Lovely video, but you ate the Yorkshire pudding wrong. It's supposed to be covered in gravy and eaten with a knife and fork to mop up the gravy and eaten with a bit of everything - it's not a bread roll.

[@lawrenceglaister4364]

The Black Pudding is now rated as a super food because of its nutrients . The darker the tea the stronger it is , just add extra milk ( the very strong tea is nicknamed as builders tea ) Don't forget to add salt and pepper to suite your taste and you can with your breakfast use your knife and fork to eat the toast and fried bread along with other ingredients at the same time and of course when eating Yorkshire pudding with your Sunday Roast the knife and fork is great so you don't drip the gravy plus you can add another ingredients or two .

[@jessgunn6639]

Best fried bread is fried on a pan after you take out the bacon/rashers!

You need about an inch of butter on a crumpet. If the butter isn't leaking through the bottom then you need more.

[@BangtanPurple7of7]

Not too much though! Ah; I haven't had a crumpet for about three weeks I must get some🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@TomGodson95]

exactly! I prefer my crumpet to be brown on top too for a nice crunch

[@suzy8109]

I love my crumpets toasted and drizzled with honey.

And jam!

[@nidh1109]

Yes more butter and let it melt all the way through, then I do like something sweet on top or even Marmite.

Great selection of british classics. Alot of british dishes tend to be fairly simple foods, without alot of fancy ingredients. Staple, affordable basics cooked well. In the winter it's dark by 3.30 and thats when these really sing. Comfort food should stick to the ribs and make you feel warm and cosy. Its a hug on a plate 🤗.

We don't generally have steak with our Sunday roast. It's either roast beef, roast lamb, roast pork or chicken

We're a small nation surrounded by the sea. I adore seafood of all kinds (although, sadly, many of my fellow Brits do not seem to share may passion!) There is amazing seafood to be had all around our coast - oysters, mussels, cockles and crab to name a few. Locally caught fish, often only a few hours old can be eaten in many places, if you know where to look (of course Google will help you with that).

You will find sausages are regional in the UK, lincolnshire style sausages are more herby where as cumberland style sausages tend to have more spice.

[@georgedyson9754]

Living in Canada these days, I miss British sausages. I find the North American style nothing more than dreadful and sweet (Honey/Garlic for example), so I have started making my own!

[@spacechannelfiver]

The similarities between chip shop curry and japanese curry are because the Royal Navy would have this kind of curry as part of their on board stores, and traded it for other supplies when in port in Japan.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Great insight! Thank you 🤙🏼

[@andrewkemp2238]

When?

[@spacechannelfiver]

Commander Matthew Perry of the US Navy forcibly opened Japan to trade in 1854 using gunboat diplomacy, this was a one of the triggers for the Meiji restoration. Initially it was with the US, but other Western Naval powers soon established trade and British style curry powder was introduced sometime in the 1870s.

[@llm-reacts]

Japanese curry was apparently based on British curry during the Meiji era. And katsu curry has in recent years been adopted as a British favourite

[@captvimes]

wow you really did your research, hash browns are becoming popular in English breakfasts but are American, Amanda went with bubble which is very traditional and hard to find now. These breakfasts were served for working men in cafes often called greasy spoons to fuel them for the working day. Usually would come with breakfast or builders tea which is less fancy but very tasty. For a next try , dont go for cod for fish and chips Haddock is my favourite and also Huss and try from a seaside town as they are more likely fresher fish and traditional than in London they dont have to be northern can also be southern towns too although the place you chose in London looked good maybe a bit more fancy than we go for. I only put the malt vinegar on the chips. Also there are a lot more british indian dishes to try but you did go for the most popular one, so rare to find someone who realises that indian food is here is british food. My favourites are Rogan Josh and Jalfrezi indian dishes are often spelt slightly differently on menus depending on the chefs origins much like the spelling of kebab and donor changes for regions for example. To experience a proper sunday roast you need to find a local to invite you to a traditional sunday roast as we all pride ourselves in our versions and is way different to a restaurant and everybodys mum will make it differently.

We try to keep open minds and do research about the cultures cuisine! Thank you for the kindness and insights into your foods!

[@MarkmanOTW]

A well presented selection of British food. Pleased to see you found some good examples and showcased some quality dishes. As a Brit, it's nice to see that you've done your research and showing our food in it's true light. Having eaten in quite a few of the places featured and familiar with all the dishes and foods, I can confirm you picked well. Just a tip - whenever you have food in the UK with multiple dishes (British or any other cuisine) the default way of eating is put something of everything on the plate and eat together. I've noticed many Americans taste each item on it's own and pick at each item individually, therefore don't always get the best tasting experience.

Bubble and Squeak is traditionally made from the left over mashed potato and cabbage from the Sunday roast. Its description is onomatopoeic in that when it is in the frying pan the mash potato puffs up and kind of bubbles and it also squeaks when the bubbles burst.

Fried bread aka a Fried Slice is very traditional but you don't see it everywhere anymore just because it's seen as unhealthy, I won't have a fried breakfast with toast, it's a fried slice or nothing as it's so delicious!

Great video, growing up we'd always have bubble and squeak for tea (our main evening meal) on a Monday using the leftovers from our Sunday roast the day before, my Mum would always cook too much on purpose so there were plenty of leftovers, it was never neat and tidy and fancy like in a restaurant either, she'd just make a huge frying pan of it and it would be all knobbly and misshapen with loads of brown crusty bits, and we'd have it with gammon and runny fried eggs, so delicious!!!

Lovely video. Fish & chips--There's nothing quite like eating cod and chips out of the paper from a chippie at the seaside while sitting on the sea wall on a warm Summer day, a gentle sea breeze blowing and the sound of waves and seagulls. Crumpets--We called them pikelets growing up where we live. We used to have a coal fire and in the Winter would toast them on the fire on a toasting fork, then lashings of salted butter. So good on cold mornings.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

That pikelets sounds amazing!🤤

[@paulm2467]

Pikelets are a thinner version of crumpets where I come from, they aren’t as doughy as some crumpets. I prefer the cheapest, thinnest supermarket crumpets, they toast better, as others have already mentioned the butter should be soaking through the crumpets.

Jam Roly Poly is not made with sponge cake but suet pastry. Also the Steak and Kidney pudding is also made with suet pastry. Suet is made from the fat from around the kidneys of pigs or beef but nowadays you can get vegetarian suet which is a little lighter in texture. Suet pastry is made with flour, suet, water and salt then normally steamed.

Aloha, A&F . . . pleased to see that you re both enjoying yourselves on your visit, and the food here so much . . . It's quite normal to see different ingredients used, as well as different types of food available in each country of the UK - not to mention every county in the UK . . . As the more local you are to each county, you will usually find that the produce used will be more local to the area - as in the meats, fish, and the vegetables being used in them . . . Same with the 800+ varieties of cheese we have here, as almost every county will have its own different makes or options, too . . . A lot of foods are also well-known for only being eaten more in a specific area of the UK . . . Fish (of any type) & Chips, or anything like that, crab cakes, etc, are almost always better when you get them from a coastal "Chippy", as the fish and shellfish come straight from the harbour next to them in most instances . . . Crumpets have options, too - just butter on, honey on, jam on, some will even put Marmite on - as I also do occasionally - but my own preference is usually cheese and melt it under the grill - (not from the square shop-bought packs of them like the Kraft ones though - from the real cheeses, from the mild to the extra mature choices that we have!) . .. Enjoyed watching you both - so I hope you will still enjoy it all a lot more and longer yet . . .

Excellent video. Your honesty and openness towards the food you tried is refreshing. One thing though, London has its own specialties and, unlike many food reviewers, you do go around the regions. First class. Btw - that jam roly poly wasn’t - it was a jam sponge. Roly poly is made with a suet pastry and is very, very rare. It’s also served with custard. The Sunday Roast was quite unusual - not normal for the meat to be steak. Yes, you should have put lots of gravy on your Yorkshire pudding. The sticky toffee pudding was very unusual - upmarket, not typical. Try Sunday Roast in a Yorkshire pub - much better. Almost the definitive British food guide.

The steak and kidney pudding is made with suet shredded beef fat , and then its steamed so is soft and stodgy.

I don't know how common this is, but most times I've had fried bread it was shallow fried, and only on one side. I love the contrasting textures between the crisp side and the soft side. Also it would probably have been fried in the same oil as the sausages and bacon, absorbing all those meaty flavours.

Great to see how much research you did unlike other first timers who don’t understand how things should be done. The one thing that was slightly wrong is that Jam Roly Poly should always be eaten with CUSTARD rather than ice cream ; custard is eaten with most British desserts, very popular , especially with Spotted Dick and apple crumble and apple pie ( which was invented over 500 years ago in the UK, not in the US) !!

Depending where you are in the country you can get various accompanying sauces for your chips. Curry sauce, Gravy, Red (ketchup) sauce Brown sauce Fruity sauce (a sweet brown sauce rather than a vinegar one) Mayonnaise, Garlic Mayonnaise etc etc.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Wish we got to try them all🤤🤤🤤

[@SiaD777]

Malt vinegar is for the chips! Forget gravy and mushy peas, for Southeners fish and chip shop style chips are always paired with just malt vinegar and salt - THE BEST!!! 👍

[@nealgrimes4382]

As a Northerner absolutely don't forget the Mushy Peas and Gravy, though i probably wouldn't have Gravy wit Fish and Chips.

Love your British Vlog…especially all the traditional English food .. Safe Travel..Aloha form the Bay Area..!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Derek🤙🏼 Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@007007gf]

I'm glad that you tried the typical English food. You have to try it. I have not tried the roly poly dessert. I hope you ate more Indian food. I really enjoyed it when I was there. Looking forward to part 2.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Stay tuned! Mahalo! 🤙

Stumbled across Regency cafe as it was near our hotel...love the simple traditional english breakfast and the old school vibe

[@ericinouye803]

My wife and I loved this video! You guys looked great! Mmmahalo!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Eric🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 so glad you guys enjoyed this one!

[@snowysnowyriver]

Bravo to both of you!! Thank you for trying real British food, including the dishes that made their home here when people came to live here from overseas. Have to say I held my breath when you tried Marmite. That amount of Marmite goes over a whole slice of toast! 😊 You are correct that tea is taken seriously here. But that tea is really weak compared to how most Brits drink it at home. The average cuppa is about 5 shades darker. The Steak & Kidney Pudding is made with suet pastry which is designed to be boiled or steamed. Your Steak Pie at the chippy was puff pastry.

[@Mwoods2272]

The bad thing about traveling and experiencing the food is that there are so many foods to try so you don't want to eat a dish multiple times even when if it's delicious. See you are going to Bourgh Market next, I hope you had the Humble Crumble.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So true! We wish we had more time to try more🤤 can’t wait to show our borough market foodie adventure!🤙🏻

[@yazmac9294]

Your reviews are great, I enjoyed how you linked everything back to flavours and textures that you know, that’s how I describe new food too ☺️ My only tip would be that when eating British food try to get a bite of everything on your fork! It can be tricky, especially with an English Breakfast, but having a taste of everything is how our meals are usually enjoyed.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the tip!

[@ronturner9850]

Never known a pie being turned over…the crusty top is part of the comfort. Fork and spoon was the traditional way of eating it where I grew up (Stratford) and you have to add (chilli) vinegar and white pepper to season the whole thing. It looked superb!

[@MargaretDean-hp4rm]

Love your channel. Dishoom is absolutely amazing, did you try their chai tea and breakfast? Sally Lunn's bun taste much better when it is toasted, especially with their brandy butter (unfortunately, it is only available around Christmas time). Toast the bun with butter or clotted cream is heavenly The British way of making their tea is to pour in milk or cream first, then sugar and finally pouring in the tea so that you don't have to stir at all.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Thanks for the tips! We're learning so much! Mahalo🤙🏼

[@Diane-s5g]

Every Sunday, roast beast and Yorkshire pudd, with roasted potatoes and veg. And and gravy, poured into the Yorkshire pudding. Our family emigrated to Canada from Kent, England.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Sounds amazing🤤🤤🤤

[@tonydaddario4706]

Nice reviews guys, you ate well and in some very nice places. That jam roly-poly was probably made as steamed suet pastry which is why it's quite dense and very moist.

[@lizg5574]

Sausage rolls are sausage meat (NO casing) with puff or flaky pastry, not croissant dough - totally different way of lamination to make the layers and often salty, not sweet. A few of the things you chose are very, very region specific. The Bath Buns, for example, and the pie, mash and liquor - they are seldom seen outside London, so I wouldn't necessarily say they were "must try" foods. You really need to try regional foods, like going into Wales and eating larva bread, Scotland for Haggis and Cullen Skink, down to Cornwall for Pasties and Stargazey Pie, Bedfordshire for a Clanger, Lancashire for Hot Pot. And Bubble and Squeak is NOT a typical breakfast food, though it can be added then. It's more often eaten at other times - when first invented it was eaten on Monday to use the left-overs from a Sunday roast, usually around mid-day. And your Sunday roast was a theme, not a true roast. We don't eat steak as a roast meat - we have joints of meat, roasted slowly to the perfect level of done-ness, sliced thinly, covering a third of the plate! Sticky toffee pudding is a recently invented thing - not truly traditional. Far more traditional is a treacle tart, spotted dick, Bakewell pudding, even a sherry trifle. The invention of apple pie was from the UK, too! And Rhubarb crumble is amazing - most crumbles are, especially served with custard! BUT - your appreciation of all you tried was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for being open to trying some of the things many visitors shy away from and refuse to consider - marmite and black pudding being the most frequent! You'll have to make a return visit and try some of the things I've mentioned and recommendations from other viewers, too!

[@lindamcgregor4080]

I came here to say about the ",roast". Has to be a joint. I cook traditional roasts in my adopted country, Australia 🦘🇦🇺

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the insight and tips! We loved our culinary experience and we hope to be back someday to try more!

[@ErinBeck-u8y]

Thank you! It's like you're in my brain!😂

[@arnoldarnold4944]

You obviously know a lot about food.Thank you for the video

[@jimmaloney3738]

Really impressed with you two. You gave everything a go! Well done, great video 👍

[@RSER808]

Aloha, Amanda & Felix...Wow, jam packed new foodie episode. Amanda's bucket list finally revealed! Love it - and a great job you two! You both looked so classy. The clothing was spiffy and matched your vacation as it also seemed a bit chilly. The food looked so good, and I would love to try everything you both ate. I bet there was so much more that you wanted to eat but could not fit it in. With that Fish & Chips I noticed the bottled COKE ZERO. Felix made me so hungry LOL. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure & have a great day Amanda & Felix. You're the best.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Rick 🤙🏻 we definitely wished we had more time to eat everything and more! Also, UK is a big fan of Coke Zero! It was amazing🤩 lol

[@rickmiller8614]

My son loves a good English breakfast so I forwarded this vlog. The fish and chips looked delicious and I need to try that dipping fry sauce. Thanks for sharing your honeymoon experiences.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Rick 🤙🏻 for sure the chippy sauce was bomb 🤤👌🏼

[@PatriciaNicely-hu5uh]

Thanks!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Patricia for continuing to support us🩷🩷🩷

[@spaceace4220]

You guys have come a long way! This episode impressed me, very sophisticated, but also so down to earth. You made the food look so delicious, good job!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the kind words 🤙🏼

[@davidking1968]

The pastry on the bottom of the pie is undercooked. Pue and mash is very different in London because they use liquor instead of gravy. You need to try pie and mash elsewhere because it is very different.

[@davidking1968]

Don't you know what gravy is?? They are not called pot pies, they are PIES or Meat pies

[@StalwartShinobi]

Sunday Roast, Shepherds Pie, Full English, and Fish and Chips are the best comfort meals ever. Gotta have black pudding on a full English!

[@tsn_life8]

Lots of interesting grinds!😊👌

[@sandrajohnnewmanwarnock2232]

I’m impressed by you guys trying everything. I don’t think of Americans getting outside of their comfort zone so readily. Thank you for trying everything - when my kids were small I used to say - just try it, you don’t have to like it but can’t say you don’t like it before you try it!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Wow what an amazing compliment 🥰 much mahaloz for your kind words!🤙🏻

[@suzy8109]

You are such an adorable couple. Watching you enjoy your food is heart-warming. Thank you for giving our British food a seal of approval (because it used to get such a bad press). New subbie ❤
