Hi, I'm Josh.
I'm Ollie.
And today we are in London's most famous food market.
To get the best Christmas food London has to offer.
I’m excited.
I hope you’re hungry?
I am hungry and I'm also happy because today's episode is sponsored by Fiverr.
There's more about that later and a special surprise for you,
that I've been working on for about three months.
Oh no.
Alright, let's eat some food.
First up, we're going for the ultimate Christmas sandwich, the Sleigher.
The Sleigher!
You know me, I love a good wordplay.
You do.
I do.
I love a good wordplay.
Every time we try and come up with a name for a series, the amount of puns.
And then we never go with a pun.
We never ever go with a pun.
Oh, look at that pork.
Slow cooking in that egg.
How long has this been cooked for, the pork?
We cook it overnight actually.
Overnight?
Yes, overnight.
So it's super, super, super soft.
Oh my gosh.
Absolutely Fantastic.
I will take that off your hands.
You absolutely sleighed that mate.
He sleighed it!
Look at that badman.
Oh my gosh.
Let's do it.
The Sleigher.
Okay, that's Christmassy.
Wow.
The slow cooked pork is so tender.
Absolutely incredible.
The sweetness of the cranberry sauce, absolutely incredible.
It literally tastes festive.
It's like a whole Christmas meal in a sandwich.
Absolutely incredible.
You know what I think really makes this sandwich is the nuts and the crispy spices.
It tastes like the seasoning on top of a turkey.
It's almost like the crispy skin, you know when you've properly baked a turkey.
And a little hint of the stuffing.
It's so good.
With the sage and everything, right?
First taste of Christmas this year.
We're off to a good start.
We are.
Very strong.
What's that I hear, Josh?
Is that the early labour pains of Mary giving birth to Jesus?
Because Christmas has begun.
What the hell?
I thought you were going to make a sleigh reference.
The bells of a sleigh on the Sleigher.
The water's broken.
Okay, I'm out.
Onto the next stop, Josh.
It is a festive favourite, the mince pie.
Look at that.
Shortcrust butter pastry mince pie!
Oh my gosh.
Hello.
Oh my gosh, I really want a Pain.
I'm going to get a Pain Suisse to go.
I know we have a lot to eat today, but I'm still going to get one to go.
Okay.
Look at those brioche buns, they look like cartoon buns.
Can we get two mince pies, please?
Pain Suisse as well.
And a brioche bun.
Thank you very much good sir.
Have a lovely day.
We came to the store to buy two mince pies.
This was my segment of the video.
Look at that bun.
We've come away with so much.
Is that not a picture perfect bun?
Did you just get a brioche bun.
Look at it.
Look how soft it looks.
Why did you get a brioche bun.
Look how soft it looks!
Josh's raw enthusiasm for food.
In fairness, I just said, "Wow, look at those buns".
And Ollie goes, "One of them please".
Wait, did I order it?
Yeah.
And a brioche bun.
Oh, okay.
And now we've got mince pies.
We've got to get some mulled wine.
It would be rude not to.
Wow.
Can we grab two mulled wines?
Yes.
Okay, I've got a little surprise for Josh now.
He is very confused.
He actually doesn't really like surprises.
We'll see how this goes.
Let's give these bad boys a try.
These bad boys.
There's nothing like a mince pie.
It's the whole season of Christmas in one bite.
It's like eating a Christmas tree, but way less scratchy.
Almost just snotted everywhere.
Look at that!
That's a very good mince pie.
It’s definitely the best mince pie in the whole wide market.
Is it the only one?
Cheers.
Happy Christmas.
And a merry new year.
What's inside, mince pie filling?
Oh, wow.
Is that hot custard?
Love custard.
Whoa.
Yes.
What's this?
Marshmallows!
This is also marshmallows that we're doing for Christmas.
Fantastic.
Oh, yes.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
Wow.
Thank you.
Okay, amazing.
If you want any more custard just come back, it's bottomless.
Custard is bottomless!
Wow.
That is dangerous.
So bottomless custard.
Custard from around the bottom.
Oh, that's good.
Very, very good custard.
That's really good.
Slightly spiced.
Oh my gosh, that's really good!
Oh my gosh, there's a crumblepocalypse.
That's really damn good.
That's actually a lot better than I was expecting.
Marshmallow on custard.
How the hell does that work so well?
Freaking works!
How have we never tried that before?
The crumble topping to filling ratio, perfect.
I've never thought about how crumble filling is not dissimilar from mince pie filling.
It's true.
It's just a bunch of fruits.
It's like spiced apple, isn't it?
Spiced.
Oh, it look like there is some raisins.
It's less intense than a normal mince pie filling.
I don't know.
Holy moly, that is good.
Just absolutely decadent.
The Englishness in me is triggered by requesting bottomless custard.
Why?
I know that he offered it.
He did.
But a lot of things in our culture we offer, but we don't mean.
It's like when someone stands up to leave.
And they're like, "I really should be going", and you're like, "No, no, you shouldn't..."
Knowing full well they should have left half an hour ago.
That's what you mean every time you tell me I should stay longer at your house.
No, it doesn't apply to you.
What next, Josh?
In the UK especially, you can't have Christmas without some Christmas pudding.
It's true.
Typically made back in early November, I think, on Stir-up Sunday.
Don't you let it ferment under the bed?
Isn't that a tradition?
No, that's the bed pan.
Okay, that's not...
Wowzers.
Hello.
Do you make these on the official Christmas pudding making day?
Stir up Sunday?
No.
Okay.
No, we make them on the second week of June.
Of June?!
So they've been fermenting, developing that flavour.
Well, exactly, maturing they call it.
Perfect, six months.
So we've been making them for 25 years, it's just me and my mother.
Really? That's amazing.
So basically she used to make all the cheesecakes for Harrods,
So she's been doing this for years.
Love this.
And I just come up to London and sell them every year.
Oh my gosh.
So do you just fill the kitchen in June with Christmas pudding mix?
Yeah, it just goes nuts.
I bet.
250 kilos at a time in one mixer.
250 kilos!
And then you put them under the bed?
Is that a tradition?
Not under my bed, no.
You'd have to have a bunk bed.
If someone wants to hold the ladle for me please...
Oh yeah, absolutely.
So you can pour that over.
Okay, shall I go now?
Go for it.
Yeah?
Yep.
There you go.
Wow, look at that.
Some brandy butter.
Brandy butter, my favourite thing.
It's alight! Briefly.
Yeah, I think it's a bit windy out here.
Yeah, if you're at the dinner table, it's a bit easier.
You should have a little try.
Amazing.
Alright, let's do this.
Look at that.
Get involved mate.
Oh, you're feeding me? Okay.
Okay.
Oh wow, that's rich, that flavour.
Oh, that is incredible.
Oh my gosh.
Wow!
I have a lot of people that come to my market stand and they say,
I don't like Christmas pudding,
And I just immediately say, "Well you’ve never tasted a good one".
I mean, that's like Christmas pudding concentrate, you know?
That is unreal.
Oh my gosh.
Mate, you need to try it.
Seriously?
Best I've ever had.
Best Christmas pudding.
I don’t even like christmas pudding.
No, no.
That’s what he said.
How could anyone not like that!
Yeah, exactly.
Andy you don't like Christmas pudding?
I hate Christmas pudding.
You hate Christmas pudding?
Alright, moment of truth.
Ok, that doesn’t taste anything like Christmas pudding.
That's nice!
No, it has all the flavours of Christmas pudding, But without the tangy like intensity,
So much more smooth, but still the flavours.
Rich.
This is so good!
It is so good!
It literally tastes like Christmas.
Well that has been the best Christmas food...
In London.
Yeah.
It's been amazing actually.
I am extremely full of Christmas.
I'm ready for a nap, which means it must be Christmas.
Indeed.
A nap, and an afternoon tantrum.
Okay.
Okay yeah.
