Yes! I was appreciating how wonderful it is.❤ I like finding new foods and curious what they taste like and what the differences are. I think its obvious I’m a big fan of Great Britain. Why else would I be here visiting? ❤
Yes. Hence why I said “these look like the ones we have in america”…..Americans know that most of the things we have came from somewhere else. My comment was meant to convey that I found out the original pancake and it comes from England versus maybe Germany or France. In America there is an endless amount of possible origins for things we have. I was trying to piece to together in my travels.
Actually what I said was “these look American style”….meaning plain and simple ones we have everywhere in USA. Its the style I would assume is most common in USA. Is Scotch pancake the most common in Scotland?
@@eattravellovejoy20 I appreciate that you are responding (somewhat defensively) to what has been a very critical appraisal of your video. I think you have answered your own question in your initial response. You take up a default position that `our' (those of us outside the USA) have somehow copied `American-style' pancakes, buns, muffins etc. No, no, no. As a country of immigrants, the US have adopted and adapted the Rest of the World's cuisine. It's the American arrogance about this point that is so off-putting. Where do you think your food originates from - apple pie, muffins, pancakes, buns, biscuits, scones etc etc - you did not invent them! Apple pie is an English creation dating back to 1390 - though some would argue that the Dutch got there first. I see from your bio that you are rightly proud of your Thai heritage - try going to Thailand and telling the Thai people that their Pad Thai is like something you can find in the USA! It's about respecting the direction of travel - Rest of the World goes to America, not the other way around.
British people or anyone who knows what these goods are can you please comment so we can learn what these goods are? Im getting the same comments about being ignorant and messy but that doesn’t help me. Im always trying to learn so I encourage positive comments❤😅
London is fun for tourists, but it doesn't reflect the real UK. If you want to see the beautiful parts of the UK, you need to go to Yorkshire, or the Cotswolds, or Dorset etc.
I learned something from your video, so thank you. As a 70 ish English woman I had to look up what a Farl was!! I'm glad you like the produce. Did you get to taste anything? Some of those baked goods need to be toasted or heat up to appreciate. I saw an American trying to eat an untoasted crumpet once. This item is mainly a conduit for getting melted butter into your mouth and really don't do the job untoasted. Personally, I would toast hot cross buns, tea cakes and welsh cakes as well. Probably that farl as well, I would slice it across ways and toast. They look too cloggy otherwise.
Marks & Spencers is one of the most expensive major supermarkets, with only Waitrose more expensive. I lived and worked in the USA in the 2000s. US supermarkets were much cheaper than the UK, even Whole Foods Market. were cheaper. Marks & Spencers are unusual because almost everything is their own brand. Typical UK supermarkets sell fewer own brands. Marks & Spencers also pioneered food and clothing. They were responsible for the concept of 'chilled ready-to-cook meals', and perfecting the essential 'cold chain'. IIRC, they were the first UK supermarket with part-baked continental breads like ciabatta. They even perfected 'non-iron' cotton shirts in-house. If you ever return, maybe pick a couple of things and try them? It seems weird watching someone find half a dozen novel, ready-to-eat 'baked goods' and not try anything. Crumpets _must_ be toasted, and I always toast English Muffins, also I'd toast farl, Welsh cakes, and pancakes to warm them up. I'd eat fresh hot-cross-buns, tea-cakes, and spiced fruit buns cold. A couple of days later, I'd toast them. I'm fond of fresh spiced & fruited breads/buns with cheese, but that might be unusual. Anything with icing are eaten cold. If you stay in Airbnb you'd have no problems toasting things. If you're in a hotel with 'public toasters' you might ask if you could try toasting 'unfamiliar UK baked goods' before buying anything. It's a bit of a shame you didn't tack on a few seconds saying you'll go back and straighten the shelves because it was awkward to handle the packets and record video. That might have endeared you to viewers. American's don't have a great reputation in the UK, or much of Europe. So sadly, you maybe were too readily misjudged. You might even consider shooting something saying that's what you did (against a neutral room background) and adding it to the end of this video to reduce negative comments, and save yourself time, effort and stress, responding to negativity. I skimmed your channel, and you have Thai food connections. I've only visited about a dozen countries (USA [about 17 states], Canada, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, France, Estonia, Gibraltar, Belgium, Norway, India, Thailand, Australia, South Africa, Singapore). I was fortunate to visit Thailand most months for more than a year. In my limited experience, Thai food is the best in the world. My simile is "like going from black & white to colour". You're lucky having such a glorious food heritage. Best Wishes. ☮
Yes we don’t have crumpets in USA. I was wondering if they taste similar to English muffins or if they are totally different. We have scones in USA now. American Biscuits are different.
I think maybe some commenters are thinking my tone is a negative one? 😅 Im actually just curious and honestly appreciating all the wonderful foods in England. My tone was meant to be one of curiosity and wanting to learn more about them. Wasnt meant to be one of negativity at ALL❤. I love England.
I have just stopped the video at3.30 when you were looking at the Soda farls, they are very much an Northern Ireland thing, I spent 40 years working in a bakery making them. To have the proper Soda Farl experience, get your Soda Farl, slice it in two, put a fried egg on one of the halves, two slices of fried bacon and some HP sauce, Put the two halves together and eat along with a cup of proper Tea, life does not not get any better than that. That will set you for a few hours work on a building site but no bloddy baked beans.
Yes. I love how wonderful these baked goods are! I guess I didn’t sound nice? My comments weren’t meant as negative. Im just American. Cant sound as cute as British. 😅❤
When I’m back in USA I will learn about them. I never knew about these baked goods before. Hence why i sound ignorant…its because I don’t know about them.
My video focused on the baked goods because your country has much different ones than ours. We don’t have these. Have you been to America? You will see it’s different.
Your channel name told me everything I learned watching the way you handled all the food you didn't intend to buy All that was missing was you insisting on speaking to a manager..
I think I was mostly just curious and wondering what these baked goods taste like. We don’t have them in USA. In terms of the way i handled the goods I was actually gentle but it looked sloppy because I only had one hand and couldnt organize the other goods on the shelf to make it properly straight and the packages were slippery plastic. I went back after filming to straighten it out. Eat Travel Love, Joy. Its a food and travel channel. Exploring things I haven’t seen in other countries. ❤
I was making a video for people in other countries who also don’t know what these foods are so we can all look them up or learn about them from British people. I wasn’t going to buy ALL of the baked goods when I couldnt possibly eat all of it. I didnt crush them or open them. I just looked and then after filming reorganized it.
I don’t know why the comments are being soooo rude to you. Aww this is so nice, I love it when people show an interest and curiosity in our food! I would love to show you around our stores and make you some of our traditional bakes myself ❤ many of the baked things you are looking at are great breakfast items! welcome to the UK!
Thank you so much for your kind words❤. I really love England and I love learning about the history and culture. I would love to be shown and learn about your traditional foods❤ next time I’m in England! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
I thought you treated the packaged bakery items disrespectfully. Someone will end up buying them but you were squeezing them and then shoving them back on a shelf often not in a neat way.
I assure you I didn’t squeeze them or disrespect the goods. I was gentle. I didnt shove anything and that’s why they looked crooked because I didn’t want to shove them into place. I went back after filming to reorganize when I had both hands free and not filming with one hand. Maybe I should take the video down since so many comments think I’ve been man handling the goods. Fyi…they were disheveled before I got there. Were like that when I got there. The packages arent perfect squares/they are soft and the plastic slides a lot so they naturally don’t stay perfect.
Yes they are different than muffins. But in both UK and USA we have English muffins. Curious why we both named them muffins if they arent muffins eh?😅😂
omg….for the hundreth time Im replying to another rude commenter about the slippery packages of baked goods aisle. I only had one hand to pick up items while recording with the other. You need to chill out…I was handling the items gently and went back after filming to arrange them neatly. it just looks like “im dumping” but im not. For your information….civilized people don’t try to tell foreigners how uncivil they are from the way they pick up and put down groceries. I find ur comment rude.
Why are you making such a mess on the shelves???? Just put it back the way it was.
I went back to fix it after I was done with the video. Had to hold the camera at the time of filming.
Fyi…they were a mess before I got there. 😂❤ If I put it back the way it was it would be messy as well!😂❤😂
You are in a different country. Accept what the country has.
Yes! I was appreciating how wonderful it is.❤ I like finding new foods and curious what they taste like and what the differences are.
I think its obvious I’m a big fan of Great Britain. Why else would I be here visiting? ❤
Scotch pancake - `Oh, it's like an American pancake'. No, the `American pancake' was introduced to America by the Scots who emigrated there.

Ballyrashane (Coleraine ) buttermilk in the soda falls
We used to have Marks and Spencers in Canada. The owner took the stores out of Canada. We miss Marks and Spencer.
British people or anyone who knows what these goods are can you please comment so we can learn what these goods are? Im getting the same comments about being ignorant and messy but that doesn’t help me. Im always trying to learn so I encourage positive comments❤😅
Can you please refrain from the hate in the comments. Thank you. ❤

Not everyone lives on Hostess Cupcakes and Twinkies. Take the time to actually learn about these bakery items before making stupid comments.
Yes. I love how wonderful these baked goods are! I guess I didn’t sound nice? My comments weren’t meant as negative. Im just American. Cant sound as cute as British. 😅❤
When I’m back in USA I will learn about them. I never knew about these baked goods before. Hence why i sound ignorant…its because I don’t know about them.
When she said Bramley apple hot cross buns I have was expecting her to say what's an apple 🙄

English muffins aren’t muffins they are bread
Yes they are different than muffins. But in both UK and USA we have English muffins. Curious why we both named them muffins if they arent muffins eh?😅😂
Your ignorance confirms what we know about the American education system.
Oh so in America we should learn about all the baked pastries in every country right?!😂😂😂 Good on ya
The way you just dumb the items back is NOT the way we do things in the civilised world 😡🇬🇧
