Americans Try UK Cheese || Foreign Food Friday 

I enjoyed this video. Shame you let the crumpets cool. You really need to toast crumpets until they are golden and put the butter on and eat while still piping hit. The butter drips down into the inside of the crumpet, which makes it messy, but it does make it delicious. Clotted cream is one of those things that tastes nothing in particular by itself, but it really enhances the flavour of so many other things. If you can get freshly baked scones even better (though I would be inclined to eat the two halves separately rather than together - better ratio of jam, cream scone). You could also the butter on the scone instead of jam and cream - that works as well. The Guinness Cheese though just looked weird and your faces said it all. Glad you enjoyed the rest though

You need to toast the crumpets til they are crispy.

Do you know what the best thing about English cheese is? It doesn't come in a can you squirt it out of. Mature English Cheddar FTW!

The crumpets should be freshly toasted so that the butter melts into them, also, ideally they should be slightly crispy on top.

Leicester is pronounced “Lester” 👍🏼

Good to see you liked the Colliers, my all-time favourite supermarket cheese. Crumpets have to be toasted until the top is just going hard and a little brown then buttered when hot, the butter melts and soaks down into all those spongy holes, its winter warmer heaven. Red Leicester cheese is particularly good cooked, great in a grilled cheese sandwich. You need to get some Branston Pickle (which is not related in any way to what American’s call pickles) then you can have a proper cheese and pickle sandwich.

The perfect scone for me would be a thinnish layer of jam and a big dollop of cream and I would never put the lid on them 😱 😋

You need to try The King of Cheeses Stilton even the French are jealous of this one.

Living in Cornwall, it's against the law to put cream first then jam, the argument is that the scone is warm so the clotted cream would melt. The UK has more types of cheese than the french, a incredibly useful piece of information! Muffins and crumpets, the difference is that muffins are a bread dough that you bake whilst the crumpets bread dough is more of a batter mix that you cook in a pan using a crumpets ring. They are easy to cook but no one does it as they are cheap and easy to buy here. Great video, Stilton is a must, there is also a soft cheese called stinking bishop that's popular, smelly name, smelly cheese😄

HEY GUYS those crumpets looked nearly raw. you toast them untill golden brown and butter whilst hot (as the melted butter is supposed to drip down the holes making them buttery all the way through)

Yo! Some good traditional cheese there. The Red Leicester (pronounced 'Lester', btw) should be just very slightly dry and have a barely detectable sweetness in the aftertaste. The Cheddars you picked are mature ones that should have a strong, creamy/nutty taste and firm texture, though there are milder ones as well. In fact Cheddar comes in a huge variety and may be thought of as the standard British cheese. For variety, I'd have liked to see you tackle a Blue Stilton. A tip with the crumpets.... butter and eat straight from the grill while they're still hot. Oh, and when toasting 'em, don't stop until the outside is hard/crisp and going brown.

Crumpets were originally made to be toasted Infront of an open fire using a toasting fork so you could have a hot snack without using the kitchen in the days when ovens used solid fuel and couldn't just be turned on. Hence they are best cooked under a preheated grill rather than in a toaster. Really all they need on them is a knob of butter and eat straightaway.

Just found this channel, made a wet and miserable day in England a bit happier, made me fall a little bit more in love with our American cousins. thank you God bless.

If you have marmite you might like to try it spread thinly with grated mature cheddar and enjoy! With the Guinness cheese break it up and add to beef stew or gravy delicious.

Love your commitment to family. Nice to see parents exposing their children to what the world has to offer instead of closing down their point of view.

Where on earth is Lie-casterr? :-)) If you get crumpets again you need to toast them until they are at least slightly crunchy and butter them hot so it melts into the holes

Most people I believe, halve the scones as you did and then spread the cream and jam on each half and eat them separately, this increases the jam and cream / scone ratio and makes it even tastier! Excellent vid as usual.

British cheese is very different from American cheese because of the way the milk is treated. US milk is UHT treated, ours is pasturised so you cant make cheese the way we do here. US milk is banned in Europe and Britain. Clotted cream is double cream thst is scalded and.left to form a thick crust, thats the clotted part, its used mainly for cream tea here in Cornwall, cream first then jam. Crumpets and muffins are completely different things and Leicester is pronounced Lester. Entertaining video shame you didnt get a better mix of cheeses, never heard of any of those brands. 💖

To our French cousins: You say you make hundreds of different cheeses. Keep trying, lads, you'll discover Cheddar one day!

Thanks for giving the pet rat a new home! :)

You can toast the crumpet under a grill, spread a little butter on it (optional), put some cheese on it and put it back under the grill until the cheese melts. If you finely grate the cheese it melts into the holes of the Crumpet. Sit back with a mug of English Breakfast tea and enjoy!

Why just cheddars? There are a fantastic range of cheeses in the UK, blue cheeses especially. Try Stilton, Dovedale blue, Wensleydale, Cheshire and Blue Leicester. There are hundreds of British cheeses!

You know you've spent too long around kids when you can instantly recognise that 'nonono!' when your wife held up the butter packet. I guess little guy wouldnt eat it if he knew it was from goats? great video lol

The Crumpet is the king of the B.D.S That is Butter Delivert System. But they need to be buttered while hot do the butter soaks down into the holes allowing the most butter per square inch possible.

Everytime i watch a somebody tries british food im screaming at my screen , NOOO THOSE CRUMPETS NEED TO BE TOASTED!!!!

Gratz to Cordelia for joining such a nice family hehe. Jamie you actually joined in and tried a lot of the cheese, quite the young man. Thanks for the fun! CU next time.

we in the uk have hundreds of cheese. i love all uk cheese glad you like them.

Your kids are fabulous, love that they are not afraid of trying new foods Shows you are doing a great job of bringing up your children.

Not well known brands in the UK. There's a large number of local makers producing a wide diversity of tastes and novelty flavours and they are usually all pretty good. The big brands stick to more well known types and are good for people that like consistency. There's not enough time in life to thoroughly try them all. Goats milk cheese is usually pretty good but too rich to have much of.

Dude your kids are so smart for there age i love it , the next generation will do things we couldnt imagine!!

Cream & Jam scones served with tea is called and advertised as a 'Cream Tea'. A popular between meal treat in cafes in the summer. Historical treat that goes back to the Victorian period.

The best cheddar comes from the town of Cheddar, there is a cave system there that was used to store and mature the cheese and the caves are still used today in the production of proper cheddar cheese. Also the gorge and cave system at Cheddar are fantastic to explore and walk around. A great day out for sure.

Crumpets and what you would call "English" muffins are absolutely NOT the same. Great video.

Rats are great pets, I've had a dozen or so over the years. They're social animals so it's better to have two or three, that way they can keep themselves company when there's no humans to play with.

Greetings from England. Crumpets must be piping hot so the butter melts and runs down your fingers!

The crumpets really need to be toasted until crispy golden brown and buttered while still hot. The hot butter runs down the holes into the soft interior. Delicious! (I wholeheartedly recommend Warburtons brand) 😎🤘I do need to warn you that they are as addictive as Jaffa cakes, Tea cakes and cream(/jam) scones though. On the cheese front, I recommend crumbly Lancashire and Wensleydale with apricots. Yum!

Leicester or leicestershire is pronounced lester or lester'sher, i love a real vintage or 24 month cave matured true cheddar from chedder in Somerset, the original cheddar. I also love an applewood smoked cheddar with red grapes and crackers and home grown sweet 100s tomatoes.

clotted cream goes great with mince pies

Guys try Welsh rarebit which is a bowl of grated cheese with a teaspoon of vinegar and a teaspoon of mustard with a sprinkle of black ground pepper and use a for to mix gently together, Toast bread then wait till it cools and crisps slightly and make sure the grill is hot then put mixture on the toast and put under the grill, then for some reasons it causes nightmares. It's awesome.

Oh our family would love doing a cheese unboxing and tasting. Yes. Thanks for the fun

Thank you for listening to my request. I means a lot to me.

Cheshire cheese 🧀 is my favourite, especially on Staffordshire Oatcakes & On toast

Proud of our great cheeses. Thanks for the vid

Crumpets stick them in the toaster, or grill them like toast. Then when hot put your butter on them. And the butter melts into the tiny holes. We have a cup of tea with crumpets. You could put jam ( jelly ) on them too. Also, you need to try the blue cheeses, Stilton, and others. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍💚

The crumpets are like rubber. I cook them in a toaster till they almost start to burn. When they go hard and brownish they are much better. Then I put tons of butter on them and it melts right thru. Love the videos guys. Keep up the good work.

American "biscuits" (actually a misnomer) are salted scones,not the other way round! Real biscuits are actually crispy cookies. The term "biscuit' means cooked twice,which scones,salty or sweet, are not. The term "biscuit"comes from the French "bis" meaning again or secondary. "Cuit" is the past tense of "to cook". "Biscotti" is the Italian version.

Toast your crumpet then butter & add some strong cheddar and stick under grill till it melts = amazing. I sprinkle garlic powder or spread some marmite on top for added amazingness 😁

It’s so funny watching Americans make such a big event but enjoy just eating our every day stuff. You sounded so cute but it’s pronounced Lester. And just in case you come across it in future, Worcestershire sauce is pronounced Woster 😄

Clotted cream is delicious on apple pie. Also in parts of the uk we say, apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.

Leicester is pronounced Lester. I'd say try my favourite, Cheshire cheese, but even I have trouble getting it about 40 miles from Cheshire. I always have pickled onions with it too. My belly is rumbling now.

When you have scones have them fresh and warm from the oven, then jam first with whipped thick double cream on top (the jam helps to stop the cream melting) then put the top on, serve with proper English tea.

I like clotted cream on fresh strawberries and on sticky toffee pudding. I take my scones with butter, then jam followed by the clotted cream. Depending whether your from Devon or Cornwall will usually change the order of the jam and cream on the scone. I Love cheese scones with a ham salad, as you like cheeses I think you too would like them. Love how your kids were willing to try the different foods 😊

Trouble with that jar of cream is, you can't get a gert dollop out!

Cheddar cheese is great on a burger with fried onions. And it's pronounced Lester-shere. Great video.

I love how your kids really appreciate these funky flavourful cheeses

Such a great family!!!

Lancashire cheese is my favourite. I think you would love Lincolnshire Poacher it is a beautiful cheese also you might like a cheese called stinking bishop which is a washed rind cheese soaked in a juice made from a smelly pear called stinking bishop. English muffins in the uk have NO holes. It is more of a bun.

The fox brand is pronounced “lester” it’s a county in the English Midlands

Great video, yes crumpets much better while hot so the butter melts into the holes, and I agree the clotted cream is subtle but with the jam it really works, by the way I love cherry cream tea as much as the traditional strawberry

Just a tip for clotted cream it should be cold and to bring out its true flavour before you spread it on it needs a 5 second whipping it will stiffen up almost straight away then spread it! yummy..

Red Lessterr is how its pronounced. I love Wensleydale and Caerphilly cheeses too. We produce hundreds of types. You should try and get a few more i think the problem is a lot of British cheeses are unpasteurized and the US food authorities tend to seize them. Definitely try wensleydale if you can though.

What a sweet family . Jay in the UK can I apologise for the bossy people telling you what to do ....I'm pretty sure you know what to do with cheese lol....Guinness cheese is a gimmick so I apologise for that lol.

Colliers cheese is beautiful . It is a local product for me being based in Wales. Colliers also has the calcium salt crystals which seem to develop more after a few days. Because it is local, its also very cheap.

Its great to see our cousins across the pond now have access to our fine cheeses. When I worked and lived in Florida many years ago the cheeses were awful, burger cheese, cheese in an aerosol can and a bit of import edam was about you lot twenty years ago. Hopefully your taste buds have been suitably stimulated to dive deeper into the world of English cheeses, probably some of the best in the world.

Clotted cream on sticky toffee pudding mmmmmmm

The Leicester one is pronounced Lester

Brilliant family, than you for trying our cheeses! I’m glad you liked them. It’s also a shame you wasn’t sent the muffins from a bakery. Far better than those that come in the packs (even though they are still lovely 😁)

I used to have clotted cream in vanilla ice cream. It would solidify, and you would end up with small chunks in your mouth which melted slowly, giving a really rich creamy flavour. Also, as I saw someone else comment, you do not make a sandwich out of scones. You cut them in half, and than put the cream and jam on both halves and eat them separately.

Awww she is a super cute rat and a cool name

Want to try a great but SO smelly cheese from my part of England try Stinking Bishop - its gorgeous but the smell...i had some in my bag on way home on bus and had to expl ain the smell to the other pe ople because i was getting some very weird looks 😱

Great video. Glad you enjoyed some classic British cheeses.

Savoury cheese scones with butter are delicious too especially if you add a pinch of English mustard powder when you add the cheese that is delicious.

You think these cheeses stink? You should try Stinking Bishop. It's a creamy cheese and is well named.

Clotted cream is basically cream that has been cooked, home made stuff does take 2 days to make but tastes amazing. We have three main scones, plain, fruit and cheese and (surprise surprise) cheese is my favourite mmmmmm. English muffins and crumpets are nothing alike :P the muffins tend to be more bread like in texture where as the crumpets as you might of noticed are almost rubbery in texture and the best way imo to eat a crumpet is toasted with a large knob of butter on it and thats it mmmmmmmmm. Don't get me started on cheese as I am a cheese addict and it would be quicker to list the cheese I don't like rather than the ones I do lol. If you do make a mac cheese with the cheddar please do it the full on white sauce method, trust me it will be worth the effort (and is the only way I ever make it lol) . I definitely agree with Jess as to the crystals in cheese, I do love a good sharp cheddar which tends to have more of the crystallised bits in it. Can you tell I loved the video though as you woke my effusive diatribe about cheese lol.

Great video. Yes, crumpets need to be eaten straight from the toaster with lashings of butter...cracking! Cheers all!

Crumpets need to be sprinkled with some granulated sugar and buttered when warm 🌈and warm your scones for a few seconds in the microwave and dollop the clotted cream on next time & try some hot cross buns toasted with butter on to 🍀

The way to pronounce Leicester is Lester yeah I know but that's how you say it !

Never heard of any of those brands.

Thanks for trying these cheeses, I'm from England and haven't heard of a lot of these which is quite surprising as my dad loves cheese. I personally love mature cheddar but was recently told I am intolerant to cows milk so not allowed to have cows milk products for 3 months then introduce them up to once every 4 days (along with wheat a yeast which makes life interesting). For scones I put jam on first then cream and eat the top and bottom separate from each other so get more jam and cream (Or I used to)

A crumpet should be served hot so the butter melts through the holes they taste so much better hot and a traditional scone would be buttered then jam and then cream but through time people stopped buttering their scones, suppose thats why they use clotted cream. clotted cream is normally only used in cakes and with fruits.

Cheese should always be "Extra mature" at home we call it "Rat Trap"

Leicester is pronounced Lester. And Knutsford is pronounced Nutsford. :)

Great video, just one tip for next time you eat Scones, you never cut them with a knife, you prise them open with a fork, they kind of have a natural split already in them and you just slide the fork in and twist it which makes the crumpet break into two, the fresher they are the easier they break and you should try baking your own as they're super easy to make, the trick is handling the dough as little as possible then letting them cool slightly but eat while still a little warm from the oven, they're heavenly freshly made, so delicious!

Goats butter and crumpets are perfect together but make sure the crumpets are toasted crispy and the butter spread whilst they are hot. Nice video.

Leicester is pronounced "Lester"

It’s said lester but spelt Leicester.

And I was walking my dogs through Delemere forest the week before Xmas. Lovely place. 45mins from my house. Your ment to cook the crumpet in the toaster. Then let the butter melt in to a slightly crisp crumpet.

I'm cream and then jam it's so good with a big mug of tea (what you'd call English breakfast tea) with a splash of milk in it great.

Scottish and Irish cheddar 😂 (fraudsters).the south west of England make the best dairy products.serve yr scones cut in half . Yr son loved the real cheddar :)

Leicester pronounced Lester

I'm from Wales. So the Welsh cheese I buy regular. It's my fav. I like a basic strong cheddar.

I miss my Rat he was called Hobbs. Nice animals, they bond with you very quickly.

Leicester is pronounced Lester.

You guys ought to have glasses of water to clean the palate between tastings of different produce. Otherwise you’re cross-contaminating tastes.

Stilton cheese is a strong blue cheese which is nice and creamy Lancashire cheese from my home county is great on a sandwich with Branston pickle or Piccalilli.

Hi guys, Leicester is pronounced lesster, the butter is made in knutsford pronounced Nutsford the K is slient, the crumpets should be hot so the butter melts into the crumpet! mmmmm, we have some really great cheese’s here in the UK, love your videos 👍👍

Leicester (pronounced) = "Lester"

Did you mean Leicestershire cheese? It is pronounced lestershr cheese.

You Guys are making me hungry, love cheddars ,crumpets and scones with butter
