I still don't get why you guys don't have squash drinks, they're really nice :D Its basically juice that you dilate with water as the juice is way to strong flavour on its own and I heard it could make you a bit sick as well without it being dilated. I didn't realise that you guys didn't have it until I watched some americans youtubers trying squash drinks that they got from us but to my confusion at first, wondering why they drank it without any water and them going its to strong and I'm like of course it is, you need to have lots of water with it! Then after I looked it up and realised you didn't have it, come on guys you need squash :D It also makes me feel nice that I'm drinking lots of water but it tastes pretty good lol

@Vlad Angelus Thanks for the comment, Vlad! I hate spreading misinformation, so I'm sorry if I got that part of the video wrong. Could you link me to an article about this? Everything I read during my research said that Cadbury sold the right to manufacture its chocolate to Hershey because Cadbury couldn't figure out how to establish a market in America. The lawsuit came decades later, when Hershey shut down imports of UK-manufactured Cadbury because it posed a threat to its American-manufactured Cadbury. But yes. Hersheys is garbage that tastes like wax - and not even good wax 😂

this is because of British law about shares in a company. Cad bury didn't want to be bought out originally. Eventually though Kraft Started to buy up all the shares to own a majority stake.

I agree about Cadbury being awful now. Kraft came in and changed the recipe, presumably to make it more profitable. But that's the problem when you decide to become a public company----you are always in danger of being "bought out". What is this dark milk crap?---I've never tried it, but it used to be either milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Yet another great British tradition gone. Kraft can go and shove all of their products where the sun don't shine. Am I angry? You bet your lousy Yankee dollar I am.

Just because you can't see anything on the shell, doesn't mean it's clean. And it doesn't matter how well the chickens are treated, there is still a chance for foreign matter to be on the shell. Now, if you can crack the egg without any of pieces of the shell getting in the egg it's probably OK, but if a piece of shell with foreign matter ends up in the egg, that could be bad.

But not quite - there is a distinct uniqueness to blackcurrant. Since you mentioned you haven’t tried it before, you definitely should! And since you are in France, you’ll have to look for products called «cassis». You should be able to find blackberry jam (confiture de cassis) candy (bonbons de cassis), blackcurrant squash (sirope de cassis) and even blackcurrant liqueur (crème de cassis). Happy blackcurrant hunting! Bonne chasse au cassis! 😀❤️

With the fungus issue I do understand that prohibition on the fruit but why would that extend to flavorings? No fungus could survive that process.

Here in the UK, an amazing drink (and a childhood favourite of mine) is a ‘Henry’. A ‘Henry’ is a mixture of squash (usually orange) and lemonade. A classic favourite honestly, great on a summers day!

Hey guys! I'm so glad you guys aren't keen on Hershey's! I found that the US Cadbury bars are quite bland and I swear down they aren't tempered properly, I was bought a 5KG bar as a birthday present by an american friend, they posted it out to me and everything and I felt super shy saying anything (I was quite young and she was quite cute lol) because it was so sweet to receive a present from over the pond. When I was in the states many years ago we could find no squash at all, but we did find this insanely sugary death powder, you just added water and you got some strange sugar concoction that was trying to masquerade as orange juice... :D There was also some really bizarre breakfast 'cereals' - there was one that still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it! We woke up super early (about 5am) to head over to Cocoa Beach to see the 1995 shuttle launch, So we grabbed some cereal from the store the night before so we could have our breakfast while watching the launch, we discovered one that contained Bananas and Apples and pretty much every fruit you could imagine. We all thought 'this looks fun' and might be somewhat better than Lucky Charms. Well, needless to say, we were wrong, DEAD wrong! Those fruity pieces were nothing more than coloured sugar lumps in disguise! I was so happy the next day because we could go up to hotels breakfast buffet and eat as much fruit as was human possible :D I've waffled on and should probably stop now lol... :D Thank you for the great video :) Take care x

Place I used to go to pub trivia (before the COVID lockdowns) had a monte cristo on their menu (think croque monsieur if that helps) but didn't supply a jam or preserve for dipping or topping; apparently some places consider that an essential element and others just omit it. So I started bringing a little cup of my own preserves whenever I was going to order the monte cristo, and I figured since it was my own meal I could choose whatever flavor I wanted. So I brought blackcurrant. Hey, there's a restaurant in Bisbee that serves their monte cristo with prickly pear jam. The other place I did pub trivia served a "full Irish breakfast", so yes, I've also experienced black pudding. Great stuff. As for haggis, I had to do some work to come up with a Japanese name for it. Eventually settled on "kyōkai hitsuji", which is literally "inside-out sheep".

Blackcurrant popularity goes back to world war two. In 1938 hundreds of acres of blackcurrants were planted to provide high vitamin C juice for children (thats why the Ribena label says "since 1938).

The common Blackcurrant concentrate is "Ribena". It was more expensive than other squashes and a special treat when I was a kid.

As a 47 year old Scotsman, I've been eating haggis as part of my balanced diet for most of my life and it's never made me sick.

Stop saying "blood pudding" it's BLACK PUDDING!!!

The squash picture you showed in the video is called 'Butternut', but there are so many types of 'squash'. Squash, Pumpkin and Gourd are all from the same family of plants; the Cucurbitaceae. These include pumpkin, scallop and zucchini. 'Black pudding' is a typical UK type of blood sausage and is always made from pork blood. In Europe there are a lot of types. Here in the south of the Netherlands we have a local variant called 'balkenbrij' (lit: beam slush). The taste of blood sausage varies strongly from region to region. My personal favourite is the Danish kind (blodpølse), which is predominantly sweet with a strong spicy flavour (cinamon, ginger) and is considered a treat for you eat it fried and usually with syrup.

I’ve seen Ribena (black currant) in my local stores in New York. Also grenadine is similar to “squash”

good to see you got out of quarantine

3:28 swuash is extremly cost effective as a standard £1 bottle of squash can make roughly £8 - £10 worth of drinks. Such as if you bought orange squash and orange juice each for £1 the juice would run out long before the squash would so it is especially useful for large families or family gatherings

Woo! I was the one that suggested "blackcurrant flavoured anything"

I cant believe you guys don't have squash! Kids and everyone drinks nothing but or tea!!, XXXps thank you, you guys are very respectful of the differences and it's very kind of you xxx great research and reporting with integrity newly subbed love from the UK xxx 🙂

I seem to remember a lot of black pudding manufacturers went bust when the UK really tightened the hygiene rules surrounding the making of black pudding commercially. Also, many manufacturers now use dried blood as it's easier to meet those hygiene rules. A black pudding is required on pain of death in a full fry-up, as is baked beans, mushrooms, bacon, egg, sausage, toast and a cup of tea.

Kraft Foods (now known as Mondelez) actually owns quite a few British food and drink brands, according to Wikipedia KFs owns not only Cadbury (which they are trying to ruin) but also Dairylea 'Laughing cow' cheese products, Jacob's crackers (and therefore Mini Cheddars, British version of Goldfish basically), Terry's chocolate, Capri Sun and Tassimo. I know the last two can be bought most places (including the States) but of the many 'drink' brands the Mondelez Wiki page had on it those two I know you can buy in Supermarkets in the UK, there was one apparently British coffee company listed but I've never heard of the so either their tiny or they have since acquisition gone bust

When you're next in the UK you absolutely HAVE to try black pudding. It took me 20 years to get my head around the blood ingredient , but when I finally plucked up the courage to eat it, it was amazing and I never looked back. I'm from the South West of England and in Devon/Cornwall we have "hogs pudding" that you should look into as well- traditionally served at breakfasts.

I've tasted both the UK & US Cadburys, and the US one doesn't taste as creamy in my opinion. I can't remember the source, but I once read that the reason the US version tastes less creamy is due to it being made to have a higher melting point. If they made the chocolate as they do in the UK in the US, it would be more likely to melt. This is due to the majority of US states having higher average temperatures than that of the UK. If you have a bar of Cadburys in your food cupboard on a very hot summer day in the UK, you can guarantee the top layer of the bar will be melted!

Hi, in the uk you can buy squash (which you need to dilute), fruit juice, which is what it says, and fruit juice with added water which it has to say on the carton. The last 2 are usually next to each other so you need to check, ie: read the label.

As well as Black currents, there is red currents and white currents, not so common but available in some supermarkets when in season

here we have juice which is what i think you were describing as already diluted juices and their more common but people also buy concentrated drinks like blackcurrent when there are more people around as it doesnt go off and many people can drink it without needing to buy more since you only take a little at a time then add water. this means that its great forstuff like childrens parties

In one of the Raymond Chandler books he talked about drinking Gimlets made with gin and Roses lime juice. Lime juice is just a form of fruit squash.
