06:55 Filet Americain has nothing to do with America or Americans, but with the American hotel on Leidseplein in Amsterdam. The hotel's restaurant is called Bar Americain and it is here that on July 10, 1895, the signature combination of tartare (minced raw beef) and herbs with broth was first served to none other than Mata Hari! ✌🏼
Here in the Netherlands we have frankfurters which are higher quality, good and 'German' and hot dogs which are the bad, cheap and 'American'. Filet Americain comes from Belgium in the 1920's. It has nothing to do with WW2 but the name was chosen because the US was trendy at that time. It's perfectly safe if there is proper quality control on the ingredients.
I don't think anyone in Germany believes that Amerikaner (the pastry) is actually American. I certainly never thought so. Peanut butter is often American themed here.😅
@@wWvwvV The origin of the name is actually unclear. There are several speculations as to where the name originated from. The one you mentioned is one of the theories.
There are American goods in Germany that are sold here. However, these are adapted for the European market without the additives that the American products contain. These are known to be banned here.
The “ Amerikaner” is not called an American food in Germany. There are various theories as to where the name comes from, but it's not because it's believed to be an American recipe. We are guilty of the hot dog pizza (8:26). This is our revenge for the so called German Christmas pickle, the pretzel with mustard, the goetta and more 🤣🤣🤣. I also apologize to the Italians. I'm ashamed of my fellow Germans.😖 😂😂😂
Growing up in France I remember calling large double-doors fridges (America fridges) and kitchens that are open to the living room (American Kitchens) 😅
In Belgium, France, the UK, ... in the '60's and '70's, there were "American Surplus" stores: they were very basic hangar-like stores where one could buy for a very reasonable price all sorts of (new) army garb and equiment ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or camping: compasses, field glasses, mini outdoor stoves, etc. I love them and bought shirts, shorts, Ray-Ban (the best in the world, then) sunglasses and even, in London, a Royal Navy cadet-size buttonless jacket (that I've still got and cherish!). Mixed with city clothes, they look pretty stylish.
The kebab shop near me also offers a hot dog pizza. Includes roasted onions and cucumber slices. Along with kebab, currywurst with pommes, cheeseburger with pommes and salami pizza, this is one of my favorite dishes there. Absolutely great. 👍
I did indeed thought Rollercoasters were invented in the US, like Disneyland and stuff. Everyone calls them American Small Mountains (literal translation). Also besides red cups, we also think having lockers in schools is specific to the US. I always dreamt of having my own locker when I was younger. In high school our school gave us some shelves to put books, without locks and shared by the whole class. It was the closest thing we got, I was so happy.
In almost all italian pizza places they serve "pizza americana" which is pizza with hot dog and french fries on it. Mostly children eat it and it's actually pretty good.
japanese people dont think americans eat fried chicken or that theyre doing an american tradition. Eating kfc at chrismas is a new japanese tradition. I dont believe that he talked to japanese people that were suprised, japanese people watch western shows and movies they know about the trees and roast dinners etc. Just because america or american is written doesnt mean people think americans eat that or that it is an american product, especially when it says american STYLE theyre clearly on the branding showing you that lol. Also some of these just seem like lies, theres 0 chance someone in a european resturant is pouring a can of mac n cheese (which is british btw) onto bread and calling it a pizza.
you can defo find "american pizza" on polish pizza places menus. It's not a specific one, each place has something different under that name. Usually it's heavy with meats can have fires or bbq sauce. It's not one of the classics that you know what to expect
In France, we have the “American quarter hour”. That is to say the moment in an evening or a party, it is the women who invite the men to dance with them. It dates back to the 70s, with the first women's liberation movements.
I dont think in recent years its a good notion anymore if food is called "American". I rather stay away from that stuff. I mean, some real American food is outright illegal in the EU, for the dodgy ingrediants it has. Also McD and KFC ect. are not regarded as high class. Its just cheap and you know what you get, thats all. I know there is some really nice food in the US too, in the southern states mainly, but thats rarely seen here in Germany. And why the little cakes are called "Amerikaner" I have no idea. They were called that already when I was a little kid, 60 years ago. I loved them, especially the chocolate side... :)
Maybe instead of the - > 60 Years ago - yeast used for the dough the "Amerikaner" has a lot of baking powder - something that was seen as "used in the USA". Or maybe because there are black and White oversugared variants and the only occupiers with a lot of black and White soldiers where the americans.
@@DSP16569 Baking powder was sold in Germany since 1902 - by Dr Oetker - and also the Amerikaner in my youth were made with that. They can have different names in some parts of Germany, btw.
oh yeah, that sausage pizza isnt bad. Yes there is a lot of hotdog stuff,but mostly its all kinds of weird burgers and ranch dressing on everything,especially chips
G'day guys, If you are looking for information about anything this is the last guy you want to go to. Please take what this guy says with a grain of salt. He is everything but impartial in any matter. He is not a reputable journalist in Canada, and for good reasons. If you are looking for infos about anything this dude is the last guy you should get your informations from. Sorry to tell you.
Oreo's and Pop-tarts are not exotic. Nor are they faux USA. They are a small example of products available elsewhere in the world. The US really has no food of its own so it is reasonable. A Canadian aboot?
It’s just like how American UA-cam reactors have exoticised marmite as British. Sure people eat it here, and some eat it a lot, but it’s really not a terribly popular spread or filling compared to others (eg jam, butter, cheese etc) and you’d hardly ever find it in our pre packaged sandwiches or in cafes etc.
So this guy is canadian and not USAsian ? Of course its not wrong when he calls him an american, and so can of course also a guy from Brasil or Chile can make the same video and tell that in "his" america all that stuff is not typical. But since normally people mean USAians (how i call them now) when they say "americans" its of course a bit misleading. I mean, just imagine good old Donny Redskin Trump would also include the Mexians (who are also americans) when he says "America first" 😄😄

exactly
The original name was Ammoniakaner (ammonia -> baking soda). But too difficult to pronounce it over time shifted to Amerikaner.

Here in Norway "helt texas" is a normal expression to describe something that went crazy and out of hand.
be careful this canadian guy in this video is going to think that people in norway believe that texas is constantly out of hand... or something lol.
A1 steak sauce was invented in England. There's nothing American about it at all.
As is apple pie
@@cupid_stunt7414 Noone outside of America thinks that apple pie is American.
You should definetely check more JJ videos, he has some very good ones
Filet American is actually really good!.
It is!
Also, it has nothing to do with America or Americans, but rather the establishment where it was first created… hotel Americain in Amsterdam.
I've seen fries on pizza as "American style"
In almost all italian pizza places they serve "pizza americana" which is pizza with hot dog and french fries on it. Mostly children eat it and it's actually pretty good.
Ironically, the term "fauxthentic" is one example of the exoticisation he's talking aboot. 😄

Pretty sure they’re western movies produced by Italians
