She is wrong about the Chicken Tikka Masala. That dish was invented by a Pakistani immigrant chef how made Scotland his home. The chef’s name was Ali Ahmed Aslam
You can eat runny yolk eggs in UK and be perfectly safe. Our chickens are healthy and clean and salmonella in almost eradicated (unlike the US where it is endemic).
Peas in a Cornish pasty? Noooo! Swede or turnip, madame. Fun fact: Cornish tin miners emigrated to the US (as well as other countries) in the 19th century when tin began to run out in Cornwall. Apparently, in Michigan and Wisconsin pasties are still a thing because Cornish immigrants brought them to the Upper Peninsula's iron mines.
Cornish miners are the main reason we have Jamaican Patties and I am so thankful to them.. Amen and Hallelujah... I'm having all varieties at my retirement party and I can't wait
The original Cornish pasty was between 9 and 12 inches long and had two halves separated by a pastry wall , in one half was dinner and in the other half dessert.
We can get 'vocal' about how 'you did it wrong', but mostly that is frustration, that you didn't get the best test of some treat or other. Main problems will be getting ingredients and getting reasonable measures, we tend to weigh things rather than measure by 'Cups'. And some other cooking terms, for instance, 'grilling' in the UK is 'broiling' in the US
The tin mines in Cornwall contain arsenic deposits so the idea with a Cornish pasty was to hold it by the crust, eat the pasty then discard the crust (arsenic poisoning tends to lead to an even shorter life than the miners could expect). The other interesting fact is that the pasty was originally savoury at one end (meat and vegetables) and sweet (fruit or jam) at the other - a complete meal in one sitting! Cornish pasties benefit from the status of being a product with 'protected designation of origin' so that, by law, they can ONLY be called 'Cornish' if made in Cornwall.
USA is 40 times bigger than UK [ in sq.mls], and the USA population is approx 5 times larger. However, we have approx the same number of Michelin rated restaurants. British food gets a poor press in the USA, but that is mainly based on old WW11 ration diets.
The problem with a lot of these "British" pubs & restaurants in the US is that they don't use British ingredients. Most American food is over processed & full of nasty shit. This is probably why you don't like things like mash potato & over-easy eggs. Even something as simple as bread is full of sugar & chemicals over there. Believe me, our food is naturally tasty as opposed to artificially enhanced. My parents told me not to play with my food. I don't think the US got the memo.
Cottage or Shepherds pie... put cheese in the potatoes and it's a Cumberland Pie!! Best made (IMHO) with leftover roast meat finely chopped or minced (with the leftover veggies preferably). Food of the gods!!
AS a Brit I would say I do love all the foods she mentioned although i do find chicken masala not quite to my taste. Strangely when it comes to curries i do prefer vegetable or egg although i am meat eater.
Hi, first time I've watched your channel and have enjoyed this video because of the knowledge you have. I'd like to see you do British food reviews BUT only if the ingredients are British rather than an American take on our meal. Example being beans on toast - if you use US style beans on US style bread then it's a TOTALLY different taste. Keep up the good work. Dave
You won't overstep the mark trying to cook British food. We'd appreciate seeing you have a go. Plenty of recipes online. I always find BBC good food a good place online to cook from, very easy to follow those recipes. Just type in BBC good food sausage roll, BBC good food roast dinner, fish and chips e.t.c or even BBC good food British food
We in the UK eat food which has no toxins and other added dangerous chemicals, just like the rest of Europe which has banned everything that the United States does to its food. Also we have less sugar and salt in our food plus tonnes of butter, lard and other fats in our food. I visited the United States some years ago and the food also drink made me I'll and made me nauseous, I couldn't wait to get back to proper food. I have never had any problems when I had holidays in many parts of Europe infact I really enjoyed the food in Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Sweden, the Republic of Ireland, Belgium and other European countries. The United States is a beautiful country but the food, drink, 2nd amendment, the Americans lack of education and there so called English let the country down. 💂♂️🇬🇧🏴🇮🇪
There are many videos on YT where Americans have visited Europe and eaten food with no problems yet they have suffered reactions to similar food in the States! Also several cases where Americans have lost weight due to their diet being more balanced.
A full Scottish breakfast is wonderful, yo can not beet a Lorn sausage which is a square beef sausage and tattie scone which is made with potatoes, so yummy.
You should try to make a chip butty all it is is fried chips in an English or European bread sorry no American bread butter the bread and then tomato sauce or any sauces LIKE BBQ sauce or mayonnaise.
There is nothing better then home cooked food . Just like every country you have good and bad restaurants , problem is you never know till you try and if its bad it will put you off that food . Also the cost can be hella high and food crap . Do some home cooking look on you tube for how to cook may be a sausage roll , you can buy the ready made pastry , cook a meat or chicken pie etc GIVE IT A GO
We like seeing you try to cook stuff properly , start with stuff like beans on toast, try tea the way we drink it, etc. Save your money for the uk don't go to English style places in America, its just not the same!
Your dislike of mashed potatoes is odd to me, but I would guess you don't have it cooked and prepared correctly. Properly seasoned and mashed with milk and butter will make a smoothe and very tasty dish. Try it?!
Having been married to an American I know that most of their food is over processed & out of a packet. Actually boiling potato's then smashing them up with milk & butter is far too much work for them. Europe considers most of their food unfit for human consumption.
Man I'd love to watch your videos but the audio levels are all wrong. The audio for the videos you're reacting to are too high and clipping, giving terrible distortion. It's unwatchable
Not just my old lady ears then... I have had to turn my Tablet's volume right down to make it even slightly bearable!l Her description of a full English breakfast sounds disgusting...and her description of a Yorkshire Pudding too. I certainly wouldn't enjoy a meal with her 'drooling' over her food! :-/
Would love to see you giving British cooking a go!
It’s usually better when home made!

In used to be, if there was a hole you’d find either a Welshman or a Cornishman 😜
Brits dont get upset about people copying their culture, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! You do you.

Chicken Tikka Masala hails from Glasgow, not Birmingham.
Correct
When you come over here, you just ask for scrambled egg it’s your breakfast, it’s no issue at all.
Only thing would be it wouldn’t be a uniform yellow colour as most would make it fresh from the eggs not from a carton.
I make Toad in a Hole, as many Canadians do. Very simple to make at home.
A friend of mine suggested pigs in blankets toad in the hole. So wrap bacon around sausages and cover with batter and cook!! Fabulous
@@anncarr6565 Some of the simplest, easiest dishes are the best. Comfort foods.
Rather than onion gravy, my dad would use a tin of oxtail,soup with toad in the hole
@@johnleonard9090 Sounds good, I'll try that, thanks.
Don’t forget apple pie & fruit crumbles
Hello, if you do try to cook one of our classics, beans on toast, please remember that not only are our beans different, but our bread is too. 🙂
And our butter too.

You might like UK mash potatoes because our butter and milk is much better
Don't forget - when we say 'Asian' in GB we mean Indo-Asian, so Pakistan/India/Bangladesh/Sri-Lanka
East Asian being Chinese/Japanese/Korean

My parents told me not to play with my food. I don't think the US got the memo.
And misnaming stuff, they make shepherds pie with beef, the clue’s in the name as to what meat should be used
She missed apple pie brought to usa from England and Europe lol
Croissants are pastry. A Yorkshire pudding is batter.
Cottage or Shepherds pie... put cheese in the potatoes and it's a Cumberland Pie!! Best made (IMHO) with leftover roast meat finely chopped or minced (with the leftover veggies preferably). Food of the gods!!
if you want to cook British food you need our ingredients
There are similar on basics but alot additives in usa don't reproduce
I'm loving your enthusiasm :)
There is some black pudding in the full English breakfast - a kind of sausage made of blood and fat.
Eggs, flour milk and salt.
Nothing like pastry
Have you ever thought about opening up a PO Box?
AS a Brit I would say I do love all the foods she mentioned although i do find chicken masala not quite to my taste. Strangely when it comes to curries i do prefer vegetable or egg although i am meat eater.

if the UK food you eat in America is made by an Amercian, it won't be the same as over here. It might be good, but it won't be the same
Yeah all of your ideas sound interesting, for sure.
We in the UK eat food which has no toxins and other added dangerous chemicals, just like the rest of Europe which has banned everything that the United States does to its food.

Lamb sausage rolls? No such thing. They're Pork.
Correction - specialist butchers do make lamb sausages (also turkey, chicken and beef) plus various herbs so you can make your own lamb sausage rolls.
There is nothing better then home cooked food . Just like every country you have good and bad restaurants , problem is you never know till you try and if its bad it will put you off that food .

Save your money for the uk don't go to English style places in America, its just not the same!
You need to visit soon

Got to be European butter, US butter will not cut it
I think they use way too much milk and butter, one recipe I’ve found is half cup of milk and quarter cup of butter to 3 large potatoes
Man I'd love to watch your videos but the audio levels are all wrong. The audio for the videos you're reacting to are too high and clipping, giving terrible distortion. It's unwatchable
Not just my old lady ears then... I have had to turn my Tablet's volume right down to make it even slightly bearable!l
Her description of a full English breakfast sounds disgusting...and her description of a Yorkshire Pudding too. I certainly wouldn't enjoy a meal with her 'drooling' over her food! :-/
I will fix it, thank you so much for the feedback!!
Yes please cook some food ❤
Try doing a Sunday roast it’s easy
Hate scot eggs yuck
Yes, but what about scotch eggs?
Depends on where they’re from most supermarket ones are meh, but a handmade scotch egg is a joy.
