As a result of a couple of accidents I am constantly even with physio and pain killers in pain, 24/7. When I watch Vanessa and see that smile, sometimes that pain goes away.
This young lady is a real tonic. I am a VERY old man, but I just love to see her posts, keep them coming and make us all a touch happier, Best wishes always. Terry.
Hi, so, Yorkshire pudding is made from the same batter as pancakes. I sometimes use a sweet pancake mix, serve them hot with a scoop of ice-cream inside as dessert.
Was amazed by you owning a mug let alone the way you held it, had you down as a refined bone China cup and saucer type of girl 😉 preconceptions blown away 😀
It's lovely to hear you describing these small things that are so much parts of British life and that on the whole we take totally for granted because they are so familiar. Interesting too to learn or be reminded about the differences between the UK and Austria in these respects. It's not that we wouldn't expect there to be lots of differences, just that most of us may not previously have known what they are. In fairness you should probably now do a video telling of the Austrian things you miss or which you feel are better than their British equivalents if such equivalents exist.
This young lady is every mothers dream of what her future daughter in law would be like, she is just so lovable you just couldn't help but take to her in a big way.
If you watch videos about the Rugby ref Nigel Owens you'll see the attitude of the players, even when things get nasty is only moments away from being respectful again. A strong trait in Rugby players around the world. Glad to see another vid again.
Your delivery and presentation compliment your thoughtful comments. I can only say thank you very much. Non-Brits can seem to consider our native food as dull. I'm sure they're misinformed. If it's cooked badly then I'd agree. A lot goes back to WW2, when US soldiers here encountered the same restrictions, rationing and shortages my parents and Grandparents had. The food appeared bad. I don't blame them, but ships weren't bringing hot dogs and such-like for most of the War because other needs were much greater. But we're into everything these days. Vive la difference.
Not sure I agree with the afternoon tea business. We do drink loads of tea during the day but the cut sandwiches, tea and cakes in the afternoon must be something the posh toffs do over here. I know some people like to go to a posh hotel for afternoon tea & cakes for a special occasion. I don’t know anyone who actually does that at home. Nice vid! 😀
Good to see your gorgeous face again. Growing up in the 70s/80s, dinner was a hot meal either at school or at home between 12 and 1pm, 'tea time' was after school about 4pm, sandwiches, piece of cake, cup of tea watching kids TV. Different now with many parents/carers both working.
as ever, good fun ! thank you. if you want another uniquely British experience, and as you live in London, get yourself down to the Royal Albert Hall and promenade at the proms.... utterly fantastic!!
Yorkshire Pudding can be sweet. One makes a large Yorkshire Pudding in a large tin, usually a roasting tin. When the batter is poured intothe roasting tin, various soft fruits are added and allowed to cook within the mixture in the oven. Gooseberries, Raspberries, Blackcurrants Blackberries and Rhubarb all work well, but not Strawberies, which are too soft to survive the cooking . Serve hot with some form of sweetener, Honey, Golden Syrup, brown sugar Some people add single cream poured on top. Known as "Drop Pudding" or " -----Drop" where the blank is the name of the fruit. If one is really desperate and no fruit is available, jam can be served with Yorkshire Pudding as a dessert.
Hey Vanessa Nice to see a vid from you. Couple of fyi's. Digestives biscuits were as you thought developed to aid digestion after a meal and were sold as such until the advertising rules got tighter and they no longer could claim such. My nan used to do a big batch of Yorkshires and eat any cold ones with jam!
My rowing team at school in the North of Manchester was pretty terrible. Had something to do with the fact that you just cant get a good speed up on the local park lake! They're also a bit of a bugger to turn, lol. Nah! "Rowing teams" only happen at the main Uni's - Oxford, Cambridge etc and posh schools near a big (straight) river. Same goes for 'Pymm's' really...posh folks drink, though you do look that type to be honest love. Can seriously picture you on the banks of the Thames, expensive summer dress, large floppy hat, Pymm's in hand, cheering on the rich kids at the Henley Regatta! lol. ;-)
In the North it was once customary to eat the Yorkshire pudding first with gravy before the main course. When folks were poor and there wasn't much meat to go around, it was an effective way of filling the kids' bellies first. Then if there was any meat left, it made a cold tea.
Now my week is so complete again!! Yes I said again!! I could almost hear that remark reverberate around inside my head!!🤔 Anyways, sandwiches!! Yep I took a craving for mature cheddar and branston pickles whilst watching this and yes and that's me running out the front door rushing to the supermarket 🙃 . Great to see you back Vanessa, you know it almost feels like the joy of spring 🙄 or not!! Maybe😋
I'm from Devon - so for me, it's cream first, then jam. How I look on it is like this, when you have a piece of toast, you butter the bread first and then add the jam. So why do it differently when you have a scone. 🥰
Funny you mentioned that about rugby...my Father used to tell me was: "Football was a gentleman's game played by hooligans while rugby was a hooligan's game played by gentlemen". I've always found that true. 🤣
Nice to see you back making great videos. 1:12 - I thought everyone held their mug like that! Never by the handle, although weirdly a mug without a handle doesn't feel right - like drinking from a jam jar. Maybe it's a British thing, to do with the weather, as it's warm and cosy wrapping your hands around the warmer-than-the-air-outside mug. I don't want to blow your mind but, as Christmas approaches, the sandwich filling selections should start to include some kind of take on a xmas dinner filling!
Yayy! Our favourite Austrian Englishwoman is back again. 'Ello darlin', you alright? 😄 As a certain Mr. McCartney once put it, "would you care to sit with me, for a cup if English tea?" Pot of tea, porcelain cups, cucumber sandwiches, cakes on a stand, all on a table on the lawn of your country mansion, gazing out over your personal deer park in the summer sunshine, what what? Just something to keep us occupied until the butler serves the Pimms, of course. After all, old bean, one has to maintain one's standards, what? 😄😄 xx
Hey Vanessa, great to see you!! My life is now back to normal - I have my fun and interesting Vanaessa back...Hope all is well. Have you ever tried a Yorkshire Pudding just with runny honey?? Sounds mad but I think the taste will send you wild!! Enjoy your week end with afternoon tea or maybe have some fun after Pimms O'clock!!!

Another excellent and amusing mainly-about-food video. Just a small detail though, neeps are turnips (yellow/orange flesh, not to be confused with swedes/rutabaga, which have a creamy-white flesh and don’t taste quite the same, but both have a peppery taste when raw, when cooked and mashed (sprinkled with pepper) a softer flavour. Neeps as you mention regularly accompany mashed potato and haggis for a Burns Supper. Parsnips are a different vegetable altogether, generally quite sweet, usually roasted to accompany a roast dinner or Christmas meal. Another biscuit I like is “Jaffa Cakes” (a controversial issue haha 😉). I like digestive biscuits too (has to be McVities for me) and with tea are great, although when I drink coffee my dunking biscuit of choice tends to be a Lotus Biscoff 😋.
Swedes, or swedish turnips, are the turnips of Scotland and Cornwall. In England, turnips are the peppery, white fleshed root, with green/purple/white skin.
Swedes are orange in England, Turnips are white fleshed. Whenever I've had tatties and neeps in Scotland they've served me what I would know as potato and swede.
Sandwich suggestion, a North East one. Ham and Pease pudding Sandwich. Pease pudding contains butter, onion, egg, salt, black pepper, carrot and split peas. It's yellow in colour and tastes amazing with cooked, roast ham in a bun or scottie (North East bread). It's healthy too.
Sunday roast is the best,I cook the beef the day before and slice it and once cooled put it in the fridge,next day when preparing the Yorkshire pudding n roast tatties etc I place the sliced beef in a pan with gravy and slowly heat it up for as long as the rest of the food takes too cook,it makes it more melt in the mouth.oh and always use a bit of the beef when it's cold on a sandwich,its flavour is soo different to when it's hot.youre gorgeous aswell just don't eat me as I'm a bit chuck lol,take care n enjoy.much respect fae Scotland.
Alternating between the two?? That’s risky. Do the wrong thing in Devon or Cornwall you might start a war!! And completely agree with the Sunday roast. As an Italian i never expected how great they are.
Conversely, things I experienced for the first time at an Austrian wedding: - Almost continuous food service from 3pm to 3am - A mountain of small cakes - The Best Man kidnapping the Bride half way through the evening and an expedition to "rescue" her from another hotel - The Bride's uncle standing up and singing half way through dinner Probably plenty more if I think about it!
Digestive biscuits make the perfect base for cheesecakes ... 300g crushed digestive , 85g melted butter , 1 x large tablespoon runny honey , mix to the consistency and look of damp sand , then press into the cheesecake tin to form your base, any type of digestive can be used , my favourite is milk chocolate
Great to hear your reactions to us Brits. I feel quite strongly, that y'ought to do a reaction to the 'The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' imho, you seem to be directly channeling 'Lady Tottinghton'
The good thing about Digestives is that you can't go wrong with them no matter what brand you buy, name or supermarket's own, they're all good. Versatile too, have you tried them a good Cheddar and pickle yet? Delicious!🧀😋
PLAIN (dark) chocolate Digestives are best. The jam/ cream scone debate originates from the Devon v Cornwall issue where in Devon they spread the Clotted cream first but in Cornwall they spread the jam first ; STILL a pretty contentious issue !
Have you ever tried a jacket potato ? Preferably a King Edward. Cook it in the oven (not a microwave). They are delicious. Try them with tuna and mayonnaise, or cheese and baked beans, or just butter.
Food *is* a very important social glue and also a source of bonding with people from other cultures - whenever we got a new member on the team, who was from elsewhere, it was only once we hauled them out to dinner and had a long talk about food that they 'clicked' into place :D.
Jam on scones first because you can spread the jam then put a blob of cream on the top but you can't really spread cream. Of course, if you were eating them super properly you would put some jam and cream onto your tea plate, break off a piece of scone with your fingers (break 'bread' - do not cut) then put a little jam and cream on that piece and straight into your mouth. :-)
Have you ever dipped your digestive in tea? There's a skill involved. It has to be submerged for the correct amount of time. Otherwise it will be bearly wet or too wet & drop off into the tea.
Hi stranger missed ur videos. Glad u ok. Good to see u bk. But now u made me hungry for a roast dinner. Now I know what I havin for dinner tonight and it only Friday 😂😂❤️❤️
Ah yes Yorkshire puds. Many moons ago I went to a army friends house for the weekend as we were both stationed in North Yorkshire but I lived in the south east so getting home no car at the time was a long time by train or coach when you got there said hello it was time to go back. Anyway puds yes well for Sunday we went to one of his Grand parents he went alternative Grands on alternative weekends he was home. OK I'd hand puds before the useal English puds. But it the town I was in and the area it was done in a completely different way. The puds were different too. They were made in an onpe flat try the edge was crispy but not that high the base was soft on the top but firm at the bottom. Now to history this area had a lot of coal mines and Mills in the old days so pay was low and you only worked at the boss or foreman pleasure so some famerlys were on low food starvation was common. Now the fact that puds are easy to make and the ingredients handy it was served as a starter. Now hears the big difference it was served with jam on it like a pice of bread with the heavy Ness of the puds mixture and the jam to sweeten it up you did not really notes the small Portion of the dinner well maybe with your eyes but not your stomach. It was served first with tea so it settled down before you got the roast part . It was to me strange way to do it but it worked I found I did not miss the lager Roast dinners that I was used to also I learned a lot from Granny as the and now I like to cook
The jam first/ cream first debate depends on whether you are having Devon or Cornwall cream tea. Digestives were introduced as a digestive aid from chemists originally!
It’s obviously jam first, it’s easily spreadable and then dollop cream to your liking. If you put cream first how are you meant to spread the jam! It’s basic science peeps
Great video Vanessa, I love all the same things (except Rowing ZZZzzzzz) prefer watching football. Oh and I put the jam on scones first only because it's easier.
my mate's mum always greets people with "hello, my love", when she went for a holiday in the States however she apologised to a lady on the couch that they was travelling in, with the "....my love" and the butch lady replied angrily with "MY NAMES JULIE AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT", me & my mum thought that was hilarious
Actual full afternoon tea is something I genuinely think more foreign tourists have had than brits lol. I never have, don’t know anyone who has, working class brits aren’t gonna spend money on that when there’s pubs lol.
Clotted cream is thicker than jam and therefore goes on the scone first. Whipped cream is softer than jam and therefore goes on top of the jam.............
Good vid, and on point all topics. Re scones, cream first, it's more viscous so holds the runnier jam in place. Imho, sorry Cornwall. Re Pimms, I've never tried it. From its look though i've always thought of it as just an English rip off of sangria :)
Well mi'duck, some good experiences there.....try yorkshire pudding with golden syrup (as a pudding)....and surprised that you haven't yet experienced 4 seasons in a day...re the rugby there is a saying that the difference between football and rugby is that "football is a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans - whereas rugby is a game for hooligans, played by gentlemen."
It’s jam first then cream on a scone but I prefer butter as I have never liked cream. Neeps is swede, I had haggis (it was soaked in whisky it burnt my mouth) up in Edinburgh a number of years ago, I have since had haggis again without the whisky.
Lovely vid. Digestives were originally created to help digestion but they became an accompaniment to tea. There was brilliant 'commercial campaign I think in the 70's with members of Monty Python. 'Digestive...Suggestive, Cor blimey...wink wink' or something like that. Staffordshire ref terms of endearment 'Lov, ducks, me ducks'.
As a result of a couple of accidents I am constantly even with physio and pain killers in pain, 24/7. When I watch Vanessa and see that smile, sometimes that pain goes away.

You were right about digestive biscuits, they were invented by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion. Neeps are turnips not parsnips.
Neeps are "swedes" if you are English In Scotland, what the English call a swede is called a turnip.
Alternating between the two?? That’s risky. Do the wrong thing in Devon or Cornwall you might start a war!!
And completely agree with the Sunday roast. As an Italian i never expected how great they are.

But it the town I was in and the area it was done in a completely different way. The puds were different too. They were made in an onpe flat try the edge was crispy but not that high the base was soft on the top but firm at the bottom. Now to history this area had a lot of coal mines and Mills in the old days so pay was low and you only worked at the boss or foreman pleasure so some famerlys were on low food starvation was common. Now the fact that puds are easy to make and the ingredients handy it was served as a starter. Now hears the big difference it was served with jam on it like a pice of bread with the heavy Ness of the puds mixture and the jam to sweeten it up you did not really notes the small Portion of the dinner well maybe with your eyes but not your stomach. It was served first with tea so it settled down before you got the roast part . It was to me strange way to do it but it worked I found I did not miss the lager Roast dinners that I was used to also I learned a lot from Granny as the and now I like to cook
I think jam is easier first followed by clotted cream. Just had my homemade sandwiches, egg mayonnaise, tomato and chives.
The jam first/ cream first debate depends on whether you are having Devon or Cornwall cream tea.
Digestives were introduced as a digestive aid from chemists originally!
Unless you come from Devon or Cornwall, you can put the jam and cream on the scone in whatever order you want!
Very funny video, PET ✅😂✅
Try jam and cream on ya Sunday roast then u will be the mad British eccentric 😂🇬🇧😂
Slurping tea from a flower pot ?? GOOD GIRL !!!!!
cream on one half, jam on the other then you can mix & match who goes on top :)
It’s obviously jam first, it’s easily spreadable and then dollop cream to your liking. If you put cream first how are you meant to spread the jam! It’s basic science peeps
No the cream is the butter and holds the jam in place 🤪
Great video Vanessa, I love all the same things (except Rowing ZZZzzzzz) prefer watching football. Oh and I put the jam on scones first only because it's easier.
M&S Best Ever Prawn Sandwich - total bliss!
You should try the South especially Oklahoma if you like terms of endearment. There are no strangers in the South.
There needs to be a Piper at a Burns night dinner, the haggis HAS to be "piped in!
I'm from Devon and it's always cream first, it act's like butter then strawberry jam.. Yummy...
Fun fact, that's exactly what digestives were traditional for
Cream or jam ,a source of tension between Devon and Cornwall....good post chuck ( Merseyside version of luv...) ...off for some afternoon tea....E
my mate's mum always greets people with "hello, my love", when she went for a holiday in the States however she apologised to a lady on the couch that they was travelling in, with the "....my love" and the butch lady replied angrily with "MY NAMES JULIE AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT", me & my mum thought that was hilarious
Actual full afternoon tea is something I genuinely think more foreign tourists have had than brits lol. I never have, don’t know anyone who has, working class brits aren’t gonna spend money on that when there’s pubs lol.
I enjoyed this video and I wondered if you had ever tried warm susage rolls in flaky pasty (my favourite snack).
"7a.m. in the morning" hehe. I love it when people say it that way. As opposed to 7a.m. in the evening ? :)
Afternoon tea is the best..
Try steak pudding also know as rag pudding best with chips and gravy may need to come up north for for it. 👍🇬🇧🏴🤠
Cold Yorkshire pudding with marmalade for tea.
Clotted cream is thicker than jam and therefore goes on the scone first. Whipped cream is softer than jam and therefore goes on top of the jam.............
Good vid, and on point all topics. Re scones, cream first, it's more viscous so holds the runnier jam in place. Imho, sorry Cornwall. Re Pimms, I've never tried it. From its look though i've always thought of it as just an English rip off of sangria :)
Butter first, then jam, clotted cream on top 😊
@@notch7139 Butter first, goes without saying, but i'll stick with cream then jam :)
@@jfergs.3302 Great both ways 😀
Well mi'duck, some good experiences there.....try yorkshire pudding with golden syrup (as a pudding)....and surprised that you haven't yet experienced 4 seasons in a day...re the rugby there is a saying that the difference between football and rugby is that "football is a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans - whereas rugby is a game for hooligans, played by gentlemen."
It’s jam first then cream on a scone but I prefer butter as I have never liked cream. Neeps is swede, I had haggis (it was soaked in whisky it burnt my mouth) up in Edinburgh a number of years ago, I have since had haggis again without the whisky.
Lovely vid. Digestives were originally created to help digestion but they became an accompaniment to tea. There was brilliant 'commercial campaign I think in the 70's with members of Monty Python. 'Digestive...Suggestive, Cor blimey...wink wink' or something like that. Staffordshire ref terms of endearment 'Lov, ducks, me ducks'.
Hi Vanessa I enjoyed this and the Lee Evans, I hope I wasn't to blame for suggesting you watched the Bristol boy? 🤞😘
Try Yorkshire pudding with jam or ice cream, lush...
