Pasties are a thing in Michigan, Northern Ohio.

[@kimthames2531]

Yes, true. I'm from Michigan. We have some shops specializing

[@thebritstry]

We will have to visit Northern Ohio and Michigan again and find some.

we need more British food in the US! their meat pastries and meat pies are so good. and the breakfasts, oh my

Thanks for yet another great show. And yes some of those items that you all were eating I would love to try myself.

Youre giving the british food a great promotion it all looks so good

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching! We thought we should show some British food, especially as we were visiting. 😀

[@kimthames2531]

We have that type of custard here in the US but typically it's made in the home. It would be called boiled custard used as a sauce. We also have baked custard. Typically you're not going to find either of these custards out in a restaurant. Possible But not likely.

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

I love Borough Market. It's one of my favorite places in London! I love the mushroom pie from the Ginger Pig. I love the stall that does the paella. There is a stall the does homemade mushroom pate. My heart goes pitter pat. The stall that does the fresh oysters...oh my! The fancy donuts are tasty. They didn't have Christmas pudding because I was there in summer. The Artisan breads were sooo good. I'd live there if I could. I'd never have to cook again.

[@thebritstry]

Your right there is so much choice! We would love to go back and try the international foods. Thanks for watching

Interesting to see you review favorites from your home country. Here in Wilmington, Delaware, we can get some British favorites at a place called Stoney’s British Pub. The owner is from England.

Thanks!

[@thebritstry]

WOW! Thank you so much for your generosity!!! This really means a lot and you have made us both smile. 😊😊

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

I Think the amount of "grease" is actually the butter in the pastry melting again due to it being layered and then kept warm causing it to remelt slightly in the puff pastry.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing this information! The meat was really tasty.

[@jeffhampton2767]

Everything looked wonderful! ❤❤❤

Thanks again for a great adventure… The food looked good but I do agree when things are greasy kind of takes away from the real quality of what it is… Happy Thanksgiving… Florida Girl 😊

[@george217]

Never been there, but looks like fun. I used to go the Camden Market when I visited London. Miss the old days...😢

[@thebritstry]

It was fun and the food was delicious 😋Camden market is also really good

[@katzablot599]

I was there in March and got a berry crumble from Humble Crumble. It was so amazing, I went to the one in Spitalfields the next day and got another. It’s weird that they didn’t want you to film, because lots of other people have. That’s how I found out about them.

[@thebritstry]

Yeah! The crumble was really good! We also found out about them through social media and everyone in the market was filming something 🤷‍♂️

[@lindadeters8685]

We have the Cornish Pasty Co n AZ. It was founded by a gentleman from Cornwall. Love them. ❤️❤️

[@thebritstry]

Wow! We might have to take a trip to try them😊

[@lindadeters8685]

@ There are several in Phoenix, 1 in Flagstaff, and 1 is coming to Tucson in 2025.

[@johnhelwig8745]

That pasty looks great. It almost looks like Swiss Steak wrapped in a pie crust. $9.50 is a fair price. I pay $10 for a beef pasties in my neighborhood near Detroit. As I mentioned before, Cornish immigrants came to Michigan to work the mines in the U.P. and brought their pasties with them. They are a staple here in Michigan, but we added a Yooper flair, by adding rutabaga. Calumet Michigan has a Pasty Fest mid August and May 24 is Michigan's Pasty Day. $20 seems steep for one piece of fish plus chips.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing such interesting info about pasties! It's amazing how food connects us to our history and culture. And I totally get what you mean about prices-sometimes it feels like we're paying for the experience too! That festival sounds interesting we will have to look up the details.

[@yugioht42]

New York has Fulton market. It’s not exactly open to the public as most people buy wholesale there but you could arrange something. Fulton market also is the nexus of every single bit of food within the boroughs of New York City. Every raw ingredient likely within New York City comes from Fulton market in some form or another. Even rare ingredients like doctor fish or Buddha’s hand is in the market somewhere.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for the idea! Sounds like a great place to visit.

[@erikam8621]

We were just at Borough Market a few days ago and had amazing sandwiches at the Black Pig, which were so nice! Then we picked up a McClaren's pudding to bring back home to Texas for Christmas! 😊

[@thebritstry]

Wow! Small world! Glad you had a great time!

[@yaowsers77]

So funny story about my experience at borough market. By the time I went there, I'd already been in London and Edinburgh for 5 days and my body was desperate for some fresh fruit. I went to the chocolate strawberry stand and asked them if the strawberries were sweet (March is not peak strawberry season but they looked really good). They said yes and have me one to try. Delicious! After I got some substantial food in me, I went back and ordered just a cup of strawberries, no chocolate. I can't tell you how shocked they were that I didn't want the chocolate! They even kept trying to give me a sample with chocolate... At Least three people who worked there. Haha I just wanted some strawberries😂. I also don't like the chocolate strawberry combo in general and I've also heard that the chocolate gets really thick rather quickly. Sometimes you just want some fresh fruit😁 I did have veggies in Edinburgh but there wasn't much of it in London. I really miss Gregg's steak bakes, but that paella at borough market was delicious. I also bought some pastries to have with tea in my hotel. Mini lobster tail pastries and this custard deal that might be German. I decided that sausage roll was way too big and now I'm glad I skipped it. I had one in Edinburgh so at least I tried a regular one and one from Gregg's. They're a bit heavy for my tummy. Lol and now I miss British food and can't wait to go back! That's weird that you got asked to stop filming. I can't tell you how many borough market videos I've watched.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always great to hear how others enjoy the market and We hope you get to indulge in more British treats next time! Yes we have also seen a lot of videos and literally everyone was filming something, we honored their request and were pretty full at that point anyway😊

[@tiffanymichaels2429]

Over 20 yrs ago my sister and 2 friends went to London. She said they were desperate for veggies on the trip. They were grateful for the parsley garnish on the plate, lol. I suspect they may have exaggerated but then I read your comment. Sometimes a salad and fresh fruit really hit the spot. I forget that being in such a big country we have a wide variety of produce due to the range of climates here. Go into a supermarket and have a wide range of leafy greens to choose from alone. Different tomatoes, apples, potatoes, peppers, grapes, squash, onions, etc. Not just one type but a variety of everything. I take it for granted. And I should eat more fruits and vegetables. Shame on me.

Omg, London looks great! I would love to spend a few weeks there exploring "The City." lol... By comparison, the vibe seems a lot more like Chicago or Philly then NYC, which it is most often compared to. Well as long as the food is good and the people are friendly, I think I'd enjoy myself. Got my fingers crossed that you will do a video for the food scene in Manchester. Cheers ♥ Oh, what's up with not being able to film in public?? You guys were being extremely respectful. Guess it's just different over there. I still want to go and maybe get a glimpse of the King or Prince William. ♥

[@briandelaney9710]

I find London much more manageable of a city to visit then NYC

You’re right with the vibe! And it is a great place to visit and experience. We did spend some time in Manchester😉 So watch this space🤗 Thank you for watching

[@kateg7298]

I would never have made it past the sausage rolls! The first thing I do in the UK is hit up Gregg's for a sausage roll. I'm a heathen though and put Dijon on the side. It all looks wonderful.

[@thebritstry]

We may have also hit Gregg’s while back in the UK!😉 we have never had a sausage roll with mustard, but I can see how this would work!

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

Also try it with English mustard or some multi whole grain mustard for a more sharp taste also. Not too much though :)

[@GxNi4234]

this video is so much more interesting than the title. the constant train, the year frame of its history, to be plain, you could of made this title a tad more appealing. I love the video, but I love the video way more than the title.

Thanks for the feedback! we appreciate the information and Thanks for watching

The fish and chips had me starving! I crave that!!!! ❤❤

[@thebritstry]

So good! Even though they were a little pricey

[@yugioht42]

I’ve heard of pastry overloading on the butter. That’s probably what happened the baker overloaded on the butter and it leaked through.

On my only trip to the UK, we went to a fish & chips shop in London. It was delicious. I really loved a side dish I had never heard of…mushy peas. Also delicious. I hope to go back someday. Loved it there.

If you don't mind, I have a question. I know in the states, food vendors of all sorts, will throw away their leftover food, for the day because they fear getting sued if someone gets sick.What do food vendors in the U.K. do with theirs? I really wish the U.S. would develop a process, like the, "Good Samaritan Act", for food...so many wouldn't go hungry.❤

[@thebritstry]

Unfortunately I think it is the same in the UK. It would be great if there was a way of distributing it

[@katinacarson-hunwi7297]

[@patricialavery8270]

I probably would try that sausage roll, they always look dry and tasteless in videos. I have made a Cornish pasty from Graham Kerr's slightly lighter recipe. The chips look very good, not into fish skin. No kidneys please, smelled that pie once ,it was a sampler size .I ate it but the smell lingers on. lol. Definitely would visit this place.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The sausage roll meat was delicious it was just a shame the pastry was greasy. It is a great way to spend a day

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

The (Steak and Kidney Pie) seems similar to a Bierock here in the US but i'm guessing a Bierock likely tastes better?

[@thebritstry]

It is different to the Bierocks we tried, the steak and kidney pie is encased in a short crust pastry.

[@chaserz4201]

Ok now to follow a trend of breaking "I can't do..." The Brits try oysters. Go on then. 🤣

Lol Brits trying their own food, y'all are a riot! Would like to have a beer or pint to you Brits with y'all. Y'all never waffle always cracking. That was funny you guys said you when light on the salt for the fish and chips. British food I heard is mostly unseasoned.

[@thebritstry]

[@HDCalame]

Historically, a peat pie, like your steak and kidney pie, the pastry was not intended to be eaten. It served as you bowl. the contents were eaten and the pastry was tossed.

To your point about the sausage roll... 'more' in this case is not better. All that minced pork carries a LOT of fat and it has to go somewhere while it is baking. Your fingers were evidence of where the juices went...into the pastry! Be safe...Take care!

[@thebritstry]

This is very true, the grease from the sausage meat leaked into the pastry!

I like steak & kidney pie. If it were widely available. I might have it every 2 or 3 months. So it wouldn't replace my faves. I have heard of this camera shyness in many countries. So you suppose people are afraid of being sued? Is there strong privacy laws in London? So they specifically said you couldn't film each other in their market? Weird . . .
