    With regard to malt vinegar; home-made pickled shallots are divine! That bite of the vinegar, sweetness of the onion after a couple of months' maturation, and the prickle of perspiration on your forehead as the spices bite.
    Then Marmite! You might try Vegemite or a supermarket own-brand yeast extract: I find them less aggressive than Marmite (this may be due to variation in salt content).

    The pic you show of Marmite spread like peanut butter will make most Brits fall about laughing.
    You use about half a teaspoonful on a slice of hot buttered toast or a slice of buttered, crusty bread and mix it into the butter.
    No wonder Americans say they don't like it!

    If you were looking to try more marmite options, using it on hot buttered crumpets can be recommended, as always a very thin layer.
    If you were looking for alternatives to sticky toffee puddings, there are other sponge puddings, Treacle, golden syrup, Lemon, Raspberry, chocolate and others, they tend not to be as heavy as sticky toffee, generally I would suggest they benefit from cream or custard or maybe ice cream.
    As you like Profiteroles you might also like Eclairs, available in most bakeries and supermarkets, they are normally chocolate covered but can be caramel and other toppings, worth trying.

    • @Obi-J
      @Obi-J 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Next time you try Marmite, mix together the Marmite and plenty of softened butter before spreading, as it helps to get it thinner and more even.

      On anything from the chippy it *HAS* to be chip shop vinegar AKA non-brewed condiment, Which by the way is made from by-products of oil refining (the ethane fraction is converted to acetic acid, which is standard vinegar acid) and is the only acceptable vinegar for fish and chips.

    Still to try:
    - Golden Syrup - by itself on a spoon; on buttered toast; on buttered crumpets; in plain yogurt. In a syrup tart or sponge syrup pudding. Essential ingredient of proper flapjacks (with condensed milk).
    - Sausage roll (Greggsl
    - Pork pie ( good pastry) or gala pie
    - Custard - the British alternative as a dessert topping / accompaniment. Where Americans would have ice cream with apple pie, syrup sponge or cake, we'll have custard.
    - Marmite #2 - next time butter the toast. Add a thick layer of crunchy peanut butter. Take a small amount of Marmite & start to spread it - it won't spread & you'll end up with Marmitey peanut butter. Ace!

    For Marmite it’s about micro-dosing. You just need a tiny bit on the end of the knife. The trick is to have really hot toast, spread the butter so it soaks into the bread quickly, then spread a tiny bit of Marmite evenly over the hot, buttered toast. Then you’ll get a slight hint of saltiness. You can also add a teaspoon to gravy to lift it up a bit.

    Part of the reason that Ameicans don't like runny is that the eggs overall are not as good quality. Eggs like many farm products in America are intensively produced, unfortunately your sheep cows and pigs very rarely see fields, and your eggs are mostly battery produced. It's a very different production model. Sticky toffee pudding is a relatively new product maybe the last 30 years, you are right about Christmas pudding it is someting you need to have eaten from childhood. I make cheese scones at least once a fortnight, getting very near being my favourite food. Just a little warning be careful, with Piccalilli .

It's probably the most common way to eat them in Britain and they are cooked - only slightly less time than if you have them hard boiled (about a minute less if I remember rightly, it's a fine line between soft and hard). Trust me, they're piping hot when you get them out of the pan, you'll scald your fingertips trying to hold the egg steady to clip the top off with a spoon if you attempt it soon after getting them out of the pan. Soft boiled is runny, hard boiled is when the yolk goes solid. My parents were not laissez-faire with our health and wouldn't have given us soft boiled eggs if there was any danger :)

    Sticky and Christmas pudding should be served as a small portion with lashings of hot custard. Pasties are, for us, a quick no prep lunch. Break open the crust and fill with hot gravy, then pour a moat of gravy around the pasty. Rhubarb - as kids we were given a stick of rhubarb and a paper cone containing sugar - dip and bite until it has all gone. There is no correct way to serve Yorkshire pud. As a starter with either lemon juice, or gravy, with the main course with gravy, as a pudding with honey poured into the centre. Some older Yorkshire families served Yorkshire pud with each course as an inexpensive fill-you-up. Cooked in a big baking tray with sausages in the batter - 'toad in the hole' - delicious.

    Christmas pudding in an acquired taste, although I will say it should be eaten swimming in custard or single cream, think of it like a bowl of cereal, pudding = cereal & cream/custard = milk, then you have the right mix 😂 The pudding is supposed to break down a little in the custard/cream, this is why it is dense, 'back in the day' cream was a lot easier to come by and cheaper than the fruits ect. in the pudding, so everyone would get a small amount, add cream and it would break up a bit, increasing the portion making it like a warm, creamy, fruity, cakey, yogurt type dessert. and makes a little luxury back then go a long way. Its now tradition, although I personally love steamed puddings and fruit cakes so I'm a fan.

    A well toasted crumpet, lashings of butter, and a scraping of Marmite. Divine.
    Also, try Yorkshire Pudding warm, with a spoonful of strawberry jam in the middle and drizzled with vanilla ice-cream or just some cream. Nom. 😋

    UK eggs are much, much, much safer than American eggs now. At one point you would get salmonella poisoning about one in a few thousand eggs, but now it's once in hundreds of thousands, and that's raw, if you cook it, the risks fall off a cliff. The runny yoke is less risky, and even when it's runny has still been cooked a bit.

    Try Christmas pudding warm with cold fresh cream. Not a big portion though because as you say it is dense.

    I am pleased with your honesty. An idea with marmite you might like.Cheese on toast. Bear with me. When making the cheese on toast. Toast the bottom of the toast and flip it over then spread some marmite on the bready part and then put cheese on top of the marmite and grill till it bubbles.

    Christmas puddings are very variable and can be goregous with brandy butter/custard, but you sound as though you don't like dried fruit which does make liking it a challenge, nonetheless, I would suggest you seek out a really good quality christmas pudding which is MOIST, combine with brandy custard, and you will have a really enjoyable and seasonal experience.
    And your dislike of scones with dried fruit is sacrilege, scones have to have raisins or sultanas in them to be proper scones.
    You have a dried fruit problem, I think.

      Yes, Christmas puddings can vary a lot. Some are really treacle-y and/or full of alcohcol and others are a bit lighter. Obviously, my mum's recipe is the best, haha.

    For Christmas dinner we always have a choice of Christmas pudding or profiteroles so you would be fine

    Try "bubble and squeak", left over potatoes and sprouts (or cabbage) fried, you will love it.

    Something you may come across "Scone" is pronounced two different ways depending on which part of the country you're in, it's either the way you said it like "traffic cone" but it can also be said like gone as in "he's gone again".

    I would say I quit like Christmas Pudding- but I do have a small amount - any more is overkill.
    In our family we serve Christmas pudding with almond blancmange, which is a perfect contrast with its smooth clean fresh taste against the heavy richness of the pudding.
    Fellow Brits- do not knock the almond blancmange unless you've tried it (or absolutely hate almonds!). My Mum thought it was mad when she married into the family- but having tried it was an instant convert!

      I love Christmas pudding but sadly, since I've developed failing kidneys, (and dried fruits and nuts are bad for failing kidneys) my diet regarding such culinary delights have been severely restricted. I can have the things I enjoy which are bad for me, but rarely, and in tiny portions.🤔 😢😢😢😢😢 One good thing ... Without even trying, my weight is slowly decreasing!! (I just wish the weight loss showed...!! To my eyes, at least, it doesn't!!) 😏🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧🖖

      I can enjoy Christmas pudding but it’s got to be smothered in custard or double cream.

    Take a trip to Hull and try Patties Peas and Chips, if given to option of battered or crumbed, go for battered.

    9:05 Yorkshire Puddings and Golden Syrup is another way to enjoy them. Add some ice cream too.
