Also, you guys fucked up with the cornbread. Yellow cornbread is for bullshit munchers. Real cornbread-loving people go white cornbread, because that yellow shit tastes more like dessert. Plus, you didn't even butter it.
+Bob Papadopoulos my mom's recipe is yellow corn and it's fairly unsweetened. I have added a little sugar in once or twice which can be nice. I've never tried white. You definitely have to butter. Butter is what makes the bread!
Ok: 1. I'm not really a cornbread person but even I know that homemade cornbread is so much better than packaged garbage 2. Easy cheese went out of style in the 90's and is gross 3. I don't care at all what anyone else says, I will eat a full box of Kraft Mac & Cheese by myself because I love it
I don't know if it's because I'm from the South or not but I was very offended by that cornbread. If you're not making it from scratch then Jiffy corn bread mix is a must and you eat it with butter and/or beans. LOTS of butter!!! 😁 😁 😁
I'm sitting here screaming at my laptop screen, "Where's the butter? You put butter on the cornbread!" I happened to have had cornbread muffins for breakfast this morning (just the muffins, six of them are enough for a meal) with plenty of butter. And why didn't their cornbread taste even a little sweet? Tasteless cornbread? Fire whoever cooked that.
Give them a hot plate stacked high with bbq brisket, turnip greens, and potato salad and they'd catch the next plane to America. I don't know why they gave them the bottom shelf version of all these foods. It'd be like me as an American being fed some store bought, assembly line prepped shepherd's pie and thinking that's what Irish people ate. Lucky for me my grandma brought back an original recipe from her travels and made it at our get togethers and hot damn I love some Shepherd's/Cottage Pie, it's so good.
Mmmm, mmmm, good!! Someone should let them try soul food!! Collard greens, mac and cheese, sweet potato pie and (dare I say) FRIED CHICKEN cooked by someone's grandma or auntie! THAT would be an interesting video!
Skyrim I'm still trying to see how any of this is relevant man. The point is they gave these poor Irish lads the shittiest possible versions of what they consider "American" food. However, since you brought it up, how did Native Americans create soul food when hogs, cows, and chickens were brought in? The natives had to hunt whatever game was available, Deer, Elk, Buffalo, various fishes, rabbits, squirrel, and ducks/birds. Where is your source for any of this? I'm 99% convinced your still trying to pull off a troll here, but I"m an open minded individual, hahaha. So convince me.
We don't actually eat spray cheese, but it's in every grocery store for some reason. I'm pretty sure most people think it's disgusting. I've personally never tried it.
+TheOwlsTyler - I've had it once or twice and am not crazy about it, but the only USE it really has is to get dogs to take medicine, get shots, happily hold still for blood draws, etc. Our vet uses it. They squeeze a little onto a tongue depressor and let the dog lick the cheese during or after whatever the icky procedure is. The dogs love this.

Those older cafeteria cooks know how to cook. I'm old and I grew up in the South. The cafeteria at school was staffed with older women.They all kept their hair up with bobby pins, and several wore cat-eye glasses. They made AMAZING yeast rolls, cornbread, and greens for us. I wish I could see them all again, and tell them. They're all probably in heaven now...
I put syrup on cornbread. My whole family does it that way. But apparently that's weird, because I've never seen anyone outside my family do it. I can't eat it any other way, except for putting jam on it. But never just butter plain.
If it's any consolation, there's plenty of Americans, myself included, who absolutely HATE the idea of packaging processed cheese in a spray can! If I go to my grave never having tried it, I surely won't miss it.
I agree, as an American I'm really picky. Although, I can agree that the cheesy spray should partly represent what we eat; many people I run into or go to school with do love cheese spray.
i dont know.. id try it if they sold it in my country. considering i prefer spraycan whipped cream over self made, i may have a thing for unnatural crap lol.
Hell, Americans don't like cheese-in-a-can, either. Kraft Dinner is pretty much crap too, unless you add something, or use it as a side dish. But it's pretty clear you were served some crap corn bread; bad corn bread is dry, bland, tasteless, and only fit to use as a construction block. *Good* corn bread is flavorful and delicious.
I love these videos, bur, c'mon, cornbread from a store bought mix? No one eats that! It's gotta be made from scratch. And, no one eats spray cheese in the US.
I've never had scratch-made cornbread. OR homemade mac & cheese. Both my parents actually worked all throughout my childhood and Kraft Mac & Cheese and Martha White Gladiola yellow cornbread were good enough. Even as I got my own career started and took over the cooking, the closest to homemade I'd get was tweaking the packaged cornbread mix to make it rise a little more, get it a little tastier, and put butter on top of the cornbread right when it was done so it could melt into the cornbread itself.
Oh man, that is so sad :(. My mom and dad worked too, and the boxed stuff was what we got from them too, except on the weekends, and when we visited our grandmother, who made everything from scratch. She was a great cook. ^_^ I miss her. and her food.
Lenny. Here's my question, why not eat the tablecloth with honey or butter instead? Anything at all is going to be better with butter and honey, is i not?
Niamh Ní Chonaill A table cloth doesn't have they rich, crumbly, fluffy texture of cornbread nor does it have the semi-sweet corn taste. Cornbread is only good when its made by momma, and its straight from the cast iron. Corn bread is also meant to be eaten with soups, stews, chili, or gumbo-ish dishes.
All these videos are so much fun....spent 3 hours on them...but could you please pick foods American's actually eat or, at least, the way they should be made.
Thank you.Exactly! They have the most unappetizing garbage. I think this is just an excuse for more Euro-snobbery. Give us a break Trump is the President and we've not even recovered from George W'. lol
If a can of cheeze, beef jerky, or Kraft Mac & Cheese (that stuck to the bowl when he turned it over; i.e., clearly old, or not cooked properly) are considered _Savoury_ American foods, then Spaghetti-O's are _Italian cuisine_ and Ramen noodles are a _luxurious Japanese dish._
On behalf of The USA I would like to apologize for the fact that you had to eat the boxed prepackaged version of these foods. Except easy cheese which had no real version.
+Luther Training Velveeta is made by craft. There really isn't that much of a difference between The Velveeta Shells and cheese and the Kraft Deluxe Mac n Cheese except one being more salty.
Rosy Lopez Right there with you! My picks for savory American foods to try would be, Southern cured ham, Fried Okra, Grits (as a joke, because we all know it's like wallpaper paste), Pulled pork BBQ and / or BBQ beans w/ bacon, Jalapeno Pinto Beans, Southern fried chicken
***** >.> These are the food (in the video) I see in my market and I wouldn't blame them for not liking them because they absolutely taste like crap. So quit being so juvenile and have to result with "the mom" jokes. No wonder people say americans are the biggest douchebags in the world. Wouldn't blame them since people like you exist.
Calling boxed mac and cheese and cornbread "American Foods" is a lot like calling gas station sushi "Japanese food" or Chef Boyardee "Italian food" It might be technically true on some level, but it's kinda misleading
Chef boyardee is so disgusting, I can't even doctor it up with herbs and spices it's that bad. every flavor is the exact same just made with different noodles or ravioli I could literally be starving to death and still could not force myself to eat more than a few bites. so terrible! Never Never eat chef boyardee if you value everything that is good in this world never eat that shit!
I am an american and I would not eat those processed foods either - homemade mac & cheese is great, and meat loaf is very good if it is made from fresh ground meat, homemade beef jerky is amazing (at least mine is) it should be more of a chew not leather... who doesn't like triscuits though? And until you have had some good homemade sweet southern corn bread don't knock it, not out of a mix either...
Andrew Saul I gave up farming at 14 which was the last summer I spent on my Grand Dad's farm. I still make my own cornbread, meatloaf, beef jerky, bbq, and biscuits. You don't have to be a farmer to eat decent food. You just need decent recipes.
some of these "foods" are better served as a complement rather than a sole dish. there is also some weird recipe choices made on their creation. meatloaf, add some ketchup or BBQ sauce, just a little. cornbread: add honey and it is a dresser, eat with meat loaf and it is a side, eat with a soup and it can act as a "mop" add sugar a little wheat and it is good on its own beef jerky: best to be chewed on for a while, good with cheddar. mac and cheese: I would have gone for Velveeta it is a bit more tasty. of course some cheddar, mozzarella, Gouda, and Parmesan are good cheeses and Maccheroni, Rotini or Conchiglie noddles would work too.
fuge 74, I agree with most of what you said. The only thing I'd say is, you should really make mac and cheese from scratch, and not eat processed stuff, especially for a first time tasting. Homemade mac and cheese is actually amazing. The processed stuff is fine if you have a night shift and wake up way too late, lol.
They made you try horrible processed food and called it savory? Btw, nobody ever eats cornbread by itself. You serve it warm and put butter and maybe honey on it and serve it with a good bean and ham soup. This taste test was just wrong on so many levels.
I eat it by itself, but then again, I think the BEST corn bread comes from Sonny's. It's SO good, it's got little bits of corn kernel in it, so you know it's made with real corn, and the flavor is just, mmm!
You do it all the time with mexican food, and even calling it gross. You should accept that american food is not as good as you think almost every sweet I've tried is extremely sweet. On the salty side there is a lot of that cheedar "cheese" crap, or buttery stuff and that's it. The best foods in US are the ones with foreign heritage.
Leah Rooney HEY! I'm not sure if you not knowing me qualifies as another thing I should trust you on. Maybe I DO know you...but I'm not going to believe it. No matter WHAT you say!
You have been misled about beef jerky. They gave you basically dollar store beef jerky there, it tastes like shit. Real good beef jerky is amazing. Visit a butcher, they're everywhere and all of them make beef jerky. In my experience, Polish beef jerky is the best. Also what the fuck those KD boxes are enormous! They're like a third the size in Canada...
I am British and have tried proper beef jerky its a lot nicer than that cheat stuff. I live in South Africa and here we have Biltong, its similarly made to beef jerky, but is usually a lot more savoury to jerky. Biltong is not cooked either. It's dried. Also Biltong has a lot of flavour varieties; Original, Chilli Chutney, Chilli, Garlic, Peppercorn, Teriyaki, Peri Peri, Apache, BBQ, Honey Soy, Tandoori, Lemon Pepper. I haven't even tried them all yet.
You dry things with air. You *cook* them with heat. Your comment is erroneous, because BAD jerky is dried (and cooked) at a low heat. Good stuff is just dried with air being blown by, much like a cool wind. No heat, no cooking, just preservation.
I feel wrongly represented as an American. Non of these ' foods ' were a meal of any kind (mac and cheese is not a main course). And nor where ANY of them ' savory '. Convenient yes, savory NOOOO. In order to eat anything in America and it be considered savory you need to find a restraint, NOT A FAST FOOD JOINT. Or have it made by scratch by someones mum. (who can cook that is..)
In terms of the word savoury all of these foods would fall under that category. They are using the word savoury to describe taste meaning the food is either salty or spicy and not sweet. It has nothing to do with being cooked in a restaurant or does not have to be compared to. Mums cooking. A slace of bread or bag of crisps can be categorised as savoury.
***** ...for myself...im not a lad...but i just happen to like Kakashi ..and well i love watching Naruto..but i go back and forth with whatever makes me smile....on a different site my avatar is tim curry in a girl scout uniform lol
I make my own beef jerky at home in a smoker or my dehydrator. Both taste light years better than that "stuff" they gave you guys, haha. Kraft Mac-n-Cheese, here in the states we call that "Broke Food"......because it's the only thing you can afford to eat if you are broke as hell next to Ramen Noodles and Hamburger Helper.....but now ground beef has gotten so expensive, that if you are broke......you are just having "helper" for dinner, haha:-). Meatloaf is great if home made and done properly- and served with a good beef gravy and mashed potatoes!
The mac n cheese was possibly the absolute worst example of the dish even in boxed form of it. Powdered cheese flavoring... people do eat this crap but not I.
Should've made some actual, non-packaged American food... maybe some from Louisiana where food is perfect. Real mac & cheese is also wayyyyyyyy better than boxed stuff.
Real cheese, sure, Sometimes. Feta, ok. Can't stand Gorgonzola or brie on ANYTHING... like I said, everyone has things they like and dislike and that's not the problem. It's what comparisons are all about. I do get a bit concerned that because they are not getting the real thing, that they get the wrong impression and don't want to try it the way it should be. Don't know who they talk to for this stuff, but whoever it is,this really isn't representative of the way we eat.
Actually, it would be French. As I know it, the French "remixed" pasta dishes from the Italians and came up with Mac & Cheese as a variation. Then Thomas Jefferson jacked them for the recipe and brought it Stateside. It may as well be our National Dish now.
I know it's been a year - but I have had bad beef jerky. Almost always though it is good. Granted, the "chewing your belt" concept is pretty dead on, in that, beef jerky is kind of based on that concept. I mean, you could eat a naturally cured leather belt if you had to. And that's the idea, it lasts for ages. Because it's a belt.
You're supposed to eat Corn Bread with A Huge Plate of Mustard Greens, Ham Hocks and if you're living high on the hog, about 3 huge helpings of chitterlings and hot sauce silly.... This is common knowledge in The Deep South! 😂😂😂
No! Corn bread should be home made and served with melted butter and honey! Meat loaf should be home made as well and cooked to have burned edges and served with ketchup! The boxed mac and cheese doesn't do the dosh justice! At least serve it with sausage. Who's in charge of this show?!
people getting offended because they didn't like the food or they used food you don't like or the wrong brand. ffs guys. instead of just attacking them for not knowing what american foods to use because guess what they're not freaking american why not just nicely make suggestions or send them food or something flipping constructive
They're not American. That's your excuse? It's malarkey. You don't need to be American to Google search recipes of American foods. This was just lazy. Instead of making proper dishes, they bought bottom of the barrel supermarket garbage.
They are following stereotypical and/or suggested foods (iv also seen actual american youtubers use half of these items). thats the point imo. I dont attack youtubers when they do 'british food' but iv never seen or heard of it. and im not on about all american comments, just the ones being verbally abusive. Its really not necessary for them to attack the channel.
John Shepard There's nothing wrong with them getting the supermarket stuff. I'm sure a nicer version might appeal more, but these are readily available.
But what is the point in creating a video with the worst versions of the food they can find. To make "American Savoury Foods" look like crap? Probably not, but that is the outcome. Put in a little effort, unless you call the video "cheap savoury crap we found at the dollar store in America". People do eat these trash versions, it's not like good though...
lol they're giving you the worst examples of our food and I love your reactions. I agree with you most of the time. Corn bread is made from scratch at my house and while it's still dry to the palette it's great to crumble a bit into bean soup. And it's good on its own hot from the oven with some excellent Irish butter! Yes, I spend a bit more to buy a superior product from your own dear Country. Our butter has been processed to the point that it tastes like wax.
"Amecian flavor which, of course, is freedom." Now that is a classic line. These videos are quickly becoming my favorites.
fearisreligion We quite like that one too!
+downunder diva I'm fairly aware that it was sarcastic. Thanks.
That fucker with the cabbage jokes gets me every time. lol
Also, you guys fucked up with the cornbread. Yellow cornbread is for bullshit munchers. Real cornbread-loving people go white cornbread, because that yellow shit tastes more like dessert. Plus, you didn't even butter it.
+Bob Papadopoulos true that cornbread in the video looked like cake
+Bob Papadopoulos my mom's recipe is yellow corn and it's fairly unsweetened. I have added a little sugar in once or twice which can be nice. I've never tried white.
You definitely have to butter. Butter is what makes the bread!
+Bob Papadopoulos I put honey on my cornbread as well as butter
+Bob Papadopoulos well scratch made corn bread is easy to make and way better also
If only they were given homemade cornbread, the packaged cornbread is crap.
Ok:
1. I'm not really a cornbread person but even I know that homemade cornbread is so much better than packaged garbage
2. Easy cheese went out of style in the 90's and is gross
3. I don't care at all what anyone else says, I will eat a full box of Kraft Mac & Cheese by myself because I love it
Renee Hoenicke Kraft Mac and cheese is just so nostalgic!
Why dont you quit whining and start your own channel? You might not eat the shit but plenty of other people do

Yeah, but we all still recognize all of it as at least somewhat legitimate and after the last three videos that's all I can ask for.

Right! Scratch with Martha White or Jiffy mix if you are in a hurry.

My mom would lay strips of bacon over the top of her meatloaf, it was delicious.
dear irish people... please for the love of God do not think something from a bag is quality cornbread. if its dry its wrong.
+Mr. Boarbaby All cornbread is dry by itself. You have to have butter and they weren't given any. Not surprised by their reaction.

If a can of cheeze, beef jerky, or Kraft Mac & Cheese (that stuck to the bowl when he turned it over; i.e., clearly old, or not cooked properly) are considered _Savoury_ American foods, then Spaghetti-O's are _Italian cuisine_ and Ramen noodles are a _luxurious Japanese dish._
In Ireland and the UK "savoury" just means salty rather than sweet, as in "What kind of snack would you like, sweet or savoury?"
Specifically instant ramen, some ramen is really expensive and stuff

+Facts. Yes a part two would be great. Not all Americans eat that instant crap you gave those poor souls. Though I do love your show.
YES PLEASE REMAKE THIS WITH VELVEETA
Most of this is very cheap, unsustainable stuff. I wouldn't even consider any of this actual food.
+Luther Training Velveeta is made by craft. There really isn't that much of a difference between The Velveeta Shells and cheese and the Kraft Deluxe Mac n Cheese except one being more salty.
Savoury American food?
Squeeze spray cheese , beef jerky & meatloaf ???
Dear lord I'm american & i despise all 3 of those
And apparently you represent all of America
Rosy Lopez Right there with you!
My picks for savory American foods to try would be, Southern cured ham, Fried Okra, Grits (as a joke, because we all know it's like wallpaper paste), Pulled pork BBQ and / or BBQ beans w/ bacon, Jalapeno Pinto Beans, Southern fried chicken
lachlann o fionnain She does. I am american myself.
Rosy Lopez then you sir are a communist pig. he who does not like macaroni and cheese is a person not fit to live.
Rosy Lopez Sucks for you. You must not be a true American.
`Food is a stupid obligation.` man i`m so glad i dont feel that way lol
I mean, we now know that eating food takes away from his time to sexually harass women, so that's probably why he hates it.
@@ct6410 wait what??
I miss curly and leather jacket man. Such a great team.
"American flavor... Of course is freedom." LOL! I couldn't stop laughing.

It's Irish buzzfeed

Shout out from California, USA. Love these videos and you guys. I wish I was there to explain and eat with you haha.
Being honest isn't a crime, nothing to be offended as long as it isn't discriminatory; everyone's taste bud is different. So chill Americans.
*****
>.> These are the food (in the video) I see in my market and I wouldn't blame them for not liking them because they absolutely taste like crap. So quit being so juvenile and have to result with "the mom" jokes. No wonder people say americans are the biggest douchebags in the world. Wouldn't blame them since people like you exist.
I didn't realize that jerky was so weird to the rest of the world until I started watching videos like these
Leather jacket guy is so unapologetic about cabbage i love it
Calling boxed mac and cheese and cornbread "American Foods" is a lot like calling gas station sushi "Japanese food" or Chef Boyardee "Italian food"
It might be technically true on some level, but it's kinda misleading
Chef Boy R Dee was created by a real Italian chef Chef Boardi and was probably alot better then although I like it now!
ikr!
Chef boyardee is so disgusting, I can't even doctor it up with herbs and spices it's that bad. every flavor is the exact same just made with different noodles or ravioli I could literally be starving to death and still could not force myself to eat more than a few bites. so terrible! Never Never eat chef boyardee if you value everything that is good in this world never eat that shit!
@@rachelthomas7297 Never had it until college and when I first tried it it was so disappointing. Tastes like dog shit
I agree!!! Packaged is nothing like home made
should've just given them those chili cheese fries from the opening pic...they Woulda loved those
they give you the worst forms of these foods
I am an american and I would not eat those processed foods either - homemade mac & cheese is great, and meat loaf is very good if it is made from fresh ground meat, homemade beef jerky is amazing (at least mine is) it should be more of a chew not leather... who doesn't like triscuits though? And until you have had some good homemade sweet southern corn bread don't knock it, not out of a mix either...
Not everyone's a farmer you bitch
Lol alrighty then... Ya got some issues...
Andrew Saul Not everyone eats processed shit.
Andrew Saul I gave up farming at 14 which was the last summer I spent on my Grand Dad's farm. I still make my own cornbread, meatloaf, beef jerky, bbq, and biscuits. You don't have to be a farmer to eat decent food. You just need decent recipes.
Moreththerogue Exactly.
It looks like prison meatloaf, or the school lunches you get when your parents were mad at you and don't bother preparing it.
Always add sugar or honey to your cornbread mix.
With a pad of real butter and a plate of speckled butter beans.
some of these "foods" are better served as a complement rather than a sole dish. there is also some weird recipe choices made on their creation.
meatloaf, add some ketchup or BBQ sauce, just a little.
cornbread: add honey and it is a dresser, eat with meat loaf and it is a side, eat with a soup and it can act as a "mop" add sugar a little wheat and it is good on its own
beef jerky: best to be chewed on for a while, good with cheddar.
mac and cheese: I would have gone for Velveeta it is a bit more tasty. of course some cheddar, mozzarella, Gouda, and Parmesan are good cheeses and Maccheroni, Rotini or Conchiglie noddles would work too.
fuge 74, I agree with most of what you said. The only thing I'd say is, you should really make mac and cheese from scratch, and not eat processed stuff, especially for a first time tasting. Homemade mac and cheese is actually amazing. The processed stuff is fine if you have a night shift and wake up way too late, lol.
Good home made Corn Bread is the best, get some Collard greens with a healthy dose of apple cider singer and that is the best stuff in the world.
They made you try horrible processed food and called it savory? Btw, nobody ever eats cornbread by itself. You serve it warm and put butter and maybe honey on it and serve it with a good bean and ham soup. This taste test was just wrong on so many levels.
I eat it by itself, but then again, I think the BEST corn bread comes from Sonny's. It's SO good, it's got little bits of corn kernel in it, so you know it's made with real corn, and the flavor is just, mmm!
You do it all the time with mexican food, and even calling it gross. You should accept that american food is not as good as you think almost every sweet I've tried is extremely sweet. On the salty side there is a lot of that cheedar "cheese" crap, or buttery stuff and that's it. The best foods in US are the ones with foreign heritage.
@@pitaariel1920 what are you talking about? Who said Mexican food was gross?
nani i eat cornbread by itself...
Pita Ariel you’re wrong on many levels friend
I just really like their accents...

After watching a whole bunch of, "Irish people try _____" my question is, Do they like ANYTHING?"
Trust me we do.Its just they never cook it right

Fine, I'll trust you, but just this ONE TIME!
If you ask me to trust you another time after this I won't! So don't ask!

Instant Mac and cheese after a night of drinking is heaven.
“It wasn’t that good the first time then the MSG kicked in”😂😂😂
I'll cook you a proper meat loaf and for fuck sakes real corn bread
IKR? i make good meatloaf that was shite! lol =)
well.. meatloaf when done right is pretty damn good. regardless of where you come from. bad meatloaf on the other hand.. is .. well.. bad. lol.
Very very true... it gives Us good loaf makers a bad name! =) I wouldn't want to think i'd serve anyone a gray loaf lookin thing lol
my mom homemade it always with a bit of sugar to give it a sweet taste.
Exactly! Or maybe a good chili with the cornbread.
Man, I need to move to Ireland. So many beautiful redheads.
littlesmew I'm irish and 'red heads' are not very common
That's not how we make cornbread (in the south at least) that Betty Crocker stuff is garbage!
Cornbread out of a package??? NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!! You make it from scratch or not at all.
That's like when ppl use the microwave to make potato bread 🤢🤮I've never seen it done but I can just imagine the taste
LOL I honestly don't know ANYONE who eats cheese in a can.
Ikr. I don't know how they're still in business.
Alexandra Jackson I had that really weird semester in high school.... I ate a disgusting amount of the stuff.
Alexandra Jackson XD I know, American and NOT trying that one
Taryn S it's made by kraft foods...they make a lot more than cheese in a can. also it's friggin amazing! xD
Kewl Beans Ugh...
put some butter on that cornbread.
And some honey.
and don't use the premade package mix :'(
Yes! Or dip it into chili or soup!
***** take this L x)
You have been misled about beef jerky. They gave you basically dollar store beef jerky there, it tastes like shit. Real good beef jerky is amazing. Visit a butcher, they're everywhere and all of them make beef jerky. In my experience, Polish beef jerky is the best.
Also what the fuck those KD boxes are enormous! They're like a third the size in Canada...
I am British and have tried proper beef jerky its a lot nicer than that cheat stuff. I live in South Africa and here we have Biltong, its similarly made to beef jerky, but is usually a lot more savoury to jerky. Biltong is not cooked either. It's dried. Also Biltong has a lot of flavour varieties; Original, Chilli Chutney, Chilli, Garlic, Peppercorn, Teriyaki, Peri Peri, Apache, BBQ, Honey Soy, Tandoori, Lemon Pepper. I haven't even tried them all yet.
Teth47 i think its a multipack
You dry things with air. You *cook* them with heat. Your comment is erroneous, because BAD jerky is dried (and cooked) at a low heat. Good stuff is just dried with air being blown by, much like a cool wind. No heat, no cooking, just preservation.
did anybody notice that this is not American beef jerky but 'American Style' Estonian beef jerky?
Teth47 all about deer jerky 👌👌
I loved watching the kid come out with the cheese whiz!
I feel wrongly represented as an American.
Non of these ' foods ' were a meal of any kind (mac and cheese is not a main course).
And nor where ANY of them ' savory '.
Convenient yes, savory NOOOO.
In order to eat anything in America and it be considered savory you need to find a restraint, NOT A FAST FOOD JOINT. Or have it made by scratch by someones mum.
(who can cook that is..)
Meatloaf is definitely savory.
Yea, maybe. Depending on who cooks it meat loaf can taste bland and dry.
Relax
In terms of the word savoury all of these foods would fall under that category. They are using the word savoury to describe taste meaning the food is either salty or spicy and not sweet. It has nothing to do with being cooked in a restaurant or does not have to be compared to. Mums cooking. A slace of bread or bag of crisps can be categorised as savoury.
MyMissionForAmbition most chips are salty.. Buy yea I'm being a tad nit picky, I agree with ya on the terminology in general.
+1
That was corn bread MIX. I agree that it sucks and isn't very flavorful but homemade corn bread is amazing
honestly. my mom puts some yellow cake mix in and it tastes so fluffy and sweet, its so good with spicy chili
Just an American passing by, laughing at all these comments left by easily offended Americans lol
I love the "need a bit of cabbage" guy!!!
oh my god I'm not from the south but at least give them proper cornbread!
I ship them! Ya'll know who i'm talkin bout.
hahahaha "wasn't that good to begin with, but then the msg kicked in"
Lolsy reading the mac and cheese box gave me Buffy vibes. ❤
where was the ketchup for the meatloaf!?!
If it came in a package, it ain't cornbread.
I agree with these opinions (hate spray cheese and beef jerkey), but ya gotta eat cornbread with butter!
I have a lot of friends who like it (I'm from KY), but it's not my bag. If we all liked the same things, food would be boring
I love when they do American accents. It think it's the cutest!
what's up with the guys love for cabbage :/
As i'm Irish it still confuses me how someone can like cabbage so much....then again i'm completely against vegetables lol
Lord Kenyon
nooooo..its so yummy!..sorry dont mind me.im crave'n some popeyes chicken right now..

This should be titled "Irish People Taste Test Savoury American Packaged Foods That Are A Million Times Better Homemade"
Literally chose bad cornbread.
Lindsey Nicole JIFFY is the answer
I would have the same reactions as the long dark haired guy with the moustache who looks like one of the three musketeers. Love him! 😂😂
The corn bread is not even cooked, AND WERE IS THE FUCKING BUTTER
Hot buttered cornbread is the bomb! Or cornbread crumbled up in sweet milk!
Michelle Henninghaus actual butter? or margarine?
I've met people who have never tasted butter. have you ever bought butter? or just hydrogenated oil?
Yeah, they didn't like it cuz it was shit cornbread.
Amin Jones Real butter. Texas farm girl here.

I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since this video blessed our screens
You guys really need to start using better quality food.
Tyler Judge well the title of the video is testing *american* food so...
Literally the entire point was the cheap quality
That rockstar-looking guy in the leather jacket is hilarious. He's one of my favorites. 😂
As a southern, that is NOT cornbread.
+Daveyog No kidding!!! That crap looked atrocious!!! In the parlance of our heritage, "That dog don't hunt!"
Totally agree, someone needs to airmail them some jiffy mix, or a scratch recipe.
AllMyHobbies AreExpensive2 Yes!!! Jiffy to the rescue!!!
Lmao 😂😂😂😂 Jerky "it's like chewing your belt" 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I make my own beef jerky at home in a smoker or my dehydrator. Both taste light years better than that "stuff" they gave you guys, haha. Kraft Mac-n-Cheese, here in the states we call that "Broke Food"......because it's the only thing you can afford to eat if you are broke as hell next to Ramen Noodles and Hamburger Helper.....but now ground beef has gotten so expensive, that if you are broke......you are just having "helper" for dinner, haha:-). Meatloaf is great if home made and done properly- and served with a good beef gravy and mashed potatoes!
StormLaker1975 I agree, the meatloaf they served up looked dry as hell.........
Man with deer meat
No u mean College Food
No one eats that crap 😂 appreciate your opinions. 👍🏽
You must be no one then
Jay Chap Someone makes it because someone eats it. Any country that make sht like that canned "cheese" has already self-destructed
The mac n cheese was possibly the absolute worst example of the dish even in boxed form of it. Powdered cheese flavoring... people do eat this crap but not I.
Should've made some actual, non-packaged American food... maybe some from Louisiana where food is perfect. Real mac & cheese is also wayyyyyyyy better than boxed stuff.
Real cheese, sure, Sometimes. Feta, ok. Can't stand Gorgonzola or brie on ANYTHING... like I said, everyone has things they like and dislike and that's not the problem. It's what comparisons are all about. I do get a bit concerned that because they are not getting the real thing, that they get the wrong impression and don't want to try it the way it should be. Don't know who they talk to for this stuff, but whoever it is,this really isn't representative of the way we eat.
Danni Shadow real Mac and cheese would be Italian
I never said it wasn't. A lot of "American food" isn't really American. But hell, if you're going to show off American food, show the good stuff.
Actually, it would be French.
As I know it, the French "remixed" pasta dishes from the Italians and came up with Mac & Cheese as a variation. Then Thomas Jefferson jacked them for the recipe and brought it Stateside. It may as well be our National Dish now.
And the Italians got pasta from the Chinese.
I would love to go to Ireland ♡♡♡
Boxed macaroni and cheese is pretty bad, and I don't like that spray can of "cheese" either, but beef jerky is always good.
I know it's been a year - but I have had bad beef jerky.
Almost always though it is good.
Granted, the "chewing your belt" concept is pretty dead on, in that, beef jerky is kind of based on that concept.
I mean, you could eat a naturally cured leather belt if you had to. And that's the idea, it lasts for ages.
Because it's a belt.
NO ONE eats corn bread like that! Here in the Midwest we eat it with honey and butter!
ashipnerd offical same in Idaho. Mostly just butter.
Yeah we get a shit ton of butter, poke some small holes in the bread, then pour the melted butter over it with a drizzle of honey.
You're supposed to eat Corn Bread with A Huge Plate of Mustard Greens, Ham Hocks and if you're living high on the hog, about 3 huge helpings of chitterlings and hot sauce silly....
This is common knowledge in The Deep South! 😂😂😂
You're supposed to put butter and honey on corn bread. Then heat it up. That's why it wasn't very good.
This is the most rural American thing of me to say but triscuits + summer sausage is a goated combo
No! Corn bread should be home made and served with melted butter and honey! Meat loaf should be home made as well and cooked to have burned edges and served with ketchup! The boxed mac and cheese doesn't do the dosh justice! At least serve it with sausage. Who's in charge of this show?!
"go to the gym, bring your cheese on the go" lmao
people getting offended because they didn't like the food or they used food you don't like or the wrong brand. ffs guys. instead of just attacking them for not knowing what american foods to use because guess what they're not freaking american why not just nicely make suggestions or send them food or something flipping constructive
They're not American. That's your excuse? It's malarkey. You don't need to be American to Google search recipes of American foods. This was just lazy. Instead of making proper dishes, they bought bottom of the barrel supermarket garbage.
They are following stereotypical and/or suggested foods (iv also seen actual american youtubers use half of these items). thats the point imo. I dont attack youtubers when they do 'british food' but iv never seen or heard of it. and im not on about all american comments, just the ones being verbally abusive. Its really not necessary for them to attack the channel.
Hayley Sherwood I'm American & I agree. These are clearly foods that are foreign to them and familiar to us. That's the basic assignment.
John Shepard There's nothing wrong with them getting the supermarket stuff. I'm sure a nicer version might appeal more, but these are readily available.
But what is the point in creating a video with the worst versions of the food they can find. To make "American Savoury Foods" look like crap? Probably not, but that is the outcome. Put in a little effort, unless you call the video "cheap savoury crap we found at the dollar store in America". People do eat these trash versions, it's not like good though...
I'm from Idaho and these American food videos are hilarious!
How could you not like Mac and cheese? Let's be honest here.
***** i like home made :)) and yeah truuuuu
+HiThereImAdrian Why would anyone like that?
+HiThereImAdrian I don't think it was cooked right. It shouldn't defy gravity like it did.
+HiThereImAdrian Easy, when you mess up the directions, and make a brick of under cooked Macaroni.
I don't think they made it right mac and cheese is only good if u add milk and butter which would make it creamy theirs look stuck together and dry
lol they're giving you the worst examples of our food and I love your reactions. I agree with you most of the time. Corn bread is made from scratch at my house and while it's still dry to the palette it's great to crumble a bit into bean soup. And it's good on its own hot from the oven with some excellent Irish butter! Yes, I spend a bit more to buy a superior product from your own dear Country. Our butter has been processed to the point that it tastes like wax.
My cornbread isn't dry.
These are not American savory foods
just because you don't eat it, that doesn't means its not american savoury foods
This is more American convenience store foods.
On the go cheese and the first place thought to bring it is the gym,,, Absolutely. Brilliant
