@The Magic Geekdom Seeing as your in Bath about 25 miles away from you is the Birth place of Cheddar Cheese and England's deepest and most beautiful Gorge with Caves you have to check out Cheddar Gorge, and taste the traditional cave matured cheddar cheese. The history of the caves and the history of how cheddar cheese was made then matured in the caves is mind blowing

Branston pickle is not something you'd generally eat on its own, you should have tried it with the cheese! I'm surprised they were offering a Ploughman's Lunch with chips, traditionally it's eaten with fresh, crusty bread.

As a boy and teenager I was at school and lived in this beautiful city back in the 1950s and have many happy memories. It is great to see it thriving, with so many businesses bringing it alive now. I can easily understand your own enthusiasm for it. Keep finding fun and interest in your entertaining UK travels.

10:18 I'm with Jeremy on the steak and blue cheese pie with chips and red onion gravy. Comfort food heaven, if there ever was one....

I lived on the tourist bus route in Bath for many years. Saturdays and Sundays were the days when we would mess with the tourists, as our windows were right at the same level as the top deck of the bus. I won't say the things my housemates and I did, but let's just say that Japanese tourists never knew where to look, while others would just laugh. I now know how zoo animals feel.

Funny watching you have a ploughman's lunch with no bread, it's about the thick bread and the cheese and pickles put on it 😂

However, one of the big reasons we love your videos is because you guys try the foods and that's our biggest thing when we go new places.

There are also so many interesting museums to see in Bath plus the Jane Austin museum and a guided tour around the famous Assembley Rooms is a must to see how the Georgians entertained themselves. At 4pm most days you can go on a relaxing boat ride from Pultney Wier. How about bathing in warm thermal spring water on the roof top with wonderful views of the Bath skyline, in the Bath Thermae? There are also many beautiful parks to walk in and relax - The National Trust Prior park is an impressive one to visit.

Love this. I used to live in bath and it made me want to go back and visit. Techically that's not a ploughmans, but it looked delicious. A ploughmans is usually made up mainly of at least one cheese, maybe ham and/or other cold meats, pickles and crusty bread. They sometimes now come with a salad, but not usually that large, and I've never had one with chips. I had a ploughmans yesterday and it was a huge slab of baked ham, a massive chunk of Cheddar, bread and pickles, and a small salad on the side of the plate. I would consider that salad and chips. 😂 Often the tourist heavy places don't do things as authentically, which I'm sure is the same in th US. A pub out of town would be more likely to have a decent ploughmans. I had one in a rural pub in Cornwall that didn't have any gluten free bread for me so they added extra ham and cheese, and my father in law had to help me eat it all, there was so much.

You're supposed to eat the pickle as an accompaniment to the cheese and bread. It's not really meant to be eaten as an individual dish, but in combination with the other items. It's a bit like if you have a bowl of tomato ketchup and start eating it with a spoon on it's own. That doesn't really work.

I lived in Bath from 1992 to 2011. Think I only went to Sally Lunn's once in all that time. Didn't think the buns were all that special for the price. Apart from the Raven, the other places you visited are all new to me. New cafes, bars and restaurants are popping up all the time and a lot has changed in the last 11 years.

We love Bath and will be there in May! Anyway, I have eaten at both Sally Lunn and The Bath Bun...and the buns are about the same. We love the food at the Bath Bun restaurant, I get the Wiltshire ham and local white cheddar sandwich...which I dream about after I get back home and my daughter likes the baked potato with baked beans and cheese. Yum.

We need to head back to Bath it's such a lovely place. The ham and cheddar sandwich sounds wonderful!

Love Bath, need to go back soon. Onion Bhaji with tamarind is a wonderful thing The Branston with the Cheddar or Red Leicester tastes better than just the pickle, sweet and savoury, yum! You're right about doing things before you retire, but life does get in the way and of course, few people in the US get long enough time off work to do anything at all! You are really packing it and and I'm enjoying your videos
