Emmy Eats Wales 2 - tasting more Welsh treats

[@daisyduane5699]

Hi Emmy I'm so glad that you liked my package and enjoyed the food I sent 😀 the video was great and well worth the wait! Made my day watching and your Welsh speaking sounded brilliant 😝 hehe if your ever in Wales then you will have a huge 'croeso!' (Which means welcome) 😊 xxx

[@emmymade]

THANKS so much Daisy phillips I had a blast and my baby loves shaking the toot pop. lol

[@daisyduane5699]

Haha glad the little guy liked it also the marmite cashews are my favourite 😊

[@caitlinjordan5095]

I'm from wales too when she said asda I laughed lol x

[@daisyduane5699]

I know whoever told her that asda is pronounced a.s.d.a must have been pulling her leg! Lol xxx

[@cerys-mairgriffiths9917]

Hi, I'm from Wales also!! So glad that Emmy likes the Welsh food you sent to her, as it's not often you see people try Welsh foods in 'Foods from around the world' videos!! The Welsh language is quite hard to learn +emmymadeinjapan, if you haven't learnt it from a young age, but I think you did an amazing job of it!! Da iawn (well done)!! :D

[@robynatsix]

You were pronouncing ASDA right, no-one calls it A S D A, at least not here in England

[@MrHws5mp]

Yep, literally EVERYONE pronounces it "AzzDar", not the initials.

[@twocupsoftee]

Agreed, Asda as a word, no the letters.

[@Jelleh25]

lol yea I found it odd whoever said it's pronounced "A.S.D.A" i mean come on what if you're having a convo and say "hey wanna go pick up some fruit in A.S.D.A?" "sure we can go to A.S.D.A" XD

[@aribahnasif3792]

No one here in wales call it A S D A its just asda, and emmy its part of Walmart

[@SimderZ]

Yep, its a word Asda, no one ever says A S D A.. weird, that someone told you that.

[@ChristopherStendeck]

Interesting story about lamb and mint... It was during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) that the English wool industry fell into decline, partly due to a greater consumption of lamb and mutton as food. In order to arrest this situation, the Queen decreed that Lamb must only be consumed with bitter herbs (to put people off). It was not long however, that people discovered that mint (classed a bitter herb) actually goes quite well. 400 years later, it has become a British tradition.

[@emmymade]

Ozzpot Ah, I see. Thanks for the history lesson. :)

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Heh heh what clever people.

[@dynamitetete]

I can't be the only one that gets so excited when emmy uploads a video eating foods from the place you live in!

[@bryan7257]

I love how you always have an open mind when trying things! You give everything a shot!

[@CinziaDuBois]

Who pronounces ASDA a-s-d-a?! Even the television adverts for Asda say asda, they don't pronounce it as an acronym - and I worked there. Feel free to call it asda, as a British citizen I've never heard it any other way XD

[@tiniesprouts5684]

I honestly love these videos. I sit down and relax with a cup of tea and watch you every other afternoon.

[@donalskehan]

Lots of Welsh people left comments on my brack video saying it was like that cake! Great video! :)

[@MrHws5mp]

The fresh mint sauce eaten with lamb is a mixture of chopped mint, malt vinegar and sugar. It's a "liquid with bits in" rather than a "jelly" as such. You can adjust the sweet/sour balance by varying the sugar content to taste. You can buy it ready made as well of course. My mother used to serve something called "fresh pickle" with cold meats, particularly lamb, which was basically onion rings soaked in malt vinegar, sugar and spices. She'd make it a few hours before the meal, then leave it covered in the fridge until it was wanted.

[@tauraziskiet3961]

Emmy you are such a beautiful person! Absolutely love watching your videos. Such a genuine, kind person. 😃

[@emalinel]

Emmy you are so cute xD I love how you make these videos are informative yet really fun at the same time.

[@miriam6686]

the bara brith im used to is dark all the way through, heavier than the light fruit cake. you get it thinly sliced and buttered in tearooms and its gorgeous :-)

[@davidhardwick3816]

I love how pleasantly surprised you are at almost every food you try - how nice to be so positive, even about the few things you do not care for! Please keep making these vlogs!

[@eeeddd998]

You are the most positive person on youtube! You always find a way to brighten up my day! Thankyou

[@gabriellarodriguez5275]

Under 300 club! Emmy, I very recently started watching your videos, and I LOVE YOU! You are so educated, respectful, and kind! You deserve an EMMY award 😉 See what I did there? No? Okay...

[@megara6812]

Thank you for being so respectful! I loved this video. Love from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Daavidd4]

Hahaha. That was fun! Asda is pronounced as one word, 2 syllables AS DA (or dah/duh based on our accent lol)... so it's not a s d a. Understand the confusion :) They are owned by Walmart! And yes! Growing up we had many neighbourhood "corner" shops that would sell some essential groceries (milk, bread etc) as well as pick'n'mix and ice lollies and regular old bagged sweets too! Oh... and the daily news paper of course! They still exist but my childhood doesn't :(

[@345er342]

Love the nail polish, Emmy! It seems like it gets brighter and more daring every video!

[@AnnaDee101]

You always make everything look so delicious! :) Love your descriptions.

[@cathyjester7187]

We used to have the candy whistles in the states. I loved them when I was a kid. My grandpa always thought it was fun to send my brother and I home with one or two of them to annoy mom and dad!

[@lipo126]

I have literally never heard anyone call Asda, A.S.D.A. Haha

[@l_p25]

HAHA! Oh Emmy. You got it right the first time, babe, it is MOST DEFINITELY, NATIONALLY REKNOWNED as "Az-Dah". Whoever told you you were wrong must not be British and, if they are, they need a check up. As...DUH!

[@CookingWithCows]

Haha yeah.. I guess it's a safe route to pronounce it the same way as the company itself does in the asda advertisements (you can find them on youtube)

[@Jess1ekins]

I'm so glad you finally got to try Jam Tea Cakes! They are my favourite. :-)

[@ChloeBabes13]

Am I the only one who stayed to the very end ???? Can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@itskimmi21]

the uk used to have Lamb and Mint Walkers but they took them off the shelves like other flavours such as BBQ Rib and Steak and Onion. they used to be my all time favourite flavours and whenever they bring them back for a short amount of time, i always get them because they're delicious!

[@AussieGirl600]

The Bara Brith I used to have was much more dense and dark. Loved it so much. Actually, I think I'll have to make some, soon.

[@Esquejulie]

I'm really liking the high quality picture! You can see the treats much better!

[@Halleaon]

We have an old style soda fountain and candy shop where I live that you can do the pick and mix thing here where I live in Oregon, USA

[@warbloid]

That sounds like heaven.

[@omgmaddietv]

ASDA is an acronym but you pronounce it as a word not each individual letter :)

[@kimberlyadams2078]

Dragons and Castles Which- fun fact- is actually not called an acronym, but an initialism, I believe.

[@omgmaddietv]

Kimberly Adams I think that's when you pronounce each letter idk that's what google said :3

[@kimberlyadams2078]

Dragons and Castles Sorry, I had misread your comment. XP

[@omgmaddietv]

Kimberly Adams That's okay :D

[@padthaifries]

In her emmyeats U.K. Part 5 she pronounces Asda as "A.S.D.A" and there are lots of comments correcting her. Maybe she just misremembered which was right :)

[@Rageypeep]

ASDA - Asquith and Dairies. Formed in 1965 when Associated Dairies bought the Asquith chain of 3 supermarkets.

[@eputrilla1]

I am so amazed how you know almost everything you have eaten and say the episode and country it was in :D ! Love your every video ! Hope you will continue doing this for a long time ! ps: sorry for bad english :)

[@antonymash9586]

Mint sauce is the traditional condiment with roast lamb in the UK. Shredded mint in vinegar over your meat. I always love to soak up the minty gravey in bread after the meal. And it is definatly asda, not A.S.D.A. It may well be an acronym but we don't use it in that way

[@AshleyWeill]

Oh we get bonbons! The french club sells them at my school (here in America) as a fundraiser. I like the strawberry and the green apple ones ^^

[@plastictrees_3059]

I moved to England from Wales in 2013 and I visit every so often (once a month) am going tomorrow and I shall try and pick a few things up

[@BrynHarding]

Emmy, ASDA is pronounced ASDA and certainly isn't an acronym!

[@effiemills5251]

Asda is an abbreviation of Asquith and Dairies, often capitalised. Although there is some controversy about whether the name was "Associated" and "Dairies" which were merged as opposed to Asquith.

[@pinkmisfits]

I know! Who was telling her otherwise! It is only ever pronounced as one word, ASDA!

[@owlsshadowsfears]

Glos Ox I guess it might be an acronym, but I've only ever pronounced it as one word, ASDA and i've never met someone who doesnt say it that way. My sister won a competition many years ago to design a staff badge and help open our local asda, and all of the managers and ceos called it ASDA too. Definitely only one word.

[@flibblesan]

Effie Mills That is no longer the case. These days the company name is Asda and is no longer an acronym. Wikipedia isn't always accurate.

[@JustAnotherLondoner]

Glos Ox Came here to ask who the bloody hell calls it A S D A?? Everyone calls it Asda, pronounced "az-da"!

[@momkatmax]

Oh my Marmite! Father was stationed in WII with the British in Northern Ireland for a time. The Scotts, British, Irish, Welsh and even Aussie lads there got him to taste marmite and like it! Had a jar in the pantry when I was a kid. Never got a taste for it. Dad would have LOVED those nuts with it.

[@laurametheny1008]

We have some Welsh blood. Loved this. I dream of visiting the UK! I am doing an Emmy binge. Was almost asleep but that whispering at the end actually startled me awake lol!😍🎄

[@luprano]

Loving all your videos, especially this one ×

[@hotvampiregirl2]

I live in the UK and I live close to Asda, and we have always pronounced it asda and not A.S.D.A because that doesn't make much sense XD and it is just a store :)

[@TheASTrader]

Well, I was going to comment about how you were pronouncing Asda right from the start, but I see that others have already. So I'll just say hi! My dinner's not ready yet and that cake is making me really hungry.

[@hayimnikkii]

those chocolate coated fluffy marshmallow cookies look just like mallomars in the states!! LOVE them!

[@luzgriselda9484]

Wow! Emmy, how to you remember all the goodies, You, eat

[@LittleLemonTV]

I don't know who told you that you were wrong when you said Asda as one word because that's how you say it, it's definitely not pronounced a s d a :P I'm thinking of getting stuff to send you because I'm from Scotland and we have tonnes of traditional stuff :)

[@momkatmax]

I have been tracing my hubby's family tree . His grandmother thought the roots were German but she was way off it is Welsh! Thanks for the treat tasting.

[@rileysmooth2250]

I still never know how you have the ability to stop eating after just one. I wouldn't be able to stop with so many snacks around me haha

[@lmaree200886]

If I were a chip I'd be one of the very Aussie flavours we've had over the years thanks to Smith's Chips, Vegemite, Meat Pie with Tomato Sauce, Gravy, or one that was a " What's your flavour" competition entry, Late Night Lamb Kebab! Seeing how these aren't available anymore, my usual flavour is Salt and Vinegar :) We also have Teeth lollies, but they are softer and taste like Spearmint!

[@tinagurumi]

1) those candies are super adorable!! 2) I agree with you 100% on the pork curls... So much better than the American style pork rind in my humble opinion :) gotta love that crunch!! 3) my potato chip flavor would be either poutine or Filipino-style chicken adobo!! :D Great post as always Emmy! You just make me smile...

[@marifroggy]

Awesome review!!!! Keep them coming.

[@bethleigh22]

Oh I do love the complexity of my home language hahah

[@ChloeBabes13]

I'm from Wales! Loved this video ☺️☺️

[@NekoCupcakeKittyXxX]

Maltesers are my favourite , you should try their hot chocolate its AMAZING 3

[@slodkieabstrakcje5806]

Fruit cake looks very interesting. In Poland we call it "keks" :) Lyons must taste gorgeous!

[@roncocoyeah]

Mint jelly is often put on lamb chops in those sort of "British" areas. Not a wild surprise that the lamb chips had the minty flavor!

[@amyruulz]

By "Those "British" areas", I'm assuming you mean Britain.

[@hayleyralph9572]

At Christmas time in the UK, you can get white chocolate Malteesers - they're my favourites.

[@KelseySmithFoy]

Where I live you can get them all the time :D

[@applepingua3974]

I wish I had seen this Welsh series a bit earlier because I had to do a project on it in history and I had to make food or sweets to accompany it but I could not find really any recipes or popular sweets to maybe try to emulate except for one that I finalky found clled gshaft (a mint hard candy) but mine turned out more like apple vinegar hahaha

[@patchyxx]

Oh interesting. When I was in the UK, ASDA was pronounced as, well "asda." The TV commercials say it as a word.

[@Tom-lf9rl]

Oh yeh also Asda is like a supermarket!

[@marsybarsy01]

Amazing video, Emmy! :)

[@warbloid]

The clicker pops used to be sold where I live in the states. (Louisiana to be exact)

[@radio53snakes53]

ASDA is "Associated Dairies" a company originally from the county of Yorkshire in northern England. Now owned by Walmart. Everyone would just say as-da and not pronounce each letter.

[@JuwuVods]

Marmite cashews ! 😱😋 I want to try those oh my gosh

[@abbyfultz1001]

My grandma was from Missouri and her family is from the deep South. She said that cracklins are used in biscuits or mashed potatoes. She just passed away and I wish she would have been able to put them in a recipe for us :( But her lasagna and roast were ahhhhmazing!!!!

[@LMTav]

I have Welsh family but consider myself a Londoner and a Welsh word we all use is cwtch (pronounced kutch like butch) it means a warm cuddle eg. "Can I get a cwtch with your baby?"

[@TheHarlequinade]

I've never known anyone to say A.S.D.A like an acronym... It's definitely Asda, one word like you were saying it before. Its the biggest British supermarket, owned by Walmart. And if anyone knows how to pronounce it, it's me; until three months ago, I worked there!

[@robmckennie4203]

Consonants. Welsh has a lot of consonants.

[@ReiKoko]

like others have pointed out, you pronounced ASDA right the first time :D i've never heard anyone say each letter separately. ASDA is basically UK's walmart and they sell just about everything under the sun! i miss maltesers. my favourite way of eating them was to suck off all the chocolate first and then eat the centres last. i know that's a bit weird >__

[@ReiKoko]

***** glad i'm not the only one then xD

[@ilanarhian]

***** Me too!!

[@sallyphilpin1104]

ReiKoko I nibble all the chocolate off first then eat the middle lol

[@thetwinsiesshow3208]

I love your candy videos so much

[@missqiak8337]

Hi Emmy. I love the way you describe what you put into your mouth. And I love how you seem to enjoy trying them out, even when you don't really like them. Oh... I just wanna say, you remind me of Masha from Masha and the Bear, the kids show.

[@mikmatt6176]

Hey Emmy! Loooove your vids! Totally addicted! Although Asda is an abbreviation of Asquith and Dairies, the brand is marketed as ASDA and not A S D A so you were right to start with! It's actually owned by by Walmart!!!! Keep up the great vids. Stay well. M xx

[@cyexlceltan3446]

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. If I were potato chips, I would be beer battered fish with tartar sauce. 😂

[@flibblesan]

Asda used to be an acronym but hasn't been for many years. The company name is Asda Stores Limited, a subsidiary of Wal-Mart.

[@TheCanadiangirl4]

The Jam tea cakes look like our Viva Puffs or Whippets! I wonder if some of the British heritage is coming through. lol.

[@SteveInScotland]

ASDA, Pronounced as-dah, was started by a group of dairy companies that went by the name of ASsociated DAiries, hence Asda. It's now fully owned by Walmart.

[@kristent225]

Toot sweets?? That's what the candy was called on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.. one of my fave kid movies!

[@amberfranklin4499]

If you ever come to the U.K. you might like to try sensations roasted chicken and thyme. I love them there really nice

[@sophiagarten474]

love you Emmy❤️

[@tzuyuwu786]

We also eat a lot of these in Scotland!💕

[@jessicashorts2255]

Righty righty left loosey lol I love these videos

[@robmckennie4203]

Damn it now I'm craving lamb+mint chips. Good thing we're doing groceries later

[@DieNine1905]

If I were a bag of chips I would be blue French kettle chips with red pepper and gold foil. ( you can buy this in Germany - absolutely crazy fun)

[@henry182]

I love your videos they are so good

[@amymstreamer3163]

Lamb and mint jelly are a classic pairing.

[@karbear26]

Those strawberry ones looked yummy! How about a chicken pas Thai potato chip after my favorite food!

[@rubenmendezjr.7256]

Great video Emmy

[@nathanrussell2325]

Looks like you loooooved eating Wales! Maybe one day I'll send you something from Gibraltar!

[@MuffinMasterful]

Sweden has almost the exact same mushroom candies (don't know if they still have them though)! Although they're pink and white, and not bubblegum flavoured! They were my favourite growing up C:

[@scottishlass804]

We do have the pink & white ones, too ! They have been around 36+ years ! They only started doing that bubble gum flavour, in the last few years !

[@MuffinMasterful]

Really? I might have to get my mamma to get some. She just went back yesterday :D Thanks!

[@coldplaylouise]

I'd be lamb and mint flavour crisp. Walkers did do that flavour but for some reason got rid of it where I live in Leicestershire.

[@megharris8302]

Yer Asda is a super market in the uk and is like tesco sainsburys ect you just say it how it is not spelling it out but it is an easy mistake to make so it is quite alright just so u know for next time xxx

[@Direwoof]

I would be walkers prawn cocktail those crisps are awesome.

[@lydiaherondale3679]

Who else here is a Welsh speaker??

[@celynwiliams9361]

Lydia Herondale fi!

[@starry_ser]

Fi!

[@elliejones1561]

Fi!

[@mosssider]

Everyone says the word not the acronym - dunno who told you that? The name came from Asquith Dairies or Associated Dairies, depending on who you believe. I've been told it is the second :) Thanks for the vids, Emmy :)

[@freyaporter99]

Hey Emmy, the pronounciation for diolch is "dee-o-lch" where the "lch" is a kind of weird breathy sound made at the back of your throat. Welsh is really hard to pronounce!

[@MrHws5mp]

The traditional pick'n'mix nearly died out in the UK, but there's a company (maybe more than one) supplying them as a franchise now, so all these little "Granny's Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe" places have sprung up. Kinda fake in a way, but the sweets are pretty authentic, at least as far as I can remember! Of course that made the supermarkets jump on the bandwagon, so several of them have reintroduced pick'n'mix counters as well.

[@Gwencassidy]

Tooth brush as a gummy candy is so funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@kingcatlxix4573]

What pleb told you ASDA is pronounced as letters? It is now widely accepted as ASDA and in their ads they pronounce it as one word. Great video anyway!

[@Sibernethy]

9:10 Someone please make a video of every time she drops something or fumbles the snack she's holding. Every time she does that, a cartoony sound plays and it's funny :P

[@itsemmyyeah7527]

Asda is actually pronounced just as you said it! It's a company of wallmart, they're one of our biggest supermarkets :)

[@abbyfultz1001]

Greenbean casserole is my favorite side dish!!!!!!!

[@wildwelshpete]

Just randomly found this video So much better foods and snacks can be found here 🙂

[@gryphonshire]

If I were a potato chip, I'd probably be Lime & Wasabi. Green with a bit of a kick.... Thanks, Emmy, for letting us see what different Cultures eat, and encouraging us to try new foods & flavors. My Motto: Celebrate Diversity!!!
