Ask a Brit: *food edition*

Blimey! I’ve had a lot of questions about food so I’ve combined all the shorter questions into one big entry 

Q1: “Is marmite real?”

YES! OF COURSE MARMITE IS REAL- WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT DIDN’T EXIST?

sorry, I like marmite way too much...

Anyway. Marmite is real, we do eat it, I’ll have you know it is actually edible but I must say- it is an acquired taste. You really will either love it or hate it.

Q2: “What are your favourite chips/ (crisps)?”

Walker’s cheese and onion all the way! Though, there are some really good roast chicken crisps in France.

Q3: “Favourite meat in a roast?”

It’s a tie between chicken and beef

Q4: “What is a Toby Carvery?”

Basically, a roast dinner restaurant. You go up to a long counter, ask the carver what meat you want (anything out of: beef, chicken, pork and gammon) and then do the potatoes, veg, sauces and gravy yourself. I always ask for a bit of everything, it’s just so good!

Q5: “Bakewell tarts? Crumpets?”

I’m assuming you want definitions:

Bakewell tarts/cherry bakewells are small tarts with pastry bases, almond flavoured cakey middles, marzipan or normal icing to cover it and a cherry on top

Crumpets are weird, round doughey discs full of airholes that are put in a toaster and eaten with some form of topping. My favourite has to be marmite but you can have anything! From plain butter to avocado, you can do anything
