Oh my goodness my mouth was watering over that corned beef bagel! It looked delicious! The fish looked really yummy too! I would love to go to London again. I haven’t been there since I was in high school. Enjoy and keep the videos coming! ❤️❤️
He kept calling it corned beef but it's not it saltbeef but yes you must try but dont go anywhere else but that place because they really are the best in London probably in the UK
@@peterolley7159 In the UK, corned beef specifically refers to the minced version, while in Canada, we refer to both versions as corned beef! The only province that seems to use the term "salt beef" is Newfoundland. That's why I kept interchanging the terms. Hard habit to break, when it's been called "corned beef" my entire life. 😂 Glad we chose the best spot though! Freakin' incredible.
Yeah, not great..😅 We typically research every where we eat, and go to best places possible. This time, we went because it was close by to our hotel (and we were in a rush)..neither the prices, nor the menu was the same as what Google had showed. 😂 We've definitely had much better, for cheaper.
@@wherearewe-yt You'd be better trying to find a good local pub out of Central London and a good street corner chippy always get the best fish n chips there never in a pub
@@martinburke362 I think we went to Masters Superfish the first time around, and it was much better than this. To make up for the overpriced drinks, we just grabbed a bunch of beer and cider from Tesco after and drank in the hotel. 😆
Thanks for watching, guys! The next London video will be a lot more interesting. We didn't get up to much the first day, so it was kind of hard to make a decent video out of it! 😂 We've got Morocco coming up after the UK as well. 😜
@@TheTravelingChefs It's an intense, but fun place! As long as you familiarize yourself with the scams to watch out for, and prepare to say a lot of "no, thank you", you'll have a great time! 😆
There are actually different kinds of sausages you'll see on menu's, the 3 main ones you'll see is the standard pork sausage which is a great all rounder and a good choice for a full English breakfast, there's also Cumberland which has more of a peppery taste, and then there's Lincolnshire which has more of a Herby taste. Cumberland is great for sausage and mash, as the pepper goes well with the mash, and Lincolnshire are great when used in a sausage casserole.
Anja lived in the UK (Edinburgh) for five years, but I (Brandon) haven't had much of the chance to try all these different types! Hopefully in future trips. I'd also like to try some proper British cheeses as well, the next go around..like Stinking Bishop.😆 I'd love to visit Cheddar as well for the same reason.
@@wherearewe-yt just visit any supermarket and head for the cheese section and you'll be spoilt for choice. Cheddar is available in mild, medium, mature, and extra mature. Double Gloucester (pronounced gloster) and red Leicester (pronounced Lester) are also very nice, you'll notice a lot of cheeses are named after where they originated. Also worth getting something called branston pickle to try with the cheese.
Cheddar is probably the most popular cheese in Canada, so I've had it all my life, but I want it from the source! Hahaha. I've heard of Branston pickle! Really want to try it. We always end up in tiny, cheap hotels (Travelodges) while we're in the UK, so we never had a kitchen or fridge while we're there. Next time we get something better equipped, we plan on doing a proper grocery haul so we can do some taste testing. There are also so many British snacks, "biscuits" and "crisps" (😂) that we've not tried. We're looking forward getting back to the UK in the future. For now, we've got a lot of other stuff coming up from all over the place!
Interesting to hear your experiences at Brixton Academy. There was a scary crushing incident where 2 people died recently. It seems many without a ticket try or succeed to get in without a ticket.
I heard! The crowd for the show we went to was nothing like that. Pretty organized and orderly queue. Didn't notice any pushing or anything even. And the queue wrapped around the whole block! Very sad for those people though. I've been in crowds at events where I could see that happening..😕
We can handle the drink pouring - but London drink prices are absolutely INSANE sometimes. I know the world has gotten more expensive, but after traveling a bit more around the UK, it's always crazy going back to London and paying £6/7 for a pint.
As a general rule of thumb, fish and chips in a chip shop has mushy peas and fish and chips in a pub has garden peas. The chips are different too. The pub chips are crisper and chip shop chips are soggier. Corned beef in UK is completely different to corned beef in North America. If you see corned beef in Uk, it’s a cheap, often tinned beef that was a war ration type thing, and imo pretty gross - like the beef equivalent of spam.
Very interesting! I (Brandon) definitely prefer fish and chips from a chip shop then. We went to a proper chippy the first time we were in London, and it was much better, from what I remember. I actually love canned corned beef as well..😂 It certainly can't compare to the salt beef we had with the bagel though. That was incredible. 🤤
Here I was thinking this was a recent video…I was at that Morrissey concert 4 months ago (I also went to the Brighton show). You had me thinking that Moz played again a few weeks ago and I somehow missed it…I panicked there for a minute 😂
Hahaha. That's awesome. You did not! Our first 9 videos or so are just behind. We filmed them all before we officially started posting them to UA-cam. No prior experience with filming or editing, so they were like an "experiment" batch. 😂 Soon the content will be closer to a month behind at a time, or (hopefully) less in the future.
2000 calories a meal?! Well, then you must be a very active bunch, because this menu stated "the average person should consume 2000 calories a day"...then of course, went on to list how almost every meal of the menu was close to that. 😂

Well, all you've gotta do is come visit us then! London is typically the cheapest flight from Halifax. It's worth the trip alone. SO GOOD!

£7-50 FOR a Cider and £15 quid for fish n chips 😂🤣😂🤣 at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask!!!

Fantastic vlogs. Thanks for sharing

Awesome video guys!! London looks amazing! ❤

I was at that pub in 2006! ❤️🇨🇦
How was it back then?? For us, it was just okay. A bit pricy for what it was, but it was super close to our hotel, so it was really convenient! 😁
I was there with a few people. We just had a drink then we left. I found the pub itself lovely. ❤️🇨🇦
@@laurag.2148 I think any pub with good beer, and good friends, sounds like an amazing time! 😄🍻

Hey, are you Brandon the CAD guy? Sure looks like you bud! Glad you enjoyed London....
CAD guy? As in Canadian? Well, I'm definitely Canadian, if that's what you mean? 😂
We absolutely love London! One of our favorite cities.

I've only seen London gloomy IRL, so it's very refreshing to look at it through your lens
We've actually had mostly decent luck when we've been! We've definitely experienced that gloomy, grey UK vibe in other cities though. 😂
I remember when the barman or barmaid poured your drink for you
We can handle the drink pouring - but London drink prices are absolutely INSANE sometimes. I know the world has gotten more expensive, but after traveling a bit more around the UK, it's always crazy going back to London and paying £6/7 for a pint.
Great, now I have to visit London only to eat the bagel 🤣😂 nice Video btw ...
Hahaha. Worth it! It was so dang good!
You need to get a cider on tap. Some of the best in the world in the UK.
We love cider on tap! Had some at the show we went to.
We also try two at a pub in Cardiff, in our next video. 🍻
Great video guys😊
Thanks, guys! Part two is a bit more interesting. We didn't get up to that much the first day. 😅
@@wherearewe-yt Beigel on the shop sign
£6 is daylight robbery.
So we've heard! We actually had a (strong) mixed drink each in the next video, and it only cost us £10 for the two!
@@wherearewe-ytget out of London I pay £3 a pint.
I always think Hammersmith Odeon has better acoustics.
We haven't been, so we can't compare! Hopefully we get to go back from another event some time soon, and are able to check out that venue as well.

The pea thing is absolute nonsense. No idea what you're talking about.

No way does every meal have 2000 calories I think you might have read kilojoules 🤣
2000 calories a meal?! Well, then you must be a very active bunch, because this menu stated "the average person should consume 2000 calories a day"...then of course, went on to list how almost every meal of the menu was close to that. 😂
Never get fish and chips in a pub , they are processed frozen foods , go to a chip shop for proper fish and chips.
So we've heard! We went to a proper chip shop the first time we were in London, and it was significantly better.
