Before anyone discounts marmite, you need to try marmite and cheese on toast. The trick is, you need such a thing sliver, almost so you can still see the butter underneath. So many people go too heavy and as a lover for probably 30 years, I wouldn't eat it thick/strong. Mature cheddar too!
Also, there was an entire documentary deciding whether it was cake or biscuit. Cakes go hard when they are stale, biscuits go soft. Jaffa cakes go hard stale 😂
Marmite generally speaking is foul but I have to admit while I was at work one time there was a jar of Marmite and I challenged myself to try it so I spread it on the bread extremely thinly so you could barely see it and it wasn’t awful. However I still won’t eat it again because I still think it is awful and I don’t need it in my life!
I like Tunnock's teacakes but much prefer the caramel wafers. Maybe you should get Annie to try more traditionally Scottish things like haggis, butter tablet, black bun, Edinburgh rock, etc.
@@SimpleScottishLiving Yeah... not straight out of the jar 🤣 It's the ultimate love or hate item! May I suggest spreading Marmite on hot, buttered Toast 🙂
Scotch eggs in restaurants and bars are sold hot with the yolk still runny, usually. The ones you buy in local shops are like this. The Scotch pie is traditionally mutton, however most places have moved to beef - they differ wildly depending on where you get them from. I find it a risky pie to buy if you haven't tried it from that place before, sometimes too greasy, sometimes too solid, sometimes too salty. Get a good one though and they're superb. But mutch better pies throughout Scotland in my opinion. Irn-Bru should be cold, cold. Great for hangover and fish suppers alike. Monster Munch are bangers, there's a UK crisps documentary and it's on UA-cam if you're ever bored enough. I think it's Crisp Wars. Marmite - you want to toast some bread, butter it and then a thin spread of Marmite, you should be able to see the butter. That's the best way to start and increase depending on preference. Straight from the jar is like drinking vinegar, no one does it. Wine Gums - look on UA-cam for the 90s ads for it. "There's joose, loose, aboot this hoose!"
Where, oh where, can you get mutton pies these days? They all seem to be "beef" (loosely speaking). I have childhood memories of eating a Scotch pie with the grease dribbling down my chin. Howies in Saltcoats were the best. Heaven!
I always have marmite in the cupboard but I don't eat it on its own, it's great in cooking, a spoon in stews, pies, gravy... The last time I ate it on toast was when I was pregnant (but loads of butter and the thinnest layer). I love your channel btw

My sister and I will be in Scotland at the end of August until the first of Sept. My daughter is in a masters program at Oxford at 47 yrs of ag.

When I was young in the UK (some decades ago sadly), Oranges were imported from Jaffa in Israel - hence the name. The controversy over biscuit v cake came about because in the UK cakes are taxed differently than biscuits (Why is a mystery!) which resulted in a law suit. They were defined legally as cakes much to McVitie's relief as otherwise the VAT would have been collected retroactively - millions of pounds apparently.. Just a little history!
I think you maybe wrong. Jaffa' came from South Africa. I transported fruit and veg in the early 90's and all Jaffa fruit was from South Africa......... Most of our lemons were from Cyprus, but a few came from Israel. Each box of fruit has a COO, and Seville oranges were from Spain, the rest came from South Africa.........
@@juniusvindex769Jaffa is a place in Israel where that particular cultivar of orange was bred in the 19th century. It can of course be be grown anywhere with a suitable climate, and these days they do come from many places, and I think not many come from Jaffa itself as it is now a pretty urban environment. However, I don’t know when the shift of production location happened, nor does the original poster give any clues as to how old they are (other than some decades ago) so they may be correct. Edit. Just done a bit of research and it appears many of the orange groves in Jaffa disappeared in the late 1940s so quite possible for someone to have grown up in a period when the imports did actually come from Jaffa itself.
@@simonrobbins8357 I am talking about the 1950's. But it certainly is possible that this variety of Orange was grown elsewhere such as South Africa, no doubt. They were a very large Orange with thick peel. They were certainly labelled as Jaffa Oranges.
FYI... Scotch eggs are NOT a Scottish creation. I believe they originate from Yorkshire in England. Scotch pies on the other hand are Scottish and are delicious. But you can't buy them in England. Coca Cola is the No 1 drink in every country of the world except Scotland where it is Irn Bru. Caramac was discontinued several years ago. But I believe you can get 'versions' of it (not the original recipe one).
Yeah.. It was believed to originate from Fortnum & Mason in the early 1700s. The original name was thought to be Scorched Eggs due to the way it was baked initially - But shortened to Scotch ( probably from mispronounciation)
I’m so glad I came across the two of you. I am really enjoying your content and cheerful personalities. I look forward to more. This was a good video and I did laugh a lot. Watching from sunny Wales 😎
Try a homemade scotch egg. Scotch eggs should have a semi runny yolk. Try Dandelion and Burdock, a very distinctive drink. Bread and Butter pudding. The love/hate thing with Marmite has spawned a saying that has come into common usage. People will often say that something "is a Marmite thing", i.e. something you either love or hate. Love the videos btw.
Thanks so much for watching! We’ll definitely try these. And yes, marmite seems to be an acquired taste, but we do plan to try it again when prepared the proper way!
Suggestions for food... cullen skink? Steak and kidney pie? Rhubarb crumble? Scottish lamb? Lobster or crab with salad( not typically just Scottish but we loved having freshly caught ones mostly from dives off the east coast). For sweeties, if you have an old fashioned sweetshop with loose sweets in jars, try asking for 4ozs of a mixture of Scottish ones. We have alots of Scottish made ice cream too so if you're out and about then look for parlours in various towns. I can't remember many names but Janettas in St. Andrews, Visocchi's in Broughty Ferry, Luca's in Musselborough. Mackies is also available from the supermarkets. Scones. Organic duck eggs and, when in season, try a goose egg. I'm sure you'll have plenty of suggestions.
I think the most relevant fact that makes it clear that Jaffa Cakes are cakes, is that they're cakes made from cake mix. I don't know how anyone can get this wrong.
In 1991, after a long and costly dispute between HM Revenue and customs (HMRC) and McVities it was ruled in Court that Jaffa Cakes are indeed cakes and not biscuits. Decision based on the fact that biscuits, left out of their packaging always go soggy. Cakes don't. It's an important judgement because a chocolate covered biscuit would be subject to Value Added Tax, whereas a chocolate covered cake is not.
ADVICE: I just wanted to say that I was instantly attracted to your videos bc of your big move to Scotland and would love to see more DITL or videos showing your life overseas as opposed to the sit down videos. You're in such a beautiful place and it's a shame to not show your new life. I look forward to watching your channel grow!
Thanks for the feedback! We hope to showcase as much as possible. Haven’t been out too much in the first 2 months with all the ongoing house renovations and kids finishing up school, but we can’t wait to see more and share it with everyone ❤️
@@SimpleScottishLiving, for those of us in Scotlabd I think most have us have just enjoyed your enthusiasm and find quite a lot of your viewpoints and experiences really interesting and how you explain for those of us unfamiliar with the USA, what it's like.
@@SimpleScottishLivingyour welcome and I completely understand. For just starting a UA-cam channel your doing really great. So glad I stumbled across your videos!
scotch pies really good with onion gravy and mixed steamed veg with mashed potato scotch egg great with salads or conrish pasties and beans or heated up and with mixed steamed veg and gravy marmite they changed the recipe it isnt like it used to be... cant go wrong with dodgers... great with tea or milk... jaffacakes are a cake that are the size of a buscuit... cherry bakewells also better with a cup of tea... tea cakes always great for kids in pack lunches... a great snack that doesnt fill your tunny bfore dinner... milkybar bar one of my old favorites, i myself, my kids and grand kids all grew up eating these to keep em quiet... caramac was discontinued but was another tasty treat. wham bars i used to roll up and put all of it in my mouth and let it melt and suck on it for hours... there was a similar one that had popping candy inside which was another favorite as a kid... wine gums another one that changed the recipe... they were alot better 20 years ago... fruity and chewy now they taste artificial...
You two are so fun to watch! I’m heading to the UK from California the beginning of October with my daughter, her husband and his mother & we’re staying in Scotland for 4 nights. Great idea to do actual taste testing of the local snacks. Unfortunately my daughter & I have celiac disease so we will be missing out on some of the yummy foods. If you stumble upon great gluten free options, please pass those on. I know my son in law will enjoy many of the ones you shared in this video. By the way, I love that you brought a bit of California with you with the picture of the poppies behind you ❤ I grew up in the Bay Area.
Fair enough, Marmite isn't for either of you- but eating it like that.......ain't no-one gonna enjoy that! (Unless you are already a great fan!) HAS to be eaten on hot buttered toast, VERY thinly spread! Or used in small amounts to pep up savoury sauces - like brown meat gravy, casseroles or meaty pasta sauces. The Jaffa cake is legally a cake, after a court case in which it was hotly debated. The issue was that cakes are exempt from VAT, but biscuits are not. The deciding factor was that cakes go hard when stale and biscuits go soggy when stale. Your Jaffa cake goes hard, ergo it is a cake. But it's always sold in the biscuit aisle, not the cake aisle......
Guys Guys guys! Even as a Marmite lover, I would never eat it like that. If you fancy trying it again properly, lovely warm toast with butter and spread that marmite nice n thin. The pie, if you eat it just plain like that, you need to get from a butcher to get that proper savory taste, or as Zack said with your preference of sauce. I’m a brown sauce man myself, but whatever you prefer. They are also delicious cover in baked beans. Pickled Onion Monster Munch! Makes my mouth water just to think of them. Delicious. Prawn Cocktail, probably every Mums favorite. We drank irl Bru like water when I was a kid, but now, it’s a nostalgia drink, somewhat to sweet for me. Do not let the kids near it before bed😮! The rest of the scores where fair i think, but we definitely need more of these down the road. Looking forward to you trip. Plenty of scenery please, I’m a long way from home.
Thanks for sharing! We will definitely revisit the marmite when prepared properly and will report back. Went to the Hermitage today and attempted to get some scenic shots. Quite busy on a beautiful Sunday though 😅 Soaking up this amazing weather!
A quick tip, always buy your Scotch pies from the local butchers, much less cereal and more meat, usually filled to the brim too. Big up the Irn Bru,Try Tunnocks Caramel Logs,and I totally prefer Golden Wonder Fully flavoured Crisps.
Am suffering from sciatica right now and feeling sorry for myself. I watched your video and you both cheered me up. You are so genuine, humorous and pleasant. Thank you so much. You are very brave attempting some of these so-called delights! Marmite, scoth eggs or Iron Brew😢😢😢😅 Bring on more videos please!
What the hell are you doing to poor Annie making her eat neat Marmite! 🤣🤣🤣Has to be on buttered toast very thinly spread with a cup of tea. I love Marmite nom nom nom. As for your Cherry Bakewell scores - get thee gone from our shores - no longer welcome! Bannished forthwith!
I burst out laughing when you tried the Marmite. First time I had was in New Zealand, I gagged to say the least. I would love the first two & I’ve had the biscuit with jam, pretty good. I also was intrigued by the pickled onion since I drink pickle juice. The rest maybe not. Definite no to the candies.
The jaffa cakes are officially cakes, when they came out, they called them cakes, because there was no VAT(tax) on cakes, but there is VAT on buscuits, it went to court and they won, with the ruling being a cake, i think it was in 1991
Jaffa Cakes predated VAT - they first came out in 1927, and VAT was introduced in 1972. The VAT Tribunal, in which the classification of Jaffa Cakes was established was, as you said, in 1991.
@@carolineskipper6976 yes i know the date they came out, just for the comment, i just gave them upto date info, it was HMRC who took them to court, my wifes favourite, she can do a packet watching box sets
I love scotch eggs; just finished one, rated 10. Prawn cocktail, 2. Marmite, minus 1. Dodgers, 5. Jaffa, 5. Bakewell, 10 (Sainsbury's are identical, at half the price). Teacake, 6. Milkybar, minus 2. Winegums, 5. Don't know the rest.
In defence of Marmite. Non Brits/Australians generally despise Marmite, but I have to say folks, a lot of it is that you really don't understand it or how to eat it. As a lady of 76 who was brought up from a baby on it, it's one of my favourites, but it needs to go very sparingly onto hot, lavishly buttered toast. If you are going to be all tense about the quantity of butter then it's a waste of time even trying it as it will never taste anything but HORRIBLE. And there are plenty of my fellow Brits who would agree with you anyway. Marmite education needs to start in baby/childhood. Don't be suprised If it knocks you over if you choose to fork it into your mouth. You definitely can't ever get a palate for it after that!
Irn Bru is unique, and it cannot be compared or contrasted to any other soft fizzy drinks. It also outsells Coca-Cola in Scotland. As a marmite lover, even I was horrified for you when you used a fork and loaded it with the stuff... OMG!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The TINIEST amount goes a LOOOONG way on toast, and a small amount mixed into Heinz Baked Beans is amazing
Jaffa Cakes even went to court to prove their cake status, as cakes are VAT exempt, the court ruled they are cakes as the base drys out, if it were a biscuit the base would become soggy.
i mean, i love marmite but even for me just taking a scoop out the jar is a madness lol. You guys took enough there for at least one nice slice of toast. True test would be on a mothers pride plain loaf, toasted with lurpak butter and some marmite. Elite levels there
Stovies made with square steak slice One big pot dinner. ... Fry your sausage once cooked put oan a plate. Fry your onions in the grease from the sausage. Cut yer tatties , carrot and turnip into mouth size pieces. put yer vedgies into the large pot, cut yer square sausage into six pieces and put into the pot along with yer cooked onions. Crush two oxo cubes into the pot and shake about a teaspoon o steak seasoning ( I shake it in I don't measure as I ken whit we like) cover with boiling water and cook for about fifty minutes till the potatoes and veg are soft. Drain some o the fluid into a jug and mix some gravy granuals to thicken it add two tablespoons o H.P. Brown sauce in and add to the pot enjoy. I also have a Steamed fruit Dumpling recipe from my m/in/law, four oors steaming time for this if you want to try it.
@@SimpleScottishLivinglove stories but I wouldn't fry the onions in the fat from the sausages unless you want blocked arteries lol.Square sausage has so much fat in them depending where you buy then from but I agree Stovies with HP sauce on a cold day =delightful!.
For the perfect Marmite taste test try toasting a “genuine” crumpet (not to be confused with an ‘English’ muffin as there’s no such thing here, they are just called *muffins…* a crumpet is a crumpet!) …. So Toast a crumpet until it goes crispy on the top (but not burnt!) put it on a little plate, then slather it with heaps of fresh dairy butter until the butter drips right through the crumpet holes! Then… with a SMIDGE! (as in a small amount until you get used to the taste of it) of Marmite on your knife, spread it over the top of the crumpet. Carefully pick up your crumpet and just bite into it …. The mix of hot crumpet, melty butter and the taste of Marmite will be a deep joy! Trust me, it’s the truth! Can’t wait to see you do a proper Marmite taste test…. Eating some off of a fork? 😖😲😧 *shaking my head in shock horror at the taste and sensation of it* 😱🤣🤣
This is one of the funniest taste tests I've seen. I'm a Brit so I should be offended by your low scores, but I just feel bad that now you've moved to the UK, you're going to have to get used to all these weird tasting snacks! 🤣
I am going to give my fav USA dish, my aunt moved to Long Island in NY early 1960's and she came home for trips every year and always brought us lots of USA stuff, but my fav has to be meatloaf, and to this day we love it and it still gets made in all our homes. xoxox
Okay, I’ll have a Walker’s prawn cocktail crisps with a dollop of marmite followed with a Tunnocks tea cake chaser….. and then perhaps a dram of whatever whiskey is close by! 😁🥰💙 Fun video, thank you for the laughs!
Hi guys, here in Australia we had the same ad for the milky bar kid.... probs alot of similarities.... With Marmite or vegemite, hot toast smothered in butter with just a wafer thin - almost see through - spread of either one. It gives you a hint of flavour. If making a stew in a crockpot add a tblspoon to the liquid its increases the richness of it... Scotch eggs delicious, but try again with the yolk not so well done... a little bit softer 10 x better
Your missus looks like Valarie Allman,I spent the whole video thinking where do I know this woman from? 😁 Should have stuck those pies on morning rolls btw 👍
Great vlog Zac and Annie 👍 Caramac bars were discontinued last year 😢 I like a Wham bar but mine are always quite soft, I don't know where you bought your bar from?? 🤔😉 I love how Annie gives things at least a couple of tastes, apart from the Marmite 🤢 when you go visiting the south of England you have to get Annie to try the pie, mash and liquor (parsley sauce) a dish originally from East London but available in all parts of London and places outside of the area. It's best with chilli vinegar and salt....lush 😍 The two of you are like a breath of fresh air, I'm looking forward to seeing your next vlog ❤
Irn Bru tastes a bit like Root Beer mixed with Germoline, but I love it. Thats why Marmite has it's own taste, again I love it, better spread on a nicely buttered piece of toast and maybe a layer of Peanut Butter with it, or on Cheese on Toast. Refresher Bars are the Original Wham is a rip off
I adore Marmite, but if I ate it the way you did just now, I think I'd hate it forever. It's supposed to be spread thinly over toast or something. It's really nice on thick buttered hot toast and on a large slice you'd use a quarter of what you ate off a fork.
OK, I almost un-subscribed when you scored the Jaffa cakes. My wife and I love them but rarely purchase them because it is so hard to not finish the box in one sitting. I am surprised you didn’t have a Lees’s Macroon bar, Snowball or some delicious tablet. Keep the videos coming.
A suggestion to try: Baked Rice Pudding. My favourite if it's really dry and can be sliced with a knife! Some people have a little cinnamon sprinkled on 😆
hi guys i have a great recommendation for you to come and experience ....the biggest highland games in the world which is in the beautiful town Dunoon on Saturday 27th August...hope to see you here and i know you will love it
Scotch eggs ae much much better when they are fresh from a good restaurant. They are hot, the yolk is still running and they are incredible as a starter.

That is my pet hate , as a Scot living in the USA . I'm amazed how Americans can't use a knife and fork . Jaffa cake is a fruit in scotland 🙂
To be fair, Marmite should eaten thinly spread on hot toast.

Dalkieth Country Park is lovely and a short drive from Edinburgh, but we also love taking a day trip to North Berwick!
When I was young in the UK (some decades ago sadly), Oranges were imported from Jaffa in Israel - hence the name. The controversy over biscuit v cake came about because in the UK cakes are taxed differently than biscuits (Why is a mystery!) which resulted in a law suit. They were defined legally as cakes much to McVitie's relief as otherwise the VAT would have been collected retroactively - millions of pounds apparently.. Just a little history!
Oh wow - thanks for sharing!
I think you maybe wrong. Jaffa' came from South Africa.
I transported fruit and veg in the early 90's and all Jaffa fruit was from South Africa.........
Most of our lemons were from Cyprus, but a few came from Israel.
Each box of fruit has a COO, and Seville oranges were from Spain, the rest came from South Africa.........
@@juniusvindex769Jaffa is a place in Israel where that particular cultivar of orange was bred in the 19th century. It can of course be be grown anywhere with a suitable climate, and these days they do come from many places, and I think not many come from Jaffa itself as it is now a pretty urban environment. However, I don’t know when the shift of production location happened, nor does the original poster give any clues as to how old they are (other than some decades ago) so they may be correct.
Edit. Just done a bit of research and it appears many of the orange groves in Jaffa disappeared in the late 1940s so quite possible for someone to have grown up in a period when the imports did actually come from Jaffa itself.
@@simonrobbins8357 I am talking about the 1950's. But it certainly is possible that this variety of Orange was grown elsewhere such as South Africa, no doubt. They were a very large Orange with thick peel. They were certainly labelled as Jaffa Oranges.
@@juniusvindex769 I don't think that is correct. Jaffa Oranges were from Israel - from Jaffa but South African Oranges were OUTSPAN.
FYI... Scotch eggs are NOT a Scottish creation. I believe they originate from Yorkshire in England.
Scotch pies on the other hand are Scottish and are delicious. But you can't buy them in England.
Coca Cola is the No 1 drink in every country of the world except Scotland where it is Irn Bru.
Caramac was discontinued several years ago. But I believe you can get 'versions' of it (not the original recipe one).
Thanks for sharing!!
Fortnum & Mason claim they invented the scotch egg, Holland’s make scotch pies and they’re a northern England company, they’re nice 😊
Yeah.. It was believed to originate from Fortnum & Mason in the early 1700s. The original name was thought to be Scorched Eggs due to the way it was baked initially - But shortened to Scotch ( probably from mispronounciation)
I’m so glad I came across the two of you. I am really enjoying your content and cheerful personalities. I look forward to more. This was a good video and I did laugh a lot. Watching from sunny Wales 😎
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment! Happy to have you joining ❤️
Annie's laugh is infectious😅
Thank you ❤️
22:09 - the deep thought into the milkybar is great 😂
The best thing to go with a Scotch Pie is Heinz beans and chips with brown sauce. 😋
Mmmm sounds delicious ❤️
I Had an order of scotch pies 🥧 delivered from Scotland last week, ate 5 straight away. Love them grew up with them with Scottish 🏴 parents.
They’re delicious when from the butcher! Our scores likely would’ve been 10/10.
Try a homemade scotch egg. Scotch eggs should have a semi runny yolk. Try Dandelion and Burdock, a very distinctive drink. Bread and Butter pudding. The love/hate thing with Marmite has spawned a saying that has come into common usage. People will often say that something "is a Marmite thing", i.e. something you either love or hate. Love the videos btw.
Thanks so much for watching! We’ll definitely try these. And yes, marmite seems to be an acquired taste, but we do plan to try it again when prepared the proper way!
Cold Irn Bru perfect for a hangover
Tunnocks teacake.....my favourite 😍
Caramac has been withdrawn earlier this year loved them as a kid.
😩😢
@@SimpleScottishLivingthere's still some shops like B&M that you can buy caramac from but they are usually in bigger towns or cities
Cherry bakewell are my favourite Mr Kipling cakes.
Hi Zach and Annie. You two are great!
Thank you 😊
Suggestions for food... cullen skink? Steak and kidney pie? Rhubarb crumble? Scottish lamb? Lobster or crab with salad( not typically just Scottish but we loved having freshly caught ones mostly from dives off the east coast). For sweeties, if you have an old fashioned sweetshop with loose sweets in jars, try asking for 4ozs of a mixture of Scottish ones. We have alots of Scottish made ice cream too so if you're out and about then look for parlours in various towns. I can't remember many names but Janettas in St. Andrews, Visocchi's in Broughty Ferry, Luca's in Musselborough. Mackies is also available from the supermarkets. Scones. Organic duck eggs and, when in season, try a goose egg. I'm sure you'll have plenty of suggestions.
Thank you for these suggestions! Eager to try many of these. And Luca’s is already a family favorite! ❤️
Cullen skink is fab ,,,,,then you have all the regional foods too
Caramel wafers
HAHAHHA! The Marmite reaction was 100% brilliant. Needs to be THINLY spread on buttered toast for maximum effect!
@@eoint2524 🤣 We’ll try it again the proper way!!
Cakes dry out, biscuits go soggy. Jaffa Cakes dry out so are cakes.
Its actually been ruled on in court that Jaffa cakes are indeed cakes .
I think the most relevant fact that makes it clear that Jaffa Cakes are cakes, is that they're cakes made from cake mix.
I don't know how anyone can get this wrong.
In 1991, after a long and costly dispute between HM Revenue and customs (HMRC) and McVities it was ruled in Court that Jaffa Cakes are indeed cakes and not biscuits. Decision based on the fact that biscuits, left out of their packaging always go soggy. Cakes don't. It's an important judgement because a chocolate covered biscuit would be subject to Value Added Tax, whereas a chocolate covered cake is not.
cakes can be scaled up, biscuits can't, so McVities made a giant Jaffa Cake for "evidence" during their court case with HMRC
@@timrobertson1571 I think every British person knows this story, but somehow don't know the difference between a biscuit and a cake.
ADVICE: I just wanted to say that I was instantly attracted to your videos bc of your big move to Scotland and would love to see more DITL or videos showing your life overseas as opposed to the sit down videos. You're in such a beautiful place and it's a shame to not show your new life. I look forward to watching your channel grow!
Thanks for the feedback! We hope to showcase as much as possible. Haven’t been out too much in the first 2 months with all the ongoing house renovations and kids finishing up school, but we can’t wait to see more and share it with everyone ❤️
@@SimpleScottishLiving, for those of us in Scotlabd I think most have us have just enjoyed your enthusiasm and find quite a lot of your viewpoints and experiences really interesting and how you explain for those of us unfamiliar with the USA, what it's like.
Me thinks Zach that you have a sweet tooth😂.
@@SimpleScottishLivingyour welcome and I completely understand. For just starting a UA-cam channel your doing really great. So glad I stumbled across your videos!
@@lynneserman6054 quite possibly 😅
Scotch Woodcock? Buttered toast with Patum Paparium spread thinly...delicious!
scotch pies really good with onion gravy and mixed steamed veg with mashed potato
scotch egg great with salads or conrish pasties and beans or heated up and with mixed steamed veg and gravy
marmite they changed the recipe it isnt like it used to be...
cant go wrong with dodgers... great with tea or milk...
jaffacakes are a cake that are the size of a buscuit...
cherry bakewells also better with a cup of tea...
tea cakes always great for kids in pack lunches... a great snack that doesnt fill your tunny bfore dinner...
milkybar bar one of my old favorites, i myself, my kids and grand kids all grew up eating these to keep em quiet...
caramac was discontinued but was another tasty treat.
wham bars i used to roll up and put all of it in my mouth and let it melt and suck on it for hours... there was a similar one that had popping candy inside which was another favorite as a kid...
wine gums another one that changed the recipe... they were alot better 20 years ago... fruity and chewy now they taste artificial...
Interesting - thanks for sharing! Yes, I think a cup of tea could’ve improved these scores 😊
You two are so fun to watch! I’m heading to the UK from California the beginning of October with my daughter, her husband and his mother & we’re staying in Scotland for 4 nights. Great idea to do actual taste testing of the local snacks. Unfortunately my daughter & I have celiac disease so we will be missing out on some of the yummy foods. If you stumble upon great gluten free options, please pass those on. I know my son in law will enjoy many of the ones you shared in this video. By the way, I love that you brought a bit of California with you with the picture of the poppies behind you ❤ I grew up in the Bay Area.
Thanks so much for watching! We hope you have a lovely time ❤️ Not sure about the GF restaurants, but I’ll keep you posted if/when we come across any!
Fair enough, Marmite isn't for either of you- but eating it like that.......ain't no-one gonna enjoy that! (Unless you are already a great fan!) HAS to be eaten on hot buttered toast, VERY thinly spread! Or used in small amounts to pep up savoury sauces - like brown meat gravy, casseroles or meaty pasta sauces.
The Jaffa cake is legally a cake, after a court case in which it was hotly debated. The issue was that cakes are exempt from VAT, but biscuits are not. The deciding factor was that cakes go hard when stale and biscuits go soggy when stale. Your Jaffa cake goes hard, ergo it is a cake. But it's always sold in the biscuit aisle, not the cake aisle......
Good to know! And we will definitely try marmite prepared the correct way during our next taste testing video. It deserves a fair shot!
Nice, try video. What fun! 🤍 Jess x
Thanks, Jess! ❤️
Watching anyone taste Marmite and seeing their response is brilliant.
It was…surprising! 🤣 It’s delicious when prepared the proper way though. I’m a true convert - Annie
Guys Guys guys! Even as a Marmite lover, I would never eat it like that. If you fancy trying it again properly, lovely warm toast with butter and spread that marmite nice n thin.
The pie, if you eat it just plain like that, you need to get from a butcher to get that proper savory taste, or as Zack said with your preference of sauce. I’m a brown sauce man myself, but whatever you prefer. They are also delicious cover in baked beans.
Pickled Onion Monster Munch! Makes my mouth water just to think of them. Delicious.
Prawn Cocktail, probably every Mums favorite.
We drank irl Bru like water when I was a kid, but now, it’s a nostalgia drink, somewhat to sweet for me. Do not let the kids near it before bed😮!
The rest of the scores where fair i think, but we definitely need more of these down the road. Looking forward to you trip. Plenty of scenery please, I’m a long way from home.
I have always and still do
Absolutely _DETEST_ any prawn cocktail snacks...
And I _don't_ like Irn Bru _at all_ ...
Thanks for sharing! We will definitely revisit the marmite when prepared properly and will report back. Went to the Hermitage today and attempted to get some scenic shots. Quite busy on a beautiful Sunday though 😅 Soaking up this amazing weather!
A quick tip, always buy your Scotch pies from the local butchers, much less cereal and more meat, usually filled to the brim too. Big up the Irn Bru,Try Tunnocks Caramel Logs,and I totally prefer Golden Wonder Fully flavoured Crisps.
The caramel logs are 10/10! Eager to try the pies from the butcher. I’m sure they’ll be delicious.
Am suffering from sciatica right now and feeling sorry for myself. I watched your video and you both cheered me up. You are so genuine, humorous and pleasant. Thank you so much.
You are very brave attempting some of these so-called delights! Marmite, scoth eggs or Iron Brew😢😢😢😅
Bring on more videos please!
Thank you for watching, and we hope your sciatica symptoms lessen soon for you. ❤️
What the hell are you doing to poor Annie making her eat neat Marmite! 🤣🤣🤣Has to be on buttered toast very thinly spread with a cup of tea. I love Marmite nom nom nom. As for your Cherry Bakewell scores - get thee gone from our shores - no longer welcome! Bannished forthwith!
Marmite is so delicious, but you need to have it on hot toast with butter. Vegemite is even better
I like Marmite but I think Vegemite is absolutely vile.
We have to try it the proper way for sure!!
Loved the vlog,maybe try all the different sponges cakes,like carrot cake,date and walnut and coffee cake 😊
I burst out laughing when you tried the Marmite. First time I had was in New Zealand, I gagged to say the least. I would love the first two & I’ve had the biscuit with jam, pretty good. I also was intrigued by the pickled onion since I drink pickle juice. The rest maybe not. Definite no to the candies.
Haha! We did marmite dirty though🤣 we gave it a fair chance at the end of our holiday to Dunkeld video, and Annie is a convert!
The jaffa cakes are officially cakes, when they came out, they called them cakes, because there was no VAT(tax) on cakes, but there is VAT on buscuits, it went to court and they won, with the ruling being a cake, i think it was in 1991
Jaffa Cakes predated VAT - they first came out in 1927, and VAT was introduced in 1972. The VAT Tribunal, in which the classification of Jaffa Cakes was established was, as you said, in 1991.
@@carolineskipper6976 yes i know the date they came out, just for the comment, i just gave them upto date info, it was HMRC who took them to court, my wifes favourite, she can do a packet watching box sets
Love hearing about this. We did more reading up because it’s quite interesting!
I love scotch eggs; just finished one, rated 10. Prawn cocktail, 2. Marmite, minus 1. Dodgers, 5. Jaffa, 5. Bakewell, 10 (Sainsbury's are identical, at half the price). Teacake, 6. Milkybar, minus 2. Winegums, 5. Don't know the rest.
We definitely need to have a good scotch egg soon! Your scores on horribly off from ours.
Jaffa cake- Cakes go hard when stale and biscuits go soft. Jaffas go hard!!
Laughed at the Marmite 😂, Roll & Square on a Crispy Glasgow Roll Red or Brown sauce Yum
@@mlz2368 we gave marmite a second try the proper way. Much better!!!
😂Watched Both back to back What a Laugh
You need to try proper Stowaway black-pudding. It’s absolutely amazing with a poached egg.
Will do!
*Stornoway. It's on a Scottish Island.
In defence of Marmite. Non Brits/Australians generally despise Marmite, but I have to say folks, a lot of it is that you really don't understand it or how to eat it. As a lady of 76 who was brought up from a baby on it, it's one of my favourites, but it needs to go very sparingly onto hot, lavishly buttered toast. If you are going to be all tense about the quantity of butter then it's a waste of time even trying it as it will never taste anything but HORRIBLE. And there are plenty of my fellow Brits who would agree with you anyway. Marmite education needs to start in baby/childhood. Don't be suprised If it knocks you over if you choose to fork it into your mouth. You definitely can't ever get a palate for it after that!
We’re going to prepare it the proper way at and give it a fair chance! Stay tuned for our next video :)
Irn Bru is unique, and it cannot be compared or contrasted to any other soft fizzy drinks. It also outsells Coca-Cola in Scotland. As a marmite lover, even I was horrified for you when you used a fork and loaded it with the stuff... OMG!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The TINIEST amount goes a LOOOONG way on toast, and a small amount mixed into Heinz Baked Beans is amazing
Haha the marmite was a complete disaster!! We redid the taste test at the end of our British Dunkeld holiday video, and Annie is now a true convert!
Marmite is yummy, applied properly. Nice in stews, too.
We’ve given it another go. Delicious when done properly!
Jaffa Cakes even went to court to prove their cake status, as cakes are VAT exempt, the court ruled they are cakes as the base drys out, if it were a biscuit the base would become soggy.
Wow, this is interesting! Just read up on the case!
Wine Gums are my favourite. You can get them in Canada where I live.
The treat I remember is coconut snowballs.
A local treat for me is a Nanaimo Bar, named after the city that I live in now, Nanaimo.
We’ll see if we can find those!
And if you want more chocolate try a drifter, lion bar chocolate orange 😊
pie chips and beans .
Mmmmm sounds good!
i mean, i love marmite but even for me just taking a scoop out the jar is a madness lol. You guys took enough there for at least one nice slice of toast. True test would be on a mothers pride plain loaf, toasted with lurpak butter and some marmite. Elite levels there
Sounds much better already! We’ll give it a proper try in an upcoming video!
Stovies made with square steak slice One big pot dinner. ... Fry your sausage once cooked put oan a plate. Fry your onions in the grease from the sausage. Cut yer tatties , carrot and turnip into mouth size pieces. put yer vedgies into the large pot, cut yer square sausage into six pieces and put into the pot along with yer cooked onions. Crush two oxo cubes into the pot and shake about a teaspoon o steak seasoning ( I shake it in I don't measure as I ken whit we like) cover with boiling water and cook for about fifty minutes till the potatoes and veg are soft. Drain some o the fluid into a jug and mix some gravy granuals to thicken it add two tablespoons o H.P. Brown sauce in and add to the pot enjoy. I also have a Steamed fruit Dumpling recipe from my m/in/law, four oors steaming time for this if you want to try it.
My mouth is watering! Need to make this as soon as we’re settled in on a cold day. Can’t wait! ❤️
@@SimpleScottishLivinglove stories but I wouldn't fry the onions in the fat from the sausages unless you want blocked arteries lol.Square sausage has so much fat in them depending where you buy then from but I agree Stovies with HP sauce on a cold day =delightful!.
I love scotch pies and always used to make scotch eggs at New Years Eve
Sounds wonderful! We want to get a good scotch pie and try again. No doubt it will be delicious.
For the perfect Marmite taste test try toasting a “genuine” crumpet (not to be confused with an ‘English’ muffin as there’s no such thing here, they are just called *muffins…* a crumpet is a crumpet!) …. So
Toast a crumpet until it goes crispy on the top (but not burnt!) put it on a little plate, then slather it with heaps of fresh dairy butter until the butter drips right through the crumpet holes! Then… with a SMIDGE! (as in a small amount until you get used to the taste of it) of Marmite on your knife, spread it over the top of the crumpet.
Carefully pick up your crumpet and just bite into it …. The mix of hot crumpet, melty butter and the taste of Marmite will be a deep joy! Trust me, it’s the truth!
Can’t wait to see you do a proper Marmite taste test…. Eating some off of a fork? 😖😲😧 *shaking my head in shock horror at the taste and sensation of it* 😱🤣🤣
🤣🤣 Saving this comment so that we can do a proper taste test and hopefully give marmite a fair chance!
Also Tunnocks should go" Down in one"😸👍
Annie should be reported for not giving tunnocks tea cakes 10/10
🤣
Haggis is just a kind of sausage. There are lots of sausages in Germany that look like a haggis.
This is one of the funniest taste tests I've seen. I'm a Brit so I should be offended by your low scores, but I just feel bad that now you've moved to the UK, you're going to have to get used to all these weird tasting snacks! 🤣
Haha thanks for watching! Marmite has grown on me though, and I’m a true convert now after trying it the proper way! - Annie
Hi Zach and Annie great video ( try mince and tatties ,also black pudding and stovies mmmmmmmmmmm xx
Will do! That’s a family fave 😊
Aw you can not beat a scotch pie. thanks again nice video 👍🏴
Thank you! The scotch pie was good - can’t wait to get a proper one from the butcher!
I am going to give my fav USA dish, my aunt moved to Long Island in NY early 1960's and she came home for trips every year and always brought us lots of USA stuff, but my fav has to be meatloaf, and to this day we love it and it still gets made in all our homes. xoxox
Love a good meatloaf!
Marmite washed down by Irn Bru......Never thought I'd see the day.
@@andrewmcfarlane5040 🤣
Okay, I’ll have a Walker’s prawn cocktail crisps with a dollop of marmite followed with a Tunnocks tea cake chaser….. and then perhaps a dram of whatever whiskey is close by! 😁🥰💙
Fun video, thank you for the laughs!
That sounds good! Might have to give this a try 😉
Irn Bru with a Scotch Pie n chips. Or Irn Bru with a morning after a heavy night's greasy breakfast.
Love your videos folks !!! Thankyou
Thank you!!
Isle of Man TT winner Richard Quayle was nick-named "Milky" because of his resemblance to the kid in the advert.
Good to know!
Hi guys, here in Australia we had the same ad for the milky bar kid.... probs alot of similarities.... With Marmite or vegemite, hot toast smothered in butter with just a wafer thin - almost see through - spread of either one. It gives you a hint of flavour. If making a stew in a crockpot add a tblspoon to the liquid its increases the richness of it... Scotch eggs delicious, but try again with the yolk not so well done... a little bit softer 10 x better
We will revisit the marmite and prepare the correct way during our next taste testing video! ❤️
The correct amount of marmite for one slice of toast is about the size of a pea. It should be almost invisible when spread, on buttered toast.
We definitely need to revisit this and give it another shot!
This was really interesting and fun, but it really doesn't matter what you post because you two are so darn cute together!! Love your channel! :)
Thanks for the comment! Happy to have you joining :) It feels like date night every time we get to record 😀
I really like Haggis, have it once in a while. Even had haggis lasagne once, when visiting Ullapool. Never seen it anywhere else up here though.
Love haggis! That was one of Annie’s first ever meals in Scotland at Zach’s Granny’s house.
I have marmite on toast and then peanut butter for breakfast every morning. I like the salty taste it gives the peanut butter. Yummy.
We’ll have to try it that way!
I am here for the pickled onion monster munch. Sooooooo good
Yes!!🙌
Your missus looks like Valarie Allman,I spent the whole video thinking where do I know this woman from? 😁 Should have stuck those pies on morning rolls btw 👍
I love marmite, monster munch and Jaffa cakes😅😂xx
Presumably you use the marmite to glue the monster munch onto the Jaffa Cake.
I bought a pack of Caramac bars yesterday in "B & M".
Great vlog Zac and Annie 👍 Caramac bars were discontinued last year 😢 I like a Wham bar but mine are always quite soft, I don't know where you bought your bar from?? 🤔😉
I love how Annie gives things at least a couple of tastes, apart from the Marmite 🤢 when you go visiting the south of England you have to get Annie to try the pie, mash and liquor (parsley sauce) a dish originally from East London but available in all parts of London and places outside of the area. It's best with chilli vinegar and salt....lush 😍
The two of you are like a breath of fresh air, I'm looking forward to seeing your next vlog ❤
Thanks for joining! Glad you enjoyed :) We’re hoping to have a vlog for next Sunday!
Irn Bru tastes a bit like Root Beer mixed with Germoline, but I love it. Thats why Marmite has it's own taste, again I love it, better spread on a nicely buttered piece of toast and maybe a layer of Peanut Butter with it, or on Cheese on Toast. Refresher Bars are the Original Wham is a rip off
We need to give marmite a second chance after preparing it the proper way! Irn Bru was much better than expected!
Jelly babies are far nicer than wine gums.
I adore Marmite, but if I ate it the way you did just now, I think I'd hate it forever. It's supposed to be spread thinly over toast or something. It's really nice on thick buttered hot toast and on a large slice you'd use a quarter of what you ate off a fork.
We’ve since learned! We tried it again in our holiday to Dunkeld video, and Annie is now converted!
@@SimpleScottishLiving 💛
LOL I have a sugar rush after watching that!! LOL...😂😂😂
Great seeing your reactions.
Scotch pie is great, I get mine from the Butcher. Ooh, Irn Bru, my Grandsons visited recently and loved it. It got a solid thumbs up.
I bet from the butcher would be amazing! We’ll need to try our local spot.
OK, I almost un-subscribed when you scored the Jaffa cakes. My wife and I love them but rarely purchase them because it is so hard to not finish the box in one sitting. I am surprised you didn’t have a Lees’s Macroon bar, Snowball or some delicious tablet. Keep the videos coming.
@@davidf3696 Sorry to disappoint 🤣 Only reason we didn’t do the others is because Annie’s already tried those! Thanks for watching!
A suggestion to try: Baked Rice Pudding. My favourite if it's really dry and can be sliced with a knife! Some people have a little cinnamon sprinkled on 😆
Caramac has been discontinued. It was a huge deal a couple of years ago. Cadburys make caramilk which is the most simular xx
Thanks for the tip! Zach would’ve been devastated.
Caramac is so hard to find these days - this was brilliant 😂

@@Mr19ewan71 We’d absolutely love to make this! Thanks for the heads-up ❤️
jaffa cakes sold as cake to avoid vat , it is a cake because when stale it goes hard where as biscuits go soft when stale..
Good to know!
Annie, I write my number 8 the same way you do! thought I was the only one! 😂
Great minds think alike 😉🙌
You could do drinks next: vimto, ribena, tenants if you drink alcoho, Robinsons summer fruits (pink one).
Good idea!
Scotch eggs ae much much better when they are fresh from a good restaurant. They are hot, the yolk is still running and they are incredible as a starter.
I’ll be trying a fresh one as soon as I see it on the menu! - Annie
