What is your favorite dessert? Jon says cake, Laura says ice cream. We also wanted to add that we know that you use WAY more than we did but we didn't know if we would like it, and also we wanted to taste the puddings themselves since it was our first time. Also, we were being conservative because we only have that 1 can and wanted to add it to some other things. Hope that all makes sense. WE HAVE AN UPDATE> WE SINCE TRIED THIS AGAIN> ua-cam.com/video/z4l8A0fNgRM/v-deo.html
Rhubarb and ginger crumble with custard.
I'm not a big dessert fan, but I would say cake WITH ice-cream. AKA and Arctic Roll. Do you have Arctic Roll where you are?
Trifle my fave always has been lol strawberry jelly custard n whipped cream beautiful 😋
Tiramisu - I have made all sorts of varieties.
my ultimate favorite desert... the one above all those i like is hard to choose... but if i had a choice then it would be walnut cream cake with vanilla and honey ice-cream
You have to remember these versions are the cheapest versions available. If you order any of these in a restaurant they will be 100 times better. Particularly sticky toffee pudding.
I want to come and have it at a restaurant for sure! I can just imagine!
Definitely try to make it at home..it’s far superior..Nigella Lawson does an amazing one... Kipling is a big brand but not necessarily good. ..🏴🇬🇧♥️
Or even an expensive brand bought at supermarkets are very good
Our syrup is Lyle's which comes in a green can, it's very similar to maple syrup but it's a thicker, sweeter consistency made from refined cane sugar. They have been making it since 1885 and are in the Guiness Book of Records as having the oldest recognised marketing design in their cans. Syrup sponge pudding should be served with lots of custard as it can be too sweet on its own. You'll find there's little rivers of syrup running through the custard making it even more delicious. Bear in mind the ones you have are the bottom price point of the market you'll understand why us Brits love our puddings.
Golden Syrup was also a mistake: it is a waste product (or was considered so at the time) of the refining process. Someone at Lyle's tasted it out of curiosity and the rest is history.
Here in the UK, never go to the supermarket hungry...the options are almost endless when it comes to high quality food
My gosh! I think we will need to bring several empty suitcases when we come for a visit!
Try them all with vanilla ice cream, the cold is a nice contrast with the hot dessert.
its nice but too dry with ice cream …. can’t beat custard
I actually think that I would like that better. I think I would really love the custard by itself with bananas like a few have suggested. That is why we had to conserve the custard! So many things to try! x
@@loveandjunkfood ,, if u think this is pretty good, wait til u try Xmas pud 😋 a million levels of ultimate scrummy for every taste,, but the best bit is how u mellow it and what with,, and believe me there is ALOT,, brandy cream,, brandy butter, Ice cream, clotted cream, Grand Marnier cream,, squirty pattiserie cream,, Kirsch infused Black Cherries,, you can douse it n flambé it !! Wow ! It's a delight you'll think of all year ! 🎅🏻🥳
I work as a chef in a home for the elderly. I gave them banana and custard the other day. Simple, but they enjoy it.
@@loveandjunkfood Golden syrup or light treacle is a thick amber-coloured form of inverted sugar syrup made by the process of refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. But yes we do put golden syrup on our pancakes
Homemade sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream is my favourite , love it when Laura says shut up! when she likes something , golden Syrup is amazing in homemade flapjacks x
Sticky toffee pudding or hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream is amazing x
I've had sticky toffee pudding at restaurants a couple of times which were so good it made me want to weep! 😀 I like it best with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream and some fresh strawberries on the side.
Agreed. I’ve offered to marry the chef at times. Just doesn’t compare with the shop bought stuff.
My Dad (miss you Dad) we would have hot custard double (heavy) cream and ice cream on a desert. The mixture of hot cold and room temperature was outstanding.
Hi Richard! Extra hugs this weekend, I understand! x And yummmm
Golden syrup is a light treacle made from inverted sugar syrup not to be confused with corn syrup. Invented by chemists Tate and Lyle in 1885 in London. It is now made by American company Sugar refining under the Tate and Lyle brand. It is found in some Trader Joes and Walmart.
Golden syrup in porridge 👍🏼
Us Brits put custard on nearly every dessert. It needs to be hot and poured over at least half of the sponge puddings or apple pies, Jam Roly Poly, Spotted Dick, apple & Blackberry Crumble etc. It’s not used to cover up anything, it just adds to it.
Apart from the ones you tried there are also Lemon sponge puddings, Raspberry sponge puddings and other flavours too.
Yeah for sure. I wasn't saying that you use it to cover anything up. I was saying that it would be great for that. Kind of like when a cake here is plain or dry, we would add something else. We did warm it up but just wanted to taste it as we didn't know if we would like it. Thank you Philip! We can not wait to try them all!
That's right, we love sauces. Custard or cream on desserts that may not really need it. Also gravy (not made with milk) on roast dinners. We love curries and stews too.
Don't worry about the expiry dates they are just a guide. Foods are good for another couple or 3 weeks after expiry dates.
Especially true with food containing lots of sugar (which is basically a preservative, hence jam).
Ref dates
Best before is just a guideline so won’t harm you if dates go past
Use by is just that . Use by that date
@@evar7816 Even a 'use by' can be used after that date. Just use your eyes and nose first and a little common sense.
FYI from UK, Our Christmas Pudding (made with suet and dried fruit such as raisins AND currents soaked in alcohol) includes chopped and ground almonds.
Golden syrup is a light coloured treacle.
In fact some parts of the UK call it treacle.
PS. They're steamed puddings so served hot.
You can have a steak with or without a sauce, same goes with puddings and sweet pies.
The most popular pudding sauce is custard, then double cream.
You need to put the puddings in a bowl and pour a bucket load of custard over the pudding, dipping a piece in a little side of custard doesn't do them justice
For us, we wanted to taste and review the puddings which is why we chose to eat it like that plus, we needed enough for a few different videos BUT, stay tuned a new custard video will be up in a few days. Where we are taking everyone's advice :)
Cartmel sticky toffee pudding is one of the best 😋 bake in the oven and the toffee sauce soaks through the pudding (still leaves a lot of sauce though). Cartmel is a village in the Lake District
Hi Charlie! Thank you so much! We are now addicts and HAVE to make it from scratch!
Well it was invented in the Lake District at the Sharrowbrae Hotel. ..🏴🇬🇧
sticky toffee pudding with Pecans is the way to go
I feel like a proud father here 😃 love these puds.
Awe! They were so awesome! xx
Love your video eating British puddings. Glad you loved them. It's even better with hot homemade custard. Custard must be served piping hot. Delicious with Apple and rhubarb crumble.
If you can get some Christmas pudding this year ,I am sure you will love them.
So glad you enjoyed them. Try Mary Berry recipes for classic English desserts and cakes.
Sticky toffee pudding is at the top tier of British cuisine (along with Yorkshire puddings, which funnily enough are completely unrelated). They were the dessert course at the previous two weddings I've attended and I know quite a few people who, if you asked their favourite dessert, would say sticky toffee pudding 100%.
Golden syrup is also called Treacle, its a bi product from refining sugar.
A pudding is steamed, not baked. This means they're heavier and moister than most regular sponge cakes. They're pretty easy to make and home-made is much better than those packaged ones - so worth a go if you want them at home.
This. I was going to post similar so I'm re-enforcing this comment. Easy to make, way superior. While you're at it, find recipes for proper custard and use farm eggs if you can find them.
I am a chef from the UK ( and lives/works in the UK ) sticky toffee pudding is a great thing but you have 2 remember when you eat it your teeth will instantly rot and the roof of your mouth will melt ! but hey nice ether way lol
Sticky toffee pudding is my favourite i don't add custard though as not that keen on it, but i do love ice cream with these puddings or cakes, great video!
I think I would LOVE them with ice cream!
@@loveandjunkfood Yes definitely try them with ice cream as well its delicious
Please, never use that fake stuff in can.
If you ever visit the UK visit the little village of Cartmel in the Lake District in North West England as that is where it is said that Sticky Toffee Pudding was invented. They have a little race track and all the winning owners get a pudding as part of their prize.
Oh wow! That sounds fantastic!
Sticky toffee pudding originated from Cartmel in Cumbria (The Lake District). This is where you will get the very best.
Had all of them everyone was amazing with Birds custard, really need to pour the custard all over them ,🇬🇧👍
I love all of these. I couldn’t pick a favourite x
Hi Vicky! My gosh! What have we been missing?! xxx
@@loveandjunkfood you need to try mr Kipling lemon sponge dessert xxx
You can also have these with cream or vanilla ice cream
Yeah these are what we call steam pot puddings 😋😋
Sticky Toffee Pudding is the favourite in my household with some honeycomb ice cream or toffee ice cream on the side
I eat sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, good video.
I like your pancakes analogy. Had them in New England. It does give an American a fair impression of what to expect. By the way. Try all of those with a big dollop of Cornish clotted cream, if you can get it. Roddas, Trewithen Dairy are two good ones. Cold cream with hot pudding. Great
Mr Kiplin does make exceedingly good cakes.
Sticky toffee pudding and ice-cream is absolutely heaven
Its better to use a spoon for puddings, usually layered thick in custard. it goes back to school dinners.
I make a mean golden syrup pudding and apple and blackberry crumble which are family favourites. Looks like you need to try jam roly poly next :)
Growing up i loved Lyles Golden syrup on buttered white bread, but my favourite was lyles Golden syrup on buttered Warburton toasted bread. Heaven.
i used to put it on yorkshire pudds
my dad used to make those sandwiches for my kids - they have always been known in our house as 'sticky stuff sandwiches'. delish!
@@arcturus8218 Absolutely...me too 😂♥️
Packaged puddings? You’ve got to be kidding! The best way to taste these is to MAKE them
Oh we will be. These were sent to us as a gift from our subscribers so of course we wanted to try them.
Treacle sponge and custard is my favourite. Treacle tart is also very good. Quiet new to your channel, been binge watching your vlogs
Hi Valerie! Welcome! Thank you so much! New UK video today :)
You cant beat a nice heavy pudding that sticks to your ribs😊
Mary Berry has a yummy recipe for sticky toffee pudding and by changing up a few ingredients it makes a yummy iced ginger cake both amazing hot with ether custard or vanilla ice cream 😋
definitely better with custard and traditional to pour it over the pudding (not just a little bit) great winter dish
Bread and Butter pudding with white vanilla chocolate and bourbon custard ( UK Chef James Martin recope )
My grandma was adopted late in life. IDK how, but she knew about warm puddings on cake. She made something called 'white sauce' poured hot over scratch chocolate mayonnaise cake! Yum. And at school for lunch we had warm lemon curd on scratch lemon cake. I still make both of these today. Any sauce on cake, Count Me IN! Tonight? fresh raspberries macerated on top of frozen vanilla custard scoop and for me, the chocolate with raspberry. Yes, the kids are gone and it's time for something a little 'special'. Yum!
Good way to make these home made is to add a spoon of the syrup, toffee or chocolate in the bottom of a microwaveable mug about half a tablespoon put cake mix ontop and cook in the microwave. Tap them out ontop a dish cover in custard. Great with jam in the bottom as well about a heaped teaspoon is enough.
Now that's what i'm talking about i love eating stuff like this specially custard i literally warm it up and eat it as it is its so nice and actually easy to make from fresh it can be put on any desert its great on apple crumble i guess with desserts you could have with custard or ice cream but i do prefer custard, Unsure about America but in the UK as children at school there was a mint custard served on chocolate sponge cage and omg it was like heaven i'm pretty sure its not available now because this was years ago and only available for school so no one could buy it but there is recipes online on how to make the same mint custard. Golden Syrup is thick, sweat and sticky it can be used in a couple of applications really like on pancakes or porridge.
The easiest way to explain golden syrup is to think of it as a kind of light molasses.
As you guessed, these desserts all work great with ice cream too. The contrast between hot & cold works really nicely.
🇬🇧 To us in the UK those puddings you tried are just quick pudding meals bought from the supermarket. You should try and make them yourself then you would really be talking british puddings. Tinned custard 🤮 the best custard is Birds Custard Powder made with milk, very easy to make. A lot of British people love custard especially the older generation who used to get served pudding & custard as part of their school meals. If you ever come to the UK try and visit The Pudding Club in Derbyshire, they get booked up a year in advance it’s that good.
Each of those - homemade - are amazing. Btw - sticky toffee pudding generally contains dates. Yummy.
We can't wait to try our hand at making some!
I love Golden Syrup on pancakes so you're not being offensive at all! Although homemade is best, these Mr Kipling puddings are still very nice for a reasonable price 😁 glad you both liked them!
M&S have a date sticky toffee pudding which is just divine. might have to buy some tomorrow 🤔
The base of a traditional sticky toffee pudding IS DATES. 😂👍🏴🇬🇧
As kids we had pudding like this at school and we used to get this in a tin you had to boil the tin for a long time . Golden syrup is like a treacle .
I love sticky date pudding with custard and ice cream
Syrup sponge is my favourite of those, though sticky toffee pudding is a close second.
It is traditional to have custard in England just like you have pie and ice cream
If you ever do come over here, base yourself in Birmingham, here you will be able to enjoy a trip to Cadbury World at Bournville, then a couple of miles away is the Balti triangle, a Birmingham invention of Asian origin. You could see the original Birds custard factory, about 1 mile from the Balti area, but now has street food stalls inside, where you can get burgers, wraps, jerk produce and desserts of all sorts.
Just had that very Kipling sponge in a bowl smothered in custard, Squirty cream and topped with Hundreds and Thousands
Yummy (All after a Roast Sunday dinner)
Golden syrup is kinda like a light molasses, but with steamed puddings you could replace it with your favourite jam (jelly) you could even try maple syrup. Custard with everything though
Golden syrup is quite an old fashioned ingredient. It traditionally is used in a sponge pudding, but also for drizzling on pancakes (crepes), on porridge and used in other baked goods. All of which go really well with vanilla ice cream. As do the other puddings you tried. I think if you ate a full portion you would want the custard, ice cream or fresh cream.
You should google golden syrup and the best pre made STP is made by the Cartmel Bakery. They both may be available to buy. Enjoy.
I have to say us Brits make good puddings.
Good one you definitely got to try and making your own one
Mary berry recipe on UA-cam there should be one
Oh nice, thank you!
Golden syrup ore / treacle is inverted sugar is made by refining sugar chain with a typ of acid
I would say try with Birds custard or vanilla ice cream and pour the Custard over the pudding, I recommend you buy a can of tate and lyle golden syrup
Custard makes it better for me. Nuts sounds interesting.
Have you ever had chocolate pudding, like you tried, with Guinness? they go together well
Golden Syrup, Treakle and Molasses are all made in the refining process of sugar.
Golden syrup is a bit like honey but is a manufactured with the sugar being drawn from sugarbeet under heat and pressure
Remember ice cream and whipped cream geos well with these puds too
You need a tin of Lyles golden syrup.
Making it yourself (or getting it from a restaurant) would be way better. The Kipling ones are fine if you are in a hurry (and I eat them myself), but if you make it yourself you will taste the difference. Personally I don't eat them with custard, but icecream can be good if the pudding is hot enough.
If you like the golden syrup one, try a Rum Baba or a Caribbean ginger rum cake.
Don't be too concerned about the expiry date on items from Europe. The dates here are actually 'best before' dates, which are not the same thing as an expiry date (you get extra time before they actually expire)
I add a teaspoon of golden syrup to my freshly made pan of tomato soup. It adds a little sweetness and tastes great.
Really? Thanks for sharing! We love to hear little tips and tricks like that!
Tries sticky toffee pudding: has an out of body experience.
We've all been there, guys, we've all been there.
Golden syrup was originally made to use up byproducts from sugar processing (as marmite was from the brewing process).
Those cheap longlife puddings arent as nice as fresh but they can happily sit in the cupboard for months waiting for that moment when one fancies a little something sweet. The ones with sauce don't necessarily need anything extra.
Golden syrup is my favourite. We don't use custard as a cover up, more an addition, as they go together like, say, bacon and eggs.
Yes, for sure. I think that came out wrong. I was saying that on a moist cake, (like these are) it can enhance, but if there were to be a whoopsie in the kitchen or let's say get something store bought that was less than desirable, I'm sure that would make that go away!
On yes, definitely. Got to have something moist with a dry cake/pudding ☺
My favourite is sticky toffee pudding with caramel ice cream
US custard (tastes more of eggs) it is so different from our custard in UK (creamy and sweet). Ice cream is good with these deserts too. Like most have mentioned these are not as good as homemade/restaurant made ...
Golden syrup is the British version of maple syrup.
Love Golden Syrup it's basically melted caramelised sugar. I wouldn't have the chocolate with custard I would always have chocolate with cream or ice cream.
Chocolate with ice cream sounds just how I would want it! I love the difference in temperature and texture!
@@loveandjunkfood Yes warm chocolate and ice cream is delicious.
Treacle sponge or Syrup sponge is my fave too but the others are tied, I think you need the cream/custard to lessen the sweetness of the puds though. That may just be that I don't have a sweet tooth preferring savoury, and we've been brought up to eat it that way.
Golden Syrup is really simple to make, there are lots of UA-cam videos on how to make it. If you chose to have custard with any of these desserts the idea is to pour it over them, if you like custard - just keep pouring. Ice cream is also good with any of them.
My favorite dessert is pavlova with lots of fresh fruit and cream
I love these puds but apart from the golden syrup I prefer double pouring cream on them also birds powdered custard make it up yourself
The sticky toffee pudding and golden syrup puddings are too sweet for me but the chocolate pudding I like with custard. Custard isn't a saviour it's just something we have with a pudding. My favourite is apple pie and custard. Good review!!
Golden Syrup is also known as Treacle in the UK, so if you ever come over and see Treacle Tart or Treacle Pudding you will know what it is. At least us Brits can still get something right!
AHHHH! Thank you! Good to know. You get a LOT of things right for sure! x
We get a LOT of things right..
Glad you liked these but you can’t beat a good home made sticky toffee pudding. Kipling ones are okay, but for me just if I’m being too lazy to bake one.
As I understand it that Golden Syrup comes from part of the sugar refining process from both Sugar Cane and Sugar Beets . It is a light treacle (you would call treacle "molasses"), Light treacle however is more refined and has a very different flavour.
I am not personally a fan of custard, and I agree with the person who suggests having it with vanilla ice cream.... but I would suggest making sure it is a good quality ice cream though.
Sticky toffee pudding and vanilla ice cream is the king of desserts. The only thing I've tried that even comes close to rivalling it is gulab jamun - an Indian dessert made from deep fried dough made of milk solids and then coated in a rose and jasmine syrup.
Sugar, water, and a slice of lemon are all you need to make homemade Golden Syrup.
Try warm apple pie with custard
Hot cake with ice cream...cold cake with hot custard (half a tin each)😁🍰😷
My Aunt puts walnuts in her sticky sauce UK x
the best pudding/dessert is apple crumble. Golden syrup sponge is a very close second. Homemade as waaaaaaaaay better by the way, but for convenience sake, the shop versions are ok.
For context, 'pudding' used in the traditional meaning as here, means 'steamed or boiled' so its not technically a cake how you think of it, because it isnt baked. And Golden Syrup is like a 'very light' molasses sugar syrup, and it comes in cans. Its funny you say it reminds you of pancakes, because thats a favourite for putting on them in the UK, in addition to being a common baking ingredient.
That's great! I'm glad the pancakes was a good way to describe. Unfortunately, we struggle describing things to those that may have never tried things before. We know that if we are trying things from the UK, that we are not describing it to you all but more for others, and man is that tough! But, I love how you describe it here as it makes complete sense.
Omg , puddings with custard is just my favourite thing! I got so excited when I saw you were trying puddings! I also want to add that I like how you try things without acting all silly, I just watched a video with a family spitting UK food out ( just regular biscuits, chips etc ) it’s refreshing to see you tasting our stuff and enjoying it!
Oh and I agree with everyone saying that you need to pour the custard over the puddings!
Hi Ella! Thank you! For our first time, we wanted to try the actual puddings since they were the star of this video and we REALLY loved them! Plus, we wanted to go light on the custard for a few upcoming videos. Stay tuned...I think we will have to order more! xx
@@loveandjunkfood I understand with saving the custard. It’s not easy to find over there. I lived in Vermont and Pittsburgh for 6 years. I enjoyed trying USA foods too.
Ella I agree. I think I saw that video, it was awful watching them do that. Some reactors have an opinion of our food before they even try it. Love and Junk get it though. They love our food and don’t treat it as a challenge
Sorry guys, you need an homemade pudding, those pot ones are just not up to scratch 😱 a steamed golden syrup pudding is light and oh so gooey served warm with either vanilla ice cream or custard. Hot chocolate fudge cake and pouring cream is just delicious and as for an homemade sticky toffee pudding served with hot vanilla custard 😍🥰
All those puddings can be served with cream or icecream
One of my favourite versions of sticky toffee pudding is actually an "americanised" version from Pitt & Cue; made by cooking the dates/prunes in coke as the base of the cake, and then incorporating bourbon into the sauce. It's so good I cooked it as a christmas treat for my colleagues at work, and immediately got about 15 orders for it for people's Christmas dinners! Here's the recipe: spicyicecream.com.au/2015/08/sticky-date-bourbon-and-cola-pudding/
Golden syrup in Canada is a corn syrup. It's a golden colour.
Years ago there use to be something similar to those here. It was a
Sauce n Cake Sponge Pudding Mix (Hot Caramel). It was like a magic cake. You put the ingredients in without mixing and it turns into cake with sauce. It was so yummy but unfortunately the company that made them (Dr. Oetker) discontinued them.😥
you don't usually put Custard on the puddings you had, as they already have a sauce. you would put Custard on Spotted Dick, Jam Roly-Poly and fruit pies. cold Custard is also good on tinned fruit in the summer.
