Hi there friends!
I've got another video about BRITISH CULTURE here for you lovely people! I just LOVED making this! Some of these facts I found out recently when doing research for this video - but some I already loved and have known about for a while! Learning about the culture at the same time as learning English is the best way to learn a language! Trust me and it's also more fun too! Really hope you enjoy it - let me know in the comments which fact is your favourite!

[@taalpointnoord8826]

Thank you so much Katharine, for reporting and teaching me on the Welsh road signs . I still remember the incomprehensible and funny Welsh language , haha, when I visited Wales - and the image of the Red Dragon (is their province flag ?) , which brings back good old memories. In Holland we have such a province as well , called Friesland , rather bi-lingual ( bilingual), with the ancient ,small scale , but still current and alive Frysian language , which has overlap with / is similar to the Charles Dicken's style old English .❤

Toad in the Hole is also delicious with mashed potatoes and gravy. Or with chips, mushy peas, and gravy. I was surprised that Tikka Masala is now our national dish. Whatever happened to the good old-fashioned roast dinner, or pie and mash? LOL! Pie and mash is my ultimate comfort food. Yummy! And another funny fact: We call our evening meal tea instead of dinner. So, if someone says, "I'm going home for my tea," they're not saying that they're going home to have a drink of tea. They're saying that they're going home to have their dinner or evening meal.

[@englishwithkatharine]

That’s in the north 😊 will make a video about that soon!

[@jaelexlinsey]

@@englishwithkatharine Keep 'em coming. It's such a fascinating subject for me. And you present it very well. 😊👍🏻👌🏻

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Wow, what English people call their meals is a quagmire! "Look Around You" did a hilarious sketch about it in their Series 2 episode about food. The way I understand it, "dinner" is your biggest meal of the day. So some people have their dinner at lunchtime, and some people have their dinner at suppertime.

[@shi-pongwong7299]

Hi Katharine! I discovered your channel recently and I absolutely love your videos!😍 However, I think there is one small error in this video. I believe Gloucestershire in the cheese rolling section belongs to South West instead of West Midlands. Cheers!

3:50 Tikka Massla is in Persian language, tikka (تکه) means pieces, masala (مصالح) means ingredients (it refers to species).

[@mars1pluto]

I love spices

[@saiqakhan4148]

Yes but Chicken Tikka Masala originated in Punjab , India , and eventually became popularised in its 'English ' form , in England from the 1960s onwards.

[@moradizx]

@@saiqakhan4148 No doubt it is Punjabi food and I like it so much. I just discussed about language origin.

[@satyakibanerjee21888]

Undoubtedly chicken tikka masala is a delicious dish... But you should also try chicken tikia. It's a kind of thick chicken paste alongwith various spices... Believe me it's also fabulous!

Sounds amazing! 😊😊

Good to see that Indian dishes are gaining popularity in the UK. Chicken Tikka Masala has become so much popular that it is now considered as one of the national dishes of UK. We have so much thing in common between India and the UK.

[@zanaizrulzainalabidin4170]

Hello, I am from Malaysia. Speaking English with British accent is something beautiful. Our Malaysian English is based to British English standard for all schools and higher education institutions. But, for everyday spoken English, it is mixing little bit with local languages such as Malay, Chinese, Indian and others. Similar to Britain, tea with milk is everyday popular drinks for Malaysian. We called it "Teh Tarik", a creamy tea with a skillfull preparation.

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Chicken Tikka Masala. Let's have ruby murray! We love tea. Scotland has a famous monster. The Lochness Monster ( Nessie ) Wales has the longest place name in Europe. The UK has one of the largest libraries in the world. Thanks a lot, Katharine for this so amazing lesson. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Interestingly, the dish Americans call "toad-in-the-hole" is a thick slice of toast with a hole cut in the middle, put into a frying pan, and an egg cracked into the hole to cook. It's okay, but I prefer our version, with brown gravy & peas.

[@englishwithkatharine]

Thank you for this comment!! 😊😊

[@antoniog.z.4372]

Thanks very much for the video. My favourite one is the Cheese Rolling. I'm afraid I don't like chicken, I'm afraid I don't like curry. In Spain, as you have just said, there is a yearly tomato fight day. It takes place in a village called Bunyol or Buñol, Valencia. Its name is "La Tomatina". It isn't an old tradition but a fairly new one.
