Ryan a burger is any food placed in a bun, a sandwich is any food placed between 2 slices of bread.
Yeah, As far as I can work out, Americans determine a burger based on the meat (ie - Beef is a burger, yet chicken is a sandwich) however us Aussies determine a burger based on the bread/bun (Burger bun is a burger, bread is a sandwich, regardless of what is on it)
@@missjane1403the world vs US terms as usual. Currently “discussing “ this with a USian on Facebook.
@@trevorcook4439good luck
@@missjane1403 if the bun is longer than it is wide, then it's a roll.
Wrong. A burger is a patty placed between bread or buns.
She annoys me because she keeps complaining that things don't taste "flavourful" enough because they don't have as much salt or sugar as she's used to. I think her taste buds are just fried from unnatural amounts of seasoning.
lol true, it's like "Eww... these potato chips taste like potato"
@@knifeyonline That's what annoys me when I go to a restaurant and the chef has cooked with salt. I want to add salt, myself not take the amount that the chef thinks it needs.
I agree, less salt and sugar
@@ianmontgomery7534 I'm dumb.
I read " want to put the salt on myself" and honestly wondered what pouring salt on yourself would do.
I try not to stand too close to myself.
Boy that person is very annoying
I'm from America having lived in Australia for the past 40-some years and I feel like telling this girl to go home and to stay there.
@@sequencerman5 🙂
Sorry
As an Aussie, I can say she’s wrong on several of these. We don’t call lemonade (as you see it) lemon squash. We would consider that a home-made lemonade. We have more lemonade sodas than Sprite btw. Our cheese isn’t the terrible American bright yellow cheese, but healthier. Having said that, most cheese flavoured things are fake cheese powder anyway. We don’t add as much sugar and sodium to things (you can ask for salt at Subway…), because, again we’re healthier and her palate is obviously awful. We have non-alcoholic ginger beer (Bundaberg is amazing) not “root” beer. Our sandwiches are sliced bread based, burgers are in buns and generally something cooked. Chocolate - you get what you pay for lol. Supermarket chocolate is what it is. There’s some goods brands in there, but maybe the US doesn’t have them like Lindt? Ketchup is a different recipe than tomato sauce. That’s why we say tomato sauce as most of us don’t buy ketchup unless we like it. Our shops also sell ketchup. They are different things. We say chips for both hot chips and crunchy crisps. We only say fries for the thin kind that comes from Maccas/Hungry Jacks etc. that vegemite on toast was pathetic. And it doesn’t always have to be on toast btw. We can put it on Saladas, on non-toasted bread, and you have to try as a sandwich with a slice of good cheddar cheese. We tend to go barefoot if we’re bogans/it’s hot weather. Respectable people don’t tend to go barefoot. We don’t seem to have the drip coffee makers here - I tried to find one as I remember Mum using one and I wondered what it was like. If we do have them, it’s less common. We tend to use the machines, French press or moka pots. Might be our high European citizens that influenced that and why Aussie coffee is the best.
Finally a comment I agree with about Australian food. My only point of difference is I remember my Scottish mother always asking for lemon squash at restaurants or bars and everyone knew what it was. I think it's a term mostly used in Australia by older people usually from Britain, but it's still fairly common in country towns.
@@michellewest3404When I was a child, pubs sold lemon squash made with a brand called "Blue Bow". It was a bit sweet, but also nicely tart. It was the bee's knees on a hot day - a schooner of Blue Bow squash over lots of ice (it was like cordial, so I presume it was topped up with something fizzy ... Dad had to buy it and bring the drinks to the car if there wasn't a ladies lounge 😉)
heeeyyy, I'm not a bogan and I've been in coles many times in bare feet! 😎
and also not all our meat is chicken (He said it at 2:03)
Or just a kettle. No microwave heating or stove heating here however.
Ok, so Aussie here, born and bred. QLD in case things mean different things in states.
1. I went to USA a couple years back, the sugar is different. We use a lot more refined cane sugar, whereas the US uses a lot more fructose*? or corn syrup to sweeten things. No surprise, US has a lot of corn, Aus has a lot of sugar cane. Melting point for choc is also a big thing.
2. Sprite is a brand, lemonade is the beverage. For example, the kirk's brand which you showed for lemon squash, also has lemonade. Lemonade is flavoured, whereas lemon squash uses lemons/juice...if not much. Lemonade is the clear stuff, squash is the cloudy stuff, squash is more lemony and less sweet in my experience.
3. The sauce packet, that bump. When you squeeze the edges, the pressure builds in the bump, burst a hole in the pack and squirts the sauce.
4. Ginger beer and ginger ale are different. We have both. Beer is brewed, ale is flavoured. Brewed means cloudy and more gingery.
5. Root beer is a catch all term for brewed roots, like gingerbeer or sarsaparilla. In USA rootbeer tasted like sars (sarsaparilla) to me, and we do have sars floats. Qld seems to like sars more than nsw and vic though from my experience.
6. Us Aussies are coffee snobs as a general rule. My inlaws are huge coffee drinkers, connoisseurs really, and they despised USA coffee...still drank it, but the first thing they did when they returned was grt an AUS coffee. I like coffee, not as much, and I couldn't even drink the US coffee, tastes like burnt coffee beans that stewed in water and was just reheated in a microwave. Was not a fan. So beware coffee here is different. Starbucks actually bombed here and only got a resurgence from influencers on tiktok and teens that never had coffee before (Kids these days don't know good coffee! -old man voice-)
All of that 👍

Yes Starbucks was eradicated from Australia due to Quality. Our home grown coffee is world renown 😊❤
I would say our coffee is world renowned- but not our home grown coffee. While a few places have started growing coffee, the best baristas seem to still go for an Italian coffee bean! Also Starbucks hasn’t been eradicated unfortunately! Quite a few stores around Sydney.
@Dr_KAP unfortunately ha ha ha 😂 thanks for the comment
Ugh! We just had one open in Perth, Western Australia. A Second is due to open. They failed and disappeared years ago. Not sure why they’ve come back 🤷♀️
Ryan the best Australian chocolate is Haighs from South Australia.
As of four months ago, Starbucks had 72 stores in the eastern states, with more opening every month. Hardly "eradicated".
The one thing different about American chocolate is that it contains butyric acid which is most commonly found in vomit
i thought it was lactic acid
That's probably what they also put in Easter chocolate and makes you either vomit or want to do so. It always made me sick when I was a kid and now as an adult I can't stand the taste of it.
I think the vomit comparison is unfair, though.
It's more like wax.
US chocolate contains corn syrup as a sweetener, which Aussie choc doesn't.
The main difference I always heard was that we use cane sugar and they use high fructose corn syrup. We also use Tasmanian milk, the creamiest in the world. In the U.S. the source of milk is geographically too far away from the chocolate manufacturer so they have no choice but to stabilise their milk using butyric acid. Hersheys however says they haven’t done this for years and it isn’t listed in their ingredients. All hi Peter hope you’re well ❤
American chocolate manufacturers add butyric acid during production to give the chocolate a longer shelf life. Butyric acid is a compound found in vomit, which is why it tastes like that to the rest of the world.
It was Hershey who did that and then he supplied so many manufacturers that Americans think that's what chocolate should taste like. I remember seeing Hershey "kisses" in movies and was very excited to try them. Then I did. Yuck!
When I went to the uS I wanted to try Hersheys and Reeses. I was so disappointed. They were very second grade in flavour.
That's why they call the butt the Hershey highway... 😉😄
Holy shit I wondered!!
American chocolate is fecking garbage!!!
Hmm not sure where this girl came from. Very weird. I'm from Australia,. We hate Starbucks here. Apart from everything else she was wrong about.
Starbucks are mainly for foreigners
Not in many places though and most closed after their initial launch here.
She's living in some swanky Sydney suburb without regular shops.
Yeah, it wasn't banned here, it just wasn't popular enough to stay open.
@@ElderNames
Swanky suburb for a wanky suburbanite... 😂
"Lemonade" in Australia would be something like Sprite, 7-up, Schweppes or Kirks and is a clear, carbonated "lemon" flavoured drink. While "Lemon Squash" is normally yellow in colour, slightly carbonated and sometimes can be cloudy - but would be something like Solo, Lift, Bunderburg Lemonade, Guest ?
Cole's lemon flavoured soft drink is surprisingly good and very nice I've cold on a hot day . Schweppes lemonade is the best for mixing in drinks but they always seem to get confused by the name lemonade.
… And the drink Americans call lemonade, we Aussies would call homemade lemonade, or just a lemon iced tea
Soft drink and ice cream drinks are called spiders here..of course lol
Because originally they were made with coke and I ecream.
Was going to mention that - I think we had an Aussie band a few decades ago called The Lime Spiders!
@@trevorcook4439 no, spiders were originally made with lemonade, ice cream and ice cream topping, and still should be. Ice Cream Sodas are made with flavoured soft drink and ice cream. A chocolate spider is not made with Coca/Pepsi Cola and ice cream. It is made with lemonade, chocolate topping and ice cream. Same with other flavours. Flavoured soft drink with ice cream is the cheats way of making them, and only came into popularity when American shows became available in the mid 60's onwards, and even then they werent that popular. Ice cream topping is different to the flavoured syrup used in soft drinks. 😊
@ I’m no. The name spider is from black
@@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673 everyone ik calls it a spider whether its lemonade or not

If you had a drink everytime she said 'like', you would be legless before the half way mark!
You know she either isn’t interesting or is disliked, when we give comments like this.
Ryan, these sort of videos don't make an attempt to understand the differences, just complain about the differences.
Totally agree. Another yank who believes America is the best and everything should be done the American way
In Australia, lemonade existed before Sprite and chips existed before French fries which Aussies called potato straws. These were longstanding traditional foods in Britain and Australia.
I also made homemade ginger beer as a child. If we weren’t careful, the ginger beer bottles would explode as the drink ferments before drinking. You can google the recipe. Have fun!
Potato straws were different. Sold in packets at school
@@FM-jg1yr, they are now (& have been for a long while) but way, WAY back, they were fried.
When I was a teenager/young adult, we could get French fried chips, which were the same as fries.
I was in the US for 2 weeks in 2014 and found it very difficult to find a decent meal. Absolute rubbish. Tried McDonald’s one time and threw it out. Tried a ‘fancy’ restaurant, ordered a chicken parmigiana and it came out on a bed of spaghetti that would have fed my family of 4!
@@judithstrachan9399 Yeah, I thought they existed at one time.
@@judithstrachan9399 what State are you in? I never heard of 'straws' other than in packets way back decades...not talking about French fries
An example of American/Australian differences can be seen in the coffee. Americans keep Starbucks in business because it's easy to get, even if it is low grade stuff. Australians will go out of their way and travel to get good coffee, and it's also a matter of pride to have amongst the world's best coffee.
actually in the USA Dutch Bros coffee is way better, starbucks there is so overpriced,
Sprite is a brand name, it's categorized as a lemonade. A sweet and clear soft drink with only a hint of lemon. A "full on" lemon flavoured soft drink is a Lemon Squash. See also "Solo". Check out the "Solo Man" advertising, definitely a reaction video in that. Bundaberg Ginger Beer is fantastic.
she put alot of australian foods down , and doesn't seem like she really took the time to research why it tastes different
The hole in the donut came from some smart donut street vendor way back when, who realised the donut cooked quicker with the hole.Donuts in other countries quite often don't have a hole. But they are often filled by injecting jam or custard into the donut.
@@DavidCalvert-mh9sy A donut without a hole and with jam injected is called a Berliner or a Pąnczki.
Also the pink Galaxy doughnut in her video was American from Starbucks… We don’t eat those. We have much more delicious doughnut shops in Australia that would absolutely shit on Starbucks!!!!
I think we call them chips because it came from England because over there they say fish and chips and of course they were our heritage
They’re also a chip of potato unlike crisps. I call those things crisps because they’re too thin to be a “chip”
Ketchup and tomato sauce are 2 different things. You can get Bundaberg ginger beer in costco. That's the perfect amount of Vegemite
Perfect Vegemite for a beginner at least.
a pittance of vegemite
that's a shit amount of Vegemite go big or go home
I think I understand why the original video got quite a few thumbs down. "Australian food isn't really that different from American food or maybe like British food: it's just kind of like burgers, sandwiches, meat, potatoes." How ridiculous. Aussie food is incredibly varied. Remember that 1 in 3 Australians were born overseas. We have amazing Asian food, European food of every variety. The stuff she showed was essentially junk food that most Aussies wouldn't eat very frequently. It's also funny that she complains that Aussie food doesn't have enough sugar or sodium. Yeah, because that stuff kills you. Why is a hamburger called a hamburger when it doesn't have ham? Because it is named for a citizen of the German city of Hamburg - a Hamburger. Nothing to do with ham. Also, what Americans call a sandwich we would call a roll or burger (depending on the shape and whether the contents are hot). For us, a sandwich is reserved for something made with slices of bread. Sprite is a brand. So would you ask for a Schweppes Sprite? That makes no sense. Why does Bundaberg sound German? I don't know. I guess it sounds German just like Pittsburgh sounds German. Yes, Aussies make coffee much more from an espresso machine than drip coffee.
Chocolate isn’t candy ffs. US chocolate is made differently to everywhere. Australian recipe for chocolate is the same as most places with an added ingredient to prevent melting
Is it me or is this person putting down Australian food except when she says oh it’s so healthy
I feel the same way, but I don't blame her though, since her taste buds probably so different considering she is from America
@ true but I think our food down under are leaps and bounds so much more tastier than what this person is saying .
Pavlova, Meat pies , leamingtons, hangis , roast lamb , roast meals , seafood , reduced cream onion dip, pineapple lumps list is endless this is New Zealand
I got the impression she's putting it down BECAUSE it's healthy. Oh no, my Subway isn't as flavourful because it's healthier 🙄
@@Merrid67play, I thought so, too.
@@Merrid67play Because it has less salt, msg, sugar, and other food additives. Oh no! the taste of vegetables!
We also have fish burgers, vegie burgers, lamb burgers, if it’s in a round bun, it’s a burger, unless it’s a crusty bread roll then it’s a roll aka salad roll,chicken roll, ham and cheese roll, etc.
Doughnuts around the world come in many varieties and shapes other than the ones with the hole. There are big fluffy round ones that are filled with jam or cream or custard or chocolate custard, etc. There are also long doughnuts
Long johns: sliced longways jam & cream added. Mmmmmm!
High fructose corn syrup v sugar is the difference between US and Aus sweets. American food is not all unhealthy but your portion sizes are insane including unlimited drinks/soda.
"Solo" is still probably our best version of a lemon squash imo. They did some great adds over its lifespan.
"If ya got a thirst for it, you gotta crack a solo."
Pinto when I was a kid. Pinto man
Loved the ads with the solo man "light on fizz so you can slam it down fast".
@ used to be called pinto and the pinto man. To slam it down fast in a canoe over a waterfall!
I suspect PepsiCo bought out Pinto & incorporated it into Solo (or someone else did & PepsiCo bought them out.)
I prefer Lift to Solo, I find Solo leans to the sweet where Lift leans towards more lemony flavoured. I prefer both over lemonade (Sprite) though. 👍
if shops or menus want to be clear about their product, they write 'hot chips'
Exactly. Her claim that we don't differentiate between the two is just manifestly wrong.
Bunderburg is a place but its drinks are fantastic.
BundAbErg. Bert Hinkler came from there & there’s a museum in his old house. Of course.
Correct but with ginger beer i prefer Saxbys.
Yup, my home town!
Bundaberg ginger beer is actually brewed with real ginger whereas most other soft drinks/soda's are just a mixture of chemicals
the word burger refers the a bun or roll, where as the word sandwich refers to 2 slices of bread. Cheese is not that yellow stuff either which is NOT cheese. Sprite is a brand name, like Schweppes , both make Lemonade , and Australians prefer unadulterated coffee, not the crap Starbucks serves, that is why they failed here, they did not do their market research very well, they thought they could just walk in and rule the coffee world .. lol
Starbucks sure are a persistent lot, though. I've seen like four or five new ones pop up in Western Sydney over the past five or so years. Their regular customers are obviously folks who don't actually know what good coffee is supposed to taste like.
We have floats (called 'spiders', with any combination of ice cream / soft drink) but root beer is called sarsparilla here (close enough, search 'The Difference Between Root Beer and Sarsaparilla,' for the pedants).
I've actually had both root beer and sarsaparilla here in Australia.
They come from different plants and they taste very different. Both disgusting, but different. Sarsaparilla to me tastes like coke with a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Root beer tastes very resiny, like pine cones or mountain pepperberries. Weird.
no, spiders were originally made with lemonade, ice cream and ice cream topping, and still should be. Ice Cream Sodas are made with flavoured soft drink and ice cream.

@@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673 - topping in a spider? that's weird
@@Merrid67playthey used to come from different plants. According to Bundaberg they now come from the same plant and are the exact same drink! Root Beer used to include sassafras in the old days.. nowadays it’s from the Sarsaparilla vine and is the exact same drink.
@@Dr_KAP The root beer I had wasn't a Bundaberg product.
"That meat is not ham. Make that make sense."
Easy because the Hamburger is named in honor of Hamburg in Germany by the person who invented it. It has nothing to do with ham.
My question is why she here
All I heard was wringing coming out of her
The key is she goes Tim Tam just like penguins
Yet everyone who tries them raves about them
Even the pommy who only have penguins
So all I got she's not happy here and rather be home
Hence searching for American stores for coffee ice cream
By the way we have some of the best ice cream as well from milk
What she got was a oversea brand ice cream made here which totally different
Wtf is a penguin? ( apart from the aquatic bird)
@dianacourt377 it's a biscuit similar to Tim Tam's the English eat them

I don't know what state she is in, but lemon squash is not lemonade.
Looked like some of it was at Balmoral Beach and some was at Manly (ocean) Beach, both in Sydney, NSW.
She was saying that what Australians call lemon squash is what Americans call lemonade. Which is correct, at least for older Australians.
Almost everything else she said was woefully incorrect, though.
Uggh, Starbucks! 😢
Would you consider doing another live video where you show us your taste testing of Aussie stuff again Ryan? It would be good to see your family growing up now too. The last one was ages ago.
ikr !!! i rewatch that vid so often lololol
The main difference especially with processed food is that we use Australian Cane Sugar not Corn Syrup.
And here I was thinking that Poms were whingers... 😂😔
Starbucks enjoyer?
That says it all.
No taste at all...
Touché
We have 'spiders' which are a soda drink with ice-cream on top. American chocolate has an additive which smells like vomit. During WW2 Hersheys added it to chocolate as a preservative as it was being shipped overseas to American soldiers who became addicted to it. When they returned, they preferred Hersheys to other chocolate. There is a video on the history of Hersheys which explains all of this. That's how Hershey's became the biggest chocolate manufacturer in the US. Espresso machines are common in Australian homes.
no, spiders were originally made with lemonade, ice cream and ice cream topping, and still should be. Ice Cream Sodas are made with flavoured soft drink and ice cream. A chocolate spider is not made with Coca/Pepsi Cola and ice cream. It is made with lemonade, chocolate topping and ice cream. Same with other flavours.

Ice cream topping is different to the flavoured syrup used in soft drinks. 😊
Australian cheese contains milk, salt & rennet. Milk is not orange, so our cheese is not orange. American cheese contains lots of other additives including colouring.
Noooo Ryan. You said 'koala BEARS' !!!! 😂
Ryan in the USA you guys use high fructose corn syrup for sweetener in confectionary and soft drinks aka soda.
In Australia we use sugar cane sugar for our sweeteners.
We call them chips because they are an English thing, and the *English* call them *chips*
More correctly, we call them *hot chips* (if differentiating is necessary) to avoid confusing them with *crisps* which are also *chips*
Also, have *hot chips* in a sandwich. It's an English dish known as a *chip butti*
Gelato is Italian for ice-cream.
I think it's less what she says but how she says it. Like the way it's done in the US is the right way. That aspect is annoying. We have ties to the UK not the US.
I watch a lot of American lifestyle programs. Often they are grilling hotdog or frankfurts on the BBQ with only sauce on white buns where here in Oz we eat, real meat, beef, lamb or pork butcher style sausages, plus steak kebabs, perhaps grilled pineapple and lots of salad served often with multi-grain or wholemeal rolls. They also serve corn chips, with bought i.e. guacamole dip. In Oz we have selections of cheeses, often homemade or gourmet dips. Salad florets e.g. broccoli or cauliflower and carrot and celery sticks. Other foods like quiches. Overall ours looks much healthier...
You seem to forget the super common "bunnings style" sausage sizzle. Nothing healthy about a mass produced sausage in white bread with burnt onions and tomato sauce. 😂😂

Omgosh this woman is a Debbie Downer ... ENOUGH already! Do your research if you're going to review Australian food and beverages. The water was making her sick? Good grief Charlie Brown ... we have the most advanced water standards in the world
And the best coffee thanks to our Italian immigrants who travelled with their little espresso coffee machines from the other side of the world ☕ 🌏
Most Aussies make coffee with a kettle. Pouring hot water into a cup of powdered/granulated coffee, then adding sugar and milk to taste. Having a coffee machine is considered fancy, but they are becoming more common.
Yanks don't have electric kettles - their voltage is too low. They do have instant coffee, but the snobs sneer at it, same as they do here.
The outdoor heaters are NEEDED. It gets so cold out at bars and restaurants in the evenings and we’re never dressed for the occasion lmao
They are called hot chips because you have chipped a chunk of potato. A packet of chips like kettle or smiths are thin slices of potato. Fries are still chips, just chipped thinner. Its all in the cut.
lol my grandfather calls crisps "potato flakes"- it's so cute lol
Sprite is a brand of lemonade.. I find this girl a big bore ..
Ditto & that f**king whining voice...& I thought Poms were bad
‘Lemonade’ at restaurants can be Sprite, but there are other popular brands like Schweppes. It’s a generic term here for a light lemony flavoured soft drink. To add to confusion, ‘lemonade’ at the grocery store can also mean true lemonade made from juice. Lemon squash is an older term still used by some brands.
Schweppes and Kirk's are better lemonades
The closest thing to root beer floats is a "Spider". Which is ice cream and cola, because Australia only have root beer from America.
There are many types of donuts without holes
Those outdoor gas heater things are ubiquitous here
I've heard sprite being called lemonade. I remember going to an RSL once and asked for lemonade and got sprite in a glass. (Understood)
I've never in my life heard someone call lemonade squash
Lemon squash or pub squash, both names for the same thing. Sprite is a specific brand name for a vaguely-lemon-flavoured soda, but doesn't refer to other brands that have their own vaguely-lemon-flavoured soda. For example, Kirk's lemonade is not Sprite, and Schweppes lemonade is not Sprite. Black & Gold lemonade is not Sprite either. Nor is Tru Blu Lido, or 7-Up, or the Woolworths or Coles store brands.
In short: all Sprite is lemonade, but not all lemonade is Sprite.
My mother did, but she is from the UK.
My Mum did, too. Her parents emigrated here a year before she was born.

Mixing ginger ale with a (good) whiskey is a jailable offence!!
I'm a typical Aussie, I've NEVER heard anyone in Australia call sprite lemonade lol
It is a universal constant that any dominant football code is called 'football' in any country in the world, and the non-dominant games are named by their titles. So in America 'football' refers to one game and the rest are 'Aussie Rules', Soccer', etc [if they are even thought about at all]. In Britain soccer is called 'football' and the other games are American Football or Grid Iron and Australian Rules, etc. In Australia football is Aussie Rules or Rugby League or Rugby Union, depending where in Australia you are, and other others games are Soccer and American Football. The point here is that in every country the dominant football code is just called 'Football'.
In Australia (in Sydney at least) we really only call them "soft drinks" (or "fizzy drinks" but that is far less common in my experience). "Soda" isn't unheard of, but generally that word is only used when talking about "soda water" or "Creaming Soda" (a red vanilla-flavoured drink). The term "Pop" isn't used.
These drinks are generally referred to by their flavour/type rather than their brand. The exception to this would be that we don't really call things "Cola"; you would generally ask for a "Coke" (Coca-Cola) or a Pepsi.
If you ask for a lemonade, you would get a drink that is the same as Sprite, but that's not the only brand that exists.
Lemon Squash (also called Pub Squash) is a lemon flavoured carbonated drink.
If you wanted American-Style Lemonade (non-carbonated) you would probably need to ask for "traditional Lemonade" or something like that.
Floats here are called Spiders, and traditionally made using Creaming Soda or Coca-Cola. Although, somewhat anecdotally, Maccas started selling them (I think fairly recently?) as "McFloats"
Ginger Beer (such as the Bundaburg brand) is generally non-alcoholic, although there is has been a recent boom of alcoholic Ginger Beers. It's sharing the space with Cider and Canadian Club (as random as that is) as an alternative to 'traditional' beer.
Good job. I reckon you explained it as well as anyone could.
Chips in a packet…. Potato chips
Thinly cooked chips….. French Fries
Normal size cooked chips……. Chips
Thick cooked chips…… Steakhouse Chips
And we also have beer battered chips. I hope this makes it easier. Oh and our sugar here is made fro Sugarcane which might account for the taste difference. By the way I really enjoy your posts. They’re very entertaining 👍
For me, it’s :
• Chips, flat, cold, in a packet = crisps, sometimes (but not often) also simply called packet-of-chips;
• Ultra thin cold, long chips, usually sold in a packet = straws
• Thin cooked chips, sold hot = hot chips, never fries unless at Maccas and only because that’s what Maccas call them;
• Medium thick cooked chips (old-fashioned-cut fish-shop-type), sold hot = hot chips;
• Thick cooked chips, sold hot = wedges.
@@marilynhogg4599 never heard of steakhouse chips or anything so complex...chips, hot chips, wedges
Sprite arrived after local (clear) lemonades, so the brand didn't get to label the category, it was just another one

I had never tried Mac and cheese until about 6 months ago, not worth the effort IMHO. I'd prefer Indomie noodles.
@@continental_driftYes, we can easily get fresh noodles and pasta, this pack is dried food! 👍
@@jenniferharrison8915 just as easy and nicer to cook your own Macaroni cheese...as it was always known...proper white sauce with cheese through it
@FM-jg1yr Exactly, and much more fresh and tasty!
She hasn't put the cheese in the mac and cheese yet.
I think she just added too much milk. And it was probably lactose free milk or something, which is oddly sweeter than regular milk.
This comment is just a response to your question at the beginning. Firstly, in Australia, a drink made from ice cream and carbonated beverage is called a "spider". (You must have known that at some point, there's no way someone who's been doing Australia videos for as long as you have wouldn't have come across it at some point, but you've evidently forgotten.) Secondly, "float" is a stupid name for it, because the ice cream _does not float!_ If the ice cream floats, you've made it wrong. The ice cream is supposed to be a big scoop jammed into the bottom of the glass, with the carbonated beverage poured on top. Thirdly, "spider" is in fact a _good_ name for it, because the foam creeps up the inside of the glass in a very spideresque manner. Fourthly, it would be unusual to find an establishment that serves spiders to customers, it's more something people make for themselves at home. (Is it the same in America?) Fifthly, you can use whatever carbonated beverage you like, and sarsaparilla (which has the same key ingredient as root beer) is a carbonated beverage I like, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Her footage is from Mosman in Sydney, one of the most expensive harbourside suburbs. That bus that passes in the beginning with the red "Q" on it is a Queenwood School bus - a private girls school with fees up to $40,000 per year. Ordinary houses in Mosman are well over a million, NICE houses range from 3-5 million. Spectacular houses with spectacular views are $12 million and up. If you have the money, it's a wonderful place. Balmoral beach in particular. I know, I grew up there (I could tell you some stories...)
When I was in the States, I lived in BH, not so different from Mosman, although Rodeo Drive is more like Double Bay here.
When you come over I'll show you around.
a lot of ordinary houses are about a million bucks in Australian cities these days.
“Charlie Nagreen was 15 when he reportedly sold pork sandwiches at the 1885 Seymour Fair so customers could eat while walking. The Historical Society explains that Nagreen named the hamburger after the Hamburg steak with which local German immigrants were familiar.”
An Aussie here she has managed so say so many wrong things like lemonade is not lemon squash
When I was in NY the cheese was orange (ours is yellow) and the chicken flesh was yellow (ours is white). Someone told me it is because the animals are corn fed. I think ours are grass and wheat fed.
You can get cornfed chicken here, and it does have a yellowish tinge. Have to hunt for it, though. I think Lilydale brand used to do one.
When my Dad had chooks in the pen in the backyard, they would go nuts whenever there was corn in their feed. They loved it and would eat all the corn before any of the regular feed. The addition of the corn in their diet also made the egg yolks nice and bright, almost orange colour. He fed them shell grit as well for stronger egg shells, so less breakage and wastage. Ahh, those were the days!
As for ginger drinks - you can get (dry) ginger ale, which isn't alcoholic, or ginger beer, which is sweeter and can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. They both taste of ginger.
You should not expect other countries to have everything that you have in America. That's why we are all different, but you shouldn't make fun of what we have. In many cases, it is better than what's in America. I know because I have been to America 10 times, and have experienced what you guys have, but I was never so rude as to ridicule something just because "we don't have that at home". The idea of travel is to experience other people's cultures and foods.
Donut $4AUD = $2.60USD, We don't call lemonade sprite, because sprite is a brand and we have many varieties of that clear citrus drink like sprite. Jatz are not better than ritz, but they are more firm/dense, more salty, less buttery. So Jatz can sometimes be better with dip or the more savoury cheeses.
Bundaberg ginger beer is the best, especially with some ice on a hot day 👍
Hahaa I loved the part where your brain exploded at the lemonade/squash part Ryan. Too funny :)
lemon squash is always carbonated and is just a tart version lemonde. so she mistook that one.we really don't have an quivelant. we have lemon juice, lemon coridal and carbonated lemond based drink is collectively known as lemonade.
also we have a million versions of lemon carbonated drinks not just sprite.
I also drink a lot of soda water.. thinking about it! Ryan wouldn't understand😮
@@greghillier5176 Correct, we have Kirks Lemonade, I think Sweppsesse Lemonade (probably spelt that wrong lol 😂), Coles Lemonade and more, I don’t like Lemon Squash, it’s too tart tasting for my liking..😊
@@-nellie-m3711 I used to like Leeds lemonade as a kid and there were many more now gone.
@ I never drank a lot of lemonade, my favourite soft drink and still is Sarsaparilla but not many brands make it anymore, the only brand I can get is made from Bunderberg, the same as Ginger Beer, a lot of things taste different now days to when I was growing up in the 60’s. I used to love a Shandy, but I’d have it with Beer and Sarsaparilla instead of with Lemonade, you might know of that drink that you used to get mainly from the Pubs and especially the RSL Clubs, that’s something Ryan could try with Root Beer Lol 😂.
Sprite is a brand name, many companies make lemonade, its just sugary clear soda with a lemon flavour. Sprite is Coca cola's version. Your lemonade looks like what you buy from a lemonade stand and we call that lemon squash.
We don’t have the orange red cheese die in Australia that’s why the Mac and cheese is different
Ketchup is sold in Australia (Heinz). Reading the ingredients list the only difference appears to be that ketchup has more vinegar in it.
There are other lemonades, Sprite is horrible. So no one would call it sprite in general. I drink Schweppes.
In Oz, we have ginger beer. It's usually non-alcoholic. We don't called them floats either, they're called "spiders".
Mushroom heaters. Yes, we have them. They’re great 👍
Hey Ryan drip coffee is not common in Australia most houses would use pod coffee machine or ones that grind up the coffee beans for you. we had a oversupply of chicken so it got cheap and all the takeaway fast-food places started making chicken burgers
Sprite is sprite and lemonade is a lemonade they aren’t the same drinks don’t listen to her lol
Rubbish, anywhere you go and ask for lemonade you basically get Schweppes lemonade or Sprite, they are interchangeable.
There are so many cuts of hot chip that are not fries! Fries are specifically the thin-cut hot chips that you get at places like Maccas and Hungry Jack’s.
Ryan iv sent you and your family parcels!! Two large asf boxes!
good on ya buddy, i was wondering how i could do something like that.
Thanks mate we'll see if Ryan gets them before Christmas haha
Sweet, I hope he does an unboxing video and tastes all the snacks
@@mjb7015 me too that's what I'm also hoping for hahaha 😂 I hope it represents Aussie well haha
We want to see the unboxing Ry 😊
I remember like jaw drop staring as a teen when we had American friends out here visiting and I’d be blown away fascinated watching them just marvelling over our food and slamming it back like they’d never had a hot meal in their life lol, especially the chocolate cuz it actually melted in your hand then omg, also your mouth and didn’t have that waxy texture like soap shavings 😂 it was great. Oh and the Sunday roast was huge fun. They thought it was a holiday or something and they were so jazzed about literally everything that it pretty much turned into it’s own party
Ryan one parcel is full of Aus snacks and one full of presents hahaha
lemon squash used to have lemon bits in back in the day. I think lemon squash just hung around with some brands to sound more traditional and more flavour. I think it actually has more colouring in them. Chips is the word we adopted from the UK, I think it means that you chips bits off the potato.
yeah its a chicken burger not a sandwich its buns the buns that make a burger
In Australia we call a Rootbeer Float a Spider, ie. Lemonade and Ice Cream or soft drink of choice and usually vanilla ice-cream. My personal flavour is a Sarsaparilla Spider.We say Chips or Hot Chips to tell the difference
who are these everybodys who supposedly go shopping barefoot? not around here
With regards to the chips issue, they're both essentially the same thing, just one is hot and the other is cold, one is soft, the other is crispy. But they're both still seasoned, fried potato pieces.
The outdoor heaters are common in the Melbourne CBD.
And around Redcliffe QLD
And all over Australia, especially places at night when it’s cold.
Bundaberg is a brand. Their speciality is manufacturing "BREWED" Soft Drinks, as opposed to "carbonated" soft drinks. They have much more flavour and naturally brewed.
They also make a really EXCELLENT Caribbean style Rum.
You react to German videos, so you should know a hamburger is named after Hamburg, nothing to do with ham. We have Bugles, but they are called Cornados, we have Sarsparilla, which tastes the same as Root Beer, so I guess it's the same thing maybe. Soft drinks (soda) with ice cream on top, is called a Spider, yeah, I don't know why either.
Root beer is a different plant - based on some kind of tree bark. Whatever, both sarsaparilla and root beer are weird.
@@Merrid67play Oh, OK. They taste very similar though, I love both, but I take it you're not a big fan 😄 Thanks for the info. ✌❤
I've heard a 'spider' is called that because it makes a sort of spider-web pattern out of the foam.
@@DragonAttackInBlue Oooh, interesting, I want to go make one now, just to see if that's true. I wouldn't drink it though, I've always thought they were disgusting. 🤣🤣🤣✌❤
@@taniaPBear I hope you do. I'm not gonna vouch for it working, though.
