What Londoners do when they go to Brighton

We eat all the vegan food in the lanes while whining that it's still cloudy.

If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make travel vlogs of all the exciting places I visit. I started travel vlogging about 8 years ago because I wanted to see more of the world and be able to watch back some of my adventures. I also make weekly comedy videos every Sunday on my main channel usually revolving around funny differences between British vs American things! Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

It was nice to be able to see London Bridge station and go “Oh, it’s London Bridge” instead of travelling through there at rush hour and be “Ugh, it’s London Bridge”.

[@cheyennemoore8380]

This was such a cute video. Loved seeing more of you and Heather together. A very sweet couple. Definitely put a ring on it mate.

[@michaelkirk1198]

In the 60's lots of Londoners went to Brighton especially to fight, that was the time of the Mods and Rockers, Clacton and Southend were visited regularly as well

[@Efusco97]

Ooooo rings 😍

[@protocolofficer2629]

Used to be referred to as “London by the Sea!”

[@kevins2961]

The music scene in Brighton is amazing. The comparison to Newport is a good one

[@re_patel]

Ravaya are small roundish aubergines that are used to make the dish called 'aubergine ravaya'. You slice the aubergine in quarters, reaching the tip. Then you stuff the aubergines with peanuts, caramelised onion- optional, and Indian spices. Then you steam the veg in a lided pot till done, enjoy

I travel to London once a year from Canada. This year I decided to take a day trip down to Brighton while I was over there. Unfortunately I found myself very underwhelmed. I could see the charm, but I felt like it's definitely more of a summer destination rather than when I went in March. The seafront was dead, everything seemed closed down. I guess it would be a nice place to escape to for the day if you're tired of the London vibe, but I just felt like there wasn't much to do there. Good fish and chips, though!

[@xneurianx]

Terre a Terre is a baller move. Nice one!

[@paulm3033]

Better in the sunshine but like lots of places in Britain, if you like walking and enjoy exploring, a day in Brighton can be a really chilled and enjoyable experience , which is clearly what you had , I really enjoyed your video.

[@Miss_Lexisaurus]

Brighton is the LGBTQIA+ capital of England! And yet I haven't visited yet - definitely need to plan a trip!

[@ginny709]

very nice outing with you two...looking at a lot of rings? you two fit well together.......psst you can tell us later....cheers!

[@SisterMu]

I love seeing people enjoy my home town.

[@sarasate89]

Southend used to be the seaside day trip location of choice for Londoners. After watching this vlog I know why Brighton has become the destination of choice! It's like the hipstery parts of London by the sea. Southend is very dated and run down now in comparison, which is a shame as in its heydey it was fantastic.

[@royw-g3120]

Oooh as a Southend resident this hurts. We are bouncing back a bit now there is a university here.

[@Roger_Kirk]

The vodka tomatoes are certainly an experience! The food at Terre a Terre is generally great though!

[@louismiles2340]

Glad you enjoyed Brighton, Evan!

[@durabelle]

If I went to Brighton my main goal would be to spot the STORROR boys in action 😄 But it's good to know the place has other things to offer too.

[@TristanBailey]

That was the day I was on way to airport and scared of the train delays and land slide but by about 5 it was at least moving. Shame you didn’t pick another day as it got sunny by the end of the week.

[@Sophie_Cleverly]

I'm a lifelong veggie and raised by my mum who was vegetarian since the 70s. All our food was stuff like veggie sausages and quiche. It's so wild to me that people are now out here eating plant fish and vodka infused sushi tomatoes 😂

[@norules08028]

That fish plant reminded me of the ones they used to "sell" at KMart. I never saw anyone actually buy one.

[@heytalvi]

I work in Brighton but I live in the North, so only down once a month. I will say that if you've never been before, take lots of money as nothing is cheap down there. And there's nothing really to do when it rains!

[@frip1080]

In brighton we call all the londoner tourists DFLs (down from london) Also TAJ!! I fucking love taj

[@SamanthaJoe]

Yaahhhhs! Vlog couldn't of come at a better time as I'm heading to Brighton for the first time in a couple of weeks to see friends!!

[@charisse234]

You two make a beautiful couple.if heather is having her finger measured for what i think it is.then happy days 😀🎉! Positivity peace and love ♥️

[@beccaholley2893]

Fine, I'll take a trip to Brighton again 😅

[@lorna_alice]

I was in Brighton a while back for a few days, opposite end of the country to me. Done all the tourist stuff and enjoyed the break. Even done the I360. It was nice and chill.

[@nodakjak]

We'll be taking a day trip to Brighton in a couple of weeks. Cheers!

[@elise7515]

no catch co is fantastic! love it

[@Liamshavingfun]

Im not a vegan, but other than that it looked like a great time. I love the shot of you and Heather sitting down by the beach. That would be a nice print.

[@libbyford6765]

Always wish I will see you walking around Brighton lol have lived here my entire life, kinda love it 🥰

[@laineydunlap9757]

Such a fun vlog! Loved this. Ooooh rings. X) You two are so sweet.

[@tiagoferguson632]

Love it! Great video❤

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

The hair is stunning. Thank you for the video!

[@davsav]

I like Brighton.

[@DragonLordGabrielBrowncoat]

I want to know what the person did that was unacceptable on the escalator 🤔

[@evan]

They pushed the button to stop the escalator

[@gazwj]

Menkind - You don’t need anything from here… but you want it don’t you 👀

[@jmgrahit26]

Sushi is the rice, not the fish

[@johnthursfield3056]

Taj does lots of other ethnic foodstuff aside from Indian.

[@gxtastro]

The people that own the pier are trying to charge an entrance fee on top of the extortionate prices for the rides! Best tip is to avoid the pier in season...

[@lindawarren951]

Never been to Brighton

[@joshc-dev]

i love you Evan

[@keefsmiff]

Who remembers the Zap club? Full on ..Great days

[@ladylove3636]

90s Brighton was a moment in time x

[@royw-g3120]

Three years of university in Brighton was great fun. Many years later had 48 hours there with new lady love. Both equally awesome.

[@chelled.4622]

💘

[@Rogue136]

You don't like vodka and tomatos? What about a Bloody Mary or a Caesar?

[@emmie2129]

in tomato, not and tomato

[@Paul-yh8km]

How can you visit Brighton and not visit the Toy Museum under Brighton train station?????? It's literally a 1 minute walk. It's a wonderland of toys, trains, models etc

[@albiesspace]

You sir know exactly what you're doing, posting a video with fitting rings yet not explicitly saying anything about why...

[@TraceUK]

Who is that guy with you? You could’ve introduced us! ❤

[@PeterPrestonUK]

"vegan fish & chips", or to give it it's correct name... "chips"

[@chanelfitzgerald]

Vegan fish and chips? The world has finally lost the plot. Fish and chips is fish and chips.

[@Robb3636]

What's wrong with having an option for vegans? There's nothing wrong with having a food that's like fish, without having to kill any fish for it, for the people that want it. No one is forcing you to eat it. It's such an insignificant thing to be mad about

[@chanelfitzgerald]

@@Robb3636 Just rather not thank you but you do you and enjoy!

[@squattingnevil]

Sooooooo, why do they call it fish and chips when it's literally NOT fish? Its seasoned pineapple, if vegans don't want to eat real meat, that's fine, but why try and copy the real thing. Never made sense to me.

[@durabelle]

I can give you a few reasons at least. Naming veggie products with recognisable names (and shaping them accordingly) helps customers understand how to use them. For example vegan burger patties are an easy replacement for meaty versions, and the shape needs to be similar enough to fit into the buns. Often these products are also bought by people who aren't vegans or vegetarians themselves, for example parents of a vegan (like my parents when my sister's joining them for a meal), or someone having a barbeque and inviting some veggie guests, so the products have to be easy to find and use. Many vegans and vegetarians haven't been brought up as one, so they may have cravings for things like fish and chips, or family traditions like eating turkey at christmas. The veggie alternatives can often hit the same spot without going against the persons core beliefs. Many vegans have stopped eating meat for reasons other than the taste or looks after all. I'm sure there's other reasons too, but here's some to get you started. I'm not a vegan btw, just in case that makes any difference. I've just reduced my meat consumption gradually over the years and found that I actually prefer the flavour and especially structure of many veggie things over the meaty ones I used to eat. Now if I have cheat meals like nuggets or burgers they're veggie versions, but I can still cook chicken too when I specifically want to.

[@squattingnevil]

@durabelle OK, that actually makes sense. Probably the best I've heard it described. Thank you

[@stevehayward1854]

They are gay ?

[@wonderland1985]

Only Londoners go to Brighton? What London Centric nonsense is this?
