Just stumbled in lol! Subbed. This was cool. Can't go myself but it's a dream. Do you do food tours of your country as well? Would love to see that! Thank you!🍱🍽🇬🇧😀
Sorry but normally the Bacon Butty is not served on toast but Buttered Bread or Bread Rolls. Touch of Ketchup and a little English Mustard. Fish and English Chips (Not those horrible Fries. Originally it was just the Fish and Chips with or without Salt and/or Vinegar. The Mushy Peas were added later. These days many people have Curry Sauce rather than the Mushy Peas. It was originally a cheap family meal for the working class. If ordered at a restaurant you would probably get Tartar Sauce and a wedge or 2 of Lemon. I think you went to a Curry House? Most people think it was the Indian people who invented it. The original was from India back in the times of the British Commonwealth. Were the British often had Kedgeree for breakfast Flaked Haddock and Rice in a Curry Sauce. The British brought it back to England on the long boat journeys where it was used to disguise the taste of meat going off. I have no idea why they took you to a Beigal Shop because they are a Jewish food but they gave you Beef in a normal Bread Roll. Beigels are Bread Rolls with a hole in it which defeats the object of putting it into a Bread Roll where the filling can fall out?
My wife & I just came back from a month in the UK (August) and barely touched the surface of what it has to offer ! Planning to go back in a few years and fill in the missing pieces based on your vids !! Can't wait to watch more of them ! Onya guys !
That's great news, definitely a lot more to explore in the UK - seems like theres so many spots that have never been on our radar either and have jumped up the list!
That was my first thought when I saw the fish! And I'm in Zone 8. But the North is a bit of a trek for most, better to fly into London Southend and get a decent meal in Southend on Sea. They say it's a London airport, but it is in Essex!
It doesn't matter where he's from the best is definitely from the north. The only good fish and chips I've had down south was in Margate/Ramsgate. They were just as good as any up north but that's the only place they were any good. The chippy we went to in Hastings used not only Ross frozen fish fillets, but frozen chips aswell for fucks sake. There's no excuse for that. Especially when it cost 8 quid for fish and chips. Scarborough had the biggest portion, a piece of cod bigger than an A4 sized sheet of paper with enough chips to sink an army was £7. Whitby, Cleethorpes, mablephorpe and Blackpool all have amazing quality too. Inland the chippys are amazing up north too. Sheffield, Doncaster, Newcastle, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Manchester, Derby, even throughout Scotland and Wales, they all have chippys that piss all over London chip shops. Even the shittest chippys up north beat London's best. It's a shame because it never used to be like that. Everywhere had good chippys

I've had fish and chips in Whitby that tasted like oily slop and I've had fish and chips from a van, on a campsite, near Hemingford Abbots - miles from the sea, down south - and they were superb! In days gone by, before refrigeration and before vehicles which could bring fish from the coast to a plate within two hours, then yes, the coast was the only place you could get decent fish and chips. These days, it's all about the batter recipe; the double/triple dipping of chips; the quality, cleanliness and temperature of the oil (or dripping - my personal preference); the quality of the fish and the right kind of potatoes. It has NOTHING to do with geographical location. PS. enjoyable vid, people.
As always guys, a beautifully shot video. You really captured the atmosphere of that area of London. The bread and butter pudding made me smile - my grandmother used to make an awesome one and explained to me that they used to eat it when she was young because it was cheap to make in the days when there was no welfare state (1920s). Your vlogs are one of the quality moments in my day :)
Hi there, I am in Thailand partially inspired by your videos. I loved this vlog, I lived in London for years but never did anything like this, it was amazing! I am not sure how long you will be in the UK but if you get the time please go to Manchester (my original home city) & do the curry mile in Rusholme. Google it & you will see how unique it is... I am not sure if you can do a food tour but it will be worth the visit. If you do get to Manchester check out Deansgate, the Northern Quarter & other super cool areas of the city. Do Browns for breakfast (My shout).. Now for the big one. If you want to go to see a live football game let me know & I will sort you out for Manchester United tickets!!!
Hey Paul - would have loved the chance to get out of London a bit deeper but didnt really have the time... we just arrived in Berling actally! Would have loved to see a football game though, we've been monitoring the games as we travel to see if we can cross paths with something, anything, to see what its all about.
It used to be 1pound for fish and 50p for chips when I was growing up(20years ago). Now next to me it is £5 fish, £2 chips. Big increase but still one of my favourite meals. Gotta have mushy peas&curry sauce to which is another2quid so its a treat nowadays!
@@philabrahams383 I know but they have gone up in price way out of proportion for what little spending money you have left after paying yr bills. I'm not bitchin? I(well a little bit I guess☺)
Amazing how you had a food tour with Craig with who I used to work with in Portugal. You should consider visiting Portugal while you are in Europe. If you need tips feel free to contact me.
This is one of the things i love when travelling... EATING! Great to found a travel couple like you guys! Happy to be here in your channel! Can't wait to travel too in London and feature it in our vlog. But I heard the Big Ben is under reno? so i think we just have to wait for that
Nice Vlog. The flow of the video and the sound and pictures are clear. Just one feedback: it will be good if you could have subtitles of the name of the restaurants and street names. This will help people like me to locate some of the restaurants.
Great vid! IMHO the best time to visit Brick Lane is on a Sunday morning/lunchtime as the road gets closed and is filled with "street food" from all over the world.
Hey C A, too kind! Our camera is here on Amazon- geni.us/ourcamera but you can always check our equipment and full travel gear on our site- danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Amazing video!! Really love your content, you're already an inspiration to me. I'm from the Netherlands and decided to make videos on TH-cam in English. I lived in London and made a lot of videos. I make a lot of travel videos as well. Love, Fleur
How can it be cold in London ? I'm near the sea in the North of UK and I just come back from Thailand where is so hot than ever . Stay and enjoy our summer !! Hope you enjoyed the food !!
Spotslfields was , ss you say, a gigantic burial ground for the (Hosp-ital), especially during the plague. A huge construction project in the neighborhood has been put on hold so that over 40,000 skeletons and coffins can be recovered professionally . The project employs over 100 archaeologists and will take two years.
Brought back a lot of memories of our time in London last October. We shared one of those bagels! Loved Brick Lane. The food tour looked great we did the same companies one in Rome - fabulous 😊
Should of tried our main traditional meal, the Sunday roast, would of blown all that food you tried out of the water, all the country pubs do the best roast dinners
Fish & Chips as I remember it 60 years ago, was always served in greaseproof paper pouches then placed in newspaper. Just newspaper could not withstand the grease and vinegar as the paper would get wet and shred.
Fish and chips isn't as popular as it used to be as fish especially cod has shot up in price. Best place to get it is on the coast not London. I understand that people want to visit the capital but do yourself a favour and visit further north or further south the true England.
@@joanneball8941 That's cos none of the cooks are British. You need to know where to go in London to get good fish & chips, most are very poor imitations of the real thing.
@@stevenkaye7096 Have to say the main Poppies in Hanbury St has never let me down. It is if course a joke pricewise (i.e. tourist trap prices) but i've had some of the best fish and chips ever there at times (east londoner myself). The sausage in batter i think gets near a fiver but by god it's miles ahead of any to be found elsewhere. Kennedy's in Streatham Hill is my other go to for fish and chips in fact everything from kennedys is amazing esp. also bangers n mash. Edit. just checked and that sausage in batter is an eye-watering £6.90 so it would want to be pretty fking epic to be fair.
@@DanegerAndStacey Hello dear, My name is PROTNO ISLAM and iam a freelancer. iam watching your youtube videos.Your youtube videos are much better😍, but i think your thumbnails should be better. I can make better quality thumbnails for your youtube videos. The better your TH-cam videos and thumbnails, the more people will watch your videos💯
That is a real stingy portion of fish & chips. Mushy peas aren't really a London thing, it's more of an "oop north" thing as is gravy on the chips! If you visit London I'd recommend a small chain in SW London called Superfish, they cook it properly in beef dripping and it tastes great.
That bacon Butti looked kind of short on bacon. Not a good bread to meat ratio, however that bagel with the corned beef looked like a more generous serve...
Love this video ❤ its so weird seeing you in warmer clothes haha I am so used to seeing you in tank tops and summer shirts 🤣 enjoy Europe and always stay safe ✈✈✈ love u both
Mate to put it lightly there are strong similarities with New Zealand in the culinary sense as the food in New Zealand up to probably the 1960’s correct me if I’m wrong was very British as New Zealand was a British dominion so traditional Anglo Saxon fair like roast dinners, steamed puddings with custard and fish and chips but to a certain extent it is nice that both have progressed in the culinary sense as the food in those days was simple and not packed full of flavour. Btw great vid guys.
I'd love to travel but I cant walk far or stand long....severe back bone injury put me in an electric wheelchair an arm damage from kidney fistula surgeries,could you also give advice on how places are to get around as far as those who are disabled? Makes me fear traveling abroad.
Hey Joan - honestly the majority of major cities around the world are wheel chair accessable. Places in Asia we visit are not so much, they're less developed and aware of how to be accessable.
Mim Moon The Cooks in the cut behind Waterloo station closed about 15 yrs ago even though there were huge queues at lunchtime. Apparently the younger members of the family would not take it on.
English roast dinner / Sunday lunch / carvery? This is one of the most classic, delicious meals in England. Roast meat, roast potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, gravy etc....
And before Poppies starts - you can get the most authentic pizza, from the home of pizza, where I live, the street food of the people, made by locals/for the people, everything strictly controlled, all locally sourced, sold to the people - for £3.23
Hey Bagusti Yudi - our camera is here on Amazon- geni.us/ourcamera but you can always check our equipment and full travel gear on our site- danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Thanks, good video and narration. But the "thumping music filler" is too loud. I have to lower it but then the narration then becomes too soft. So, up and down goes the volume control. Please turn the "music" softer please. Thanks!
😂 Look, we made this video over 3 years ago and have learned a lot since then. Watch one of our newer vids and it will be a lot easier on your ears. Thanks for the constructive feedback 😊
I wish I could eat that stuff. I'm afraid I can't. My digestive system won't let me. I wouldn't mind, my mum used to work in Brick Lane a long time ago before we moved to Australia back in 1965. It's changed a bit since then.
This vlog made me so hungry!! Love the fish and chips, and the salted beef sandwich. The word GHERKIN (Pickle) sounds weird. It sounds like an affliction. "My doctor gave me some antibiotics to treat my gherkin."

Fish and chips in London is ALWAYS third rate. head for the coast and head north for decent fish and chips.
Let me guess. You live in the north.

-Chiswick House - a Palladian Villa with lavish 17th/18th century interiors, and tranquil gardens,
-The many ‘Baroque’ churches of London (other than St. Paul’s Cathedral) e.g ‘St Mary Le Strand’,
-The hidden ‘medieval’ religious buildings e.g ‘St Bartholomew-the-Great church’, or non-religious buildings e.g ‘Westminster Hall’ (finished in 1097),
-Another great painted ceiling in London (albeit much smaller than those in Greenwich) can be found in the ‘Banqueting House, Whitehall’, painted by Rubens,
-Some of the surviving great houses of London such as ‘Syon House’ (with its incredible 18th century Neo-Classical Robert Adam interiors), ‘Ham House’ (such a rare 17th century survival), or some of the mansion houses such as ‘Spencer House’ or ‘Apsley House’.
*I realise you’ve visited some of these places, but I thought I’d leave them in for reference.*
I've had fish and chips in Whitby that tasted like oily slop and I've had fish and chips from a van, on a campsite, near Hemingford Abbots - miles from the sea, down south - and they were superb!
In days gone by, before refrigeration and before vehicles which could bring fish from the coast to a plate within two hours, then yes, the coast was the only place you could get decent fish and chips.
These days, it's all about the batter recipe; the double/triple dipping of chips; the quality, cleanliness and temperature of the oil (or dripping - my personal preference); the quality of the fish and the right kind of potatoes. It has NOTHING to do with geographical location.
PS. enjoyable vid, people.
Wonderful camera work! Incredibly sharp! Vey well done! Thank you!
Appreciate that, thanks Paul
So great you guys found London street art. There are guides in London who do tours ONLY of that !! Well done. You showed all sides of London.
We heard about those, what an awesome idea!
As always guys, a beautifully shot video. You really captured the atmosphere of that area of London. The bread and butter pudding made me smile - my grandmother used to make an awesome one and explained to me that they used to eat it when she was young because it was cheap to make in the days when there was no welfare state (1920s). Your vlogs are one of the quality moments in my day :)
So nice to hear, Rex! Bread and butter pudding definitely has been reinvented now, its a story from rags to riches!
I used to have a stall in Spitalfields selling photos, there used to be two 5 a side football pitches in the old market as well.
Interesting stories!!!
Really enjoy your food tours😆
I can't wait to try when I go and visit England😣
Hi there, I am in Thailand partially inspired by your videos. I loved this vlog, I lived in London for years but never did anything like this, it was amazing! I am not sure how long you will be in the UK but if you get the time please go to Manchester (my original home city) & do the curry mile in Rusholme. Google it & you will see how unique it is... I am not sure if you can do a food tour but it will be worth the visit.
If you do get to Manchester check out Deansgate, the Northern Quarter & other super cool areas of the city. Do Browns for breakfast (My shout).. Now for the big one. If you want to go to see a live football game let me know & I will sort you out for Manchester United tickets!!!
Hey Paul - would have loved the chance to get out of London a bit deeper but didnt really have the time... we just arrived in Berling actally! Would have loved to see a football game though, we've been monitoring the games as we travel to see if we can cross paths with something, anything, to see what its all about.
THANKS! Now I have some few ideas for some foods choices when I convince my family to go to London
It used to be 1pound for fish and 50p for chips when I was growing up(20years ago). Now next to me it is £5 fish, £2 chips. Big increase but still one of my favourite meals.
Gotta have mushy peas&curry sauce to which is another2quid so its a treat nowadays!
Try to remember that the rents have gone up as well. That's why fish and chips now cost so much.
@@philabrahams383 I know but they have gone up in price way out of proportion for what little spending money you have left after paying yr bills.
I'm not bitchin? I(well a little bit I guess☺)
Amazing how you had a food tour with Craig with who I used to work with in Portugal. You should consider visiting Portugal while you are in Europe. If you need tips feel free to contact me.
This is one of the things i love when travelling... EATING! Great to found a travel couple like you guys! Happy to be here in your channel! Can't wait to travel too in London and feature it in our vlog. But I heard the Big Ben is under reno? so i think we just have to wait for that
Thanks guys. Yeah Big Ben is a big let down right now, full of scaffolding sadly. Enjoy your trip anyway, still an epic place to explore :)
Big Ben is under construction until 2021.These things have to be repaired.
Correction Elizabeth tower . THE BELL IS BIG BEN .
Nice Vlog. The flow of the video and the sound and pictures are clear. Just one feedback: it will be good if you could have subtitles of the name of the restaurants and street names. This will help people like me to locate some of the restaurants.
Great vid! IMHO the best time to visit Brick Lane is on a Sunday morning/lunchtime as the road gets closed and is filled with "street food" from all over the world.
Thats a great piece of advice, next time we're in town we'll make sure to visit then!
I would go there on a monday night when it's raining - that's when you see the real brick lane with it's local people.
You are in the backyard of Captain Cook by the way if you didn't know guys. He lived in the East End just up the far end of Brick Lane.
Hi your channel is I love watching you. greetings from Poland
My goodness! That quality! What camera are you guys filming with in this video? Beautiful shots :)
Hey C A, too kind! Our camera is here on Amazon- geni.us/ourcamera but you can always check our equipment and full travel gear on our site- danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Awesome food tour ! All the food looked really yummy! Thanks for sharing guys. I love the bow and arrows on the opposite building lol
fish and chips is always better near the sea :)
Looks delicious! We love London, and they do have a pretty epic food scene. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels.
So much diversity there! Enjoy
So enjoying your vids guys - so passionate & refreshing !!! Keep up the good work !!
Thanks for taking the time to go back over some of the older ones as well, Robert! We appreciate your kind words as well.
Amazing video!! Really love your content, you're already an inspiration to me. I'm from the Netherlands and decided to make videos on TH-cam in English. I lived in London and made a lot of videos. I make a lot of travel videos as well. Love, Fleur
I live 45mins from London & even i have learnt of some new places to visit!
Really? Yay, thats nice for us to know we could share that with you - enjoy
It’s awesome to watch this video… thank’s for sharing it. Best regards…. Fully watched and subscribed…
Thank you so much 👍
How can it be cold in London ? I'm near the sea in the North of UK and I just come back from Thailand where is so hot than ever . Stay and enjoy our summer !! Hope you enjoyed the food !!
Loved the food! Didnt enjoy the weather haha, we're actually in Germany now and its much warmer :)
stacey has such gorgeous facial features, I cant get over it, but good tour guys, good video
Spotslfields was , ss you say, a gigantic burial ground for the (Hosp-ital), especially during the plague. A huge construction project in the neighborhood has been put on hold so that over 40,000 skeletons and coffins can be recovered professionally . The project employs over 100 archaeologists and will take two years.
Thanks guys going to put that tour on my lists of things to do, when we are in London..
Glad to hear Dave! You'll love it
Guys don’t forget to visit Trafalgar Square,Camden market,soho,Covent garden,embankment and many more.
Joe Blow it’s not too bad nowadays
Brought back a lot of memories of our time in London last October. We shared one of those bagels! Loved Brick Lane. The food tour looked great we did the same companies one in Rome - fabulous 😊
Thats awesome Karen! How was the tour in Rome?
Daneger and Stacey it was really great from wine to pasta to gelato - happy days 😊
Love food tours! You learn so much more than about food. Yum!
Exactly! Theres so many other little bits of info and details you find out, plus loads of awesome food, can't beat them!
Amazing food
If you cook,traditional English food isn't complicated and most ingredients are easy to find.
Biegel Bake is delicious...go there so often when I’m in the area
Just watched a couple of American vloggers butcher some of the same stops. Your vlog is greatly superior.
Haha thats the best compliment we've had all day, thanks Charles!
Based only on food, I’m not rushing to London. I’ll go for a good croissant or an eclair in Paris! But thanks, good vlog, and nice company
Loved the video - I'm def going to do the tour in Blighty, those bagels OMG !!
It was still cold in London I see...nice footage of the food...can't wait to see Berlin..
Yup, so cold!! In Berlin now and its warmer and amazing! Next vlog is from here
I imagine it was winter
We had such a great summer in London.
They've done up Brick Lane since I was a child. The Truman brewery is still going.
Looks like its changed a lot in the last 5 years or so!
I hope you had a look around SoHo while you were there.
What a lovely, fun, cute and loving couple!
Thank you so much ❤️
My Mum used to make a brilliant Bread and Butter Pudding.
Thats the good stuff, bet hers was better than any store bought one!
Should of tried our main traditional meal, the Sunday roast, would of blown all that food you tried out of the water, all the country pubs do the best roast dinners
Very true - a good English roast is unbeatable
Thank you. Very beautiful ☺💕💕
Beigel Bake! The ultimate! if the mustard aint making you cry then there's not enough haha
Haha I was pretty shocked at the spice
Apples and pork? A CLASSIC combo!
Absolute classic
Been here for 23 yrs but still not visited spitalfields.😃 i still like fish n chips in wax paper not newspaper and nice to add vinegar on fish....
Ah we're definitely not British enough, the vinegar thing is not our taste at all!
Fish n chips always tastes better by the sea,...if you can put up with the pesky seagulls!
Fish & Chips as I remember it 60 years ago, was always served in greaseproof paper pouches then placed in newspaper. Just newspaper could not withstand the grease and vinegar as the paper would get wet and shred.
Fish and chips isn't as popular as it used to be as fish especially cod has shot up in price. Best place to get it is on the coast not London. I understand that people want to visit the capital but do yourself a favour and visit further north or further south the true England.
Poppies is nowhere close to the best .
Shaun foley right. Londoners can’t cooks chips
sean o foley..........
@@joanneball8941 That's cos none of the cooks are British. You need to know where to go in London to get good fish & chips, most are very poor imitations of the real thing.
@@stevenkaye7096 Have to say the main Poppies in Hanbury St has never let me down. It is if course a joke pricewise (i.e. tourist trap prices) but i've had some of the best fish and chips ever there at times (east londoner myself). The sausage in batter i think gets near a fiver but by god it's miles ahead of any to be found elsewhere. Kennedy's in Streatham Hill is my other go to for fish and chips in fact everything from kennedys is amazing esp. also bangers n mash.
Edit. just checked and that sausage in batter is an eye-watering £6.90 so it would want to be pretty fking epic to be fair.
Just found your channel. Love your personalities and great info
Happy you found us, thanks!!
Each to their own the secret is always go when there's a queue so it's all fresh . Still can't fathom poppies though .
Those are London meals not Meals you Will find in other parts of the uk as most regions have their own food like Wales and Scotland
We've traveled (and filmed) in a lot more of the UK and more around England since this video and tried a lot of them
@@DanegerAndStacey Hello dear, My name is PROTNO ISLAM and iam a freelancer. iam watching your youtube videos.Your youtube videos are much better😍, but i think your thumbnails should be better. I can make better quality thumbnails for your youtube videos. The better your TH-cam videos and thumbnails, the more people will watch your videos💯
London is so pretty! Please send some of that bread pudding for me.
Ok - its on the way!
There is a difference between bread pudding and bread and butter pudding. Check out with a Briton (We're not Brits)
@@kenhunt9434 I will do that for sure.
That is a real stingy portion of fish & chips. Mushy peas aren't really a London thing, it's more of an "oop north" thing as is gravy on the chips! If you visit London I'd recommend a small chain in SW London called Superfish, they cook it properly in beef dripping and it tastes great.
It's all about frying in beef dripping rather than vegetable oil used in the South!
Andrew Law I’ll be in London in June of ‘20, I’m going to take your word for it about Superfish, the one in Ashtead will the most convenient for me
An interesting video made me hungry.
Thank you 😋
I really enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes
Thank you so much for your reply it will help me make my bucket list travel plans
You're welcome Joan, enjoy your travels!
That bacon Butti looked kind of short on bacon. Not a good bread to meat ratio, however that bagel with the corned beef looked like a more generous serve...
Definitely mate! A bit short on the ol bacon on that one huh
Love this video ❤ its so weird seeing you in warmer clothes haha I am so used to seeing you in tank tops and summer shirts 🤣 enjoy Europe and always stay safe ✈✈✈ love u both
Thats how we feel! Especially with how many layers we're actually wearing under those coats haha! We just landed in Berlin, much warmer here.
Mate to put it lightly there are strong similarities with New Zealand in the culinary sense as the food in New Zealand up to probably the 1960’s correct me if I’m wrong was very British as New Zealand was a British dominion so traditional Anglo Saxon fair like roast dinners, steamed puddings with custard and fish and chips but to a certain extent it is nice that both have progressed in the culinary sense as the food in those days was simple and not packed full of flavour. Btw great vid guys.
I hope you enjoyed the fush and chups. ;)
Hahahah
Nice Sharing👍🏻🤗💕💕💕💕
Thank you 🤗
The food looks delicious. How long did you have to wait for the bagel? Must be really nice for the queue and crowd that was there.
That was the great thing about the food tour, you arrive, sit down (or stand for the bagel) and the food is there within 5 minutes!!
Nice you guys didnt have to wait
I really enjoyed the video ! Good images ! Congrats !!
Appreciate it, thanks
Bacon sandwich looks great!
I'd love to travel but I cant walk far or stand long....severe back bone injury put me in an electric wheelchair an arm damage from kidney fistula surgeries,could you also give advice on how places are to get around as far as those who are disabled? Makes me fear traveling abroad.
Hey Joan - honestly the majority of major cities around the world are wheel chair accessable. Places in Asia we visit are not so much, they're less developed and aware of how to be accessable.
Try a little bakery called greggs they will not disappoint
wow.. interesting food. look special food
Every food looks delicious
It was!
You guys are my new favorite!
Ahh how nice! Thanks for watching
......hello guys.....glad to see Stacey back on the saddle again.... on with the adventure......:)
I'm happy as well! Videos arent the same with out her :)
Really great tour you went on! I just having a hard time getting use to you guys in coats instead of tank tops. Still great though!
So are we Robert!!
No Traditional East London Pie and Mash with Liquor and Jellied eels
Sadly not! Next time we'll hunt it out ourselves
luminor007 Fuck off! You have no idea, none at all, you vapid waste of space.
Mim Moon The Cooks in the cut behind Waterloo station closed about 15 yrs ago even though there were huge queues at lunchtime. Apparently the younger members of the family would not take it on.
They missed a trick with no pie and mash - ridiculous from the tour company
@@annother3350 ...............brexit pie has no meat.
I lived in a street behind BrickLane I love my East End.
Wow - so many temptations living that close to Brick lane!
English roast dinner / Sunday lunch / carvery? This is one of the most classic, delicious meals in England.
Roast meat, roast potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, gravy etc....
And before Poppies starts - you can get the most authentic pizza, from the home of pizza, where I live, the street food of the people, made by locals/for the people, everything strictly controlled, all locally sourced, sold to the people - for £3.23
Daniel wellington store ! Is that the best you found in spite fields - tells a lot
Piss off. It was an example. We don’t even own watches.
Nice video, may I know what kind of the gear u used for this video?
Hey Bagusti Yudi - our camera is here on Amazon- geni.us/ourcamera but you can always check our equipment and full travel gear on our site- danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Cool couple 👍🏽
Thanks
Being an EatEnder loved your vid.
I am new friend. I very enjoy your video
Thanks and welcome
Thanks, good video and narration. But the "thumping music filler" is too loud. I have to lower it but then the narration then becomes too soft.
So, up and down goes the volume control. Please turn the "music" softer please. Thanks!
😂 Look, we made this video over 3 years ago and have learned a lot since then. Watch one of our newer vids and it will be a lot easier on your ears. Thanks for the constructive feedback 😊
I wish I could eat that stuff. I'm afraid I can't. My digestive system won't let me. I wouldn't mind, my mum used to work in Brick Lane a long time ago before we moved to Australia back in 1965. It's changed a bit since then.
£13.95 for a small portion of fish without chips at Poppies, it seems like a tourist trap
Anyone who can get 100+ likes with no idiot disliking their vid is AWESOME. Good looking kai. Have fun.
Tu meke!! Thats pretty awesome actually
Have you two ever heard of Joel and Lia? You remind me of them.:)
Wonder where they are going to chic out next?
English cuisine was the joke of the world in the 70/80’s but now it’s up as one of the best
I wouldn't say that fish and chips is the UK's national dish anymore it's definitely curry I would say
you guys look great together, very good looking and lovely couple, love from India , subscribed
Nice video, funny haha!
This vlog made me so hungry!! Love the fish and chips, and the salted beef sandwich. The word GHERKIN (Pickle) sounds weird. It sounds like an affliction. "My doctor gave me some antibiotics to treat my gherkin."
Hahaha I'm addicted to gherkin, that sounds like I need to go to AA or something
I don't know how you managed to get all that food in, in such a short time.
Such a delicious vlog!😎
GOOD VIDEO
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks!
THANKS, Michael!
