We have “cider” in the States, but we refer to it as hard cider. This means it’s been fermented and has alcohol. One brand that is very popular is Angry Orchard. If you just say apple cider it will be non-alcoholic, essentially just apple juice.
Cider in the US is freshly made apple juice; it is more tart than canned or bottled apple juice which is pastuerized
Merrill Quintrell love me some Angry Orchard....mmmmmmmmm 🤤
They have better cider over there I’ve had it
I grew up where farms made and sold non hard cider, refreshing, sweet with a bit of tartness. In the last few years they by law have to pasteurize it. Takes out the cloudiness and best parts, more like Apple juice now. 😟
Juice is filteted, pasteurized, and usually concentrated. Cider isn't.
What you call “cider,” we call “hard cider” or “alcoholic cider.”
The reason is that during Prohibition in the 1920s, the word “cider” cane to mean a non-alcoholic, unfiltered form of apple juice. If you don’t refrigerate apple cider, it will quickly ferment.
So don't refrigerate it!
Im American. I just call it cider.
Not just hard cider, Apple cider is what hard cider is made from. Apple cider is usually served warm Starbucks has a cider caramel drink in the Fall
Joel & Lia: Americans don’t have cider.
Me: Grew up 10 miles away from the Angry Orchard orchard and has a dozen ciders in her New York refrigerator... (we call it hard cider).
Ask for cider in the U.S. And you usually get non alcoholic apple juice, or even hot(!) apple juice. I must have gone to the wrong places for 'hard' cider.
The American version of HP “brown” sauce is A1.
That was what I was thinking when they described it.
epalshiva yess that explains it
Except A1 tastes good. HP is terrible.
Shana Thompson A1 tastes like the HP fruity sauce. It’s a bit sweeter than the original version.
OK sauce, A1 sauce and Daddy's Favourite Sauce were all developed as ripoff brands of HP. Cream Sponge cakes can use clotted cream
The US has many ciders, ones with alcohol we call "hard cider". You can even purchase Strongbow in many places in the US.
I find Strongbow too sweet; it tastes like soda pop to me.
CNVideos what’s soda pop ? It’s either Soda , Pop or Soft Drink 😬
Strongbow is my favorite, I have no trouble finding it in Iowa.
I like Magner’s cider. Apple and/or Pear.
Look up Noble cider out of Asheville, NC. OMGoooooood so good!!
Cider, we call it Hard Cider when there is alcohol in it . Take care
Prawn cocktail is Shrimp cocktail in the US, and it's the sauce in a Martini glass with shrimp/prawns around the rim of the glass. Hence "cocktail."
though their rose sauce doesn't sound like cocktaill sauce which is ketchup, horseradish, worchester sauce, and lemon.
Yeah it’s exactly the same thing. We just call Shrimps Prawns in the UK. Prawn cocktail used to be the height of sophistication at a 1970s dinner party lol. Now it’s better known for being a crisp flavour.
@@CloudslnMyCoffee Marie Rose sauce is normally tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and black pepper. I have seen variations which include brandy, tobasco or cayenne pepper but the bare minimum (if you're desperate) is ketchup and mayonnaise.
My family had apple trees. They made cider from it, allowed it to ferment into hard cider. Over winter, they would would freeze it, pour off the liquid, and repeat to essentially distill it to remove the water. This turns cider into a hard liquor, called Apple Jack.
You should do American foods you wouldn’t find in the uk
ranch!!!!! i found ONE brand of ranch dressing in my 5 months of living in england. it was a rough time
🙄
GN Sports Yep, Brits are crying out for growth hormone injected meat, chlorine washed chicken, antibiotic laden beef, fresh fruit and vegetables sprayed with pesticides and herbicides that have been banned in Europe for years, not to mention children's sweets containing additives banned here because they are known to cause cancer but which are permitted in the US because they were on sale before the bans came in. Yummy.
proper bacon.
Spencer Wilton you make it sound like everything is bad. I’m sure there are quite a few things available in the US that Brits might enjoy. Otherwise don’t come over here on vacation and go out to eat. Bring all your own food. 🙄
In large cities, like San Francisco where I live, there are British stores that have everything you mentioned.
I live in the Bay Area too. What’s the store called? I have to go
Chicago, too. English, Irish, even Scottish. We're lucky!
Los Angeles used to have the Continental Shop which carried British goods, but I heard that they closed down a few years ago.
briiana510 I think it’s called Roxie Deli. It’s on the corner of Kirkham and 9th Ave!
The one I always go to in the South Bay is called Australian Products CO. Despite the name, they sell British stuff too. My mom & I did a food haul there for stuff to eat while watching Kate & Will’s wedding years ago. I also hit up Cost Plus World Market but the selection is not massive if you’re looking for British exclusive goods.
It's normally called "hard" cider. Just a note, as a child my grandparents would get freshly squeezed apple cider and it was so much better and different than store bought and was normally purchased at the roadside. Now white claw, a "hard" seltzer, is very popular.
We were planning a trip to UK this summer- so sad we had to cancel. I have a list of foods to eat while there. This made me miss it even more! One of our fav things to do is go into a grocery store and buy a bunch of things we've never seen. Such fun! Thanks you guys!
Hi Joel & Lia! I was curious about Walker & Lays & googled it. What I found is that Walker was invented in 1948 UK & became a UK staple.in 1989 Pepsi bought Walker & changed the name to Lays. I'm guessing because of how important te name is to the UK that's why they didn't chang it there 🤔
Lays and Walkers originally two different companies until Pepsi merged with Frito-Lay then bought Walkers. They “probably “look the same to save on cost and familiarity but Walkers are thicker with more flavors.
Frito-Lays started as 2 separate companies in the 1930s that merged in 1961. It became a subsidiary of the PepsiCo in 1965. Walkers was found in 1948 and was the leading crisp brand in the UK when PepsiCo purchased it in 1989. They changed the logo, but kept the name due to its popularity.
@@jeanbennett202 and ruined them
@@DamnedDave did they? That's a shame. They should have left them alone. What did they do to change them?
@@jeanbennett202 i think it was the change of oil used and the flavours changed quite a bit
We actually do have Devonshire clotted cream at Whole Foods and Lager is everywhere.
yes! Ive seen it! like 8.99 but pretty good!
Yes, lager is everywhere. The largest selling brand of beer in the US is Budweiser and it's a lager. The largest selling light beer is Miller Lite and it's a pilsner. And then we have a craft brewery every ten miles and each one makes ten different kind of ale. But if you go into a bar / tavern / club and ask for a cider you will probably be out of luck.
I'm a clotted cream snob... I want the good stuff that I only get in Britain... not the mass produced stuff in jars :-(
James Darnell And Pilsner is a type of pale lager. Also, Bud Light outsells Miller Lite & Budweiser (and every other beer in america for that matter) and Bud Light is a lager too.
Here's a little info about Walker's and Lay's. Lay's potato chips were started in Nasville, Tennessee in 1932. Walker's crisps were introduced in England in 1948 by a Henry Walker. In 1989, Lay's purchased Walker's crisps, but left the name the same since they are so well known in England. This explains why the logos are the same.
I live in Utah-USA, I'm 48 years old and have seen and eaten HP sauce much of my life.
Bacon comes in many different thicknesses, flavors, cure types, and amounts of marbling so it depends on what you decide to buy for yourself.
Cider has always been available in the USA, and yes we do have Lager as well as all other varieties of beer.
I've bought clotted cream at my local grocery for about 30 years now.
Lays potato chips come in the shrimp cocktail flavor here which is the same as the walkers.
We do have meat pies, here they are most often called pot pies.
Jaffa cakes can also be purchased at the local grocery here.
You can get the Heinz plowman pickle here 🤮.
You can get English style crumpets here they just aren't as easy to find as the English muffin.
The whole Walker’s and Lays thing is because Walker’s was a regional brand. Lays owns Walker’s, but Walker’s was so endearing to the locals as a brand that Lays had no choice but to leave the name as is. There is a similar thing here in America with fast food locations. Carl’s Jr. owns Hardee’s restaurants and something similar had to happen, locals favored the Hardee’s brand name instead.
Same with Checkers and Raleys
Where I live, it's Hardees and Checkers.
@@joeymorvant161 and here in Western Kentucky, it is Hardee's and Rally's. Weird.
@@b1k2q34 Indeed.
Actual it's just a rebrand in 1989. Walkers was bought by Pepsi.
I think your brown sauce is the same as our A1 Steak Sauce. It tastes just as you describe and it is delicious!
They're similar but have a bit different spice mixture. A1 is also an English brand though much more popular here than in Britain.
bobobobinalong British. HP Sauce tastes more like AMERICAN Heinz 57 sauce.
H&P Brown Sauce is nothing like A1. It's much better.
We have HP. I love HP on my chips!!
@@timothyscheidler6365 I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere. I'd love to try it.
America has a strong cider tradition. We actually developed many of the cider apple varieties.
OK: which ones?
@@allenwilliams1306 there is a list of apple cultivars on wikipedia. Look at the section designated for cider apples. It shows date and location of origin. Almost every other listing is from America. Some of the varieties date to the 1700s. But i learned that fact first from a documentary on the tradition of American ciders years ago.
If you think we in the USA don't have "Brown Sauce" then try "A1 Steak Sauce". It's basically the same stuff. So we do have it and it is available almost everywhere but its under a different name.
We've had HP Sauce, in the US, since I was a kid, over 40 years ago. It's not very much like A1 by the way.
Actually, Heinz 57 Sauce is even closer.
Agree w @whyis45stillalive, we do have HP and it doesn't taste like A1 to me. It's available just harder to find.
Hey J&L - we’ve had HP sauce even down here in Corpus Christi Texas for at least 20 years!! And guess who we buy it from?? Y’alls favorite Texas grocery store - HEB!!! Take care and stay healthy!!
I've seen it up here in Pennsylvania at a local chain in the international isle
Amber Griffin Lost in the Pond says they are basically the same. He did a video mentioning it recently
Amber Griffin No it’s somewhat similar but it has more vinegar ‘twang’ that I just love!! It’s the kind of thing to put on less expensive cuts of meat to make them brighter & bring out their flavor. As far as comparison to A-1 - it’s much more tart & fresh. It doesn’t taste like a bottled sauce if that makes sense. It’s GREAT (oddly enough) on chicken fried steak if you don’t make the cream gravy. Actually I’ve never tried it on other fried foods but it might be good for many American fried foods. Kinda like back in the 90s when we figured out that sparkling wine (PROSECCO J&L if you read this!) is a great thing to drink with very spicy or unctuous (fatty) foods!! Anyway they both work because they rely more on acidity than umami.
Amber Griffin Yes I hope you do BUT one thing about HP Sauce is that it can overpower a dish fairly easily so start with just a bit then add more if needed to your taste. I would not cook with or use it in a marinade because it’s got a high sugar content, I’m not British, and I think it might be way overpowering if I used too much so for me it’s a finishing or dipping sauce!! BUY IT!! You’ll love it & if you don’t you’ve only spent $7.00-$10.00 anyway!! NOTHING VENTURED- NOTHING GAINED!! Take care.
Amber Griffin - no, British HP sauce tastes a lot like our HEINZ 57 Sauce.
My niece’s fiancée is British, and every time he comes to visit, he brings a bunch of chocolate...so much better than ours!! He made Yorkshire pudding for us once, and it was amazing! We love his visits!
I agree! Yorkshire Pudding and Cadbury Chocolate for the win!!!
As a French Canadian, I have to say the only thing that goes of meat pie is ketchup. Mind you I think our meat pie is different. You fry up ground beef with spices, and bake it in a pie crust I also usually put a layer of mashed potatoes in there.
As an Aussie, I have grown up with Vegemite on Crumpets! SOO YUMMY!! BUT the Crumpet must be hot with lots of melted butter!
Hahahahaha what is vegemite. Sounds like its not meat.
Any state that grows apples has both hard and sweet cider. And there are manny bottled hard ciders.
I mostly associate the word "cider" with mulled, spicy apple juice. If it has alcohol in it, I'd call it hard cider. Not sure if that's regional - I'm in the mid-Atlantic.
Yes, many mass marketed ciders these days, and ones on tap at bars. In Chicago there was even a cider bar that specializes in it, but it closed a short time ago.
I’m sure some of this has been mentioned---Budweiser is a lager & I live 20 miles from a cider mill that makes alcoholic & non-alcoholic ciders...midwest has a lot of them. I personally like my bacon less crisp than most of my family. Also, Americans eat a bunch of different meat pies (chicken, turkey, & shepherds pie are most common) plus the whole line of Hot Pockets which are handheld pies.
I like my bacon softer. Try Canadian bacon.
In the Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington), we call the mix of mayonaise and ketchup "Fry Sauce." We use it to dip our french fries in. Restaraunts give it out and you can buy it already mixed in the supermarket.
Apple juice fermented into Cider e.g. Strongbow, Pear juice fermented into Perry (pear cider) e.g. Baby Cham or Lambrini.
CLOTTED CREAM with scones and jam and coffee was one of the most blissful experiences I had on vacation and we 100% need clotted cream over here!!!!! I love your channel btw!
also "meat pie" LMAO
I can't believe crumpets are real and that British people actually like them lolol
We have it here in specialty shops, I get it in our Italian store. Just picked a jar up today.
I live in the NYC area & I can find Devon Clotted Cream in just about any good supermarket.
We don't call it clotted cream.
I’m from North Carolina, and I’ve been living in the UK for 13 years. I want to make a video of the foods I miss the most. Foods that the UK deserves. ❤️. Let’s collaborate!!
You old person should watch whst your saying
Roswell fan? I love Malex!
What no I’m a fan if mha
@@thatbitch2501 I think it's the other way around
How did you make that transition? Was it hard?
I heard of brown sauce years ago. When The Power Station had released their debut album, there was a magazine interviewing John Taylor and Andy Taylor. There was a part where Andy was talking about his youth. I don't remember if he was going out, or playing a club, but anyway, when he got home, he said he ate a cheese sandwich with "brown sauce". It was notable, because he didn't name it, like ketchup or mustard, just "brown sauce". Decades later, I FINALLY know what he was speaking of! While we DO have crispy bacon, on occasion, it can be fatty. Our cider is more or less apple juice, served both cold or heated. I can't say this for sure, but y'all's clotted cream looks like our cream cheese. There's even cream cheese ice cream! We have meat pies. It looks like a sealed fruit pie(like a snack pie from Hostess), but with seasoned ground beef, and without a sugar glaze on the pastry itself. Y'all say "veg", short for vegetables. We say "veggies". We do have English muffins. At first glance of the picture, that's what crumpets looked like to me.
Yup. Clotted cream *looks* like cream cheese but it is just high-fat cream.
Founded in 1948, Walkers quickly became the United Kingdom's leading potato crisps snack food company. However, Pepsi acquired Walkers and re-branded it with the Lay's logo and products in 1989.
The ciders in Asheville/Hendersonville North Carolina are amazing. Because of our abundance of Apple trees!
On a UK lockdown UA-cam crawl and saw this comment. Even better if you drink it in The Jack of the Woods pub on Patton. Brit who lived in Fletcher for a while and thinks Asheville should be on everyone's bucket list of places to visit.
I love it when Joel says a food is “nice”!😁
Nice and lovely are my two favorite British terms we don't often use the same way in the US.
How abt "stunning"? Lia often uses that even when she means "delish," "incredible," "awesome," referring to some *food* item! 😏
We have the Jaffa’s (spelling?) cakes here in the cookie section. There’s a brand called Pim’s; it’s a cakey type of bottom with raspberry or orange jam in the center and a chocolate top, which seems to be what you’re describing. We have meat pies too. We have regular meat pies, which is ground beef and potatoes in a crust. We also have pot pies, which are usually chicken, turkey, or cubed beef. They have diced potatoes, carrots, peas, meat, and gravy in a pie crust. We have cider, sparkling cider, and hard cider. We also have lager as well as ale.
Crumpets are originally a Welsh food. My Welsh great-grandmother made them all the time. English muffins are from Plymouth, England.
I remember seeing on a show that the Walkers brand was already well established in the UK and rather than cause confusion they decided to keep that familiar name.
Yes, Lays was first and bought Walkers in the UK. A lot of big companies do this when buying a smaller brand or one in a different country they will still use the name instead of changing it.
@@tj_2701 walkers came out b4 lays and Pepsi owns both
They may have been established but didn't used to be that well known. Golden wonder were the biggest, I think Smith's and KP may have been bigger as well. Then Walkers became no.1 and annoyed the hell out of me because they changed the established order of packet colours. Blue was always salt and vinegar. Green, cheese and onion. Red, ready salted/plain. The other three all kept to that convention. I'd end up with the wrong flavour when buying Walkers.
KP salt and vinegar were too strong, much too salty and the vinegar flavour made your eyes water.
@@paulqueripel3493 I'm with you on that packet colouring. It's annoying.
Wayne Chalkley, no Lays was founded in 1939, Walkers in 1948.
UK doesn’t have Authentic Mexican Restaurants! With a tequila/margarita bar. 😞
True! And the tortilla chips are RUBBISH! Sorry, I'm a chip snob 😀
europe in general just does not understand mexican food period
I'm from the Southwest and most of America doesn't have authentic Mexican restaurants. They don't even have good American-style Mexican food, let alone authentic Mexican food.
Steven Varner we have some pretty good tacos, and chips and queso, in Texas. But I never attempt to eat those things in the UK!😬
@@stevenvarner9806 I've been to some awesome Mexican restaurants, js.
Some of the larger grocery chains have a British section where they have biscuits, chocolates, sauces, teas, etc. some places also have Devonshire clotted cream in either the dairy or specialty deli
Frito-Lay is an American snack company, owned by PepsiCo. In 1989, they acquired Walker’s and Smith’s (which I saw in Australia, as well). Basically, all three brands have been standardized globally, customizing snack flavors regionally. The eastern seaboard of the US might someday get to sample the UK’s prawn cocktail flavor if their market research shows that it will sell well here. I hope we do! We do have crumpets, but they’re not common. English muffins are completely different and much more common. Crumpets remind me of small pancakes that have only been cooked on one side, so you see all the little bubbles on the side opposite the cooking surface. If you cook pancakes at all you’ll know what I’m talking about. We also have clotted cream, it’s just not very common. I’ve had rashers in Australia which I think are very much like British rashers, but I don’t think they’re comparable to American bacon, which is smoked pork belly. Rashers come from the meatier back and side of the pig which is also much leaner and can be almost like jerky, if overcooked. We do love our crispy, fatty bacon here!
you can find clotted cream at tea shops and occasionally in a grocery in the US
I have a jar in my frig right now 😋
You can make your own. It's super easy! Heavy cream (NOT ultra pasteurized, which I've only found at Whole Foods) put in a shallow dish and leave it in a 180 degree (Fahrenheit) oven for 12 hours, then put it in the fridge for 12 hours. You have your very own homemade clotted cream.
You should reach out to Alex and Kate from this with them, they have had a successful British box delivery system for sometime now. They may be able to help. Good luck, much love.
John thanks for mentioning them! I was thinking the same thing! Kate and Alex send their boxes out all the time!!
This with Them I think is the name of the show
Walker's is a UK brand, that was bought by Pepsi in 1989. So to keep the UK people loyal to the brand, they kept the Walker's name. So that is way the logo is similar, because they are from the same company.
We do have cider in the USA. It’s nothing like beer except that it’s carbonated. It’s more like wine-fermented, carbonated apple juice.
My favourite time of the week I love getting these notifications 💗💗💗
aw thank you!
Amazingly I can get all those things in the US but I have Brit connections. And let's be honest: a bad bacon butty in a pub is sheer horror! Love these topics! Keep em coming! Thanks! L&C 👍♥️😘🇬🇧
My husband worked for Frito Lay for 20 years. Walkers was acquired by Frito Lay sometime in the 80s and they kept the name for brand recognition in the UK.
Our response to HP sauce is A1 Steak Sauce - which originally was from Britain but lost popularity to HP sauce. A1 sauce was the favorite of several monarchs, and allegedly is still available in Britain. Doesn't taste anything like American barbecue sauce.
Ok first we have cider here, I’m lucky enough to have a cidery by my house in Texas, most of our best selling beers are lagers but is brown sauce similar to A-1 steak sauce?
Yes! HP Sauce = A1 Sauce
HP sauce and A1 are closer but definitely not the same
HP and A-1 taste toally differant. I like HP on my fries, and A-1 on my steak.
Leinenkugel's is just different Lager flavors. WTF was he talking about.
no, battery acid is similar to A-1 sauce. brown sauce is like more ketchupy but not sweetened.
“Walkers was founded in 1948 in Leicester, England by Henry Walker, and in 1989 was acquired by Lay's owner, Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo.[“
I found crumpets recently in our Aldi stores and I bought a package. They were so GOOD with melted butter and some strawberry preserves!
Everything is better with butter! Especially crumpets and English muffins! haha
I recommend a Navajo Taco. I am PNW native so I would love to see you guys try some native foods. We have so many tribes using both traditional and modern takes on the heritage
HP is Houses of Parliament, we have hard cider. we have all kinds of lager,
There’s a shop in downtown Seattle called “The Crumpet Shop”. Really good 😁😁
We are Brits who lived in KSA in an American community for 30 years. We shopped at the company commissary for most of our time there. We adapted easily to the American goods on sale. With a little ingenuity and adaptation, we lived and fed ourselves perfectly and adequately. We’re all human beings and all have similar nutritional needs. Cook it, put it on the table and EAT! Just thank god for the availability of food. Just love your fellow man. It’s SURVIVAL, share your recipes/ideas with everyone. We all benefit from each other’s strengths! P.S. we do love Hersheys though!
Oh we definitely have cider here. Regional. The one I know best here is called Angry Orchard. When I was in Kent I couldn't stay away from Dark Fruits, which was just lovely.
As a child, I wanted to try A1 steak sauce that Mom & Dad were using. I was told it would eat holes in my stomach! Thx so much! LOL
Add this to J&L's video Lies Told to Children
If you can imagine Coca Cola as a paste, that's A-1 🤮 Your mother was right. Both will eat a hole in your stomach.
@@SuzNews Then my stomach must look like Swiss cheese!
We have stores like World Market here who may have everything you mention.
Mayo and ketchup is the start of what is called "fry sauce" cocktail sauce is a spicy shrimp(prawn) sauce consisting of ketchup and horseradish mixed together.
Fry sauce is very popular in Utah!
We have regular cider (no alcohol) and hard cider which is alcoholic. We have lager, Pilsner, ale, pale ale, stout, IPAs and microbrews all of which are beer.
As an American I have to say, "CANADIAN BACON!"
Something Canadians never say - to us, it's "back bacon".
To me, it just tastes like ham. Still love it though.
I think Americans have English Muffins. Lia, "Oh those." hahahaha
We do.
We can get crumpets, cider, & clotted cream here in the US. I've even found marmite. I'm sure I can also find the HP sauce, as well. British bacon is like a really thinly sliced pork chop, especially if it's cooked the way it's typically cooked in the UK. American bacon is pork belly that has been salt cured and cold smoked.
heather - well, aren't you a plethora of information...i like pork belly in my greens (collared/turnip/mustard) greens, that is. you ain't no dummy; probably a great cook as well!
1.HP Sauce = A1 Steak Sauce...
2. Lays came 1st...
3. Cider = Hard Cider
4. Lager exists
5. Devonshire clotted cream is available in Hawaii at least, more in a gourmet store not a grocery store.. I have a jar in my fridge right now... I 1st had it 30yrs ago at the Moana Hotel in Waikiki where they serve cream tea...
6. Crumpets too are available in the refrigerated section at least here in Hawaii... They are totally different from English Muffins... I'm a foodie though & make my own from scratch maybe once a month... they are easier to make than a lot of yeast breads or English Muffins...
You win with the rest on your list..
Here in Arizona you can find HP sauce in the “international foods” aisle...close to the Jewish foods. We also have a lot of lager 🙂 All of us Americans will know the commercials for Sam Adams Boston Lager
Which stores do you shop in? I am also in AZ.
In Canada we have the HP sauce and A1 sauce in the BBQ sauce section
@@christinak74 Fry's nearly always has HP sauce, identical to the British version except it is made in the Netherlands (if you read labels).
I have some Branston Pickle in my refrig, so haha! Trader Joe’s sells crumpets occasionally.
Trader Joe's is amazing.
@Carolyn Green If they're full of holes then yes they're crumpets. Toast them until golden brown, spread a generous amount of salted butter on top while they are piping hot, and let the butter melt through the holes. Then take your first bite. Butter will probably trickle down your chin, but that's just part of the joy. Next try one with butter and jam (jelly). Enjoy.
RICK B Mmmm... my stomach is growling while reading your post! 🤤
A good mature cheddar cheese & Branston pickle sammie is my FAVOURITE!!!
Is it like relish?
A bit of Brit trivia I happen to know is that Jaffa Cakes have actually been legally declared cakes for tax purposes by a VAT tribunal.
That IS a fun but obscure fact! I guess they rationalize it because of the "sponge cake" part of the biscuit?
Your videos are very entertaining. I visited the U.K. and Ireland on a tour for the first time last summer. I enjoyed trying food that I can't find in the states, (and I live in NYC, which has almost everything.). I did snack on the Prawn Cocktail Crisps, along with a tart ginger beverage that wasn't like ginger ale in the states. I also had the scones with clotted cream and jam, as well as crumpets. They were delicious. So were the meat pies. The English and Irish breakfasts were also amazing. So, I will look forward to visiting again when the pandemic is over to enjoy more of the U.K.
If you want meaty bacon in the USA then order ham or "Canadian Bacon". They are both better than British "bacon".
Canadian bacon is cured pork loin, not in the bacon family at all.
Ham in the US is Gammon not Back Bacon
canadian bacon is called back bacon same as uk only us do diffrent
In the UK Bacon, Gammon, and Ham are 3 different products. With there own uses.
@@grahamsmith9541 Same in the United States. I think what they are calling British bacon could be described as thick cut back bacon if you are in the south.
There’s an Irish pub in my town that sells HP sauce. My sister just bought some a week ago!
Love these videos! That garden with the fairies playing on the leaves behind you is stunning. We've seen them several times in your videos.🤣
If I've got this right...
Crumpets are a yeast pancake (griddle cake) that isn't flipped. At the point you'd usually flip a pancake, you instead remove it from the griddle, and usually toast it.
I have a sourdough pancake recipe; I might try adapting it.
Pre-corona, I can't believe peeps would ACTUALLY try other folks drinks🤮
omg seriously lol i thought she meant they would pour their own from the fountain and try it.. i did NOT expect she meant they would try HER drink. it must be a pretty girl thing bc I don't think I could get away with that lol
I've had that happen multiple times in my life when I complain about soda being flat or beer as well.
I've had people tell me there drink taste weird and ask for me to try it ( im a bartender) I 100% would say no, I'll make you a new one.
Only by family members would tried or shared our drinks and food in my family except for ones who are sick.
We have cider through the whole US. I only like it if you heat it with cinnamon sticks or cinnamon hot candies
Crinkle # OMG my dyslexic brain thought you liked hot cinnamon candles in your cider! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My first reaction to that was “that’s a first,” then it was “that’s a lot of wax🤔,” then I reread the post and 💡 “ooooooooooooohhhhh, 😆 whoops”. Rofl.
In the 1980s we could get Bulmer's London Dry cider in the US, and I loved it. Nothing close now.
Also, pear cider is called Perry, at least here, and it is usually better than the apple.
We have HP sauce and Jaffa cookies in the International food section. Cider is huge here! Lots of different brands. The BEST one is produced by Angry Orchard in Walden NY. If you get there, check out their amazing custom tree house on the grounds. It was made in the tv show Treehouse Masters. Really cool.
We can get HP sauce in California at the grocery store. My Hubs fell in love with it on a holiday in Scotland!
You can get it in Chicago, Illinois as well...I think many American large supermarkets carry HP sauce.
We can get HP Sauce in Alabama ..dun dun dun.
we have apple cider, usually seasonal though when apples are harvested.
That’s not quite what they’re talking about. British cider is the same as the hard cider that’s sold alongside beer-always cold and alcoholic.
On this side of the pond, we have Herr's "Old Bay", Lay's "Chesapeake Bay Crab Spice" and Utz "The Crab Chip" "Crisps"
As mentioned by Ashley (below), here a "Prawn Cocktail" is a "Shrimp Cocktail" and the shrimps are generally served with a Cocktail sauce made of Grated Horseradish, Tomato Ketchup and hot sauce. The shrimps are often served in a cocktail stem or a champagne coupe filled with shaved ice and a shotglass full of the cocktail sauce with teh prawns arranged around the rim of the cocktail or champagne glass.
In most grocery stores , we have cider , we just differentiate between hard and sparkling. Sparkling cider is usually on the juice aisle and is sold all year round but sees sales rise during the holidays , one brand in particular, Martinelli's Gold m
Medal and it comes in regular sparkling apple and different flavors. Hard cider can either be in the refrigerated cooler with the beer or on the shelf with other spirits. Hard cider from what I have seen( I don't drink) has seen a rise in popularity over last few years. One particular brand , Strongbow hard cider is actually a sponsor of a cooking show that comes on PBS.
I've seen Scottish Shortbread and McVittie's raspberry biscuits (& have bought them)as well as biscoff in the cookie aisle @ my local supermarket. It just depends on where you are in US as to whether certain British foods can be found. The founder of Thomas' English Muffins was actually from England. As the story goes, after he emigrated to the US, he began company to make the crumpets he remembered making and having in England.
We do have English muffins, true, but our store, Trader Joe's, sells traditional crumpets. 😊
TJ's is the best!!! So glad they finally came to North Texas:-)
I loved them sooo much more than English muffins, but sadly my Trader Joe’s doesn’t carry them anymore😢
Stephanie Robinson I haven’t ever seen them at my TJ...
What are your favorite British foods?
@@MagentaOtterTravels - dadgummed fraidy cats...too proper for east texas; where tar get's whupped outtaya'...
I tried Crumpets once here but they probably were 'not' of comparable quality to the top brands avail over the pond. All that in to consideration though, I still feel that Thomas English Muffins would be hard to beat. Toasted just right smothered in butter and then add your favorite whether it's: honey, raspberry, strawberry, marmalade, even peanut butter, or an egg and cheese ham or bacon. Never had any complaints. An excellent product in value and reliable quality imho.
Alex and Kate on their channel “This with Them”, send British candy boxes to their subscribers I know. Maybe they have some trade secrets.
According to my google search, I came up with this explanation: Pepsi acquired Walkers and re-branded it with the Lay's logo and products in 1989. The snack food is exactly the same, but PepsiCo decided to keep the Walkers name to ensure customer brand loyalty in the United Kingdom.
You are correct! I managed the Lay's brand here in the US in the early 2000's. We changed the Lay's logo around the world to be the same no matter what branding was in a specific country... the round yellow "sun" with a red banner across it ☺
The US DOES have Cider. Usually called Hard Cider. Hasn't been around a very long time, but over the last decade has become quite popular.
I enjoyed this video but I was distracted bc I’m wondering how Ava is doing today. I know... this was filmed a while ago. But... how is Ava doing today?
Im pretty sure HP is what we call steak sauce, like A1.
Walkers were acquired by Lay's in 1989 and re-branded as Lays, so if you started eating Walkers after "89" you were eating American crisps, not sure if the taste changed, you can ask some of the older crowd if the taste changed but I think Joel & Lia are too young.
They aren't crisps, they are chips.
Walkers was actually established in Manchester in 1948 but then was bought by Lay's in 1989. They decided to keep the name to ensure customer loyalty in the UK.
I have drank plenty of cider and Loggers. I have had chicken pie but the best pie I ever had was a mushroom pie in Maui.
Loggers ? Do you mean lager?
Oh, yes! I would subscribe to that snack box, if and when the stars align. And I love clotted cream, but it's difficult to find here. Have to order it from Amazon.
If you're in the U.S try Whole Foods. My local one sells clotted cream.
Yeah, like Kristin said, Whole Foods has it. It’s direct from the UK and the brand is Devon Cream Company. There are typically two varieties: The blue label is called “Double Cream” while the green label is called “Clotted Cream.” Personally, I prefer the Double Cream. They’re usually both $7.99, and come in small, 170g (6 oz.) glass bottles with a jar lid. Most WF stores where I live put them in the cheese section near the fresh mozzarella balls. Not sure if they carry it anymore, but my state’s version of Kroger had it. So, you could try there, too. Same UK brand.
@@Chrispy_thee_Critter Oohh thank you for this info...I saw this on amazon (almost double the price), but I thought it wasn't right because it doesn't look refrigerated. Is that the way it's supposed to be?
@@kagmille It doesn't need to be refrigerated in the sealed container, but you must refrigerate after opening and use within a few days.
Judy Reyes It tastes like strawberry jam, but “sparkly” and with mint. I definitely recommend it.
I have had HP sauce in several British pubs in Northern California. I found that HP tastes almost exactly like Heinz 57 sauce.
I'm well acquainted with brown sauce. Before going to Scotland, I watch a vlog (by Wee Scottish Lass), say that Scots much prefer brown sauce on chips, than vinegar. On eating it, when I was there, I remembered having it before, in the States. But I remember it as "English sauce." Since then, I've never been without a bottle of it, in my pantry. My regular supermarket has them in their International section. / We don't have prawn cocktail crisps but shrimp chips. They are shrimp-flavored corn crisps, imported from Japan. / Ciders are actually growing in popularity here. More craft beer brewers are crafting ciders and more are appearing in American bars. / More British & Irish pubs are opening here, offering meat pies. I occasionally go to the Three Lions Pub, in the next town, for steak & kidney pie, with chips, & a pint of Bass ale. / Most American supermarkets use to have crumpets and I remember seeing commercials for various brands on TV. But since this century began, their popularity has declined.
Instead of sending the actual food - why don’t you all do recipes of your favorite British foods - maybe you all could do videos making the items - then we could watch and make them ourselves - just a though - you were talking about the proper way to make English Tea - show us how.
That sounds interesting.
As I'm a former Londoner(living in the US over 20 yrs now)First of all if I really want a particular Brit Product,I just research various sites(Amazon does sell quite alot of stuff for a price)recently I bought quite alot of Tea(Barry's from☘️ Ireland☘️ and British Brand-Yorkshire Gold,which I must say is one of the best Tea's I ever tasted-i heard it had a good Rep,in the UK👍)So as for making some Tea..You could just stick a T-bag In cup,pour the Hot water in&follow up with Milk(sugar if that's ur preference?)Or u could use a T-Pot,if u were entertaining friends/Guests..And of course if u preferred to use "Loose Tea",then u would at first warm the T-Pot up&then empty the hot water out,then put in the desired amount of Tea(using a Tea Spoon to measure)pour in the Hot water&let it brew for maybe 10mins,then use a "Tea Strainer"(or siv)to trap the leaves when u pour it into a Cup or Mug..Job done..And I don't watch these two making pointless,(often inaccurate) comparison's.(very often)
.They really need to get themselves proper Jobs.
I would also really appreciate seeing them make American recipes and test them out. Like real pecan pie, pumpkin pie, the tamales, for example. Homemade is soooo different than packaged. I wouldn't eat any of those things packaged. Like homemade pumpkin pie with lots of fresh whipped cream on top. Can't beat it.
"The Worst Pies in London!"
Sweeney Todd? 😂
I ADORE Branston Pickle. Love it. And HP sauce. But BRANSTON PICKLE is genius. I was so excited when you mentioned it!
My sister got me some brown sauce for one of my Christmas gifts last year. I had heard it talked about in Irish videos, and wanted to try it.
We can get HP sauce in NY. I've had it, it's.... OK. I wouldn't seek it out or buy it.
Joel and Lia - we do have meat pies in the USA. We just call them “pot pie”. Beef Pot Pie Chicken Pot Pie etc.
Pot pies in the US tend to have much runnier filling than other countries' meat pies, which can often be held in the hand while eating. US pot pies often only have a top crust too, making eating by hand definitely out.
American Pot pies are usually in a round aluminum tin and have a gravy sauce inside with pieces of meat, whereas the British meat pies are usually more like a calzone without any aluminum tin, and have more meat than gravy.
Pot pies are nothing like a meat pie. I live in New England and we have meat pies here. A meat pie is an actual pie with meat in it that you bake like any other pie and then serve with a separate gravy to pour over it. It is dense and can actually be sliced like a pie. A pot pie is runny and full of gravy. Pot pies often have the vegetables in them too. A meat pie is just meat.
xnonsuchx - a hand held meat pie we have goes by the name of “Hot Pockets”
@@Eddyfamily not the same though
Ciders are available in almost any Supermarket, Restaurant (with an alcohol license), and Bar/Club. ...and Lagers are as common as Ales, Pilsners, and Stouts. Therefore, extremely ubiquitous in the States.
We have a bottle of HP brown sauce in the fridge! I know a lot of people who use it where I live in the States. We have cideries all over the Pacific Northwest. We have cider bars that exclusively serve ciders. Very popular here. I WISH we had Devonshire clotted cream!! I love it! When I was child in the Midwest, my mother would buy fresh dairy whole milk (unpasteurized) and 'clot' it. We had it for breakfast--so good. We have meat pies, too. There's 'chicken or beef pot pie', for example. There's a place in our neighborhood that serves meat 'pasties', somewhat similar to meat pies. Where I live, we pickle everything! Most restaurants serve mixed pickled vegetables, similar to your Branston's. I think crumpets are our 'English muffins', also very common here.
