Great goodie box Stu should of put some pickled onion monster munch in. I’ve seen a few videos Americans trying British snacks and they all seem to love the po monster munch.
HP stands for "Houses of Parliament" where it was invented by the canteen chef. A lot of the political staff had spent time in India (the Raj) and had developed a taste for spices and asked him to make a similar sauce, unfortunately the chef hadn't been anywhere near India, nor did he have a lot of the ingredients so had to go on hearsay as to what the ingredients might be and wing it with what he didn't have. And HP sauce is what resulted, it comes in two types....and always did...he tried a couple of blends the other has a higher fruit content and is known as (predictably) "HP Fruity". Great with sausages, grilled cheese etc...again, use fairly sparingly.
It's gloopy and cheap now, when it was made in Birmingham, the water was from a natural spring, in the factory, also it never had that gel stuff in it, filler that is horrible, the olde one was really tangy, warm and spicy,
Fun fact about Jaffa cakes, they ended up in court over taxation, chocolate biscuits (cookies,) get an extra tax as "luxury goods" and the state argued that it was a biscuit. McVities baked a big Jaffa cake and brought it to court and showed that as it went stale it went dry and harder, rather than soft and soggier like a biscuit.....thus winning their case.....and enshrining the definition between a cake and a biscuit in British law for ever.
@@lewilewis3944 Biscuit tends toward cake and cake tends toward biscuit. It must be to do with the circle of life or yin and yang or something all spiritual like that.
I was smiling from ear to ear seeing you both smile opening the box and finding all the gifts - such a wholesome video HP sauce - has to go on a "butty", circular bread, like burger bread. With Bacon or Sausage, or Egg, or Black Pudding, or all of these combined. The Great British debate is Ketchup or HP!
Stu has done you proud. Probably the nicest way to give someone type 2 diabetes. Marmite has divided whole families with a love/hate thing. I love it, but you're right, it's definitely a 'less is more' condiment. It's also a great cooking ingredient, a couple of teaspoons in a beef casserole is a chefs trick for a meatier gravy, which is ironic as it doesn't have any meat in. I'm assuming that you're going to do a taste test vid? Can't wait, Stu has sent you some quality stuff, I'm sure you're going to love it. When you make a brew remember that the biscuits need to be dunked. I love Ginger Nuts dunked in strong, sweet tea, lush. I'm actually drooling as I write this. Be lucky, guys, the madness is almost over and you have the best comfort food to see you through some tricky times.
@@mham83 Yes Mike, I drank someone’s glass of whisky when I was five. Somehow it hasn’t stopped my inclination😀 in that there direction! However, Dave should not only try a table spoonful of English mustard, but a phaal curry would help him understand the subtlety of English Indian spice combinations!
To make a proper English tea, boil the water, then add the water and tea bag per mug/cup. Add sugger for taste (I'm a 2 tea spoons) then after about 2 minutes remove tea bag. Then add milk. Stir well. Dunk biscuits (cookies) into tea
described like a true blue English man. i would suggest just one sugar for your first mug then add to suit your taste you can put more in you cant take it out Enjoy
Stu smashed it! Dave's face throughout was hilarious, like a kid on Christmas morning! Get that HP sauce all over your Full English brekkie! Also get a nice big fluffy jacket potato baked, pour hot baked beans over and sprinkle grated cheese on top (or first if you're so inclined), and a squirt of the HP on the top, magic!
Dan is spot on about using the HP Sauce, Baked Potato , a little butter forked into the finished potato, then cover in beans and cheese then add HP as desired.
Absolutely love your genuine , humble reactions . Great video . Beans aren't just for breakfast . Try them on toast , then some grated cheese that you melt . Add to ground beef and make a cottage pie , serve with han , egg and chips
Love the video thumbnail with Dave about to eat a teaspoon of marmite. I thought, no... surely not! ooooohhh clickbait! I'm looking forward to seeing how you like it used sparingly on buttered toast. :)
Marmite newbies should have it spread thinly on hot buttered toast. But it can also be used as ingredieant in loads of savoury dishes. I like to put it in soups, in pasta, in stews and in gravy.
What a brilliant video! You guys are amazing - Dave is like a child at Christmas, your enthusiasm is contagious, and no offence meant but Tara is so gorgeous. I'm loving your videos and wish you every success. Well done Stu also for your generosity.
Toast with butter and Marmite with soft boiled eggs is my favourite. You don't need any extra salt. The Marmite is salty enough. Only a tiny amount of Marmite and add more to taste.
We also call them hazelnuts well but the bar is called whole nut that because it is whole hazelnuts not chips/flakes. The centre of Maltesers is malted barley. HP sauce goes great blathered on English breakfasts, sausages, bacon, any meat and chunky English chips. Marmite goes well on toast but you can make broth with it or add some bite to gravy, or even those baked beans.
Plenty of butter on the toast and just a sliver of marmite is the correct way to eat it, marmite also goes well with egg! Dip the biscuits in the tea especially the hobnobs as they're abit dry. The hp brown sauce goes well with sausages, bacon etc.
As an American living in England - Milky Way England equals 3 Musketeers, mars bar England = Milky Way US, and a Bounty is a Mounds bar, have fun! oh and fruit Pastilles (past-ills) are good, I hope you got some wine gums for you wine, (only five minutes in) x
Can't beat a cup of tea. One truism of the Brits is tea drinking for every occasion. Become ill, have a cuppa. Bad day, have a cuppa and my gran used to give sweet tea if you were in shock at someone passing! Making it is simple. Pour boiling water into a mug with tea bag in. Leave for a few minutes. Remove tea bag. Add milk (and possibly sugar) to your taste. Sorted.
Tea bags!!! you you heathen. Tea leaves in warmed tea pot with boiling (not warm) water poured on the leaves. then leave for 3 - 4 minutes to brew (infuse). Then pour into a cup or a mug with milk and or not sugar according to your taste A Tea bag in a mug is awful unless you have no option. Then its "any port in storm" meaning if you have to use bags if you have no choice. Like when you are travelling.
When I was a kid I tried Marmite without adult supervision and spread it to thickly , many many years later I tried it again but this time I got it right and now I love the stuff Cheers
You need to try baked beans on hot buttered toast. That is how we tend to eat them. HP stands for Houses of Parliament. We put brown sauce on things like bacon sandwiches or breakfasts or on our chips (fries).
@@thethirstythrifters4610 If you try the great British snack ‘Beans on (buttered) Toast’ as suggested, please don’t forget to season the beans with Salt and Pepper ( Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper Corns are my preference ) and most important, eat it off a plate using a knife and fork, as you would with any plated meal. If you eat beans on toast, as you might normally eat a slice of toast, in the hand. You will have beans dropping all over the place, as the bean sauce will make the toast very soft and ‘soggy’, it can be done, but, eaten off the plate with the knife and fork is the less messy option.
To hold the beans on the toast you need to grate plenty of cheese on the top and place under the grill for a few mins to melt and you have the 'cheese beano' ...a small dose of HP on the top goes well also.
taste test video required! HP sauce can be used on any savoury food. If you do beans on toast you can put some on that or If you ever find a Scotch Egg, yum! Shame you did not get any English Mustard.
You've had the unwrapping......now do a taste test video.......it has to be done, you know it make sense !!!! HP Sauce on the beans....good luck with the Marmite....you'll be braver than me - I hate the stuff !!!!
After Eights are an after dinner mint that is best eaten with coffee after a meal. In the UK it is a big seller at Christmas time when people eat them after their Christmas Dinner.
That small jar of marmite will only last me a week as EVERYDAY for breakfast i have 3 slices of buttered toast with marmite spread quite thick , i love the stuff , your friend Stu certainly sent you some nice treats i hope you enjoy them and do a video of yourselves trying some of them . 👍👍
I'm like you, love marmite on toast for breakfast. I'm grateful it's one thing my dog doesn't like, I can enjoy it without her scrounging. I don't know if it's true or not but someone recently said to me the distinctive bottle is shaped like that so you can put on edge when it get empty and helps you get to use it all - it does work to a degree,
Take some lightly toasted slices of bread. Spread a light layer of marmite on them. Put some cheese on top, with some paprika and black pepper sprinkled on top of that, and put under a grill to toast the cheese. Delicious.
Only found your channel today ! Spent my afternoon watching ALL the vlogs of your time in the UK. Loved your accounts of your time here. With reference to your reaction to food in the UK , I'm sorely disappointed that you apparently didn't try the UK's number one favourite food ! It's not fish and chips or god forbid "baked Camembert" ! It's "CURRY". Think you have to come back and eat it if only to fully complete your gastronomic appreciation of food here. P.S I love Marmite , got a big jar making faces at me in my food cabinet, daring me to eat it. I take up the challenge and from time to time spread a thin film on some toast, BUT ! spread thick on a crumpet ? ! LMAO , that's a war your mouth is not gonna win .
Whole nut is the recipe, as opposed to Fruit & Nut. There are Hazelnuts and Almonds in there. The HP sauce is best used on your meat at breakfast; Bacon, Sausages and the like. Bacon sandwich is a classic dish for HP sauce.
Considering I have family in the US (My sister lives in Charlotte SC and my Bro & Mum live in NH (Dover) I know just how expensive it is just to ship that box let alone buy the contents as well. My Bro always asks me to send him .. like... 50 Advent Calenders over for him to dish out to his mates So enjoy what Stu has sent you dude. Looks good stuff too
First the guy had to pay for all the items then pay for postage and packing I know my sister sent a box of stuff to my brother who lives in America cost nearly £60 just for postage packaging to send it costs depends on the size and weight of the box
HP Sauce is like A1 Sauce in the US. It's an alternative to ketchup. Have it with your full English breakfast. It's the best of the brown sauces as it contains tamarind amongst other things.
HP sauce is a must on your full English breakfast, we also put it on chips ( French fries to you) bacon sandwiches and maybe a roast dinner etc. The celebrations are one bite mini versions of bigger bars . McVitie's ( your pronunciation is spot on ) is a big biscuit( cookie )company in UK.
Your vids are such fun guys. Thanks Stu, great idea. Dave, I use to hate Marmite as a kid but, you do acquire a taste for it over time. Now I love the stuff and spread it on toast as you would do with a Chocolate spread. .... but that's not normal, even in Britain ! 😂 Tip. After spreading it on toast, put under the grill again until the marmite goes 'crusty' ...you're in for a treat !
It's a little ironic, that HEINZ BAKED BEANS, (HEINZ an American company) which in my view are the best, are made over here in England (near the city of Wigan, THE HEINZ FACTORY) as the beans used themselves, are haricot beans imported here from north america ( i watched a tv programme on the BBC about how they are made, it was called INSIDE THE FACTORY, the sauce is a secret recipe, (only know to a handful of people) the sauce & beans are sealed in the tin and then they are cooked in 3 giant steam ovens the lengths of a 3 football pitches, us BRITS just love our baked beans,, and there are approx 1.5 million tins sold in the UK every day. Beans on toast with a poached egg and a little HP SAUCE- no cheese - and also with a full english breakfast-yummy 🇬🇧👍
H P source mmm really good on bacon sandwich...... Plus good for cleaning copper pans, wipe on pan, leave few minutes rub off using salt and warm water. Results sparkling pans.
Hi Tara and Dave, HP sauce is the best. When my sons American girlfriend came over to England for a visit, I made her grilled cheese on toast with HP sauce. She went crazy for it. I have since sent her and my son a supply over. I really enjoy your videos, I also can't stand Marmite Dave.
The way to make mince pies more palatable is,put them in the microwave for approx 25 seconds,then serve with a dollop of vanilla icecream placed on top of the pie,also will Dave do a public marmite tasting in the near future??
According to some private chefs here in Hollywood, the British Heinz baked beans are better tasting than the American ones as they are more savory and less sweet and therefore more suitable for the full English breakfast.
Absolutely bang on point. Although beans are a recent addition to The Full English, back in the day (I'm old) it was either grilled fresh tomatoes or tinned plum tomatoes with the tomato juice. I like 'em all, beans are fine by me but I won't cry if you serve me a tomato or two.
@@lewilewis3944. I’m a sixty five year old Englishman and beans have always been on my breakfast plate. Branson beans are my personal favourite. The jar of marmite might last a week or so but only if it got lost behind the other jars.
@@tedwarden5803 What can I say, Ted? We were dirt poor but my Grandad grew a ton of tomatoes on his allotment. Tinned tomatoes were definitely posh, a tin of Heinz baked beans was just showing off. I mis the 70's, things were a lot more simple and as a kid the electric power strikes were brilliant and the school strike lasted over 2 months, magic ! We weren't such sheep back then, and everyone in the street knew everyone else and chipped in. Can't say that now, can we?
@@tedwarden5803 We're fellow northerners, I was on Tyneside. But tell that to the kids of today...? Be lucky, Ted, and happy new year, there's no way it can be as crap as the last one.
A teaspoonful of marmite added to a beef or lamb stew makes it very savoury. Also good to add to a bolognese sauce with tomato to go with pasta. It can also be added to vegetarian stews as a flavouring. If you run out of soysauce, it can be used to make a stirfry. To eat on bread or toast, you need about a thumbnail sized bit to spread thinly over butter or margarine. A similar amount can be used on the cheese in a cheese sandwich. I buy a 250g pot about once every six months to once a year. Although it's quite salty, it is made from yeast extract, vegetable juice, barley,rye, wheat and oats and has lots of vitamins in it, notably thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12, so it's quite good for you.
Have butter and marmite on toast for brekkie and the next day baked beans on toast for your tea. Both accompanied by a big mug of yorkshire tea😁. Remember milk goes into the tea last!!
Some ideas for Stus package. Taffy, Twinkles, Grape juice, root beer, French vanilla creamer fir coffee, I have had liquid and powdered, both great. Egg nog, biscuit (not cookies), chocolate fudge pop tarts, fruit loops.
HP sauce. Houses of Parliament. Try it on cheese on toast, in a stew, on your sausages. Yes Marmite is a concentrate, use sparingly. You said McVities correctly. As far as I know, no Fig Newtons in the UK. The Hobnob biscuits are 'oat' flavour; you can get them chocolate topped like the Digestives. Love beans on toast; had it yesterday. You'll have to let us know how the eating goes
Marmite Hot buttered toast, with about 1/32 of an ounce spread very thinly, drink with tea. To make a cup of British tea, put one of those bags in s large mug, pour boiling water on it, wait for one minute, stir, add a small amount of milk, squash bag against side and remove, add milk to taste and a little sugar if you like.
HP Sauce is an English staple, you cannot eat a Full English without it. Similar in many ways to your steak sauce A1. The HP stands for Houses of Parliament which is featuired on the label!!
Have now enjoyed watching a few of your videos. Thank you. Suggestion for eating the beans... I enjoy bangers and mash with beans, ie sauages and mashed potato, beans and a little HP sauce on the side. Sometimes I put Marmite very thinly on buttered toast, topped with Baked Beans and grated Cheddar cheese or have beans on a split baked potato. Digestives are similar to your Graham crackers. Happy New Year:-)
Hey Guys, no Heinz baked beans in US, poor dears! Also, HP sauce is great in great in meat dishes with veg, like a stew, thickens it slightly and gives an extra zing in flavour. Marmite and cucumber sandwiches are wonderful. After Eights used to be an after dinner mint but they are too yummy for just after dinner. Enjoy!
Try hot buttered toast thin layer of marmite the beans on top😀🇬🇧HP sauce on bacon sandwich s (thats controversial in UK!!!!)or sausage sarnies and on your full English.Warm the mince pies up serve with a dollop of double cream think you call it heavy cream in US.Dunk the hobnobs in your tea Enjoy!!!😁😁😁
Straight off the Bat - McVities, a Scottish food brand established in Edinburgh in the 1880s, consumed in "British" culture, on a Playlist called "Everything English"... And yes, on 7:56 you pronounced it correctly. I'm surprised you didn't get shortbread in there, or "British" Lipton tea, or even "British" Haggis...
You've got something there that resembles the average British shopping trolley ;-) Just one thing your kind benefactor forgot, Lea & Perrins Worstershire sauce (I'm imaging how you would say 'Worstershire' - we'd say Wus ster shear') - i found once you put worstershire sauce with your beans you can never go back to straight beans on toast again. Love your videos
The Mince Pies are a Seasonal Item For Christmas. Sweet Mince has A mixture of Dried Fruit, Sultanas, Raisins, Currants, & Mixed Dried Peel, Not at all DRY to Eat , Very moist & very Sweet. You Could sit & Eat the Whole box of 6 Pies at the same time Yum Yum, But Many will Find them too Sweet & sugary. About as Sweet as UK JAM/ US Jello. The Company Mr Kipling is a UK Major Brand for Fruit pies & Various Cakes & similar Items . Mince Pies are eaten Cold, Or warmed up in the oven & served with Cream or Custard, Any type of Cream as a Desert / After dinner Sweet Treat. ( For American & Other NON British watchers to Understand. ) Try a Mince Pie with a Tiny Drizzle of RUM or Brandy on top. Even For NON Drinkers a drip or two will not Do you any harm. ( half a teaspoon full or less A Few Drips, Not a Glass full !! you will Fall Down Drunk !! For Custard you Need A tin of Custard Warmed in a saucepan Very Gently. Or can be eaten Cold. Or A Tub of Custard Powder & Hot Milk Etc Follow the Label Instructions. ( A Blue & Yellow Tub, called, " BIRDS Custard powder. ". ) one spoon full in a Jug & add Hot milk. Return toa low heat & Stir Continuously for 30 secs / 1 min?? & it will Thicken to your desired Thickness, Constituency. Some Like it Runny. & Liquid, Others Like to Dollop it like Thick Cream. ( Try it Thick & Thin, You Decide how you like it.
I resort to brown sauce if I run out of Worster sauce. Trouble for me was, once I had flavoured my beans with the worster I could never go back to just having beans without it
The Brits are going to give me such trouble over what I'm about to say. To make a proper cup of tea you need a teapot making it in a mug is not the same. At least Stu sent you the best tea. One teapot, 2 teabags, boiling water. Warm the pot with a little boiling water and empty. Put 2 teabags in pot and 2/3 fill with boiling water, put lid on pot and leave for 2 mins. Cup or mug sugar (if required) and a little milk. Stir the tea in the pot and half fill mugs with tea, put a little more hot water in the pot and fill mugs to top. Sit back with Hobnobs, Crunch Creams and definitely digestives, and dunk biscuits in tea before eating them. Dunk quickly and don't burn your fingers on the tea!
No trouble at all, you almost nailed how to make a brew. BUT...we have one bag for each person, plus 'one for the pot'. There's no point in having piss weak tea.
@@alanjjeff Times have changed , my friend, yes leaves are better, more free flowing, and an extra spoon for the pot was mandatory. But as I've said, times have changed, just not the 'one for the pot' philosophy.
HP sauce was invented by Frederick Gibson Garton a grocer from Nottingham (my home city) in the late 1800s, he promoted it to his customers after hearing a rumour that it was served in a houses of parliament restaurant by claiming "it's the sauce they serve in the Houses of Parliament" hence the name, and as it's still being made today it must have worked! Nice video.
Mince pies orginaly contained real minced beef with fruit spices and brandy to preseve the meat. Over time the meat disapeared leaving only the fruit and spices
Marmite on hot buttered toast spread thinly is the best way. Putting it on thick you don't get the best taste. HP sauce is for putting on your English breakfast.
Love these videos, Dave you crack me up! HP Sauce is known as brown sauce and the 'HP' actually stands for 'Houses of Parliament' for which it was first made. Next time you are over you need to try the eastern side of the country , and even venture to the north of Scotland (Inverness area) I think you would notice how many differences there are in a country with such a small landmass.
@@thethirstythrifters4610 let me know when your going and I can give you some suggestions of historical places you may find interesting. I think we may get Dave converted to proper Scottish single Malt;-)
We (Brits) pronounce McVities as Muk vit eez Pastilles are pronounced Pas-tulls If you ever get Worcestershire sauce the shire bit is silent so don't say it and it's pronounced Wuster sauce
The Marmite would probably last me about 6 months and I really like it. Spread it sparingly on buttered toast. Like many foods (olives for instance) it is an acquired taste and you will need to break through that taste barrier by trialing it several times before you come to appreciate the super savoury explosion.

Most of us use marmite as an ingredient. A spoonful in a stew or casserole boosts the flavour.
I will definitely try that!
Not so sure about that

Tea leaves in warmed tea pot with boiling (not warm) water poured on the leaves. then leave for 3 - 4 minutes to brew (infuse). Then pour into a cup or a mug with milk and or not sugar according to your taste
A Tea bag in a mug is awful unless you have no option. Then its "any port in storm" meaning if you have to use bags if you have no choice. Like when you are travelling.
I had some American chocolate once; once was more than enough.
Nice one Stu, you nailed it. Love watching your videos guys, always welcome back here to England.
When I was a kid I tried Marmite without adult supervision and spread it to thickly , many many years later I tried it again but this time I got it right and now I love the stuff Cheers
You need to try baked beans on hot buttered toast. That is how we tend to eat them. HP stands for Houses of Parliament. We put brown sauce on things like bacon sandwiches or breakfasts or on our chips (fries).
I was wondering what HP stood for. I didn’t Google, just waited for firsthand viewer knowledge ❤️
@@thethirstythrifters4610 If you try the great British snack ‘Beans on (buttered) Toast’ as suggested, please don’t forget to season the beans with Salt and Pepper ( Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper Corns are my preference ) and most important, eat it off a plate using a knife and fork, as you would with any plated meal. If you eat beans on toast, as you might normally eat a slice of toast, in the hand. You will have beans dropping all over the place, as the bean sauce will make the toast very soft and ‘soggy’, it can be done, but, eaten off the plate with the knife and fork is the less messy option.
To hold the beans on the toast you need to grate plenty of cheese on the top and place under the grill for a few mins to melt and you have the 'cheese beano' ...a small dose of HP on the top goes well also.
taste test video required! HP sauce can be used on any savoury food. If you do beans on toast you can put some on that or If you ever find a Scotch Egg, yum! Shame you did not get any English Mustard.
You've had the unwrapping......now do a taste test video.......it has to be done, you know it make sense !!!! HP Sauce on the beans....good luck with the Marmite....you'll be braver than me - I hate the stuff !!!!
Put the Chocolate Raisins and the Fruit & Nut in the fridge, Oh yeah and the After Eights they are all lovely eaten cold. Enjoy!
After Eights are an after dinner mint that is best eaten with coffee after a meal. In the UK it is a big seller at Christmas time when people eat them after their Christmas Dinner.
There's the British joke, someone who eats an after eight mint before eight is a bit of a rebel
That small jar of marmite will only last me a week as EVERYDAY for breakfast i have 3 slices of buttered toast with marmite spread quite thick , i love the stuff , your friend Stu certainly sent you some nice treats i hope you enjoy them and do a video of yourselves trying some of them . 👍👍
When I get drunk my favourite snack is to stick my finger in the Marmite pot and just suck it off my finger. That's not weird, is it?
I'm like you, love marmite on toast for breakfast. I'm grateful it's one thing my dog doesn't like, I can enjoy it without her scrounging. I don't know if it's true or not but someone recently said to me the distinctive bottle is shaped like that so you can put on edge when it get empty and helps you get to use it all - it does work to a degree,
Dave did the spoonful of Marmite challenge in the UK!
Monster.
Take some lightly toasted slices of bread. Spread a light layer of marmite on them. Put some cheese on top, with some paprika and black pepper sprinkled on top of that, and put under a grill to toast the cheese. Delicious.
Only found your channel today ! Spent my afternoon watching ALL the vlogs of your time in the UK. Loved your accounts of your time here. With reference to your reaction to food in the UK , I'm sorely disappointed that you apparently didn't try the UK's number one favourite food ! It's not fish and chips or god forbid "baked Camembert" ! It's "CURRY". Think you have to come back and eat it if only to fully complete your gastronomic appreciation of food here. P.S I love Marmite , got a big jar making faces at me in my food cabinet, daring me to eat it. I take up the challenge and from time to time spread a thin film on some toast, BUT ! spread thick on a crumpet ? ! LMAO , that's a war your mouth is not gonna win .
Whole nut is the recipe, as opposed to Fruit & Nut. There are Hazelnuts and Almonds in there. The HP sauce is best used on your meat at breakfast; Bacon, Sausages and the like. Bacon sandwich is a classic dish for HP sauce.
Considering I have family in the US (My sister lives in Charlotte SC and my Bro & Mum live in NH (Dover) I know just how expensive it is just to ship that box let alone buy the contents as well. My Bro always asks me to send him .. like... 50 Advent Calenders over for him to dish out to his mates
So enjoy what Stu has sent you dude. Looks good stuff too
One of my new favourite pastimes is watching your videos.
Hobnobs are the king of all biscuits and brilliant if you dip them in your cup of Yorkshire Tea!.
First the guy had to pay for all the items then pay for postage and packing I know my sister sent a box of stuff to my brother who lives in America cost nearly £60 just for postage packaging to send it costs depends on the size and weight of the box
I love the Doctor Who quote Dave. Well done.
HP Sauce is like A1 Sauce in the US. It's an alternative to ketchup. Have it with your full English breakfast. It's the best of the brown sauces as it contains tamarind amongst other things.
I always say to my kids when there lavishing their bacon rolls with tomato sauce, "give me the sophisticated brown sauce"
HP sauce is a must on your full English breakfast, we also put it on chips ( French fries to you) bacon sandwiches and maybe a roast dinner etc. The celebrations are one bite mini versions of bigger bars . McVitie's ( your pronunciation is spot on ) is a big biscuit( cookie )company in UK.
Such fun, lovely people.
That is a great box of treats, very lucky.
Your vids are such fun guys. Thanks Stu, great idea. Dave, I use to hate Marmite as a kid but, you do acquire a taste for it over time. Now I love the stuff and spread it on toast as you would do with a Chocolate spread. .... but that's not normal, even in Britain ! 😂 Tip. After spreading it on toast, put under the grill again until the marmite goes 'crusty' ...you're in for a treat !
loved your face when he knifed the box
The British put the 'u' s in the words because of the French influence in the language. e.g. colour, flavourful, etc
The Americans took the "u" out to make spelling easier, did that to many words.
@@roberthatherell967 . Quote from George. W Bush. “ The trouble with the French, is that they don’t understand the word entrepreneurial”
It's a little ironic, that HEINZ BAKED BEANS, (HEINZ an American company) which in my view are the best, are made over here in England (near the city of Wigan, THE HEINZ FACTORY) as the beans used themselves, are haricot beans imported here from north america ( i watched a tv programme on the BBC about how they are made, it was called INSIDE THE FACTORY, the sauce is a secret recipe, (only know to a handful of people) the sauce & beans are sealed in the tin and then they are cooked in 3 giant steam ovens the lengths of a 3 football pitches, us BRITS just love our baked beans,, and there are approx 1.5 million tins sold in the UK every day.
Beans on toast with a poached egg and a little HP SAUCE- no cheese - and also with a full english breakfast-yummy 🇬🇧👍
At 07:50 - Crunch Creams used to be called Gypsy Creams... and we know Dave likes Gypsies!
They won't know what a sarnie is
Eat the beans warm with cheddar cheese either melted in or grated on top with buttered toast
H P source mmm really good on bacon sandwich......
Plus good for cleaning copper pans, wipe on pan, leave few minutes rub off using salt and warm water.
Results sparkling pans.
Marmite goes really nice with cream cheese. The saltiness and the creamy cheese works great together.
Hi Tara and Dave, HP sauce is the best. When my sons American girlfriend came over to England for a visit, I made her grilled cheese on toast with HP sauce. She went crazy for it. I have since sent her and my son a supply over. I really enjoy your videos, I also can't stand Marmite Dave.
Enjoy as Im sure you will. Remember a very small amount of Marmite spread thin on your toast.
The way to make mince pies more palatable is,put them in the microwave for approx 25 seconds,then serve with a dollop of vanilla icecream placed on top of the pie,also will Dave do a public marmite tasting in the near future??
According to some private chefs here in Hollywood, the British Heinz baked beans are better tasting than the American ones as they are more savory and less sweet and therefore more suitable for the full English breakfast.
Absolutely bang on point. Although beans are a recent addition to The Full English, back in the day (I'm old) it was either grilled fresh tomatoes or tinned plum tomatoes with the tomato juice. I like 'em all, beans are fine by me but I won't cry if you serve me a tomato or two.
@@lewilewis3944. I’m a sixty five year old Englishman and beans have always been on my breakfast plate. Branson beans are my personal favourite.
The jar of marmite might last a week or so but only if it got lost behind the other jars.
@@tedwarden5803 What can I say, Ted? We were dirt poor but my Grandad grew a ton of tomatoes on his allotment. Tinned tomatoes were definitely posh, a tin of Heinz baked beans was just showing off. I mis the 70's, things were a lot more simple and as a kid the electric power strikes were brilliant and the school strike lasted over 2 months, magic !
We weren't such sheep back then, and everyone in the street knew everyone else and chipped in. Can't say that now, can we?
@@lewilewis3944. I live in Yorkshire it’s still like that up er. Including t’ bloody power cuts.
@@tedwarden5803 We're fellow northerners, I was on Tyneside. But tell that to the kids of today...?
Be lucky, Ted, and happy new year, there's no way it can be as crap as the last one.
A teaspoonful of marmite added to a beef or lamb stew makes it very savoury. Also good to add to a bolognese sauce with tomato to go with pasta. It can also be added to vegetarian stews as a flavouring. If you run out of soysauce, it can be used to make a stirfry. To eat on bread or toast, you need about a thumbnail sized bit to spread thinly over butter or margarine. A similar amount can be used on the cheese in a cheese sandwich. I buy a 250g pot about once every six months to once a year. Although it's quite salty, it is made from yeast extract, vegetable juice, barley,rye, wheat and oats and has lots of vitamins in it, notably thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12, so it's quite good for you.
yeah their breakfast beans or beans on toast 🇬🇧👍
Well done Stu, what a gift ... Hp sauce on sausages or bacon sandwich x
Have butter and marmite on toast for brekkie and the next day baked beans on toast for your tea. Both accompanied by a big mug of yorkshire tea😁. Remember milk goes into the tea last!!
Nah, milk first, this debate could start the second English revolution, jam or clotted cream on the scone first will start the third.
That is a great Christmas present. Seems i should also get friendly with Stu.
Some ideas for Stus package.
Taffy, Twinkles, Grape juice, root beer, French vanilla creamer fir coffee, I have had liquid and powdered, both great. Egg nog, biscuit (not cookies), chocolate fudge pop tarts, fruit loops.
HP Sauce. The HP stands for Houses of Parliament sauce, hence the diagram of the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben on the label.
You need to heat up the mince pies and make some brandy butter to go with them. They're delicious, especially with a mug of mulled wine.
HP sauce. Houses of Parliament. Try it on cheese on toast, in a stew, on your sausages. Yes Marmite is a concentrate, use sparingly. You said McVities correctly. As far as I know, no Fig Newtons in the UK. The Hobnob biscuits are 'oat' flavour; you can get them chocolate topped like the Digestives. Love beans on toast; had it yesterday. You'll have to let us know how the eating goes
Marmite
Hot buttered toast, with about 1/32 of an ounce spread very thinly, drink with tea.
To make a cup of British tea, put one of those bags in s large mug, pour boiling water on it, wait for one minute, stir, add a small amount of milk, squash bag against side and remove, add milk to taste and a little sugar if you like.
2 mins
HP Sauce is an English staple, you cannot eat a Full English without it. Similar in many ways to your steak sauce A1. The HP stands for Houses of Parliament which is featuired on the label!!
Have now enjoyed watching a few of your videos. Thank you. Suggestion for eating the beans... I enjoy bangers and mash with beans, ie sauages and mashed potato, beans and a little HP sauce on the side. Sometimes I put Marmite very thinly on buttered toast, topped with Baked Beans and grated Cheddar cheese or have beans on a split baked potato. Digestives are similar to your Graham crackers. Happy New Year:-)
Fantastic selection, on my way.
Just brilliant. So many cool foods . Hp sauce or better known as brown sauce or Daddy's sauce. On a bacon sandwich. Where do we send stuff
Hey Guys, no Heinz baked beans in US, poor dears! Also, HP sauce is great in great in meat dishes with veg, like a stew, thickens it slightly and gives an extra zing in flavour. Marmite and cucumber sandwiches are wonderful. After Eights used to be an after dinner mint but they are too yummy for just after dinner. Enjoy!
Try hot buttered toast thin layer of marmite the beans on top😀🇬🇧HP sauce on bacon sandwich s (thats controversial in UK!!!!)or sausage sarnies and on your full English.Warm the mince pies up serve with a dollop of double cream think you call it heavy cream in US.Dunk the hobnobs in your tea Enjoy!!!😁😁😁
A large jar of Marmite will last me about a month. The peanut butter version of Marmite lasts a few days at most, it's delicious
Straight off the Bat -
McVities, a Scottish food brand established in Edinburgh in the 1880s, consumed in "British" culture, on a Playlist called "Everything English"...
And yes, on 7:56 you pronounced it correctly.
I'm surprised you didn't get shortbread in there, or "British" Lipton tea, or even "British" Haggis...
Stu did a good job, HP sauce on a bacon sandwich. 👍🇬🇧
HP sauce is for sausage sandwiches; bacon MUST have Ketchup ............Discuss!! lol
We will write down all ideas 👍🏻
@@tridaks Juist have both, problem solved.
I'm not sure if a sausage roll would reach you without being spoiled but if not! you should have a go on one
You've got something there that resembles the average British shopping trolley ;-) Just one thing your kind benefactor forgot, Lea & Perrins Worstershire sauce (I'm imaging how you would say 'Worstershire' - we'd say Wus ster shear') - i found once you put worstershire sauce with your beans you can never go back to straight beans on toast again. Love your videos
Worcestershire not Worstershire. However, agreed, good on beans.
The Mince Pies are a Seasonal Item For Christmas. Sweet Mince has A mixture of Dried Fruit, Sultanas, Raisins, Currants, & Mixed Dried Peel, Not at all DRY to Eat , Very moist & very Sweet. You Could sit & Eat the Whole box of 6 Pies at the same time Yum Yum, But Many will Find them too Sweet & sugary.
About as Sweet as UK JAM/ US Jello.
The Company Mr Kipling is a UK Major Brand for Fruit pies & Various Cakes & similar Items .
Mince Pies are eaten Cold, Or warmed up in the oven & served with Cream or Custard, Any type of Cream as a Desert / After dinner Sweet Treat. ( For American & Other NON British watchers to Understand. )
Try a Mince Pie with a Tiny Drizzle of RUM or Brandy on top.
Even For NON Drinkers a drip or two will not Do you any harm. ( half a teaspoon full or less A Few Drips, Not a Glass full !! you will Fall Down Drunk !!
For Custard you Need A tin of Custard Warmed in a saucepan Very Gently. Or can be eaten Cold.
Or A Tub of Custard Powder & Hot Milk Etc Follow the Label Instructions.
( A Blue & Yellow Tub, called, " BIRDS Custard powder. ". )
one spoon full in a Jug & add Hot milk. Return toa low heat & Stir Continuously for 30 secs / 1 min?? & it will Thicken to your desired Thickness, Constituency. Some Like it Runny. & Liquid, Others Like to Dollop it like Thick Cream. ( Try it Thick & Thin, You Decide how you like it.
HP "brown" sauce, got to be the best on bacon sandwich. Also put about a table spoon in the beans when you cook them for a change of taste.
I resort to brown sauce if I run out of Worster sauce. Trouble for me was, once I had flavoured my beans with the worster I could never go back to just having beans without it
The Brits are going to give me such trouble over what I'm about to say. To make a proper cup of tea you need a teapot making it in a mug is not the same. At least Stu sent you the best tea. One teapot, 2 teabags, boiling water. Warm the pot with a little boiling water and empty. Put 2 teabags in pot and 2/3 fill with boiling water, put lid on pot and leave for 2 mins. Cup or mug sugar (if required) and a little milk. Stir the tea in the pot and half fill mugs with tea, put a little more hot water in the pot and fill mugs to top. Sit back with Hobnobs, Crunch Creams and definitely digestives, and dunk biscuits in tea before eating them. Dunk quickly and don't burn your fingers on the tea!
No trouble at all, you almost nailed how to make a brew. BUT...we have one bag for each person, plus 'one for the pot'. There's no point in having piss weak tea.
Hi i leave for 5 minutes I'm from Yorkshire
@@lewilewis3944 Leaves not bags
@@alanjjeff Times have changed , my friend, yes leaves are better, more free flowing, and an extra spoon for the pot was mandatory. But as I've said, times have changed, just not the 'one for the pot' philosophy.
@@lewilewis3944 Not in my home PG leaf tea.
HP sauce was invented by Frederick Gibson Garton a grocer from Nottingham (my home city) in the late 1800s, he promoted it to his customers after hearing a rumour that it was served in a houses of parliament restaurant by claiming "it's the sauce they serve in the Houses of Parliament" hence the name, and as it's still being made today it must have worked! Nice video.
Eat your digestives with your tea, wonderful.
Mince pies orginaly contained real minced beef with fruit spices and brandy to preseve the meat. Over time the meat disapeared leaving only the fruit and spices
Marmite on hot buttered toast spread thinly is the best way. Putting it on thick you don't get the best taste. HP sauce is for putting on your English breakfast.
Try using the HP sauce in your cooking. Goes really well with mince beef if you're making a cottage/Sheppard's pie.
Love these videos, Dave you crack me up! HP Sauce is known as brown sauce and the 'HP' actually stands for 'Houses of Parliament' for which it was first made. Next time you are over you need to try the eastern side of the country , and even venture to the north of Scotland (Inverness area) I think you would notice how many differences there are in a country with such a small landmass.
Scotland is next, we think!
@@thethirstythrifters4610 let me know when your going and I can give you some suggestions of historical places you may find interesting. I think we may get Dave converted to proper Scottish single Malt;-)
We (Brits) pronounce McVities as Muk vit eez
Pastilles are pronounced Pas-tulls
If you ever get Worcestershire sauce the shire bit is silent so don't say it and it's pronounced Wuster sauce
We, Scots, call it exactly as it is, as she said it in 7:56...
The Marmite would probably last me about 6 months and I really like it. Spread it sparingly on buttered toast. Like many foods (olives for instance) it is an acquired taste and you will need to break through that taste barrier by trialing it several times before you come to appreciate the super savoury explosion.
Baked beans on toast, like Marmite, are British national treasures.
Beans on toast, Thankyou god. 🙏 Best on knockers (Crusts)
