I find it funny that haggis/black pudding are the only ones that isn't love/hate because of the flavour but expectation that the contents will put you off.

@Hinge Thunder. You're not wrong. I'm a born and bred Londoner and I won't eat liver or kidneys. Just hearing here what part of the animal haggis and black pudding are from could make me turn vegetarian in a nanosecond - and I just had yummy roast lamb for dinner!
We've always had a Haggis every Burns night despite no-one in my family being Scottish. Took me a long time to realise that's not normal and most people haven't ever tried it!

Deep fried mars bars were a staple when I was at high school in Australia. One of the rare special treats at that boarding school was getting one in town on shopping day. The cafe owners kept a selection of different chocolate bars in the freezer just for deep frying. Though I don't think anyone would have ever even dreamed of frying a creme egg.

As a Londoner (living in Oz) I agree about the meat pie and mushy peas. I prefer Marmite over Vegemite but even as a Londoner, I wouldn't eat jellied eels. And as for haggis and black pudding, with all due respect to those who enjoy them, it's a no from me.
Brown Sauce: Like but it has to HP Jellied Eels: 🤮 Liquorice Allsorts: YUM - I love Liquorice Mushy Peas: I'm a southerner but YUM especially with mint Deep fried everything: Nice but it now gives me heartburn Chips: YES YES YES YES with salt, vinegar, and a bit of ketchup and mayo mixed together and always with a battered sausage Christmas Pudding: I once vomited after eating one so HATE Haggis: EWWW Black Pudding: EWWW Marmite: YUM YUM - I dated a guy who was allergic - we didn't last long!

Brown sauce is very good in a beef stew. 😋 I love liquorice all-sorts, especially the jellies and the pink ones. 😋 I've only tried jellied eels once, they were fishy and rubbery. Weird. 🥴 I've alway got a tin of mushy peas in my tin cupboard. 😋 I once ate 20 spam fritters at school. 😁😋 I'm fond of mayonnaise on my chips, although I'm a Brit, and it's a Belgian habit, apparently. 😁 I hate Christmas pudding with added nuts. 😝 I've had Haggis, and loved it, but I don't have an ounce of Scot in me, but I am a quarter Irish. 😁 I adore black pudding and Marmite. 😋 Does anyone remember Dr Who's Candyman, who resembled Bertie Bassett and Bassett's were furious with the BBC? 😁
I'm perfectly happy munching away on all of those, in fact i'm quite peckish now after watching! It's definitely brown sauce for me as well.

I love that Marmite is number 1. I've lived in Australia for over 30 years and when us UK ex-pats are heading home for a holiday we always ask our closest friends if they want anything bringing back from duty-free. My friends love me because I couldn't care less about cheap booze, fags or perfume. I just say: can you go to Tescos and get me a jar of Marmite?" 😂

There's a few I like on this list. To me chips is an obvious ones and I love "scraps" although I'm from the north east and we call them scrapings.

Funnily enough, we call it batter. I had to look up what that entry was referring to. So even the region can't agree what to call it!
I'm American, not Canadian, but my favorite way to eat chips is vegetarian poutine. Lots of squeaky cheese curds and bubbling hot mushroom gravy.
Got mine right as I'm from the South and have Mayo but I'm the only one in my family who does and we're all from the same area. My brother and Mum will only have ketchup and my Dad Vinegar or Brown sauce!
As an American with English blood in my heritage, I love the licorice all sorts, Christmas pud (with hard sauce mmmmm), and chips (with ketchup). I'd give the mushy peas and brown sauce a go, but everything else on the list looks and sounds revolting.

The Scots excel at deep frying, you can even get battered haggis and black pudding at the chippie. Pizza crunch with loads of vinegar is my fave though, it’s so wrong but so right. Needless to say, I don’t have too often.
Marmite is my childhood. Had it with rice porridge and it's the only way I'll eat it. We even have pork ribs and chicken here cooked with Marmite. Also tried black pudding when I went to London one time, love it.

I've lived in Australia for over 30 years and I used to make Christmas puds (and Christmas cakes) from scratch, in September, from recipes in an old English cookbook that migrated with me. The ingredients cost a bomb but everyone adored them. Then I stopped making them. I hate to admit it, but my local supermarket's "luxury" Christmas puds and cakes are as good as anything I could make myself. And they are a lot cheaper!
I've loved Allsorts since I was a little kid. We could get them in the U.S. (harder to find them now), especially in movie theaters. As far as deep-frying candy bars, that's typical fair food. County Fairs will have all kinds of things deep-fried - candy, ice cream, all manner of savory foods and even butter. The closest we have to brown sauce is A1 steak sauce or Worcestershire sauce - I'm fine with both. (The latter mixed with melted butter is great on popcorn.) Any kind of fries (chips) are fine, although I'm a minimalist, so just salt for me. I also like Christmas pudding and fruitcake. However, I'll pass on the eels (jellied or any other way), haggis, mushy peas, black pudding and marmite.
The ingredients are fresh and you seem to be good at cooking. I'll come back to see recipes later. Have a nice day ~~😀
At least French Fries aka Chips and Deep Fried food are still being loved to this day.
No wonder why Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Malaysian, Vietnamese, Indonesian Italian, Spanish, French, African, Dutch, Belgium .......... American and Middle Eastern Restaurants are so popular in UK.
With my ancestry being in England, Ireland and Scotland, I grew up with some of these dishes. I love fish and chips and my favourite way of eating chips (french fries) is with lots of gravy and if that's not available, salt and vinegar is the next best thing!!! Yummy!!
I was honestly surprised that Bubble and squeak wasn't on the list (one of my favourite foods) 😅!
The best way to have chips, was from the Toon Takeaway in the Bigg Market. Chips, cheese and mayonnaise, eaten while walking down the quayside, for one more drink.
8: Something the UK can agree with germany. We Haribo it up with the coconut licorice.
Hilarious - I have eaten them all - well not a deep fried Mars bar. They are all edible and sustain the nation. Many are my favourites. Well done - Glad to have watched.
As an American: With regards to #10, it sounds like Brown Sauce in the UK is similar to Heinz 57 sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or A1 Steak Sauce for us Yanks. I do love 57 on some things like fries/chips. With regards to #6, we do love to deep fry things as well that should never be deep-fried, like Twinkies. I swear, a bunch of potheads had to come up with these ideas. With regards to #5, we love ketchup on our fries, but I do understand that other countries love to add mayo or other condiments on their fries, or chips. With regards to #4, Christmas Pudding sounds like Fruit Cake for us, with the exception of lighting it on fire prior to eating it. Alot of us just avoid the cake altogether. With regards to #1, Marmite sounds like Nutella here in The States. I've never tried it, but it's popular over here.

Living in Canada I love HP Sauce, Liquorice All Sorts & Chips ( with malt vinegar and salt)Due to health concerns the fish and chips shops here have stopped wrapping fish n chips in newspapers......Is black pudding the same as blood pudding? No mention of bangers?

I liked the Zippy and Paddington Marmite ads.
The correct answer to what goes on chips from the chippy is a lot of vinegar, some salt, plenty of Cheese and Mince on top
I'm Cornish and have rarely seen cheesy chips there. I never even heard of it until I went to mainland Europe

You should give haggis a try. I promise it tastes nice.
HP Brown sauce on beef and steak sarnies. Ketchup on scrambled eggs and nothing else. Never had jellied eels. Can't say I want to, but I love seafood. Please don't tell the rabbi. Licorice, yes; Allsorts, most not all. Mushy peas. Why is this even a question? The answer is yes, of course. I had deep-fried cheesecake in Macon, Georgia. Absolutely amazing. Chips. Seriously? Lived off chip butties as a student, couldn't afford anything else. Anyone from Derby knows what a pea or bean mix is. Plum pudding. Yep, but all times of through the winter. Haggis. Dammit, yes. Black pudding. Is it kosher? Marmite. Just imagine, what you're eating contributed to the production of Marston's Pedigree, it is therefore entirely the best thing. Fried liver, yep; steak and kidney pie, yep. If you'd asked about tripe, then that would be a no.
A bit of both sauces on a bacon and egg sandwich ,then there's batter bits if a chippy doesn't do it there not a chippy.
People hate chips? Hmm Malt vinegar is necessary + salt & mayo Love marmite Christmas pudding is ok and we normally have one during Xmas dinner. Usually gluten free and without brandy HP sauce is ok Mushy peas are ok depending on who does them
