What food shall I travel for next?
Comment below 😀
Gyros, stifado, kleftiko or mousakka in greece
Belgium for Waffles and Chocolate? Yummy 😋
Francesinha in Porto. Look it up
We would love to see your favorite home cooked meals . 🥘 🍱 🍲.
Tapas in Spain.
The quality of the content in the videos is getting better and better each week mate thanks for another great video keep up the great work🎉🎉
Gary eats stole all his subs
I’ve been patiently waiting for the next installment in this series. So bloody good
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the bog standard toilet!
Haha
I was going to comment the same 😂
Love Train journeys. Beautiful City. Thank you for taking us along.
Haggis with a Scottish breakfast is really nice. Like a black pudding but different.
Love the way the restaurant presented the dish. Definitely wasn't expecting that.
The haggis was better than I thought it would be
I couldn't imagine of the idea of eating a sheep's brain 🙈
Scotland most beautiful country 💙
It’s refreshing to see public areas without graffiti, here in the states most large cities are covered with unsightly graffiti! Love your channel!
Hope you manage to get to the UK and see some of our places for yourself soon!
Yes it is lovely to see no graffiti although choose your Cities as we do have some grot spots here as everywhere. 🇬🇧 York and Chester definitely nice Cities with loads of History 🎉
im glad i found this channel the vids are just so chill and comfy, if you keep making the vids how you do your going to take off eventually
Loved Edinburgh! The Architecture is stunningly gothic and the weather just added to it! Thanks for taking us with you. The train journey looked very comfortable. I wouldn't say the cost of the meal was too steep, it was a high end presentation the way it was served, and looked amazing, glad you enjoyed it. But do agree the train fare is absurdly expensive to travel within UK. You're getting expert at these adventures now! 😅 Can I suggest Aberystwyth soon? It's a University town by the beautiful sea. Known for it's Fish & Chips and ofcourse Welsh cakes and Lava Bread. That would be fun! 😊
Wales would be a good trip!
Haggis is absolutely lovely! Don’t understand why people are so worried about trying it.
I think its the thought of the ingredients that puts people off
Edinburgh is such a nice city, pleased the haggis lived up to expectations! 🙂 Next stop: Middlesbrough for a parmo? 😉
Hello my friend lovely to see you as always, lovely venue & the meal was beautifully presented , pleased you enjoyed it. I've only had Haggis a few times but like it, I love travelling by rail but in comparison to other forms of transport is very expensive. Your recent trips abroad to do these reviews have been much more cost effective, looking forward to your upcoming videos thank you for sharing,take care 💜 XX
"Pretty bog standard", ha, ha good description of the toilet there As ever, great vlog, thanks very much xx
😁
I enjoyed watching the video very much, thanks for sharing it! 👍 Considering the huge amount of food and the enormous teapot I think it was worth the price you paid, not to forget you've likely really had the best haggis in Edinburgh. 🤔 This stack of food would have stuffed me for two days. 😆
I'm already looking forward to watching where your next food journey will lead you to. 👍😊
Another fantastic video even though it was expensive. Great point about the fares. Surely train travel is more eco friendly too. I'm Scottish and I have to say myself my wife and our 3 children all prefer black pudding to haggis!
Re train fares. Sadly XC is regularly criticised for high fares and lack of capacity. There *can* be low train fares but it all depends on the route and the operator. I mean Lumo has great fares for London-Edinburgh (a much greater distance than Leeds-Edinburgh) as it competes directly with incumbent LNER.
Great point 👍
Top video, the Haggis looked awesome! 😋 ….Smithy
Great video! PS Earl Grey tea is meant to be drunk without milk!
Love these videos. Can’t wait for the next instalment in the series! 🎉
That meal did indeed look delicious- and a beautiful walk around a picturesque city as well. Great video!
Surely it depends on time of booking of trains or planes. I flew to Portugal on Boxing day. The couple beside me said they booked 2 weeks before paying £620 each one way, I booked 6 months in advance at a cost of £80 return.
I took a trip to Truro last September I booked 3 months in advance and paid £60 return. The lady next to me paid for a walk up standard ticket at £189!
I'm liking these little trips of yours. keep it up, duder.
Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoy this channel. Always love it when I see one of your vids blow up too.
You and me both!
Another great vlog, always enjoyed them and now like your travel.to find foods🖐🇺🇸
Love this series mate!!! Keep them coming!!
Thanks
Our trains in Australia about the same but the most impressive one I've seen was on the Shinkasen in Japan.
I need to go there and try it
As usual great video thanks
Another thoroughly watchable video 👍🏼 Food looked great and I don’t think it was extortionate bearing in mind the location. Loved the inclusion of the ‘bog vlog’ 🙂
Maybe bog vlogs will be my new thing lol
You could go to Cornwall for a cream tea or to Melton Mowbray for a pork pie.
Good tips!
Nice cup of tea I never had milk waters it down never had haggis, but that looks good
Hello, EIE
What a delicious looking meal. I've never had haggis. After seeing yours, i would certainly try. Thanks for sharing 😊😊
I first ate haggis nearly 60 years ago and continue to to so. Give it a whirl!
Go for it! 😀
Love this series 😂
Great show!😋😍❤🎉
£ 132 pounds , bloody hell mate
It was an expensive trip!
Perhaps with rail, it's the cost of the infrastructure, maintenance, labour is also very expensive and don't forget to add the shareholder's bunce too. That makes it more expensive than flying.
Historically, when hunters made their kill, they would use up the offal, which went off first, using the cleaned animal’s stomach as a cooking bag not used today . haggis is Minced heart, liver and lungs are bulked out with oatmeal, onions, suet, seasoning and spices before cooking. Nowadays natural casings are still used not always , but synthetic ones are becoming more common (there is no effect on the flavour
Train ticket price ridiculous. However I hope you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh. There are so many fantastic culinary experiences to enjoy in this city so do return sometime. I’m sure you can get a flight from Leeds Bradford to Edinburgh for the same price if not cheaper.
It is interesting how much it can cost to travel by train on the day. It can work out a lot cheaper to fly by plain or get the train ticket in advance a few days before travel. Coach is better value. I have enjoyed your short trips and have encountered the same problems you have had with delays and knowing the way to get to places. Weatherspoons does a good Haggis meal in January across the country for Burns Night they do for a few weeks.
Should I do a coach trip somewhere?
@@everydayimeating3407 Yes, I have seen a few CZcamsrs do coach trips. Even to places in Europe. Megabus is cheap as well you could go to Edinburgh and back for £30 I go from Portsmouth to Birmingham for £20 and less sometimes.
Imagine walking past the train toilet and seeing this guy doing a review of it for CZcams 😂🤣🤣
Thankfully nobody was using it at the time.
They would think I'm a crazy person!
that was a very expensive train journey 💔💔 loved the look of the meal
It was an expensive haggis lol
The reason the trip abroad is cheaper than the trip to within the UK is the Plane ticket is probably subsided by the government of the country you are traveling to. If you want a UK equivalent get the train to Blackpool. The Blackpool council subsidises the cost of trains there making it one of the cheapest places to get a train to.
The idea being get people there as cheaply as possible and you'll reap the rewards by having the tourists spend money once they get there.
Toilet is pretty bog standard. I was expecting a ‘no pun intended’ 😂
Hahaha
That was an amazing stack of yummyness, i have had the real deal like that in St Andrews my 1st taste and I ❤ it, ty for sharing the beautiful Edinburgh 🇫🇮
Love your videos😘
Thank you so much 😀
Good afternoon from sunny, humid Los Angeles!🙋♀️ Memorial Day weekend here!
What a fancy looking meal! Happy to see you enjoyed it! I'll still pass on haggis. I'm not that adventurous 😁. I'll take the weather though! I love Edinburgh in the rain! I'll also take trains over planes. Trains are more fun!
Maybe Wales for their famous Welsh Rarebit next.
Wales would be a good trip!
Portugal next!
or Southend-on-Sea for fish & chips
You can save a lot on trains by getting your ticket a few weeks in advance & using train split tickets
Glad you enjoyed the haggis, looking forward to next trip 😊😊
Haggis was great!
Wow my friend that portion looks huge I would love to try that haggis 👍 I do enjoy your vids.This channel is defo in the up
Thanks 😀
Wow nice very short distance by train from Leeds to Edinburgh , furthermore I notice the weather is cold and some rainy to the same weather you got in Ireland anyway the .next train booking you can travelled to Wales perahaps the sea food there is very nice and also tasty ....you should try as well the recommendation for me also is the Walesh Rabbit & sausage they quite nice ....thanks and do some good videos I am Looking foward for this ,.....good night mate 🙂
Many thanks!
That haggis meal looked really tasty ❤
The journey from Leeds to Harrogate is totally beautiful once in the country and the latter town is gorgeous. Well worth the trip.
WELCOME TO EDINBURGH WHERE EVERYTHING IS SOO EXPENSIVE.
Wow, great vlog, but outrageously expensive, try berlin when you can and try the famous German doner
Currywurst and green for me!
Travel pricing comment: At least the train took you into the city. I am assuming now having travelled to Scotland before you would have to factor in either car gas and parking or taxi/uber fare both from home to airport and airport to city where the restaurant is located. Probably comes to the same pricing, I’d think??
Firstly the potatoes shouldn't be lumpy they should be smooth the turnip you had wasn't smooth either it's what we scottish would call runchie and the haggis looked like it had come out an oven, it shouldn't be cooked I'm an oven and definitely wouldn't pay what you did for it. There is so many variations of haggis tatties and neeps but sorry that really didn't look a good example
totally agree I've always had it side by side and the whisky sauce separate in a gravy boat for you to pour over your dish yourself . their is defiantly better places in Edinburgh that serve you up a good haggis neeps and tatties and cheaper the price
Strange striped pudding ! Years back I spent 3 days in Edinburgh for the Edinburgh Festival and the Military Tattoo. All amazing..and my haggis neeps and tatties with gravy in a cafe wasn't as posh as yours, and the items were identifiable. I loved my time there.
You should go around all of UK and try their food
Keep up the awesome work 👍🤗🍀
Well this was a success! Have had haggis and loved it too. The meal looked great. It was a really good vlog.
Thanks so much!!
Im thinking of going Edinburgh soon, so I'll definitely try that arcade haggis restaurant you went too. It looked really tasty although a little pricy. But Edinburgh isn't a cheap city. Another great less chaotic vlog.
Its worth a try for sure
Cornwall for a Cornish pasty? Might have to fly via Dublin!
Thats a big trip lol
INFRASTRUCTURE.....that's the answer!
People who travel by train have little idea of what it costs to run a railway, but when you understand the structure of a railway compared to a budget airline (which is closer to a cab journey than a railway) it all makes sense.
Need to try a haggis after watching your experience 😊
Haggis looked good. Love Edinburgh, and used to go to Leeds all the time back in the day for a club called Back to Basics, don't think it's still going now. Keep up the good work.
Haggis isn’t anything like black pudding, the only thing they have in common is the oats and the fact that there both delicious
The main cross over they have in common is people are put off by the ingredients, but they shouldn't be cause when done well they are among the most delicious things you can eat.
Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
that toilet was indeed "bog standard".
It was!
I love haggis but that plating was reminiscent of when you plop out a tin of dog food into a dish
It seems to be the trend now to stack everything like that. I prefer a more traditional presentation. It's easier to eat.
@@Islandicusme too, when they stack a roast dinner that particularly gets in my wick
Nice one Bro 👍
Thanks ✌️
Takes me back many many years ago to my honeymoon when I had haggis and glenfiddich -pretty good combo-not overly keen on the Haggis I am afraid.
We have so much more than haggis 😂 great vlog,❤
When did you book train if last minute thats why book earlier
How about Jersey to try the Jersey ice cream and cream and see if you can spot the lovely Jersey cows.
Another great video. I love haggis, but it's difficult to find a decent one made locally here in Merseyside. Have you thought of flying to the Isle of Man for a Manx kipper lunch?
Love the old InterCity livery on the LNER train
You hit a real niche here mate, very original challenges, although even with UK railways you would hope to do Edinburgh in one day. When is Madrid for Tapas?!!
I did go to Spain for Tapas in a previous video but it wasn't Madrid.
Love Scotland and a good haggis but it's not all perfect . Nearly always cold and raining and when the sun does make a rare appearance so do the midges , pesky little blighters 🤣
Meal was on the expensive side even for Edinburgh as was the train journey , I could do Lancashire to Edinburgh and back in a day in my car for around £50.
Love your mini adventure series 👍
Maybe the rail in UK is less effective than the air, so their cost reflects their efficiency.
Did you buy the train ticket last-minute? If so, that might be why it was so pricey. Advance purchase from Leeds on LNER would be about 40 or 50
Thanks for sharing and keep on doing what you do 😀. I recently flew, in Business, Frankfurt to Manila, RETURN. Cost me just under 1,700 GBP. Both ways. That’s over 20,000 kms. And you have to pay that just for a train ride?
When I was on holiday recently I was talking to a BR driver and he shared with me that his salary and pension which can be taken whilst still working were combined £108K a year so maybe you can understand why train fares are so expensive 😢
Simple Air travel has lots of competition while rail has none
Thanks for another great video...if you get the chance try McIntosh veggie Haggis, Neeps and Tatties that you can get in the supermarket..it's a microwave meal but actually really tasty when you add some butter to the neeps and tatties...regarding the travel cost....it's all about booking way ahead of time...I'm on Trainpal now and I've found a train that leaves Leeds at 07.42 and one that gets back from Edinburgh at 17.34 on Thursday 1st of August for £44.90 return..but I appreciate you probably do these at the last minute and can't factor in doing travel way in advance. Looking forward to your next video ;o)
Booking things months in advance is for sure cheaper both train and plane. But I'm booking them closer to the date
Amsterdam or Germany Berlin/Frankfurt next please . Just be careful of the first place as Pop Star found out,
The toilet is "Bog Standard"🤣🤣🤣
Ii was where that piper was on Thursday the rain was terrible, came back to London yesterday
train toilet is brilliant compared to USA, the automatic door is lovely, thats not going to have a wonky latch that lets the door slide open while you are doing your business!
Cardiff next buddy! Welsh rarebit or Glamorgan bangers and mash!
Public service more expensive no competition. Airlines compete so cheaper.
How much was the haggis meal?
the train fares are ridiculous and the meal was right in the heart of the most touristy area so that’s part of why it was pricey but my city is beautiful even in the rain ❤️🏴
Even though it was raining, it was a nice place
I hope you enjoyed the taste of it dude
love the content. I'm confused by the name what does it mean locally? I was expecting some video game theme actually
The needs ARE mashed turnips. Not sure about the UK , but here in Ireland, we have belied or steamed carrots and parsnips, and they often have mashed turnip mixed in. Very delicious 😋
Yep I am a Scottish blooded Scouser and our family have mashed potato, as well as mashed carrot and turnip (which is called "clapshot" in Scotland).
Of course in southern England they call turnips swedes, as down there they have always been able to grow the wee purple and white Continental turnips, wereas we only had the tougher Swedish veriety of turnip, or rutabaga if you are from the USA.
Who knew the simple turnip could be so confusing, eh
Neeps are mashed swede which is delicious with butter.
@@marleneclough3173 yes...Swedes, turnips all same thing really and yes delish with butter....only thing is ny dad used to say they taste better after tyry get a good hard frost, and are easier to cook....otherwise u could be boiling them until doomsday and they refuse to soften 🤣
@@sapphire22011 yes they do taste better after a hard frost but to be honest I do not like the small white turnips at all they have quite a different taste. The swedes are much nicer to my mind!
@@sapphire22011 Yep a frost causes the root to start to turn it's starch into sugar to help as an anti-freeze, same as parsnips
You need to book in advance, I’ve just looked and you can do a day return to Edinburgh to Leeds for £106, still expensive, but not what you paid, and £24 for a meal on Cockburn Street, right in the heart of Edinburgh isn’t expensive at all….
Its haggis though, we used to get that quite a bit when i was a child as it was a cheap meal.
@@patricialockhart2135 aye but not in Cockburn street , with mega rents lad….
I like bog standard toilets,I wouldn’t expect anything less.
haggis is good scran...
some chippies in England do them but they dont seem the same battered and chips ..
great as a midweek dinner in winter though, tell the kids its mince theyll never know its lungs ;-0
what type of haggis was it ?
Hello and thanks for another great video. As for comparing rail fares with air fares I must say that both modes have different pricing models. Air (Ryanair for example) will have low fares provided you book well ahead and are savvy enough to avoid the ancillary fees ! Rail doesn't have such a sophisticated pricing model and although the gov't (which is responsible for the fares - although few people realise this fact) wants to change things, nothing will happen for some time owing to the election. Even then if there's a change of gov't, rail is not the most urgent thing to be changed ... transport in the UK is well down the list of priorities of any gov't.
Your train trip to Edinburgh would have cost less had you changed at York and taken LNER. Check Trainline, which offers split fares, and based on early morning Leeds-Edinburgh for Tuesday May 28 with a mid-afternoon return would cost around £100.
Yes that is not cheap but then look at what Ryanair charges for Leeds-Dublin return on the same day (May 28). Right now I checked its website and the Ryanair basic price (not including the extras) is £365 !
I’m curious as to whether you had ever eaten haggis before and if so, how did it compare to this?
I have a long time ago, and from what I remember this was a lot lot better!
I’m usually envious of your meals, but not today🤢 Brilliant video though!
If you can get over the thought of what it is, its pretty good
Plane vs train, trains & infrastructure have been under invested for decades the concentration of most privatised train companies is to pay dividends to the shareholders whilst taking any subsides from the tax payer most train services i have used are well overpriced and the service is poor so stopped using them.
Except in Scotland the trains have been deprivatised (is that a word?) and have been back under government control since 2022. Only two days ago a bill passed in the Scottish Parliament to get rid of peak rail fares. Tickets will soon be costing the same no matter what time of day you travel.
Been ages since you did seaside resort reviews
Any chance of bring them back?
What seaside do you think I should visit?
@@everydayimeating3407 Berwick Upon Tweed
I used to go there as a kid and loved it
Would like to see you visit & review it
