BARRY 😊 A Billion thanks for filming this! No-one was more excited to watch this than me. Fabulous presenting by you and Phoebe! Iook out for a Thank you card arriving soon. 🍴👍
By the way Barry, the inside of a macaroon is not coconut, but is actually a kind of fondant made with potato (or tatties as we call them!) and icing sugar.
This brings tears to my eyes for I have only once managed to get my hands on genuine Scottish oatcakes and since I live in Eastern Europe those can not be found anywhere. I love them.
My dad would tell me lots of stories of when he was a kid in a catholic elementary school, and one involved coconut snowballs. My dad *hated* coconut, but his mom (my grandma) would always put one in his lunch. One very sunny day, the teachers thought that it was such a nice day, they would let the kids have lunch outside. Since it was fairly sunny, the marshmallow bit of the snowball in his lunch was starting to melt. So, he had the genius idea to stick it on the playground slide while none of the teachers were looking, in the hopes that some poor unfortunate kid would slide down and ruin their pants. My dad had a newfound respect for coconut snowballs that day, and continued to do the same thing for almost two whole weeks until one of the teachers caught him.
Oat cakes are commonly used for stovies (mashed potatoes & boiled beef combined with gravy) to soak up the juices. Rarely ate on their own/how the packet shows.
I've been lucky enough to go on a tour of the Tunnocks factory. It was a magical place staffed by friendly Glaswegian ladies who kept letting us sneak as many reject biscuits from the production line into our pockets as possible. God bless Tunnocks.
in the southern usa, our snoballs (yes, that is the correct spelling for the confection around here) are chocolate cakes filled with cream and then covered with a layer of marshmallow and then a final layer of coconut. delicious!
We had that first drink whilest we were on holiday there with highschool. We bought a 2L bottle for like 2 pounds from a random turkish shop on the corner of Princess St. in Edinburgh. amazing stuff
Great video, nice to see Phoebe again, she's blossoming into a lovely young lady. Your reaction to the oatcakes was interesting; I often get cheesy Scottish style oatcakes in my fortnightly Graze box and I love them. So do my three cats, who also eat crisps and rice crackers whenever I have snacks, but they especially like the oatcakes. You know what they say - 3 out of 3 cats can't be wrong :)
For what it's worth, Nairn's oatcakes are widely available in Canada and not just in British import shops. I remember the days when Nairn's oatcakes came in a wax paper wrapper and were shaped like petticoat tails (think of a an oatcake that is roughly shaped like a piece of pie). But that was about 40 years ago. In any case, they were great with a bit of butter spread on them, and the butter helped offset the dryness. Irn Bru is also widely sold in Canada. To my palate, it's a lot like a kind of orange creme soda. Chocolate-covered cookies with a marshmallow centre are also popular and made by various domestic manufacturers. Baxter's soups (e.g. Cock-a-Leekie) are also found in Canada. Oh, and shortbread too. We've got tons of that stuff in all kinds of varieties.
I've had lots of those caramel bars and your right they do sell them all over the uk even at my local mini shops that you really only buy sweets and drinks from but the magazines are way too expensive 👍🏻
nope I'm English and had no idea that was a thing, nor did I realise they were even Scottish though they've been my favourite biscuit/treat my whole life!
The centre of a macaroon bar is not coconut, but (you'll never believe this) is potato! It's mashed potato mixed with icing sugar and pressed to set hard, and it's the greatest thing ever.
We have Snowballs in the US as well but they're called Sno Balls, similar product though. We also have those tea cakes, but can't recall what they're called here.
I've been in a terrible mood all night that I couldn't shake, but watching this video made me feel a little better :) Great video as always, and thanks to you and Phoebe for the laughs, I really needed some!
With our foods you really need to eat it when its been traditionally made, like oatcakes that have been cooked on a gridle over a stove and eaten traditionally with soup. The same goes with the cullen skink and the cockaleeky since they are way better when cooked with the right local fish and vegetables since the taste is effected by the quality of ground the vegies were grown in.
I have that snowballs and its really TASTY but its too much of coconut bits around it and it keeps falling, i have like 2 or 3 boxes of that and that's only 5 dhs.
Yep oatcakes do taste like horse feed. Definitely need a smattering of cream cheese and jam. Don't throw them out Barry. You can also use them in a trifle or a base for a cold dessert pie like lemon, chocolate cream, or sliced strawberry jello pie. Use them like graham crackers.
Aww your daughter Phoebe really make this video something really special! ^_^ I love Scottish food, I'm hoping to go there next month so I'll keep any eye out for these items :)
it looks like rust.. that'll be the ferric oxide. Otherwise known as.. rust 😁 I remember the irn bru adverts, it always disappointed me that as a child I couldn't lift up the pavement after drinking some.
Your phoebe is just awesome Barry!
Oatcakes are great crumbled in a thick lentil soup sprinkled with fresh parsley!
Your videos hug my soul, your constant joy is amazing. Much love
BARRY 😊 A Billion thanks for filming this! No-one was more excited to watch this than me. Fabulous presenting by you and Phoebe!

We Scots are a hardy people, I once ate 40 oatcakes without water!
Respect.
Me To!!

How many people are watching that are Scottish. 🙋
I don't likE oatcakes,BUT QUAVERS
Oh, I love that you're doing videos with your little girl. Love her expressions and opinions!
Your Scottish accents where on point 😂😍 I'm from Scotland too!!!!
You’re such a good Dad, Barry. Keep it up!
I love how you call your daughter "Mate"
What a fun video, your daughter is adorable!
By the way Barry, the inside of a macaroon is not coconut, but is actually a kind of fondant made with potato (or tatties as we call them!) and icing sugar.
These two are terrific.
The best part of this video was Phoebe!!! What a charming child ! She is smart and I enjoyed her sense of humor. She is a credit to your parenting .
Phoebe is so cute with her scottisch wig! I think I know who will be the heir of your legacy Barry!
Phoebe is my spirit-animal. What an awesome kid. Doing a good job raising her, Barry :)
This brings tears to my eyes for I have only once managed to get my hands on genuine Scottish oatcakes and since I live in Eastern Europe those can not be found anywhere.
I love them.
amazon my dude they sell em

phoebe is such a character, i'm a fan! haha, she's super super cute! (and the color of her eyes is very beautiful!)

Lovely little helper you have there..too cute!

Phoebes Scottish accent is adorable.

Cullen, Moray is my hometown and that soup is amazing! The local cafes around the area serve it and it's better than the Baxters one too.
I used to buy Iron Bru from a UK themed shop in downtown Flushing, MI. It's like orange cream soda.

Those looked so delicious! Phebs is sooooo sweet 😁.
Pheobe's quick wit makes these videos. she's so adorable!
Phoebe was great. What a star. Real talent there. Yeah, Barry did an okay job too.
I love those oat cakes,especially the rough ones.
Fun fact:the biscuit browns in MOD rations are the same manufacturer.
And irn bru tastes metallic because it's made with girders
Love the Scottish accents! Watching from Glasgow
I've had lots of those caramel bars and your right they do sell them all over the uk even at my local mini shops that you really only buy sweets and drinks from but the magazines are way too expensive 👍🏻
I’m from Paisley a town about 5-6 miles outside Glasgow and your daughters accent was great 👌🏻
Caramel bars are one of my all time favourites, would love to see you make a giant one bud
great job, what fun too :) ty both.
Here in Newfoundland we get those tea cakes, snowballs, caramel bars and caramel logs.....Reminds me of childhood :)
oh those tea cakes are like a thing we have in canada called viva puffs except ours have some jam as well
5:22AM here in the middle of the US love the videos found you through ashens over a year ago and have never regretted it
+My Virgin Kitchen
Barry, Could the Spotty Scottie Dogs be Scottish Terriers?
Where did the headbutting Tunnock's come from? I've never heard of that before. XD
I've never seen a single person use their head to break a teacake, it must be an English thing.
I've never seen anyone break it with their head, and I'm English
It's not I'm English and I'd never heard of it either
I don't know why you'd want to break it with anything other than your teeth o,O
nope I'm English and had no idea that was a thing, nor did I realise they were even Scottish though they've been my favourite biscuit/treat my whole life!
it's a Scottish thing its not common but some areas it's a thing haha
Phoebe is so adorable and is a natural in front of the camera.
You should come to Arbroath and have a famous Arbroath Smokie, im sure youd love that!
There's nothing more OK than a fine Arbroath Smokie! 🐟
hmmmmm heavenly.
+Elle Kay Indeed!
I'm from Johnshaven
I'm from the isle of Lewis
Hey Barry, I really like your channel, especially this kind of videos where you taste treats from foreign countries
The centre of a macaroon bar is not coconut, but (you'll never believe this) is potato! It's mashed potato mixed with icing sugar and pressed to set hard, and it's the greatest thing ever.
Here in the US snowballs also have chocolate cake in the middle, it's a bit much.
they're merely the cupcakes, turned over, un frosted, and marshmallow goo on top, with coconut.
I love those oatcakes and you can get those in any supermarket here in England
Phoebe is so funny and just brilliant! 😀
I can't believe there wasn't tablet in that box! Have you had Scottish tablet before, Barry?
Ooh 4 years later and he still has not replied 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm from scotland and this was adorable
We have Snowballs in the US as well but they're called Sno Balls, similar product though. We also have those tea cakes, but can't recall what they're called here.
I've seen ones with jam that are less whipped and lighter in stores over here too, I imagine it's those you had?
The tea cakes look a lot like a Moon Pie
+Nick L Thanks for that. I always wondered what Moon Pie was - now I know! Some shops in the UK sell American Candy so I will look out for it. 👍
+Sunny Days its like a fluffy, semi light semi stodgy marshmallow, thin chocolate and cheap biscuit
+Sunny Days its like a fluffy, semi light semi stodgy marshmallow, thin chocolate and cheap biscuit
love it.
You bring a smile to my day
I've been in a terrible mood all night that I couldn't shake, but watching this video made me feel a little better :) Great video as always, and thanks to you and Phoebe for the laughs, I really needed some!
Nairn's are fabulous with cheese or kippers.
Barry seems like such a fun dad.
Revolutio, the looping roller coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach was sponsored by IRN BRU for a long time, up until 2011 I think.
I loooooove snowballs, theyre very popular in NFLD Canada
Can't sleep having a barrathon thought I'd start with this again (seen every video of yours atlest twice) being Scottish myself love Amy and Boston
Oh I love those oatcakes. I wish we could still get them here in my city in Canada.
Fellow Pug lover.. Subscribed for sure. Life would be almost impossible without Pug love. Everyone should have one or twenty lol. Long live the Pug.

I buy the caramel bars and tea cakes whenever I get to World Market. We love them!
And just think, soon Scottish food will be classed as foreign cuisine to the rest of the UK.
Thought it already was!
Jizz Fandango it already is
we aren't going anywhere.
I was born in Dundee. Live in California and was always told it was made from gurders from the fourth railway bridge :)
Haha I believed that for years
Love it most we get on the Faroe Islands too 😋
this was great it was like watching blue peter when i was a kid, great stuff
Hi from Scotland Irn bru is actually the best drink in Scotland I think and a tea cake is very good
I've had those oat cakes before but I got them from Aldi
I have that snowballs and its really TASTY but its too much of coconut bits around it and it keeps falling, i have like 2 or 3 boxes of that and that's only 5 dhs.
Yep oatcakes do taste like horse feed. Definitely need a smattering of cream cheese and jam. Don't throw them out Barry. You can also use them in a trifle or a base for a cold dessert pie like lemon, chocolate cream, or sliced strawberry jello pie. Use them like graham crackers.
The white bit in a macaroon isn't coconut - traditionally, it's icing sugar beaten with a little mashed potato.
Maaan scottish food looks amazing!
Aww your daughter Phoebe really make this video something really special! ^_^
I love Scottish food, I'm hoping to go there next month so I'll keep any eye out for these items :)
the teacake i eat the biscuit first then scoop out the mallow by that time the chocolate is melted so lick the fingers time
This is adorable!!
it looks like rust.. that'll be the ferric oxide. Otherwise known as.. rust 😁
I remember the irn bru adverts, it always disappointed me that as a child I couldn't lift up the pavement after drinking some.
Made in Scotland Fae Girders
I thought rust was really bad for you? Like if it gets into a cut you have to have a tetanus!
You make me so happy.
I don't know if they still are, but macaroons used to be made with potatoes
I usually have the oatcakes with pâté, that's quite nice
Have you been living on the Moon?
How can you never have had Irn Bru?
It's perfumed and floral the opposite of metallic.
tastes like metallic chemicals to me, but I still love it
+Henry Phillips metallic because it is made from girders
They don't get it where they live
Emma Aston I live in England, and I have it all the time...
+Henry Phillips I meant like the city they live in. I live in Gloucester and I've been looking everywhere for it but they don't do it here.
9:38 Boston is like "WTF Why am I here I was just guarding the fridge"
Saintsbury's chocolate chip shortbread is very nice. This coming from someone who isn't too fussed about shortbread either hehe.
Sainsbury's*
I love these videos keep it up makes my day
Lol I feel like Phoebe actually runs this channel now......
So glad i watched this, Havent had the tunnocks caramel wafers in years and they really are amazing so im gonna have to pick some up :)
Irn-Bru actually has ammonium ferrite citrate in it
(Rust)

Enriko well as a joke sometimes
Your so lucky, Phoebe is so we'll spoken and funny!
You should have more than 1,000,000 subscribers, your content is a one-off and its not boring👍
Have you ever considered doing something with soft pretzels?
Haggis is a small brown creature that runs around the highlands
All my Scottish peeps understand ;)
It tastes metallic because of all the girders in it
