If anyone is in London, fancies something to eat, and is close to The Golden Hind? Just go there and tell them why you won´t be eating there. I fully intend to do that next time I´m in town.
Yeah that seems a little underhand. I mean, going in there and not ordering anything I could maybe understand but you were a willing paying customer, I don't see what you order matters, they should still honour your custom. Ridiculous.
The problem is a lot of good traditional British foods are the meals your mum cooks at home, if you ever get them in a restaurant (not all that likely) it's some fancy pants version of it... It's never as good!
As an Anglo Australian, every Sunday night was usually Roast Lamb with baked root vegetables, gravy and Yorkshire Puds, other Sundays it was Roast Chicken...Bangers and Mash with onion and tomato gravy was usually a mid week dinner, and Sunday morning breakfasts was Mum and Dad cooking a huge fry-up (grilled tomato, lamp chops or sausages, bacon, fried eggs, bubble and squeak, baked beans and little button mushrooms)....all fond memories of meals growing up lovingly prepared...now that I'm 43 years of age and living on my own, I miss home cooking but it's a struggle to even put a pot on for some corn these days!!!
Toad in the hole is just sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding. So in having a Sunday roast and bangers and mash, you've essentially had it. Great video.👍
You said that the Yorkshire Pudding is "essentially bread" but it's pretty much simply pancake batter just oven-cooked in a oiled baking tin for 20+ minutes so that it rises and turns a bit crusty at the edges.
Called dripping..A true Yorkshire was always cooked underneath the spit, on which had beef roasted whilst turning, so the batter "pudding" was soggy in the middle, crisp round the edge..It was served first with gravy, to fill you up so you had less meat!
You're all right. Yorkshire pudding is a savory popover. It is a batter made from flour, eggs and milk which is pretty much the same recipe as crepes and it's cooked in something similar to a muffin tin at high temperature in the fat (or drippings....because it contains some meat essence (gravy))
Any dish is made or ruined by the gravy. Too many places only make a type of Oxtail soup concoction from packet ingredients. A real gravy made from the juice off the roast is sublime!
Yes but amount served is important. Too little no good and to much drowns everything. Gravy should be served in a boat if posh or just a jug then all can have what they are happy with. Wish this guy would learn how to use a knife though. It's for cutting not dragging the meat apart.
Just imagine ....When you are retired and its a wet and windy Sunday afternoon and you are showing your video's to your grand children , all these wonderful moments will fill you with joy . I would have liked a camera like you when we were as young as you . I am English and now live in Australia and I thank you for the memories . Cheers
Funny isn't it.... Bangers n mash/pie n mash, bubble n squeak used to be poor people's food. Cheap leftovers, now restaurants are charging a small fortune for these dishes lol
Pokerclown 79 - My thoughts exactly..! Welcome to rip off Britain, where these working class, poor mans dishes are being 'poshed up' in pubs/restaurants & sold at extortionate prices. Toad in the hole has become "Gold in the hole", Bangers n mash is now "Bangers n cash", Bubble n Squeak has morphed into "Pay double n Squeak"...The good old days I fear, are gone forever...
Its the same with poor peoples French food, Italian food, Mexican food, Carribean food etc etc. It shows that making the most of what you have often beats the most exotic dishes
What are you talking about? Butcher's don't charge the Earth for great sausages (the one near me won a national award and it's around a fiver for 8, a potato is a fucking potato, peas are super expensive now? Who is ripping you off? Did you vote Brexit?
Man Beadle lol wind your neck in petal. Yes I did vote brexit not that it's any business of yours. You seem to have missed the point completely. I grew up in bow where this food was poor people's food, now there are a multitude of restaurants serving these exact dishes for a handsome price. Always one who misses the point isn't there
Man Beadle - We are not saying that the raw produce is a rip off, the gripe is that restaurants/pubs are charging silly prices for these low cost traditional dishes made from cheap simple ingredients...
I used to live in the UK long time ago and loved a Sunday roast! Usually the pubs I would go to there Sunday roast was more of a buffet set up. It was also the first time I ever had parsnips ... and I now love them! Now I'm back in the States and I miss the Sunday roast experience and I definitely miss Yorkshire puddings!😊🍴
This may be a completely pointless comment, but here goes... In Hampshire, in a village not far from mine, is a traditional and independent country pub called The Shoe. It's in Exton, near Meonstoke. They do incredible traditional English meals. All of their produce is from local butchers and grocers and fishmongers. It's all very reasonably priced. If you're ever near there, then I urge you to have a meal there. It is incredible. They do a slow roasted belly of pork with cider jus, potatoes and cabbage. It is insane. People travel from so far, just to go there. Anyway, as always this is a brilliant video :) x
I just looked up The Shoe and it looks lovely. I hope to get to England sometime in the next year or two, and if I base my stay in the south, I will definitely keep this place in mind. In the States, places like this really market themselves as "farm-to-table," but the prices they charge would probably be about 25% higher than what they're asking at The Shoe. I think we're one of the only countries in the world that would actually charge *more* for locally sourced, fresher ingredients. In short, your comment was not pointless at all. ☺️
Yorkshire Pudding used to be served before the main Sunday Roast (the meat and rest of the delicious veg) - it was a typical Mother trick to fill up hungry appetites BEFORE they attacked the main meal :) At least that's what some Yorkshire friends told us :D
Also those fluffy hollow individual things are not Yorkshire Pudding, they're batter puddings. Yorkshire Pudding is cooked in a roasting tin in the fat from the joint and then cut into slabs to serve with gravy made from the meat juices.
You need to head North when you come to England. Lancashire or Yorkshire. Less metropolitan and full of the traditional foods that have not been altered or modernized. Things like Hotpot, Lobbies, Pies and real Yorkshire puddings - not the huge tasteless types found down south. I'd also recommend a real Sunday Roast. Love the vlogs so keep it up guys!.
Well, they can be ... and then you put your dinner inside them !!! I have been told that originally you were given the yorkshire pudding first before the main meal to fill you up ... is that right?
Yes, that's what I used to get as a kid. They still do Yorkshire pud starters in a few places, particularly in rural Yorkshire. I had them when back in England last year in Scarborough.
People in Yorkshire will also eat them with orange juice squeezed over and sugar or with jam as a sweet pudding. I lived i Yorkshire for 12 years, also it's cooked in Beef dripping, same as the fish and chips is deep fried in that and the roast potatoes.
I stumbled across this UA-cam site, really refreshing to see Americans trying different food, and their reactions. UK, Germany, France, Italy, we always make great meals from left overs
First and last time watching, however I was pointing out its not their "right" to do whatever they want, perhaps at the expense of other paying customers or the possibility of interrupting a business thats trying to serve other customers as well.
Always ask your B&B owners where to eat local foods. I lived in The US for many years and never got over all the fuss and seemed stressed out cooks in the preparation and serving of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners...In the UK that is done almost every Sunday for the family ....no stress no fuss just the norm. You do the best of this type of Video...thank you two thumbs up from a Brit.
Love all of these dishes! I lived in England for 8 yrs as my hubby is British and it was an amazing and educational experience! Would totally live there again!! I am absolutely in love with the food, culture and easy travel everywhere there. We live back in TN now and yes, it is a major culture shock for my hubby comparatively lol! We did a heck of a lot of traveling abroad when we lived there and I miss that so look very much. We would love to drop everything and travel the world as we don't have kids yet and still have never lost the hunger for travel and it has only increased since we began :) A few other things you should try over there is, Nandos (food chain), many pubs will serve the spotted sick or toad in the hole. The other things you both should try is, something called, Lardy cake - SO FREAKIN GOOD! You can find it at a good bakery. Also, you should definitely try Lancashire hot pot, hunters chicken, along with an Ethopian place called Queen of Sheba in London - I know its not English but it is such a good place to eat - very small and quaint but so so good :) if you need anymore recommendations just let me know and I would be happy to help as there are so many places to try! 😀
Bubble and squeak was usually had on a Monday evening to use up all the vegetables left over from Sunday roast, so the roast potatoes would be mashed down with the veg.
Whow, that's too bad and rude to throw you out... Big city kind of thing? Never had such an experience in England. Nevertheless, the rest of the food looks really nice.
That is not traditional bubble and squeak 🥺 the original is indeed the left over roast dinner. So roast potatoes, mash, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, carrots 😁
Really surprised they kicked you out, but that's London I guess. You guys should try visiting up north (I know you've been to the Lake District) and visit all the big cities up here like Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds etc plus the pretty ones too like Chester and York. Not only is it cheaper up here the people are nicer and won't kick you out! :)
Even in a gastro pub with a separate restaurant section, surely they could have served just desert in the bar if the restaurant section was busy? Ridiculous.
Toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding with sausage baked into it. Spotty disk is a desert see ed with custard. I did a bardge Holliday in Cornwall years ago, cursing the canals mooring up at all the town's exploring shopping eating real Cornish pasties, hmmmm. Bought fish right of the ships that would come to shore and sell there fresh catch that day. Was the best Holliday. Was over 40 years ago yet it's something I never forgotten.
Bubble & Squeak was known as a fry-up when I was growing up We would always have it on a Sunday night for supper, when there was leftovers from t(e Sunday roast, & mum would literally fry it.
Hi Eric and Allison (and friends!),Love you and your videos!Love how open-minded and positive you are!Love how maturely you respond to (a few) unpleasant people and their comments!I think you must be the nicest couple on the planet right now!As a Brit I'd just like to say that the pudding with the funny name is nice enough, but there are much better and more exciting alternatives. Although you've already discovered that UK food isn't too bad, in my opinion our puddings are unsurpassed! Personally I would recommend jam roly-poly or syrup sponge pudding with hot, steaming custard! Also sticky toffee pudding or treacle tart with cream or ice-cream (a dark treacle tart like they do in the north of England is fantastic when served warm on a cold day!). Other highlights are Bakewell pudding or tart, and bread-and-butter pudding -- comfort food par excellence!Sorry for the essay! Have a great time over in Europe, but hope you come back to the UK soon!
Haha sometimes it's a bit disheartening to see the harsh comments come through, but we try our best to ignore them or calmly reply 😊 Thanks so much for all the yummy recommendations! We were just talking about how many dishes we still have left to try in the UK and these are all great additions to our list for upcoming trips 👍👍 Glad to have you along for the adventure!
I have watched 3 maybe 4 of your videos and I'm hooked. I'm from England, lived here all my life and you guys are teaching me things I never knew! Plus you are so respectful to our culture, food etc it makes me want to continue watching. Which is what I am about to do. Hope to see you back here soon
At one time you could be thrown out of a restaurant in England if your trouser did not have a red stripe down its side or your shoes had a two tone design.
The batter is the same for Yorkshire pudding and the popovers that you have in the USA. For popovers you brush individual moulds with butter and put the batter in, for Yorkshire puddings we use either oil or the fat that comes from roasting beef.
If your back in Scotland particularly the north east you need to try fish and chips, haddock not cod, just landed from Peterhead first thing in the morning and straight onto you plate either deep fried (battered) or with breadcrumbs shallow fried with peas and tartare sauce. Also you have to try stovies (sto vees) with oatcakes and beetroot! x
0:45 Yorkshire pudding is the same stuff (batter) that fish is cooked in when you eat fish and chips. It's just that Yorkshire pudding is baked and fish batter is fried.
Yorkshire pudding is basically a big popover -- a very simple batter baked at high heat, which causes the batter to produce a sort of foam -- light and airy.
when we had sunday roast at my grans the yorkshire pudding was a course on it's own with lashings of onion gravy. But we also have them cold with jam (jelly)
Best Sunday dinner ever is my mum's! But then I think everyone says that. Just for info - Yorkshire puddings was always served alone with gravy before the roast and veg. It was to fill you up so you didn't need too much meat which was expensive. Now it's all on the one plate.
That's London for you !!! come to Lancashire you will be made so welcome and order what you want with out getting kicked out !!! Great videos folks 😁😁😁
I am a Glasgow born American,went back in 1970 and stayed with my Grandmother for a couple of months.One thing about food,the eggs were more dense as was the bread.Loved the Harp Lager and the Guinness too.Fish and Chips.....the greatest!!!
The bubble and squeak was just plain wrong. The potatoes should be crushed (not mashed), mixed with cooked cabbage and quickly fried in bacon fat until caramelised. Never ever had it for breakfast either. Love your videos by the way.
Bubble and squeak used to be common for Monday lunches, using all the meat and veg left over from Sunday roast. The meat is eaten cold, usually with pickles, and the bubble and squeak may have cabbage, carrots, sprouts, mash or crushed potatoes etc and also any leftover gravy warmed up to go on top.
Kay Rogers It is classic breakfast grub you ignorant fool. It’s should also not be quickly fried because good bubble needs to be frequently crushed into itself to create more crispy bits
It seems that management at the Golden Hind would welcome vloggers who help them market their service and product. Mindless to stick to a rule in such a case. BTW, I showed your video to a student of mine to che
As a 'Londoner' feel heart-warmed that you guys (and gal!) enjoyed our popular dishes so much! Sorry you didn't get the dessert/pudding experience you were looking for x
Next time you guys are in England I recommend trying out a traditional English dish called 'Chicken and mushroom pot noodle' which can be complimented by another traditional English dish 'Rustler deluxe with bacon and cheese'
Fab. The Yorkshire pudding was a frugal part of the meal historically. The volume of the pudding with the gravy would fill you up. My gran used to serve the pud with the gravy first, then would follow the veg, potatoes (tats) and meat with more gravy. The meat was minimal as the most expensive cut of the dinner. Left over Yorkshire pudding would be served cold for supper with jam (jelly)...
I wouldn't worry about having a toad in the hole, it's just Yorkshire pudding with a couple of bangers in it, both of which you have already sampled. Don't Americans have Sunday roasts - I guess not. Enjoyed the video.
I absolutely adore your videos and have been binging on them for a couple of weeks now, I only discovered them recently and love your honesty and appreciation. The Sunday roast looked delicious and took me back to my childhood when mum used to make Yorkshire puddings the size of the plate and put the rest of the meal on top with a pool of gravy on the Yorkshire pud and over the mash. Your's seemed upside down but still looked delicious. I search for your new videos every couple of days and hope you make it to Australia some day. Keep the videos coming, you're doing a fantastic job.
Ugh I freaking loveeeeeeeee Sunday roasttttttt ❤️ You can even get some delish veggie ones here in London. Cauliflower cheese = so good (and healthy. ish.)
It’s English pancake mix. We make pancakes out of the same recipe. In Yorkshire they eat the Yorkshire pudding with jelly, we call jam, fruit jam. Roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, is a typical Sunday lunch with veg and roast potatoes and mash.. we love Sunday lunches.lol 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think that you made same mistake all visitors to London make. And that is going to central London and expecting to find true London. It’s filled with tourists who are getting ripped off. If you want to meet real people and eat real food, go to south or north London.
Or better still, get out of that expensive, noisy, dirty, dangerous shithole completely. There is so much better to see in the rest of England, (as well as the entire UK)
tryptychUK The only people who think london is dangerous are people who don’t know it. It makes me laugh when people say it. I’ve lived in London my whole life and never been a victim of any crime. But that doesn’t suit your moronic ignorant narrative does it?
@@nick260682 I know London very well and lived in the East End for over 10 years. It has become dirty, expensive and to some degree, dangerous. That's why I left.
In Yorkshire we have the puddings as a starter with onion gravy And then at the end we have them with a bit of jam/jello on as pudding. Try it. Trust me it's good.
You do realise a lot of these foods are British, not English don't you? I'll give you the Yorkshire Puddings as English, but the rest are traditional across the British Isles.
Your 1st task with a huge Yorkshire is to break it down and soften it with gravy, mash etc. Also that part of Oxford Circus you said was crowded, outside Benetton Shop, is the exact spot where I've had my most extreme claustrophobic experience ever. Glad you're enjoying our fair and sometimes pleasant land.
Not at all. It is whatever leftover veggies you have plus mashed potato. One of those is often cabbage but can just as easily be carrot, parsnip, peas, beans or onion.
@@sav7568 That is not bubble and squeak. Not quite sure what it is, but bubble and squeak is left over brassicas and spuds. It actually does not work properly with other ingredients. Proper B & S should be kind of like a fritter or rosti or a fishcake. Crispy on the outside, soft filling on the inside. You can't get that if you chuck in all manner of other veg. Better pureeing them and using them as a base for soup. Sorry if that is being 'pretentious! Lol
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 It all depends on what school your mother went to. Bubble and squeak is a Monday morning fry up made from Sunday's roast leftovers. Chop the vegetables, add a lump of butter to the frypan ( back in the day it was dripping) toss in the vegetables and mashed potato and fry Until brown on the bottom. Simples.
So glad you liked the British grub. The key to eat well in England is don't go cheap. You wouldn't fly to the states and just eat in Denny's. Looks like you chose well. There are amazing gastro-pubs in every village seek them out. A good guide is to ask if the chips are frozen or fresh cooked, if they're frozen go somewhere else.
The massive Yorkshire pudding and cheese in the cauliflower make this more a pub lunch, as opposed to a traditional Sunday lunch. The 'yorky' would usually be a lot smaller (that is more like choux pastry) and only with beef. Traditionally you would have apple sauce with pork (urgh!). I suspect that is why all the veg (which traditionally would be on the same plate) is served as a side - cus you can only get that bloody massive choux yorky on the plate!
Yorkshire puddings are basically the same as pancake batter. But then how I do it is in a cupcake tin with a little bit of oil in each one. Then they puff up in the oven
The idea that British food is bad is a miserable lie and falsehood that has been propagated by the ignorant. I get mildly offended (like actually offended) when people say so. British food is, if anything, and if I had to reduce it to one word, HEARTY.
Devonian - A lot of it is very unhealthy...Take "Toad in the hole" for example, it's basically a pool of batter with fat laden sausages thrown in, drowned in a quart pound of lard generally served with potatoes, mashed with half a pound of butter, lovingly drowned in full fat milk with lashings of salt..! That load of fat & stodge makes tripe on toast dipped in dripping, (oh, another British delicacy) sound appetising.. ;)
What you call unhealthy I call hearty. Saturated fats aren't actually bad for you. Sausage fat, butter and lard are all good for you. Fat is essential for the diet. Its a modern myth that fat is bad for you, as long as your diet isn't all fatty foods and you exercise then eating foods like this is absolutely fine. In fact if you cut out such foods theres mounting evidence that it will damage your health.
SKYLANDBAK french cooking, which has a reputation for being some of the best around, is even less healthy. They put butter and cream in pretty much everything. Heard of confit? It's a french cooking method where meat is boiled slowly in oil, soaking up all the fat. Then there's all the pastries and cakes; eclairs, croissants, macaroons, etc. I know I'm replying to a near year old comment, but dammit I had to defend English cuisine!

perfect!
sam the cooking guy on his visit also had a problem with the same place, check out his visit to london vid.
will do, im going near there soon, if its still open
Love your videos. I'm shocked you were asked to leave the pub so have written to them saying that as a Brit I am ashamed at their behaviour! Sorry.
Hah nice one, we were shocked as well!
well now they're all over the net looking like proper idiots so what goes around comes around. so typical of customer service in this country.
Paul Clarke quite right mate! Shameless London.
I've also been to their website and told them how their wonderful customer service is now on youtube
Yeah that seems a little underhand. I mean, going in there and not ordering anything I could maybe understand but you were a willing paying customer, I don't see what you order matters, they should still honour your custom. Ridiculous.

Micheal Jones i have to agree with you on this. I am an Englishman and home made is always the best choice.
Whilst home made is best, a carvery is one of life's most perfect experiences
Josh FUT carvery is usually frozen, not fresh
Just what I was thinking.
Micheal Jones fancy pants, good one....

Toad in the hole is just sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding. So in having a Sunday roast and bangers and mash, you've essentially had it. Great video.👍
True, guess it was pretty close!
Nowhere does comfort food like the British, Pies, gravy, pasties, roasts, stews, soups, it's all there.
You said that the Yorkshire Pudding is "essentially bread" but it's pretty much simply pancake batter just oven-cooked in a oiled baking tin for 20+ minutes so that it rises and turns a bit crusty at the edges.
Ideally the baking tin uses the fat from the roast meat.
Called dripping..A true Yorkshire was always cooked underneath the spit, on which had beef roasted whilst turning, so the batter "pudding" was soggy in the middle, crisp round the edge..It was served first with gravy, to fill you up so you had less meat!
The Yorkshire Pudding is a lot like popovers
I always felt as an American having had Yorkshire pudding, that the pudding was essentially like our rolls but all into one and baked
You're all right. Yorkshire pudding is a savory popover. It is a batter made from flour, eggs and milk which is pretty much the same recipe as crepes and it's cooked in something similar to a muffin tin at high temperature in the fat (or drippings....because it contains some meat essence (gravy))
Real bubble & squeak isn't grilled, It's done in a frying pan on the hob.
Americans say grill when they mean pan fry, and broil when they mean grill.
Grilled in USA it means on a top grill...it's flat
The best bubble and squeak is mashed spuds with left over Brussel Sprouts and chopped fried onions, done in the pan until it is almost burned.
It's got to be fried with lard
@@fredgrove4220, absolutely agree must have Brussel sprouts and cabbage!!!
Any dish is made or ruined by the gravy. Too many places only make a type of Oxtail soup concoction from packet ingredients. A real gravy made from the juice off the roast is sublime!
So very true.
I really like the vegetarian gravy at Toby Carvery, I choose that over the regular gravy to put on my roast
Leave a pan of water under the roast left on a grill rack.
After cooking, add a little cornflour and seasoning.
Can't beat it.
Yes but amount served is important. Too little no good and to much drowns everything. Gravy should be served in a boat if posh or just a jug then all can have what they are happy with. Wish this guy would learn how to use a knife though. It's for cutting not dragging the meat apart.
@@Thursdaym2 Agreed. Americans have appalling table manners.
Just imagine ....When you are retired and its a wet and windy Sunday afternoon and you are showing your video's to your grand children , all these wonderful moments will fill you with joy .

Hold on, bangers and mash but no peas? What manner of destitution is this?
That's why is called Bangers and mash and not Bangers and mash and peas. Idiot.
same as fish and chips without mushy peas
Must have peas!
i agree ,i cant eat any hot homely meal without some kind of nice vegetables !!! otherwise its more mush and less consistency
Hugh Jarce good lad
Bubble and squeak refers to the fermentation of cabbage in your stomach and the squeak is the apparent release of the gas buildup.
Funny isn't it.... Bangers n mash/pie n mash, bubble n squeak used to be poor people's food. Cheap leftovers, now restaurants are charging a small fortune for these dishes lol

That’s correct, served as a starter or even desert with jam
In the U.K. what you just called 'cheesy cauliflower' we actually call 'cauliflower cheese' ;-)
You need to head North when you come to England. Lancashire or Yorkshire. Less metropolitan and full of the traditional foods that have not been altered or modernized. Things like Hotpot, Lobbies, Pies and real Yorkshire puddings - not the huge tasteless types found down south. I'd also recommend a real Sunday Roast. Love the vlogs so keep it up guys!.
That Sunday roast looks like a pompous chef has gone all artistic,nothing like traditional Sunday roast we had at home with mum.
If you want more traditional British foods you would be best getting them when you're out of London
its really great to know that there are americans out there that actually enjoy eating british food.
I am English born and bred and have NEVER EVER seen such a big Yorkshire Pudding !!!!!
In Yorkshire they're as big as your plate
Well, they can be ... and then you put your dinner inside them !!! I have been told that originally you were given the yorkshire pudding first before the main meal to fill you up ... is that right?
Yes, that's what I used to get as a kid. They still do Yorkshire pud starters in a few places, particularly in rural Yorkshire. I had them when back in England last year in Scarborough.
People in Yorkshire will also eat them with orange juice squeezed over and sugar or with jam as a sweet pudding. I lived i Yorkshire for 12 years, also it's cooked in Beef dripping, same as the fish and chips is deep fried in that and the roast potatoes.
Have you ever made them yourself or have you only ever eaten frozen ones from the store? The bigger the better.
I stumbled across this UA-cam site, really refreshing to see Americans trying different food, and their reactions. UK, Germany, France, Italy, we always make great meals from left overs
Bubble and squeak is sort of a Monday meal. Once you've had your Sunday roast, you fry all the leftovers together and boom! Bubble and squeak!
This is the reason I love Sundays. You can't beat Sunday dinner.
I can not get my head around the fact they kicked u guys out for just ordering dessert i have done thsi my self.
bunch of sour pants.
Yeah, we were a bit baffled by that one 🤔
I never really thought of it like that. still crazy i would rather make a few quid rather than nothing .
Perhaps they didnt want their other customers bothered by the obnoxiuos filming or the droll commentary.
my thoughts too no body makes you watch there vlog I personally love em an look forward to them . great job guys .
First and last time watching, however I was pointing out its not their "right" to do whatever they want, perhaps at the expense of other paying customers or the possibility of interrupting a business thats trying to serve other customers as well.
Always ask your B&B owners where to eat local foods. I lived in The US for many years and never got over all the fuss and seemed stressed out cooks in the preparation and serving of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners...In the UK that is done almost every Sunday for the family ....no stress no fuss just the norm. You do the best of this type of Video...thank you two thumbs up from a Brit.
Love all of these dishes! I lived in England for 8 yrs as my hubby is British and it was an amazing and educational experience! Would totally live there again!! I am absolutely in love with the food, culture and easy travel everywhere there. We live back in TN now and yes, it is a major culture shock for my hubby comparatively lol!
We did a heck of a lot of traveling abroad when we lived there and I miss that so look very much. We would love to drop everything and travel the world as we don't have kids yet and still have never lost the hunger for travel and it has only increased since we began :) A few other things you should try over there is, Nandos (food chain), many pubs will serve the spotted sick or toad in the hole. The other things you both should try is, something called, Lardy cake - SO FREAKIN GOOD! You can find it at a good bakery.
Also, you should definitely try Lancashire hot pot, hunters chicken, along with an Ethopian place called Queen of Sheba in London - I know its not English but it is such a good place to eat - very small and quaint but so so good :) if you need anymore recommendations just let me know and I would be happy to help as there are so many places to try! 😀
Bubble and squeak was usually had on a Monday evening to use up all the vegetables left over from Sunday roast, so the roast potatoes would be mashed down with the veg.
Whow, that's too bad and rude to throw you out... Big city kind of thing? Never had such an experience in England. Nevertheless, the rest of the food looks really nice.
No, they look too classy to be Trump supporters.
That is not traditional bubble and squeak 🥺 the original is indeed the left over roast dinner. So roast potatoes, mash, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, carrots 😁
Really surprised they kicked you out, but that's London I guess. You guys should try visiting up north (I know you've been to the Lake District) and visit all the big cities up here like Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds etc plus the pretty ones too like Chester and York. Not only is it cheaper up here the people are nicer and won't kick you out! :)
We definitely plan on exploring the north more next time!
The Endless Adventure yes please come to Manchester! I would love to see you explore my city :)
Scott Turner-Preece it wasn't London, it's Cornwall
The pub was Cornwall, they were kicked out of the restaurant in London
Don't forget Scarborough. A trip to the castle followed by proper fish chips and a visit to the harbour bar for ice cream.
Their comments were great, these guys appreciate good food and British pub grub is mostly traditional, tasty and great.
They kicked you out, WTF? That would NEVER happen in the North. If the table was reserved we would find some extra chairs and make some room for you.
Even in a gastro pub with a separate restaurant section, surely they could have served just desert in the bar if the restaurant section was busy?
Ridiculous.
@@alexwright4930 I agree....very very poor form to kick paying customers out. They should be flexible enough to manage that.
Toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding with sausage baked into it. Spotty disk is a desert see ed with custard. I did a bardge Holliday in Cornwall years ago, cursing the canals mooring up at all the town's exploring shopping eating real Cornish pasties, hmmmm. Bought fish right of the ships that would come to shore and sell there fresh catch that day. Was the best Holliday. Was over 40 years ago yet it's something I never forgotten.
They are not usually stuck up like that Golden Hind place,will have to remember to avoid that it next time we're in London.
Bubble & Squeak was known as a fry-up when I was growing up We would always have it on a Sunday night for supper, when there was leftovers from t(e Sunday roast, & mum would literally fry it.
Hi Eric and Allison (and friends!),Love you and your videos!Love how open-minded and positive you are!Love how maturely you respond to (a few) unpleasant people and their comments!I think you must be the nicest couple on the planet right now!As a Brit I'd just like to say that the pudding with the funny name is nice enough, but there are much better and more exciting alternatives. Although you've already discovered that UK food isn't too bad, in my opinion our puddings are unsurpassed! Personally I would recommend jam roly-poly or syrup sponge pudding with hot, steaming custard! Also sticky toffee pudding or treacle tart with cream or ice-cream (a dark treacle tart like they do in the north of England is fantastic when served warm on a cold day!). Other highlights are Bakewell pudding or tart, and bread-and-butter pudding -- comfort food par excellence!Sorry for the essay! Have a great time over in Europe, but hope you come back to the UK soon!
Haha sometimes it's a bit disheartening to see the harsh comments come through, but we try our best to ignore them or calmly reply 😊 Thanks so much for all the yummy recommendations! We were just talking about how many dishes we still have left to try in the UK and these are all great additions to our list for upcoming trips 👍👍 Glad to have you along for the adventure!
I have watched 3 maybe 4 of your videos and I'm hooked. I'm from England, lived here all my life and you guys are teaching me things I never knew! Plus you are so respectful to our culture, food etc it makes me want to continue watching. Which is what I am about to do. Hope to see you back here soon
Sorry you went to a place where they valued one cover over some great publicity!
Golden Hind you failed lol
Glad you can appreciate simple english food which is so delicious 👍👍
Well done The Golden Hind for letting the side down! Jeez. I'll remember to avoid that place if I'm ever in London.
Really how rude that place is not a good way to keep the travel business is it
karen Louks it’s a fancy restaurant and it don’t make sense for them to give a table away for a fiver when they can make 150-300 on a table lool
At one time you could be thrown out of a restaurant in England if your trouser did not have a red stripe down its side or your shoes had a two tone design.
Friday night pre pandemic London
The batter is the same for Yorkshire pudding and the popovers that you have in the USA. For popovers you brush individual moulds with butter and put the batter in, for Yorkshire puddings we use either oil or the fat that comes from roasting beef.
If your back in Scotland particularly the north east you need to try fish and chips, haddock not cod, just landed from Peterhead first thing in the morning and straight onto you plate either deep fried (battered) or with breadcrumbs shallow fried with peas and tartare sauce. Also you have to try stovies (sto vees) with oatcakes and beetroot! x
My Mom came from Hartlepool, and Stovies was my fav dish. Mum was born in 1938.
0:45 Yorkshire pudding is the same stuff (batter) that fish is cooked in when you eat fish and chips. It's just that Yorkshire pudding is baked and fish batter is fried.
You can't beat a good old British roast dinner,yummy.xx
👌
Yorkshire pudding is basically a big popover -- a very simple batter baked at high heat, which causes the batter to produce a sort of foam -- light and airy.
when we had sunday roast at my grans the yorkshire pudding was a course on it's own with lashings of onion gravy. But we also have them cold with jam (jelly)
Best Sunday dinner ever is my mum's! But then I think everyone says that. Just for info - Yorkshire puddings was always served alone with gravy before the roast and veg. It was to fill you up so you didn't need too much meat which was expensive. Now it's all on the one plate.
That's London for you !!! come to Lancashire you will be made so welcome and order what you want with out getting kicked out !!! Great videos folks 😁😁😁
I really love you guys because you educate your countrymen that British food is actually good!!
I am so HUNGRY now! It all looked good.
Sorry! 😂
I am a Glasgow born American,went back in 1970 and stayed with my Grandmother for a couple of months.One thing about food,the eggs were more dense as was the bread.Loved the Harp Lager and the Guinness too.Fish and Chips.....the greatest!!!
The bubble and squeak was just plain wrong. The potatoes should be crushed (not mashed), mixed with cooked cabbage and quickly fried in bacon fat until caramelised. Never ever had it for breakfast either.
Love your videos by the way.
Kay Rogers also a fried egg makes it even better
it should be whatever potato is left over, it has become some gourmet crap, but it should be using up yesterdays veggies.
Bubble and squeak used to be common for Monday lunches, using all the meat and veg left over from Sunday roast.
The meat is eaten cold, usually with pickles, and the bubble and squeak may have cabbage, carrots, sprouts, mash or crushed potatoes etc and also any leftover gravy warmed up to go on top.
Kay Rogers
It is classic breakfast grub you ignorant fool. It’s should also not be quickly fried because good bubble needs to be frequently crushed into itself to create more crispy bits
Love visitors enjoying our culture
Can't believe they kicked you out,I would have been pissed off
We definitely were 😄 and honestly just really confused!
The Endless Adventure I definitely won't be going there next time I'm down London way lol
Yea well they've now got a bad rep off the back of that terrible move! I'm from London and I've never heard of such a load of old toot in my life
Not trying to be rude here but do you not think they heard their accents when they ordered or told the place what they were there for?
When he said "its fluffy and with the gravy , I think that how it's supposed to be" ... That is hownits supposed to be .. excellent video...
I'll remember The Golden Hind of places not to visit whilst in London. How rude
Eating establishments in London can be funny like that. In other areas of the UK we are far more friendlier and more willing to oblige.
It seems that management at the Golden Hind would welcome vloggers who help them market their service and product. Mindless to stick to a rule in such a case. BTW, I showed your video to a student of mine to che
As a 'Londoner' feel heart-warmed that you guys (and gal!) enjoyed our popular dishes so much! Sorry you didn't get the dessert/pudding experience you were looking for x
Glad to hear it! Hopefully we'll get to try more foods next time :D
Yorkie pudding my fav. Amazing. You'll love toad in the hole!!
Hope we can try it next time!
Lol I love toad in the hole but don't get you hopes up. Take that yorkshire pudding and add a couple of sausages to it and voila toad in the hole!
Lee Marsh no fair now I want toad in the hole and it is almost midnight lol.
Lee Marsmasgidasqha h

Bubble and squeak.....left over mashed potato combined with cabbage and fried in butter. Yum.
Next time you guys are in England I recommend trying out a traditional English dish called 'Chicken and mushroom pot noodle' which can be complimented by another traditional English dish 'Rustler deluxe with bacon and cheese'
This video has me drooling. Everything looks so good. Home cooking. Comfort food.
Your videos are always soooooo good!
Thanks!
Try the west Midlands best fish and chips in the country mayjours Bilston
Fab. The Yorkshire pudding was a frugal part of the meal historically. The volume of the pudding with the gravy would fill you up. My gran used to serve the pud with the gravy first, then would follow the veg, potatoes (tats) and meat with more gravy. The meat was minimal as the most expensive cut of the dinner. Left over Yorkshire pudding would be served cold for supper with jam (jelly)...
I wouldn't worry about having a toad in the hole, it's just Yorkshire pudding with a couple of bangers in it, both of which you have already sampled. Don't Americans have Sunday roasts - I guess not. Enjoyed the video.
I absolutely adore your videos and have been binging on them for a couple of weeks now, I only discovered them recently and love your honesty and appreciation. The Sunday roast looked delicious and took me back to my childhood when mum used to make Yorkshire puddings the size of the plate and put the rest of the meal on top with a pool of gravy on the Yorkshire pud and over the mash. Your's seemed upside down but still looked delicious. I search for your new videos every couple of days and hope you make it to Australia some day. Keep the videos coming, you're doing a fantastic job.
Ugh I freaking loveeeeeeeee Sunday roasttttttt ❤️ You can even get some delish veggie ones here in London. Cauliflower cheese = so good (and healthy. ish.)
Great to see Americans enjoying our food.
Best bubble and squeak is left overs from Christmas dinner. Has Brussel sprouts in it... Don't bother with toad in the hole...
Toad in the hole is basically sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding so you've tried the components of it already 🇬🇧
Go to Norwich Uk. Great place with cathedral, castle and near fabulous beaches
Yeah I will 2nd that. North Norfolk coast is a hidden gem. Good Caribbean restaurant in Norwich - Chef Denis!
I'll 3rd that!
Norfolk and East anglia in general i imagine is overlooked and underrated (I myself have never been)
Yes, Norwich is lovely and we're not that far from the cost either where you could try some proper Cromer crabs too!
high six!
It’s English pancake mix. We make pancakes out of the same recipe. In Yorkshire they eat the Yorkshire pudding with jelly, we call jam, fruit jam. Roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, is a typical Sunday lunch with veg and roast potatoes and mash.. we love Sunday lunches.lol
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Golden Hind can kiss my behind, how dare they throw out my baes!
These are British meals not just England. Watching u guys just makes me hungry lv your video
I think that you made same mistake all visitors to London make. And that is going to central London and expecting to find true London. It’s filled with tourists who are getting ripped off. If you want to meet real people and eat real food, go to south or north London.
Or better still, get out of that expensive, noisy, dirty, dangerous shithole completely.
There is so much better to see in the rest of England, (as well as the entire UK)
Or not London at all!
tryptychUK
The only people who think london is dangerous are people who don’t know it. It makes me laugh when people say it. I’ve lived in London my whole life and never been a victim of any crime. But that doesn’t suit your moronic ignorant narrative does it?
@@nick260682 I know London very well and lived in the East End for over 10 years.
It has become dirty, expensive and to some degree, dangerous. That's why I left.
@ImAlwaysRight YouKnow Nope. There are plenty of dodgy Brits there too.
In Yorkshire we have the puddings as a starter with onion gravy And then at the end we have them with a bit of jam/jello on as pudding. Try it. Trust me it's good.
Golden Hind...great ship. Crappy, uppity restaurant. Good to know
The very best bubble and squeak is made from mashed spuds and brussel sprouts, fried until it is slightly burned on all sides,
You do realise a lot of these foods are British, not English don't you? I'll give you the Yorkshire Puddings as English, but the rest are traditional across the British Isles.
I'm watching these videos one after the other and its like one continuous gigantic meal
Your 1st task with a huge Yorkshire is to break it down and soften it with gravy, mash etc.
Also that part of Oxford Circus you said was crowded, outside Benetton Shop, is the exact spot where I've had my most extreme claustrophobic experience ever.
Glad you're enjoying our fair and sometimes pleasant land.
Proper Bubble and Squeak is just cabbage and potato.
proper bubble and squeek is potato and any leftover veg in my opinion, limiting it to cabbage is MORE pretentious.
Not at all. It is whatever leftover veggies you have plus mashed potato. One of those is often cabbage but can just as easily be carrot, parsnip, peas, beans or onion.
@@sav7568 That is not bubble and squeak. Not quite sure what it is, but bubble and squeak is left over brassicas and spuds. It actually does not work properly with other ingredients. Proper B & S should be kind of like a fritter or rosti or a fishcake. Crispy on the outside, soft filling on the inside. You can't get that if you chuck in all manner of other veg. Better pureeing them and using them as a base for soup. Sorry if that is being 'pretentious! Lol
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 It all depends on what school your mother went to. Bubble and squeak is a Monday morning fry up made from Sunday's roast leftovers. Chop the vegetables, add a lump of butter to the frypan ( back in the day it was dripping) toss in the vegetables and mashed potato and fry Until brown on the bottom. Simples.
So glad you liked the British grub. The key to eat well in England is don't go cheap. You wouldn't fly to the states and just eat in Denny's. Looks like you chose well. There are amazing gastro-pubs in every village seek them out. A good guide is to ask if the chips are frozen or fresh cooked, if they're frozen go somewhere else.
Ok, won't be going to the Golden Hind 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Yeah sorry guys your in London not very accommodation down there a bit frosty......... you should come up to yorkshire you can have what you like!
I have never seen Yorkshire Pudding that shape, or piled on top of the meat! I'm a Yorkshire lass😮
The massive Yorkshire pudding and cheese in the cauliflower make this more a pub lunch, as opposed to a traditional Sunday lunch. The 'yorky' would usually be a lot smaller (that is more like choux pastry) and only with beef. Traditionally you would have apple sauce with pork (urgh!). I suspect that is why all the veg (which traditionally would be on the same plate) is served as a side - cus you can only get that bloody massive choux yorky on the plate!
someone in the UK please call the Golden Hind and tell them that they kicked out two youtube foodies with 28K subscribers for ordering dessert only
ron mccarty - They are being swamped by negative responses, they've shot themselves in the foot, unleashing a wave of bad publicity...
Ha, what goes around comes around
Heather Macdonald I
I guess this means 'the Golden Hind' can now call itself ... the Golden behind'!
Bangers and mash is my favourite......its called a banger from the popping the sausages make when frying in the pan
Another great upload! Now, could you imagine that same lack of service up north? ;)
Fair point!
Paul Moore yes
Yorkshire puddings are basically the same as pancake batter. But then how I do it is in a cupcake tin with a little bit of oil in each one. Then they puff up in the oven
What nationality were the people running the Golden Hinde as no one would be refused just pudding ten years ago. London has become so crass.
The websites says they are greek
I like that you include the meaning behind the names of the food! Now I really want bangers and mash/bubble and squeak now
The idea that British food is bad is a miserable lie and falsehood that has been propagated by the ignorant. I get mildly offended (like actually offended) when people say so. British food is, if anything, and if I had to reduce it to one word, HEARTY.
Devonian - A lot of it is very unhealthy...Take "Toad in the hole" for example, it's basically a pool of batter with fat laden sausages thrown in, drowned in a quart pound of lard generally served with potatoes, mashed with half a pound of butter, lovingly drowned in full fat milk with lashings of salt..! That load of fat & stodge makes tripe on toast dipped in dripping, (oh, another British delicacy) sound appetising.. ;)
What you call unhealthy I call hearty. Saturated fats aren't actually bad for you. Sausage fat, butter and lard are all good for you. Fat is essential for the diet. Its a modern myth that fat is bad for you, as long as your diet isn't all fatty foods and you exercise then eating foods like this is absolutely fine. In fact if you cut out such foods theres mounting evidence that it will damage your health.
SKYLANDBAK french cooking, which has a reputation for being some of the best around, is even less healthy. They put butter and cream in pretty much everything. Heard of confit? It's a french cooking method where meat is boiled slowly in oil, soaking up all the fat. Then there's all the pastries and cakes; eclairs, croissants, macaroons, etc. I know I'm replying to a near year old comment, but dammit I had to defend English cuisine!
Skylark: Is that how you make it? No wonder it's unhealthy!
@@philwilson4167 there is a lot more to French cuisine than what you describe unlike British cuisine which is pretty limited and not appealing...
Never would have thought of having Bubble And Squeak with it but, great idea.
