- I feel like it's all gonna be fancy as (bleep).
(patriotic brass music)
- I expect British snacks to all have
sort of, like, charming names.
- As far as I know, there's a bunch of sausages.
- Probably gonna be, like, some preserved fish and chips.
- [Voiceover] Chocolate Digestives,
Chocolate-covered wheat biscuits
- The name is the least appealing thing I've ever heard.
- It seems like something
that you would take when you were sick.
Like, "Oh, you have an upset stomach?
"Here, have this digestive biscuit."
- It's just a good cookie. Is it digestive because it's good
and you'll eat it?
- [Voiceover] Pork Scratchings,
made from the rinds, or skin, of the pig.
- Oh my god, that's, that's very fragrant.
- It's just a, oh, it's so crunchy.
- Oh my God, they, like, left the fat on there?
- (laughing) Wait a minute, it says,
"Although every care has been taken to remove bones,
"some may remain." There's bones?
- Y'all probably think this is so gross, but it's so good.
- [Voiceover] Twiglets
A wheat-based savory snack flavored using yeast extract.
- (Inhalation) They kind of smell like old soy sauce.
- This snack's pretty confusing, because it's like,
like what the (bleep) is it?
- They are like rotten Cheetos. Or like burnt sausage ends.
- Wait, you know what, this is kind of good.
It kind of tastes like when you burn toast,
and then you rolled it in spicy Cheeto dust.
- [Voiceover] Monster Munch
This flavor is pickled onion, and it's a baked corn snack.
- I know as a kid, you were supposed to do this, I'm sure.
This is, like, what you do with these, and then you go
(growling)
- Oh, it's kind of sour. It has so much onion flavor, though
it's, like, making my mouth water a lot.
- Oh, it's awful by the end!
Whauh, oh, it's like, everything that's wrong with a Funyon,
with pickle juice on it.
- Yeah, you won't want to kiss people after this.
- They look like Funyons, but they taste
like a pickle that was left inside somebody's gym sock.
- [Voiceover] Marmite
A dark brown salty paste made from yeast extract
- (muttering) OK, OK, I'm ready.
- What, whoa, whoa what is that?
- Whoa, hello.
(chewing noises)
- It's sour and salty at the same time.
Like you, you gave me a piece of salt,
and dipped it in vinegar, and then made me lick it.
(retching)
- It's so strong.
- I know if I ever go to England,
I'll stay away from the snacks,
and go straight to the fish and chips.
- I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to have, like,
some crumpets or some, like, what Americans
think English people are eating all over town.
- I feel like I could get used to the Marmite,
in this weird way.
- A lot of these things were, like,
too flavorful in this, like, vinegary-salty spectrum.
The only thing that wasn't salty was the digestive cookie.
Which maybe that is to help you digest all that salt.
