      Even in UK Heinz beans along with Heinz tomato soup has got too expensive for us - now have Lidls beans at 28p and their Newgate tomato soup at 62p much more affordable for us. Also goes for a lot of cereals, get generic brands apart from shredded wheat which for some reason nobody does a cheap version so have to go with the branded one.

    Double cream just being out on a shelf and not refrigerated is weird and probably explains why it looked separated and almost clotted, in a bad way.

      My father worked at Heinz 57, in Harlesden , London. It used to be one of the major employees in London. It was based in Waxlow Road. Right next door to a Macvittie's factory. The smell of the biscuits cooking, was divine. Even now I would pass a blind tasting session of products, and recognise the Heinz products. I can even know whats in a tin , with no label on it. I knew how to read the codes on the tin. Dad would bring , tinned goods home, where the label was missing.
      To this day, I miss Heinz tinned puddings. Chocolate, Treacle Sponge, Mixed fruit and especially The Heinz Christmas Pudding. Trust me Mrs. Peaks Christmas Pudding, couldn't touch HEINZ. The Heinz London factory closed down during the 1980's. Most of the staff were made redundant and most had worked for Heinz 57, for many years, It closed down at a time when "Job for life" was ending.

    I'm drinking Fentimans rose lemonade right now :) As a Brit I definitely would have bought Yorkshire tea and the Marmite. The usual way to eat Marmite is to spread a thin amount on buttery toast. In terms of things from mainland Europe, I wouldn't have been able to resist the Camembert, and the Biscoff spread looks amazing. This vid triggered a memory, I went to Cadbury World in Birmingham on a school trip as a kid and they let us try chocolates (I think ones that you couldn't buy yet). I thought it was the best thing ever and they even gave us clipboards to write our reviews on.

    Cadbury in Canada has nothing to do with Hershey and they have a plant in Toronto. Canadian chocolate is more like British chocolate than American, in fact, Hershey bars sold in Canada use a different recipe than in the states and taste totally different. In Canadian supermarkets, things like HP, Birds Custard powder and digestives are found with the "regular" groceries (HP is invariably shelved next to A1)

      Cadburys use different recipes around the world. For example, in Australia their chocolate has a much more waxy texture, because if it was made the same as in the UK then it would melt far too readily in AU temperatures, you wouldn't be buying bars of chocolate, you'd be buying packets of chocolate soup!

      I like golden syrup, used as described but prefer Silver Spoon golden syrup to Tate & Lyle's !
      I'm not sure if Silver Spoon is still available, as it was a British sugar product - made from sugar beets - their farms being up in Suffolk, but I think they've closed down now.
      Tate & Lyle is made from cane sugar
      (so obviously not grown in Britain).

  • @hannahk1306
    @hannahk1306 Před 10 dny

    - Some of the packaging looks different, so it's probably made for the US market or imported from Canada.
    - Basically any spread is designed to be eaten on toast.
    - Golden syrup is mostly used for baking.
    - Some of those prices are so expensive that I doubt they sell many at all! I think the cheese was the most reasonable, but is probably produced locally. The beans in the last place and some of the beers also weren't badly priced.
    - Contrary to popular belief, we do actually use the word "cookies" in the UK. The soft, chewy ones are cookies and the hard, crunchy ones are biscuits.
    - Burts crisps are lovely, but they're definitely a smaller brand.
    - Double cream is what you call heavy cream (basically higher fat content than single). However, I've never seen it in a jar or unrefrigerated before! Clotted cream is much thicker (like way thicker than whipped cream), hence the name.

    Golden Syrup is effectively a replacement for honey. I haven't bought it for years, now I just buy honey instead, but I used to use it on toast with butter, or on pancakes, or drizzle a little of it onto vanilla ice-cream, or you can use it in baking, but I imagine there are plenty of other uses for it.

    Google says there isn't really an equivalent for double cream in the US because the butterfat content is much higher than anything you get in the US. The closest equivalent is heavy cream and we can use it for whipping too but we also use it as it is as condiment for desserts like you would ice cream, custard or whipped cream. I've never seen it in a shop out of the fridge section so that may be why it looks that way

    Golden syrup is in loads of uk desserts. Flapjack, steamed puddings, spiced cakes, tea loafs, gingerbread biscuits ect. It’s pretty much guaranteed to be in all treacle based desserts, and has either now completely replaced or is placed with black treacle, dependent on taste.

    Hello Cara and Jeremy. Back in the 1990s, I toured US with a friend. I found Samuel Smiths Yorkshire bitter in a bar on Route 66 in Flagstaff. By the time we got to Portland Oregon we were a bit homesick. We went for a few Guinness in an Irish pub and then to a Chinese restaurant for Mongolian beef as a substitute for an Indian curry.
    Golden syrup is good on UK style pancakes and on leftover Yorkshire puddings as an after dinner treat.
    I recently watched a US reaction channel do videos on making such things in US, but they only had maple syrup, which is OK, but not the same.

    As a Brit who has lived in the US (not recently) there seems to be some sort of feeling that English food is the same as UK food.....and alot of names of things change too....I think that is possibly why there isn't much of a BRITISH food section in US stores?

  • @MichaelG1986

    World Market is a good place to buy British stuff. It's a place you can pretty much always find Marmite and an OK selection of biscuits and tea. They have Yorkshire, PG Tips, etc. I love Twiglets. I'd say give Heinz Salad Cream a try. It's good as a sandwich spread and also as a salad dressing. It's got a nice tangy/sweet flavor. I was surprised at how much more expensive US prices were compared to UK prices. Nice to see a bit of Portland as well. Portland is one of my favorite cities here in the US. I lived there in the 90s and still miss it.

    We used to have a British Tea room and shop in Lake Oswego called Lady Di's, it was started by a British lady called Diane, another British lady Mrs Stephens ran it for many many years, she did a wonderful job, from food sales to English Teas sold in one half of the Shop, an American lady bought it and with in a year or so it closed, we bought all our British food supplies from that shop for about 15-20 years.
    Costplus World Market in Keizer used to carry a lot of British things but nothing close to Lady Di's, we don't shop there much as selection has gotten very poor, the one shown in Portland looks amazing, far better than the Keizer store, these days we rely on a place from California and Amazon sometimes has what we need.

The brand has changed ownership several times, and production was moved to Poland in 2005. Since 2018, the Terry's Chocolate Orange has been produced in Strasbourg, France, by Carambar.

    No hate for our American friends but it is crazy how much sugar & salt they load the food over there, also how companies have tricks to get around the FDA's guidelines (like how the word "flavored" makes it so that they don't actually have to put the original flavour source in the product).

    I'm petty sure the Canadian Hienz beans are pretty similar if not exactly like the British ones. I learnt that on a taste comparison vid on YT a few year's ago. So if you need them it must be cheaper to buy on line from there. But then probably 10 dollars delivery 😂
