Two Brits Go To The BIGGEST Mall In The USA | Wahlburgers, Auntie Anne’s and More!!

[@fredtirbo4411]

So ,how lovely is Minnesota? A true less known gem. 💎

[@thebritstry]

Minnesota was beautiful! we managed to visit a few of the lakes to take a walk!! we would definitely go back for longer in the future..

That Christmas store is actually a permanent store, all year round you can buy Christmas things.

It's amazing!! but some people are well organized that they don't leave it till the last minute like me!!😂

[@grantmourning189]

I live 40 minutes away and it still feels like a treat shopping there after 30 years. Serious tip for first timers. If you go there and can't find parking just keep driving up to the top as soon as possible. It's so crazy at christmas/black friday times. I go 2 or 3 times a year.

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

I must take it for granted. My credit union is 2 blocks from there and I usually only go there once a year on average. Southdale still feels more like home, although I live slightly closer to the MOA.

[@vettesfan]

I have grown up and lived in Minnesota my whole life. Welcome to our beautiful state and I have enjoyed both the MOA and State Fair videos. Definitely regular ice cream over dipping dots.

L.L. Bean is an sort-of-upscale outdoor clothing store. Have you had See's candy? That would be a fun thing for you to try, and you wouldn't even have to travel. There are See's stores in San Diego, where you live. Boxes of See's make nice gifts, BTW. That was a conching machine in the window of the Lindt store. Conching is a process where they slosh the molten chocolate back and forth, which reduces the particle size to make it smooth. Lindt chocolate is always very smooth, never grainy. A midwestern thunderstorm is like an object that floats by. You look up in the sky and see this *thing* approaching. It can be surrounded by sunshine while it's pouring rain underneath the clouds. The waitress at Wahlburgers was great, wasn't she? Friendly, helpful, good-natured. I wish all servers were that good.

[@tejida815]

See’s peanut brittle is the BEST. I love their chocolate Easter Bunnies 🐰

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the suggestion!! we will look out for a see candies near San Diego!!

[@alixaugustine9599]

Mall walking is the thing across all of America. I worked at an Express in the mall for a few years and there were always a few people walking the mall when I’d go to open the store at 9 AM on the weekends. Easy to get steps in, things to see, never have to deal with weather issues, no hills. Makes sense to me!

[@thebritstry]

Your so right!! flat and safe from bad weather, plus lots of treats if you need a sudden energy lift😉😉

[@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle]

@@thebritstry Alot of elderly people walk malls. It's probably a safe place in case they are worried about safety or falling.

[@jilbertb]

I believe they open the mall at 8am for walkers. It's NOT a very safe place after the hoodlums wake up, unfortunately.

[@spood87839]

They should serve a Dirk Diggler hot dog at Walhburgers as a secret menu item.

Government cheese was a type of cheese distributed to low-income Americans at no cost through the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program. The program was in place during a time of volatile milk production in the 1980s recession. But this processed cheese was used in military kitchens during World War II and has been used in schools since the 1950s.

[@thelunatick1993]

It was done because there was an over production of milk. (Due to dairy price support structure). Ended with the dairy buyout program. Before top dairy producing states bordered Great Lakes.

LL Bean is a clothing store specializing in outdoor clothing and recreational equipment. They have some really nice clothing. My winter coat is from LL Bean and some of my favorite turtlenecks I ever bought for layering in winter were LL Bean. I love frozen yogurt more than regular ice cream. Auntie Anne's pretzels...YES! The cinnamon sugar is always my 1st choice!

[@thebritstry]

I totally agree! LL Bean has some fantastic clothing for the outdoors. Those turtlenecks are perfect for layering during winter, and Auntie Anne's pretzels are the ultimate snack!

I loved the thunderstorm story. Minnesota thunderstorms are truly something else. It'll sound strange, but I miss them. The thunderstorms we get here in Arizona are nothing like the ones back in Minnesota. Mall of America truly is a man-made wonder and I am always overwhelmed whenever I go there. It has been years since I was there, but every time I return to my home state, I always make sure to stop by MOA. Glad to see you guys making the most of your time there. Hopefully you'll get the chance to try some local restaurants there. Also, hope you get to try the Minnesota famous Juicy Lucy.

[@thebritstry]

The thunderstorm was scary to us, as we have not really experienced anything like that. We did get to try some local restaurants and we will be releasing that video soon!🤗

[@actadiurna6733]

@@thebritstry Since you said the sky was clear just before the storm erupted, that's what we call a "popcorn thunderstorm", which is very common in Minnesota. If you watch weather radar you can see them suddenly popping up out of nothing, then evaporating, then another one pops up a few miles away, and so on for hours.

[@asmradventureasmr]

I hope you got to try a Juicy Lucy burger while up there & Lady Za Pizza. A good old-fashioned Friday fish fry is a thing to do too. Also, lefsa & cheese 🧀 curds are excellent up there 😋

[@betsyduane3461]

Cheese curds are a by-product of the cheesemaking process, and are made from young cheddar cheese that hasn't been aged, never mozzarella. Not sure what they are serving. Cheese curds are made from fresh pasteurized milk to which cheese culture and rennet are added. After the milk curdles it is then cut into cubes; the result is a mixture of whey and curd. This mixture is then cooked and pressed to release the whey from the curd, creating the final product.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the detailed explanation! It’s always great to see fellow cheese enthusiasts sharing knowledge about the cheesemaking process. Thanks for watching

[@tracerr00]

Thank you!! When the server said that cheese curds are mozzarella I was like nooo! They are actually cheese curds and your explanation was spot on. Better than mozzarella!

[@karijohnson2284]

If a storm is coming, it's usually best to stay where you are at if you are sheltered and can't make it home before it hits. And when the storm passes you could easily have blue sky again in minutes!

So, you two got to try two new treats with little balls. Dippin' Dots and Boba. The balls in the Boba are tapioca. It's a SE Asian drink. A bit of background on the phrase, "Government Cheese," back in the day if your family needed financial aid to get through the month, you got what they called "food stamps," which were gov backed coupons in different denominations like paper currency that you exchanged at the shops for food, or other home essentials. They also gave out gov packaged food stuffs like powdered milk and huge blocks of Cheddar cheese. That's where the term comes from. MOA fun fact: Even on the coldest winter days, the mall doesn't spend any money on heating. There's so much body heat from people walking around that it actually keeps the place warm heated. They just regulate the temps with the use of retractable sun rooves.

[@masudashizue777]

We used to wait till after Thanksgiving (end of November) to start thinking of Christmas.

[@joecampbell2496]

I just started your video but I'm wondering how much American food is going to dominate your conversations back in the UK. I hope that you make a few grilled cheeses and tomato soup for your friends or family. I love LL Bean by the way. They've been in business for something like 100 years and their sportwear and gear holds up for 20-30 years. I have jackets older than my son. Oops, guess I shouldn't admit that from a fashion standpoint, but it holds up. I hope that you'll have a wonderful trip and congratulations to the bridge and groom. Sounds like a fun reunion.

For those who don't know, the Mall of America and its surrounding parking areas used to be the land occupied by not one, but TWO professional league sports stadiums; the Metropolitan Stadium, where I attended many a knothole game as a child to cheer on the Minnesota Twins baseball team, and the Metropolitan Sports Center, home to Minnesota hockey when our team was the North Stars. Imagine the footprint of two London Stadiums with all their parking and parklands and shops, padded out a bit because this is America and we've got the space to do it. That's how big it is.

Government Cheese is cheese made for shelf life like Velveeta. It's called government cheese because it's made from surplus milk that the government paid more than market price to stabilize milk prices so dairy farmers wouldn't loose money. The cheese was then given away to people on government assistance. The Wahlberg's had a lot of kids and low income. They were on government assistance for a while and probably received "government cheese".

I watched someone make dippin dots from scratch. They basically drip ice cream base into liquid nitrogen so they create the little dots, and they have to keep it extremely cold so the dots stay separate.

[@thebritstry]

We didn't know that!! thanks for the information..

Thunderstorms in the great plains are impressive. I was trying to think of the best wedding gift I had ever seen was a music box playing one of those schmaltzy wedding songs (We've Only Just Begun? Maybe). Maybe the best reaction I have ever seen. Pricy gift though.

[@thebritstry]

Great idea!!! thanks for the advice.. Those thuderstorms were spectacular and scary all in one. Thanks for watching

I haven't been there for many years. Went to a Tony Romas ribs after a going to a Vikings game. Great ribs. A while later, my friend decided to rent a plane, and fly to Colorado. Darn if the Tony Roma's ribs were so good there also.

[@thebritstry]

Very cool!! We wish we had a friend who could rent a PJ! Thanks for watching

Ugh! You guys!! Pro tip #2: as the bacon falls off the wontons, after you bite, dip cream cheese exposed into the fallen bacon. Grabs it right up. Or, simply dip into the chipotle sauce as a sticking agent, and sprinkle the bacon atop again, it’ll stick. And if they weren’t drizzled (lightly) with maple syrup, then they aren’t as good as they could possibly be. Love those wontons with red southwest flavors!!

[@thebritstry]

Great tip! thanks for the advice!! the wontons were delicious..

[@djz1986]

I love their jalapeño bacon wantons. It's a thing I always order

[@thebritstry]

Cheese curds are a very regional thing. You should enjoy them while you’re there.

I think a lot of burger sauces have ketchup, mayo and some Worcestershire sauce. And sometimes dill pickles.

Minnesota alerts all sorts of wheather. As you can imagine, it's like everywhere else, wheather can be dangerous here.

[@thebritstry]

Absolutely! Weather can be unpredictable anywhere, but in Minnesota, it definitely kept us on our toes.

Some low income families grew up on government cheese. Wahlburgers restaurants use it on their burgers. I think theres a few other chain restaurants also use it for nostalgic flavor. The debate...Auntie M's or Wetzels Pretzels? Their menus are almost identical.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for the information! We will have to give wetzels pretzels a try!

[@Linda-y9h]

I worked at MOA for 5 years my favorite time was after store close when the mall was silent. Thats when the mice come out. Under the mall is very cool as well. Cool place for the most part, sometimes it gets a little crazy. Other than that, you guys didn't visit the aquarium.

[@thebritstry]

It's awesome to hear about your experiences at MOA! Those after-hours moments must have been quite unique. And yes, the aquarium definitely deserves a visit next time!

Microbiologist Curt Jones invented the beaded ice cream concept in 1988 when he used his knowledge of cryogenic technology and his love for ice cream to create Dippin’ Dots, which has since been America’s number one beaded ice cream brand. Through innovation and imagination, Dippin’ Dots redefined ice cream. From the first bite of unexpected flavor, Dippin’ Dots creates an experience that is remarkably fun and unforgettable. Popularity grew and in the early 90's Dippin' Dots became the pre-teen image of fun with friends at malls and amusement parks across the country. And in 1995 Dippin' Dots made its international debut in Japan, where fans of American culture would fall in love with the Ice Cream of the Future. An icon at amusement parks and stadiums, Dippin’ Dots is served in nearly every major theme park and in more than two thirds of all baseball stadiums in the U.S., not to mention local water parks, amusement parks and attractions. And Dippin’ Dots isn’t just a treat, it’s an experience. When planning their visit, park guests won’t skip out on their favorite ride, and a cup (or two…or three) of their favorite flavor of Dippin’ Dots.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for sharing such a detailed comment! It’s amazing how Curt Jones combined his passion and knowledge to create something so iconic. Dippin’ Dots really does bring joy to so many!
