My father worked at Heinz 57, in Harlesden , London. It used to be one of the major employees in London. It was based in Waxlow Road. Right next door to a Macvittie's factory. The smell of the biscuits cooking, was divine. Even now I would pass a blind tasting session of products, and recognise the Heinz products. I can even know whats in a tin , with no label on it. I knew how to read the codes on the tin. Dad would bring , tinned goods home, where the label was missing. To this day, I miss Heinz tinned puddings. Chocolate, Treacle Sponge, Mixed fruit and especially The Heinz Christmas Pudding. Trust me Mrs. Peaks Christmas Pudding, couldn't touch HEINZ. The Heinz London factory closed down during the 1980's. Most of the staff were made redundant and most had worked for Heinz 57, for many years, It closed down at a time when "Job for life" was ending.

Double cream just being out on a shelf and not refrigerated is weird and probably explains why it looked separated and almost clotted, in a bad way.

It's also worth noting that British flapjacks are not what Americans think of as flapjacks: American ones are a type of pancake; whereas British ones are made with oats, butter, golden syrup and usually some dried fruit added.

Cadburys use different recipes around the world. For example, in Australia their chocolate has a much more waxy texture, because if it was made the same as in the UK then it would melt far too readily in AU temperatures, you wouldn't be buying bars of chocolate, you'd be buying packets of chocolate soup!

You can mix oats and golden syrup together with some melted butter, bake it and you get delicious flapjacks 😁

1:47 Can't belive they have Mila and Horalky (Czech wafers)! And only twice as expensive as in Czech republic :)

You can make your own clotted cream you know! There are recipes on the internet if you search for them. Basically you heat whipping cream (not ultra heat heated though) (35% - 40%BF) for a 10-12 hours at low temp (170F would be typical). Let it cool for a few hours.Then skim off the clotted cream that has floated to the top over a watery liquid.)

I live in England (originally from N Yorks but live in S Oxfordshire), but will eventually retire in Bulgaria with my wife...but the one thing I can never find there is good tea - they cater for the herbal and fruit teas - but I can't live without a cup of Yorkshire - I'll be travelling back every year to visit family (just to pick up some home comforts!!!)

11:00 Colman's mustard for only 4 bucks isn't too bad honestly.

Google says there isn't really an equivalent for double cream in the US because the butterfat content is much higher than anything you get in the US. The closest equivalent is heavy cream and we can use it for whipping too but we also use it as it is as condiment for desserts like you would ice cream, custard or whipped cream. I've never seen it in a shop out of the fridge section so that may be why it looks that way

All Marmite peanut butter needs to shine is some toast!! It's an excellent breakfast.

- Some of the packaging looks different, so it's probably made for the US market or imported from Canada. - Basically any spread is designed to be eaten on toast. - Golden syrup is mostly used for baking. - Some of those prices are so expensive that I doubt they sell many at all! I think the cheese was the most reasonable, but is probably produced locally. The beans in the last place and some of the beers also weren't badly priced. - Contrary to popular belief, we do actually use the word "cookies" in the UK. The soft, chewy ones are cookies and the hard, crunchy ones are biscuits. - Burts crisps are lovely, but they're definitely a smaller brand. - Double cream is what you call heavy cream (basically higher fat content than single). However, I've never seen it in a jar or unrefrigerated before! Clotted cream is much thicker (like way thicker than whipped cream), hence the name.

I've tried these peanut puffs that were Slovakian and they were absolutely delicious. I was told Lidl did a version of them called peanut flipz, best thing ever! Now they don't have them and I can't find them anywhere 😭😭

Golden syrup is in loads of uk desserts. Flapjack, steamed puddings, spiced cakes, tea loafs, gingerbread biscuits ect. It’s pretty much guaranteed to be in all treacle based desserts, and has either now completely replaced or is placed with black treacle, dependent on taste. It’s like a thicker than honey consistency, and tastes like homemade caramel before you add the cream.

Hello Cara and Jeremy. Back in the 1990s, I toured US with a friend. I found Samuel Smiths Yorkshire bitter in a bar on Route 66 in Flagstaff. By the time we got to Portland Oregon we were a bit homesick. We went for a few Guinness in an Irish pub and then to a Chinese restaurant for Mongolian beef as a substitute for an Indian curry. Golden syrup is good on UK style pancakes and on leftover Yorkshire puddings as an after dinner treat. I recently watched a US reaction channel do videos on making such things in US, but they only had maple syrup, which is OK, but not the same.

Yes the orange label Golden curry is quite close to a chippy curry sauce.

Golden Syrup is effectively a replacement for honey. I haven't bought it for years, now I just buy honey instead, but I used to use it on toast with butter, or on pancakes, or drizzle a little of it onto vanilla ice-cream, or you can use it in baking, but I imagine there are plenty of other uses for it.

As a Brit who has lived in the US (not recently) there seems to be some sort of feeling that English food is the same as UK food.....and alot of names of things change too....I think that is possibly why there isn't much of a BRITISH food section in US stores?

Check out recipes for golden pudding to use golden syrup. It's like an upside down cake. Had have it with Bird's custurd. I've only ever had peanut butter as a savoury spread. On hot buttered toast.

We used to have a British Tea room and shop in Lake Oswego called Lady Di's, it was started by a British lady called Diane, another British lady Mrs Stephens ran it for many many years, she did a wonderful job, from food sales to English Teas sold in one half of the Shop, an American lady bought it and with in a year or so it closed, we bought all our British food supplies from that shop for about 15-20 years. Costplus World Market in Keizer used to carry a lot of British things but nothing close to Lady Di's, we don't shop there much as selection has gotten very poor, the one shown in Portland looks amazing, far better than the Keizer store, these days we rely on a place from California and Amazon sometimes has what we need. We buy Irish Sausage from New York, by the time we add 2 day shipping its around $18 per pound, its very good sausage. I really enjoyed this video Thanks.

World Market is a good place to buy British stuff. It's a place you can pretty much always find Marmite and an OK selection of biscuits and tea. They have Yorkshire, PG Tips, etc. I love Twiglets. I'd say give Heinz Salad Cream a try. It's good as a sandwich spread and also as a salad dressing. It's got a nice tangy/sweet flavor. I was surprised at how much more expensive US prices were compared to UK prices. Nice to see a bit of Portland as well. Portland is one of my favorite cities here in the US.

I don't know that we've tried it. We will have to in the future!

Samuel Smiths pubs are located all over the UK!

Just spread marmite peanut butter on hot buttered toast, crumpets or muffins. You could also put it on top of cheese on toast (or what you call grilled cheese) 😋

Thats cool. Whenever you feel like a UK night in, make some fish and chips, grab some original British snacks, make a brew and chill watching Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Looks like you got the UK weather there too 😁. I think Terry's Chocolate Orange is originally by Terry's of York, England. They probably have factory's making it in other countries too and they just happened to get the French ones in 🍊

The Mars corporation biscuits are in Sainsbury’s! Galaxy cookies I haven’t seen so many varieties!
