As a Brit, it's safe to say we have fully converted Queen Boomer into one of us. She had a digestive in her hand and out of pure instinct, dipped it in tea. ONE OF US!!
Absolutely!! In fact, I think they've both become a pair of proper dunkers now!
Agree
Her British style dipping etiquette 10/10!
One of us! One of us!
anyone who aint is getting a proper evil dead style join us from me
Not quite one of us, not till the word biscuit (for a digestive etc) is second nature.
My soul dies a little more every time she calls the Digestive a cookie.
Yeah but Biscuit to them is a Scone to us
Dude mcvitites employees died lol. I'm up the way from the factory! I could walk it
@@JasonBorn89Touché. Gravey though not for me Jam and Butter all day baby
That was hilarious. "Why is the ginger spicy?"
Me: Because ginger is a spice. 🤣
Someone please send them a Boost and a Double decker!
I told them they look great but how do I get a bus over to them? Think things through!
And a starbar
Double decker is my go too!
If I can't find that then a lion or KitKat chunky
Boost and star bar for me, maybe even a topic
Ohhhhh Double Decker ❤
LOVING the change of format - this is great! BTW - I'm from England and literally no idea what a coffee crisp is. Oh, and congrats on the pregnancy 🎉
I'm from England and live in Canada (the home of the Coffee crisp) They're fantastic. So light, I go through bars of them 😂
@@ianpilkington2037must be a Canadian treat maybe
@@minoumcduff5727 yep, they are
Nope, I live in England I know what they are lol
Honestly never seen them - certainly not in out our local tesco extra.. lol@@rustyshotzz49
Queen Boomer is so smart!!! Marmite is often added to gravy or used as an ingredient in savoury dishes!!
As is Bovril.
And she specifically right about stir fries, many people add it to theirs.
My husband adds it to chillis.
Another trick is when you've got an empty Marmite jar that you can't scrape any more out of, rinse it out with hot water and pour the contents into a stew or chilli and it's like a stock
@@Polyglot85to90 or drink it as marmite tea - already done that this week - perfect cold autumn drink
The secret with marmite is to spread it on your toast very sparingly 😁 and you can't go wrong with a chocolate digestive whether it's the milk chocolate variety or the dark chocolate you will soon be honorary British 👍😃
I must admit, I like it spread thickly. Have always loved marmite 😊
And butter too
A more reliable way to spread marmite more consistently is to pre-mix marmite with butter before you spread it on your toast. I love the stuff, so I typically use a 1:1 marmite to butter ratio, but that's because my marmite tolerance is pretty high. But doing some trial and error to find the ratio that works for you is easy enough - just add more butter if you made it too strong, or more marmite if it's not strong enough.
I use marmite a lot in cooking, it really enhanses meat dishes. Maybe on toast you should try a very thin layer.
Works great to add umami to veggie dishes (great alternative to Worcestershire sauce). Also try Veggiemite (I’d say it is better) and Henderson’s.
Please send them Cadburys dairy milk, galaxy, whisper, crunchie, bounty, Cadburys Flake, Turkish delight, Fry’s Mint cream, monster munch pickle onion, Quavers, wine gums, hobnobs! 😊
Hobnobs best dunkin biccies
Now your talking
Throw in some Raspberry Ruffles!
Toffee crisp
Love a Turkish
Those border ones looked like the chocolate was showing it’s age, slightly bloomed. Ginger is meant to be spicy.
The bloom typically is from the fats or sugars being affected by the heat. It’s not detrimental to the flavour & doesn’t mean it’s particularly old, just looks a bit naff.
I was a tad confused at Queen Boomer's surprised reaction to the 'spicy' ginger cookie/biscuit too 🤔
Ginger is a spice! 😂
Yeah, they were definitely old, old stock, the border ones.
Crushed Digestives and melted butter are what we use as the base for cheesecakes where I believe you use Graham Crackers. You also discovered the joy of dunking it in tea! It’s what most of our dry biscuits are designed for, including the 2/10 Crawfords. The A#1, top of the tree, gold medal standard for dunking is a HobNob. 😊
Queen Boomer was definitely the better assistant... she even had to take her own snacks out of the packet 😮😂
My favourite Queen Boomer quote from this video: "sorry if I assaulted one of your snacks"😂😂 great video, as always 😊
She only insulted a Scottish snack so its all good.
Seeing the tea dunking in both videos and QB referencing flake made me very proud! Never really had a coffee crisp or that ginger thing before... would love you guys to try more, really enjoyed these videos
:D
Tunnocks wafers are also good being dunked in your cup of tea but you have to be very quick doing it,and if you eat any liquorice all sorts make sure they are made by Bassetts as they invented them and are far superior to any others
The best Bassetts allsorts go to M&S, and are branded as theirs. The second-best ones are branded as Bassetts.
I think the sweet moist richness of the Lion Bar is a poor choice immediately before the Tunnock's. It'll clearly make the latter seem dry and dull in comparison.
King B is right about how to pronounce Tunnock's. They're a Scottish company best known for their "tea cakes" - biscuit topped with soft foamy marshmallow and chocolate. You should try some of the flavous of crisps (i.e., "potato chips") that you don't normally get in the US - cheese and onion, smoky bacon, etc.
Telling a pregnant woman she can only have one bite of delicious snacks is a brave move.
Pregnant women have cravings for things like pineapple on coal
Makes me glad I eat anything and everything. I was literally drooling as I watched this.
Marmite has to be spread much thinner than this for a beginner. With time you'll be licking the knife.
Marmite makes a good base for pasta sauces, I use it to make mushroom tagliatelle (fry off mushrooms and onion. Once cooked, add tablespoon of marmite, teaspoon of honey, a little water from cooking the pasta. Bring to boil and add cooked tagliatelle and keep boiling til the liquid has almost gone ). Nice quick recipe and tastes amazing
trying that
my in-law cooks roast potatoes with marmite sauteed into them, they are really good. I'm basic though I like Marmite on toast with cheese grilled over the top.
If you ever decide you’re up for it, I would very happily send a UK goodies hamper your way!
Marmite in beef/lamb stews is great for umami flavour.
Marmite is really good mixed in with your oil when roasting potatoes
OK wow that sounds amazing 😮
Yep its so good
Boil some pasta, stir in a generous mix of butter and 1 to 2 teaspoons of Marmite. Heaven!
I love marmite myself , that was way too much marmite for me. Sounds mad but i put a knob of butter on a plate and add a bit of marmite then mix and then spread on toast. You get an even flavour.
😮marmite lover here too and never tried this but I shall for brekky, cheers 👍😊
Im from UK and never heard of Border biscuits. Digestives are very popular in UK great dunked in tea. If you can get "Boost" bars they are top tier chocolate bar.
Border biscuits are in my local tesco
@@vladd6787 Sainsbury's also sell them. Only 9 or 12, (I can't remember, too expensive), in a pack though.
Due to the nature of my work at the time I was around a lot of different places, I first saw them in hotels and business places from 2001 onwards, I'd grab them if they were free but they always seemed overpriced. Then started seeing them in shops around 2010.
But I'm in the South of England and Border are a Scottish company. Maybe they were sold/marketed as a niche high-end product to hotels/entertainment/business type places to establish an idea of being a quality brand prior to going on national sale?
@@dontaskme7004I’ve seen them in hotels. Normally they’re shortbread in a little packet of 2. Never seen chocolate ones before.
I have seen them in Sainsbury’s, I’m in Cheshire so North West Midlands. And yeah normally overpriced so don’t buy them often if at all.
Well known in Scotland.
Totally agree on the Tunnocks wafers - burnt caramel. We used to call Garibaldis 'dead fly biscuits' when I was a kid. I'm currently only 4:38 in, and hoping you don't over-do the Marmite...
Yep dead fly biscuits is what we called them too ! Flavourless and nasty
QB actually seemed to like the Marmite, despite you putting on far too much for a beginner! Did she eat the rest of it?
As someone with Misophonia I have to say I appreciate it immensely yous put music over the eating 🙏
You should both react to the old Marmite adverts - they are hilarious!
I've grown to love this couple. They are more than reactors. Love em
Marmite goes great in stews, tomato pasta sauce, brown gravy etc. it’s great for adding an extra depth to flavour where it’s missing, just add it a tiny bit at a time
A teaspoon of marmite stirred into pasta sauce is incredible.
My erstwhile Norwegian/Spanish neighbours used to do this for their daughter.
"What do you want for supper, Sylvia?"
"Pasta brown!!!"
Just decent spag, butter and marmite - superb!
Thanks. I'm going to try that.😊
I agree on your description of Marmite. If someone had never tried it, I’d ask if they liked soy sauce, and if they did, they probably wouldn’t hate it. Not the same flavour but very salty umami . Some say it has a meaty flavour in there, but it’s 100% plant based. I can see why many don’t like it but you gave it an honest assessment without any overreaction . I like it lightly spread on cheddar cheese !
They always eat it wrong. They don't butter the toast properly and then they smear loads of marmite on.
@@frankdux5693 Agreed ! I was thinking , “That’s too much, especially if you’ve not tried it before.” A little goes a long way...
Not literally plant based - it's a yeast extract, and yeasts are neither plant nor animal, but in some ways chemically they're more like animals than plants. Still suitable for vegans though.
@@barneylaurance1865 Well true , it’s an extract from brewer’s yeast and is more related fungi, which aren’t plants. I forage for wild fungi and other wild edibles plus I’m a member of a group that’s part of the British Mycological Society. I used the term “Plant Based” in a general sense, because as you know, vegan does represent a way of living, not harming animals, not just what you eat. Although not vegan myself, it can have a stigma and many non meat eaters use the term, vegan or not. I should have just said it’s “free of animal products”. Just a random comment to a reaction video rather than one where I paid huge attention to the wording….
@@markh8116 Right, apologies for the way I expressed that. I didn't really mean to criticise your comment, just to add the fact that yeasts are in some ways more like animals than plants which I think is sort of interesting as part of the explanation for why they taste like they do.
I can honestly say I have never even seen a coffee crisp so was questioning which part of the uk that’s from, also the Crawfords ones with the raisins are like eating a piece of old wood, someone needs to send some more popular choices please- I’m agreeing with QB on the ones she didn’t like… liquorice is for serial killers 😂
Couldn't agree more, never heard of coffee crisp, crawford garibaldi cardboard or ginger coated biscuits, they all looked revolting? Liquorice allsorts should be classed as a form of torture! 🤢😂😂😂
@@violetlilly9644 🤣🤣🤣
It’s Canadian says on the wrapper …
@@keithrudd8003 ah I see… the title said British foods so I wondered how that one I had never seen
Queen Boomer...you are one of us! Too much marmite! Thinly spread. It does make good stock...stews ect. Great with cheese on toast. My Grandma used to have Fox's mints in her huge handbag(purse) 11 grandchildren all got given them. You two are so good to watch...still smiling😂 love ,& light from South Wales UK 💜🏴🌻
Brilliant start 😂 made me chuckle. You two are great❤
The Queen is bang on about Marmite being a very umami flavour. I'd also agree that a dark soy sauce is probably the most analogous thing to it that most people would have tried. I actually use Marmite for my extra special roast potatoes, which are typically a Christmas dinner treat.
First you peel and cut your spuds, obviously.
Then you add them to a saucepan of salted room temperature water, and you parboil those suckers, in order to remove most of the starch.
Next you drain them in a colander, as this roughs up the edges a bit (making the outside crispier post-roast).
Then you mix a bit of salt and pepper into some flour and give the potatoes a light dusting (again leading to a crispier exterior down the line).
Next you add a few dollops of goose fat to your oven dish, plus a dollop of marmite, and put this in the oven at 180c.
After a few minutes the goose fat should have softened and you can smear it and the marmite around the dish until it's fairly evenly spread about, before returning the dish to the oven.
Once the goose fat is starting to smoke take the dish out and chuck your spuds in, along with some sprigs of rosemary, and some garlic cloves, and then put it back in the oven.
After 20 minutes take the dish out, tussle the potatoes around a bit, and then return the dish to the oven. Do this again another 20 minutes later.
After a final 20 minutes (60 minutes total roasting time) your superior roasties should be done.
It takes a good bloody while to do but the results are divine.
Big Salute to Queen Boomer for tolerating the Marmite, what a trooper. She's a keeper for sure.
Must be a nightmare to cook for her. Liked the Marmite but didn't like the Tunnocks chocolate wafer. Odd.
you're not allowed to think marmite tastes meh, you either love it or hate it, if you dont hate it, then you must love it, gets better with each bite
Fox's Crunch Creams, dunked (quickly) into a proper strong brewed Yorkshire Tea. 🤤
In the UK digestive biscuits are used as a base for cheesecake. You can mix marmite with butter and spread on toast, to make it a little milder in flavour. Or add a teaspoon to gravy as a seasoning, it even makes a nice savoury drink added to boiling water especially in cold weather!
Was also designed to help with the digestive system
When u said that it tasted like ‘umami’ or the savoury flavour, especially the aftertaste, i thought that lady has a good palate …… very few people get that straight off & I’m not surprised u like it either, even though it was probably too much….. it’s better spread as thinly as possible & can be used to enhance other flavours or as a seasoning; with cream cheese or in a winter stew 😉
Marmite (or vegemite) on toast topped with raw onion, tomato with salt and pepper sprinkled on top is awesome, I definitely recommend trying it out!
Try white toast, butter, Marmite and sliced banana...and then buttered white toast on top. It's like some kind of weird and wonderful Chinese food thing! Sweet and sour, kinda. Great for breakfast, just to get your mouth working. Someone told me to swap the banana for strong Cheddar cheese...I tried it...great, but very very salty. But I did like it. More for beer O'clock time than breakfast!
I am definitely trying that.
Try hot buttered toast with one slice marmited and a fried egg in between its lovely for breakfast.
@nplittle7827 marmite and vegemite are totally different from each other vegemite is australian and tastes disgusting and is only sold in the bigger sized supermarkets in the UK
So, I've never seen a coffee crisp, or the ginger biscuits, but the liquorice allsorts - the Bassetts brand, which is the famous brand over here, I seem to remember that the square ones were flavoured according to the colour - brown, chocolate - orange, orange etc.The bumhole ones actually have coconut in them, and the sparkly ones are aniseed flavour, not liquorice.
Cadbury dairy milk is a must try. There's no chocolate like it. It has such a unique and distinctive Cadbury taste. It's so good.
It isn't the normal thing to do, but try digestive biscuits with a spread of butter and a slice of cheese (preferably cheddar).
Its amazing
Yes this, but not the chocolate ones :)
Stilton is better
Digestives with butter are Grade A superb... Another thing I like putting on them is Nutella
Hob Nobs! Now there’s a tasty option
As many people do like it, i would say it is normal.
Completely with you on the liquorice all sorts - not so much a sweet as something vile shaped to look nice.
My mom loves marmite so much when i was a kid she told me and my brother that marmite was bulls ear wax to stop us eating it.
Hi, Marmite is made from the bubbles you get on beer. They take the bubbles and put them in a huge metal cooking bowl. Then heat them up. Mixing it up all the time, so it does not stick to the bowl. As it gets thicker and darker in coulor they add some ingredients (Sorry do not know what they are.). Then when its got the right thickness they put it in jars and send it to the food shops. So I can get a jar for my breakfast on toast. They have only just redust the amount ofsalt in the Marmite. And I think it tast 20 times better with less salt in it.
Marmite is great for things like stir fry’s or adding flavour to gravy, especially with a beef roast!
Yuck no
Well done Queen Boomer! Liquorice & marmite are definitely love or hate foods.
Baby got her first hit of marmite! Here in the UK we're weaned on it! 🤣😉
Half of the UK* The other half can't stand the stuff, hence love it, or hate it
@@jackpatrick4462 The half that can't stand it were probably those traumatised for life by being fed it when they were babies! 😉😂
With marmite you have to start off lightly, you put a very thin layer on buttered toast to get used to the flavour, then you increase to you liking, I hated it at first, now I love it, also you can't beat marmite on toast with tinned chopped tomatoes and fried mushrooms, or a poached egg WOW! x
Queen Boomer is officially MORE BRITISH than American. Dunking the digestive is brilliant 😂😂😂
So glad the digestives are a big hit. I feel like your tea isn't hot enough though.. might just be through the video, but should def be steam coming off the cup. Then it's a whole different ball game with getting timing right with dunking before it falls in the mug.
I tend to use Marmite in my bolognese to help brown off the meat if i have run out/ low on OXO cubes (dry beef stock cubes) it gives it the umami flavour, also Marmite is good on just plane bread and butter not just on toast, oh and crumpets too. Here in England some of us actually use the OXO cubes and just break it into a cup and pour boiling water ontop (let it cool down first obviously) then just drink it, you can do the same with Marmite if you're "offended" with meat and meat byproducts! just put a couple of tea spoon fulls of Marmite in a cup and pour on the hot water, give it a really good stir, maybe pour on the water a bit at a time to disolve the Marmite properly. Yes you did still put a bit too much on and maybe not enough butter. As for the dunking of the biscuits, if you're not getting heart palpitations about if the soggy bit is about to fall off when you're dunking it then you're doing it wrong! 🤣
I was a Marmite Baby….raised on the stuff. Made from the ‘leftovers’ of the brewing industry, hence ‘yeast extract’. Always comes out as one of the things ex pat Brits miss most when they move abroad.
Funny thing though. It was originally created by a German scientist and is named after a French cooking pot, a Marmite. Picture on the label in fact.
I’m 66 now and still eat the stuff every day for my breakfast toast. Despite its origins it’s THE British spread. As one of their ad campaigns said “You’ll either love it or hate it.”
Great video.
Queen B looks nervous on her own. You did brilliant Queen B. Just be yourself you'll always win. you're so naturally funny.
Roast potatoes in marmite is also very good!
Fun fact. Marmite is actually the sediment that collects at the bottom of Guiness vats. There's always 2 or 3 Marmite trucks at the brewery when I pass it.
Marmite (yeast extract left over from brewing beer, with salt and celery) is very useful for flavouring soups and sauces. A big mistake people make the first time is to spread too much on their toast. It also enhances the flavour of many cheeses.
Forget Marmite. It's Bovril you want - you can use it on toast or to make a drink (1 tsp for a cup). Best drink ever. You can't put the cup down. Far nicer than Marmite.
As a kid I always preferred marmite in the summer and Bovril in the cold months. I'm the same with tea and coffee. Got to stock both!
Can't stand Marmite, and I suspect like many others, I associate a cup of Bovril as a must have drink at half time at a football match through the Winter months
Get the pre made ones in the little brown cup from home bargains , definitely need a Bovril at football in winter
@@kennwan9917 Same here! But I find Bovril is nicer to drink and Marmite is better to eat.
Yep, I have to say, although I really, really love Marmite, Bovril is such a great thing!! Bovril sandwich (cheap white buttered bread, a decent amount of Bovril and a glass of cold milk!) is excellent, on toast Bovril's fantastic, and it makes a really, really good drink - because it's basically high quality, very concentrated beef stock.
as others have said, experiment with marmite, with cheese in a sandwich or as an additive to stews/soups/gravy etc. You should try Bovril if you can get hold of it too.
Stir in half a spoon of Marmite in beef gravy it's MAGICAL!
Top tip for marmite - as others have said you spread it way to thickly on the toast, BUT you can use it as a stock and it works really well adding a savoury flavour to particularly tomato based things like soups and bolognese
Love it, marmite lover ❤️ less marmite and more butter, perfect 👌
All hail Queen Boomer! You gave Marmite the right type of mark! And it is good with broccoli. ♥🖤♥
Marmite on roast potatoes is a revelation.😊
The Chocolate Digestive that you both loved is also the UK's favourite. Second is Shortbread. A delicious, buttery, crumbly, cakeish offering. Well worth trying if you get the chance.
Wait a dang minute..We love you Boomers's however as a Brit 🇬🇧 I've never been able to get my hands on "Coffee Crisp"!! Maybe confused with "Toffee Crisp" that I adored as a kid here though
Coffee crisps are Canadian.
Yeah I’ve never heard of coffee crisp. But toffee crisp is very popular.
Toffee crisp is the 22nd best selling chocolate bar in the UK. The lion bar and none of the others even make it into the top 30.
Think they got conned a bit in the British section of where they were shopping.
@@neilgayleard3842that would explain it.
It's weird, the coffee crisps keep showing up in videos like this, but they're not a British product and I've never seen one here. I think they're actually Canadian.
I believe there are official websites that sell all kinds of UK stuff if you’re having trouble finding something specific like the flake QB mentioned
I put far less marmite on my toast. If you find it too salty & strong, just try a really small amount. You may find it far tastier.
Marmite is amazing.. on toast, less is more though 😊
Lol, the intro. Be afraid, be very afraid. The first one of liquorice allsorts wasn't even liquorice, just gelatine sweet.
Pity they couldn't find Bassets
The first one is aniseed flavour, I think.
Interesting comment about the Marmite teasing like an Asian sauce.
There's a Chinese takeaway in Guernsey (Channel Islands) that does crispy shredded chicken in Marmite sauce.
It's divine!
You need to try Tunnocks Tea Cakes! If you want to sample some superb tea, try Ringtons Breakfast tea bags. If you love Yorkshire tea you'll really love the Breakfast tea which I believe is available in the US. Chocolate Hobnobs are a highly recommend biccie too!
I like that you instinctively dunked the digestive in your tea. This is the way.
How Queen Boomer instinctively dunks digestives into the tea is hilarious😂 and that is a DANGEROUS amount of marmite
Great video, and spot on with the Digestives. When I was at uni I used to have them for breakfast. My only concern is that the toast was slightly burnt on the underside! Also marmite on cold toast with lots of cold butter is a different, better experience 🙂
You two are so lovely together love your opinions and takes on the things you watch 😊
Hi Q.B. in the Liquorice Allsorts, the blue one you particularly disliked are known as Jelly Spogs & are aniseed flavour. They are the only one`s I could never stand myself. The Fox`s Glacier Mints were marketed as cool, clear refreshing mints which most people could enjoy. The only mints I enjoyed more (not a strong mint person) were Opal Mints, which were the spearmint version of Opal Fruits.
Not only refreshing but chewy, sadly no longer available since the end of the `70`s. Opal Fruits were changed into Starburst in 1998 after 38 yrs to align with the global brand name.
Queen, you were wonderful, & correct in your decisions, imo, well done. Thanks for the vid, much love to you from the uk 🇬🇧
We used to throw a lion bar in the swimming pool just to watch people panic and see how fast the evacuate the pool 🤣🤣
Love you guys. Love from Manchester
11:30 I remember at family functions, weddings etc they would always give out Fox's Glacier Mints and I used to horde them and got home with like 100 to snack on at night. They taste more like sweets than an actual mint.
We forgive you for insalting our snacks but dunking chocolate digestives in tea gets you a gold star Brit award
Nice fun Vlog. Thanks
"Marmite - I wouldn't eat it for fun" has to be their next advertising tagline 😂
I’ve lived in the UK for 37 years and I don’t even know some of these products 😂
I loved this! 😁 tea and biscuits are always the best for me too, have a great weekend
Marmite is great to use like a concentrated beef stock (but its veggie) . Its really good with a roast joint of meat in its gravy to give it more flavour. That nasty thin biscuit, we used to call them squashed flies in our family when i was growing up, cos the raisins look exactly like old dead flies and the texture, a bit crunchy and insecty.. lion bar is yummy, liquorice is vile 100% agree, and ginger should not be with sugar and chocolate, ever. It should be in nice fragrant savoury food, Asian or Indian... or with lemon if you have a cold. Its good with turmeric shots. Not sweeties. Queen Boomer, you RULE! 💖
Twiglets are a wheat based snack with a marmite/yeast extract taste, maybe a touch burnt, that you could keep an eye out for.
An aquired taste, I once offered some to a couple of Austrian girls I met at a festival 'These taste horrible... why cant I stop eating them!?'
There is a variant of Marmite in the UK called Marmite XO (X-tra Old), it's matured longer and is actually smoother, more mellow and more rounded. I can eat it by the spoonful. If you kind of like Marmite a bit but find it a bit harsh, try Marmite XO.
Also truffle marmite. A one off special I think.
Never seen the coffee and ginger one's in our UK shops. You should try Tunnocks teacakes ❤ and chocolate hobnobs both so moreish
Hi Queen and King Boomer. The secret with Marmite is to spread it thinly. Please give it another try. But, as the UK Marmite advert says, " You either love it or hate it". Best regards - Robin (UK)
A few years back I was working in Dallas, I'm English, And I was missing some of my favourite sweets and food stuffs. A couple of the guys I was working with took me to a place in Dallas called The British Emporium, Where I could get most of what I was missing. Amongst those items was the Cadbury Flake.
The shop still exists and they do mail order in the states.
Roast Potatoes, brushed with some diluted marmite before they're fully cooked is heavenly
Funny how she said the mints would be good for before a date or kiss. Most restaurants give them out after a meal. 😅
I mean I’m not being funny but the queen bites less than a frigging fly would so how are all the taste buds gonna kick in to give you a proper flavour palette for each item. Also the liquorice all sorts aren’t the proper ones…. Not that they taste any better. And birder biscuits aren’t that popular…. Try ginger nuts! (I don’t mean a red headed guys…. You know what I mean!!!!)
Break out the Cadburys- Caramel, Whole Nut, Whole milk, flake, Double Deckers, Curly Wurly
Hit the nestle- Aero, Ripples, Minstrels, Toffee Crisp
Still goid vid would like to see more!!!
One taste and you realised marmite is a great cooking ingredient,, well done!
