Our baked beans have much more flavour than in the USA. They are cooked in a thick tomato sauce full of flavour and really good on toast. You really need to come to the UK and try some of these
Almost All The American's That Uploaded Video's To TH-cam, Say That The British Bean's They Try Are A Lot Better Than American Bean's Because IN The US They Put So Much Sugar In They Foods,!!!!!!!. We Have Reduced Salt And Sugar Amounts In The UK In Recent Years,!!!!!!!?,.
Haggis is a very rare scotish anilmal. It's legs on one side are shorter than the other side, so it can remain upright when climing around the mountains of scotland. Hunting parties go out every year to catch and kill a haggis on new years day. The innards of the Haggis are removed and cooked up in time for Burns night, and the body of the Haggis is turned into a set of Bag Pipes.
my dad got me w than wen i was 4, i watched out the car window desperate t see a hagis n still remember wen i figured out it was a trick n felt sad lol
@@duncanlord7823 ive watched 3 videos and in all of them he repeats the word pudding 100 times and says hes only heard of chocolate pudding and cant imagine anything else.... he still, a year on, 100% still thinks we put sausages in all of our desserts
In the UK "pudding" can be sweet or savoury and covers a multitude of foods. Yorkshire (pronounced "York-sher") Pudding is not a sweet pudding but a savoury batter pudding which can be served with meat dishes or can be filled with sweet fillings to make it a sweet pudding.
Bubble and squeak is usually fried in a frying pan. As you cook it and shape the vegetables together into a patty, it hisses, squeaks, pops and bubbles a little. Great fun!

As a Brit, now living in the USA, I will tell you, that black pudding is actually, surprisingly, really really tasty! The contents put me off trying it for many years, but when I did eventually get around to trying it, I loved it & YES, it is a British staple when it comes to a Sunday full English breakfast!
The "yuk" reaction when finding out that's what black pudding is, just staggers me. The meat "juices" in the roasting pan are "blood" and so damn tasty you always want there to be more, often better tasting than the roast. So a food item made wholly of "meat juices" is fantastic 😁
@@MKR5210 no, the red juices that come out of meat is called myoglobin, which I know _sounds_ like something to do with blood, but what it actually is, is protein mixed with water. There are three major components to blood that do not exist in myoglobin - red cells, the red colour in myoglobin comes from the protein - plasma which is a urine coloured liquid and the collection of immune cells and clotting factors which are collectively known as the buffy coat. Between them, along with water. these make up 99.9% of blood and none of it exists in myoglobin!
Don't knock it until you've tried it. And, don't take the names we give meals quite so literally (us Brits are rarely direct). Yorkshire Pudding (it's NOT a pudding in US terms) is a pancake batter cooked in the oven. Add sausages at the same time and you get Toad in the Hole. Beans on Toast is a National favourite and are nothing like what the US has. Also, don't try to recreate British meals using US ingredients, it will fail. BTW: UK definition of.... Pudding: Hot - pie, crumble or cake (Treacle Sponge, Spotted Dick, Bread & Butter pudding, Egg Custard) Dessert: Cold - trifle, ice cream etc Pudding (US) is basically a Mousse. The UK have at least 20 flavours. On this, we got you beat! UK food, because of much stricter food safety standards, is way more healthy than pretty much all US Foods. Almost no 'additives' and certainly no High Fructose Corn Syrup. Best comparison is a Big Mac & Fries US vs UK (Check the ingredients)
This lovely man confuses me and I am an American. My mom uses turkey gizzards in her stuffing, or if you call it dressing and her gravy. I don't know why he doesn't know about meat pies. We have something called pigs in a blanket which is stuffed cabbage. Scottish eggs are yummy. I don't know what is happening in America anymore. As far as Americans being afraid of seafood is a joke. Lol He makes me laugh. Many American's eat savory pudding's. Sadly younger Americans can think of only cold pudding. Warm chocolate pudding is better than cold pudding.
@@christineperez7562 Here, Pigs in a Blanket is a sausage wrapped in bacon 🥓 😋. A particular favourite for Christmas Dinner. Mince pies are pretty common from September through New Year's. On their own or hot with Custard. Meat pies are an every day staple for some and certainly come with Mash and proper gravy. And Puddings 🤔 Apple Crumble or Pie, Rhubarb Crumble or Pie Any fruit as a Crumble or Pie (except tropical) Jam Roly Poly, Rice Pudding, Egg Custard, Lemon Merange, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Spotted Dick, Syrup Sponge, Treacle Sponge, Well.... pretty much any kind of Sponge.

@@christineperez7562 they had a poker tourny here in the UK and some female pro was doing the feed commentary (cant recall who sorry) and she mentioned that she was now hooked on "sticky toffee pudding" and she was shocked that she had never heard of it before but was now having it every day. ps very moreish but not very good for preserving your waistline
to answer your question, Black pudding : Black pud is an integral part of any northern full English breakfast Mince Pie : These things are what most people wait all year for, it isn't Christmas without at least one (boxful) They don't actually contain any meat anymore. Bubble and Squeak : Popular in some midland regions (and i think also in Scotland) it isn't a super common option as not a lot of people enjoy cabbage but it is a great way to use leftovers, thus it's typical to follow after a Sunday roast. Toad in the hole : The Yorkshire pudding is not a dessert dish, it is a savory pudding. toad in the hole is sausages cooked in the Yorkshire pudding batter "not something you would find in America..." - **Points at you with a corndog** - Steak & Kidney pie : these are a delight, often also called a steak and kidney pud just to confuse you there, these do in fact contain offal (organs) but this is just another bit of meat and one that contains some great flavors and nutrition. consider also liver and bacon which is another great and simple dish. Spotted Dick : This one is a pudding, yes that word means the same over here as well, we also joke about it, it's ok. it's not a bad pudding, not too dissimilar to other fruit baked cakes and it goes really well with either cream or custard. Haggis : quite regional, this one is more a Scotland exclusive, based on your reaction to the kidney pie, i doubt this will tickle your tastebuds lots of organs stuffed into a single organ and steamed, it's a meaty flavor and not a bad one if i'm honest but certainly not common across the UK Baked Beans : Yep, it's popular, especially among the younger ones as it is cheap and versatile, as the video showed, it can be added to things, mixed with other cooking or simply enjoyed on it's own with toast.
Steak and kidney pie and steak and kidney pudding are different - the former is made with shortcrust pastry and baked, the latter with suet pastry that you steam
Hi Tyler, another American Reactor I follow has just discovered that the way that you use cutlery in the US, differs from the rest of the world - that is to say, we do not cut everything up and then scoop with the forks, one food at a time only - we hold our forks the other way up and use the knife to push small parts of several types of food onto the back of the fork - never putting the knife down until the meal is finished... Now the reason that's important is that we usually combine several types of foods into each mouthful we eat, in order to either enhance or dull the foods with the stronger flavours - whereas if using the fork to scoop up food, you might eat mouthfuls of different foods in rotation... You ask about the popularity of black pudding, which is a good example of such a stronger flavour food, that your taste buds might reject when it is eaten alone. Eaten in mouthfuls with a few baked beans in tomato sauce and perhaps some egg-yolk however, it can be a very tasty breakfast item that is either fried or grilled with bacon, sausages, eggs, maybe haggis, bubble and squeak, tomatoes. mushrooms, beans and maybe fried bread or potato scones. It can also be deep fried in batter and served with chips - that's fries to you... It is found right across the UK in both forms, but is more popular in Northern England and Scotland, with the very best black pudding being made within a 15-mile radius of the town of Stornoway, which is on one of the outermost islands in the extreme northwest of Scotland. Within Scotland it may be served with, or as an alternative to, sliced haggis - though this can also be boiled, steamed or baked whole and then ceremoniously stabbed and spooned out into portions. It's not absolutely exclusive to Scotland; but is rarely found elsewhere except as a stuffing with a dish such as Chicken Balmoral - in which case it is usually also served with whisky sauce. As "Address to a Haggis," is one of the many poems written by Robert Burns (1759-1796), who is regarded as Scotland's Bard and commemorated on the anniversary of his birth each 25 January, it is normally the centrepiece of quite formal meals known as "Burns Suppers," and served with "champit (mashed) potatoes and mashed neeps (suede)". Dick has the same meanings here, be assured. Unlike fags, which over here might be rolled and smoked...!
What you need to remember is that Britain had over 14 years, from Jan 1940 to Jul 1954, when food was rationed. As a kid growing up in the late 1950s, I had beans on toast regularly at tea time, and as a student at college is was nearly a staple.
Beans on toast is my number 1 favourite quickie meal. Couple of slices of buttered toast, pour over a tin of Heinz baked beans hot from the microwave and Bob's your uncle! It's so easy it feels like I'm cheating.
I didn't think I'd like it, I tried it once...and I was right, I really didn't like it. Haggis on the other hand, (from what I remember, it was years ago) was alright.
I have never laughed so much as watching your reactions to UK traditional food! Just remember that not all "puddings" are desserts! Black pudding is savoury, spicy, peppery and delicious dipped in runny egg yolk, served with fried bacon and mushrooms.
Pudding, traditionally something cooked in a pudding bag (Christmas Pudding) or case in an animal intestine or stomach (sausages, black pudding, haggis). Today it is most often used as a name for a dessert item (even some that have never seen a pudding bag or intestine) but can also be savoury items.
We have bubble and squeak occasionally. We use left over veg and mash potato from a roast Sunday dinner, and mix the veg and mash together (not just cabbage) and fry it in a fry pan. It can have a nice crispy bottom, we eat it with sausages and gravy. Or left over Sunday roast beef or pork and gravy.
I say the same thing and I'm American, I just don't get why the shire in New Hampshire is pronounced correctly but as soon as Americans see shire in the names of other English counties, it's "shy-er"and not '"sheer". And yes though I've never been to any of the shire countries, I do pronounce the suffix the proper British way.
@@danielleporter1829 well done you're part of the minority. Watching Americans try to say Worcestershire sauce is hilarious. I haven't heard one say it right lol. By the way we all just call it wus-ta sause. Much easier. Check out the history of the sauce it's fascinating.
Most of the cabbage you eat in the US is found in coleslaw. I love scotch eggs, toad in the hole and black pudding. We eat a lot of offal in Europe, using all the animal goes back centuries. Our beans don't have molasses in them, just a tomato sauce and when served on wholemeal toast, they are a good source of protein. Yorkshire pudding (it's the same batter that is used to make crepes) doesn't contain any sugar so it can be eaten with a main meal or you can add syrup and eat it as a dessert. Bubble and squeak is a great way of using leftovers.
Indeed, Baked Beans on Wholemeal toast is a complete protein, you could literally survive indefinitely on it. Add a little grated Cheddar and you have a genuine Super Food!.
So funny watching an American hear about our foods😂 I think pretty much everything on that list is fairly common in the U.K. and they are all delicious 🤤 Your reaction was the same as mine when I heard about USA’s biscuits and gravy. But I made myself try it when I was over there, and OMG, I’m literally coming back to the US of A just to eat more of your biscuits and gravy xx
So there are 5 types of biscuits and gravy I grew up on. You most likely tried the most popular version of biscuits and sausage gravy, but there is also milk gravy (basically take the sausage part out and you have milk gravy), tomato gravy, corn beef hash gravy, and then my least favorite (and not as well known I don't think) chocolate gravy.
@@amberbambergaming Well since Cuzzy was saying half the beans made in Wigan end up Down Under and the UK is unlikely to import a product made in Britain, then no, it doesn't.
I think the irony of these videos is that with every video, you become less and less the "average American" because you're becoming more and more culturally aware, and you're actually taking a genuine interest in something other than the USA. Kudos to you! You'll become an honorary Brit soon enough ;)
I've noticed that too with a lot of American reaction channels. They tend to start off as loud and boisterous then calm down and become more sensible as they go.
@@lovesgucci1 I've associated with more than enough Americans to get a feel for what they're like on average, and as if that weren't enough, they have plenty of media/social presence to make that point without anybody saying a single word. A majority of Americans are relatively uncultured - i.e. unaware of cultural differences outside of their own local experiences - and are geographically illiterate. A significant proportion of Americans (40%, that is) never actually leave America, even for holidays... and most of those that have been out of the country have gone to Mexico or Canada. To put this into perspective for you, out of 67 million foreign holidays (not counting business trips, of course), 40 million were to Canada (which is basically identical culturally to the USA), and 15 million were to Mexico. >~4 million to the UK,
“A majority of Americans” aka people I watch on TH-cam or talk to on Twitter. Every Brit I know = all of the countries that are apart of the UK. You must be a blast to hangout with.

In Australia, we call them fruit mince pies, due to the fact that we already have meat pies. Both forms are delicious! Fruit mince is mixed dried fruits, also used in Christmas Puddings and Christmas cakes. Australia also has Bubble and Squeak, made from leftover vegies and tastes fifty times better than hash browns!
Orkney black pudding is so good it got protected regional status from the EU before we left. (Only black pudding from orkney can be sold as "orkney" black pudding.) Good black pudding is crisp on the outside and creamy inside.
As a fourth generation New Zealander I enjoy all of these foods even if some can be hard to come by. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't cross the road for a Mac Donald's hamburger, or any burger for that matter.

Black pudding is so important, they have a special award ceremony in France where it is known as a boudin noir. Many countries around the world compete. It is amazing.
The only place to get the real black pudding experience is at it's home on Bury outdoor market, freshly steamed. That's why it's called a Bury black pudding
@@spearhrower I made a trip from Yorkshire once to Bury market, after the Hairy Bikers filmed there. I was saddened that I couldn't but a hot one, as I wanted to try it straight away! ..... And yes, It was really good!
For those squeamish about the blood content, we also have white pudding here in France (Boudin blanc) It's made with milk instead, sometimes with a little Cognac.

@ Scotland has its own distinct cultural identity. As do England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Just because we share a landmass does not make us the same. They are their own country with their own customs that happens to be governed in Union with 3 other countries. They have a right to be proud of the achievements of their citizens and to claim them as Scottish. Besides, England, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own lists of inventions that are just as impressive.

Black Pudding is beautiful, don’t knock it before you’ve tried it. Black Pudding is traditionally eaten at breakfast time, on a full English breakfast, or fry up as we also call it. Full English breakfast consists of, bacon, egg,sausages, beans, black pudding. Some people like to a hash browns as well.
I don't know if it's just my family, but we'd often have bubble and squeak with a full English, instead of hash browns. With mushrooms and toast/fried bread too, of course. We used to do just one grilled tomato because my mum was the only one who liked them.
I thought some more may have been mentioned, such as Fish and Chips, meat pies, sausage rolls, I thought they would be more common, and they are also common here in Australia.
The look on your face at the mention of "congealed pigs blood" 😂 Ye it don't sound too good to be fair, but honestly it's delicious 🤤 It's quite common to have it with your Full English Breakfast, doesn't get any better than that. 🤤🤤🤤 Also in my 33 years of existence not once have I ever heard to it be called "sausage toad" 😂
The proof is in the pudding literally, these are geographical foods in UK , certain areas they are a staple food , 2 million tins of Baked bean a day ,,they are popular everywhere,,Bubble n Squeak mainly in London , Haggis obviously Scotland , Toad in the whole is everywhere too, Black Pudding is everywhere especially with a Full English Breakfast, Mince Pies everywhere at Christmas, Deep fried Mars bars Scotland/ North England, you should try them all to see why they are onxthis list , my favorite is Black Pudding least Deep mars,
I've actually seen videos from a few American TH-camrs who have recently visited the UK and they all said they were a bit skeptical about trying black pudding and haggis, having tried it they actually quite liked it, so don't knock it until you've tried it.
"Spotted" is a reference to the dried fruit in the pudding (which resemble spots). "Dick" and "dog" were dialectal terms widely used for pudding, from the same etymology as "dough" (i.e., the modern equivalent name would be "spotted pudding").
Black Pudding is actually a really tasty food, and often included during full english breakfasts, with fried bread and a bunch of other foods... and from what i remember it's actually pretty good for you too :)
UK is the land of pudding and beans. Sweet and savory. These are all common foods, but haggis is mainly found in Scotland. We think US meat is bad because of hormone treatment and chlorine washes.
You can't get true haggis in The States because lungs as an ingredient is banned as unsafe. There are plenty of Scots alive today (lol) that can dispute that idea.
U Will differ with you on that one even before christianity people's used to pray to their God up on the Mountains and offer sacrifices like slaughtering of goat and cows Nothing is new in this world
One of my favourite meals growing up in Yorkshire was from the fishshop and was called a scollop special it consisted of a large t cake or bread bun with a large deep fried battered potato that was disc shaped with a pile of chips on top with gravy as a sandwich a dark savoury gravy that would soften parts of t cake to perfection

I love yorkshire pudding!! There is a British Pub where I live (Ontario Canada) that serves pulled roast beef in a yorkshire pudding bowl, it's amazing!! I was shy to try black pudding because the description didn't appeal to me either, but then I realized that I love beef gravy smothering everything (especially the beef yorkshire bowl mentioned above) and gravy is just boiled & thickened blood. With this in mind, I finally tried it and it was great.
Looking at your reactions to Brits eating 'offal', such as haggis ingredients and steak and kidney pie, I'd love to have seen you react to liver and onions! 😂
Omg... Liver! Haven't had that in decades! My Mum would dip it in flour, then beaten egg, then dried paxo (sage and onion stuffing) and then fry it. Accompanied by fried onions and other veg... Sadly (and oddly!) the supermarkets near my childhood home made things like kidneys and liver super expensive for the amount you got. It was actually better value (apparently) for Mum to buy a joint of meat to roast so we could get more meals for the money!
Black Pudding is a wonderful dish, especially for breakfast with eggs. I'm Canadian; and there is a British family in town who run a restaurant called "Great British Grub"; and their full-service breakfast has black pudding. It's amazing! Also, the term "pudding" in Britain can mean nearly any kind of food that is not a whole vegetable or rack of meat - so any casserole-type dish that is not also classed under "pie", and is as often savoury, rather than sweet.
It amuses me when Amerucans recoil in horror at the idea of eating things like black pudding or haggis, yet will happily chomp down hot dogs made from God knows what leftover bits of a carcass.
I eat black pudding with a full English breakfast all the time. What a lot of people from the US can't get their heads around is that a lot of foods in the UK were created out of need and not choice. During WW2 when there was severe food rationing in the UK, every scrap had to be used. You couldn't just throw food away. People here were on the brink of starvation for much of the war as many of the imported food supplies we rely upon were cut off from us by the U boats on the Atlantic that continually sunk ships carrying supplies to the UK. This was Hitler's aim. To starve the UK into submission. This is also the reason why the UK has this false myth of only having bad or bland food. Because UD GIs stationed in the UK during WW2 took their experience of British cuisine home and told their families, relatives etc how our food was at that time but left out the fact that we was under severe rationing and most food stuffs were almost completely impossible to get. Even basics like eggs were rationed to one egg per adult per week. This was a wartime necessity if we wasn't to completely run out of food as the UK doesn't grow enough to feed all it's citizens and has always relied upon food imports to make up the demand difference. It's a consequence of being a small island with limited agricultural land available. As a legacy we still today eat a lot of foods such as steak and kidney pie. The kidney was added in times of hardship to bulk out the pie and use less of the valuable, less available steak. We continue it today just as a tradition that has endured.
Although I agree with the generality of your comments, Black Pudding (or some variant thereof) dates as far back, to when humans first began eating pigs. I don’t doubt that it was as popular then, as it is now.
After his (Hitler) failure to invade us, by bombing (Blitzkrieg) Us into submission, helped very much by Commonwealth, Polish, and friends.

@@iriscollins7583 the bombing wasn't Blitzkrieg. That was the tactic of using combined arms, with armoured forces punching a hole, supported by highly coordinated close air support, with rapid advancing mechanised infantry following up to exploit the breakthrough. The later stage of the Luftwaffe bombing campaign was called the Blitz, and is actually what saved the UK. Because the bombing switched from military targets to civilian, when the military targets were close to total destruction in the South.
You’re not wrong but the wars weren’t our only time of hardship - think serfdom with the local lord taking his share of the food for his family and soldiers and not reducing it in bad years - it gets really interesting when you look at what is considered really posh food in any particular era was the hardship food from a few generations prior.
Not many people know this but meat originally meant food of all types. Fascinate people at those posh dinner parties with that fact ("One man's meat is another man's poison" makes sense- food allergies)
It normally vegetarian suet these days, thank goodness. I can't remember the last time I looked at the ingredients on the side of a packet of mince pies and saw "beef suet".
Mince pies contained meat, and were oval shape, like a manger. During the Commonwealth Cromwell banned mince pies, so the shape became round and the filling of apple or whatever fruit was available during winter. Puritan ban complied with, meaning of the mince pie preserved by and for ordinary people.
Tyler, my wife and I go on about six cruises a year because that how British people live life - well a few of us. On the last days of a cruise we say "back home soon and then wonderful baked beans on toast" The USA version of beans is revolting so you must only use British baked beans. I must now go and make some beans on toast with grated cheese! And Bubble and Squeak is even better!
Bubble and Squeak is the sound it makes when the cabbage is frying in the potato mixture, we also have a cake in north east England called a singing hinny named by the noise it makes when cooking, Yorkshire pudding is not Sweet it is a savory dish made from a baked batter mixture
No you can have afternoon tea, which includes finger sandwiches with crust removed, follow with cakes, and scones with Cornish cream and strawberry jam.
In Russia we have a dish similar to Black pudding and it is "Bloody salami" or "Krovianaya kolbasa" as we call it. It's tasty! And we often eat liver, kidneys, stomachs, lungs, ears, legs with hooves, udder and testicles but hardly ever ox tails. And I wonder why!
What most people in the US and in Germany call a pudding, is technically speaking a flummery (Flammeri in German), a starch-based, sweet, soft dessert. It is similar to custard in the UK. Puddings in the British Isles are sweet and/or savoury dishes-cooked or baked. They are much more traditional and often go back to mediaval times. I remember my first cooking lessons in Germany, in the early Seventies: One of the first dishes we learned to cook was a flummery and we were told by a very old lady teacher that this was not a pudding-even though everybody would call it so.😄
Black pudding is amazing. My parents didn't tell me what it contained when I was a kid, when they told me I couldn't really care because it tastes so good.
If you ignore what its made of, Black Pudding is actually really nice especially as part of a full English Breakfast where you can mix it with beans and dunk it into the yolk of a fried egg! 😁
Pudding often doesnt mean sweet things in the English language. Thats just an Amercian thing its exclusive. Also, you guys eat the organs, the FDA just dont make them tell you....
Mince pies have been eaten as part of a traditional British Christmas since at least the 16th century. Back in the 16th they were savoury and made of a spiced, sweet minced meat mixture (often lamb), but they no longer contain meat at all, they are now made with sweet mincemeat, a mixture of dried fruits, sugar, spices, and some contain brandy. Mince pies are a Christmas tradition. I like mine warmed up, with heavy (double) cream poured over the top. It tastes of Christma spices. It’s a nostalgic thing to eat at Christmas, they are everywhere in shops when Christmas is approaching. Some are Viennese, some have white icing on the top. It isn’t something I would choose to eat any other time of the year. Only Christmas time.
The main appeal of beans on toast is how cheap and quick it is! A tin of beans, a couple of slices of bread and a bit of cheese/butter is easily under £1 total and only takes minutes to prepare. Think of it as home-made fast-food! I think a McDonalds range of "McBeans on McToast" would do quite well in the US 😉
Surprised that this isn't known as much in USA. I was brought up on beans on toast and my Dad used to call it the cowboys breakfast, so I always thought it was typically American. Sadly, as I got older, the beans make me have stomach ache, so I can't eat them anymore.
Curried beans are great, you can make them easily and they spice up a jacket potato quite well. Cheesy beans are great but avoid adding too much blue cheese as it’s quite strong. It is possible to make beaked bean bread and have it as part of a Full English Breakfast, you can even get baked bean recipe books to try stuff out! Beans go well in pita bread and a little cheese on top makes it really tasty too.
Black pudding is actually really good and widely eaten all over Europe. I've had variations of it in Argentina and Mexico, too. Morcilla it's called in Spanish, if I remember correctly.
The word "Pudding" derives from the French word "Boudin" meaning Sausage in a casing (traditionally intestines) and Suet Puddings were traditionally wrapped in cloths and then steamed or boiled in a similar way to the sausage in its casing. Over time, "Pudding" became used synonymously with "Dessert" in the UK, and apparently after moving to the US it devolved to refer only to a specific type of dessert, which seems to be somewhere between a cold Custard, a Blancmange, and a Mousse.
Dessert in upper class households in the UK only refers to a piece of fruit (eaten with a knife and fork) at the very end of the meal. Of course, to everyone else, the words dessert and pudding are interchangeable.

When I went to USA I asked for a chicken salad sandwich, In Australia that would be Chicken lettuce Tomato Cheese maybe beetroot , what I got was A bit of chicken in mayonnaise. So I found that strange.
the mistake is ordering a chicken SALAD sandwich, if you had ordered a chicken sandwich, you would have gotten a sandwich with a piece of chicken, lettuce , tomato and you will be asked if you wanted to add cheese to it, and the menus in the US says what is in the chicken salad sandwich.
Chicken salads and tuna salads are generally made with some mayo, pickle relish, sometimes grapes and celery and even sliced almonds. Other ingredients may be used as well. You can get the salads on their own, on lettuce, or as a sandwich filling with or without lettuce. Chicken salad would not be called a chicken sandwich in the U.S. - those are generally chicken breasts, and we do not call those a chicken burger either. @@healingandgrowth-infp4677
Black Pudding for me is an essential component of a full English breakfast, along with bacon, pork sausages, baked beans, hash browns, mushrooms and scrambled eggs.
For 40 years of my life I would not eat blackpuding because I knew what it was made from. Ordered a breakfast roll and it was part of it. Now I like it.
Chitterlings (chitterlins') , hog moss, , hog head cheese ham hocks ( pigs' trotters) , salt pork , anything used as a means of flavoring savory dishes in the south or soul food is not that unusual to hear even if a person doesn't eat them.
Yeah.... "Pudding" in the UK is not just a desert food. It also describes food that goods with your main meal. Some of these foods are not "common" but all are known. I think this shows that we use all the animal so as not to waste the food.
How do you hear someone say "yorkshire pudding" then immediately start saying "yorkSHIRE" pudding, Your own country has a state called New Hampshire lmao

Actually it has been proven that haggis was created by the English many years before Scotland developed a taste for it. Deep friend Mars bar is undoubtedly Scottish though, and utterly rancid.
Haggis tastes great, I particularly like the breakfast version which is sliced and grilled and becomes crispy on its exterior. Stake and kidney pie is delicious too, with mashed tatties and gravy. Bubble and squeak is a side dish in place of veg and tatties, usually, but it can be a brunch dish with an egg on top. If you put a pancake batter in the oven it rises to become Yorkshire pudding. So toad in the hole is sausages in batter. If you tasted Black pudding without knowing what was in it you'd have no idea it contained blood because that's just not what it tastes like. In my opinion it's delicious, especially Shetland Black Pudding. I love Tyler's sense of humour.
People Eat Black Pudding Here in the UK with a Full English Breakfast. And to be honest it doesn't taste bad. Hopefully you get the point with the pudding part as @SirBradiator said below.
Most savoury puddings inherit their name from Medieval times, which was often in the form of a sausage ….. mince meat, as in mince pies, has a similar origin, no meat included now and often includes vegetarian suet
I am actailly German, but we have "Blutwurst" (Blood sausage) too - and I like it. I mean I do not eat it daily, but every once in a while I really get sort of the feeling I need it. Like with liver. Usually I try food from the countries I visit since I think it is sort of a nice thing to get a look into the culture. whilst in America I got served Snake - I was ot aware t was snake - it tasted actually lile chicken
Black Pudding is delicious. Don't let the fact that it is made out of blood put you off. The French have a similar thing called Boudin Noir, or Blood Sausage. Also Steak and kidney pie is very tasty, the meat is cooked in a rich gravy.
The British eat food with ‘organs’ in them (we call it offal) because of WWII I think when our food was rationed (and continued to be for years afterwards). The older generation were brought up eating anything they were given and the recipes were passed down through families - I actually don’t eat black pudding but my husband does and kidneys add a lovely flavour to a steak pie. During the war, meals made from ‘pig’s trotters’ and other seemingly inedible foods ( like neck end and tripe) were very common and appreciated - you should look into our war time rations which continued for a long time afterwards. I remember my father-in-law telling me that as a lad he was sent to the local market at closing time to pick up all the vegetables from the floor like trodden on cabbage leaves!
ok so pudding is a tricky word over here on this side of the pond. basically it has a couple of meanings, it means the sweet course at the end of the meal (desert to you) and it can also mean anything cooked traditionally in a pudding bag, like many steamed puddings. then you have the outliers of black pudding and yorkshire pudding...it's just a name. but what you call pudding we don't really have a word for, i think the closest thing we have to it is angel delight.
I've eaten most of these dishes in the last week. Yorkshire pudding is like a savoury pancake. Eaten with your Sunday Lunch. UK beans are completely different to US beans. UK beans are served in tomato sauce and not sweet. Black pudding and haggis are lovely but put people off because of the ingredients.
@@lynnepashley4281 savoury means not sweet. Yorkshire pudding has no sugar in the ingredients and no sweet toppings added to it, whereas pancakes usually have sweet toppings.
I don't know if your pancakes are the same as ours, but it is the same batter mix. Only you pour over the sausages and bake. Yorkshire puds are mainly served with roast beef.
Tripe is one I won’t eat. I do love toad in the hole, Yorkshire pudding, pork pie, fried tomatoes, scones, custard, and good old fish and chips. Bubble and squeak is yummy. I grew up in a British household in Canada so I ate a lot of British food. My mum made a steak and kidney pie once and she cut the kidney up into tiny pieces so I couldn’t find it. It quite good my mum added mushrooms to it too.
Kidney's actually lovely; I have it in stew quite often. Liver is also alright, but we don't have that as much. Its not uncommon to see things like kidney, liver, tongue, tail, heart, and lung in the meat aisles of our supermarkets.
Black pudding is delicious. Hundreds of years ago, the "puddings" were the name for the offal of an animal. Hence, puddings were originally savory dishes made from offal. The word evolved over time to primarily refer to sweet dishes/desserts but in the UK and Ireland the name remains for a wide range of savory foods.
Love all these. Personally can't see what all the fuss is about. If an animal dies for us to eat then it is only right to use as much of it as possible. Black pudding by the way is very good for those who lack iron in their diet. If some Americans think these are disgusting, they need to take a look what pointless additives and products that are allowed in their food and drink that are banned around the World.
It might not sound like it, but Black Pudding is genuinely seriously delicious. It's like a really good, slightly sweet sausage. It also goes very well with eggs - a favourite breakfast/brunch of mine is a toasted English muffin with a slice of black pudding and a poached egg on top. It's truly incredible.
I was actually stirring a pot of beans on the stove when I watched this is honestly to Sunnyside up fried eggs on top of two slices of buttered toast with baked beans, cooked with a knob of butter and a healthy squirt of HP sauce. You cannot beat it.
Black.pudding on a cooked breakfast is amazing!! Don't knock it until you try it! Also when Brits refer to pudding it does not necessarily mean sweet it can also mean savoury such as Yorkshire pudding. Same as mince pie you can get a savoury pie with grounded beef mince and gravy or the mince pie we eat at Christmas which usually has winter fruit,s spices, suet and alcohol .
A little black pudding with full English is the best :) I too had the impression that he was likening all "puddings" onto each other, like you're all ordering dessert on one person chooses icecream and another chooses black/yorkshire pudding 😂😂
"Pudding" in the UK does not always mean dessert, Yorkshire Pudding and Black Pudding are savoury dishes
Pudding was applied to anything that was put into a bag and boiled (or some variation of that idea).
Also Steak and Kidney Pudding - yummy!
yorkshire pudding can be savoury or desert, try it with butter and jam on it its great
And of course, they could have put Steak and Kidney Pudding instead of pie to confuse him even more!
you should attempt to make your own yorkshire pudding
and record your efforts for youtube
Our baked beans have much more flavour than in the USA. They are cooked in a thick tomato sauce full of flavour and really good on toast. You really need to come to the UK and try some of these
So right, our beans aren't sweet like Boston Baked Beans.
You do know that the Heinz company in Wigan buy all the beans from America. so its not our baked beans, its our baking their beans lol
Italians make the best baked beans.
Almost All The American's That Uploaded Video's To TH-cam, Say That The British Bean's They Try Are A Lot Better Than American Bean's Because IN The US They Put So Much Sugar In They Foods,!!!!!!!. We Have Reduced Salt And Sugar Amounts In The UK In Recent Years,!!!!!!!?,.
Very true especially with cheese
Haggis is a very rare scotish anilmal. It's legs on one side are shorter than the other side, so it can remain upright when climing around the mountains of scotland. Hunting parties go out every year to catch and kill a haggis on new years day. The innards of the Haggis are removed and cooked up in time for Burns night, and the body of the Haggis is turned into a set of Bag Pipes.
Isn't it a type of bird, similar to a goose ... hence the name the "Ha-Goose"?
Its true
It used to be eaten all over the UK in the past and was first mentioned in and English cookbook. Nothing Scottish about it.

@@robinho1978. I think the American ‘pudding’ is that stuff like Instant Whip, if that’s still around.
Black pudding is so underated its freaking amazing
It is seasoned with salt and black pepper, and often lightly spiced, usually with allspice.

black pudding isn't English it's scottish
I said I would never try it ever soon as I tasted it its bloody lush lol
It is fucking beautiful
I am Canadian. My Mom served us beans on toast. We liked it. But I never knew it was from Britian.
In the UK "pudding" can be sweet or savoury and covers a multitude of foods. Yorkshire (pronounced "York-sher") Pudding is not a sweet pudding but a savoury batter pudding which can be served with meat dishes or can be filled with sweet fillings to make it a sweet pudding.
Bubble and squeak is usually fried in a frying pan. As you cook it and shape the vegetables together into a patty, it hisses, squeaks, pops and bubbles a little. Great fun!
Bubble and Squeak is made from leftover vegetables which are then fried into patties.
@@veronicawilliams7427
It's not only left over vegetables these days
But you didn't say ANYTHING the person above didn't say
I can't understand why you would comment
I eat black pudding quite often, it is considered pretty normal in Grimsby where I live.
And dudley
As a Brit, now living in the USA, I will tell you, that black pudding is actually, surprisingly, really really tasty! The contents put me off trying it for many years, but when I did eventually get around to trying it, I loved it & YES, it is a British staple when it comes to a Sunday full English breakfast!
Yes, I used to like black pudding until my brother told me what it was.
And really high in Iron. For obvious reasons!
I tried black pudding once, I didn’t like it, it was barely in it that I didn’t like.
The "yuk" reaction when finding out that's what black pudding is, just staggers me. The meat "juices" in the roasting pan are "blood" and so damn tasty you always want there to be more, often better tasting than the roast. So a food item made wholly of "meat juices" is fantastic 😁
@@MKR5210 no, the red juices that come out of meat is called myoglobin, which I know _sounds_ like something to do with blood, but what it actually is, is protein mixed with water. There are three major components to blood that do not exist in myoglobin - red cells, the red colour in myoglobin comes from the protein - plasma which is a urine coloured liquid and the collection of immune cells and clotting factors which are collectively known as the buffy coat. Between them, along with water. these make up 99.9% of blood and none of it exists in myoglobin!
Don't knock it until you've tried it.
And, don't take the names we give meals quite so literally (us Brits are rarely direct).
Yorkshire Pudding (it's NOT a pudding in US terms) is a pancake batter cooked in the oven. Add sausages at the same time and you get Toad in the Hole.
Beans on Toast is a National favourite and are nothing like what the US has. Also, don't try to recreate British meals using US ingredients, it will fail.
BTW: UK definition of....
Pudding: Hot - pie, crumble or cake (Treacle Sponge, Spotted Dick, Bread & Butter pudding, Egg Custard)
Dessert: Cold - trifle, ice cream etc
Pudding (US) is basically a Mousse. The UK have at least 20 flavours. On this, we got you beat!
UK food, because of much stricter food safety standards, is way more healthy than pretty much all US Foods. Almost no 'additives' and certainly no High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Best comparison is a Big Mac & Fries US vs UK (Check the ingredients)
This lovely man confuses me and I am an American. My mom uses turkey gizzards in her stuffing, or if you call it dressing and her gravy. I don't know why he doesn't know about meat pies. We have something called pigs in a blanket which is stuffed cabbage. Scottish eggs are yummy. I don't know what is happening in America anymore. As far as Americans being afraid of seafood is a joke. Lol He makes me laugh. Many American's eat savory pudding's. Sadly younger Americans can think of only cold pudding. Warm chocolate pudding is better than cold pudding.
@@christineperez7562 Here, Pigs in a Blanket is a sausage wrapped in bacon 🥓 😋. A particular favourite for Christmas Dinner.
Mince pies are pretty common from September through New Year's. On their own or hot with Custard.
Meat pies are an every day staple for some and certainly come with Mash and proper gravy.
And Puddings 🤔

to answer your question,
Black pudding :
Black pud is an integral part of any northern full English breakfast
Mince Pie :
These things are what most people wait all year for, it isn't Christmas without at least one (boxful)
They don't actually contain any meat anymore.
Bubble and Squeak :
Popular in some midland regions (and i think also in Scotland) it isn't a super common option as not a lot of people enjoy cabbage but it is a great way to use leftovers, thus it's typical to follow after a Sunday roast.
Toad in the hole :
The Yorkshire pudding is not a dessert dish, it is a savory pudding.
toad in the hole is sausages cooked in the Yorkshire pudding batter
"not something you would find in America..." - **Points at you with a corndog** -
Steak & Kidney pie :
these are a delight, often also called a steak and kidney pud just to confuse you there, these do in fact contain offal (organs) but this is just another bit of meat and one that contains some great flavors and nutrition. consider also liver and bacon which is another great and simple dish.
Spotted Dick :
This one is a pudding, yes that word means the same over here as well, we also joke about it, it's ok.
it's not a bad pudding, not too dissimilar to other fruit baked cakes and it goes really well with either cream or custard.
Haggis :
quite regional, this one is more a Scotland exclusive, based on your reaction to the kidney pie, i doubt this will tickle your tastebuds
lots of organs stuffed into a single organ and steamed, it's a meaty flavor and not a bad one if i'm honest but certainly not common across the UK
Baked Beans :
Yep, it's popular, especially among the younger ones as it is cheap and versatile, as the video showed, it can be added to things, mixed with other cooking or simply enjoyed on it's own with toast.
Steak and kidney pie and steak and kidney pudding are different - the former is made with shortcrust pastry and baked, the latter with suet pastry that you steam
@@lynnedelacy2841
My bad , you're right, Thank you for the correction.
As a Londoner, I can tell you bubble & squeak is definitely eaten down South.
Mince pies are delicious. I could eat them all year round, not just at Christmas. 😊
Yes so could I wish they would sell them all year like Hot cross buns

Me too 🎉😊
The original mince pies contained meat as well as all the dried fruit and spices.
I love the arrival of the first mince pies in the supermarket...kicks off the Xmas season
Hi Tyler, another American Reactor I follow has just discovered that the way that you use cutlery in the US, differs from the rest of the world - that is to say, we do not cut everything up and then scoop with the forks, one food at a time only - we hold our forks the other way up and use the knife to push small parts of several types of food onto the back of the fork - never putting the knife down until the meal is finished... Now the reason that's important is that we usually combine several types of foods into each mouthful we eat, in order to either enhance or dull the foods with the stronger flavours - whereas if using the fork to scoop up food, you might eat mouthfuls of different foods in rotation...
You ask about the popularity of black pudding, which is a good example of such a stronger flavour food, that your taste buds might reject when it is eaten alone. Eaten in mouthfuls with a few baked beans in tomato sauce and perhaps some egg-yolk however, it can be a very tasty breakfast item that is either fried or grilled with bacon, sausages, eggs, maybe haggis, bubble and squeak, tomatoes. mushrooms, beans and maybe fried bread or potato scones. It can also be deep fried in batter and served with chips - that's fries to you... It is found right across the UK in both forms, but is more popular in Northern England and Scotland, with the very best black pudding being made within a 15-mile radius of the town of Stornoway, which is on one of the outermost islands in the extreme northwest of Scotland. Within Scotland it may be served with, or as an alternative to, sliced haggis - though this can also be boiled, steamed or baked whole and then ceremoniously stabbed and spooned out into portions. It's not absolutely exclusive to Scotland; but is rarely found elsewhere except as a stuffing with a dish such as Chicken Balmoral - in which case it is usually also served with whisky sauce. As "Address to a Haggis," is one of the many poems written by Robert Burns (1759-1796), who is regarded as Scotland's Bard and commemorated on the anniversary of his birth each 25 January, it is normally the centrepiece of quite formal meals known as "Burns Suppers," and served with "champit (mashed) potatoes and mashed neeps (suede)".
Dick has the same meanings here, be assured. Unlike fags, which over here might be rolled and smoked...!
Black pudding is legitimately amazing. Truly food of the gods.
Ha Ha, I always use that phrase about black pud ‘ food of the gods’…😂…..it’s so delicious….
What you need to remember is that Britain had over 14 years, from Jan 1940 to Jul 1954, when food was rationed. As a kid growing up in the late 1950s, I had beans on toast regularly at tea time, and as a student at college is was nearly a staple.
Best part you can eat them cold straight from the can🤤😋
Beans on toast is my number 1 favourite quickie meal. Couple of slices of buttered toast, pour over a tin of Heinz baked beans hot from the microwave and Bob's your uncle! It's so easy it feels like I'm cheating.
@@qwadratix
Next time add a runny fried egg, or two, on top, yummy.
Never buy Heinz, overpriced and over here to misquote a wartime saying.
Food is no longer rationed but we still LOVE our baked beans. That say it all.
I've lost count of how many people knock black pudding and when they try it they like it
I didn't dislike it until I ate it. 46 years later, I still remember how bad it was.
i was same with beetroot
growing up and working on ships it was all tinned
when i was 50 had some fresh and boy i am hooked now
I didn't think I'd like it, I tried it once...and I was right, I really didn't like it.
Haggis on the other hand, (from what I remember, it was years ago) was alright.
I dont think its that great tbh, not awful just makes a breakfast slightly worse if its added in my opinion
I'm English, i've never liked it
Black pudding is acturally really good, you would be surprised how good it is. Definitely popular in the UK
I have never laughed so much as watching your reactions to UK traditional food! Just remember that not all "puddings" are desserts! Black pudding is savoury, spicy, peppery and delicious dipped in runny egg yolk, served with fried bacon and mushrooms.
Same, he's got an incredibly funny manner and thought process.
@@janettesinclair6279 So entertaining is Tyler..Love him and his immense interest in all things British..
Pudding, traditionally something cooked in a pudding bag (Christmas Pudding) or case in an animal intestine or stomach (sausages, black pudding, haggis). Today it is most often used as a name for a dessert item (even some that have never seen a pudding bag or intestine) but can also be savoury items.
We have bubble and squeak occasionally. We use left over veg and mash potato from a roast Sunday dinner, and mix the veg and mash together (not just cabbage) and fry it in a fry pan. It can have a nice crispy bottom, we eat it with sausages and gravy. Or left over Sunday roast beef or pork and gravy.
Americans can pronounce New Hampshire correctly but they pronounce the shire for everything else. So odd. So in Yorkshire it's pronounced york-sher
I was just thinking the exact same 😁
I say the same thing and I'm American, I just don't get why the shire in New Hampshire is pronounced correctly but as soon as Americans see shire in the names of other English counties, it's "shy-er"and not '"sheer". And yes though I've never been to any of the shire countries, I do pronounce the suffix the proper British way.
@@danielleporter1829 well done you're part of the minority. Watching Americans try to say Worcestershire sauce is hilarious. I haven't heard one say it right lol. By the way we all just call it wus-ta sause. Much easier. Check out the history of the sauce it's fascinating.
I'd write it as Yawk-sha, or the Americans will try to pronounce the ЯЯЯЯs until they sound like motorboats (or pirates).
@@neuralwarp your right. I was saying it to myself and it is sha
Most of the cabbage you eat in the US is found in coleslaw. I love scotch eggs, toad in the hole and black pudding. We eat a lot of offal in Europe, using all the animal goes back centuries.
Our beans don't have molasses in them, just a tomato sauce and when served on wholemeal toast, they are a good source of protein.
Yorkshire pudding (it's the same batter that is used to make crepes) doesn't contain any sugar so it can be eaten with a main meal or you can add syrup and eat it as a dessert. Bubble and squeak is a great way of using leftovers.
Indeed, Baked Beans on Wholemeal toast is a complete protein, you could literally survive indefinitely on it. Add a little grated Cheddar and you have a genuine Super Food!.
So funny watching an American hear about our foods😂
I think pretty much everything on that list is fairly common in the U.K. and they are all delicious 🤤
Your reaction was the same as mine when I heard about USA’s biscuits and gravy. But I made myself try it when I was over there, and OMG, I’m literally coming back to the US of A just to eat more of your biscuits and gravy xx
So there are 5 types of biscuits and gravy I grew up on. You most likely tried the most popular version of biscuits and sausage gravy, but there is also milk gravy (basically take the sausage part out and you have milk gravy), tomato gravy, corn beef hash gravy, and then my least favorite (and not as well known I don't think) chocolate gravy.
The Heinz factory in Wigan - the largest baked bean factory in the world - makes more than three million cans of beans every 24 hours.

Kudos to you! You'll become an honorary Brit soon enough ;)
I've noticed that too with a lot of American reaction channels. They tend to start off as loud and boisterous then calm down and become more sensible as they go.
How often have you been to the US? How many Americans do you associate with?
@@lovesgucci1 I've associated with more than enough Americans to get a feel for what they're like on average, and as if that weren't enough, they have plenty of media/social presence to make that point without anybody saying a single word.
A majority of Americans are relatively uncultured - i.e. unaware of cultural differences outside of their own local experiences - and are geographically illiterate.
A significant proportion of Americans (40%, that is) never actually leave America, even for holidays... and most of those that have been out of the country have gone to Mexico or Canada.
To put this into perspective for you, out of 67 million foreign holidays (not counting business trips, of course), 40 million were to Canada (which is basically identical culturally to the USA), and 15 million were to Mexico. >~4 million to the UK,

In Australia, we call them fruit mince pies, due to the fact that we already have meat pies. Both forms are delicious!

Both are situated in the British Isles, which stems from Brythonic Isles, Greater (Great Britain) and Lesser Brythonia (Ireland).
@ Scotland has its own distinct cultural identity. As do England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Just because we share a landmass does not make us the same. They are their own country with their own customs that happens to be governed in Union with 3 other countries. They have a right to be proud of the achievements of their citizens and to claim them as Scottish. Besides, England, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own lists of inventions that are just as impressive.

Are the Norse and the Finns the same as the Swedes because they all live on the Scandinavian peninsula?
Black Pudding is beautiful, don’t knock it before you’ve tried it.
Black Pudding is traditionally eaten at breakfast time, on a full English breakfast, or fry up as we also call it.
Full English breakfast consists of, bacon, egg,sausages, beans, black pudding. Some people like to a hash browns as well.

The proof is in the pudding literally, these are geographical foods in UK , certain areas they are a staple food , 2 million tins of Baked bean a day ,,they are popular everywhere,,Bubble n Squeak mainly in London , Haggis obviously Scotland , Toad in the whole is everywhere too, Black Pudding is everywhere especially with a Full English Breakfast, Mince Pies everywhere at Christmas, Deep fried Mars bars Scotland/ North England, you should try them all to see why they are onxthis list , my favorite is Black Pudding least Deep mars,
I've actually seen videos from a few American TH-camrs who have recently visited the UK and they all said they were a bit skeptical about trying black pudding and haggis, having tried it they actually quite liked it, so don't knock it until you've tried it.
Jps?
@@toddlerj102 yes as well as Magic Geekdom and also Midwest Americans.
"Spotted" is a reference to the dried fruit in the pudding (which resemble spots). "Dick" and "dog" were dialectal terms widely used for pudding, from the same etymology as "dough" (i.e., the modern equivalent name would be "spotted pudding").
Black Pudding is actually a really tasty food, and often included during full english breakfasts, with fried bread and a bunch of other foods... and from what i remember it's actually pretty good for you too :)
Very fatty isn't it?
Somebody send this guy some mince pies, scotch eggs and such, I'd love to see a video of him eating them :)
Christmas Mince Pies (sweet Mince) or mince meat mince pie lol (savory)
@@glenmartin7978 both just make sure he puts the double cream on the mince pie...
Mincemeat is sweet, minced meat is savory.
But do not expect the poor man to eat a fried Mars bar or a black pudding!
@@alansmith2426 The person who takes fried Mars Bars to the US will become a billionaire...
UK is the land of pudding and beans. Sweet and savory. These are all common foods, but haggis is mainly found in Scotland. We think US meat is bad because of hormone treatment and chlorine washes.
As well as excess sugar, polyunsaturated fats, and animal welfare being a but dodgy in America !!
You can't get true haggis in The States because lungs as an ingredient is banned as unsafe. There are plenty of Scots alive today (lol) that can dispute that idea.
Love Hagis in KENYA some Communities they have it even Irish stew
@@stevenmutumbu2860 I'm pretty sure these traditions were inherited from Scottish Presbyterian missionaries😃
U Will differ with you on that one even before christianity people's used to pray to their God up on the Mountains and offer sacrifices like slaughtering of goat and cows Nothing is new in this world
One of my favourite meals growing up in Yorkshire was from the fishshop and was called a scollop special it consisted of a large t cake or bread bun with a large deep fried battered potato that was disc shaped with a pile of chips on top with gravy as a sandwich a dark savoury gravy that would soften parts of t cake to perfection
yup TV was invented by a relative of mine... John Logie Baird. Many other great inventions were created in the UK. The Worldwide Web, the telephone, modern economics, the ATM machine, the steam engine, the light bulb (no it wasn't thomas eddison. Joseph swan did it 10 years before eddison), stainless steel, tarmac, cats eyes, the ATM, and many many more ;) .RE: beans on toast.. I think american beans tend to be in a bbq sauce while uk beans tend to be in tomato sauce (Heinz baked beans is the most popular)
I love yorkshire pudding!! There is a British Pub where I live (Ontario Canada) that serves pulled roast beef in a yorkshire pudding bowl, it's amazing!!
I was shy to try black pudding because the description didn't appeal to me either, but then I realized that I love beef gravy smothering everything (especially the beef yorkshire bowl mentioned above) and gravy is just boiled & thickened blood. With this in mind, I finally tried it and it was great.
Has a lot of iron in it mate.
Greetings from Yorkshire btw, I visited Toronto about 8 years back :)
@03:57. "Did the UK actually invent all that stuff?". YES! And hundreds of other groundbreaking things that changed the world.
Looking at your reactions to Brits eating 'offal', such as haggis ingredients and steak and kidney pie, I'd love to have seen you react to liver and onions! 😂
i said to the wife, if you want to find out if i can actually throw a knife....
Or a nice bit of tripe, or perhaps some tongue.
or tripe and onions
What lambs fry? It's lovely if done right, how about tripe?
Omg... Liver! Haven't had that in decades! My Mum would dip it in flour, then beaten egg, then dried paxo (sage and onion stuffing) and then fry it. Accompanied by fried onions and other veg... Sadly (and oddly!) the supermarkets near my childhood home made things like kidneys and liver super expensive for the amount you got. It was actually better value (apparently) for Mum to buy a joint of meat to roast so we could get more meals for the money!
Black Pudding is a wonderful dish, especially for breakfast with eggs. I'm Canadian; and there is a British family in town who run a restaurant called "Great British Grub"; and their full-service breakfast has black pudding. It's amazing! Also, the term "pudding" in Britain can mean nearly any kind of food that is not a whole vegetable or rack of meat - so any casserole-type dish that is not also classed under "pie", and is as often savoury, rather than sweet.
slight correction. Pie usually means with pastry, pudding like steak and kidney pudding is made with suet
It amuses me when Amerucans recoil in horror at the idea of eating things like black pudding or haggis, yet will happily chomp down hot dogs made from God knows what leftover bits of a carcass.
You mean Americans
@@stephensnell5707 no they means Amerucans.
I eat black pudding with a full English breakfast all the time.
What a lot of people from the US can't get their heads around is that a lot of foods in the UK were created out of need and not choice.
During WW2 when there was severe food rationing in the UK, every scrap had to be used. You couldn't just throw food away. People here were on the brink of starvation for much of the war as many of the imported food supplies we rely upon were cut off from us by the U boats on the Atlantic that continually sunk ships carrying supplies to the UK. This was Hitler's aim. To starve the UK into submission.
This is also the reason why the UK has this false myth of only having bad or bland food. Because UD GIs stationed in the UK during WW2 took their experience of British cuisine home and told their families, relatives etc how our food was at that time but left out the fact that we was under severe rationing and most food stuffs were almost completely impossible to get. Even basics like eggs were rationed to one egg per adult per week.
This was a wartime necessity if we wasn't to completely run out of food as the UK doesn't grow enough to feed all it's citizens and has always relied upon food imports to make up the demand difference. It's a consequence of being a small island with limited agricultural land available.
As a legacy we still today eat a lot of foods such as steak and kidney pie. The kidney was added in times of hardship to bulk out the pie and use less of the valuable, less available steak. We continue it today just as a tradition that has endured.
Although I agree with the generality of your comments, Black Pudding (or some variant thereof) dates as far back, to when humans first began eating pigs. I don’t doubt that it was as popular then, as it is now.
@@MrPercy112 Definately.
After his (Hitler) failure to invade us, by bombing (Blitzkrieg) Us into submission, helped very much by Commonwealth, Polish, and friends.
@@iriscollins7583 the bombing wasn't Blitzkrieg.
That was the tactic of using combined arms, with armoured forces punching a hole, supported by highly coordinated close air support, with rapid advancing mechanised infantry following up to exploit the breakthrough.
The later stage of the Luftwaffe bombing campaign was called the Blitz, and is actually what saved the UK.
Because the bombing switched from military targets to civilian, when the military targets were close to total destruction in the South.
You’re not wrong but the wars weren’t our only time of hardship - think serfdom with the local lord taking his share of the food for his family and soldiers and not reducing it in bad years - it gets really interesting when you look at what is considered really posh food in any particular era was the hardship food from a few generations prior.
Mincemeat used to be made of meat 400 years ago but it’s gradually evolved into dried fruit and suet.
Not many people know this but meat originally meant food of all types. Fascinate people at those posh dinner parties with that fact ("One man's meat is another man's poison" makes sense- food allergies)
It normally vegetarian suet these days, thank goodness. I can't remember the last time I looked at the ingredients on the side of a packet of mince pies and saw "beef suet".
Mincemeat pies are horrible! Run away!!!
Mince pies contained meat, and were oval shape, like a manger. During the Commonwealth Cromwell banned mince pies, so the shape became round and the filling of apple or whatever fruit was available during winter. Puritan ban complied with, meaning of the mince pie preserved by and for ordinary people.
@@sandyhenderson441 So, basically, at one time they were edible? 😂 tyvm for that tid bit of history. Love it! 💜
Tyler, my wife and I go on about six cruises a year because that how British people live life - well a few of us. On the last days of a cruise we say "back home soon and then wonderful baked beans on toast" The USA version of beans is revolting so you must only use British baked beans. I must now go and make some beans on toast with grated cheese! And Bubble and Squeak is even better!
Why are you keen to tell us how often you go on cruises?
Bubble and Squeak is the sound it makes when the cabbage is frying in the potato mixture, we also have a cake in north east England called a singing hinny named by the noise it makes when cooking, Yorkshire pudding is not Sweet it is a savory dish made from a baked batter mixture
Bubble and Squeak with lamb is good!
My mum used to cook it money night for tea after Sunday dinner left overs. Yum.
Not only is black pudding common and widely eaten, I actually had a black pudding scotch egg last week and it was fantastic!
No you can have afternoon tea, which includes finger sandwiches with crust removed, follow with cakes, and scones with Cornish cream and strawberry jam.
In Russia we have a dish similar to Black pudding and it is "Bloody salami" or "Krovianaya kolbasa" as we call it.
It's tasty!
And we often eat liver, kidneys, stomachs, lungs, ears, legs with hooves, udder and testicles but hardly ever ox tails. And I wonder why!
Ewww!
Most of these british foods are common and popular. I highly recommend Bubble & Squeak btw, especially with fried eggs for breakfast
And a few slices of fried spam
@@wallythewondercorncake8657 Surely bacon would be better. Not something processed.

What most people in the US and in Germany call a pudding, is technically speaking a flummery (Flammeri in German), a starch-based, sweet, soft dessert. It is similar to custard in the UK. Puddings in the British Isles are sweet and/or savoury dishes-cooked or baked. They are much more traditional and often go back to mediaval times. I remember my first cooking lessons in Germany, in the early Seventies: One of the first dishes we learned to cook was a flummery and we were told by a very old lady teacher that this was not a pudding-even though everybody would call it so.😄
Black pudding is amazing. My parents didn't tell me what it contained when I was a kid, when they told me I couldn't really care because it tastes so good.
If you ignore what its made of, Black Pudding is actually really nice especially as part of a full English Breakfast where you can mix it with beans and dunk it into the yolk of a fried egg! 😁
It's just part of an animal I don't understand the squeamishness.
Full Scottish breakfast actually
Stick it on a roll with square sausage and brown sauce 😋
I would be very surprised if anyone in England, able to eat solid food, has not eaten bubble & squeak!
Fyi it's delicious.
I love black pudding, and willingly eaten it since 1955. It's really good for you with plenty of iron in it. 🇬🇧
Pudding often doesnt mean sweet things in the English language. Thats just an Amercian thing its exclusive.
Also, you guys eat the organs, the FDA just dont make them tell you....
Mince pies have been eaten as part of a traditional British Christmas since at least the 16th century. Back in the 16th they were savoury and made of a spiced, sweet minced meat mixture (often lamb), but they no longer contain meat at all, they are now made with sweet mincemeat, a mixture of dried fruits, sugar, spices, and some contain brandy. Mince pies are a Christmas tradition. I like mine warmed up, with heavy (double) cream poured over the top. It tastes of Christma spices. It’s a nostalgic thing to eat at Christmas, they are everywhere in shops when Christmas is approaching. Some are Viennese, some have white icing on the top. It isn’t something I would choose to eat any other time of the year. Only Christmas time.
Black pudding is an essential item in a full English breakfast and is delicious.
The main appeal of beans on toast is how cheap and quick it is! A tin of beans, a couple of slices of bread and a bit of cheese/butter is easily under £1 total and only takes minutes to prepare. Think of it as home-made fast-food! I think a McDonalds range of "McBeans on McToast" would do quite well in the US 😉
maybe better in uk
Also you can add things such as corn beef, peppers, onions and it becomes something more than plain Baked beans on toast
Surprised that this isn't known as much in USA. I was brought up on beans on toast and my Dad used to call it the cowboys breakfast, so I always thought it was typically American. Sadly, as I got older, the beans make me have stomach ache, so I can't eat them anymore.
And you can always spice it up with some garam masala 🤤
Curried beans are great, you can make them easily and they spice up a jacket potato quite well. Cheesy beans are great but avoid adding too much blue cheese as it’s quite strong. It is possible to make beaked bean bread and have it as part of a Full English Breakfast, you can even get baked bean recipe books to try stuff out! Beans go well in pita bread and a little cheese on top makes it really tasty too.
Black pudding is actually really good and widely eaten all over Europe. I've had variations of it in Argentina and Mexico, too. Morcilla it's called in Spanish, if I remember correctly.
Yea it's a thing in Norway too!
The word "Pudding" derives from the French word "Boudin" meaning Sausage in a casing (traditionally intestines) and Suet Puddings were traditionally wrapped in cloths and then steamed or boiled in a similar way to the sausage in its casing.
Over time, "Pudding" became used synonymously with "Dessert" in the UK, and apparently after moving to the US it devolved to refer only to a specific type of dessert, which seems to be somewhere between a cold Custard, a Blancmange, and a Mousse.
We have boudin sausage here in the states, it's a white sausage with meat and rice made in Louisiana, given the French influences of the state.
I love Blancmange. It was always a treat at our family birthdays served from a bunny mold when i was a child. Ah!, memories!
Dessert in upper class households in the UK only refers to a piece of fruit (eaten with a knife and fork) at the very end of the meal. Of course, to everyone else, the words dessert and pudding are interchangeable.
5:10 It's not exactly the most popular thing, but, it is definitely more common than I thought. I was very shocked at the idea of it, tried it as a novelty, and I loved it. Definitely a recommended buy
When I went to USA I asked for a chicken salad sandwich, In Australia that would be Chicken lettuce Tomato Cheese maybe beetroot , what I got was A bit of chicken in mayonnaise. So I found that strange.
the mistake is ordering a chicken SALAD sandwich, if you had ordered a chicken sandwich, you would have gotten a sandwich with a piece of chicken, lettuce , tomato and you will be asked if you wanted to add cheese to it, and the menus in the US says what is in the chicken salad sandwich.
@@marydavis5234 the mistake is ordering food in america with it's chemical hormone abused meat
And why say salad
If it comes without
It is baffling
Chicken salads and tuna salads are generally made with some mayo, pickle relish, sometimes grapes and celery and even sliced almonds. Other ingredients may be used as well. You can get the salads on their own, on lettuce, or as a sandwich filling with or without lettuce. Chicken salad would not be called a chicken sandwich in the U.S. - those are generally chicken breasts, and we do not call those a chicken burger either. @@healingandgrowth-infp4677
Black Pudding for me is an essential component of a full English breakfast, along with bacon, pork sausages, baked beans, hash browns, mushrooms and scrambled eggs.
fried bread no F.E.B. is complete without fried bread
Fried slice in the bacon fat beats out hash browns every time
Why is Corned Beef Hash and Beans never on any list? That's a game changer
For 40 years of my life I would not eat blackpuding because I knew what it was made from. Ordered a breakfast roll and it was part of it. Now I like it.
Tyler: America doesn't have strangely named food, unusual food or food made out of organs.
Rocky mountain oysters: Hold my beer, I got this...
Chitterlings (chitterlins') , hog moss, , hog head cheese ham hocks ( pigs' trotters) , salt pork , anything used as a means of flavoring savory dishes in the south or soul food is not that unusual to hear even if a person doesn't eat them.
Jerky
Which ironically means foolish
Yeah.... "Pudding" in the UK is not just a desert food. It also describes food that goods with your main meal.
Some of these foods are not "common" but all are known.
I think this shows that we use all the animal so as not to waste the food.
How do you hear someone say "yorkshire pudding" then immediately start saying "yorkSHIRE" pudding, Your own country has a state called New Hampshire lmao
Blood pudding is delicious!!
The "Full English " breakfast is my favorite ( complete with Blood pudding and beans) , yummy !!
It is also quite popular in Canada (must be the British ancestry).
I'm from England and love your channel. Never fails to make me laugh 😂 keep them coming
The list of inventions on number 9 are all specifically Scottish inventions (Not British as a whole).
Actually it has been proven that haggis was created by the English many years before Scotland developed a taste for it. Deep friend Mars bar is undoubtedly Scottish though, and utterly rancid.
Haggis tastes great, I particularly like the breakfast version which is sliced and grilled and becomes crispy on its exterior.
Stake and kidney pie is delicious too, with mashed tatties and gravy.
Bubble and squeak is a side dish in place of veg and tatties, usually, but it can be a brunch dish with an egg on top.
If you put a pancake batter in the oven it rises to become Yorkshire pudding. So toad in the hole is sausages in batter.
If you tasted Black pudding without knowing what was in it you'd have no idea it contained blood because that's just not what it tastes like. In my opinion it's delicious, especially Shetland Black Pudding.
I love Tyler's sense of humour.
Sausage, basically (made with lamb, grain and herbs) Read any recipe and it sounds awful, but we still ALL love sausages?!
@@antiqueinsider Also Pork and Beef.
I grew up eating steak and kidney puddings and yourkshite puddings......
People Eat Black Pudding Here in the UK with a Full English Breakfast. And to be honest it doesn't taste bad. Hopefully you get the point with the pudding part as @SirBradiator said below.
Something I'm surprised wasn't on the list was apple pie as after all it's an English dessert
Most savoury puddings inherit their name from Medieval times, which was often in the form of a sausage ….. mince meat, as in mince pies, has a similar origin, no meat included now and often includes vegetarian suet
Black pudding is awesome, but for me it must be well done.
I am actailly German, but we have "Blutwurst" (Blood sausage) too - and I like it.
I mean I do not eat it daily, but every once in a while I really get sort of the feeling I need it. Like with liver.
Usually I try food from the countries I visit
since I think it is sort of a nice thing to get a look into the culture.
whilst in America I got served Snake - I was ot aware t was snake - it tasted actually lile chicken
black pudding doesn't taste much unlike a burger to me, it's mostly the herbs you are tasting with a bit of meatiness :)
Black Pudding is delicious. Don't let the fact that it is made out of blood put you off. The French have a similar thing called Boudin Noir, or Blood Sausage.
Also Steak and kidney pie is very tasty, the meat is cooked in a rich gravy.
The British eat food with ‘organs’ in them (we call it offal) because of WWII I think when our food was rationed (and continued to be for years afterwards). The older generation were brought up eating anything they were given and the recipes were passed down
through families - I actually don’t eat black pudding but my husband does and kidneys add a lovely flavour to a steak pie. During the war, meals made from ‘pig’s trotters’ and other seemingly inedible foods ( like neck end and tripe) were very common and appreciated - you should look into our war time rations which continued for a long time afterwards. I remember my father-in-law telling me that as a lad he was sent to the local market at closing time to pick up all the vegetables from the floor like trodden on cabbage leaves!
ok so pudding is a tricky word over here on this side of the pond. basically it has a couple of meanings, it means the sweet course at the end of the meal (desert to you) and it can also mean anything cooked traditionally in a pudding bag, like many steamed puddings. then you have the outliers of black pudding and yorkshire pudding...it's just a name. but what you call pudding we don't really have a word for, i think the closest thing we have to it is angel delight.
I've eaten most of these dishes in the last week. Yorkshire pudding is like a savoury pancake. Eaten with your Sunday Lunch. UK beans are completely different to US beans. UK beans are served in tomato sauce and not sweet.
Black pudding and haggis are lovely but put people off because of the ingredients.
Americans are right wusses when it comes to food. If it doesn't come in a can, or have peanut butter on it they don't want to know.
What is savoury about Yorkshire pudding it’s made with the same ingredients as pancakes but more eggs so it rises in the oven
@@lynnepashley4281 savoury means not sweet. Yorkshire pudding has no sugar in the ingredients and no sweet toppings added to it, whereas pancakes usually have sweet toppings.
@mary carver I agree but I was just trying to relate it to something stateside.
Liver and Onions.
I don't know if your pancakes are the same as ours, but it is the same batter mix. Only you pour over the sausages and bake. Yorkshire puds are mainly served with roast beef.
Tripe is one I won’t eat. I do love toad in the hole, Yorkshire pudding, pork pie, fried tomatoes, scones, custard, and good old fish and chips. Bubble and squeak is yummy. I grew up in a British household in Canada so I ate a lot of British food. My mum made a steak and kidney pie once and she cut the kidney up into tiny pieces so I couldn’t find it. It quite good my mum added mushrooms to it too.
What about chitterlings?
Got be on par with tripe?
Kidney's actually lovely; I have it in stew quite often. Liver is also alright, but we don't have that as much. Its not uncommon to see things like kidney, liver, tongue, tail, heart, and lung in the meat aisles of our supermarkets.
Black pudding is delicious.
Hundreds of years ago, the "puddings" were the name for the offal of an animal. Hence, puddings were originally savory dishes made from offal.
The word evolved over time to primarily refer to sweet dishes/desserts but in the UK and Ireland the name remains for a wide range of savory foods.
Love all these. Personally can't see what all the fuss is about. If an animal dies for us to eat then it is only right to use as much of it as possible. Black pudding by the way is very good for those who lack iron in their diet. If some Americans think these are disgusting, they need to take a look what pointless additives and products that are allowed in their food and drink that are banned around the World.
I believe haggis and black pudding are actually banned in the US, at least to import.
@@chloeg.1923 Doesn’t surprise me.. Yet they douse their chicken in chlorine.. 🙄🏴🇬🇧
It might not sound like it, but Black Pudding is genuinely seriously delicious. It's like a really good, slightly sweet sausage. It also goes very well with eggs - a favourite breakfast/brunch of mine is a toasted English muffin with a slice of black pudding and a poached egg on top. It's truly incredible.
I was actually stirring a pot of beans on the stove when I watched this is honestly to Sunnyside up fried eggs on top of two slices of buttered toast with baked beans, cooked with a knob of butter and a healthy squirt of HP sauce. You cannot beat it.
Black.pudding on a cooked breakfast is amazing!! Don't knock it until you try it! Also when Brits refer to pudding it does not necessarily mean sweet it can also mean savoury such as Yorkshire pudding. Same as mince pie you can get a savoury pie with grounded beef mince and gravy or the mince pie we eat at Christmas which usually has winter fruit,s spices, suet and alcohol .
A little black pudding with full English is the best :)
I too had the impression that he was likening all "puddings" onto each other, like you're all ordering dessert on one person chooses icecream and another chooses black/yorkshire pudding 😂😂
