The Falklands War did not last until 2022! That commemorative flag must have been produced on the 40th anniversary (probably for veterans who served, I imagine). The war lasted from 2 April 1982 to 14 June 1982, so just over 2 months.
Dandelions are actually a super food, they're seriously good for you. You can make jam with the heads/petals that tastes a bit like honey, you can use the young leaves and buds in salads and you can make a tea with the roots but I've heard it's closer to coffee than tea. You can even make dandelion wine! Check out the health benefits, there are so many!
Dandelion and Burdock is made from the roots of the dandelion and burdock plant boiled together (blended from handpicked dandelions, burdock thistly roots and star anise flavours with sparkling water.)
Don’t get rid of the cheese!!! It’s completely sealed in wax & would have sat out of a fridge for months, so pop it into the fridge! Also, if that’s Black Bomber by Snowdonia Cheeses, it’s AMAZING 🤣👍
Dandelion and Burdock is made from the roots of the two flowers, in much the same way that Root Beer or Sarsaparilla is made. It tastes almost but not entirely unlike root beer.

It has already been said but DON'T THROW AWAY THE CHEESE!!!!!!!! It's in wax which keeps it, once it has been cut though it needs to be refrigerated. Enjoy 🇬🇧
@Jamie Derry what final processing? The wax is an airtight seal. Cheese can be kept months like that, that's the whole point. It says to keep refrigerated to maintain ease of removal of the wax. Food must have a best before or use by date by law even honey, which is the only foodstuff that does not go off.

@@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer If extra mature cheese sits out in room temp maturing, why do we then need to keep it refrigerated once it's sold to us? ChatGPT Extra mature cheese, like other types of cheese, goes through a specific aging and maturing process under controlled conditions to achieve its desired flavor and texture. During this process, the cheese undergoes changes in its composition and develops complex flavors and aromas. However, once the cheese reaches its desired maturity and is ready for sale, it is typically packaged and sold under refrigeration. There are a few reasons for this: Preservation: Refrigeration helps to slow down the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that can spoil the cheese. While the aging process may have made the cheese more resistant to spoilage, it is still susceptible to contamination and degradation if left at room temperature for extended periods. Shelf life: Refrigeration extends the shelf life of cheese. When kept cold, the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms is significantly inhibited, allowing the cheese to maintain its quality and flavor for a longer period. Food safety: Refrigeration helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause foodborne illnesses. Keeping cheese at a cool temperature reduces the risk of bacterial growth and minimizes the potential health hazards. Texture and taste: While extra mature cheese may develop its desired flavors at room temperature, refrigeration helps to preserve these flavors and maintain the cheese's texture. Exposure to higher temperatures can cause the cheese to soften, become oily, or even develop off-flavors. It's worth noting that certain types of cheese, such as aged and hard cheeses, can withstand short periods at room temperature without significant issues. However, for optimal quality, flavor preservation, and safety, it is generally recommended to store all types of cheese, including extra mature cheese, in the refrigerator after purchase.

D&B is a soft drink made from the roots of the two plants that have been scrubbed clean and chopped up and dried. The roots are then lightly roasted like coffee beans then infused just like making tea. It is then strained to remove the solids and the liquid has other ingredients added to sweeten and stabilise and carbonate the drink just before bottling or canning. You are correct that it can be lovely with ice or just chilled in the bottle/can, but some people like to have it heated up to just below body temperature ( not me). As for the pink gin again it’s not really to my taste, but I do know how to make a pink gin. You need a bottle of clear gin and a bottle of something called Angostura bitters( a fairly strong alcoholic mixture that is made by infusing several ingredients including herbs and spices and the bark of some varieties of shrubs and then reducing the liquid by evaporating it to concentrate the flavours. You then get a chilled but dry glass and put a few drops of the bitters into the glass and swirl it around the glass to coat the glass as much as possible, then tip any remaining liquid out of the glass either into the next glass or straight into a drain, then pour your chilled gin into the prepared glass and stir to allow the gin to take up the flavours and colour of the bitters then have a drink. Pink gin used to be a popular drink in the officers mess on board the ships of the Royal Navy, but it was invented to cover up the taste of the sometimes poor quality gin that the ships were supplied with.
Dandelion & burdock was originally made from the roots of these weeds so that's where the US gets root beer from. Yes best served cold and I like a large brandy in it as well
i worked at burtons biscuits llantarnam factory for years and our line made fish and chips, cathedral city bites (just fancy mini cheddars) and maryland mini cookies (on different days obviously)
Dandelion Burdock is SO GOOD! Defo not for everyone, reminds me of medicine 😂 the cheese should be fine just put it in the fridge for a couple of days.
For your info, dandelion and burdock was traditionally made from the roots of the plants. So it's kinda like our version of root beer ( which I wish was sold more over here). And gin, proper gin not the modern fads, is flavoured with juniper berries. Hence the name. Love you guys ❤
Botanist here - Yes it's made from dandelion and burdock roots hence the name. Burdock is your Dock leaf you use on nettle stings part of the plantain genus that staunches wounds.
Chat gpt: As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the rules regarding sending alcoholic drinks from the UK to the USA are as follows: 1. Age Restrictions: The recipient of the alcohol must be at least 21 years old, as the legal drinking age in the United States is 21. 2. Prohibited States: Some states within the United States have restrictions or prohibitions on the shipment of alcoholic beverages. It is important to check the specific regulations of the state where the recipient resides before sending any alcohol. 3. Licensing: In order to ship alcoholic beverages from the UK to the USA, the sender may need to obtain the appropriate licenses. This requirement may vary depending on the specific circumstances, such as the type of alcohol being shipped and the quantity. 4. Customs Declaration: When sending alcoholic beverages internationally, it is necessary to declare the contents accurately on the customs form. Failure to do so can result in the package being seized or delayed. It is important to note that regulations may change over time, and there may be additional requirements or restrictions in place. It is advisable to consult the current guidelines from the relevant authorities, such as the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) in the USA, and any applicable shipping carriers or customs agencies to ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
JT and Anna, the Coronation Chicken flavour crisps that you were sent weren't from King Charles' recent Coronation but were a reminder and an homage to what the official dish was during Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953. By the way, the official dish of King Charles III's Coronation just over 4 weeks ago was quiche. Speaking of which I've been wondering since then whether or not both of you watched his Coronation because you haven't posted a video about it over the past 4 weeks, have you? Incidentally, I love dandelion and burdock but loathe root beer and I could sit around and drink a whole 2 litre bottle of dandelion and burdock but would never have root beer in my home never mind drink it. As you correctly said dandelion and burdock is great served chilled straight from the fridge with some ice cubes in the glass. On the other hand I'd never drink gin because not only am I completely teetotal but even when I was a drinker of booze the smell of it reminded me of really cheap perfume and the few sips that I've ever had of it made me think that I'd sprayed my mouth with an equally cheap and very nasty eau de toilette....Yuk!
Make sure you fly the Union Jack flag the correct way up (my pet hate when it's not) The thick white stripe needs to go at the top of the flagpole on the left - if it's flown the other way up with the thin white stripe nearest to the top of the flagpole it used to mean a sign of distress. xxx Love your videos xx
When my sister and I were small children, we were on a boating holiday on The Norfolk Broads. We had taped a small, toy Union Jack on a stick to the front of the boat. We were stopped one day by the river police who told us a boat cannot fly the Union Jack unless the Admiral of the British Fleet is onboard; and that the flag was upside down! It was frightening, unnecessary and upsetting but at least we learned that day that the flag has a right and wrong way up and we have never forgotten!
The Gin and Tonic is best served cold over ice. Dandelion and Burdock is an acquired taste. It has been drunk in the British Isles since the Middle Ages. Originally made from fermented Dandelion flowers and Burdock roots.
I think customs randomly picks packages coming into this country to open and inspect, and that one just got lucky enough to make it through without being inspected
Just a heads up that the flag is only referred to as the 'Union Jack' when it is flown from the jack-staff on the bows of a Royal Naval vessel at sea and also when not harboured. When it is flown on land or on a harboured vessel, it is then referred to as the 'Union Flag'.

Coronation Chicken was a dish invented for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. It is a curried chicken dish that was served at a lumcheon after the coronation. It is still eaten today but most often as a sandwich filling.
In France they eat Dandelion leaves in salads, also you can make Dandelion wine using the yellow flower. The wine is beautiful if you make it correctly and it's easy to make. The Dandelion is a very under rated plant!
Gin and tonic has long a very popular drink in the UK, particularly as there has been an absolute explosion of new gin distilleries over the past few years. It is normally served iced. I agree with you about the aftertaste though, JT - it always reminds me of hair lacquer - you know, if you happen to breathe a little in when it's just been used in the room, and you get this dry feeling in your throat... I believe that Juniper Berries are one of its main ingredients, but then it can also be infused with just about anything from grasses to tree barks, to give it a unique flavour and sometimes colour! Tonic water has also become available in different flavours in recent years! One of dandelion's nicknames over here is "Piss the Bed," which when combined with Burdock's digestive system remedies, should give you a good idea of how it has also had something of a revival in these health-conscious times in which we live - though the amount of sugar it contains probably cancels out most of the therapeutic values, I shouldn't wonder!
I need to send you some classic British tea bags and instructions how to make them as there is a couple ways to make it and it’s become a debate should it be milk first ? 😂😂
hi guys the Gin and tonic drink, back in centuries gone by, im not sure if you have watched every country england has invaded video, but it was 60% of the world during the british empire, we learned stuff, stole stuff, and brought it back to the british shores. Like many of Britain's national favourites, gin did not originate on our shores. In fact, if you don't count the Italian monks who are thought to have used juniper berries as flavourings in distilled spirits back in the 11th century, it's Holland that's credited as the birthplace of gin Originally known as Indian Tonic Water, it has its roots in colonial India… but it's South America where things truly originated. Tonic's distinctive bitter flavour comes from quinine, which is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree
Even though the cheese says keep refrigerated, as long as the outer packaging isn't perforated and hasn't been sat in a boiler room for weeks, it will be fine. It's spent the last 6 months to a year sat in a dark room maturing, a week in the post isn't going to make much difference. The best way to store cheese like those is I'm a larder and not in a fridge anyway. You will know if cheese isn't good any more because it will be mouldy. The worst what may have happened in transit is it may have gotten dehydrated. I would just put it In the fridge overnight and it will be fine. I regularly buy cheeses from around the world and although some arrive within a day or two , some do take a while to get here.ive not had any go bad on me yet.
Don’t know why but you lifting the box and everything falling out bottom made me chuckle 🤭hob nobs are the marines of tea dipping 😂. The cheese is ok and you only refrigerate once opened. Dandelion and Burdock is my all time favourite treat, it’s got a liquorice flavour to it.

Really enjoy the unboxing video's, think they may be my favourites! Dandelion and burdock drinks are often quite an acquired taste, I really like them but was pleasantly suprised that both of you seemed to like it. Quavers are a good crisp, I think you'll like those. Dorito's have just brought out a couple of new flavours over here too. There's an actual "Burger King Whopper" flavour that I'm very keen to try. The "Caramac" bar is kind of like a caramel flavoured white chocolate, I like them but I think I remember you saying that either you or Anna don't really enjoy white chocolate so much. It's definitely worth a try still.
If the wax coating on the cheese is still intact then the cheese will be perfectly fine to eat. It will last for ages but best to keep it in the fridge after removing the wax.👍 Grate onto toasted bread and grill until golden and bubbley!
The Cheese should be fine if it is still sealed completely in wax with none of the cheese exposed just put it into the fridge to harden up as it will have melted on the way to the states if it is mature it will have a strong smell and taste
I'd try the cheese in the black wax...It may still be ok...Cheese takes a long time to properly go bad and extra mature cheddar is my fav...I wouldn't bin that unless it was green... and even then I'd cut the green bits off and still eat it on crackers or melted on toast over raw onion...
Any canned drinks you get from over here in blighty will taste better chilled. So chill that D&B before you open it and it will taste great (especially if you like root beer).
Dandilion and burdock is made from the roots of said plants ! When you lot went to America you didn't have the plants to make it so you made something similar and called it root beer !

Extra mature cheese, like other types of cheese, goes through a specific aging and maturing process under controlled conditions to achieve its desired flavor and texture. During this process, the cheese undergoes changes in its composition and develops complex flavors and aromas. However, once the cheese reaches its desired maturity and is ready for sale, it is typically packaged and sold under refrigeration. There are a few reasons for this:
Preservation: Refrigeration helps to slow down the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that can spoil the cheese. While the aging process may have made the cheese more resistant to spoilage, it is still susceptible to contamination and degradation if left at room temperature for extended periods.

Those Fish 'N' Chips are an old brand (80s Burtons) which were bought out by Pepsi aka Lays and re-introduced in 2014 due to popular demand
i worked at burtons biscuits llantarnam factory for years and our line made fish and chips, cathedral city bites (just fancy mini cheddars) and maryland mini cookies (on different days obviously)
Dandelion Burdock is SO GOOD! Defo not for everyone, reminds me of medicine 😂 the cheese should be fine just put it in the fridge for a couple of days.
Love Dandyliion and burdock. It is a really old English drink. :)
For your info, dandelion and burdock was traditionally made from the roots of the plants. So it's kinda like our version of root beer ( which I wish was sold more over here). And gin, proper gin not the modern fads, is flavoured with juniper berries. Hence the name. Love you guys ❤
Botanist here - Yes it's made from dandelion and burdock roots hence the name. Burdock is your Dock leaf you use on nettle stings part of the plantain genus that staunches wounds.
Also the base of all gin is the juniper berry and some other vital botanics.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the rules regarding sending alcoholic drinks from the UK to the USA are as follows:
1. Age Restrictions: The recipient of the alcohol must be at least 21 years old, as the legal drinking age in the United States is 21.
2. Prohibited States: Some states within the United States have restrictions or prohibitions on the shipment of alcoholic beverages. It is important to check the specific regulations of the state where the recipient resides before sending any alcohol.
3. Licensing: In order to ship alcoholic beverages from the UK to the USA, the sender may need to obtain the appropriate licenses. This requirement may vary depending on the specific circumstances, such as the type of alcohol being shipped and the quantity.
4. Customs Declaration: When sending alcoholic beverages internationally, it is necessary to declare the contents accurately on the customs form. Failure to do so can result in the package being seized or delayed.
It is important to note that regulations may change over time, and there may be additional requirements or restrictions in place. It is advisable to consult the current guidelines from the relevant authorities, such as the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) in the USA, and any applicable shipping carriers or customs agencies to ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
JT and Anna, the Coronation Chicken flavour crisps that you were sent weren't from King Charles' recent Coronation but were a reminder and an homage to what the official dish was during Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953. By the way, the official dish of King Charles III's Coronation just over 4 weeks ago was quiche. Speaking of which I've been wondering since then whether or not both of you watched his Coronation because you haven't posted a video about it over the past 4 weeks, have you?
Incidentally, I love dandelion and burdock but loathe root beer and I could sit around and drink a whole 2 litre bottle of dandelion and burdock but would never have root beer in my home never mind drink it. As you correctly said dandelion and burdock is great served chilled straight from the fridge with some ice cubes in the glass. On the other hand I'd never drink gin because not only am I completely teetotal but even when I was a drinker of booze the smell of it reminded me of really cheap perfume and the few sips that I've ever had of it made me think that I'd sprayed my mouth with an equally cheap and very nasty eau de toilette....Yuk!
I really like your and Anna’s videos. Your both really genuine, good people
Great team Notts County, a really historically important club.
Make sure you fly the Union Jack flag the correct way up (my pet hate when it's not) The thick white stripe needs to go at the top of the flagpole on the left - if it's flown the other way up with the thin white stripe nearest to the top of the flagpole it used to mean a sign of distress. xxx Love your videos xx
When my sister and I were small children, we were on a boating holiday on The Norfolk Broads. We had taped a small, toy Union Jack on a stick to the front of the boat. We were stopped one day by the river police who told us a boat cannot fly the Union Jack unless the Admiral of the British Fleet is onboard; and that the flag was upside down! It was frightening, unnecessary and upsetting but at least we learned that day that the flag has a right and wrong way up and we have never forgotten!
The Gin and Tonic is best served cold over ice.
Dandelion and Burdock is an acquired taste. It has been drunk in the British Isles since the Middle Ages. Originally made from fermented Dandelion flowers and Burdock roots.
I think customs randomly picks packages coming into this country to open and inspect, and that one just got lucky enough to make it through without being inspected
The Cheese wrapped in wax will be fine but you may want to put them in the fridge to firm it up.
Just a heads up that the flag is only referred to as the 'Union Jack' when it is flown from the jack-staff on the bows of a Royal Naval vessel at sea and also when not harboured. When it is flown on land or on a harboured vessel, it is then referred to as the 'Union Flag'.
You're in for a treat with the Fish & Chips!
Dandelion is actually a super food, don't knock it... As a drink it's quite common over here, especially for the kids...
But does make you wet the bed
@@davewilliams3800 Only the leaves have that effect, _Dandelion leaves act as a diuretic, increasing the amount of urine your body makes_
_Dandelions are a superfood because they are so dense in nutrients, including calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants, such as vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin C. This nutrient-dense plant can support the immune system by reducing inflammation_
I plucked the flowers off all the Dandys in my Garden and threw them into a nice salad,
Highly recommended
_Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two most commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale (the common dandelion) and T. erythrospermum (the red-seeded dandelion), were introduced from Europe into North America, where they now propagate as wildflowers. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion (DAN-də-ly-ən; from French dent-de-lion 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus_
*Controlled blood sugar* _Dandelion greens can lower blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes_
*Diuretic effects* _Due to the high potassium content of dandelion greens, they work as a diuretic. Diuretics help increase urine output and treat water retention_
*Lower blood pressure* _Since dandelion greens are a diuretic, they can treat high blood pressure for some people. While the diuretic effect isn’t as powerful as a prescription medication, it can still be helpful when a mild diuretic is needed_
*Lower inflammation* _Dandelion greens contain natural anti-inflammatories. Reducing inflammation in your body can reduce your chances of developing certain cancers and heart disease_
*Antioxidants protect your health* _Oxidative stress can damage your cells and contribute to cancer, metabolic disorders, and disease. The antioxidants found in dandelion greens can protect your body and keep your immune system strong_
*Control cholesterol* _Dandelion greens affect lipid metabolism. Preliminary studies show they might be useful in lowering cholesterol_

sending cheese to USA ..... Did you pay the chesse tax ....lol
Well if they want to do the business they gotta pay the tax
@@urbanshadow777 the cheese tax , the cheese tax
Coronation Chicken was a dish invented for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. It is a curried chicken dish that was served at a lumcheon after the coronation. It is still eaten today but most often as a sandwich filling.
In France they eat Dandelion leaves in salads, also you can make Dandelion wine using the yellow flower. The wine is beautiful if you make it correctly and it's easy to make. The Dandelion is a very under rated plant!
My tortoise 🐢 loves dandelions.
and not forgetting, dandelion honey. 😋
Gin and tonic has long a very popular drink in the UK, particularly as there has been an absolute explosion of new gin distilleries over the past few years. It is normally served iced. I agree with you about the aftertaste though, JT - it always reminds me of hair lacquer - you know, if you happen to breathe a little in when it's just been used in the room, and you get this dry feeling in your throat... I believe that Juniper Berries are one of its main ingredients, but then it can also be infused with just about anything from grasses to tree barks, to give it a unique flavour and sometimes colour! Tonic water has also become available in different flavours in recent years!
One of dandelion's nicknames over here is "Piss the Bed," which when combined with Burdock's digestive system remedies, should give you a good idea of how it has also had something of a revival in these health-conscious times in which we live - though the amount of sugar it contains probably cancels out most of the therapeutic values, I shouldn't wonder!
I need to send you some classic British tea bags and instructions how to make them as there is a couple ways to make it and it’s become a debate should it be milk first ? 😂😂
hi guys the Gin and tonic drink, back in centuries gone by, im not sure if you have watched every country england has invaded video, but it was 60% of the world during the british empire, we learned stuff, stole stuff, and brought it back to the british shores.
Like many of Britain's national favourites, gin did not originate on our shores. In fact, if you don't count the Italian monks who are thought to have used juniper berries as flavourings in distilled spirits back in the 11th century, it's Holland that's credited as the birthplace of gin
Originally known as Indian Tonic Water, it has its roots in colonial India… but it's South America where things truly originated. Tonic's distinctive bitter flavour comes from quinine, which is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree
The falklands war lasted from April to June 1982
I love dandelion and burdock it’s reminds me of root beer too, mc Donald’s stop root beer years ago. I use to have it as a kid.
Even though the cheese says keep refrigerated, as long as the outer packaging isn't perforated and hasn't been sat in a boiler room for weeks, it will be fine. It's spent the last 6 months to a year sat in a dark room maturing, a week in the post isn't going to make much difference. The best way to store cheese like those is I'm a larder and not in a fridge anyway. You will know if cheese isn't good any more because it will be mouldy. The worst what may have happened in transit is it may have gotten dehydrated. I would just put it In the fridge overnight and it will be fine. I regularly buy cheeses from around the world and although some arrive within a day or two , some do take a while to get here.ive not had any go bad on me yet.
lol New Uk flag, it means the condition as in its brand new and not used.
I love Dandelion & Burdock.
Another great unboxing.
Don’t know why but you lifting the box and everything falling out bottom made me chuckle 🤭hob nobs are the marines of tea dipping 😂. The cheese is ok and you only refrigerate once opened. Dandelion and Burdock is my all time favourite treat, it’s got a liquorice flavour to it.
Dandelion and burdock one of the original root beers😊
You both make me laugh whilst tasting the drinks it goes back and forth and you’re both not sure but still keep drinking them lol
Ayyy shout out to the lad that sent you the Notts County kit. Thats dope.
Forest >> though
With the chilli heatwave Doritos crush them up and use it as a coating for fried chicken it's amazing
Dandelion and Burdock is our equivalent of Root Beer.
Keep coming through with the wholesome content!
Fish n chips crisps are THE BEST! They’re like little crackers
Cold Dandelion and Burdock goes great with fresh Fish and Chips by the sea. Classic old fashioned pop in the UK. 😊
Great video your faces when you tried the dandelion and burdock 😂 . I love caramac chocolate. Just a pity you don't have buckfast tonic wine right enough it is a required taste gets you drunk though ✌️ From Scotland
I don't know if they're ready for "tear doon the hoose juice" yet haha. It'd be fun to watch though!😂
Scips dippediin sour cream and chive dip. Corrination Chiked was invented for the Queens corrinatinin, its a extreamly mild curry.
There are soooo meny types of Gin my fav is Cucumber, fantastic.
I would leave a comment, but your probably busy head 1st in your bin trying to retrieve a smelly cheese! LOL!
Yes them heat wave Doritos are brilliant I love them and I also dip them in small tub of mayonnaise lovely jubbly
Laughing hard of you lifting tye broken box 😂
Really enjoy the unboxing video's, think they may be my favourites! Dandelion and burdock drinks are often quite an acquired taste, I really like them but was pleasantly suprised that both of you seemed to like it.
Quavers are a good crisp, I think you'll like those. Dorito's have just brought out a couple of new flavours over here too. There's an actual "Burger King Whopper" flavour that I'm very keen to try.
The "Caramac" bar is kind of like a caramel flavoured white chocolate, I like them but I think I remember you saying that either you or Anna don't really enjoy white chocolate so much. It's definitely worth a try still.
They will be more accustomed to dandelion and burdock because they are used to drinking root beer, which is pretty similar.
@@sarahealey1780 Yeah that's a good point, I've never tried it so I don't really know the similarities. I'll have to try and find some!
Dandelion and Burdock is one of my all time favourite drinks, love the stuff :)
Y'all be drinking flowers? It's British Root Beer! You do that too. Dandelion & Burdock is made from Dandelion & Burdock root.
you got some of the best stuff there, Pickled onion is the best, caramacs are awesome, fish and chip crisps are gorgeous
The Dandelion & Butdock is quite nice. Dandelions are a natural diuretic - you make tea etc from dandelions.
If the wax coating on the cheese is still intact then the cheese will be perfectly fine to eat. It will last for ages but best to keep it in the fridge after removing the wax.👍 Grate onto toasted bread and grill until golden and bubbley!
the fish n' chips are amazing
Bloody love Wheat Crunchies and Roast Chicken Walkers. That's a great box.
Boss video JT and Anna, much love to you both 💞💞💞
Also watch a film called "Scum" and another called "Quadrophenia" amazing British films
The Cheese should be fine if it is still sealed completely in wax with none of the cheese exposed just put it into the fridge to harden up as it will have melted on the way to the states if it is mature it will have a strong smell and taste
You could open up your own little uk memorabilia museum charge perhaps $2.perhaps a charity.
Well done JT opening the box from both ends ,the Doritos are my favorite crisps as well. Why not have a crisp tasting party.
Omg skips!! You have to Let them melt in your mouth. Well you don’t have to, but they’re so good!!
the wetness in the cheese box would be chill packs that melted while being sent also as others have said cheese in sealed in wax.
Cheese doesn't have to be put on the fridge. But not for weeks and weeks! 🤭 xx
Skips are 👌🏻 and Dandelion a burdock YUMMY!!!
I'd try the cheese in the black wax...It may still be ok...Cheese takes a long time to properly go bad and extra mature cheddar is my fav...I wouldn't bin that unless it was green... and even then I'd cut the green bits off and still eat it on crackers or melted on toast over raw onion...
Any canned drinks you get from over here in blighty will taste better chilled. So chill that D&B before you open it and it will taste great (especially if you like root beer).
That snowdonia black bomber is lovely
And the dandelion and burdock is nice with a ice-cream float
Only recently discovered you guys and are now binge watching everything on both channels 😂👍👏
Dandelion and buttock has an aniseed taste one of my favourites
Dandilion and burdock is made from the roots of said plants ! When you lot went to America you didn't have the plants to make it so you made something similar and called it root beer !
Alright hand up who sent the cheese 😂
Hands was me 🤔
@@sarahtooldtocare8561 I'm sure it would be fine to eat, very thoughtful gift
Every single Newcastle fan looking at that Notts county jersey is thinking the same thing 😂
The football shirts are a great gift…even though I’m a Nottingham Forest fan. Quick fact, Notts county are the worlds oldest professional association football club.
Hiya Sarah, have a look at the top of the page, see why Newcastle play in Black and White strips
@@paulguise698 Thanks Paul. I never knew this, that’s really interesting. 👍🏼
Stoke are now the oldest pro league club but yep
