Yes, but most of it has no flavor.😁 I do like their fish and chips. You guys should have their famous desert called "Cherry Bakewells". Those are VERY good😋
Im asian, I quite enjoy British food…I think its a bit unfair when people say british food is bland…not all dishes have to be drowning in spices for me to enjoy it..
The problem isnt so much with British food, but with British people who have become accustomed to laziness and convenience. It would be like living in somewhere like Taiwan, and instead of cooking your own Taiwanese food, or going out to Taiwanese night markets you instead live at a 7/11 or familymart and use that as your baseline of good food. @@cdl209

The UK is a cold country, a lot of the more traditional food was designed to be heavy and use cheaper cuts of meat so families could stay full and afford to eat. A lot of potato, pork, batter. It makes sense for it to be heavier than good found in warmer climates. Both delicious- just different!
A lot of this type of food also stems from rationing which started in 1940 as a result of WW2, but lasted all the way until 1954. My Dad was born in 1940 and he was 14 before rationing stopped! There was also rationing in WW1 and a few other times in British history before WW2. Imported foods and spices were not really available in large quantities. These types of foods were things that could be produced locally.
@@nealgrimes4382 as I said, there was rationing before WW2.

Videos like these are how you can tell when Americans talk bad about British food it's always projection from ignorance. Mexican food is amazing and it's nice to see how people from countries with actual food cultures appreciate others. These ladies were so sweet and super respectful and, most importantly, open minded. Cultures are often more connected than not. I'm Filipino British and the Philippines and Mexico are so similar to begin with but seeing them say some of the British food reminded them of foods they make for their families was super heart warming! Thank you for this video and thank you to the ladies!
There's a Cornish pastie connection to Mexico, in Hidalgo Cornish miners brought the recipe across in the 1800's. Thees even a cornish pastie museum in Real Del Monte and that town has lots of establishments selling them, traditional and more catered to Mexican ingredients/tastes (locally called 'pastes')
Btw, your name “overwavezz” reminds me of the very popular Mexican waltz called “Over the Waves” or “Uber Den Wellen” thought to be an Austrian or German waltz 😂
I love my fish and chips drenched in salt and vinegar but even I thought dipping the chips in the vinegar was not going to be delicious. And all respect to Alma, she's not got a sweet tooth, she clearly values nutrition etc, but she's just plain wrong about tea...it's delicious and I won't be told otherwise - it's like my religion. Tea when you're cold, tea to cool down, tea when you're sad, tea when you're happy, tea for comfort, tea just to break up the day...with none of the potential heart symptoms of coffee if you drink a lot. Love these ladies' reactions though - I was very much expecting them to damn it all for lack of flavour 🤣
These ladies are very kind towards our native dishes. Bangers and mash with onion gravy is a favourite. The fish and chips was a friday night special and the fish is generally shared as to expensive to have 1 each. A sprinkle of salt and a splash of vinegar is a base flavour, then you have either mushy peas, chip shop style curry sauce or some would have a beef gravy (not me) Glad tou enjoyed them, if you do every try marmite on toast please put butter on your toast first and a light scraping of marmite then have a poached egg with it..the runny yolk is the winner here 😊
Next time an American claims that Britain has “bland food” - I’m going to show them this! These lovely ladies seemed to really enjoy it, and what they were served doesn’t even look like good British food!
I honestly think we could do an even better video!! The first woman is not even a traditional Mexican mother. Real Mexicans and Real Brits have to get together
People misjudge British food. I first when i moved here in England , 25 Years ago, I used to criticise and compare it with the one from where I come from... Then i decided to understand that it wasn't bad, but different. And once you understand that, you can't have enough of it. I love my Sheppard pies, bangers and mash, my chippy, Sunday roast with all the trimmings and obviously.. Full English breakfast.... The French say they have the best food in the world, but also the Spaniards and Italians, africans and Indians.. but England es the only country that have all the best foods from all over the world 😂😂😂 and yet its native food is excellent and it comes with history, story and sentiments. There's no best cuisine in the world... They are just different
That's a joke and I will take it as a joke and not try to argue over food because food is like god, turn the other cheek. BRITISH FOOD THE BEST IN THE WORLD GET OUTTA HERE.
Finally someone that agrees with me! I've lived in many places and come from countries that also claim to be the best, but i get so annoyed when people judge based on shallow stereotypes. I think British and Americans get a lot of flack but nobody really knows their traditional food.
@@WraithTheSlayer They said "best from all over the world" so I imagine as in migrant communities included, i.e. Chinese food in the UK is better than the rest of Europe, Indian food in the UK is the best outside South Asia etc. The only thing not done well is Central and South American bc we have less foreign communities here.
I spent two weeks in London and my fave food experiences were a Linda McCartney veggie burger and a vegetarian English breakfast specially made for me by the old lady who ran our B&B. She was so kind to cater to me! Also had a beautiful English tea with scones, little sandwiches and pastry served by church ladies in the church itself! It was really loverly.
I'm so tempted to send a box of stuff from UK to them so the ladies can try some authentic British food in the correct combinations. It was a good effort but not quite right.
@@jonathanfinan722it may have been fried bread, that was what i assumed anyway, even though i've never met anybody who actually has fried bread since it's just greasy and not great lol
Cornish pasties are the mother of empanadas. British miners that immigrated to mexico brought the pasties with them and their mexican wives etc adapted them with Mexican ingredients...Maiz flour etc
Cornish pasties are from Cornwall as the name suggests. Farmers and tin miners wives cooked this for their men to eat at work. Proper Cornish pasties have very thick crusts that farmers and miners held with their dirty hands so they could eat the pie without getting it dirty. The crust was then thrown away
@@craignewell5728and theres a welsh version too. I forgot name but welsh pastie would probably get the results. They copied the cornish with their own flair to it. Cornish pasties without a doubt one of the best dishes ever.
@@craignewell5728 Empanada literally means 'to coat in bread.' So even a floured, and breaded piece of meat with crumbs coating it and deep or pan fried is an empanada. I know this because my mum is spanish and made this a lot as a child for me. So, empanada has flexibility with recipes. The one most recognised is the version that has pastry. But breadcrumb coated cuts of meat can also be an empanada.
😅 you should see the pakistani translations of foreign foods on tribal people try channel. it's an amusing manglement of what natives would call normal. find myself saying, never heard of that here 😆
The one mama doesn't like nothing!! LOL!! She's the one that smacks the kids with the flip-flop! Too funny. The one in the jacket likes it all! The other mama like almost all too. They are all precious.
Shout out to Mexico from a Brit, you have to be in the top 3 best food in the world for me, this video was cute too we tend to have some different combos than in this video and it’s not all steamed carrots and peas though they’re common 😂❤
Those chips look so sad. A good chippie has chunky chips that you soak with the vinegar and a little salt. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside
Yes. But there are plenty of sad chips in the UK too. Im American but I lived on the isle of Skye at lealt falls. We used to travel from there to Inverness. The best chippy I ever had in the UK was in Kyle lochalsh. When we lived in England the chippy nearby was not great. As an aside, the best Indian restaurant I went to in Britain was in portree on the isle of Skye.
Not everyone eats just fish and chips from chippy. Literally can buy battered fish and frozen chips from your local shop. Its what your mum makes when she doesn't want to go to chippy
Gotta say, as a Brit. My favourite cuisine is Mexican. So I was happy to see this video. We, the Brits, get a lot of flack for our food currently. But there's a reason we produce so many great chefs... British food is excellent.
@@william6682bangin’ is a slang for “extremely good” and the name of the dish is “bangers and mash”, but in the dish “bangers” are the sausages. She was very clever in making use the slang in that context.
The fish and chips in this video is nothing like the fish and chips you will ever get from a fish and chip shop here in the UK. Big Ben is the name of the Bell inside the tower and NOT the tower itself.
Big Ben is a nickname variously applied to the clock, the bell, and the tower. It's not an official name for any. The bell is officially called "the great bell". Nothing incorrect about it being used as a nickname for any of the three.
@@nealgrimes4382Exactly! The point of British food is that we don’t have to drown our food in spices to mask the flavour of poor quality ingredients. Using frozen food just defeats the purpose. May as well have a pre-packed Tesco curry at that point.
Glad you lassies enjoyed. Wee correction, it's named The Elizabeth Tower, after our late beloved Queen, RIP. Big Ben is the name of the great bell inside. Be well, cheers from Scotland.
@@nealgrimes4382 Fruit pudding is not something standard, with a full Scottish. Haggis and Black pudding, with Lorne Sausage and Tattie Scones would be, along with the Bacon, fried eggs, sausage links, mushrooms, grilled/fried tomatoes and baked beans.
@@Thurgosh_OG It's still just an imitation of a Full English, the only thing that's really different is Haggis, my Dad often made Potato cakes with Breakfast, Lorne Sausage is meh, give me a good Cumberland or Lincolnshire Sausage any Day.
Thank you for trying our food with open minds and respect! A lot of our food is about comfort and I think some of it is similar to Mexicans with our love of beans.
Looked good. The beans were wrong, should have been Heinz. And I'm pretty sure the cole slaw is American. It should have been mushy peas. Still very fun to watch.
Mashed potatoes in UK always need a big knob of butter and a few handfuls of cheese with salt and pepper. That mixed with bangers and veg and gravy is TOP TIER
I'm British and super excited for this video! Wish Lucy was in this video too, because she loves drinking coca cola and I want to have inspiration as to which national cuisine goes well with coca cola. Martha not knowing The Beatles came from the UK hurt my British soul badly lol
No, they don't. UK Adults consume about the same amount of units of alcohol per person, per year, as they do cups of tea. Beer is only one of the drinks consumed and therefore is, on its own, quite a bit less than the total number of Teas drunk.
I don't actually fault them for not getting every answer about British history, culture, monuments etc, I mean if you asked a British person about Mexican history we wouldn't have a single clue, so they still know more about us than we do them.
It would be great to see them try some more British food. Things like chips and curry which is a chippy staple, toad in the hole, a Sunday roast, bread and butter pudding, Eton mess, scones and maybe even a chicken tikka masala to throw them off a bit!
I was getting ready to hear them say the food was bland and lacked spice but was pleasantly surprised. Loved it when the lady said bangers and mash reminded her of Argentina! Not something I would ever expect to hear.

@@derek-press Yes that was another favourite and east to eat as is when you are hungover.
I had a student from Mexico who kept going on about how he loved the food in London, especially the various types of meat pies.
He should come to Lancashire the spiritual home of the savoury Pies, but yes Pies rule.
Videos like these are how you can tell when Americans talk bad about British food it's always projection from ignorance. Mexican food is amazing and it's nice to see how people from countries with actual food cultures appreciate others. These ladies were so sweet and super respectful and, most importantly, open minded. Cultures are often more connected than not. I'm Filipino British and the Philippines and Mexico are so similar to begin with but seeing them say some of the British food reminded them of foods they make for their families was super heart warming! Thank you for this video and thank you to the ladies!
This isn't even British food. It's Americans doing British food badly.
I love all of them. They were all so sweet and very respectful of others cooking.
As a Brit…I gotta show some love for Mexican food aswell! Some of my favourite foods mate… Viva 🇲🇽
There's a Cornish pastie connection to Mexico, in Hidalgo Cornish miners brought the recipe across in the 1800's. Thees even a cornish pastie museum in Real Del Monte and that town has lots of establishments selling them, traditional and more catered to Mexican ingredients/tastes (locally called 'pastes')
As a Brit I am very proud we get a Mexican stamp of approval 🇲🇽 🇬🇧
Always 🇲🇽🤝🇬🇧 (just don’t tell our Irish friends, when we’re with them they must take 1st place for helping us in the American War)
Btw, your name “overwavezz” reminds me of the very popular Mexican waltz called “Over the Waves” or “Uber Den Wellen” thought to be an Austrian or German waltz 😂
@@Duquedecastro That's really interesting! I never knew about that when I made this name but it's cool to see it has another meaning!
I love my fish and chips drenched in salt and vinegar but even I thought dipping the chips in the vinegar was not going to be delicious. And all respect to Alma, she's not got a sweet tooth, she clearly values nutrition etc, but she's just plain wrong about tea...it's delicious and I won't be told otherwise - it's like my religion. Tea when you're cold, tea to cool down, tea when you're sad, tea when you're happy, tea for comfort, tea just to break up the day...with none of the potential heart symptoms of coffee if you drink a lot. Love these ladies' reactions though - I was very much expecting them to damn it all for lack of flavour 🤣
These ladies are very kind towards our native dishes. Bangers and mash with onion gravy is a favourite. The fish and chips was a friday night special and the fish is generally shared as to expensive to have 1 each. A sprinkle of salt and a splash of vinegar is a base flavour, then you have either mushy peas, chip shop style curry sauce or some would have a beef gravy (not me)
Glad tou enjoyed them, if you do every try marmite on toast please put butter on your toast first and a light scraping of marmite then have a poached egg with it..the runny yolk is the winner here 😊
A splash?!? You have to drown them in enough vinegar to float the Royal Navy and then save a few sailors with islands of salt!
Speak for yourself i wouldn't share my Fish and Chips.
Next time an American claims that Britain has “bland food” - I’m going to show them this! These lovely ladies seemed to really enjoy it, and what they were served doesn’t even look like good British food!
And these where not even the best examples, i could improve most of them tenfold
I honestly think we could do an even better video!! The first woman is not even a traditional Mexican mother. Real Mexicans and Real Brits have to get together
People misjudge British food. I first when i moved here in England , 25 Years ago, I used to criticise and compare it with the one from where I come from... Then i decided to understand that it wasn't bad, but different. And once you understand that, you can't have enough of it. I love my Sheppard pies, bangers and mash, my chippy, Sunday roast with all the trimmings and obviously.. Full English breakfast.... The French say they have the best food in the world, but also the Spaniards and Italians, africans and Indians.. but England es the only country that have all the best foods from all over the world 😂😂😂 and yet its native food is excellent and it comes with history, story and sentiments. There's no best cuisine in the world... They are just different
That's a joke and I will take it as a joke and not try to argue over food because food is like god, turn the other cheek. BRITISH FOOD THE BEST IN THE WORLD GET OUTTA HERE.
@@WraithTheSlayer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏
Finally someone that agrees with me! I've lived in many places and come from countries that also claim to be the best, but i get so annoyed when people judge based on shallow stereotypes. I think British and Americans get a lot of flack but nobody really knows their traditional food.
You have to experience our climate before you can truly appreciate our food.
@@WraithTheSlayer They said "best from all over the world" so I imagine as in migrant communities included, i.e. Chinese food in the UK is better than the rest of Europe, Indian food in the UK is the best outside South Asia etc. The only thing not done well is Central and South American bc we have less foreign communities here.
I spent two weeks in London and my fave food experiences were a Linda McCartney veggie burger and a vegetarian English breakfast specially made for me by the old lady who ran our B&B. She was so kind to cater to me! Also had a beautiful English tea with scones, little sandwiches and pastry served by church ladies in the church itself! It was really loverly.
aye, real catering if it were anything but a linda mccartney, thats bottom barrel junk
@@bigfrankfraser1391 It's not even a good veggie sausage.
@@nealgrimes4382 ive never met a vegan who liked her food
I dont care what anyone says, I love Linda mc Cartney food!! The veggie burgers are bangin in my opinion 👍
You should get out more and meet some real people.
I'm so tempted to send a box of stuff from UK to them so the ladies can try some authentic British food in the correct combinations.
It was a good effort but not quite right.
Send them to ME 😂
No butter on the toast. No wonder she didn't like it.
@@jonathanfinan722 Same as i thought dry toast also no fried bread.
@@jonathanfinan722I didn't notice that and wondered why they pulled a face.
@@jonathanfinan722it may have been fried bread, that was what i assumed anyway, even though i've never met anybody who actually has fried bread since it's just greasy and not great lol
I'm English and love videos like this I'm glad you guys liked our food.
In the UK we mostly eat custard with hot desserts like fruit crumbles.
🇬🇧❤🇲🇽 Thank you for enjoying our food, ladies! xx
Cornish pasties are the mother of empanadas. British miners that immigrated to mexico brought the pasties with them and their mexican wives etc adapted them with Mexican ingredients...Maiz flour etc
Cornish pasties are from Cornwall as the name suggests. Farmers and tin miners wives cooked this for their men to eat at work. Proper Cornish pasties have very thick crusts that farmers and miners held with their dirty hands so they could eat the pie without getting it dirty. The crust was then thrown away
Of course they did. Obviously once they'd become Spanish?
@@craignewell5728and theres a welsh version too. I forgot name but welsh pastie would probably get the results. They copied the cornish with their own flair to it.
Cornish pasties without a doubt one of the best dishes ever.
@@-._A2._- Oggies
@@craignewell5728 Empanada literally means 'to coat in bread.'
So even a floured, and breaded piece of meat with crumbs coating it and deep or pan fried is an empanada.
I know this because my mum is spanish and made this a lot as a child for me. So, empanada has flexibility with recipes. The one most recognised is the version that has pastry. But breadcrumb coated cuts of meat can also be an empanada.
We never have coleslaw with our fish and chips.
😅 you should see the pakistani translations of foreign foods on tribal people try channel. it's an amusing manglement of what natives would call normal. find myself saying, never heard of that here 😆
I never have coleslaw at all, it's vomit salad. Many disgusting things I'd rather eat than that
Yeah where's the mushy peas?
@@drcl7429 sod the mushy peas, gotta be curry sauce
@@drcl7429don’t forget the chip shop curry sauce.
The one mama doesn't like nothing!! LOL!! She's the one that smacks the kids with the flip-flop! Too funny. The one in the jacket likes it all! The other mama like almost all too. They are all precious.
As a Mexican, I’ve always felt at home with British everything
Me too
Aw how sweet are these women 🥺
LOL LULU the ketchup queen! She's my favorite. So funny!
She reminds me of my tia like she was in the 80s. Love her.
Funny? You mean American funny. Not proper funny surely?
Lulu.... girl your rocking the brows they are on point. Everything looked good.
Every Cornish person wept at the sight of what is being called a Cornish pasty.
The star of a proper pasty is the chunks of steak.
All of us British folk grimaced in sympathy for you, we love our Cornish Pasties.
I'm a northener and I grimmaced at that 😂
Shout out to Mexico from a Brit, you have to be in the top 3 best food in the world for me, this video was cute too we tend to have some different combos than in this video and it’s not all steamed carrots and peas though they’re common 😂❤
So sweet, so polite. What lovely people.
So sweet, so polite so dumb.
@William6682 Relatives of yours?
Absolutely not, thankfully I'm not Mexican! Your siblings maybe?
@@william6682 She destroyed you. Badly.
Those chips look so sad. A good chippie has chunky chips that you soak with the vinegar and a little salt. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside
Yes. But there are plenty of sad chips in the UK too. Im American but I lived on the isle of Skye at lealt falls. We used to travel from there to Inverness. The best chippy I ever had in the UK was in Kyle lochalsh. When we lived in England the chippy nearby was not great. As an aside, the best Indian restaurant I went to in Britain was in portree on the isle of Skye.
Not everyone eats just fish and chips from chippy. Literally can buy battered fish and frozen chips from your local shop. Its what your mum makes when she doesn't want to go to chippy
@@-._A2._- Not mine, but i was raised in a Chippy, we lived upstairs and ran it.
The clock tower's name is "The Elizabeth Tower", but the bell inside that chimes is called "Big Ben."
as of 2012 yeah, but even the wikipedia (here, at least) says "big ben"
it’s actually called “The Great Bell”. Big Ben is just a nickname for the bell
@@josiptito9412 it's always just been the name of the Bell though
@@zigabone9982 true but they were talking about Big Ben, nickname or not.
Big Ben's inside Elizabeth 😂
Gotta say, as a Brit. My favourite cuisine is Mexican. So I was happy to see this video.
We, the Brits, get a lot of flack for our food currently. But there's a reason we produce so many great chefs... British food is excellent.
That was fun, those ladies were lovely.
Sending them ❤ from England
What an awesome reaction. I didn't expect they'd like any of of it but how much they did like was fantastic
I'm glad to see Alma back!! 😊❤
"That banger was bangin' foo" 😂
WHAT? explane please.
@@william6682bangin’ is a slang for “extremely good” and the name of the dish is “bangers and mash”, but in the dish “bangers” are the sausages. She was very clever in making use the slang in that context.
@@Upndouin Yes I know all the British slang words beacause I am British.
@@william6682 I guess I missed your sarcasm? 😂
I don't think I've ever smiled all the way through a video on UA-cam! You have a new sub! ❤❤😊😊
The fish and chips in this video is nothing like the fish and chips you will ever get from a fish and chip shop here in the UK. Big Ben is the name of the Bell inside the tower and NOT the tower itself.
It looked like a frozen dinner, everything should be made with fresh ingredients.
Big Ben is a nickname variously applied to the clock, the bell, and the tower. It's not an official name for any. The bell is officially called "the great bell". Nothing incorrect about it being used as a nickname for any of the three.
@@nealgrimes4382Exactly! The point of British food is that we don’t have to drown our food in spices to mask the flavour of poor quality ingredients. Using frozen food just defeats the purpose. May as well have a pre-packed Tesco curry at that point.
There's absolutely nothing interesting about fish and chips even in the uk. Just a average dish nothing to brag about
don't think i've ever considered a full english breakfast gourmet, but I'll take it, lovely ladies
Ngl, seeing those bangers and mash made me hungry AF and took me right back to my childhood.
That’s definitely going on the menu for this week.
@@7daylover sage & onion! bro, I can practically taste it already! 🤤
Glad you lassies enjoyed.
Wee correction, it's named The Elizabeth Tower, after our late beloved Queen, RIP.
Big Ben is the name of the great bell inside.
Be well, cheers from Scotland.
6:36 that is not a pasty. Pasties are also served on their own. They’re a meal in themselves
An interpretation of British food, in all my 33 years I've never seen our food look so American.
Loving how much these Mexican mums are loving our food. Good simple nosh, with quality ingredients. We love Mexican food for the same reasons!
You should try proper mexican food someday, just make sure to not add so much spicy on your food, greetings from Guadalajara haha!
@@donaquinilator4959 Ya he visitado a Mexico muchos veces, me encanta! :)
LOVE engish food! Full english is amazing! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Full Scottish is even better
@@tarachristie933 apart from fruit pudding that's nasty.
@@nealgrimes4382 Fruit pudding is not something standard, with a full Scottish. Haggis and Black pudding, with Lorne Sausage and Tattie Scones would be, along with the Bacon, fried eggs, sausage links, mushrooms, grilled/fried tomatoes and baked beans.
@@Thurgosh_OG It's still just an imitation of a Full English, the only thing that's really different is Haggis, my Dad often made Potato cakes with Breakfast, Lorne Sausage is meh, give me a good Cumberland or Lincolnshire Sausage any Day.
Big Ben is the name of the bell in the tower rather than the tower itself which is called Elizabeth Tower
I've never tried British food before but I really enjoyed watching the Mamah's in this video 😊😍
More like the Three Stooges.
Thank you for trying our food with open minds and respect! A lot of our food is about comfort and I think some of it is similar to Mexicans with our love of beans.
Looked good. The beans were wrong, should have been Heinz. And I'm pretty sure the cole slaw is American. It should have been mushy peas. Still very fun to watch.
It didn't look good, they all looked like poor versions, they could be improved drastically.
Mashed potatoes in UK always need a big knob of butter and a few handfuls of cheese with salt and pepper. That mixed with bangers and veg and gravy is TOP TIER
I love Lulu she always tells it like it is. I would totally hangout with her
Just found my Friday afternoon YT rabbit hole, Mexican Mamas trying food from around the world. Awesome.
I'm British and super excited for this video! Wish Lucy was in this video too, because she loves drinking coca cola and I want to have inspiration as to which national cuisine goes well with coca cola.
Martha not knowing The Beatles came from the UK hurt my British soul badly lol
You should see how many British bands that the Yanks think are 'American'.
8:00 Answer is none of them, Correct answer is Elizabeth Tower,
Big Ben is the name of the biggest Bell inside the clock tower.
Fish, chips and coleslaw..... this is a new one on me!
these ladies made me happy, they should be ambassadors for england from mexico... :)
The ladies are very kind. xxx
"Which of these drinks do the British love?"
Yes.
Ngl, recently I've been watching these just to hear Xóchitl go "click click" 🤭
The lady with the glasses reminds me of a mob wife 😂
I KNEW I LOVED THE BEUTIFUL PEOPLE OF MEXICO!!!🎉🎉🎉
King Carlos. Loved that. I was good at Spanish at school but I've forgotten it all now.
I'm sorry she is right about the British drinking beer. British people drink as much beer as they do tea
No, they don't. UK Adults consume about the same amount of units of alcohol per person, per year, as they do cups of tea. Beer is only one of the drinks consumed and therefore is, on its own, quite a bit less than the total number of Teas drunk.
Often had fishfingers with coleslaw (and usually some peas and mashed potato) as a kid. Never had it with a piece of battered cod or haddock though.
We love beer more than tea i think. There's like 2 pubs around every corner
I was literally drinking tea and eating a couple of digestive biscuits watching that lol.
Rise hand if you love mamahs and shepherds pie! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✋✋✋✋✋✋
Should have given them the cursed food like Haggis, Jellied Eels and Black Pudding
@@foxernatorBlack pudding is good. Outside of the US, blood sausage is common in many cultures
Grate some nutmeg, about half a seed into the meat of shepherds pie, makes it extra special
@@foxernatorI think you meant to write "foods of the gods"😄
@@michaelcaffery5038you can keep the jellied eels mate 😂
Thank you for trying our food!
7:08 - You're our homie too gorgeous, nothing but love 👊
I don't actually fault them for not getting every answer about British history, culture, monuments etc, I mean if you asked a British person about Mexican history we wouldn't have a single clue, so they still know more about us than we do them.
It would be great to see them try some more British food. Things like chips and curry which is a chippy staple, toad in the hole, a Sunday roast, bread and butter pudding, Eton mess, scones and maybe even a chicken tikka masala to throw them off a bit!
The monument is actually called The Elizabeth Tower…. Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower.
Fish & Chips-“Yeah only at Long John Silvers” 😂😂😂
game: how far in til she says FOO" ? lol UPDATE 3:33 That banger was banging foo!
I know huh....they got 2 messikin momz but someone snuck in a CHICANA!!!
its all luv tho
Chicano pride!
This series just makes me love Mexicans. Every pastry or bread item is an empanada. I love it
I can't wait to watch this, also keep up the great vids/work!! 🥰😇
"damn they like potatoes!" lol yes maam we love em
me sentí representado cuando alma dijo "a los plebes" 😭
WHAT? please translate to a civilised language.
@@william6682 Shut up William.
I love how they call king Charles Carlos, reminds me of my mum 😂😂😂
I was getting ready to hear them say the food was bland and lacked spice but was pleasantly surprised. Loved it when the lady said bangers and mash reminded her of Argentina! Not something I would ever expect to hear.
and yeah we never have coleslaw with fish and chips, but most of the other stuff seemed legit.
Get them back on and give them a scone with clotted cream and jam, middle mama will pass out I swear it’s that good
