American Couple Reacts: Trying British Foods, Snacks & Drinks for the FIRST TIME! Part 3!

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Hi everyone. As we said in the opening, we mean no disrespect posting this video after the passing of Queen Elizabeth. Many asked that we would post to help offer a distraction in this incredibly sad time. This episode was recorded before her passing. We hope this offers a smile to you. God bless you all, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

When a monarch dies, the saying is "the Queen is dead. Long live the King!" all as one sentence. We're all a bit numb (kind of thought she'd outlive us all!) but the statement means we recognise that life has to go on. We certainly don't expect the world to stop turning for us so keep up the good work ladies x

During World War 2 when food was very very short there was a fear that the lack of vitamin C could lead to health issues such as scurvy. The UK's only real abundant fruit crop, high in Vitamin C, was blackcurrants. It really caught on and became a firm favourite.

[@lo1079]

Thanks, I never knew that. It's just a flavour I take for granted. My Nan and her siblinhs were evacuated to Wales (from Liverpool), so I'm glad they may have had them as a nice treat.

Pickled Onion Monster Munch are the best crisps in the world. I love Ribena and I think it’s fairly strong, if it tastes watered down to you I definitely don’t wanna drink anything in America lol I think my teeth would fall out immediately. Tayto’s are Irish crisps, prawn cocktail sauce is supposed to be the flavour, not the actual prawn or shrimp itself, I love Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps but I have a phobia of prawns so have never actually eaten a real prawn cocktail, only the crisps. I only drink Zero sugar fizzy drinks cos I can’t stand too much sugar.

[@oneshiningstar281]

That’s exactly what I thought when she said that about the Ribera 😂

[@russjam121]

Exactly. A majority of American candy and drinks are made with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar and more unhealthy. Also it is even sweeter than sugar so the comments saying it's watered down or not very sweet is easy to understand why.

[@gaelsomerville5163]

Blackcurrants carry four times the amount of vitamin C as oranges, and double the amount of antioxidants as blueberries. They are a tart fruit and we quite like the tartness to counteract sweet so there is a lot of blackcurrant stuff over here. A lot more artificial sweetner used over here as various Governments try to tax sugar or pressure manufacturers to reduce sugar (which to be fair is not exactly good for us). Taste is a funny old thing, really. We always used to see Hershey's on American shows and it was so sad when we finally got to taste it and to me, it tasted like the smell of vomit. But apparently, if you grow up with it like American kids do, you don't taste that at all.

Love this video 😂 I love the onion flavoured things. Prawn cocktail isn’t actually prawn flavour, it’s the flavour of the sauce you have on a prawn cocktail. Star bars have peanuts but they don’t have peanut butter. All flavourings in the UK are natural flavourings and natural colours. No artificial colours or flavours so things might taste weaker to you that actually taste strong to us. Also Britain had a massive cut on sugar and started taxing companies more on sugary things so they started replacing sugar with sweetners. Wagon wheels used to be even bigger when I was a kid, and used to have a tonne of jam. But to reduce sugar they reduced the jam. Everything was better when we were kids LOL

My gran worked as a lab tech at Mars when they were developing Galaxy. The reason it tastes different is that it has a different crystal structure that they achieved using a double melt process. This was discovered, as many great things are, by accident. Mars did most of their product development work in the UK, out of their factory in Slough. We used to be able to tell it was about to rain because the wind would blow from a particular direction and carry the smell of chocolate over ten miles away.

Mushy peas without fish and chips and vinegar is just odd, ribena is meant to be a light not overly sweet soft drink that is aimed at kids so not meant to be overly strong and unhealthy, chicken and mushroom pot noodles are the one.. the chow mein is definitely poor.

Blackcurrant production in the United States is relatively limited. The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) was introduced by English settlers at the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and was cultivated on some scale, particularly in New York. The plant acts as a host for the white pine blister rust that threatened the timber industry. In 1911, the federal government banned the cultivation, sale, and transport of blackcurrants to protect the white pine. Government programs systematically destroyed blackcurrant plants by chemical spraying. The federal ban was lifted in 1966, though many states maintained their own bans. Research showed that blackcurrants could be safely grown some distance from white pines and this, together with the development of rust-immune varieties and new fungicides, led to most states lifting their bans by 2003. Blackcurrants are now grown commercially in the Northeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest. Because of the long period of restrictions, blackcurrants are not popular in the United States, and one researcher has estimated that only 0.1% of Americans have eaten one.

It's probably a bit of both. For example, the baked beans that Heinz originally sold in the UK were the same as what they sold in the USA, but over time they changed the recipe to more appeal to British tastes. Which is why American and British style baked beans are so different today.

[@Tom-ed-w]

@@kaspianepps7946 also I heard, and don't trust me on this, but I heard uk doesn't allow certain bad chemicals/Ingredients here so it doesn't taste the same

[@kaspianepps7946]

@@Tom-ed-w In regards to baked beans, even a home made recipe would be radically different between the UK and US styles. But yes, there are a lot of chemicals that are either illegal or voluntarily not used in the Uk that are used in food in the US. One example was highlighted in the video: Fanta is so much more orange in the US because it contains two colours - sunset yellow (E110/Yellow 6) and allura red (E129/Red 40) - that are thought to cause hyperactivity in children. There was talk of a ban in the UK, but this was changed to requiring a warning on the packaging and most major brands stopped using them anyway.

[@britishknightakaminininja1123]

Love the instant connection with HP Brown Sauce to A1 Steak Sauce because, of course, *both* of them are British. For whatever reasons, A1 Sauce when introduced to the US did very well, but over in the UK, it rather failed against its rivals, most especially HP Sauce, but also to 'Daddies' who produce both Ketchup and Brown Sauce. A1 Sauce reached the USA via Canada as a Brown Sauce, but was renamed 'A1 Steak Sauce' for the US market. The really amusing part is that, of course, both HP sauce and A1 sauce are part of the Heinz company products, yet for whatever reasons, Americans view it as a US product, and rarely even suspect that it is a completely British import at heart.

[@johnp8131]

You wil be pleased to know that A1 sauce is also originally British too, from the 1830's. Still availabe here but not as common as a few decades ago? "Split pea soup", yes we have pea & ham soup, not hugely popular here anymore. Probably more of a German thing, for the US, most traditional restauants over there will serve it but with smoked mettwurst rather than ham.

[@zabem]

My favourite bit about this video was both of your faces eating the monster munch. 😂 Thank you for that giggle. Our general flavours are quite mild compared to yours, I found out when I visited the US. In the north of England, they eat meat and potato pie (very nice on its own, but then they put beetroot and mushy peas with it) each region has its own speciality which is weird to outsider. Jeez us Scot’s have the worst - HAGGIS 🤢 the only time I’ve ever been able to eat a tiny wee bit, is when it was coated in a whiskey and butter sauce. What about gingerbread? Do you guys have gingerbread (cake)? Again the north of England, Lake District (Grasmere to be precise) is best known for this. Hobnobs? With or without chocolate. It’s an oat biscuit, best with a cup of tea or coffee. Hot Heinz baked beans on toast, with brown sauce 😋 it’s a perfect winter evening quick fix dinner if you can’t be bothered cooking. Must be Heinz baked beans though, they are very different to your baked beans. I’m sure loads of suggestions including what I have suggested will have already come to you. Our regional foods are either steeped in history and may be modern dishes in primitive form or created they may have been created out of necessity, ie rationing after wwII. On top of that all our individual palettes are different. Everybody is different. You can’t help liking what you like and not liking what you don’t. ❤ yet another great video, thanks guys. 😘

Artifical sweetners is not good for you as they are chemicals but neither is too much sugar, over time it can take a toll on the body's natural insulin, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, also obesity and heart disease, so neither options are that healthy tbh, artificial colors and flavors are chemicals also and are not good. if only these type of drinks had just natural sugar and flavor from fruits without more being added, might not be as sweet but would be better for you imo.

Wagonwheels are the british poster child for shrinkflation where over the years rather than increase the price the manufacturer shrinks the product. They were much bigger in the past.

Morning ladies, no disrespect at all, we all need a laugh and giggle at the moment, so Thankyou xx Where sausage rolls are concerned everyone raves about a Greg’s sausage rolls here, Greg’s is a nation wide sausage roll shop that have very recently branched out into a clothing line in a clothes store, hats, T-shirts bags etc, so funny 🤣 I’ve not had a pot noodle in years, never really a massive fan, but I had naked noodles recently and they were pretty good. Ahhh, don’t get me started on Monster munch🤣, the crisps were huge when I was little now they are tiny in a massive bag! Yes, pickled onion 😳😳 beef ones are good to try! What a fun video, thankyou ladies! Xx

My dad worked for KP in the UK who invented Prawn Cocktail crisps, he once came home with a silver bag of crisps and a questionnaire asking what flavour they were. One was Prawn Cocktail, one was Lobster Thermidor and I can’t remember the third. I chose the second even though I’d never had it.

There’s two forms of Tayto - from the south and the North. Both are the same company but both use different recipes. The one in particular you tried is from Tayto Castle in Tandragee, Northern Ireland. So on a technicality these are British crisps from Northern Ireland 😊

Wagon wheels were literally the size of real wagon wheels. When I was a kid. More like skateboard wheels, now. Most chocolate (candy) bars have shrunk over the years.

I noticed since living in Canada how much more sugar and salt they use. Living in the UK these have been drastically reduced and I can really taste the difference. I make a point of checking sodium and salt levels now before I buy anything here. Enjoyed watching your video girls, interesting how our taste buds differ.

You should probably see if you can find the peanut butter flavoured KitKat Chunky. The Chunky versions are like a single KitKat finger increased in size to a full-sized candy bar. There is a layer of peanut butter on top of the wafer.

Every time I start watching videos about Her majesty I start tearing up. they are all beautiful. This is a welcome distraction from the sad news for the Royals, UK and the whole of the Common Wealth. No offence can be taken.

I work in the British food manufacturing industry. Top tips on sweeteners: avoid aspartame and don't give it to kids, you're better off giving them the sugar version. Sucralose is a natural sweetener made from fructose, go with that instead.

No disrespect at all! Keep Calm and Carry On. Yes we've had a hammer blow but life goes on. ☺❤👍
