Ye ken whit America is missin' that makes them so bloomin' stressed? A bloody sausage. Aye. A said it. A sausage will help America. Also true story it is currently 19:18pm and I am still not hungry thats how much I ate LOL!

[@snodrog5]

I'll trade you all our Taco Bells for one Greggs! I'm pretty tired of flying 3000 miles for bacon and cheese wrap!

[@AshleyFD26]

I live in Alabama and the only Scottish food I can find is Walker cookies. Which I LOVE. I would love to try real Scottish foods.

[@ChaosWolf1982]

The closest thing I’ve had to a sausage roll here in America was a thing that labeled “sausage roll” but was, far as I could tell, just a hotdog stuffed into a bit of bread, that I’d gotten out of a refrigerated vending machine at work and had to pop it in the microwave for a bit to warm up enough to eat. Very disappointing. Half the reason I’d love to visit the UK someday is to try the food; I considered online ordering once, but import fees are murder for anything more than a few ounces… on one site, I put in my cart just a few things - a 6-pack of Irn Bru, a 2L of Lilt, a bag of Mackie’s, some Walker’s shortbread, and a box of Yorkshire tea (to go with the shortbread), and the final cost was about $35, with shipping being twice as much as the order! Insane! If not for the fact a friend in Blackpool was able to get at least some of it from her local shop and mail it herself, I’d never have gotten to try anything at all! (By far you folks have the superior chocolate and jam and such - I fell in love with Tunnock’s teacakes and lemon curd on toast and making sandwiches from sharp cheddar and Branston Pickle, but I still haven’t gotten to try Irn Bru, dammit!)

Girl, if you feel like you can justify the means and trouble to go get a taco or a crunchwrap supreme, we will watch it! And yes i would give anything for a Gregg's to come to America. But more than that, i know the majority of us want Universal Healthcare. We envy that so much here. ❤

[@stewartlawrie3295]

i agree i live in the USA now but was born and raised in Scotland and thats what some people dont understand about about the health care system in the UK if it came over here the insurance companies would be out of business no need for them with universal healthcare because it would be government run the way it works is the government takes some money out your pay every week and it pays for doctor visits hospital stays and in Scotland all prescription drugs are free makes sense to me lol

[@robertcampopiano6001]

We have inspections in New Jersey, but they’re free and if you don’t pass, you have 30 days to get it fixed and reinspected. As far as the ingredients in haggis, the use of lungs is banned due to the possibility of contamination during the slaughtering process that can possibly cause food borne illness.

[@catchyname5403]

Free inspection!! I’m jelly here in Cali we have what’s called a smog check but we have to pay for it. Also I believe sheep lungs are banned because of the chance of contracting tuberculosis. I’d really like to try haggis though I won’t even bother trying the “fake” one we have available.

[@MichelleNyxRaymond]

As a fellow NJ individual, can confirm.

It is only the Lungs that we can't eat. Everything else is good to go. STAY AWAY FRIM TACO BELL! It goes in just fine, comes out at Mach 1. Also If you're ready for it, too bad it's a com'n & it's not a wait'n!

In America in some states we have what they call state inspection. Where either approved garages or state facilities inspect your car to make sure it is safe. BUT if it fails, you get your car back and still drive it. If it passes you get a sticker on the windshield to show it passed. If you are driving without the stickers you an be pulled over and ticketed. Taco Bell is decent. But not a authentic in any way shape or form. We have greggs here in PA, but it’s a furniture store. LoL 😂

[@tmurrin1979]

Here in the States I love to stop at World Market (I know there's other similar stores too) from time to time. While it's not a comprehensive selection, they do seem to have a decent variety of imported food, drinks, and snacks from all over! I think it's really cool that you can go in and try things from different countries and get a taste of other cultures!

[@aliwantizu]

FWIW, Taco Bell has "Americanized" tacos, burritos, and such. Traditional tacos are very very different. It's fine, but it's not great. It's just relatively cheap and quick. If you do go, I hope you get a bunch of stuff and then do a mukbang food review, lol! Loch Sloy! ~Be Blessed

[@azulluna1432]

If you eat Taco Bell just know it is an extremely American interpretation of mexican food. My whole life growing up in America I have never seen any Mexican or Mexican American eat from Taco Bell. It's the place potheads and drunks go to eat. Just giving you a heads up

[@mikehermen3036]

And I see Mexicans in mine almost every time despite having formal Mexican restaurants, neighborhood style ones and even taco trucks around. Taco Bell is cheap, it's familiar and it isn't bad.

@@mikehermen3036 your honestly from a different state or County from myself. If you like Taco Bell do you boo boo. I live in New York and most Hispanics do not mess with it. The Dollar Pizza is safer to eat. The only Latinos I've seen in Taco Bell are caribbean-american Hispanics.

[@aliwantizu]

There is a Scottish Bakery not too far from me called Ackroyd's, and they make homemade Sausage Rolls, Bridies, Meat Pies, Pasties (which are hugely popular here in Michigan, they're kind of like a meat pie but also include veggies,) pork pies, Shepherd's Pies, breakfast pies, and more. So yep, I'm familiar with the sausage rolls and they need to be more common. Some convenience stores carry sausages in pastry coverings, but they aren't quite the same thing...they're like a poor version of the sausage roll. We also got some snow the past 2 days, so I feel your pain cleaning off the car. Thanks for this! Loch Sloy! ~Be Blessed

In southwest Louisiana (USA) in areas populated by Cajun people ( descendants of Nova Scotia French Acadians who were expelled by the British and whose families resettled In Louisiana). there are a few local butchers that produce a sort of black pudding in a sausage casing - and a version without the blood is available all over . It’s called Boudin [BOO-Daa] it’s made with seasoned ground pork and rice.. Another less common item is a cooked pig stomach stuffed with seasoned ground pork( traditionally made with offal) , trussed and baked- that one is called Stuffed Chaudin or Ponce.

[@johnnycucumber]

We do car inspection every other year in Missouri. There is *always* something that needs fixed, usually for about $750. I used to get mine inspected at Wal-Mart, and never had anything to fix. Probably because they only did tires and oil changes.

We have square sausage. We also have a British pub here in Salem, OR. that serves a sausage roll, mushy peas, meat pies and all that. I can find so many British treats at a place we have called The World Market. Also, haggis is not illegal here. It's just illegal to import haggis into the US from the UK. We can make it here.

Every time I visit my mom's family in the UK, I *always* go by Greggs to get a bunch of those Sausage Rolls. They taste like absolute heaven too~ Good on you, Mosco; thanks for the reminder~

[@wickideazy]

MOT: we have them. Our cars have to pass a road safety inspection once a year. Rules for passing inspection vary from state to state but here in MA, they check the safety equipment (lights, turn signals, horn, seat belts, etc.) check under the car for rust and/or damage, and if your car is newer than 15 years old, it has to pass an emissions test. If the car is 15 years old or older, it no longer has to pass the emissions test. The inspection and sticker costs $37; if there's anything wrong, they slap a "REJECTION" sticker on your car and you have X number of days to get it fixed and re-inspected. You can get it fixed however you want, at whatever garage you want, or fix it yourself, as long as it gets fixed so the car will pass inspection it's fine. And I want those shortbread bites. I want them right now. Nay, I NEED THEM.

[@davidblum7125]

Yup, if I can’t find a sausage roll here, I’m going to have to make them. I needed to hear the crisp of the crust because I couldn’t tell the texture of the roll. Taco Bell in the states is the one a.m. bars are closing and I’m hungry food. Try it once just for the experience. Great video.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

In the US, we're very fond of holding what _we_ take for haggis in low regard, and we use this to contribute to this stereotype we tend to have of Scotland as a land of uncultured brutes who universally wear plaid kilts and play bagpipes. We tend to grow fond of this image and I suspect, deep down, it makes us resistant to the notion that the _actual_ ingredients of haggis are _illegal_ here.

[@cs5384]

Well it's banned because sheep's lung can carry a LOT of bacteria and it would be required to inspect every shipment according to the FDA. We ban a lot of stuff here, but most countries ban something. At least they're not so addled they ban any GMO food like soybeans in half of Europe thanks to fearmongering. From what I've heard Canada just recently lifted their ban on offal too. We have haggis here without that one ingredient that makes up less than 15% of the product. I can't imagine a food that is improved by adding a lung, but I guess to each their own!

[@Girlwatchingtheworld]

We in the US can get some Scottish brand goods through Amazon - like Irn Bru, Walkers Shortbread, even canned Haggis - not sure about the square sausage though.

[@terrycarter1137]

as a American i can agree with you on the food items even the hagis ingrediants , doesn't make sense when we have beverly breakfast sausage which has everything from nose to tail on a hog.

[@terrycarter1137]

@Jason Mistretta i find it curious that you can go to the store here in America and purchase Beverly breakfast sausage in a can that has literly everything from a pig's nose to a it's tail, but the FDA wants to ban real hagis because it contains lungs that may contain a pathagen.

4:50 if you liked the sausage roll, you would love kolaches ( Look up kolache factory and click on menu for visuals.). In Texas, kolaches are about 4 inches long, about an inch in circumference, and the varieties are: 1) baked with a sausage inside 2) add cheese to the sausage and 3) a jalapeno (spicy pepper) is next to the sausage and cheese. My mother's old recipe, make biscuit mix (flour, baking soda, milk and shortening) by hand and then wrap that around a prebaked sausage patty and bake. Kolaches are an excellent addition to a breakfast of scrambled eggs and fried potatoes. Look up kolache factory and click on menu for visuals.

I was in Glasgow and Edinburgh in October. Pretty sure there was supposed to also be a Taco Bell in Edinburgh not far off Princes Street. I scoped it out on a map in case of emergency, but my rule was, with the exception of trying out the breakfast roll (with brown sauce - it was so good!) at McDonald's, I wouldn't buy chain food I could get in the States. That also meant Nando's was right out for me. (I ended up eating a lot of "Meal Deals" - speaking of things the U.S. needs to adopt - from like Sainsburys Local and Tesco Express.) As for Taco Bell... you can try it, but it's not gonna change your life, I don't think. It's just okay. Like others have been saying, here it's considered post-partying drunk food. I got a burrito the night before I left from a Mexican* joint on Grassmarket, and it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't actually terrible. They were out of some ingredients and the "Mexican beans" weren't like any beans I've ever had in a burrito, but the flavors were pretty much there. *I got into Mexican food working with my bestie for her parents at the Mexican food court joint they ran at the local mall one summer in college. My bestie's dad is 1st generation Mexican American and her mum was from Prestwick. My bestie and I, when we get together, tend to default to seeking out non-chain authentic Mexican restaurants, because they truly usually are the best.

[@NightRaptor]

Not many U.K. chains have made it here that I'm aware. Greg's & Nando's are the most mentioned places from like U.K., Australia, South Africa... If they exist here, they are likely deep into NYC or LA or something not easily accessible or affordable for most. I'm not sure if Taco Bell will be any different over there. Good cheap Mexican-American style food. But it sounds like you need real authentic ethier homemade or full restaurant Mexican food.

I gotta say as a Canadian guy from North Hatley Montreal now living in the US I hear the universal healthcare thing a lot but a lot of people seem to think it means free healthcare but that isn't the case. The taxes in Canada are much higher than they are here in the United States for a reason. Maybe the quality of healthcare you get in the UK is better than it is in Canada I wouldn't know myself personally. But even in Canada people who pay for their own personal insurance are taken better care of than someone using the nationalized healthcare system. The waiting can sometimes be very long before you can see a doctor and even longer if you need a specialist. It's very romanticized but the reality of it is that is in inefficient and of lower quality at least in Canada.

Hey, we have sausage rolls in the States. Unfortunately the nearest pie shop to me that has them is about an hour away. Worth the trip because they also sell them frozen, so we stock up and fill up the freezer. That, and pasties, and chicken pies.

Me, an American, as soon as I read the title: Universal healthcare? We could sure use some of that.

[@WeeScottishLass]

I mean... I didn't want to state the obvious... like... ya know, healthcare, a healthy relationship with the C word and a decent sense of humour LOL!

[@tylerpaschall4363]

We definitely need Irnbru in America. I'm very curious about what it tastes like. We do have sausages wrapped in dough though. And pizza is like tits: Even the bad ones are still pretty good. And you ask about what kinds of shops and things have made it over here, but Scotland's impact on America runs much deeper than that. 2/3 of our founding fathers were Scottish. So many Scottish people settled in the South, we still have Highland festivals. Most of the ghost stories and legends in the South were heavily influenced by Scottish lore. You have kilts, bagpipes, and haggis. We have overalls, banjos, and chitlins. If you're asking which country has had the bigger impact on the other, you win in a landslide.

Greggs is champion for quick and delicious snacks. We don't have anything like them over here that's fit for human consumption. I'm also a great fan of Piemaker in Edinburgh but that's a one-off so it can't be compared. Taco Bell is shite! America is very fortunate to have many good authentic taquerias. In my little village here in California we have at least 10 for a population of 12000! I have a little insider trick for you at 5 Guys - take a small paper bag with you (or eat your burger and use the bag they gave you) and load it up with the peanuts to takeaway. They're perfectly fine with it as long as you're not trying to take a grocery bag full. Great snack for later while you're watching Naruto...

We've actually got quite a bit of UK stuff. But a lot of it is regional. I can buy Irn Bru at Publix (grocery) but haven't seen it outside of Florida & North Carolina. But people can also buy it on Amazon. We don't have Nandos, but I can get the peri peri hotsauce in the shops state side. We've also got bounty bars, aro bars, squash, hob nobs, Weetabix, Walker's shortbread. There are heaps more of items but off the top of my head, I'm blanking. But hey, I've just got home from work and I'm in need of tea 😂

[@Ithirahad]

Because Florida doesn't have the things at convenience stores and such for some goddamn reason, we end up getting our own puff pastry and sausages and everything, and putting together our own sausage rolls >.>

[@andrewlindsay3900]

Roundabouts, universal healthcare, and Gregg’s sausage rolls. Oh, and traffic cones on statues.

[@PJAvenger]

What a tiny wee bit of snow :) If I could post a photo here I'd show you a 40cm snowfall. Also you're in Scotland - not Britain! In Canada we have many shops that sell bakery fresh foods like steak and kidney pie and strawberry pastry sweets (I don't know the name but I've had them in Scotland). OH Tattie scones! Yum! Taco Bell is not really tacos - it's a fast food based on real tacos. After the pandemic - come to Canada!

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

I’m gonna head straight from the airport to Gregg’s

[@sherrifriedel9063]

We have Department of Transportation or DOT for short.

[@champagnesumo]

America needs WeeScottishLass

[@her30231]

Great Video!! I loved taking a trip with you and those sausage rolls looked great. Hope you can do more trips in the future! Btw, good tacos are amazing but Taco Bell isn’t worth the trip.

[@michaelschemlab]

Gregg’s is just a UK thing according to their Wikipedia article

[@garyd1125]

Love to listen to you my dear. I like all kinds of sausage. I would try everything. 😎😎

[@johnaustin2007]

What we need is a justice system that isn't broken

[@PS3GamingScotland]

Can't beat a Greggs lol. I try and get Greggs vouchers as much as I can. Also love Stephen's bakery as well. Great video! :)

[@navigator5426]

Deffinitely worth a watch. I have to say though with the exception of Greggs, Real Haggis and Millionaire's short bread, we in the States have better food as long as you avoid most of the fast food restaurants. It's not that the U.S.A is better than Brittain, it's just that we have more people from different cultures all over the world and we have more land to grow crops etc. One thing we do need is for you to continue making videos as long as you enjoy making them. Slainte.

[@Brusseldudes7180]

Taco bell is not worth the hype. Its just open after the bars close and its fairly cheap. Definitely dont make a trip just for it you will be disappointed.

[@richchie71]

Better politicians is all we need

[@dragonslayer19695]

We do need a Gregg's here, and a lot of other things too. Yes I would like to see a Taco Bell review from you.

[@3dartstudio007]

Just a personal favorite, but when I go to Taco Bell, you can order a 5 layer burrito without sour cream. Technically making it a 4 layer burrito, but I'm not a fan of cream that went bad so I don't want it on my food, but yea. You can ask for them to add or delete items from your order and they can to it.
