      For Americans, who literally eat cake at breakfast, I guess it seems healthy. It is not though. In what this girl would be eating (82 g), there's already 9 g of white sugar (plus caramel colouring... for some reason). But let's face it. What she's eating is about 82 g of cinnamon toasts crunch, not 82 g of cornflakes. Those would contain 24 g of pure sugar (and 4 poor grams of protein). With 340 hollow calories. Which is the equivalent of two glazed doughnut... She's basically eating two glazed doughnuts for breakfast. Altough, if you eat two doughtnuts, you will at least get more protein.

      Fantastic episode of Tasting History by Max Miller up this week discussing how the original "health food" Corn Flakes were developed and how Kellogg's brother added sugar and other ingredients to increase sales because the original were meant to be a bland health food. Of course, that was before we figured out how un-nixtamalized corn is nutritionally inert, and bred corn to have even more sugar, and also admitted that corn in and of itself is pretty shit nutrtionally in general as well (especially as a grain), while simultaneously being subsidized into oblivion, becoming literal "plebian feed", making the poor fat and unhealthy in just a few generations. "Yay Corn!"

    As a British person (not from London), I personally wouldn’t have chips on a full English breakfast.
    My ideal full English would be - Sausage, Egg, Beans, Tomato, Bacon, Hash Brown, Black Pudding and Fried Bread with some brown sauce on the side. Perfection.

    • @lizvickers7156
      @lizvickers7156 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Me either. Having chips as a standard on a breakfast is the restaurant or cafe way of just bumping it up to make it look like you have more food. Not my cup of tea.

    • @watcherzero5256
      @watcherzero5256 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agreed, should be hash browns though mash is an acceptable alternate. Chips shouldnt be used and I have only ever seen it done abroad where foreign hotels are trying and failing to do an English Breakfast. Props to a hotel I stayed in Japan for effort though, they had home made baked beans in their English Breakfast.

    • @RyanG144Videos
      @RyanG144Videos หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@watcherzero5256 I typically associate mash and chips more with dinner. But Hash Browns at breakfast is great. I have also seen places add hash browns to burgers, which I do also like. But primarily I would eat Hash Browns at Breakfast or Brunch (late breakfast/early lunch).

    • @borleh
      @borleh หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mash on a full English is just as unacceptable as chips, more so even. In fact I'd go further and say in all my years I don't think I've ever even seen actual mash on a full English, possibly only if it was used as an ingredient and turned into a dodgy hash brown or bubble & squeak. I've seen chips of course, but usually where the cafe is trying to pad out their monster breakfast option with cheap calories, like Liz said above.
      For a "full" full English I'd want bacon, sausages (not the crap Richmond/chip shop type like in the video either thanks!), eggs, tomato (prefer grilled halves but I don't hate plum either), mushrooms (sliced or button but a big field one is just as good), hash browns (but only if bubble isn't available!), black pudding, beans, fried bread. Side plate with toast, a decent mug of tea and possibly even a glass of orange juice! Then preferably not too much else to do for the rest of the day!

    As a South African, I'm more familiar with the UK breakfast options than the US and I prefer Apricot Jam on toast/fried bread as it's a popular option here. Also, beans on toast aren't quite a popular breakfast option but I usually have it with an over-easy egg.

    I'd love to see a regional episode - in Scotland, tattie scones (also known as potato scones) are an iconic part of a cooked Breakfast. Haggis is also sometimes served but I think that may be more of a Glasgow/Edinburgh thing.
    I am from North East Scotland, and I have to mention butteries (also known as rowies). They are an iconic breakfast food out here. Not served as part of a Scottish breakfast. Usually just it's own thing that you can add butter or jam too.

      As somebody born in the 1960s, just some 40 years after cornflakes were invented (and probably 10 years before they arrived in the UK), I can kinda understand how my parents (in their 20s) could be convinced that they were the modern healthy option.
      I ate cereals from the late 1960s into the 1990s before I decided they were crap. Haven't eaten them since (but if I saw a box of 'grape nuts', another American import, I might be tempted).

    I don't know why they only counted the American adult population for their coffee-per-day, when Harry used the entire UK population. If you use the entire US population (~333.3 million in 2022), you get ~1.2 cups of coffee per day, and if you use only the UK adult population (~45.2 million in 2022) you get ~2.2 cups of tea per day.
    Some other fun data, according to a fact sheet from the "Tea Association of the USA", Americans drank 85 billion cups of tea in 2021, which is about ~232 million per day (~0.7 per person), but 75% of that was as iced tea. And according to the British Coffee Association, the UK drank ~98 million cups of coffee per day in 2021, which ends up at about ~1.5 cups per capita, or about ~2.2 cups per adult. So it would seem the UK is more addicted to caffine, rather worrying.

    Harry, I have to correct you, a fried slice can be deep fried, but it is usually overly oily on the plate and can be easily overcooked leading to having the same tenderness and flexibility as a drain cover... deep fried is rarely "delicious"
    What you want is shallow fried - I've *never* had a bad shallow fried slice, it's never dripping with oil or grease (the best is made with beef dripping), and can be easily cut without spalling shards of crumbs in every direction

    Both regions have good and bad food aspects.

Now things seem much more different from what I watch on TH-cam, and hear from friends in England. We mainly shop in Germans supermarkets here in the USA so we enjoy multi-national foods--PS Grape jelly is vile....it's the worst. Anyone who is American and only eats grape or strawberry, try some new flavors.

    On the Honey Nut Cheerios your getting confused with Kellogs Honey Nut Loops "Lets loop together" which did have nut in the name despite not including any nuts because they looked like the nuts you would put on a bolt. They eventually dropped the nut and were just Honey Loops probably to avoid the confusion that they contained nuts.

    You can tell how unhealthy the cereal is by its recommended portion size. For example, lots of porridge can range from 40g to 60g per portion, but 30g of Corn Flakes clearly demonstrates it's quite unhealthy due to its macros, namely sugar.

  • @helvete983
    @helvete983 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think a shout out to the bacon Butty/Bap/Roll is needed as a breakfast staple, on the go it's common to order a bacon butty or sausage butty. (A butty is essentially bacon or sausage in a soft fluffy bread roll usually with ketchup or brown sauce)
    Another thing is condiments, it can be divisive whether you put brown sauce or red sauce (Heinz Ketchup) on your plate or butty.
    I think it could be a regional thing but I'd be pretty upset if I ordered a full English breakfast and it didn't come with tomatoes (Tinned are my preference) or mushrooms. But often you get a choice of beans or tomatoes.
    Black Pudding is common throughout Europe, often called Blood Pudding or Blood sausage. I've never understood why some people (my wife included) won't at least try it, If you put any thought into how most of the protein we eat is processed it's equally gross.
    Finally if you put chips onto a full English breakfast then you are a monster.

      We put butter on toast first before the fruit. I’m from the south central region so I grew up with preserves more than jam or jelly. I remember the kitchen being boiling hot for almost a week while we all made pickles, preserves, fruit butters and occasionally a jelly or jam depending. Plum jelly & cactus jelly for the most part. We made apple butter, peach preserves, pear preserves, fig preserves and preserved nut balls. as a kid I remember oats and grits with a spoon of preserves and a bit of butter on top.
