Watching Master Chef UK The Professionals.

Here's another one I've never heard of:

Chicken Oysters

As has already been stated, these shows are all about showing off the skills of the chefs, not about making dishes that the average Brit family would have.

Also, are there actually any questions for us Brits from your last 3 posts? They just appear to be random events happening in the UK but you don't seem to want to know anything specific about them?

One of the most loved sandwiches in America in the "peanut butter and jelly or jam" with a glass of milk. Do kids and adults from the U.K. eat peanut butter sandwiches?

No we in Blightly eat peanut butter (Crunchy "N" Smooth) and marmite , or marmite and jam.
Although the jam tends to be lime jam rather than berry based.
It`s sort of traditional and linked to Horatio Nelson inventing lime chutney to help combat scurvy.
Although I prefer the lemon kind of jam with "Bits" with my marmite.
Goes down a treat , especially alongside a pint of finest warmest steaming beer

I thought this was a marmite

Ah-but the taste is indescribable...and there's the Australian and NZ versions-Marmite and Vegemite....which are thicker in consistency but different in taste again

Ah the Guardian, never knowingly accurate. The consistency is of old axle grease, far thicker than oil and you would have to increase the strength of soy sauce by many many times to come near the delight of marmite.

An acquired taste, I take it?

I read some of the answers on Quora - https://www.quora.com/To-the-Brits-A...d-in-trying-it

I do believe I can live without trying it.
