British Guy Tries American Snacks...in actual USA!
Рет қаралды 83,497
Күн бұрынToday I’m not in my usual kitchen, I’m in ACTUAL America! While I was on holiday, I took the chance to scope out the snacks in a real American supermarket for an American snacks taste test. This is filmed using my phone balanced on bananas and a kitchen towel holder!

I'd love to see you try more of our belly expanding snacks...problem with suggestions is that I don't know what's available in the UK as well as the US (my favorite snack right now is Chicken in a Bisket crackers...my daughter bought me some Angie's Boom Chicken Pop [dark chocolate drizzled kettle corn] which I'm loving too). I'm surprised you liked the Twix...as a long time buyer of chocolate items from a British store in Plymouth MA I know your chocolate is waaaay more tastier than ours...though that dark chocolate drizzled kettle corn is delicious.

Idk if it's something you WANT to try or not, but Spam is MUCH better if you slice and fry it. Flavor gets a bit milder and the texture improves drastically. Goes great on a sandwich. Also tastes great if you cube it up, fry it, and add it to scrambled eggs.

I don't know where you shop, but I saw All of these items at my local Walmart just 2 days ago, and most are actually pretty new. The Spam has been out for a long time, but the others are mostly new flavors. They aren't the most common versions but he's already eaten a lot of American foods so trying some new novelty flavors of standard brands makes sense.

I guess I’m wrong about it then. I did see the vanilla spice cheerios on discontinued shelf and I have never seen any of the other varieties at my Walmart. Must be a regional thing- that’s interesting! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to consider that next time@@BlueRoseFaery
