  1. The kids in these videos are pupils in $30,000 per year private schools. They are in no way “typical” British kids. Having said that, I have seen a ton of these vids, with the same kids sampling American food. It’s cute and it attracts an audience. No harm done.

  2. “Americans are lucky”

    When it comes to cuisine, you’re damn tootin’.

    There is nothing better than biscuits and gravy done right. Used to visit a Louisianna Cajun restaurant in LA a few times a week, that was their specialty.

    Have you seen English breakfasts? Bangers, baked beans, fried tomatoes, and eggs murdered right in front of you. No wonder these kids are in heaven.

  3. They need to give those kids a real southern treat like a hot, buttered biscuit (split, with generous amount of butter melted in the middle) smothered in sorghum syrup (“open face”) with a side of creamy cheese grits. That would make them abandon that British accent for a southern drawl.

  4. That’s the beauty of America, and a curse.
    I can have legit Italian, Thai, French, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Polish (BTW Polish food is awesome) or whatever in America if I seek it out.

    The curse is all the fat assed Americans.
    It’s all quantity of food and sedentary lifestyles.
    My grandparents were never fat.
    They ate tons of fat but didn’t sit on their asses.
    Pure ingredients.

  5. ^^^^^ It’s not that simple. Starches turn to sugar. Alcohol turns to sugar. Sugar makes you fat. But not sugar out of your sugar bowl.Low Carb diets work because they force your body to burn fats, and sugars. You can’t go wrong avoiding carbs and starches. If you train hard you may need some carbs.

  6. ecp, it’s neither.
    It’s quantity vs NEAT + activity.
    You can eat whatever if it’s used for energy.
    KETO and all that is just a gimmick.
    They work for other reasons like caloric deficit, a change or disruption to the norm, not because they are some magic bullet.

    I can eat NOTHING BUT CARBS and keep my six-pack.

  7. In my opinion KETO works for a large percentage of the population because if force the average couch potatoes body to stop burning carbs and to start burning stored fats and sugars. It’s a good diet. A healthy diet.

  8. Just think, back in the day farmers would get up, work for two hours, then sit down for breakfast, then go back to work.
    They consumed 2/3rds of the calories that we do today and life is much less laborious.
    It’s a numbers game.
    The body adapts and that’s the only reason we are a society of obese but will become a society of morbidly obese soon enough.

  9. Fun videos. Have seen many of them and always fun to watch. Delicious food is universal. These elite British kids have good “taste”. Funniest part is the realization American food is superior to their typical bland, mish-mash cuisine.

  10. That was fun to watch. The Brit adults are usually grumpy, arrogant, dismissive of anything they are not used to, and at times downright annoying.
    The responses from those kids were natural. God bless them.
    Hopefully they don’t get that typical Brit personality when they grow up.

  11. My Irish hubby and I were at a breakfast buffet years ago. He was really impressed with the quality and variety of foods… except he did mention that the cream of wheat was the worst he’d ever had. That’s because it’s grits, I said, and happily scraped them onto my plate.

  12. In Heaven, the British are the police, the French are the cooks, the Germans are the administrators.
    In Hell, the Germans are the police, the French are the administrators and the British are the cooks.

  13. The food in England SUCKS! Of course they’re going to love American food.
    The only thing that’s edible is the Fish n Chips served in newspaper on the street. Had to get a $1300 meal for 3 (the Courvoisier did the bill in) for a decent meal in London.

  14. My brother-in-law when he was in the Air Force was stationed in England for a while once told me about how the English would boil hamburgers which didn’t sound none too appetizing to me. They also have spotted dick which just by the name itself is something that I would never eat.

    Gee I thought you died 64 years ago! How are “uncle Joe” and FDR?

    I have not been able to get ‘real’ hush puppies in So Cal since Johnny
    Reb was forced out of business by “Bush Republicans”!

    Johnny had an ol fashioned gravel driveway and inside sawdust on the deck.

    Been forced to make my own last few years. Fortunately we’ve had a deep fryer since marriage.
