I knew this one instantly. The LGBT sandwich from M&S was huge in 2019 on Twitter as another of those “well-meaning yet out-of-touch corporate Pride” products (although knowing the proceeds went to charity it might not have been as out-of-touch as Twitter had us believe).

My favourite comment came from a friend of mine who just tweeted: “Mum, Dad, I’ve got something to tell you…I’m guacamole.” 😂😂😂😂😂

[saiphrivas]

solved this almost immediately and spent the rest of the video uselessly screaming "GUACAMOLE" to the screen, 11/10 this channel is great

As a native Californian, I was indeed shouting “how have none of you had guacamole?”

Though to be fair I’ve heard mushy peas mentioned several times and always assumed that was a joke and not an actual food item.

[daniel-panek]

This was interesting. The "egg but smaller" was really throwing me for a loop. Good job!

As a guacamole enthusiast, I am very disappointed in the lack of recognition of guacamole. Also, Americans generally dislike peas, so it would make sense that the Americans in pubs were pushing it away. "It's just peas" isn't the selling point Jenny thinks it is.

[ieyke]

You didn't get guacamole for British reasons.
I dismissed guacamole because it's a whole lot more than just smashed avocado.

4:17 "oh you guys are being so british right now" had me dying

On the subject of "mushy peas and guacamole are similar": Funnily enough, the BBC Good Food website used to have a guacamole recipe that replaced avocado entirely with frozen peas. It was actually quite good... Sadly, the version that's on the site at the time of writing has both peas and avocado in it.

Tom always mentions getting tag lines from his guests when "Are you ready for a long rambling story that goes nowhere" is RIGHT THERE

[sirgarberto]

I'm gonna have to join the "mad at people thinking guacamole is just smashed avocado" camp here

[kentslocum]

When she said "eggs but smaller, " I thought it was going to be caviar.

The side story about mushy peas being served with fish & chips is interesting to me because here in Newfoundland most restaurants will serve fish & chips with peas, but left whole. I find it perplexing that we don't serve them mushy, now knowing that this is probably why we include peas at all, because we serve "peas pudding" with so many dishes.

I guess I'd say that smashed avocado and guacamole are sufficiently different such that calling it one, would preclude the other. In a similar to how applesauce and apple pie filling are sufficiently distinct.

[scottmartin]

Most restaurants that offer LGBTQ sandwiches have opted for queso (Spanish for cheese) as the fifth ingredient, as it's already a common addition to the BLT.

[TheTechAdmin]

The second she said, "you can have avocado in different forms", I saw BLTG in my head and whispered "LGBTQ" then I yelled at my phone "quail egg!!! LGBTQ sandwich!!!" as if I was also on the call too.

Definitely my top 3 best moments. I'm glad at least two people were around for one of them.

[glossaria]

*technically* Tom was right, he just got the acronym wrong. (It WAS an egg.)

[bosschamp]

3:48 Oh my god, the confusion on Jenny’s face when she realises there are different names for ‘smashed avocados’ 😂

[MrStantonP]

Gotta be honest, Tom, I think you're on to something: A Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwich with a Fried Egg! Sounds delicious!!! A BLTSWFE!
