Note: That's not rice in the American breakfast burritos. Those are hash browns lol

[@1985toyotacamry]

Yeah I had it its hash brown patty in it not rice.

[@redeye1016]

If he can’t tell the difference they can’t be great hash browns!

[@kaimorris2970]

I love how far harry has come, the early episodes he got rinsed for being boring but now i love him and joe equally

[@lukeherczog2895]

Idk why but I started of preferring Harry but now joe and Harry are equal

[@badlydrawnfox113]

Harry and Joe are literally the best kind of ying and yang! I could happily watch a whole series of just the two of them exploring different foods.

[@protector22222]

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that over the seasons we've been given a lot of other people other than Joe as well as from the other countries. And some of them are very bland. Specifically the people that replace Joe. Now the most recent one the woman I actually like but a lot of the other ones are so bland that actually made watching some of the episodes hard because they lacked personality. So when Harry comes back after we've seen somebody else we love him

[@erinfuller5542]

You guys should do a foreign exchange of UK Christmas dinner and US thanksgiving!! I would love to see that

Why wouldn’t it just be Christmas v Christmas?

ive heard whopper as related to big but not an idiot

[@leeknight4339]

The reason the Chocolate Oreo shake doesn't taste correct is because the shakes are made with Hershey's chocolate syrup. Oreo is owned by Mondelez, not Hershey. The cookie bits in both the regular and the chocolate Oreo shakes are made with Oreo cookie bits which come in a blue bag and get a 10 day hold time. I used to be a manager at a Burger King. From my point of view, Burger King is not competitive with its shakes, but unfortunately the Taylor shake/soft serve machines can be a pain to deal with so I think there is a costly issue with that; they'd rather keep things simple and as inexpensive on their end as possible.

[@PapagenoMF]

Sorry, I prefer Hershey's. I like the slightly bitter flavor to it.

[@leeknight4339]

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Hershey's chocolate syrup does not have a bitter taste, but it is overwhelmingly sweet and artificial tasting; it tastes like fake chocolate.@@PapagenoMF

[@talinkupelian5227]

Amazing video editing skills! Great job Katya Kupelian!!!

[@wixmagic14]

A lot of the things that aren't on the uk menu you can get by asking, eg the triple whopper, you can actually add as many patties to burgers as you like. Had to make a bacon double xl with 10 patties once. Also a lot of the things the american bk has are things we used to have but got discontinued like the oreo shakes

[@spitz5183]

Yeah, the whopper jr and triple whopper used to be on the menu on the UK, but were removed. The bacon king they removed twice for some bizarre reason. They even used to sell the double quarter pounder at one point.

[@Deborah-so8mv]

Secret menu…

[@ewansmith4610]

PLEASE NOTE: Funnily enough I work in Burgerking in UK as a store manager and love your videos. We do in-fact sell the whopper Jr and triple whopper on our menus in store but not around drive thru. It’s a weird company idea ! Thought I’d let you know : )

[@samuel-wankenobi]

Weird I don't see why that would make any sense

We do sell them in the drive thru??? In Scotland

I'm loving this foreign exchange series next it's going to be the US exchanging with Japan than India. It's going to be amazing I want to try these other countries but damn I would have to go across the pond to do that lol

He gotta try the teriyaki McBurger,it’s heaven in a nutshell.probably the best burger at all of the world’s McDonald’s.

[@Minorskillissue]

Show the UK some love let them do the exchange, anyways they did have the buggest empire.

The 'Pond' is vernacular for the Atlantic. You would have to go across the Pacific to try Japanese and Indian food.

A whopper with cheese is simply great, love the flame grilled taste. I still like a chicken royale over McDonalds chicken burgers etc. I loved the Spicy Beanburger, ahead of it's time. Also, they did do jalapeno poppers for a while years back, they were like crack when I worked there....PS their mini hash browns for breakfast were just as good also!!

[@agenda2175]

You’re a whopper 😂

[@debbee0867]

I prefer the Chicken Royale as well, but they've been adding way too much mayo recently. No idea why they have changed it.

Burger King UK until the late 90's used to do a spicy bean burger and it was my favourite burger, used to order it all the time and I kinda miss it. I love a triple whopper, my order is always triple whopper with cheese, 2xheavy cheese and no onions. The chilli cheese bites rock :)

[@rubybuttons668]

They did the spicy bean burger up until the 2010’s. I was disappointed when they got rid of it too, being a vegetarian. Their plant Whopper is pretty good though as far as fake meat goes.

[@paulpivaral4832]

They need to bring Harry to Texas so he can get to know some good Texas BBQ/Tex-Mex food

[@RETR0JOE]

If i remember correctly the "Rodeo" burger was marketing tie-in for the movie "Wild Wild West" (starring Will Smith) which was released in the 90s... Well that was a the case with the UK anyway. The Rodeo was my go to burger in the UK. I Didnt even know they changed the name.

[@usedfuzzbox]

Damn, I just Googled the Burger King's Mushroom Double Swiss, and it was discontinued 20 years ago?? Miss that bad boy....

[@jeepmega629]

I really like seeing the difference in food culture in different countries

[@frankieAudio]

Well, it´s NOT about the difference at food culture, it´s about international food chains ripping a customer off in a way he used to know :)

this is lovely

[@gisuspm2666]

In BK Venezuela we have a burguer called RODEO STACKER, which have onion rings, bacon, meat and stacker sauce, AND IT SLAPS. One of my favorite burguers of all time

[@jamesfry8983]

The rodeo burger used to be a long burger in the uk, not been to BK in about 5 years now so must of changed stuff.

[@GenXBecks]

I used to get croissnwiches at the BK near Holborn Station. So, I know they very recently used to be available in the UK.

[@christopherwellman2364]

Those are the best, but the calorie count is off the chart. A double croissandwich is 2400 calories!

Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL has been my go to burger for years now, but in a shock twist the Covid pandemic forced my local restaurant to close and it hasn't reopened 😭😭😭😭 I am still super bummed about that.

[@Baseds_Backup_Account]

Had BK like two weeks ago now and I'll be having em again soon cause of this.

[@Sandywarhol645]

I just ate the BK Spicy Butter Chicken sandwich. It was lacking in sauce and dry, but still had flavour and a nice little kick

[@Tintzie]

we need to get some episodes with german vs Usa would be huge i think its gonna be really different between those two countrys

[@SteveODonnell]

French toast is very much a UK thing. Most cafes and breakfast places sell it. You can get it sweet or savoury. When I make it at home in Glasgow I have it sweet but my wife prefers it savoury. So without any sugar or syrup.

[@Kjfletcher1985]

I've never seen it in England. Which part of the UK in particular? Is it a Scottish thing?

[@Joker-yw9hl]

​@Kjfletcher1985 had it quite often growing up in Wales. Assumed it was a UK-wide thing but it may be more common in some areas. I had mine savoury

[@SteveODonnell]

@Kjfletcher1985 it's definitely all over UK. Some people might call it eggs bread rather than making it the proper sweet way.

[@frederickmoller]

I never had sweet French Toast, and will 'never' eat it either, savory is the only way that I will eat it. Btw, I make at at home.

[@SteveODonnell]

@frederickmoller I used to only have savoury but when making at home I only add a little sugar to the egg mix. Helps the french toast get crunchier.

[@ShiivaWilding]

I don't know where they went for these, but we have the rodeo burger in the UK. Or at my local in Lincoln at the very least.

[@yuukasenseii]

Spot on with renaming the junior to Prince, makes sense.

[@WillWatches]

I really hope you do a Five Guys swap, so the UK bacon can be redeemed, although idk how much would be different apart from the milkshakes

[@joshchan2642]

Sure thing,cause what’s the point of consuming bacon if it’s wet and not crispy?

[@debbee0867]

I never choose bacon in my takeaway burgers. They don't look appetising or taste great. It should be crispy bacon.

[@redangel833]

I assume their Texas whopper is suppose to be their version of a Whataburger which is burger chain in Texas.

[@dellzincht]

We used to have the Whopper Jr. in the UK!

[@ron.jordan]

Oreo Cookie Shake is the best fast food milkshake you can get at a place that doesn’t specialize in shakes and that’s not named Culver’s

Looks like the Peckham BK at the end of the vid!

[@danielguy173]

When I worked in bk tripple and jnr whoopers were available in the UK

[@randytessman6750]

Triple Whopper is my go to but I always open it up and put a patty on top and get a gravy to dip it in....mmmh ! Now I dont get fries or pop beacuse that is a lot of food just the burger & gravy :)

[@joshchan2642]

20:59 the bald eagle screams how important sugar is inferior to high fructose corn syrup!let’s go HFCS!

[@sian2337]

Chicken Royale with cheese is my favourite, however every so often you do get a crap one that is almost like eating mayo doused cardboard. I find you get better food if you go in and buy it at the counter, rather than having it delivered, or going round the drive-through . Our bk fries are terrible, always so dry. I used to be able to get a meal and swap chips for onion rings, but I think they’ve stopped it now. 0:30 😊

[@aprils.]

Re Texas burger: Yes. I was born and have lived in TX my entire life. As a region, we tend to put mustard on our burgers. Also, although we are rightfully known for our barbecue, it’s less sauced and more dry rubbed. The dipping condiment known as barbecue sauce is not really our thing.

[@iraelliott1191]

Joe not liking pickles is so wrong.

[@iraelliott1191]

Also, Harry, tell all of your british friends to stop comparing biscuits to scones, you always say "Oh It'S LiKe A sCoNe, BuT iT's NOT"

I go back on occasion to test as was my favourite then to. It has been improving again and last couple times was quite good. Still not as good as they where but I haven't had that cold unmelted added cheese got for awhile lately.

I feel like they don’t do very good research for these things. Whopper junior is on the UK menu. Also some BK places do the triple whopper as part of the menu. You can get them anywhere by asking but I’ve seen it as standard in some places.

[@AbsoluteWoo]

[@CreighExbridge]

We used to have a 'long' rodeo burger in the UK. It was the same as the American one but in the shape of a Chicken Royale. I don't know why they dropped it.

[@spitz5183]

They dropped a lot of things, sadly. For example, the Big King XL, Whopper Jr., and the Bacon King.

[@ShawnC.W-King]

I wonder if its because of "shrinkflation" because I remember when the "Eggnormous" Burrito came out, that thing was MASSIVE.. now its this tiny pauktry thing that will barely fill you up. And yes, their hash browns and fries used to taste better, now they taste of old grease, disappointment and sadness.😮
