I am so honored that you guys to did a video of the goodies I’ve sent to you both. You nailed my name! 😃 I’m so glad you enjoyed the treats. Any time you visit Boston again I’ll be happy to give you a proper food tour, complete with real lobster. 😉
Yaaay haha I definitely thought I was saying it wrong! It’s such a nice name. We absolutely loved them so much! Ah thank you so much, that’s so kind of you. It’s the same with you and London! We would be more than happy to show you around ♥️
I was super excited to see some New England snacks! I'm from NH and I loved the things you selected to represent us. Kittery Trading Post is one of my favorite places to visit while in Maine! Nice job!
MissTimarie that's so great that you sent them all these treats! So generous and creative of you. I've never heard of a lot of these snacks and I live in CA 💜
Madison L Thank you so much. If you’d like to try any of the things in the video I can send it to you. These are regional treats here in New England. 😊
I'm a new fan (subscriber) from Austin, Texas and I am LOVING watching all your videos! They are just the best and fun to share with my three young boys. The two of you are a joy to watch!
Alex and Kate. Boston Brown Bread is traditionally steamed, not baked. That's why it's so moist. It is sort of like an English Christmas pudding, except you don't use suet when making it. Boston Brown Bread is usually made at home in a large coffee can. You pour the batter into the empty can, cover the top with aluminum foil, and seal it closed by tying a string around the top of the can. Then you place the can upright in a kettle of boiling water, cover it with a lid, and steam it for a couple of hours. That's why the bread has a cylinder shape when it comes out of the can. Boston Brown Bread is called "quick bread," because it is not made with yeast or eggs, and you don't have to let the dough rise for several hours before you bake it. Also, Boston Brown Bread is often served with Boston Baked Beans. So if you still have some of the bread left, you might open one of the cans of beans that she sent you, and serve it with the bread. It's also good with cream cheese spread on it.
I'm from Maine! Love seeing some local items for you guys to try! If you're ever in Maine, try a Red Hot Dog! Its skin is a reddish-pink and it snaps when you take a bite! They're a Maine favorite!
I’ve lived in Maine my whole life and it’s so awesome to see you guys doing this video. Maine doesn’t get a lot of attention typically but it’s beautiful. You guys should visit, after all we are “vacationland”
Love your videos! You guys should plan a trip for some of the State Fairs. They usually have stands of local foods, and some wacky new ones. Wisconsin has the state fair every year in the beginning of August.
Love this one so much! I was born in New Hampshire and grew up in Vermont so I am so familiar with all these! So happy to see you enjoy some favorites! Happy Thursday and thanks for sharing with all of us! 😊
Another fun video. In America jam its contains fruit chunks where jelly is made from the fruit juices or strained before bottling. Both are yummy on toast but also waffles, fried dough, and ice cream!
Salt water taffy is the ultimate treat. And you're the best UA-cam channel out there. Been a subscriber for almost a year. And love each and every video. Btw Canadians like me and many others love you both. 🇨🇦💕
I loved this video! I also live in Massachusetts and have gone to Kittery Trading Post many times. I have an uncle who lives in Maine so we would go to Maine all the time for vacation growing up. There is a candy store called Yummies in Kittery, Maine that we always go to whenever we are there!
Sara Barry You need to go! I have been to see a few New England states in the Spring and it’s absolutely beautiful there! And I’m from California 😁...I went there on my own several years ago and met my good friend where he lived in Massachusetts and he took me to see Rhode Island and we stayed in this adorable bed and breakfast Inn in Newport R.I.! Just amazing...Also, I had brown bread a few times from a can, it’s actually really good, especially with real butter and with any meal or just eat with butter..Before I got married, I traveled a lot and met some good friends, luckily I married someone who loves to travel and try good food! 😁💖
Yay to another Try Treats video! I *love* when you guys do these, they are my absolute favourite series of yours! You guys are so good at describing the foods and being grateful 🙏🏻
Awesome video! I wonder how the jam would taste on the fresh baked bread or maybe the bread is too savory? Good job to that subscriber for thinking outside the box, very clever.
I'm not sure if that would have tasted nice together as you could taste the beer a lot. However, on normal baked break I reckon that would be amazing! Yeah really great box isn't it! ☺️
Contrary to popular belief, salt water taffy does not contain salt water. The candy got it's name because it was, and still sometimes is, made near salt water (like on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey).
I have also heard that sometimes the salt water spray from the ocean would blow into the taffy stores and get into the taffy because those taffy stores were on the boardwalks very close to the ocean . Thats why they called it salt water taffy
I'm glad to see that you guys eat kerrigold butter ! It's the best. I love your videos. I'm from Indiana USA! So many of the tasty candy and treats you've been sent are completely new to me!
You two are absolutely delightful to watch! I am so glad I found your channel - thanks for bringing a smile to my face with your wit and positive energy. Much love from the US 🙂✌
As a Massachusetts native now living in Florida, this video made me super nostalgic!! Used to visit the kittery trading post on Mao e vacations. This whole video made me feel like I was at the Big E Fair lol
Have one I think you would really enjoy. Applesauce Raisin Cookies. 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup applesauce 3 cups flour 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp cloves 3/4 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup raisins (more if desired) 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Drop by the spoonful onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or til golden brown. They are a puffy cookie, so you may even want to use a toothpick and check them like you would cake. It's one of my family's favorites.
And you guys could do so much more with the beer angle. My brother in law in the Chicago area collects craft beers-he trades and has them shipped from all over the US. Don’t know much beyond that (not a fan of beer) besides seeing his huge stash. Would also be neat to see you guys try family recipes from subscribers. Would be interesting to see recipes from subscribers in other areas.
I'm a born and raised New Englander, so I am glad to hear the many 10+/10. This was a great representation of the area. We would often have B&M baked beans and brown bread. :)
I love watching you guys wether it is trying food from different places or doing the WTF challenges. It would be great if you done these more often with both of you.
Please excuse me if it's been stated before, but the brown bread is meant to be warmed up and buttered, then you put warmed baked beans over top of bread. You warm the bread by removing the label, removing one end of tin can, and place it in a pan of boiling water until fully 'steamed', remove bottom of tin, push bread out, cut into thick slices, butter, and pour on some beans. One of my favorite childhood treats.
Hi Kate & Alex! Loved this video!! I am American (native to Southern California) and I love seeing snacks from across the country that I have also never tried!! So weird to think we are each about the same distance from Maine!! 🤯
I just got out of the hospital and of course the first videos I had to check out were yours. They got my slow heart doing a little happy dance. Lol. Part of my family is from the New England area (New Hampshire), so this was fun to watch. I've been to all of those States.
Yaaaay been waiting for you guys to upload another candy/snack tasting video! ❤️❤️❤️ so glad i subscribed to your channel! Just love the Kate & Alex duo
I'm commenting as I watch. That jam would be amazing inside chocolate fudge cupcakes. I have done the Polaner All Fruit blueberry jam in the cupcakes, and they were outstanding!
Try the brown bread with the baked beans! So good! Also, I am a student at UNE and I have seen the sweet and sour surprise candy. I will have to check them out!
I have know watched all of your American candy videos and you haven’t tried any of my favorite candies or treats. But I’m from the Midwest and most of yours are from the New England area. I just found you guys love the videos.
I’m from Florida and I’ve noticed that BlackBerry jelly is popular here. It is absolutely delicious! I have never had blueberry jelly, but I assume it is tasty as well.
I’m from California and I’ve tried a few of those New England treats and chips and the brown bread, most of those items are sold in our grocery stores or specialty gifts shops on the California coast or any cute tourist towns, I met my husband in Cambria, California and he owned a cute shop where he sold a lot of really good sweets, fudge he made himself, and sold local made merchandise and I walked into his shop near the ocean and we kept in touch and our first real date, he drive fours to visit me and we went to Disneyland! We’ll be married 25 years in late September! We’re going to Hawaii for our anniversary! 💖... I hope someday you’ll be able to tour California and also go see Hawaii! Such a beautiful and amazing place to see in person. Hawaii also has really delicious sweets and treats and fantastic food! The sunsets are really breathtaking! Thank you for sharing, I think you two are just so cute and sweet people! 😁💖💖💖
Hi Guys....Jane here! What a UNIQUE and thoughtful box that you were sent. WOW...I live in the States and there were so many things that I have NEVER seen. So many things looked delicious. The fresh baked bread made my mouth water-YUMMMM! Kate-you always look beautiful but in this video-well, you looked EXTRA beautiful! Was this after one of your vacations? I think you looked like you have a tan...so pretty! Happy to see Alex too ;o) This was a GREAT video...thank you as always!!!! I am SOOO happy to see your channel growing and so many people LOVING it as much as I do!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! Always sending GIANT HUGS and hope you guys have a FABULOUS weekend!!! PS...I don't even know what HQ is that you spoke of...PLEASE tell me...I am SOOOO out of the loop of trends...LOL!
Hey Jane! Very unique and thoughtful! No way!! Thats so cool to hear. It was delicious. Ahh thank you so much Jane! Too kind of you. I think it might have been hehe. We've also been having some lovely weather here in the UK! HQ is a live quiz game that you can play on your phone for free! It's pretty addictive! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
In the States jelly is strained ,no chunks or bits of fruit, and jam is the whole fruit broken down deliciousness. I love to see and learn about the differences between countries! I love HQ, but it makes me feel so ditzy!😂🙃
Maltzu Mom PB and J makes more sense now XD. I've always pictured it with jam and it just sounded really gross. Our jelly is your jello, and then there's jam, marmalade and preserves. I don't really know what the difference between them is though.
Jelly is made with gelatin and jam isn’t...that’s the only difference between jelly and jam...jam is actually smooth as well with no chunks of fruit...preserves is the whole fruit broken down into a chunky spread...❤️
Louisa Jay our jello is a sweet jiggly gelatin based dessert...that’s the same as ur jelly? Crazy!!...I put in my other post the difference between jelly, jam and preserves...but I’m not familiar with marmalade...all I know is they’re usually made from citrus!!...
Rhode Island here (part of New England) we are hidden next to Connecticut and below Massachusetts. next time your in the states for the summer/spring time, come visit Newport, RI. You won’t be disappointed.
Aww, I'm so glad I found this video! My beloved Grampies was from Kittery, ME! Maine is such a gorgeous state. (Side note: My favorite salt water taffy is from York, ME at The Goldenrod. Molasses Peppermint is my favorite flavor.)
I’ve played HQ! I just stopped playing because I’m horrible 😂 New subscriber here. Been binge watching these videos and I absolutely can’t stop. You guys are so funny & I love the sibling connection. 😊
I’m from New England USA. Connecticut to be exact. I moved to Columbus, Ohio. So it’s nice to see stuff i grew up with 💕 Love your videos! (Also i vacationed in Maine as a kid. We would pick fresh blueberries outside of our cabin and use them in pancakes. The blueberries from Maine are special 😻)
Was that maple sugar candy from Polly's Pancake Parlor? If so, it's one of the most famous breakfast spots in the state. Though we have better spots in southern New Hampshire IMO 😀
Yesss HQties!! I visited a couple of friends in England last month (I live in America) and they got me hooked on HQ! I can’t remember how far I’ve gotten, but I don’t think it’s too far 😂 You guys were sent some cool things! I live on the other side of the country so I haven’t seen a lot of those things before!
American maple vs. Canadian maple is subjective; same as Maine and Canadian lobsters. One New England treat not covered is the fluffernutter. Sliced, white sandwich bread with peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff as the filling. If you get a chance to try one of these, you will be pleasantly be surprised. Well done.
I love your videos!!!! I recently just found them and have watched them everyday!! I've done a lot of the candy ones and love watching your reactions. I went to the grocery store yesterday and things were popping out at me for you to try!!! I was like I should make them a box!! I live in southern Pennsylvania and we have some local snacks that I love and think you would too!!! Cant wait to catch up on your earlier videos and am excited for new ones to come. You guys are great keep up the good work!!
Living in Maine, this was very fun! The Brown Bread brought back great memories. My childhood Saturday nights were my grandfather's homemade beans and B&M Brown bread! Anytime you come to back to America, I'd be happy to guide you to some of the best of Maine...including a tour of Stephen King's Bangor (a.k.a. Derry from IT)!
I noticed you were unsure of our terminology for jelly vs jam. At least in my area (southwest area), jelly is the fruit spread that is pretty much entirely smooth. Jam is also a fruit spread, but it still has some chunks and seeds and stuff; it’s thicker.
I've had the Maine blueberry jam, maple syrup (on pancakes, it was out of this world), and cape cod chips. You have to **try old soaker root beer from Maine**, it's life-changing.
Boston Brown Bread is steamed in the can, not baked. It's an old recipe from colonial times when people generally didn't have ovens in their homes. They developed a recipe that was steamed in a kettle. Think along the lines of the old English steamed puddings. It's brown because it used rye and cornmeal, as wheat flour was far more expensive at the time.
Essa Boselin wow, that is very interesting! Even though I am American, I live in California, so we don't learn quite as much history about colonial times. Thanks for sharing!
Hey guys :). I am from Austria and I really love watching your videos. Normally I‘m a silent viewer but today I just wanted to tell you how lovely and authentic you are and that your videos are so funny and entertaining. :D Would you like to try some Austrian snacks and candy? Would loooove to create a box for you :). Have a nice day - Kim.
Hey Kim! Ah thank you so much for commenting when you don't usually! That means a lot and it's so nice to hear! That would be absolutely amazing if you did want to ☺️
So, as a thought, not all states sell everything, so I'm from NC and I've never heard of B&M before. But I do work at Walmart and I know for a fact that we sell Dukes mayo in southern stores but once you go to far north you can no longer buy it unless you order it online and pay for shipping to your home. so what you eat and where you eat (restaurants), and HOW you eat things differ, some times a lot, from one state to another. there is a major difference between jam and jelly in the US, but I'd prefer preserves, it has fruit chunks.
I have memories of having homemade maple candy that my grandparents made on their farm by tapping the maple trees in the fall....a giant round pan of it broken into chunks....back circa 1976-1980....
Use the jelly ( jam ) with peanut butter and you can make the classic American sandwich known as the PB&J. I wonder how that would taste on the beer bread??
I am so honored that you guys to did a video of the goodies I’ve sent to you both. You nailed my name! 😃 I’m so glad you enjoyed the treats. Any time you visit Boston again I’ll be happy to give you a proper food tour, complete with real lobster. 😉

Ah thank you so much! This comment means so much to me ♥️♥️
As a Boston girl who lived in the UK for 9 years, this video makes me SO happy!!! Love love love
Ah yay I'm so pleased to hear this 💕
You can make beer bread it’s easy as 1-2-3
1 can beer (12 oz)
2 Tlb sugar
3 Cup self rising flour
Mix bake 50-60 mins at 350
Thank you 😀
I'm from Massachusetts and was really excited to see your reactions in this video. Thanks so much for posting.
Yay I'm pleased to hear that ☺️
@@ThisWithThem You have to warm the brown bread and eat it with hot dogs(Hebrew national) and the beans.
UA-cam needs a love button. I love seeing you guys try snacks.
Ahhh thank you Naketa ♥️
Cracked pepper is quickly becoming a popular flavor here in the US with chips and crackers. Very fun box! Enjoyed it!
Sounds amazing! 😍 really enjoyed those chips!
Yes, I love cracked pepper potato chips - very popular indeed!
Salt and pepper is great on popcorn too.
I am awaiting the series of Alex best beer snacks
hehe
I'm a new fan (subscriber) from Austin, Texas and I am LOVING watching all your videos! They are just the best and fun to share with my three young boys. The two of you are a joy to watch!
This video makes me homesick for New England. Thanks for the great video.

I love Thursdays because of your videos! I also love taste testing videos! You and Alex are the best
Yay thank you Grayson! i'm pleased to hear you look forward to Thursdays 😀
I'm from Massachusetts but just recently moved an hour north into New Hampshire! New England is the best!

This was the best box! Excellent video and I enjoy how much you like everything!!
So good wasn't it! So well picked! Ah thank you so much
Another fun video. In America jam its contains fruit chunks where jelly is made from the fruit juices or strained before bottling. Both are yummy on toast but also waffles, fried dough, and ice cream!
Thank you Carolyn! Thank you for letting me know ☺️
Loved this video. Y’all both acted surprised and excited over each item. Please don’t ever stop making these videos. Love you both 💗💗💗
Yaay 💕 Hehe we do get pretty excited! Ah thank you, we love making these! 💕

Such a lovely comment to receive! Thank you so much for the love and support 💕
I have literally been watching all ur videos throughout lockdown
I love these vides of you trying snacks from different countries! Please keep them coming! Xx
Thank you Jess! We have many more to come 😀xx
I loved this video! I also live in Massachusetts and have gone to Kittery Trading Post many times. I have an uncle who lives in Maine so we would go to Maine all the time for vacation growing up. There is a candy store called Yummies in Kittery, Maine that we always go to whenever we are there!
Yaay! Thank you Kristie! No way, it looks so cool. Sounds amazing, jealous of your vacations!
Kristie Howe yummiest is the best!
Omg I am from the west and have never been to New England I was so surprised to see bread in a can! I have never seen that before.
Sara Barry It's a regional thing from New England goes with hot dogs and baked beans for dinner.
Sara Barry You need to go! I have been to see a few New England states in the Spring and it’s absolutely beautiful there! And I’m from California 😁...I went there on my own several years ago and met my good friend where he lived in Massachusetts and he took me to see Rhode Island and we stayed in this adorable bed and breakfast Inn in Newport R.I.! Just amazing...Also, I had brown bread a few times from a can, it’s actually really good, especially with real butter and with any meal or just eat with butter..Before I got married, I traveled a lot and met some good friends, luckily I married someone who loves to travel and try good food! 😁💖
When my kids grow up my husband and I plan on getting an RV and touring the country than I’ll finally be able to see New England 😃
Another awesome video. Always love watching these candy/snack videos plus your baking video are legend. Xxx
Thank you Sarah. ❤️ Too kind
InTheKitchenWithKate not a problem at all. I'm always waiting for another video. You and Alex make a great team!!
Such a great video! I'm from Maine, and I'm glad that you liked some of the tasty treats from Maine :)
Thank you Elissa! We certainly did!
I love your trying videos, with Alex you guys are so fun to watch together, keep up the great content!
I love your videos! I've been in a binge watching all off the trying food videos! Love how everything is pretty much a good beer snack!😂
Thank you Aaron! Haha Alex could turn anything into a beer snack 😂😂

I love watching your candy videos. They are so entertaining! Love you guys. ❤
Thank you Kestra! I'm so pleased to hear you find them so entertaining ❤️
You're welcome! If I had the money I'd get you guy's boxes. But sadly I do not.
That is very kind of you! No worries at all. I'm just glad you can enjoy watching our videos ❤️
Anytime I can! 😊
I love watching this after a long stressful day doing a levels
The look you give him when he is spreading it to the corners....😂😂😂😂

No we didn't think it tasted salty!
We only get it at the beach because that is where it’s the best. I don’t like other salt water
I have also heard that sometimes the salt water spray from the ocean would blow into the taffy stores and get into the taffy because those taffy stores were on the boardwalks very close to the ocean . Thats why they called it salt water taffy
You guys are so awesome i love the energy

As a Massachusetts native now living in Florida, this video made me super nostalgic!! Used to visit the kittery trading post on Mao e vacations. This whole video made me feel like I was at the Big E Fair lol
Video idea: ask "us" to comment family recipes and you try to make them here, Kate
Although, some ingredients may not be easy to find there...
That’s a fun idea!! I’d love to see that as a series.
Thats such a great idea!!! I would love that! Wacky recipes too!
Have one I think you would really enjoy. Applesauce Raisin Cookies.
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup raisins (more if desired)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Drop by the spoonful onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or til golden brown.
They are a puffy cookie, so you may even want to use a toothpick and check them like you would cake. It's one of my family's favorites.
@@sophiefilo16 ....and the conversions would take time 😕
Such a well curated selection. And so much time and thought was spent on the comments. Job well done!

Even though I live in the U.S. I’ve never been to the New England area, so most of these were new to me! Now I’m hungry.
Ah no way! Bet that was nice to see new things you hadn’t seen ☺️ haha sorry for making you hungry 😆
Boredom is fixed!!! So excited to watch, already liked!
Yaaay!
I'm a born and raised New Englander, so I am glad to hear the many 10+/10. This was a great representation of the area. We would often have B&M baked beans and brown bread. :)
We loved so much!!
I love watching you guys wether it is trying food from different places or doing the WTF challenges. It would be great if you done these more often with both of you.
Ah thank you so much! We will try get more coming soon! ☺️
How did you like the Boston baked beans from the can?
Love that muddy water, Boston your my home! I love your reactions to US candy and snacks.
❤️
American here. B & M bread in a can, very good steamed and with fresh butter. The other variety has raisins, making the bread more desert like.
This is so exciting!!!! Massachusetts resident here also so this is awesome
Please excuse me if it's been stated before, but the brown bread is meant to be warmed up and buttered, then you put warmed baked beans over top of bread. You warm the bread by removing the label, removing one end of tin can, and place it in a pan of boiling water until fully 'steamed', remove bottom of tin, push bread out, cut into thick slices, butter, and pour on some beans. One of my favorite childhood treats.
It was fun watching the beer bread being made, seeing it bubble . . . like a science experiment you can eat. 😁
It felt like a science experiment too! Hehe glad you enjoyed watching it!
I love these videos so much!! You both are so adorable 💗 I would love to send you snacks to try from San Diego, California!
❤️ Yaay this makes me happy! ❤️ That is very kind of you, thank you
These videos are my favorites on UA-cam! Have you ever gotten snacks and treats from the Midwestern parts of the US?
I'd love to send you guys some, if you haven't gotten any from the Midwest!!
I’m from Maine! I love you guys 😘 I really wan to send you more stuff from here
❤️❤️
InTheKitchenWithKate I can’t believe you responded!
What a thoughtful gift box! Loved watching this :)
Very thoughtful! We loved this box
Coming from the South Coast of Massachusetts I liked watching your take on these snacks that I have taken for granted to always be there.
Ah no way! Thats lovely to hear
Hi Kate & Alex! Loved this video!! I am American (native to Southern California) and I love seeing snacks from across the country that I have also never tried!! So weird to think we are each about the same distance from Maine!! 🤯
Hey Alyssa! No way, thats crazy!! I'm so pleased you love watching these videos. Thank you ☺️
I just got out of the hospital and of course the first videos I had to check out were yours. They got my slow heart doing a little happy dance. Lol. Part of my family is from the New England area (New Hampshire), so this was fun to watch. I've been to all of those States.
Ah no way!! Thank you for supporting us! I hope you are okay and get better soon ☺️😘
Yaaaay been waiting for you guys to upload another candy/snack tasting video! ❤️❤️❤️ so glad i subscribed to your channel! Just love the Kate & Alex duo
Yaay!! This makes me happy ❤️ Thank you for such a lovely comment
I'm commenting as I watch. That jam would be amazing inside chocolate fudge cupcakes. I have done the Polaner All Fruit blueberry jam in the cupcakes, and they were outstanding!
Yes!! That would be delicious.
Try the brown bread with the baked beans! So good! Also, I am a student at UNE and I have seen the sweet and sour surprise candy. I will have to check them out!
Bet thats amazing! They are delicious, definitely try them out!!
I have know watched all of your American candy videos and you haven’t tried any of my favorite candies or treats. But I’m from the Midwest and most of yours are from the New England area. I just found you guys love the videos.
I’m from Florida and I’ve noticed that BlackBerry jelly is popular here. It is absolutely delicious! I have never had blueberry jelly, but I assume it is tasty as well.
Deanna Vaccaro blueberry jelly is rather sweet.
Mmm sounds delicious
I’m from California and I’ve tried a few of those New England treats and chips and the brown bread, most of those items are sold in our grocery stores or specialty gifts shops on the California coast or any cute tourist towns, I met my husband in Cambria, California and he owned a cute shop where he sold a lot of really good sweets, fudge he made himself, and sold local made merchandise and I walked into his shop near the ocean and we kept in touch and our first real date, he drive fours to visit me and we went to Disneyland! We’ll be married 25 years in late September! We’re going to Hawaii for our anniversary! 💖... I hope someday you’ll be able to tour California and also go see Hawaii! Such a beautiful and amazing place to see in person. Hawaii also has really delicious sweets and treats and fantastic food! The sunsets are really breathtaking! Thank you for sharing, I think you two are just so cute and sweet people! 😁💖💖💖
Hi Guys....Jane here! What a UNIQUE and thoughtful box that you were sent. WOW...I live in the States and there were so many things that I have NEVER seen. So many things looked delicious. The fresh baked bread made my mouth water-YUMMMM! Kate-you always look beautiful but in this video-well, you looked EXTRA beautiful! Was this after one of your vacations? I think you looked like you have a tan...so pretty! Happy to see Alex too ;o) This was a GREAT video...thank you as always!!!! I am SOOO happy to see your channel growing and so many people LOVING it as much as I do!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! Always sending GIANT HUGS and hope you guys have a FABULOUS weekend!!! PS...I don't even know what HQ is that you spoke of...PLEASE tell me...I am SOOOO out of the loop of trends...LOL!
Hey Jane! Very unique and thoughtful! No way!! Thats so cool to hear. It was delicious. Ahh thank you so much Jane! Too kind of you. I think it might have been hehe. We've also been having some lovely weather here in the UK! HQ is a live quiz game that you can play on your phone for free! It's pretty addictive! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Can't beat freshly baked bread. Looks awesome.
Only managed question 7 on HQ
No you can't!! Not bad at all that! I've only gotten to 8 as my mum was helping haha
InTheKitchenWithKate 😄
In the States jelly is strained ,no chunks or bits of fruit, and jam is the whole fruit broken down deliciousness. I love to see and learn about the differences between countries! I love HQ, but it makes me feel so ditzy!😂🙃
Ah no way! That must be how it has that texture then! I love it 😍Haha it makes me feel super ditzy too 😂
Maltzu Mom
PB and J makes more sense now XD. I've always pictured it with jam and it just sounded really gross.
Our jelly is your jello, and then there's jam, marmalade and preserves. I don't really know what the difference between them is though.
Jelly is made with gelatin and jam isn’t...that’s the only difference between jelly and jam...jam is actually smooth as well with no chunks of fruit...preserves is the whole fruit broken down into a chunky spread...❤️
Louisa Jay our jello is a sweet jiggly gelatin based dessert...that’s the same as ur jelly? Crazy!!...I put in my other post the difference between jelly, jam and preserves...but I’m not familiar with marmalade...all I know is they’re usually made from citrus!!...
Maltzu Mom Jelly is made from the juice of fruit with pectin added to set it. Jam is made from the fruit itself with pectin.
I especially love this USA candy tasting guys! I love you so much! I need to send you Italian candies asap 😚
Yay thank you Samantha! This makes me so happy! That would be awesome 😍
Rhode Island here (part of New England) we are hidden next to Connecticut and below Massachusetts. next time your in the states for the summer/spring time, come visit Newport, RI. You won’t be disappointed.
Aww, I'm so glad I found this video! My beloved Grampies was from Kittery, ME! Maine is such a gorgeous state. (Side note: My favorite salt water taffy is from York, ME at The Goldenrod. Molasses Peppermint is my favorite flavor.)
I’ve played HQ! I just stopped playing because I’m horrible 😂 New subscriber here. Been binge watching these videos and I absolutely can’t stop. You guys are so funny & I love the sibling connection. 😊
Back in the 70's I worked at a place that served Date Nut Bread with cream cheese. The Date Nut Bread came in a can. Sooo good.
I’m from New England USA. Connecticut to be exact. I moved to Columbus, Ohio. So it’s nice to see stuff i grew up with 💕 Love your videos! (Also i vacationed in Maine as a kid. We would pick fresh blueberries outside of our cabin and use them in pancakes. The blueberries from Maine are special 😻)
Ah no way thats awesome! Bet that was great to watch and remember! Thank you very much! Oh wow, I bet they tasted amazing.
Veliccia - Same! Born in New England and ended up near Columbus, Ohio😊
❤️ Thats awesome!
America loves you. Come visit, y’all!
Was that maple sugar candy from Polly's Pancake Parlor? If so, it's one of the most famous breakfast spots in the state. Though we have better spots in southern New Hampshire IMO 😀
archaeofreak12 Parker's Maple Barn 💝
Potato candy is very popular and made in Maine. And yes, its made out of potatoes! It tastes similiar to a mounds bar.
Yesss HQties!! I visited a couple of friends in England last month (I live in America) and they got me hooked on HQ! I can’t remember how far I’ve gotten, but I don’t think it’s too far 😂 You guys were sent some cool things! I live on the other side of the country so I haven’t seen a lot of those things before!
Hehe. Ah no way!! It's addictive isn't it haha.
American maple vs. Canadian maple is subjective; same as Maine and Canadian lobsters. One New England treat not covered is the fluffernutter. Sliced, white sandwich bread with peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff as the filling. If you get a chance to try one of these, you will be pleasantly be surprised. Well done.
I would love to try a fluffernutter! I'm yet to try that!
also try with sliced bananas in it! That was one of my childhood favorites.
I love your videos!!!! I recently just found them and have watched them everyday!! I've done a lot of the candy ones and love watching your reactions. I went to the grocery store yesterday and things were popping out at me for you to try!!! I was like I should make them a box!! I live in southern Pennsylvania and we have some local snacks that I love and think you would too!!! Cant wait to catch up on your earlier videos and am excited for new ones to come. You guys are great keep up the good work!!
This may sound like a silly question, but what type of can opener is that? I wish I had one that worked that well!
I only just realized recently that handheld can openers are meant to be laid flat on top of the can and not on the sides like most people do.
missed ya'll glad to see yas again.
U brits say 'i reckon' a lot as if it were a spaghetti western! lol
hilarious u checked if u still had teeth! haha
Living in Maine, this was very fun! The Brown Bread brought back great memories. My childhood Saturday nights were my grandfather's homemade beans and B&M Brown bread! Anytime you come to back to America, I'd be happy to guide you to some of the best of Maine...including a tour of Stephen King's Bangor (a.k.a. Derry from IT)!
So pleased to hear you enjoyed watching and it brought back memories! That is very kind of you. thank you 😀
I wish there were more candies for you guys to try.
Peach and blackberry jam are my favorites
Wow peach jam, i bet thats amazing
Love watching you guys! Its nice to hear your opinions on some popular foods!
What an amazing gift box! The local goodies and thought that went into it was lovely. I am so going to go and make some beer bread!
PS. SALT WATER TAFFY AND MAPLE CANDY!!! Ross hahahaha
I noticed you were unsure of our terminology for jelly vs jam. At least in my area (southwest area), jelly is the fruit spread that is pretty much entirely smooth. Jam is also a fruit spread, but it still has some chunks and seeds and stuff; it’s thicker.
I've had most of those, as I live in Massachusetts as well. The Brown bread in a can is actually one of my favorites! It's also an acquired taste.
I've had the Maine blueberry jam, maple syrup (on pancakes, it was out of this world), and cape cod chips. You have to **try old soaker root beer from Maine**, it's life-changing.
All delicious aren't they!! Mmm sounds interesting. I'll have to look out for that! Thank you
Boston Brown Bread is steamed in the can, not baked. It's an old recipe from colonial times when people generally didn't have ovens in their homes. They developed a recipe that was steamed in a kettle. Think along the lines of the old English steamed puddings. It's brown because it used rye and cornmeal, as wheat flour was far more expensive at the time.
Essa Boselin wow, that is very interesting! Even though I am American, I live in California, so we don't learn quite as much history about colonial times. Thanks for sharing!
No way! I wondered if it was made in the tin! Thank you for the info. So interesting to learn!
love all your videos ypu make smile all the time thank you
❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys :). I am from Austria and I really love watching your videos. Normally I‘m a silent viewer but today I just wanted to tell you how lovely and authentic you are and that your videos are so funny and entertaining. :D
Would you like to try some Austrian snacks and candy? Would loooove to create a box for you :). Have a nice day - Kim.
Hey Kim! Ah thank you so much for commenting when you don't usually! That means a lot and it's so nice to hear! That would be absolutely amazing if you did want to ☺️
So, as a thought, not all states sell everything, so I'm from NC and I've never heard of B&M before. But I do work at Walmart and I know for a fact that we sell Dukes mayo in southern stores but once you go to far north you can no longer buy it unless you order it online and pay for shipping to your home. so what you eat and where you eat (restaurants), and HOW you eat things differ, some times a lot, from one state to another. there is a major difference between jam and jelly in the US, but I'd prefer preserves, it has fruit chunks.
I love your videos💖 you guys are the best💖
Thank you Cindy! And thank you for always watching and supporting us 💕
The blueberry jam would be great on a fresh from the oven southern biscuit, buttermilk or not. Yummy
I have memories of having homemade maple candy that my grandparents made on their farm by tapping the maple trees in the fall....a giant round pan of it broken into chunks....back circa 1976-1980....
Use the jelly ( jam ) with peanut butter and you can make the classic American sandwich known as the PB&J. I wonder how that would taste on the beer bread??
I've never tried a PB&J sandwich!! I think i need to make this happen!
