Yep, I know that name is crazy, but it's actually a delicious dessert - like a sponge cake infused with raisins, usually covered in hot custard.
If they improved the branding on this, I think it'd actually be extremely popular...
2) Bounty Bars 🥥
Didn't actually realise these were a Bri'ish thing until today - but they're a coconut chocolate bar, subject to much ridicule.
I agree they're not as nice as a KitKat or a Twix, but they’re not THAT bad - and I'm sure people love them!
3) Black Pudding 🐷
This is dried pig's blood and is featured in any PROPER full English breakfast.
4) Eggs & Soldiers 🍳
Wow - I forgot all about these.
You half-boil an egg (so the yolk is still runny), and dip slices of buttered toast in there (I guess these kinda look like soldiers)?
Genuinely so delicious, and easy to make. You do need one of those egg-holder things though!
5) Fish Pie 🐟
Just to clear this up - nobody actually eats this. Don't worry.

I've noticed that people speaking in a second language quite often say 'ummmmm' or 'errrrrrr' in between words (which is understandable).
HOWEVER - the next time you are trying to remember that forgotten word... instead of saying 'ummmmmmmmmm' - just pause.
Stop talking for 5 seconds whilst you think of what it is you want to say.
✅ This achieves 2 things:
1) It makes you sound more fluent and confident - happy days👍
2) It prevents you from getting flustered, and therefore making a mistake, then getting more flustered, then saying 'ummmmmm' more, and so on, and so on, and so on (creating a vicious circle)... 😅
Try it the next time you're speaking in English - instead of 'ummmmmmm' - just pause.
📚 Vocab used:
- Happy days (idiom) = A British expression used to show happiness or satisfaction 🙂
- Flustered (adj) = Nervous, confused, or unable to think clearly, often due to stress 😵
- Vicious cycle (noun) = A situation where one problem causes another, making the original problem worse 😑

💡 Pause more, 'um' less:
When speaking, use the power of the pause.

I’m busy as a bee so no video this week, but starting next Friday I’m going back to WEEKLY UPLOADS! 😇
‘Busy as a bee’ (idiom) = very busy. 🐝
Example sentence:
“The nice YouTuber was busy as a bee so didn’t post a video this week, but starting next Friday is going back to WEEKLY UPLOADS! 😇”
Cheers x
