Part 6/9:
A spirited discussion ensues about British staples, particularly baked beans on toast—a dish met with playful skepticism from John but ultimately appreciated after Idris points out the sweet, molasses-like flavor of the bean sauce, describing it almost as a "gift that keeps on giving." The texture contrast between crispy bread and soaked bean juice is highlighted as surprisingly pleasant, breaking John's initial assumptions.
But perhaps the most polarizing element is Marmite—a yeast extract spread known for its pungency. John and Idris taste it with trepidation: one declaring it "stingy" and "not that bad," the other, more blunt, hating it immediately. The debate showcases the divide: Marmite is either loved or hated, and clearly, it’s a polarizing British icon.
