Americans Try Traditional British Food in London | Fish N Chips + Sunday Roast Burrito
We've had some DANG GOOD FISH N' CHIPS, but how do they compare to the "real" & traditional ones in London? In this video we go to Poppies and Yorkshire Burrito in Camden, London to experience traditional British food. BEWARE: DON'T COME HUNGRY! :)

Americans who know how to use a knife and fork! Amazing! I do not mean to be rude but many of these sites doing what you are doing show them actually picking up food with their hands even though they have cutlery in front of them ! Love your videos.
You guys are so super sweet and I'm so impressed that you really like to try everything and of course how much you can eat 🙂. Total respect and Willa is a lovely little lady!! 👍☺️
In Britain you have Fish and Chips with Salt and Vinegar
A couple of suggestions (if you haven't already tried) - steak and kidney/ale pie or pudding (in a pub), hot sausage roll (from bakery), hot Cornish pasty (ideally in Cornwall), Bakewell tart (tea room or bakery, esp. in North, Derbyshire), Cullen skenk (Scottish smoked fish and potato soup), Beef Wellington in a quality restaurant).

Always great to see non-uk'ers trying UK food - and realising it's not all bland and boiled! And you definitely get a follow for mentioning pie & mash!! You can't beat double pie, double mash & liquor, smothered in chili vinegar salt & pepper!
Cute video! I agree about your pronunciation of Yorkshire…. but when I was younger I called it the “Thay-m-z” river, so you are doing WAY better than I was! 😀👍🏼 Willa is a DOLL. Such a scene stealer - in the very best way. “Shrimp!”
People from the yorkshires were probably cringing about the pronunciation of yorkshire, but otherwise good video.

Yorkshire pudding is like an unsweetened Dutch baby. Dutch babies are usually very sweet served with fruit and cream. We also have toad in the whole which is sausages cooked in the oven inside a Yorkshire pudding batter.
The words London & Sunday roast burrito 🥺🥺🥺
So it would seem that I am struggling with KZread algorithm. Please bare with me, ..... In England there is a meatball that starts with a "F" and not an "M" however "Maggots" is the word that you need to swap the F for the M. It's not a joke it's a meatball from yester year.... Lovely and rich 👍🏻👍🏻

Did you try any teas? Such an honest opinion from Willa. She was definitely confused on where the chips were... 😂 But what a trooper!
Ah, fish & chips at last! Made me laugh to hear Willa asking "Where are the chips?" When you're back in Germany, Yorkshire puddings are so easy to make. You whisk flour, milk and an egg together, then pour the batter only halfway into each muffin form in a muffin tray in which melted lard has been heating in the oven. Nota bene: put the tray in a hot oven for quite a few minutes so that the fat is piping hot. Instead of lard you could probably use Schweineschmalz. You can eat individual Yorkshire puddings with just about anything. One of my favourite fillings is scrambled egg topped with fresh prawns and chopped chives.
Lovely video!
Fun vlog. Although nothing beats fresh fish and chips from a coastal fishing village.
Glad you enjoyed our British food guys but if you want real fish and chips go to a chippy ( fish and chips takeaway ) and for a really delicious British roast you need a home cooked one. A lot of Americans say our food is boring/bland but they obviously haven’t had the real thing, roast, fish and chips, bangers and mash, pie and mash , stew, cottage/shepherds pie and many many more. We do have great food and thank you for your kind reviews 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
You should go up north to proper chip shops you probably wont get tartar sauce but you should have mushy peas salt and if you must vinegar

I live in North West England (Manchester), and you can get tartare sauce up here ... most chippies will give you sachets of it if you ask them .... I have salt/vinegar and tartare sauce with my fish and chips!
If you are still in Britain, please make sure to have chips with salt and vinegar - the vinegar (brown, Sarsons) is the thing. Btw I shout you out in my Bremen video. Not that you need it from me, but I thought of you, so I said it xxx

Sorry but London does not have the best fish and chips you need to travel further north especially to the coastal area's. For one thing I have yet to eat fish and chips on a plate its always within the paper sadly they don't cover it in newspaper anymore not allowed. Whitby is phenomenal for fish and chips and the portions are so much bigger the further north you travel. Yorkshire Puddings they come in all sizes but the way I was brought up with them is home made jumbo puddings and it would be on it's own plate with some onions in a rich gravy and we ate that first while the veg finished cooking and then we would get the meat and veg. Also what ever batter was left over mom would make extra puddings and then put jam in the bottom or she would halve apples place them face down and then pour the batter over them and in the oven they would go.

I watched this and it was only 12 pm, so I reckoned I could still make it to the chippy. But I didn't, because I cooked myself a very hearty full English breakfast at 8 am.
Those fish and chips (French fried potatoes to the non-British) looked delicious but I'm surprised you didn't consider seeking a restaurant that served them wrapped in newspaper- the original way these were presented.Of course, it started out as street food but I can't blame you all for preferring to sit down to a meal instead of having to carry it around while walking with a young child. Great overview of the Camden Market that truly looks worth exploring on its own for some hours. It's great seeing how they've CLEANED up London in recent years. For many decades it looked rather grimy due to the coal fires' soot coating EVERY building and structure! You said you didn't check out the Tower of London on this trip but I hope you do the next time you have more than a day there (and it's truly like its own city complete with pleasant parks among the ancient historic structures). So LUCKY England proved sunny for your trip! Thanks so much for this!

I wouldn't like lemon or tartar sauce, either. It's salt and vinegar for me, perhaps with a little tomato ketchup on the side. The vinegar must be genuine vinegar, not the NBC (non-brewed condiment) favoured by fish & chip shops because it's cheap. I plan ahead and take a small bottle of Sarsons malt vinegar and the salt cellar in the car. Also, always try to get fish & chips to go in a box, not wrapped. When wrapped, the batter goes soggy very quickly (minutes). If no boxes are available, then at least a cardboard tray. The chippy might charge a bit extra, but it's well worth it.
Please don’t think a real Sunday roast is like a Yorkshire pudding burrito. 🤮. If you ever come back you must try fish and chips add a coastal town. Not a restaurant or a pub but a proper chippy. That means fish and chip shop.

You shouldn't need to saw through battered fish with a knife. I'm sure you could find find better fish and chips elsewhere. Ideally, go to the seaside and patronise a proper 'chippie' (fish & chip shop), not a restaurant or cafe.

That aint fish and chips. Nobody goes to a pub and gets served a poor example of fish and chips, nobody goes to a pub and eats it off a plate with knives and forks. We go to a chippy, usually on the way home from drinking a lot of alcohol. A chippy is open late and usually Chinese. We may get fish and chips or one of tbe 100 diferrent meals available. The fish and chips or whatever meal we ask for is either wrapped in paper or in a styrofoam container, where you eat the stuff cowboy style with your hands on your way home. Believe me, these normal chippy meals, that we all use are much better tastier, and cheaper than going to a pub, and eating fake fish and chips.p

Don't know who commented on this, they can't be from Britain and never had fish and chips. Many years ago , it was a cheap meal that poor families often ate. Now, the price of cod( a fish) has skyrocketed. A fish and chip meal which used to cost pennies now cost many times more, it's coming to the point where it is unafordable for the average poor family. If you're foreign and want the fish and chip experience, nobody in this country goes to a pub and eats it off a plate with knife and fork. That is fake, a lot more expensive and not even as close to being tasty as getting your fish and chips from a chippy, mostly Chinese or Greek, they are open until very late , you will pay cheaper and you eat them wrapped in paper on your way home after a night out drinking a lot of alcohol. No knives or forks, we eat it cowboy style with our hands.

bland! American breakfasts are awful. brush aside the tasteless pancakes and grits your left with crisper up streaky bacon an egg and some sort of round sausage. the only thing Americans can cook is steak.
British savoury meals are EXCRUCIATINGLY bland, just like French, Scandinavian, Russian, and Eastern European food. Straight out of the deep-fryer the only flavour that comes through is cooking oil, how delicious can that be?.
