That hot dog is a straight up no on so many levels, have never eaten or seen anything like that in my life. Jarred hot dogs with pickle spears and crispy onions? Omg, just yikes š¬
To be fair, he'd have to eat an entree or at least a side dish for everything if he ate it the way he was "supposed" to š Hard to do that when you just want to sample something.
In my 20s, my best friend from England got me hooked on those black currant drinks (and an orange one). They're sold in the international aisle. So so so good š¤¤
For a long time, I hate it reaction videos because they were like the one that has been reacted to now. Where they will have people trying food from different countries, but itās all about dramatics plus food would not be accurate.
For example, on one of the reaction channels they had people react to Thanksgiving dinner, but they did not make a pumpkin pie. If Iām not mistaken, they had a can of pumpkin pie filling. It was basically a bunch of nonsense and that is what made me not like reaction videos because they were usually just stupid stuff.
I like Lav Lukaās channel, but I donāt like the channel heās reacting to
We might put Sugar & Cream in Coffee, but we never put it in Tea! Only sweet Tea gets sugar!
We have good chocolate just not Hershey's.
Heinz is American….. They're from Pittsburgh..
A can of old fashioned baked beans cost less than a dollar. If it's imported from England yes of course it's going to cost more but who's stupid enough to buy an import when the ones made here are the same thing? BTW the UK has huge import fees added to all foods imported from any country. Wait 1 damn minute. Yes Walmart is huge but less than 25% of the store is devoted to grocery items. Their grocery department is small and does not offer much variety. We do have some large Super Markets with so much variety it can be challenging to make a decision. You can buy Hagis in America but you cannot buy hagis from Scotland in America. Kinder eggs are also available in the U.S. American food companies do not add chlorine to food. Don't be ridiculous. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant when cleaning food machines and it is possible that minuscule amounts might make it into food so the USDA requires it to be listed as an ingredient even though it evaporates out of the food. Chlorine is consumable we add it to our water so there is no danger. It's chlorine not chlorinated bleach which are 2 very different things.
You know baked beans were invented in America. That type is very old fashioned like the kind we ate in the 50s and 60s. BBQ baked beans are more popular but we have like 20, 30 different types of baked beans. Yes, we eat them cold and hot. They're often served cold at picnics. In the summer we'd have a ham and cheese sandwich with cold baked beans. They weren't ice cold, room temperature usually. We absolutely never ever eat them for breakfast. The Bounty Bar is an American candy bar originally named Mounds. We had a Wonka candy bar just like Curly Wurly but they stopped selling it like 20 some years ago. They were good. Nerds are for younger kids.
I have absolutely never seen a UK or British section in any grocery store. We do have a lot of ethnic food options. Italian, Mexican, Indian and Asian are probably the most popular. There are specialty shops that will stock UK foods but they're mainly in very big cities like NYC. I would say most Americans have not tasted marshmallow fluff. It's mainly just used in cooking, like a lot of women use it to make a type of fudge. Lucky Charms suck, they don't have any flavor, The marshmallows look cool but they don't have any flavor either and they're like dry hard pieces of candy that dissolve in your mouth. It is possible to get those giant chicken breast but mostly our skinless boneless chicken breasts look the same. I think he had the whole breast, from both sides and the other guy just had the main piece of breast meat from 1 side with the chicken strip removed.
I have to say as an American. I do like Wheetabix. Itās great drizzled in honey in a bowl of milk of course.
Brits: All American food is full of sugar and too sweet.
Also Brits: He's not eating it correctly, he needs to add a spoonful of sugar.
The candy bar he had last that looked like a rope. It looks exactly like the marathon bar I used to get as a kid. ā¤ā¤
The chlorine isn't in the food! They rinse and then rinse it again stop the madness
That IS NOT an American hotdog
Beans on toast for breakfast…why?…why would you do that…do you not have any other food to eat?
I have never seen a UK section in any grocery store
Man said British Hersheys are better! Lmao sure, whatever he says
The marshmallow fluff and cream cheese mixed together makes a DIP…..to dip FRUIT in….like…apple slices….strawberries….peach slices…pears….grapes….it is YUMMY….don't knock it until you try it……..whats hilarious to me is the sweeping generalities that ar passed off as "fact" in some of these videos š„° best wishes, jenni from Houston……
Itās funny watching Brits defend their āfoodā
Weetabix looks like blocks of wheat we feed goats and other animals at a petting zoo
With regard to Marmite, Iāve tried it with every single suggestion, and it still tastes like a gym sock.
I love how frustrated you are with the way the American guy is eating your food šš. IT is how this American girl feels when I watch Brits eating our Mexican food with no salsa or pancakes without syrup šš! I still love you guys š
Weetabix is exactly like our shredded wheat cereal. I ate it growing up and absolutely loved it šš¤£!!
I do not buy any UK goods š¤£ there is a stigma that UK food has no taste but i do see a lot of these items in stores š
No, we don't have liquid concentrate drinks like that. We do have powdered drink mix that you mix with water to make a large (or small) about of drink. There's single serving packets that you just dump in the bottle of water, and then there's packets that make up to 2 quarts (Ā½ gallon). But to have to carry around a bottle concentrate flavored drink to then also have to dilute with water is not a thing here. And then not only that, there's some new things where there's a specialized container that you put a flavoring thing in the cap, and have your water in the bottom that instantly mixes as you drink it or something like that. I'm not really sure as I've never had them.
American chocolate always being rated off of Hersey's is appalling.
Wait, what? You don't even have Gatorade in the UK? Geez, that shits been around for almost 60 years now. Came out in 1965 as a way to quickly rehydrate [University of] Florida Gator athletes.
Salad Cream…speaking of which, what flavors of Salad Dressing do you have in the UK? Like honestly, I'd like to know. You don't have Ranch, which I find quite baffling, tbh. It's just a Buttermilk-based dressing. Do you have Thousand Island? Or French? Russian? Poppyseed? Blue Cheese? Vinegarette?
Mushy Peas in the US is otherwise known as Baby Food. No joke. Like why, UK? Why? A regular pea is too much for you, or what? You have to mush them up for adults? What you doin'?
PB&J is literally one of best and easiest way to get that sweet and savory tastes in the morning or any time of the day, really. We combine the two items because it really works. I find that one of the biggest problems in the British food industry is that y'all just don't wanna experiment or think outside the box with your food choices. And I notice that a lot of your items like Marmite and the like, are extremely salty and only require just a dab to do the trick. Why? Why the extreme saltiness and concentrated nature of the things?
Beef Jerky was first invented by an offshoot tribe of the South American Incas in 1550. It was just a way to preserve meat. Before refrigeration, you had to have a way to preserve your food, so curing the meat was the way to do it. Westward Expansion pioneers and settlers in the US thru the 1800s used the practice a lot as it allowed them to take their meat with them to eat along the way without having to cook anything, and it's a good source of protein (obviously, right?)
If I have hot dogs and beans I'll dip my dog in the bean juice.
š You mentioned that the American dude isn't having those foods correctly, and I could say the same thing about Brits coming over here and having certain foods as well. The Beesleys are probably the worst offenders. James and what's her name literally have no idea on how to eat most things here. Things as simple as putting syrup on your pancakes or waffles, or crackers in your soup. Like James had a bowl of Clam Chowder and some Oyster Crackers (miniature crackers that just look like oysters…has nothing to do with oyster meat) and instead of just dumping a good portion of them in his Chowder, ge was dipping these little tiny crackers in the soup. And then another example was him eating a pancake dry. No syrup or butter. And we're all screaming in the Comments…WHAT YOU DOIN'? USE SOME SYRUP, JAMES!
HEY! You just gave my super exclusive fruit dip recipe to everyone!! š Best fruit dip ever! I love it! And no-go on the marmite.
Heinz started in Germany. Same with ketchup by the same name
Zucchini is an Italian word. Maybe she grew up in or near some Italian neighbors or US soldiers in the UK.
Zucchini came from Italy, hence the name
Before the 70s we used to have fruit drinks that required diluting it with water.
Pop tarts not a breakfast thing? What planet is he from? They're literally one of the most popular breakfast items for kids. Now as an adult, I have been eating them as a mid to late night snack. Like around, 9 or 10 at night. And strawberry is probably the most popular flavor here in the US, as it was one of the original flavors. There's all kinds now.

That hot dog and the stuff he put on it doesn't exist in the US
Now, as far as cereals go, I don't really know what kiddy cereals are still popular as I haven't been one for about 35, 40 years now, and I don't have any kids of my own, but the types of cereals that I enjoy now are bran (fiber) or corn flake cereals, wheat puffs, oat cereals (Cheerios) and rice crispies. I'll occassionally buy a fruity or chocolate/peanut butter kiddy cereal, but I just stick with my previous selections.
Hotdogs are not sold in jars. They're just wrapped in a plastic sack-like thing. And I say that, because once you open it, the wrap gets kinda baggy as you've removed a few dogs, so there's slack in the container that once was pretty taut.
Thurston, the jars of Marshmallow spread are used for basically one purpose. Making homemade Rice Krispy Treats. You basically just mix Rice Krispies with the Marshmallow spread in a large deep dish tray thing, then refrigerate to get it to firm up, and then cut it into squares to serve. There might be some other uses for the spread in some recipes I'm not familiar with, but you don't really just eat the stuff by itself.
