American Food Products I Can't Believe Are Real as an Immigrant 2024
Вставка

- Pickle pops, roast chicken in a can, CHEESE IN A CAN and many more products I was horrified seeing at Walmart. This is the cultural shock I expected when I moved to America but I also wasn't quite ready to experience it.

as someone who has had chicken in a can, i've never seen anyone just eat it straight. Generally it's used like any cooked chicken in a recipe. Just you don't have to cook it.
Right?!? I make chicken salad with it.
@@ShielaHansen that's what we used to use it for growing up most often. I normally just use a rotisserie chicken now
Usually chicken in a can is used for a fast lunch meal like chicken salad just google chicken salad you'll understand lol
Canned chicken, frozen broccoli, rice and a can of the cheese sauce baked together is Something I grew up eating and feeding to day care children.
Canned chicken is still nasty af 😭😭
For the longest time I thought you had 3 thinking 💭 dots but I dint understand since they didn’t have any text but then I realize… those are your lights 🤣
Omg I just noticed that as well !! I can’t unsee it now
@Dana_Chami oh my god, I came here to type this😂
Lol! Can't unsee it!😂
😅😂😅😂
XD
"Ranch runs in the tap water" "Ranch is like a national dish" this guy is crackin me up
Get one of those chocolate fountains or the beverage ones and run cheese or ranch dressing in them. Living the good life
Oh no! Canned chicken is an ingredient. I don't know anyone who raw dogs it straight from the can. At the bare minimum, you mix it with mayo, season it, and make a chicken salad sandwich.
I put mayo, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, crushed red pepper (to taste) and fresh celery and onion. I also do that with chicken breast I made (but use the can at least once a year). I prefer chicken breast fresh, but use can at least once a year. Both are yum! I put it on crackers, or toasted bread of any type.
💯
i RAN to the comments to make sure someone clarified this 😭😭
This exactly! . Haha raw dogged that chicken in a can.
I think it makes a great chicken salad. Where is this guy from?
Peanuts are actually Legumes. (Beans) 🥜 Not a nut. Soo peanut butter is just sweetened bean paste. Akin to Japanese Red Azuki Bean Paste. Sweet 🫘 Beans.
I was just coming to say that lol so versatile
Who named them peanuts? The idiots😂
As someone from Denmark... I have never seen sweetened peanutbutter?! 😅Here all peanutbutter is just peanuts and maybe a little salt..
@@MHDbeauty I’m from Haïti and we LOVE peanut butter, we eat it a lot. And not only do we have sweet peanut butter, we also have spicy, and also sweet/spicy. I’m saying this because I recently realized that I’ve never seen spicy peanut butter anywhere else.
@@Anana315that’s really interesting and really makes me want to try some now. In Australia our peanut butter is mostly plain or salty
Poor Raph is not aware of how to prep these items for consumption. Right from the can is yucky 🤮
Yeah I was like sweety no 😂 🤦
Heat the peanuts. And the Cajun seasoning is the best yummy
‘Oh they have social media I can block them on all platforms ‘ 😂😂😂

This made me laugh as well lol clever
From america, and even I go "WTF is that crap?" at most of the foods we have here
God Bless Raphael Gomes 🙏🍰
God Bless President Trump 🙏🇺🇸
Same.

I'm so happy we get our regular videos again! Glad you are better ❤😊

@JimboJones99 really? Trump? Are you stup...oh never-mind that said it all lol!
@@JimboJones99❤️🇺🇸
What happened to him?
Prepare the canned chicken like tuna. Eat the boiled peanuts warm. 😂😂❤❤
I was JUST about to say this
Find a place to find homemade boiled peanuts…much better than canned!
I honestly didn’t know that people don’t know about canned chicken. I make chicken salad with it
im american and i’ve literally never heard of those before like the thought of it makes me gag
@@tiktoks4yall_. where do you live though? I’m almost certain it’s not in the south
Raphael, dude, if you don’t like our food, i don’t care, and if you think some of our food is weird, don’t worry. Sometimes when I go to the store I’ll see new food items and go…wtf?
I don’t know if the comment got deleted but I can’t see it but I’ll still reply.
My point was to let Raphael know that it’s okay to not to like our food and I hope he doesn’t worry too much about offending us Americans. To get mad at a person who doesn’t like the same food as you is pretty silly. But I understand why he’s nervous about it, I just wanted to let him know that not all of us Americans will get upset over something so silly
@@thatcrazyorc5335 Your comment is there for me still
"if this is chicken, i'm an elefant" HILAROUS 😂
Elephant *
The chicken breast in a can: it can be used in chicken salad, chicken enchiladas, chicken spaghetti etc. I wouldn’t want to eat it by itself.
Chicken spaghetti????????????
@@IAmTheOnlyChanelchicken spaghetti-- think a cheesy Rotel sauce with chicken and spaghetti
I wouldn’t want to eat it at all
Season it & it’s yummy
Buffalo chicken dip
The lights at the side of his head look like the dots leading to a thought bubble 😂
I can’t unsee it now lmao
Wow 😂 I remember waiting for him to fill the 💭 with something. When he didn't, I just thought it was a diss to the food lol. I'dve never known it was his lights had I not read this comment 😂💭
Most of those products end up being given to people who can't afford food. So glad you're back!
That’s not entirely true. So many of these food we eat in the South.
@@Tayluhhh2010 Both statements can be true
You're right about that, I live in the South here in Kentucky and everything in this video I've gotten in a box at one point in time
@@Tayluhhh2010yes but no one likes them, mostly elderly or yt women 😂
Then you've gotten an extremely nice pantry. Doritos, Cold foam, name brand canned chicken, pizza cupcakes, name brand little dinners, Cheerios....I say this because I had to go 2x and I got expired frozen meat, generic macaroni (we all know it's not the same) bag cereal, canned meat, juice and peanut butter. Most people donate what they don't want or what's cheap. They forget in doing good people actually have to eat it. I was grateful but glad I never had to do it again...
Rapha, those churro tortillas, they sell it by the weight, not the bag size. The bag has to be big because, in order to keep crispiness and avoid damage to the chips, they fill the bag with a non-toxic gas and seal it. They are not scamming you. There's a purpose.
At least that's the story they tell. They could reduce the bag size a LOT, but people buy big bags of air for a bigger price than a small full bag.
They TELL you they put a gas in there.
Exactly, it’s nitrogen and it’s to keep the chips fresh. Nitrogen is inert so it won’t react with the oil and cause the chips to go rancid line they would if plain air was injected into the bag.
They used to sell chips in a box with 3 , 4 oz bags that cost 39¢.
Long distance runners or marathoneruse pickle juice as an electrlite so they appreciated ona long run !
Your lights next to your head looks like your thinking…like one of those clouds with words on a cartoon. 💭
I love your perspective on American foods!
Great now I can't unsee it 😂
The chicken is actually not meant to be eaten from the can. It is meant to be added into things like chicken salad and used with noodles. You drain the can before using it. Its like tuna in a can.
However i find it funny that rapha is shocked as in the UK you can buy an entire hamburger in a can.
Warm the cheese in a can, pour over tortillas chips and toss some sliced jalapenos on top and you have very fast nachos. Just like at any event.
It’s upside down because you switched the bread around when you reassembled it. 😂
the fact he didnt drain the water off the canned chicken is wild
7:00 lol, in Russia we drink pickle juice in the morning after drinking a lot of alcohol😂it makes you feel very fresh tho, and it releases headache and dizziness. Note it👍
We chase it with liquor here lol
I drink the pickle brine from most of the pickles I buy.
I think it’s a texture problem and on top of it I think our pickles are rather salty while American ones might be a bit more vinegary. When you have a popsicle your brain expects a fruity taste and you get hit with salt, vinegar and dill…
@@marlies7444me too 😁
I love pickle juice. Never goes to waste with me around. I just randomly go to the fridge and drink it. I have a problem with low sodium though bc I don't absorb it right. So I have to eat more than normal to keep my levels up.
Pickle juice can be used after a workout to help rehydrate and reduce muscle cramps. That is why you can buy pickle pops. I wanted those pickle juice pops so bad when I was pregnant too.
I love pickles. The more sour, the better. Those sound good.
With the chicken in a can you can use it to make buffalo chicken dip. Buffalo hot sauce,cream cheese,ranch dressing, shredded cheese and the canned chicken heat it in a pot or in a crockpot
Buffalo Chicken dip is AMAZING 💕
Pickle pops are for the salt and vinegar to stay hydrated and avoid cramps. My hubbys work at a glass plant provides them for the workers. Hubby said they are gross.
The reason chips come in a bag that is so full of air is to keep them cushioned so they don't break apart during transport.
I know you were unwell, and that you worry a lot, I would like you to know I always love your content, take care of yourself love❤
You are doing a great job 👍

"Oh nice they have all social media..I can block them on all platforms"😂😂
The most enjoyable part about watching your videos is listening to your commentary because you don't realize this but you are one very funny man!!!! 😅
I noticed you've been posting more lately. I truely hope your feeling better and getting the health care you need. ❤ love you and your videos!
Full American here we don’t support that cheese ranch stuff either don’t feel bad they could have left that hidden in the valley 😂👍🏽
Fun fact Raph!! to return bad food at WM just look up your purchases (they track the heck outta you) and click on start return, they will give you your money back! You work too hard for your $, dont let them get away with taking it for nothing. ;)
I've never heard of some of these items. I'm going to Walmart and looking for them, lol.
If you in the south find a street vendor they usually have the best tasting boiled peanuts and usually the have Cajun flavor too if you like a bit of spice.
Gas stations too
I am from Germany. When i visited a friend in South Carolina, we went to a Collage Football Game. I had boiled penuts there. It was strange at first but i really liked it though. Nothing you would find in Europe.
the little podunk ran down gas stations have the BEST food! there’s one gas station close to where we board our horses that sells this amazing, mind blowingly good breakfast. genuinely amazing homemade biscuits and gravy, buttery cheesy grits and breakfast sandwiches…. now i’m hungry lol
Love how honest you are in these food review videos
The water added to MRE's doesn't usuaslly go into the food. It activates the heating pouch you stick the food pouch in. Just fyi.
If you eat nachos at a ballpark, movie theater, Taco Bell etc. you will eat can cheese again...😂
It needs to be heated. I LOVE Ricos canned non-premium nacho cheese. I use it to make just cheese nachos on occasion.
people put peanuts in coke (cola)
the chicken is usually mixed with mayo and ate on a sandwich its usually because its cheap.
the ranch cheese sauce looks okay lol im not American.
im pretty sure the everything bagel is just the seasoning.
the chicken rings look good but are probably not great for you
im kinda jealous of the movie theatre popcorn
gummy meat no words
The can of cheese is what they use for most nachos at the movies they just heat it up lol
Not boiled but roasted pnuts go in coke/pop/soda
@@torturedsoul5235Yes!!
everything bagel is just the seasoning, dont be jealous movie theater popcorn is so high in salt its not even funny, ye can nachos taste bad tbh
@@torturedsoul5235 is it good?
In Saudi Arabia we can order movie theaters popcorn from delivery apps 😂
Wow how much does that cost?
We can do that here in America too. It's not new.
We have so many boiled peanut stands in Charleston, SC. So yummy! Great with a cold beer!
I’m in SC too😀 One of my favorite snacks! Not sure about the canned ones, but for sure hot and fresh.
44:41 in Poland it''s popular to mix cottage cheese with various toppings, like raspberry, pineapple, strawberry, blueberry and honey (that's my favorite).
Finally you popped up again on my for you page. The Algorithm hasn’t been showing me your videos for the past year despite the fact that I’ve watched them all for years and years ❤❤
He was away for a while and wasn't uploading. The algorithm will stop showing you his content if he stops uploading regularly.
@@mustachedmalarkey8838 I mean I literally would have to check his channel to watch recently posted videos even though I had all notifications turned on. 🤷🏻♀️
This video is so reminiscent, bringing back a lot of memories. The pickles, the tinned chicken, and our identical reactions to the bacon jam! I was blown away by all of these creativities - but why and why. I hope you treated yourself to a very decent meal the next day! ✨
If you eat tacobell any item that has liquid cheese on it, you are basically eating thqt cheese in a can
Except it comes in a bag
I get the Ricos non-premium nacho cheese. It tastes like football stadium nacho cheese. So good.
I work in a Walmart: most of this stuff is not sold in any stores near me and the crazy stuff like cheez-it ranch are generally like limited edition and only for a short time, typically because the companies know the things are so bizarre that people will buy them just to try it, kind of like you're doing here. Most of this stuff is either not sold in any of the stores anywhere near me at all, or it's a brief appearance kind of thing.
Please do a Trader Joes snacks and frozen food taste. You'd be surprised what they have. Would love to see that.
he has a trader joes video posted 6 months ago!
@shatteredchrystal but it was more fall snacks. They have so many things he'd find interesting, like the frozen foods. Also, he has done lots of walmart ones so I don't think that'll stop him 🙃
Yes, more Trader Joe’s taste testing. There’s so many good things there!
This is the best video! You are such a talent! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!!🤣🤣
The frozen pickle pops in a martini glass of vodka 🔥🔥🔥
Pickle moonshine 🔥
Chicken salad, drained chicken, mayo and chopped celery. Yum
OMG. I'm too busy dying laughing to comment anything beyond this right now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let’s just go with the 1st one….Raphael has not been convicted of several crimes…
@@stussycat77 name the exact crimes. Or political hit job? … too much CNN/MSNBC for you !
I feel like every store bought popcorn tastes stale so grateful they deliver theater food here
A few notes. The chicken rings, there is a non-spicy version, plus the brand is a fast-food restaurant. For the Krispy Kreme donuts, they come to the store frozen so they don't taste as fresh as they should. You have to heat up the canned cheese. Also, the ramen that is everything bagel flavored is interesting, we have a smores one where I am, at this very moment.
Whoever told you to eat canned chicken directly from the can was punking you. LOL
Omgaaahhh I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 🤣🤣🤣 those Hormel complete meals taste like dog food 🤣🤣 I was waiting for you to say that 🤣🤣🤣 I hate cottage cheese looks like baby throw up😂😂 you need to do more videos like this. Thank you for making us laugh.
Puts the frozen lunchables bread back upside down microwaves it “why is it upside down😂” hahaha I can’t
No wonder Italy bans most of American snacks 😂
takes apart the slices of bread to reveal the inside.
puts the bread back together flips it upside down
"WHY IS THIS UPSIDE DOWN?"😅
You need to do a livestream so people can have input and educate you on some of the items. I think the interaction would be good.
Never heard of bacon jam nor the Cheez it ranch even though and I'm from Georgia and lived in Tx 20 years lol
Bacon jam is popular, I’ve never seen it premade and sold at stores tho
Trader Joe's has Bacon Jam.. I didn't like it.
- It's saltier than the ocean- HAHAHAHA I love you Rapha. I'm so happy your health is better. I hope your pain is 0/10 my dude.
Just the thought of the smell of chicken in a can 🤮
It smells exactly like tuna 😂
@@brandiwelch727 haha.. tuna makes me gag as well...
There are several brands of cottage cheese that come with pineapple chunks in it. I also like to put fresh blueberries on my cottage cheese. It makes it both sweet and savory.
Watched it while eating lunch😭😭 I didn’t even finish half of it but absolutely love every single video you upload😩🫶🏻
Boiled peanuts are better when heated like in a microwave. They are very salty. Be careful when eating them warmed up.
As someone from the south, I ain’t ever heard or had boiled peanuts in a can
Have you been living under a rock? They have stands on the side of the road all over the south! 😂 You can get them all kinds of places, some gas stations even have them.
I was born and raised in the south. I would not eat some of those things that you tried 😅 Happy to see a video from you.
Ok so I'm born and raised in the new England States and i haven't heard or seen any of them but the canned chicken and mini Doritos.
I kept expecting a thought bubble to pop up because of your lights 🤦♀️🤣 just the way they line up 🤣🤣
lol no one’s eating those pickle pops lol. I didn’t even know Walmart had those. lol
Boiled peanuts are good in a can but the authentic way is to buy them fresh at the side of the road LMAO. I also feel like they're better warm so when I get them in a can, I microwave them for just five seconds. Glad to see you are back and hope you're feeling better!
People from the South eat boiled peanuts all the time. They’re so good in my opinion!
You mean THEY'RE.
@@what_u_want GIRL IM SORRY I MADE A MISTAKE TF?

Im from Greece and i find this video so interesting! it's fascinating actually! i would like to try all of them! Thank you for sharing this with us Raphael !
I'm lithuanian and same here, would love to try all of it LOL!
I am not American so watching these weird products is actually so funny. You guys have lost it😂😂😂
We have. I admit it! 😅
I am American and watching these weird products is funny to me because I either A) see them in the store I work in and think it's funny how many or how few people I see buy them or B) I wonder what tf is wrong with people and who eats them
Yeah, our FDA says that ingredients and foods that are banned as harmful in many other countries is safe for us lol. So I'm not surprised we have weird foods... They are prob the ones banned in other countries. Smh.
Raph makes me laugh .he's so funny
We are glad you are back !
"Blueberry vomit." The Pie Eating contest from Stand By Me comes to mind. 🤮
Cottage cheese with fruit is a thing in Europe
You should do a video next time you see your sister where you bring her strange but popular American foods and get her reactions 😂😂
No ones eating chicken breast straight from the can.
"It smells like a lumberjack's house."
Cue Monty Python's Lumberjack song.
the canned chicken isn't eaten just like that--it's used for chicken salad (mayo etc) or in a dip like buffalo chicken dip
Girl don't touch my Ricos nacho cheese. Just don't.
Hi Raphael, I am a new sub.
For the canned chicken, you can use these ingredients together in a salad.
Chopped olives, one can of strained and shredded chicken, chopped celery, plain boiled macaroni noodles, mayonnaise, shredded carrots, and cherry tomatoes, if you like them.
I am a very picky eater, but I love this salad!
I too immediately asked myself "WHY??" when I discovered the grilled cheese sandwiches in the freezer section at Walmart.
It's not like making a regular grilled cheese sandwich is so difficult that it needs a premade frozen microwavable version. 😂
It’s great for work or people who don’t have an actual kitchen.
It's meant for lunches when people don't have access to a stove. 😂
This has to be one of my favourite Raph videos, love your honest disgusted reactions!😅
I'm so glad to see you back! I hope you are feeling better.
I hit "like" before watching! Love these videos Raphael!! How long they are is amazing too 👏👏
I don't think many people eat canned chicken by itself. It's used for easy cooking, like chicken salad, lazy casseroles, etc. It's used for lazy cookers like me and because it's cheaper
Is it because you're lazy, or is it because its cheaper ?🤣
Ain't no laziness in this world making me eat that, just pop proper chicken in the oven or the airfryer and sit down waiting for it to cook, like ???🤣🤣
That and food is so expensive, so it’s a cheaper alternative way to still have some type of meat in your diet for people who are having hard times.
@@Lookforthelight01 Both, two things can be true at once. But I don't use the canned chicken I was just explaining to him why some people use it. That stuff is nasty.
@@jennaragsdale5593 yeah I don't see how someone would use it, it looks soooo nasty!
@@Lookforthelight01 I've tried it before because my grandmother used to use it. It's bearable, just barely, but definitely not a go to unless you're on a very strict budget and even then I think I would still make room in the budget for fresh chicken.
Also... the White Castle chicken rings... don't eat their sliders. If you do and say they aren't good. You will lose the Northern States. Lol.
As a southerner, I had them once on a road trip, and they are fantastic!
fitting that like the Fyre Festival the Fyre Smores are not it lol
Loved the video! Did anyone else think the comment bubble would show up because of the lights? That's all I could see watching it.
RANCH IS LIFE!!!!!!
Great video as always. You've never had a Boston cream donut??? Go to dunkin donut NOW and have one.... so delicious :)
This video has been up for 7 minutes already, how does it not have a million likes already?
Love your videos ❤😊
So nice to see your videos, one of the only creators I still watch
Personally I have to rinse and drain the chicken and then use it in either chicken salad, chicken pot pie or other dish where it has a lot of seasonings so it is there for protein but has other seasonings and textures added in.
Hats off to Raphael. He really took one for the team by trying all these weird foods 🫡🫡🫡
10:02 "It tastes like the screams of animal cruelty in a jar😟"
