Every sensible person who goes hiking up mountains or on long walks takes Kendal mint cake with them as it is full of sugary minty goodness and energy.
Oh lovely! i love flavoured fudge and those biscuits. I hope you enjoy, i will look forward to the taste test videos. Have a nice weekend.
Thanks Keza. We can't wait to get into that fudge! 🙂 Almost Friday! Enjoy your weekend too.
Welshcakes…..just toast them lightly then get a huuuuuge knob of best butter and whilst the Welshcakes are still hot, spread the butter over it, so it melts INTO the Welshcake….. then just bite into it, taking care not to splosh butter all down your clean shirt Ross! 😂😂
You can add a bit of jam if you want to …… *whistles* 🤭 or just enjoy as is with lots of butter….they are ok “cold” but a warm Welshcake is a very deep joy… 😍😍
Since we have several Welsh cakes, we'll be able to try them a few different ways. It sounds like butter is a must - and hopefully we won't make a mess! 🙂
You literally could open a British food store in your local area with the amount of stock you are receiving 😃
We sure could. 🙂
My mother used to make Welsh Cakes every weekend for my brother, sister and myself when we were young, here in the Rhondda., South Wales.
Home made Welsh Cakes - I bet they were delicious. Did you have them with butter or anything else?
Kendal mint cake which is a hard mint confection, was eaten by Edmund Hilary and sherpa Tenzing Norgay when they became the first to summit Everest in 1953.
Quite a history!
Haha yes! I remember it was hard, you had to suck it for quite a while, and I have the fillings to prove it!
Don’t forget your tea when you eat your biscuits😅
We'll try not to! 🙂
Those sweets are called Dolly Mixtures here in uk.
Yay Welsh Cakes 🏴
Preferably eat whole (don't slice) warm with butter on top. Sometimes raspberry or strawberry jam can be added. Mmm 🤤
Hi Jonno, we look forward to trying these with the currants. Thanks for the serving tips.
Welshcakes are GOOD worm with a nob of butter on top .YOU don't spilt in harf. Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊👍👍🐶
Thanks Shane!
Indeed you don't split in half! I just shove them in whole! God I'm hungry 😂
Flavours from my childhood, Kendal mint cake from the lake district where we get our water in Manchester, aniseed, treacle toffee on bonfire night, Tina and Ross you're in for a treat with Richard's second box, what a fantastic selection, Berwick is pronounced Berrick.Monster munch is for kids 😂, enjoy
Hi Michael, it all sounds delicious. Ross may not appreciate the aniseed bar, but I'll take care of it! 😄
We're just a couple of big kids so that's appropriate. 🤣
I’m Manc and yes our water has come from the Lake District since Roman times, back then they used aqueducts.
Flat pack Welsh cakes have no sugar on top, where as the ones in stack are coated with sugar on top.
Thanks Richard. We were wondering if there was a difference between the two packs.
Dolly mixtures are the sort of thing mum's and nans would always have to give to kids. A bit like a dog treat.
Also old fashioned product Neil bit like liquorice alsorts from bassets something we all grew up on going sweet shop after school
American hard gums, wine gums, humbugs, bon bons, extra strong mints and many more. I never needed to go to a sweet shop. Mum worked in a sweet factory.
A tasty reward?
@@neilgayleard3842 what are American hard gums?
@@FinnLovesFoodermmm gums that are hard? 🤔😉… sorry *smacks self* - I’m sooo roood! 😳😲. they are like the USA gumdrops but more “hard n chewy” not soft n squidgy! they are mostly sugar coated unlike “wine” gums. I believe they are called American hard gums just because they look like USA gum drops!
Warm Welsh cakes with normal unsalted butter on top with a tiny sprinkle of sugar on top. Absolutely delicious.
Hi Vicky, do you use regular sugar or powdered (icing) sugar?
@@FinnLovesFood regular caster sugar.
@@vickytaylor9155 thanks Vicky. Richard just mentioned that one of the packs comes with sugar already on top.
Love welsh cakes just plain as they are or warmed slightly but no need to put anything on them really ! Lovely with a cuppa !
That box was similar to Mary Poppin’s bag😅😅😅😅😅😅
😁
Well done Tina, its pronounced "Berrick".
Victoria biscuits are normally pretty nice, they have a nice crunch lol and generous with the chocolate. But those sandwich biscuits are one of my all time faves, love em.
The mint cake isnt as hard as you think when u bite it, but you only want a little taste cos its pure sugar.
Hi Siobhan, we look forward to trying them all. "Generous with the chocolate" sounds good to us! 🙂
Monster munch always a favourite 🌹
Very good. Think pickled onion might be a favorite.
Roast beef was always my favourite but I'm sure they have altered the recipe since the 1980s
on the ball today 2mins in. Don't care much for fudge but those could change my mind 😀
Always a treat to watch the Tina ,Ross & Richard show. You all have great taste and not the usual narrow experience of disliking anything you did not grow up with. Mint cake is great but I could never eat much - too sweet - in fact the only thing sweeter (it is possible) is Scottish tablet, we used to make it at home and I am not kidding when I say that one bite could last a week of sugar intake! Great unboxing again & kudos to Richard (again),
I agree - tablet is the sweetest thing I've ever tasted. I couldn't eat it. Fudge I do love.
Ideal for that energy rush mint cake, handy too for diabetics need boost when blood sugar is low.
When I use do regular hill n mountain walking long before my leg illness, use love taking aniseed candy mint bar with me nothing better on cold day in hills finish pack up off bit mint cake give you that boost fight on through cold weather on hills.
Absolutely spot on Richard and it keeps well for long expeditions

It seems we'll get to try both mint cake and tablet! I do love maple sugar candy. So sweet, but so good.
That's a lot of fudge hehe
It's a good thing we like fudge.
Welsh Cakes especially warm with a little butter are absolutely delicious! As for kendal Mint Cake, that was a very sweet confection i used to pester my parents for on their weekly garden centre outings - its the sort of snack you tend to find in a UK garden centre, alongside fudge and coconut ice.
Your garden centres sound much more interesting than ours. We just get plants and pottery, rarely snacks!
@@FinnLovesFood garden centres here are more of a day out! They tend to have cafes/restaurants - home products, pet products, alongside the garden stuff and bespoke home made food like chutneys and cheeses etc - one near me is absolutely fantastic you could easily spend a bomb there!
@@Joanna7428 that sounds like a lot of fun!
@@FinnLovesFood they are more of a day out than a quick scan for plants, either that or I need to get out more! No seriously they are great places, only downside is you can spend a fortune 🤗
Another thing my mother loves is Welsh cakes we used to always go to wales as a family for a holiday or just a day trip as my dad loved driving may he RIP and we couldn’t leave without Welsh cakes for my mother and Welsh ice cream for me and my sister BEST ICE CREAM ever to be made 100%
We definitely liked the Welsh cakes we tried before. Guess we'll have to make a big trip if we ever want to try Welsh ice cream! 🙂
@@FinnLovesFood it would be worth it! 🤣 I always went for honey comb sister always went bubblegum father always had rum and raisin and mother normally copied me
SEEMS LIKE YOU NEED A LITTLE TABLE, BETWEEN WHERE YOU SIT, FOR THESE RICHARD BOXES.
That would be convenient. Don't have to bend over so far.
Glad everything got there,
Mint Cake is only produced in Kendal,
Romneys is Main producer of Kendal Mint Cake products, the place buy is the factory shop where Romney created mini museum attached to shop/Factory u buying it from the source.
Wilsons is another kendal mint cake surviving brand they do just plain mint cake white be in glass box
Quiggans 3rd mint cake supplier this be in April boxes.
Hi Richard, that's interesting that it's only produced in Kendal. Spoiler alert - we did sample Wilsons in the glass box unboxing. 😀Thanks again. Can't wait to try everything. The fudge flavors sound delicious!
Berwick like Derrick.
Thanks!
It's a border town in England that used to be in Scotland. They play football in the Scottish league.
Pipers u have full range in box barring one flavour out of stock Wissington Tomato
Reason for odd names, the Tomato referral to farms or areas in uk that ingredients come from to make pipers crisps. Think u had cheddar pipers in past in yum box
Welsh cakes don't cut them in any way just toast them way they are usually little butter on, I have put maple syrup on maybe those flavour maples your co worker got u Tina u have might be idea try on odd one.
The Cheddar flavor does sound familiar. What a nice selection of crisp flavors.
That's a good idea about the maple syrup. We'll have to try with just butter and also with the syrup.
You guys should try some Japanese sweets they're awesome..
And I love how you guys make such exciting videos,i'll will be waiting for the next videos...
We subscribed to Bokksu, a Japanese snack box, for a bit. We always loved the packaging. We have a playlist here: czcams.com/play/PL3Q3a72Ii4C_o1Rj6v7hI1_kniwjGKHxj.html&si=ziDUDm8WLb15KMkm We've also done some Japanese Kit Kat tastings.
Oooh have you both tried Eccles Cakes? They are lovely buttery cakes filled with currants, they've been around quite a long time bere in the UK.
We have! We really enjoyed them. We even tried making Chorley cakes.
@@FinnLovesFood oh brill! Chorley cakes are lovely and traditional northern treats like Eccles cakes - hats off for making them!
jesus christ these items look like they were bought in 1965
A lot of the packaging had a very vintage look to them.
Help of my Tardis I travel in time n space 🤣
