“Don’t insult our food” Minutes later... “AmEriCaN fOoD iS gRoSs i HaTe iT”

We do not choose Dennys, it chooses you. Usually this happens at 3 am when your drunken group faces judgement by the designated driver

Gets offended by someone making fun of their cuisine then go on to criticize American breakfast 😂

LOL - You never choose Denny's... you just sorta end up there...

You have a strange idea of what American’s usually eat for breakfast. Pancakes and waffles are something for a special breakfast, perhaps on Sundays. I usually eat cold cereal with milk, a banana, and a couple cups of coffee.

Savory breakfast is just as normal in America as sweet, if not more.

I had an British neighbor once, an older gentleman and I had three very young children. We often annoyed him apparently. I learned that the more polite he was, the angrier he was with me.

The rudeness you addressed is called passive aggression. We have turned it into an art form in the southern United States.

Jams, jellies, and preserves are all different things in the USA.

Spring time, allergies… Why is it that when the plants and trees have sex I am the one to get screwed

*Who's British here and is laughing, Knowing none of these are Actually accurate.* 😂😭

Wait, Joel is offended when someone says British food is bad, but in the same video Lia totally slams breakfast in the US, saying it disgusting and “I hate it”.

There's a difference between polite and nice. Nice is genuine of doing or saying something. Polite is basically adulting and trying not stir or start problems.

Jelly and Jam: Jelly is a fruit spread that has no pieces of fruit left in it. It's usually translucent and colored by the fruit it's derived from. e.g. grape jelly, mint jelly, cranberry jelly etc. Jam is a spread with the pieces of fruit (berry) still in it which is typically seen in strawberry jam. cherry jam, blueberry jam, raspberry jam etc. Preserves are similar. It implies there is a higher fruit ratio than filler and sugar. Marmalade names the spread reserved for the one with bits of citrus peel left in it. Orange marmalade for instance... can't think of another, I don't rule it out. The "jelly" you refer too, we call Gelatin. But most Americans casually refer to it as "Jello", even though it is just the brand name for a premixed and flavored preparation. Most likely it's because that company called "Jello" made it popular in our culture. not saying it's correct, but that is how our version of English has evolved.

Denny's is where you go when it's super late after the club and been drinking all night.

"I don't like tea" Having it said in that accent, to me, is something I never thought I would hear.

Try our omelets. Not everyone eats sweets for breakfast.

I do not know one person that eats pudding for breakfast.

1: Literally no one in the states thinks all British people know the queen. 2: Having cuisine from all over the world doesn't mean you know how to do it right. 3: We prefer not to have gas all day long while at work. Breakfast in America is typically bacon/sausage, eggs, hash browns. 4: Nobody likes waiting in line, but in the US we wouldn't throw her to the front... we would throw the person cutting out of the line. 5: Tea is irrelevant. 6: Agreed. Brits can be incredibly rude. 7: Goodbye or later should suffice in any civilized culture. You can throw in Farewell if you're trying to be overly dramatic. 8: Who the hell is Mary Berry? Better yet, what the hell is Mary Berry? 9: Saying "I'm fine" when you are anything but fine is universal. 10: Joel is quite correct, moist is perfectly acceptable for baked goods but nothing else.

Im English, im from England. i never call my self a “brit”. Whatever happened to being English.

You don’t go to Denny’s, you end up at Denny’s 😂

Random fact (3:31): In America, we call a canteen a cafeteria. We use "canteen" to describe the bottle that soldiers or campers keep their water in.

Lia: next time you go to America, go down south (primarily Texas). We do breakfast tacos and burritos probably more than anything! Basically just a tortilla with eggs, bacon/sausage/chorizo, cheese, salsa, onions/peppers, etc.

I had eight teas today I’m British and I Fricking love tea

Its NOT holiday in the US!! We call it a VACATION!!

Dennys is the place you go to when your drunk at 3am.🤣

Do you know I've noticed British people think all British people are impolite but other countries think were really posh and polite and famous for apologising

“I don’t like tea”... “well, fruit tea I love” ??? Americans don’t drink tea, we are more of coffee ppl, like your tea chart looks like our coffee chart.

Nope. There's a great different between jam & jelly

Concerning the first one, I think it's also rude when people suggest that you're genre, or cuisine of food, "isn't real food." Once someone asked me if I could cook. And I said "yeah, I know how to cook." And I explain to them the things I've cook before, Mexican food, and describing southern comfort food I've made. This person kinda gave me a weird look when I started to describe southern comfort food and said, "Oh, I don't consider that to be real food." I thought that was kinda rude. Not only was she insulting my cooking skills, but she insulted the cuisine of a whole culture!

Denny's serves eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast too. Just don't order pancakes. I rarely have waffles or pancakes. You can order what you like. Hence why they have menus.

7:16 I remember when they first opened IKEA after easing lockdown rules a bit, and there were reports of 5 mile long queues, and the BBC decided to open up with, “Us Brits, doing what we do best, queueing.”

I'm American and I rarely eat pancakes and waffles for breakfast. I usually have oatmeal and fruit, flavored with honey and cinnamon. Bagels and cream cheese, sometimes with a slice of salmon, are really popular in the Northeast or just among the Jewish population in general. Today, my mom and I are going to make a Sunday brunch that will probably include eggs, bacon, fruit, and the aforementioned bagels and cream cheese.

Do Americans question standing in line? Everywhere you go you stand in lines. Isn’t that the common practice? (MI✋🏼)

What you call going on holiday, we call going on vacation

Americans say “bye” in different ways : See ya Later, and variations of that.

Americans have a variety of options for breakfast - not just sweet foods: omelets, toast, hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, eggs over-easy, oatmeal, cottage cheese, or just plain yogurt and fruit. However, I've never seen anyone in the States eat pudding for breakfast.

I'm German and was in London for a year and even I get asked if I've seen the queen and get told the food is bad. It's not, british food is just normal food, even though some things are a little too oily for my taste. I also agree with the comment about people being polite and watched the GBBO as well, love Mary Berry *.*

He's cute even when he sneezes😊

The difference between jam and jelly . Jam is made with fruit pulp or crushed fruit. Jelly is made from the fruit juice only.

Breakfast in America is eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast. Maybe pancakes or waffles.

Nandos is a South African company serving Portuguese inspired food mainly Peri peri chicken, I wouldnt say it British.

Whoever said British Ppl are so nice must've never seen or heard Simon Cowell (still love him);)

Omg. I'm American, Just started talking to a British man and I came across you're channel and I love you guys , hilarious, everything is so true , thank you for the education 😘😘😘😘😘

Just found your channel yesterday and am hooked! Great content! 👍

I’ve been in London for a few months, and good food exists here, but it’s been weeks and I’m still offended by the “Mexican” food here 😂😂 idk what I was expecting, but that was NOT it! Pico isn’t just diced tomatoes!

About the food, I hold out hope that what’s easily available to tourists based in London isn’t representative of what most Brits eat. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend when I visited, and the food I found wasn’t BAD, it was just really bland. I’ve visited 23 countries and for each one there is a food I remember that I adore. Not so in England. But I enjoyed myself so much I’d love to give the food several more chances. ❤️

The sugary breakfast stuff is mostly for kids or for people in a hurry. Granola bars, pop tarts, cereal, donuts, etc. Pancakes and waffles are definitely popular as well. For most people who are going to sit down and eat a hot breakfast it will probably be toast with butter, sausage, hash browns, and eggs. Most of the people at the diner I work at order a full breakfast like that and maybe add or share pancakes. Also popular are omelettes and biscuits and gravy. So for a full sit down breakfast it will be mostly savory. I have personally never understood the sugar for breakfast thing. Sets up the day for failure imo.

When my wife says "I'm fine" I know I am in deep trouble

Most Americans hate the word moist too

"The Sovereign Grant was £42.8m, rising to £76m in 2017-18, with the increase earmarked for refurbishing Buckingham Palace. Royalists often point out that these costs represent only around £1 a year to every person in the UK. However, this does not include the security costs of looking after the family." Aha!! The cost of security are astronomical and also a state secret. Estimates range as high as £100,000,000/year including sizeable increases for the newest duchess. If 32million UK citizens actually work and pay enough taxes to cover the cost of the royals then cost per year is a lot more than 69p. Estimates range anywhere from £300 - £600.

When they mentioned Nandos, I was like "noooooo!" 😭. Being South African, that was hard to hear because it was born in South Africa. I just had yesterday even.

Lia, don't sweat over breakfast in the US. I personally detest a sweet breakfast. There are sausages, bacon, ham, home fries, hash browns, eggs, and, yes, toast with butter. There's nothing like a good toasted bagel with cream cheese. I'd love to try a Full English.

I feel that you mischaracterize American breakfast. I'd say that far more breakfasts include savory items and protein like eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, grits (in the south), plus fruit and avocado. People do have sweets like pancakes and waffles with syrup however, most people don't have time to fix that during the workweek, not to mention that you want to fall asleep about 10am after a breakfast like that! Families might have a routine of making them on the weekends for their kids. I can't argue that there are sweet cereals but there are plenty that are healthy options too. And as for beans, do your baked beans not have any sugar in them? In the US baked beans always have brown sugar or maple syrup or some such as some of the flavoring. I enjoy the British tradition of having beans, and also grilled tomatoes, for breakfast. And I like black beans with a fried egg on top for breakfast. But tell me this, if you call dessert "pudding", what do you call the dessert that we Americans call pudding?

Like queueing is polite and I always will follow it but like nobody likes queueing because we all want to get what we want fast.

A cuppa tea is the best

I get being annoyed by the first one. Asking Brits if they know they Queen is like asking Americans if they know the President. That would get annoying.

As a bona fide, life-long, never-been-anything-but American, I'm quite amused by all the comments from people saying "We don't have pudding for breakfast!" The failure to grasp that the definition of the word "pudding" is not being used the same way could be a whole video all by itself.

People normally wait in line in the US. The person who asked that would be considered rude in the US as well.

To the question of "why is the food so bad?" I have a partial answer. Cows in England are raised differently than cows in America. Typically, British cows are grass fed, which creates stringy meat with a weak or "gamey" taste, though it is supposed to be healthier. American beef is grain fed, which leads to a more marbled cut and a heartier, more buttery and "succulent" flavor. In addition, grain fed beef is more reliably tasty, while grass fed can be a shot in in the dark, due to the variety of things each cow may have chosen to consume.

I don’t know anyone that has pudding for breakfast over here in the US, Lia. That sounds awful. You don’t have to have pancakes or waffles, either. Granted, only a small amount of restaurants have vegan choices, though that’s improving, but sausage, ham, our type of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and the like are readily available.

Pancakes, waffles, and muffins aren’t typical for an American breakfast. We have it sometimes on a weekend but we also have eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, American biscuits with sausage gravy, oatmeal, yogurt with granola and fruit, grits, smoothies (with spinach, kale, apple and other super foods), etc.....

I actually met mary berry in person, i work in a small but fancy hotel in rome that has a terrace with incredible views and we were chosen by the bbc for her programme, not many italians know her but i did as i grew up in the uk so went to greet her, she was so sweet and kind and i mean it

Brunch is definitely a thing on Sundays...In most states I've lived in! A very social gathering and can run the gamut from savory breakfast foods (eggs, meats, hash browns/potatoes, avocado/veggie dishes, etc.) to the stereotypically sweet items (french toast, waffles, pancakes). But never have I seen pudding offered!! I will say ever since I told my mom about beans on toast, ages ago I might add, she has been trying to get me to make it for breakfast one day.

We have hash browns and buttered toast for breakfast in America! I am not a sweets fan for breakfast. I do love my biscuits and gravy. :)

My husband and I usually eat sugary cereal randomly when we're up late. Hardly ever for actually breakfast. We usually just have coffee or skip breakfast. Occasionally we'll go all out and do a big brunch. Eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns etc. But the kids usually have fruit for breakfast , or oatmeal, or boiled eggs (from day before because we're not morning people and aren't waking early to make anything 😅) occasionally theyll have sugary cereal, but usually they just eat it dry because they're little. And Denny's is good it's just more of a place you go eat at 3am when you're drunk than a place you plan to go to for dinner or something 😅😅 24hr breakfast ♥♥ lol

when people ask me "What're you doing for the royal wedding" I reply with "Organising your funeral" and then laugh manically.

I'm confused about your references to pudding for breakfast. What do you mean by pudding? I've never had pudding for breakfast.

So, to really grind the gears of a Brit, I should say," I can't believe I'm eating these beans for breakfast, what kind of malarkey is this? On the flipside, they are very moist". Lol

You can get eggs, bacon, ham, hashbrowns, toast and butter just about anywhere.

As an American I actually think we're more rude

every one should respect the queue

Who here in the US eats pudding for breakfast? Sure there's the array of sugary breakfast cereals but go to any restaurant breakfast buffet and you'll see a wide variety of items normally eaten here, many not loaded with sugar. Baked beans are normally eaten with either hamburgers or hot dogs or some sort of barbequed meat (and no, we don't eat these for breakfast, lol)

I had a brilliant mid-Atlantic working breakfast with a client when I was working in Hong Kong many years ago. You start with a stack of pancakes. Slip slices of crispy bacon between the pancakes. Surround the stack with sausages. Drench it with maple syrup. Then you put a fried egg on the top. Breach the yolk and it runs down the side of the pancake stack. A big yum.

Denny’s is where you go at 3 in the morning after partying all night

I can't eat sugar in the morning either. It gives me a headache and I feel bad all day. I eat a couple of fried eggs (runny yolk) and some meat, like 3-4 slices of bacon or a leftover hamburger patty. But I can make some of the most moist, fluffy cakes and sweet bread that you've ever had in your life. My secret is to add lots of sour cream and/or plain yogurt as well as an extra egg and double the butter. And use whole milk whenever the recipe calls for water. And beat plenty of air into the batter right before you pour it into the baking pans but let it rest for a few minutes so the baking soda can do its thing before you put it in the oven. Even a cheap cake mix can turn out delicious this way.

When you're talking about American people imitating your accent and how it grates on you, that's how I feel when people try to imitate a southern American accent. And it's usually other Americans who butcher it! It's like nails on a chalkboard. I've actually heard many Brits do a better job. (I thought about this while watching the movie Forever my Girl, which takes place in Louisiana where I'm from. I was shocked that the main guy is actually English. He does a great job! The other actors... not so much.)

When an American says they don't like British food, it really means that it's just something they're not used to having.

An American breakfast is NOT sugar. We do have waffles and pancakes BUT a traditional breakfast is eggs, sausage/bacon, toast with jam or jelly (there’s a difference here), fruit, home fries.... that’s very standard here.

You can order eggs (prepared in a variety of ways) with toast, hash browns, bacon or sausage for breakfast anywhere in the US. Beans not likely though. I hate sweet breakfasts too.

In America we have both jam and jelly Jelly is a spread with no visible fruit in it Jam is like preserves and has chuncks of fruit in it

Why are you polite? Cause it’s polite...

Never been to the motherland, but I must still agree with you: you have good food. Why wouldn’t you, you have your pick of cuisines throughout the world. I have no idea how/why that stereotype began. Always been a stereotype. But I watch a lot of PBS (our version of BBC only more regional), and I know you folks are serious about your cuisine. But, beans for breakfast? Nope, not unless they are in a breakfast burrito. You need breakfast burritos. “Lining up” is not uniquely British. It’s worldwide. We drink a lot of tea, but it’s ICED tea.

No way, I love Denny's! As far as getting a traditional fry-up here in the states, you may want to try a non-chain, independently owned restaurant and asking the wait staff if you can get beans for breakfast. It is true, we think of all types of beans as more of a lunch or dinner item.

American food is cheaper than most developed first-world countries because of the way our food is processed, and the scale at which we process it; for instance the farms we have for beef cattle, or our dairy farms, or even farmed fish. In all honesty, I try not to think about these things, because the conditions at many of these farms are... pretty disgusting. At best. But it allows us to mass-produce food, which in turn drives prices down. I work in a shopping mall with a Nando's in the food court. Haven't tried it yet, but I hear a lot of great things. I do have some of their Peri-Peri sauce, and once I get past the hint of lime in the first few bites, it's really good! (Not really a fan of lime, specifically lime sauces, but they get better the more you eat them, and I love spicy food so... win.) I had to look up what a Cheeky Nando's is, and feel like a moron because I know what "cheeky" means, and I know what "Nando's" is, and had I thought to just put the two together I'd know what it meant. lol apparently it's a term that's being used more in the US than before, but I don't think it really caught on (the article I read was from 2015). [Sidenote] I think it's the cutest thing that Lia can't say "breakfast". [End Sidenote] In the US we do see beans as more of an evening side dish. We have many different ways to do "brekk-fetts" however (lol). Fish and grits. Scrapple. Eggs. Cream of Wheat. Oatmeal with raisins. Bacon. Chicken and waffles (honestly, that one is a little weird to me, but in the south it's HUGELY popular). Sausage. Pancakes. Biscuits. Buttered toast, sometimes with jelly or jam (there is a difference lol). Cereal of all types, from whole wheat to Corn Flakes to, basically, candy with some nutrients in it poured into a bowl of milk (such as Captain Crunch or Froot Loops). Hashbrowns, fried potatoes, slices of fruit, apple sauce, omlettes with diced peppers and onions... we'll even do steak with our breakfast. Take any combination of those (cereal, oatmeal, and cream of wheat are usually eaten by themselves), wash it down with some orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, or milk, and you have breakfast! *Disclaimer* This is speaking from the perspective of a black man from Maryland, most of whom's family is from the southern east coast states. These are the things I grew up eating, not necessarily what every American has for breakfast. But I CAN say... we usually... don't have pudding lol As someone who appreciates organization, I agree with the queuing. In fact, what... Americans are you guys talking to? I mean, we are generally a bunch of assholes, but most of us are pretty good at standing in line lol who asked you about queuing? They probably don't know what a queue is. What people in this country are rushing the counter at McDonald's to get a cheeseburger? I hope I never meet them lol I feel like the tea thing is influenced by television, and movies. Americans are gullible in that way lol I don't know how "impolite" Brits are, but... I work at Starbucks, in a place that a lot of tourists visit, and I've learned that basically nobody is ACTUALLY polite. And that's a shame, because I try to be. Like... 1 out of every 9 people is genuinely polite. smh fake asses... We have lots of ways to say goodbye too. "Bye", "See ya", "Check ya later", "Peace", "One (or One love)", or my favorite for phone convo, "Yep." lol Didn't know who Mary Berry was until 10 seconds ago. Saying "I'm fine" in the US is pretty much the same in most cases, it's more like "I'm not okay, but I'll get over it". If I'm actually okay, I say "I'm good". I'm fine doesn't even feel right to say lol And moist is just a funny, funny word. I only like 2 things moist: my cake, and... ahem... I can't think of a proper way to put this... vagina. lol not like, "she's been working out for an hour" moist, but I'm sure you get the idea... Aaaaanywho, I've been leaving long comments on a lot of your videos today, and I'm sorry for being that guy. So I'm gonna call it a night! Thanks for the vid!

Really? I’m at Brit and I pay £2 for a nice pack of strawberries at M&S. When I went to the Us, I paid about $5 for an equally sized pack of strawberries.

No one eats pudding for breakfast...lol. We do have toast, sausages and hash browns. No worries.

Love your shirts! "MIAMI" and "LIMONADA DE FRUTAS". Great channel! 😃

Only people that don't work make breakfast, like in the movies I believe......my kids and I only have a big breakfast on Sundays if we are not going to church.....☺

Americans can do breakfast without sweets. Sometimes we just choose not to. I don't understand why Americans wouldn't get the fine thing because a lot of us are that way too.

I live in New England and I often see baked beans on the menu in diners. I think it's a regional thing like grits in the South. I prefer eggs, home fries and bacon for breakfast.

Whenever I've been to USA I have had this; "I just love your accent Say something." At which point I am too self conscious to say anything

To the British people, Jam and Jelly are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! Jam is made with the whole fruit, jelly with only the juice.

I almost never comment on YT but I've recently gotten addicted to your channel (thank you for the videos!) and I have to set something straight: I'm American and take it from me, many Americans won't know this: but FYI, there is an actual difference between "jelly," "jam," and "preserves" in the US. Anyway - you guys are adorable, look forward to more!

I spent a week in London many years ago. It's the only vacation I've ever been on where I actually LOST weight!

Don't worry, Lia. Americans don't only eat sweet foods for breakfast. There are some salty alternatives to waffles or pancakes. Some of the common ones that you might see at a café or diner in America might be various omelettes, eggs (cooked the way you prefer), bacon, steak, ham, sausage, hashbrowns, bagel with cream cheese, breakfast sandwiches (which often include eggs and/or bacon) and maybe some sort of salty pastry (for example, ham and cheese croissant). Warning: French toast is a sweet breakfast. It's not toasted French bread with butter. Hope this helps!

If you like a plain, savory breakfast, Lia, I recommend trying biscuits and gravy when you visit the States next.

By now, I'm pretty sure you've found out that American breakfasts are not all sweet. In fact, not usually sweet like you're describing with syrup and waffles, that's more of a special occasion for most people here.

I'm from Poland and here we usually drink tea with a slice of lemon and sugar or just plain tea. When I lived in England a few years back, I couldn't get used to Brits putting milk in their tea, it's so gross! (sorry, don't mean to offend you ;) but I think for most Poles it is gross. Also, we associate it with women who breastfeed - it's said that it induces lactation :D, which is a myth, but still a lot of people believe in that, I guess. (Not that there is any realtion between breastfeeding and the tea being gross! It's just the taste, bleh). Also, we call the beverage -tea with milk - a "bawarka" which refers to the part of Germany called Bavaria (I have no idea why, perhaps it originated there). When I looked for a translation into English I found a name "cambric tea" or "nursery tea" but it's a bit different as it's mostly milk and sugar and just a bit of tea. Well, anyway, just wanted to share a fun fact from a country other than the UK and US :) Ps. Love your channel!
