Kids Try 100 Years of British Food

♫ What are we having today, oh

♫ What are we having today

♫ What are we having today

(jazz music)

Pie.

Is that meat?

So flaky.

(blowing loudly)

(mumbling)

It's good.

People didn't have cell phones.

And I don't think they had beepers.

(jazz music)

Fish 'n chips.

(crunching)

Tastes like, a lot like lobster.

Formed also with like a funnel cake.

It's good.

Good job.

Is this...

Peas?

People actually eat this?

I know that The Beatles ate it.

I feel bad for British people.

Mmhmm, that's exactly what it is.

Mushy peas.

Do a little bit of this (crunching).

I'm not disappointed at all.

Very good.

(jazz music)

Bread.

Marmalade.

What is this?

Let's see.

It tastes like-- Bread and butter.

Yeah, bread and butter.

What's Marmite?

Yeast extract Ew!

Barley, Ew!

Salt, it's like.

What is this?

Just put a little.

This much.

Like it?

(groaning)

No, it's not very good, I don't understand why

anyone would like Marmite.

England makes the best marmalade.

Why is England the wettest country?

Why?

Because the Queen has reigned there for years.

(jazz music)

Whoa!

Looks like guacamole.

Do you put this on the lettuce?

(crunching)

I like it.

Yeah, I'd like to have that at home.

I definitely taste some sort of dry something,

but papaya?

Orange?

Apple maybe?

Mango?

I was sort of thinking prune.

I've heard of coordination.

Cold chicken?

Did someone eat this before they became King or Queen?

Queen Elizabeth?

Okay.

That's actually kind of cool.

Good choice, Queen Elizabeth.

(upbeat 60s music)

Yes.

Hmm.

It doesn't taste like anything I taste before.

What kind of blood?

It looks like mud that was freeze dried, and then

put into a shaper, and then frozen, and then baked,

and they put little broken seeds in it,

and added a lot of pepper.

Do you like yolk?

I'm making a bacon sandwich.

Oh this is huge.

It's blood pudding, bacon and eggs in it.

This is good.

Ooh, look at that.

But it's so jiggly.

Uh.

A hundred.

I love cake.

Great job, England, for making the best dessert ever.

(upbeat 60s music)

Today I got some sticky toffee pudding.

Where's the pudding part?

This is good.

Why not taste it, Billy?

I wish it was bigger.

It's really good.

I don't think my mom would want me saying this,

but, that's when she was born.

And when they danced they act like they were electrocuted.

That was the dance move that everybody did.

(upbeat percussion)

I'm not gonna open mine anymore.

But it popped out like that.

(popping)

To me it just tastes like chicken, and then.

Is it broccoli?

I'm thinking it's broccoli.

It's broccoli, right?

This, for me, is something that astronauts would have.

They don't even have a microwave in space.

Kiev?

Kiev.

Kev.

Kiev.

Kev.

The butter is like lip gloss right now.

What's this?

Meatball.

Meatball, oh my gosh.

It smells good, Kent.

So good.

That part is really, really, really, really good.

You should touch the bacon.

That's not bacon, it's a dessert.

An egg.

Inside of meat?

Hold on, I know what these totally are.

They're egg meatballs.

A meat egg.

Paul-- I'm gonna tell

Mommy that we should buy these.

(beat boxing)

My favorite part was definitely the custard,

and the crumbs.

100.

(upbeat music)

Smells good.

I'm guessing this is ox.

(flatware clattering)

Mmm.

A very hard and powerful texture.

It's chicken.

Not ox.

Chicken Tikka Masala.

This dish got score of a nine.

I give it a nine and a half.

It's very good.

(jazz music)

It smells like chicken.

Is it ham?

[Both] One.

Two, three.

I like it but it's chewy.

It's really good, though.

The gravy is winning.

I like the bread.

This would be good with hot chocolate.

Sounds like air, doesn't it?

(jazz music)
