    Honeycomb Recipe
    Ingredients
    ½ cup superfine sugar
    4 tablespoons golden syrup or light corn syrup
    1½ teaspoons baking soda
    Method
    Put the sugar and syrup into a saucepan and stir together to mix. You mustn't stir once the pan's on the heat, though.
    Place the pan on the heat and let the mixture first melt, then turn to goo and then to a bubbling mass the colour of maple syrup - this will take 3 minutes or so.
    Off the heat, whisk in the baking soda and watch the syrup turn into a whooshing cloud of aerated pale gold. Turn this immediately onto a piece of reusable baking parchment or greased foil.
    Leave until set and then bash at it, so that it splinters into many glinting pieces.
    I suggest covering in chocolate or breaking it up and mixing it in Vanilla Ice Cream.

    This was a fun watch, but so much to help you with here!
    A pasty is a pastry with a savoury filling. Pumpkin pasties are not sweets (candies)! Pastilles (past-uls /past-eels if you’re posh or possibly from some parts of Scotland) are soft fruit gummy sweets covered in granulated sugar.
    Shortbread is a type of biscuit. A biscuit is called a cookie if they’re more of an American style soft cookie or have chocolate chips/nuts and a biscuit if they’re harder. I feel like someone needs to go to a British supermarket and make a video in the biscuit aisle of “biscuit” and “cookie” as an aid for Americans.
    The filling of a crunchie is honeycomb...
    People will probably tell you their best way to eat a marshmallow teacake (we have another completely different food called a teacake that is more like a roasting fruit loaf) but it will inevitably involve dismantling it and eating it in sections. My preference is for removing the chocolate from around the mallow, then eating the mallow then the biscuit or sometimes the biscuit base then lick out the mallow from the chocolate.
    British chocolate is far superior to American chocolate, but European chocolate is often even better for decadence.
    Here ends today’s lesson! I enjoy how enthusiastic you all are about trying snacks!

      It's because Hershey set the standard for what American chocolate tastes like. In their chocolate-making process, they purposely add soured milk. Chocolatiers in the rest of the world do not do this. The chemical that forms in this soured milk is the same chemical that vomit tastes like....so if you've had American chocolate and thought it tastes like vomit, that's why.

    @frugalfitmom When they ask for pasties in Harry Potter, it is not the same as a pastilles candy. Basically, for Americans to understand, a hot pocket is a generic version of an English pastie (says an American living in the UK) but pasties are so much better! The tea cakes are the same as Mallowmars in the U.S. And I will agree Christine, the chocolate here is much better, a higher cocoa butter content. The Crunchie bar is basically the same as chocolate honeycomb you get in chocolate shops in the US.

    I just got back from my homeland last week (I immigrated to Canada 30 years ago), and it was pretty much mainlining Irn Bru, Fish Supper’s, and tunnock’s tea cakes for two weeks.
    Check your local merchants for a Scottish & Irish store (and UK) they’ll more than likely carry the candy’s as well as other mainstays of British cuisine.

    A Pastille is a gummy lolly/candy
    A Pastie is made of a flaky pastry wrapping, like a pocket and filled with savoury filling, that's usually meat and veg and served hot as a snack or main meal

    Haggis is absolutely delicious but you must try eating it before you find out what is in it.
    Another delicacy for travellers are deep fried mars bars. Us locals do eat them occasionally.
    If you really like Harry Potter then you'll love exploring Edinburgh. Remember J K Rowling wrote it in Edinburgh and got many of her ideas from around the city.
    Irn Bru is well known as a hang-over cure, that's why it is so popular here!!!

      Haggis did actually sound good when I read about it in a story, but they made it the same day they slaughtered the sheep. Here in the USA, the freshest I could probably get (haven’t looked) is maybe a couple weeks old. Also, instead of sheep that grazed in untainted hills on their natural foods, it would likely be from an animal that’s only seen the inside of a shed and fed an unnatural diet while moving very little.

      @@christineheminger7762 Of course they were planning a trip to Scotland so they will be able to get plenty haggis if they manage to tick it off their bucket list.
      Irn Bru is also great, if they ever get to try the drink.
      I probably would have chosen the dolly mix and the mint bar too.
      If they really want to get the best from our chocolate, they should come during the festive period. There are all sorts of sweet treats around at Christmas time.
      And don't forget to try the whisky!!!!

    My daughter called the tea cakes ‘chocolate hills’ when she was a baby. 23 yrs later, the name has still stuck. The trick us Scots try is ramming one in your mouth, in one go, without breaking it. 🤭 Our chocolate is amazing, our tablet is really easy to make. I’m sure you guys can try it at home. I’m sure loads of other people have said, but the ‘pasties’😅 are pronounced past-ills 😊 thank you for the fun watch. If you do manage to come to Scotland you must do a city break, AND a holiday in the highlands. Experiencing both is best…if you can island hop along the way - even better. 😘😘

      They're called Melo-cakes here in Belgium and "Milka" (the brand) does them! Aldi do their own version here, and so does Lidl; might even be they are in the US too.

    My grandmother was from Scotland and we made Tablet many times when I was a child. The Tunnocks Tea cakes are my favorite! My cousin always brings them when she visits. The chocolate there is awesome but then so is all the dairy products. The milk, cheese and butter are worlds apart from ours. My uncle there said it was because of how rich the soil is where the grass grows that of course the cows eat. I haven’t been in over 10 years now and was just planning a visit when COVID made its’ appearance. Hoping to go as soon as the restrictions lift. I enjoyed watching your enjoy some of my fav treats!
