In case anyone is curious… The reasons behind cucumber sandwiches being called 'posh'; Cucumber sandwiches were associated with royalty / high-class tea time due to their 'delicate' flavor and cucumbers at a time used to be really uncommon and actually quite expensive when people first started eating them but have become much more common and far less expensive nowadays.
More of this please, I've been binge watching them all. Love both Jeff and Tom. What about UK vs US schoolkid food? Egg n soldiers for UK brekkie, crisps sandwich for lunch etc ☺️
I grew up in Boston where lobster is (was?) super cheap. Literally as a child, we would go out for lobster dinners on the reg. Monthly maybe? And I grew up in a single parent household, so we were not rich. It's such a lovely flavour. It's so expensive here in the UK and I miss it.
Please, I buy my lobster off the fishermen in Alma NB, here it used to be a poor man’s food, fishermen kids would trade there lobster rolls for P&J sandwiches
Agreed. This is actually how I scope out brunch restaurants -- by looking at their menus and seeing what kind of "eggs benedict" they have (to me, a poached egg with any type of sauce and on top of something is eggs benedict)
They specifically explained alot of the foods won't be from the U.K or America because imported food is more expsensive, like the sushi and cat poo coffee
I would like u to try Swedish stuff Kalles caviar on boiled egg on crispbread for breakfast and zoega's coffee to drink Lunch smörgåstårta=sandwichcake Dinner surströmming(fermented herring) on tunnbröd(special bread and origin from northern Sweden)with red onion slices,almond potatoe and gräddfil(sour cream)
The Bucket List anyone? I’m actually surprised that coffee is real. And never knew Jeff was from Maryland! He represented well despite not shipping Tom some Old Bay ☺️
Idk, in my view loose leaf tea would be more luxurious. 🤷♀️ Also for the most part I think I'd prefer Jeff's day of eating. With the exception of civat cat coffee. I'm not into seafood other than sushi.
I totally agree with Jeff about walnuts in sandwiches. I grow up in West Central Indiana and every chicken salad sandwiches I had to eat had walnuts and grapes in it 🤢
No, absolutely not. I don’t care what pooped it out and how clean and disinfected it is, that’s vile. If someone gave you a plate with dried food on it and said “oh it’s ok, it’s been washed and disinfected” would you eat off it? I hope not.
I was going to praise you for using the microwave!!! What is the difference? They both heat water. I really want you to do a blind taste test with some Brits to see if they can REALLY tell the difference between tea made with water from a kettle and tea made with water heated in the microwave.
I would like to know what brand of tea was used for an Afternoon Tea. In the US, I have been able to buy Tetley and PG Tips, which I enjoy but what do they serve in the UK?
@@leeraymondrush2870 Yes they are, and I have been lucky enough to buy them here in the US. I quite enjoy them both. But my question was what tea is typically served with an Afternoon Tea in the UK. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.
I would definitely say Twinings tea is standard and most likely to be served for Afternoon tea. However, if you're up north then Yorkshire Tea is probably more popular (or even Betty's if you want an authentic afternoon tea experience - they may have an online shop, not sure).
Okay the kettle bit had me laughing, a lot. He knew every other country would come for him but he beat us to the punch line. Bless.
he he he he ;)
Yes.

The way Tom is butchering his chive plant is just sending me 🤣🤣
You can tell Tom really enjoys cooking and Jeff does just enough of it to get by lol
So funny Jeff you got me! I shouted WHAT!! About the microwave and tea 😂
Me too 😂😂😂😂
So did I, and I'm American!
@@bobbiscrittercave2348 Lol me too, and I'm also American! I was just like o_0 why is he doing this?!
Tom cutting the chives with the dirt clod over the nachos sent me into a place i never want to be in again.. such anxiety!
More of this please, I've been binge watching them all. Love both Jeff and Tom. What about UK vs US schoolkid food? Egg n soldiers for UK brekkie, crisps sandwich for lunch etc ☺️
Tom is spot on! Crab cakes is definitely brunch food.
Crab cake benedict with a bloody Mary is the ideal brunch.
@@bonniehowell9206 yessssss
Crabcake Benedict yum! But I eat crabcales for dinner too.
Can we talk about how Tom ate fish for every meal? 😭🤣🤣
Two of my favorite buzz feeders! Best Monday pick me up ever. Keep them coming! We love this comes home. And we love Tom and Jeff
Aw thank youuu!
And both so handsome.♥️
Thank you for getting a kettle Jeff. You've done the brits proud.
am I the only one who can not get past "cat poop coffee"?
No you’re not. I didn’t even know it was a thing. “Cat poop Coffee” it sounds so nasty. 🤢🤮
Hilariously, I do believe its one of the most expensive in the world and snobs love it. 🤣
No
I’m a big coffee drinker and sorry, I wouldn’t touch it! Ew
Civet's aren't technically cats, but the whole process of making it is straight up animal abuse and should've never become a thing.

@@blackfeminism Same! Lobster tanks in every Star Market and Stop & Shop.
Not cheap anymore I go to Boston a lot although I live in Dallas and the price for a lobster roll in Boston is the same in Dallas:(

Eggs Benedict in any form might be the most brunch food ever
Agreed. This is actually how I scope out brunch restaurants -- by looking at their menus and seeing what kind of "eggs benedict" they have (to me, a poached egg with any type of sauce and on top of something is eggs benedict)
I’m from the U.K. and never heard of the cat poo coffee or any of the ones from the U.K.( well most of them)
They specifically explained alot of the foods won't be from the U.K or America because imported food is more expsensive, like the sushi and cat poo coffee
@@ShawnaCosmica ok
Because its Indonesian
Jeff is straight up robert downey jr. 😂
I just commented the same!
“We’re just going to use the whole bag”
How American of you 😂
Jeff definitely got the short end of the stick this time 😭
Exactly....brit food kinda sucks.
@@melbaelba5706 You never even been here what tf would you know about our food😂
@@alan8964 I’ve been and I can say some of it is aight but cmon man beans on bread? Trash af
@Solikha Akramov I don’t give a shit about their traditions 😂 beans on toast is trash and there’s no denying that
@Solikha Akramov I was taught manners and to speak my mind and even if it’s PART of a tradition food can’t be a tradition
I really was ready to come for you for the microwave tea lol
6:55 I was like "Wait, aren't you gonna? Oh no! Don't you dare! No no no no no! Ohhhhh Jeff! You cheeky little! 😅
These bois are the only reason I still watch Buzzfeed UK
that was a mean joke with the tea. Jeff!!!! although for afternoon tea you do need loose leaf tea and a tea pot for it to be a good afternoon tea :D
Does Jeff live in the U.K. too? I couldn't help but notice the sainsbury and alpro brands lol
Jeff, you’re right I was ready. Nice job with the kettle.
The fact that he ate the millionaires short bread upside down actually killed me.... that was worse then the Rubens situation 😭💀
Everyone in the comments: kettle or cat poop coffee.
Me: Jeff’s hair looks so nice
I absolutely love these two! Tom, you are a cruel cruel man😂 but I have absolutely cried laughing at all of your US UK swap videos
I would like u to try Swedish stuff
Kalles caviar on boiled egg on crispbread for breakfast and zoega's coffee to drink
Lunch smörgåstårta=sandwichcake
Dinner surströmming(fermented herring) on tunnbröd(special bread and origin from northern Sweden)with red onion slices,almond potatoe and gräddfil(sour cream)
Kalles is so good!!
They would love then fermented herring
Poop coffee is about £2 in Bali. Insane that it’s £100 for a bag in Harrods. Also not all that
Jeff you had me there with the kettle, called me all the way out 🤣
No bc the tea thing scared me until he pulled out the kettle
Jeff is looking like he could be Robert Downey Jr's younger brother. The coffee 🤮
Don’t hate on rdj
OMG....I just commented the same thing.
"I know that sushi is not necessarily american" ehm, thanks for clarification, i guess?😂
Did he just eat a millionaire shortbread upside down? 😂
Good fun and the overuse of “booshie” was amusing for some reason 😊👍😊
They didn’t say “booshie” at all, they said “bougie”
@@TheBLGL and yet you still understood them.🤷♀️
Not judging but Jeff is in the UK, isn't he? I know from the outlet sockets, and the Fairy liquid dish soap.
Jeff - get yourself a nice new sauté pan. You deserve it, sir!
Jeff and the grin smirk when he knows he's about to eat a bougie big sausage roll XD
The tea kettle had me ROLLING😂😂🤣
Heeyyy, what's wrong with microwave tea? Cup hot, water hot, bag in, ta-da! 🇺🇲
Oh thank god you used a kettle, you're totally right, I was mortified ! 🤣
I only watch these because I find Jeff so adorable... 🤷🏼♂️
No. The perfect cup of tea starts with loose leaf tea. 😊
I’ve been loving all of these videos during quarantine 😊 Just one request: more Nelly in future episodes please 😄💕
Tom, fish tacos are also quite popular in the U.S. Very Baja... and American now, too. Rest easy with your caviar taco salad. lol
Jeff you failed making your cup of tea you have to press the tea bag against the mug to get the full flavour about
Spicy tuna and a deep fried sushi roll as posh? No that's more of the grocery store sushi.
Not gonna lie.... I'd stuff my face with the sandwiches. Probably steal from the nearby tables as well 😂😋
The pork thing with that breed of pigs is that their meat has 0% cholesterol, so thats what makes it "fancy" and pretty expensive
The Bucket List anyone? I’m actually surprised that coffee is real. And never knew Jeff was from Maryland! He represented well despite not shipping Tom some Old Bay ☺️
If Jeff does get some Old Bay, he should make Tom make Old Bay Fries/Chips.
I got scared when he started cutting the chives on the nachos with the pot intact with dirt inside. Imagine getting dirt on your nachos by accident. 🤢
Idk, in my view loose leaf tea would be more luxurious. 🤷♀️
Also for the most part I think I'd prefer Jeff's day of eating. With the exception of civat cat coffee. I'm not into seafood other than sushi.
i know i expected him to make the tea in a english tea pot with loose tea
No metal spooons!
Who is in charge of the English subtitle?! CIVIC CUT, WHATTTTT???
1 second into the video and I already know the USA’s food is better💀
Cat poop? That is not a luxury to anyone I know..
Ikr
Thankfully he knew to own a kettle. I don't drink hot drinks but am glad he didn't use the microwave
someone get Jeff a decent set of pots and pans!
As an American, living in California, I have NEVER had or seen nachos with caviar on it... 🤷🏻♀️ separate, yes. Together, no. Lol
I'm intrigued by that one
Well, that looked like salmon roe to me, which is fine for the sushi, but...
I've seen at least 2 bougie bar/restaurants in Manhattan with caviar on nachos
Why the cat poop coffee😩
I mean we got monkey poop coffee over here in the US for 80 bucks a cup. Lol so he shouldn’t be so grossed out about the cat poop coffee. 😂
I totally agree with Jeff about walnuts in sandwiches. I grow up in West Central Indiana and every chicken salad sandwiches I had to eat had walnuts and grapes in it 🤢
So the millionaires bar is basically a twix candy bar?
If you want to get drunk super quick, take a shot every time Jeff bloody says 'boujee'. Guaranteed, paralytic drunk within 5 mins.
jeff really showed you guys
Jeff can curate my menu any day. Electric kettles creep me out.
lmao I was waiting for the ribena 😂😂
I love these with them
Me too.
My favourite food video teams. 🙏🏽
im way late to the party but i love these guys
A Civet is not a Cat and as far as I'm aware the coffee doesn't digest, it passes through the civet.
I believe you're right, but the digestive juices give it a unique and delicious flavour (I've heard, I'm not that brave)
That small glass container of caviar costs 30 bucks at least, real black caviar is unbelievably expensive nowadays.
That Jeff guy looks just like Robert Downey Jr.
No, absolutely not. I don’t care what pooped it out and how clean and disinfected it is, that’s vile. If someone gave you a plate with dried food on it and said “oh it’s ok, it’s been washed and disinfected” would you eat off it? I hope not.
What is that violin tune at the beginning? I have heard it many times, but I don't recall the name of the piece.
I would kill for a good crab cake Benedict
About once a year, coffee specialists shop has the cat coffee....tasting and sells some.
I’ve seen the other videos with these two guys. The American guy is American by accent only.
Thank you Jeff for your support
Sincerely,
Team cream on first
I was looking for this comment! Cream first is the only thing that makes sense to me lol
Jeff got me good
Tom has a full seafood day apparently
Thank you Jeff for including the crabcake!
American breakfast: delicious, decadent, many textures and flavors. English breakfast: literal sh*t
The hell is that dry AF risotto?!?!
Beef wellington like a sausage roll 😂😂 it's in the name BEEF Wellington Sausage rolls are pork 🤣 smart folk here
Cat coffee NO!
you were perseverating on the poop and not enjoying the coffee!
Who doesn't know the "American" food called "Sushi"...
Tom looks delicious
Handling caviar with a metal spoon?!? 😩😩😩
The Civet cat's digestive system removes poisons and toxins from the beans.
Love your cat Tom she is so cute 🥰

I'd suggest the Brits prefer it also because it's "old school =posh"... 🤔
@@suzawilo I think you're right
Yeah you can tell. Microwaved water isn’t hot enough. You need water that’s full-on boiled.
@@amyw6808 You can always microwave water for a longer period of time to get it boiling.
Ok. Hold up. No. Jam then cream of course.
Soy milk in tea is THE ONE, go ahead lad!
Jeff is slowly but surely turning into Jack Grealish 🤣
8:35 Sorry, that's not caviar to me, that's bog-standard salmon roe.
😺💩☕🤣... y'all are funny 👍🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
For 12:44, why not combine both?
He better preheat that mug then swirl the bag to make an even steep typically 4-5 mins but white tea has some with a 2 min steep
