BRITISH FAMILY REACTS! Iconic British Foods You Need To Try Before You Die!

[@BWen3]

A fry sandwich? Lmao. I remember someone in this panel judging an American establishment for putting fries on a burger. 😂

[@MichaelSims94]

Definitely the strangest

[@diggity1039]

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

[@GalactusDaDevourer]

“I would get rid of the tomatoes, mushrooms, and beans. . and the black pudding." ..and now you’re left with an American breakfast. 😂

[@billbrasky1288]

So many times Aiden has judged American food based on terrible photos and descriptions. Now you know how it feels! 😁🍻🍻🍻good job, guys.😁

[@CreoleQ393]

lol right

[@jag6640]

Yeah, there's a reason why there are so few British food restaurants in the world outside of Britain.

[@DC_Greed]

I'll never forgive the video they used for the southern food, the biscuits and gravy looked gross.

[@billbrasky1288]

@@DC_Greed and they showed jambalaya and gumbo with tomatoes in it. And said Mayo or cream cheese goes in ambrosia.

[@diggity1039]

After he said he liked American food in this video I thought, 'liar.'

[@MrSteeles912]

I love when Sophie tries to fight a smile, especially at one of Daz’s humorous lines.

[@lindastarr4699]

As an American I love Scones, Shepherd Pie, Fish & Chips and the Trifle. So many things looked delicious!

[@thseed7]

The way you reacted to things that weren't quite right is how we all correct their videos on American food. They get about 75% of the way there but aren't always accurate about preparations, frequency of consumption or general construction of foods. Made me laugh thinking about all the times I was siting here like, "That's not how we do it."

[@barrykeleher2659]

US resident here (Connecticut). You can absolutely get shepherds pie in restaurants and diners… at least in this area. I think you could probably even get it at Denny’s. There are also British social clubs in my area and a handful of British restaurants that I’ve been able to get blood pudding.

[@beccaRey]

You definitely can get shepherds pie in the US, I really like it. I would love to try a strawberry trifle, that looks like my kind of dessert! 😋

[@Splagnate]

According to Red Dwarf it’s a Bacon Roll! That’s if it’s on a bread roll.

[@andresjuan5173]

I love how Aiden was trying to Hype up Yorkshire pudding and everyone else was like nope not me😂😏

[@DMWolFGurL]

LOL! British food, I am not sure I have ever heard anyone say, "oh man, I can't wait to try British cuisine." Or, "I'm going to Britian for the food."

I'm an American from Hawai'i. The mother of a grade school friend moved to Hawai'i from Scotland, and introduced me to a few British foods that I enjoyed: Scotch eggs, bangers and mash. I loved Shepherd's pie.

[@ClientLost]

It's not super common but black pudding is available in the US. My family is hispanic (Puerto Rican) and we call it morcilla.

[@hadeees]

Its a speciality product

[@ClientLost]

@@hadeees Not really, it can be pretty easily accessible depending where you are. Other places, not so much. I used to have it occasionally on weekends for breakfast growing up.

[@greenmachine5600]

They have a blood sausage in Louisiana and u can find different types of blood sausages in NYC pretty easily

[@Baughlin]

The way you guys say Chorizo is f’n hilarious.

[@brianlewis5692]

In the US you can get Blutwurst (blood wurst) which is similar to black pudding

[@lilJJslayer]

aidens disapproval of G's liver and onions is funny as hell and i agree with him 100%

Aidan's American accent is actually not bad, I want to see him try and do a whole video trying to do an American accent 😂

Most successful U. S. f and c chain was (is, a few are still around) Arthur's Treacher's (the long-time British actor lent his name to the chain back in the 1960s). They started with the basics, but expanded the menu later with things like shrimp, baked fish, clam chowder, and even chicken. Didn't work. The price of cod also did the chain in. The oil used was peanut oil.

[@eponine1966]

My Grandma used to make a mince pie every Christmas. Grandpa's family came from Wales and it was always his favorite holiday treat. Tried it once when I was little, to make him happy. Wasn't a fan, like the rest of the family, but it always made him happy.

[@ShyAnn291]

My grandma did too!

[@davef.6803]

I was in the U.S. military stationed in East Anglia in the 1980's. For a time I lived in a flat above a fish and chips shop on the high street in a small medieval village. Before I could get back upstairs with my greasy treasure the newspaper they wrapped it in would be saturated through with grease. But it was oh so good. Absolutely the best thing I ate in my 3 years in Europe. On the low end of the spectrum was mutton pie. I loved England though. Wish I could have stayed. Cheers!

[@cliftonmobile123]

I always wanted to try a British breakfast 🤔

[@balancedactguy]

Stick with Good Southern BBQ Folks!!😊👍

[@irishbrneyes6978]

That game pie sounds fantastic. My husband and I had Quail as one of the courses at our wedding, and it tasted amazing.

[@murieljames4022]

I’m loving watching Aiden’s face each time the next meal is displayed on the video. This is Aiden 🥴🤢🤮, thanks for the laughs 😂😂😂Aiden! Not to be disrespectful but I think I am sticking to my American food. I think the only ones I would try is shepherd’s pie and minced meat which is nothing but ground beef.

[@christianandersson4345]

Bro the beef welington might be one of the best dishes ever created. Too be fair alot of germanic (including english food) is very brownish and not super visually appealing. But it tastes heavenly. Remember that a ton of american classics have their roots in brittish and german cooking so i think you would like it more than you think.

[@murieljames4022]

@@christianandersson4345 This might be true, but I don’t eat or drink anything pink, rare or bloody and beef Wellington is really rare in the middle.

[@christianandersson4345]

@@murieljames4022 Yeah that might be an issue then. You could probably do it more well done, but i think beef like that needs the rare / medium rare treatment.

[@renx81]

I thought minced meat was just minced meat? You know, all about the method and nothing to do with content? No? Perhaps it's a cultural thing. Where I'm from, minced meat can be beef, pork, 50% of each, or any other combination, hell, even poultry. You can buy it from any grocery store and cook a lot of stuff with it, like pasta, fried potatoes, make burger patties out of it, wrap it into pancakes, tacoes, etc. Just to name a few of the endless applications.

[@billbrosey5909]

I have never seen yet black pudding in America, but I'd love to try it, along with all the other varieties of British food. I love all food and drink.

[@Ameslan1]

Indian Chicken Tikka Masala is also very popular Indian main dish on the menus at Indian Restaurants here in the USA also. I love it! I would think that it is possible that the British Indian version and American version even if both served at Indian restaurants would taste a little different? As far as how it looks, the British version looks the same as American version.

[@andrewvalentine6977]

Tikka Masala tastes different in different Indian restaurants but it's good no matter what.

[@pinkytoman]

liver and onions!?!?!? OMG she knows!! as a mexican i love it too!

Definitely underrated!

My mom made cottage pie growing up and now so do I. I also make a trifle with German chocolate cake and Bailey's cream.

[@williamlambert]

i gotta try this fry sandwich

[@Daeira1]

The ploughmans lunch looks amazing. I'd love to try it.

[@rduncan247]

Black pudding is available in the United States. My Uncle was Portuguese and he loved blood sausage. I forget what it’s called in Portuguese. There’s a large population of Portuguese people in the San Francisco Bay Area so it’s easy to get.

[@GalactusDaDevourer]

To have a food staple with the concept of the chip butty, you know the UK were going through some rough times. 😅

[@MichaelW969]

I've never had black pudding or a classic English breakfast, unfortunately. I live in the midwest. I appreciated Gaynor's omage to Meatloaf, no pun intended. "You took the words right out of my mouth."

[@disoriented1]

I keep seeing 'hash browns' in a full English as being what I call 'McDonald's Hashbrowns'; I'm sure the English version is much better, but the only hash browns I've known in the U.S. you can't pick up with your hands. They are shredded potatoes fried in oil and browned to perfection, somewhat crunchy, and may be finished off with melted cheese and sliced onions.

[@greenmachine5600]

Hashbrowns are American man, theyre a more recent addition to the full English. You can get a great hash browns at a diner in the US

[@bmoak]

Black pudding's pretty rare, but I've had it in the States. The best bet to find it is Irish pubs that open early in the day, maybe for Sunday brunch.

[@reynoldswalter]

Aiden saying "a fiver" in the California valley girl voice was PRICELESS! 🤣

[@Jeff23301]

I haven't seen black pudding but we do have blood sausage here in Massachusetts and Rhode island in some cities and towns because of the large population of Portuguese in the area. The original Portuguese way is with cow blood but US doesn't allow that so pork blood is used.

[@coyotelong4349]

Other varieties of blood sausage are easier to get in the US in specialty grocery stores, but not usually British black pudding Still, you can easily order anything online

[@solace6700]

Who knew you could make a 40 min video about beans on toast 🤯

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

[@pacmanc8103]

I’ve never had hash browns in the UK that are anything like those we have at every diner the US. Hash browns there are odd formed hockey pucks like the ones you buy at McDonalds. 9:46

When it comes to Sunday food competitions, I'd take "roast dinner" over avocado toast (what everyplace serves for Sunday brunch now) any weekend.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

What most people in the US call shepherds pie, is actually cottage pie. Some restaurants that serve it even get it wrong. Lamb and mutton aren't quite as popular here as they are in some other countries, but you'll often find real shepherds pie in English and Irish pubs or "farm to table" style restaurants.

[@tonycardone990]

Black pudding or blood sausage are actually one of my favorite things but pretty hard to find in the CT/NY area so I would usually have to make it myself. There are a few small Latin American shops that make something similar that's also good containing a little more spiciness which I love as well

[@shayef82]

I'd starve if I lived in the UK.

[@marcuspi999]

Now kippers I think of as truly British for one reason. Faulty Towers. One episode is in my top TV episodes of all time. An old man wants kippers sent to his room. In the kitchen they only have questionable kippers, but serve him them anyway. The guy dies and they spend half the show attempting to hide the dead body. They end up hiding the body in the kitchen and then the health inspector shows up. So funny!

[@Theguy.fromthething]

Black pudding sounds like they stuffed meatloaf in sausage casing. Sounds pretty good honestly.

[@thekegster92]

I will never understand beans on toast!!!!

[@DavidZinselmeier]

agree..its from the poverty days of WW2...yuk...most English food is sooo gross, blood pudding...give me a break

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

I’m from Texas, traveled around the US a lot. Never in my life have I seen Black Pudding on a menu. But I have no doubt you could find it in a big city at a restaurant that serves British style cuisine.

[@joelirish]

Exactly my thought about the rarity of it. But most foods - aside from those with questionable ethics involved (e.g., shark fin soup, ortolan bunting, et c.) - can be found in specialty import shops. When I lived in Seattle, there were Polish/Vietnamese/Ethiopian/Central American/West African shops with products you'll never find at Safeway.

[@jasonsutcliffe1973]

Starry Gazey Pie was invented in Mousehole, Cornwall and is cooked and served on December 23rd which is Tom Bowcocks night. The people of Mousehole were all starving and Tom Bowcock took to sea in a storm to catch fish to feed the village, when he landed same and sound the people cooked a huge fish pie. I live in Penzance 3 miles from Mousehole so Tom Bowcocks night is famous down here.

[@dblomqu1]

I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan eating Pasties. I always get a few whenever I get back home. It is rare in the USA to find pasties anywhere else.

[@Charlee1776]

You can get Shepard's Pie (but it's actually cottage pie b/c it's almost always beef) in a ton of places here in the USA.

[@jdbroders64]

I've never seen black pudding here in the US. With that said, there is an equivalent that's very similar in Puerto Rico (my mom is Puerto Rican) called morcilla. It's a pig blood sausage with white rice mixed in and several herbs and it's delicious. It's local to Puerto Rico and not available in the States sadly. I love morcilla and could eat a plate of it.

[@ClientLost]

Depends where you live. In NY, which has a big Puerto Rican population, there are plenty of cuchifrito spots that sell things like alcapurrias, pastelles, empanadillas, and morcilla, among others.

[@marydavis5234]

It is black pudding in the UK, it is known in the US as blood sausage.

[@danieldeanmasterfinisher4715]

Black pudding is not a common dish but you can get it in some English restaurants in the US. We also have the BEST Pasty’s anywhere here in Michigans Upper Peninsula Beef Wellington at a fancy Sunday Brunch is common

[@hamburglar83]

You can get black pudding in USA depending on where you are. Where i am mostly at Asian groceries. Not as good as English black pudding. Chicago has 2-3 “proper” English restaurants/pubs. My favorite place only has full English on sundays.

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

My life won't be complete unless I get the almighty beans on toast, authentically Bri'ish. And a side of mashed peas.

[@RogCBrand]

I've seen in some grocery stores, in the "foreign" food isle they'll have the British style beans. Like all that imported stuff it's expensive, but for a one time purchase to try it, it could be worth it.

[@limeygaynor]

Mushy peas 😊

[@tranurse]

Black pudding is not a thing in the US. But in Louisiana, they make something called boudin noir, which is a blood sausage

[@TaMara_x]

Great video but now I'm hungry and all out of bacon!🥓😋 I've had Shepard's pie here in NY but I'm sure it's more delicious in Britain. ✌❤

[@alexj.5207]

10:32 Im sorry but I laughed when I saw the chip butty

[@Andres64B]

You have to be out of your mind to think that US bacon isn't the best. The other so-called bacon is just ham.

[@officeblokedaz]

Try them both then decide.

[@JohnnyLagzz]

You cant really get black pudding in the US. I dont think its impossible though. I think if you know the right person you can get it.

[@danielkano2197]

I'd pretty much try all of that lol. I'd just remove the head and tail from the stargazer pie and I'm good to go 😆 🤣 😂 great video again guys!

I guess BLT would kind of be our version of the bacon sandwich in us.

[@Amarok_Aquatics]

Puerto Rico which is part of the US has what we call Morcilla which is a blood sausage, which has roots in Spain but has been made into a regional dish. Would love to see some videos showing more of Puerto Rico, the forgotten area of the US

Most of it would be considered comfort food in America. I am so hungry now. Everything but the fish and eel looked so good. Great video!

​@@michaelsmith-iu1beyea I wouldn't say comfort food it reminds me of "struggle meals" meals I make because Ion have enough money

[@paulschirf9259]

Bangers and Mash with dark gravy is so good. Black Pudding is hard to find in the U.S., but is is so good with eggs and toast. In Pittsburgh we put think cut fries (chips) on salads, burgers, and hot pastrami sandwiches... but I've never just see them on bread. As far as seeing the whole body of an animal, it doesn't seem to bother anyone for birds - you see the whole roast chicken sans head, right? Is it just the head that bothers you about a roast pig?

[@jstrahan2]

What the British call bacon is not bacon. It's just slices of ham. Shepherd's pie, cottage pie: "The usual meats are beef or lamb. The two English terms have been used interchangeably since they came into use in the late 18th and the 19th century, although some writers insist that a shepherd's pie should contain lamb or mutton, and a cottage pie, beef."

[@leach9622]

[@kathrynoneill5862]

I think I would like British food. It looks pretty good to me.

[@wesmcdaniel5496]

Closest thing to Black pudding in the states would probably be Blood Sausage.

[@NikkiCox81]

I have made several chip buttys since they talked about them in the other channel. I just put butter in mine. It was delicious. Also tried them with Heinz beans I found in the British section of the grocery store, not a fan of those beans or brown sauce and I’m pretty sure they were authentic. I’ve only ever had shepherd’s pie at an Irish pub restaurant wise here in the US. You can get it frozen at the grocery store but I homemake it and that’s the best.

[@SophieVictoria.]

Chip buttys are the best! ☺️

[@anthonyramirez9003]

When I think of British food. I think of Bangers and Mash. Not so much the mushy peas. Oh and try being of Mexican heritage. Nothing is ever wasted.

You can possibly find black pudding in the US at a UK themed market or restaurant. And even then, it is rare. Using blood as an ingredient was banned for health reasons for a long time, and as so, it never really caught on.

[@MichaelSims94]

Never even heard of black pudding before watching this, I’m with Sophie on the scone pronunciation

[@marcuspi999]

You can get anything in the U.S. of course, but you'd be hard pressed to find any American who has tried black pudding. No restaurant serves it unless it's a themed British place. We had a "British" pub near us for years and they didn't even serve it. It was ground meat pies, bangers, fried fish, mushy peas, potatoes. Those kinds of things. You'd go there and they'd have soccer on the telly and usually someone would say, "Hey, baseball's going to start, anybody watching this?"

[@user-ut4ux2md1j]

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Black pudding contains sheep lung which is banned here in the states , black pudding is marked as unsafe due to the blood used in it as well.
