The WHO has classified the Black Pudding as a super food.
Your whole vid is just rubbish! Fish & chips started by people from a far off place? 😂😂
Look north where it was a staple many decades before, an thats just one point. Deep fried mushrooms?????? YOU ARE HAVING A FIKKIN LAUGH 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jon, was an absolute pleasure and thank you so much for covering these London classics! ❤
Thanks for the insights and riding in your taxi!
fix them bleedin Hampsteads

Tom, you are popping up everywhere these days.
The collab I did not expect, superb 👏🏻
“How long have you been working in here?”
“Too bloody long.”
Love that. Classic Brit humour! 😊
😂😂😂
That was brilliant!
@@ThatMarkGilroy and calling the vegetarians wussies.
@@prestonradtke222severely overlooked part of the video. That chef was hilarious😂
I'll eat around London with you anytime! Thanks for having me ! - Jess

Some notes:
1) Most people don't eat full english daily. usually, they're a Saturday or Sunday thing, and you'd probably have it as your breakfast and lunch that day. The FE is regional. It'll change from South to North England, Scotland , and Wales. Red Sauce vs. Brown Sauce is a continuous debate; some like both. Black/white pudding is not actually that common, nor is fried bread. They're usually optional extras you'd pay more for. Tomatoes can be grilled fresh ones ror tinned, toast white or brown, eggs scrambled/poached or fried. Bubble and squeak can be changed for hasbrowns, or in boojie places, sauteed potatoes.
2) People love pies, but usually, if we eat pies in a pub or at home, they come with peas/mushy peas, gravy, and potatoes of some kind. Pie, mash and liquor you tired is very much a 'London' thing but not something people generally eat outside of London. Usually, they have a pastry top, but you can order things like Shepherds pie, cottage pi, and fish pie that have mash and are not really 'pies.'
3) Fish and chips in Londonares are not representative of fish and chips around the country. It's always better on the coast. In the north its common for the to be fried in beef dripping whilst in the south they mostly use vegetable oil. Most people love their 'local' and are enjoyed usually on Fridays. You can eat it with mushy peas/ curry sauce/ tartare sauce. At a chippy, you'll likely find Pukka pies, sausages, battered sausages, fishcakes, pickles, pickled eggs, and other parculiar things.
4) People don't usually have large afternoon teas unless they're celebrating. Generally, if people go out for afternoon tea on the regular, they're just getting a scone and a cuppa.
Great vid, loved that you involved locals.
Great notes
Difference between North & South Fish n Chips is that , I believe, in the South they will fry the fish with the skin on , in the North its Skinless .
I’m Aussie and I agree. Is Aussies have inherited a few englishisms and I’m glad you gave this info.
Please do not think London Food is the rest of the UK Food, London is overpriced and Not up to the standards of typical British food you will find all over the country, like in Cornwall you must have Cornish pasties. @HereBeBarr
Black pudding is not that common ? Utter nonsense !
the full english is a rare treat, its the sunday morning when you have a few mates round at the weekend.
that looks ok, a bit of mustard would help.
Absolutely love Tom’s little tidbit about how his dad taught him to construct the perfect bite of a full English 😍
it was like the whole kitchen in a bite.
@@HereBeBarr perfect description! I wonder how each element got to be considered a crucial part of the full English? 🤔😃
@@HereBeBarrI like the fact that you have gone to some of the more working class district s of my home city of London, especially in the East End to neighbourhoods like Bethnal Green for E Pellici's. London is very similar to NYC in many neighbourhoods and I love the diversity as well as the fact that British institutions like E Pelicci still stays strong. It would be good to see a video where you go to some other London areas to try some of the ethnic cuisines from all around the world. Brixton is great for Carribean food and Green Lanes and Dalston for Turkish cuisine. We even have a Chinatown in Central London near Soho.
Yes I'm 57 years old I always think it's odd if and when people eat a full Eb separately, probably should be sent to the gallows tbh haha. I also hate the far right immigrant line we see all over atm, when our British food is from people all over the world settling here, it does my head in, look at England football team, probably 70% from foreigners, but I love em all. Come on England pls think deeper.
Jon: This is like 10 pounds of Fish (Talking about Weight)
Charlie: Its 8 n half Pounds (talking about money)
I LOVED THAT MOMENT 😂😂😂
🤯
I love following your NYC content and glad you got to enjoy some good experiences in my home city. Typically I find tourists, but usually Americans, pick terrible places to eat over here without doing any research and then lecture the world on how bland the food is - so glad to see you recruited so local guides!
Pity he didn't go down brick lane for a curry,I'm from up north stayed in Covent garden 6 months I found that London has the best curry houses
UK citizens do the same in NYC,no research,just go to tourist traps they have heard about,or just go to fast food,then they say American food is terrible,and expensive.I am British,born,and raised,but live in NY,and it is upsetting when I see other British people saying the food here isn’t good,and I know British people don’t like it when tourists say British food is bland.Even here in the comments British people are being negative about London food,and I know that there is good inexpensive food to be found in London,and just in case you think I’m a Londoner,I’m not,from Birmingham,but I know that in a city the size of London,there has to be good reasonably priced food to be found.
Hash browns up until around 15 or so years ago were not a part of a full English. They started being added in the 90s after McDonald's started selling them, then because shops like iceland and farm foods started selling bags of frozen hash browns, for about £2 for 20, they were a cheap item to bulk the plate of food out for pennies, to make it look like you were getting more for your money. If i get a full English after 11am i will request chips with it, as i dont like hash browns, to make it more of a brunch. If i order one before then ill ask for an extra sausage or egg instead of the hash browns. Ill always have bubble if its on offer though.
I wouldn't actually call those fried potatoes hash browns. I know that's how they're marketed but traditional hash browns are something totally different and much more delicious. I never saw mushroom on a full English I was also surprised there wasn't any white pudding?
You know bubble was never on a breakfast in the days I was raised in England,bubble,and squeak as we called it then was something we ate for our tea,and a full English often had kidneys on it, black pudding were proper sausages,not those disks you have now,and when you cut them open,there was chunks of fat in them to keep them moist,though I always pulled the fat out,and discarded it.😊
@@JanetBrown-px2jn yeah, bubble and squeak is still a teatime meal, but if it's on the menu I'll have it with a breakfast aswell. You do get decent sausages from some places, or if you make a full English at home, but a lot of cheaper places use cheapo sausages nowadays.
@@JanetBrown-px2jn I've seen those disks on a lot of breakfast plates black and white. I grew up in an area of mostly German immigrants where we called it blood sausage and it was like 6" fat sausage that most people fried until it split open. It smelled disgusting and it was all mealy inside. We had 2 versions, regular and sweet. The sweet had raisins inside. I never tasted either one.
hashbrowns shouldnt be on there, its criminal putting them on the plate. mushrooms just dont go with a fry either, mushrooms and eggs i'll never understand, its a combination meal, as in you should put a bit of everything on the fork together thats a beauty of a fry up, but mushrooms dont belong in that mix. Also to me you cant have beans and tomatoes, its either one or the other, those two dont mix together.
Jon, further on the history on a Jewish immigrant bringing Fish and Chios to London, it was due to dietary kosher laws. It wasn't easy to procure kosher meat, and fish ( excluding shellfish) was a good choice.
Fish and chips came with the railways but yes the fish bit was thanks to the Jews and their way of preserving fish.
Great picks! Everyone raves about that fish and chip shop, great choice in Gigs, there's a pub around the corner that let's you bring it in to have with your pint!
Well done on eating the eels & black pudding, rather you than me & thanks for appreciating how much immigration had played a part in making our food special. 😀
Good to see Tom the Taxi Driver on your video.
One of the viewers pointed him out to me, so I owe the audience for him :)
The Full English Breakfast looks amazing, top quality nosh
I told you the Fish & chips were elite 😁🤩
Thanks for joining me!!
But where was the mushy peas?
Tom's become a staple in London food reviews. Expert. And I like his YT channel as well.
Bravo Jon, this was GREAT!!! I was just in London and we tried to sample all the iconic dishes. I’ll have to return and check out these places.
I love how it went from Core Blimey London Cockney breakfast to very, very posh afternoon tea! 😂👍🏻
Nice to see you made it to this side of the pond
Ahhh, so good to see Tom! You couldn’t have a better guide 😄
At last a proper breakfast with FRIED BREAD!
Been a long time follower Jon and have followed and shared your excellent guides to NYC for many trips over the pond. Great to see you in London and enjoying some great grub
Jon's in London!!
Welcome mate, hope you enjoy your trip here 😀
GIGS fish and chips, know it well, I used to work in Goodge Street Tube station just around the corner, had this at least twice a week. Christopher the owner knew me and my colleagues well, lovely guy. Great meal
This was so interesting. The fish & chips had my mouth watering. Well done Jon.
Jon I appreciate that you made this video ! London, England is the first city that I would like to visit when I travel to Europe !
Come to Manchester. It's far better 😅
@@willscottytv Manchester has just been added to my list of cities to visit.
@@JoseFlores-kl6jmpeople are nicer up north. If you are doing Manchester it’s very easy and quick to get the train to Liverpool.
Thanks for making me drool this morning, oh that reminded of Friday night at home growing up ! 60 odd years ago 🇨🇦now , oh the fish and chips , I was heart broken when I finally went back 20 years after I left , the chippy was now a Chinese take away 🥹 💧
Our traditional national dish is roast beef, mad to leave that out! And pie and liquor is something they used to eat in London many decades ago haha
Still do though.. and out in Essex, Herts and Kent.
What a great video Jon. London is such a great city like New York. The two best for me. I think you covered all the traditional UK Foods there. Although I have never seen anyone eat a scone like a burger before with two hands. Unique that. You split them in half with your hands and eat them. Nice with. Hope you can visit again and maybe do a Northern part of the country. Superb work as usual. The best NYC CZcamsr in the business. If you’re new to Jon’s Channel you won’t be disappointed. Just watch the videos.
Haha my camera guy called me out for that too hahah.
@@HereBeBarr Wouldn’t be a Here Be Barr food video without something unique happening. Now you know how the Brits do it.
@@johnoleary148But I have to agree with your statement - HereBeBarr is the best NYC CZcamsr in the business 😅😊🎉
Ahh the timing on this is perfect! I’m going to London next month and I’ll definitely be trying some of these! 😍
Gotta try a wetherspoons full english aswell
@@mazdarx-8rotary.97 thank you!
For a great full English I would suggest Maggie’s in Lewisham and do the create your own. Best in the city
GREAT WORK Jon ,excellent helpers with you
As an english person you dont deep fry mushrooms in veg oil for an english breakfast! You either pan fry in butter or grill if you want to be healthy. Also bubble and squeak should not be mentioned in the same breath as a full english.
Ooh, I’m not too sure. I’d prefer bubble to hash browns.
Amen brother
@virgiltracey9130 Oh no, you have to have a good hash brown with a fry up.
Great video! Noted every place you show. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
deep fried mushrooms were wrong, you use half button mushrooms and fry in butter until the edges brown then serve... fried bread is buttered both sides and lightly fried on both sides
hash browns we dont have those in the full english or bubble and squeak...
Afternoon Tea at the Shard is the best. Peter Pan themed. Incredible views.
£13.40 for a full English. That's crazy!!!
@chandlerbingbong It’s $17.41 American Dollars would be cheap by NYC standards 😂😅😊
The Toby chain do an all you can eat breakfast mid-week for £6 it even has yorkshire pudding avalible with it, and and unlimited coffee for an extra £2. I'm on the Fylde Coast so maybe cost more around the country
Cheap for London
No not really, a large full English like that would fill me up and last me all day.
A basic omelette will cost you way more than that in NYC.
A full English is a once-a-week thing.
It's a brunch, so it's both breakfast and lunch, as it keeps you going right up until tea time.
Why not eat a Full English Breakfast daily?
@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO Because it's a feast.
However, beans on toast is a daily breakfast.
@@KirkhamWesham A feast?, 🤣; a cooked English breakfast consists of very conservative amount of food, ie 1 Sausage, 1 Bacon, 1 Egg, 1 large Mushroom, 1 Hash-Brown, and half a tin of Baked Beans, that's far from a feast; a feast would consist of: 4 Sausages, 6 Bacon Rashers, 6 Eggs, 6 Hash-Browns, 4 large Mushrooms, and a whole tin of Baked Beans.
@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO An English breakfast usually comes with alot more than that.
2 x toast
2 x hash browns
Beans
Fried mushrooms
Black pudding
2 x eggs
2 x sausages. Some have fried toast, bubble'n'squeak.
That's a feast and well over 1500 calories. If you eat that everyday, your cholesterol will be ridiculously high and you'll gain weight extremely fast.
Watching you both enjoy those full english breakfast's has inspired me, im getting one tomorrow 🤣
Fun fact: Fish and Chips originated from the Jewish London communities first then the Greek, Turkish Cypriot took over the Fish and Chip shops in London and added the kebab as part of the deal.
It's quite easy to remember that it's jam first! You get a knife to spread the jam and a spoon to pile on the cream. That's from a Cornishman, whose county invented this.
Cracking video. Highlights of London grub. Well done.
The away you built that scone, cream & jam then munched it with two hands was hilarious 😂! You just need to spread the fillings on one half at a time.......then stick the whole half in your mouth 😁🤣
What a fantastic vid. So pleased he has come to London. His New York educational vids are just the best out there and save us so much stress by watching before we went. Made our stay so much more enjoyable.
Gr-r-r-eat 🤗 London has killer spots my boy @HereBeBarr HOPED YOU ENJOYED it ALL 🇬🇧 I know i sure did 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼
Great crossover, saw E Pellici on another video, and also getting Tom on.
I hope you come back over and visit other areas of England. There’s more to England than just London.
Great video though!
Btw we don’t all have a full English 😂
Yah I was joking about that 😂 I knew it was just for special occasions
@@HereBeBarr no worries at all buddy! Really glad you came over 👌🏻
I get it's for the experience and IG shots, but god damn. 83 quid per person is madness the afternoon tea 😂
Most definitely!
You missed the most iconic of all British foods, Chicken Tikka Masala! 🤣
I think he was looking to try iconic British foods,not something he can get on most streets in NYC.
Welcome to London 🥳
The afternoon tea was beautiful❤
Hot take: we need to take a page out of that last place’s book… Too many establishments in the United States are overly casual these days. Sometimes it’s nice to dress up.
When you put the top and bottom of the scone on each other I threw my laptop out the window
Thanks for being the one to point that out. Tea came out my nose when I saw that. Quelle horreur!
How would he know how to eat it,anyway. It didn’t look as if he ate much of his high tea.
Geez-us!! I'm Australian....my very proper mother would've been mortified!
But hey, the Brits transported my ancestors for stealing a loaf so they could eat....and now we have Australia....best food ANYWHERE 😉🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing ✨✨✨
Can't believe you didn't have a salt beef bagel from Beigel Bake, Brick Lane Bakery🤦♂
He can get that anytime he likes in NY,so no need to sample that,by the way we call salt beef corned beef,not the stuff in tins,brisket that has been corned.
Dont listen to the cockney , its always vinegar first so the salt sticks to the chips and isnt 'washed off' by the vinegar.
CZcamsrs: Assemble
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Bubble and squeak i used to have every Monday with a Fry up, loved it
For a great fry up watch for where the van drivers and builders go.
I reckon that's true everywhere.😉😋🇦🇺
Or the police. I stayed in a hotel near Buckingham Palace a few years back where the breakfast on offer was a) awful and b) hideously expensive. However, over the road was a traditional caff where the local police (of which there were many) ate. Absolutely the best breakfast ever and about 20% of the price of the hotel offering.
We love Jess , she’s from NY too… but a Brit at heart..! Nice collab..!
❤❤
Great video Jon.... I think I'd skip the eels, but the rest, 🤩(Especially the Afternoon Tea). 😊
Jon in London, great!😃 London is such a magical place to be just like NYC. If you’re still in London you should try a Greggs bake/pie.😁
Yes Greggs that was founded in Newcastle upon Tyne …not London 😊
@@Ionabrodie69 Did I say that Greggs was founded in London? 🤔 There are Greggs stores across the UK.
Everyone raves about the sausage roll but don't sleep on the steak bake. I would take the steak bake over a sausage roll any day.
@@Mwoods2272 Great!😁
Despise london
London fish and chips are the best, says someone who never left London for sure.
It's like you went to London and hung out with all my "friends" - since I subscribe to their channel! 😆
Great video Jon!
I have to say, the best afternoon teas I've ever had has been in 5 star hotels in Dubai! They are totally next level!
Love the channel!👍👏👏👏♥️
GREAT VIDEO! ❤ i really enjoyed it!
Love Pellicci’s, full English with side of banter.
lovely video, thank you.
You’re being misled. Always jam first - unless you’re a barbarian…😂
I get my pie'n'mash online and delivered from Manzies, the packing of it is wonderful, and its delicious.
You should’ve tried all the new modern British food gastro pubs. So much quality nowadays. So many young talented chefs.
Still blows my mind that Americans don't have vinegar on their chips. Never even knew they didn't till a few months ago.
In America 65 years ago when the Carnival came to town a booth sold French fries and offered malt vinegar. We couldn't buy it then in USA and had to wait a whole year to have it again!
I still find it amazing how Americans struggle to use a knife & fork
Pellicci’s was the Krays favourite cafe as well 😊
Just sat eating my cod and chips!!!
We have Cod and chips in the United States too. We have battered Alaskan white fish, we have battered haddock, we have battered Cod we have battered flounder, and so on and so on😊
Bubble and squeak with the fry up yeah you get points for that
Great video! But it's got to be vinegar on first. Then the vinegar catches the salt. 🤣 My family debates this often, half say salt first.
At Manzes it's all about the double double and well done for remembering to flip the pie and chilli vinegar it up 👌
Yum black budding good for you
Jacket spud with beans and grated cheese is a very traditional dish.
“Vegetarians are woodies” classic 😆. I dread to think what she class vegans as 🤣🤣
That fish and chips iis amazing. For me me keep the mushy peas and curry sauce etc. All good fish and chips needs is salt vinegar and some tartare. Although admit i like a little ketchup.
the humble savaloy should be on the plate from time to time.
Awesome video, really injoyed this
Also pie and mash is a British thing , but most people outside of London have gravy instead of liquor, i personally have never tried liquor so I imagine that 90% of brits haven’t tried it
Love the London (British) content 🙌
Love it ❤️❤️❤️
The place looks very friendly. That is so funny that you can mute the driver in the cab. 850 lunch special for fish and chips that’s a steal and they give you a big portion great video Jon.
If you ever want a Yorkshire food tour Jon, I’ll gladly take you round for some classic northern eating!
A far better culinary experience than down south. Show him what fish and chips should really be like, fried on dripping, with scraps.
@@willscottytv That’s what I’m talking about. Yorkshire Puddings need to be on the menu up here of course!
I’m down 😝
£13.40 for a fry up......got to love London prices
You got a new subscriber ❤
If you blinked you could have missed where Gigs is. Even if you didn't it's not that clear where it is.
If you put Ketchup on Fish and Chips you will be deported!!!😂😂😂
You should concider taking a trip to the west midlands and try battered chips it's our local delicacy it's also known as orange chips
The afternoon tea is fantastic !!! Maybe the next stay on your journey could be Berlin ?
Fantastic looking breakfast 🇬🇧 now off to get the black pudding out the fridge and sort myself some scran…
Jolly good show 👍
Whilst serving me, go nuts on the mushrooms. I love mushrooms.
WOW glad u liked your food in london. 1day i hope to experience new york !
Great video showing how immigration has shaped and enriched British culture and cuisine 👍
Very true! Italians invented the full English breakfast, Greeks invented English pie & mash, Jews invented English fish & chips. In return we gave the Italians spaghetti and pizza, the Greeks gyros and souvlaki and of course the Jewish folk matzoh ball soup, bagels and brisket! 😏
@@haitolawrence5986 the Greeks had fuck all to do with pie and mash!
English breakfast! 😍😍😍
