During WW1 and 2 food in Britain had to be rationed and was very basic. When large numbers of US military personnel arrived they got the impression that this was all British food was.
It is so nice to hear a foreigner FINALLY appreciate British food instead of ignorantly call it terrible without even trying it.
You are a brilliant ambassador for Britain... but Japanese. I'm confused XD
Thanks for the video, I hope you have a wonderful day!
I am amazed she hasn't been approached by the UK Government (or an agricultural body) to be such an ambassador officially.
The reputation that British cooking has for being bland stems from the period after WW2, we were on major rationing until the mid 50s and ingredients were hard to come by. The people had to make do with what they could buy or grow themselves, whilst Britain recovered its economy, rebuilding the damage to the bankrupt country at the same time as repaying the extortion costs to USA imposed with their lend lease scheme, and also rebuilding Europe, to pay for the damaged caused by the Third Reich, and the damage we caused resisting them and liberating Europe.
Compared with French food, British food was lacking a little, however, I can't think of any other nation that has superior food, and, I have travelled to many many places...
@@jasonbyrne8487 we don't drown our food with spices but try to enhance the taste with the food's natural tastes and maybe some herbs.
@@ens0246 The average Brit these days are probably first or second generation of Asian stock.
"The amount is more than enough, if you eat it alone"... this lady knows how to trifle
This is an amazing comment.
It's a breath of fresh air to hear someone talking positively about our food. I think people generally hate on it because the dishes are so simple. This means that you need good quality ingredients that are cooked well (often taking a lot of time over them) to make a good dish. Many touristy places opt for cheaper ingredients cooked quickly, which can impair the flavours and textures of the dish.
I'm yet to find a good full English at a hotel for example - the sausages are often what lets it down.
‘…hate on…?!’ That’s hardly English, more like stupid American exaggerated language, that replaces ‘dislike.’
Hope you’re doing well Shizuka, love the Content 🥺
If you enjoy rice pudding out of a tin, I definitely recommend trying a British recipe and making it yourself. My father makes rice pudding with jersey milk, which is more creamy than ordinary milk, and nutmeg. Then you bake it in the oven. It is absolutely amazing. Home-made rice pudding is on another level to tinned rice pudding.
Trifle is also very easy to make at home, and if you enjoy it, try bread pudding as well, it is similar but warm instead of cold. You serve it with cream or custard, or if you like, you could use both.
If you can't get "Jersey " milk using a tin of evaporated milk gives it that extra creaminess and "Devon" flavour.
Jersey gold top milk is the top tier. I make crème brulees with Jersey milk and (if I can get it) Jersey cream. Also bread and butter pudding. Amazing.
If you get home made rice pudding right you’ll never buy tinned again.
@@doofus4648 Or if you're as inept at cooking rice as I am, and I'm not a bad cook it's just rice that no matter what I try I just can't manage to turn it into anything except a sticky mess, then rice pudding is always the result rather than waste it. One day I may just get it right, not giving up when the only downside is rice pudding, though never made one even close to the equal of my grandmother's.
@@purpuradraco3747 buy yourself a rice cooker, you really can’t go wrong, well you can but it’s difficult to mess up with one button to press.
As a Brit who's lived in the Far East from time to time, there's always been an excitement in finding baked beans out there, even if it's usually served cold and a bit sad in small cup at a hotel breakfast buffet.
Meanwhile in the UK my Chinese partner fell in love with rhubarb, in my part of England it's very much still traditionally grown in many people's back gardens. It's a very tart, sour vegetable you cook with sugar, which makes it jolly tangy, and you mainly eat it as a pudding. My dad and her will eat bowl after bowl of the stuff.
I’m new to your content. First of all, Im so sorry to hear of your bereavement. You are a genuinely lovely person and I’m sure you are welcome wherever you go 👍. Secondly I’m not used to a positive impression of the English (I am English and trust me I bitch about us the most). You have a great positive attitude and the spirit of a true adventurer
Good to see you back 👍
Hope you're doing well! It's so nice to hear positive opinions of the UK's food, I normally only hear negative opinions about our food. I hope you keep the videos coming 😄
British food is criminally underrated. Anyone that says that it is bad has clearly never been outside London, if they’ve ever been to Britain at all
So weird that rice pudding is barely known in Japan. Great choices of food Shizuka. Happy to see you back.
But great tip that pudding rice approximates japanese rice. Not that I'll be making sushi any time soon, but you never know.
I think the bad reputation for our food mostly comes from wartime rationing, where many things weren't available. People seemed to carry on with that style of cooking until more recently, hence the poor reputation during the 50s and 60s especially. That said we do as a nation have a history of overcooking everything, especially when it comes to vegetables. Gennaro Contaldo (Italian chef) said when he came over here in the 50s/60s he worked in hospital kitchens and said the ingredients weren't the issue. There was lots of lovely, fresh produce coming into the kitchens, but they were ruined by the cooking. Our hospitals do have a particularly bad reputation when it comes to food.
But yeah, if you haven't already tried it, I would definitely recommend shepherd's/cottage pie. It's basically minced meat and veg (shepherd's is lamb, cottage is beef) topped with mashed potatoes and crisped up in the oven. It doesn't sound like much but it is truly food of the gods!
I do have an interesting fact about Yorkshire pudding. It's not always been eaten as a savory item with a roast dinner. My grandma is from Yorkshire and she says traditionally in Yorkshire it was actually eaten sweet with jam, so I guess it was intended to be an actual pudding after all.
In our house, if there were any Yorkshire puddings left over from a roast dinner, we’d have them for dessert with golden syrup 😋. I guess the ingredients is just a basic batter, that could be sweet or savoury, but there’s something special about the shape and texture of Yorkshire puds that makes them quite unique.
I love the little outtakes at the end.
Wooo steak bake from greggs! Greggs originated in my town. They were only a small local bakers when I was a child.
Corned beef ones are really good too, but are more regional I think, mostly see them here in the North East.
Sounds good! I must try it :)
What a great list! It's so nice to see someone from another culture talk about some British classic foods with such passion :) Thank you for making the video, Shizuka!
It's so good to see you back Shizuka ❤️❤️
I'm so heartened to hear that you tried different foods in the UK. They may not be as exotic as those in other countries, but they are easily available and usually easy to replicate around the world. - and there are hundreds of different things to try. - An entertaining video. TYSM. - I'm so glad you decided to continue after all you've been through. I missed your videos so much.
The tip about pudding rice as a substitute for Japanese style rice is very interesting, I'll have to remember it. I assume it goes the other way too, a Japanese person could probably make rice pudding easily enough with local rice?
Trifle is traditional around christmas here, maybe an opportunity.
Full English breakfast was traditionally eaten by farmers and labourers, who were going to go out and do a hard days work and burn those calories. Some foreigners think everyone eats that every day before they go to their office job, but that'd be a great way to get obese.
Personally I love steak and kidney pie, and most things with lamb (like shepherds pie)
I’m sure I can use Japanese rice to make rice pudding.
If you cook Japanese rice, I personally recommend using soft water. Hard water still works fine, though.
Steak and kidney pie is on my list now :)
@@shizuka7697 I really like Beef & Ale pie - especially with chips, mushy peas and thick gravy.
@@shizuka7697 I wouldn't recommend Basmati rice though. The grains are too fine. It is bound to disappoint. Good to see you back, Shizuka. 💜🤘
Dear Shizuka - it's so refreshing to find someone who likes the food we grow up with! Many foreigners from all around the world have a bad impression of English food - it has a bad reputation that is hard to dispel, but I know many people who have come to love it. I think English desserts are especially good. And all of the ones you mention are really tasty. All the best, Rob
Yes, try a delicious bread and butter pudding!!
@@ollielowe7534 Couldn't agree more, Ollie.
Bread pudding was an Army (and Navy and Air Force) common dessert, but a surprising number of my comrades moaned when the saw it. The way the services cooked it was terrific and sensibly economical.
Bread not used from the previous day was buttered, sliced into triangles, put in a tray about 2ftx1and a 1/2 x 3inches, coated with sugar and sprinkled with raisins, soaked with evaporated milk with beaten eggs,. maybe a little cinnamon or nutmeg, and placed in a ferociously hot oven until the tops were golden brown.
My regiment was a very physically active one, and consequently their daily calorie allowance was, IIRC, about 1,500 cals than most other units, and bread pudding was a frequent delight, a great easy hi-energy top-up for very fit and active young men.
Dang, my mouth is watering at the thought, I wish I's never typed this! :-)
Its great to see you back and posting. It would be great to see you return at some point, should you wish. Good luck to you.
I enjoy seeing your smiling face on my TV screen and hope to see more. 🇬🇧❤
You did not pick much that requires teeth! I would just like to point out that most British food is not so soft.
OMG, very unepxected to see you here Lindybeige!
Treacle toffee rocks.
We have been in Spain for four years now and my wife made rice pudding for the first time last week since we got here! Her favourite part is the skin that forms on the pudding in the oven. Yum! So lovely to see you again! My favourite desert is Bread and butter pudding made with amongst other ingredients, dates and brioche. You'll love it!
A good old Bacon Sandwich...shame you're back in Japan, decent bacon is really hard to get there. Its one thing I'll seriously miss when I move there in a few years. Perhaps I'll make my own.
My Japanese wife gets very tipsy when she eats my step-mum's homemade Trifle. LOL
The Meat Guy saved my ... Bacon... When I lived in Japan for meat products. Not cheap, but not very expensive. I think British style bacon was about £8 for half a kilo.
@@onchristieroad that's good to know. Many thanks.
Yes, sherry was always the magic ingredient if I recall correctly.
I was surprised to see Greggs being mentioned, mostly as I did not think savoury pastries would be to a Japanese palette. However as you like the richness of the beef and sauce, perhaps a beef casserole with dumplings might appeal.
Could some fried-up liver and bacon work for that savoury? With a bit of mash maybe.. Possibly a bit too simple - I'm a peasant, I know lol
@@rickybuhl3176 Nothing wrong with "peasant" food, mate, it's often the best food ;) As a variant to your excellent suggestion, my ex bought some kidneys instead of liver by mistake one time and didn't tell me until I'd eaten it. She often prepped while I cooked and that time she even fibbed when I mentioned this liver doesn't look quite right LOL. To be fair though, it was pretty similar in look and texture after she chopped it a bit. I've certainly had the same recipe a few times since, basically like bacon, liver and onion in gravy but switch liver out for kidney.
Mind you, when I was a kid it was a step or two less than peasant food for a year or two after my parents split up and we had next to nothing, so whatever ingredients my mum could find cheapest. We never went hungry thanks to her ingenuity. I still have a soft spot for her corned beef and potato pie, though she rarely made it again after the poverty days, for probably obvious reasons.
@@purpuradraco3747 Some great memories, lessons too. Cottage Pie and Shepherd's Pie may be more popular but I'm with you on the "Soldier's Pie", [corned] alternative. We were pretty bloody lucky all said and done..
@@rickybuhl3176 Yup, can't disagree with you on that one. There's some great food out there, not the least of which is Japanese. I was a finicky sod for a while but I'll try anything once and first time I tasted sushi I was hooked, even if UK wasabi is usually just our horse radish coloured green (it's related) while lemon chicken, definitely good. Still, our pallets get used to certain things and there is nothing like your mother's cooking, whichever country the dish originated.
Love to see you back! Hope you're well 😊
Hi Shizuka Sorry to hear about your loss, always enjoy your channel, You've got such lovely way about you really positive and amusing, all the best and hope you come back to the UK soon Jim, Surrey, UK X
Negative until they get here. Lol, good to see you well. Home made rice pudding with nutmeg is lovely.
How nice. I love how adventurous you were when over here, you have tried things I haven't and I've lived here my whole life!
My favourite from Greggs is the pizza and I would recommend everyone to try "bangers and mash" which is sausages, mashed potato, gravy and peas. So nice when it's cold and damp here.
Sounds good! Thank you for your recommendation :)
Tinned riced pudding, Greggs and full English Breakfast! Wow she went full native on this one, I'm impressed!
Btw, Yorkshire pudding IS eaten as a dessert in some parts of the UK. Often with jam! It's basically the same as pancake batter, so that's probably why it's versatile enough for either.
So great to see you back again Shizuka. Hope you are well ❤
One food that you might not realise is British is Chicken Tikka Masala. This was invented in Britain in the 1960s because, to British people, Chicken Tikka was too dry. So the Indian restaurants in Britain started serving Chicken Tikka with Masala sauce, inventing a new dish.
Some of the British pies that have mashed potato as the “crust” are very good: shepherds pie, cottage pie or fish pie.
I didn’t know that! I love Chicken Tikka Masala :)
Toad in the hole (sausages cooked inside a Yorkshire pudding) delish!
Thank you for coming back to TH-cam after your recent tragedy, I'm sure your husband would be proud of you. I love how you appreciate British culture. Stay safe my lady!
Yes! A new Shizuku video 👍
If you can get whole milk in Japan you can easily make rice pudding for yourself using Japanese rice and sugar. Home-made rice pudding is made nicer by grating nutmeg over the top before putting the pudding in the oven.
In case somebody finds this interesting, on the topic of the stereotype of British food being bad/bland, it apparently comes from the second world war, when American soldiers were stationed in the UK in preparation for the invasion of Normandy. At that time, Britain had already been strictly rationing food for many years, and more exotic foods were exceedingly rare if available at all. Compared to what the US soldiers and civilians had access to back home, the British diet was certainly perceived as more limited.
When the American servicemen returned home, they told everybody back in America that our food was bland and boring, and that idea spread worldwide as a result since the myth was perpetuated in American popular culture. Same as how many people mistakenly seem to believe that the UK is always foggy, because back before extensive CGI when Hollywood wanted to make a movie set in London, they'd set up some iron railings and a lamp post in an interior set and pump in artificial fog to obscure the background. That way they could very cheaply hide the fact that they weren't filming on location.
Kedgeree usually surprises people, as it is similar to paella and maybe not something people would expect from a British recipe. I like how simple it is to make, you can use dried mixed vegetables if you like, as well as frozen peas, and the fish could be the ready-cooked mackerel that every supermarket sells, making it very convenient and fast to cook. I like to use fried or grilled halloumi as well as/instead of the eggs, as it makes the rice nice and salty.
Thats breakfast from india when the brits had an empire.
A common expression of surprise in Australia is "Whang my donger in the kedgeree!"
Will you be coming back to the UK in the near future? You would brighten up the country with your lovely personality and sunshine smile.
Mary Berry has a very simple rice pudding recipe on TH-cam. I just used the rice I had in the cupboard. It doesn't seem to make any difference on what kind you use.
You've tried Yorkshire Puddings but have you tried Toad in the Hole? That's sausages baked in Yorkshire Pudding.
My favourite Greggs is their cheese and onion pasty. For some reason they call it a cheeses and onion bake these days.
I never eat a full English breakfast. There's far too much of it. I think they originated in roadside cafes where lorry drivers ate. They need lots of calories.
I recommend my Vegetarian bacon, egg and tomato pie. You will find lots of places where you can get bacon and egg pie but I haven't seen one just like mine.
I’m getting hungry by your comment 😋
So glad to see you back again. Hope to see many more posts in the future. 👍
You’re looking well, Shizuka.. great content and the bloopers are a nice little touch to your videos. 👌
Ganbatte ne. Deepest sympathy for your loss. It looks like you are getting back with your life. That is so nice to see. I’m grateful that you can make videos about the good things about the UK. I’m looking to move to Japan. I know the culture is completely different but I hope to make it work. Keep your TH-cam posts going they are great
Nice to see you back, Shizuka. Your videos are always so positive and enjoyable❤️
When my wife and we’re married, over 50 years ago, a traditional wedding present was a cut glass trifle bowl. Similar to Sunday Roast there is Sunday Tea where home made trifle is the dessert part. For those who didn’t have ready access to the ingredients a company called Birds made a diy version with all the basics in the packet. We still have our bowl and it gets a regular use. 😂
Trifle also ended up in Italy a few hundred years ago and they call it "Zupa Inglese" (English Soup).
I learnt something new today.
@@generaladvance5812 I heard Kingpin talk about in Daredevil too many times and looked it up.
Good stuff. Keep it up. Good to see the smiles return.
That was excellent. I loved the bloopers, very humble of you.
It is amazing what you can learn about a culture from its food.
The cheese, bean and sausage melt is my favourite at greggs! :)
Konnichi wa Shizuka Kun.Welcome back to the UK,if only in spirit.We would love to have you back here.
It's probably been mentioned already, but you should try toad in the hole. It's basically a giant Yorkshire pudding with sausages in it that you'd serve up with gravy and veg. Tasty and filling!
Sounds good 😋
I like to make my own rice pudding. Short grain rice with milk , Topped of with nutmeg on top to go brown on the skin that forms. Don't forget the sugar to add also. The rice becomes soft and mushy. One nice sweet treat. Can add jam, But sweet enough me thinks.
Lovely to see you posting again Shizuka...😊👍.
Try rice pudding baked some time. The milk on the surface caramelises, it's very nice.
You can get okay scotch broth in a tin, though of course never as nice as the real deal.
Trifle is my favourite British food as a native.
The key thing with good British food is good ingredients and cooking as it is quite simple, but done well it is sublime.
I enjoyed the video, as always.
Rice pudding baked sounds so nice! Thank you for telling me :)
@@shizuka7697 An optional extra in baked rice pudding is sultanas
Rice pudding is amazing! Hope you're doing well.
Many Japanese people think there is no good seafood in Britain. However, I was lucky enough to grow up on the Isle of Man where we had wonderful fish. We had Dublin Bay prawns, monkfish and a type of small scallop called Queenies, which had a sweetness that big scallops don't have. Herrings were delicious, either filleted, coated with oatmeal and fried in butter, or in the form of kippers (ニシンの燻製.) My Japanese wife, whose father worked in the shellfish industry, used to love the seafood there.
As for other English dishes, my wife has always loved a good fish pie (Jamie Oliver's wife has a great recipe) and a good Shepherd's pie. Among desserts she loves fruit pies and crumbles, and also fruit syllabub - a dessert made from white wine, whipped cream, sugar and fruit.
You can eat Yorkshire Pudding as a dessert. It is delicious with jam on top or golden syrup. You can make pancakes with the same mixture, just use a drop more milk to make the batter mix thinner. Your English accent is very engaging and you are as pretty as your cherry blossom.
I cook for a living and made three of the dishes you list for people at 6.30 this very morn. Sunday dinner, breakfast (so far 19 of them) and trifle. Plus 2 Chicken Teriyaki. Oh... and a cheesey chip omelette. It was fascinating to see you list including them. And the Steak Bake is something special. But do try making rice pudding from scratch. Don't follow the interweb recipies. Get an old British Cookbook and follow an old recipe. If you can't find one I'll put it up here. Nothing fancy but perfect. Especially the crust. And again... so nice to see you back on here. Those six and a half minutes brightened my day.
Here's a nice recipe of my own for bread and butter pudding.
5 medium thick slices of white bread, cut into bite sized chunks
6 large free range eggs
Enough full fat milk to cover {leave a small space at the top of a large oval pyrex dish for expansion}
A few handfuls of sultanas {try to not have them all sink to the bottom}
Two heaped dessert spoonfuls of white sugar {or stevia, if you prefer}
A good lump of butter on the top.
Put the bread chunks in first, then distribute the sultanas evenly through them.
Mix the eggs and milk, add the sugar and pour over slowly
Add the butter on top, put the lid on the pyrex bowl and cook on approximately gas mark 5
for 60 to 80 minutes until the pudding top is a light brown colour.
It's nice when still warm but I much prefer it the following day when cold from the fridge.
I'm from Wales but this is an UK wide dish, albeit the ingredients can vary a fair amount.
Some like it sweeter but you're like I am - sweet enough already. My ex might not agree !
Pro-tip: try putting some jam in rice pudding. Yum! Lovely to see you back, Shizuka, hope you are well :)
Or a spoonful of honey!
@@nickinlondon4644 omg yes! :)
Personal favourite. Strawberries and double-cream with Demerara sugar. You think it can't get any better, until you take a sip(?) of Guinness.
Bless your cotton socks Shizuka san. I'm so glad you like British food, there's so much to enjoy; regional cheeses and sausages for example. I'll eagerly await your next production... :)
Hi Shizuka, that is a lovely name! Once again, I enjoyed your video about British food. I love listening to your voice. It would be nice if you could show some of your local area in Japan and maybe some local food you enjoy. Take care… 🥴👍👀
It is nice to see you again on TH-cam Shizuka. I hope that you come back to us soon. xxx
My greggs favourite has to be sausage bean melt, beans in a pastry is so strange but so tasty!
Konichi wa, Shizuka. I'm glad I found your channel. I visited Japan in 2006. I had always wanted to go. I have been riding Japanese motorbikes since I was 16 and Japanese culture has always fascinated me. I took my family to Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Hiroshima, Miya Jima and Osaka. We travelled on the Shinkansen which was just like I imagined it would be. Extremely punctual and stopped at preceisly the required spot on the station platform (EVERY TIME!) I learned a little Japanese which was very well appreciated by the locals. Kyoto railway station is incredible. I wanted to see the Peace Dome and museum in Hoiroshima. I did not realise how big baseball is in Japan. The stadium in Hiroshima was huge. Taxi and bus drivers wearing white gloves. Everybody bowing to each other. Nobody has their bicycle stolen. A general respect for personal space (which Japanese people might find strange when English people do not display this). Very interesting. I really think that the English and Japanese have a lot in common. Island nations, wary of their much larger neighbour (Europe, China) . We both drive on the left. How does Japan get away with being so non-inclusive? There are very few Gaigins living in Japan.
The opposite to you, but now I'm in England I really miss the cheap sushi, pickles, and tempura that you could buy at the deli counters in supermarkets in Japan... getting that stuff in England is much more expensive and it's not nearly as nice... inari sushi I miss you!
I love that one of your favourite British foods is specifically from Greggs 🤣 that's the most British thing ever.
the vegan sausage roll is really good there too.
There are such misconceptions regarding UK Food, it's a rumour put around many years ago, centuries in fact. Its just not applicable in today's UK as the UK has some of the highest cuisine in the world.
Not sure I would boast about Greegs though 😂.
I have always dreamed of visiting Japan, the countryside looks so beautiful, It would, be great to see you make some videos of where you live and things japanese, I'm sure many would like to see.
Hope you are well and stay positive, if possible.
sayonara🤗
Wash your mouth! Greggs originated in my home town. First Newcastle and then the world. :-)
Good choice of dishes - my immediate reaction was the HUGE difference (to my mind) in the ones you showed from shops versus homemade... chalk and cheese!
After 10 years in Indonesia I REALLY miss rice pudding - happy to hear you got over that initial shock and enjoyed it!
What a fantastic video. Always great to hear another perspective on British cuisine.
As many others have said before, my most sincerest condolences on the passing of your husband.
Lovely video. You made me hungry just watching this show. Love rice pudding, trifle and Scotch broth. Haven't had them in awhile, not since I moved to the Southern US. Haven't had a full English in awhile and while Sunday roasts are normal for my family, we never served them with Yorkshire pudding. Anyway, lovely video and looking forward to your next one.
So glad you're back!
Sooo happy to see you shizuka.
Loved it
Great to see you back Shizuka! Glad we made some good impressions with food!
Lovely to see your smile back Shizuka
As if the Pot Noodle review wasn't enough, this lady likes a Sunday Roast, Scotch Broth and a Steak Bake.. The appreciation for British grub is great to see.
Always nice to hear complimentary comments about British food from a foreigner. Can I suggest that when your next here you try Cullen Skink which is a Scottish Fish soup made with smoked haddock, potatoes, onion with milk or cream often garnished with parsley. Delicious and the perfect comfort food on a cold winter day (or any day come to think of it🙂)
I never knew pudding rice is a good substitute for Japanese rice. Thanks for the tip!
Well I didn't expect that Shizuka, you are a Greggs fan. It's the steak bake for me too, but if it's early morning, a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea.
A properly made rice pudding should have a skin on the top after cooking, it's the best bit, we always used to argue over it in our house when I was a kid😊
Oh my! I'm missing my mom's Sunday roast. I'm Canadian, but the tradition exists here too. She struggled for years with hit and miss Yorkshire puddings. She eventually figured out that cold ingredients directly from the fridge was the problem, particularly the eggs. They are not easy to make and good ones should include praise for the chef. 👍
I'm not exactly a brilliant cook, but I gather the trick with yorkshires is that you put dripping in your baking tins and they go into a hot oven until they're almost smoking, then whip them out and pour in the batter and stick back into the oven quick as you can. If there are good yorkshires and good beef gravy about, I can forget all about the beef and the rest.
n South Wales we have our own version of Scotch Broth. We call it Cawl. It’s traditionally made with Lamb as the meat content but will have Leeks rather than onions, leeks are one of Wales’ emblems along with the daffodil.
Shizuka - you always make me smile. You have a gift and I wish you very well. I hope life is getting better now, as someone who also lost a partner. Much love from the UK - you'd be welcome any time. :-)
Lovely to see you back on TH-cam you’ve been missed, when you come back to England you need to travel to Bedfordshire and try a “Bedfordshire clanger” it’s a pastry roll with Beef, which was slowly cooked in herbs and beer at one end and the other end has a dessert of Rhubarb and Custard.
I bet you’re salivating at the thought !
Well the obvious one to try is Fish 'n' Chips. If you have a good cook the batter on the fish is almost a nice as tempura. And as you enjoy the desserts I would suggest a Summer Pudding which is made of fruit and bread. I have only found your videos today but find them very engaging. Thank you.
OMG, you're the greatest Japanese person ever! Future topics: Baked beans, Christmas pudding, mince pies, Christmas turkey dinner, custard, shepherd's pie, haggis, Mars bars
There are a few fish dishes that are popular in Britain. Kippers or smoked haddock, but there are herring in oatmeal, pickled herring in dill which make great appetizers. I kept away from the dairy versions but white fish in a cheese sauce is one of my favourites. Another one as part of a cold buffet is to line a bowl with smoked salmon slices and add haddock and Philadelphia cheese mixture to the bowl press it into the salmon, let it cool in the fridge, then bring it out put it upside down on the presentation tray garnish it with salad and cut a slice to reveal the inside. Not sure if it has a name but its great on oatmeal biscuits.
Nice to see you post again. I used to teach abroad, and Ive shared a few of your videos with my students. Your view of the UK is interesting to them.
For me, best thing about UK food is choice and variety. Even small towns have supermarkets where you can buy world food.
Macaroni pudding is made in a similar way to rice pudding, with milk and sugar, and baked in the oven. I usually overcook rice pudding so it comes out slightly brown and pretty solid so that you can slice it and eat it with your hands!
good on you for trying "black pudding". the regional difference is massive, some times, just a couple of miles, from village to village, the taste can be a "world away". big thumbs up for knowing this stuff, Shizuka. there's people in England, now, who do'nt have a clue about it.
The next time you are in Scotland please try Cullen Skink. I know it sounds like road kill but in fact it is a fish soup, with milk (your favourite) and potato. Or, since you are a fan of sweet things, toasted Selkirk Bannock with lashings of butter is a must have with a cup of tea.
Been living and working in Germany for decades now, things I really miss; full English, steak bakes, bacon, crisps, proper beer (not lager) and going to the pub for a proper Sunday lunch. Amongst others.
Things to try.
1. Liver and Onions with Bacon and green vegetables, Tatties and Neep's and Gravy
2. Chip butty with optional fried egg.
3. Scotch Eggs
4. Black Cherry and Chocolate trifle with double cream
5. Lemon Posset
6. Vintage Cheddar cheese with crackers and pickle
Bacon toastie with brown sauce, don't forget the toastie Stevie haha
@@airtrafficcontrol779 Is that with HP or Daddies ?
@@stevie8763 definitely HP but would except daddies when abroad (bacon would be dodgy though) ha
Don't think the cheese will be a go-er. Lactose intollerance is big in Japan. Don't tell Liz Truss though.

When I watch you, unlike many TH-camrs, I instantly smile and feel good. Harigato.
Hi Shizuka, Great video, love the bloopers at the end, one thing my mother used to make which you must try is Bread Pudding!
So lovely to see you back Shizuka. I had the privilege of visiting Japan in the 1990's nine times and I loved everything....except the jetlag! Japan is a remarkable country and truly believe that no nation appreciates beauty, particularly in small form as the Japanese do. I sincerely hope that with the healing of time, you may return to this equally wonderful country. All best wishes to you and thank you for your videos. Dōmo arigatō
Ps Your bloopers are fabulous!
ありがとう😊
So nice to see your happy, smiling face back on TH-cam. All the best from England:-)
Ref: the rice pudding, as kids we use to fight over the skin it formed in the serving bowl especially with the nutmeg sprinkled on top.
