The rice is small as those where more specialised types of rice and you would only need bit. Chutney is sort of just jam. Marmite is eaten on toast with butter. Marmalade is a jam made of citrus fruits. Rapeseed is from a yellow flower, it is also known as canola. British people do like their pies. The corned beef is used for sandwiches and the use of the preserved lemon is one of the greatest mysteries of the world.
You eat chutney with savoury foods so perhaps with cheese or curries or accompanying a roast dinner.
So, Rapeseed oil is basically Canola oil – when you're driving through the UK and see all these bright yellow fields…that'll be Canola/Rapeseed. Chutneys are derived from Indian cuisine and are usually served as accompaniments for Curries or similar dishes. We do love preserving things in jars here in the UK. At certain, seasonal times, of the year, you can find Venison/Pheasant in supermarkets too, packaged similar to the ducks (and usually the same company).
Salt beef pairs wonderfully with a Pale Ale and a cheese board.
You got the wrong trolley. The bigger ones would've been nearby somewhere (and you likely saw other people using them). Those are just for people who might find carrying a basket difficult, or someone who isn't doing a full week's shoppping trip.
Try some English mustard. A nice big spoonful with some meat, pork usually. As your eyes start to water, remember the stereotype of British food being bland.
Good grief.
you found the Marmite (that has the Royal Warrant, clearly the Royal family loves it)
us Brits loooooooooooove Chutney, largely due to the Indian food that has been imported, its basically a dip, i love Mango Chutney to dip poppadum's into
we love Corned Beef, its for sandwiches as you say, the quality varies from store to store, ideally it wants to have alot of beef and some gelatine in the ingredients
i see you at M&S a very posh store, higher prices but very very good quality food
We call what you call "a cart", "a trolley" or a "shopping trolley".
Up until relatively recently we used to have milk delivered to our doors in pint bottles. Some people still have home deliveries. The bottles were glass and were returned, sterilised and re-used.
Chutney, was originally a pickle made in India. It is eaten with curry in India. British people who lived in India, during the period when it was part of the British Empire, loved it and that's how it became widely used here, it's not just used with curry in the UK we also have it with cheese on sandwiches or as a side dish/dip with salad. Vegemite, is actually the Australian version of Marmite. Marmite was the first yeast extract to be made.
Grape seed is not the same as rape seed. In the UK if you visit in late spring to early summer you will see a lot of fields with yellow flowers, that's rape seed.
Try English mustard and compare it with French and American.
The American oddballs calling British produce Weird .
I'm a real advocate for childbirth, even if the children are teenagers.
I can't stand Ox Tongue! The mouth feel is a little slimey for my liking – a tongue sandwich is the only sandwich that licks you back!!!!
Don't know where you (and some of the commenters here,) get the idea that marmalade is always made with either oranges of lemons! There are grapefruit marmalades, lime marmalades and marmalades made from various other fruits. In fact originally, marmalade was made from quinces, ('marmelada' is the word for 'made from quinces' – look it up!)
Even game birds are available in certain supermarkets. I used to like wild pigeon (wood pigeon,) which was very hard to come by. I used to rely for mine on a workmate of my sister's who went out shooting at weekends; (I just used to know him as 'the man with the shotgun'!)
Pigeon breast is a very rich, strong flavoured meat, but it's incredibly difficult to cook. First, if it's wild pigion, you have to be prepared to finding the odd lead shot in there when you're preparing it, and There are very narrow margins between it being undercooked, perfectly cooked and overcooked – if you don't cook it long enough it has the consistency of wet rubber, a few seconds longer and it's cooked perfectly – rich flavoured and tender, but then overcook it for just a few seconds more and it's as if you're eating liver!
Are they drunk?
I think you will find the food healthier over here. A lot less sugar and additives
Scotland is part of Britain
You don’t eat Christmas pudding cold
This reminds me of when TISWAS children's programme was launched on the 1970's UK. A chaotic assault on the media of the age, but utterly enjoyable and thoroughly watchable. Quite simply brilliant !
It's taken a couple of years to come across your channel and I can't wait to dive in and see how far you take us.
Where I live in the east of England, during the late Spring, many of our local farmers fields are a sea of yellow. This is the annual crop of Rapeseed, usually for producing cooking oil.
Will there be a new video on Friday?
