I try a Parmo in Middlesbrough - The BEST food you've never heard of!

[@everydayimeating3407]

What other great unknown foods are out there? Comment Below 😀

[@SpikeBlighty]

What about a "Fat rascal". It's a cross between a scone and rock cake. Apparently they originate somewhere near you in Yorkshire , So hopefully wouldn't involve a mega trek to find one.

[@NorskInjustis]

Medialunas, Buenos Aires. It is a 14 hour trip so maybe also eat a parilla, which means Argentinian BBQ platter. it is literally the best grilled food you will ever get. and few people really knows this n europe or in the usa. they have lots of other great food there or sure, and wine! go for it mate

[@Fellwalker12487]

Was originally pork, but Muslim owned takeaways started making it with chicken instead. They're both nice but made with pork escalope is much more tasty in my opinion. By the way born and bred in the Boro there was no need for the insults at the beginning, this town like most these days has its run down areas but you're definitely not in danger we're all friendly up here .

[@CSO-h2c]

It wasn’t insults lmao, he was just stating what he heard about the area. If I said “I’ve heard Manchester is a dump” I’m not insulting Manchester I’m just stating what I heard

[@larhumba4233]

I liked the look of a Parmo, had no idea what it was, looked very tasty, but wouldn't travel to Middlesbrough to try one, thanks. Good on that coach driver telling folk to belt up and shut up and not disturb others. 👍👏

It's a shame that people have to be told how to behave around others , etiquette was taught to our generation from childhood.

I travel a lot on this service, unfortunately people have to be told. On busy services they come and check seat belts and tell people to stop taking 2 seats up.

[@susannah1184]

Enjoyed this vlog, thank you xx

[@arthurvasey]

My favourite parmo is the bolognese one - with an extra portion of pepperoni on top (ask for the pepperoni!). Calling it a parmesan is a bit of a misnomer, as it doesn’t even have parmesan cheese in it! Good idea to try the small version if you have never tried it before - you might not like it! As to the lake in Albert Park - it used to be surrounded by trees - and it was a boating lake with rowing boats - seems to be swan-shaped pedaloes now!

Great vlog as always from you. Just a idea for you, At the end of the month it's the famous Nottingham goose fair which is one of largest in uk. This fair is famous for its mushy peas with mint sauce and vinegar. You will find hundreds of stalls here selling mushy peas however there is a food market at the fair site with large choice food. Here you will also find a number of mushy pea stalls selling properly oven cooked peas. You can get to the fairground very easy from Nottingham Station via the trams which stop at goose fair. I think this would make a great fun video for you.

There aren't any sights in Mbro, sadly. There are nice places around, but the town centre used to be just shops and offices, but 90% of the shops have closed down. OK, there's a modern art gallery which might keep you entertained for 30 mins....If you are going up that way, probably better to stay on the train and go on to Redcar, or Saltburn. Both are coastal resorts (Saltburn is a real unknown gem) and parmos will be available in both places!

I live in Greater Manchester and a takeaway near us has them on the menu. It’s the only place I’ve seen them and they’re massive.

[@andrewwilliamson4356]

So here's the history lesson, the original parmo was veal then pork,, it was served in the Europa restaurant which was not far from the bus station by an ex American military chef who settled in Middlesbrough, served traditionally with creamed cabbage, which like the pork parmesan is hard to find. Which i think it is far superior to chicken. In the mid 80,s parmos were only found in certain restaurants. As for you dissing Middlesbrough, Leeds has as many ropey areas, one last one i think if you chose Fellini's it is my favourite. One fun fact i believe they do 2k parmos over a long weekend.
