As soon as I saw the yum yums come out I knew this episode was gonna be soo good! Imagine back in the day they used to sell 8 for £1.50! Used to be Diabetes in a plastic tray!
Definitely a reason why they're called Yumyums. I fucking love the things 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 unreal. When I get them I feel like I wanna enjoy them and eat them slowly but they're literally gone in seconds every time! But so worth it!
Thanks for sharing your food journey in the UK Ben. Thoroughly enjoyed it bro. If you ever come back I would defo recommend you check out some scottish food, especially their bakeries. Also would love to see you take a Caribbean trip and check out some of their amazing cuisine.
Lilt is one of my favourite drinks and the zero sugar is still one of my top drinks of all time. It is still going strong! It has been rebranded though to Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit, so if you have a hankering for Lilt look out for that Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit.
Was just about to comment this! You’ll only really find them in off licenses. Be sure to get Lilt in a can because its a million times better in a can. However the zero sugar version is BOGUS, usually it tastes similar to the original but its like a completely different drink.
As a Brit I didn't really know about complicated American sandwiches until subways started opening here. My whole life a sandwich was bread + butter/margarine + one thing. Jam, ham, egg, whatever but one thing. This modern idea of lettuce, condiment, tomato, pickles, two kinds of meat etc etc, thats a very recent import over here.
Your comment reminded me of when I first arrived in the US in 1965,I had only ever eaten single item sandwiches,and I had a bacon,lettuce,and tomato sandwich for the first time with mayonnaise,I was,and still am crazy for them.I never put butter on sandwiches,unless eating banana sandwiches,and we never eat chip,or crisp sandwiches here.
I dunno in the late 90s early 2000s when I grew up I still saw 2-3 ingredients sandwiches. Ham and cheese/lettuce/cuccumer/tomato. Tuna sweetcorn. Chicken and bacon/stuffing, bacon and egg or sausage and egg. Corned beef and hp sauce. Ham cheese and pickle. Fish fingers and lettuce and tarter.
14:32 The texture of a yumyum is different bc the pastry is more similar to Danish pastry, which is like a rough puff pastry, butter or fat between thin layers, that also contains yeast as a rising agent. A doughnut is made with a more simple batter.
after watching this series im glad he finally got to try a yum yum.. kinda sad he didnt get to try the christmas muffins they no longer do cause they were amazing... bro needs to try a marstons next people have literally travelled the world to try a marstons chicken and chips
When i was a kid i remember Greggs only being available in the north of the UK, i lived down south but used to go to Newcastle every Yr and a visit to Greggs for a sausage roll was a must
Glad to know Ben is alive! I wouldn’t want to make a video either, after that challenge. Continue to take care of yourself! Hopefully ring lady is feeding you soup.
ketchup with sausage, brown sauce with bacon is like a unspoken rule in my household lol and the bacon always over rules the sausage so if you get bacon and sausage its brown again! 😀
the best way to describe the yum yum is like a layered texture, it's firm but you can feel the bite through every bubble of dough, even tho it looks like it shouldnt have that texture at all
@@Mona-.-Yeah Fanta Grapfruit and Pineapple is the exact same thing, it just changed to that from Lilt. Happened in February. They got bought out by Coca cola (Fanta), They probably did it to boost sales because its under the Fanta name now
Coca cola never bought Lilt, they created the Lilt brand. They just discontinued the brand and put it into their Fanta line up since that made more sense.@@TyrantSong
Please do some out and about food vids in the UK or even some food reviews and then a talk on your trip after or a talk on the background of the food (up to 1000 year heritage for some foods) before eating , there are so many british foods to try but it would mean changing the format somewhat. Who knows it might work? Uk fans could provide lots of supporting info.
Depends wherr ou get festive bakes Bu I have cranberry in mine but I'm in Shropshire. Tasty man, we also have curry bakes and the Mexican chicken baguette is one to get, love the videos keep hem coming bro
Greggs is made for and championed by the working class in Britain. Builders on their way to work dont want or need a fancy breakfast sandwich. Quick, simple, cheap and tasty is all we want. Greggs provides that.
Having worked for Greggs. Bacon egg and sausage is the move. However buying bacon and sausage sandwich and a croissant to swap the roll out for the croissant is elite haha. The egg omelettes do have cheese in them but you'll probably not taste it
Not been in a greggs for a while but they used to have a vat of soup behind the counter & around this time of year they did a festive one used to hit different in the cold weather
The Lion bar back in the day , came in one big bar that you broke in half , and the caramel that connected the 2 pieces represented the fangs of a lion . As for the buttys brown or HP sauce on everything except ...red sauce , Ketchup, Catsup, on sausage buttys or fishfinger buttys.
I feel like you have done us as UK viewers a great justice by giving such an in depth sample of Greggs as it is genuinely one of our favourite chains.
He wants to move here it’s that good 😅
I only get Greg's as a last resort. Could never see myself going there by choice. That being said, nobody asked.
Great name bro
@@IN-pr3lw😂
@@IN-pr3lw Clearly you only went to school as a last resort. Greggs has two 'G's and no apostrophe. No offence!
Can’t believe BenDeen had the ability to travel back in time!
Right??? Maybe he's the descendants of Dr. Who who time travel using his telephone booth like time machine 😂😂😂
I started thinking....man he said the food was good so did he go back???
He clearly needed a hangover cure!
My boy is resuscitating ! Jesus Christ 2.0
I knew he could

Bro flew back just to get the yum yums you gotta respect it
nah he realised he wasnt getting as many views as before
You're kidding right?
of course he is are you slow? 💀@@Mdot_Flocka
@@werrutkyupnext idk his uk vids did lowkey get more views ngl brother
@@anti-v7ax109 Listen about 40 seconds into the video, it was a planned upload
I totally agree, a Lion bar is perfectly balanced between crispy, sweet, kind of salty, not too heavy or sticky. What a bonus at the end
10:38 😮😮😮
I miss Drifter bars.
Lion bars are top tier.
Peanut Lion Bars are even more amazing. When I still bought things from Nestle they were one of my favorites lol.
Thanks for spoiling
I love the festive bakes so much because I adore stuffing. It tastes so comforting!
And I’m glad you finally got your yumyums!
watching this guy high with the munchies at 3 am is just peak
Is he high or Asian?
U commented at 10pm tho🤨😂

Yeah, a Baynes or a Stephen's baked goods would be super 😄 (I'm from Scotland)
I love the Greggs Festive slice. When it hits the shops you know that Christmas is around the corner.

Really bad for inducing heartburn though 😅
@@IamBATMAN2024 That's why I haven't had any Lilt for a long time. ☹️
So thats where Lilt went! Haven't had it for years, did think it just got discontinued :D
@@RhamanaChan years!!? It only got rebranded to fanta in recent months, you’ll find them in every off licence pretty much
I love the quick pause of thought before taking a monster bite
Ben you have the best descriptions of food lol. So glad you time traveled back to Greggs!
oh man you should have saved this for Christmas Day to treat us! as it is, its a present for us! Am already nostalgic for your UK vids!
Yay, so glad you managed to get the yum yums.
You need to try Belgian Buns. You can get them at a bakery like Greggs or the supermarket. A god tier dessert item.
Cinnamon buns are even better 👌🤤
Who's gonna tell them 😬
Yea Greggs Belgium buns are great, used to get one occasionally on the way to college, a decadent way to start the day for sure!
Instant sugar rush!
@@amyk9813especially the tesco ones🥵
The way Ben looks at food proves that Love exists.
Happy there’s a part 3 for that Yum Yum redemption! I gotta try them myself, thanks for sharing. :)
Next time you come to England, try the toffee yum yums from Lidl. They're elite!
Yu knwww da ting
You shouldn't let everyone know about them, if you know you know, just incase they sell out quickly and we miss them😂.

@@JohnHausserI've been to Italy and its usually just italian meat and Italian bread and maybe cheese, basil or tomato. Very simple.
I was a kid, growing up in an english village... White bread, margerine, 2 slices of watery ham from a packet. @@JohnHausser

Who remembers the mini yum yums greggs used to sell lol
Good old days
They were like little crack nuggets. I need to brush my teeth just thinking about them
@@lindalangart got a cavity just thinking about them lethal they were 😂
The pack of mini donuts were the one, about 20 of them for a quid
Next time, you should try a BAP with all egg, bacon and sausage in one! With the brown sauce and ketchup! It’s amazing ❤😅
My man, going through a sausage sammy sideways like a maniac. That cross section just sat there staring at me, asking me to help end it's existence.
I thought the same about Lilt, but it's been rebranded as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit. You’ll have to try it again next time you're in the UK
your description of a yum yum is spot on, i have eaten 1000's..... 'Lilt' is sadly missed but we now have "ting" ... great work btw brother.
Don’t worry, Lilt’s still a thing, it’s now just a Fanta flavour, it even states on the bottle that it used to be Lilt
@@PastaIsNotNoodles now with artificial sugar though 👎
@@moosky7344 Oh really? I did think it tasted slightly different.
My guy flew back specifically for the yum yums. What a hero
I got so used to this backdrop
Drunk ben woke up back in london
I love Yum Yums. They're a cross with donuts and a croissant !! Yummy 🤭😍😍😍😍
Don't call it a Cronut as it's been copywrited .😁
@@robambrose4199 Urgh! I'm friggin OLD!!! I didn't even think there was even an actual 'thing' .......... Sorry! 😞 ............ I just likem 🤗
i watch this random guy in his airbnb apartment and this is the best video i watched today 😀
I got really happy for a second thinking Ben had decided to come back to the UK
I'm English and have never heard of yum yums until this channel.
Sounds like a sweet to me.
My Greggs never has them.
Yum yums are sold in Greggs, Morrisons and Marks and Spencer.
Another UK video, nice! these are the best. BTW Lilt is still around, it was just rebranded to Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit.
I eat so much greggs it’s beyond funny, but that is why I appreciate your content
You NEED to try the lidl yumyums!! They have a toffee sauce in the middle and they’re a whole lot cheaper too🙏
Great series brother stay safe and return soon, try out some spots outside London 👊🏻
The Yum Yums look like a croissant in long form glazed up. Must be some amazing stuff!
Breakfast deals from Greggs aren't too bad. It used to be £1.99 for a sandwich and any drink in store, so I used to live off these before College.
thanks for the surprise UK episode, but BRUHHHH... iz you ok after all that damn Maker's Mark? LOL!
Next time you’re in the UK you’ll need to try out M&S food!! Their yum yum’s are lit. Lilt is now Tango tropical punch or something like that.
Lilt is Fanta pineapple & grapefruit
@@wildwine6400 that’s the one, I knew it had changed to something like that lol 👍🏻
Oh wait whhhhh, I didn't know it was
Good idea to save the yum-yums for a rainy day!
14:32 The texture of a yumyum is different bc the pastry is more similar to Danish pastry, which is like a rough puff pastry, butter or fat between thin layers, that also contains yeast as a rising agent. A doughnut is made with a more simple batter.
Ben hits the uk accent when he had a bite of Greggs bacon roll 4:43
Ben delivers in the end! Glad you enjoyed the UK
By far the best food reviewer we had, even watching you dive into the food was a pleasure to see, when you moving here permanently? 😂
Ben you should have done a sweets, chocolate bar and crisps mukbang after raiding a British corner shop. Save that for next time you do a UK vacation

It like a long croissant dipped in glaze. An almond croissant has a similar bite.
I've never tried a yum yum but might pop into Gregg's tomorrow. I hope you have a good flight back
It's sort of like a cross between a regular doughnut and a croissant
@@lindalangart I love doughnuts, so am definitely gonna try it. Thank you
