Pies are pastry crust, baked in the oven.
Puddings are suet casings, steamed or poached on the hob.
Suet is a meat/fat product..
Kidney: is usually with lambs or pigs kidneys
They can be baked also, but it has to be suet pastry.
How do you poach a pie or pudding?!? lol
simon temple pierce the tin and place the tin upright in a pan of simmering water, the water level not reaching the top of the tin. Sort of like a boiling the semi-submerged tin
@@KeithGadget Oh, in a tin! Never had one. I used to like fray bentos pies when I was younger but the last one I had, maybe 3 years ago, was grim. Give me homemade please.
simon temple they were always grim, but we had simpler food desires back then. They were also bigger, the tins seem a lot smaller now.
Yes poached in the tin like a Bain Marie. The tin piercing is to stop them exploding.
Fond memories that can stay in the past. 😂😂👍
@@stopthenames You can get the puds that you Microwave now and they are just as good.
Go to a traditional chip shop to get your fish and chips, not a pub!
Got It!! -Ash
POPPIES!!
CNVideas: Take-away fish and chips is fodder for the masses. Try that cooked by a chef and you'll well-appreciate the difference.
@@anghinetti I would choose take-away fish and chips over restaurant fish and chips every time. I can't think of a single example where the restaurant version was better. More healthy perhaps, but never better.
It doesn't matter where you go for fish and chips if it's not cooked in Beef Dripping it's not worth eating full stop !
When you try fish and chips don't do it in a wetherspoons because its not fresh, try it on the coast at a takeaway shop, it's much better and the fish goes straight from the dock to the shop (or at least it does where I'm from in England!)
Hope you have a great time here!!!
Great tip! Thank you Alice.
No, don’t do Wetherspoons ....Do like the other person said and go to a proper fish and chip shop....
Filey if you're going to the coast beautiful fish and chips or sea houses up north near bamburgh castle
I would also add that there are two kinds of fish & chips: Good fish & chips and bad fish & chips. There is literally nothing in the middle. Also you should only eat fish & chips when you are really hungry, and in a car, and when it's late, dark, cold and wet. Lots of salt & vinegar.
@J130 G810 big up my hometown of Lowestoft, think the place your thinking of is the Pakefield plaice
Great Video as always but £15 for a steak and kidney pudding, is crazy price,
Was pricey for sure, I think you were paying for the atmosphere ;)
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh it was lol, at that price, the atmosphere should have had dancers and a band lol
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh Prices have got a bit silly in Manchester over the last few years. I've lived here for a long time, still do. That steak and kidney pudding sells for £1.50 in any chippy if you want another (and it will taste just as good).
If you're still in Manchester "Cask" is a great place for a few craft beers and is next door to an amazing chip shop.
£15 for steak and kidney pudding with mash....jeezaloo! You can get it in my local pie & mash shop for £5.50 and get a syrup sponge pudding with custard afterwards for £3.50.
you was scammed!
City pub sausages are usually the cheap smooth Irish variety. In country pubs the tastier British variety is available. Good to see Americans going to somewhere other than London.
Irish sausages are delicious and meaty . Welcome to Ireland and try them .

As you guys know, city-centre eateries are expensive, country/small town pubs do great food for great prices.
True! Good point.
nigel Mc Hugh Not always true. The city centres get the footfall and turnover so can sometimes be better value. Country places are often more restaurant than pub and have gone a bit chi chi.
What do you mean by chi chi?
@@GeeCeeWU: Google either chi chi, chichi or shi shi and then you'll know...
@@anghinetti I did and I see what you mean.
Fifteen pounds!! You certainly found the tourist traps
1000% profit
Being a brit I'd never call sausages bangers yet I'd call the meal bangers n mash still, I think this is typical... odd huh?
I guess it's like toad in the hole. I'd never call sausages toads and yorkshire puddings 'holes' but here we are!
Sausages were called bangers during the 1st world war, when the butchers & sausage manufactuers were putting water in them to fill the sausage out, so when they were cooked they would explode, therefore, they was called bangers
Traditional gravy with old fashioned bangers n mash was Onion gravy, thicker n loaded with onion
Sticky Toffee Pudding was created by chef and hotelier Francis Coulson at the Sharrow Bay Hotel in the Lake District (Cumbria) in the 1940's/50's. Adapted from an old English recipe. Glad you enjoyed your food - good choices of traditional British food.
If it was adapted from an Old English recipe then he could not have "Created" it.
@@RushfanUK I can only go by what I've been told (personally by Francis and his family). When does any dish or combination of ingredients become a new dish/recipe? Chicken casserole become Coq au vin? Steak pie become Beef Wellington? There must be a 'creator' and tipping point...! Maybe 'adapted' was the wrong word to use, 'derived' or 'inspired' would probably have been a better choice.
This is the generally accepted account. I thought it was later than this though, like the '60s or '70s. It's definitely not an olde traditional dish.
Steak and kidney pudding is made from a suet crust which gives it a specific taste
Margaret Alletson lol you beat me to it Margaret 👍
Haha, Suet Pastry Crust, got it! 😋
WAY AWAY Next time you guys should come to Sheffield and try steak and kidney pie or pudding with some Henderson’s.....and it won’t cost £15.....
Well done, I was just about to correct them, but saw your post
I always prefer pudding, because the spongy crust soaks up the gravy and makes it taste _far_ better :)
That ale appears to be Landlord by Timothy Taylor's brewed in my home town and has won a ton of awards over many decades, excellent choice.
Place you talking about its keighley west Yorkshire.
As a Brit... that bangers and mash looks messy and slopped on a plate...not appetizing
Elizabeth Cherokee was thinking the same.
As a brit, I know wetherspoons food when I see it.... cheap and cheerful but hardly gastro..
I thought it was Wetherspoons.. cheap dreadful sausages!
Some crappy looking cheap sausages right there
Very BAD presentation of a good dish!
When you were in Manchester you should of gone to This and That on Soap Street for rice and 3 curry and a Nan for under £7 Manchester's hidden gem.
You need to get over to Bakewell in Derbyshire Peak District and try the "Bakewell pudding. Its unique.
Oh my goodness I wanted to so badly but sadly this trip we couldn't. The little bakewell pies are my favorite in the UK with a cup of tea. -Ash
mark walters yeah bakewell pudding is amazing,nothing like the mr k’s Bakewell tarts
If you ever make a trip to the Peak District then come to Ashbourne and check the Royal Shrovetide Football out. Look it up on UA-cam
Congratulations on your diplomacy with the mums and grandmas comment. You have a really easy going likable character - great video! Welcome to our city!
I love you guys for breaking the mould of what we should do!!!!!!!!! I’m going to follow you as long as you do something fun/different ❤️❤️❤️
You can still get a lot of bad sausages in the UK. I'd steer clear of supermarket sausages which use artificial casings and lower quality meat. Go to a decent butchers that makes their own sausages using pigs intestine for the casings, the taste will be so much better. I'd recommend looking out for pork & apple or a decent quality Lincolnshire sausage (full of herbs).
There is such a spectrum with sausages, everything from the frozen nasties, to the cheap supermarket ones, expensive supermarket ones, and butchers. Same with bacon to be fair.
Cumberland Sausage
Cheaper the better !!!
Some supermarkets have their own in-house butcher who make their own traditional sausages. You would find them in delicatessens.
Fancy waking up to that voice every day.
Sticky toffee pudding was invented in the Lake District by a chef in the 1970’s I believe.
Sharrowbay Hotel at Ullswater
Correct it was created up here
Yeah its British alright, Francis Coulson and Robert Lee developed and served sticky toffee pudding at hisSharrow Bay Country House Hotel in the Lake District, north west England, in the 1970s
Thanks for sharing these yummy food from Manchester. Looking forward to the Sunday roast with Yorkshire Pudding 😁
As someone has pointed out, steak and kidney pudding is made with suet pastry and steamed. Pies, which I prefer and are probably more common, are made with shortcrust pastry and oven baked. If you're not too keen on kidneys, there are many alternatives, e.g. steak and ale, minced beef, chicken and mushroom. Bangers and mash are definitely comfort food, but watch out for poor quality sausages. Great to hear North Americans speak well of sticky toffee pudding, the British equivalent of pecan pie and equally morish.
Love your vids! Always interesting! keep it up. Love from England :)
You went to Wetherspoons.... mash is frozen, cod is frozen, gravy is frozen, peas are frozen, chips are frozen
And the ice in the cola cola is frozen!!! WTF ...
Ginger can you give us a link to the proof of your statement please,many thanks👍
@Ginger Good that the owner is pro-Brexit and i expect you can find just about anti-everything discussions going on in pubs... good free speech and discussing all of the issues.
Bottom line, food is shite.
Von Splatterblast: Mine have always been piping hot. You either want to complain to the management or try another Wetherspoons. Anyway, what do you expect for the price? - The Ritz?
Should try Beef wellington, toad in the hole and scouse from Liverpool.
Only fault is everyone in Liverpool has their own recipe for Scouse so nobody knows traditional Scouse
@@LotarL31 Traditional Scouse was made with Lamb,but you are right,there must be hundreds of peoples own version. Originated in Scandinavia. I`m a Born Scouser by the way.
Yeah, Wellington! This is the word I keep on forget and I actually was trying to taste it.
I cannot go all the way to England just to try this dish...well, that is why I would hope to try it as close as I can find....thanks.
Really difficult to find a decent restaurant in Liverpool that makes traditional scouse funnily enough, best way to eat scouse is from someones home.
@@sparkandflame Your`e right there Krissy.
I can recommend Cumberland Sausage. Large, thick slightly spicy sausage best served in a coil as it is rather long. you might try it with mashed potatoes and pickled red cabbage - bon apetit
As a proud Cummerlan, I can attest to the fine standing of the Cumberland Sausage. Nice with some Cumberland Sauce too.
I had sausage and mash with fried onions last night. Certainly worth trying..
I love how you just explore the area
Awesome video both, great tour of Manchester and loved your food tasting! You can’t beat bangers and mash! Sounds as if you’re having a great time here in GB, best wishes, Elaine & Simon 👍
Thanks guys!!
Sticky toffee pudding was invented in a pub in the Lake District in the UK.
I love watching your videos but I do have to say that you two are genius at finding the most expensive places or options.
Glad you liked our food love yours I live in the US 😀
I'd hate you to think that you need to pay so much for sticky toffee pud! I'm afraid you just picked somewhere expensive. You can get it for half that price! Great vid.
"is it kidney from a meat animal?" 😂😂😂😂
Or the bean animal?
Americans don't use that much offal, so a reasonable question.
@@colinmoore7460 more fool them
A very strange question, indeed.
Great video! Everything looked delicious! 😋👍🏻
It was. We left Manchester full and happy. :) -Ash
Sticky toffee pudding is literally my favourite dessert.
So pleased you trusted your big city instincts and moved the car. I am from Liverpool and have similar instincts. They have stood me in good stead. In the little towns and villages though you never have to worry really apart from keeping things out of sight of gypsys.
Hey guys I just wanna say u guys make a cute couple Wich is the main reason peaple subscribing to you and the way how u guys are optimistic all the time it just made my day ure the best keep up
Thank you so much Dennis! We love that we get to share the world with others. -Ash
So true. When I visit the States it’s always the positivity that makes an impression and this couple are a great example. The fact that she’s mega hot makes it even better 😁
Thanks for your show glad you liked your food and the weather was good
So glad you're enjoying the ales, the English never get enough respect for our beer 😂
Love your clips guys x
Thanks for doing this video on British classics. I love all three of those, but you certainly found expensive versions (and neither the steak and kidney pudding nor the sticky toffee pudding looked great examples - the bangers and mash looked typical of pub bangers and mash; you're right, home made should be better, depending on whose home!!!)
I'm a Manc girl 😁 I love are city i have the bee tattooed on my hand r.i.p to all that lost there lives in the Manchester bombing 😢
Sausage quality can run from very low to very high in the UK, just as a warning.
Also the UK does stodge pretty well.
Yep we eat a lot of stodge im with you
These two are a fun couple. I enjoyed the video. All the food looked good I have eaten each of those and love them
These traditional dishes are from a time when people needed to eat more to keep warm. In the days of central heating they are more likely to put weight on you if you ate them every day.
Pie is in a flour based pastry and tends to be drier/flakier, pudding is with suet based pastry and steamed as you said.
People laugh about English cuisine but for comfort food in cold winters we have some gems
I swear I’ve never been in Manchester on a sunny day . Lucky guys !
Sticky toffee pudding is probably my favourite dessert. Another great british dessert is apple crumble. In regards to fish n chips the best are from the chippys on the coast. For obvious reasons.
Oohhh I don’t think I’ve heard of the apple crumble! And thanks for the tip!
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh glad to help! Apple crumble is usually eaten with custard or cream and can be found in a lot of pubs. Me, well people think I'm weird because I have evaporated milk on mine 😂
Rhubarb crumble with custard is great. Also another British dessert to try is banoffee pie - bananas, cream, and toffee in a crushed biscuit and butter base.
It's very easy to make also.
Stop, do you want them to get fat?
I wouldn't have paid those prices for those dishes, but they looked like good examples. The cream on the Sticky Toffee Pudding looked like clotted cream (cream which has been cooked extremely slowly). I've not seen that combination before but absolutely love clotted cream, so no complaints here. :-)
It was so so yummy!! :) 10 outta 10 -Ash
The second pub where you had the steak pudding was Mr Thomas's Chop House on Cross Street, not particularly known for cheap food !
Manchester has a great music history- The Smiths, The Stone Roses, The Happy Monday’s, Buzzcocks, Oasis, Joy Division, New Order....
So cool!
The Fall! Heathen.
How about The Hollies, 10CC, Herman's Hermits, Davy Jones and many more. The world didn't begin in the 90s ypu know! 😉
@@eviltwin2322 ...but only one of the band's the OP mentioned started in the 90s.
@@sirperybLakeney Don't try and confuse things by throwing facts into the mix! 🙂
Can't wait to travel to England to try these .. Ashley was practically drooling over the sticky toffee pudding 😀
I know it looks SO GOOD (and tasted good)
Great stuff guys! By the way, the bee reflects the hard-working nature of people in the city during the Industrial Revolution. However, it became the fully adopted symbol of the city after the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester in May 2017, where 23 people (including children) lost their lives and many others were injured. A truly shocking event but one that drew the city together to support those affected.
Oh wow I didn’t know the full history behind it. Thanks Matt!
Peaceful, industrious, community focused, but not to be messed with!
Saves me typing that out! As a mancunian I'm biased but it's such a great city.
A bee was the symbol of Manchester way before the bombing. It's been on lamposts, bins, etc, for decades.
@@BurnCKC yeah that's what they said lol, thanks for repeating it
When my daughter went to school in the UK ..... her friends asked her all the time for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or Annie,s....... so she would bring back a suitcase full..... and they loved the instant mashed potatoes in the cups...
Sticky toffee pudding. Hmm yum! Has to be with hot custard though for the perfect combination.
Top 3 british foods to eat as an English person, 1. Sunday Roast / 2. Cottage Pie / 3. Fish and Chips (cooked in beef dripping)
I’m so glad you enjoyed Manchester, my home town.
😆We really did. -Ash
I want to taste them 😛 those look like very delicioussss😍
They are! Maybe you can make one at home. -Ash
We live 20 miles from Manchester so welcome guys 👍 love your vids
I really love that your drinking proper beers and not lager rubbish , and I adore your appetite :)
The best food is often off the beaten track. Less expensive and normally made on site rather than some places that buy them in and heat them up.
Also sticky toffee pudding is great with custard.
The reason that your beer wasn’t highly carbonated is because, as you mentioned, it was from a hand pump which only uses air pressure to upload it into the glass so you only get the natural flavour unlike the “button” pump which uses carbon dioxide to dispense the beer and taints the flavour. Most draught beers are hand pumped so always go for those to get the best flavour.
I come from a small town that is well known for brewing and beer isn’t called on tap it’s called on pump but where I’m from not sure bout the rest of the rest of the uk
i work in a pub its just depends on the type of beer if its a lager its on tap as its carbonated if its an ale then its on pump as its served flat and its pumped of course by hand too.
Steak and kidney pudding not cooked at home much anymore but is one of my favourites. Suet crust delicious
I love Bangerz and mash and my first time trying it is when I went to London which makes it even more special.
Oh yeah! Perfect time for it!
WAY AWAY it’s 2 AM here in Los Angeles I’m looking online trying to figure out where I can get Bangerz and mash tomorrow .
OMG 🤤😴 sorry to have done this to you.
London is renowned through out the uk for overcharging, when i last went the food was twice the price and not good.
The food seems to be delicious !!!! nice video :-)
It really was! Thanks so much Christian TESS
Ash, loved your hairstyle! ❤
I think you've got it right guys! try everything on the plate together :) sticky toffee pudding is great but amazing when tasted with vanilla ice cream, fish and chips are nothing without salt and vinegar (to taste of course)
Free street parking is up to 2 hours, you can pay for more in car parks. For a lot of cities, it's easier to use the park and ride or get the train in and use buses or trams.
You should check out Chester a roman walled city, you can walk the walls.. 💗
Puddings are made with suet.which is boiled or steamed in a saucepan it is soft and sponge like not like regular pastry.
Steak and kidney pie is made with paisley steak and kidney pudding is made using suet which i think is scraped from sheep’s stomach it’s the same stuff as you find in dumplings that you get in a proper beef stew
steak and kidney pudding is known as "babies head" in some parts of northern england
Yet it more like babies bottom : )
recipes from the 1800,s said the pudding needed to be roughly the size of a babies head to feed a family of four according to somethingi read or saw on tv a while ago. deffo called babies head in my area or twins if you have two of them on your plate.
I have to add this story, whilst I am a Brit I lived in the U.S. for many years. On one occasion I was staying near London and the English family announced that tonight we are going to have a proper English meal, so off to the local chip shop, we went. The owner a very friendly Greek. my friend ordered Rock and chips, I was a little confused as that is not something found in other parts of England. I asked the Greek what type of fish it was "Oh it's rock cod (dogfish) imported from New England" LOL.
Glad u liked sticky toffee pudding it's the best right? :)
A few other dishes you could try are "Toad in the hole", a plate of Liver and Onions and Welsh Rarebit. Welsh rarebit is NOT cheese on toast! Every traditional butchers shop takes pride in making their own craft sausages, I've had sausages with chilli and chocolate, others with marmalade and of course "pork and leek". Try traditional beef sausages if you see an old fashioned butchers.
Yum Yum Yummmm How are you supposed to do anything other then eat in the UK??? -Ash
In Lymington Hampshire on the edge of the New Forest any deer that are accidently killed or culled are used to make Venison sausages.
They are out of this world!
Daniel Gardecki You left out a vital ingredient then .....
That was really expensive. I wouldn't pay that much for food of that kind.
Ales in England tend to be cask-conditioned which means they are unpasteurised and unfiltered straight from the brewery without any added gases. Glad you enjoyed your time in my hometown :)
I'm assumming the bangers & mash was with ONION gravy, which is traditional and adds so much flavour.
I live in Manchester and I could have taken you to same high-quality foods at a lot less in price. Isn't it always the way? Glad you enjoyed it. Much British food is comfort food, and is inoffensive, meaning you are more likely to enjoy it than hate it.
A Chicken Tikka Massala in Manchester 'curry mile' would have been a good call.
I heard Indian food is the national dish of Manchester. In Chicago, he have an area on the north side named Devon Ave. It our Little India. The area also has a large Russian Jewish and Middle Eastern population.
The best sausages are Cumberland and Lincolnshire sausages.
I loved the steak and kidney pudding I got at primary school. Usually commercial pies and puds use lamb or pork kidneys, but traditionally your supposed to use ox ( cows) kidneys.
Did you eat sausage rolls while you were there(in my country or where I live and born) because I recommend you having it
Jasygirl Crow sounds delicious
I love sausage rolls! And pasties! Sadly can’t get them here in Sacramento California.
Old fashioned British comfort food. Perfect for autumn/ fall in my opinion.
We agree!! -Ash
I highly recommend going out of city's and less tourist areas..... I do recommend West Sussex it's a mix of sea side and country there are also loads low priced restaurants....
You’ve really managed to pick the expensive places! I’d suggest that you say where you’re going for your next video and ask for suggestions. Also, do make sure you go to a “chippy” (fish and chip shop) and again, ask for suggestions, because some chippy’s are definitely awful! Love this video!
Sticky toffee pudding originates from Cartmel in the Lake District. This is where you want to try it.
The pastry surrounding that meat pudding is made out of flour and suet rather than flour and butter/marg.
I'm a life-long Anglophile and I have tasted Steak & Kidney (pie) one time only. And to me the taste of the kidney only reminded me of the smell of wee. XD #nothanks lol
I’m british and I agree. Kidney is mostly eaten by old people.
Oh gross! Thanks for the heads up! Never ate a kidney, never will now.
Justin Time I’m 31 now, and I don’t ever remember kidney ever being on the menu at school, and it’s not on the menu at my sons school either. So it may not have been served for quite a while. I’ve been to school in Scotland and the North East of England, so maybe it’s a regional thing and it’s just not as popular here? I actually find it interesting that it was once served at school, so thanks for letting me know, I think I’ll ask some of my family members about it and their experience.
@@leea8706 I went to school in the north east in the 70s, and we had both steak and kidney pie and liver and bacon on our dinner menu.
Ah Manchester---only time Ive been was for a Pink Floyd concert at Maine Road in 1988---great place--good curries---crowd right up for it---maybe I should revisit see whats going down these days
Hmmn traditional peas..Lovely
My mother, and many other people, used milder lamb kidneys for the steak and kidney pie.
You two seem very approachable and friendly. I just found a channel and I’m very curious- how you started your travels, for how long, and where are you from? 😊
Can tell you went to a wheterspoons there. Best UK pub chain we have defo!
"It arrived 5 minutes after we ordered it so you know it's been out there cooking for hours and just waiting for us". Yeah - cos the microwave oven hasn't reached Manchester yet.
Yep always best to make it yourself, especially steamed puddings.
Manchester, UK,my home town. Going back for a visit in 2020
I love that I'm not the only one whom aren't crazy about peas. Not a fan of green beans and those greeny beans that are popular in salads. But those dry beans that (brown and white beans) I love.
