Americans Try Snacks from the UK || Fan Mail || Foreign Food Friday

[@staceyt8206]

Loved the video! Loved the Santa hat! Very festive!! Jami always cracks us up! Still can’t believe they destroyed the crisps! We try to include Galaxy things for Madi since she seems to prefer the Galaxy chocolate (me too, Stuart prefer Cadbury) Hope you enjoy the rest of the goodies and the second box too! X

[@fredbates3165]

The crazy thing is crisps don't have any real meat in them it's just meat flavourings. It's so silly of them to destroy it.

[@fredbates3165]

I hope they enjoyed it all they are such a sweet family.

[@garymcatear822]

Can you send me a box of goodies too? You only need to send it to Motherwell 😃😃😃

The secret to enjoying a Fray Bentos pie is not to compare it with other pies. Think of it as its own glorious thing. Merry Christmas to you all :)

[@BigJonTV]

In excited to try it! Thanks and Merry Christmas to you!

[@chucky2316]

Stacey and Stuart are so generous. I have a friend in California but even sending a smallish box of goodies from the UK is so expensive.

[@lovenationalbus]

The purple ones in Quality street are the best!

[@gntdriver2840]

Iam sure that aero chocolate now has larger bubbles inside than it did in the past - larger bubbles means you get less chocolate - just one example of the penny pinching cost cutting measures that uk chocolate makers seem to have adopted

I love the meat pies, the crisps and the pigs. My favourite Diet Coke is peach flavour. I also love licorice allsorts. In the uk we don’t refrigerate our eggs as it causes the eggs to absorb the flavour of things in the fridge and any contaminants. In the supermarket even our free range eggs are in boxes on the shelf.

[@BigJonTV]

Because I have chickens I don't refrigerate my eggs either! We have to refrigerate store bought eggs here because they have been washed, removing the protective bloom on them and making the pourous shell more susceptible to bad bugs! ❤Jess

[@arcturus8218]

they proberly ate your crisps at customs lol.

[@TSharon400]

Great video. Just watched another A. Erica s try British snacks video and guess what? They had Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps! So, that fell through your security people. Someone might have been having an off day. Glad you enjoyed all our British snacks.

[@higgybee6509]

Great box! Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts are my favourite and always make a good Christmas gift for anyone in my family. I like the orange Aero chocolate bar but the mint Aero is the best. Quality Street chocolates are good but the package you received have all the best pieces. We get most of the selection of Cadbury chocolate line in Canada. and every time I go shopping I buy a Cadbury chocolate bar. Whenever I see a meat pie in a tin it reminds me of my Dad who was a big fan of them. haha I feel the same way about kidney pie - not a fan of the meat but liked the pastry and gravy. We serve mincemeat tarts on Boxing Day, heated in the oven and served with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to cut the richness. Jelly Babies are so good too, love the texture and the flavour. We get a lot of UK products in Canada but I really liked it when we had a Marks and Spencers for all the UK food and clothing items but at least we have one store that is totally devoted to UK imports. I want to send you a box from Canada but because we share a lot of the same product brands as the US and the UK I would like to know what you would like to try that is "Canadian"

[@robertkirk4387]

I hope you know that you can get most of these on Amazon USA direct from the UK

[@spiritualdisciple8153]

Your son is gorgeous! And yes our British snacks are way better

[@tonijones8646]

The pigs in blankets crisps had whey powder in the seasonings. The are vegetarian lol. I think someone fancied them too!!!!!!

That Coke will taste different, we get a different recipe in the UK/EU as the USA version has banned/limited ingredients ironically enough lol

In my experience what gets confiscated depends on the knowledge and interpretation of the agent who checks the goods being imported. At least they don't burn the whole box :)

[@Chalky.]

If customs destroys a packet of crisps you'll probably have the FBI at your door if someone sends you a Kinder Surprise.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

I think I once read that if you try to enter the US and you have kinder surprise eggs in your luggage you can receive a huge fine for your troubles.

[@sequri]

BigJon TV Great. 👍 I really like the mixed bags from Aldi and Lidl etc and they're often sold at the same price point (though the bag/weight is somewhat less than the potato crisps). I just wondered, because I don't think I've ever seen them reviewed on any KZbin channel.

[@blahblahnana1455]

New sub😀galaxy is the best chocolate 😍 and you should try some golden wonder crisps the original crisp in the uk before walkers 🌈

[@blunder1591]

Declined walkers crisps , but allowed fray bentos pie

[@BigJonTV]

Right??

[@blunder1591]

BigJon TV the amount of meat in those crisp even in the flavouring was probably zero , they must have not searched that box as well as you thought and just missed the pie , have a good day

[@garymcatear822]

There would have been a specific ingredient in the crisps that were not in the frey bentos and i'n not talking about meat, it would have been some banned E additive in the crisps that preserve the crisps, were as frey bentos has the tin to preserve the contents without using a preservative.

[@debbietaylor9750]

They destroyed a haggis 😂😂😂

[@CrazyInWeston]

Welcome to America, the land of the free.... BUT WAIT! You're not allowed kinder eggs, tins of chicken flavoured curry and meat flavoured crisps imported... Somehow it doesnt sound so "free" now does it.

[@pj5517]

UK is a BSE history country so understandable and depends on packaging and preparation.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

How does a mince beef and onion pie get through US customs but not chicken flavoured crisps? Is it because we don't wash our chickens with chorine? Yeah, I bet it is that.

[@neilgrundy]

The irony is that about 50% of the gummies that you received in other videos contain pork gelatine yet the items they destroyed contain no animal products whatsoever.

[@BigJonTV]

The crisps had whey powder and chicken fat :( secretly I think someone just kept them! ❤Jess

[@neilgrundy]

@@BigJonTV Ah right fair enough I suppose with the chicken fat. The whey powder is a strange one though, it's only a milk product.

[@dasy2k1]

The vast majority of walkers crisps are suitable for vegitarians, even the meat flavour ones!

[@nicoleonus]

@@dasy2k1 actually you will find that over the last couple years or so Walker's have made major changes to their flavourings. All crisps now contain natural flavourings. There was uproar when it first happened as vegetarians were unable to enjoy their favourite meat flavoured crisps...

[@daviniarobbins9298]

There is a vegan gelatine alternative that comes from beetroot. UK Starbursts are vegan friendly as far as I know.

[@hunniemaxandtheirhumantoo3351]

I am surprised they did not destroy the merry percymess sweets as it has a picture of a pig (swine) on it which makes as much sense destroying chicken flavoured crisps as they have the same amount of chicken in as the sweets has pork, you have my sympathy for putting up with illiterate fda workers. I would open the allsorts first and I demand you send me the berty bassets you discover in it mwhahahaha (the little black liquorice dude) followed by the meat pudding yummy yummy.
