siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
this is funny because here in Canada have them all but more
Please include Philippines in the country/region section
What! Bounty is amazing, I love it!
Dairy milk it's the first and great chocolate that comes to my MIND FIRST 🩷
Title should be changed to: British Food Finally Gets Validated for 15 Minutes Straight
It's the one thing I've seen everyone agree on that British chocolate is better than American.
@@itarry4idk about alla that, maybe if you’re only comparing like candy bars and even then I’d say it’s subjective since hersheys is one of the worst American chocolate bars lol
They're just available in uk, not all of them are uk made
We can do something right!! (In all seriousness, we do a lot right food-wise, just some things less so!!)
@@sevi9the 2 biggest brands, Cadbury’s & Galaxy are both made in the UK
When Americans say they grew up on Hersheys, it breaks my heart. I'm German and I was almost starstruck when I first held a Hershey's kiss in my hands. Imagine my disappointment when I then ate it and it tasted like dirt. :')
It's just terrible isn't it! Always wanted to try one and when I did ...😵💫
I had a friend bring back chocolate from Germany when I was in high school. She gave me a bar and my world exploded into an incredible flavor I had never tasted before. German chocolate is the absolute best. My daughter has always been a chocolate fan, but she’s mainly grown up on American chocolate. She loves kinder eggs, but t’s my dream to find her some authentic German chocolate and have her try it. If you have any recommendations of what name brand of chocolate to get and where to buy it that delivers to California, I would be ever so grateful! ☺️
i'm so sorry lmao the hershey's propaganda is insane, everything they make is complete garbage
Read the history of Hersheys and you won't ever eat it again. 🤪
We were poor so Hershey was all we could afford. Now that I'm an adult, I avoid Hershey and go for small batch local chocolate or imported.
Most of the best British chocolate companies have been bought by US companies who then changed the recipe to align with the US market making the original chocolate MUCH worse - this is an known gripe with British people
Or moved the factory to another country and the flavour changed - Milk Tray for example, is disgusting now.
@@1972sd And what happened to Kit Kats is just unforgiveable
@@1972sd milk tray is a disgrace now.
@@veedubbyadon't, I haven't recovered yet
Especially the cream eggs are just awful now
Chocolate orange is very addictive to us Brits 😄
Seeing how much the little girl loved our chocolate made me smile.
I’m just surprised Americans don’t have Terry’s chocolate orange. I live in Canada and put these in the fam’s stockings every year.
@@Tirannie We DO have them. I've lived in California and Texas and they're widely available in both states.
I noticed the boxes did have some superficial damage.
I don't like chocolate oranges
Children eating chocolate is very sweet.
I can't believe they got both Babish and the Burger Scholar in this video
They did lot of collab on jolly NYC videos. Also they did an episode with Babish.
Is that adam and alvin from buzzfeed as well? or am i tripping
@@mingrat8866 yeah maybe they will be appear on next collab episode 😂
@@elbertlim2872 here's to hoping the Motzmeister is getting a collab as well.
I'm glad they did NOT include that sandwich guy, Cug or whatever his name is...
“Dairy milk virgins” got me😂😂😂
NOT EVEN ONE MINUTE 😂
Cadbury is owned by Kraft, the same company that introduced the world to American cheese. That made me laugh.
@@Mr_Dopey Cadbury wasn't always owned by them! I doubt that the recipe has changed that much under them
Wait..they do WHAT!? 😂
Yet it was better before the Americans took over Cadbury's and cheapened the recipe it's now too sweet for me, wait until they try Lindt.
"He just one shotted a tea cake" is the most British saying 😂
Haha he said it so funnily too. 😂😂😂
Haha would yoy like a Cuppa tea with that? Mmmmm mmm 😂😂😂
Remember my Californian colleague bringing Hershey drops to the office.
Our boss, he too american, told her off for bringing the stuff.
Once she tried our chocolates she understood why.
We are in Lugano, Switzerland.
OMG. Talk about a faux-pas.
“One of these pieces and I’m satisfied. It’s not like an addictive chocolate”…not me watching being being able to polish off a whole Terry’s chocolate orange in one sitting because I had one slice 😅
I was thinking the same 😂
It;'s the same as eating a real orange though? One orange = one portion? ;)
I though wtf how can you not finish that off 😂?
Same😂 I can easily eat one in an evening!🤣🤣🤣
I came to say exactly this. WTF. It's one of the most addictive chocolates going.
“i thought we had to make a wish” WAS THE CUTEST SENTENCE I’VE EVER HEARD😭😭😭
Before I watched the video i thought the little girl said that 😂
@@I.b33same
@@I.b33 this is so real im crying
Wait for which one?
As a British person I appreciate them for liking our chocolate❤
How can they "Not Know!" (That Hersheys/All U S chocolate is vile?🤭💜)
They'll never
go back..🙏🏻💜🇬🇧💜
@@XXXX-uy7oh fr I’ve tried the cookies and cream Hershey chocolate and it is …. Let’s just say I’m never having it again
@@XXXX-uy7ohchocolate doesn't grow in the UK so it's not even really British food.
Y'all are a very insecure country.
@@XXXX-uy7ohnot every US chocolate is vile but hersheys is definitely the worst chocolate ever to exist. I’ll say that most Americans avoid it and will go for other chocolates 😭
“He one-shotted a tea cake!” I will never be able to eat a Tunnock’s teacake again without remembering that 🤣
27 years ago I introduced my American boyfriend (now husband of 25 years) to British and European chocolate. To say he was blown away is an understatement. His friend, who was on the trip with him, went back to the US and opened a British goods store in NY. I did my best to educate you Yanks!!!
Sounds like American chocolate is horrible ? Dairy milk and galaxy are excellent - mint Lindor are amazing
@@tucoramirez3333 It tastes oddly 'sour' due to butyric acid. It's part of the recipe and proportion of cacao solids and partly the preparation. In Europe we 'temper' the chocolate which changes the chemical constituency and reduces the butyric acid to almost nothing. If you have grown up with it, it's the taste you know but every one of my husband's family and friends, once they have tasted European chocolate, will never go back. Dark chocolate, over 50% cocoa , is almost unheard of in the US and the stuff they use for cooking is horrendous. Once they have some Lindt 70% they're converted!!
@@jayeclements6452 Lindt 90% and Green & Blacks 85% for me. Those two chocolates are fantastic.
@@LPeck1985 Agreed although treat yourself to a Divine 85% if you can find it - Waitrose stock it. It's got that deep cocoa flavour with an underhint of bitter that I really like. Perfect with a black coffee - dip the chocolate square for 1 second then enjoy! The Divine Mint and the one with hazelnut truffle filling are SO good....
@@jayeclements6452 Will make a note, thank you. 👍
3:01 "WHAT IS THAT"

I thought I was the only one that caught that “Wut is datt?” 😂
Same glad someone said it.
Glad that I wasn't the only one who noticed it!

As an American, I am always so surprised by the amount of people who haven't had a Terry's Chocolate Orange because I always had them growing up. They had them at the 99 Cent store and whenever we would visit my grandma she took us to get them because we liked them so much.
I am usually given one at Christmas - the only time tje dark chocolate one is available (I'm in Australia).
that merch announcement transition was UNHINGED…in like the best way 🤣🤣🤣

HIS NAME IS LEVY
As a Brit who is used to Americans bashing our food this makes me happy.
They chlorinate their chicken too. 🤢
Tunnock tea cakes are unreal. The flavour has just always been amazing.
Their caramel wafers are pretty damn good as well.
I spent a few years working at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and there was a Tunnock's teacake appreciation society with over 300 members.
I live not far from the original tunnocks factory in scotland. The owner is an old man who still visits the factory occasionally to check in on things and repair the old machines they use there. He drives a rolls royce and i hear he likes poker.
@@aremedyfrostyhe didn’t create them though. He might be the owner but the business was formed in 1890.
@@handsoffmycactus2958 He's the owners grandson and is 90 now. He created the teacake.
“Banging with babish” 😂😂 Ollie is still going
As a British person im actually cringing at how satisfied watching this video made me feel 🫣😅❤️
same lmaooo embarrassing how high my shoulders felt watching this
Hahah same!
i have to agree
Yet it was better before the Americans took over Cadbury's and cheapened the recipe it's now too sweet for me, wait until they try Lindt.
Chocolate from Britain, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany You in safe hands it's taste good .
You mean from Africa and South America, right?
I buy German chocolate from Aldi. It's the best! Not as sweet as Cadbury or Nestle.
@@SparkConversation No, he means chocolate from the countries he listed.
@@jamesj.mccombie5031 none of those countries can actually grow cocoa beans. They have to import from other countries.
@@SparkConversationwe know ......coco beans are coco beans..... chocolate is chocolate ......chocolate does not grow on chocolate trees in Africa or South America.....
Tunnocks Tea Cakes are a lovely family company in Scotland. I contacted them to see where I could get their T cakes in Dark chocolate. They sent me some info on where I could get them in England, a packet of Dark chocolate T cakes and a booklet about the history of their company ! Now I was very thankful and very impressed. What service !
That is good service, however milk chocolate is far superior. I think it’s a red flag you asked for dark chocolate. Yuk
And it’s Tea Cakes not T Cakes
That was nice of them....
When that guy tried to open the orange without whacking it! "Everyone behind the camera just gasped" lmao
It's actually fine to do that, you can just break off the segments one at a time
Like Bob Mortimer with the apple.
The little girl’s reaction to the tea cake was so cute!! Adorable ☺️❤️
She's adorable!
I live very close to the Tunnocks factory where these are made it’s been there a long time
My Dad worked in the Bournville Factory (Cadburys) in the 1950s. He had the supervisors job of stopping the production line if the moulded "Cadburys" wasn't perfect on every square.
Moving on.... my best friend bought a catering box of creme eggs (48 eggs) and ate them all. 😂🎉
Actually I've eaten 50 creme eggs. One after the other, wasn't sick. Today I've only got to look at one to get fat! Lol!
@@arianbyw3819 omg, you must have been yellow & white all through the middle 🤣
how i can barely eat one
@@topmandog1 my sister did that with "Angrls Delight" pudding, that most chemical concoction, and battenburg cake.
As a canadian, we have acsess to almost all of the candies (at least in my province lol), American and the British candy, so its really funny watching Americans/british that only have access to one or the other try the opposing candy lol
Came to say this. Just haven’t had the Double Decker but could probably find it if I tried.
..but no one has the Coffee Crisp!!! wooooo!
This is chocolate and chocolate bars, not “candy”.
@@paul-andreberube9618 you can keep it
@@handsoffmycactus2958was just going to post what you posted.....
Best summary: "Its so intressting the color of your choclates are the same, right?" "Yeah, cause its real"
Yup....no junk in their chocolates.
Her face giving that delivery - chef’s kiss 😂
Yet Europe would disagree as the cocoa amount is too low to qualify as being chocolate.
But milky chocolate is still an excellent class of its own.
@@Scoupe400used to get Swiss chocolate eggs as a kid at Easter......they were tasteless dry and chalky...... lots of pretty sugar flowers on them though....
I love how Ollie appears to have full artistic control of the merchandise department
I think he just does it all before Josh can object.
It was a hostile takeover.
I'm an American that went to Amazon and ordered the Tea Cakes right after this video ended! 😁
What did you think of them? I'm Scottish and Tunnocks are one of our National Treasures!
@@jonnydarkfang2816 The marshmallow was indeed "soft" and delicious!
You should've ordered the Tunnock's chocolate wafers while you were there.
My brother in laws fiance, whose family is from Scotland, tuned me into the Terrys Oranges a year or two ago and I have been obsessed, every flavor of that is amazing. Finally starting to see them in regular stores not just specialty international stores. I tell everyone about them.
American chocolate can't even be called chocolate in the UK - it's got too low cocoa content to be legally called chocolate.
You just haven't tried See's chocolates. See's is our best. Not sure why Hershey's is considered the American standard for chocolate...My work team is multi-national and they loved See's when they tried it.
American choc is vile
@@Denise-jh3nv Which American chocolates have you tasted?
I buy my son a Terry’s Chocolate Orange every year for Christmas. It has been a tradition in our family for decades. Love them in California.
We get them every year at Christmas too. And yes for decades. We love them in Michigan.
We love them in West Virginia as well ❤
We also have them at Christmas time in Arizona! Sooo good!
Add in Ohio! Average cost here is $5.
Same in Georgia.
Another technique for opening and separating a Chocolate Orange is the thumb and forefinger squeeze. But this requires superhuman strength and is a rare feat amongst British people, demanding respect when successfully accomplished.
My dad used to have a lot of work trips in Canada so my family would always go with him. Every time, I would come back with a huge bag of KitKats because they are made in the UK instead of America.
One of the few blessed things about growing up in Canada was having British chocolate more than American chocolate, it was always Cadbury over Hershey
I also grew up in Canada and I mostly had British chocolate, Swiss chocolate and Belgian chocolate. Had some American ones as well, but not as much as the ones I mentioned.
Was gonna say the same as a canadian we have most of these. Interesting about the differences just across the border
Was thinking the same. I have eaten almost all of these
@@truevoice1002 european cadbury actually contains more coco solids and is a little creamier imo than the british original, this due to eu regulations.
The Cadbury bars of my childhood were made under license by Hershey’s. They were somewhat better than regular Hershey’s, but not really that good. Maybe not now, but years ago Creme Eggs were imported from England where the chocolate was smoother.
There has always better quality American chocolate, like Guittard (mostly sold in bulk to candymakers like See’s), TCHO, and even Mars. I’ve had samples of Mars bulk chocolate at the Ethel M factory in the Vegas area, and that is extremely smooth and suitable for high end candies. Lindt has bought several American companies including Ghirardelli, and they manufacture in the US.
I spent a year in York, next to the old Terry's factory, and the days they made Chocolate Orange always sits with me. The air was filled with most amazing chocolate orange smell - it was simply divine.
York is lovely. It has a beautiful chocolate shop to visit now that tells the story of chocolate and you get to make some
I'm from York, and I can tell you that when Rountree's was fully on the go, the smell of chocolate in the air was sublime. Back in the 80's and early 90's, you'd get the smell of chocolate from Rountree's, the smell from the sugar factory, and the smell from Terry's and Cravens. It was so intense that even Willy Wonker would've blown his load 🤣
My grandfather was a charge hand for KitKat at Rountree's, he was there all his working life. When he retired, he was given a very expensive hand crafted clock made from walnut with a brass plate that had his name and service dates engraved onto it. We still have the clock, and it's perfectly restored, working, and in mint condition. It's a piece of Yorks chocolate production history.
@@christophermunton9623: I've always thought that was a strange British Custom.
When you retire and don't have to get up early anymore, they give you a watch, or a clock.
@StevenKeery - Bizarrely enough, I've never even considered that before. It's almost paradoxical, crazy even. It's not something that employers do in the U.K anymore in fact, you're lucky if you get a card and a gift voucher.
I'm glad my grandfather got his clock, though. It's a work of art, and like I said before, it's a piece of Yorks chocolate production history.
It’s like you’ve written a sweetly seductive passage from a erotic chocolate novel 😋
Also sounds like the best road ever!
I live 15 mins from the tunnocks factory 👍 They're wafers are superb with tea and they're snowballs are just superb
I love both those.
Snowballs! After living in Europe for 19 years, and not buying chocolate because it is crap, I had forgotten snowballs. I recently got some Arab fakes of Bounty, snickers and Mars. Gross! I got some Arabic ´chocolate´ at the same time. I have had one square! I haven´t had the nerve to try another! They are all Halal, if that is important to you. To me if chocolate snaps when you bite into it, it ain´t chocolate! I do not Crunch chocolate! I have not found a foreign chocolate yet that doesn´t crunch. And what is it with praline? Why is the only filling praline? The devil´s diarrohea!´. Milka is like Galaxy on a sugar rush. And Galaxy is too sweet to start with. Cadburys is screwed since the Yanks got it, so I am glad to say I am not a great chocolate eater, or I would have been in trouble. Walkers, who surprisingly used to show up here pre Brexit, is worth it. Tiny Brummie family company who are still going, or were. They do lovely after dinner mints and the Turkish delight is nice, if a little runny. Unlike the Frys pencil rubber, Walkers actually tastes vaguely how it should. Heavy on Rose. Also one I remember as a kid, Beeches. No idea where it comes from, but it came in a huge block and the sweet shop person would hit it with a hammer. Like toffee. Put a chunk of that in your gob and you look like a hamster. Hard as rock, but it dissolves Slowly. As far as I know you can still get it, but it has always been a rare commodity. Lidls actually have the best Non English chocolate! Thin, but melty and tastes like Chocolate should. I would recommend the fruit and nut! Aldis? Naah! Taste like cocoa powder. and crunches.
I've been to the US twice and stayed for a few months each time. Good chocolate was one of the things I missed most. Met some great friends while I was there. Nothing like your stereotypical, High fiving, USA chanting, Maga cap wearing Americans you see in the media. Im still in touch with them to this day.
The one thing i remember was the sea food. Especially in fishermans Wharf in San Francisco. The best Clam Chowder I've ever had and was served in a bowl made from bread.
I went in 1997 and 2000 for six months. I'm planning on taking my girlfriend next year, cause she's never been. We're hoping to spend 3/4 days in each place.
I've never been to New York, so we're going there and Philly, New Orleans, Somewhere in Texas like Austin. And I'd love to go back to San Francisco and San Diego.
I'm looking forward to going back again, but I'm going to take my own chocolate 😁.
Most Americans recognize Hershey's is trash. If you want good American chocolate you have to go into a specialty chocolate shop. Just like in the UK Cadbury is the lowest quality chocolate.
@@ambersmith459 UK sold Cadbury has by law at least 25% cocoa solids and is available everywhere. Hershey's has 10% so they're not really comparable.
@@tonydaddario4706 I've tasted both of them while Cadbury is 15% better or whatever it's still the lower end of the quality of chocolate in the UK and Hershey's is the lower quality of chocolate in US
@@tonydaddario4706 Cadbury don't give a % of cocoa solids for 'Dairy Milk' on their web site. However, both Sainsbury's and Tesco do; it's 23% and they both note the minimum is 20%, not 25%. Hearshey's is noticeably inferior to UK made Cadbury's Dairy Milk. However I agree with @ambersmith459, Cadbury's is at the lower end of UK chocolate. Decades ago, Ghirardelli was a reasonable US chocolate.
Cadbury's chocolate has gone down hill. I'm old enough to remember 'Dairy Milk' in the late 60s. I don't believe my taste buds are so degraded to mistake the modern, inferior, Dairy Milk for 1960s Dairy Milk. I think Dairy Milk might have noticeably degraded twice, but I was eating better chocolate from the early 90s onwards, so I might be mistaken and it was just much worse than good chocolate. Suffice it to say as Hershey's is inferior to UK Dairy Milk, so is modern UK Dairy Milk inferior to 1960s Dairy Milk.
To appreciate how bad it is, Cadbury's Bournville 'Dark Chocolate' has less cocoa solids than Green & Black's Milk chocolate; IIRC less than Green & Black's White chocolate.
I usually eat 70%+ chocolate, it counts as a 'plant point' 😋 and not too sugary. Cadbury's have nothing.
Best Wishes. ☮

😂 Their egos wouldn't let them tell the truth. Whole way through saying they liked most things then at the end said its all trash.. gtfo!
They said STOP the cap
Yeah those two were strange because they were mostly complimentary about the chocolate they ate throughout the video then tried to say it was trash at the end? 😂
Those two were cringe. Way too much ego for rubbish hersheys puke chocolate
Yanks can't cope with not being the best
I’m American but until i was 8 my dad directed an international Bible school in America, so while I’ve only traveled a little bit, I’ve had friends from other places so I’ve had the pleasure of trying goo chocolates from Norway, Switzerland, and England. Hersheys can’t compare. But also it’s our home chocolate and you’ve gotta be proud of your home chocolate even if it’s bad 😂
When I was about 8, we had an American exchange teacher for a couple of terms. On his last day with us, he excitedly brought in some ice tea and some Hershey's chocolate. "Kids in the US LOVE this stuff, you kids are gonna LOVE IT too!!".
I can't tell you how crestfallen he was when we tried it.
this is so emotionally healing after seeing reactions to every other genre of british food lmao
I don’t know why people don’t like British food. I’ve been to England and loved all of it. It’s like every one of your foods is a comfort food. 😍

"I will be truthful and be good." Is the girl scout pledge.
I'm in the US (Seattle area) and when I was younger in the 90s and early 2000s we had Terry's chocolate oranges here. I remember getting them for Christmas several years in a row. They were so good. I haven't seen them sold here for years now, though.
Feeling the love for the 'Double Decker' all time favourite bar.
After I tasted Cadbury's years ago I never ate Hershey's again...Put a square of Cadbury's milk chocolate or dark chocolate in your mouth and let it melt...do not chew, but savor the flavor...heaven!
Have u tried galaxy ? Another very good British chocolate bar and if u can get your hands on mint lindor u will be in heaven
@@tucoramirez3333Galaxy does mint chocolate too, it's so good!
@@tucoramirez3333 Technically they do have Galaxy in America but it's called Dove over there but probably tastes just as bad as Hershey's 😂 In the UK, Galaxy is top tier though, better than Dairy Milk I reckon
Cadbury's is decent but Milka, Ritter Sport and Lindt are streets ahead. I'm British but have to concede that some other European countries (especially Belgium and Switzerland) have the best chocolate going. I have tried some American Chocolate and wasn't impressed overall but am prepared to be convinced otherwise!
@@Wimpleman Spot on. Mondelez own both Cadbury's and Milka, so they come from the same parents. But Milka is phenomenal!
I’m from Singapore and I grew up eating Cadbury chocolates. When my husband first brought home a bag of Hersheys 30 years ago, I almost gagged eating it because it tasted of baby’s milk vomit. I searched online wondering if I should chuck the whole bag if it’s gone rancid and found that this was how it is supposed to taste. The taste is particularly strong and obvious to people who are not used to the taste because they did not grow up eating Hersheys.
Thank you for that, hersheys has always been like vomit but now "Baby milk vomit" is going to be my go to statement for describing hersheys!
Yes this is exactly how I describe the taste of American chocolate!
One information for you guys...Hershey uses Butyric Acid in the milk to make it last longer...the vomit taste comes from that...
@@hugosequeira2997 yeah, knew that, crazy they use something that tastes like vomit! Still tastes the same on the way down and way up
I too smelt some Hersheys that our kids had bought in a sweet shop here In ireland, i first checked the sell buy date thinking it had gone off, it literally smelt like vomit, i couldnt bring myself to try it. Cant beat some lovely cadburys straight from the fridge lovely and cold, or a Terrys Chocolate Orange yummy!!
Package Designer: what font do you want to use?
Tea Cake: yes
I’m in London a few months out of every year and that Chocolate Orange is a must have at least once every visit

Tunnock's Tea Cakes make me ridiculously happy because they don't use gelatine so I can actually enjoy some marshmallowy goodness!
I'll have to try some
They are unmatched. M&S tried to make an equivalent. They DO use gelatine. It's inferior. Tunnocks or gtfo!
I live very close to the factory here in uddingston - they also make caramel wafers which are really good too
@@tucoramirez3333 Yes! Tunnocks Wafers are also delicious! Again, something sets them apart from other similar products
@@al201103 Its not quite the same thing as a tea cake, but if you get the chance you should definitely try Dickmanns Schaumküsse! Its a similar German thing that is generally a bit taller, with marshmallow thats even fluffier imo.

oh wow, nice fact! Love Tunnocks and I love that the packaging is still the same. So retro it's a classic!

Double Decker does not get anywhere near enough love in the UK that it deserves
I'm always surprised how few people like Bounty's. I F**king love them. Dark Choc one in particular
You had me at Bounty. Lost me at dark chocolate.
When I was a kid, they had a little cardboard chute, maybe to stop them getting damaged. No more chute, they're obviously tough little fellas

Yes we get Terry’s Oranges at Christmas. It’s been a staple every year since I was little.
I am Canadian, now US citizen. Grew up with Cadbury, my favorite chocolate ever.
I’m Canadian as well. You really can’t beat Cadbury!
Canadian as well, Only ones of those I haven't had were the tea cakes & the double decker.
Hello fellow Canadians :) I'm in Niagara and I've tried every single one of these. Blows my mind they're British.
Galaxy is also excellent
WHY ARE THEY CHEWING AN AERO BAR?!? 😮 Let that chocolate melt. Feel the bubbles!!
It’s a reflection on their own terrible American chocolate. They don’t even know how to eat chocolate properly.
americans are scared of different textures, im not joking they have like culturally induced eating disorders. I had an american friend who vomited because her bacon was too chewy (i ate the rest off her plate, it was normal back bacon cooked well). Another american friend said that if something is chewy or 'weird texture' to him they think its cheap or low class.
I’m confused do you not chew your food
Do you taste the bubbles?
it's almost as if they've never had one before & didn't know! strange!
I absolutely loved watching this. As a brit I am often in awe of the food you have over there but I'm so glad that you enjoy our chocolate. I've took it for granted all my life but I think I will enjoy it even more now....although I do find creme eggs just toooo sweet.
BROOOO I WAS NOTTTT EXPECTING A GOTHAMCHESS FEATURE 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Alternate title: Babish scathing American confectionery and falling in love with cadburys
Woaaah so many cool and unexpected collabs here that I both recognize and didn't expect! This was so fun to watch!
I worked in Toronto, Canada in 1979 for 9 months. In those days, there was no English chocolate to be had and the Canadian chocolate was not the same.
When asked by my parents " What would you like to eat when you get home? My answer was " Meet me at Heatrow airport and bring a bag of Double Deckers with you please".
How is it that people in New York haven’t tasted British chocolates, yet I’m from Idaho and have tried most of these? Not to mention that I buy chocolates oranges by the stack at Christmas and even wrote a brief tribute called How to Eat a Chocolate Orange in my early 20s.
My late wife and I worked at a Connecticut boarding/day school for most of our careers (where we also raised our daughter Meghan), so we were blessed to have access to exchange students from England and Australia who would share gifts of their chocolate treats from home on a regular basis. The chocolates were always amazing, especially compared to the offerings of most commercial US chocolate brands! Meghan in particular fell in love with the Chocolate Oranges and could always expect to find one in her Christmas stocking every year. Seeing those among the sweets being offered to my fellow Americans made me nostalgic for Christmases Past ....
Sending you a virtual hug, just because.
omg the statue of liberty with Ollies face made me spit out my coffee im DYING
British chocolate hits the sweet spot of price, taste, variety and originality.
In what world is a single creme egg "too much"? They're sold in boxes of three which is the perfect amount to consume walking across the car park from the store to the car. Also, I want to see a whole series from Babish and George Motz reviewing British foods.
George Motz, Babish and Gotham Chess in one video is just insane.
Was thinking exactly the same! Fingers crossed for Ollie and George Motz making burgers together.
I tried a Hershey bar when I was in an International School full of Americans all looking at me waiting for my response. I wanted to tell them it was something I would buy in Woolworths if I was desperate. Cheap and nasty. I didn't of course, I was brought up to be polite - being British. Bless them they were so proud of their chocolate.
No, our chocolate is See's. Established in 1921 in LA. Hershey's is indeed for those that want to be cheap...like a McDonald's burger for instance isn't meant to be the best American hamburger; it's meant just to be a quick, cheap option.
The chocolate orange and the Cadbury eggs are something we look for on our shelves during the holidays. The others I've never seen but they all looked delicious. English chocolate is a real treat, wish they were avaliable more often here.
As a British person, having British food actually get compliments for the first time in forever had my shoulders through the fricken roof lmaooooo I felt so proud for the first time in my life
I am absolutely not a chocolate person, but whenever I get my hands on Cadbury chocolate made in the UK, it’s such a treat for me. My favourite is the fruit and nut bar, Hershey can take the backseat
Is Hershey really that bad ? I am Scottish so I have no idea about Hershey although I am sure I have seen it here - if u have not tried galaxy chocolate then u need to its excellent
@@tucoramirez3333 Yes.
@@totallybored5526 😂😂
Fruit and nut is amazing!
This is the one area of American cuisine where I'm straight up like, other countries have us beat. My dad used to work with a lot of foreigners and they would always travel and bring him back chocolates, and man, we are missing out here. Thankfully a lot of these British chocolates are sold in markets here, so I've had a lot of them. My recommendation is "Flake." It is soooo weird. The bar is intentionally so crumbly and flaky but it literally just melts in your mouth.
As a brit I definitely recommend Flake. The most poplular thing we get from ice cream vans is a "99" which is just soft-serve with a flake stuck in it.
Also, personally the crumbliness can get a bit messy and annoying so I also recommend looking out for Twirl, which is basically a flake with a solid outer shell, plus that gives it a little more bite 😋
the flake is something europeans grew up eating with ice-creams not alot of people just eat the bar straight. i recommend breaking some onto vanilla icecream
flake isnt a chocolate bar really, you always get a flake in your 99 (ice cream in a cone, cost 99p thats why its called that) If you want a better version of a flake get a Galaxy Ripple.
Not necessarily. There’s some extremely good American manufactured chocolate such as TCHO and Guittard. Hershey’s did buy out several high end candy companies but then either shut them down or changed them, like Scharffen Berger and Dagoba. However, it’s not typically found at the checkout stand.
I find Flake a little too fragile. I'd choose a Twirl over it, for less mess, though it doesn't taste quite as good as a Flake.
I love how Ollie just puts things on the store completely unannounced until they're filming a video!
Ah yes, let's hear it for those once-British Terry's chocolate oranges, made in Poland since 2005 and now made in Strasbourg, the brand having been sold by Chicago-based Mondalez to the French private equity firm Eurazio.
Babish? George Motz? This is not the crossover I was expecting at all!
Fun to see them all in a video together, but it's not really a crossover. It's just a compilation of shots that they took at the same time as other videos.
And Babish and George Motz have some videos together too! 😊
GoghamChess deserves a shout ngl
I like how you guys brought back the guy from the pop up bagel shop! I think everybody loved his personality from the first video
Bonus points, they bet on it while filming yonks ago.
That kid was having the time of her life.
They also do a caramel version of the creme egg which replaces the fondant icing with caramel. It's so much sugar but sooooooooooooooo gooooooooooood (thankfully they only do them at easter time!!!) 😅
Sadly they didn't get to try Cadburys as it was 15 + years ago before the takeover when for a mid market quality bar it was amazing with a unique and quite high percentage cocoa content and flavour and more creamy than now. The current products have much more sugar than they used to as it is used as a cheap filler
Yeah, it was amazing but then it got bought out by mondolez. I was super upset, as there was a campaign to keep it British. I’m from Birmingham where it’s originally made, and Cadburys is such an institution here, like at some point each child is taken to Cadbury world as part of a school trip etc.
I don't live far from Bourneville. I think they shouldn't be allowed to call it Cadbury. It's not the recipe and it tastes awful now. I ate a caramel bar after the swap and I spat it out it was so vile. I'm really really shocked there wasn't more of a fuss after people had tasted what they've turned it into. Flat sugar taste.
You can say that for most British confectionary now. All have been taken over by big outside foreign corporate conglomerates and the ingredients changed and corrupted. Nothing is like it used to be.
Exactly my thoughts, it's such a shame how much our chocolate in general has gone downhill
Yes!! So true, it used to be gorgeous before it was bought out - these days I definitely find it a bit waxy.
I genuinely am shocked by any American whose never seen a chocolate orange. Like we've had them here for like 30+ years, and I used to get one in my stocking every christmas for a long time.
During WWII in Britain, oranges were hard to come by, so at Christmas it was a real treat to get an orange in your stocking. My grandparents and parents have continued the tradition ever since. Terry's Orange was a great update to the tradition.
I live in Florida and I think the reason they aren’t as popular here even though you can buy them in stores, is that oranges are everywhere, and chocolate melts easily, so if I want to treat myself to some chocolate, I probably don’t want it to be orange flavored, and I wouldn’t want it to be packaged like that even though it looks cool because it would be a hassle to deal with in the Florida heat. That’s not to say I haven’t had them before. I grew up in Alaska and got them for Christmas. But now that I’m in Florida I’d rather just have an orange that I can get for free off a tree :)
@@b_korthuisMy grandpa usually got an orange for Christmas during the Great Depression as a once a year treat. That would be the only present they could afford for all the kids (13 total), so oranges are traditional here at Christmas too. We always had them included at Christmas when I was a kid.
I grew up eating Terry's Chocolate Orange and could eat a whole one in one sitting around the holidays. They usually it at lots of stores in the US, and my favorite is the single mix pack.
"Definitely worth like $25"
Terry's CEO: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWNNN!!
I just realized how my life felt so incomplete without videos from Jolly and BEman. 😭😭 Missed you guys so much. Please keep the videos coming.
Always nice to see Steve pop up. I tend to forget he works with Babish, because he was always just, "The guy who went viral for trying to start watching Game of Thrones toward the end of the series with no idea what was going on."
I scoop my cream eggs too. They only come out once a year at Easter so I do go crazy for them.
I teach English in Korea and a lot of my coworkers are from London and Ireland. When they pass that cadbury bar around that they got from a lil care package from mom and pop, oh my goodness, I go feral! The Freddies?! Shut up! But, I will say, I cannot do orange chocolate. I try! But terrys I cannot do! BUT! There’s this chocolate from 제주도 that has Jeju orange in it and it is so good!
They also sell Cadbury chocolate bars in Olive Young but they are the bubble one and my coworkers always get mad whenever I bring it in 😂
That dude is a genius. I've been telling people the secret ingredient in a double decker is mild coffee for a lifetime!
Ah thats interesting to know, thanks! Ive always thought it tasted like coffee, love me a double decker!
The first time I ate a double decker I asked if it was ‘cappuccino’ because it DEF does have coffee notes! So happy to see others agree.
I'd never thought about it before but it definitely has a mild coffee flavour!
Terry's Chocolate Orange is a top tier treat.
I prefer the dark chocolate version.
I can’t believe you didn’t include the Toffee Crisp Chocolate Bar. Definitely top tier!
