- In this video Larry the American reacts to the UK vs US McDonalds Food Wars. Its quite interesting to see the difference for McDonald's when it comes to the UK vs US. From what I can tell, the UK seems to be a bit more health friendly when it comes to ingredients as well as portion sizes.

Thank You So Much for Watching! See you Soon!
Watching this while Eating McDonald’s leftovers from yesterday 😂
😭😭😂😂
YOLO
If you go to Mac Donald's over there in the US, I feel sorry for your stomach. (That's a lot of Poison)
😭😭😭 you’re not wrong!
Bear in mind this is well over a year old by now - the veggi burger is so much better than the one shown here for UK McDonalds.. plus they have a rotating menu of stuff every few months or so. So the speciality burgers change.
Good to know. Ours been pretty much the same for years except the prices 😭😭
I’m a vegetarian, don’t like the spicy burger. But have to say the vegan burgers are alright. They do tend to come back on you a bit tho🤨😂💙🏴
It's TEN months ago!!
Your pancakes and our idea of pancakes are different. Plus, the Brits are generally adversed to putting meat in pancakes. We do have breakfast muffins with sausage, bacon and egg in them, but that's limited until 11am, so you gotta get it early in the morning or wait until the next day
Breakfast Muffins? 20 years of Tory rule! ;)
Biscuits, meaning,
twice cooked. Obviously whoever called them cookies, was an ignoramus.
I read or was told Mcdonalds staff are taught to pinch the fries box at the bottom to make the box smaller, however if you complain your fries arent full they'll top them up for you (i have, they did)
Wow!
Anyway they can they try to get you
This is true for the UK.
Try asking for no ice in your cold fizzy drink - almost brings the servery to a standstill! Why?
Because they can't rip you off by putting FAR LESS actual drink in the cup!
The thing with the McGriddle is our palates in the UK do not really favour putting sweet things together with savoury things like meat etc. kinda like having pineapple on pizza's.
Ah yes that makes sense!
Watching Yanks put sweet & savoury on the same plate like their version of sweet pancakes often with maple syrup alongside sausages makes me gip. 🤢
It's disgusting!
I find that on the rare occasions I go to Mac's how full your fries sleeve is depends on WHERE, the TIME, how busy the place and WHO fills them.
They didn't cover the UK breakfast menu - mcmuffin with bacon, sausage, egg & hash brown. Delicious!
Yeah we have those.. I’m honestly not a huge fan of McMuffins
You can get different combinations of the mcmuffin as well
Vile!
Your McDonald’s is actively trying to kill you lol
And succeeding!
@@JustAverageLarry :(
USA Only!!? Thank God. 😂😂😂. That’s a Mac-heart attack in a box.
😭😭😭💀
I guess it’s what your used too. I’ve lived in both countries, cannot eat at the US Mac Donald’s , the additives make me ill. I will never understand why any business needs to add all those chemicals into food.
Honestly it’s insane how much crap they add to their food! Very upsetting!
Pancakes are not a thing in the UK where it comes to being a breakfast food. We generally only have them as deserts (generally as a tradition on pancake day) and even then the toppings are usually lemon juice and sugar with maybe some whipped cream if you are being fancy. Also to us the idea of having things like sausage at the same time as maple syrup sounds absolutely gross. Also when your ingredients list goes on longer than the intro crawl from a Star Wars movie there is something deeply wrong with your food culture (and that's just the fries).
So when do yall eat them? Lol
lol
@@JustAverageLarry "pancake day", the day before Christian lent begins (they fast for 40 days up until Easter day). Not sure how many people actually practice the fasting. It's obviously not illegal to have pancakes on any other day, but I think most people reserve them for that one day. We have an abundant choice of desserts, so pancakes don't really cross our minds until that one day comes around.
@@JustAverageLarrywe rarely eat them 😅
😅😅😅
UK McDonalds listen up... please please please bring back the McRib burger. Ow great video, I'm surprised you haven't done a taste testing different World foods.
We don't really do pancakes for breakfast over in the UK, no call for a McGriddle here. Most people here eat crepe pancakes on Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday - The day before the first day of Lent) but not really any other time.
People do get pancakes from macdonalds for breakfast. Obviously not as common as a mcmuffin though
You need to come to Yorkshire for some PROPER, i.e. meat & potato NOT corned beef, hash on pancakes - preferably with Henderson's. Pancakes ARE NOT only for Lent!!
Over 9k Subs! Well done sir! Well earnt!!!
Thanks my friend! Pushing to ten!
"Donut sticks"? Aren't they just churros?
The best way to decribe cookies and biscuits is, chocolate chip cookies are cookies, obviously. I always say biscuits are the ones u can dip in tea and coffee, that would be a digestive, or a shortbread biscuit, look up foxes biscuit tins.
They’re all cookies to me! 😂😂😭
@@JustAverageLarry lmao, it is weird, I don't understand why we call things differently when theyre all basically the same thing 🤣
I'd keep away from all McDonald's wherever you are in the world. Food that doesn't decompose after being left for several years doesn't sound like food to me.
Agreed!
The breakfast stuff is muffins in the uk
Wow didnt know American French fries are not vegetarian lol good job i watched your awsome vid ❤ keep up the great content 😄
Thank you! Will do!!
@@JustAverageLarry
Until Burger King began making in-roads into the UK market McD's fries weren't even made from POTATO! 😡
One of BK's earliest ad campaigns promo-ed their fries as being '100% potato' Obviously leading to the question:-
"What else do you make them from?"
Making McD's to admit theirs were made from cornstarch 🤬🤬🤬
Mac D’s in the UK will do a - taste the world -
Where they’ll sell let’s say they call it a Brazilian burger for a few weeks the next will be the Texas burger (I’m making names up) but they’ll advertise all the burgers at once that’s to try (eventually) but they’ll only deal with the one style at a time then move on to the next dropping the previous one which is pretty cool plus we do have a breakfast menu but come 9am or 10am it’s back to normal menu….
12:46 whipped cream and jam and it’s not very common
Ewww lol
@@JustAverageLarry nah it's really nice on Scones
Yes, more like Tate & Lyles Golden Syrup or lemon & sugar…..who puts whipped cream on their pancakes? I use maple syrup & lemon sometimes.
Oh and clotted cream only on scones, please…..whipped cream? Where are you from? You’d be lynched in Cornwall. 😂
@@SuperDebyO lol, I'm from South Yorkshire
The BIG TASTY should be on the menu 24/7 best burger Maccy D’s ever created , it maybe around $10 bucks and $15 bucks for the meal but hell yeah it messy but 👌
I forgot about the Big Tasty!
So what you call cookies in the US, we call biscuits in the UK, tho we do still say cookie when referring to stuff like chocolate chip. Your biscuits don't really exist here but scones are kinda similar, but like he said, they're usually eaten with clotted cream and jam as part of a cream tea. Oh and the cream goes on first, don't listen to those Cornish heathens.
😂😂😂 noted!
@@JustAverageLarry You should definitely look into afternoon tea in the UK. In fact, the video I watched right before this one was another American reacting to exactly that
@@wallythewondercorncake8657 I’ll give it a look! 😉
Cornish woman here……jam first!! 😂 I spent part of my life in Canada, so pancakes & maple syrup for breakfast was something we used to have. These days I do things like marmite on toast with jam on top, my version of sweet and sour taste. 😉
@@SuperDebyO God created the Tamar to protect humanity from your kind. The invention of boats was unfortunate
a cookie is a type of biscuit
Yeah not so much over here lol
I'd rather have the 3 burgers than the shake!
😂😂 me too!
The thought of putting meat with sweet pancakes doesn't appeal to us sorry. Our biscuits we dunk in our cuppa tea. Eg You have Oreos in US. We do have plain or cheese scones they would be similar to ur biscuits
It’s so good though!!
In the UK we have the McDonald’s pancakes served at Breakfast with maple syrup but not made into a sandwich with sausage or bacon or anything.
Yeah we have them too.. they call them hot cakes.. the McGriddles came much later
Never, ever, seen them on a menu/being ordered and/or eaten
I miss the chicken legend. Best quality food you could get from Maccies
People get shot in Maple Syrup country the stuff is that valuable! It's not easy to get the real thing in the UK
Damn that’s crazy! 😭
Don't know where you're shopping but I could take you to where you can buy THE REAL THING right now. But then this is Yorkshire and we get the best 😅
New Subscriber - love your thing m8
Welcome aboard! Thank you for subbing!
Somebody should do one comparing Burger King from US and UK. I will go to Burger King in preference to McTasteless every time. Only time I go to Maccies is when with family who have annoying kids 😂
Haha that’s fair. I didn’t know Burger King was there.
I defo used to prefer BK but the last time I went to one will be THE LAST time. TOTAL TASTELESS RIP-OFF.
This is why I wasn't keen on mcdonald's when we visited last year.
Sorry folks, uk is better for taste, BUT your portion sizes are amazing, wish we did your size portions 😢
Yeah they are big lol
@@JustAverageLarry I'm even jealous that they do refill stations over in Florida, uk need to be more like you guys 😉
@@sammysallis3590 wait yall don’t get refills? 😬
@@JustAverageLarry hell no, we just get the one drink 🙄
You guys get the best deal, we get scraps 😂.
@@sammysallis3590 wow.. now that is shocking
The British Police are very laid back so are the irish Gardai but if your a serious crime officers you will be going down
What you’d call cookies we call biscuits, we also have cookies but that refers to just cookies and things like Kitkats are called biscuits
That's a bad example to give because it brings on the is a kitkat, a biscuit, or a chocolate bar? Lol
@@illumindonnaughty I’m so confused 😭😂
So what are “just cookies” lol
@@JustAverageLarry biscuits with chocolate chips in them.
@@illumindonnaughty so chocolate chip cookies 😭😂😂
Just so you understand what you in North America call cookies like Oreo’s, we in the UK call biscuits. The closest things we have to your biscuits are Scones, but they are very different and should be eaten with clotted cream and jam.
Scones are not loved w cream and jam and idk why. Justin Timberlake said that and he near had his head taken off on the graham norton show 🤣
Also Oreos are called cookies here in the uk. The best way to decribe cookies and biscuits is, chocolate chip cookies are cookies, obviously. I always say, to make it easy, biscuits are the ones u can dip in tea and coffee, that would be a digestive, or a shortbread biscuit, look up foxes biscuit tins.
@@rHamUK I don’t know anyone here in the UK who would call Oreo’s cookies.
🤢🤢
I know 😭😭😭
I almost never eat at McDonald's. Just YESTERDAY I got a Fillet O Fish. Not the same. It was so small! Lolol After watching this, it makes me glad the government won't allow that junk in the fries. The reason I don't go to Mickey D's here is because there are no refills on my Diet Cokes. Curry sauce would be because Indian food is H U G E here. Cookies are called biscuits here. No scones at lunch Lar. It's a treat, like cake and coffee, but it's scones and tea. This was funny! They are just as fat here! ❤ Love, Chi Town in England
Hey Hey! Happy to have you here! Thanks for the breakdown!
@@JustAverageLarry HeeeyI get homesick for my peeps. Glad I found you! You just popped up! I got both sides, fer reals. Lolol They ain't just tea todlers here. Lol
