Hello Eat Sleep Dreamers, welcome to a really special lesson because today I'm joined by
Urara. Hi Tom. Hello Urara. So Urara has come to London and we're having a picnic in central
London and she is very bravely agreed to try some British snacks. So I have a few British
snacks that I'd like her to try and hopefully she'll like them. I hate it! Yeah, maybe!
We'll see!
Ok, we're starting with the first British snack which is a Cornish Pasty. Now a Cornish
Pasty, it's like a pie. Yeah? Is this a meat pie? A meat pie, yeah. It's a meat pie and
it's got potato in as well and some vegetables. And it's put in a sort of puff pastry. And
traditionally it's from Cornwall which is an area of England and it was traditionally
for workers. So they'd put their meal in this pie and they'd take it off to work. And I
guess we've continued to eat them as a snack now. So it's maybe not a main meal but it's
a snack. If you are feeling hungry. So it's a savoury flavour and hopefully a delicious
one.
Ok, alright? Usually they are hot. We don't have an oven in the park so we're just going
to have it cold. Basically this is a meat pie, right? Essentially this is a meat pie,
yeah. You are absolutely right. Let's try it. Do I have to eat all? No? No, you can
eat as much or as little as you want. Ok, I'll try it. Meat pie! Meat pie, it's a meat
pie, isn't it? Is it a good meat pie? Good meat pie! Yeah? Fantastic, yeah there's a
lot of pastry. Pastry and the taste is black pepper. Yeah. Very strong black pepper. Yeah,
I guess an adjective we could use is like 'peppery', very peppery. Peppery? Yeah peppery.
It's really filling so like it's really good if you are going like for a walk or something
like that you can take one of these and yeah you won't feel hungry. Yeah, that's good!
Alright, yes!
Ok, next one is a scotch egg. A scotch egg. Again it's a bit like the Cornish Pasty, it's
like picnic food. We have it for picnics and what we have is like a hard boiled egg, then
we have meat around it and then it's fried. So you have breadcrumbs around it. And yeah
it's a snack, it's like a really common snack. And there is an egg inside? There's an egg
inside yeah. Do you like eggs? Yes, I like. Ok, we're ok. Do we need an oven? Yeah, again.
Again! Yeah, we don't have an oven. Ok. We'd probably heat it up but you can have it cold
as well. It's totally normal. Wow! There is a whole egg. There is a whole egg. Like this.
Yeah. There is a whole egg in there. Is that strange? Yeah, it's really strange. It's like
it's hiding, right? OK, I'll try it, I'm hungry. It
seems like she likes it. Let's see. Almost all egg. Yeah, and then you've got the meat
around it and then the breadcrumbs. Oh, is that the meat? Yeah, so that's the meat and
then yeah the breadcrumbs and then it's fried. Yeah, it's ok? Yeah it's good. Again, savoury
right? It's a savoury snack. Savoury snack and the one is enough for me. Yeah, definitely.
I don't think you need more than one.
Alright, I'm excited about this one, this one is the big one. Urara is going to try
Marmite! Marmite! It's not marmalade? Not marmalade, no. Marmalade is like a jam, Marmite,
this is yeast extract. It's kind of a chocolate. No, it's not like chocolate. It's not like
anything. It's not chocolate taste? No, it looks like chocolate, right? Or sauce? Yeah,
it's a spread. We call it a spread. So it's something you put on bread, toast or something
like that. It's like nothing you've ever tried before. Do you like it? Ok, so. You don't
like it but you recommend it for me? Yeah, a little bit. Oh my god! I'm sorry. Because
you have to try it, it's so British. so in the advertising they say you either love it
or you hate it. It's like there's no one in between. No one is like 'It's ok' its like
you either love it or. And you hate it right? Kind of hate it. I'm trying to love it, I'm
trying to teach myself to love it but no it's. And is it good for health? Yeah, it's good
for health. And then I will try it. It's good for health yeah yeah. So I'm going to put
it on some, a little bit of bread. I guess this, it tastes sour. Ok, sour? Ok, good guess.
But definitely not chocolate. Wow! Ok, so I'm going to put it on a little bit of bread
for you. And a drop, no? I'm going to give you. Looks sweet but I think it tastes sour.
There you go that's yours. And you also try it, now you should. Oh my god! No smell! There
is a smell. How do you say what's this? Like a sauce. You have to eat the whole thing.
Eat the whole thing. I don't like this, what's this? You don't like it? Yeah, but the taste
is like soy bean, soy sauce! Soy sauce, ok yeah, ok a little bit like soy sauce. But
you didn't try, come on! You only tried a little bit, come on you have to have that.
You mean with the bread? I think with the bread, yeah that would change. Change! Are
you sure? I don't think so. Ok, alright. You did well, you did really well. I hate it!
Really? Is it that bad? I don't like it. No. Alright, I'll finish it off. It's horrible.
Yeah i need some water to clear it. Yes, I think so. Oh my God!
Alright, so to finish off we've gone with, this is a childhood favourite of mine. So
at every children's party you would always have Jammie Dodgers. They are just sugar,
it's sweet, it's got little bits of jam in the middle, you can't not like this. This
is my childhood. I'm sure I will love it. Yeah, I'm sure you will. And to help you I
will also try one as well. I have to, you know, just to help you, not because I love
them. Oh you love it? I love them. Yes? Me too! I hope so. Alright, you go first. Yes.
Yummy! Yummy? Definitely. Yes, I love this. Yeah, so it's short cake biscuit with raspberry
jam in the middle in the shape of a little heart. And yeah as I say, as kids you have
it at every birthday party. You'll always have jammie dodgers. But do you have a lot
of kinds of jams or only this jam? I think you can get other ones but, I think so, but
this is the classic one. This is like the one I remember as a child is raspberry jam.
Maybe we could put Marmite in there. No! Please! I don't like that. Alright Urara, you've been
super brave. You've tried four different British snacks. Which was your favourite? Honestly,
today's my favourite is this one the dodgers. The jammie dodgers. But if I have an oven
I think I like the scotch egg and the pie as well. Ok, so if I had heated those up you
would have liked those. Yeah but I'll never think about that again. The Marmite. But you
can tell your friend Ive tried Marmite. There's this crazy foo in Britain called Marmite.
And it's really brave, right? Yeah, extremely brave to try Marmite. Especially once you
smelled it and you are like 'oh my Lord, what is this?' Anyway thank you very much for trying
British snacks. Thank you very much. And if you guys enjoyed that then let me know in
