut, slightly soft but crispy, lightly coloured, accompanying fish or a pie or sausage in batter with mushy peas or curry sauce, whereas with fries you would expect to get them from burger places, pizza shops, and other takeaway places. You would never get fries with fish or a pie, nor get chips if you were to buy a burger. Even frozen ones are labelled as fries or chips depending on variety. So, all this said, the REAL Andy Capp would be very disappointed his image was being used on such a product. Flo will be round with her rolling pin on his behalf, forthwith.
Here's a British joke Man goes to his doctor and said every time I drink a mug of tea I get a pain in my eye Doctor replies have you thought about taking the spoon out of your mug?😂😂🎉
Yes, used to do that, too (seems to be an American thing, maybe Jesus did it). Was told to immediately stop it after I moved to Europe. And u know what? Tea does taste better now 😂
"will create seven videos per week for food" :) Now to find chocolate eggs locally and figure out how to smuggle them to colonies without customs breaking them.
Gee Chris try the mini cheddar floating in tomato soup and you insult the Scottish as tunnocks is produced in Scotland. Just kidding hope you enjoyed your feast.
Please don't stick your pinkie out when drinking. It's not being 'polite' - it's showing that you're available tonight!!! 🤣 Potatoes didn't save Ireland from famine - the lack of them caused the famine!
Read the ingredients on the Walkers Ready Salted crisps........ its just potatoes, oil, and salt lol.......... I think!?? If Im wrong then thats the ingredients in our McDonalds fries!..... Either way, USA ingredients are sooooo bad!!........ Probs cus u have to pay for your healthcare whereas ours is free lol !!
I am not qualified in electronics but definitely qualified in food! I am British and my wife is from where Jesus lives, like your good self. Totally spot on with the whole Mars confectionary differences, I do find three musketeers to be denser and more chocolately/malty. Tunnock's bars are over a century old and very much a traditional Scottish chocolate bar, the caramel uses loads of condensed milk, a real 'meaty' chewy bar. Tunnock's tea cakes are also iconic. You may have noticed with Walkers Crisps snacks the distinct very same logo as on your own 'Lays' snack foods....and that is because frito-lay/pepsico has owned them since 1989. Rapeseed oil is our term for canola oil. Not really any major differences betwen lays and walkers potato chips other than the flavourings, and that is much the case in mainland Europe too, where they primarily use the 'lays' branding and have differing flavourings for differing markets. I do think the amount of variety of potato chip (crisps) flavourings we have here in the UK takes some beating though. Digestive biscuits was originally made in the 1800s by doctors to aid digestion, believed to have antacid properties. The semi-sweet biscuit is made by many brands including own store brands, but none as far as we are concerned taste as good as McVities. Many brands taste less wheaty and too sweet. They are the ultimate dunking biscuit for sure in hot english breakfast tea (assam/ceylon blend) or coffee. We both really detest Hershey's chocolate, and most certainly my chocolate bar consumption on trips to Jesus land dips immensely. If you have a chance to try our Nestle Kit Kat it tastes totally different to the Hershey's nasty counterpart....wafer and chocolate.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Just found your channel. Are you in Penna? I'm British (dual American) and have been around the factory in Penna plus the theme park when I was younger as my family live in Reading (not to be confused with the UK Reading, which I live pretty close to as well LOL). When I was younger I used to love the smell of the factory, but doubt I'd feel the same way now, my uncle used to send us over boxes of Hershey's including the Kisses. I cannot stand the taste of Hershey's now, tastebuds have matured 😂. Glad you liked and appreciated our healthier snacks ☺
as a British man im proud of our food you cannot put garbage in our food because we have the highest food standards in the world and if government went soft on it they would be ousted faster than my wife drops her knickers.
Chris you might live in Jesus country but if Jesus ate the stuff you call chocolate in your country he'd spit it out and turn to Satanism. To think I came here for Amiga but ended up enjoying watching you try new treats 🤗
Jesus doesn't live anywhere, and I wouldn't eat any of that. This American used to eat that stuff but learned better. If I cannot pronounce something, I don't eat it. A great way to live.
A bit of butter on those Digestive - yes they were made to aid digestion, a bit like corn flakes were made to stop yanks pulling their planks 😅

It's nice to see you doing some fun content Doc!
No-one takes any notice of 'sharing bag' instructions. 😆
You: "I've got the digestives, guess I'll dunk it in strong tea."
The entirety of England: "finally!" *does the dance of joy*
A Tunnocks wafer is a Scots classic. Can't fault 'em.
A digestive biscuit goes very well with a slice of cheese

Marathon Bar in America. Been gone since about 1981. RE: Curly Wurly.
This was hilarious Chris. Never thought I'd see you enjoying the bold Tunnock's Caramel Wafer. 😁😁 More food reviews, please. 👍👍👍👍

Green used to be cheese and onion,blue used to be vinegar.red plain(ready salted)
The Curly Worlys were the Marathon bars here in the US
awesome things! wish we still had them, but glad we dont, im fat enough !
Andy Capp has a range of crisps?
What!?
i thought the same lol htf did geordie andy capp get over to the states n make crisps lol
Rapeseed = Canola aka Can-adian Oil. -Mark. Canadian Oil or Canola Oil sounds better than Rapeseed Oil I guess. -Mark.

Am glad you like our stuff.
You can't beat a Tunnock's Caramel Wafers, with a cup of
rosey lee!
Take the bag out! Only needs to be in for 1-2 mins or it starts to taste 'stewed'
Yes, used to do that, too (seems to be an American thing, maybe Jesus did it). Was told to immediately stop it after I moved to Europe. And u know what? Tea does taste better now 😂
No way. Jesus left his tea
Bags in.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration of course he did, since he’s Murrican 😎
@Chris have you had ketchup chips? You can only get them here in Canada.
Yeah we have them and yuk! Hahahaa guac chips are awesome

The inability to correctly pronounce Leicester used to be (in fiction) how the British identified escaped German POW in WW2.
Wait till Chris finds out there is a Dark chocolate version of the Tunnock Wafer bar (and yes they are amazing too).
Aero bars are made from natural ingreenients.
SCNR
Canola is the genetically modified version of the rapeseed plant, I believe.
Enjoy... would be interesting to see or hear what the family thought of them too. If there was any left :-)
I can say they enjoyed them all.. The cheese curls were gone the first day. I hid a few so i could enjoy them later.
i fail at commenting...
"will create seven videos per week for food" :)
Now to find chocolate eggs locally and figure out how to smuggle them to colonies without customs breaking them.
Chris, rapeseed oil is the same as Canola oil
But does it beat Dutch Stroopwafels? 😀😉

our marathon bars became snickers to align with the USA....I think
They sure did
and then shrunk too !!
