Howdy folks it is Barry here from my virgin
kitchen we are not in my kitchen today and I am back with Stuart Ashen yes we are in
the YouTube space where I have just got hold of this Soviet officers jacket, yes and I
have this hard had. You guys enjoyed our Thailand taste treat
video, hardly poisoned at all and a lot of people were saying it was good to see Stuarts
face and that he actually enjoyed some food so today we are tasting some British treats
so if you are from around the World we will hopefully educate you with some British classics. It is impossible to slouch in this thing,
mainly because it is quite small. Right so first up are something called Salt
& Shake crisps, did you have a time machine to get these I swear they stopped making these
Years ago, yes they are pretty old school crisps and made by walkers which is aka lays. Basically you have a blue salt packet in there
and shake away. So you do not trust the crisp company to put
some salt on so you have to do it yourself it is like self catering or self seasoning
there is normally a little blue packet in there, oh here we go. So you have unsalted crisps and a packet of
salt basically all the crisps at the top get salty and the ones at the top get nothing
at all. I do not know why they stopped with just salt
though they should have pushed it out to paprika etc in fact you could do that yourself buy
plain crisps, season them, shake it, what have we done Barry?! We have destroyed the entire crisp industry
so in goes our salty shake thing, salt going everywhere like a salt protest it�s all
stuck in there, it has damp or something! Optional dance moves if you want. There was no salt on that whatsoever, not
a single molecule perhaps this is why it is nostalgic and that factories season them in
there instead. Do you think they only sell because there
are people that just want totally plain crisps that is the only way to get them, they are
like Ghandi crisps you have to dip them in the sea, that is how it works. And now hog lumps, or pork scratchings, with
lovely Mr Porky who has the stare of a serial killer, I have a butchers knife, I am not
afraid to use it. Eat these or die! They remind me of when I played tennis, there
were pigs in the field nearby and when we would finish playing tennis people would hit
the balls at the pigs that would eventually be turned into the pork scratchings served
at the bar. So it is like the circle of life, the circle
of pork. Like the game pass the pigs. Somebody once bet me �5 that I would not
eat a pork scratching, do you not like them? No I love them, it was the easiest bet in
the World, I reckon there is at least one hairy one though, what do you think. You get different types like the crispy ones
and the jelly ones I do not like the jelly ones I like it when crispy and firm with a
little snout hair on them. �Only recommended for people with strong,
healthy teeth, although every care has been taken to remove bones, some may remain�
you can eat every part of a pig can�t you, that could be a future video I want to eat
a whole pig. Here have one that looks like a pigs tail,
oh there is a super fatty one there that is basically a lump of jelly fat. This is probably the least healthy snack in
the World they really are super crunchy super salty and if you are lucky you may get some
snout hair on them. I cannot find a hairy one yet, sometimes they
give them a nice shave before turning them into pork scratchings, it is like a Gillette
advert or take them to the barber shop. So next up are Wotsits cheesy crisps so if
you do not like cheese like me not the best. I remember eating these years ago eating crisps
and playing sega megadrive he would eat the crisps and then pass the controller over then
have the crisps all over the controller, yep that is known as cheeto dust in America or
Wotsit dust in the UK so these are really cheesy puffy crisps. Do you like them? I do actually I have not had them for years. They are not as big as they used to be are
they? No and did they used to be more puffy? They used to be neon orange too, they did
� shenanigans. They are completely different to how I remember
them they used to be bright neon orange literally like some fluorescent hoola dress or something
like that from the eighties but I can eat them I am quite happy. I am disappointed, they have taken the soul
of my wotsits away. So now that our savoury is out of the way
it is time for some confectionary on the sweet side, wagon wheel � the classic biscuit,
mallow, chocolate and I do not think any of it is real it is all just chemically reconstructed,
that is like one of those big controversies are wagon wheels getting smaller did we just
get bigger, that is what people are doing, making things more expensive and smaller. I can promise you they have got smaller because
I found one down the middle of my dads sofa that I used to film on oh really it must have
been 15 years ago now I pulled it out and it was like an ancient wagon wheel from the
eighties still in its wrapper and indeed noticeably bigger, why do I get the feeling you have
done a video on that unfortunately not I threw it away before YouTube even existed it is
pretty low on perishable ingredients, nice tear away marshmallow, it is so good, really
crunchy biscuit, stretchy mallow and chocolate, I will probably do a video recipe on these
one day. Next up is caramac which apparently is quite
nostalgic, I have never had a caramac it sounds like something an old lady would use it is
the sort of thing my elderly aunt would go to the shop and get or she would mention it
and never actually buy it ok so caramac it must be caramel and mac because it is made
out of old apple computers, so caramel flavour bar with no help to its makeup. So caramel chocolate bar possibly with a caramel
flavour enhancer, it says caramac on there too just so you know you are eating it, what
a surprise! I like caramac although it is quite sickly
you would not want too much although you do not get that much so it is not really a problem. It does taste a lot like white chocolate with
a caramel flavouring in there, I really like that I am taking that back to the South West
of England with me & I am putting that in my pocket not in my pants by the way, that
would be lovely by the time you finished your train journey! Next up the mighty sherbert lolly combination
of dip dab but with a new twist the old ones used to be red and yellow coloured and this
one is refreshers brand which is another amazing sweet the refresher raspberry flavour sherbert
dip with a fruit flavoured lolly. I think mine has somehow got dampened and
turned into one huge lump when the sherbert gets wet it is going to stick like that but
there is a woman on the front cover bathing in the sherbert, she looks like some kind
of crustacean mutated from sugar, so what you do is dunk it and eat it. Definitely got damp I have a lump of sherbert
here the size of an iceberg, we are acting out titanic �iceberg right ahead� my heart
will go on, jack come back! I do not like the lolly as much or the sherbert
it is like they are trying too hard by putting too much extra flavour into something yeah
we are not reaching those levels of nostalgia we wanted to, we kind of let you down there
guys they are trying to gourmet the dip dab, it is almost like you need a serviette and
sit down with a knife and fork your dip dab sir. Next up are a good old confectionary still
popular here in the UK called maltesers what I like about them is you can do a little blow
thing which I will show you in a minute did not know it was that sort of video Barry! We have a dispensing hole like a game at a
fair, maybe it is for portion control get somebody who is really hungry and they just
end up having fruit, give it to me! Do you like these? I do it is honeycomb chocolate and very nice. Watch this, �. Did you see it, yeah let
me have a go� haha good work. My girlfriends favourite sweets are dark chocolate
maltesers but they only make them in hong kong wow that is amazing and you literally
cannot get them anywhere else, if you get them imported they merge into one big mass. Great thing about these is they are chocolate
with honeycomb and just melt in your mouth, so so good, they are very addictive, there
is a window right there and I may have to throw them out. Put on 50 stone each eating them! Curly wurly the most nostalgic shaped chocolate,
I can remember when these came out in the early eighties we got all excited because
they were a funny shape, and again they were wider, they were noticeably wider there was
more curly wurly girth which is not a phrase you will hear on any other youtube video it
is almost like a chocolate ladder, if you were barbie and needed a ladder, you would
use a curly wurly to escape! Mine is bent look at that I think it may be
the temperature in here so essentially it is like caramel covered in chocolate! It is alive! Crikey mate danger, you are alright mate,
you are alright! These are good they are still good, it is
a chewy chocolate toffee delight and in fact they made something called a chomp that was
just like this but if you took the gaps out and merged it together you effectively had
a chomp anyway but charged double the price, it was so good. You found a rubber chicken, yeah it is the
nerd chicken so for this one we have a chicken, what is this place? Soviet uniforms and rubber chickens no idea
what they are using this place for beginning to think I should have had this dry cleaned
beforehand he likes them, and that my friend is comedy. Nerds by wonka, was always exciting at school
if somebody had them, it was like having the ultimate pog, essentially sugar with slight
flavouring in them. And neon colours to be appealing to teenage
children. Ready, steady, diabetes! I think I can hear my dentist cackling, finally
I can buy that yacht. They are extremely sugary, brightly coloured,
good in there day. They also contain ingredients that may have
effect on the activity and behaviour of children. Sorry just working out with a dinosaur bone
and I am working out with Werthers Originals so good, there was quite a nostalgic advert
for that right? Old man, child on his knee, when I was young,
a strange man in a forest gave me werthers originals what was the phrase � now I am
the granddad! I put hooks in these sweets that will teach
you for ruining my lawn with your bicycles he had a flat cap right? Yes he did. Now I am the granddad that is really starting
to suit that jacket like a militant wing of last of the summer wine individually wrapped
butterscotch candy so smooth, granddad would approve. I do not remember them being this nice perhaps
the advert campaign put me off could have been yeah, granddad and his ultra knitted
jumper when I were a lad we did nothing but eat sugar and kill people we did not like
the look of eat these son I turned out alright didn�t I it did not do me any harm, stomach
out there! Lost a leg to diabetes, I can only see out
of one eye and my house is on fire, but other than that you can see why werthers stuck to
the good old granddad and flat cap. Alright then guys so we are in different attire,
just to say thankyou for watching this video, a malteser at some stage fell into my jacket
and as melted horribly blowing technique needs more work but that is a separate video all
together. Norwich city football club there, or Rick
Flair, whoooo! Anyhow then guys if you enjoyed this video
do not forget to give it a thumbs up, share subscribe and comment all that stuff, thanks
for all the love when we did the Thailand taste treat video we are doing a video now
on your channel right that is right, it will be grotesque and not so fresh again! See you next time.
Can't wait for the follow up to this that they mentioned at the end :-)
Wagon Wheels sound a lot like the Moon pies we have here in the US:

Awesome video, gentlemen! I like everything in this video bar the Werthers Originals. Although saying that, I haven't eaten a Caramac bar in years, I can't even remember what they taste like.

For the Wotsits: They used to be made by Golden Wonder, not Walkers like they are now.
