By 'arguably Britain's favourite' you obviously mean... Not. Yeah, people eat it, but it's far from the favourite. Why would anyone prefer soggy toast? Cheese on toast is far more popular.
Never even thought these foods where weird until i watched this . But i love a Scotch Egg, Mince Pie, Toad In The Hole but Beans On Toast are simple and great :)
All of the ones on the list get my vote,except for deep fried Mars bars which I tried once and decided wasn't to my taste when I found a chippy down south that had them on its menu board thing,and bubble and squeak which is a good way to use those left over items but we...just never used to do,not that we wasted anything. Beans are so versatile,they go with so many things but I like them best as part of a good hearty fry-up. I do like black pudding,having acquired a taste for it in childhood. I tried haggis for the first time at a breakfast buffet at a hotel in Glasgow in 2005,and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I might.
They are but how are these dishes tho. I know mexicans eat beans and toast but its not considered a dish just something you make when youre running late for school.
Some of these dishes exist elsewhere (with minor modifications). Black Pudding is roughly similar to German Blutwurst and Haggis is not unlike Pfälzer Saumagen, a local dish from the Palatinate region. However, toast with baked beans and deep fried Mars Bars will definitly raise an eyebrow here... A well prepared Steak & Kidney Pie (not the deep frozen variety) can be delightful... so all is not lost...
The way these foods are being shown are completely wrong. You’re seeing a poncey chefs version. What we eat looks much, much worse. Still tastes great though
Speak for yourself fella, i like my meals to look almost as good as they taste. no-one wants their meal to look like someone's already eaten it once before and then given it back to the plate.
I love a Scotch egg. Beans on toast is just a classic and so is Toad in the hole and stake and kidney pie. A local food round my way what non local people probably dont get is the famous and delicious Staffordshire Oatcakes. They are just heavenely. Stuffed with cheese and bacon served with a bit of barabeque sauce. Seve me that and then leave me alone for a while. Because oatcakes demand respect.
Cheesy oat cakes were the final straw in me deciding which university to go to. Getting a plate of them every morning before class was the perfect start to the day!
Beans on toast is the favorite here. It didn’t look as though the toast in the video clip had butter on it, though - lots of butter is a key ingredient!
A friend went to Scotland and says a local described haggis as being like dog food stuffed in a condom. That was in Edinburgh. Are there regional preferences about haggis in Scotland?
American here. I live in England and I'm crazy for black pudding!!!! If a restaurant has it, I don't even think, I just get it. At the grocery store, I make sure I leave with it. No one has ever introduced it to me either, I just took a leap and loved it!! . . .same with haggis when I went to Scotland.
I tried haggis on my first trip to Scotland and to be honest I was fully expecting to hate it due to knowing what went into it and generally im not a big offal eater but it was really tasty dish and Im glad I tried it.
Never really understood why some people (usually Americans) make such a big "liver and kidney and tripe, oh my!" thing about eating such organ-incorporating dishes. I suspect that it may have something to do with the fact that in so many parts of the US "offal" appears to rhyme with "awful".
Got to admit, Bubble and Squeak with sausages, Toad in the Hole, and the one you didn't mention, Bangers and Mash, all appeal to me because of the sausages. And, BTW, I'd probably like Scotch Eggs for the same reason, since one of my favorite dishes is a can of sausage hash, heated in a ceramic-lined eight inch saute pan, with three pockets into which I break three Jumbo eggs. After that I put on a lid, and serve upside-down on a dinner plate after the lid's been on four minutes to poach the eggs. To me this is a meal fit for a king---or just about anyone who loves sausage and over-easy or poached eggs!
Love a steak & kidney pie/pudding. And if any foreigners are wondering, the pudding I'm referring to is basically a type of pie (if you want to call it that) that can boiled, steamed or microwaved, is made of suet and comes in sweet and savoury versions.
It's nice wrapped in pastry, like a sausage roll. Just buy puff pastry cut the black pudding in sausage shapes. Add salt n pepper. Wrap the pastry round it then egg wash an put in oven. Very yummy
So glad when my parents came to the states they kept all these wonderful foods. Beans and toast are my go to, easy and great. Black pudding is so good, minced meat pies is my favorite.
This Canadian loves a couple of these. Steak and kidney pie, mince (meat) tarts, and I even had beans on toast for breakfast today. Not canned beans but my own homemade beans.
Yes we do have then in America, but it's hard to find good ones. The pastry store I use to get them from at the holidays closed this year. Anyone know a good place in Portland, Oregon? But at the holidays everyone in our family and friends makes the small ones, growing up I thought everyone had them, but I never have seen them with my American friends.
I thought they would. These foods are great but not at all strange to me when I tried them but I've seen jellied eel, ide love try it cuz I like eel but most would gag just looking at it lol
Haha I lean your way on that one. I got some on the side in a pie and mash shop after watching us play (and win!) an FA Cup tie at West Ham's old Upton Park ground (proper football ground),took them away with me on a container. After an interesting trek up and down the lively,colourful bustle of Green Street,full as it is of sari and jewellery shops,I was eating them on the station platform and have to admit they made me a little bilious.
When we were still kids we had this lodger downstairs who would come back from the market with a bag of whelks. I could get along OK with those,though my sister and mum weren't so keen not being fans of seafood.
We had bubble and squeak for our Boxing Day breakfast last Christmas. I used the left over broccoli, cauliflower, gammon, and roast potatoes all mashed together as a side dish for bacon and sausages. And it was yum!
I’m nearly 50 and travelled all over the UK for work and for pleasure. Deep fried mars bars are not a british food. It’s a novelty item that I have only seen once in Glasgow. Pls don’t make out that this is common and widespread
My mother lived in England for a couple of years whilst married to her first husband, and much of the literature I read as a child was British, so, from an American standpoint, I am quite familiar with a fair few of these dishes.
Love baked beans.since a child And toast Still do Even bake my own baked beans American baked beans are too sweet I had beans on toast last night Only difference I like some mustard on the side sometimes
It's cold, wet and raining outside (it's the middle of August). You get home after struggling to get on the bus. Your shoes are leaking and a car drove through a puddle and splashed you. What could be more comforting that beans on toast? Sheer bliss.
Proper beans on toast is done like so: Toast the bread (preferably 2 slices) Take the toast and add grated British extra mature cheddar cheese, grill it so it’s melted and allow to cool slightly Cook the baked beans with a couple of drops of worcester sauce and fry an egg leaving the yolk runny Pour beans on to the still hot cheese on toast and place egg on top Optional condiments of either of ground black pepper or brown sauce (preferably Hp brand for maximum taste) To make this a deluxe add 2-3 pieces of British bacon ( if American style crispy bacon add 4-8 pieces of bacon) The perfect beans on toast meal
I’m from New Zealand but not find any of these weird as my dad is British and heard of all of them from him also where had deep fried mars bar at our local chip shop
Snickers are the main candy bars deep fried here in America. Along with butter, pickles and a bunch of other things. I just can't bring myself to try them. Supposedly they're delicious!
Yep, peppery meatloaf is a pretty good explanation of the flavour of haggis. I'd also add the word dry as well. Not unpleasant but not something I would go rushing back to.
If it was dry you didn't have enough turnip with it. My Italian husband loves haggis, we always bring some back and keep it in the freezer till needed. But turnips, or swedes to be more correct, are hard to find here in Italy.
beans are so versatile on toast or with jacket potato, chilli con carne , with pasta, hot or cold with a buffet. a side with chips, they turn a pasty into a meal, with fried egg, with fish fingers you can have cheesy beans the possibilities are almost endless, and they are relatively cheap and they are pretty good for you. or just cold out of the can. Great survival food.
Love Steak and Kidney pie, mincemeat tarts, beans on toast, bubble and squeak and haggis. But we also had bangers and mash, fish and chips, rabbit stew, yellow curry from when India was part of the Commonwealth, eccles cakes, cornish pasties, fruit cake, Christmas pudding with custard, hovis bread, ginger cake, bakewell tarts, roast beef and yorkshire pud...all as first generation Canadians. English food is highly underestimated and I imagine even in England it is being forgotten with global influences.
I live in Nebraska. I have to buy my Heinz beans on Amazon because the US variety is not the same! Of course, my Mum was from Hampshire, so I've eaten most of the foods listed all my life. Except haggis. I had to move to Canada and join the Royal Canadian Legion to get haggis at a Burns Supper.
I'm fairly sure the Canadians still make haggis with the sheep's stomach, and an interesting point, around Burns Night, haggis is one of the most smuggled foods to be brought into the US.
My Dad came back from WWII after being stationed in England after a german sniper shot him in the shoulder. His favourite food from England was beans on toast... he modified it and named it camp-style beans. You toast some bread, put it onto your plate, slather the toast with baked beans then you put a fried or poached egg on top and slather it again with a bit of baked beans... Delicious!
I love all thr carry on films so i want them to.do a list and i was the first here but i didnt want to put first so i though id go with wow im early for onve and i love food
I wonder if school cake is still made nowadays. Yes, that's its actual name, and it's simply a vanilla sponge with water icing and sprinkles. I don't know how it became associated with schools, but I remember loving it during my school days
Wtf is weird about a scotch egg? I'm American and don't find it weird at all. Don't you eat sausage and eggs at breakfast? And you left out jellied eel. That's more strange than all of these dishes combined.
The only way black pudding could possibly confuse Europeans is the fact that it is called 'pudding'. In Germany it is called Blutwurst, in Spain Morcilla, in France Boudin Noir (possibly the origin of the english name), in Italy Sanguinaccio insaccato and so on. It is eaten everywhere basically. Nothing to do with economic hardship either.
I suspect that's joined all the other things served at sate fairs. I proposed deep fried lard once and then lived in fear that somebody would do it and blame me for consequences.
How can our foods confuse or are put off by the rest of the world?. Take China for instance. Eating raw fish and while it's still alive. I rest my case!
Ah, the memory of my late Cousin Enid Edwina Alexandra who made the best beans on toast - she made her own baked beans (in a bean hole no less), scratch made bread and also only used locally made Sussex cheese to grate on top. I really do miss her and her refreshing take on life (yes, she was a proud member of the WI).
Sorry... failed... you missed out Marmite on toast. How could you? Incidentally, the principal reason most people in the USA don't like it is because the ordinary cheap sliced bread ( normally best for Marmite) in the States has too much sugar in it (adding sugar to a bread mix is disgusting anyway) , or they don't toast the bread, or they don't butter the toast, or they use margarine instead of butter, or they use too much Marmite in the first place. ,,, or they don't eat it hot. Always remember, when it comes to Marmite, the merest smidgeon is an adequate sufficiency. Actually, I must apologise to you, dear reader, because before I started this daft comment I hadn't actually realised just what is really required to get Marmite on toast just right.
One of the things that annoys me about the whole 'American tries British food' videos is they spoon the stuff into their mouth like its chocolate spread instead of the toast and butter route that they may like.
My preference was always for butter and Marmite (or Vegemite - and yes, I know they aren't the same thing) on toasted homemade sourdough bread. Lots of little crispy fiddly bits! (Margarine? Everything bad for you about butter with nothing good in its stead!)
Marmite is a New Zealand thing as well. You’ve got English Marmite and then you’ve got New Zealand Marmite. Also Australia with their Vegemite. So Marmite is pretty much not just the UK.
Like the beans on sourdough toast, but I do add small amt of fine chopped onions on top. Keep in mind when traveling not to ask for ice in you already chilled drink and always have your tea hot.
I was making it for a while by heaping beans on the toast, slicing a tomato on it, theen topping the whole thing with a slice or two of bacon. The whole thing went under the broiler. People told me that was too much work, however tasty. I'm still undecided but haven;t made that for a few years.
Deep fried Mars Bar surprising? Pssssh... come to any county fair in America, where we've managed to figure out how to deep fry everything, including beer. You're welcome, Britain!
Let's hear it for Beans on F****** Toast ladies and gents!!!
Where's the laverbread?, it's called bread but it's made of seaweed, it doesn't get weirder than that!
Beans on toast WITH black pudding!
By 'arguably Britain's favourite' you obviously mean... Not. Yeah, people eat it, but it's far from the favourite. Why would anyone prefer soggy toast? Cheese on toast is far more popular.
Beans on toast FTW!
If u add cheese and mushrooms
Putting crisps (potato chips) in a sandwich. THE BEST!!!!!!!
Or even a chip (french fries) roll.
I just had one lol
Its done in all over the world i think
aldin 3103 aha
My mum used to do that 😂
Greetings from the Philippines, I actually cooked and ate Beans on Toast after watching this vid...so GOOD!!! Thanks, WM UK!!!
Paul Ramos put some cheese on it then grill and you will be blown away
Also put some pepper on the beans - ordinary black pepper.
Helen Trope; yes and on roasted cheese too. See now I’m hungry 😋
@@1970kingbob I'm just about to have some now.
You need to get hold of some Worcestershire sauce, and add some to the beans lol.. Really good. Gives it so much more flavour and a a kick..
Beans on toast, quick, tasty and filling. Yummy.
Grate some cheese on there
@@VideoDeadGaming Hell yeah!
and add some Worcester sauce
Pure comfort
it is quick at least

Minced pies are international. some people out in California(A pacific coastal US State) even make them.

Ironically, the number one, Beans on Toast, actually seems the most normal here on the other side of the pond.
Most people around the world would be able to work out what beans on toast is. So why is that strange. Should not be number 1.
Hold up the rest of the world doesn’t have mince pies?! How do they live??
L Davis We have them in the US. They just aren’t especially popular. Everyone looks at me strangely when I tell them it’s one of my favorites.
We have them in Canada.
Yeah, they used to popular at Thanksgiving on this side of the pond, haven't seen it a long time, but I loved it.
Too busy eating yorkie puds or beans on toast. I hope. I bloody well hope!
I FIND AN ARMY EVERY WHERE! Also, same I bloddy love everything on this video ☔️
Bangers and Mash?
That's normal.
@@DarwinsTable It is perfectly normal, but confusingly delicious. Much like the rest of the foods on this list.
Err Sonic, I thought you ate Chilli dogs
I mean totally Chili Dogs are up on my list. But you know when running around different worlds it’s nice to try new foods. Lol
yeah I was wondering where that was too
I bloody love beans on toast in the winter
I eat it all year long
Bit of tomato soup or bacon and pea soup'll do me.
Yaaa
🤢
I only eat it when I'm hard up
The trick to a good bubble and squeak is DON'T touch it. Let it crisp up on the bottom of the cast iron pan.
that's how my mom always does it.
Correct!
With HP sauce, obv.
Agreed, let it brown!
And serve it with a fried egg on top. :-)
For some reason, this dish only works with HP sauce no other brown sauce works! Yes, there had to be a fried egg on top.
I love a Scotch egg. Beans on toast is just a classic and so is Toad in the hole and stake and kidney pie. A local food round my way what non local people probably dont get is the famous and delicious Staffordshire Oatcakes. They are just heavenely. Stuffed with cheese and bacon served with a bit of barabeque sauce. Seve me that and then leave me alone for a while. Because oatcakes demand respect.
I'm not British, so when I first heard of the Yorkshire pudding I had something far different in mind.
@@DarwinsTable yorkshire puds are the dogs bollocks my friend. Just heaven. Especially when they soak up the gravy and they go soggy. Ugh so good.

Have to agree with you!
@@greggi47 you have to be careful with your choice of butcher, most of their Haggis' are incredible, but some butcher's have nasty Haggis.

@@Ynysmydwr Haha,I knew someone from New England who sounded a bit like she was saying "offal" whenever she said "awful".
@Ynysmydwr most British people would think those ingredients are gross as well. They are. I'd give it a go but they sound horrific.
As an Aussi and the family cook I can tell you that steak and kidney pie and baked beans on toast are two big hits over here!
Great show.
I love Toad in the hole, I also like a whole Sunday Roast in a giant Yorkshire Pud.
Anyone else do banana sandwiches, just butter, bread and sliced bananas? This is another one my American friends don't do.

Snickers are the main candy bars deep fried here in America. Along with butter, pickles and a bunch of other things. I just can't bring myself to try them. Supposedly they're delicious!
U cany get better than the original one in stonehaven. The deep fried mars bar is brillant
Yep, peppery meatloaf is a pretty good explanation of the flavour of haggis. I'd also add the word dry as well. Not unpleasant but not something I would go rushing back to.
If it was dry you didn't have enough turnip with it. My Italian husband loves haggis, we always bring some back and keep it in the freezer till needed. But turnips, or swedes to be more correct, are hard to find here in Italy.
Twenty Eighteen - not Two Thousand and Eighteen. When was the Battle of Hastings?
One Thousand and 66?
beans are so versatile on toast or with jacket potato, chilli con carne , with pasta, hot or cold with a buffet. a side with chips, they turn a pasty into a meal, with fried egg, with fish fingers you can have cheesy beans the possibilities are almost endless, and they are relatively cheap and they are pretty good for you. or just cold out of the can. Great survival food.
Custard confuses Americans.
Most things outside of the us confuse Americans
Why? Don't the Yanks have custard? How do they make trifle?
@@mirandolina46 Bird's Custard Powder is handy. A lot of modern trifles use vanilla pudding 'cause it's easier.
@@archerlady No home should be without a tin of Bird's Custard Powder.
Seeing Mr Toad made me happy...
When did America become the rest of the world?
1945.
Europe and the US is the only places on Earth that matter
Yes a few of this were filling meals due to austerity because as Brits we used to use everything oh how things have changed !
I dont like beans so theres nothing wrong with substituting spaghetti hoops for them.
Yeahhhh
Tinned spaghetti is disgusting, I don't like beans either but add spices to them to make them nice
@@wullaballoo2642 spaghetti hoops are lovely. May have some tonight.
Like a can of Spaghettios on toast??
@@natalie8212 yes. Yummy
I LOVE Every One of these...Especially Haggis!!!!
Wait mince pies arent an international thing? xD my mind has just been blown xD
Love Steak and Kidney pie, mincemeat tarts, beans on toast, bubble and squeak and haggis. But we also had bangers and mash, fish and chips, rabbit stew, yellow curry from when India was part of the Commonwealth, eccles cakes, cornish pasties, fruit cake, Christmas pudding with custard, hovis bread, ginger cake, bakewell tarts, roast beef and yorkshire pud...all as first generation Canadians. English food is highly underestimated and I imagine even in England it is being forgotten with global influences.
I live in Nebraska. I have to buy my Heinz beans on Amazon because the US variety is not the same! Of course, my Mum was from Hampshire, so I've eaten most of the foods listed all my life. Except haggis. I had to move to Canada and join the Royal Canadian Legion to get haggis at a Burns Supper.
What am I missing by not buying British Heinz beans? I might be convinced to get some.
I'm fairly sure the Canadians still make haggis with the sheep's stomach, and an interesting point, around Burns Night, haggis is one of the most smuggled foods to be brought into the US.
My Dad came back from WWII after being stationed in England after a german sniper shot him in the shoulder. His favourite food from England was beans on toast... he modified it and named it camp-style beans. You toast some bread, put it onto your plate, slather the toast with baked beans then you put a fried or poached egg on top and slather it again with a bit of baked beans... Delicious!
I thought marmite was going to make this list... Love a bit of marmite on toast
Try it with peanut butter. That is a gift from the food Gods
I have a simple rule with Marmite if you can put cheese with it you can put Marmite with it. Try a egg bacon and Marmite sandwich yum yum
Burn the witch, marmite is awful! 😱
Had to hit the like button for the number 1spot 😂
Can you do top ten carry on films please and wow im early for once this is gonna be my favourite because i love food
?
I love all thr carry on films so i want them to.do a list and i was the first here but i didnt want to put first so i though id go with wow im early for onve and i love food
I'm American. I LOVE beans and toast. Scotch eggs are my FAVORITE.
Mince & Tatties. Best ever 👌
I wonder if school cake is still made nowadays. Yes, that's its actual name, and it's simply a vanilla sponge with water icing and sprinkles. I don't know how it became associated with schools, but I remember loving it during my school days
Wtf is weird about a scotch egg? I'm American and don't find it weird at all. Don't you eat sausage and eggs at breakfast?
And you left out jellied eel. That's more strange than all of these dishes combined.
The only way black pudding could possibly confuse Europeans is the fact that it is called 'pudding'.
In Germany it is called Blutwurst, in Spain Morcilla, in France Boudin Noir (possibly the origin of the english name), in Italy Sanguinaccio insaccato and so on. It is eaten everywhere basically. Nothing to do with economic hardship either.
No one eats deep fried mars bars
Some people do, the first time I ordered one, I was asked nonchalantly if I wanted sugar on it
I suspect that's joined all the other things served at sate fairs. I proposed deep fried lard once and then lived in fear that somebody would do it and blame me for consequences.
That should be STATE fairs, though sate works well enough, too.
@@greggi47 Not lard, but you can get deep-fried butter. Or cola. Or...well, think about it, someone's done it.
Nothing beat's Beans on toast with grated cheese on the top.
How can our foods confuse or are put off by the rest of the world?. Take China for instance. Eating raw fish and while it's still alive. I rest my case!
That's Japan. It's sushi.
what about steak tartare, thats a british dish and is raw beef
@@robchissy Tartare is actually French cuisine, however a fair point since it's eaten here in the UK (England)
@@jameswatsonatheistgamer -- And it's not sushi but sashimi, plus it's dead (even if only recently so) 🙂
In China they eat anything they can, bugs and even toads
Ah, the memory of my late Cousin Enid Edwina Alexandra who made the best beans on toast - she made her own baked beans (in a bean hole no less), scratch made bread and also only used locally made Sussex cheese to grate on top. I really do miss her and her refreshing take on life (yes, she was a proud member of the WI).
Everything made from scratch - sounds better than shaking beans out of a can and piling them on a piece of commercial pretend bread!
what about steak and kidney pudding???
Simple Geek Gaming what about it? It made the list.
Beans on toast splash a little Hendersons relish perfect although I've never seen Hendersons out side of Sheffield
where is the marmite
In my belly 😋
Joshua Rydell in my bin
In the bin where it belongs 😂😂😂
in the supermarket where it belongs away from my food
That's not really a food
Black pudding is AMAZING
Sorry... failed... you missed out Marmite on toast. How could you? Incidentally, the principal reason most people in the USA don't like it is because the ordinary cheap sliced bread ( normally best for Marmite) in the States has too much sugar in it (adding sugar to a bread mix is disgusting anyway) , or they don't toast the bread, or they don't butter the toast, or they use margarine instead of butter, or they use too much Marmite in the first place. ,,, or they don't eat it hot. Always remember, when it comes to Marmite, the merest smidgeon is an adequate sufficiency. Actually, I must apologise to you, dear reader, because before I started this daft comment I hadn't actually realised just what is really required to get Marmite on toast just right.
One of the things that annoys me about the whole 'American tries British food' videos is they spoon the stuff into their mouth like its chocolate spread instead of the toast and butter route that they may like.
My preference was always for butter and Marmite (or Vegemite - and yes, I know they aren't the same thing) on toasted homemade sourdough bread. Lots of little crispy fiddly bits! (Margarine? Everything bad for you about butter with nothing good in its stead!)
Marmite is a New Zealand thing as well. You’ve got English Marmite and then you’ve got New Zealand Marmite. Also Australia with their Vegemite. So Marmite is pretty much not just the UK.
You're dead right about American bread: the supermarket bog standard stuff over there is so sweet as to be almost inedible.
Like the beans on sourdough toast, but I do add small amt of fine chopped onions on top. Keep in mind when traveling not to ask for ice in you already chilled drink and always have your tea hot.
How do other countries cope without beans on toast?
They don't. Which is why their shit empires died out.
I was making it for a while by heaping beans on the toast, slicing a tomato on it, theen topping the whole thing with a slice or two of bacon. The whole thing went under the broiler. People told me that was too much work, however tasty. I'm still undecided but haven;t made that for a few years.
Bubble and squeak is divine
Deep fried Mars Bar surprising? Pssssh... come to any county fair in America, where we've managed to figure out how to deep fry everything, including beer. You're welcome, Britain!
How to fry beer? And is it some wretched stuff in the Lite constellation?
Now I remember why I was so very very hungry after my school trip to Britten in 1981. I must have been starving
No wonder you pillaged the world to find better cuisine.
My grandmother used to make mince pies at Christmas but hers were very heavy on alcohol.
I’m british and i don’t like 9/10 of these foods 😬😬
Mary Gomez sake but then again I’m allergic to a ingredient in most of them 😂
This physically hurts my soul reading this
I'm sorry, hand in your union Jack underwear and NI card... your Britishness is being revoked. 😈
Are you sure you're not French???
@@1701spacecadet Spanish genes?
Black pudding scotch eggs are sublime!
I'm sorry. But, UK, are y'all all right? O.o
shadowplay kilgannon Yer we’re good, the foods actually taste nicer than you think surprisingly
I suppose if you're used to the food, the ingredients don't phase you :D
Don't knock it till ya try it is always my rule of thumb
I don’t like all of these on the list but scotch eggs and mince pies are gorgeous and if you get a chance to try them, do it!
I don't get how a scotch egg is weird! Do you americans think that means we get an egg and boil it in scotch whiskey or something?
