Hi I'm Joel and I'm Lia.
Do I have lipstick on my teeth?
So before we get started if you
haven't subscribed already if you're new here don't forget to go down below and click subscribe
and don't forget to press the bell so that you know when we're uploading a video, coz
subscribe's not enough anymore.
No, we need you to click the bell.
Yeah.
Today we're going
to be talking to you about classic English food.
So what is a typical 'British' meal?
And what do British people eat when they sit down for dinner at 7pm at night?
I've got
a question for you Joel, this is a bit of a test, and for everyone at home.
What do
you think is the most popular British dish, eaten in the UK?
And here's your options:
Spag Bol (Spaghetti Bolognaise), Sunday Roast, Fish and Chips, a curry or pasta.
Well some
of those, even though they are British, like Spag Bol is very British but at the same time,
it's Italian.
It's not British, just British people love it.
I know but I don't think if
you say Spag Bol to an Italian, they'll be like "Whatta?".
Imagine us going to Italy
and being like "just two spag bols please".
No, I think fish and chips because that's
like classic British person food.
You're actually incorrect.
Am I?
I'm never incorrect!
What?!
The most popular meal eaten in Britain is actually curry.
That makes sense, I knew
it.
It's true, everyone loves curry here.
It makes sense coz I have heard curry being
described as a classic British dish, like traditionally British and I think it's because,
back in the day when the British Empire included India so even though India is it's own country
it was ruled by Britain and so we took all the bits that we wanted from them, including
curry and so it's a bit mean actually isn't it, well Colonisation is mean, but like "You're
under our rule but we're gunna take this because we like it, but we don't want you".
Exactly.
What's your favourite curry?
I just told you, you agreed, Tikka Masala!
It's the paneer
Tikka Masala!
But only from the one in Limehouse where we used to live, yep, only from there.
I like a Korma
but I can't do it because it's too fattening.
It's too fatty, you love a Korma?
If I had
a choice I'd go for a Korma, but I can't because I'm healthy, so....
They're all unhealthy!
They're all so unhealthy, like a Korma is like, I'm sure you know what it is, it's like
a really coconutty, creamy, curry, that's not spicy at all.
Not at all spicy.
No, but
I do like Tikka Masala, it's standard.
But I don't eat chicken now.
You should try, there's
this one called butter chicken, but
you can have it with paneer, where it's like the same sauce but more healthy than
a Korma.
There's this place in London, the whole street is vegetarian restaurants, oh
that wasn't what
I was gunna say!
You were gunna say Brick Lane?
Yeah, Brick Lane, like if you want a
curry go to Brick Lane.
This video is soon gunna be titled "Where to go for a
curry in London?".
If you're vegetarian, there's a whole street in London, near Euston station
called Drummond Street and every restaurant is vegetarian.
Wow, thats so cool.
Some Indian,
bit of Mexican.
Why've I heard of that street?
Drummond Street has got some good graffiti.
Very nice.
I think one of the things I miss most, since becoming vegetarian is Bangers and Mash.
I
love it so much.
If it's good quality sausages aswell, oh it's excellent, swimming in gravy,
onion gravy specifically.
Oh my gosh, creamy mash, with herbs in the mash, ooo yeah I love
that.
That's the thing, if you're gunna do it, get really high meat content sausages
coz otherwise it's gross.
Or just get vegetarian sausages, they don't taste as good but they're
better for the world.
Yeah they are, go veggie!
Go veggie!
We have not been sponsored by any
veggie brands.
Eat Quorn.
Remember when I kept calling it Quorn and you were like it's
Korn.
No, it IS Quorn.
Oh, someone told me off for that.
Don't let them boss you around.
No I won't!
Thank you.
You wanna call it Quorn?
You call it Quorn!
What is Toad in the Hole?
Wait what is it?
Toad in the Hole is basically a batter, it's like Yorkshire Puddings.
It's
like batter covered in, put over sausages and then you bake it in the oven, and then
you pull it out, so it's like a pancakey sort of texture but with sausages inside.
The same
mixture that you'd put together for English pancakes, I'm gunna link another video where
we talk about pancakes, is put in an oven proof dish, boiling hot, and then it turns
into this amazing Yorkshire Pudding, You might be thinking, what's a Yorkshire Pudding?
She's
talking in riddles.
Because I've just gone, here's Toad in the Hole, it's combined with
Yorkshire Pudding and bangers!
No Yorkshire Pudding is then just that batter, but on it's
own.
So basically a Toad in the Hole, you need to know what Yorkshire Pudding is first
and then you can say Toad in the Hole is Yorkshire Pudding with sausages.
But then another thing:
Spotted Dick.
What's that?
I've seen it on a menu.
You've never had it?
Never had Spotted
Dick.
It's delicious.
It's my dad's favourite pudding.
Spotted Dick it's really nice.
What
is it?
So it's like a sponge, just a vanilla sponge with raisins and currants inside.
Oh
I've had Spotted Dick, yeah, I know we all have!
We've all eaten Dick.
Spotted Dick to
be precise.
See this is the thing aswell, I think every English person finds it hilarious
and can never say it seriously.
I've just had an idea for our video with Lucy "Eating
Spotted Dick with Lucy".
Yes, let's do that!
I've thought of more desserts that are English.
Oh go on then!
Bread and Butter Pudding.
Again derived from the war.
It's gross.
Yeah it's
basically slices of bread with milk and raisins and sugar and baked in the oven.
Is Trifle
English?
Yeah English Trifle.
It's another shit pudding isn't it?
Another one!
Again
with soggy cake at the bottom.
Soggy bottom.
It's just horrific.
There's so many dreadful
English puddings.
If you guys want us to go into great detail about these puddings let
us know, let's talk about it.
I mean I do love a British pudding and I don't like Italian
puddings at all, I don't like coffee, and I don't like Tiramisu, it's disgusting.
I
can't come to terms with people who are crazy about Tiramisu.
Also, just those delicate
European things, like Creme Brulee, I like Creme Brulee, but when you want something
proper like for dessert, you don't want a Creme Brulee.
Victoria Sponge is phenomenal.
Victoria Sponge: simple.
Jam, cream.
Two sponge sandwich pieces, put together with cream and
jam.
Amazing.
Butter cream and jam.
Nothing else needed.
Stunning.
Joel and I used to
live together and we'd just make cake mix and just eat it raw.
We used to eat raw cake
batter!
Who are we?
Oh shush we're trying to film a video about British food and cake!
Okay Joel, here's a question.
When looking at a three course menu and at the top it says
"Two Courses for £10", do you go for a starter and a main, or a main and a pudding, what
do you go for and why?
It depends obviously.
But I would go
for
the main and pudding.
What
if there was halloumi on the starters?
That's what
it depends on.
If there was something amazing.
If the pudding doesn't have anything nice on it, if it was like "Tiramisu, Creme Brulee,
Ice Cream" - not having it.
If it's like chocolate brownie, chocolate mousse, or like carrot
cake or something, I'll be like yeah I'm gunna have it.
What if the puddings
were like Lemon Meringue?
I don't mind that.
I
just think why does it exist?
Meringue, who even thought of Meringue?
Whipped egg whites?
Who whips egg whites and why?
Eton Mess?
What is the point?
Mashed up meringue with berries,
"I know guys, lets get this whipped up egg meringue and throw it at the wall, and then
collect the dust and put it over some berries, put some fruit in it".
Some desserts are ridiculous.
You would go for a starter wouldn't you?
Starter and pudding.
No main!
No but that's what I
wanna try and do, to lose weight, be like, "You know what
I'm gunna limit myself to a starter and then a pudding, cut out the main course" Who wants
that?
You only have it because it's there!
Yeah exactly.
Me and dad went to Wagamama's
yesterday, I just had loads of starters.
He had a main aswell and I was just like: I'm
just having starters.
It was honestly the best choice I'd made in a long time.
That's so good, do you know, I've told you what place I want to start, I want to open
this dessert bar where you get tapas but all desserts and things.
So you know when you just want pudding, you just want a sliver of cake, and you arrive
and you're like "oh but I want lemon meringue and I want also a bit of chocolate brownie
and I want a bit of ice cream" you can order the small portions in tapas portions so you
can have all three.
And make it on a conveyor belt and steal Yo Sushi's idea but with pudding.
And I can call it Joe Pudding!
Coz Yo...
Joe...I think it should be called pudding rather than dessert, oh yeah, dessert is a
gross French word.
Sorry!
It's a gross French word!
Just a bit of like, light racism there.
Okay guys, we have been Joel & Lia, that was our video about British food, leave us a comment

Let us know if you want any more in depth videos about these things, there's so much
to talk about.
I'm gunna burp.
It's gone.
You've got lipstick on your teeth.
For the whole video?
It's gone.
I'll do the Lucy trick.
No she doesn't!
She did, she went, "Go like that".
What in the video?
No in real life.
She went that's how you know there's no lipstick on your teeth.
Imagine doing that to a guy and being like "sorry, have I got lipstick on my teeth?".

It's gunna get hits, anyway!
Bye everyone!
