Comfort foods aren't necessarily bad for you; they can be healthy and eaten when things aren't at their best and a person needs to be comforted.
From the US here, my comfort food is for breakfast although you may eat it any time of day, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.
I feel sorry for (and get upset) when people in other countries think an American cheeseburger is a McDoanlds burger.
A good American cookout in a backyard, where the patties are homemade and seasoned, grilled to perfection with a thick slice of cheese melting over the side, with all of the appropriate additions, is AMAZING.
A mom and pop restaurant, where all they are serve are greasy burgers that are made on the same "grille" for over 50+ years, bad for your arteries, but heaven in your mouth. A true American cheeseburger is one of the most underrated foods worldwide. When we took two exchange students from Taiwan (in the 1980s) to a "50s diner," they had such huge smiles when their giant "Frisco burgers" were delivered. They devoured them, and through a translator, said it was one of the best things they had ever eaten. (I swear the star spangled banner started playing when they said that ;). )
It be that way with exchange students. The palate in Taiwan is extremely different from usual American.
To be fair, burgers are no less healthy than a lot of other foods nobody cares about. They just like to give Americans crap. Burgers have veggies, breads, dairy, meat food groups. And the unhealthy part(the fat in the beef) is still there in lots of other foods other countries eat.
In the US, a comfort food is generally a food that is tied to pleasant memories. The taste, the textures, the smells bring back pleasant memories of happier times. It could be as simple as a warm bowl of soup on a cold day bringing back memories of your mom feeding you warm soup on cold winter’s day. Sometimes it brings back memories of celebrations or get-togethers with family or loved ones long gone.
Pepperoni.. pineapple.. Jalapeño pizza.. so yummy
Comfort foods are for our emotional comfort, and are usually foods from our childhoods or maybe that show up in holidays.
U.S. person here. In my family, Mac and cheese has always been a side dish. It's never been a main dish for us.🙂
I have done it for leftovers. My younger sisters' mom bought a huge ham for Christmas, but a flu outbreak caused not many to show up. To not waste it, she was trying to serve ham everyday, but my much younger sisters were getting sick of it. I made a "main course" of ham and mac and cheese (homemade mac and cheese, not Kraft) with chunks of the ham in it. I served a salad on the side, so I technically made it a main course. Typically, if you add meat to it, that makes it a main
This is a heavy junk food list. Comfort food to me is chicken 'n dumplings, a good soup, a grilled cheese sandwich, ham hocks and beans, a good potato salad, Dad's homemade bread, mom's spaghetti, BBQ ribs, crabs.
Fresh picked sweet corn with some butter and salt is Heaven!
Silver Queen corn is the best😋
@@chrispavlich9656As long as it's fresh then it's good.
@@AC-ni4gt Only way to eat Silver Queen corn.
How in the world does he eat pizza if he doesn't like melted /cooked cheese😂😂
Lol. Brits have the palates of children. Don’t add ANY pepper or flavor if one comes for dinner. They won’t eat. Lol.
I don't neccesarily like cheese, especially American. I used to eat everything with cheese, I was lactose intolerant. I stayed from cheese, except when it's on a burger. At Mickey Dees, I tell them not to put any cheese on there.
Thomas Jefferson didn't popularize Mac 'n Cheese. His (enslaved) chef, was the one to perfect the recipe from studying in Europe and created and crafted Mac n' cheese his way. Which THEN made it popularin America. Give credit to the right person.
Hmmm. Id say the chef's food wouldnt have mattered to anyone if he'd made it for some poor guy. So Jefferson popularized it. He just didn't create it. Create and popularize aren't the same things. Its like trendy clothing things when a celebrity wears it. The celebrity made it popular, but they didn't create it.
Not saying they shouldn't have given credit to the creator, but your argument needs tweaking to be valid.
You’ve got a try jam or jelly with peanut butter. Peanut butter by itself is a completely different experience than the two together. Great quick energy if you’re hiking or on a long walk.
Comfort foods do not make you feel like you shouldn't have eaten it.. In fact, just the opposite.. You have warm feelings.
Burritos and nachos are two of my comfort foods.
Grilled cheese is another must have. Don't butter the bread, use mayonnaise. It gives it more flavor. Restaurants do it like that. A good fruit salad is good too.
I use Duke's mayonnaise .
Just about to watch, but comfort foods certainly aren’t necessarily bad for you.
My favorite donut is jelly donuts filled inside.
8:19 WHAT?! You have got to see Josh and Ollie trying the ONLY Detroit pizzeria in UK! That stuff is INCREDIBLE. Just don't get me started on a slice of Chicago deep dish because I make a meal of it and a mess of my face.
For most people , I think mac and cheese is a side dish rather than the main meal
I love a pineapple and ham (Canadian bacon) pizza. I love any dish that pairs meat with fruit.
What in the heck is lemon curd? And what's a lemon curd sandwich? Add some peanut butter to that bad boy lol!😂❤
Peanut butter and jam sandwich with a glass of milk
@@tammierandall864 four basic food groups that
Always have a glass of milk to accompany your PB&J sandwich.
Mac and cheese is considered a side in America. I think in Canada if you put ketchup on it, it's dinner.
I think if you guys ate some of these dishes over here in America you would have a whole new appreciation. I'm promise you, you haven't had fried chicken until you've had it here cooked by someone from the South. Oh and pineapple sucks🤣Not just on pizza but in general. Still love you guys though!
You Brits all ways try it wrong. You need to have a drink with it. Kids drink milk. Or you can have it with any hot beverage, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate are the best. It just tastes better that way.
Corn is not a “healthy vegetable,” it’s a starch. It’s meant to be filling. It doesn’t have all the vitamins & nutrients of healthy vegetables. It’s just a plain old starch.
I love Hawaiian Pizza, extra pineapple! LOL
There should be some type of law against pineapple pizza. How can I get this added to the constitution? 🍍🍕
BP2 has to be a strange dude to not like the melted cheese in lasagna. His hatred for lasagna is a benefit for me because I will gladly extra lasagna. The more cheese the better. My mom's lasagna is so good that she makes one tray for the family and one just for me!
Mac and cheese I serve it as a side dish when I cook meat.
Where is that eating a PB&J video? :) I suggest raspberry preserves though....
It will come .... :)
@@BritPopsReactMake sure you spread plenty of peanut butter on one slice. Then jam of choice on the other slice. I like seedless raspberry ! But don’t skimp !!
mmmm brownies with pecan halves baked on top😊
Or walnuts .
Keep your pepperoni pizza. I love Hawaiian pizza the most.
You need to try a grilled ham and cheese on rye, with a side of fries.
I don’t know how long you two have been friends, but I love that BP1 just found out that cooked cheese grosses out BP2. Cheers to your friendship!
Yes agree homemade is ALWAYS better.
I'm not a huge fan of pepperoni. I can eat it but it's not a go to.
Love me some Hawaiian pizza with ham and pineapple!!!
"Fish equals filth on a pizza."-BP1.
💯 agree except I'll take it up a notch.
I don't eat anything that swam.😅
In the UK do you guys have a filling in doughnuts called Boston Creme?
It's a huge flavor of doughnuts here.
Cheeseburgers with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and bacon are among my favorites.
Peanut butter with jelly, Jam, or preserves moistens up the peanut butter. Put it on toast and it's even better.
A sandwich with meat, cheese, and potato chips was a childhood staple and once in a while I still eat it that way.
KFC isn't close to the best fast-food chicken anymore.
Grilled cheese with cheese and sliced ham is banging.
One kind of cheese in the middle and a different kind fried on the outside of the bread is also great.
Sausages are huge here since we have a rich German/Dutch heritage along with English heritage of course.😊
One of Pennsylvania's biggest export crops is corn.
I love corn on the cob but picking the skin out of my teeth isn't always fun.😅
I love Chocolate. The problem is thanks to Tundiel I now know how crap mass-produced American chocolate is.😢
And Cadbury doesn't ship to the US. I tried.😅
To my fellow Americans.
The Cadbury products produced by Hershey here don't hold a candle to the genuine British versions.
love melted cheese, on many things.
It might surprise you that most Americans make their own hamburgers/cheeseburgers at home...I noticed you immediately mentioned McDonalds and Burger King.
You're one those "we have McDonald's at home" people, aren't you?
Reuben sandwich, corned beef on rye, BLT, chicken dumplings, smoked brisket, enchiladas, chili poppers, biscuits and gravy, New York Cheesecake, toasted ravioli, St. Louis Ribs, Chicken Fried Steak with white gravy, southern fried chicken, Cuban Sandwich, Po'Boy Shrimp sandwich, gumbo, crayfish etouffe, jambalaya, clam chowder, chili dogs, Key Lime Pie, and so many others.
Okay, how about crunchy peanut butter slathered on a toasted everything bagel and topped with a bit of orange marmalade? Oh, and a cup of hot coffee to go with it?
I agree with this list, but IMO, they left out sausage biscuits and gravy. Love mac and cheese, but hate the boxed stuff. As for pizza toppings, I like sausage, pineapple and green peppers (they go great together, but we get weird looks when ordering that combo). Wendy's is significantly better than McDonald's. Great reaction!
Pulled pork BBQ is one of my favorite comfort foods not mentioned .
I agree with the list except for hamburgers and pizza. I like them, but not as a comfort food. I'd add meatloaf, mashed potatoes, ice cream, and burritos. I, too, like Hawaiian pizza, but i add onion to it. Brownies i love, but prefer walnuts mixed in and powered sugar sprinkled on top. Donuts...oh yeah! I especially love the ones with maple frosting, whether it's a donut or a longjohn filled with custard or a light cream. I prefer homemade ice cream, but store bought i like chocolate chip. I make a float with it by pouring either Root Beer, Pepsi, or Coke over the ice cream. Then, i have to include cake of almost any flavor and topping.
Bavarian cream filled doughnut with chocolate glaze are the GOAT!
Crispy french fries with ketchup,
Apple pie,
Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese,
Crispy chicken wings.
But not all at once - lol.
You are bad, bad boys. It's too late at night to be stoking my appetite! I could go for fried chicken with real honey to drizzle over its crispy-coated deliciousness. Chocolate pudding skin, chilled and rolled up like finger food (an absolute fave). Salted peanuts on chocolate ice cream. Tunafish salad on lightly toasted wholemeal oatmeal bread served with hot tea with milk and sugar. Pound cake toasted and buttered (so yummy with the butter melting into the warm, toasted cake). A juicy and tender Porterhouse steak, medium-rare to medium, with a beautiful sear all over, served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes with butter. Homemade penne pasta alfredo with florets of steamed broccoli. Coconut macaroons. Banana slices dipped in maple syrup. New York cheesecake. A toasted sandwich with melty peanut butter and a load of savory, perfectly crisped bacon. Fresh-from-the-garden, Jersey tomato sandwich with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Baci hazelnut Italian candies. Scotch eggs. Cashew shortbread. Pecan sandies. Lemon curd. Pizza topped with paper-thin slices of battered fried eggplant (aubergine). Dark chocolate-dipped handmade raspberry or orange jelly candy. A perfectly ripe, tender, juicy, and sweet plum right off the tree. A corned beef sandwich on marble rye with mayo and mustard, plus a big ol' dill pickle from the barrel. Snickers bars. Shrimp salad on a toasted wheat bagel. Chocolate brownies with nuts ( the brownies must be fully baked flaky-topped, crispy-edged, tender inside, but not gooey and half-baked). Swordfish steak perfectly grilled with butter and lemon. Mince pie. Pecan pie. Key lime pie. Homemade chicken soup. I could go on... but I can't. I just can't. It's torture.
To BP1 and BP2: I repeat... You are bad, bad boys! ☹️😠😋
Quickest & best way to heat up corn on the cob: leave the husk on, microwave on high for 3 minutes & 30 seconds. Take the husk off butter & salt.. num.
I love grilled cheese but give me an open faced sandwich with cheese, bacon and tomato and stuck in the broiler until the edges are brown and the cheese melted well and I'll give you the grilled cheese. FYI BP2 Cadburry in the US is not the same as the UK, it's made the US way.
Hot dogs in the UK are way different than hot dogs in the US.
Hotdogs in the UK comes in jars
@@channelthree9424 That's a nope for me .
I think you guys have it a bit wrong in your deduction of what a comfort food is. What you explained as a comfort food we likely would consider to be "indulgent". Comfort food is not a food you eat and then feel bad about eating afterward. Comfort food makes you feel content, nostalgic and peaceful inside. You should never feel sick or guilty after eating them.
My kids loved pb&j’s but they also loved a good Winnie the Pooh sandwich, peanut butter and honey, and a Curious George sandwich, which is peanut butter and banana. Also, try a jam and bacon sandwich. Delicious!
Monte Cristo is the egg dipped ham and cheese sandwich
There’s nothing like fresh corn on the cob, recently picked. Nothing like it. 😋
My mom served mac and cheese at every meal as a side dish.
Every Meal! ... wow
@BritPopsReact it was her way to make sure we ate something, at least if we would not eat her meatloaf, bbq porkchops. Joke was on her we loved it all. Most of all her pinto beans,pan fried tatters and fried squash.
I like pepperjack and swiss on my grilled sandwich.
i know a couple of guys who like pineapple on pizza i think it is absolutely diabolical🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha
Tell that to the Canadians who invented it.
@@AC-ni4gt ok HEY CANADIANS YOU ALL ARE DIABOLICAL
You guys crack me up. Interesting perspective on some of these. I know some people who crave Mac & Cheese. Some like it more than others, but I don't remember ever hearing Mac & Cheese wants to make them hurl. LOL!!!!!! And I love anchovies on my pizza. But my taste buds have a wide tolerance range. Probably wider than most. In all fairness though, I have eaten some things during survival training that would probably make a lot of people hurl. Sure was good at the time. Doughnuts or apple pie with ice cream are my favorite comfort foods. Great reactions guys. - Hawk
For the UK what about fish and chips
Oh yeah..... for sure
I love a good grilled cheese sandwich :D
Oh yes!
Lol we're still talking about peanut butter. Too funny!
I know you guys have some of these foods, no? I watch Gordon Ramsey, i know a few things hahaha! Ok lemme watch the full video before i comment further...❤
lol... Yep I know... been a foodie week! :)
I love pineapple on pizza. It's a refreshing counterpoint to all that salt and grease. 😂😂😂
Baked.. Not stirred on the stove..homemade Mac and cheese is the best! I squirt a little BBQ sauce on it for a kick. Powdered cheese or just in a box is gross. I'm a vegetarian so I don't do pepperoni but pineapple and onion with feta is fantastic! Those are my favorite.
Yum. I add a smidgen of horseradish to baked Mac and cheese
Ooh BP2 takin' some flack! Don't sweat it, i have some weird food no-no's as well. For example, i love my sweets. But i cannot stand the texture of powdered sugar. The taste is ok, but all over the place on a donut or cookie - nope! Just mix it in to the batter if you must. Yeah, it looks pretty. I get it. But yuck if i have to deal with it. I also can't stand touching raw meat with my bare hands. And i don't like whipped cream.
There - my "too much information" post of the day.❤
I will wear gloves when touching raw meat. I can't stand the smell meat leaves on your hands.
I’m not a Mac and cheese fan even though l LOVE cheese and am an American! I like fettuccine Alfredo much more.
Love crispy fried chicke n, creamed potatoes and milk gravy. Quarter Pounder cheese deluxe, mustard no ketchup or mayo. McDonald's french fries and ketchup.
I will not eat these types of food but, maybe once a month.
❤❤❤
no pineapple on a pizza... I like it. no black shoe polish in the hair? agree and so should you...
lol..
Okay, let me help you avoid mistakes regarding PB&J. First, NO BUTTER, I know about you all putting unnecessary butter on sandwiches. Second, two utensils, one for the PB, one for the J (you should end up with a PB jar free of J and a J jar free of PB). Take two slices of bread and open them like a book. On the inside face of one spread PB. Using a separate utensil, on the inside face of the other spread the J. Now, close the book, the PB side onto the J. After you have made all the sandwiches you may use the PB knife to cut them on a diagonal (because pointy food tastes better). If you are gong to be cutting and serving multiple sandwiches piecemeal, use a third utensil for slicing the sandwich to prevent cross contamination of the jars.
re: Burgers: Something I have seen as a common misconception among Brits is that the bun makes the burger. This is not the case. Burgers were originally (and still are) served on sliced bread. A burger is defined by the formed patty. Grind up beef, chicken, pork, vegetables, etc. and form a patty, cook and serve it on a bun or bread slices and it is a burger (we'll even allow a Portobello mushroom or beet slice ti be called a burger because the are round). A whole piece of chicken or pork or a slice of beef (roast) and it is called a sandwich (even if served on a burger bun).
For cheese-burgers and grilled cheese it is important to realize that Kraft Singles are NOT American cheese. You won't find the word cheese anywhere on the package as there is not enough milk solids to legally qualify as even cheese food. To get American cheese, one must go to the Deli counter and have them slice it off a block. Or get some of the billion pounds of government cheese stored in caves around the country. That stuff is great as it has been aged for years, best American cheese I ever had (Reagan gave my grandmother a five pound box).
I thought for sure they were going to say British comfort food was beans on toast lol
American chocolate tastes like pants??? Hm. All of it or just one particular brand? I find Cadbury to be too sweet and lacking density of flavor. I guess it's all in what you are accustomed to.
Mac&Cheese is okay but not my top ten. Brownies? Give me ten different recipes and I'd like one. Pizza, only thick crust. Donuts are like the brownies, only like a few types. I'd take a fry and shake over a burger. Would have a hard time living w/o PB. Fried chicken, YES. Grilled cheese, YES. Hot dog should be a Texas Hot Wiener. C-O-T-C tastes great but messy. Give me a banana split!!!!
I eat my pizza cut chicken pieces and broccoli on my pizza. You can put anything on pizza.
Some good ones on there.
Lemon curd?🤮🤢 I’m with BP1…give me my mom’s fried chicken any day😋I do love some Dungeness Crab Legs and Old Bay steamed shrimp.
Baked mac and cheese is the best!
2 layers of cheese to boring!! i know how to fix that wheres the can of beans🤣🤣🤣our grilled cheese might be the equivalent of your beans on toast
Potato chip sandwiches? Oh no no no.
I must not be an average eater here in the states, I would never eat 1,500 PBJ sandwiches in my life time…..I might have had 3 when I was a child. Yuck!
Canadian Bacon and pineapple !!! ❤
No, that's ridiculous. Comfort foods do not have to be unhealthy. Were talking about food and this guy is talking about vomit...way to go Brits! Nobody in America eats Mac and Cheese by itself...have you guys ever heard of a side dish? We're not eating whole plates of just Mac and Cheese for dinner, we eat a small portion of it on the side adjacent to the main dish, usually a meat dish. Hence, side dish.
No spice, everything grey and boiled, I can see that the British culinary scene is really still in the Dark Ages! Doesn't like Pepperoni pizza but he likes Pineapple on his Pizza...OK! Very strange to see prudish behavior coupled with food, the one thing that most people around the world celebrate.
That Mac and cheese looked wierd. Mac and cheee should have a crunchy top not so runny
Mac and Cheese is a side dish
If you have trouble with cheese you must be lactose intolerant
pizza has melted cheese... vomit that
Most of the these comfort foods I don't like.
These guys are judging food without even trying it! What arrogance ! They are hobbled by their parochial little ignorance of a wider culinary tradition ! ("I COULD NEVER EAT AN OYSTER! TBEY ARE SO SLIMY ICKY LOOKING)
I hate Wimpy... total garbage
The Pop on the right doesn't like anything. Yikes! 😬😬😬
Kraft Mac and cheese is crap
😐
I enjoy your videos, but your food commentary will forever be shadowed by "we hate melted cheese" and "we love Hawaiian pizza."
Boring dads
Good old fast food. Ok. stop eating & start play.
