101 Things this American LOVES about the UK (rapidfire!)

[@thoughtful_criticiser]

Try Toby Carvery, they give you the Yorkshire Pudding before they know what you are going to order. They usually have Roast Beef, Ham, Pork and Turkey crown, with Lamb on a Sunday, you can get one of each or just one or two or three. They always have Roast potatoes, a choice of cooked in Beef dripping (fat) which are delicious or oil, a choice of vegetables which you are allowed to go back for more of. It's an inexpensive way of getting a slowly roasted dinner and you can go large two Yorkshire Puddings, sausage and extra meat, this is my preferred option.

You've seen more of Great Britain than many of us Brit's have seen in all the years we have lived here. By hearing views from those not born here it makes one realise that we really need to appreciate our country more!

[@KenFullman]

I spent 6 months in Australia staying with my brother. When I was telling his friends what I'd been up to out there, they all said "you've seen more of Australia than any of us". Ironically many of them had seen more of the UK than most Brits. It's strange how our sense of adventure seems to disappear in our homeland. I've seen most parts of mainland UK, but only because I've had reason to travel for business, visiting relatives or attending events. I've rarely decided, "let's just take a trip to wherever just to see it"

The UK loves having you here too. I like your comments and views about our loverly country. I found when I hitched around America in the 70's I found your countrymen very friendly. I was there for 4 months and slept in my tent only 5 times, people always invited me to stay with them so much. I hitched from Detroit to the Grand Canyon and back via Oaklahoma. The frontier spirit still lives. I've a question for you, why don't Americans like beans on toast, are the beans differant somehow. Great list other than Lake Distric as when its worth being there, weatherwise, everyone in Britain is there. Liked your food list, it is rather large isn't it. Still you don't look fat, so carry on. Wales is also such a great place and I love the people so much we have moved to their borders.

[@GirlGoneLondonofficial]

Thank you for watching! Wow, that's so kind that so many people invited you to stay in the US - that doesn't surprise me, we are very open with our homes as a cultural rule. American baked beans are different to UK baked beans, which is why they don't go well on toast. :)

I'm always fascinated by the fact that Americans - almost without exception - upon visiting the UK (for the first time) fall in love with Yorkshire pudding, having never encountered it before. And yet the ingredients and recipe are basic and simple. The 102nd best thing in the UK, is the fact that you Kalyn have become part of us and long may you remain here.

[@davidmartin8211]

The confusion to an American a pudding is a desert and not similar to a bread dumpling. Yes I know Americans to enjoy making Yorkshire pudding.

[@realhorrorshow8547]

It's the same with American "biscuits" which serve the same function - they're a cheap way to fill the plate and soak up gravy. So far as I can tell, they're scones, without the sugar and fruit, yet you seldom see them here in the UK. That said, my preference is for Yorkshires. Crispy top, gooey bottom. The later innovation of making a giant one and putting the whole rest of the meal inside it, is genius.

[@dominicadler7459]

There's a story that when Kevin Costner came here to film 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' he became addicted to Yorkshire puddings. So much so he got a bit porky and had to use a body double in some of the swimming scenes 🤣

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

As someone who lives within walking distance of Loch Lomond, if you love the Scottish Highlands I can recommend going further north than Fort William. Moving north brilliant places to visit include the villages around Loch Carron like Plockton and Lochcarron, then Torridon. Applecross. Loch Maree, Ullapool, Achiltibuie, Inchnadamph and Assynt, Scourie, Durness and Tongue. Knoydart and Fisherfield Forest are also amazing but only accessible by boat or walking ( though worth doing if you're happy to hike and camp). There's a circular 500 mile road route around most of these places called the North Coast 500 which also goes across to the east coast where the scenery is less good but the weather better. Basically, this is a long winded way of saying that there's still most of the best bits of the Highlands to see. And then there's the other islands in the inner and outer Hebrides and Orkney and..

[@arthurjarrett1604]

Loch Carron gets my vote for best scenery. I and my (late) Mrs used to travel to Beauly at least once a year (sometimes three times) and used there as a base to explore the Highlands. We usually travelled west but now and again we'd go east which, whilst not spectacular, has its own charm. I've only been to Benbecula in the Hebrides and that was for live firing of missiles in my army days. The NC500 is on my bucket list even though I think I've visited most places on the route. I also visited my brother when he lived in Clydebank and we'd always go for a pub lunch at The Lodge on the Loch. Good times.

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

@@arthurjarrett1604 Yes, Lochcarron is nice and I've spent a few weeks staying in the village or in the hotel just outside, climbing the hills in the surrounding area. I think my personal favourite area is the area north of Ullapool, Assynt around to Tongue. I've stayed in Scourie and Tongue hotels for a few weeks over the years as well as staying in Ullapool a few times. The whole area is different from other parts of the Highlands with the landscape looking very primeval.

[@arthurjarrett1604]

@@UnknownUser-rb9pd Yeah, primeval is a good description of that area. Never went as far up as Scourie due to time constraints. Had a nice lunch in the pub/hotel overlooking the harbour at Ullapool and had a chat with a very posh sounding bloke that was doing Lands End - John O' Groats in a Ferrari. Having just looked at the NC500 again, there's actually quite a bit I haven't been to!!

I am a Brit, living in the UK. I very much agree with your list, which might be surprising with so many items on it. Personally I try not to each too much junk food, but I have a weakness for Walkers salt and vinegar crisps. I spent 14 years living and working in California. I loved it there, particularly the weather and the wonderful fruit and salads. However, after a few years I missed the greenness of the UK; that is the flip side of having more rain in the UK. The California countryside is brown in the summer, which I guess is why it is optimistically called “The Golden State”. 😊 I am really happy that you are here in the UK. That is good for all of us.

Yorkshire Pudding is traditionally made with lard or beef dripping (heated in the tray before the mixture is added), so that may be why you wouldn't be offered any with your nut roast, although I agree it's sometimes annoying to find that the beef comes with yorkies, but for some reason the other meats don't include this.

[@alanpriest5047]

sorry Sherlock but there is no such thing as a "Yorkie"... they are Yorkshire Puddings. End of

[@lawrencelewis2592]

Here's a few more- Pubs that serve real ale on cask. Heritage railways and the entire rail system of Britain. The London-to-Brighton run of the veteran cars. All of the museums at South Kensington. the Imperial War Museum at Duxford where Spitfires fly.

[@AndyKing1963]

you should check out Guernsey and while you are there take the ferry to the much smaller island of Herm

[@andreasstavrinides6980]

Ham, egg and chips...how could that not have been on your list? Also, apple crumble and custard (and/or ice cream), and rhubarb crumble. And marmalade! Hmmm, my list seems to be very food orientated.

[@barriehull7076]

From Dover you can see the coast of France, if you must, been their via ferry and channel tunnel, I recommend going to Le Havre. In 2005, UNESCO inscribed the central city of Le Havre as a World Heritage Site because of its unique post-WWII reconstruction and architecture.

[@johnwhelan8243]

An eclectic list. I agree with you about the lambs, very cute and slow cooked shoulder of spring lamb has to be amongst my favourite foods of all time.

[@0venchip]

Crumpets are made with a batter. Fried or poached egg on beans on toast.

[@GirlGoneLondonofficial]

Ah, ha, batter is the word I was looking for!

[@continental_drift]

I love to put honey on crumpets along with the butter. Yes, a nicely poached egg with baked beans!

[@jt5765]

Grated mature cheddar on the toast melted under a grill before the beans & egg if you want it to truly be elite 👌

[@roysimpson9711]

Try frying until crispy too@@GirlGoneLondonofficial

[@davidmartin8211]

Crumpet with smoked salmon andHollandaise sauce or orange marmalade and shaved dark chocolate.

[@JenniferRussell-qw2co]

I nearly jumped for joy when you mentioned Bournemouth Beach, my local stretch of golden sands. You have excellent taste!! ❤🙋‍♀️🤪

[@Kevinlinnane]

Hi kalyn , one thing I love about England is that you live here 🤷‍♂️👍

2:04 Potato waffles. Have you never been to Chick-Fil-A in the US? Waffle fries are their signature side dish. A few side notes from an American who went to a UK boarding school as a child - 1. Never be a snitch (grasser) in the UK. Most cultures dislike snitches, but the UK takes that to a whole new level. If you become known as a grasser, your social life is kaput (never happened to me, but I saw one kid ostracized to the point he changed schools). 2. Visit Bourton-On-The-Water and Bath in the Cotswolds. I lived near both and they are truly amazing. 3. While you're doing "Roman" stuff like visiting Bath, also take in either Chedworth or Great Whitcombe Roman villas in Gloucestershire. You won't find any in the USA, so make sure to enjoy some of the ancient Anglo-Roman history.

[@sarahfoster6765]

Waffle Fries are not the same as potato waffles 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@susanfarley1332]

Waffle fries are potatoes cut fancy. Potato waffles are not cut potatoes.

[@stevecarter8810]

Rule 1 could also be: don't go to boarding school in the UK, the culture is toxic

[@maxdorey6713]

Next time you go to Oxford you absolutely must go for ice cream and milk shakes at George and Davis. It's an ice cream parlour opened by an American who was studying in Oxford around 30 years ago and is open till midnight - an institution (biased because I worked there as a student 20 years ago)

[@Andy_U]

Hiya. I thought you may have added the Natural History Museum, but maybe you haven't been there, yet. Also, FYI, the musical version of The Devil Wears Prada opens October 24th and the Dominion Theatre is taking bookings now for performances upto 31st May 2025 (not sponsored). Stay safe. All the best to you.

[@GirlGoneLondonofficial]

Oh my gosh Andy!! How did you know I would be dying to see the Devil Wears Prada?! Can't wait!

[@gaynorhead2325]

As someone who lives in the Chilterns I’m glad you included it in your list! Excellent list by the way!

[@john_smith1471]

Yes, Coombe Hill in the Chilterns, Boar War monument, excellent views.

[@paulsavin2901]

Rhubarb crumble and custard

[@Colin-to1nv]

Oh yes! First was served that home made in South Africa by my mom whose parents were British.

[@nealgrimes4382]

Revolting, Apple and Blackberry crumble all the way.

[@Damien.Young46]

[@Lily-Bravo]

The nay sayers could try rhubarb with Pernod and White chocolate, it was a game changer for me.

[@bobm4378]

@@Lily-Bravo if you still hate the taste of rhubarb (like me..) try 'rhubarb & strawberry jam' !! bought by mistake.. I did not believe it, the strawberries take away the 'harsh' bit, lovely!!!!

[@ara3592]

I dont know why it's so strangely hypnotically interesting to be overwhelmed with nice things about our country and that are easily available to me, but it is... another great vlog, so thank you!

[@davidcross8028]

Try Yorkshire Puddings with Golden Syrup..... not bad as a sort of dessert.

[@teresafinch7790]

With a blob of ice cream on top

Really...... !!@@teresafinch7790

[@ileanashirley-smith1674]

[@colingoode3702]

Try Yorkshire puddings drizzled with Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup as a desert. One of my favourites.😋

[@GirlGoneLondonofficial]

Will definitely try!

[@SiobhanHfuhruhurr-qe1ul]

Or ice cream and toffee sauce / caramel

[@user-man-now80]

Love you ; love your videos ; and your enthusiasm : glad you're here. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire

[@Mickman007]

I agree about the Isle of Skye and the highlands so ruggedly beautiful.

[@CharpyTheHedgehog]

Other places I love as someone from Northern England (which was under-represented in this video)- Liverpool waterfront, Manchester Northern Quarter and Gay Village, Chester, York, Durham, Lancaster, Northumberland Coast, Yorkshire Dales, Howarth, Harrogate/Knaresborough, the Peak District, Chatsworth House and of course the Lake District as you already mentioned.

When you said about Yorkshire puddings and roasts I was expecting Toby Carvery but to each their own I guess

[@johnpublicprofile6261]

Try GIANT Yorkshire Pudding with roast dinner inside it or, as served by a pub in Yorkshire, with chilli 🌶 inside.

[@GirlGoneLondonofficial]

Sounds amazing!

[@danbakf9]

I’ve posted the link to the crooked billet x

[@danbakf9]

You can even have Yorkshire pudding for pudding! x

[@shonafairbairn5910]

I would add another- Little Mix, love them ❤. Also Coronation Street and the set tour.

[@jamesgilbart2672]

Agree with all of those - well maybe not Gordon Ramsay. Yes, I've often wondered why the Americans don't do roast potatoes (or decent cheese) - they have the ingredients!

[@jamesbeeching6138]

Yep Gordon Ramsey is a failed footballer who has turned into a bullying bore who relies on his father in law to bail him out financially!!!

[@davidmartin8211]

I have eaten good American cheese but, unfortunately, it is not always widely available. Americans do roasted potatoes but they usually prepare them either baked, mashed, or boiled.

[@terrystewart1973]

Not just roast potatoes, don't forget roast parsnips, roast carrots and roast sweet potatoes as well!

[@missharry5727]

​@@terrystewart1973roast parsnips - now you're talking.

Great video. What you love is yours to choose, no matter what anyone else thinks. I love your videos!

[@tirednsleepy44]

Someone get this girl some Yorkshire puddings, it’s 2024 and we no longer enforce the roast beef rule. They’re for roasts, she’s absolutely right.

[@Yandarval]

If Kayln is buys a Nut Roast. Which implies a veggie. Good Yorkshires are cooked in animal fats. This is likely why they were not offered.

[@tirednsleepy44]

@@Yandarval can’t imagine that, because she said she asked for them but they don’t do them for that particular meat

[@nealgrimes4382]

Too right, i like a giant one filled with Chilli, don't even need a roast.

[@blackcountryme]

Beef is now expensive, and carries a security tag to prevent shoplifting. So it's chicken every Sunday, it's getting old now. Maybe pork today?

[@tirednsleepy44]

@@blackcountryme it was only traditionally beef to use the dripping for cooking the yorkshires. Nowadays dripping is available from a shop. So you can have them for breakfast, lunch, snack, anything
