Hiya folks it might sound pretty weird to you but whenever I go abroad one of the things
that really fascinate me & I know it's a bit of a random thing but going into foreign supermarkets
and looking at the shelves. 'haha look what they call crisps aren't they
silly' No don't get me wrong i'm not talking about
things like *** soup, vegepoo or even megapussi crisps - megapussi crisps... oh my god. Ok,
we're alright i'm talking about that stuff when you walk into a supermarket and take
it for granted we've got like a whole WorldWide community right here and I just go to my supermarket
and get stuff from the shelf and you guys are like what? What's that!? So here's a few
things from the UK that you might not know about, you may be able to get it your Country
you might be lucky but you might just wanna give it a try.
Alright so number one is twiglets no these are not twigs although they do look a lot
like them if you were to go around the woods and pick up a load of twigs and dip them in
marmite / vegimite / yeast extract whatever you want to call it and then eat them that's
essentially it and these old lady fingers are pretty darn addictive they're baked wholewheat
and they taste a bit like a crispbread if you pass them round the room at christmas
time some people are like no but others will jump in right in there wanting to go ugggh
like that and that is just how I feel. Now the only down side to twiglets is it makes
your hands pretty darn dirty i've only dunked them in there a couple of times and look at
my fingers they're pretty darn dark and dirty oh yeah does come off but that is super super
strong so if you're thinking of carrying out a crime and want to cover up your finger prints
take some twiglets along baby. Next up is after eights and I know some of
you don't know what these are because when I made a giant of these with James some of
you were like 'what's an after eight?!' so let me show you.
So after eights are like a sophisticated chocolate and they come mainly around christmas time
but you can get them any time of year in the shops here and they come in an individual
sheath yes so it's in an individual sheath or parcel if you wanna call it that it's really
think rich dark chocolate surrounding a very strong mint which is almost the same strength
as toothpaste maybe you could brush your teeth with these so if I snap it like that and look
how thin that layer is trust me these things are super addictive I don't know why they
are called after eights but on all there marketing you see only eat them after eight even the
sheath has got a clock with 5 past eight on it well it's twenty past nine in the morning
right now, i'm pretty confident nothing bad is gonna happen...... what?....... woof woof.
Next up is tunnocks tea cakes now these things are amazing, tunnocks, tunnocks tea cakes,
they come individually wrapped in foil like NASA style so be careful if you have fillings
don't want that electric shock thing uh, I don't but you could have bad teeth know what
i'm saying, so this is basically a chocolate dome of marshmallow with a biscuit base and
I really wanna make a giant one of these when you bite into it it's so good! And that's
all it is simplicity biscuit base, loads of marshmallow and chocolate surrounding it - you
bite into it and sometimes you get some on your lips i'd like to think i'm over that
stage now i'm not a kid anymore. What?!. But I will make a giant one of these you must
try them. Next up is bacon flavour crisps / frazzles
- amazing! The frazzles came in first just ahead of pickled onion flavour monster munch
now if you want to clear a room you just open a bag of these and if you're eating them whooo
you will get trumps they bring back bad memories when I was playing video games with my friend
he used to eat pickled onion monster munch pass me the remote control when we were playing
sonic the hedgehog and they'd be pickled onion crisps all over it, not good.
ahhh I love that bacon smell when you open these they are like oh my goodness bacon going
wow! straight out of the bag they smell like bacon, they look like bacon little bacon rashers
and hmmm they tastes like it too. Now these are some fondant fancies although
i've noticed they are re-branded to french fancies so maybe you can get them in france
they remind me of my grandparents. They come in a little tray like this can you see that
very pretty chocolate, strawberry and lemon flavour in there and they're very good! So
again individually wrapped a lot of wrapping going on today *pretends to rap* so yeah this
is the strawberry one i'm just gonna bite straight into it right down so you can see
it all hmmm you got cake, icing and that little bit of fondant right in the middle, can you
see that? Oh my goodness. Now fondant fancies remind me of my grandparents because whenever
I went to visit them they would always magically have a fondant fancy and no matter how much
you didn't want it you would always end up eating it.
So they would start with a nice approach 'oooh hello barry would you like a fondant fancy'
then they'd do the mischievous approach 'ooh barry I think i've ran out of fondant fancies....
just kidding there you go, eat it, eat it'. 'hello nice to meet you would you like a fondant
fancy', ' barry please take the fondant fancy' 'take the fondant fancy barry' 'take it' 'take
it barry' 'TAKE THE GOD DAMN FONDANT FANCY' yeah it was just like that so I grew up eating
these things but it was either that or celery and that's how I keep my figure really so
give these a try vanilla fondant cakes with a little icing, very addictive indeed.
Next up is love hearts some funky little sweets which I am blaming as the route cause of teenage
pregnancy here in the UK. So Years ago these sweets used to have really nice messages like
'call me' and 'write me a letter' and 'you have nice ears' stuff like that but nowadays
it's stuff like 'wicked' on it or email me or poke me on facebook please don't take that
the wrong way. 'Marry me' marry me?! If i'm a kid and i'm
at school and i'm giving that to a little girl at school innocently marry me the next
day she's gonna be expecting me to turn up with a ring Hear me out guys bottom line is
these are nice sweets a sherbert sweet they are hard with a nice little crunch *crunch*
zingy if you get hold of them give them a go but don't expect anything more.
Next up is another old skool sweet called a dip dab basically a strawberry lolly that's
in a little sachet like this boom see that powder coming out right there? Strawberry
lolly and it's covered, that I promise you my friends is sherbert not something else.
So that's it about a dib dab really it's a strawberry lolly, you dunk it in sherbert
zingy and you can go to town on it my friends the only thing you gotta worry about is having
a bit of an R Kelly moment ' my mind's telling me no' and you get the sherbert all over your
face, that can happen and it's not a good look.
So next up is some flying saucers these are pretty darn cool things I think quite recently
they got voted the most popular sweet in the UK ever although they change that every Year
but it's like a Willy Wonka thing going on stop it can you hear that *makes rattling
noise* it's edible paper with a sherbert in the middle so normally you stick the whole
thing in your mouth let me show you bite into that edible paper and in the middle there's
like little bits of sherbert right there, so, so so good. Look they are two tone too
there's nothing else more to say other than here's a cool fact one of my friends mums
managed to convince me up to the age of 24 that these actually came from outer space.
Next up is popping candy, it's candy that pops, yep candy that pops and the good thing
is it's suitable for vegetarians so Bryan Adams thumbs up here we go hmmm *starts to
crackle and pop* it's popping on my tongue wow that's good I think the one I got was
strong like a super strong acid one we'll go with that - so yeah popping candy super
sweet, super poppy a little bit pointless but people put it on cakes and donuts to surprise
people 'oh it pops' all that stuff so maybe give that a try if you want popping candy
for me reminds me of a story my old next door neighbour years ago Matthew Bowen alright
mate if you are watching years ago I must have been about 12 we went to get our hair
cut and we went in the shop next door to get some popping candy beforehand we were eating
it in the barbers bit silly I know and my friend was getting his hair cut first and
we were making the lady who was cutting his hair laugh. And she ended up taking a little
snip with the scissors off his ear a little bit of his ear and he was like aghhhhhhh and
at the time we were so young an innocent we didn't do anything about it but really we
could have sued that girl, made some monies! Last up is Cadburys chocolate now I am really
passionate about cadburys chocolate so please don't wind me up about it don't say 'I can
get that in my Country' because I've been over to America in those International shelves
'you've got cadbury's chocolate!' that is not cadburys chocolate all they've done is
got some man who's gone 'oh yeah i've got some mud from a field and i've got some cadburys
chocolate wrappers, what we'll do is wrap the wrapper around the mud and put it on the
shelf' that is all it is it is not the same it tastes really weird and they are corrupting
your mind. This my friends is the trump card of cadburys
chocolate it is a cadburys flake it's been around for years there's that advert with
the woman in the bath going 'urghhh' oh my gosh I don't know what she's doing with that
flake but she's having some fun. Quite a sensual chocolate this one you pull
it back you've got this mighty chocolate log in there with shards running down the shaft
so so good but when you bite into it what I tend to find sometimes half of it goes on
the floor. You actually find yourself looking around on the floor for little bits of flake
that have dropped off that you wanna put in your mouth it tastes that good it's smooth
and succulent it could re-float the titanic my friends - the Cadburys flake.
Oh ^*%& got my jeans caught! heeeyaaaa so that's it my friends that's ten
UK snacks I think you should try investigate or research further there's so many more I
could show you like jaffa cakes, rainbow drops, humbugs 'ba humbug!' rock candy - sticks of
rock from the seaside where I live all that stuff I could have gone to town on this but
just thought i'd show you a few. If you have anything from your country that you wanna
send to me get in touch as long as it's individually wrapped still no crazy stuff going on i'll
probably give it a try, if you enjoyed this video don't forget to give it a thumbs up,
share, subscribe comment all that stuff, see you next time!
