Koreans Try American Desserts For The First Time (Apple Pie, Cookie Dough, Coke Float) | KATCHUP

What's your FAV American dessert?!🤩

[@gisellelopez7197]

You guys should try Mexican deserts!!!

[@KpopfanOT9]

Try some Brazilian food, please! 😊

[@rubiitoxic]

You gotta include jello with whipped cream, deep fried oreos, and funnel cakes for American desserts 2 😂

Hot slice of apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream

Apple pie with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

[@scruffynips13]

I would say root beer floats are far more popular in the US than coke floats. Root beer seems to be one of those sodas that isn't popular anywhere else, though.

[@AlwaysHavingFun951]

I agree. I've never had a coke float. Lol

[@nntflow7058]

Not really, it's more Iconic for sure BUT most people hates Root Beer. Hence why many diners and restaurants replaces them with Coke instead of Root Beer. The 2 dinners near my home have Coke Floats instead of Root beer floats.

[@JimFeig]

There is a joke about that that root beer phenomenon in an old show kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIfLhKBsfJyWjM0 I wonder if its because they aren't serving it cold with ice. I wonder if they would like Cream Soda

[@LucaLoveU]

I cringed so hard when they said coke instead of root beer..

[@emanymton713]

The Sarsaparilla root that used to be the root in root beer was replaced with sassafras. Unfortunately sassafras root is used in medicine in the rest of the world so, everyone immediately tastes like they are drinking medicine and “hates” the flavor because they associate it with being ill.

[@KayPopKraze]

in america we have edible cookie dough that is made without eggs that you can just eat by itself and then we have cookie dough that we of course bake. the edible cookie dough does taste a bit different from the real cookie dough so i understand their reaction

[@qwertyuiopz123]

the danger with cookie dough is the uncooked flour and not the eggs

[@Kingdom_Of_Dreams]

@@qwertyuiopz123 It's both, but thankfully Pillsbury how makes their cookie dough safe for consumption without having to bake it!

[@la8ball]

@@qwertyuiopz123 Both can get you sick but the flour is more likely to get you sick compare to eggs and not because its unsanitary. Flour got a lot of natural bacteria in it and when eating too much cases stomach aches. For eggs, the inside is 100% safe to eat raw. It's the outside you have to worry about. If the protect coating on the egg surface is broken or shell is cracked, bacteria and stuff can get inside the egg. Good news your chance of getting sick is very slim to none with all the preventive measure they companies took to make sure it does not happen. I've made a bunch of batter from scratch and never got sick after eating it. Only ones that need to worry are people with weak immune systems.

[@darkangel_1978]

Nestle's has edible cookie dough, and they also have cookie dough ice cream. I have both of them in my fridge/freezer as we speak.

For Kyeong Yeon: There are American desserts that are made with tart fruits, so there is a tart/sweet thing going on when you eat them....Key Lime Pie, Lemon Meringue Pie, Cherry Pie, any dessert with citrus fruits (for instance, cheesecakes made with oranges or lemons), whole fruit popsicles usually have a little tartness. You can make cakes that aren't too sweet also, with before-mentioned fruits or fruit and nuts together (banana bread is one).

Banana pudding has always been popular way before Sex In The City. Its a staple in black american and southern culture. But next gotta add the Jackson or Nilla wafers to it lol

[@JMarieCAlove]

I grew up in Southern California and a lot of my friends moms made banana pudding, and they were white or Hispanic moms and my mom always made banana pudding and my grandmothers made banana pudding and banana cream pie and we’re Mexican-Americans. Lol.. When we went to restaurants, like a local coffee shop, there was always in the desert case, slices of cakes or pies, and different flavors of pudding and banana pudding was one of them. I still see it made or sold to this day. I still see banana pudding or the banana cream pies at family get togethers or church potlucks. It’s not a culture thing, it’s just an American favorite. Now I want some! Lol

[@doomburger8433]

S'mores are a treat people make while sitting around the fire camping. You don't need a refrigerator for the ingredients and children can make them. There are very nostalgic.

[@jennyng2994]

I have a theory about s'mores; that people have been conditioned into thinking they like s'mores because of pop-culture and nostalgia, when they are not objectively the best. The flavor combination is good, but dear lord, the graham crackers create this initial dry, dusty barrier, in which, until your saliva kicks in and makes a cohesive mass, you're just cutting the roof of your mouth with celibacy-cookies.

[@gregengel1616]

@@jennyng2994 I disagree with your theory. S'mores weren't really a thing when I was little. I'm 62, but didn't have my first one until I was about 12. The melted chocolate and marshmallows, I guess got rid of the dry graham cracker that you mentioned.

[@jamesyamamoto5155]

Cookie dough is kinda a nostalgia thing. As kids we used to eat the left over cookie dough off the spoon or mixer while waiting for the cookies to bake.

I probably wouldn't call cookie dough a favorite in America 🤷🏻‍♀️ Root beer floats are the classic, coke isn't really a float staple 😕 Also caramel apple is better and easier if you cut it into slices. Make it easier to eat that way. Apple pie and vanilla ice cream are a great pair 😄

[@SouthernRebels94]

Well cookie dough could be in away since kids use to eat the leftover cookie dough while the cookies where being baked, but I grew up eating freshly made cookie dough as my mom use to make two batches she will cook one batch and take the other batch for us to eat with a bowl of French vanilla ice cream.

I agree with other commenters that root beer floats are much better and much more popular in the US. I don't know that I've even ever had a Coke float.

[@DavisPeetnik]

They served a Coke Float possibly because they couldn't find root beer in any of the stores there (I could be TOTALLY wrong about this though since I've never been to South Korea!) In my experience, most Koreans and Japanese find that root beer and Dr. Pepper (my fav!) smells like medicine and tastes bad enough to be undrinkable!

[@Allen-hg2hu]

​@@DavisPeetnikAgreed. They consider the root beer flavor like a cough syrup or medicine, so Coke was probably the safest option. Like you, Dr.Pepper is my favorite, but that would likely be too sweet to them also.

I found the negative reaction to cookie dough to be an interesting cultural difference. For Americans, cookie dough is a taste that takes us back to childhood memories of helping our mothers or grandmothers in the kitchen and licking the mixer batons afterwards. Also, I feel that eating cookie-dough started as a joke in American movies and American television programs. Cookie dough was eaten by characters that were either broken-hearted or too lazy to bother with baking. It had a negative connotation but eventually it became its own place as a dessert. Rather than eating straight up I recommend having some cookie dough ice cream instead. Thanks, Katchup for bringing joy to people everywhere!

[@TheGoldenChildJai]

I dont really eat a lot of the desserts you guys tried, but I agree with the caramel apple. I tried it once and was not a fan either but there are apple dipping options. There are other pies too.

This is probably one of the first reactions from abroad that I've seen that seemed to have a well-informed research department based on what they chose. Y'all could totally do a part 2 if you wanted. It's a roadtrip desert (meaning you eat from your car while driving) but I'd love to see Peanuts in Coke reacted to. Even many american's don't know about it because it's regional to the state of Georgia, and mostly from the 1940's and 50's. But all you do is take a sleeve of salty roasted peanuts (8-10 ounces I think), get a 16oz. bottle of Coke, open and drink some of the coke to make room (just above the label), and then pour in the bad of peanuts. It'll get salty foam. And you just drink/eat it immidiately. 80 years ago Georgia was basically all farming communities, and we still grow MOST of the peanuts in America. So there were a lot of extra peanuts all the time. Coke is also from Georgia, so that was on hand as well. So this drink was enjoyed outside because you could carry around the bottle while you were working. And modern day, you eat/drink it with one hand while you are driving everywhere.

[@msladieKAT]

This is a first I've heard about coke float. Root beer float is quite popular and familiar for most people. Pumpkin pies are not made from large pumpkins used to carved for Halloween. Pumpkin pies are usually made from smaller pumpkins, and mostly eaten on Thanksgiving, not Halloween. My kids prefer s'mores during camp. It's nostalgic. My kids enjoy toasting their marshmallows at the camp fire. Like everyone have said, caramel apple is better to slice in quarters and then eat it. The only thing I don't like about it is the apple gets soggy from the caramel after awhile. By the way, that's a lot of cookie dough. I personally don't eat raw cookie dough. Now, these desserts are not eaten on a daily basis. Most of these are eaten during a season or an event/occasion. Apple pies and pumpkin pies are usually eaten during Thanksgiving, s'mores during (summer) camp, caramel apple at the fair, root beer floats can be made at home anytime, etc.

Never had a coke float, I have always had a root beer float. My favorite is Pumpkin Pie, and it doesn't matter what time of year it is. I don't care for the caramel apple.

[@jennynoelle6782]

- Apple and pumpkin pie are both Thanksgiving staples. They are usually much thicker (and juicier in the case of the apple pie) than that and you eat it with a fork. Whipped cream and vanilla ice cream are popular toppings, though it's common to eat them without. - S'mores are easy to make and consistently popular - toasted marshmallow and milk chocolate (Hershey's) sandwiched between a pair of graham crackers. Ideally, you make them whenever you have a fire and the ingredients (ex: camping during summer, around a fireplace during winter), so the marshmallow should be still warm and the chocolate should be slightly melted. - Caramel apples are great, usually found at carnivals and fairs, but are a pain to eat. I've found a fork helps to balance it while eating it, in the traditional form, but it can also be in the form of dipped apple slices. - I've never heard of a "coke float", but root beer floats are common (despite the name, "root beer" is a type of soda made from the root bark of sassafras trees). A "float" is made by simply topping a drink with vanilla ice cream. - I've heard of banana pudding, but I don't live in a part of the country where it is popular. They're really more of a southern thing. - Cookie dough is more a flavor than anything (ex: "cookie dough ice cream" is just vanilla with cookie chunks), and children are discouraged from eating actual raw cookie dough because of the health risk (raw eggs and flour). You can buy "edible cookie dough", but it's not really "supposed to be eaten" in that form - it's just less of a health risk in case any of it does gets eaten prior to baking.

[@sovereigndawn2546]

Caramel apples are difficult to eat. You also have to use the right apple. Granny Smith are probably one of the better apples for it. They are smaller and more tart than others so it goes better with the sweet caramel.

[@BunnyRea13]

In the cookie dough we normally eat, the flour is toasted (precooked) and there are no eggs, so it's safe to eat.

Never heard of Randy's donuts, east or west coast. And it's better to cut the caramel apples than to bite it off the stick. P.s. it's cute they eat the pies like pizza because why not.

And they do cut the apples and serve it on a small plate, since the chocolate will crack and fall off, makes it easier to share too if you are so inclined. Now i want one...

S'mores are in a game called Kingdom of Loathing; they give crap stats at first, but, the more you eat, the better they get, but can only eat so many per run, as every S'more also costs +1 more food space point than the last one you ate.

For more tart desserts try strawberry rhubarb pie. Rhubarb is a plant with edible stalks like celery. I know it sounds crazy to combine it with strawberries but it's something people in the South love.

[@lucaseichler3140]

Funny enough, me and my family usually cut up caramel/candy apples before we serve them, since: 1- it's easier to eat 2- you get to share it

[@mokumboi19]

If they want a tart dessert, try Key lime pie. You'll have to get some Key lime juice shipped over, but it will be worth it. Another option is lemon icebox pie. Both are delicious.

[@bbokAriyuyu]

We slice the caramel apple and keep all of the pieces together in a parchment paper similar to a cupcake liner so you can pick it up

2:19 he looked so cute when he stuffed it in his mouth 😭- he looks like a chipmunk

[@UwUVanessaUwU]

As an American, if you thought Caramel Apples were hard to bite, try a candied apple. It's almost completely hardened candy around an apple. One bite and you'll probably lose a tooth.

[@dangerfindertreasureseeker8905]

Waffles and Ice cream , Candy Apples, Rootbeer Floats, Funnel Cakes , Fried Oreo just to name a few.

I have watched Korean videos eating live small octopus. YES. It was head first and tentacles were all over man's face. I will eat desert anytime.

[@isoldejaneholland8370]

That was horrifying. My brother worked at an aquarium when he was 17, and he loved their octopus. She'd slink over to be petted when he brought her food, and clasp his arm so that he'd stay with her longer.

Another lesser known delight is the Sour Cream Raisin pie.

[@himenyx153]

I feel like all the caramel apples I've gotten didn't have a hard shell of caramel, but more a thick and soft caramel that's still kinda difficult to take a bite of but not like you guys struggled!

[@BluSteel-9379]

The caramel apples are a lot easier and neater if you cut them into slices. (Not sure but, I think some of the sweet shops might be able to slice them for you, if you ask)

[@1nm1]

Never heard of Pumpkin pie being eaten on Halloween. It is traditionally served on Thanksgiving and Christmas. However it is available for purchase all year long.

[@franpeen]

banana pudding is my number one and pumpkin pie is right after that

[@misshell]

You typically have the caramel apples sliced. Alternatively, you can first slice the apples, then dip them in caramel.

[@WorldOfNothin]

I think sometimes their understanding of American foods could be better. Several of these I won't even call a Dessert mainly the Float, the Caramel Apple, Cookie Dough, and the S'mores as those can be seen more as snacks not something eaten after a meal. Plus, Root Beer floats are way more common then using something like Coke, but Root Beer seems to be unpopular outside of the US. Also, not sure if that was proper Cookie Dough or not, as there is a difference. As for the Caramel Apple, you can eat it off the stick, but I would have cut it up as its a lot easier to eat. Oh the S'mores is also questionable with the cracker/cookie they used, but understandable about not liking marshmallow or American chocolate.

[@darrikgoettsche1]

For a tart dessert I’d do lemon merengue pies, you know you have a good filling when it is so tart it is on the verge or being sour. The merengue is sweet to balance it.

[@outwest1014]

Long time favorite is Cherry pie, My family always made a bit tart. A La Mode of course.

[@aictopus]

Well you kinda have to make the things the right way for them to taste correct lol

[@annaqtjoey]

fill an ice cream cone with mini marshmallows and bit's of chocolate. Wrap it in foil and bake until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted. remove the foil and scoop ice cream on top. S'more surprise ice cream. It's a favorite dessert in my family because the kids just grab a foiled ice cream cone and form a line to the person scooping the ice cream. My first memory of this tradition was when I was seven. I'm now 38.

[@user-akbal10]

Rootbeer floats are better and more common than coke floats. Also cookie dough is usually mixed in vanilla ice cream.

[@Bubber_Fly]

I've always seen Rootbeer floats as opposed to Coke floats as most of the comments have mentioned, but another variant I grew up on was Purple Cow. It's an ice cream float with grape juice. So good!

[@PixelaGames2000]

Cookie dough, and s’mores, Mmm, So good. Glad you guys enjoyed it at least somewhat, and…yeah, we have a lot of sugar in our food, mostly because companies want to get us hooked and addicted to it, so we keep coming back and buying their food.

[@catherinecarr502]

To be honest, I think most of the appeal of cookie dough to Americans is that we grew up being told we were not supposed to eat it until after it was cooked. So of course companies made a version that was safe to eat uncooked and we all love it because it tastes like the forbidden snack we were always denied as children. XD I agree with the others also; root beer floats were invented because the unique flavor of root beer complements the flavor of vanilla ice cream very well. It was not meant to be done with coke and I think perhaps they tried the coke float because they couldn't find root beer. :P
