American Reacts to the BEST British Foods & Dishes

Yorkshire is always pronounced ' Yorksher ' When judging anything from the UK always remember a) we are a very small island and thus eat anything and everything the island produces, and b) it is a very old island and has had countless famines in history and thus many of these recipes are born of traditions that come from very hard times indeed.

I have just this to say: chitterlings. Any person from a country that eats chitterlings is in no position to object to haggis or black pudding. On the fish point, remember that nowhere in the UK is more than 70 miles from the sea. Sea fish like cod, haddock, plaice, herring, mackerel and sardines have always been much eaten here, and historically fish could be cheaper than meat. We eat pork and lamb as much as beef and chicken.

[@alanaw27]

When I spent time on a Wisconsin farm,in the 1970s, I was confused by the term Blood Sausage. In Scotland and Britain we call it Back Pudding. They are both the same thing and were a means of using every bit of any animals killed for food. We tend to forget as we only eat prime cuts , that for centuries farmers had to find a way of feeding their families and workers over the winter. That’s where all these foods came into their own. We are very cosseted now but then it was life or death . I actually met a man who was part of the logging teams clearing the virgin forests in Wisconsin. It really isn’t so long ago. ps. I really enjoy Black Pudding. You should try it.

Shepherds Pie is made from Minced lamb when Shepherds are out of season. Cottage pie is made from Minced Beef.. The meats are cooked with chopped vegetables. Toffee flavour like caramel. It's not unexpected that us Brits like Curry. We were trading in spices from the middle ages and became accustomed to it. Also India was part of our Empire and curry became a favourite dish in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The first Indian restaurant opened in London in 1810 and queen Victoria loved curry and had an Indian chef as part of her retinue. In my small local town (pop. 10,000) we have 4 Indian retaurants and at least two takeaway shops as well as several Cinese restaurants and takeaway shops plus at least one Thai Restaurant - We love curries. It seems that we are much more adventurous than Americans with our food.

In the US, lamb is not common (and really just cuts like chops or lamb). Many people never eat lamb. When people migrate, they make the dishes they're familiar with with the ingredients available, and I don't think they were as picky about the distinction then. Cottage pie is a term that isn't typically used in the US and Canada

Hi Tyler, It never fails to amuse me that so many Americans, whose cuisine includes Chitlins and Chicken Gizzards, find the idea of some of our British dishes such as Black Pudding, Haggis, and Steak & Kidney Pie (or pudding) so weird! 😂 Anyway, I just wanted to say that the kidney in Steak & Kidney pie adds a unique and delicious flavour to an already amazing meal! Also, I wanted to point out that the sheep's stomach is merely the container to cook the contents of the haggis in, and often you can buy haggis in a plastic skin rather than the traditional stomach. Regardless, haggis as absolutely delicious, and as an Englishman, is a particular favourite of mine. I strongly recommend you and your fellow countrymen to try all of the dishes on this list. You may be surprised, but I don't think you'll be disappointed! Cheers!

Tyler, I am so glad that I grew up next door to Chicago. None of these foods are foreign to me. I had the luxury of being able to sample and enjoy the foods of virtually all nations in my own city. Given that there are literally millions of fellow citizens who descend from the U.K. these foods are certainly no foreign in this country. And I am of Greek descent, and we eat lamb regularly, and even the internal organs on occasion. Lots of people eat everything from animal heads to organ mean and you can find them for sale in your local grocery store depending on the area that you live in and what the patrons want. We do have meat pies in the U.S. Tyler. We have various types of Pot Pies which have different kinds of meat. You can also by Shepherd's Pie and Yorkshire Pudding, thanks to Marie Callendar's frozen meals. I don't know where you are in Indiana, or if you still live here like Ryan, but there are many restaurants in Indianapolis where you can find delicious curries. I am so sorry that you haven't been able to explore the many wonderful cuisines available in the U.S. I hope that you do, soon. Perhaps you can do restaurant video's of you trying different foods? That would be fun. Peace

The thing to remember with curry is that Britain "ruled" India for like 200 years. We have a MASSIVE South Asian influence in our culture. The British empire, good or bad, means that being British isn't just a culture of the British isles, there are influences from Asia, the middle east, the Carribbean, Australia, Africa. Although there's a portion of our own country that still refuses to acknowledge this. It's one of the things, I believe, that separates Americans and Brits the most. Brits have a very global culture and outlook because of this past. Americans escaped to America, and are focussed on their own nation. So thank you for learning about us :)

There's a lot of savoury pies in the UK: Steak and kidney, steak and ale, steak and mushroom, chicken and mushroom, stargazey pie, pork pie, etc. You've got various stews like beef and dumpling, Lancashire hotpot, casseroles, etc. Sunday roast is usually reserved for Sundays as the name suggests, for beef you'd usually use topside, silverside or brisket roasting joints unless you're feeling a bit fancy where it could be a sirloin, a rib eye or whole rump (not steak cuts, the whole joint). Roast lamb which would usually be leg o' lamb or lamb shoulder. Chicken is usually the whole chicken, and very rarely pork would be roasted where the leg or shoulder would be used. You'd have a nice big Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, parsnips, mashed potato and a nice thick gravy made from the stock of whatever meat you're cooking. The next morning you could add bubble 'n' squeak to your fry up which is the fried left over veg' if there is any - called so because of the sounds it makes from the cabbage etc being fried, and then if there's any meat left over they could be turned into sandwiches for lunch. Most of it is down-to-earth rustic hearty food, cooked at home regularly and takes a long time to cook at that, which is why you won't typically see it on restaurant menus where the fancy French, Italian or Spanish foods are preferred. Besides, the only person who can cook it better than mum is nan!

I had intended to eat half of it with one meal and save the rest for the next day, but ended up eating the lot. It's also really good with different type of potatoes. You can have it with mash, but it is just as good with chips (fries to you), or roast potatoes. I definitely recommend trying it.

Haggis isn't eaten a lot by "Brits". Brits being the term to refer to people of the UK. Haggis is eaten the vast majority of the time by the Scots as it is part of their distinct, individual culture. It is not often eaten by English people because it is not part of our culture. What you have to remember is that though individual nations came together to form the union of the United Kingdom, we have retained our own very different and seperate cultures and traditions for over hundreds of years since before the union ever existed. An example of this is that in Scotland they celebrate Saint Andrew's day, in Wales they celebrate Saint David's day, in Northern Ireland many people celebrate Saint Patrick's Day and here in England we celebrate Saint George's Day.

The high street these days is made up of 50% fried chicken/pizza takeaways, 25% betting shops and 20% charity shops :(. But if you get a good chippie - treasure it - its also likely to be much less greasy than any of the others - its flash fried in very hot oil and then drained on a heated shelf so it doesn't soak into the fish or pudding so the fat content is actually much lower than you might think - this gives a nice crispy batter rather than the soggy stuff you get in the likes of most chicken places - unfortunately kids and lager drinkers are the main takeaway target market - so cheap, fatty and fast beat quality these days from a business viewpoint -

Curry, a spicy Asian-derived dish, is a popular meal in the United Kingdom. Curry recipes have been printed in Britain since 1747, when Hannah Glasse gave a recipe for a chicken curry. In the 19th century, many more recipes appeared in the popular cookery books of the time

Tyler: You must realise that these foods like haggis, black pudding were made from the parts of the animal that you were not usually able to sell. Rather than throw it away or give to the dogs it was to good to waste, and expensive, so you found a way of turning them into food. It’s surprising what you ear when your very hungry! The UK sausages are made of beef or pork. Nothing like the US sausages. Ours, although made out of the meats that are left over from the meat trade’s main meat trade it is ground up, spiced. I lived in the US for 6 months and the only sausages I could find had to be boiled in water. Ours are fried, grilled or baked. You can’t make fish & chips at home or in a pub, café or restaurant, they don't have the same taste. You have to get them from a high street chippy. Eaten on the run with malt salt, vinegar and/or a chunk of lemon for a juicy replacement to vinegar.

Haggis, neeps & tatties is a particularly Scottish dish. The names involved stem from the Scottish accents and their particular local slang terms. There is no reason to be put off by Haggis in particular. It is basically a washed out sheep's stomach filled with the various meats and organs of the sheep - pretty much a sheep sausage. When you look at traditional sausages they are washed out intestinal tract stuffed with blended meats from areas of the pig (yes, sausages in the UK are based on pig meat while sausages in the United States are often based off cow meat or even chicken in the case of hot dogs) that would not usually sell so well. There is good reasoning for the saying 'the only part of a pig you can not sell is the squeal'. Steak and kidney is a traditional variety (and yes, kidney from a cow), I don't like it as I find the kidney repulsive. Steak and ale or steak and mushroom are far better varieties in my opinion. If you are not such a fan of steak there are plenty of options based on chicken and some vegetarian options to boot. Personally, I would pass on some of the more whacky pie fillings like 'chicken tikka' as pastry and curry are not a great mix IMO. Honestly, for a nation as addicted to sugary items as the United States is, it is shocking to me that many Americans don't know what things like toffee or custard taste like and are sometimes surprised that people use mint in chocolate or toffees. Also I don't fathom how it is surprising that people in the UK like Indian food and foods based on Indian food. After all, the British ruled over India for centuries and all those soldiers who got a taste of the local cuisine were always going to import the food from there. Most of the Indian food you see in the UK is not authentic to how it is over there as it has been adapted to British tastes over the years. Originally a lot of curry dishes were quite dry and kebab like. When they were brought to the UK people requested that a sauce was added. Some restaurants will also tone down the spices and add sweeteners, best stay away from those.

Tyler, haggis is honestly delicious. Don’t get the issue with organ meat over there but it’s interesting. It’s minced heart, lungs and liver (all highly Nutritious). Mixed with oatmeal, onions, spices and cooked in part of the intestine (so no different from a sausage there). Very healthy and clean compared to hotdogs or the reconstituted meat in chicken nuggets etc.

[@carolynekershaw1652]

A 'posh' alternative to haggis, neeps and tatties that I do is needs and tatties but with pan fried lamb mince; lamb mince with a similar quantity of oatmeal and a hint of chilli. Some oil or melted butter obviously. The mince and oats will be a meaty crunchy contrast to the needs and tatties.

I grew up in Scotland and didn't taste haggis until I went to my first ever Burns Supper when I was about 17. I was dreading it, because I knew what it was made of - and I knew there would be no escape; haggis is the only option at Burns suppers. My family never ate haggis at home, so I wasn't used to it. I still remember putting my fork into the mess and thinking "here goes!" I was stunned when I put it into my mouth. It was surprisingly delicious - and what a relief that was! I could actually enjoy it! I still don't really understand why it tastes so nice, given what it is. But it's actually superb. I think it might be the mixture of mild spices that goes into it. It makes it taste much nicer than you might expect. Also - one thing - "neeps" are what is usually called "swede" elsewhere, rather than turnips. This is a common misunderstanding between Scotland and England, funnily enough. "Neeps" are swede, and the vegetable known as "turnips" in England are generally called "swede" in Scotland. Strange how that happens.

Toad in the hole is a Yorkshire staple, Haggis is not so often eaten, but for many it is essential for Burns night, Kate and Sidney (Steak and kidney)pie is delicious and the kiney makes for a rich gravy in the pie, Trifle is a party food for most people, it is jelly fruit, cake (often soaked in sherry) Custard and Whipped cream. Shepherds pie is made with Mutton and Cottage pie is made with minced beef topped with potato, some people put a little cheese on top, definately a hearty winter meal. For Sticky toffee pudding think caramel sauce, Curries are essential in Britain with a few curries actually being British, we do love Curries. A Full English is Eggs, Sausages, Bacon, Black Pudding, fried tomatoes, fried bread (or the healthy option is toast) mushrooms are optional so are the beans. The British are famous for our Sunday roasts, either Beef, a leg of lamb, or a pork joint, with roast potatos, parsnips and steamed or boiled vegetables, always served on a Sunday. Fish and Chips is a seaside special, I live in a town famous for its Fish and Chips, and it should be fried in best beef dripping, not oil (oil is a crime where I live)

Haggis is pretty common in Scotland, and almost de rigeur on Burns Night (25th January, the birth-date of Robert Burns, our national bard - some of whose poems and songs will be used as part of the traditional evening event, where you can also expect to see tartan kilts and bagpipes - and of course, drink whisky!). It's also common at New Year and on the day of our Patron Saint, St Andrew (November 30th). In recent years a vegetarian version has also become quite widely available. As well as being a main item dish (invariably served with neeps and tatties, it is often served battered and deep fried in chip shops - sometimes there are variation such as sweet chilli haggis available, too; and it is also quite often served in small haggis balls as a starter. Another use is fried and sliced as part of a Full Scottish Breakfast (never ask for a Full English while you're in Scotland, will you?) and it can also be used as a stuffing for other meats such as chicken and form the rather moreish dish of Chicken Balmoral, or combined witrh steak and served as an individual-sized pie (popular as a hot take-away at the likes of football matches).

Haggis is essentially a Scottish dish using the kind of ingredients which were easily found in Scotland, which has a harsh climate compared with the southern parts of the UK. It is not always readily available in England and tends to appear only around the time of Burns night; there are so many people around the UK who are of Scottish ancestry, of which they are proud. You seemed to be puzzled about the kidney in steak and kidney pie, known to some (not politically correct) persons or maybe disloyal detractors of the Great British Cuisine, as snake and pygmy pie. The kidney generally used is known as ox kidney, i.e., kidney from beef cattle or lamb's kidney, which I prefer. Preparation of the kidney is important, as it filters urine and can have a markedly uriniferous taste. This involves removing the outer membrane, cutting in half laterally in order to remove the branches of the ureter as far as possible using sharp scissors. The kidney is chopped. The recipes don't usually mention this, but I was taught by my mother to blanch the chopped kidney by placing it in a colander and boiling water, with a view to finishing any urine tang. The beef used is usually chuck steak or sometimes shin of beef. The meat is cooked first with or without onion or garlic, but very a good dash of Worcestershire sauce is added, with plenty of liquid thickened with flour, so there is plenty of gravy to serve in addition to that in the pie. The beef and kidney may or may not be browned off first in a frying pan. The liquid can be water and/or beef stock. Nowadays the pastry crust is mostly shop bought puff pastry, although formerly it was usually home made short crust pastry. Americans, particularly in the south western states, I believe, enjoy a number of Mexican based dishes, e.g., enchiladas, refried beans, etc., because of proximity to the border. Similarly, in the UK, we borrow some French staples such as boef bourginon, coq au vin and quiche Lorraine. The important difference between the US and UK is that we have far fewer additives and preservatives and the use of antibiotics in cattle is limited to justifiable use for disease but otherwise banned. Our chicken are not washed in chlorine nor are our eggs washed to the extent that they lose their protective coating. These differences, etc. are touched upon in blogs by Dara Otter under the title Magenta Otter, an American who lives in England during the summer and in Texas, with her husband, who has dual nationality, having been born in England but raised in America by British parents. She, too, is keen on food, and has lots of interesting things to say about it having worked in the corporate food industry. She has also probably visited more places in the British Isles than most natives, so what she has to say about them and us is shrewd and well informed.

Steak and Kidney pie, (often fondly known as Kate and Sidney pie), is literally stewing steak and bits of kidney's, (actual animal kidney's). And usually with a nice thick gravy as well. The supermarket one's are a bit crap, scant of meat. Home made is best, or Pieminister pies are nice. Chock full of meat! I make trifle with slices of double chocolate swiss roll as a base. Pour on a load of hot chocolate Blancmange, (pronounced Blomomge), stick in a load of sliced banana and pear quarters, top with Fresh Double Cream, (I think in America it's called Thick cream), with Baily's mixed in. Then garnish with Walnut halves and Cadbury's flake, (crumbled), or Cadbury's Chocolate drops, or stick matchmakers around the edge, (flavour of your choice). The trifle in the video has a sponge base, with custard poured all over it. I make Cottage pie by mixing a couple of packets of Colemans or Swartz sauce mix in with them, (heat the sauce gently in a pan first, so it thickens, the mix it into the mince). Bits of diced carrot, (I use fresh carrot that's been slightly boiled first), peas and onions. Then I mix grated extra mature Cheddar into the potato and spread that over the top. Then back it for about 30 minutes. I think you've featured Chicken Tikka in your videos previously 😀 Chicken Tika is made with Yoghurt, (among other things). It's not too hot, and has a slightly spicy, tangy taste. The chicken should be succulent. Generally served with Onion Bhaji, Vegetable Samosa and Pilau Rice, with a popadom and Nan bread on the side.
