The fine dining experience here is unparalleled, blending impeccable service with Ramsay’s extraordinary culinary skills. The question is, will Andrew and Nicola side with the red or blue team?
Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips:
Next, we dive into Gordon Ramsay’s take on classic English street food at Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips. Located in the LINQ Promenade, this fast-casual eatery serves up authentic British fish and chips, chicken, and shrimp, all with a modern twist.
Andrew and Nicola indulge in perfectly battered fish, crispy chips, and a variety of delightful sauces. From the traditional tartar sauce to Ramsay’s signature curry and mango, each bite is a burst of flavor. Don’t miss out on the indulgent Sticky Toffee Pudding .
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill:
For a true taste of Britain, Andrew and Nicola visit Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace. This restaurant captures the essence of a traditional British pub, offering a wide selection of beers and classic pub fare. The centerpiece is a striking bar reminiscent of iconic British telephone booths, adding a touch of authenticity.
The menu features elevated British pub food, including shepherd’s pie, scotch eggs, and of course, fish and chips. The lively atmosphere and casual dining options make it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal.
The Ultimate British Food Showdown:
In this video, Andrew and Nicola will compare their experiences at these three Gordon Ramsay restaurants to see if they live up to their reputation and stay true to their British roots.

Their taste test includes iconic dishes like Beef Wellington, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and sticky toffee pudding. They’ll share their honest reactions, food reviews, and insights into whether these restaurants deliver the traditional British flavors they promise. Can Gordon Ramsay bring a piece of Britain to Las Vegas? Let’s find out! #food #foodie #gordonramsey #hellskitchen #tastetest
Our Steak Fries are closer to what Brits call chips.
That makes sense! thanks for sharing and watching
LMFAO you two are SO married I LOVE it!!!
Hahaha! Thanks, yes we are!😀
I LOVE that Nicola can’t hide her expressions!! 😂🤣😂❤️❤️❤️ Just makes it more real!! Bless her ❤
Thank you for your kind words! and thank you for watching
In the US, pigs in a blanket are sausages wrapped in biscuit dough or crescent roll dough and baked so I think that is why they are called this. Americans might not buy a sausage roll because they wouldn't know what it was. My mom would adlib sometimes and take a triangle of bread and wrap it around half of a hot dog, held together with a toothpick and baked. We were kids so they were a fun rainy day lunch or snack for us. USA Shepherd's Pie is most often made with ground beef.
We appreciate you sharing your personal story with us. It's these little details that make food memories so special. Those hot dogs in bread sound fun and tasty
Where I live in the United States pigs in a blanket is stuffed cabbage❤
@@jeffhampton2767😮
I live in the USA. I was always told Sheppard's pie was with lamb, cottage pie was with ground beef. Still loved them both!
I've noticed at donut shops they have sausage rolls and advertise them as that but are just pigs in the blanket as shown in this video. Don't know why they just don't call them pigs in a blanket. They are great though after an all night bender. Had many of them in college. The jalapeno and cheddar ones especially .
Y'all did a lot for your viewers today. Y'all spent almost 3 weeks of groceries in three sittings in one day and thank you for that it was a lot of fun. Yes, i really do respect Gordon Ramsay, he's at the top of his games. I'm really happy y'all enjoyed his food and thanks again. :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! We had a blast making that video.
The best fish and chips I ever had were in Virginia in a Seafood restaurant on the Chesapeake Bay. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻
Fish and chips are great. 😀
@@thebritstryyes I'm sure England's is the best
I was first introduced to Fish n Chips, towards the end of Cape Cod. As an anti seafood person, I was hooked. Had some amazing Fish n Chips at the Highland games, in North Las Vegas, a month or so, ago. Also amazing!
I like these longer videos 😊
Thank you for the feedback!
I hope you enjoyed your time in "Lost Wages". 😂
Thanks for watching
Great video. Growing up pigs in a blanket was stuffed cabbage. Yum. We were on vacation and had a meal at Denny's and they had pigs in a blanket on the menu. To my surprise I received pancakes surrounding pork sausage. That was an education. Funny memories. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for sharing your childhood memory and experience with pigs in a blanket! is amazing how dishes change depending on the location!
I giggled when you described the Shepard's Pie because I adjusted my recipe to add sherry wine after having it in an Irish pub.
lol! It certainly gives it a different taste. Thanks for watching!
You should have gotten a curry mango sauce and a tartar sauce at Gordon Ramsay’s Fish and Chips. Yum!
The fish was delicious! next time we will give those dipping sauces a try.
we have a mom & pop fish n chips shop down here in Southwest Arizona town established by a Brit....though there's still no mushy peas lol
That's great to hear! Nothing beats a good mom & pop fish n chips shop, even without the mushy peas! Thanks for watching
Thank you for another amazing videos guys!! Can’t wait to see more of them keep up the great work. Hope you are feeling better Nicola
Thank you so Much!!!! this comment has made our day
Love this video you guys!! And hope Nicola is feeling better!
Thank you for watching and for your well wishes for Nicola!
You two just seem to have such a great life! Anytime a new video comes up I just feel inspired to get out and try more stuff, travel, all of it!
That makes us happy to hear! Thanks for watching!🤗
You can get absolutely amazing meals in Las Vegas. Michelin stopped rating restaurants in sin city because they weren't selling enough guidebooks to make the research worth their while. Some of the restaurants still advertise their former rankings. I've had breathtaking meals on and off the strip, but they are MUCH less expensive off the strip. Still Michael Mina's tasting menu was very memorable, with absolutely impeccable Continental service. Kaiseki Yuzu was even better, though the service was Japanese elegant rather than Continental showy. 8 Kitchen in Henderson and the Berlin Cafe were also excellent, as was Naisso Korean BBQ. Our son and his wife live in the area, so when we visit we love trying food that is not available in our culinary backwater.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! We would love to visit some of those places in the future!
I worked with a man from Scotland 🏴. Shepherd pie has lamb and cottage pie has beef.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
Just found this can't wait to watch!
Yay! We hope you enjoy!
You guys are slowly becoming my favs! ❤❤
Thank you so much for your support, Your message has made our day!
What a great video guys! I just love your joy for life. The sticky toffee pudding looked amazing. Hope you recover soon Nicola.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your support. Hopefully that sticky toffee pudding will help me recover quicker.
In the USA pigs in a blanket are sausages wrapped in pastry. It's the American version of the British sausage roll. I have been wanting to ask Nicola about her thyroid issues, from someone who deals with thyroid disease. You seem to do very well and not dealing with a lot of symptoms.
Thanks for clarifying this, we were very confused about the pigs in blankets. I think I am very lucky that I do not have issues with my Thyroid apart from the goiter.
In the United States pigs in a blanket is stuffed cabbage❤
@@jeffhampton2767no it is not, stuffed cabbage is hamburger with rice, with various spices added and rolled into pre- boiled cabbage leave.
@@thebritstrywhere I live in United States pigs in a blanket is stuffed cabbage. ❤
@@marydavis5234Pigs in a blanket is stuffed cabbage. Go look it up go type into the internet pigs in a blanket stuffed cabbage exactly like that or search on TH-cam
I am American and living in the United States I'm back in the late 1980s I worked in a British restaurant in Pennsylvania and made beef wellington every single day. It's delicious I love it❤
I heard beef wellington is a french dish. it literally has "mirepoix" and "pâté de foie gras". How is that british? lol.
Thank you for sharing! It really was delicious, Pricey, but delicious! The fillet steak just melted.
@nullakjg767 that is very possible I have never researched the origins of Beef Wellington.
@@nullakjg767 It was made to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon. While it uses French techniques, it was made for the purposes of the British.
Excellent review, love watching both of you checking out different menus. Interesting to see Gordon Ramsey's restaurants. I liked how you compared them to having them in the UK. Great job again!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it, we were a little unsure if people would like this change in content? hopefully they will.
Pigs and a blanket have always been sausage wrapped in a bread of some sort. I make them with crescent rolls.
I've always seen and had them wrapped in pancake batter.
Thanks for sharing your twist on this classic recipe!
I thoroughly enjoyed your review of Gordon's dishes from a British perspective. On the American palate as it relates to the food reviewed (me from Mid Atlantic region) tartar sauce is still the standard with fish. and of course ketchup. I've seen Brits reviewing fish and chips with curry sauce and brown gravy. It just would not really appeal to Americans. Maybe the curry at some point, but we don't have the curry tradition here like you do. Mushy peas would probably do ok on the menu since peas are popular in the US, probably the name would put people off. Shame though! Beef wellington has never lost its status as a top notch meal of the wealthy since it became popular in the 50/60's. Esp popular after Julia Child's cookbook was published This is beef country and we do like our filet roast. I'm puzzled why it is thought to be British I thought it was French in origin, Lastly, on the lamb, I think by and large Americans prefer a less lamby lamb. Again, great review, I wish I could visit Hells Kitchen.
Thank you for watching and Thank you for your detailed insights! It's fascinating to see the differences in culinary preferences between countries. We did find it strange that lamb can be difficult to find, in England it is a Sunday roast standard.
Took my family to Hells Kitchen when we were on holiday back in 2019. It was for the occasion of my wife’s 45th birthday and I had to book the table 2 months before we left the UK!
We also had the scallops and Beef Wellington which were absolutely to die for, although one of my boys had the wagyu meatballs to start and they were huge and sooo flavourful!
Hope Nicola is in the mend! Best wishes and get well soon from Scotland!❤️👍👏👏👏
Hells Kitchen was amazing! The food was fantastic, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind words, Nicola is definitely on the mend. 😀
I love lamb. Good to see you had a quick recovery.
Thank you!! We love lamb too!
My prayers for a speedy recovery Nicola.
The prices for the meals didn’t surprise me. Gordon Ramsey +Vegas= $$$$$
The fish looks very tasty, I love apple cider vinegar and hot sauce on fish. I’ve had malt vinegar a few times on fries, it was good.
Now the scotch egg.. initially it was a no for me but I remembered that our friends from the UK are in United States trying food they we love so I have to reciprocate so if given the opportunity I will try a scotch egg, hopefully hard boiled.
Gordon has a unique take on pigs in a blanket, that looks more like a pretzel dog.
My family loves Shepherds pie, make with ground beef, brown gravy, peas and carrots, mashed potatoes.
The beef Wellington was too rare for me. But I need that Sticky toffee pudding in my life!
I would give up all the other food for that sticky toffee puddings 😋
Thank you for being so thoughtful, i am on the road to recovery after some abdominal surgery. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, the sticky toffee pudding is Amazing , we would highly recommend it
Good job guys, I enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Pigs in a blanket at my house is hotdogs fried off a little in pepper and a tiny bit of butter then wrapped in cheese and a crescent roll (some I put mustard in) then bake them.
I live on the East Coast United states. Where we have the best sea scallops in the world. In my lifetime of 64 years I have probably eaten 200 lb of sea scallops❤
Wow! That sounds amazing!🤗
@@thebritstryI can tell you about a few restaurants that have all you can eat sea scallops. You can sit there for hours and for $50 you can eat all the sea scallops you want❤
You must have spent a fortune in that restaurant. Everything did look really good ❤
Since you're so good at responding to comments (love y'all for that!), can you tell me the difference between "sticky toffee pudding" and "bread pudding?" I know bread pudding, but not much about the other.
Thanks for asking! Sticky toffee pudding is a rich, moist cake like dessert with Date pieces and a sweet toffee sauce, while bread pudding is a comforting dish made from leftover bread. Both are delicious in their own right! we hope this helps
also btw cottage pie is ground beef, shepherds pie is ground lamb... people getting this wrong as well
Yeah, in the US, I'm always seeing cottage pie getting served as shepherds pie, so it makes sense that we get confused over here. (I like both personally, but it can be hard to find a proper shepherds pie in restaurants in the US in my experience)
@@NicoleM_radiantbaby yeah, the only place you find a traditional one is an irish pub... for the most part
Thanks for pointing that out! It's a common mix-up but good to know the difference.
I would've died if Gordon actually popped up behind you in the video! lol
LOL! US Too!!!!!
"A danger dog is a hot dog that has been wrapped in bacon and deep-fried. It is served on a hot dog bun with various toppings. Also known as a bacon-wrapped hot dog, it was first sold by street vendors in Mexico." We've been calling hot dogs wrapped in bread pigs in blankets as long as I can remember.
That's an interesting fact about the origins of the danger dog and the similarities with pigs in blankets! We will have to search for a danger dog soon!
That was awesome
Thank you so much!
Glad y'all reviewed all three restaurants for us from the home town perspective. I'll make sure I get that sticky toffee pudding if I ever go to hk.
I love shepherds pie, but I think I might avoid the one you got if I went there.
My favorite restaurant on the strip is hot n juicy crawfish.
Thanks for watching the review! Sticky toffee pudding is a must-try for sure.
I have more fun watching y’all eat than I have eating myself!
🌻
Thank you so much for you comment. it has made our day!
That fish and chips looked pretty legit apart from the chips being Americanized. There's a location here in Orlando. I'll have to go try it.
The fish was very good, the chips/fries were good, they were American style fries.
When I visited Las Vegas, friends took me to eat at Gordon Ramsey’s Steak which is in the Paris hotel. It was my first time trying Beef Wellington and Sticky Toffee Pudding. I forget what my 1st course was because those two items were so good and unforgettable. To this day, I still think about that Sticky Toffee Pudding and my trip was 9 yrs ago. 😅
Sounds like you had an amazing dining experience at Gordon Ramsay’s Steak! Those dishes are truly memorable. Still dreaming about the sticky toffee pudding.
I adore fish and chips with malt vinegar or without I also love Scotch eggs and pigs in a blanket and Shepherd's pie.
There used to be this pub call The Londoner that I used to go to in the DFW area.
Those are some classic British dishes! The Londoner sounds like a great spot to grab a bite.
I’d love a ranking by the end of your trip! ❤️
Great idea!! Let see if we can come up with something. Thank you for watching
In America, pigs in blanket is a regular hotdog wrapped in pastry dough, baked to a golden brown. The pigs in blanket/sausage roll served at Gordon Ramsay’s should just be called sausage rolls 😂. I so enjoyed this video. Although there are two British restaurants here in Phoenix, Arizona, I have yet to try traditional British food. I have cooked British food for myself in my own kitchen: traditional full English (without the blood puddings) but had everything else, even British style bacon and not the American “streaky” bacon. I have never had sticky toffee pudding before but I hope to try it.
Thanks for sharing and watching our video! Your cooking skills sound impressive! Sticky toffee pudding is a must-try, I'm sure you'll love it.
Mmm, malt vinegar on fish and chips. Yummy. Nicola, I love your laugh. It's the kind where everyone around you has to laugh too. I wish that I had your outgoing personality. We have a Dickens festival here every year that features English food, but I have no idea how it stacks up. You guys do have me making beans on toast, sausage rolls and cottage pie. I wish more people here knew how fantastic some English food is. Every time I go over, I run to Gregg's.
Thanks for watching! Greggs is one of a kind!🤗
Get well soon and enjoy the rest of your trip. They are American style pigs in blankets. 😊❤
Thank you for your well wishes! I appreciate it.
Food Network should start a show where Gordon Ramsey takes on Robert Irvine. The battle of the British chefs. The fireworks between them would be a ratings bonanza
That would be an epic showdown between two culinary giants!
All the comments asking about Nicola in the wheelchair, did anybody ask how you are Andrew?
As a fellow chair pusher I feel your pain, and I hope the weather in SD and LV was on the cool side. And there’s nothing worse than when you’re ready to go when someone forgets to cooperate and take the blooming brakes off!!! 😂
Seriously though I hope Nicola is healing and is back to full health soon.
Big love and hugs to you both from rainy Warrington 🇬🇧 wishing I was back in SD. My auntie used to live in Mission Hills and we used to visit when I was a kid. XxX
Your kind words mean a lot to us Both! Thank you for your wonderful comment.
I dream about the Beef Wellington! I've never tried it, but I know I'd love it!
It was really very good! we hope you get a chance to try it in the future.
And in the South they give you vinegar to pour over your fish.
Really! We never knew this.
It's always the brits that start to turn into childhood when it comes to sausage rolls AKA pigs in a blanket😂
Lol! They were delicious.
Im a huge fan of Beef Wellington. Love it! The Pudding did look delicious. Ive never had it before.
The beef Wellington was amazing! If you can try the sticky toffee pudding do it, it is absolutely delicious.
It's looked really good. I will have to try it.
Y'all are cracking me up. I'm the vinegar fan, while my husband calls it "the devil's liquid." However, neither of us like pickles. I love that 5 Guys offers malt vinegar with their fries, not just ketchup.
Thanks for sharing! We are exactly the same Andrew loves vinegar and I can't stand it,
Haha, I love that you both sought out British foods here. I do the same when in Eng - Harrod's used to have an American Diner top floor and in Manchester my friends took me to some American style burger joint. 😂🍔 (used to go annually to OT during SAF yrs) You guys missed out on Crown and Anchor in LV!
That's so funny! we love trying different foods when I travel too. Thanks for the tip about Crown and Anchor in LV! Next time we will search it out
Oh my goodness. Sticky toffee pudding. Definitely one of my favorites. I would skip the ice cream.
So good!
❤ 4:59 I agree completely...lemon does not belong on fried fish...it belongs in a drink...lol...Though, I love Malt Vinegar on it. I have never had Scottish Egg...really want to try an authentic one...they look so good....no one serves them near me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Malt vinegar is definitely a winner with fried fish. Scottish Eggs are worth the hunt!
Get well soon. My favorite couple on u tube. Love the answer yours is the smaller one hahaha. Hilarious
Lol! Thank you for watching!
Every time I watch a chicago deep dish tasting, I'm always disappointed because the don't go to Gino's East. I try to go there every time I go to Chicago.
Thanks for the advice! we will head to Ginos East next time we visit!
So it seems that Nikola will have to start jogging to these locations 😆😆😆😆a diet of sticky toffee pudding and biscuits and gravy… I couldn’t adore you more but it seems like a decadent food pyramid 😆😆😆 Andrew always the consummate gentlemen
😂🤣
I made a really good beef wellington. I was so proud of myself. It was beautiful and delicous
That's fantastic! Cooking a beef Wellington is no easy feat, so kudos to you! Thanks for watching
It was really intimidating but I knew it was one thing I wanted to be able to do. Since we lost our 29 year old daughter I tend to feel comfort while cooking. I love trying new recipes and my husband loves eating them lol
Vegas is my type of town~! Im there 3 to 5 times a year.... Hope you love your experience!
It was amazing! We would love to head back for longer next time. Thanks for watching
I always wanted to try Beef Wellington. I've been to Vegas so many times
but haven't tried it yet. Guess I have to make a trip to Las Vegas soon, I'm only a 4 hour drive away lol.
Thank you for sharing your excitement about trying Beef Wellington! It's a must-try dish for sure. Check out all his restaurants because most offer the Beef wellington but some are cheaper, The Pub and Grill was $5 cheaper than hells kitchen on the weekend we visited.
We call thick french fries 'steak fries' which sounds like what you are calling british chips.
Apparently everyone has their own version of “pigs-in-a-blanket.” I’m used to chopped meat & rice wrapped in a cabbage leaf and stewed in a thin, crushed tomato sauce. In every version the “pig” is some form of meat/pork (duh.)
That's so cool! I never knew there were so many versions of pigs-in-a-blanket. What a delicious surprise!
I’m a American and I would have just picked up the Wellington and ate it like a hamburger ✌️😋
Biscoff is just a branded commercial name for speculoos flavor. However, some biscoff flavour biscuits can be more chewy or cookie-like than the traditional, crispy speculoos biscuit.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge about Biscoff and speculoos! It's always interesting to learn more about the food we enjoy.
My dad used to make pigs in blankets every Sunday in the US. The sausages were wrapped in both bacon AND pastry. Why choose when you can have both?
Good point, well made! They sound delicious thanks for sharing
USUALLY Biscoff cookies which are so good.
Thanks for sharing! Thank would help me in the future, i can definitely say Biscoff
Yes. Seconding @sherryheim5505. In the US, we call those Pigs in a Blanket. So Ramsay is using our nomenclature. Yours are great as well. Bacon and sausage? Kidding me! Yum!
When I was in school in the '70's (in Texas), we would have pigs in a blanket on the school lunch menu. It was always a sausage (hot dog weiner) wrapped in dough and baked. I've NEVER had a pig in a blanket that was wrapped in bacon. SO, I think that's just a difference between England and America. If an American reads pigs in a blanket on a menu, we'd expect is to be a sausage wrapped in baked dough. GR probably had to figure that out when he came here. It may have ground his sausage to acquiesce to our expectations!😂🤣
Thanks for sharing your experience with pigs in a blanket! It's always fun to learn about these cultural differences. AND Thanks for watching
When you come back to Colorado you must try a green chili smothered breakfast burrito. May I suggest bacon. 👍🏼 Numerous Moms and Pops shops to choose.
Thanks for the recommendation! that sounds really good. we would love to visit Colorado in the future.
Those are pigs in a blanket in America . . . the other is bacon wrapped sausage! LOL We call the "large" fries that you all are talking about - which are the same length just about as the regular fries - but we call them cottage fries or steak fries.... We have shephard's pie at quite a few restaurants - but usually with ground beef or roast meat with the mashed pots on top and of course the veggies inside too. I've made it at home actually - it's pretty easy to make!
You know your food wouldn't roll off your fork if you didn't use it upside down! LOL Holding the knife all the time I have to chuckle - we are taught to keep one hand in your lap (at least I was growing up for proper table etiquette...not so much today) - only take hand out of lap to pick up knife to cut meat etc. then knife is put down and hand back into your lap . . and fork used to pierce food or scoop it . . impossible if used upside down . . .lol
LOL, your comment made us laugh! Thanks for adding some humor to the discussion about food and fork antics!
It is clear you are in a wheelchair Nicola. I won't ask not by business. Hope you are okay.
Hi! Yes Nicola was in a wheelchair she had abdominal surgery, but she is doing fine.
@@thebritstryglad to hear she's okay.
Could not be happier to hear. Best wishes.
I'm glad to hear Nicola is going to be okay, prayers for a swift recovery! It certainly hasn't dimmed your shine!😊❤
@@ArabianLady All thumbs up for her recovery!!!!!!!
It’s taken me 27 years to realize it’s not called “Sticky Toffee Pudding”
Haha, that's hilarious! Guess it's never too late to learn the correct name for a dessert.
I've had goat but never lamb.
I had Scotch Eggs at the Renaissance Festival. So good. Also had some awesome bangers & mash.
Y'all should find a Renaissance Festival for a video trying the food there. Ours here in Texas is October-Dec.
That sounds like a great suggestion! Thank you!!! we will definitely look up the Renaissance Festival
@@thebritstry you're welcome. It's loads of fun and I don't know that anyone has ever done a video on the food. Especially British people on the British fare they serve.
American food at RenFair or RenFest though I highly recommend Steak on A Stick and Deep Fried Bacon..oh and Funnel Cake. 😉
Nicola's worst nightmare. "Balsamic Tomato Salad"
😂🤣
I use ranch dressing or honey mustard for dipping my fries
Thanks for the suggestion! and thanks for watching
lolol Poor lamb chops! Better late than never, eh?
Crunchy carrots, & actually being able to taste the red wine? It sounds like it was undercooked.
I _must_ remedy the lack of sticky toffee pudding in my life! I've never had it before, but I've always thought that it looks right up my alley!
I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy sticky toffee pudding when you try it! Its delicious..
Nicola doesn’t seem to like much
I like plenty! 🤗 I also like to be honest and not lie and say I enjoy something when I don’t.
no mam that is piggs in a blanket.. your version looks awesome as well, my perfect shepherds pie would be ground beef with some tomato paste, some grilled unions, a layer of mashed potatoes and topped with shredded cheese, maybe some green beans and or corn in with the beef
They were delicious! just not what we were expecting! thanks for watching
If it has ground beef not lamb then it's called a cottage pie.
A thicker cut fry here would be called “steak fries”
Thanks for sharing! and thanks for watching
Why did you not rate the lamb dish you had along with the beef wellington????
Sorry, we missed that. The lamb itself was delicious! it was a little more cooked than we would have preferred but this didn't stop us enjoying it. The harissa sauce that was with it was a little strange in our opinion, smokey and over powering. It was also $11 more expensive, so we would both probably choose the beef wellington instead! Hope this make sense.
I have never had lamb in my life ever I've been around sheep on farm most of my life but never ate one. If i can past the baaaa I'd like to try it
Yes, We did find it strange when we moved to the USA that lamb can be difficult to find, in England it is a Sunday roast standard. It can be delicious if made correctly. Thanks for watching!
Beef wellington history
The history of Beef Wellington is unclear, but it's generally agreed that the dish was created to celebrate the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, and his victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The Duke was given his title after defeating Napoleon Bonaparte the year before. Some believe the dish may have been named after the duke to celebrate the end of Napoleon's imperial domination of Europe
Wow, didn't know Beef Wellington had such an interesting backstory! Thank you for taking the time to share it.
I thought fries and chips were the same just a different name depending on where you’re at. Good to know there is a difference!
Thanks for watching!!
Interested in your review of this restaurant, I trust your pallets, 🔥🤟. I give the vinegar a try. Here in America we have vinegar and salt potato chips. I like them, you've had the steak fries here in America do they compare to chips?
Thank you! We hope you enjoy
Yeah, I get all the other stuff you get at a British 'chippy,' but that's not really a Fish & Chip shop, mushy peas yes, tartar sauce no, where is the Malt Vinegar? Ah, you waited a beat as it's not Nicola's favorite.
Good portion of thick fish for most US locations, too often very small stingy portions of fish. For casual dining you might get a side of coleslaw, a good one is a nice palate cleanser for the rich and fatty fish & chips.
Not easy to find or make Mushy Peas in the US since they are harvested as Fresh Garden Peas and not left to mature and dry as Marrowfat Peas.
Pigs in a Blanket? British? Thought that was a 1950s Americana Betty Crocker thing. Sausage Roll or Toad in the Hole I'll accept as British.
the way you are describing the Shephards pie is that its not been cooked long enough. If it was cooked longer the wine taste wouldnt be so strong, and with the uncooked veggies also im betting thats the issue.
Thanks for sharing! your description sounds like it might be the reason.
So my pigs in a blanket always is wrapped in bacon. But, I wrap everything in bacon. I also usually use a pork bratwurst, usually imbued with jalapeño and cheddar. And then I wrap it all in a croissant pastry. Pigs in a blanket can be many things in different US regions, much like toad in a hole. This is, of course, due to the melting pot effect of so many cultures coming together.
That sounds like a delicious twist on the classic pigs in a blanket recipe!
I don't know if you two are still in Las Vegas, but if you are, José Andrés has a restaurant in the Cosmopolitan hotel that you might like...
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately we have now left Vegas! But I am sure we will be back, so we will add this to the list for next time.
@@thebritstry He's got one in LA as well. Agua Viva in case you get there first...
American pigs in blankets are cocktail hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough or puff pastry. Lol i like how you Brits think with your version though!
Yes both are delicious! Thanks for watching
You have to try bananas foster. In New Orleans.
Thank you for the suggestion, We did when we visited Nashville recently. Here is the video of the desserts we tried while there, Yum! th-cam.com/video/HIqtlDEQ1Sk/w-d-xo.html
I’m a fan of Gordon Ramsay Burger but my favorite restaurant in Vegas is Joe’s Prime Steak and Stone Crab. Not a Ramsay place however.
Thanks for sharing your favorite spots! we'll have to check out Joe's Prime Steak and Stone Crab next time I'm in Vegas.
I'm going to lose a lot of weight when I go visit GB, that food has virtually no appeal to me at all. Is the Sticky Toffee Pudding as good in GB? If so, that is something I would try.
Haha
How did that sticky toffee pudding compare with Aunty’s?
I’m simple. I prefer just malt vinegar on my fish and chips. Agree he needs the mushy peas.
Andrew agrees with you! That's a classic combination for fish and chips and Vinegar!
so far the comments are getting US style pigs in a blanket wrong. They are breakfast sausages wrapped in a pancake served with maple syrup!
Thanks for sharing! We like the sound of sausages wrapped in a pancake served with maple syrup
My wife and I ate at his steak place at the Paris in Vegas. It was an utter disappointment. We'd visited his flagship in Chelsea a few months before. Best meal we'd ever had. But his place in the Paris was grim. Overcooked pork belly. Terrible steak. It also didn't help that the casino at the Paris was disgusting. Overflowing toilet in the men's room with employees just standing around doing nothing. And enough cigarette butts on the floor that you couldn't walk without stepping on one.
Im.so hungry now truck driver from Pensacola Florida
lol! It was so good!😀
Once out of curiosity I got a can of Batchelor's mushy peas from the British section of a local store. I didn't like it. I suspect it's something you have to grow up with. I don't think you could sell it to Americans.
Have you had split pea soup? It's made from the same type of peas that are used for mushy peas, but it's typically flavored with ham, and often has carrot and celery in it. I like it a lot more than mushy peas. You can buy cans of it in American supermarkets, but it's much better home made (and not to hard to make, either).
It's interesting that the doors behind you are labeled "IN" on the left and "OUT" on the right. I know you drive on the left in Britain, but do you also walk on the left? No one paid attention to the signs, anyway. The one place I know where "in" and "out" are strictly enforced is the doors to a restaurant kitchen. They don't want two waiters to collide when going through the doors, especially when carrying plates of food. If you go through, say, the "in" door, and you decide to turn around and go back, you must go through the "out" door, even if it's been only half a second.
Ground beef with a mashed potato crust is supposed to be called "cottage pie," but I've seen it offered in restaurants as "shepherd's pie".
The potato in the shepherd's pie that you tried looked very yellow. Is that normal?
I would expect the pea puree with the scallops to be made with sweet peas, not the starchy ones that are used for mushy peas.
I have a theory that if you ate Beef Wellington followed by a Napoleon, you'd get terrible indigestion as they fought it out in your stomach.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Batchelor's mushy peas! It's interesting to hear different perspectives on food preferences. Its definitely something you learn to like early in the UK.
You two almost make me want to be able to palate peas. HATE PEAS.lol
Thanks for watching! Maybe we can help you appreciate peas one day.
Would be willing to try I suppose if they were sticky peas? Not sure what you call them.
Or how they are different.
