Shopping in a British Supermarket + NEW HOUSE TOUR & Why Driving in the UK made me CRY!

[@elisha_jane]

Honestly, congratulations to you guys. I think you deserve it. I'm pretty sure I found you guys because my boyfriend at the time and I (we were long distance, they lived in Albany, CA (Bay Area) while I live in Grand Rapids, MI) were going to make a weekend dinner together on Skype and we wanted a homemade ranch dressing recipe lol. I know, that sounds so silly. Well, alas, there you guys were. And funny enough, before I subscribed, my boyfriend at the time would catch some of your videos and actually recognized you guys used to live in the same area-ish as he did! Anyway, I've enjoyed getting to know your fam. Watching your babes grow. Take care can't wait for the HP video 🤍

Just so you know, the Bourbon biscuits aren’t alcoholic, they don’t have whisky in, they are just chocolate sandwich biscuits named after a former French Royal! And yes you’re right, we call them biscuits here, cookies are usually what we call chocolate chip American style cookies.

i mean, to drive in the uk, you have to go through pretty intensive courses and tests. in america, it seems they give licenses to pretty much anyone with eyes

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

TBF it varies state by state, I passed my car and motorcycle tests in Florida no problems but here in England I only have a motorcycle license (when the DVLA can be bothered to do the job correctly) driving cars in the UK is tricky for me as I can't feel the speed the same as riding a motorcycle

@@snowy.ethereal Driving license requirements vary by state, however, there are federal standards every state needs to adhere. I can only speak for the two states where I tested (NJ and CA). Both had rigorous testing requirements, for Car and Motorcycle licenses. I have spent a lot of time in the UK, and have discuss/compared the training in the UK and the two states mentioned above. I didn't find the requirements that different other than age.

[@laurensteenkamp7693]

Unless it's really hot (like it was this summer just gone) it's very uncommon for bugs to come into most British houses*, which is why mesh screens are a non existent feature of British homes. Treacle (proper black treacle) is like Molasses, they both come from the sugar refining process. However since the mid Victorian era most treacle tarts are made Golden syrup (another stage of the srp) which is like very thick honey, the tt in Harry Potter would likely have been (by the houselves) with GS as until some point around the late 80's- mid 90's (when it was taken of the menu) it stopped being in the weekly/ fortnightly school dinner dessert rotation. *= some older houses do have shutters because they were built before curtains became commonplace

[@rideremii]

I absolutely love watching people from other countries shop in our super markets 😂😂

[@iznjess48]

Hey I'm from this area and used to absolutely love going to mead open farm as a kid. They often have events throughout the year too! A really lovely farm!

[@thegingerwitch322]

The thing about roundabouts is that everybody does go at once - to some extent anyway! This is better than stopping at lights - it has been proven that traffic flows better around roundabouts. Eggs are treated in the US so they lose the outside coating that keeps them fresh which is why you keep them in the fridge there

[@bartman9400]

Mythbusters did a test between round abouts and cross roads and yeah the roundabouts were the smarter decision

[@laurawynn6128]

I love this I’m from the uk and love watching people shopping in grocery stores in the USA however I’ve never seen it really done in the Uk and it was lovely to see what you found interesting and different on things that are just normal to us. I’ve driven in The USA and it is easier to drive in the USA also cars tend to be bigger on the USA compared to the Uk People thought I was strange when I choose a hire car in the USA Sinilar size to my car in the UK as i was told no one chooses a car this small normally

[@bobpatton1460]

Hello Laura how are you doing

[@daddyskeletorr]

unlike the US, the UK doesn’t rinse the bloom off their eggs which is why they don’t need to be refrigerated. if you buy farm fresh eggs in the states, they don’t need to be refrigerated either. I didn’t know this until a few months ago and I found it super interesting.

[@bobpatton1460]

Hello Barnes how are you doing

[@laila.chloee]

I’m so happy you came to our country, Scotland! as a Scottish person I have to say…Not many Scottish people actually like haggis even though it was invented and made in Scotland!

[@white-dragon4424]

As well as giving way to everything coming from the right and getting in the right lane for your exit, you also have to have some assertiveness whilst using roundabouts. I really did most of my learning to drive on a motorcycle on my own, so I quickly learnt how to be assertive and observant at all times.

I'm glad you went to a larger Tesco, so many shop tours by overseas visitors are filmed at the smaller town and city centre branches which due to their size have a lot less selection and can be more expensive.

[@villainmcn9339]

im a uk resident, and the roads can be scary, but once you get used to it there's nothing to worry about! A tip for roundabouts is that you wanna stay in the right land, and that you always give way to the RIGHT. also its pronounced ah-ll-di

Egg producers in the States have to wash their eggs. This removed the natural protective covering and means that they have to be refrigerated. Not so in the UK and eggs keep for a long time at room temperature.

Oh we definitely do have mosquitoes in the UK especially in the south or south east or south west, maybe not so much up north as it’s a few degrees cooler.

And if you're around London, then just plain don't. In London use public transport.
