hi i'm josh i'm ollie i'm doofy duval
and today we are going to be trying the
best british desserts
all right excited
right off the bat do we call you doobity
bab or do we call you doobie or do we
call you tina
for the longest time i thought you were
a booby dude
and then i every time i look searched it
on youtube
oh okay
it was like oh no
and then josh said it the other day
and i was like of course
of course of course
no it's funny though because i have like
a private account like for my friends
and it's booby doo bob oh so you read my
mind
i was accidentally your friend
you're here in london i've been
following your vlogs as you go around
london eating your way around i haven't
seen much british food on there so far
yeah it's a curious absolutely
it's because i haven't been introduced
to the best oh okay
i needed someone to introduce me to it
i'd say
very incredible one of the few things we
do quite well i think in the uk a
dessert we actually went to parrots
so fancy this is where the good stuff is
actually obviously josh knows the place
a little heart-shaped lemon sponge cake
or like a peach emoji like a bum yes
that's what i was thinking
look you can't go wrong with arad's
we're gonna see if we can persuade you
that some british food is actually good
i'm down for it first up we've going for
the harrods version of an absolute
classic victoria sponge wow
wow
that's a good slice yeah what do you
want to swap no it's okay
sorry
you know look she's a guest i just wanna
make sure she's getting the best
experience i mean yours has gone
terribly look at that mine is an
absolute disaster of a slice
i'm a bit like me and juvia yeah oh gosh
eliza didn't go to the team he could
have
[Music]
oh yeah
a bit tea
to wash it down mm-hmm what's that in
the middle oh jam and cream cream but
it's thick though with three seeds yeah
it really is yeah it is it really is
that's very good strong start i feel
like
for the british dessert next up
harrod's version of an apple crumble
fancy
yeah oh
classic oh
delightful it's the textures for me yeah
then you have these little cubes apple
cubes those will be english apples as
well that is amazing that is amazing it
really is a topping crumbly topping that
is delicious kind of caramelized
oh so doobie you've been doing food
content on youtube for a year on youtube
less than a year but food content in
general i started on tick tock that's
where i started wow
okay
i can't dance i can't dance that is
where i started i'm not a chef you know
i'm just someone who loves food who
likes to cook as a hobby so during the
pandemic which was when i graduated it
was quite difficult to find a job so in
a way it was just me building up my
portfolio and
it worked out because i'm with you guys
trying
i mean you've made a lot of different
recipes some of them interestingly not
necessarily the same ones are the ones
which are really successful on tick tock
and on youtube shorts i didn't see
any success on youtube shorts for the
first six to seven months like i had 500
views really yeah 500 600 i would just
keep posting it just thinking like one
day maybe baby and out of all the things
that i've done the video that took off
on youtube was just kerambap which is
just fried egg on top of rice and just
some soy sauce and that was a video that
took off so i was like
really like is this what i'm known for
like come on guys i can do better than
that but then after that i think um all
my other videos started taking off so
for anyone thinking of getting into tic
toc or short form video do you have any
advice you're not going to see success
right away but you just have to be
consistent like consistency is key and
after a while you're going to hone your
craft and that's when you will see
success
wow nice nice okay well speaking of
honing our craft yeah something that we
haven't done in the uk is honing off i'm
trying to do a segway
next up we have a more traditional
british offering red and butter pudding
it looks like
stuffing it's oh
like raw stuffing before you stuff it
into the chicken yeah yeah yeah
apparently one of the earliest published
recipes for bread and butter pudding was
found in a book from 1728 before the
nation of usa existed
you've never had this before no this is
my first time oh it's hard
wow
it's dense like super dense super dense
okay so that's the cross section
wow look at that
[Music]
whoa
it's a lot going on
tastes almost like a pre-digested
cinnamon bun oh
but i kind of know what you mean though
unfortunately i was enjoying it until
you said that no but the aroma is like
fantastic you get cinnamon you get
cardamom you get a little bit of some
nutmeg in there nutmeg definitely i
actually on second bite yeah that's
incredible
and the chocolate in there it's great
it comes with its own kind of glass
beaker that i suppose you could use for
science experiments afterwards clearly
what's happened here okay
that's what it looks like i discovered a
new antibiotic in there somewhere right
it's been there for months
penicillin 2.0
next up we have the biggest strawberries
ever ginormous
monster strawberries because we're going
for another british absolute classic
strawberries and cream berries and cream
berries and cream i think every time
i've ever had this it's been with like
single pouring cream and you just pour
cream over the top so i don't really
know how to put like cream this stick on
it so i'm just dolloping it is that okay
yeah maybe you dip them well i mean it
makes a lot more sense than what you
just did i didn't okay just okay well
i'll have that one then and i'll oh
that's just sad strawberries and cream
howard's edition one bite one bite not
gonna eat all of that in one bite why
not
oh my gosh you are insane
he's going to regret that no no
that is juicy
[Music]
oh man it's like i took the biggest goal
of strawberry juice
that's good huh that is good people like
make a big deal of dipping strawberries
in
chocolate
i think cream is better this is better
right
yeah this isn't just strawberries and
cream that's meringue because this is
eaten mess
it's also another word for our
government okay
[Laughter]
okay look just do it you're killing me
yeah but you do have to oh what are you
doing you've got to smash that's the
correct way yeah but you oh
are there layers just yeah yes but the
layers are the same as each other
[Music]
the meringue just elevates it it takes
what a normal traditional british
dessert is
takes it to the next level i mean it
does a number on your teeth right yeah
and more sugar both of your parents are
dentists yes
four big fans of this channel they both
love this channel okay wow well mr mrs
papp
i want to say
i would like to apologize for the state
of our team
[Laughter]
what's it been like you transitioning
into being a creator i know when we both
started doing youtube and and mooted the
idea of going full-time yeah to our
parents both of our parents are a bit
like
uh
are you sure this is like enough of a
huge yeah exactly it was definitely
difficult but honestly even up until a
couple of months before like they were
still like
are you sure you don't want to like
apply for a job maybe i really don't
yeah maybe hellofresh wants you back
with all these recipes maybe
um but now they're fully fully
supportive and they love what i do and
they watch my videos they share it with
the neighborhood group chat you know
they're very very sweet oh that's cool
all right next dessert for this one
we're going about as basic as british
desserts come rice
pudding we're all thinking it so i'm
going to say it yeah it looks a bit
vomiting
it does baby vomit
to be specific why does that make it
worse she already said vomit uh if you
eat it with jam always with jam yeah
always with jam yeah always so you've
had you've had rice pudding before i
have
never you're sweet okay but never with
jam what have you been having it with
just as is we have with some sugar no
just as is straight up straight up
they only do that in prison
i mean this one actually funnily enough
came from a tin
british institution beautiful
rice pudding
i love how it's called ambrosia like
you've been forever on this yeah like
food of the gods exactly
is this what the gods eat
you bad giant
rice pudding
that's it as simple as fancy
traditional british rice pudding
[Music]
did you get any jam you need some jam i
have some jam hidden underneath but i'll
get some more i know what you're
thinking you're thinking this is a
booby-doo trap
[Laughter]
that wasn't that was good no no i like
tastes like my childhood
she hasn't swallowed yet it's definitely
different from american
rice pudding because it's a lot sweeter
a lot sweeter and it's not as chunky oh
it's not as chunky it really reminds me
of you know like rice gelato but
no no
rice gelato but made from rice made from
rice and then you have these like little
granules of rice that are nice like
textural pops that's what it reminds me
of and i like those i don't know
[Music]
but most definitely not least sticky
toffee pudding oh i've never had sticky
toffee pudding before and everyone and
this is the reaction i get not all
sticky selfie puddings look like a turd
coffee that okay that is
great just get it out or before we eat
it
so that you don't say it while we're
tasting it i would say i reckon it's
gonna still taste great cheers
[Music]
you know when something looks that bad
but still gets that sound when you're
trying it
it must be good it's like ed sheeran
[Laughter]
no this is so good though good
oh yeah it's very sweet like there's no
holes barred here it's just like how
sweet can we possibly make this sponge
cake
verdict
ten out of ten
wow so is that your favorite so far i
think so yeah of all the things we tried
yeah i like that a lot yeah i didn't
think that i would that's the thing yeah
yeah i mean before the shoot they were
they were pressuring me like if you say
you don't lie sticky
but
i actually genuinely
enjoy it i actually genuinely enjoy it
so good experience of british desserts
