@@SteveVi0lence depends on your view of using chemical weapons and physical force on law abiding, unarmed, FLEEING citizens that are complying with orders.

The illusion is too much to bear.
@@jwb52z9 A windbreak is a device or construction that blocks the wind. A windbreaker is a jacket that is not porous to the wind that is usually completely lacking in insulation against the cold.

As somebody who lives in Jersey and has gone to the shore every year of my life I gotta say I've never heard of rippers. Funnel cake and pizza are the standard around me at least
Me, too! Fried shrimp, crab cakes, pizza, funnel cakes, frozen custard, fudge & salt water taffy are what I think of. Never heard of rippers “down the shore” in NJ!
Old Bay. People love it and, sorry, but it doesn't taste like anything really. Hardly any zip at all. Lawry's Seasoned Salt is close only actually has flavor. Oh well.
Cadbury Flake = rolled seized chocolate. My thanks to Ann Reardon for confirming the solution to that mystery. Rock of Sugar: We have these in America, only they're simply called candy sticks and are sold in various tourist shops, including the general store section of Cracker Barrel. Something else popular on California beaches are ice cream novelties, including, but not limited to the Choco Taco, the Push=Up, Drumsticks, Mr. Goodbar, and Bounty ice cream bars. Rides on the beach are confined to horseback rides. These are more common in Texas, though some areas of other coastal states still have places where you can rent a horse for a seaside trot or canter. We actually have 3 oceans along our American coasts - the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Arctic. And while there is no doubt sea life underneath the arctic ice sheets, few have been so daring as to explore their depths, especially since shifts in the ice can make surfacing for air a gamble that is literally breath-taking.
The giant “flake” was mysterious and did not address the ‘elephant’ in the ice cream for me, ah so that’s the flake, although I have yet to look up “seized” chocolate. I assumed flake meant the giant curl. Completely missed that in its entirety.
From what I can tell, Vera Lynn's version of White Cliffs of Dover was hardly known in the US at the time. The Wikipedia article for the song says "it was made most famous by Vera Lynn." But it actually should say that was only true in Britain. Written by 2 Americans, Walter Kent and Nat Burton (who I'm sure had no idea about the lack of Blue Birds in Britain), the song was introduced on American radio by Kate Smith who had a top 10 hit with it. Glenn Miller then had a No1 hit version. Both of those were in 1941. Lynn didn't record it until 1942. I think the song, her version in particular, has just been better remembered in Britain mostly because it has greater resonance hitorically among the British than among Americans. (I aIso suspect that Vera Lynn renains relatively unknown in the US, certainly compared to American WW II era performers like the Andrew Sisters and Glenn Miller.)
If Americans know Vera Lynn at all, it's probably from her recording of "We'll Meet Again" that was played over a montage of nuclear bombs going off at the end of "Dr. Strangelove."
Wow, you know so many American beach foods I'd never heard of, and I'm an American who loves the beach! Beautiful beach scent to open the video. I want to be there! I wish we had beach huts. It takes too much planning just to figure out how to change clothing. I'd forgotten about Aaron Carter.
I live in the Daytona Beach area, I have for 52 of my 63 years. I've also a large Italian-American family in New England. I am very fond of clam cakes and digging for clams on rather inhospitable New England beaches when I was a child. In Florida my experience has been with sea turtles nest hatches, shark fishing, ice cream vendors, surfers and massive hurricanes threatening my home with depressing regularity. The ice cream treat you featured from England looks delicious and I want one NOW. Thank you so much for your entertaining and enlightening vids, I always look forward to them.
In Central and North coastal California beaches, it's all about seafood. Crab, mussels, oysters, clams, and yes, we also enjoy a nice fish with chips. The acai bowl is more of a Southern California beach thing.
@@waynepurcell6058 - Thank you for that, as it completely flew over my head as well. I need to get 'out' more. I've never had one, but I bet I'd enjoy it, as I'm fond of all its pieces.
The dry wit. I'm dying. 😂 I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not a beach person and haven't been for some time. Still, I appreciated knowing the differences between English and American beaches. 🙂 Thanks, Laurence! And btw, great beach body! 😉♥️
In South Texas, on North Padre, there aren't boardwalks or shops on the beach. You can drive your car down to the spot you want. Beach food is whatever you bring in your cooler, but it is nice to get a fruit cup, paleta, or sno cone on your way home.
At Mid-Atlantic beaches, french fries with vinegar are a favorite. Seagulls like them, too. Leave your fries bucket unattended while in the water, the seagulls will swoop down and help themselves. There is a bit of an echo with your audio.
I've never lived closer than five hours from the beach, so I don't have much experience, but I did take a school trip to an NJ beach town (it was awful: shops were closed, it was HOT with nothing to do, my friend got sliced by a murderous crab, and three students got severe heat stroke -- two had paramedics rushed to them, and one of them had to be taken to a hospital), and I clearly remember the gulls working in tandem. Two would swoop around your head to disorient you, while another would circle your body, all in an attempt to get you to drop your food for their moocher friends on the ground. I haven't thought of this in fifteen years. Now I'm distraught all over again.
beachgirl - I'm from Long Island, born and raised, so that's a mid-Atlantic state I believe, and not to contradict you, but until ten years ago, in a discussion I was having with a Brit, I had never heard of vinegar on chips (fries), let alone Malt vinegar (which I've never run out of since). Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention (it's been known to happen), but I don't recall ever seeing someone put vinegar (of any sort) on fries, but yes, I do that now. What everyone else is saying about how agressive the gulls can be, regarding fries (for some reason), I concurr. They don't wait for you to turn your back before they attack, and close up, they are bigger birds than most people realize.
@@sluttymctits4496 - What a great handle. You sure did double down on that one, didn'tcha? I won't step on your toes, but one way or another, I'm gonna steal me a bit of that. Very funny stuff. As to your field trip from hell, no wonder you have a sense of humor. Thanks for the laugh, sincerely. Don't be too distraught, as in a year or so, we'll probably all look back at this time and say, Remember back then, when all life went to hell in a handbasket, well, we made it thru, didn't we? Hopefully, that's how it will work out. Keep the faith and take it easy on yourself and others, if you can. I know it can be hard to do, but trying times do require a bit of 'try'. I'm doing the best I can, as well, but you know it don't come easy (as the song reminds us).
My childhood beach was where most of Jaws 2 was filmed. Now you can stop at McGuires Pub for fish & chips, shepherds pie, brown bread and pints on the way home [it’s just NW of the 3-mile bridge]
I miss the beach!!! I grew up in bayou country near the Gulf of Mexico. The drive seemed to take forever... less time after roads were paved, and more enjoyable when cars had air conditioners.... Driving over gravel, and with no air conditioning, for what seemed like hours... it was a long, hot trip! If I could live in Santa Barbara, that would be my heaven. There's something magical about the climate there, it feels soothing and healing...
Here in New Jersey, we have two ways of saying where we are going. First, if you live away from the coast, then you are "going to the Shore". However, once you are at the Shore, then you head off to the beach ( not forgetting your beach tag)
I was born in Montana. I have been to the ocean beach exactly twice. Once to the Atlantic in Rehoboth, Delaware, and once to the Pacific in Los Angeles. I don't miss either. I spent my summers in the mountains at my folks cabin.
Back in my youth, during a vacation to the east coast (Long Island) my bf and I earned a bit of extra spending money painting not a beach hut, but a Cabana.One of my fondest memories of that vacation. Not just because I quite like painting, but mostly because, afterward, we got to sit in beach chairs and have 'cabana boys' bring us drinks!
In the US we have "sticks of Rock" we just call them "Rock Candy" or "Stick candy," and yes, they are typically sold in little shops at the beach, along with fudge, salt-water taffy, cotton candy, and popcorn.
Back in the sixties there was a lollipop sold in the US named a "Jet Pop" IIRC that a miniature version of those beach sticks. It was eventually banned. Sucking on the end sharpened it into a spike and a trip+fall could then drive it through the roof of the mouth.
Lived in Massachusetts all my life life and never seen the items your mentioned. Depending on region, items I've seen in various popularity are Fried Clam Bellies, Fried Clam Strips, Friend Scallops, Fish and Chips, and Roast Beef Sandwiches. Although if you can find Fried Oysters, I highly recommend those.
California girl here. Fish and chips are definitely beloved on the central coast, as well as clam chowder (best served in a sourdough bread bowl). Also, salt water taffy.
I’m from Michigan and I don’t recall getting smelt at the beach at all. We would get smelt in restaurants. Typical beach food:hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, snow cones, popcorn were always available at concession stands
I’m sure we must’ve eaten something while at Lake Michigan, but I sure don’t recall any particular food. Probably bread and cheese we brought, plus fruit picked up at farm stands along the way.
Where I'm from in Canada, we call that sort of fence a windbreak and we call the light jacket a windbreaker. Mind you, come to think of it, I haven't heard anyone call them windbreakers for years. I even remember when light jackets were called Squall jackets.... As you can see, that was a long time ago. Crow!
Americans sometimes bring beach tents or beach umbrellas, which will block wind as well as sun, if needed. Others bring a large blanket, which won't block the wind, but will hold down a lot of nearby sand.
I've been in Southern California my whole life and I've never seen that fruit bowl thing you showed. We mostly have bacon wrapped hot dogs with grilled peppers and mayonnaise, fresh dipped corn dogs and of course tacos especially fish tacos. Fish tacos are breaded deep fried fish with shredded fresh cabbage, a mayonnaise like cream sauce (crema) and spicy salsa. The regular tacos are 2 small corn tortillas (fish tacos usually have larger ones), choice of meat ( carne asada/marinated steak, chicken also marinated, pastor/marinated pork with pineapple, carnitas/fried pork, cabesa/beef cheeks, lengua/beef tongue or tripas/beef guts ) cilantro, raw chopped onions and spicy salsa. If you make to L.A. the beacon wrapped hot dogs and tacos are a must. The corn dog you can probably get anywhere. You show is awesome.
Yup clamcakes. I hate seafood but the smell of clamcakes gets me everytime. Brings me back to my childhood! In RI we have "beach huts"; called beach houses here. I have seen a hurricane take them out but they just got rebuilt after. They are typically simply built and cost a small fortune every summer. (worth it though)
Grew up in Jersey....lived at the shore...and I've NEVER heard of a "ripper". ...Pizza, Sausage & Pepper sandwiches, and Kohr's Ice cream come to mind....as well as Johnsons Popcorn, Berkley Sweet shop fudge ( choclates as well..but the fudge was my favorite) and yes Cotton Candy. Rippers? nope...MAYBE an Italian Hot Dog...
We have that hard stick candy, but we make it differently. It's called rock candy, and its little razor sharp bits on a stick. Also, another pronunciation difference, -Ukulele . We pronounce it you ka lay lee. The east coast also has Salt water taffy, and wild horses.
I have alligator meat in my freezer right now. My husband bought it from a reputable butcher, but I’m not about that life when it’s then cooked by civilians. My husband is getting too bold thinking he knows how to cook in quarantine. #Floridalife? #someonesaveme. 🏳️
In the Maryland, predominately in Ocean City, they serve "boardwalk" fries. These also are also available in Delaware and New Jersey and Virginia. Thrashers is the place to go in Ocean City for these fries. Thicker cut then standard french fries, and usually drenched in vinegar, although other toppings are available including another Maryland favorite called "Old Bay". Old day is the predominant variant have a blend of seasonings also referred to as Chesapeake Bay seasoning. Old Bay is used on shrimp, crabs, and various seafood, it can also be added to tartar sauce and used on fish. Maryland is well known for its crabs, but these are not usually eaten well sunbathing on the beach. They are usually eaten visiting the beach but usually after add a sunbathing when one goes to a more substantial restaurant to get something to eat and relax when the day is over. Coney Island Hot Dogs, or at least a reasonable facsimile is also Beach food, as are corn dogs. However there is one food you cannot really find anywhere but the beach. Salt water taffy! There are a number of places along the Ocean City Boardwalk in which to buy salt water taffy. Many of these places you can actually watch them making it. It starts out of gooey and thick and hardens up inside the rapper. Once you pop it in your mouth though it begins to become soft and gooey once again melting and chewy. Various different flavors some pieces with stripes some have none.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t even think there were donkeys in Britain. They just seem very unBritish. Guess you learn something new every day. Thanks to Lawrence I learn even more than that!
@@samanthab1923 I have said "the shore" my entire life way before either shows existed. Everyone I know does. Northern NJ here. It's ok you don't have to be so upset. Lol
JaxxieT I think the difference is most of the parents grew up in NYC. Mine summered out on LI. When we moved to Monmouth Co. the beach was only 10 miles away. In that little bubble, we were uniform in our beach reference.
You didn’t mention arcades which there are plenty in Meggies (what locals call Cleethorpes). Cleethorpes has the biggest fish and chip shop/restaurant on the pier.
In the US cotton candy is cotton candy, but making it, the sugar is still called floss. Sorry made cotton candy for 2 years thought id chime in. Great videos.
Another life-long New Jersey boy; (which we just call Jersey most of the time;) I've never heard of rippers either. And at at least in the Philly/South Jersey area we make a distinction between going to a shore town e.g. going to Atlantic City to gamble you would be going "down the shore." Once you are down the shore you can "go to the beach" to swim.
I had no idea you are from Cleggy! I'm from Scunthorpe!!! Give me them fish and chips any day. Cleethorpes is a lovely day out.

"Boo-ee"... a two syllable word spelled "buoy". I grew up in Southern California in the 70s and 80s. When "Jaws" came out, I couldn't enter the water for a couple YEARS. I was in my later years of elementary school, but couldn't grasp what "odds" were. I just knew if I entered the water, a great white would gulp me down - kinda sucked because I was a surfer for my whole life and that film put a halt to it for some great times.
Many people would stop going to the beach if they knew what a lot of that beautiful white sand really is......poop. You read it right, there is a fish, I believe it is mostly around coral reefs, but it eats the hard shell of the coral and that lovely sand comes out the other end. And after living about 30 odd years in Florida, I finally had my fill of beaches, so moved to the mountains.
Coney Island, Nathan’s hot dogs, cotton candy, pizza, fried clams. Ocean City N.J. and MD. Salt water taffy, molasses paddles, pizza 🍕, crab cakes, crab fries, frozen custard.
I'm surprised he didn't touch on the fact that Atlantic Puffins also do reside and breed in the northeastern U.S. One of the most well known spots for these alcids is Machias Seal Island, Maine. In the northeast we have other alcids as well such as Murres, Razorbills and Guillemots. Alcids are also found on the Pacific coast as well. And yes, you are correct as Britain does not have Bluebirds. In North America you will find three species... The Eastern Bluebird, Mountain Bluebird, and Western Bluebird.
You didn't mention all the pebble (shingle?) beaches in Britian which really surprised me the first time I went to Brighton! I thought the definition of beach was sand underfoot!
My Papaw told me a story of a Donkey basketball event. Players rode donkeys while playing basketball. You can imagine how frustrating for the players and entertaining for the spectators it would be. It was confirmed this was fact 20 years later when I met a man who had attended the event.
Wow. I haven't been to the beach for a LONG time! I've never heard of rippers and I live in NJ. To me beach food is salt water taffy, funnel cake, fudge and corn dogs. All junk food. LOL! Oh. And cotton candy.
"Boiled sweets" always sounded soggy and nasty. Turns out it's the sugar syrup that is boiled - dangerously hot - until it stays hard when it cools down. The ukulele was probably originally the Portuguese "machette". He missed the geoduck clam up in the Pacific Northwest. It looks extremely phallic.
Fish and chips at the seaside...yes, but a knife? Never! Eat it straight from the paper with your fingers (or maybe a little wooden fork) sitting in a shelter...usually in the rain LOL
Yes100 years is a long time as a percentage of the entire time of the European migrations. Start with 1620? Or, 1776 when a new nation was declared to exist? Or, when the real for real Constitution took effect?
How about more sea-related food- cockles, muscles, samphire, crab? What are the local traditional foods like these in places around America, rather than tourist food?

Americans sometimes bring beach tents or beach umbrellas, which will block wind as well as sun, if needed. Others bring a large blanket, which won't block the wind, but will hold down a lot of nearby sand.
I've been in Southern California my whole life and I've never seen that fruit bowl thing you showed. We mostly have bacon wrapped hot dogs with grilled peppers and mayonnaise, fresh dipped corn dogs and of course tacos especially fish tacos. Fish tacos are breaded deep fried fish with shredded fresh cabbage, a mayonnaise like cream sauce (crema) and spicy salsa. The regular tacos are 2 small corn tortillas (fish tacos usually have larger ones), choice of meat ( carne asada/marinated steak, chicken also marinated, pastor/marinated pork with pineapple, carnitas/fried pork, cabesa/beef cheeks, lengua/beef tongue or tripas/beef guts ) cilantro, raw chopped onions and spicy salsa. If you make to L.A. the beacon wrapped hot dogs and tacos are a must. The corn dog you can probably get anywhere. You show is awesome.
Yup clamcakes.
I hate seafood but the smell of clamcakes gets me everytime. Brings me back to my childhood!
In RI we have "beach huts"; called beach houses here. I have seen a hurricane take them out but they just got rebuilt after. They are typically simply built and cost a small fortune every summer. (worth it though)
Love your videos. Your sense of humor is outstanding.
The first time I saw beach huts was back in '00 in the Cape Town, S. Africa area, and to be honest, haven't seen them since.
Grew up in Jersey....lived at the shore...and I've NEVER heard of a "ripper". ...Pizza, Sausage & Pepper sandwiches, and Kohr's Ice cream come to mind....as well as Johnsons Popcorn, Berkley Sweet shop fudge ( choclates as well..but the fudge was my favorite) and yes Cotton Candy. Rippers? nope...MAYBE an Italian Hot Dog...
Sad that Dame Vera Lynn died this year. She was better known for the wonderful song "We'll Meet Again."
She was 103 and lived a marvelous life.
You missed Shave Ice for Hawaii. It's the best after a long beach day.
Had 99 flake and soft serve at the beach in Malta, AKA Britain South.
We have that hard stick candy, but we make it differently. It's called rock candy, and its little razor sharp bits on a stick. Also, another pronunciation difference, -Ukulele . We pronounce it you ka lay lee. The east coast also has Salt water taffy, and wild horses.
We had wind breaks in the 50's and 60's and I love the beach huts in Dorset and Devon
The thing about donkeys on the beach reminded me of Aunt Betsey Trotwood chasing donkeys off her lawn in "David Copperfield".
i love smelt, perch or walleye!
I love your humor!
No mention of shingle VS sand? Contrast the two Brighton beaches.
On foods, you missed the famous fresh fudge and salt water taffy frequently found at beaches in the states.
Truly enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Those beach fences are used more in North New Jersey.
That laugh when he says “while surfing has made some waves.... surfing” lmfao you can tell he tried hard to control it
Love your videos, glad to have you in America.
Oh, fresh New England fried whole belly clams with tartar sauce. There's nothing better.
4:29 That’s a great idea to have those!
I have alligator meat in my freezer right now. My husband bought it from a reputable butcher, but I’m not about that life when it’s then cooked by civilians. My husband is getting too bold thinking he knows how to cook in quarantine. #Floridalife? #someonesaveme. 🏳️
"Give me an alligator sandwich, and make it snappy.
Sorry, I had to read this twice as I first read it as "reptile butcher"
In the Maryland, predominately in Ocean City, they serve "boardwalk" fries. These also are also available in Delaware and New Jersey and Virginia. Thrashers is the place to go in Ocean City for these fries. Thicker cut then standard french fries, and usually drenched in vinegar, although other toppings are available including another Maryland favorite called "Old Bay". Old day is the predominant variant have a blend of seasonings also referred to as Chesapeake Bay seasoning. Old Bay is used on shrimp, crabs, and various seafood, it can also be added to tartar sauce and used on fish. Maryland is well known for its crabs, but these are not usually eaten well sunbathing on the beach. They are usually eaten visiting the beach but usually after add a sunbathing when one goes to a more substantial restaurant to get something to eat and relax when the day is over. Coney Island Hot Dogs, or at least a reasonable facsimile is also Beach food, as are corn dogs. However there is one food you cannot really find anywhere but the beach. Salt water taffy! There are a number of places along the Ocean City Boardwalk in which to buy salt water taffy. Many of these places you can actually watch them making it. It starts out of gooey and thick and hardens up inside the rapper. Once you pop it in your mouth though it begins to become soft and gooey once again melting and chewy. Various different flavors some pieces with stripes some have none.
You needed to mention that Texas beaches has its own style of beach food. BBQ / carné asada (latin bbq) different meat choices
I don’t know why, but I didn’t even think there were donkeys in Britain. They just seem very unBritish. Guess you learn something new every day. Thanks to Lawrence I learn even more than that!
In Michigan I've seen those Windbreaks used to keep fallen leaves and snow from drifting across roads or drives.
Puffins are Britains consolation prize for not having penguins. Brilliant.
At least we have the word "beach" in common...unless you're from New Jersey, in which case it's "the shore".
No, that's all that trash that Sopranos & Snooki brought about.
@@samanthab1923 I have said "the shore" my entire life way before either shows existed. Everyone I know does. Northern NJ here. It's ok you don't have to be so upset. Lol
JaxxieT I think the difference is most of the parents grew up in NYC. Mine summered out on LI. When we moved to Monmouth Co. the beach was only 10 miles away. In that little bubble, we were uniform in our beach reference.
You didn’t mention arcades which there are plenty in Meggies (what locals call Cleethorpes). Cleethorpes has the biggest fish and chip shop/restaurant on the pier.
In the US cotton candy is cotton candy, but making it, the sugar is still called floss. Sorry made cotton candy for 2 years thought id chime in. Great videos.
You're hysterical. I'd love to hear you review movies...like James Bond vs mission impossible.
After I watched Jaws, I wouldn't go in the ocean beyond my ankles
Another life-long New Jersey boy; (which we just call Jersey most of the time;) I've never heard of rippers either. And at at least in the Philly/South Jersey area we make a distinction between going to a shore town e.g. going to Atlantic City to gamble you would be going "down the shore." Once you are down the shore you can "go to the beach" to swim.
I'm from New Jersey and I never heard of that hotdog concoction. The Jersey Shore will fight and die for the Pork Roll *Taylor Ham* sandwich
I had no idea you are from Cleggy! I'm from Scunthorpe!!! Give me them fish and chips any day. Cleethorpes is a lovely day out.
"Boo-ee"... a two syllable word spelled "buoy".
I grew up in Southern California in the 70s and 80s. When "Jaws" came out, I couldn't enter the water for a couple YEARS. I was in my later years of elementary school, but couldn't grasp what "odds" were. I just knew if I entered the water, a great white would gulp me down - kinda sucked because I was a surfer for my whole life and that film put a halt to it for some great times.
As a US sailor, say Buoy as two syllables to avoid confusion. Even amongst ourselves.
Many people would stop going to the beach if they knew what a lot of that beautiful white sand really is......poop. You read it right, there is a fish, I believe it is mostly around coral reefs, but it eats the hard shell of the coral and that lovely sand comes out the other end. And after living about 30 odd years in Florida, I finally had my fill of beaches, so moved to the mountains.
Donkey surfing? This feels like it should be something like "hugging the donkey" from The Orville.
On the Pacific coast there is the tradition of horses at the beach, but our burritos all have beans.
Coney Island, Nathan’s hot dogs, cotton candy, pizza, fried clams. Ocean City N.J. and MD. Salt water taffy, molasses paddles, pizza 🍕, crab cakes, crab fries, frozen custard.
I'm surprised he didn't touch on the fact that Atlantic Puffins also do reside and breed in the northeastern U.S. One of the most well known spots for these alcids is Machias Seal Island, Maine. In the northeast we have other alcids as well such as Murres, Razorbills and Guillemots. Alcids are also found on the Pacific coast as well. And yes, you are correct as Britain does not have Bluebirds. In North America you will find three species... The Eastern Bluebird, Mountain Bluebird, and Western Bluebird.
good pronunciation of the Hawai'ian names and words
You didn't mention all the pebble (shingle?) beaches in Britian which really surprised me the first time I went to Brighton! I thought the definition of beach was sand underfoot!
There is a 100 mile stretch along the southern British coast without any sandy beaches,.
I was shocked to find that the UK doesn't have humming birds! I love my hummers!
I'm Canadian and the word "boo-ee" drives me up the wall!
You forgot salt water taffy! Or is that just around Morro Bay, Atascadero, and Pismo Beach? And Bakersfield - which is kinda Morro Bay East.
Missed your catchphrase "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, OOOHHH LAWRENCE "
Love the thumbnail pic for this video! You’ve been working out! Lol
With the lockdowns the beaches were pretty similar at the time.
My Papaw told me a story of a Donkey basketball event. Players rode donkeys while playing basketball. You can imagine how frustrating for the players and entertaining for the spectators it would be. It was confirmed this was fact 20 years later when I met a man who had attended the event.
rolling on the floor howling with laughter~
Wow. I haven't been to the beach for a LONG time! I've never heard of rippers and I live in NJ. To me beach food is salt water taffy, funnel cake, fudge and corn dogs. All junk food. LOL! Oh. And cotton candy.
"Boiled sweets" always sounded soggy and nasty. Turns out it's the sugar syrup that is boiled - dangerously hot - until it stays hard when it cools down.
The ukulele was probably originally the Portuguese "machette".
He missed the geoduck clam up in the Pacific Northwest. It looks extremely phallic.
I’ve been going “down the shore” in South Jersey for 50+ years, and I’ve never heard of a “ripper.”
Floridian here...just waiting for the alligator references...ah, there it is! Thanks!
Fried alligator tail is fantastic! South Louisiana has the best food, hands down.
I was surprised you didn't memtion Punch and Judy shows!
For midatlantic food you missed Blue Crabs & Mussels (preferably with garlic)
Fish and chips at the seaside...yes, but a knife? Never! Eat it straight from the paper with your fingers (or maybe a little wooden fork) sitting in a shelter...usually in the rain LOL
100 years is a long time 😂🙄
Yes100 years is a long time as a percentage of the entire time of the European migrations. Start with 1620? Or, 1776 when a new nation was declared to exist? Or, when the real for real Constitution took effect?
Fish and chips with malt vinegar at the beaches in Vancouver, Canada up until the late 1980s. We are much more multicultural now.
Love this!
Fried smelt in Michigan. Hmmm...I wonder where? I'm from S.E. Michigan and I don't recall that one.
We had a great white in Cornwall I always thought they like warm waters Cornwall is cold water
People out of the South always seem to think Alligator is some sort of endangered delicacy. No, they're freaking everywhere, it's fine.
“Secret second ocean out back” 😂🤣
How about more sea-related food- cockles, muscles, samphire, crab? What are the local traditional foods like these in places around America, rather than tourist food?
My beach body didn't survive age 6 when I puffed up like an Oscar Myer winner and never stopped puffing up.
