Number 10:- Celery sticks .... in a jar, neatly trimmed to remove the tough bottom fibers .... Celery is basically water in a green fibre straw ... 🌱🌱🌱

Americans are frightened by a cold meat pie or scotch egg, but they regularly eat food absolutely crammed with chemicals. Hmmmm

A very good Tuesday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset

I wonder what Americans would think about Arctic Roll or a deep fried Mars Bar

Olivia, If you'd like to continue you're exploration of cold British seafood picnic snacks it's worth tracking down cockles or perhaps potted shrimps.

Marmite on toast is the best, closely followed by a cheese and marmite toastie, the cheese has to be be some very mature cheddar.

Greggs sausage roll - food of the Gods!

a good ham and cheese salad with boiled new potatoes smothered in salad cream and 4 slices of buttered bread is my idea of summer i make enough to last me 2 days and don't mind the potatoes being cold on the second day

all those items you mentioned are great whenever i went out with a packaged lunch with the dog I was lucky to survive as the dog would drool all over me for pork pie & the rest.

The irony of septics worrying about food safety! I wouldn't be able to sell US food as pet food in the UK.

The first (and last) peanut and jelly sandwich I had was on the shores of Lake Victoria. I was a party with a group on British and American teachers, singing the songs of 1963 to a guitar. I have never had once since, despite moving to Texas in the 70s.
Your large picture of a pork pie had me in tears.

9:56 'the cheese bureau'? what, it was the milk marketing board.
also most of the pictures shown of 'thick crusty bread' was actually sliced white loaf, no-one uses that for a ploughman's lunch.

I never eat the jelly. The pastry was designed for preservation and wasn't meant to be eaten.

from uk,,,,as always you are amazing

gala pie is the upgraded version of a pork pie and scotch egg the only thing different is you swap the breadcrumbs for that thick pastry and i have seen gala pies with 6 eggs in them lol

Every Scott's person started life as a scotch egg,

You Cant Beat A Cheese and Branston Sarny.  🎵Bring Out The Branston!!!🎵

American "Ranch Dressing"
Creation: Invented in the early 1950s by a plumber-turned-cook named Steve Henson.
Popularity: Popularized at his Hidden Valley Ranch property in California.
Status: It has been the best-selling salad dressing in the United States since 1992.

Dear Olivia, another excellent video.  But you missed a few regular picnic items: Cornish pasty; ham and cheese sandwich (with English mustard); cold steak and kidney pie (with English mustard); corned beef sandwich with Branston.

A pork pie must have a dollop of Branston Pickle on it. Coronation chicken on a baked potato is second to none.
