Howdy folks it is Barry here from my virgin kitchen we are not in my kitchen today and
I am back with Stuart Ashen yes we are in the YouTube space where I have just got hold
of this Soviet officers jacket, yes and I have this hard had.
You guys enjoyed our Thailand taste treat video, hardly poisoned at all and a lot of
people were saying it was good to see Stuarts face and that he actually enjoyed some food
so today we are tasting some British treats so if you are from around the World we will
hopefully educate you with some British classics.
It is impossible to slouch in this thing, mainly because it is quite small.
Right so first up are something called Salt & Shake crisps, did you have a time machine
to get these I swear they stopped making these Years ago, yes they are pretty old school
crisps and made by walkers which is aka lays.
Basically you have a blue salt packet in there and shake away.
So you do not trust the crisp company to put some salt on so you have to do it yourself
it is like self catering or self seasoning there is normally a little blue packet in
there, oh here we go.
So you have unsalted crisps and a packet of salt basically all the crisps at the top get
salty and the ones at the top get nothing at all.
I do not know why they stopped with just salt though they should have pushed it out to paprika
etc in fact you could do that yourself buy plain crisps, season them, shake it, what
have we done Barry?!
We have destroyed the entire crisp industry so in goes our salty shake thing, salt going
everywhere like a salt protest it�s all stuck in there, it has damp or something!
Optional dance moves if you want.
There was no salt on that whatsoever, not a single molecule perhaps this is why it is
nostalgic and that factories season them in there instead.
Do you think they only sell because there are people that just want totally plain crisps
that is the only way to get them, they are like Ghandi crisps you have to dip them in
the sea, that is how it works.
And now hog lumps, or pork scratchings, with lovely Mr Porky who has the stare of a serial
killer, I have a butchers knife, I am not afraid to use it.
Eat these or die!
They remind me of when I played tennis, there were pigs in the field nearby and when we
would finish playing tennis people would hit the balls at the pigs that would eventually
be turned into the pork scratchings served at the bar.
So it is like the circle of life, the circle of pork.
Like the game pass the pigs.
Somebody once bet me �5 that I would not eat a pork scratching, do you not like them?
No I love them, it was the easiest bet in the World, I reckon there is at least one
hairy one though, what do you think.
You get different types like the crispy ones and the jelly ones I do not like the jelly
ones I like it when crispy and firm with a little snout hair on them.
�Only recommended for people with strong, healthy teeth, although every care has been
taken to remove bones, some may remain� you can eat every part of a pig can�t you,
that could be a future video I want to eat a whole pig.
Here have one that looks like a pigs tail, oh there is a super fatty one there that is
basically a lump of jelly fat.
This is probably the least healthy snack in the World they really are super crunchy super
salty and if you are lucky you may get some snout hair on them.
I cannot find a hairy one yet, sometimes they give them a nice shave before turning them
into pork scratchings, it is like a Gillette advert or take them to the barber shop.
So next up are Wotsits cheesy crisps so if you do not like cheese like me not the best.
I remember eating these years ago eating crisps and playing sega megadrive he would eat the
crisps and then pass the controller over then have the crisps all over the controller, yep
that is known as cheeto dust in America or Wotsit dust in the UK so these are really
cheesy puffy crisps.
Do you like them?
I do actually I have not had them for years.
They are not as big as they used to be are they?
No and did they used to be more puffy?
They used to be neon orange too, they did � shenanigans.
They are completely different to how I remember them they used to be bright neon orange literally
like some fluorescent hoola dress or something like that from the eighties but I can eat
them I am quite happy.
I am disappointed, they have taken the soul of my wotsits away.
So now that our savoury is out of the way it is time for some confectionary on the sweet
side, wagon wheel � the classic biscuit, mallow, chocolate and I do not think any of
it is real it is all just chemically reconstructed, that is like one of those big controversies
are wagon wheels getting smaller did we just get bigger, that is what people are doing,
making things more expensive and smaller.
I can promise you they have got smaller because I found one down the middle of my dads sofa
that I used to film on oh really it must have been 15 years ago now I pulled it out and
it was like an ancient wagon wheel from the eighties still in its wrapper and indeed noticeably
bigger, why do I get the feeling you have done a video on that unfortunately not I threw
it away before YouTube even existed it is pretty low on perishable ingredients, nice
tear away marshmallow, it is so good, really crunchy biscuit, stretchy mallow and chocolate,
I will probably do a video recipe on these one day.
Next up is caramac which apparently is quite nostalgic, I have never had a caramac it sounds
like something an old lady would use it is the sort of thing my elderly aunt would go
to the shop and get or she would mention it and never actually buy it ok so caramac it
must be caramel and mac because it is made out of old apple computers, so caramel flavour
bar with no help to its makeup.
So caramel chocolate bar possibly with a caramel flavour enhancer, it says caramac on there
too just so you know you are eating it, what a surprise!
I like caramac although it is quite sickly you would not want too much although you do
not get that much so it is not really a problem.
It does taste a lot like white chocolate with a caramel flavouring in there, I really like
that I am taking that back to the South West of England with me & I am putting that in
my pocket not in my pants by the way, that would be lovely by the time you finished your
train journey!
Next up the mighty sherbert lolly combination of dip dab but with a new twist the old ones
used to be red and yellow coloured and this one is refreshers brand which is another amazing
sweet the refresher raspberry flavour sherbert dip with a fruit flavoured lolly.
I think mine has somehow got dampened and turned into one huge lump when the sherbert
gets wet it is going to stick like that but there is a woman on the front cover bathing
in the sherbert, she looks like some kind of crustacean mutated from sugar, so what
you do is dunk it and eat it.
Definitely got damp I have a lump of sherbert here the size of an iceberg, we are acting
out titanic �iceberg right ahead� my heart will go on, jack come back!
I do not like the lolly as much or the sherbert it is like they are trying too hard by putting
too much extra flavour into something yeah we are not reaching those levels of nostalgia
we wanted to, we kind of let you down there guys they are trying to gourmet the dip dab,
it is almost like you need a serviette and sit down with a knife and fork your dip dab
sir.
Next up are a good old confectionary still popular here in the UK called maltesers what
I like about them is you can do a little blow thing which I will show you in a minute did
not know it was that sort of video Barry!
We have a dispensing hole like a game at a fair, maybe it is for portion control get
somebody who is really hungry and they just end up having fruit, give it to me!
Do you like these?
I do it is honeycomb chocolate and very nice.
Watch this, �. Did you see it, yeah let me have a go� haha good work.
My girlfriends favourite sweets are dark chocolate maltesers but they only make them in hong
kong wow that is amazing and you literally cannot get them anywhere else, if you get
them imported they merge into one big mass.
Great thing about these is they are chocolate with honeycomb and just melt in your mouth,
so so good, they are very addictive, there is a window right there and I may have to
throw them out.
Put on 50 stone each eating them!
Curly wurly the most nostalgic shaped chocolate, I can remember when these came out in the
early eighties we got all excited because they were a funny shape, and again they were
wider, they were noticeably wider there was more curly wurly girth which is not a phrase
you will hear on any other youtube video it is almost like a chocolate ladder, if you
were barbie and needed a ladder, you would use a curly wurly to escape!
Mine is bent look at that I think it may be the temperature in here so essentially it
is like caramel covered in chocolate!
It is alive!
Crikey mate danger, you are alright mate, you are alright!
These are good they are still good, it is a chewy chocolate toffee delight and in fact
they made something called a chomp that was just like this but if you took the gaps out
and merged it together you effectively had a chomp anyway but charged double the price,
it was so good.
You found a rubber chicken, yeah it is the nerd chicken so for this one we have a chicken,
what is this place?
Soviet uniforms and rubber chickens no idea what they are using this place for beginning
to think I should have had this dry cleaned beforehand he likes them, and that my friend
is comedy.
Nerds by wonka, was always exciting at school if somebody had them, it was like having the
ultimate pog, essentially sugar with slight flavouring in them.
And neon colours to be appealing to teenage children.
Ready, steady, diabetes!
I think I can hear my dentist cackling, finally I can buy that yacht.
They are extremely sugary, brightly coloured, good in there day.
They also contain ingredients that may have effect on the activity and behaviour of children.
Sorry just working out with a dinosaur bone and I am working out with Werthers Originals
so good, there was quite a nostalgic advert for that right?
Old man, child on his knee, when I was young, a strange man in a forest gave me werthers
originals what was the phrase � now I am the granddad!
I put hooks in these sweets that will teach you for ruining my lawn with your bicycles
he had a flat cap right?
Yes he did.
Now I am the granddad that is really starting to suit that jacket like a militant wing of
last of the summer wine individually wrapped butterscotch candy so smooth, granddad would
approve.
I do not remember them being this nice perhaps the advert campaign put me off could have
been yeah, granddad and his ultra knitted jumper when I were a lad we did nothing but
eat sugar and kill people we did not like the look of eat these son I turned out alright
didn�t I it did not do me any harm, stomach out there!
Lost a leg to diabetes, I can only see out of one eye and my house is on fire, but other
than that you can see why werthers stuck to the good old granddad and flat cap.
Alright then guys so we are in different attire, just to say thankyou for watching this video,
a malteser at some stage fell into my jacket and as melted horribly blowing technique needs
more work but that is a separate video all together.
Norwich city football club there, or Rick Flair, whoooo!
Anyhow then guys if you enjoyed this video do not forget to give it a thumbs up, share
subscribe and comment all that stuff, thanks for all the love when we did the Thailand
taste treat video we are doing a video now on your channel right that is right, it will
be grotesque and not so fresh again!
See you next time.
