Urara. Hi Tom. Hello Urara. So Urara has come to London and we're having a picnic in central
1
22070
7720
00:29
London and she is very bravely agreed to try some British snacks. So I have a few British
2
29790
7490
00:37
snacks that I'd like her to try and hopefully she'll like them. I hate it! Yeah, maybe!
3
37280
8120
00:45
We'll see!
4
45560
1140
00:54
Ok, we're starting with the first British snack which is a Cornish Pasty. Now a Cornish
5
54120
6860
01:00
Pasty, it's like a pie. Yeah? Is this a meat pie? A meat pie, yeah. It's a meat pie and
6
60980
6520
01:07
it's got potato in as well and some vegetables. And it's put in a sort of puff pastry. And
7
67500
8510
01:16
traditionally it's from Cornwall which is an area of England and it was traditionally
8
76010
4630
01:20
for workers. So they'd put their meal in this pie and they'd take it off to work. And I
9
80640
6581
01:27
guess we've continued to eat them as a snack now. So it's maybe not a main meal but it's
10
87221
4529
01:31
a snack. If you are feeling hungry. So it's a savoury flavour and hopefully a delicious
11
91750
5170
01:36
one.
12
96920
1000
01:37
Ok, alright? Usually they are hot. We don't have an oven in the park so we're just going
13
97920
5730
01:43
to have it cold. Basically this is a meat pie, right? Essentially this is a meat pie,
14
103650
5630
01:49
yeah. You are absolutely right. Let's try it. Do I have to eat all? No? No, you can
15
109280
8500
01:57
eat as much or as little as you want. Ok, I'll try it. Meat pie! Meat pie, it's a meat
16
117780
13520
02:11
pie, isn't it? Is it a good meat pie? Good meat pie! Yeah? Fantastic, yeah there's a
17
131300
13180
02:24
lot of pastry. Pastry and the taste is black pepper. Yeah. Very strong black pepper. Yeah,
18
144480
6930
02:31
I guess an adjective we could use is like 'peppery', very peppery. Peppery? Yeah peppery.
19
151410
4520
02:35
It's really filling so like it's really good if you are going like for a walk or something
20
155930
4830
02:40
like that you can take one of these and yeah you won't feel hungry. Yeah, that's good!
21
160760
5589
02:46
Alright, yes!
22
166349
1230
02:47
Ok, next one is a scotch egg. A scotch egg. Again it's a bit like the Cornish Pasty, it's
23
167579
8101
02:55
like picnic food. We have it for picnics and what we have is like a hard boiled egg, then
24
175680
5479
03:01
we have meat around it and then it's fried. So you have breadcrumbs around it. And yeah
25
181159
6470
03:07
it's a snack, it's like a really common snack. And there is an egg inside? There's an egg
26
187629
3911
03:11
inside yeah. Do you like eggs? Yes, I like. Ok, we're ok. Do we need an oven? Yeah, again.
27
191540
9089
03:20
Again! Yeah, we don't have an oven. Ok. We'd probably heat it up but you can have it cold
28
200629
5980
03:26
as well. It's totally normal. Wow! There is a whole egg. There is a whole egg. Like this.
29
206609
12071
03:38
Yeah. There is a whole egg in there. Is that strange? Yeah, it's really strange. It's like
30
218680
8419
03:47
it's hiding, right? OK, I'll try it, I'm hungry. It
31
227099
15060
04:02
seems like she likes it. Let's see. Almost all egg. Yeah, and then you've got the meat
32
242159
7851
04:10
around it and then the breadcrumbs. Oh, is that the meat? Yeah, so that's the meat and
33
250010
5729
04:15
then yeah the breadcrumbs and then it's fried. Yeah, it's ok? Yeah it's good. Again, savoury
34
255739
7691
04:23
right? It's a savoury snack. Savoury snack and the one is enough for me. Yeah, definitely.
35
263430
5139
04:28
I don't think you need more than one.
36
268569
2361
04:30
Alright, I'm excited about this one, this one is the big one. Urara is going to try
37
270930
4550
04:35
Marmite! Marmite! It's not marmalade? Not marmalade, no. Marmalade is like a jam, Marmite,
38
275480
15450
04:50
this is yeast extract. It's kind of a chocolate. No, it's not like chocolate. It's not like
39
290930
7620
04:58
anything. It's not chocolate taste? No, it looks like chocolate, right? Or sauce? Yeah,
40
298550
5200
05:03
it's a spread. We call it a spread. So it's something you put on bread, toast or something
41
303750
5780
05:09
like that. It's like nothing you've ever tried before. Do you like it? Ok, so. You don't
42
309530
7830
05:17
like it but you recommend it for me? Yeah, a little bit. Oh my god! I'm sorry. Because
43
317360
4270
05:21
you have to try it, it's so British. so in the advertising they say you either love it
44
321630
5840
05:27
or you hate it. It's like there's no one in between. No one is like 'It's ok' its like
45
327470
6129
05:33
you either love it or. And you hate it right? Kind of hate it. I'm trying to love it, I'm
46
333599
6971
05:40
trying to teach myself to love it but no it's. And is it good for health? Yeah, it's good
47
340570
5740
05:46
for health. And then I will try it. It's good for health yeah yeah. So I'm going to put
48
346310
6083
05:52
it on some, a little bit of bread. I guess this, it tastes sour. Ok, sour? Ok, good guess.
49
352393
11736
06:04
But definitely not chocolate. Wow! Ok, so I'm going to put it on a little bit of bread
50
364129
4521
06:08
for you. And a drop, no? I'm going to give you. Looks sweet but I think it tastes sour.
51
368650
10790
06:19
There you go that's yours. And you also try it, now you should. Oh my god! No smell! There
52
379440
7760
06:27
is a smell. How do you say what's this? Like a sauce. You have to eat the whole thing.
53
387200
10250
06:37
Eat the whole thing. I don't like this, what's this? You don't like it? Yeah, but the taste
54
397450
18939
06:56
is like soy bean, soy sauce! Soy sauce, ok yeah, ok a little bit like soy sauce. But
55
416389
6571
07:02
you didn't try, come on! You only tried a little bit, come on you have to have that.
56
422960
4000
07:06
You mean with the bread? I think with the bread, yeah that would change. Change! Are
57
426960
10130
07:17
you sure? I don't think so. Ok, alright. You did well, you did really well. I hate it!
58
437090
12699
07:29
Really? Is it that bad? I don't like it. No. Alright, I'll finish it off. It's horrible.
59
449789
15460
07:45
Yeah i need some water to clear it. Yes, I think so. Oh my God!
60
465249
4031
07:49
Alright, so to finish off we've gone with, this is a childhood favourite of mine. So
61
469280
4900
07:54
at every children's party you would always have Jammie Dodgers. They are just sugar,
62
474180
9039
08:03
it's sweet, it's got little bits of jam in the middle, you can't not like this. This
63
483219
4562
08:07
is my childhood. I'm sure I will love it. Yeah, I'm sure you will. And to help you I
64
487781
7180
08:14
will also try one as well. I have to, you know, just to help you, not because I love
65
494961
5328
08:20
them. Oh you love it? I love them. Yes? Me too! I hope so. Alright, you go first. Yes.
66
500289
12730
08:33
Yummy! Yummy? Definitely. Yes, I love this. Yeah, so it's short cake biscuit with raspberry
67
513019
11111
08:44
jam in the middle in the shape of a little heart. And yeah as I say, as kids you have
68
524130
8340
08:52
it at every birthday party. You'll always have jammie dodgers. But do you have a lot
69
532470
7800
09:00
of kinds of jams or only this jam? I think you can get other ones but, I think so, but
70
540270
5950
09:06
this is the classic one. This is like the one I remember as a child is raspberry jam.
71
546220
5460
09:11
Maybe we could put Marmite in there. No! Please! I don't like that. Alright Urara, you've been
72
551680
7890
09:19
super brave. You've tried four different British snacks. Which was your favourite? Honestly,
73
559570
7819
09:27
today's my favourite is this one the dodgers. The jammie dodgers. But if I have an oven
74
567389
9390
09:36
I think I like the scotch egg and the pie as well. Ok, so if I had heated those up you
75
576779
5341
09:42
would have liked those. Yeah but I'll never think about that again. The Marmite. But you
76
582120
4760
09:46
can tell your friend Ive tried Marmite. There's this crazy foo in Britain called Marmite.
77
586880
6390
09:53
And it's really brave, right? Yeah, extremely brave to try Marmite. Especially once you
78
593270
5210
09:58
smelled it and you are like 'oh my Lord, what is this?' Anyway thank you very much for trying
