American Couple Reacts: Trying British Foods, Snacks & Drinks for the FIRST TIME! Part 3!

American Couple Reacts: Tasting British Foods, Snacks & Drinks for the FIRST TIME! Part 3! Firstly we would like to send our most sincerest condolences on the passing of Queen Elizabeth ll. We filmed this video a day prior to her passing and we mean no disrespect in posting it. Many have asked that we share it to help provide a distraction from all the sadness. We hope it offers a smile or two.
We tried a lot of different things in this episode. From Sausage Rolls, Mushy Peas, to Galaxy Bars and Monster Munch. Blackcurrant and Orange Tango drinks and much more! Join us as we taste these for the first time and give our very honest rating to each item. Some will surprise you as they have us! Thanks for watching and our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth.

Hi everyone. As we said in the opening, we mean no disrespect posting this video after the passing of Queen Elizabeth. Many asked that we would post to help offer a distraction in this incredibly sad time. This episode was recorded before her passing. We hope this offers a smile to you. God bless you all, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

When a monarch dies, the saying is "the Queen is dead. Long live the King!" all as one sentence.

During World War 2 when food was very very short there was a fear that the lack of vitamin C could lead to health issues such as scurvy. The UK's only real abundant fruit crop, high in Vitamin C, was blackcurrants. It really caught on and became a firm favourite.

[@lo1079]

[@tanyacampbell29]

Pickled Onion Monster Munch are the best crisps in the world. I love Ribena and I think it’s fairly strong, if it tastes watered down to you I definitely don’t wanna drink anything in America lol I think my teeth would fall out immediately. Tayto’s are Irish crisps, prawn cocktail sauce is supposed to be the flavour, not the actual prawn or shrimp itself, I love Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps but I have a phobia of prawns so have never actually eaten a real prawn cocktail, only the crisps. I only drink Zero sugar fizzy drinks cos I can’t stand too much sugar.

[@oneshiningstar281]

That’s exactly what I thought when she said that about the Ribera 😂

[@russjam121]

Exactly. A majority of American candy and drinks are made with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar and more unhealthy. Also it is even sweeter than sugar so the comments saying it's watered down or not very sweet is easy to understand why.

[@iriscollins7583]

I buy a bottle of Ribena and water it to my taste. Most of the crisps.. etc. Are made with children in mind

[@gdrevjshfdj6110]

Www this guy

[@xxdean87xxdeadbydaylight91]

I tried American Fanta and omg I felt my teeth rot down. It’s like acid in a can.

[@gaelsomerville5163]

Blackcurrants carry four times the amount of vitamin C as oranges, and double the amount of antioxidants as blueberries. They are a tart fruit and we quite like the tartness to counteract sweet so there is a lot of blackcurrant stuff over here. A lot more artificial sweetner used over here as various Governments try to tax sugar or pressure manufacturers to reduce sugar (which to be fair is not exactly good for us). Taste is a funny old thing, really. We always used to see Hershey's on American shows and it was so sad when we finally got to taste it and to me, it tasted like the smell of vomit. But apparently, if you grow up with it like American kids do, you don't taste that at all.

[@craig5066]

I prefer galaxy chocolate more than cadburys these days because I definitely think cadburys recipe has changed especially the adding of palm oil,less chocolate flavour and more sugary taste so the chocolate doesn’t seem to melt on your tongue the same.

[@Problembeing]

Star Bar was my chocolate bar as a kid in the early 80s, then they stopped producing them for many years, then they brought it back and I was so happy. Still my favourite today 😊

[@marycarver1542]

Ladies, how can you possibly judge when you are mixing sweet and savoury! Remember too , American products are absolutely full of artificial flavours, colour, sugar and all things evil, most of which are banned in the rest of the world, I am amazed you found something British with artificial flavours! Would just like to add that most of us dont like that rubbish either. !

[@whitehorses460]

There's loads of artificial crap in British food, read the ingredients lately? PaLm oil for example is hard to avoid

[@1IbramGaunt]

@@whitehorses460 not as much as in American food, not by a long shot

[@TheDastardlyDick]

The difference between the colour of your Orange drinks is that the colouring, Tartrazine, is actually banned in the UK as a carcinogen . A lot of our sodas and candies have moved away from natural sugar as our Government puts an extra tax on sugary stuff to try and combat obesity -especially childhood obesity - and Type 2 Diabetes. I have T2D, so most of what you've just eaten is a big " no - no" for me, unfortunately!

[@John-ed2wj]

and we all know that artificial sweeteners are much worse for the body than natural sugar

[@tonys1636]

Yes, orange food colouring in the UK and EU is Beta Carrotine, carrot juice.

[@Robr1701]

Tartrazine has also been said to cause ADHD like behavioural problems in children.

[@Tidybitz]

And the drinks with artificial sweeteners taste awful. I've never tasted anything that is the equivalent of sugar, they always have the horrible saccharine taste.

[@neilsullivan5777]

Tartrazine is not banned in the UK or the EU which we were part of previously, but it has been reduced from 300mg/kg max dose to 50mg/kg in food applications. However, virtually no-one uses this anymore or any of the other 5 colours from the 'Southampton 6' because of the bad press associated with it allegedly causing hyperactivity. I do remember seeing Tartrazine E102 as a listed ingredient on a brand of mushy peas a few years ago. The Americans know Tartrazine as FD&C Yellow No. 6 dye. The other reason for the differences in colour is that there are no limits on how much colour you can add to foods in the US FDA regulations where dosages are restricted in the UK and EU.

[@catherinetonks5599]

Love this video 😂 I love the onion flavoured things. Prawn cocktail isn’t actually prawn flavour, it’s the flavour of the sauce you have on a prawn cocktail. Star bars have peanuts but they don’t have peanut butter. All flavourings in the UK are natural flavourings and natural colours. No artificial colours or flavours so things might taste weaker to you that actually taste strong to us. Also Britain had a massive cut on sugar and started taxing companies more on sugary things so they started replacing sugar with sweetners. Wagon wheels used to be even bigger when I was a kid, and used to have a tonne of jam. But to reduce sugar they reduced the jam. Everything was better when we were kids LOL

It's probably a bit of both. For example, the baked beans that Heinz originally sold in the UK were the same as what they sold in the USA, but over time they changed the recipe to more appeal to British tastes. Which is why American and British style baked beans are so different today.

@@Tom-ed-w In regards to baked beans, even a home made recipe would be radically different between the UK and US styles. But yes, there are a lot of chemicals that are either illegal or voluntarily not used in the Uk that are used in food in the US. One example was highlighted in the video: Fanta is so much more orange in the US because it contains two colours - sunset yellow (E110/Yellow 6) and allura red (E129/Red 40) - that are thought to cause hyperactivity in children.

Blackcurrant production in the United States is relatively limited. The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) was introduced by English settlers at the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and was cultivated on some scale, particularly in New York. The plant acts as a host for the white pine blister rust that threatened the timber industry. In 1911, the federal government banned the cultivation, sale, and transport of blackcurrants to protect the white pine. Government programs systematically destroyed blackcurrant plants by chemical spraying. The federal ban was lifted in 1966, though many states maintained their own bans. Research showed that blackcurrants could be safely grown some distance from white pines and this, together with the development of rust-immune varieties and new fungicides, led to most states lifting their bans by 2003. Blackcurrants are now grown commercially in the Northeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest. Because of the long period of restrictions, blackcurrants are not popular in the United States, and one researcher has estimated that only 0.1% of Americans have eaten one.

Artifical sweetners is not good for you as they are chemicals but neither is too much sugar, over time it can take a toll on the body's natural insulin, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, also obesity and heart disease, so neither options are that healthy tbh, artificial colors and flavors are chemicals also and are not good. if only these type of drinks had just natural sugar and flavor from fruits without more being added, might not be as sweet but would be better for you imo.

My favourite bit about this video was both of your faces eating the monster munch. 😂 Thank you for that giggle. Our general flavours are quite mild compared to yours, I found out when I visited the US. In the north of England, they eat meat and potato pie (very nice on its own, but then they put beetroot and mushy peas with it) each region has its own speciality which is weird to outsider. Jeez us Scot’s have the worst - HAGGIS 🤢 the only time I’ve ever been able to eat a tiny wee bit, is when it was coated in a whiskey and butter sauce. What about gingerbread? Do you guys have gingerbread (cake)? Again the north of England, Lake District (Grasmere to be precise) is best known for this. Hobnobs? With or without chocolate. It’s an oat biscuit, best with a cup of tea or coffee. Hot Heinz baked beans on toast, with brown sauce 😋 it’s a perfect winter evening quick fix dinner if you can’t be bothered cooking. Must be Heinz baked beans though, they are very different to your baked beans. I’m sure loads of suggestions including what I have suggested will have already come to you. Our regional foods are either steeped in history and may be modern dishes in primitive form or created they may have been created out of necessity, ie rationing after wwII. On top of that all our individual palettes are different. Everybody is different. You can’t help liking what you like and not liking what you don’t. ❤ yet another great video, thanks guys. 😘

Hi girls.... The sausage rolls are tastier when they are warmed in the oven and you can also eat the mushy peas with it. Actually laughed out loud with your reaction to the pot noodle.... I honestly don't think anyone really likes them even though they are eaten here lol. Monster munch pickled onion are a British Institution they are my absolute favourite I would beg steal and borrow for a bag lol

[@jamesknight3070]

In my experience, Monster Munch are best when one has spent the morning on the yard with the horses throwing hay and straw around with all of the associated dust, as one's mouse and nose become coated with the dust requiring a STRONG flavour to cut through it!.

The reason why British drinks don't taste like yours is that we have a sugar tax. A few years back our government decided that to stop people eating to much sugar they'd put a tax on it. So now companies that make chocolate,sweets,fizzy drinks etc use artificial sweetners. And like you I don't like them. To me they make things taste way sweeter. I love HP sauce or any as we call it brown sauce. Try HP sauce with bacon it's really good. I also love Quavers and Hula Hoops too. I love mushy peas too. If you can't get fish and chips just dunk French fries in it thats good

[@emmajones5470]

Loved both you're t shirt

[@leahthomas6759]

I just shouted not mushy peas 🤢

[@tommcewan7936]

HP sauce (which, IIRC, stands for "Houses of Parliament") is a taste of the Empire; ingredients like tamarind are straight from the British Raj. Blackcurrant isn't a known flavour in the USA because it used to be illegal to grow them there (it might still be, not sure), the plant interacts badly with another important North American crop, or something like that.

Hello Natasha and Debbie, you are both kind and respectful. Thank you for a good video and you did make me smile. (Frances, UK)

[@1234_Flux]

Prawn Cocktail is misleading, they should really call it prawn cocktail sauce instead.

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Completely agree!

[@rhondafoy8009]

Yes, tomato sauce and mayo, no prawns/ shrimp 🍤

[@Mucklegipe]

Good morning ladies.

I work in the British food manufacturing industry. Top tips on sweeteners: avoid aspartame and don't give it to kids, you're better off giving them the sugar version. Sucralose is a natural sweetener made from fructose, go with that instead.

[@kenslater7354]

Mushy peas are marrowfat peas rather than garden peas. They are soaked in water with a soda tablet in it for 24 hours until soft, then simmered and stirred until mushy

Every time I start watching videos about Her majesty I start tearing up. they are all beautiful. This is a welcome distraction from the sad news for the Royals, UK and the whole of the Common Wealth. No offence can be taken.

[@Greenwood4727]

If you ever come to the UK there are So so many things you need to experience. i for one would welcome you here

[@randomtryst5487]

Yep, Pot Noodles are ghastly. :D I'm from the UK myself and your opinions on the various items were very close to my own.

[@kevinstewart1805]

Star bars are not peanut butter. They’re caramel and peanuts but no peanut butter

[@vaudevillian7]

Mushy peas are so good with fish and chips, I usually go for ‘curry sauce’ though from the chip shop. Blackcurrant is *the* ‘purple’ flavour here, grape is pretty rare. You should give Vimto a try, it’s kind of it’s own thing really. Something else we seem to get over here more in candy is honeycomb Prawn cocktail varies by brand, some are a bit more ketchup-y. I think our crisps usually have a lot more flavour in general than the ones I’ve had in the US. I’m not a great fan of Wagon Wheels either, I don’t hate them but wouldn’t go out of my way to have them. Thanks for the smile as always!

[@richardhall6034]

Nothing better than a cheeky vimto

[@DYLNOFFICIAL]

There’s two forms of Tayto - from the south and the North. Both are the same company but both use different recipes. The one in particular you tried is from Tayto Castle in Tandragee, Northern Ireland. So on a technicality these are British crisps from Northern Ireland 😊

Watching this and have a star bar ready to eat 😂love your content! Love from Cymru (Wales)

Thank you for posting, whilst we mourn our late Queen, we need to strive on. It’s what she would have done and what we must now endure.

[@tonys1636]

I cannot think what King Charles must be enduring, grieving for his Mother whilst continuing the duties of Head of State and meeting his Government for the first time as King. He did an impromptu walk about this evening, stopping the car in the Mall and getting out to meet his subjects, out of the view of TV cameras unfortunately, only the stopped car could be seen clearly.
