Hey Everyone! This was one of our first experiences with English dishes, but since then we've had the pleasure of trying proper cream tea in Cornwall, a true Cornish Pasty and some fish n chips from a chippy. You can checkout those videos here ~~> ua-cam.com/play/PL29AtJe_IGx_60iW5vO_p2-Wps6wZTJB4.html Thanks for watching!
Ok the cream before the jam is the correct way to do it.... it's the Devon way but if you come from Cornwall you put the jam first then the cream lol. Oh and for the perfect full English you need to go to a lorry cafe lol
England drools. but technically most "English" dishes are British dishes, does """" me off when I see haggis, scotch pies, stovies etc called "English" because of the stupid online take away websites.
Hey, next time you’re in England, you having to try butterscotch ice cream and a Manchester tart, Eccles Cake, also steak and kidney pudding with chips and gravy!
That is an awful shame if anyone has been mocking your culture, but if it makes you feel any better, quite a lot of us in America really admire English culture. Personally, it has to be my favorite foreign culture, at least based upon what I have seen. Unfortunately, I have yet to actually travel there myself, however.
Traditional English food is delicious, especially "pub grub." Americans should never mock English food because much of what we Americans consider traditional dishes are really dishes brought originally from England. A good example is the baked roast with potatoes and carrots usually served on Sunday.
You guys really bust the myth that Americans are loud and obnoxious abroad. You are truly lovely unpretentious people and I hope you enjoyed your stay.
They are like every American i've come into contact with, gracious, interested in everything and so humble and appriciative. I spent 3 weeks in Norfolk Virginia and loved it, everyone was so nice.
Too many negative comments. I'm from Leeds (north England. Not quite as north as the Lake District), and it's nice to see people from the US trying the traditional food. Just because it isn't the absolute best iteration of the meal, doesn't take away the fact you're trying something new. I hope you had an awesome time!
most americans (not all!) seem to believe in and think what they are told by the tv to believe and think. some, thankfully, are more open-minded. they seem to think we all have bad teeth too....!
playgirlc based on what? you tube comments? things you have seen on TV? opinion vlogs? Be careful when lumping Americans because our country is very big and people are very different in ideals and opinions. Don't assume if you don't want assumptions made.
Trouble is restaurant roasts are generally no where near as good as one cooked at home! If going for a roast they should go for a carvery instead so they choose what they want, they're usually so much better. :)
As an Englishman, I thank you for these comments in the video. The traditional Sunday roast is a must try! (But make sure you go to a good traditional pub or better still, home cooked).
it might be a favourite dish, but it's not our national dish..... we're English. not Indian going by sales, it's outstripped by miles by McDonalds..... it doesn't mean McDonalds is our national dish - we're English. not American
@@blueyorks6884 Sorry man but no American says that at least not in foreign peoples faces. We do not publish constant videos (like the British do) saying that they are better than us, we do not go to the UK and start criticizing everything (like the brits do). Your resentment does not make us arrogant.
@@guayabito6946 I wish you yanks wouldnt keep calling us british, I am English and have no affiliation with Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland whatsoever, They will say the same.
@@blueyorks6884 England is part of Great Britain, now where you freel british or not, I could't care less. BTW Yankees are people who live in New England, I live in the south. So I am not even a "Yank". But contrary to you guys, I do not criticize and complain about every single thing you say or do. That is anoying and pretty pathetic.
@@jeffmorse645 they are quite simple to make. Butter, self raising flour, sugar and milk. You just got to make sure the butter and flour are like fine breadcrumbs when you start to mix. You can add sultanas or chopped glace cherries. Bake for about 12 mins at 180oC
As a English girl I found this so annoying! That cream looks dreadful, clotted cream is supposed to be a lot silkier than that! The pasty looked rubbish too. The fish and chips looked ok, but honestly, I would recommend going down to Cornwall and having proper cornish pasties, cream teas and then going to a coastal place to have fresh fish an chips. British food is much better than this!
I agree, cream teas taste better in the south west (Cornwall, Somerset, Devon), Fish & chips are better on the east coast. Pity they never tried bangers & mash made with either Lincolnshire or cumbrian sausages or the ultimate in unusual items "the Bedfordshire Clanger".
Actually, it depends on the clotted cream. I find Cornish clotted cream silkier and creamier than Devonshire clotted cream somehow. While the clotted cream in the video doesn't look very smooth and perhaps too moussey (it's whipped cream, unfortunately). I think the food in this video is a decent representation of British cuisine.
The types of food, yes. The quality, no. The cream just looked like double cream when you over beat it and it curdles! Both Devon and Cornish clotted cream are silky- and that's coming from someone who grew up on it!
There's something so voyeuristically enjoyable at watching Americans get really exited at stereotypically British meals, they find everything so quaint.
I actually find this video so sweet, you guys are so polite and into trying all the different stuff! As an English person I think that's all that matters really :)
nah pub fish n chips is better. when I was a kid my local chippy would knock out a good fish n chip supper. As I got older the quality went down though, the portions got much smaller and the prices went up too.
Bro, I remember reading that poem in primary school and for some reason it always stuck in my head, even 25 years later! So jokes seeing it as a random UA-cam comment
Most vinegar in these places isnt malt anymore. Of course you can still buy it but i believe its cheaper to use this fake malt vinegar... depends on the establishment i spose.
Ha! I'm British and the best f & c I've had was on the Gold Coast in Oz! That said I have an award-winning chippy 200 yds from my front door in SE London (but can't help thinking its all quite subjective really. Depends on how hungry you are, the emotional state you're in, weather, surroundings etc)
No you've done right, and done some of the British classic's but also the Classic Sunday Lunch is a must. I am so glad you've manage to get further a field than just typically gone to just London, and you've gone further North and The Lake District is lovely. I hope you've inspired others to get to see more of Britain than just the Capitol.
Taking it to the Limit British food in London can easily reach 3 times the price in some areas XD It's a good thing they've gone further afield and at local establishments :)
The Pastie was originally made for miners. they would eat it but throw away the crust as it would get covered in grime. one half would be filled with meat etc and half with a sweet/dessert
that pasty crust was all wrong looked so dry and more like a pie crust than a pasty crust come down to Devon and you will find proper pasties not this northern (pie obsessed) peoples version. To me its a sin.
That's the English way: self depreciation, taking the piss out of yourself is an art form. Unfortunately it passes most other nationalities by as genuine disdain or animosity ("bashing") when the vast majority of time it isn't.
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your experience at Cowan Bridge Tea Room and enjoyed your lakes freshly whipped double cream on your home made scone. We welcome your very kind comments and appreciate the time you have given to create this article.
That's the Cornish way. Devon does it cream then jam. Both claim to have invented cream tea, but I think, as of right now, it's looking like Devon has a claim from around 1000 years ago. It's quite a battle.
England is a beautiful country. As an American it's really nice to see that not everyone thinks Americans are horrible, even though sometimes we are. I love shepherds' pie. And scones, and more scones and more scones.
I eat pasties regularly, not when I'm on a diet though. I do a fry up every week (with baked beans!) with black pudding when I can find it. (Clotted!) cream teas are a treat if I take my parents out at summertime. Fish and chips and shepherds pie are staples my Mum used to make/buy most weeks when I was growing up and I still eat both now. In terms of realism this really is very good, but needless to say on this diet I got well over 20 stone.
They make them in America too. There were large numbers of Welsh miners who moved to the Upper Penneusila of Michigan to mine iron. They have pastay shops there.
Try roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. There's nothing more traditional than that and don't forget to add the gravy and horseradish sauce!
British food is wonderfully delicious!! We toured England, Scotland and Wales to see all the home land of all our relatives. It was a heavenly two weeks. We felt right at home with the Brits and their foods. In addition to the delicious fish and chips, we loved the full British breakfast. For the evening meals, we were served roast beef, roast turkey and ham with broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and of course potatoes. We especially enjoyed meeting the British people. They were so kind and gracious with lovely manners. Brits have said that unfortunately, some Americans were loud and rude. But, I think that is because people in different regions of the U.S. are very different from people in other regions. Several Brits told us that tourists from the southern states in the U.S. seemed to be quieter and more well mannered, and also less critical. One food that we didn't eat was Haggis in Scotland. But, the fruitcake in Scotland was amazing!
Elizabeth Morgan that's because people that are raised in the Southern states ARE generally more well-mannered, (maybe not too quiet!), & many Southerners (in particular the ones whose entire family has always lived in the South, like mine) feel a kinship to Brits & Scots. My ancestors came from both those countries, & I've got many friends there.
stevebrownrocks, you're absolutely correct about the South and those whose families have always lived in the South. My husband & I, being of English, Scottish, and Welsh decent, feel a great kinship to the Brits and Scots, too. Being life-long Southerners, we love living in the Southern part of the U.S. We recently discovered "The Bill" on UA-cam & really enjoying watching it. The Brits are outstanding when it comes to drama (both acting and writing). They're the world's best! Would love to live in either England or Scotland. The Lake District was so beautiful, and the Highlands gave us a sense of having lived there in another life.
Hi Elizabeth, you obviously have never watched Eastenders. A more depressing soap opera you will never find. Apart from this and all of the reality shows we do good telly.
You missed a treat with haggis! It's lovely - and there's a vegetarian version which would also be good for people that find eating a load of offal and oatmeal cooked in a sheep's stomach distasteful. :)
The sponge cream cake is called a Victorian Sponge/Sandwich. The sponge cake is filled with Jam (US jelly) and fresh cream/buttercream. Personally I would avoid the buttercream.
I'm English and I'm surprised by the comments. Food culture isn't' that big here, so I'm surprised at all the the angry people trying to tell you that you did something wrong, I enjoyed the video. If you ever come back I would honestly recommend trying an Indian restaurant, as they're really amazing, Korma/Tikka Masala are British, non-spicy, classics. Also plenty of dessert/ pastries which the English actually do pretty well. Cakes/crumbles and pies ect. Toad in the hole might be something to try. Certainly a yorkshire pudding, that's pretty traditional
Thanks for the love, Scott! Glad you found the video enjoyable 😊 We really enjoyed trying all the food! Toad in a hole and yorkshire pudding are definitely dishes we'll be trying next time! We tried tikka masala in London and it was amazing! And I think we could (and probably should) devote a whole video to English desserts...mmmmm!!!!
Scott Like Food culture isnt big here? its at the very heart and soul of our culture. you find any demographic or historial group and they have their food. as the population of england changed so did the foods, we are a true melting pot of international foods while still having our own traditional dishes.
Cor Blimey I hugely disagree. sure historically we did. But you go to other European countries, Italy, France, Spain, and their entire social experience revolves around food. same in south american and east asia and well everywhere as you said. But in England no one cares. We eat shit, quick to make meals. Our social experience is rarely centered around food
I don't know where in the UK you are but food culture is massive here and we also embrace the food of other cultures. I don't eat ready meals or rubbish and I don't know many people who do.
Rachel Westerman no wayyy. I mean I've been lucky enough to travel the world, and live in Italy and the UK is so boring about food. Everyone shops in supermarkets, there is no emphasis on quality fresh local ingredients. Sure we do a good job of embracing other cultures food (a lot through colonialism though) we still don't have the real love of food I've seen other people have.
If you're looking to try more British dishes, beef stew with suet dumplings and crusty farmhouse bread is one of my favorite British dishes for cold weather. I'd also recommend going to a carvery for a roast, that can be amazing, especially if you have a big appetite!
Haha 5:33 "it's gotten real cold outside, it's starting to drizzle a little bit and this tea is just pretty much perfect for this occasion" Now you understand why we love Tea so much, it's always cold and drizzly in England 😂😂
If you ever go back to Cumbria I recommend the Cumberland sausage. It has to be Cranstons Cumberland sausage for the real traditional taste. As you Americans would say. It's AWESOME!!!
I think it's more like no expectations - as you have little to no experience of these dishes so you can't tell what's good, bad or a complete abomination.
T Beck I was thinking the same thing. It can be difficult to locate the best places, you have to be in the know. There's nothing wrong with food you tried of course and I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
T Beck As a Brit I thought those meals looked like very good examples of the dishes. Nice large breakfast and the fish looked fine to me. They looked better than the stuff you get in many pubs. My favourite would be a pasty and a cream tea when ever I'm in Cornwall.
Can any Brits tell us about English cheeses? We weren't served any cheese while we were in England, but we've read that England makes some of the most delicious cheeses! There are some wonderful comments people made below about Yorkshire pudding. I make it here in the U.S. and it's one of our favorite accompaniments for roast beef. Can't wait to get back to the UK! Love you guys!!
Elizabeth Morgan we have so many cheeses. Most areas will have their own cheese. The most popular is Cheddar. Make sure you buy a decent one, as there are some cheap rubber tasting ones. Next time you come over, try to find a cheese and wine night. That way you’ll get to taste lots of different types.
Kirstin McDonald, thanks for the tip! Sounds like a great idea! McDonald is a famous name in Scotland. I bought some of our Anderson tartan when we were in Scotland. There are Andersons on both sides of my family.
every county has its own style, orig from Cheshire which has a mild crumble cheese. There is a cheese called Stilton it's a Blue-veined cheese the tradition is to eat it with Port/ the drink and during 19 Century a mature one might contain maggots and you poured the port on the maggots to kill them I've heard, NOT NOW better storage. ua-cam.com/video/LymNQnKxpdQ/v-deo.html
Lamb & mint pie?! Hey, I'm English but I've never had that, but it sounds pretty good. I can imagine a lamb and mint pasty being pretty good too. Oh yes. Bangers and mash is the ultimate comfort food. Using quality sausages and served with an onion gravy (with maybe a splash of red wine if you're a bit posh). Right, I know what I'm making for tea* tonight! *supper, dinner, etc depending on where you come from...
Being an American married to a Brit, I can say I love visiting England and have learned so much! Just got back from an other visit this week. Let's clarify Mushy Peas. They are not regular green peas. THEY are actually a dried pea/bean called marrow fat peas and more like black eyed peas in flavor. Definitely an aquired taste, but I like them with my fish and chips!
you are very nice people and thanks for being so excited about british meals, which are more like tasty comfort food than high level cuisine. Please try yorkshire pudding with roast beef (Sunday roast/ carvery meal) or toad in the hole with lots of gravy. Next time also have some deserts like rhubarb crumble with custard, or bread and butter pudding. welcome back soon
I'll be England for a few days this month. I'm London purely for the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. I'll be mostly in Birmingham and Alton Towers for the amusement park, then Clowne purely to say I've been there for no reason at all.
@@youtubeuser6403 Most people I know pronounce it parstie in Australia. My Mum came from stoke-on0trent and she called it parstie too but with less emphasis on the r.
Watching this video made me appreciate England a lot more. I think when you live here you get used to everything and you don't appreciate all the great things that a tourist would. The way this video was shot and their reactions to everything reminded me to appreciate what we have here. Good video. One thing though. Fish and chips should be from a chippy. Don't get me wrong pubs can do good fish and chips but the real stuff is from a chip shop.
I'm pleased to see that they require restaurants to state what kind of fish you are served, it makes a huge difference as not all fish is created equal. It's the equivalent of a menu saying "meat" and not knowing if you are getting beef or pork or chicken
We hope you enjoyed this delicious day! If you'd like to see more food adventures around the world, make sure you subscribe ~~> bit.ly/1Nnl2kq We post new travel videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
Just watched this on a whim whilst waiting for my pasta to cook. Yeah, I did enjoy that as it goes..nice to see some appreciation of some of the British classics :D Good to see you were enjoying a fine British Summer too...
I just happened to stumble across this video after watching some American girls eat some sweets (candy!) sent over from the UK. You all did really well in finding what appears to be some great local establishments serving authentic British food. You're all right though, a traditional English Breakfast does indeed come with baked beans. Tends to not make the whole dish taste too dry. Different localities serve differently - for example most would choose local suppliers for sausages. In some parts of the country, you would get Cumberland sausages, in others - Chipolata's. They're all great, but you'll never get two dishes the same. For recommendations, I'd probably look into the following on your next visit. Sunday Roast: Beef or chicken roast, with gravy, roast potatoes, vegetables and yorkshire puddings. Chicken Tikka Masala: Tender chicken pieces cooked in a tandoor to produce one of the nations favourite dishes. Serve with rice, a naan bread and bombay potato. You'll thank me later! Beef Wellington: Beef fillet wrapped in duxelle mushrooms and pastry. Divine. Pie & Mash: No, this isn't just ANY pie and mash. This is one of the unique staple foods that has stood the test of time. Served with mashed potato and liquor, with some vinegar (normal or chilli). If you're ever in London, hit me up. I can definnately recommend some gems to visit.
You need to try a traditional indian curry dish. The British curry dishes have been created by migrants that are totally different to indian dishes. The most popular is chicken tikka masala but there are much hotter dishes if you dare.
This is not proper, that's not proper, the fact of the matter is that they made all of it look great and appetizing for anyone looking to visit England, and that's all you can ask for.
Acadian Bacon Yeah people love to defend their regional foods and say it's not right if it's found somewhere else, but I don't care where it's made as long as it's good.
You should have tried this...you need to try this... Just get over it - they tried some great British food already and in some very authentic looking places. They can't try everything!
people are only offering their advice, because they're passionate about what they like. it's a good thing. other people read the comments too, and might appreciate it.
I lived and worked in Liverpool in the early 1970's. Our landlady made us mashed potatoes and cabbage with some bacon for breakfast. We always went to work with corned beef or bacon sandwiches about four inches thick and a flask of tea. For tea, we usually had scouse, a delicious stew made from mutton, carrots, onions, potatoe and worcestor sauce. On Friday nights, the lads kicked in and purchased fish and chips and served our landlady with them and a glass of gin. Most nights we were in the Eagle and Child pub drinking Tetley's bitter and Guinness. Most of us kept in touch and when our landlady died a couple of years ago, we all returned from all over the world to attend her funeral. English cooking is a bit different, but it is a social experience. I now have access to almost every food known to mankind, but I can't make my scouse and Sunday roast beef taste like Mrs. Murphy's.
Cannot believe you've only had one uptick (before mine)! Definitely agree 100%. When Victor Lewis Smith was restaurant critic for The Guardian he made a point of not going to the posh places like Matthew Fort always did. He made a special trip to Whitby just for the fish and chips. Can't remember which chippy he went to unfortunately. Edit: Just found (googled) it. He went to Audreys in Bridlington. Never been but I must have had Whitby in my mind reading the article in Apr 2005. I visited Whitby in the 80s and still crave the chippies. Bit like Gyros in Germany.
@@nicholasromanov1383 the magpie cafe is the most over rated fish and chip shop I've ever been to, trenches at whitby is much better. The best fish and chips in the north east of england are from Dave's @ beamish museum they're phenomenal.
I'm from the UK. The food there is delicious. See the country and definitely go to the pubs . The food is always delicious. Go to the seaside and enjoy fish and chips wrapped up in newspaper. Rock candy and Cornish ice cream with Flake in it. Find the little towns with beautiful tea rooms. Scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam are the best.
well done guys, great video and it looked like you thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. good to see your well balanced view of great British cooking. Apple and blackberry pie & custard or Rhubarb pie and custard must be your next venture.
come on over. Stay out of London. We're a nice lot really. At the moment, the £ is low so you'll get a great deal. Just ask and any of us will give you lots of tips as to where to visit and what to try. I will always recommend York, for old old buildings, history the countryside and good pub grub. Stay in a cheap B&B (bed and breakfast).
its such a shame that you didnt get to try pie & mash. such a simple pairing of a seasoned minced beef pie and firm mash potato, (no milk or butter) served with a parsley sauce, and most importantly salt, white pepper, and vinegar (two choices of vinegar, ask for the one with tiny red chillis) i see alot of people from around the world trying british foods often fail to enjoy, due to not putting the proper condiments. one comment on the breakfasts, dont pay more than 5 pound for a fry up. try to aim for sausage, bacon, fried egg, one peice of buttered toast, a scoop of beans, then fried mushrooms and a grilled tomato. rarely someone will leave out the toast, or mushrooms, tomato, and commonly the tomato may come from a can, which isnt as popular as it was now fresh totatos are available. another quite common one is sausage, egg, chips. or gammon(ham), egg and chips (more acceptable as a quick evening meal.) black pudding is great. the trick to enjoyjng this is to try to combine as many different things on the end of your fork, dipped in the egg, and dont forget the ketchup, or brown sauce(dates, molassss, apple, vinegar, pepper, spices) -HP fruity sauce is great too. we don't serve the beans in a seperate dish, and boar sausages? we dont commercially breed bore, and most british have never tried it.
In recent days I have been watching a lot of videos made by visitors from either the USA or Canada to England. They are all upbeat, interesting and educational, even for a Brit who has travelled extensively around the UK. This is the first time that I have seen The Endless Adventure and it must be in the top 10, if not the top 3. Thank you.
Hey! Our pasty was first! I'm from Cornwall btw. The one in this video was tiny. That's what we would call a cocktail pasty. Normally given to toddlers a proper homemade pasty like our Cornish grannies would make is the size of a dinner plate. Oh and the crimp is normally on the side not the top. Emmits crimp on top but real Cornish folk crimp on the side. My fave on this list btw is the full english but without the black pudding and mushrooms. Yuk! but that's just me.
I am puzzled about the crimp. We used to holiday in Devon and Cornwall back in the 1960s and 70s. At that time there were lots of small family run bakery shops with what you might call home made bread, pastries and pasties. One favourite was a mobile wagon in Widdecombe run by two old ladies who looked about 90. In every case the pasties were always crimped on top. I never saw a side crimped pasty until the dawn of the factory made flaky pastry abominations from the large corporations. Even if we did not buy them, they were displayed in shop windows, always crimped on top, and always the size of a dinner plate, as you say.
Replevideo - I think you will find that real Cornish pasties should be side crimped. They were intended to be eaten by Cornish tin miners, who would eat them by holding on to the crust, which would be thrown away afterwards. It meant that they didn't need to wash their hands before eating.
Replevideo Widdecombe isn't part of Cornwall hun. Cornwall ends at Plymouth. This would mean that Widdecombes locals are emmits to us and like I said, Emmits crimp on top. Sorry hun.
Pasties were originally made for tin miners to keep their food together in a pastry casing while they worked. Fish and chips vary wildly in appearance and quality, depending where you but them. The best tasting varieties are double fried in beef dripping (cattle fat), but these are rare as vegetable oils have taken over. If you had to name one definitive British food it would be a fish pie, with at least two varieties of fish, oysters and a potato topping. Next would be a "hot pot", a casserole with meat, potatoes and vegetables slow cooked. Even better re-heated a day later when all the flavours blur. Britain has a tremendous cuisine, but we've lost touch with most of it in favour of fast food, just like the U.S.
Chips double cooked in beef dripping are [insert appropriate superlative]!! Need a bit of exercise afterwards though! Reheated casserole same. We've lost touch with the traditional cuisine because, imo, it's all (mostly) comfort food and requires a bit of effort and time. Freezers have a bit to answer for as well.
Love my British folks they’re one of the kindest people I ever met! Especially the village folks city folks too, I’ve been around Europe and being in England makes me feel like home, safer and a lot more comfortable around strangers
Guys thanks for an awesome vid! I’m British stuck in Dubai because of Corona and I’m missing home so so much. Watching you lot try British grub made me miss home even more but also really proud! I’m really glad you got to see a beautiful place outside of London and the south (even though London is great and has amazing food scene), and get a more authentic British food experience than you would perhaps in the city (lots of tourist traps and very average pubs as it’s so big) what you were served is how our mums make it - the real deal! Cream tea... Cornish is Jam as the spread and cream as the star, Devon is cream as the spread and jam as the star. Both MUST have clotted cream not whipped! Brits argue which is best but my fav is Cornish! Pasties are amazing when from a decent place. I hope to god you get a proper Yorkshire pudding some time. With gravy there is nothing on Earth that beats it. Cheers!
Hey Everyone! This was one of our first experiences with English dishes, but since then we've had the pleasure of trying proper cream tea in Cornwall, a true Cornish Pasty and some fish n chips from a chippy. You can checkout those videos here ~~> ua-cam.com/play/PL29AtJe_IGx_60iW5vO_p2-Wps6wZTJB4.html Thanks for watching!
The Endless Adventure England rules!!!
Ok the cream before the jam is the correct way to do it.... it's the Devon way but if you come from Cornwall you put the jam first then the cream lol. Oh and for the perfect full English you need to go to a lorry cafe lol
England drools. but technically most "English" dishes are British dishes, does """" me off when I see haggis, scotch pies, stovies etc called "English" because of the stupid online take away websites.
Yeah gotta be a traditional roast beef dinner, with Yorkshire pudding and horseradish sauce......😎👍
Hey, next time you’re in England, you having to try butterscotch ice cream and a Manchester tart, Eccles Cake, also steak and kidney pudding with chips and gravy!
It's refreshing seeing Americans not mocking our food and culture. These guys are really cool great video
They seemed unpretentious and genuinely interested in the cuisine
I agree. They seemed really nice unpretentious people.
That is an awful shame if anyone has been mocking your culture, but if it makes you feel any better, quite a lot of us in America really admire English culture. Personally, it has to be my favorite foreign culture, at least based upon what I have seen. Unfortunately, I have yet to actually travel there myself, however.
Traditional English food is delicious, especially "pub grub." Americans should never mock English food because much of what we Americans consider traditional dishes are really dishes brought originally from England. A good example is the baked roast with potatoes and carrots usually served on Sunday.
Also our American breakfast is really a full English breakfast without the baked beans.
You guys really bust the myth that Americans are loud and obnoxious abroad.
You are truly lovely unpretentious people and I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Hear hear.
Dan Brown Bravo old chap
English folk have a stereotype for every single culture to bring them down but it just brings themselves down.
I think you just stereotyped English people, the irony.
They are like every American i've come into contact with, gracious, interested in everything and so humble and appriciative.
I spent 3 weeks in Norfolk Virginia and loved it, everyone was so nice.
It's really nice to see American tourists get themselves *out* of London and seeing the 'real' England. I am so pleased that you enjoyed our food

Trouble is restaurant roasts are generally no where near as good as one cooked at home! If going for a roast they should go for a carvery instead so they choose what they want, they're usually so much better. :)
yorkshire puddings must be the most overrated of all british foods, so bland and stodgy!
wi' Yorkshire puds n hendos!
Nothing finer than a Yorkshire pud with a splash of relish!
Good on you guys for getting out into the quieter parts of the UK rather than just London. Lake District area is amazing
We're so glad we ventured outside of the city too - we absolutely fell in love with the Lake District 😍
You should have tried some sticky toffee pudding whilst in the lakes, you would have fallen in love with it even more ;)
fun fact .... there's only 1 actual lake in the lake district - Bassenthwaite Lake
You'll be surprised how little anyone within the lake district cares about this fact, although we all know it no-one cares
StickTheGlue Lake windermere?
As an Englishman, I thank you for these comments in the video. The traditional Sunday roast is a must try! (But make sure you go to a good traditional pub or better still, home cooked).

You didn't try Britain's favourite national dish.... Chicken tikka masala.
the have chicken tikka and they have massala but not together lol
IceFIsh Tikka is Scottish aha
it might be a favourite dish, but it's not our national dish..... we're English. not Indian
going by sales, it's outstripped by miles by McDonalds..... it doesn't mean McDonalds is our national dish - we're English. not American
exceltraining you really need to seek a sense of humour
young and bored I used to do the phall challenge in rusholme, mughali was the restaurant, think it's closed down now.
Every American that I have met in this country has been so polite. You guys have been a pleasure to watch
Cant say the same about the British, seems like you have nothing but hate for us for no apparent reason.
@@guayabito6946 The reason is because you think you are so much better than everyone else, which you arnt.
@@blueyorks6884 Sorry man but no American says that at least not in foreign peoples faces. We do not publish constant videos (like the British do) saying that they are better than us, we do not go to the UK and start criticizing everything (like the brits do). Your resentment does not make us arrogant.
@@guayabito6946 I wish you yanks wouldnt keep calling us british, I am English and have no affiliation with Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland whatsoever, They will say the same.
@@blueyorks6884 England is part of Great Britain, now where you freel british or not, I could't care less. BTW Yankees are people who live in New England, I live in the south. So I am not even a "Yank". But contrary to you guys, I do not criticize and complain about every single thing you say or do. That is anoying and pretty pathetic.
As a Brit it's nice to have Americans try are foods and not just instantly hate it, but appreciate and realise it's sometimes on taste but it is nice!
our foods..............
exactly
TRUE BRIT DID YOU SAY ! IT IS ABOUT ENGLAND ! ! NOT BRITAIN
I'm English and feel so proud that you've had a great time in England and enjoyed our food, when its cooked properly our food is amazing 🏴❤ x

I'm probably an anomaly among Englishmen,but I like American tourists,they're so upbeat.
Who else would describe a scone as magical?
Digs 1 definitely me
Scones are magical!
@@jeffmorse645 they are quite simple to make. Butter, self raising flour, sugar and milk. You just got to make sure the butter and flour are like fine breadcrumbs when you start to mix. You can add sultanas or chopped glace cherries. Bake for about 12 mins at 180oC
Unfortunately many scenes are made too dry but a good fluffy scone (still ever so slightly warm) served with a good quality butter is hard to beat.
And it's pronounced ''scon'' with silent e?
As a English girl I found this so annoying! That cream looks dreadful, clotted cream is supposed to be a lot silkier than that! The pasty looked rubbish too. The fish and chips looked ok, but honestly, I would recommend going down to Cornwall and having proper cornish pasties, cream teas and then going to a coastal place to have fresh fish an chips. British food is much better than this!
I agree, cream teas taste better in the south west (Cornwall, Somerset, Devon), Fish & chips are better on the east coast. Pity they never tried bangers & mash made with either Lincolnshire or cumbrian sausages or the ultimate in unusual items "the Bedfordshire Clanger".
100% agree on the sausages!
Actually, it depends on the clotted cream. I find Cornish clotted cream silkier and creamier than Devonshire clotted cream somehow. While the clotted cream in the video doesn't look very smooth and perhaps too moussey (it's whipped cream, unfortunately). I think the food in this video is a decent representation of British cuisine.
The types of food, yes. The quality, no. The cream just looked like double cream when you over beat it and it curdles! Both Devon and Cornish clotted cream are silky- and that's coming from someone who grew up on it!
cream tea police!!! pull over.
And if you ever get arrested in England the police will offer you tea and biscuits at the station
As a Brit it’s really nice to see an American explore England outside of London, there is so much more than London in our country
There's something so voyeuristically enjoyable at watching Americans get really exited at stereotypically British meals, they find everything so quaint.
That's because everything is so quaint in Britian! Just lovely!! I miss it . ❤
I never really thought of those foods as British. I assumed you got it in america too but I suppose not.
Pati Grove there are plenty of areas that aren’t too lol. Where’ve you been in Britain?
I actually find this video so sweet, you guys are so polite and into trying all the different stuff! As an English person I think that's all that matters really :)
Americans are usually polite and do not criticize other cultures. Can't say the same about the Brits though.
Pub food is nice but for fish and chips it's essential you buy them from a chippy (fish and chip shop).
Uncle Jane Pub fish and chips are less greasy and better than chippy fish and chips imo
Fish and chips from the chippy is the way to go
nah pub fish n chips is better. when I was a kid my local chippy would knock out a good fish n chip supper. As I got older the quality went down though, the portions got much smaller and the prices went up too.
Louis Kirkwood Aww same 😂👌
Fish and chips from a proper "Fish and Chip Shop" and eaten from the paper with your fingers in the outdoors is the only way to go in the UK
"I eat my peas with honey,
"I've done it all my life;
"It makes the peas taste funny,
"But it keeps them on my knife!"
Bro, I remember reading that poem in primary school and for some reason it always stuck in my head, even 25 years later! So jokes seeing it as a random UA-cam comment
Same
Molasses works too.
what two lovely Americans - always welcome over again .
Do you work in Heathrow customs? Or the govt minister for Immigration?
Reet Proper Berk lol savage...
shut up n eat ur curry...
Aliholland Abeng Did your get denied a visa to the UK or something? Why so bitter in all the comments?
proper fish and chips comes from a chippy not a pub !
What's the name of that famous one in Blackpool went there 2 weeks ago it was the best I had.
Yep and wrapped in paper. It was newspaper when i was but a nipper, eeeh eh them were the days.
he also forgot the salt and vinegar. poor lad left out the best part
Most vinegar in these places isnt malt anymore. Of course you can still buy it but i believe its cheaper to use this fake malt vinegar... depends on the establishment i spose.
well that sucks then
I love it when Americans try English things and go to England 🏴😍😍😍
I'm American, the best fish in chips I ever had was at a walk up stand just outside Portsmouth Naval Station, Portsmouth England
Fish and chips are better up north.
James Hoey meh I find south west is better
@@jamiemidge4983 Try the Magpie cafe in Whitby. The best I've had and tried them from all over the country.
Ha! I'm British and the best f & c I've had was on the Gold Coast in Oz! That said I have an award-winning chippy 200 yds from my front door in SE London (but can't help thinking its all quite subjective really. Depends on how hungry you are, the emotional state you're in, weather, surroundings etc)
@@jameshoey69 best I had was in Portsmouth too .
No you've done right, and done some of the British classic's but also the Classic Sunday Lunch is a must. I am so glad you've manage to get further a field than just typically gone to just London, and you've gone further North and The Lake District is lovely. I hope you've inspired others to get to see more of Britain than just the Capitol.
Taking it to the Limit British food in London can easily reach 3 times the price in some areas XD
It's a good thing they've gone further afield and at local establishments :)
Seeing lovely, enthusiastic Americans so excited about things we see as normal here in England is the nicest thing. Glad you enjoyed it all.
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile I wish you the best this year how is the weather over there right now
Hi hayley
The Pastie was originally made for miners. they would eat it but throw away the crust as it would get covered in grime. one half would be filled with meat etc and half with a sweet/dessert
Gareth Oakes pasty
An old-fashioned pastie would also have the owner's initials on it.
Gareth Oakes If you want a great pasty you need to visit 'chough bakery' in padstow definitely up there in the best Cornish pasty's.
that pasty crust was all wrong looked so dry and more like a pie crust than a pasty crust come down to Devon and you will find proper pasties not this northern (pie obsessed) peoples version. To me its a sin.
Nah mate. Rowes is the best
It's refreshing to see the stereotype about "British food being terrible" busted. Glad you enjoyed your visit come back anytime.
MANY Americans LOVE the UK's culture, people, and are now understanding the food SO MUCH MORE. Cheers to you and yours from Indianapolis, IN USA!!!!
British food is not terrible in itself. It is , however, terrible when compared to other countries foods. Sorry.
@@claudemaassen2963 I agree
Lol. Even Britons mock their own food. Go into any tourist shop in London and you’ll find plenty of postcards with funny jabs at British food.
That's the English way: self depreciation, taking the piss out of yourself is an art form. Unfortunately it passes most other nationalities by as genuine disdain or animosity ("bashing") when the vast majority of time it isn't.
Not being bias but, Britain has some outstanding history and traditions, not many places can compare.
I THINK THAT YOU MEAN ENGLAND, ! ?
@@82davidjohnson and biased! (Honestly, why can't people get that word right?)
Very nice people being very courteous about our wonderful nation. Bravo

ENGLAND FOR EVER , AND FOR EVER ENGLAND
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your experience at Cowan Bridge Tea Room and enjoyed your lakes freshly whipped double cream on your home made scone. We welcome your very kind comments and appreciate the time you have given to create this article.
The scones are beautiful. Jam first and then cream
That's the Cornish way. Devon does it cream then jam. Both claim to have invented cream tea, but I think, as of right now, it's looking like Devon has a claim from around 1000 years ago. It's quite a battle.
where's the clotted cream?!
England is a beautiful country. As an American it's really nice to see that not everyone thinks Americans are horrible, even though sometimes we are. I love shepherds' pie. And scones, and more scones and more scones.
Me too! I'm American obsessed with the UK and Ireland
🏴❤️🇺🇸
why the hell am I on this, IM BRITISH
Having the exact same thought!
Bethany Mullineux so we can judge anything that's wrong, just like how they use our language.
m4x, Takes a irrelevant person to judge yeh?
Same here but the way she said pasty cracked me up 😂
I eat pasties regularly, not when I'm on a diet though. I do a fry up every week (with baked beans!) with black pudding when I can find it. (Clotted!) cream teas are a treat if I take my parents out at summertime. Fish and chips and shepherds pie are staples my Mum used to make/buy most weeks when I was growing up and I still eat both now. In terms of realism this really is very good, but needless to say on this diet I got well over 20 stone.
It's nice to see an American visiting somewhere other than London.
We're officially in love with the north 😍

I'm glad you enjoyed my country. Americans are welcome any time.
The way she said pasty 😂😂
They make them in America too. There were large numbers of Welsh miners who moved to the Upper Penneusila of Michigan to mine iron. They have pastay shops there.
Chicken Nugget hmmmmmm gotta try that next time we're in the UP.
Welsh, really, not Cornish?
I like your username
PartiZAn18 likewise ☺️
The teapot cover is called a 'cosy' (KO-ZEE). In an emergency, they can be utilised as hats!
Oh yes. It's a tradition among men to always put the cozy on your head. Sideways is Napoleon...head on the Pope.
And if you happen to be a Rasta, it's a hat that can be used as a tea cosy.

Watching this makes me want to go to england.
I live in england
+Blysse 😂
Blysse I'll buy you breakfast
Blysse Wow!! I want to go to England for those dishes!! U guys are having a great time. From New York (USA).
I'm from England and they have to try A roast dinner with giant Yorkshire puddings
i'd rather go to africa n eat fufu...england sucks!!
Try roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. There's nothing more traditional than that and don't forget to add the gravy and horseradish sauce!
and mint sauce
Sounds good to me!
And roast parsnips
Si Noble Mint sauce is for lamb not beef.
I do that for Christmas dinner. But as an American the food they tried are not as common here. (I do make a mean Shepard's pie)
British food is wonderfully delicious!! We toured England, Scotland and Wales to see all the home land of all our relatives. It was a heavenly two weeks. We felt right at home with the Brits and their foods. In addition to the delicious fish and chips, we loved the full British breakfast. For the evening meals, we were served roast beef, roast turkey and ham with broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and of course potatoes. We especially enjoyed meeting the British people. They were so kind and gracious with lovely manners. Brits have said that unfortunately, some Americans were loud and rude. But, I think that is because people in different regions of the U.S. are very different from people in other regions. Several Brits told us that tourists from the southern states in the U.S. seemed to be quieter and more well mannered, and also less critical. One food that we didn't eat was Haggis in Scotland. But, the fruitcake in Scotland was amazing!
Thank you. We try our best. :)
Elizabeth Morgan that's because people that are raised in the Southern states ARE generally more well-mannered, (maybe not too quiet!), & many Southerners (in particular the ones whose entire family has always lived in the South, like mine) feel a kinship to Brits & Scots. My ancestors came from both those countries, & I've got many friends there.
stevebrownrocks, you're absolutely correct about the South and those whose families have always lived in the South. My husband & I, being of English, Scottish, and Welsh decent, feel a great kinship to the Brits and Scots, too. Being life-long Southerners, we love living in the Southern part of the U.S. We recently discovered "The Bill" on UA-cam & really enjoying watching it. The Brits are outstanding when it comes to drama (both acting and writing). They're the world's best! Would love to live in either England or Scotland. The Lake District was so beautiful, and the Highlands gave us a sense of having lived there in another life.
Hi Elizabeth, you obviously have never watched Eastenders. A more depressing soap opera you will never find. Apart from this and all of the reality shows we do good telly.
You missed a treat with haggis! It's lovely - and there's a vegetarian version which would also be good for people that find eating a load of offal and oatmeal cooked in a sheep's stomach distasteful. :)
I'm Colombian and having travelled to England, I'm in love with their cuisine: pasty, apple pie. My favourites
Sunday roast dinner is a must in English history yummy.And also a victorian sponge cream cake from a baker is perfection :) .
We're pretty bummed we missed the Sunday roast. It's at the top of our list for next time! And sponge cream cake sounds divine 🍰
The sponge cream cake is called a Victorian Sponge/Sandwich. The sponge cake is filled with Jam (US jelly) and fresh cream/buttercream. Personally I would avoid the buttercream.
Ken Lee yeh butter cream doesn't suit the sponge but cream is amazing in side the cake it's my favourite cake in the whole world :3 XD it's so yummy .
I'm English and I'm surprised by the comments. Food culture isn't' that big here, so I'm surprised at all the the angry people trying to tell you that you did something wrong, I enjoyed the video.
If you ever come back I would honestly recommend trying an Indian restaurant, as they're really amazing, Korma/Tikka Masala are British, non-spicy, classics. Also plenty of dessert/ pastries which the English actually do pretty well. Cakes/crumbles and pies ect. Toad in the hole might be something to try. Certainly a yorkshire pudding, that's pretty traditional
Thanks for the love, Scott! Glad you found the video enjoyable 😊 We really enjoyed trying all the food! Toad in a hole and yorkshire pudding are definitely dishes we'll be trying next time! We tried tikka masala in London and it was amazing! And I think we could (and probably should) devote a whole video to English desserts...mmmmm!!!!
Scott Like Food culture isnt big here? its at the very heart and soul of our culture. you find any demographic or historial group and they have their food. as the population of england changed so did the foods, we are a true melting pot of international foods while still having our own traditional dishes.
Cor Blimey I hugely disagree. sure historically we did. But you go to other European countries, Italy, France, Spain, and their entire social experience revolves around food. same in south american and east asia and well everywhere as you said. But in England no one cares. We eat shit, quick to make meals. Our social experience is rarely centered around food
I don't know where in the UK you are but food culture is massive here and we also embrace the food of other cultures. I don't eat ready meals or rubbish and I don't know many people who do.
Rachel Westerman no wayyy. I mean I've been lucky enough to travel the world, and live in Italy and the UK is so boring about food. Everyone shops in supermarkets, there is no emphasis on quality fresh local ingredients. Sure we do a good job of embracing other cultures food (a lot through colonialism though) we still don't have the real love of food I've seen other people have.
Sunday Roast with Yorkshire pudding☺
If you're looking to try more British dishes, beef stew with suet dumplings and crusty farmhouse bread is one of my favorite British dishes for cold weather. I'd also recommend going to a carvery for a roast, that can be amazing, especially if you have a big appetite!
Haha 5:33 "it's gotten real cold outside, it's starting to drizzle a little bit and this tea is just pretty much perfect for this occasion" Now you understand why we love Tea so much, it's always cold and drizzly in England 😂😂
If you ever go back to Cumbria I recommend the Cumberland sausage. It has to be Cranstons Cumberland sausage for the real traditional taste. As you Americans would say. It's AWESOME!!!
As a Brit myself I didn't rate the look of the meals, glad you enjoyed them though!
Haha, I guess we're just easily impressed 😊
I think it's more like no expectations - as you have little to no experience of these dishes so you can't tell what's good, bad or a complete abomination.
T Beck I was thinking the same thing. It can be difficult to locate the best places, you have to be in the know. There's nothing wrong with food you tried of course and I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
T Beck As a Brit I thought those meals looked like very good examples of the dishes. Nice large breakfast and the fish looked fine to me. They looked better than the stuff you get in many pubs.
My favourite would be a pasty and a cream tea when ever I'm in Cornwall.
Rusty Nail my dad used to wind me up as a young kid; that Pasties were mined from the Cornish mores lol. Akin to the wild Haggis of Scotland.
Can't be a full English without Beans, sorry that's just how it is out here.
The knitted tea pot covers are called tea cosies.
mike04535 we have them here in the states and call them cosies too! I can't imagine not having a teapot in my home!
Nothing better than a bowl of Scouse (from Liverpool) with crusty bread and beetroot
Aero Angel I love a bowl of Scouse, with brown sauce. Mrs is a Scouser, I'm
a Cockney

Can any Brits tell us about English cheeses? We weren't served any cheese while we were in England, but we've read that England makes some of the most delicious cheeses! There are some wonderful comments people made below about Yorkshire pudding. I make it here in the U.S. and it's one of our favorite accompaniments for roast beef. Can't wait to get back to the UK! Love you guys!!
Elizabeth Morgan we have so many cheeses. Most areas will have their own cheese. The most popular is Cheddar. Make sure you buy a decent one, as there are some cheap rubber tasting ones. Next time you come over, try to find a cheese and wine night. That way you’ll get to taste lots of different types.
Kirstin McDonald, thanks for the tip! Sounds like a great idea! McDonald is a famous name in Scotland. I bought some of our Anderson tartan when we were in Scotland. There are Andersons on both sides of my family.
every county has its own style, orig from Cheshire which has a mild crumble cheese. There is a cheese called Stilton it's a Blue-veined cheese the tradition is to eat it with Port/ the drink and during 19 Century a mature one might contain maggots and you poured the port on the maggots to kill them I've heard, NOT NOW better storage. ua-cam.com/video/LymNQnKxpdQ/v-deo.html
they are tasteless...u'll regret if u try it..england are a total sucks!!
+barry musgrove u talk rubbish..what maggots??!!u wanna make people eat maggots...u nuts!!
Perfect tea weather, or as we call it in Britain; “weather”.
In Britain it's "whether it rains or whether is doesn't!" But hey - that's why everything is beautifully green!

Eric did a great job editing this video, he really captured the british vibe.
Eric Is one of the best editors on you tube.
What a lovely bunch of people you are. 😀
A lot of people like to bad mouth the UK about the food. Funny thing is, it is GREAT food! So put that in your proper pile and smoke it mate!
I just returned from England & my 3 favorite things were: Scotch Eggs; Lamb & Mint meat pie; Bangers & Mash 😋
Lamb & mint pie?! Hey, I'm English but I've never had that, but it sounds pretty good. I can imagine a lamb and mint pasty being pretty good too.
Oh yes. Bangers and mash is the ultimate comfort food. Using quality sausages and served with an onion gravy (with maybe a splash of red wine if you're a bit posh). Right, I know what I'm making for tea* tonight!
*supper, dinner, etc depending on where you come from...
next time try fish chips go to Liverpool and get scouse a big bowl of it

Being an American married to a Brit, I can say I love visiting England and have learned so much! Just got back from an other visit this week. Let's clarify Mushy Peas. They are not regular green peas. THEY are actually a dried pea/bean called marrow fat peas and more like black eyed peas in flavor. Definitely an aquired taste, but I like them with my fish and chips!
you are very nice people and thanks for being so excited about british meals, which are more like tasty comfort food than high level cuisine. Please try yorkshire pudding with roast beef (Sunday roast/ carvery meal) or toad in the hole with lots of gravy. Next time also have some deserts like rhubarb crumble with custard, or bread and butter pudding. welcome back soon
now your talking..british food is not all bad ...and fish and chips from a good fish and chip shop ..
I love her hair.
Yeah.
im glad you were up north and not in london like most . london is a very false impression of the rest of britain .
London isn't even Britain imo. It's like an alien planet. Hate it.
PiousMoltar London an the surrounding counties have just about everything Britain has to offer
I'll be England for a few days this month. I'm London purely for the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. I'll be mostly in Birmingham and Alton Towers for the amusement park, then Clowne purely to say I've been there for no reason at all.
Autumn/Winter the London Eye not worth the admission price - weather too crappy to see anything
@@pauladams1211 good to know, days after I changed my plans to stay in Scotland 😄

‘Parstie’ omg I’ve never heard it pronounced like that. I’m actually shocked.
She got it right afterwards though
@@youtubeuser6403 Most people I know pronounce it parstie in Australia. My Mum came from stoke-on0trent and she called it parstie too but with less emphasis on the r.
Watching this video made me appreciate England a lot more. I think when you live here you get used to everything and you don't appreciate all the great things that a tourist would. The way this video was shot and their reactions to everything reminded me to appreciate what we have here. Good video. One thing though. Fish and chips should be from a chippy. Don't get me wrong pubs can do good fish and chips but the real stuff is from a chip shop.
I'm pleased to see that they require restaurants to state what kind of fish you are served, it makes a huge difference as not all fish is created equal. It's the equivalent of a menu saying "meat" and not knowing if you are getting beef or pork or chicken
Can’t believe I’m just now seeing this for the 1st time in 2021! So excited for the RV to be completed.

Just watched this on a whim whilst waiting for my pasta to cook. Yeah, I did enjoy that as it goes..nice to see some appreciation of some of the British classics :D Good to see you were enjoying a fine British Summer too...
I just happened to stumble across this video after watching some American girls eat some sweets (candy!) sent over from the UK. You all did really well in finding what appears to be some great local establishments serving authentic British food. You're all right though, a traditional English Breakfast does indeed come with baked beans. Tends to not make the whole dish taste too dry. Different localities serve differently - for example most would choose local suppliers for sausages. In some parts of the country, you would get Cumberland sausages, in others - Chipolata's. They're all great, but you'll never get two dishes the same.
For recommendations, I'd probably look into the following on your next visit.
Sunday Roast: Beef or chicken roast, with gravy, roast potatoes, vegetables and yorkshire puddings.
Chicken Tikka Masala: Tender chicken pieces cooked in a tandoor to produce one of the nations favourite dishes. Serve with rice, a naan bread and bombay potato. You'll thank me later!
Beef Wellington: Beef fillet wrapped in duxelle mushrooms and pastry. Divine.
Pie & Mash: No, this isn't just ANY pie and mash. This is one of the unique staple foods that has stood the test of time. Served with mashed potato and liquor, with some vinegar (normal or chilli).
If you're ever in London, hit me up. I can definnately recommend some gems to visit.
This is what I call my home, coming home to the smell of fresh fish and chips
what on earth did you do to that cup of tea were you trying to drown it with milk smh
You need to try a traditional indian curry dish. The British curry dishes have been created by migrants that are totally different to indian dishes. The most popular is chicken tikka masala but there are much hotter dishes if you dare.
Clotted cream is so amazing
Don't think that was clotted cream looked more like double cream whipped, to light and fluffy. Cornish jam first, Devon cream first
British fish and chips is the best in the world!....and the British people were wonderful!
You met people from all 5 British countries?
I'm an American (obiously from my avatar) and I would love to try some authenic fish and chips

This is not proper, that's not proper, the fact of the matter is that they made all of it look great and appetizing for anyone looking to visit England, and that's all you can ask for.
And it really was all pretty good in our opinions 👍🏻
Acadian Bacon Yeah people love to defend their regional foods and say it's not right if it's found somewhere else, but I don't care where it's made as long as it's good.
Chalky yeah but there’s a big difference between fish and chips from a chippy and from a pub
try slow cooked lamb shank with mash, gravy and a little mint sauce
You should have tried this...you need to try this... Just get over it - they tried some great British food already and in some very authentic looking places. They can't try everything!
+rich hand 🙌
people are only offering their advice, because they're passionate about what they like. it's a good thing. other people read the comments too, and might appreciate it.
I lived and worked in Liverpool in the early 1970's. Our landlady made us mashed potatoes and cabbage with some bacon for breakfast.
We always went to work with corned beef or bacon sandwiches about four inches thick and a flask of tea.
For tea, we usually had scouse, a delicious stew made from mutton, carrots, onions, potatoe and worcestor sauce.
On Friday nights, the lads kicked in and purchased fish and chips and served our landlady with them and a glass of gin.
Most nights we were in the Eagle and Child pub drinking Tetley's bitter and Guinness.
Most of us kept in touch and when our landlady died a couple of years ago, we all returned from all over the world to attend her funeral.
English cooking is a bit different, but it is a social experience.
I now have access to almost every food known to mankind, but I can't make my scouse and Sunday roast beef taste like Mrs. Murphy's.
This is good, not gimmicky like these types of videos usually are. Just well shot and well presented. Subscribed.
Thanks so much and welcome to the adventure!! 😊✊👊
Joe Chill Totally agree. Really liked the guys in the video and just well put together! Made me feel proud to be from the UK
As a Brit it amuses me how you views of the food are so American and delightful 👍😇
Fish and chips in Whitby :-) you will never go anywhere else lol
Cannot believe you've only had one uptick (before mine)! Definitely agree 100%. When Victor Lewis Smith was restaurant critic for The Guardian he made a point of not going to the posh places like Matthew Fort always did. He made a special trip to Whitby just for the fish and chips. Can't remember which chippy he went to unfortunately.
Edit: Just found (googled) it. He went to Audreys in Bridlington. Never been but I must have had Whitby in my mind reading the article in Apr 2005. I visited Whitby in the 80s and still crave the chippies. Bit like Gyros in Germany.
The Magpie Cafe, its a holy shrine of fish & chips.
North Bay Fisheries chip shop in Scarborough is absolutely excellent and don’t forget a bag of scraps!
Na grimsby/cleethorpes fish n chips
@@nicholasromanov1383 the magpie cafe is the most over rated fish and chip shop I've ever been to, trenches at whitby is much better.
The best fish and chips in the north east of england are from Dave's @ beamish museum they're phenomenal.
I'm from the UK. The food there is delicious. See the country and definitely go to the pubs . The food is always delicious. Go to the seaside and enjoy fish and chips wrapped up in newspaper. Rock candy and Cornish ice cream with Flake in it. Find the little towns with beautiful tea rooms. Scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam are the best.
well done guys, great video and it looked like you thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. good to see your well balanced view of great British cooking. Apple and blackberry pie & custard or Rhubarb pie and custard must be your next venture.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Good shout on the rhubarb pie and custard !
custard..... yum "creme anglais" lol
Pie all day long!
KPH, Pie all day long! Crumble is a makeshift topping with no base.
I'm so hungry now. Since I love all of those traditional English dishes here in the States I would die to taste the real thing over there!
I'm English and there is nothing better than a good fish and chips befor a cup of tea😜
come on over. Stay out of London. We're a nice lot really. At the moment, the £ is low so you'll get a great deal. Just ask and any of us will give you lots of tips as to where to visit and what to try. I will always recommend York, for old old buildings, history the countryside and good pub grub. Stay in a cheap B&B (bed and breakfast).
its such a shame that you didnt get to try pie & mash. such a simple pairing of a seasoned minced beef pie and firm mash potato, (no milk or butter) served with a parsley sauce, and most importantly salt, white pepper, and vinegar (two choices of vinegar, ask for the one with tiny red chillis) i see alot of people from around the world trying british foods often fail to enjoy, due to not putting the proper condiments.
one comment on the breakfasts, dont pay more than 5 pound for a fry up. try to aim for sausage, bacon, fried egg, one peice of buttered toast, a scoop of beans, then fried mushrooms and a grilled tomato. rarely someone will leave out the toast, or mushrooms, tomato, and commonly the tomato may come from a can, which isnt as popular as it was now fresh totatos are available. another quite common one is sausage, egg, chips. or gammon(ham), egg and chips (more acceptable as a quick evening meal.) black pudding is great. the trick to enjoyjng this is to try to combine as many different things on the end of your fork, dipped in the egg, and dont forget the ketchup, or brown sauce(dates, molassss, apple, vinegar, pepper, spices) -HP fruity sauce is great too. we don't serve the beans in a seperate dish, and boar sausages? we dont commercially breed bore, and most british have never tried it.
I love it when tourists (particularly Americans) come to the U.K. and venture away from London! You guys have seen ‘proper England’ 🏴 🇬🇧
£3.50 for a pasty? I think they saw you coming!
xD
Not for eat in. I pay about that for takeaway. Dunno what century you're living in.
because I live in Cornwall and every other shop on my highstreet is a bakery, I eat pasties a lot and I usually pay about that for one
it's jam on first no debating 😂
Yes it is Chloe, yes it is.
Oh WOWW that shpherd's pie, flaky cod fish and chips looked delishhhhhhhh!!!! England is most definitely on my bucket list!
Yes you must go!! Spend no less than 1 month there ...so so so much to see and experience.
Note: 'Pail' can also be used in place of 'bucket'........unless talking about a bucket list!
'Pail list' does not exist in English language!!
You would be very welcome
try scouse

should have gone to Gregg's 😂😂😂
Harry Abbas bacon and bean melt 🤣
if you want greg's go my home town Newcastle.
Harry Abbas Gregg's looks a pound shop equivalent of a breakfast roll in Ireland.
Watch out, because I hear that "Old Gregg has a mangina!"
Dianne Steitz bravo 👏👏👏
In recent days I have been watching a lot of videos made by visitors from either the USA or Canada to England. They are all upbeat, interesting and educational, even for a Brit who has travelled extensively around the UK. This is the first time that I have seen The Endless Adventure and it must be in the top 10, if not the top 3. Thank you.
Hey! Our pasty was first! I'm from Cornwall btw. The one in this video was tiny. That's what we would call a cocktail pasty. Normally given to toddlers a proper homemade pasty like our Cornish grannies would make is the size of a dinner plate. Oh and the crimp is normally on the side not the top. Emmits crimp on top but real Cornish folk crimp on the side. My fave on this list btw is the full english but without the black pudding and mushrooms. Yuk! but that's just me.
I am puzzled about the crimp. We used to holiday in Devon and Cornwall back in the 1960s and 70s. At that time there were lots of small family run bakery shops with what you might call home made bread, pastries and pasties. One favourite was a mobile wagon in Widdecombe run by two old ladies who looked about 90. In every case the pasties were always crimped on top. I never saw a side crimped pasty until the dawn of the factory made flaky pastry abominations from the large corporations. Even if we did not buy them, they were displayed in shop windows, always crimped on top, and always the size of a dinner plate, as you say.
Replevideo - I think you will find that real Cornish pasties should be side crimped. They were intended to be eaten by Cornish tin miners, who would eat them by holding on to the crust, which would be thrown away afterwards. It meant that they didn't need to wash their hands before eating.
Replevideo Widdecombe isn't part of Cornwall hun. Cornwall ends at Plymouth. This would mean that Widdecombes locals are emmits to us and like I said, Emmits crimp on top. Sorry hun.
looe
Proud to have joined you on this culinary journey. Dont forget. And have one bean. Thanks
So many beans
Pasties were originally made for tin miners to keep their food together in a pastry casing while they worked. Fish and chips vary wildly in appearance and quality, depending where you but them. The best tasting varieties are double fried in beef dripping (cattle fat), but these are rare as vegetable oils have taken over.
If you had to name one definitive British food it would be a fish pie, with at least two varieties of fish, oysters and a potato topping. Next would be a "hot pot", a casserole with meat, potatoes and vegetables slow cooked. Even better re-heated a day later when all the flavours blur. Britain has a tremendous cuisine, but we've lost touch with most of it in favour of fast food, just like the U.S.
Chips double cooked in beef dripping are [insert appropriate superlative]!! Need a bit of exercise afterwards though! Reheated casserole same.
We've lost touch with the traditional cuisine because, imo, it's all (mostly) comfort food and requires a bit of effort and time. Freezers have a bit to answer for as well.
Love my British folks they’re one of the kindest people I ever met! Especially the village folks city folks too, I’ve been around Europe and being in England makes me feel like home, safer and a lot more comfortable around strangers
I wanted to cry when I saw how much milk was put it that tea!
Hahahah i was shouting stop! Stop! at my phone 👍
@@farnyone hahah same
yep to much milk for sure ..
You should try some Indian Chai then.
😂😂😂 I know just what I thought
The bakeries in the north are proper good.
I must say, as Americans abroad in the UK you do your country credit.
Guys thanks for an awesome vid! I’m British stuck in Dubai because of Corona and I’m missing home so so much. Watching you lot try British grub made me miss home even more but also really proud! I’m really glad you got to see a beautiful place outside of London and the south (even though London is great and has amazing food scene), and get a more authentic British food experience than you would perhaps in the city (lots of tourist traps and very average pubs as it’s so big) what you were served is how our mums make it - the real deal!
Cream tea... Cornish is Jam as the spread and cream as the star, Devon is cream as the spread and jam as the star. Both MUST have clotted cream not whipped! Brits argue which is best but my fav is Cornish!
Pasties are amazing when from a decent place.
I hope to god you get a proper Yorkshire pudding some time. With gravy there is nothing on Earth that beats it.
Cheers!
Huge yes to Yorkshire pudding!! 🤩
