  • - British cuisine is so much more than bangers and mash,

  • and today we're gonna try some of the many dishes

  • of this country on a walking food tour of London's East End.

  • - So we've got a full hour walking tour which is more than

  • just food, it gives you a taste of the neighborhood.

  • We go to eight different establishments

  • where you get some food, you get some drinks.

  • It doesn't matter if you're a vegetarian or not,

  • there's something for everybody on our food tour.

  • - The first stop is at the St. John Bread and Wine.

  • We're gonna have a bacon sandwich.

  • The bacon sandwich is also known as a bacon butty.

  • That's delicious, the sauce is fantastic.

  • - Fantastic.

  • - This is such a beautiful space.

  • It dates back to the 17th Century,

  • and today we're gonna try bread pudding here.

  • You've got to cut a little hole in the middle

  • and fill it with custard.

  • That is so rich.

  • Ah, this is the stop I've been waiting for,

  • Poppie's Fish and Chips, supposedly

  • the best fish and chips in town.

  • Oh, it's delicious.

  • Of course this is a food tour, we're eating lots of food

  • but I'm also loving how much history there is

  • throughout the walk and our guide is telling us all about

  • the heritage of these foods, the buildings,

  • the neighborhood, it's fantastic.

  • - Well, the food is amazing.

  • I think I came in expecting amazing food,

  • but I didn't expect an amazing tour as well,

  • and the history around the food really has been so additive.

  • - What a delicious day this has been,

  • fish and chips, curry, pork sandwiches.

  • I've had the most fantastic time here in East London.

  • I am happy and I am full.
