Emmy Eats the UK part 7 -- Patum Peperium & Parma Violets

[@suelane1969]

I'm not sure why I find an American lady eating British food, condiments and sweets so fascinating but I do. It's just interesting watching someone try foods for the first time that we just take for granted. Thanks for the video.

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I hope you don't mind my intrusion, Susan Lane. I saw your interest & paused to ask if you have seen Emmy's other sampling videos? She has many of them.

[@LaynieFingers]

My husband is so silly, he told me that he finds your voice lovely and soothing to listen to. Then he said, "She should do KZbin videos!" Silly man!

[@dominiquechaos7189]

I find that too. Idk y

[@88franko]

Well, he ain't lying.

[@misschillin1]

If my husband said that he found another woman's voice soothing and lovely , id be quite pissed off tbh. sheesh man

[@emmymade]

Laynie Fingers hahaha :D

[@MrCrismystery]

misschillin1 Well then you must be extremely insecure. You should work on your self confidence.

[@emmymade]

For those interested GalwayChickx ***** Black01Fire in my electric kettle, I got it as a Christmas present (after our old one died - don't buy an Oster!) and it's a Cuisinart CPK-17. It's pricey, but we're planning on it lasting ages.

[@troberts1]

I have the same kettle. It's very good and mine has lasted several years now and I don't think it's anywhere near dying.

[@justmeish1997]

Hi, I am a huge fan of your videos and japan/japanese culture and things... i was wondering what japanese thing to say before eating and what it means... i here you say it a lot but being almost deaf its hard for me to hear exactly what you say xx lots of love from Tamara from Selby, North Yorkshire, England xx

[@juliettecpinsky]

Hi Emmy, what about the knives, forks, and spoons we see in your videos? I love the handles on them.

[@SketchMexJapan]

***** before eating she says "itadakimasu" :)

[@justmeish1997]

thanks

[@sjtherese6011]

Emmy, I love your vocabulary/word choices haha. I just love everything about your channel.

[@freezinfeet]

the fact you liked a lot of the english food sent amazed me, most other people dont like it, and certain stuff like marmite is half & half on people liking them. they're slogan is you either love it, or hate it, because there is no its okay. and no one ever likes the parma violets- they're like the candy that always get left at the bottom of the bag

[@SurelynotTHErose]

They're my absolute favourite sweets!

[@ChristopherStendeck]

I love Parma Violets, but it's an acquired taste. Many people think they "taste like perfume".

[@101frustrations]

I love Parma Violets. Always have. Even as a child they were a favourite.

[@freezinfeet]

obviously they are more liked than i thought

[@sophiefoster1311]

i adore PVs - i even have a Parma Violet Air Freshner in my car :')

[@Hoppo_UK]

My nephew pointed me to your channel today. Now after more than 20 videos, I've subscribed. Your friendly, mature manner, along with your honesty, has me hooked. Now back to more of your videos. :-)

[@emmymade]

HopoUK Yay! Thanks for watching. :)

[@kevandavies8651]

I love Parma Violets. Each to their own.

[@Coolharryo2]

I've got to stop watching these now. It's getting contagious. I think I should go out and by a fudge and forget about this whole thing. Seriously though, I'm addicted to these videos- not sure why. Probably because Emmy has such a mature personality in comparison to other You Tubers. Keep up the good work, Emmy! You've earned a new subscriber!

[@emmymade]

Harry O Welcome aboard. :D

[@bellacarroll6289]

I love the way you describe each thing you eat or drink keep up the good work😊

[@jenniferstrain5625]

Than you Mr. H for sharing your goodies!!! Always a pleasure to watch!!

[@MrHws5mp]

You're welcome! :-)

[@3rdDimensionFox]

Coleman’s mustard on a salami sandwich with cheddar is heaven. Just a lil mustard though! Breads gotta be buttered to! Nom nom nom nom!!!!

[@Akendrick945]

HP sauce is flavoured with tamarind to remind returning British soldiers of the Indian food they tasted during the Colonial era :)

[@kendon81]

Scouse is an English version of Irish Stew, there is a large population of Irish in Liverpool as it was one of the English ports where most of the Irish immigrants during the Potato famine went, Stew and coddle (a sausage stew both white (Clear) and Brown (with some sort of beef stock or beef soup mix added) were a staple of the poor working class.

[@MrHws5mp]

It's also been suggested that "lob scouse" originally came from sailors from the Baltic or Scandinavia, since there are some similar words for similar dishes in those countries. To be honest, I think a stew of vegetables and cheap cuts of meat is pretty universal poor man's food in much of the world.

[@XWoodbineX]

YAY TEA!! I live off tea. I prefer Typhoo. Apparently Captain Scott when he went to conquer the Antarctic had crates of it shipped out there for the team. Scientists/explorers discovered some in the hut that he and his expedition had sheltered in 100 years later and they did a campaign recently, where all the proceeds from Typhoo went to help preserve the hut for future explorers and history. That was me going WAY off topic and giving everyone a history lesson. Sorry!

[@MrHws5mp]

Nothing wrong with a history lesson: cheers!

[@hellrizerA]

Ringtons tea is the best and it's from the north east of England

[@sunnie734]

Typhoo is trash. It's like soil in water.

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Brits cannot live without tea!

[@paulthetallsigma1552]

Emmy you have to be the most polite eater of foods that I have ever seen...

[@MissAstrid17]

I love how positive you always are about everything you taste, even when it's something you don't like as much :) such a sweetie!

[@Jess1ekins]

I'm from the UK, have lived here all my life and never even heard of the first one haha! x

[@Jess1ekins]

Also, Caramac is my favourite! :-D

[@MrHws5mp]

It used to be a "posh" thing but you can get it in most supermarkets now. I got that one from Sainsbury's .

[@Jess1ekins]

Thanks for clearing that one up. Are you Mr.H? :-)

[@MrHws5mp]

Jessie May Yep. :-)

[@Paul2377]

I've never heard of Gentlemans Relish, nor have I seen the scouse stew! I assume it's more popular in the north west? Boosts are great - so I'm glad she liked those. Parma Violets are horrible!

[@dottiespottie9779]

I really enjoy your videos. Your voice is so soothing and it's so easy to tell if you like or dislike something; it immediately shows on your face, it's so fun to watch.

[@crisibella3461]

Emmy u are an awesome lady your cheerful adorableness makes these taste tests of the world all the better!! Some videos alike r so boring. You cheer up a whack day with your intelligent enthusiasm keep up ur amazing work!!!

[@abarairukia]

I think it's the first time she does not like something she eats! I love her videos because she's so open to new flavors and different things! :)

[@TheDebMac]

Love that you tasted Scouse and Yorkshire tea :-) my family are originally from Liverpool, so I ate Scouse a lot. I loved it when it "lobbed" or the potatoes went too soft and fell to pieces in the gravy....mmmm. Wasn't sure why you put the Scouse on your toast, but then I remembered my grandad used to put a piece of bread in the bottom of his stew boil to soak up the gravy :-) I now live in York, in Yorkshire, so it was great to see both my homes represented :-) It's funny watching someone try food that is so normal for me. You do a great job in describing things :-) Love from the UK x

[@12334Luver4321]

I'm from the North East of England and in my town we pronounce it "Nest-lay" and Caramacs have a real nostalgic sense for me (even though I'm only 16) but as a young child I used to buy one after going swimming and it's great to see the reaction of people who aren't used to the foods we have here. I have a couple of American friends who can't get their head around some of the things I have in my everyday life and it's incredible. I also loved your MRE videos :)

[@zaphodbeeblebrox6627]

The first American with an curious/unbiased, but educated palette . You are entitled to dislike somethings, but having adult tastebuds obviously helps. Well done. 👍🏻

[@hallm3lbp]

Hahaha I’m so glad you reacted that way to Parma Violets 😂 it was one of the sweets we got as kids that nobody wanted 🤣

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Parma Violets was also the name of a perfume, worn by old ladies! My grandma wore it. It smelled just like the sweets taste. I love them but most people have your reaction to them. Your face said it all!

[@marzipanthequeen]

I feel the exact same way about trying things! Every one of your videos is such a delight - I love the way you approach these goods with such wonder. It's fun to share these tasting adventures with you. Also yes I couldn't imagine not having a good electric kettle in the house.

[@disaidra]

I love parma violets, but then I grew up eating them so it might be an acquired taste. Bournville old jamaican is one of my mom's favourites, and they sold it when she was little.

[@TheHarlequinade]

Boost is my FAVOURITE chocolate bar, glad you liked it!!!

[@SvenTviking]

If you put scrambled eggs on the patum peperium toast, it makes “Scotch Woodcock”.

[@hermankatnip]

HP sauce used to be made in Birmingham with its large tower with HP logo on it a prominent feature of Birmingham. It had a pipe that run from one side of the Aston expressway that supplied the malt vinegar for the HP factory on the other side. It was sold by Midlands Vinegar Company to Imperial Tobacco then sold to Danone and then finally ended up owned by Heinz who controversially moved production to Heinz' Netherlands factory, despite the fact that the UK is the only place who buys the stuff

[@Luminara1981]

i thought this lady would like everything to ever pass her lips until she come across..... the parma violet! lol she took on marmite like a champ! personally i adore parma violets and marmite is like breathing, i just have to have it! but parma violets deserve a revisit, the taste is strange and incomparable to anything else so a second sample is essential!

[@malakcookie33]

im in the uk right now visiting and i havent had a chance to explore the supermarkets but this is a great way to see whats good and whats interesting ,cant wait !

[@benc505]

My good friend sent me a Christmas package from London that included both Marmite, which I was already a fan of, and new-to-me Gentleman’s relish! Love them both now - YUM!

[@loriwoodard9441]

Always love the ending of your videos where you do silly stuff 😂 Mr. H seems like a nice gentleman 😍

[@dinaatjuh]

I love your outlook on life. "At least I tried it." Awesome :D - Happy New Year Emmy love, good wishes and health for you and your family

[@tehpickle1250]

HP is amazing with bacon sandwiches or cheese on toast. Word to the wise ;)

[@sandrastreifel6452]

TehPickle: It’s a great sauce with steak, too.

[@ceejay5914]

Uncle Joe's! I'm from Wigan and when the factory are making the sweeties, the whole town smells like peppermint and caramel, it's wonderful. So nice to see you eating some foods from the north of England 😊

[@maddie591316]

Hahahahah her reaction to the spicy mustard oozing out of the tube was hilarious

[@IvyWhiskeyDram]

I say Nestlé like Nest-ley (the newer way) but my parents say Nestlé like Nestles. I guess its changed as we have become more open to other cultures and wanting to say things correctly. Where as before it was probably said how they read it.

[@ChristopherStendeck]

Harold Smith Yes, my mum says "Nessuls" and ridicules me for saying "Nestlay", but it's a Swiss company with a Swiss name and I would like to say it correctly. My mum never had the benefit of hearing it, and like you say, when the first UK ads surfaced, they pandered to our pronunciation, further bedding it in. But I'm more worldly than my 1950's mum and can't bear to mispronounce foreign names if I can help it. I won't be patronised by Nestlé, so will pronounce it as they REALLY do! ;) Oh yeah, and I have also heard they are the devil incarnate.

[@LorraineVirginie]

Wow I've never even heard the Nestles pronunciation that sounds horribly wrong to me haha. Isn't it supposed to be a French word? Even saying "Nest-leeeee" is wrong in that sense, should be "Ness-lay" in proper French.

[@ChristopherStendeck]

LorraineVirginie Ha yes, it most definitely is "horribly wrong"! But this inability, or sometimes, bloody-minded refusal, to pronounce foreign words and names is rather indicative of my parents' generation (people born in or before the 1950s). Bless them, they were raised in a different time, when everything and everyone was English, and they're just not very worldly because of that. My mum still can't pronounce any foreign word, no matter how simple, or for that matter, understand anyone with a foreign accent. It's a little embarrassing at times, but she swears she can't help it.

[@MrHws5mp]

LorraineVirginie Ozzpot has nailed it pretty well there. There are a few other factors: 1) Accents over letters are unknown in English and the very concept of an extra mark to change how you pronounce a letter is often seen as "strange, foreign and unneccessary", so unless a Briton has actually learnt French, they tend to just ignore the accent and pronounce it according to English rules. 2) It used to be the case that speaking French was hallmark of the educated and/or upper class (something which goes back to the Norman Conquest, of course), so people who wanted to seem smarter or better than their peers would drop odd French words into their conversation to demonstrate how "sophisticated" they were. Of course many of those peers reacted badly and condemned the practice as pretentious, to the point where it became a cliché (irony intended) and easy to parody. Thus when "good old Nestles" switched to "Nestlé", it got dismissed as a similar pretention, even though it was simply correct, n'est pas? ;-) 3) I think anybody struggles to hear their own language pronounced in an accent they've not been exposed to much. My old mum couldn't understand a strong Scottish accent, let alone a truly foreign one, and I struggle to understand Indians sometimes even though I've dealt with them quite a bit. Even relatively familiar "American" can still catch me out. I was watching a vid yesterday about electronics and the guy kept saying he'd "soddered" this and "soddered" that. Took me ages to realise that he meant "soldered". We sound the "l" in Britain, so it's "soul-derred" but Yanks seem to treat it as silent for some reason.

[@LorraineVirginie]

Ozzpot Lol.

[@Leecher4711]

I really love your videos. Its great to watch you try out all them different snacks and see how you appreciate all those different products from who knows how many countries. Coming from Germany I would really love to send you some more treats to try out, but you have already gotten so many and such a variety that the only things I could think of would be dishes you could hardly send via package, like traditional German dishes. I am thinking of some soul food for winter time from northern Germany where I am coming from: Green cabbage with bregenwurst. ... But its nothing you could send like that and the ready-to-go packages that are available (not sure whether you could send them) would give you the wrong impression of that dish, like in so many other cases ... that is a shame, Im afraid you got to try out those things when you actually happen to spend a holiday in Germany. Until then I really appreciate to watch you and your videos and learn a lot of interesting things about treats from all over the world through you! ありがとうございます

[@DelftInBeeld]

I have not been watching youtube through this channel but I am happy that they are still sending you truckloads of treats :P

[@KBDProductionsTV]

I love HP Sauce! P.S. I love the angles on that room :D

[@sandrastreifel6452]

KBDProductionsTV: We ate more HP Sauce than Heinz Ketchup, growing up in Vancouver!

[@HeavenlyZanny]

In Denmark we eat HP sauce with "biksemad" - which more or less is onion fried in butter with the leftover potatoes and meat from last night cut into squares - also often also some lunch leftovers like ham. In the old days you made it to eat up all the food so it would not spoil :) And then you would eat it with ketchup and HP sauce :) It tastes great!

[@HeavenlyZanny]

Uh I forgot a fried egg as well... it is very important to put a fried egg on top :) And have pickled beetroots as a side dish :)

[@hannahr6768]

That sounds bloody amazing!

[@SnowdropWood]

Parma Violets are very divisive in England! Even moreso than Marmite. People either love them or hate them. I love them, so I usually get handed them whenever there's a mixed bag of sweets going around, hehe. I've never heard anyone pronounce it 'Nessles'! Perhaps that's an older generation thing. I'm 29 and all my peers in school pronounced it the usual way.

[@donaldwycoff4154]

Many thanks! You showed me how to open the can of relish. It never occured to me that I need only remove the label. And for the record: delicious!

[@pearlfisher2813]

I enjoyed watching that. Furthermore, you clearly possess a discerning palate because you loved the Patums Peperium.

[@Superphilman2]

Mr.H Knows his stuff. Clearly a northern Legend. I'm from Wigan, and I pass the uncle joe's mint ball factory all the time. It's on the end of a row of houses, and the whole road smells of aniseed when they're making their sweets.

[@EmNgBa]

Has anyone seen my torch? Bahahaha! This is a wonderful video! I'm really excited about your videos because living in America you don't see many of the different foods and these videos help! 😃

[@kattrablake7008]

8:38 vinegar actually shuts down the enzyme in mustard that makes it hot so when the vinegar is added and how much determine how spicy mustard is

[@ekidd79]

love your videos and reactions to all the different food stuffs! always entertaining. Growing up in 80's Britain, with a selection of classic 'penny' sweets, I always found Parma Violets to be like eating chalky flowers and would instead fork out the extra 5p for Refreshers...fizzy yumminess ;-) Caramac bars went through such a popular spell when I was in Secondary school in the 90's, that an entire vending machine in the cafeteria was dedicated to them (this was probably a bad idea...because...sugar....and was way before the 'we must make school lunches healthier' phase)

[@jobybondmusic]

Emmy, your meant to use hp source on sea side fish and chips and it is so good

[@tozzilil]

Jobylovesgaga no way! With a fry up maybe or a bacon sandwich but fish and chips? Hell no

[@DeeEll86442]

Hi Emmy, you mentioned being lactose intolerant so you don't put milk in your tea anymore. I have the same issue so I tried adding the almond milk that has the hint of honey or the one with vanilla. I found that both of these are wonderful in tea, especially earl grey tea. It's really wonderful because not only is it creamy but it's slightly sweet with the hint of almond. I really think you'll like it. Great video! Take care, Dana😊👍

[@shanessinging]

Is anyone else fromthe UK thinking wow, when she goes ''mmmm'' after taking a bite, it makes the food sound like it tastes ALOT better then it actually is. XD

[@sillys0cks]

omfg i looooove parma violets xD

[@tracytaylor3836]

she said they taste like starchy old lady underwear oh dear

[@Larwood.]

I'm not surprised she didn't really like them, a lot of people don't. Personally I love them though, very delicate flavour

[@laneboi2709]

i love parma violets lol they're actually harder to find these days as they're a retro sweet :)

[@scarredxangel]

I've been watching all these and never been more excited then when Uncle Joe's Mint Balls appeared. Wigan! That is my home! It's a shite hole, but I love it, kind of xD

[@aeiol0u]

that loud giggle of miss emmy 4:38 LOL!!

[@leprechaunishable]

That Scouse stuff amazes me! Here in Germany we have a dish that is called Labskaus (which sounds pretty much like lob (?) scouse) It doesn´t look the same, though. It is considered to be cheap sailor´s food as well, but contains beets and all kinds of stuff like fish, beef or pork so it is a red, kind of unpleasent looking "soup". Wikipedia says that it really is eaten in Northern Europe and Liverpool. How interesting!! :)

[@Fayemobile]

Scouse pairs excellently with Red and Brown sauce alike! More traditional condiments are pickled beetroot and red cabbage. Personally I love beetroot with my scouse. Also cheaper cuts of meat are used, either beef or lamb, I find lamb necks are excellent in scouse especially!

[@Attic244]

Story about the gentleman's relish: my boyfriend and I happened upon a British tea and food shop one day. We were browsing the aisles and saw the Patum Peperium. He likes sweet condiments so we bought it thinking to use it on some sandwiches or sausage like regular pickle relish. Imagine our surprise when we tasted fish! Not unpleasant (we have fish sauce in the house so we're familiar with that taste), but totally unexpected!

[@rtongcn]

Great tasting as always. The lighting and distance from the camera are both just right in this one. :)

[@madelinpudsey2421]

Parma Violets are actually my favourites- flower flavoured things are delicious.

[@Tokerific1976]

Best and most correctly consumed vid yet made. Kudos.

[@sophita_]

Ooh Im so excited for a new UK video!

[@nobstanutts7650]

Yes, the advertising jingle for milky bars would go "Nessles milky bar".And that was endorsed by the company!

[@Elemgee1]

Oh i looooooove Parma Violets! To be fair they usually come as little tiny sweets in a roll. That was the giant version. I think it's the sweet that Queen Victoria or Marie Antoinette would partake of.

[@hanito294]

No way Carmac looks so good. I've never had one before and I'm from the uk

[@ImmaKittysaur93]

***** white chocolate isn't really chocolate

[@katierobertson1987]

They are lovely it's a mix of caramel and white chocolate it's my favourite!

[@Paul2377]

My local Asda sells Caramac. You should try one. They're very sweet but the chocolate is so thin so it's not too overpowering.

[@hamneggwich]

Caramacs remind me of the coating on McVitie's Gold biscuit bars, if you've had those they're a good frame of reference. I frikkin love those things.

[@Eludia]

+hamneggwich I'm with you, gold bars are so good! The Biscuit with the caramel chocolate tastes so amazing!

[@nollypolly1869]

Here in Canada, we have Starbar, but it's called Wunderbar. And HP is as ubiquitous as ketchup. Love that we have so much UK food here.

[@irisxie5627]

Your videos serious make me less grumpy on Mondays!!

[@pugs910]

I've always wondered what you do with all the food after you're done tasting all of them. Love your videos

[@alexandraduarte5343]

She's said before she shares them with friends and family (:

[@imogenruthburnett3867]

Parma violets are my favourite sweet ! You can get chocolates called violet creams, which is sort of like a rhin after eight but instead of mint its parma violet fondant, beaut!

[@samiam74]

HP on a fried egg with toast is AMAZING. I grew up with HP on the table instead of Ketchup.

[@coldplaylouise]

Yorkshire tea.....the best. The loose leaf is even better !

[@rusholmemike]

I really enjoyed UK Parts 6 & 7 - you have a brilliant "job" and do it so engagingly - all the food apart from Parma Violets (we called them vile-lets) & Patum Peprium,,,,,,, are typical Brit foods / treats I have eaten & enjoyed since childhood... (When I was a kid the town of New Mills was said to be coated in a thin layer of sherbety (?) dust by the Swizzels factory and we all longed to go there) I think the thing with us (old fogey) brits is we reminisce about the time before global companies such as Nestle bought out a lot of the old established sweet manufacturers such as Terry's of York, Rowntree / Mackintosh etc.... even Cadbury's are now owned by Kraft and as you spotted HP sauce is made in Holland! We now have to suffer the subtle (or not so subtle in the case of Kraft!) changes to the recipes or complete loss of treats, we loved as kids. Although the selection you were sent was absolutely great and Mr H selected some great items. At least Soreen, Eccles cakes, uncles joe's and Fisherman's friends are still going strong! Have you tried Tunnocks Caramel Wafers? and Butter Mintoes they're also delish.

[@fireandsugar2625]

I love Parma violets they even made an ice cream of it at a ice cream parlour where I live, it was awesome :D

[@zukomomo]

They sell Colman's Mustard here in the US too, or at least the powder version. My mom uses it in breaded chicken to add a little kick--YUM.

[@ladypumpkinhead7625]

aw so cute seeing you put stew on toast hehe ^-^ we usually just eat it in a big bowl with dumplings.... OH MY GOD! TRY IT WITH DUMPLINGS! You'll love it :D

[@SuperSweetlove123]

I tell my boyfriend off for having sugar in his tea... I love plain black tea yum!

[@KiaZiShiru]

One funny little fact is that not only is the brown sauce made in the Netherlands (the "original" sauce) but they also make great BBQ sauce, which is quite popular in the UK but is sold nowhere in the Netherlands (unless a store has a temporary BBQ sale or something). I love their BBQ sauce but I need to import it from the UK to get it, even though the Netherlands exports the product.

[@MrHws5mp]

HP sauce was originally made in the UK, but the parent company moved production to The Netherlands a few years ago, presumably for economic reasons. I don't think most Brits realise it's not still made in Birmingham: I certainly didn't.

[@anyname13579]

i bought my mom that same kettle! it's fantastic; heats water up so quickly!

[@TheCJtheCregg]

Love UncleJoes Mint Balls - my Dad is from Wigan, so we used to get them when we went back to the UK.

[@sarahr3429]

Woohoo scouse is amazing! I'm a scouser myself, meaning I'm from Liverpool. Although homemade scouse with fresh buttered bread and beet root is the best way to eat it! :) xxx

[@silverpistola]

Awesome vid! Wigan is my hometown so it really brought a smile to my face watching you try Uncle Joe's :D

[@telepathicalserendipity.ot1728]

Yorkshire tea is the best tea by far I love it I cant wake up without it im shamelessly addicted to it

[@helenGD]

We have so many Nestle products in Cyprus, from ice creams to chocolates. All yummy. As for the name, here we pronounce it as: Nest-le (emphasize on second 'e' but it sounds close to 'a' - ey). For example, the word "lay" but without pronouncing 'y' in the end. Nestlé :)

[@rubyl27]

Parma Violets are my absolute favourite! I cant see why so many people dont like them haha! Yum yum x

[@snarkygrin4132]

It might sound odd but in Hawaii we eat a lot of our Chinese fare with a reconstituted, powdered version of Coleman's mustard. It's delicious, especially with duck or roast pork.

[@ConanCnutKicker]

When i was young I said nessle and i just assumed that they had been bought out by a company called nestle... Also, fun fact: HP stands for Houses of Parliament, that's why it has a picture of the houses of parliament on the bottle.

[@Jesivotchka]

Hi Emmy! Excellent video as always. I was wondering, what brand and make of kettle do you use? Lots of tea is consumed at my house and having a customizable temp of the water would be wonderful. Also, hurray for Yorkshire red! Best tea on the planet.

[@frostybabe1048]

Here in Newfoundland, we have a similar scouse but we call it Lob Scouse, and it has salt beef instead of regular beef. Much tastier!

[@MinaMinksy]

I love the C Howards Violets. Were those similar at all? I used to travel a lot with my family when I was young. We focused on seeing the sights. I wish I had thought of going into stores and buying different snacks and candies, and really getting to know the culture through that avenue. I will, for sure, now.

[@troberts1]

I drink my black tea without milk or sugar, too! And I have the same electric kettle. And I'm sitting here with a cup of tea right now. :D Out of everything there I've only ever had Coleman's mustard, it comes in really tiny jars.

[@TheLondonLass]

I love parma violets so much I have parma violet scented candles around my house!

[@nobstanutts7650]

Also there are regional variations of lobscouse. Cawl in Wales and Scotch broth in Scotland and Irish Stew.

[@markiangooley]

Real Gentleman's Relish is very expensive in the USA, and apparently not too cheap even in the UK. I obtained some and compared it to what I made based on recipes for homemade versions. The homemade versions seem more buttery, and maybe the spices aren't exactly right, but they're close. I'm guessing also that the original is made from dried anchovies and not anchovies packed in olive oil (which are far easier to get here).

[@MrHws5mp]

+markiangooley It's not that expensive here in the UK. That small, standard pot that I sent Emmy was about £3, which seems a lot for the size, but bear in mind that it's very concentrated and goes a LONG way. You can get through an awful lot of toast with just one pot!

[@tigerwa]

Congratulations to you for sending these items!

[@CoffeeSandwich]

"They taste like bloomers." Lmao

[@rafifaias8847]

Awesome video, as always😊👍

[@catingrey]

This was really fun for me having been to the UK as well as Australia where I saw some of these treats before. You looked so miserable with the violet candies. Do you like rose flavored Turkish delight?

[@aimee-jowatson6760]

I live in England and Yorkshire tea is the best tea in England!! I can’t drink any other tea😂❤️

[@siangreenwoodx]

Never heard of Patum Peperium but it looks lovely! I love Parma Violets and now you have got me wanting some but it is 12.39 am and no shops are open by me :D
