Hiya, welcome to Easy English.

So whilst we wait for our new  camera equipment to arrive,
1
2100
3120
00:05
we grabbed Isi's iPhone and came up with an idea
2
5220
2700
00:07
to show you inside our...
3
7920
1620
00:10
fridge.
4
10140
660
00:13
But before we show inside our fridge,
5
13800
1680
00:15
if you want to help support Easy English
6
15480
2160
00:17
and help us to continue making episodes,
7
17640
2160
00:19
then you can become an official  Easy English member with this link.

00:27
So before we get started, it's  worth mentioning that one:
9
27000
2940
00:29
Myself and Isi are both vegetarians,
10
29940
2280
00:32
so you're not going to see  any meaty products in here.
11
32220
2580
00:34
However, you will.
12
34800
1860
00:36
Isi's parents are currently staying with us,
13
36660
2940
00:39
so there will be some meat products in here
14
39600
1860
00:41
and there might be a slight German twist.
15
41460
2820
00:44
However, all of the products in this fridge
16
44280
1800
00:46
are still from British grocery stores.
17
46080
1980
00:48
Alright, so let's have a look in the fridge.
18
48780
2940
00:51
Let's start off in the most  boring department of the fridge,
19
51720
3120
00:54
the vegetable department.
20
54840
1380
00:56
First thing; lemons.
21
56220
1860
00:58
We have these lemons 'cos Isi  swears by lemon and ginger teas.
22
58680
3540
01:03
Lemon and ginger tea should be  prescribed by your GP, in my opinion,
23
63060
3120
01:06
because they can hold back any flu  or cold that might be incoming.
24
66180
4260
01:10
Isi swears by this stuff.
25
70440
1800
01:12
Not an eggplant, an aubergine,
26
72240
2040
01:14
touching to the French roots.
27
74280
1920
01:17
With this, we'd probably do  some like, Italian-y thing like,
28
77400
3540
01:20
chop it up, fry it, bit of  nice bread, balsamic vinegar.
29
80940
4440
01:26
A very traditional British dish.
30
86400
1800
01:28
The best pepper trio combination.
31
88200
3900
01:32
Anyone that eats green peppers is mad.
32
92100
2220
01:34
You always leave it to last,  hoping that it'll go off.
33
94320
2880
01:37
I was only 33 years old when I realised
34
97740
4560
01:42
that there are not singular red,  orange and yellow pepper plants.
35
102300
5160
01:47
That they are actually all the same pepper
36
107460
2160
01:49
at different stages of ripeness.
37
109620
2400
01:52
Did you know that?
38
112020
960
01:53
I didn't.
39
113820
840
01:54
Is it zucchini, or is it courgette?
40
114660
2640
01:57
It's courgette.
41
117900
1140
01:59
We always like to keep in  touch with our French roots.
42
119700
2640
02:02
We usually combine them with the peppers,
43
122340
1740
02:04
we make Mexican food, we make some pasta bakes,
44
124080
4860
02:08
we make some...
45
128940
1320
02:10
what do we do?
46
130260
1020
02:11
Stir fries with these things.
47
131280
1260
02:14
There's always something which you have in your...
48
134100
2160
02:16
in your fridge which you think  looks good when you buy it
49
136260
2820
02:19
and you sort of, never will eat it,
50
139080
2820
02:21
but you buy it to make yourself  feel better about your...
51
141900
3780
02:25
your diet, a ginormous bag of spinach. I dunno...
52
145680
6180
02:31
yeah, it just usually goes off  and you throw away, to be honest.
53
151860
4740
02:38
No, not really.
54
158040
780
02:38
We also add it to, you know, cream,
55
158820
2760
02:41
to make ourselves feel better
56
161580
1500
02:43
that we're eating double cream with spinach.
57
163080
3240
02:47
Yeah, it's very good.
58
167520
1020
02:48
Very versatile, isn't it?
59
168540
2220
02:50
Yeah, there's also some carrots.
60
170760
1380
02:53
We only would use them for the stir fry.
61
173040
1800
02:54
But our dog Nola loves carrots.
62
174840
2940
02:57
Bananas and carrots are her favourite things.
63
177780
6000
03:03
So we also have, in the freezer,
64
183780
2880
03:06
another bag of carrots that are frozen
65
186660
1320
03:07
and some bananas in there too.
66
187980
1560
03:09
Next up, we have avocado.
67
189540
3060
03:13
We love to have this on a weekend morning
68
193620
1920
03:15
on some toast with a poached egg or two.
69
195540
3240
03:19
I saw that there's a documentary on Netflix
70
199920
1740
03:21
which probably exposes that  we should not be buying these.
71
201660
3240
03:25
And I should probably watch  it, face up to reality.
72
205440
2760
03:28
So this might be my last ever avocado.
73
208200
2400
03:31
'Kay, done with the boring aisle.
74
211260
2400
03:34
So next up,
75
214320
1380
03:35
oh...
76
215700
660
03:36
this is a leftover from last week,
77
216360
2040
03:38
a 'Dairy Milk' 'Pot of Joy'.
78
218400
1680
03:40
'Dairy Milk' is like, probably the most
79
220920
2880
03:43
popular chocolate company in England.
80
223800
2520
03:46
It's very delicious.
81
226320
1440
03:47
And yeah, they now make pots of joy,
82
227760
3120
03:50
chocolate brownie yoghurts  or puddings or desserts,
83
230880
3060
03:53
whatever you fancy.
84
233940
1020
03:54
We have 'sweet and fruity baby plum tomatoes'.
85
234960
3000
03:57
These are pretty versatile as well.
86
237960
2100
04:00
These go on pretty much all of  our dishes, I'd say, to be honest.
87
240060
3540
04:03
Can always add it to anything can't ya, tomatoes?
88
243600
2010
04:05
So next up is one of our favourites,
89
245610
1890
04:07
because you know, we like to  cook but we're quite busy people,
90
247500
4500
04:13
you know, if you're hungover  or yeah, you've kind of,
91
253320
1800
04:15
forgotten to prepare anything,
92
255120
1320
04:16
then you can have these nice  spinach and ricotta tortellioni...
93
256440
4597
04:21
tortall...
94
261037
10
04:21
tortellion...
95
261047
13
04:21
tortellonis.
96
261060
3180
04:24
Thanks Easy Italian.
97
264240
1320
04:25
A very typical British dish again, obviously.
98
265560
2580
04:28
Yeah, these are delicious and yeah, you just...
99
268140
2640
04:30
you can have them on their own, some olive oil,
100
270780
1740
04:32
just chuck them in a pot of water, 5 minutes!
101
272520
2940
04:35
And people think you've put loads of effort in,
102
275460
2520
04:37
but really, you've just  forgotten they're coming over.
103
277980
1920
04:39
And you've resorted to the tortellonis.
104
279900
2340
04:43
Egg noodles to go into the wok,
105
283200
2160
04:45
these are absolutely amazing  and this, that goes with it.
106
285960
4980
04:50
These two ingredients with some  soy sauce and some sriracha...
107
290940
3900
04:55
nice and spicy. Yeah, that'll do.
108
295800
2640
04:58
Okay. Next up;
109
298440
1380
05:02
butter.
110
302100
600
05:03
Enough said.
111
303540
900
05:06
Let's not forget the broccoli.
112
306480
1620
05:08
Broccoli is another superfood, right?
113
308100
1920
05:10
I think.
114
310020
540
05:10
Is it?
115
310560
900
05:12
Anyone?
116
312000
660
05:12
It's another thing you can add to cream
117
312660
1740
05:14
to make yourself feel better about  eating an entire cup of cream,
118
314400
3720
05:19
with a bit of pasta is delicious.
119
319200
1860
05:23
And to go with the broccoli pasta... here we go.
120
323280
2940
05:29
Bangers.
121
329040
780
05:29
They are meat free bangers by 'Richmond'
122
329820
3480
05:33
who make real bangers, real sausages,
123
333300
2460
05:35
but they've gone into the vegetarian business.
124
335760
3300
05:39
These things are amazing and  we swear by these things.
125
339060
4140
05:44
So... they now make vegetarian,
126
344100
5580
05:49
but also vegan approved black pudding from Bury,
127
349680
4620
05:54
near Manchester.
128
354300
1440
05:56
Now, black pudding is a bit of a  controversial British ingredient,
129
356640
4140
06:00
because I think you either love or you hate it.
130
360780
2520
06:03
The real version is, I believe, made  of like, solidified pig's blood.
131
363300
4440
06:07
Maybe this is one for everyone who  doesn't really like black pudding
132
367740
3960
06:11
but likes a tasty sausage.
133
371700
1980
06:13
And you sort of, chop this up, fry it,
134
373680
2400
06:16
tomato sauce, tomato ketchup, are very delicious.
135
376080
4500
06:24
Could knock out a horse with this.
136
384420
1620
06:26
I'm struggling to find much in  the British food department.
137
386040
3180
06:30
Creme fraiche.
138
390180
540
06:30
Okay, so as I said, we have guests.
139
390720
2460
06:33
So what's the best thing you  can do when you have guests?
140
393180
2460
06:35
You can have a buffet or a picnic.
141
395640
1680
06:37
We have some 'Quorn', (which is a  vegetarian company) 'Picnic Eggs',
142
397320
3720
06:41
which... these are like miniature Scotch eggs.
143
401040
3540
06:44
And Scotch eggs are very traditional  English kind of, snack foods.
144
404580
4320
06:48
A bit... usually a bit bigger and inside is like,
145
408900
3360
06:52
a hard boiled egg and then  like, a pig's meat like,
146
412260
3960
06:56
minced meat and then covered around with like a...
147
416220
2640
06:58
you can kind of see, like a breaded layer.
148
418860
2400
07:01
And behind them,
149
421260
1020
07:03
garlic stuffed olives,
150
423060
1860
07:04
can't go wrong.
151
424920
1020
07:05
Stuffed peppers.
152
425940
1380
07:07
Oh my God.
153
427320
1140
07:08
These things are amazing.
154
428460
1860
07:10
They're like, slightly spicy.
155
430320
1560
07:11
They're supposed to be for sharing,
156
431880
1620
07:13
but I find it very hard not to eat the whole pack
157
433500
2580
07:16
when I open it, very good.
158
436080
1740
07:17
I really recommend these.
159
437820
1260
07:19
You know, as I said, we have  some guests over from Germany.
160
439080
2460
07:21
So of course we have to have all of the bread.
161
441540
4620
07:26
Cheese; gouda? Gowda? Easy Dutch, help me out.
162
446880
3780
07:30
Mature cheddar cheese.
163
450660
1020
07:31
Selection pack of French cheeses,
164
451680
2340
07:34
More cheese.
165
454020
2040
07:36
Cor! It's a right stinker.
166
456060
2280
07:38
Jesus.
167
458340
900
07:39
Oh, more cheese.
168
459240
1320
07:41
Just when you thought that  we'd finished with the cheese,
169
461880
2220
07:44
we actually have two packs of mozzarella.
170
464100
4800
07:48
Continuing the lack of British ingredients,
171
468900
3000
07:53
some Italian 'Birra Moretti' beers.
172
473160
2340
07:55
We've got some dips,
173
475500
1620
07:57
got some sweet chilli hummus, one of my faves.
174
477120
3300
08:00
Tzatziki.
175
480420
1260
08:01
Sour Cream and Chive.
176
481680
1680
08:03
Oh man, my fridge does not seem  very healthy at all, does it?
177
483360
3420
08:06
Okay and now, my favourite part  of the fridge is the condiments.
178
486780
4440
08:11
Okay, we have own brand tomato ketchup.
179
491220
4920
08:16
This is an absolute essential  of British condiments.
180
496140
3780
08:19
Brown sauce, it's like a vinegar-y  kind of ketchup, I'd say,
181
499920
5520
08:25
given the royal seal of approval by Her Majesty.
182
505440
3180
08:28
And this is a Platinum Jubilee edition,
183
508620
2940
08:32
hope that doesn't mean this is 70 years old.
184
512340
2220
08:34
Garlic and herb sauce.
185
514560
1920
08:36
Soy sauce.
186
516480
1320
08:37
This thing's great, sweet chilli dip.
187
517800
2520
08:40
Last but not least, my favourite.
188
520320
1620
08:42
Some sriracha sauce.
189
522900
1620
08:44
I absolutely love spice and so does Isi actually.
190
524520
3120
08:47
This stuff goes with absolutely  everything, from Mexican to Asian.
191
527640
3660
08:51
Brilliant.
192
531300
780
08:52
Let's finish on the door.
193
532080
1620
08:53
Basically more condiments,
194
533700
2040
08:55
wholegrain mustard.
195
535740
1200
08:57
You know, when we do like,  vegetable bakes in the oven,
196
537720
2220
09:00
it's always nice to get a bit of this and honey.
197
540600
1560
09:02
Capers for we have our pizza.
198
542160
1920
09:04
Ah!
199
544820
1000
09:05
Now the light's just gone in the fridge.
200
545820
1680
