WHAT I EAT IN A DAY England Tourist Diet

- This is not serious diet advice, and this is not a weight loss diet… this is what an Anglophile will consume in 24 hours if they have no regard for proper nutrition and weight management!
We decided to do this delicious binge whilst staying in the lovely market town of Tavistock in Devon, near the border with Cornwall. It was a very delicious and fun day that included all the English favourites… especially if you include what we ate the NEXT day as well!

I have to give @Means to Travel credit for us trying Thunder and Lightning ice cream, because I saw them eat it on one of their vlogs!
Nothing says "British seaside holiday" more than huddling in a doorway eating pasties or ice cream. It's the carry-on-regardless spirit that built the Empire!
Honestly, it is one of the most fun memories of our holiday with our friends! We will always remember huddling next to that smelly rubbish bin and sitting on the empty beer kegs… eating the most delicious pasties! Lol
Ah I don’t think I have ever seen such a beautifully arranged and moderate full English breakfast but looks very neat 😅
It is a lovely hotel, and they do very nicely presented breakfasts!👍👍
As a bloke who lives in North Derbyshire (north of England) I would happily drive to Cornwall (5hours) for a genuine Cornish Pasty. They are simply amazing!
Derbyshire is definitely a place we need to further explore (I have ancestors from Derby). We've driven through the Peak District a couple of times on our way to other places and both times the scenery was lovely. I recall driving the A57 down to Manchester and thinking that we need to take some time to check out this area with its forested hills and reservoirs. So far our only real experience in the area has been Chatsworth and Bakewell which is well worth the 2.5 hour drive from our flat in Gloucestershire.
@@ians3586 The A57 is 5 minutes from my house. Maybe you went over the Snake Pass and through Glossop on your way to Manchester. This is all where I am born and raised. Hope you will pass this way again soon. Good luck on your travels, Mike.
I bet there are some folks in Cornwall who would drive five hours to eat a fresh Bakewell tart in Bakewell! 😉
Looks like a fun day out with a good friend! I only every heard of pasties when we visited Michigan!! Looks good!!
They are common in the UP of Michigan because of the immigrants (miners) who came from Wales and Cornwall. They are delicious in both places, but you definitely get different fillings in Britain. Good stuff! Thanks for watching ;-) Cheers! Dara
Krista is really getting the hang of being on camera! Malt vinegar all day long on fish & chips (maybe a touch of ketchup). Dara you are forever the Director-Producer love it! You guys had me laughing! ~Cara 😊
It was a little crazy trying to film all the insanity that day, but it was a blast!
Sir Walter brought the potato back from the new world its a good job he did. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
Oh man, I can't imagine a world without potatoes. What would we eat with our fish?!?!
My Grannie used to grow Rhubarb in her garden, bake a pie, served warm, and no idea if it was a family or local 'thing' when you got served a slice of the pie, you lifted the pastry 'lid' sprinkled more sugar, then replaced the lid, no custard or cream
Not surprising, given how sour rhubarb is
Rhubarb pie is HEAVENLY! But I've certainly seen in more in the US than UK. Around here it's rhubarb crumble. I put a lot of sugar in my rhubarb raspberry pie... it's delicious and no extra sugar needed under the "lid". Thanks for your comment! I love hearing family memories ;-) Cheers! Dara
@@ians3586 exactly!
I am impressed . The drive to Looe from Tavistock is quite a trip taking in Gunnislake but you are rewarded with the beautiful scenery on the way through the valley and one of Sarah's pasties , which come as close to the old recipes as any , and a beer in Looe . Top crimp , raised crimp ,side crimp and number of actual crimps is not written down anywhere and as with the Cornish mile and pronunciation of Cornish place names they are intended to trap unwary tourists and have become the myth of legend , like so much of Cornwall today .
I lived in the furthest flung part of Cornwall ( where the film ' Straw Dogs ' Dustin Hoffman and Susan George was made and shown annually at the cinema in Penzance for decades ) and they are probably the exponents of winding up tourists .
This was the district of Cornwall where the last speakers of Kernewek , the Cornish language was spoken and the only place that made pasty pies decades ago .
A true English breakfast how my Mum used to cook it ( a House Cook in Chelsea back in the 1930s) , included devilled kidney and black pudding , and no baked beans ( very much a WW2 introduction from your neck of the woods but loved ever since - I love Boston baked beans and clam chowder by the way - but not mixed together though ! ) which may sound gross and definitely no no for vegies , but the flavour of black pudding with tomatoes and buttered toast is really delicious and rich . The Cornish have a white pudding or hogs pudding which is entirely different . More like a bland polony that takes up flavour when cooked in a sauce .
Fish and chips in Cornwall is great , but you will not find certain fish on the menu . What we call ' Rock Salmon ' ( Lesser Spotted Dogfish ) and 'Rock Eel' ( Conger Eel ) is not available . The Cornish won't eat it , not even on Tom Bawcocks Eve when they " supped on sebem (7) sorts of fish " , but is either dumped or sent up country to the London markets . Its a delicious fish when treated properly ( aired a couple of days to remove the ammonia smell ) is pure muscle with a single cartridge bone . The fishermen always dropped some off on my doorstep to cook myself . I could help myself to a variety of fish at Newlyn Market too as I knew Skipper Robert Stevenson and have had the pleasure to take the wheel of his trawler PZ185 on testing to Tater Du light and back to Penzance Harbour .
Tavistock is a short trip from Dartmoor and we would take the long route back to Cornwall have a few beers in Widdecombe and park up on one of the Tors on a clear night and watch the shooting stars until first light . Two Rivers a beautiful place for a morning paddle on warm days . Then on through Tavistock , Tamar Valley , Callington ( avoiding the Ginsters factory !) eventually picking up the A30 .
When you return , try to arrange your trip around one of the Feast Days of the Cornish saints , St .Agnes ( with their Pasty Company and Mortons bakery ) , St . Just , St. Ives , St. Mawgan etc , which are a hoot and last as long as you can stand up , with lots of food , sports , fun and games and plenty of booze of course .
Very interesting to hear about Kernewek! And I love your food descriptions... they are very vivid, and I'm a huge foodie!
It was fun to hear all your Cornish memories! Thanks for the tip about visiting when there is a feast day!
We love Dartmoor, and I even have a video which features a stop at a pub in Widecombe (which I mispronounced... sorry!). ua-cam.com/video/EpyTHqRWUOE/v-deo.html
I hope you enjoyed watching the zany adventures in this video of my day with my friend Christa from North Carolina. I'm now back in Texas, but Christa is here visiting me again! And we are of course eating lots of good FOOD! We have several taste tests that we did together... not sure if you saw our beans on toast or our cheese tasting video, or the Hobnobs one? All pretty silly but fun ;-) Cheers! Dara
I knew I would be starving by the end of this video -- YUMMMM!! Both of you ladies did a fabulous job of sharing your foodie reviews, with a little help from the guys as well, of course. I think this is now one of my favorite MOT videos!! But yes, I do hope all of you had an opportunity to walk off all those calories; certainly you did put in enough steps, Dara! 👍😋
Thank you so much, Bobby! When I was editing this video I felt like it was one of my favourite videos, too! You could just see what a blast we were having being together and eating all that delicious food! And Christa is hilarious!!💕😂
Like taking a rhubarby bite. It will get you through the rain! We agree with what should be thunder and lightning.
That was a small full English but you did need to save room for sure. Those pasties looked amazing!! One of everything please!! And I have to try rhubarb crumble and clotted cream ice cream! While the fish and chips looked great, I am not a fan of cod or haddock so I would of wanted to run back far another round of Sarah’s Pasties! Great video! Now I’m hungry!
Haha thanks for watching! Those pasties were tasty… I good go for the apple cinnamon one right now!
I did mention to you once before that when you are back in Cheltenham try Charles fish and chips at Royal Well, near the bus station. I have always found them excellent.
I forgot! Thanks for the reminder!!
Thanks for that. We've added it to our Cheltenham list and will probably be trying them out when our sons are here next month.
All gorgeous and scrummy food! haha,. yep the bacon totally looked fish shaped! The cornish pasties looked amazing, my kinda food! This was great to watch, glad you and your friends had a grand time!
It was SO much fun to film this! I even didn’t mind editing it. But now I have to force myself to finish editing my Tenby video for Friday. It is brutal and I’m really struggling 😭. Thanks so much for watching! XX
@@MagentaOtterTravels hehe bless you! Dont over do it! We love watching and whenever it comes out it comes out, but Tenby i'm sure will be beautiful! :D xx
@@PinnedonPlaces I’ve promised everyone that Tenby will come out this Friday, and I really need to finish my 8 part Wales series and move on! I’m still hopelessly behind 🙄
great sharing
Drinking a vanilla chai herbal tea in honor of this premiere. I’m desperately wishing it was accompanied by a pasty…
I'm sure! Sorry about that :-( You need to learn the make them...
@@MagentaOtterTravels I need to move to Cornwall!!
@@christabuchanan5889 well yes. That too!
In Cornwall, "thunder and lightning " is traditionally fresh white bread or split with golden syrup and clotted cream spread on it. I would imagine that this inspired the name of the ice cream. Syrup on first by the way.
Wow, that is FASCINATING! Thanks so much for letting me know. That sounds delicious... but of course, I would be a rebel and put the clotted cream on first! haha
But I am still lobbying for chocolate ice cream with honeycomb in it. Doesn't that sound good? Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers! Dara
Very interesting video, new friend here.
Cheers new friend! 👍
that food looks yummy,
good video always nice to see Americans enjoying my country,
most people say bad stuff about my country
but you absolutely enjoy our culture and land,
good video 👍🇬🇧
Thanks! This was one of my very favourite videos to film. What a fun day!!💕 Thanks for coming along. Cheers! Dara
I would like to know when beans on toast was made part of a full English break fast! Traditionally the full English has a list of ingredients broken into three courses just like a dinner menu.
1. Starters
Cereal with milk
Porridge (rolled outs boiled water or milk then cream [try whiskey snuck in])
Yoghurt with fruit
Fruit juice
2. Cooked food (just listed)
Bacon (unsmoked or smoked)
Sausage (variety of types, Lincolnshire, pork, beef and now veg [just examples])
Black pudding
White pudding
Kidneys
Kippers (smoked fish)
Eggs (all the different varieties of prepared egg)
Tomatoes (all the different varieties [normally tinned Italian plum])
Beans
Bubble and squeak (usually made from the previous days leftover potatoes
and maybe fried onions, fried usually lightly flavoured with beef or pork
dripping up like a lumpy stodgy pattey. this is where your fried hash brown
things came from, British mums needing not to waste anything during the wars
3. Toast
Best fresh thick slices white bread
Whole grain
French baguette. (If you must)
Real butter. Normally slightly salted
All the different jams (American jelly’s) you can think of
Marmite (always, always just a scraping on the butter)
Pastries (if you must)
Theoretically this is the English breakfast menu you could choose from some times odd ideas from people just get added somehow spinning it into things like beans on toast which normally is eaten for tea time (around 6pm) not to be mixed up with high tea (around 3pm for tea crumpets, tiny cakes and delicate finger sandwiches [two slice sandwich crusts cut off and quartered])
That is a very FULL breakfast indeed!! Thanks for your most thorough comment. Cheers! Dara
The only other time I’ve ever seen that many pasties purchased in one go was by a very hungover group of 12 stag party attendees, so that was some serious effort for the 4 of you!
We were on a serious Pasty Quest, and needed to try several kinds... But they were such HUGE pasties!! We sure made a good effort, didn't we? If you haven't seen my first Pasty Quest, you can check that out here: ua-cam.com/video/dGACq5U4WjE/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Cheers! Dara
That shape of pasty is normally a Devon pasty if crimped on top. Cornish crimp is the side. If it has suet pastry with different filling either end it is a Bedfordshire clanger.
Then I am shocked that in Cornwall at this delicious pasty place they had pasties with the cramp on top!!
This was fun Dara. The breakfast was ok, but ditch the bacon and add sausages! Now the Oggy!!! We Welsh like to think we were onto the pasty before the Cornish (they just marketed it better!!!) - oggy oggy oggy Is the welsh chant!!! We did the welsh history of the Oggie in our Llangollen video! They’re delicious though! The rhubarb icecream looked amazing! The fish and chips looked top class. What a fun day - a bit wet in places (loved the by the bins pasty scene!!) I’m obviously a bad Brit as I’ve never heard of a pineapple fritter - wills has just looked at me like I have 3 heads!!! I need to get out more!! Great video 🍻
Wow, I didn’t know there was controversy over the word Oggy! I always thought it was of Cornish origin.
I wish we liked sausages, but we just don’t 😝… at home we have eggs and toast on a regular basis, but we just don’t eat any meat with them. Please get a pineapple fritter with golden syrup the next time you have fish and chips! And then report back to me on what you think of it! Cheers! Dara
Pineapple fritter sounds great! So much deep-frying in this meal!
SO. MUCH. FRIED!
Did the 'Y' fall off 'PASTY' and they can't be bothered to replace it, or did it fall off 'COMPANY' and they replaced it with the 'Y' from 'PASTY'. I guess we'll never know. 🙂
It’s just a past company who is past caring 😂😂
@@MagentaOtterTravels 👍👍👍
All the food looks so good. Looks like some delicious meals were enjoyed which is so important when on holiday.
Yes, I think eating yummy food is almost the most important thing on a holiday! Next to spending time with loved ones 🥰
I really like a full English Breakfast, the veggie version. If there's a veggie version of the cornish pasty, I'd choose that too. The pastry and non-meat part of the pasty looks delicious. I didn't know there was a dessert version of a pasty. I would definitely eat that one! Btw, I was worried for you when I heard loud screeching from the nearby seagulls!
Yes, when I was editing I noticed how incredibly noisy those seagulls were! Just a reminder how close we were to the coast 😉! Whilst huddling underneath a stairway next to a smelly rubbish bin was not ideal, it did provide some good protection from those aviary rats! Yes, I eat vegetarian most of the time. Except I have a weakness for bacon 🥓😂… my favorite pasty from Padstow was vegetarian 💕.
Your poor fish looked awfully flaccid. When you went to pick it up it flapped like a flag on a windy day 🙂 Top tip, if getting takeaway, and you've a way to go before eating. Crack the box (we don't do boxes round here), or loosen the paper to let excess steam out. I always get my fish separate, and tear a corner off the wrapper to let the steam go. Save it getting too soggy on the drive home. Everything else looked good, though i laughed loudest when i heard the phrase 'vegetarian full English' 😂
Haha, yeah, I knew some subs would get a kick out of the vegetarian comment LOL!
Good advice on the fish! It does always get soggy...
All that delicious food!!! Did not get a pasty when I was over there as we tried to save room for our big meal at the end of the day. The one shop we visited in Lacock had little pasties and I was really torn on getting one. I should have! I love and chips and made sure I got some of that! ❤️
It was SO much food! More than any sane person like you would eat in one day, LOL! But we had a blast filming this! Now you have a great list of what you need to try on your next trip!!
We have a Tavistock here, but it's nothing like that, hahah! Can you really beat Cornish pasties? No way. They're the best.
Did you see that I ate rhubarb crumble ice cream in Cornwall? I had been craving it ever since your fantastic video!
Really interesting foodie tour! So much fun critiquing pasties, despite the Biffa Bin and beer barrels, and test-driving fish and chips in paper wrapping. But...you simply *cannot* by any stretch of the imagination describe cola and watermelon sweeties as 'elevenses'! Coffee or tea and digestives - yes! Fizzy pop - no! I mean, come on please...this is England! 😜
I know, that was a horrible excuse for Elevenses! 😂😂
We would enjoy your diet! We love pasties but there was ingredients in these we don't get here. Dessert pasties including apple we do have. Would love to try Cornwall's savory ones we don't! I enjoyed hearing you say that you needed to stop for dessert after eating the Cinnamon Apple! The fish and chips looked wonderful too. Thanks for bringing us along on this fat free adventure!
Do you get pasties in Wisconsin or Michigan? I never had them when I grew up in the Midwest. Yes, Brits in the West Country and Wales eat a lot of leeks and also lamb… things you don’t see much in the US.
It was a day full of gluttony… and SUGAR! for sure. Now I’m back to healthy eating and dieting! 😉 All the best to you two 💕
@@MagentaOtterTravels They are more prevalent in the UP of Michigan but we have them in northern Wisconsin as well in select shops and restaurants.
The batter on your fish looked very flabby! Happens when they are wrapped to
take away ... usually we would expectlight, fluffly and very crispy batter!
Tartar sauce is the best accompanient NOT ketchup! Vinegar also just
softens the chips ! A squeeze of fresh lemon is much bettter !
I replied to this comment yesterday, but I don’t see it now! I’m definitely going to take your advice and not wrap up the fish as we leave the chippy next time. And I’m also going to avoid having them put vinegar on it at the chippy.
Hi dara and all the best fish and chips in Cheltenham we smarts in Chalton kings get Ian to try those great video 👍
Thanks for letting us know. We've added it to our list of places to try in Cheltenham. We'll probably do that when our sons are here next week.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! Valerie suggested another chip be in Cheltenham . I think we need to film a Cheltenham chippy taste test video soon!
@@MagentaOtterTravels hi don’t forget the brown jug in the bath road wonderful Sunday lunch and lovely staff I have a fear of recommendations from incase it doesn’t work out but went there for my birthday in February and was blown away I’m sure it will 😃
@@vanessaking4495 cheers!
Hiya. That chippy had a VERY posh dining area, Dara. 😉 Stay safe. All the best to you.
Haha, yes I didn’t point out that we ate the fish and chips back an our posh hotel rather than at the chippy. I didn’t want to try filming in front of everyone at the chippy! 😬 And honestly, I didn’t even expect them to have tables at the chippy, since most are just takeaway.
I love pasties - try to make my own if time!!
Homemade baked goods are always the best!
Apple and cinnamon pasty sounds yummy. We would drive for that in a nice crust.
It was delish!
"For a pasty it's really good" Praise indeed from Dara 😉 Lovely place Looe just a pity about the weather.
For the record, it was Ian who made that comment. I actually LIKE pasties! 😂 It would have been easier to walk around those Cornish fishing villages without the rain, but it’s OK. My friends were here for two weeks and they needed to experience a little bit of rainy weather… otherwise it wouldn’t have been a proper trip to England! We had beautiful weather the rest of the time.
@@MagentaOtterTravels Of course you do. I'll blame my confusion on old age.😃 That's my excuse anyway.😉
Behave Dara and co! ! I mean where am I gonna get a pineapple fritter ,god that did look good. Xxx
No pineapple fritters in London?
Yep a lot tandoori restaurants them but I’ve always took the banana one instead but I can’t get one now was my point.
@@tonywilkinson6895 bring a tin of pineapple to your local chippy 😂
I’m trying to defend me self but I’m an able to it seems,if I’ve offended anyone,I’m truly sorry.Gimme a gun ,I’ll pull the trigger.😊
i am jealous of your feast, glad you enjoyed it
It was really fun, but I certainly couldn’t eat that way every day!😬
Did you get a stomachache after all of that fried food?! The clotted cream ice cream sounds like the most appetizing thing to try!
I didn’t get a stomachache, just a few extra pounds! 😂
I am starving now!!! 😂
Sorry about that!
Yummy video for sure
That was one of the most fun videos I have ever filmed! Thanks for watching 💕
Now all I have to do is get you to pronounce 'yogurt' correctly and then my work is done. 🙂
Yes I noticed that slip up! I say it both ways 😂
This was the day I was just up the road from you and I can vouch, that the weather was awful 🌧☔
All that delicious food and I ended up in a Travel Lodge eating Burger King
Poor you! You should have eaten a pasty!
@@wencireone we were in a Travel Lodge in London but no Burger King. Dara hasn't eaten a burger since 1983 and won't get near them. This usually leaves me deprived of my favourite food.
Ahh, I could REALLY eat a plate of fish and chips now! I love salt, malt vinegar, tartar sauce and tomato ketchup on mine! I will have to give the pineapple fritter and golden syrup next time I over there. You're eating your fish and chips in a very posh setting.
It was a posh setting!!! That was the breakfast area in our fancy hotel. And yes, if you have never had a pineapple fritter you really must give it a try 😋
Krista is so cute.Dara; “ do you need ketchup?” Krista long pause…”NO”..😂
Ian LOVES ketchup but Christa (like most people) thinks it’s an insult to the pasty 😂
Big fan of the stars in this video, but do have some food comments. Pasty's all looked divine. I don't understand Dara, you want the sweet and savory in one Pasty? Also Christa, how did your pineapple become a veggie when deep fried? So many questions. When will Coke bring Coke Zero Vanilla to me in the US? Oh and I'd die for the clotted cream rhubarb. Yum!!! Great video gal pals!
The tin miners had ate the dessert and savory pasty on one, but Dara can give you a better explanation than my pathetic attempt.
If I remember correctly, the cashier in the chippy said if we didn’t add golden syrup to the pineapple fritter, it was basically a vegetable 🤣
Yes please, Vanilla Coke Zero in the states!! When will be worthy?!
And that rhubarb clotted cream was to die for. 😭 Miss you friend!
Sharisa, I was also confused about the vegetable comment! 😂
Allegedly when the miners would take a pasty for lunch to eat down in the mines, the original ones had a savoury course and then a little pastry divider and a dessert course on one end. I just think it’s very novel! But eating two pasties (one savoury and one sweet) is pretty awesome! I had never had a dessert pasty before… big fan now! It’s like a fried fruit pie in the south 🥧😉
I love chip shop curry sauce but my husband has a visceral hatred of anything remotely curry like so l never get to have it. Before he retired he would travel a lot so l occasionally indulged myself but l had to make sure that it was several days before he came home as he could smell it days later!
Now I’m sad I didn’t try it!! I LOVE curry.
Put it on the list for next time!
Wow, your husband has a super sniffer, Liz !
Indeed he is, Dara!
So sad. It was a revelation to me when I discovered how good a British Indian takeaway is. However, I still prefer ketchup with my fish and chips, gauche I know.

Nice portion control on the english breakfast, i personally would have swerved the carby beans and thrown in a 97% or higher pork sausage. Would love to try a cornish pasty made there! There was some controversy a while back that pasties made elsewhere could not be called cornish but that seems to have since been overlooked! Ordering a pasty a day in advance? Wow, what a place! Think im with Ian on the whole pasty thing, it would have to be truly exceptional to put up with all that crust! The ice creams looked delicious, you are certainly getting the weather down there! Wow, well done on the steps, thats a great achievement. The fish looked freah and great as did your choice of sauces, the majority of the chips looked like they had been cooked more than once but im sure they were still tasty. Ooh, i love a pineapple fritter, not had one for years, thats going on my list to try in the very near future! Thanks for the reminder. Looks like a fun day!
Come on, beans are super healthy! If you’re going to avoid carbs, I say avoid the bread! Sausage is a great idea except for I just don’t like the taste of it 😝
I have heard that rumour about Cornish pasties! But thankfully, ours were legit in Cornwall, so we are good 👍
That rhubarb crumble ice cream was amazing! As was the pineapple fritter! So when you are going to splurge and have some carbs, I would highly recommend either of those 😋. Thanks for watching, mate!
@@MagentaOtterTravels your right, we nearly always avoid bread. English breakfast we do have nearly every day and yours looked exceptional! Id try a cornish pastie in Cornwall for sure. Always partial to a spot of ice cream and we do eat fish and chips on occasion, i have been known to be the person to send chips back though if they have been cooked more than once. I’ll let other cooking mistakes go but if taking a hit on chips they better be cooked first time from potato to order or i turn into the super grouch. My favourite bit was you guys trying the pasties and sheltering in the rain, that really sold the whole video, we’ve all been there, it’s quintessentially british and it put us right there with you. Pineapple fritters in golden syrup? I used to have them all the time and had completely forgotten about them. It wont be long before i am eating those again. Thanks for the reminder! ♥️
@@GENerationXplorers Yes, I totally agree with you! At the time I was not happy about the rain and hated having to huddle next to a smelly trash bin. However, it was the funniest part of the video!
About the chips, I think that’s really interesting… i’ve had other subscribers tell me that chips should be cooked twice to be extra crispy! My biggest complaint lately is chippies who are so busy they don’t cook the chips long enough. They are rather anemic looking and not very golden brown…
But for now we are back on our healthy eating plan until our sons get here and a little over a week. Protein shakes for breakfast, lots of fruits and veggies throughout the day! If you want to see what I drink for a protein shake, I have a homemade one I do six days a week. I have a video on my channel explaining how I make it. I don’t like protein powders, so I have my own version I make from scratch. It’s really crazy!
@@MagentaOtterTravels oh gosh, dont get me started on anaemic chips, ive had those once too! They were dreadful. Its a fine line. I know of a few chippies that i can rely on to cook potatoes upon request and make great chips but whenever im in a new area and in the market for chips i do stalk the customers in the area to see how their chips are being cooked! I know you eat healthy 99.999% of the time, just a cursory look at you or Ian shouts volumes towards that, which makes your indulgence videos even more entertaining and enjoyable, well done you! Right, im hunting down your protein shake video to learn a thing or two from you. Will pass the time as my post birthday, keto full english is getting prepped! ♥️♥️
Só many Nice things 🥰
It was a delicious day!
Homely food and nothing to really contradict your taste buds. Always better to eat when hungry because of the carbs.
We didn’t have a chance to get hungry that day! It was just so much delicious food all in a row 😋. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Cheers! Dara
Pineapples, are not actually a fruit as each nodule is a berry that is then clumped together. A definition of a fruit is that it has internal seeds. Berries are a gene pool all on their own.
No way! So you’re telling me that berries aren’t fruits? Mind blown! 🤯
See you in a bit, getting hungry here too. 🌱📺
This video will make you hungry! Cheers, Wade!
Wow - rhubarb crumble and clotted cream ice cream! Yum!! I love how you guys are making the most of things, despite the awful weather. Very British of you! Jolly good show!
Susan on @Rhubarb and Cod made a lovely video about rhubarb crumble ice cream… i’ve been craving it ever since! My friends were able to experience two weeks in England with lovely weather seeing all kinds of amazing places. They needed to have some good old rain when we visited those Cornish fishing villages just so they could have the proper English experience 😉
Iconic really, sit on empty beer and cider kegs for someone who doesn't drink alcohol
Right?!
Truly, all 4 of us are teetotalers
😂😂😂 side comment “ listen to her words….”
Yes, at first I was going to edit out that part, but Joel telling Christa how to film and Christa insisting that she needed to eat her pasty so badly she refused to focus on filming was just too hilarious!
Crista's American education is showing, luckily Dara pointed out that pineapple is a fruit.
What a bitchy remark.
Christa claims that she was quoting the server at the chippy. But I didn’t hear that comment, so I’m going to remain neutral in this debate 😂
Here's why, since we returned from Devon, we've only been eating salad.
HA
I was born in Plymouth and when we lived there a top crimp Pasty was a Devon Pasty and the side crimp was a Cornish Pasty. No idea why, maybe because there weren’t tin miners in Devon.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing that note. I was curious why some pasties had the crimp on the side versus the top….
I'm from Torquay, but my mother's mother lived in Devonport, and every time we visited for the day she gave us enormous pasties with a top crimp. We never called them 'Cornish' or 'Devon', and, since Devonport is just across the Tamar from Cornwall, I always assumed that 'Granny in Plymouth' was Cornish and was giving us Cornish pasties. Very many years later, I did a bit of family history research and discovered that she wasn't Cornish, or even Westcountry, at all, despite her strong accent - she was born in Holloway, London, and lived there at least until she was 12!
But there were indeed once tin mines in Devon - Tavistock is a 'stannary town'. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stannary?wprov=sfla1.
@@kennethgarland4712 I really appreciate you sharing these family history stories, as that is a lovely part of my channel. Isn't it funny all the family lore we have, and then we discover it's not all true? And food based family memories are of course my favourite ;-)
We really adore Tavistock. It's such a great place to visit! I do hope you check our my Tavi video if you haven't already. ua-cam.com/video/wsZ6LsLSBdY/v-deo.html Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Cheers! Dara
Since when has old Bobby given three comments on a video. Quick Game of Thrones reference there.
I’m glad for the comments! But I’ve never seen GOT so I’ll take your word for it 😉
What happened to the tomaytoes? Did you film all this on one day?
I did film this all on one day! A very high calorie day! Lol
Are you referring to the fact that I now say tomatoes the British way? I try to only do that when I’m here in Britain 🇬🇧😂
Yeeesss the south west is the best, I am a poet now apparently
Yes you are and yes it’s pretty darn great!
Is it vegetarian if you're eating egg?
@@Poliss95 Ahh, now I know. Thanks for the reply.
As an American, I am careful to take my tartrazine every morning.
Do you also take a dose of Red Dye #5?
Don't like sausages? I'm beginning to question my subscription to your channel 😂
NOOOOOOO! Pleeeeeeez don’t go! I would be very sad and miss you 😢! Hopefully next week‘s cheese tasting video will win me back into your good graces 😉
Please support us despite our faults. Unfortunately, I don't like sausages either. I only tolerate them occasionally.
And Dara & Ian live (part time!) in Gloucestershire, where you can get yummy Gloucestershire Old Spot sausages (made from the 'orchard pig' of that name)! Now exiled from the wonderful Westcountry to darkest Surrey, I've discovered that Waitrose supermarkets sell Gloucestershire Old Spot sausages. Full English breakfasts are not 'full' without sausages 😃.
@@kennethgarland4712 I shall have to refer to my breakfasts from now on as wimpy half English breakfast 😂! I have seen so many local sausage varieties that sound really good, but when I taste them I end up just not liking them… sorry! 😬
We just can't get decent food in america.
Well, it's possible... but you have to make an effort ;-)
