Is this London's Best English Breakfast? | British Food Tour ft. Jellied Eels and Greggs!

London may not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of a culinary hotspot but as with any major city there are delicious, historic, and traditional restaurants to be found all around and London is no different!
In our first day in London, we start it strong with one heck of a full English at the legendary E Peliicci, walk off the breakfast at the historic and infamous Tower of London then indulge in the famous pie, mash, and liquor, and the notorious jellied eels at M. Manze Bermondsey! Stick around for some bonus adventures such as trying a Gregg's sausage roll, coffee at % Arabica, and a little sneak peak at our Hamilton theatre adventure later in the night!
Enjoy!

I love how you guys are visiting the not so high end food places. My opinion is the more working class places have the best food

[@locavore_eats]

Yesss these are the places we love going to but also we don't wanna break the bank either going to high-end places 😅😅😅

[@just-a-working-male]

@@locavore_eats also they tend to be a closer to traditional

[@saucemac8384]

Bubble and squeak instead of hash browns is the way to go.

[@alyssahenneseygonzales5830]

You guys deserve more subscribers!!!! I enjoy watching all your europe food trips ❤❤🎉

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you so much!!! 😭😭😭

[@NGT4LIFE]

We normally add milk and sugar to our black tea.

As you walked over tower bridge from the tower ,if u looked upriver to your right ,She was sitting there in all her Glory,Her Majestys Ship BELFAST, One of the last remaining warships from WW2, Oddly HMS Caroline from WW1 is moored in Belfast

[@marktownsend9333]

A good honest review well done you two from a English man who’s done the same thing 🍻🍻

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you 😇😇😇

[@alicedell8595]

Respect for using your cutlery correctly(!)

[@wendywalsh-pardey9439]

Tuck shop sausage roll in primary school were everything.

[@eduardoleao150]

Great food!

[@locavore_eats]

Love the history behind them too!!

[@simonbaker5972]

Pellicci is definitely a must. Pie Mash and Liquor is considered food of the Gods for us Cockneys. My family used to live there 50+ years ago. My nan had a Jewish restaurant off that Rd with Pellicci on. You're more than welcome in the East End!

[@locavore_eats]

You cannot beat the family hospitality at Pellicci for sure!! Can't wait to explore more of the East End one day 🥰🥰🥰

[@RUTH-qy1qe]

Loving the Europe tour vlogs, sissy Aleana is so prettyyy!!!! Lots of love fam ❤

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you!!! 😇😇😇

[@louiem2]

Nice vid guys, looks like you had a great time in London!! Fair play on eating the jellied eels, even as a local, i've never tried that 😀

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks we had a great time in London!!! Haha our curiosity was too strong to not try the eels 😅

[@JanTheNan]

Worked Tower Hill all my working life, 13 years before Kids.

[@JanTheNan]

Bread Pudding, Yum.

[@JanTheNan]

Bethnal Green is where I grew up, fab Pellicci ❤

[@locavore_eats]

🥰🥰🥰

[@zacksmith2227]

Loved the video but would have loved a Chinatown 2.1 London tour as well.

[@locavore_eats]

Next time for sure!! So many amazing spots in such a small area!

[@pytw04]

after watching a bunch of your videos, it makes me wonder how long was your entire trip in europe?? It looks like it would take weeks, but epic nonetheless! :) And dont worry, I love the whimsical accents being thrown in, not gonna lie but I let them slip once in a while too haha. also great material! didnt know eels were a thing in london, makes me wonder if the eel stew would have been a better choice than the jelly. haha i went with lambs head jelly in iceland and im not sure if i wanna repeat it again. Thank God for asian food already giving me a stronger stomach XD

[@locavore_eats]

Our trip was over 4 weeks and basically vlogged everyday apart from transit days which is why we're always in winter clothes! Thanks for watching!!

[@helenmackinnon817]

Welcome too the ukxx

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks we had a great time!!!

[@alestout5632]

Hats off to both of you 👍you done your homework on pie & mash eating with a fork & spoon that’s the proper way. If you come again try stewed eels pie & mash loads of vinegar & white pepper ( sorry Me what’s his name couldn’t make )

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you!!! Stewed eels is defs on the list for next time 😊

[@user-gs2px3xp2y]

what do you after consume your BEST ENGLISH BREAKFAST? NAP?

[@locavore_eats]

Yeah pretty much 😂😂😂

[@lokeshgowda232]

Finally

[@sopissedoff]

A little known fact ,There is a barracks above the crown jewels ,There is twenty soldiers based there for security at night and plain clothes during the day

[@locavore_eats]

Ooh fascinating thanks!!

[@TheEndOfNowhere]

My rule of thumb is if the sauce is in the generic brown bottle it is not HP. Could be good, could be not so good. Likewise with the red bottle is probably not Heinz.❤🎉

[@margritpiepes8242]

Wht is that jelly stuff? Is that fish in there??

[@locavore_eats]

It's eels and it's set in a stock 😊

[@vickytaylor9155]

It should be bubble and squeak not American hash browns on the breakfast. That is not a true Cumberland sausage either as that would be in a spiral shape.

[@mjreyes725]

missing: garlic fried rice

[@locavore_eats]

😂😂😂

[@spartanwarrior1]

overrated , yawn

[@edwardkent]

The vinegar is for the EELS.........................................................

[@martinscott-reed5379]

I have no idea why British restaurants started adding hash browns onto a Full English. Because they don't belong there. We're being bleedin' yankyfied enough without them intruding on our culinary staples.

[@joyridgway6398]

The pie and mash looks good, but the jelly eels is not for me.

[@markgozzard]

Unless the Gregg's you go to have anything warm don't go there... if you want a proper sausage roll go to a butchers... greggs suck.... there are so many better baker's than them

[@garyskinner2422]

I was just saying to my missus, greggs is crap I prefer a proper bakers with crusty rolls and nice soups etc old fashioned, greggs is like a conveyor belt of the same stuff, then I came across your comment, I'm proud of you haha

[@markgozzard]

@garyskinner2422 thanks mate u and ur missus obviously have good taste 👍🏻

[@bobbybingle1662]

Italians,like my dad,do not recognise spag bol but spaghetti with a ragu;also proper spaghetti is not served with the meat sauce on top but mixed like the lady did on her plate. The owners either can't be Italian or have lived in Britain too long and forgotten.🤷‍♂️ Plus,the prices are ridiculously expensive for what you get,even for London.

[@FitJoey1975]

How recent are your videos? Cause it doesn't match the season. You are like wearing fall and winter attire. I thought Europe was warmer in 2023

[@locavore_eats]

This was in February earlier this year 😊

[@FitJoey1975]

​@@locavore_eatsThanks. Keep up the good content. Love the videos

[@lizvickers7156]

Its pronounce Medi -evil not med evil.

[@zzyya]

Steer clear of Greggs it's greasy, horrible rubbish. Find a good local butcher or baker for decent pies.

[@Jaspauls]

Your not eating the breakfast right way. None of the english eat a piece of bacon and sausauge together. Watch back your video again, Your actually making fun of our english breakfast, the chinese lad. Poor review, better not to do it all.

[@locavore_eats]

tHe cHiNeSe LaD. We're Filipino lmao get it right. We absolutely loved the breakfast and thanks for watching!
