I think that is what makes them a great team. If they were both excitable and just let loose then it wouldn't be as good as having the balance. It's the ying/Yang! 😂😂❤❤
@@davidz2690other European countries maybe. Every other continent flows with spices other than the EU lmao. Except maybe Canada, but Canada doesn’t really have its own style of food.
That vinegar spray is actually what I've been missing all my life, without realising. You want the vinegar, but you don't want your entire batch of chips to go all soggy. So simple it surprises you no one thought of it before. Which is the hallmark of genius, I suppose.
Yeah, real people who will let their faces show you the joy they're experiencing at the food you've crafted. Instead of some pretentious rubbish that some snobs dribble out, thinking they must seem smart
But yeah but they need to temper their reactions. I've seen them react exactly the same way after reading taco bell and Popeyes. So you can't really tell if this is good or not. Not really compliments to the chef if the chef at Taco Bell got the same reaction.
Yet people still say that British food is terrible! This is a great example to show them. Beautiful food in a beautiful historic pub, it doesn’t get any better that that.
I really enjoy how they share the food with Duckie and Aiden, how perfectly Ollie describes every food in a matter-of-fact but metaphorical way, and how Josh savors every morsel of his food. More of this please!
You two are brilliant! I discovered you because of Ellen, I work at the fat duck and it was soooo lovely to see you two appreciating and loving the food ❤ this is why we-chefs are doing it! For that kind of enjoyment ❤
You two are adorable! Almost 100% of the time, when trying the food initially, and it’s good, Josh closes his eyes and falls back in his chair, and Ollie looks at the ceiling. Love you two!❤️🇺🇸
You two young men bring so much laughter out of this 52 year old American Mom. These videos are brilliant, comedic genius. What sweet souls. The food looks delicious as well. It’s always a wonderful journey.
Long standing joke about Brits and their cooking. Heard it way back in the 80s as a kid from my great aunt who came home (to the US) from France with my great uncle after WW2
@@SilvaDreams It’s an over used phrase. And WW2 was hardly a good measure of British food. Our tradition is more for herbs than out and out spice, they don’t use a lot of hot spices in French food either (maybe more in the south) and no one denigrates that. Like the Scandinavian countries smoking and pickling is used too, that’s not bland. You get things like clove and nutmeg in sweet things and we have always used pickles, relishes and sauces to add interest to simple dishes, Worcester Sauce, Gentleman’s relish, piccalilli. A lot of those ingredients came via India and the far east so not true to say we never used them.
@@michaelayling8855 Canada is a bit of an oddball, old French colony so they speak French but also very much British. Can't say all their food is bland though.
I wish people would stop slamming English cooking. I was in England in 1978 and still dream of the wonderful foods I ate there. English breakfast sausage, napoleons, sultans loaf, cinder toffee, beans on toast (seriously!), incredible baked goods, and huge slabs of cod wrapped in newspaper with chips and all dowsed in malt vinegar. Gourmet? Maybe not. But delicious? Absolutely.
I love that Ollie wasn't fake despite that the Michelin restaurant invited them! Plus his face of confusion and disgust at the wine chocolate slush was hilaaaarious!!!
Yhis is one of those times that I'm really envious of Josh and ONLY and the delicious-looking food they're eating! We need someone here in the States who wants to do fish and chips as well as they do it in the UK!
I looked the place up online. It's not cheap, but it's a fraction of what I expected prices to be. You can get a scotch egg with a side of the triple cooked chips, and a beer to wash it down for 24 pounds. as far as michelin stars go, that's not too bad.
@eesafredericks2122 yeah the last time I went to a Michelin star restaurant my meal was like 220 USD lol The idea of getting a really solid pub dinner from chefs at the top of their game for like.. beer money is great
Josh’s every comment is laced with gratitude and appreciation, even when he doesn’t care for how something tastes, he’s always kind about it. Kudos to you, Josh!
This statement is so true! Josh is very aware of the feeling of others, and is more concerned about that over going for a punchline. Surprised I don't see a comment of this nature on every video
That's a crazy etymology for "devils on horseback"! The most likely explanation is that they were invented in the 1880's as an alternative to "angels on horseback" (oysters wrapped in bacon); since they were drenched with cayenne papper they were called "devilish".
@@theshiftybloke4672 Sounds fantastic to me! Partially cooked smoky bacon wrapped around a shucked oyster, skewered, grilled and dowsed with lime juice... yum!
Thats on the UK bucket list :) I love the atmosphere in small pubs and while I bet this one is a little more upscale than the place we had a 3 pound lunch at in 2010, the character of the buildings all tell wonderful tales. Creaky floors, dodgy doors, small entryways (being short, I dont have to duck). And then theres the locals that tend to come together for a pint or chat. Love it.
Hello, Chaps! Texas here, Thank you for taking me along with you on a trip that I know that I will never get to take myself. I am, right new, searching Google for a thrice fried French fry somewhere in Houston! Wish me well
I love the fact that ollie don't hold back, doesn't matter if it's a top end place, if he don't like it he says he don't like it. So many would just give platidues while hating it.
As a foodie myself I am sitting here, watching AND listening to this, and my mouth starts to salivate to the point of almost drooling. The crispy crunch of the breads are what sound engineers are looking for, trying to get them perfect, and here you are, effortlessly snacking away and creating THE perfect sound "bites" imaginable. 😂🤯🤤
What the feck is a foodie exactly? We all eat food and we all like good food so what makes someone a foodie? How and when did certain people try to elevate themselves above others for feckin eating? I personally call myself a breathy, I just love breathing more than the low life's.
For someone who is not a big fan of seafood. The difference between seafood and what a proper Chef can do with Seafood is a world of difference. It’s a foodgroup on its own.
If you don't like it then it's usually the fault of the cook, there are so many ways to prepare and cook any ingredient . Seafood fresh and cared for from the sea to the plate is one of life's pleasures for sure .
@@ravenfeader i agree with both of you but there is absolute difference between a good chef and a michelin chef. I’ve been a to a few michelin star restaurants in the netherlands and there flavors profiles are amazing even compared to restaurants just below michelin quality.
@dymff9533 With all due respect, there are effin homemakers that can cook a Michelin star chef meal, and that's where most, if not all, Michelin star chefs learned it.
This is my first time watching you guys, but I love the chemistry you have and the phrasing of everything. The passion for the food really shows and the production quality is superb. (Also love how you feed your crew too as you also want to share the amazing experience with others)
I guess I can happily say I've been watching y'all for years! Just shy of when y'all just started. The beauty...the wonder...the excitement just gets better and better. You both have come soooooo far through thick and thin....and persevered. You've changed many peoples lives without knowing them and knowing them. I truly look forward to all the videos to come and your life journey's. If you stay true to God, your family, your morals/ethics, the people who work hard for you and viewing audience.... everything will come back infinity fold. Can't wait for your new set. May God continue to bless you and your families in body, mind and spirit 🙏❤️
I love when Josh and Ollie go to fancy restaurants. Ollie’s irreverence of the food and setting is hilarious and balances Josh’s ecstasy while he is eating the food. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the northern province of The Netherlands (Groningen) we have something similar to Scotch egg called: eierbal (egg ball). It's basically the same, but in this case the egg is wrapped in ragout, seasoned with curry spices. The eierbal is much creamier. It's my favourite deep-fried snack, really worth a try!
I can't stop laughing at Josh's face. He looks high whenever he takes the first bite of everything. He rolls his eyes up as if he's going to pass out. Sorry Josh!😂
Upon Josh mentioning the quaking pudding looked like a pokemon, I suddenly imagined Ollie do the "Quaking Pudding! I choose you!" scene in my head and it's hilariously entertaining!
I adore how Jolly is slowing evolving to be a food show. I'm here for every second of it. Also Josh's reactions to food is everything. If I were in the kitchen cooking and got this kind of reaction, It would made my year lols.
So this is my first couple videos I’m watching of these two. And they have just the right amount of comedic timing and English properness. Hahah love it. The reactions are the best. Keep em coming.
So, I know the chef that selected and cooked your fish and chips that day…and he is 17 years old! Our favourite is the Mushroom Parfait and the Crab Soup & Sandwich. UNBELIEVABLE flavours!
That fish and chips looks absolutely spectacular. It is elevated, very inventive and sciency in the trademark style of Heston but without seeming pretentious or doing away with the charm of the meal in its traditional and simple form. I bet that was fantastic. Heston is truly one of the world's most exciting chefs and has remarkably stayed relevant for so many years. I still remember in vivid detail dining at Dinner by Heston in Knightsbridge (2 michelin stars) about 7 years ago.
Josh at least doesn't dislike fish and chips - I watched a video where he and Gabby visited the sea side and he was craving them. It might not be his favorite food (and Ollie probably shouldn't eat potatoes, lmao) but he likes it. When they visited Scotland didn't they also eat some very tasty, fresh fish and chips? I'm trying to remember when they said they didn't like them and coming up blank
Here in both Australia & New Zealand in our Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) is that NOT Only we do have Battered Fish & Grilled Fish but also Crumbed Fish in which the Fish is fully covered with Breadcrumbs instead of Batter & besides we do also have Potato Fritters which are called Potato Scallops covered in Batter & being cooked like the Battered Fish of course.
The pun game was on point! Lol That food looked divine! I love when I see people like myself that truly savor and enjoy food…the eyes rolling back in the head is a giveaway. 😂
OMG - I'm dying! I have never heard the phrase, ". . . conquered the world for spices but refuses to use any . . ." and no phrase explains their cuisine better! LMAO!!
The skills and patience of the chef are not to be underestimated but Britain seriously needs to up their taste palette and cooking game as well. After enjoying the scotch egg (dimer devil) in Kolkatta full of subtle spices the only thing left to appreciate here is aesthetics. Presentation is very good.
That’s the result of taking care of every stage of the cooking process and making no compromise with the quality of the ingredients . Even just simple mashed potatoes can be amazing .
We went there for my birthday yesterday and we had pretty much what you guys tried in the video, it was incredible! The staff was the nicest I've ever experienced in a restaurant. Thanks for putting me onto this place.
I'm not sure you really appreciated how much work goes into a Scotch egg that is perfectly cooked. The timing in the multiple cooking sessions is so hard to nail. No runny white and the yolk being runny is like a truly great accomplishment. It is like doing a double flip which is an accomplishment on it's own then catching the bar and doing a triple spin and nailing a landing.
I’m British, but I’ve never met anybody who doesn’t love fish and chips. But definitely not fine. Dining fish and chips. Proper fish and chips preferably as close to the coast as you can.
I just love Ollie's reaction to the dessert! I bet all of the restaurants are just scared to provoque that face! Amazing videos guys, you really cheer a lot of us up with your videos and sincere and realistic friendship that is palpable on screen!
That oxtail pudding with a glass of red wine (maybe some mash and veg too) on a cold day in the pub with the fire going. I literally couldn’t wish for more. ❤
You guys have NO idea of how much this episode means to me! I used to watch “Heston’s feasts” religiously when I was a teenager… that man is a true artist and genius… but his craft paired with your own master and genius is just my British dream content! 🤩
Eating and drinking beer in 500-year-old buildings is honestly one of the reasons I most want to go to England and Scotland. Also, I just love fish and chips so much, and that looked amazing.
Watching Josh dip an open-face sandwich into a cup of soup in a Michelin-star pub without a care in the world is the most American thing I've ever seen him do.
Hi Guys, loved your review of the Fat Duck. 😊 Heston is an amazing man, beyond his years in regards to food. The crunch of the toasts and chips were the highlight of the video. You two are just the right people to review food.
This was an egg-cellent episode of epic proportions, they really don’t yolk around when it comes to food. The other food was crab-tivating and ofishially fintastic! You bet your Bass they’ll never forget the experience! 😂
My mother was a traditional English cook and made stewed oxtail which was absolutely revered across the whole family. This definitely used spices, black peppercorns, blade mace, allspice and dried chilli in a muslin bag, as well ss a bouquet garni. The amount of connective tissue in the oxtail made the wonferfully rich and unctuous gravy. The fat trimmed from the meat was first rendered down and the sections of tail and accompanying onions, carrots and celery were browned in the beef fat, sometimes with the addition of some beef dripping if necessary. The stew would be finished with a good handful of chopped parsley.
I would love to try these kinds of places, the creativeness is something to behold. With that said, I just got back from Dorset and sat in a place that served their own catch. I had a lobster and oysters as fresh as can be, and it was heaven. When a 3 and 5 year old are digging into the lobster Tomalley, that's a proud dad moment. Edit: I need to try that oxtail pie. Now.
I love how he just enjoys the flavor and the noise he makes is wonderful. I make noises like that when I have something that tastes really good. I get teased by friends and the guys are always just watching and staring at me while I enjoy the food. It's nice to know that there is a guy that can actually enjoy the food fully as I do. lol
The look on Ollie's face when he doesn't like a bite... it's everything. I laugh so hard I actually cry. Thanks for a day of laughter all in one minute!😅❤😊
You both crack me up! Josh NEEDED to marry a chef! He practically has ❤️’s jumping from his eyes when he loves something. Bless Ollie, love him just as much for his “that’s not my cup of tea” faces. Always makes me laugh! You guys are a great team
Been binging on Jolly videos since the last two weeks straight, so much so that I don't watch any other videos in RU-vid, becauss that will ruin my RU-vid algorithm. Such fun videos, from 6 years ago to till date. You guys are such a joy to watch. Much love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️
I love how their two different brilliant personalities pair together and bounce off of each other. Seeing josh calmly loving the food then look over to Ollie doing his little food dance makes my heart happy ! The perfect pair to binge watch 😊
