Trying LONDON'S BEST DISHES 🇬🇧 (not what we expected)

[@ndenyer]

Hash Browns are NOT a proper part of an English breakfast.

[@martinconnelly1473]

Tomato, avocado and potato, foods from the "New World". How long does food have to go back to be traditional? 😜

[@gibsonms]

They are though. In the 1700s, an English breakfast typically included bread, butter, eggs, tea or coffee, and preserved meat. Things change.

[@Mk1Male]

@@martinconnelly1473 That was because it was the 'vegan' version. Keep up.

[@Mk1Male]

@@gibsonms No, they're not in a 'traditional' English breakfast. It was always bubble and squeak. Many things have changed today but anyone that purports to serve a traditional Full English Breakfast would not have hash browns, they are not even English.

[@colinbennington4157]

Buy a full English breakfast in the East End would be half that price and you would struggle to eat it all. Looks like some posh West End establishment to me. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Lemmys_Mole]

Well done for going to a chippy for the fish & chips!..Classic mistake by tourists is having F & C in a pub or restaurant. It's NOT the same.

[@davidbirch6893]

When the British first went over to America, did they forget to take the instructions for using cutlery correctly 😂 Cut the food, put the knife down, put the fork in the other hand, eat food and repeat 🤦it takes forever 😂 Come on guys, When in Rome 😂

[@WyattandReyka]

Haha we’ve never claimed to have good table manners 😂 Thanks for watching our video!

[@davidbirch6893]

@WyattandReyka it's nothing personal, It just makes us Brits cringe when we see that, I guess we were just raised with good table manners 😆 Loving these videos, you should definitely visit the north of England next time, especially York, I did mention on the previous video that The Shambles in York were also part of the inspiration behind Diagon Alley, and I think there's a Harry Potter shop there too. There's lots of history in York and plenty of places to visit, it has a river, like London, called the River Ouse (pronounced Ooze) Plus everything is less expensive up north 🤣

Hash browns have no place on an English breakfast. A US import. Your "hipster" breakfast was missing a whole load of traditional ingredients.

[@WookieWarriorz]

hash browns are common in ireland and northern ireland, we also have pancake, potato bread and fried egg, definitely not normal bread.

[@WyattandReyka]

Good to know! We’ll have to redeem the breakfast in another video when we return to England. Any specific restaurant to visit for the real deal?

[@colingoode3702]

As I said, hash browns have no place on a traditional English Breakfast. Bubble & squeak is the real deal.

[@richt71]

Hey guys. The English breakfast seemed to be missing a load of ingredients. A full English normally has mushrooms, tinned tomatoes, black pudding and bubble and squeak instead of hash browns (which are a recent addition). You need to try the national dish. Not fish and chips but chicken tikka masala. Although it looks like you had the sauce over chips! The dish was supposedly invented for milder British pallets so a little heat but mainly a creamy tomato flavour. In London you should also try pie, mash and liquor. Old working men food with fresh meat pies made onsite by pie shops.

[@zzyya]

Noooo. Not tinned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes.

[@WyattandReyka]

Oh man tikka masala sounds amazing! Heck yes we’ll add that to the list for next time. And definitely we gotta do the breakfast again. Any specific place to get it? 🤔

[@cyberash3000]

E Pellicci in Bethnal Green is an institution serving full English breakfast for over a 100 years. For chicken tikka Dishoom is pretty good. They have a number of branches across London.

[@jonharvey6277]

That was not a full English it wasn't even a half English

[@WyattandReyka]

Hi! Thanks for watching! What specifically did we miss? And do you have a good spot where we could find the whole thing next time? Sorry we messed that up

[@baylessnow]

When pouring tea from a pot, you put the milk in first. This stops the cup from getting stained (tanning), as they do when you make tea in the cup. Making it in the cup, you put the milk in last because the milk clogs up the perferations in the bag and stops the tea from brewing in the cup.

[@RevStickleback]

If you can pick up the beans on toast, there aren't enough beans on it. And it needs a thick spread of butter on it too. It's really the beans and the butter that make it taste great. The toast is for texture.

[@ttsese]

that actually looks more like a portuguese tart (pastel de nata) because it has the caramelized custard top, no curry sauce or mushy peas with the fish and chips? i would recommend maybe a uk chinese food like crispy shredded chilli beef capitol spare ribs beef rice rolls at Lido in chinatown london

[@DougBrown-h1n]

So glad you both enjoyed the food you sampled - but my goodness, a six year old would get some serious side-eye for eating like that!

[@gmdhargreaves]

BIG MISTAKE, Cod is a lot cheaper and easier to catch, Haddock tastes way better it’s night and day between the two and you should have splashed vinegar all over it! What were u thinking???! 😂❤❤

[@WyattandReyka]

Daw man bummed to have messed that up! Where can we get a good Haddock fried next time? Thanks for the comment we appreciate it! 🥰

[@annother3350]

not that big a mistake man. cods fine

[@taylort5672]

@@WyattandReyka North east coast of Yorkshire has the best haddock and chips fried in pure beef dripping (rendered beef fat). Without a doubt, the best thing to fry fish n chips with. Once you try it, you won't want anything else. Haddock is the main choice in the north east and Scotland, although rock salmon, woof and cod are also on offer in many local chippy's. Locals choose their favourite chippy because of the batter recipe used, which can be highly secret and can make or break the shop. London fish and chips are practically inedible to northerners.

[@artapples8417]

I much prefer cod

[@TChighbury]

Cod is usually more expensive than haddock and for me, tastes much better; less fishy and meatier.

[@wallywombat164]

Do americans become embarrassed by the way the use cutlery when they are out in public?

[@Farokudagelap]

Yes their use of the fork has less grace and skill than an Irish navi with a shovel.

Did you get chips AND FRENCH frys?

[@gilledwards9302]

You're a charming couple and I enjoy your videos. Sadly, a number of the harsher comments here have merit. Should you return to the UK again ( and I hope you will) I suggest you venture outside London to destinations which are less of a tourist trap and experience the real Britain. I'm sure you'd enjoy the likes of Durham, Lincoln, Avebury, Oxford, Bristol and seaside resorts such as Whitby and Weymouth. Yes, they can be a bit 'touristy' but they're much more representative of the true Britain.

[@margaretnicol3423]

Those 'egg tarts' are Portuguese Pastel de nata and absolutely delicious.

[@margaretnicol3423]

If you're not sure about the tea try it with a spoonful or two of sugar.

That wasn't a full English breakfast. You picked a pretentious, overpriced place which is unrepresentative of a real English Breakfast. You were totally scammed, 2 full English breakfasts shouldn't cost more than £15.

I'll be going for Breakfast with a mug Tea £ 6 • 70 p . London prices are Crazy expensive. But i suppose every Capitol City is same.

[@enemde3025]

I know you went to London but, the prices you were charged for food is WAY more than most people would pay !! Let me tell you , that is NOT a FULL ENGLISH with avocado, spinach and tofu on it !! Did you have BLACK PUDDING ? The beans are to be eaten mixed with the different items on the plate, NOT spooned onto the toast . Beans on toast, as a meal, is not usually eaten for breakfast. I don't like salt or vinegar on my fish and chips. FRIES are what you get in McDonalds !! Ours are called CHIPS and ONLY ever called chips !

[@WyattandReyka]

Oh interesting! Thanks for the good feedback. We have learned a lot from these helpful comments ☺️ Bummed we missed black pudding! Didn’t hear about that talking to locals nor online. Next time we’ll try to redeem ourselves 💪😘

[@MattCultPop]

Well done Ebenezer.

[@davidbirch6893]

@MattCultPop even when I've had breakfast somewhere, Most I paid was about £9 and you got a lot more on your plate, 3 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, 2 hash browns, black pudding, beans, 2 toast and a drink. I wouldn't pay £13 for that, so called, traditional English breakfast of 1 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 hash browns, 1 egg, 1 toast and beans..... oh and a sprig of parsley. You get more on a Weatherspoons breakfast for half the price.

We’d be happy to come over and try your cooking!! 🥰🙏

I keep telling everyone who will listen, the only way properly to enjoy BRITISH ISLES food (English, Welsh, Scottish and, yes, Irish) is to find some really good recipe books and cook it yourself. You get better at it - and you don't pay lunatic London prices for weird, usually inaccurate, fakes.

[@clivethewritermadenglishma4042]

£13 quid for a breakfast with missing ingredients ? A good full English normally cost around £5 to £7. BUT it should include, sausage, bacon, black pudding, tinned tomatoes, (sometimes fresh tomatoes grilled), mushrooms, fried bread, fried/poached egg, baked beans, bubble and squeak(not always available), hash browns (a more modern addition). Toast with butter and tea or coffee. I love you channel but PLEASE try to learn how to use cutlery here in uk. I cringed when I watched you pick up the hash browns with your fingers. It’s a cultural thing I know but it’s the biggest talking point amongst brits when discussing US tourists. Please come back as we love your fresh attitudes and presentation.
