See you all in Edinburgh tomorrow! Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss it!
👌👌
So cool watching you guys do stuff in my Country that I think we take for granted..look forward to Edinburgh ..I've never been to Scotland
Stoppping off in Preston for a KFC. Living the dream. But you'd have enjoyed a stop off in Birmingham for a proper curry more.
You should have tried fell running.
Coincidentally the first English KFC you tried was also the first ever KFC to open in England
Americans and cutlery, just what is it? LOL Glad you're enjoying your tour.
I always think that too!
It's easy, a fork is actually a mouth shovel! It's funny to watch when they do use a knife as well. They keep switching the knife and fork between hands, kind of like as juggler!
Yes, one of the things on which my oldest son commented when we moved to live for six yrs in the US was that he thought his roomies at his school used knives and forks as if they were three-year olds. They were 11 at the time.
They are simply never taught how to use them ‘properly’ - and it’s tableware not cutlery 🤣
I know Americans cut up all their food first and then use only a fork but there is no need to handle the cutlery like a savage! Lol
You can't help but watch these videos with a smile on your face, they are a joy to watch.
exactly ... I smile all the way through, and on this particular one we were suddenly in Edinburgh and I realised the treat of the day was over ....
They are just a joy to watch. Lovely.
Agreed
Agree..absolutely love watching these two 😃
I love how they're appreciating everything, no complaining about train delays or the weather, just enjoying the experience.
The Lake District is stunning. There's a saying "If you can see the lake, it's going to rain; if you can't, it's raining!"
My mum told me all the puddles were the lakes when I was a kid
Two lovely lads with a good sense of humour and fun.Must have good parents to raise such nice boys.Oh and I also like mushy peas.
agree about the boys and their parents, but not about the mushy peas, sorry.
@@acommentator4452 I'm only one I know that doesn't like mushy peas.🤮 lol
Mushy Peas are the best!
I don't like peas (they taste of nothing) but mushy peas.. hells yeah!
the mushy peas taste better with vinegar IMO
Love seeing such polite Americans in my home (Lake District). Great content mate, keep it up
Hiya Peter, where are you from? I was born in Carlisle but now I live in Whitehaven
@@paulguise698 cockermouth, born in Liverpool. Member of Whitehaven golf club. Here right now 😂
Traditionally, a thick fog in London was called a pea-souper.
Because of the Coal Fire Pollution years ago London got the Nickname "The Smoke"!
Actually impressed by how much you're packing into this visit. I hope it hadn't gone too fast for you guys, and you've managed to make some great memories from it.
I definitely think him and Will,with a few others,will returning back to the UK in an extended trip asap(most likely,next year,if not sooner,funds permitting)! 👍👌
Joel, you could make a whole career making travel programmes. You are such a natural communicator, and your reactions to the sights you see and the people you meet are an absolute joy to watch. Thank you so much for sharing you experiences with us.
Fast food in the UK is far "better" for you than in the USA. I know it sounds ridiculous to say that but there are laws in the UK banning a ton of the additives and preservatives that are used in the US.
Yes,I believe Joel did do a reaction vid,where the fast food differences between USA and UK were discussed;and even he was slightly taken aback by the results! 😂👍
This is true. I was in New York recently and to me the McDonald's was disgusting, greasy and synthetic. I actually threw it up. The UKs are so much cleaner.
💯 correct 👍🏻
And its still shite
Incredibly well planned trip, so glad you’ve seen the Cotswolds and Lake District, even the British forget what we have here sometimes!
Really sweet your cousin Wendy and Colin picked you up and took you around. They seem like quality people!
Once you’ve shown all the videos from your trip, it might be nice to have you and Will do a sort of ‘reflections video’, where you both chat about the trip as a whole.
Yes that would be a great post, like you say after rush of it all has died down and has sunk in a bit.
Oh Joel, you really are 'packing it all in'. What an excellent first visit to the UK you're having... and as a bonus, a first time meeting with a cousin. Can't wait to carry on watching your UK adventures.
Your enthusiasm for things is so infectious! Those hills are amazing. The whole thing is just so interesting and the film is put together so well too. It looks a nice place to be.
Thanks so much!!
Hey man, am keeping up with your progress with baited breath... a full British experience, i.e. being baked to death one day, then frozen the next... then taking tea, and being delayed on the train... then a massive full english breakfast..... wow this is quintessentially English my friend!! polite people and wonderful scenery in Britain... post soon,
Bated breath
I genuinely thought the friend I had, who became a devout tory, would be the last person I would have to endure speaking of "taking tea". I mean, it's not fucking crack. 😂
Joel - I'm glad I stumbled across your channel! I love that you had a wait in Preston. I lived there for a bit!
If you’re ever sat there at home in years to come and contemplating British cuisine, please don’t judge us on the grounds of pea soup and corned beef.
We've enjoyed mushy peas, corned beef and pea soup for years in Australia. Mum fed us black pudding and tripe in the 1970s too, lol
They did judge and lapped every bit up, walked in shivering, wet and bedraggled had home cooked pea and mint soup with fresh baked rolls, you can see how it revived and nourished them.
I had black pudding and tripe in the 70s when my grandmother was alive...lots of rabbit
Your vlogs are great. What a first trip to England … seeing so much! Proud of you both :-) Looking forward to seeing the rest ….
Loving this series man. I think you should continue these kind of travel vlogs , honestly just a vibe and great content
More to come!
I agree
@@ItsJps are you going to do a round up vid with Will at the end to let us know your overall thoughts on the trip? Any more travels planned yet? 😉✈️
So many places in the world to see and do travel
Vlogs from. You should definitely do more as you are really good at it
These guys are really lovely, so polite and appreciative. It's a pleasure to watch these videos. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
Mushy peas with fish and chips is probably more of a Northern England thing - coming from Yorkshire we've always had them. You season them and the fish and chips liberally with salt and malt vinegar.
As someone who's grown up scouse and escaped to Lancashire and also spent time in Yorkshire, oh and was with someone from Newcastle for a bit... it's definitely a Northern thing.
Anybody who doesn't understand the appeal of mushy peas is strange.
Lesson one in English etiquette....learn the English way of holding a knife and fork...ha ha ha ha ha. Keep up the great work.
Was thinking exactly the same thing. They look so awkward bless them lol
When I watch people cutting, then changing hands to eat with the fork, I think, what a palaver!!
It ´s an american thing, they don ´t know how to use fork and knife, hamburger country
Yeah they just shovel it in with the fork
Not even English way just learn to use it as an adult 😂
Man your cutlery skills are shocking. 😂 So you ate the pea soup afterall. Looks like you enjoyed it. Wills jaw moving up and down in fast forward motion when he was eating is hilarious.
Cutlery skills to an American is like explaining quantum physics to a labrador. 😂 Bless'em
It’s not just Joel that’s how most Americans use them
European etiquette is the result of the major Royal families competing with each other to appear 'more refined'. The Russian Tsars (RIP) won and set the ultimate standard.
A good proportion of the working class (including my grandmother) were 'in service' to their Lords and Masters and aped their manners in the hope that their offspring would 'obtain a better position in society'.
Debretts is the international guide to etiquette and 'table manners' are available online. The American way of using their knife and fork is inefficient and weird considering their idea of a meal is to shovel it down as fast as possible rather than enjoy a relaxed feast with conversation. However, a 'refined' European will never object nor complain about the eating habits of foreign visitors; rather, they will observe the manners of their visitor and attempt to copy them to make them feel comfortable.
There is a well known story of Margaret Tebbit, paralysed by a bomb attack, attending a State Banquet. Prince Philip, famous for his faux pas, discarded his cutlery and ordered the following courses to be made into 'finger food'; that is how you treat a guest!
I still recall the first time as a teenager I was invited to an evening meal at my 'middle class' friend's home. His mother asked if 'Fish and Chips was OK'; expecting greasy stodge from the local chippy I was pleasantly surprised by nicely cooked breaded plaice and perfect potato chips. There followed a standoff; he was aware that I came from a 'working class' environment and waited for me to start eating whilst I, being taught exquisite manners by my aforementioned grandmother, waited for him to start.
@@TheAlanSaunders Nobody in Europe is going to attempt to copy that way of eating.
@@TheAlanSaunders And contrary to popular belief, the royals/aristocracy do not extend their pinky when drinking tea.
Hi Joel, Did you see William Wordsworth`s grave in Grassmere? You were right next to it in that church. Its no supprise it was raining in the Lake District, it`s the rainiest part of the UK.
I'm going to be a Grumpy Grannie here but when you ask for things I do wish you would say please and thank you. I've been to
the States lots of time and did notice that when I said please and thank you for things it was obvious that American servers don't hear it very often from locals.
I really enjoyed that. Cousin Wendy seems like a fun person. These vlogs are inspiring me to explore more of England outside of my "London bubble" ...
Go for it!
You really should. I've lived and worked in Essex, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and now West Sussex... And I've found great foods and beauty in all of them! :)
Just what I was thinking about Brighton. I need to explore.
I'm in the same boat, I never travel outside of the London bubble or the surrounding areas outside of London.
I have travelled to Cornwall, Wales and Ireland but nothing above Manchester, although technically travelling to these areas I visited the most popular places and actually know very little about how ordinary folk live in those areas.
I know more about continental Europe! Than I would my own country, I've always seen the UK as being bland since I live here but we have places like the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Eden project, Cornwall is a hidden gem and I'd like to see more of it than anywhere else in the UK.
@@delong8998 Cornwall a hidden gem?????? It is a gem but certainly not hidden. Oh how I wish it was!
The highest pub in England and the rest of the British Isles is actually the Tan Hill Inn (1,732 ft above sea level) situated in the North Yorkshire dales national park and it's just off what is known as one of the best driving roads in the UK, The Buttertubs Pass
I was going to say the same! I thought it was Tan Hill
I always thought it was the Cat and Fiddle in Derbyshire! LOL I understand that it's the second highest after the Tan Hill...
@@pauldenby878 when we had the last bad snow an oasis tribute band was stuck there. I'm from Yorkshire so that's the only reason I know you hear about it on the local news when the snow is bad!
@@kamc1959 I remember that, I’m hoping to get stuck there this year 🤣
@@twistedsister2568 Join the very long queue. Those winter lock ins with sleeping bags at Tan Hill are legendary. 🤣
Jeez JP, someone needs to show you how to use a knife and fork properly when eating your full English breakfast mate! 😬🤣🤣
Nothing worse than watching Americans try to use cutlery 🤣 once you've seen them unable to use both items at once and keep swapping hands like a child it's hard to unsee
Dude! You were in my home city, Preston!! If I’d known you were coming, I would’ve given you a lift! I have a place in the Lakes!
Thank you for taking us on your journey Joel, it's the first holiday I've had in years!!
My pleasure!
Why do Americans have difficulty using knives?. Enjoy your time here Joel, my country has some very special places to see and visit. By the way, I love mushy peas!!!
As a Londoner... I'll just say there's an art to it
I love how Joel instantly corrects himself, although if you say ‘cubes’, it’s ok.
They are 'sugar cubes'. Originally sugar came in sugarloaves and you had to break off small pieces with 'sugar nips; thus we still say the anachronistic "One lump or two"?
When you were in Birmingham, not far out the city centre is Cadbury World where there is a Cadbury factory you can walk around, they give you free chocolate, you see how it's made and the history, and you can make your own - next time when you visit 👍👍
Also interesting to read about Craig Gill you met on the train. He was heading to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham after Oregon….
Craig Gill will be representing Gibraltar at the Athletics World Championships in Oregon which takes place between JULY 15-24, 2022.
You guys are packing so much in on your visit to the UK. You seem to be loving all the places you visit. I'm so glad you love our country.
You literally drove past my apartment in Windermere! Glad to see you guys are enjoying yourselves! 🇬🇧
Except that you used the word "literally" genuinely and authentically, whilst Joel uses it as a filler word a little too often! Lol 😁
No black pudding on that beeakfast. I demand a second attempt Joel🤣
coming soon..
@@ItsJps awesome Joel. Been subscribed since the early days and loving seeing you over here. Waiting/hoping you made it to York. I'm only 30 miles from it and it's my favourite little City
I love that you've met up with people who've been able to drive you around! They've also been able to guide you around the complexities of tea making and show that some like mushy peas and others don't!!
Reading the comments, once the holiday/vacation vids are over, I challenge you to learn the UK way of using cutlery/silverware!! No hate, but the US way really does look awkward!!
Yes
Whenever I have had the chance to visit the English Lakes it has days which seem to cover all four seasons' weather inside 24 hours. Wordsworth and the other Lakeland poets garnered so much inspiration from the mists, the grey hills, and the juxtaposition of water, mountains, and ancient history. I think you might enjoy the movie Miss Potter, which includes a lot of great footage of the area whilst covering the affinity between the authoress of so many children's books and her love of the district. My youngest son has often said that the friendliness of the people of the area when his band played at the Keswick Music Festival one year was so overwhelming and honest that he and his 12-year old band mates stayed on for a whole week at local people's homes. It's great seeing it vicariously now through you two great youth ambassadors for your country.
Your cousin seems so lovely! I love her mixed American/English accent 🤣. I wonder how long she’s been living here.It seems you have had such a lovely time so far! Can’t wait for the next video x
Totally agree, I was surprised that she sounded so English infact! 😁 By the way we love Mushy peas with our Fish and Chips my hubby always puts a splash of vinegar in his ( we also like to dip our chips in curry sauce)! 😋
So nice to meet your cousin and her husband and it's comforting to know you have family here when your both so far from home, your both seeing some lovely places, will you be watching the England woman's football team later today?
He is back in the USA now
Nice to see you’re enjoying the British weather!😁😁😎😎🇬🇷🇬🇧
That was better. At least we saw some of the scenery and not just you two eating and drinking! You can eat and drink at home!
I couldn’t help notice you walking around “St Oswald’s church yard “ in Grasmere. William Wordsworth (Romantic poet) is buried here & the song “The Lakes” by Taylor Swift is a folklore song written about this - Have a listen 😀
The Lake District is so majestically stunning, its only 90-120mins drive away for me, I really should visit more - im glad you're enjoying the visit, for a small country there's so much to see and do
I visit the lakes a lot because I have a friend who lives there. It's the most dreary miserable place on earth.
Dale! Dale! Dale!
@@paulmartin3682 it is the wettest place in the country 😄
@@DMC888 the rain doesn't make it any less stunning.
The south east is turning into a dust bowl.
@@alistairthow1384 of course not. I was replying to the person that referred to it as dreary. I assume he doesn’t like the rain.
Hello to Wendy and David! Great video guys! X
There's only one Lake in the Lake District. The rest are Meres, Waters and Tarns. The only 'Lake' is Bassenthwaite (pronounced bass-enth-wait) Lake. Mere (shallow in comparison to size) and Tarn (pond) are Norse words.
I’m just happy for you. Seeing your reaction just makes me smile.
I felt kind of dizzy - overload, I guess, at the speed - watching this, but loving every minute. I'm watching these videos twice.
You definitely need warm clothes, a woolly hat and waterproofs 'just in case' in Northern England and Scotland, visiting at any time of the year really. In Summer it can be very warm, dry and sunny, but it can also be wet, cool and windy up here - all of the above in the same day, sometimes.
Round my neck of the woods (Sheffield) mushy peas isn't just an accompaniment to fish and chips, it also goes with meat and potato pie - and Henderson's Relish of course. It also often appears as one of the veg choices with a Sunday roast. Corned Beef in the UK isn't the same as Corned Beef in the US, in a sandwich it's probably better with some tomato on it or a smearing of brown sauce.
Tired and grumpy, that’s me every morning 🙈🤣🤣😎
Nooooooooooo…….you dodged the Black Pudding!!! Suppose I’ll have to wait till the Edinburgh video then.
I thought you might have joined up with some fell runners and done some fell running. Running up and down those hills a few times will build your stamina up! That was typical Lake District weather but glad it wasn’t too foggy/rainy so you couldn’t see anything!
Your cousin and her husband look lovely and you looked very at home in their company. I understand how tiring travelling can be, especially when you have to keep changing trains at different stations to get a connection but once you reached your destination all your stresses seemed to fade away.
Totally loving going on this daily journey with you and Will. Bring on Edinburgh tomorrow!😎👍🏼
I really hope someone in the UK has shown you how to use a knife and folk correctly. It’s not just you it’s seems Americans struggle to use a knife 😂 great video
That speed dining clip actually made me chuckle out loud. No internal humour there. It amused me and endeared me!!
Joel’s face at “Tomato something…” 😂
It’s an absolute must to have mushy peas with fish and chips
Geeez you are packing so much into a short time. I'm only ten years older but now I would need at least three days at every location to catch up on sleep and to not feel rushed. I used to tear through Amsterdam and Berlin onward to Prague, partying all the way. Now I'd like to do that partying but with a 2 day buffer zone to sit and read a book and eat.
Laughed at your cousin when she took the piss out of Will - "Stick your small finger out when you stir the tea " ROFLOL. Joel : you need some dining etiquette classes. You need to use your knife all the time actively when eating and there is no need to load the fork with a mixture of foods. Lay the fork and knife in line on the plate (at 12.30 ) to show you are finished lol.
As a Brit I love watching these videos to see your perspective on the UK. Keep them coming please!
Because traditional pea soup is made from yellow split peas and those horrendous London fogs were actually yellow from all the soot and sulphur from coal and coke burning.
It was good to see you in my neck of the woods...the North West of England and your stop off at Preston then up to The Lakes. Pity you didn't get more time to spend in The Lakes but looks like your cousin did a good job of showing you around. I was right in a previous comment when I saw the photo of you and Will outside the little house in Ambleside. Hope you both come back in the future and visit the North West again.
Just lovely watching you two on your trip here to the UK. Such nice lads 😊 You'll be making your families very proud - you're fun, respectful and helping us see our UK through new eyes. Your joy at seeing our rolling hills in Bath made me smile. Can't wait to see the rest of your adventures 🥰
I grew up in Carlisle, Cumbria, about 30 mins from The Lake District, so lots of trips to the lakes growing up. The weather you’re having is pretty standard (sorry), but when the sun shines, the scenery is just breathtaking. You’ve made me quite homesick. 😢
Really enjoying your enthusiasm for our country ,I live 12 miles away from Lake District and overlook the solway firth to Scotland ,best views ever ,look forward to Edinburgh vlog
I live in the Lake District and honestly I don’t think I’d trade it for anywhere 😂
next time in England 🤣👍go to Dorset it’s beautiful 🤩
I’ve never been so entertained by someone trying to pour a cup of tea and eat with a knife and fork. More travel vlogs!
Go Wendy!!!😃😃😃Your cousin is sooo kind - what a lovely tour and great places.
That's a good looking full English. You got lucky there. Great stuff as usual lads.
The breakfast looked great till you started messing about with it. Try eating it properly next time!
@@jillhobson6128 How lovely you are.
Oh man, there is a pub in Brotherswater, The Brotherswater Inn I believe, with a view on a day like today out of it's huge side window, that is just bliss as the light is fading, clouds rolling over the near vertical mountain face, a meal on the table and a pint of Stella on the side, real cosy...
Joel I can’t go a day without watching your videos buddy, it’s all so natural and you’re obviously enjoying yourselves. Keep safe.
I appreciate that!
HI JP.......Really enjoying watching your videos of your views of our country. (Norfolk here) ......so pleased you have eventually made it to the UK and have a great time. :)
Thanks 👍
Looks like you guys are having a great time. I hope the rest of your holiday is as good.
Thank you!
So you finally got to experience a REAL UK summer's day! Such a pity as the Lakes are stunning in good weather.
Really envy you mate. I'm 63 English and have never been to the lake District but it's on my bucket list!
Knife and fork Joel! , Lake District is stunning 🙂👍
Looked like a good breakfast, would be even better with a bit of the brown sauce, I'm really enjoying seeing your trip.
Hi Joel, I can really see a family resemblance with you and your cousin! She and her husband seem really nice. I’m surprised that you didn’t get black pudding with the breakfast in your hotel. It’s a pity that the weather wasn’t nicer, when it’s a clear day you see the real beauty of the Lake District! But then again, I think it’s beautiful no matter what the weather! You’ve got to have mushy peas with Fish and Chips, it’s a British classic, you season them with the salt and vinegar that they provide in the shop! I love watching these snippets of your visit, I’m thinking of joining your Patreon to view the full versions, but I don’t know if I can afford the subscription due to having limited monthly pension income! Sorry I’m sounding like I’m looking for sympathy! Lol
You can pay for Patreon (a couple of quid) and that gets you a full month so you can join up, binge all of his videos and then cancel anytime. But be sure to sign up at the start of the month so you only get charged once. They take payment when you join and then at the start of the following month. So if you wait until the 2nd of August to join, you'll only pay once and get a whole month. If you can't afford to pay after that, cancel on the last day of the August and you won't be charged again.
One payment of £2.50 for a month's access is well worth it, he has tons of full comedy and film reactions and all of his extended videos about this trip :)
@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 thanks for that! I’ve just had a look and signed up, £2.50 (£3 with vat), that’s for “family” level! I’m going to watch some later!
ha! for my dinner this evening, I am doing mushy peas, chips & seacakes! Lake District is beautiful - almost as good as Snowdon & the Lakes of North Wales 😕😇. Glad to see you guys are still having a great trip! It's like a mini-stay-cation for all of us viewing! 🖖🏾
Will someone please teach Americans how to use cutlery properly 😂
Man was digging his food like a vegetable garden 🤣
@@Sundablakr I too thought he was digging for spuds
First thing I noticed when he started his FEB. Looked sooooo awkward
Americans only use knives for cutting and for some reason it infuriates me 😂
@@stevegiles4549 It used to annoy me , so i do not look now .
I love mushy peas with fish and chips!
Man this whole itinerary for the UK trip is next level... you hit the right spots (bath, lake district, cotswolds etc), great job on that
Another fun video from Joel and Will. Your cousin and her hubby are pleasant and such good tour guides. I'm a tea purist. No milk (that's so non-British), no sugar, always brewed with loose leaves. I do hope "our" two boys will try black pudding.
Good afternoon Joel & Will...When you were in the hills you're reaction said it all you were lost for words, Cumberland sausages are one of my fav's as well as Sticky Toffee Pudding, Will certainly has got the tea pouring down to an art, You can also see than in a short space of days how our temperatures can drop, What happens on the next part of you're trip we all are looking forward it....Keep The Faith
I’m glad you boys are enjoying.England
Hi Joel,the Lake District in the rain...normal lol beautiful wether it's raining or the sun is shining(yep it does get 🌞) once again watched this video with a smile on my face. Yours and Wills reactions to everything are fantastic,well done to your cousin and hubby for showing you around. Brought back memories a specially seeing Grassmere,looking forward to your next video x again thank you Joel
I've lived in the Lake District all my life. I don't know anywhere else. I sometimes get asked if the weather is always like this. I reply by saying "No, not really. We get Winter, followed by 6 months of bad weather"..
Hey, I am from Preston and it made me laugh that you acidently visited the first KFC to open in the UK. Im glad you had a good trip in the UK.
I love your reactions to my country 🇬🇧 Have a great time here! Love from Yorkshire 👋👋
I love the Lake District, it’s almost my second home ♥️ shame you didn’t get to see it when the sun is shining. Looking forward to seeing your Edinburgh vid, another favourite place of mine 👍
One sausage? One egg? Tiny spoonful of beans??? That, my lad, is NOT a Full English Breakfast! Not even sure it's a half breakfast. LOL Not entirely sure where your aversion to mushy peas comes from. They're fantastic with fish and chips. I've never understood the northern thing of having chips, peas and gravy though.
So happy that you managed to meet up with some family for the day. Wendy seems really sweet. Sorry the weather was so drab, but I'm sure it came as a bit of a relief from the oppressive heat.
keep trying the knife you will master it by the time you leave for home!
its a pleasure watching your videos touring the UK, it helps show us brits places where we could go if we want to do a staycation.
This was excellent, we have mushy peas with fish and chips as do my children and grandchildren, I bet that pea soup was delicious, I worked with a Canadian man he said to me what is it with you brits peas peas peas in everything 😂😂😂😂
Love mushy peas, even the canned ones. ☺
I can honestly say - I have never been in a fish & chip shop that doesn't have peas - mushy or not. And please get rid of the assumption that the best fish & chips are served in pubs - THEY ARE NOT.
@@c_n_b I prefer canned ones, our chippie mushy peas are way too salted so we get the curry sauce and take fish and chips home to add peas.
Pea and Ham soup is delicious. Tend to pour the mushy peas over the chips then add yr salt & vinegar 😋
@@cathyb46 Yum I'll try that next time.
The Lake District is one of my most favourite places in the whole world. Truly beautiful.
If you get a chance try our Sunday roast dinner, try and a carvery place or a pub that serves it all week long, you won't be disappointed Joel
Hey JP I can't believe you came to my home town of Preston. Just to let you know that the KFC on the Fishergate high street you guys went into was the first KFC officially opened in 1964 the in the UK by The Colonel Sanders himself. I don't know if it's still there but there used to be a photo and a plaque of the Colonel taken outside of the shop that was hung on the wall inside.
Opened in May 1965
Wendy and her husband / boyfriend are lovely. It’s so nice that you met your cousin here and they showed you guys the sights.
I grant you, pea soup doesn’t sound very nice but I hope you’ll agree that once you’ve tried it, it’s actually delicious. Did it have some ham it in too?
And as for mushy peas, it’s very popular over here.
Lake District looked gorgeous. The ethereal mist on the lake just added to its beauty. Adding this to my list of places to go.
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas and are faded green in colour. Pea soup can be made from various dried peas varying in colour from greyish-green to yellow. Yes, it goes well with ham and even Frankfurter sausages, as does Pease Pudding (porridge?) made from split yellow peas.
@@TheAlanSaunders Pea and ham soup was my go-to for lunch a few years ago. Used to pop to local Co-Op shop near my office and get a carton of pea and ham soup. Was well tasty.
A most beautiful part of England with out a doubt 😃try haggis in Scotland - with or without mushy peas 👍
You're about 28 miles away from my house . Hope you're having a great time . The lake district is lovely especially on a clear day . Just watch out for the bears they can come out of nowhere 🤪
