MUST TRY Christmas Market Food in London!!

Hi, I'm Josh. I'm Ollie. And today we are in London's most famous food market to get the best Christmas food London has to offer. I'm excited. I hope you're hungry. I am hungry and I'm also happy because today's episode is sponsored by Fiverr. Oh, okay. There's more about that later. Okay. And a special surprise for you that I've been working on for about three months. Oh no. All right, let's eat some food. First up, we're going for the ultimate Christmas sandwich, the Slayer. The Slayer. You know me, I love a good word play. You do. I do, I love a good word play. Every time we try and come up with a name for a series, the amount of puns. And then we never go with the pun. We never ever go with a pun. God, look at that pork slowly getting that egg. How long has this been cooked for, the pork? We cook it overnight actually. Overnight? Yeah, so overnight so it's super, super, super soft. Oh my gosh. Absolutely fantastic. You absolutely slayed that, mate. Look at that, bad man. Oh my gosh. Let's do it. The Slayer. Okay, that's Christmassy. Wow, wow. The slow cooked pork is so tender. Absolutely incredible. The sweetness of the cranberry sauce, absolutely incredible. It literally tastes festive. It's like a whole Christmas meal in a sandwich. Absolutely incredible. You know what I think really makes a sandwich? Is the nuts and the crispy spices. It tastes like the seasoning on top of a turkey. It's almost like the crispy skin, you know, when you've properly baked turkey. And then a little hint of the stuffing. It's so good. With the sage and everything, right? First taste of Christmas this year. We're off to a good start. We are. Very strong. What's that here, Josh? Is that the early labor pains of Mary giving birth to Jesus? Because Christmas has begun. I think we're going to make a sleigh reference. The bells of a sleigh on the Slayer. Her water's broken. Okay, I'm out. I'm out. On to the next stop, Josh. It is a festive favorite. The mince pie. Oh, look at that. Shortcrust butter pastry mince pies. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, I really want a pan. I'm going to get a pan Swiss to go. I know we have a lot to eat today, but I'm still going to get one to go. Look at the brioche buns, they look like cartoon buns. Oh my gosh. Can we get two mince pies, please? And a Swiss as well. And a brioche bun. Thank you very much. Have a lovely day. We came to the store to buy two mince pies. This was my segment of the video. Look at that bun. We've come away with so much. Is that not a picture perfect bun? It's just a brioche bun. Look at it. Look how soft it looks. Josh's raw enthusiasm for food. In fairness, I just said, wow, look at those buns. And Ollie goes, have one of them, please. Did I order it? And a brioche bun. And now we've got mince pies. We've got to get some mulled wine. It would be rude not to. Wow. Can we grab two mulled wines? Yes. Okay, I've got a little surprise for Josh now. He is very confused. He actually doesn't really like surprises. We'll see how this goes. Let's give these bad boys a try. These bad boys, there's nothing like a mince pie. It's the whole season of Christmas in one bite. It's like eating a Christmas tree, but way less scratchy. Almost just snotted everywhere. That's a very good mince pie. It's definitely the best mince pie in the whole wide market. Is it the only one? Cheers. Happy Christmas. And a merry new year. It's not normally how the phrase goes, but there you go. Cheers. Okay, I think we got it. So. Got what? About three months ago, I tried to script a conversation between you and me that we would have in this exact location. Okay. And then I worked with Fiverr, who incidentally are sponsoring this video, to claymate our conversation. What the hell is a claymator? All right, let's give these bad boys a try. Mince pies are one of those things that, because they only come out at a certain time of year, they literally taste like the whole season. Yeah, it's like licking a Christmas tree, but less scratchy. Okay, here goes. Cheers. That is good. That is really good. That's just the right amount of sweet and savory. That's the best mince pie in the whole wide market. I think it might be. Cheers. Happy Christmas. Is Andy reading my voice? And then you've got Andy's tone to it. Wow. It's quite impressive that you can get that on Fiverr. Yeah, I know. You're really making the most of that AI Josh voice. Yeah, man. Thanks, man. Well, you can thank Fiverr. They connect you with freelancers who provide a range of digital services, including video editing, music production, and website creation. They've got a community review system, which helps you find people who are highly reviewed by other Fiverr users. And it's just a great service. Since it's the season to be jolly, what says Christmas more than a festive claymation? So I worked with a guy on Fiverr called Tupa Tupa Video, who's done a ton of claymation stuff with people all over the world, and that's what we made. While on Fiverr, I actually got some ideas for some future projects. Okay. I might even be commissioning an AI Josh fashion range. Anyway, go to fvrr.co forward slash jolly to get your own best mate a claymation before Christmas. Or maybe just look at some of the other services they offer. You can use the code jolly for 10% off. We should probably go and get some more Christmas food. Let's do it. I think next up is a very special Christmas dessert. Wow, you finished that mulled wine. That is bold. Next up, we have a sweet little Christmas dessert. What's inside? Mince pie filling? Yeah. Oh, wow. Is that hot custard? Yeah. Love custard. Oh, yes. What's this? This is marshmallows. Marshmallows. So this is also marshmallows. So we're doing big Christmas trees. Oh, yes. Thank you very much. Wow. Okay. Amazing. Custard is bottomless. Wow. That is dangerous. So bottomless custard. Custard from around the bottom. Top. Oh, that's good. Very, very good custard. That's really good. Slightly spiced. Okay. Oh my gosh, that's really good. Yeah. Oh my gosh, there's a crumblepocalypse. That's really damn good. That's actually a lot better than I was expecting. Marshmallow on custard. How the hell does that work so well? How have we never tried that before? The crumble topping to filling ratio, perfect. I've never thought about how crumble filling is not dissimilar from mince pie filling. It's true. It's just a bunch of fruit. Yeah. It's like spiced apple, isn't it? Spiced. Oh, it looks like there is some raisins. It's less intense than a normal mince pie filling. I don't know. Holy moly, that is good. Oh my gosh, it's just absolutely decadent. The Englishness in me is triggered by requesting bottomless custard. Why? I know that he offered it. He did. But a lot of things in our culture we offer, but we don't mean. It's like when someone stands up to leave and they're like, I really should be going. And you're like, no, no, you shouldn't. Knowing full well, they should have left half an hour ago. That's what you mean every time you tell me I should stay longer at your house. No, it doesn't apply to you. What next, Josh? In the UK especially, you can't have Christmas without some Christmas pudding. It's true. That's what we're going for today. Typically made back in early November, I think, on stir up Sunday. Don't you like let it ferment under the bed? Isn't that a tradition? No, that's the bedpan. No, okay, that's not. Wowzers. Hello. Do you make these on the official Christmas pudding making day, stir up Sunday? No? Okay. No, we make them on the second week of June. Of June? Wow. So they've been fermenting, developing that flavour. Well, exactly. It's maturing, they call it. Perfect. So we've been making them for 25 years. It's just me and my mother. Really? That's amazing. She used to make all these cheesecakes for Harrods. So she's been doing this for years. And I just come up to London and sell them every year. Wow. Oh my gosh. So do you just fill the kitchen in June with Christmas pudding mix? Yeah, this goes nuts. Look at that. 250 kilos at a time in one mixer. 250 kilos. And then you put them under the bed? Is that a tradition? No, not under my bed. Is that a tradition? Yeah, okay. You'd have to have a bunk bed. Someone wants to hold the ladle. Oh yeah, absolutely. So you can pour that over. Okay, shall I go now? Go for it. Yeah? Yep. There you go. Wow, look at that. Brandy. Some brandy butter. Brandy butter, my favourite thing. Is it light? Briefly. I think it's a bit windier. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It should, yeah. If you're at the dinner table. Lovely. You should have a little try. Amazing. All right, let's do this. Look at that. Desinvolved, mate. Oh, you're feeding me? Oh, okay, okay. Oh wow, that's rich, that flavour. Oh, that is incredible. Wow. I have a lot of people that come to my market stand and they say, I don't like Christmas pudding. And I just immediately say, well, you've never tasted a good one. Yeah. I mean, that's like Christmas pudding concentrate, you know? That is unreal. Oh my gosh. Mate, you need to try this. Seriously? Best I've ever had. Best Christmas pudding. You don't like Christmas pudding? No, no. No, that's what he said. How could anyone not like that? Yeah, exactly. Andy, you don't like Christmas pudding? I hate Christmas pudding. Who hates Christmas pudding? All right, moment of truth. He does. No, it has all the flavours of Christmas pudding, but without the tangy intensity, it's much more smooth, but still the flavour's rich. This is so good. It is so good. Literally tastes like Christmas. Well, that has been the best Christmas food in London. In London. Yeah. It's been amazing, actually. I am extremely full of Christmas. I'm ready for a nap, which means it must be Christmas. Indeed. A nap and an afternoon tantrum. Okay, yeah. Thank you very much to Fiverr for sponsoring this video.
