I've never seen that brand of Pickled onions before, not keen on them only silver skin sliced on extra mature cheese buttys. Theres a slang word for your list. The pickled eggs look more like eyes. Hobbnobs broken lol no chance could drop them on your foot and that would break b4 the Hobbnobs.

That's a wider section of British items than I usually find in the aisle here in Australia. Inexplicably, Woolworths seem to think expat Brits in Australia are going to be nostalgic for Pot Noodles, Irn Bru, and Alpen at $11 a packet.
Down in Devon we grew up on Ede's Pickled Onions, and you could buy the vinegar to make your own (5 kids and 2 adults) and my Mother would get a huge sack of onions and we would all help her with the peeling and the sterilising of the jars, the fumes would get so bad, the Cat would be crying, but we couldn't wait until Christmas time to open those jars up and use the vinegar on our chips... Happy Times 😁
@Chris Travers exactly! I love pickled onions but the big ones blow my head off sometimes so I can't imagine how she got through that bless her. Sweet silver skins are best for beginners... god I'm craving a cheese and pickled onion sandwich so bad right now!
Quality episode Alanna - the sight of you frantically shoving a chocolate caramel down your face to quell the pickle is a moment that wont fade easily lol Nowt wrong with Haywards pickles, you just need more exposure to them. Goes very well with salad by the way. A cup of PG plus choccy hobnobs .... now youre talking, relaxation heaven Damn those prices are steep ...... mint humbugs are really rather worth a dabble if I might be so bold as to suggest! 😉 Some great comments here. Stay safe stay being Alanna 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like your getting a bit of your colour back :) Your reaction to the pickled onions was hilarious, they are delicious tho. I also recommended the fruity HP sauce it goes really well with burgers and stuff
Not Tried Humbugs? Or as I sometime Say Bumhugs In Cold weather they are a Godsend (Nuttalls Mintoes too) And there are several variations Including Uncle Joes Mintballs(Made in Wigan) And am curious to know if you have Partaken of minty Seaside rock?

Alanna, you cannot dismiss those lovely pickled onions on just one try, not meant to be eaten on their own, so of course you didn't like them! Try one with some nice thick cut ham, a good cheddar cheese and some crusty bread! Accompany with a good ale or two and bob's your uncle, the perfect meal! England misses you by the way!
Eating the pickled onion was the funniest thing I've seen in days. They nice with cheese or fish and chips. Never on their own and never never never at 10.30 in the morning!
Fun fact, the chocolate on a chocolate biscuit is on the bottom. The top is the biscuit bit. It has to do with how it's made. Strong pickled onions are great with really strong mature cheddar. They give wind too. Added bonus.
Urgh they're gross. Homemade is nice, but not that gross brand 🤮🤢🤮🤢 try making them with red onion slices or whole silver skin onions and a nice sweet, spiced pickling solution. Takes 15 minutes max and it's much better.

Oh my dear...my hat is off to you for the courage to try the pickled onions! I couldn't have done it! BRAVO!!! 👍🏻 Yes, we have a LOT of 🇬🇧 imports in our stores (and online) so people who come to Canada from the UK can have some of their favourites from home. I've noticed we have a brand of tea called Typhoo (don't know if that is British or not though...), Twinings, Scottish oatcakes and steel cut oats AND Marmite (although some say it's not quite the same version as the UK's). No need to go without here if you move or are just visiting. 😊 There was a time when M & S (Marks & Spencer) had shops in Canada (YAY steak and kidney pie!) and Boots too, but they didn't get enough business I guess and left after a few short years. Too bad too because I sure do miss Timotei shampoo... Thanks for a lovely and funny vlog post!! Made my day and this isolation a lot easier to bear!
Super funny with the onions. I really like those (get them at Save On Foods here in Saskatchewan). They are somewhat like what my mom made when I was young. Her family was from England. I've been there three times in the last six years, and like visiting there, so appreciate all of your videos!
Who remembers when Minstrels were advertised as ‘Melt in the mouth, not in the hand’......As a child I used to hold one for ages and they never melted, while smarties did....
Yes, I remember those adverts... although I think they were called Treets in those days. I'm just disappointed that Alanna didn't manage to find any Marathon bars or Opal Fruits 😞
Thank you, thank you, your face once you bit into those wonderful pickled onions made my day. Proud of you, you might now realise that the taste of pickled onions stays around for a few hours.

Glad you can get Curly Wurlies. I remember when they first came out in the mid 70's they were actually made with toffee, not caramel. They changed them because when you bit into it the chocolate would crumble off big time and get into the carpet and soft furniture; they got so many complaints from housewives about hard to clean chocolate stains that they changed it to softer caramel, to which the chocolate would stick better. 🍫 If you like salt and vinegar crisps, try a bag with a pickled onion in it.

Milk Chocolate HobNobs in the UK are in a Blue wrapper (Dark Chocolate HobNobs are in a Red wrapper); so they must of been made for the Canadian (or Overseas) market......
When you're back in the UK and sitting in a pub garden with a pint of cider, order a ploughman's and if it comes with a pickled onion, that's how best to eat them.
As a British Gentleman, there's a part me that's offended by the fact that there's a part of the world out there that's sticking French stickers on British products lol
Eastern Canada was first a French Colony and then British one. France lost Canada to the British in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763, aka the French and Indians War. Plus it is law in Canada
I’ll definitely have to find some of these and give them a try minus the pickled onions, such bad U.K withdrawal right now. London Ontario has a store called A Taste of Britain you should check out if its not a crazy long drive from your location.
Curly wurlys are the best. The best pickled onions are home made, put in chilli flakes and pepper corms for added excitement and let 'ferment' for a couple of months💥😘
Yorkshire Tea might not survive much longer.... they actually tweeted a girl from Yorkshire saying please don't buy our tea (because her political opinions apparently weren't PC enough!) Some people are now boycotting the brand.
Hehe caramel bars are so good!! Also, if you have a Sobey's near by, I believe they're partnering up with ocado/waitrose. And also Save-on-foods has Tesco's items!
I discovered this channel during quarantine and I love your videos and almost always agree with you but everytime you insult mushy peas it hurts 😥 🏴🇨🇦
Yeah as a suggestion how about some location videos out and about . Have just binge-watched the TV Series "Cardinal" which I believe is set in and around Ontario
Canadian Superstore sell Hobnobs and Aunt Bessies Yorkshire Puddings as well as Yorkshire Tea. London Drugs sell some British food and Save on Foods sell a range of Tescos items. Safeway sell Snowdonia Cheeses from Wales and Clotted Cream from Devon as well as Scottish Kippers.
That hobnobs packet must have been made for Canada because our chocolate ones are blue, the original ones without chocolate are in an orange packet. I think it's kinda cool you have french on all your products, I can only imagine how easy it must be to learn french that way.
I love pickled onions, have you tried pickled eggs? They are lovely too, oh and when your pickled onions are done, pickled onion pickle juice is great on your fish and chips (and is great on mushy peas!)
You just made me realise that I should stop buying own brand pickled onions and pay a bit more for Haywards to get the crunch of the onions and the sharpness of traditional pickling vinegar. I used to get pickling vinegar from a store near my work, to put on my fish and chips, but it closed and I haven't been able to get it since. You take your own bottle and they fill it up for you from a barrel.
The chocolate on a Chocolate Digestive is on the bottom not the top. the biscuit comes off the end of the oven conveyor and is flipped over before coating with chocolate, the rough bottom from the conveyor mesh helps the chocolate stick. You just reminded me to dig out the half eaten jar of Pickled Onions from the back of the cupboard and eat them, only been there for 3 years so should still be OK. Pickled Onions and Chocolate, are you sure you are not up the duff! Stay safe👸
Loved the happy Tunnocks dance! You genuinely looked petrified before the pickled onion 😁 and... don't they sell Pease Pudding? Rude. Excellent video. Stay safe.
The Polos are for after you’ve eaten most of a jar of pickled onions 😀 Love pickled onions by the way. Best flavour crisps too as an aside. You now need to progress onto another British pub classic... the pickled egg. Yum!
ThePeteW, I’ll pass on the pickled eggs, I just can’t handle them. The occasional Scotch Egg-very occasional maybe. As far as sweets go you can’t beat a Flake from Cadbury. When my sister and I were little, my Grandma and Auntie would send us quite a few as part of our Christmas parcel. Brings back a lot of the warm fuzzies.
Pickled onions can be too strong eaten on their own, they’re tasty chopped up with other food though! They go especially well with the cheese in a ploughman’s lunch.

Alanna I've watched you eat stuff that would make me hurl, but the pickled onions...that's the first time I've actually seen you sort of revolted. The things you do for your devoted followers!
When you wag your finger at the camera it reminds me of when I was married!
what was his name ?
Milk Chocolate HobNobs in the UK are in a Blue wrapper (Dark Chocolate HobNobs are in a Red wrapper); so they must of been made for the Canadian (or Overseas) market......
I’ve so missed Alanna eating stuff she knows she’ll hate.......I love this girl.......😂
When you're back in the UK and sitting in a pub garden with a pint of cider, order a ploughman's and if it comes with a pickled onion, that's how best to eat them.
As a British Gentleman, there's a part me that's offended by the fact that there's a part of the world out there that's sticking French stickers on British products lol
@rxp56 That's what I was thinking lol
Eastern Canada was first a French Colony and then British one. France lost Canada to the British in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763, aka the French and Indians War. Plus it is law in Canada
@Danny M Plus it is law in Canada that products have labels in French and English. Is that too hard for you to understand?
@@Viewer19 It was a joke....Is that to hard to understand?
One of the funniest videos, the pickle onion was brilliant, you should try it against some point. 🤣🤣
Never again!
PG, Tips the worst tea ever!!! You don't even get the free sock monkey with it anymore.
pickled onions are great with fish and chip . and sprinkle some of the vinegar on ye chips.
Honestly I'd actually be excited to go to wallmart 😂
Yes we only get to go to ASDA
@@johnclements6614 yeah but to be fair, I think M&S and Waitrose sell better quality food than Walmart. So we're doing okay.
I’ll definitely have to find some of these and give them a try minus the pickled onions, such bad U.K withdrawal right now. London Ontario has a store called A Taste of Britain you should check out if its not a crazy long drive from your location.
My soul is leaving my body!
🤢😂
Curly wurlys are the best.
The best pickled onions are home made, put in chilli flakes and pepper corms for added excitement and let 'ferment' for a couple of months💥😘
Twinings is the way to go. Yorkshire tea actually tastes like tea, so here's a Tip- Don't ever buy PG Tips!!!!
At least it's not that awful Liptons tea that the US seems to think is tea. Do they imagine that's what we drink here?
@@gigteevee6118 I'd rather have Liptons than PG Tips tbh. It actually has some flavour.
even better is Waitrose own brand English Breakfast tea.
Yorkshire Tea might not survive much longer.... they actually tweeted a girl from Yorkshire saying please don't buy our tea (because her political opinions apparently weren't PC enough!) Some people are now boycotting the brand.
@@musicgarryj WHAT? OMFGG. This over-the top-political-correctness just has to stop. Fuck Yorkshire (the tea, not the county or the people).
Hehe caramel bars are so good!!
Also, if you have a Sobey's near by, I believe they're partnering up with ocado/waitrose.
And also Save-on-foods has Tesco's items!
I discovered this channel during quarantine and I love your videos and almost always agree with you but everytime you insult mushy peas it hurts 😥 🏴🇨🇦
Mushy peas on battered fish is great only half a small tin though.
Must have vinegar or mint sauce on them.
Yeah as a suggestion how about some location videos out and about . Have just binge-watched the TV Series "Cardinal" which I believe is set in and around Ontario
The French should stay in France so we know where they are.
Canadian Superstore sell Hobnobs and Aunt Bessies Yorkshire Puddings as well as Yorkshire Tea.
London Drugs sell some British food and Save on Foods sell a range of Tescos items.
Safeway sell Snowdonia Cheeses from Wales and Clotted Cream from Devon as well as Scottish Kippers.
That hobnobs packet must have been made for Canada because our chocolate ones are blue, the original ones without chocolate are in an orange packet. I think it's kinda cool you have french on all your products, I can only imagine how easy it must be to learn french that way.
I love pickled onions, have you tried pickled eggs? They are lovely too, oh and when your pickled onions are done, pickled onion pickle juice is great on your fish and chips (and is great on mushy peas!)
You just made me realise that I should stop buying own brand pickled onions and pay a bit more for Haywards to get the crunch of the onions and the sharpness of traditional pickling vinegar. I used to get pickling vinegar from a store near my work, to put on my fish and chips, but it closed and I haven't been able to get it since. You take your own bottle and they fill it up for you from a barrel.
The chocolate on a Chocolate Digestive is on the bottom not the top. the biscuit comes off the end of the oven conveyor and is flipped over before coating with chocolate, the rough bottom from the conveyor mesh helps the chocolate stick. You just reminded me to dig out the half eaten jar of Pickled Onions from the back of the cupboard and eat them, only been there for 3 years so should still be OK. Pickled Onions and Chocolate, are you sure you are not up the duff! Stay safe👸
Loved the happy Tunnocks dance! You genuinely looked petrified before the pickled onion 😁 and... don't they sell Pease Pudding? Rude.
Excellent video. Stay safe.
Thank you!!
after you have eaten all them pickled onions use the vinegar on your fish and chips admittedly the smaller silverskin onions are much more palatable
The Polos are for after you’ve eaten most of a jar of pickled onions 😀 Love pickled onions by the way. Best flavour crisps too as an aside. You now need to progress onto another British pub classic... the pickled egg. Yum!
ThePeteW, I’ll pass on the pickled eggs, I just can’t handle them. The occasional Scotch Egg-very occasional maybe. As far as sweets go you can’t beat a Flake from Cadbury. When my sister and I were little, my Grandma and Auntie would send us quite a few as part of our Christmas parcel. Brings back a lot of the warm fuzzies.
Pickled onions can be too strong eaten on their own, they’re tasty chopped up with other food though! They go especially well with the cheese in a ploughman’s lunch.
P G tip tea and baked beans. I'll be OK in Canada. . Try heinz silverskin onions in vinegar or any silverskin in vinegar Much sweeter. .be safe all.😊
Thanks for the tips!
