I try LOCAL FOOD in Newcastle - It was better than expected! 

What other local food is there to try in the UK? Comment Below 😀

I love how are not pretentious about the the food you are reviewing, you don’t have to be the big I am, you judge it for what it is 👍👍👍

I have an elderly Scottish friend who loves a ham and pease pudding stottie - fabulous ❤ She has it every time she visits me. Pease pudding is normally made (in my family) with a ham /gammon joint. ❤❤

I love pease pudding. My girlfriend is a Geordie and I was once invited to her late mother's house for tea where she'd made homemade pease pudding. From what I remember she cooked a pork joint with the yellow split peas in a slow cooker where the fats and salt from the meat would then be absorbed by the peas. It was then mashed up and I've got to say that homemade pease pudding tastes so much better than any shop bought pease pudding! I try and get some every time I go up to the north east. Thanks for the video EIE!

Pease pudding, also known as pease porridge, is a savoury pudding dish made of boiled legumes, typically split yellow peas, with water, salt and spices, and often cooked with a bacon or ham joint. A common dish in the north-east of England, it is consumed to a lesser extent in the rest of Britain.

Good to have you up here mate 👍👍

Train prices are just a joke and something needs to be done about it. For all the bleating about cars' impact on the environment the government does nothing to either subside or improve rail prices so that people actually feel inclined to choose them over car. I couldn't go on a coach like that as I'd have a panic attack

luv Newcastle great city great people, great pies, China town is funny, forgot good beer, nice review

I didn't know Pease Pudding originated in Newcastle? In the 70s when I had an after school job at the local supermarket in London, an elderly lady called Lill came in every evening for a small tin of pease pudding and a quarter of black pudding for her tea. Bless. She was probably born in the 19th century and lived through WW1. I always associate pease pudding with Lill. I tried it once, not much flavour, but didn't know it was served cold in a sandwich. The stottie did look nice. And yes, train fares are ridiculously high. London next for David Beckham's favourite Pie & Mash at Manzies? On the Coach?

Danke für das Video. Sie zeigen immer Sehenswürdigkeiten und nicht nur das Übliche. Danke.Bitte passen Sie auf sich auf,es sind schwierige Zeiten.😊

Hi. My Mum always watches you. She is 83 & partially sighted & has to sit very close to her tv, but enjoys the places you visit & all the different foods you try. She always says "put my friend on" but she really wants to know your first name. We live on The Wirral x

Hello my friend, when I knew you were in Newcastle thought of the Stottie, lovely combo ham & pease pudding & a popular filling. Yes I agree it is hilly there, the rail fare is extortionate, pleased you cut the cost with a massive saving travelling by coach!! Lovely to see you as always, looking forward to watching upcoming videos. Take care 💜💜XX

Peas Pudding and Stottie Cakes are on sale in all parts of the North East England

Great review from The Toon . Bet you didn't know you've had a medieval dish .. that's how far back pease pudding goes .. pease olde english for pea,and was originally called pottage. A lot of us add a bit of English mustard to a ham and pease pudding scottie... you can also fry pease pudding and the outside goes nice and crispy , can also be used to top a pie instead of mashed potato or pastry .

Hello I live here in Newcastle, I commend your intrepidness, Newcastle is an unusual place for some, plus this is a sparsely populated area of England, I think like less than 4-5% of total population of country live up this way in NE England, underpopulated. As cities come in my opinion it punches way above its size, not a big city compared with others but we have better architecture and landmarks, we have an excellent Metro Train system, also we have pretty good parks and large open green spaces. If you come up again you would appreciate the Grainger Market. Northumberland has great food also if you can get up there, Craster Kippers are a must, and you can get excellent in high demand crab sandwiches. Thanks for promoting the City

Sandwich looked really delicious. Was the bread buttered? We used to have pease pudding out of a tin with our Sunday roast during my 1980's London childhood and I never liked it. But I like most of what I hated then so I really must give pease pudding a grown-up try!! Incidentally, I'm glad you didn't give us a National Express toilet review as in my experience using one is like trying to wee in an earthquake 😰😰

There is another sandwich which is abit old school in Newcastle called the savaloy dip. Next time you come up, try it!

That looked interesting Until next time take care 🤗🍀

We've a few local foods in Scotland, such as Lorne sausage, white pudding, Cullen skink and tablet. I live in Glasgow but these foods are available throughout Scotland but possibly too far for a day trip. I've been following for a while but my first comment. I enjoy your laid-back approach. Train prices are insane unless you can book ahead with a railcard. Please keep doing what you're doing I enjoy each and every video. I've visited Newcastle a few times and always buy some Pease Pudding from Grainger Market but wasn't aware of the Stottie. I'm originally from London and regularly had Pease Pudding at teatime growing up in the 60's and no Northern/North Eastern roots as far as I'm aware

🎵🎵🎵🎶 Sittin' in a sleazy snack bar sucking, Sickly sausage rolls. Slippin' down slowly, slippin' down sideways, Think I'll sign off the dole. … 'Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine. The fog on the Tyne is all mine. The fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine. The fog on the Tyne is all mine. … Could a copper catch a crooked copper maker, could a copper comprehend. That a crooked copper maker's, Just an undertaker, A one it takes to be your friend. … 'Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine. The fog on the Tyne is all mine.

Deffo better off on the couch, rob dogs them trains. Great vid, love Newcastle lovely people..

Crusty bun , Wiltshire ham , peas pudding, Coleman’s mustard ..walkers crisps ..my absolute go to bait for a 40 yr work life at Rownrtree Macintosh..one of the finest employers this country has ever had ! …( that was until the Swiss megalomaniacs came )…

Made think about old nursery poem, peas pudding hot peas pudding cold, that's good for a old lady!

I would love to see a q&a where we get to learn more about you and what made you start RU-vid 😊❤

Coming from Newcastle I know all about “ Ham and peas pudding stottie” bloody scrumptious chap. I love peas pudding 👌👌😋😋

Here's what my American friends say about trains in the UK: "They're so inexpensive and reliable!" As Albert said, "Everything is relative."

Its called pea dhall here in sunny Ethekweni KZN RSA,home of the Durban Bunny Chow.

Trains in this country are a complete rip off. If you are travelling any distance at all it's nearly always cheaper on coach or indeed to fly !

Hello, interesting food trip, I never heard or read about this sandwich before.... Probably typical of Newcastle.... Greetings from Italy 😉

The Return of The Coach Ticket sounds like a film title 😅

I love Newcastle

Newcastle castle, that was just the castle keep, the actual castle was a lot bigger there are still parts of the castle wall around Newcastle.

Much better value on the coach, even with the extra travelling time.

Ham n peas pudding stottie, the king of sarnies 😋

As a Geordie I must be one of a rare breed that doesn't like peas pudding. I love other sandwiches in a stottie though

You really did walk afew miles for that, you ended up in shieldfield. Not the best area. Could have got one in newcastle city centre and yeah you dont have just pease pudding here it always comes with ham. Glad you enjoyed it

Hi from sunny Los Angeles🙋‍♀️ Looked like a tasty sandwich. Being an American though, that sandwich looked under-filled. 😂

I was looking to go to Manchester from London by train for a day for September, couldn't believe the prices, absolutely absurd, so be travelling by coach

Had to click on this newcastle is an amazing city

Cheers for the video, enjoyed that, the ham peas stottie looked tasty, I'd definitely order that that and I'd enjoy it, does look filling for that piece. Look forward to your next adventure man

We used to have a large coach station but it got demolished. It was opposite St. James’ Park and Newcastle Breweries.

A quite substantial and delicious looking sandwich! 👍😊 I'm looking forward to being surprised by your next food journey. 👍

Devon/Cornwall for the best cream tea. Bit of a train journey from Leeds though.

Geordie Pease pudding is far better than the tin variety you can get. Two big Pease pudding producers in the area Durham foods of Durham and Dicksons of South Shields i prefer the Durham one myself I know they supply Aldi and Lidl so look for it next time your there

That sandwich looked amazing! So fresh and tasty and filling.

Suggestion for a future challenge. Fly to Cologne-Bonn airport from Manchester then a 20 minute train ride into Cologne (€3.60). It's a 5 minute walk from the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof) across the front of the Cathedral and then take a left to Fruh am Dom which is a traditional Brauhaus where you can try their pork knuckle (Schweinehaxe). You won't be disappointed.

Train prices are a bloody liberty. Well done for making savings. Coach journeys can be nice and relaxing,especially if it's a nice day. I can't comment on the food because I don't eat any of the items,and I'm allergic to peas. Glad you enjoyed it, though.

Big River ham and pease pudding stotty is as good as you get. Rivals Greggs of Gosforth from the 70/80s

So that's what peas pudding is. Now I know what the song means. Thanks for the upload. Bread looks great.

Hello 👋 EIE That looked like a mighty fine sandwich 🥪 thanks for sharing your day 😊

When I was a kid in the eighties living in Sunderland we ate tongue and pease pudding stotties. Yes tongue, works better than ham. Yumm 😂

perfect sandwich on a hot day ❤

When I was in Newcastle it was peas pudding and saveloy,that peas pudding isn't half heavy 😂

You could tell it was a freshly made good video glad you enjoyed how about Cornwall for some proper corniche pasties mind you ,, you would have to set off really early something to think about !!!!

Wow what a difference between how you travelled vs the train fair, a nice videp.

I would imagine more people use Megabus or Flixbus because they are more centrally located in Newcastle, certainly closer to The Big River Bakery.

Welcome to gods country my man, hope you enjoy your stay here! Get out and about and chat to people, we are a very friendly bunch up here 👌

I live in Durham getvpease pudding all the time a full stottie lasts me four days a bottle of pop and a piece of fruit perfect packed lunch

Ham peas pudding with a good dollop of English mustard is the best, still a great review mate, keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Shud have went to grainger Market newcastle upon Tyne for a savaloy dip big soft bun savaloys, stuffing, peas pudding, colemans or american mustard dipped in beef dripping gravy 😋

Hi friend,that sandwich looks well nice 😊I would have had one twice the size lol😊

Totaly agree with your entire day out.Train Prices are simply too expensive. 1 year ago i was near the Newcastle Bridge but never tried your lunch. It was superb almost 'incredable value' how many food reviewers if ever review a £3 lunch? Such a great day out in superb weather😅

That sandwich looked really good.👍 I need to try one myself.🙂

A bottle of Brown Ale would have finished that off nicely

The wingers are out today. Wow. 😂. Aussie Bob ❤

I make a real good split pea with ham soup, here in the US. It's thick and hearty. I could thicken it further and it would be like a stottie for sure...just split some ciabatta bread and that would do it. It sounds great. I'd try making it with yellow peas!

National express has always been much better value compare to rail. Great video, is that a new camera?

The train prices are ridiculous in this country. I'm in W. Yorks and never heard of peas pudding or stottie but will definitely try if I get to Newcastle. Looks like it would fill you for hours.

Great video I live in Whitley Bay (just 10 miles from Newcastle) and doi like a pease pudding and ham sandwich, although haven't had one for a while .. must try again soon. i thought you were going to mention a very cheap bus ticket, but I don't think £23 is that good. I've just looked up train fares, advanced tickets from Leeds to Newcastle for next week (as an example) and return train fares were priced at £25 - £43

Thanks man. I’m hungry again. Aussie Bob 😊

An idea ... review the precursor to UK fast food joints.. The Wimpy!

Take it to another level by having a cup of tea with it, best sarnie going.

I remember up in Stockton having to queue up for a hot roast pork and pease pudding stottie, it was lush. Also something to try around the boro area is the local saveloys, savoury ducks which are actually similar to those Mr Brains west country meatballs but far better and of course the locally made pease pudding. Cheers

You should travel to Whitby or Scarborough for fish and chips on the Coastliner Bus it’s only £2 each way !!

Pease pudding hot Pease pudding cold Pease pudding in the pot Nine days old Tate’s fish and chips, Boston Lincolnshire 😊

You work hard so we don’t have to finding these places👍🇬🇧

Another great food adventure.

From the north east but I can’t remember ever eating one. Parmo is another item well worth eating.

I learnt years ago that Yorkshire folks are frightened of tryin Pease pudding .

Thankyou it looked different . take care

Very nice I could almost taste the stottie ,although I had pickle in my illusion .

hmm never tried a stottie, looks yum though.

Another entertaining video keep up the great work mate could you maybe do a couple of £50 challenges I think they would do really well with all your new subs

Yet you stood on another iconic bridge the swing bridge classed as the first swing bridge and the oldest in existence that still operates although these days not very often

You're just missing the best butter and English mustard to make it spot on! 👍

Try a Savaloy dip ,the king of sandwickes .

Staffordshire oat cakes! 😊

Pease Pudding and ham used to be a standard meal.

Should have put pepper and colmans mustard on the stottie

❤

I think it was a bit of a trek to go and have a sandwich which looked pretty average to me, however, the cost of the train return £65 was a total ripoff and disgrace. How can you justify that cost ? The quality and expense of travelling by train is embarrassing considering other countries. What must tourists think? No wonder most people have their own car otherwise we would use public transport more. But thanks for the video anyway.

We thought you were going for a chicken parmo, which is delicious 😋

Three hours?...enough time for ten pints and a stottie cake, geordie breakfast of champions.😁

14:16 what is up with the state of that road?!?!

Bury Black Pudding. Bakewell Tart.

That shop is in Shieldfield

The coach station at Newcastle is ran by the council, who don't look to care about the station. And about the fares if you book in advance, and buy a non refundable ticket it would probably be the same, if you used flixbus it would have been cheaper, and you certainly missed a foodies treat by not going to the Grainger market. And actually after a complaint to Nat Ex I got a compensation for my complaint on how dirty it was and there were no facilities , and how it's not a very good first impression of Newcastle.

Melton Mowbray for a pork pie

The train ticket would have been much less if you’d been able to book a month in advance.

I thought this was Newcastle in Australia initially….
