For those who have been asking, I first tried a roasted centipede that I prepared myself when I was 6 years old.
I didn’t become a muppet overnight. It has been a long and gradual process over the years.
wait till you hit 50 then you just become a rag on a stick.
At least everybody would be able to get a leg 😂

🤣
You haven't lived til you've tried deep fried toenails in fanny batter.
Custard creams are perfect dipped in tea, not milk. You philistines 😂
You'll have to forgive them, milk is the American version of dunking.
@@blackdragoncyrus Yeah. Sacrilege 🤣
@@blackdragoncyrustell that to the women of Salem.
Custard creams taste like eating
Cardboard
Tea or coffee
The correct way to eat a Jaffa Cake is to pop it into your mouth whole, eat it..... then follow it up with the rest of the sleeve, promising to put the box with the second sleeve, away for later. Then just eating that anyway and wishing you had another box.
Oreos taste of disappointment, regret and abject misery
Pickled onion Monster Munch is where it's at! Karl Pilkington's snack of choice as well if I remember correctly!
The Rolls Royce of savoury snacks 😋
Yes. They need to try these
Beef!
Kendal Mint Cake was invented to be a high energy survival food, not really meant to be eaten as a casual snack ...although many do.
Jaffa cakes are not 'cookies' they are ...cakes. The clue is in the name ...and actually there was quite a famous court case over the issue, as cakes are tax free while cookies (biscuits) are not. The court ruled them to be cakes and tax free. Cakes go hard when they go stale, biscuits go soft.
Yes of course, I forgot about difference between the two.
Tell that to the mint ‘cake’
Custard creams are a fraction of the price of Oreos. Sainsburys are currently doing different flavours for slightly more: Strawberries & cream, malted milk, and now apple pie flavour !
I just said the same. You can get three packets of Custard Creams for the same price as one packet of Oreos.
I wonder if Oreos are cheap in the U.S. Custard Creams make it possible for poor people to gain weight. That's why I'm on a diet right now. 😂
Kendal Mint Cake IS a confection but it's really not intended to be eaten/used as though it were a regular candy. It's a high glucose/high energy food intended to give a quick and easy energy boost during outdoor activities like hiking or climbing. In fact you'll hardly ever find it in shops that you would normally go to for buying candy and instead find it for sale in places that sell stuff like camping and outdoor pursuits gear. It's a TON of energy in a easily storable tablet that goes in backpacks easy.
Kendal Mint cake is meant for hikers and climbers as it's a high energy tablet - Custard Creams are quite cheap - about 3 packs to one Oreo pack ! After the Tayto clean your mouth out with a twiglet !
I've never had tayto. What do they taste like compared to pickled onion monster munch or pickled onion space invaders?
@@frankdux5693 Sweaty socks mate - that's the closest thing to Tayto's
@@mikecaine3643 aye, don't sound too nice. Although I like other pickled onion crisps.
Kendal mint cake, for that sugar rush you need in the outdoor british weather when on moorland with freezing cold rain that gets you wet and wind from all directions!!
They're actually really nice. I've been to Ireland a lot and I always get into the Tayto crisps, they're all great.@@frankdux5693
The official way to eat a bag of jelly tots is to have the whole lot in one handful.
Custard Creams are made by different companies so taste different, Hills is a budget brand just 39p a pack
Something else worth mentioning is that vanilla Oreos are nice but they're about 6 times the price of custard creams.
You've definitely got to dip the custard creams in tea! I'm not a big tea drinker at all, but I will have one if I want some custard creams just to dip them in 😂
coffee is better
I couldn't wait for you to try a twiglet!! lol. Custard creams are roughly 50 cents a pack in cheap supermarkets, So they beat oreos purely on cost
Biscuits dipped in tea never milk as we all agree on 😅😂
Twiglets dipped in cream cheese or hummus beautiful.
Milk with custard creams - now that Sir is quality Muppetry ! 😹🐾👏👏👏
If you can't be bothered to make a cup of tea, a cold glass of milk is the next best option. Tea does win, but sometimes you're in a rush to gain weight. 😂
He went full Jim Henderson’s workshop with that choice.
The Kendal mint cake was used as a energy source when explorers went to the pole's
The chocolate mint you mention when trying the kendal mint cake , are called after eight mints in the UK
Starburst, when I was an ankle biter, were called opal fruits.
Dip the custard creams in tea. Easy 10. Hold them in the tea just long enough that they don't snap then quickly shovel it in your mouth.
I love Twiglets. I often have a packet of them on my man-up truck in the warehouse and eat them as I work. There's an episode of Mr Bean where he invites some mates around for Christmas and he makes Twiglets by getting some actual twigs from a tree branch outside his kitchen window and dipping them in Marmite.
Keogh is pronounced like kyo.
Custard creams ain't Oreos. You can't compare them. They're both on their own level of greatness 🏆🥇
My In laws from Italy could not get enough of the custard creams and when they came to England stocked up on them to take back
Custard creams better with tea. Like most biscuits
Love Twiglets! But I totally get how they aren't to everyones taste.
I think it's interesting how different British and American palates are, when it comes to bitter and salty, versus sweet and sugary.
Some Americans love sugary breakfasts / cereals, but it makes me queasy just thinking about it. And they like sweet tea, but Brits like unsweetened tea.
We like salty, vinegary, meaty crisps, and they don't. There's exceptions both ways (I don't like tea sweet or bitter). But that tends to be the general breakdown.
Sweet Tea is a regional thing in the US, Personally I drink green tea with a little sugar and no milk.
@@marydavis5234 It's important to note that sweet tea and iced tea are different things, but iced tea is also sweeter than hot tea (but less sweet than sweet tea).
@@IceMetalPunk no need to tell me the difference, I’m American.
Triglets are flavoured using yeast extract (same as Marmite), I love em, many don't 😂
Love me some twiglets
Of course everyone has forgotten they were invented in the 30's to compliment cocktails they are strong tasting for a reason because your taste buds effectiveness dimminshes in proportion to how drunk you are try them again after a few beers
I enjoy Twiglets now and again but mainly eat them around Christmas time. Like marmite, they are definitely an acquired taste, but funnily enough, I don't like marmite though.
@@mikkdcI love marmite but I hate twiglets 😊
@@ginjamuthaI like both. Twiglets are technically speaking horrible but they are addictive and you get the taste for them after a few.
Those custard creams we have many, many variants of in the UK - Bourbons, which are chocolate biscuits with a really cocoa-ey flavoured chocolate cream in the middle, strawberry creams, lemon puff creams - which have more of a crunch to them and Biscoff caramel type flavoured ones, which I believe are also widely available in the US. They are just a few of the many flavoured "cream filled" or "sandwich" biscuits we have in the UK.
What you have to remember is that Custard Creams have been on this earth for around 50yrs. Well preceding the Oreo's. If anything Oreo's pulled a fast one and stole the idea. That's loyalty for you :)
Custard creams are almost exactly the same as vanilla Oreos, but we don't need as much sugar as you muppets
They are a lot cheaper than Oreos as well
@@jaybe2908 and yet somehow Oreos manage to taste cheaper.
I believe the Kendall mint cakes were invented to give energy to mountain climbers and athletes back in the day
I think they actually brought them for the first climb of Everest
Mint cake is basically just sugar and peppermint essence. A million calories a bar!
Being new parents the Kendall mint cake will give you instant energy boost so you might be bouncing later
When i was in the us i struggled with the food everything from bread to bacon & eggs was just sickly sweet & every type of cake was full of over sweetened buttermilk & even milk was sweet . I was amazed that the average american consumes 17 teaspoons of sugar p/day twice recommended amount or 270 calories or over 57 pounds per year.
Same, couldn’t cope with their bread at all. I liked cinnamon before I went to America but haven’t touched it since. Seemed like everything was plastered in it there and put me right off the flavour.
@@CraigWrightStraygoat I watched a chef on UA-cam the other day who made an apple pie from a recipe from the 1600s. The girlfriend/wife came in and said "Is there cinnamon in there? It needs more cinnamon". I quite like cinnamon but not on everything.
I used to like it and can put up with it, but given a choice, I'll go without.
Putting the custard creams incident aside for a moment and the fact that this was meant to be your UK/Irish snack review. It's ALWAYS a pleasure to see Queen Boomer 😊.
Some British snacks I would suggest (as a Brit) and I am sorry if you have already tried them - Lion Bar, Double Decker, Walkers sensations any flavour (my favourite is chicken and Thyme), Ginger snaps, Mr Kipling Cherry bakewells, Fox's crunch creams, Battenburg cake, Shortbread biscuits, Walkers Quavers, Jacobs mini cheddars, Hula Hoops, Nik Naks, Wotsits, Monster munch, Frazzles, fruitcake, Eccles cake, Angel slices... I could go on but I'll leave it there. Take care Boomer!
"Nice n spicy" Nick Naks are nice. But I bet they'd be too strong for the Boomers.
@@robcrossgrove7927 My favourite flavour is scampi n lemon.
A third Jaffa Cake would have tipped the score over to ten ❤️
Custard creams are great in milk but better dipped in hot tea, I did comment that on queen boomers video guys 😋
I never expected anyone to say a twiglet tastes like a roasted centipede.
Kendal mint cake reminds me of university challenge and Ben Elton in the young ones
Kendal Mint Cake is awesome if hill walking or climbing. Ton of calories in a small bar.
Jaffa Cakes are amazing, so addictive. You should try Hunky Dory buffalo flavour, Golden Crisp bar, Mint Crisp bar and After Eights.
Gotta get those Custard Creams dunked in tea Boomer, this is one of the few videos I've seen where you weren't also drinking a cup of tea, get your act together muppet! 🤣
U have to dip the custard creams in tea for it to be a 10
Is there a PO box where I can send some of my fave snacks etc. Theres a michelin star curry place in London that sells jars and I'd love these guys to try a proper British/Indian curry
UK here, never heard of Yummycomb
It sounds like a generic rip off of Crunchie
I could eat a whole pack of those Jaffas they are so addictive in the UK
As someone who hates citrus, I really wish we had the other Jaffa cake flavors here in the States. In particular, I would *love* to try the raspberry, but I was only able to find a single online shop that will ship them here, and it's an extra $12 minimum shipping, which... I definitely cannot afford just to try a snack 😅
King Boomer, the custards are not our version of an oreo. Try get your hands on some "McVities Bourbon Creams", they're basically oreo's but better (my opinion).
Try the Custard cream dunked in a hot cup of tea.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This comment section makes me want to take a break from my diet, go out and get 3 packs of Custard Creams for a quid, eat half a pack and feel a bit sick and very ashamed of myself.
For Mr & Mrs Boomers next reaction video they’re gonna drink a couple of cans of Stella and a bottle of Buckfast
Now that’s a reaction I’d love to watch 😂
I don't think buckfast is available in the us lol or as ut use to be known has the yes mylord drink 😅
I'd change the Stella for Carlsberg Special Brew. That stuff is drunkeness in a can!
@@msboomerizzle303frosty Jack's will end this channel
@@janolaful I've heard Buckfast being referred to as "tear doon the hoose juice" by many Scots.
Gold label barley wine (with vimto) used to be the postman's unofficial cough remedy....drink until unconscious...sleep for 12 hours....get back to work😷
The restaurant mints you couldn't think of the name of we normally call "mint imperials" or "imperial mints" over here. You can buy them in the shops but often you get them in little individual packets after a meal.
How many roasted centipedes have you eaten?!?
Those mints you mentioned are Clarnico mint fondants...
9:46 all of us with ocd appreciate king boomer taking that third bite to make the minty soap more uniform in shape 😂😂😂
blasphemy the custard cream is far superior to the oreo , you sould also try and get the lemon and lime jaffa cakes and the rasberry ones
I knew you would like the Kendal mint cake, simply because it's similar to what you are used to!ie,pure sugar ❤
"Isn't that little cake thing soft, the cookie it's on?"
You mean the cake.
Jaffa cakes and custard creams neeeeeeeed to be dipped into tea!! Only tea..🎉
Custard creams in a cuppa Boomer 👌
Kendal is a town in Cumbria and is where the Mint Cake is invented.
I think the mints in the restaurant you are referring to in the UK they’re known as Mint Imperials.
Or Pan Drops
Next list, terrys chocolate orange, tunnocks snowball, smith’s bacon fries, smith’s scampi fries and chocolate hob nobs! Get in
Bacon fries and scampi fries always remind me of being in the pub when I was a kid.
Kendal mint cake is sold in outdoors supplies stores as an emergency energy food, the sugar gives you a boost, tastes bloody brilliant aswell.
Love u guys ...❤sooo entertaining 😊
The 4 best chocolate bars to try are definitely:-
1, flake
2, twirl
3, whisper
4. Aero
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
Love your guys videos. Keep them coming 👌👌
Let me correct this using an Americanism. You's guys. 😂
Yeah chewits, are a little weird, when I was growing up I remembered them being softer, but they seem much harder now and you have to let them sit in your mouth to warm up before chewing them now.
How very dare you dis pickled onion the flavour given to us from the gods 😂😂
You pronounced Keoghs correctly, I'm impressed.
Haha great reaction on the pickled onion Taytos. Brilliant.
The Kendal Mintcake is just a block of sugar with a peppermint flavour,
There is also one made of brown sugar cane with peppermint,
You can also buy chocolate covered Kendal Mintcake, which is probably the same as the small chocolate mint treats you mentioned from the restaurant,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
I once heard it described as solidified toothpaste.

19:56 half moon
20:12 total eclipse 😂
20:33 lets do it one more time, full moon~~~
Kendal mint cake is literally just sugar flavoured with peppermint essence. As other people have commented, it's a calory-dense emergency/hiking food.
The original recipe was 1lb of sugar, 5 fl.oz. of milk, boiled in a saucepan until it reduces to a thick mixture (stirring throughout), as though you were making fudge. Take it off the heat, add 1/2 tsp of peppermint essence/peppermint oil, and beat until smooth and slightly stiffened (but still pliable). Pour into a small and shallow buttered tin/tray (a small brownie tray would be pretty much ideal), keeping back around a tablespoon which you continue to beat until it starts to become grainy. Spread onto the top of the cake, then put it in the refrigerator to set. Once set, turn the cake out of the tin, and cut into strips/chunks. Keep in an airtight container until you want to eat it.
The modern recipe replaces the milk with 5 fl.oz of water, and 1 fl.oz of glucose syrup (best guess- the exact proportions are kept secret by the manufacturers)
Twiglets are definitely an acquired taste. A lot of American’s think they taste burned. They are covered in marmite and you either love them or hate them. They are a common snack around Xmas when you are with the family.
Ah, THAT'S why they tasted rank 😂
Glad you like kendal mint cake it's made 30 mins away from where I live in Morecambe in Kendal near lake district, great vids all best to you all 👌🏴🇺🇸✌️
try the custard creams in a cup of tea guys @King Boomer
I wanna know how queen boomer knows what a locker room foot
tatses like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Snd whatsvwith oink oanther music 😂😂😂😂😂
Twiglets have a yeast-based coating similar to marmite, so it actually is marmite-ish! Keogh is pronounced "key-ogch", where the "ogch" is that throaty sound you hear in Scottish a lot. So like, imagine doing a stereotypical Scottish accent and saying "agh!" It's that 😅
When you were eating the Chewits, I paused the video to think about how it reminded me of Butterfinger, in that I love them but they get stuck in every tooth. And then I resumed the video and you mentioned that as well 😂 Seriously, Butterfinger manufacturers, fix that and you'll have a regular customer in me 😂
Twiglets are like Marmite, you either love or hate them.
I'm just tuning in and you better like Twiglets!
I'm not happy... although roasted centipede brought a smile
The crunchies honeycomb has a smoky element to it that hits your nose as you initially bite into it.
I love the mysterious music
You gotta dip those custard creams in tea or coffee for the full effect. P.s love the Jim Cornette t shirt.
I'm from England and unfortunately we don't have Keogh's crisps here but you can find them in pubs and shops in Ireland. It is pronounced key-o
No, it's pronounced like kyo.
3:40 "You know what it tastes like?" *gets ready for a relatable comparison*
Kendal mint cake is like an old fashioned red bull, it was something that you had in your backpack whilst climbing mountains and you would eat it when you felt low on energy
Jaffa Cakes are just like drugs to me, I can smash through a box in minutes! Nom nom nom nom.😋😋
Jaffa Cakes were instrumental for me in quitting smoking. For some reason, everytime I craved a cigarette, I popped a Jaffa Cake and it worked! Been 15 years since I last smoked
Dip your biscuits in hot tea... Pg tips tea always works for me 🤤
Haha special guest appearance, love it 😂
I want to see Boomer eat a real pickled onion. I guess they don't do them in the US?
I hope this doesn't mean he won't like Karl Pilkington's favourite, Pickled Onion flavoured Monster Munch. It's the best flavour.
Wish they'd bring back the brown sauce flavour, that was the best.
They do have them and pickled eggs, think they're just not everywhere like here in the UK.
Pickled Onions are NOT a thing in the US
@@marydavis5234 I didn’t think so. Seen a few reactions to people trying pickled onion flavour things and they seem to think it is pickle and onion. Pickled onions are great.
Kendall mint cake is named after the place Kendall in Northern England, it is very hilly. The sugar in the bar is for energy when climbing.
The mints you're forgetting the name of is mint imperials.
Twiglets are a nice Christmas treat after you've had a few drinks, I think that's how most people eat them in the UK
Christmas snacks - cadburys festive friends are like crack to me!!
Sucking your fingers clean after the Jaffa cakes reminded me of Roy on IT Crowd 😂
Custard creams need tea. They aremade for it. I used to have about 40 for dinner in tea at uni
If Queen Boomer eats enough of that Kendall mint cake, she'll be running round the block singing at the top of her voice. As others have said it's an energy food and popular with adventurers who need a sugar boost when out in the middle of nowhere. Funny how there's only half a packet of Jaffa Cakes left when you get to try them - someone's been enjoying those 🤣
You can get different flavours of Jaffacakes. You can get lime flavour and raspberry flavour too.
I live in Vermont, one of the smaller US states I went into Aldi, one day to get bread and as I was looking around, I found the Jaffa cakes, I got the orange ones, tried them , when I got home, next thing I knew I had eaten all of them, Aldi has not had them ever since.
I wish. I hate citrus, but here in the States the orange is the only flavor we have available. I would love to try the raspberry one, as I adore raspberry, especially with chocolate... I can't even find them on Amazon, unless you count knock-offs. I've only been able to find a single online shop that will ship them here, but it's an extra $12 just for shipping, which is an insane amount that I can't afford just to snack. We really need to import more...
@@IceMetalPunk Did you try Aldi, my local Aldi have both the orange and raspberry Jaffa cakes.
King boomer you must try jam roly-poly with custard hot not cold 😊
Do they still do the chocolate coated Kendal Mint Cake?? ..also, the other brand I seem to remember apart from Romneys, was Quiggins. Purveyors of the finest minty soap bar!! 😜
Yep, they sure do.
Golden Oreo 2004.
Custard Cream 1908.
You also had a no mark brand custard cream.
Try a McVities
