Hope you are enjoying the UK! Thanks for being nice about the food - I feel like our food is so underrated and a lot of people dont get it is meant to be just pure comfort food to help us get through the 250 days of rain 🌧 ☔ 🥧
We enjoyed London alot and wished we spent more time there!!! Haha the food was fantastic. It was also cool having some similar food on the other side of the word since we also live in New Zealand!!
This is what I love about this channel -- the tidbits of history here and there! I know that the siblings are really exposed and interested to such. Kudos to mom and dad for this upbringing!
The UK gained a bad rep for food during WWII when Hitler was sinking supply boats and the UK had rationing. Traditionally the UK has the best desserts in the world though. The sticky toffee puddings, rhubarb/apple/blackberry and pear crumbles, Eton mess, jam roly-poly and many others beat most of the anaemic desserts in continental Europe. British food is hearty and that is necessary for the climate. The desserts are world-class though and probably only seriously rivalled by Germany's Black Forest Gateaux. I prefer the Mediterranean diet for my starters and main course but for dessert give me a British pudding always.
How many of those artefacts that are in the British museum that were found years ago when most of the country’s that they came from had no interest whatsoever in them would no longer exist had they not ended up in the British museum ,I wonder.
The thing is with the British museum is its great because each artifact gets viewed by essentially millions of people. depending which year its about Six million visitors a year. If all the stuff was returned to the origin they would almost certainly get viewed by less people. Chinese museums get nothing like the same attendance figures. Only the US and France have similar attendances. They shouldn't give a single thing back IMO.
Those bangers and mash are making my mouth water. 13 pounds though, that would be like NZ$26 for 2 sausages and mash potato......I thought a bit pricey. Great food i have to say. Thanks for sharing.
It's in the most touristy part of London. I hate to think what the restaurant's monthly rent is, but probably about 90% of the cost charged to the customer. Cost of ingredients £1, wages and fuel, £1, rent £11. I used to work in that part of London, so I knew places where you could eat for about 20% of that price, with better food.
Elgin paid the legal owners of the marbles [the Ottoman Empire], 35 thousand quid for them. They still have the receipt. No one "took" or "stole" anything. And as for "the Greeks" wanting them back, the people who now occupy that country have virtually no genetic connection the the people who carved them.
Yes, many things in the British Museum are stolen, however they were one of the few civilisations that had the money and expertise to catalogue, study and look after the artefacts. Now that some of those other countries have the facilities to store and maintain the items, they want them back. There are a few countries that don't have those facilities and just want some of the jewels and things back because they are valuable and they can resell them and make money. The most important thing is that the artefact can be cared for and used for the furtherment of science, history and education.
Very nice vid, I was STARVING looking at you eat those sandwiches! hope you hade nice time, well, you looked like you did, I just cannot place your accent? sounds vaguely American but I don't think so, you are very correct in how you speak English, which is nice.
The bacon/sausage/eggs etc is not our daily diet unless you are a labourer and need the calories. We tend to eat it at weekends as a treat. Perhaps another mid-week sometimes. We tend to grill rather than fry these days.
The cabbie shelters were brought in to stop them from hanging around in pubs and getting drunk. And if you ever get the chance go for an English Breakfast at E Pellicci, it's amazing there both the food itself and the atmosphere
If those exhibits didn't get put into the British museum, Would they openly exist today for you to look at. Thinking back to other country's may have sold , Or the leaders may have secretly kept them for themselves. I would give it all back to all of them. Because i know it would eventually all disappear and we would no longer have these things to enjoy, Or see the History in them. Because we know corruption and greed doesn't exist in the world, Right..
What I can’t understand about sausage and mash (no one I know calls it bangers and mash - that’s rather old fashioned) in all these London vlogs is they seem to only give you sausages, potatoes and gravy. If you order it elsewhere in the country, you get loads of vegetables too. It seems in London, you pay 3x the price for sun-par meals.
It's all according to where you go in London, go to the tourist places or the poncy places and you'll get a sub-par experience, what you really want to do is find out where all the local tradesmen and council workers go for their breakfast/lunch, that place will always be banging!
Because they mostly go to tourist traps lol. Obviously. Simplest foods for extortionate rates. Bangers and Mash depends where you're from, almost everyone I know says bangers and mash, regardless of age.
I never call them Bangers because it implies cheap and nasty sausages as the name comes from sausages with a high water content so they would spit a lot in the pan, i remember them before they upped the minimum meat content for sausages.
@@JohnSmith-ki2eq "British local tradesmen and council workers" are not exactly known for their fine culinary wisdom though. I'll stick to the Michelin guide thanks anyway.
DUDES how much food did you eat in Monster Mash? Was that two dishes each? Hahahahah! You also found some great value food, I’m a British person and I never expected to find such cheap food that was great portion sizes at the quality you had!! Love it!
Never judge the quality of our Fish & Chips by the low standards set in the south of England...they truly are garbage by comparison to Yorkshire; Lincolnshire and Scotland where they fry in beef dripping and NEVER in oil.
Fish and chips varies within town and areas- traditionally better near the sea, most cod is now sourced from Norway so that is irrelevant. As a decent cod fillet costs £5 retail, be very wary of fish and chips that is too cheap; some chippies use poor quality fish and often catfish imported from the Far East. Add the cost of staff and property, especially in cities, and it is an expensive dish.
I'm from up north. The fish and chips are no difference to what I can find in London. In fact the best fish and chips i have had have been in London and I've been to pretty much every coast in England. Too many British people think their local chippy and its mass catering products (sourced from coscto, makro etc) are somehow the best or authentic. No, be real. The food capital of the nation is going to have pretty damn good examples of one of the main national dishes. To believe otherwise is delusional. Particularly has London has great markets and access to products from around the country including some of the best fish in the world for some of the best restaurants in the world. This infrastructure and expertise simply does not exist up north. And I'm from the north.
Good shout...but dont forget the North West...home to babbies heads, Wigan kebabs, bacon and black pudding barmcakes, and smack barm pey wet....feel hungry now🥟🌮🌯🌭🍔🍖🍗🍛🍟🍲and hotpot (and scouse) and....
@@nikkihayes5411 Lancashire hot pot is a world class dish in my opinion. Super underrated. Mega flavour. If it was french people would rate is as highly as Boeuf Bourguignon.
What you didn’t probably know, is that where you were by the taxi drivers rest, was only 5 minute walk to Horse Guards, and you could have seen the house hold cavalry (red tunics) or the Life Guard cavalry. (Blue tunics, also known as the Blues and Royals).
I love a breakfast sandwich and you don't have to go to a cabbies shed in London to get one, where ever you are in the country just find an industrial estate and there will be a sandwich van ready to fill your belly.
@@locavore_eats pretty good in fact. Many short haul Brussels- several UK destinations Long haul in B-747 in economy to J’Burg, Bombay, Bangkok … Food always nice. Not nice? Heathrow. Terrible
3 hours (which is how long we spent) if you just want a casual look at it. We'd say half a day plus a food break if you really wanna stop and take everything in 😊
The US is more dangerous than most countries, ranks around 140 in the world... which shows that most of the time, you're usually alright if you keep your wits about you
Down here in Australia in our Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) is that you would Never Ever get Mushy Peas with your Fish & Chip Orders at any Chippie Shop anywhere here from places of any Towns &/or Cities all over Australia at all but the only thing you can only get is Tartare Sauce and also Vinegar and also a Slice of Lemon as well too & beside that (NOT) Only we have both Grilled Fish & Battered Fish but also these is Crumbed Fish that you can also have with your Chips & the Crumbed Fish Fillets is covered in Bread Crumbs instead of Batter of course.
Good video must say no one calls sausages bangers now that came about when they had loads of water in them. I remember manses when they had sawdust on the floors to soak up the spills bubble & squeak got it’s name from the noises it makes in the frying pan keep the videos coming 👍
Please put the mushy peas on the fish and the chips..its not actually a side it should be on every bite with your fish and chips covered in the salt and vinegar..the tarte sauce is the dip 😊 love the video tho..just know London is not actually England it may aswell be ita own country..them prices offended me..come to Lincoln and I will give you a food tour! Of Lincoln sausage and Skegness haha.
Ooh haha thanks will do that next time!!! The prices for food everywhere were indeed an absolute shock to say the least 😆 Would defs love to explore more of England some day 😊
Be realistic Lincoln isn't exactly known for its fine culinary tradition. Well there is a sausage., that's about it. No, I'll stick to London thanks anyway.
Hi guy's, listen I've given you a like because you're nice peple, but us brits are so fed up with people coming mainly from the US and all that you all show is the same thing every time, English breakfast, pie and mash, fish and chips, Sunday roast with most, please think outside the box we have such an amazing diversity of food and all cultures, it's so ridiculous that people show the same thing a hundred times over and we don't like it.
You sound ridiculous. Aren't those uniquely British foods? Why would I fly over there to eat a friggin taco? I'm in Los Angeles and will be visiting soon to admire your bland 🇬🇧 cuisine 😂
London is quite safe, 99% of visits have no issues. Like most cities there’s bad parts but you’ll have to go out of your way to get to them, far away from tourists areas.

Totally agree and they were bought and paid for, not just taken. Let Greece offer to buy them back and maybe the museum will be tempted.
