      Americans' views of British food may be a lot harsher than those of the citizens of England, but general perceptions of food from different countries can be hugely biased; for instance, there's far more online hate and vitriol directed at France than any other country, while the perceived quality of Mexican food is generally held in high regard. Plus, many English viewers may hold Engish-based prejudices related to those fried pasty components of traditional British cuisine which Americans may see as unappetizing (think battered fried chicken).

    Growing up as a Malaysian, I've had almost everything in this video since childhood. It turns out that most British snacks, food and drinks are the same as ours. Not a person whom I know of hates them. We love diary milk chocolate, ribena, marmite and we also dip our biscuits into tea. In the Malaysian Chinese cuisine, there's a dish called marmite chicken which, in my opinion, has the god tier flavour ❤.

    The tea part is fascinating. If you go to a traditional kopitiam (coffee shop) in former British colonies of Malaysia and Singapore (and certain parts of Indonesia) and order a cup of teh (tea), you will automatically get tea with milk (and sweetened). That’s just the default definition of teh (tea). If you want tea without milk, you have to specifically order it as teh o (tea without milk).

    It's such a pity that blackcurrant was banned in the United States for many years, due to it possibly carrying a disease that could harm certain trees here. The Federal ban is over, and some states now permit growing the plants, but the flavor has never really caught on here because it was nipped in the bud due to the government restrictions. I've had the pleasure of enjoying blackcurrant kvass from Ukraine and blackcurrent-flavored Jelly Babies and loved them both. It's like grape, sort of, but better! Will have to see if I can get Ribena at our local European expatriate market! I'd never paid attention to it before, but I'm sure I'll love it -- as much as I do Yorkshire Gold!
