Americans' views of British food may be a lot harsher than those of the citizens of England, but general perceptions of food from different countries can be hugely biased; for instance, there's far more online hate and vitriol directed at France than any other country, while the perceived quality of Mexican food is generally held in high regard. Plus, many English viewers may hold Engish-based prejudices related to those fried pasty components of traditional British cuisine which Americans may see as unappetizing (think battered fried chicken).

The tea part is fascinating. If you go to a traditional kopitiam (coffee shop) in former British colonies of Malaysia and Singapore (and certain parts of Indonesia) and order a cup of teh (tea), you will automatically get tea with milk (and sweetened). That’s just the default definition of teh (tea). If you want tea without milk, you have to specifically order it as teh o (tea without milk).

[@AnasHart]

Yeah, in the UK, tea is always with milk, unless you have flavoured or different types tea like mint or chamomile etc

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

If you ever come across it don't drink it straight but don't make it weak. Do the opposite of its serving in this video. Pour in a very decent amount of syrup, the water is pretty much to "fill" the glass. I did the same thing with Fluff.

It's such a pity that blackcurrant was banned in the United States for many years, due to it possibly carrying a disease that could harm certain trees here.

I've had the pleasure of enjoying blackcurrant kvass from Ukraine and blackcurrent-flavored Jelly Babies and loved them both. It's like grape, sort of, but better!

It's such an Asian thing having both Brittany and Steven's first reaction to British tea be like, "So this is like milk tea right?" LOL. (Although honestly as an Asian person who's never had English tea...I thought the same 😅) This was really fun! Loved how we got a bit of education about tea and British snacks, and the pop-ups describing Jollie's reactions felt accurate haha

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

Asia is not a monolith, don’t think that it’s the same everywhere in the continent. If you go to a traditional kopitiam (coffee shop) in Malaysia or Singapore and order a cup of teh (tea), you will automatically get tea with milk. If you want tea without milk, you have to specifically order it as teh o (tea without milk).

this video just taught me that monster munch is real because i just read a british story the other day and idk why but i assumed they had made up a chip brand for it lol

No, we really are that unhinged.

Ollie’s completely unappreciated saturated fat comment at 5:52 is jokes

I’ve never thought the food I’m growing up with Dairy milk chocolate, Ribena drinks, favourite Jaffa orange chocolate, and my comfort food during rainy days-marmite with hot water as soup or condiment for my white rice porridge, is so British. I’m Malaysian by the way. P.S. I can’t take the vomit aftertaste either (Hershey) 😓

10:16 I really love these comments/ pop-ups - " Satisfied British Chewing " " Bewildered American Chewing " 😂😂

English girl here. Controversial I know but I hate tea! 😂 Traditional tea anyway. I can occasionally have a cup of Earl Grey 😋

[@geordieghoulette7142]

I mean that's just very upper class 😂 do you put milk in it tho?? I don't with earl grey personally.

[@jodiekelly1355]

@@geordieghoulette7142 Haha I'm definitely not upper class, just from up North and have had too many cups of tea over the years due to it being a given every time you go to someone's house 😂 no I don't but I have tried it with milk before nd it wasn't the worst!

[@PaulW4]

I'm not English, where I'm from the Bell brand of tea is common. I tried Yorkshire a few years ago. Compared to Yorkshire, Bell has a weaker flavour and is sweeter, Yorkshire has both a richer and more bitter taste. I now drink Yorkshire! Half of my pantry is now European foods from watching food tasting channels (also the Try Channel, Adventures and Naps etc.). Where in England are you from?

[@andrewvalentine6977]

As a kid my mum made me have tea for breakfast every morning and I never enjoyed it for the 10 odd years she made me drink it. I can tolerate it but never drink it if I have a choice.

As they poured that Ribena all I could think was “that’s too weak man, needs to be at least 1/3 beena, 2/3 water”

[@overthewebb]

Interesting that he mentioned Twix being his favourite, which is also a British biscuit

[@katereynz]

I love these cross-overs with Josh and Ollie.

[@lixak6307]

They sell Ribena in America now and I freaking love it Also I used to import Jaffa cakes but I found a dupe that I can get at the grocery store and it’s so good, the imported ones were always slightly stale

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Thanks to the Sugary Drink Tax from a few years back, they changed the recipe to add artificial sweeteners, and I just don't think it tastes the same, any more.

[@sakurayui8534]

i usually watch videos with subtitles when they have them on and for a while i was being gaslit into thinking that i knew Steven's name wrong and that it wasn't steven, because the subtitles put him as "adam" XD brain was like hello who?

[@samanthachia1491]

I know Steven grew up in the States, but seeing how his family are from Malaysia, I'm just very surprised that he is not familiar with Cadbury or Ribena.

[@thesearedaydreams6854]

A Cadbury Dairy Milk bar from the UK is close to perfection. Ollie’s description of the Hershey’s after taste is spot on 🤢

[@datsaborgar]

Josh: *Shocked at the Americans for drinking undiluted Ribena* Also Josh: *Dips his fries in Dr Pepper shake like a patriotic bald eagle while eating Whataburger* Proof: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYOVqZ6XfZqoiassi=_Xoe_p5IyoGTY9if Much love to both Jolly and Watcher for helping drive the dark clouds away these past few days

[@quinnable8031]

this is what I heard but don't know how true it is, blackcurrant was hard to export from the UK to the USA back in the day, and thus when making flavored candy based off of the rainbow they were missing purple, so they made up a flavor and called it grape. it was supposed to be a mimic of blackcurrant but you can taste the difference obviously. I always wondered why "grape flavor" never tasted like grape and it was and still is my most hated artificial flavoring.

[@BriIsTheFinestCheese]

i don't blame them for thinking hobnobs are mediocre because they ARE. dark chocolate digestives for life babyyy

BRITTNEY!!!!! SO excited to see her onscreen!!!!!!!!!!

[@aubryellaotero1064]

I’ve only ever tried vegemite but it was sooooo delicious on toast with butter, I have a feeling I would love marmite even more 🤤🤤

[@Faikitty]

Steven doing accents is one of the best things in the world. I think I still prefer his Dracula accent to his British one though. 😂 Can we please please please see more of Steven and Brittney together in the future? They have such great energy together that I don't honestly even care what the subject matter is - I'm down for watching it.

[@sinclari1]

The first time I had Ribena, I thought it was awful, and ungodly salty. I told some European friends, and they were like "Yeah, I usually add extra water" I replied "you add water?!"

Imagine telling 2 Asian people that tea needs milk to be tea
