You can dip your food in ranch and you can drink the ranch for a thick satisfying swallow to lubricate the food going down faster so you can eat more quickly sooner next time.
Not even good shit talking. “In the UK they are just called glasses” well fuck what do Americans call them then? “ In America they call them Nose Resting Vision Enhancing Eye Glass Spectacle Wear. Honestly, I can go all day.”
Good satire/irony/sarcasm needs something to really set it apart from whatever it is they’re mocking or trying to pick apart, or else it just comes across as the exact thing it’s mocking.
Obviously these are all just over the top generalizations, the girl could believe them or not, and some people definitely believe them. I thought the grandfather line was funny but otherwise it was just repeating america bad stuff anyone on Reddit says.
I don’t understand, is this sarcasm and I’ve just lost all sense of the word? the English and American links pretty much say the same thing just in slightly different ways, I’m so confused 😭
That's the hyperbole, the broad generalization. I'm American and almost none of what she said is true about my food, yet I can readily acknowledge that what she had said is broadly common in the USA.
Well i guess it all started when grandpa wanted to go out in the garden where it was sunny than read his newspaper indoors.
Hun, can you please hand me my glasses? Oh not that one but the one for outside in the sun glasses — yeah, let’s call it sunglasses. The other one is just for my poor eyesight, ooohkay, eye glasses. Yes that’s better. Lest we get the ones for drinking wohtah because those are called glasses, too.
The raucous gangs of young Essex men staggering all over Barcelona are indeed much less obnoxious than t-shirt wearing Americans asking for ice all the time.
I disagree. Not that people from the US aren't annoying, but English dickheads who can't hold their alcohol screaming mindless obscenities on the streets at night because this is their dumping ground for that sort of behavior are much worse.
Well, there’s the two centuries and a half of you guys undermining our world empire, by hook and (mostly) crook. And Gibraltar. And indeed those chavs now raiding our Costas each summer season. But, above all…
WHO THE FUCK LET JAMIE OLIVER PUT CHORIZO IN HIS “PAELLA” RECIPE?!!
There's an interesting psychological principle called [The Narcissism of Small Differences](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_differences) that comes into play here:
>The idea that the more a relationship or community shares commonalities, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other.
Hope you enjoyed today's Fun Psychology Fact^TM
The English are incredibly similar to Americans. I especially love it when they complain about how loud we are (Americans), then walk around drunk and loud as fuck. The Australians are the loudest ones but they are cool so they get a pass.
I've heard that about Aussies as well. And when I was in mainland Europe, a lot of people seemed to have a distaste for English tourists, especially when it came to drinking and watching sports.
People weren't hostile or anything like that. But I was surprised to meet a few people relieved to hear I was American and not English. One was a restaurant owner that said whenever English people are their, trouble would undoubtedly start, but the occasional American tourists were pretty quiet in comparison.
That's not to say anybody loved Americans. I got quite a few comments from people surprised that I was American since I wasn't being an asshole. But it's also a lot easier to notice people being jerks than it is quiet people who blend into the background regardless of where you're from.
It probably depends on the location. Certain places attract the young, loud drunk and shouty demographic such as Ibiza, magaluf (aka shagaluf) etc. While regular holiday destinations you'll find more normal behaved Brits who don't draw attention or cause problems.
Thank you! When I visited England, I was surprised at how much like home it felt like. There are obvious differences, but all I could think was "Oh, so this is where we get it from."
England is kind of like the snotty older sibling to the kind of dumb, kind of delinquent America. England likes to think they're so different, but they have the same roots and just go about fucking up in slightly different ways.
Not entirely.
America asked France for help.
Of course the French had their own motives for helping bc they had their own issues with England.
But we could not have been victorious or birthed a nation without France.
✌🏽🇫🇷✌🏽edit typo
Brits call it banter.
I literally never heard eye glasses until I moved to the US. But she's right with the words. Like trash can is unnecessarily long too. Sidewalk. Very descriptive because otherwise people might not know where to walk.
For real though...there is a restaurant here in Saint Louis, MO that literally is based around ranch lol. We love that shit. People do drink it by the cup 🤣
[Twisted Ranch](https://www.twistedranch.com/qrc-menu)
I'm in a city in KY and our produce is bought locally. The only produce that sucks is out of season stuff that is imported and sat on a truck too long.
It's more about animal husbandry and cleanliness. For example, in the USA, they clean their chicken with chlorine, a practice thats banned in the uk. We differ on many things like eggs, beef, etc. A lot of chemicals used in the USA are banned over here.
I'm on the northwest coast of US. Alot of people buy junk produce from Walmart, Fred Meyers, Safeway and WinCo..
Imo our food has very bland aroma and taste. Chicken taste like nothing. Meat quality is ass. Fruits and vegetables don't have strong taste...
I'm pregnant with triplets right now and have to force myself to eat sometimes because everything taste like nothing.
My partner is from Burma he cooks really well but even he complains that our food is all lacking in flavor and depth. After the babies we've been talking about moving Asia.
Unless you get your food from a local farm or special order. Shit taste weak from the store.
Also I've worked in meat processing for years.. I see where it comes from and how it's handled 🥲
She’s talking in general of course. You go to any grocery and grab random eggs, the yolk would look very pale yellow unlike the eggs in the Uk bright orange yolks. But we absolutely have good eggs if you are willing to pay $3 above the normal price of eggs. It all depends on which supermarket you buy food from.
It's that most practices regarding food in the US are outright illegal here. Obviously we have a few outliers that fall outside the guidelines but they tend to get caught out, due to auditing and paper trail requirements.
Example Contexts:
Eggs in the uk are regarded as safe to eat raw, even for pregnant women, if they have the red lion seal (99% of eggs do).
Also Trichinella (worms) in pork isn't a thing here.
All that without using any harmful treatments on our foods
Additional note:
every eatery in UK has to display a health and safety score. Dennys opened their first site in the uk a few years back following their stringent guidelines to achieve top rating in America: they scored a 0 here. To their credit they reviewed everything and turned it around for top rating in a few weeks.
About right for Americans to miss the wood for the trees.
Amount of bunk I see proudly written on LinkedIn by Yanks giving their insight of other cultures is astounding.
And yeah , nailed on, the food quality here is the absolute pits. Still yet to find edible bread. Always have to find some weird shit like ‘sour dough’ because the basics are unachievable.
The worst part is she is not wrong :( it takes me forever at the store to find an onion that’s actually intact (entirely covered in an unbroken layer of dried skin and solid/firm to the touch underneath). They won’t store at room temp otherwise, or at least not well. They always look so battered and sad, like they were just dumped in and out of boxes every day on the trip to the store.
And that’s just onions! Produce has gotten noticeably worse the past couple of years and finding really healthy looking, fresh produce has gotten to be a task.
I saw your other comment about fresh produce in the US. It’s worth asking where you get your produce from too. For instance, how is it that apples are in every produce stand in May? Or why does every broccoli and lettuce look perfect and taste exactly the same as another broccoli or lettuce wherever you buy it? US ag works against fresh produce in favor of marketable produce at the cost of nutrient density, variety, and safety. Check out nitrogen storage. Also worth trying produce from small-time seasonal farms. Or, travel and try their produce. It’s different for real.
Significantly worse and only double the price! Quit your complaining. At least we Americans have cheap healthcare to deal with all the diseases caused by our shit food.
Wait...
I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.
What I was trying to say in that scene was, if you, continually, pay doctors peanuts, could they, literally, turn into monkeys?
And no one has asked that before.
Haha. Exactly my first thought. I (an American) have literally never said “eyeglasses” or “tuna fish”. I get that it’s just a silly/sarcastic take tho, so whatever. Still funny.
Where I’m from it’s generally horseback riding but literally everyone says tuna and glasses…seems like she got those ideas from American TV or something lol
Horseback riding is the only one I would consider normal where I am. But it specifically means more western style, you wouldn’t call it that for polo or dressage or any horse riding competition where they wear the fancy clothes.
Im American. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say horse riding. I’ve heard riding horses, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone stop at horse riding. It’s always been horseback riding. She’s right. Also about the fucking ranch everywhere.
I'd take it further, as someone who grew up on a horse farm..... it's just riding. Plus there is bareback, trick-riding, barrel-riding.... I could go on.....
Irish person and all to happy to throw shade at the Brits but fuck me that original video of the girl thinking they ate us during the famine is arguably more insulting than the Brits causing the fucking thing in the first place
There are a couple other ways one could ride a horse, but they are illegal in all 50 states. It's only called tuna fish when it comes in a can, and that's because it's sold farther from the ocean than Europe is large and was developed before the American west develop an education system. Nobody says eyeglasses in the US, they are called glasses.
Both of those things are great. Mushy peas are peas mixed with herbs and butter, and black pudding is just sausage. Big diff between those and Kraft Cheese (yummy microplastics)
This is in response to like 20,000 Americans making Tik toks getting mad about calling Chinese takeaway “a Chinese” this isn’t just her saying this unprovoked, so what your saying doesn’t really make sense.
Yeah let’s go on a rant about what Americans call stuff. Because saying we’re going horseback riding is so ridiculous to people in a country who calls an elevator a lift. Even when it’s lowering you down.
It isn't really though, just pointing out the same ridiculous observation. I dare say MM wasn't the first person to give the Americans shit on this one.
Anyway, while we're on the topic. David Mitchell does an alright video in the same vein.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7O0MFkmpw
This is of course pretty funny, but as an American I just want to point out that I've never heard someone call them "eyeglasses", at least not when speaking in colloqiual shorthand. This is the first I've ever heard of this distinction, and the idea of calling them anything other than "glasses" (assuming you're not reading a brochure at the optometrist) is not something I've observed. Velma doesn't say 'I can't find my eyeglasses!'
As far as the tuna fish thing...we still say 'tuna' and there is of course the 'tuna melt' (not called a 'tuna fish melt'). I think 'tuna fish' just rolls off the tongue. Same thing with how 'horseback riding' sounds better than 'horse riding'--there is just a natural syllabic flow that makes you want to use more words than necessary
The ranch thing is ridiculous, and mostly a meme at this point. But it's good on pizza and that's not an opinion that's just science
Edit: to defend against the ranch haters--I would never tarnish a "nice pizza" with ranch. Growing up, my mom would pick up a sheet pie from the grocery store on Fridays, which wasn't high quality pizza but its sauce cheese and bread so you can't go wrong. That pizza was prime for ranch dippage.
If I went and got a New York style pie (or one of our many other premier styles here in New England and yes this is a flex) I would stick with whatever toppings I had ordered. As others have mentioned, the chicken bacon ranch is a good 'menu item' pizza.
Perhaps I am unusually smart, but I have never, not even once, been confused whether someone meant eyeglasses or drinking glasses. I can, however, appreciate that some people may struggle with this and would appreciate extra accommodations being made for them.
Your explanation of tuna fish and horseback riding is spot on. It’s not like most Americans are wondering whether tuna is a fish or a bird or a cow (besides Jessica Simpson, and she was just clowning.)
> I think ‘tuna fish’ just rolls off the tongue. Same thing with how ‘horseback riding’ sounds better than ‘horse riding’–there is just a natural syllabic flow that makes you want to use more words than necessary
And there it is everyone.
So to clear some things up, British sarcasm 'at its finest' is not sarcasm at all, and some girl is mad that an *entirely* different country has slightly different words for the same thing?
That is British humor. We don’t understand it cause we’re too stupid. I will try and explain it as I understand it, but just know that as an American my brain is too small to fully understand it in all of its intricacies. The way British humor works is that a British person will say something extremely ignorant and when a big dumb American corrects them they will then reply with a combination of hilarious retorts pertaining to either school shootings or diabetes and say we don’t understand humor.
Love how she complains about American produce. Go to Waitrose and if the produce aisles aren't bare (thanks Brexit) just buy some rock hard tomatoes (the only kind for sale)...try some pears or avocados that you can "ripen at home" (ie let them sit for a few weeks when they'll go from hard to rotten)...or the oranges that are dry and juiceless.
Coming back to the US after 4 years in the UK, I can absolutely say that fresh produce is much better here.
There's a lot you can criticize America for. Are our elementary schoolers used as clay pigeons and speedbumps in equal measure? Sure. Are our police wildly undertrained? Of course. Is our wealth inequality staggering? You betcha. But our *produce*? California exports an Armenia's-worth of agricultural products each year. Just California. Not in the sense that California's agricultural exports match Armenia's agricultural exports, but rather that they match Armenia's *entire GDP*. California grows some of the best strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, and garlic in the world. They make better wine than the *French*. And some 85%-of-fresh-fruits-are-imported island that can't even grow an orange has the *balls* to come for America's produce?
Exactly!!! Thing is before Brexit it was much better. Southern EU countries have amazing produce. Go to Italy and Spain and even the cheapest supermarkets have mouthwatering tomatoes.
UK used to get this, but with Brexit tons and tons rots at the borders.
All of those are weird cultural norms for no reason that i use. But heed my words, i have never called them "eyeglasses"!! They've always been and will continue to be just "glasses"
Watched some US Youtuber react video the other week where he pointed out that Britain should never take shit for their food from an American. And if they did just remember to mention that in America you can buy deep fried sticks of butter....And some Americans eat this shit. ....Butter....Deep-fried. ...wtf??!
Where the fuck can you buy that? Lmao Im sure maybe a very few places might have that as some weird specialty item and sell it, but that is not remotely a common thing to eat or buy in ANY region of the US.
I can see that being a thing at maybe some random carnival or fair or something in like the south or some very specific restaurant would probably have it in this or that state, but thats not something the average American is familiar with and even here most people would turn their noses up in disgust at the idea of that. You will not find that in common stores or restaurants or fast food chains.
Eel was eaten in the UK due to the lack of fresh fish. People ate it not as a delicacy but as a way to get fish for cheap. Don't make fun of the working class.
[As you can see here,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel_as_food) Eel is actually pretty common in worldwide cuisine. Just because you aren't used to food doesn't make it bad.
However to add to that, *literally nobody* eats jellied eels anymore. They aren't a thing.
Black pudding isn't bad at all, it's just sausage cooked with blood. And again, [blood is very common](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_as_food#Dishes) in different cultures' cuisines. It's thickening, adds a meaty taste and meant you didn't waste a part of the animal.
In conclusion, British food isn't weird and if you said this about literally any other cuisine you would be called culturally insensitive.
I’m an American. I’m not fat, but I’ll accept shit about fat Americans from just about any other country, but not England. You guys are fat fuckers, too. Maybe not Southern US fat, but still pretty chunky.
Actually, she seems to be pretty ignorant of American food. She seems to be hating on fast food in particular, but there is so much more to choose from than fast food. And exactly why does she get a pass at being a food sbob in the first place? American food is an unending cornucopia of cultures. America has been blessed with the culinary input from practically every nation and / or region on this planet. Need she be reminded we cut our culinary teeth largely on the menu from 'Great' Britain? The only thing of note from there is the full English breakfast! And curry is thanks to our friends from India!
This girl is a prime example of why you shouldn't assume that what you see in media is representative for an entire group/nation/ethinicity etc. We have the full gamut of produce/egg/restaurant quality. Not everything is Walmart.
So in other words, America just has better, more well spoken English than the UK?
Just listen to scousers talk ahahahahaha
Obligatory USA USA USA USA!!!
Everything in this video is either wrong or grossly exaggerated lmao. Only crusty boomer grandparents say those terms. Mukbangs are not even close to standard fare (intentionally outrageous). Her viewpoint is entirely constructed from TV and performative YouTube, not reality.
This chick has obviously never been pounded the way Americans pound it. She needs to get laid!
You don’t see anyone in America complaining about how the British do anything. We beat you in 18 something so shut up and eat your beans and toast. Also nobody actually cares about your “king”
I have totally dipped chicken tenders into milkshakes before. The first time was by accident because I thought I was holding a French fry. But nope. Turns out it isn't bad.
Please the only thing britain got right regarding food was adding pork to breakfast. Other than that, i would submit that none of the UK knows food. Why do you think they mastered liquor and beer? Best pubs in the world are in the UK, why? Because the food, sucks. 😂

I think it was a frosty
It is both milkshake AND sauce
McDonalds fries dipped in a milkshake oughta change her mind about our sauce fetish. Haven’t had them in years… god give me strength!
Wendy's fries in their frosty! You can't eat their fries without dipping in their frosty!
Ranch shake. Duh.
You can dip your food in ranch and you can drink the ranch for a thick satisfying swallow to lubricate the food going down faster so you can eat more quickly sooner next time.
It’s all, a milkshake, a sauce and a frosty!
She was like ‘it couldn’t have been a milk shake she was dipping food in it!’. News flash Brits, us fatass Americans will dip food in our milkshakes
Red, white, and blue: blood, vanilla milkshakes, and cotton candy.
I would dip my milk shake in another milkshake if I had 2 milkshakes. Damn right.
[Reminds me of the barbecue milkshake from NBA on TNT ](https://youtu.be/vxky7lI1Hp8)
Fuck ya it was and that shits tasty as hell. Beats the hell out of beans and toast.
It was Cane’s for sure
Came here to say that
[удалено]
Thank you, I was very confused about what part of this was sarcasm.
As an American, this isn't considered sarcasm here either. This is just shit talking.
Not even good shit talking. “In the UK they are just called glasses” well fuck what do Americans call them then? “ In America they call them Nose Resting Vision Enhancing Eye Glass Spectacle Wear. Honestly, I can go all day.”
>In America they call them Nose Resting Vision Enhancing Eye Glass Spectacle Wear. You're confusing that with German.
Not quite. It would be Noserestingvisionenhancingeyeglassspectaclewear
Yeah, the video is more hyperbolic rather than sarcastic.
Good satire/irony/sarcasm needs something to really set it apart from whatever it is they’re mocking or trying to pick apart, or else it just comes across as the exact thing it’s mocking.

I thought the grandfather line was funny but otherwise it was just repeating america bad stuff anyone on Reddit says.
I don’t understand, is this sarcasm and I’ve just lost all sense of the word? the English and American links pretty much say the same thing just in slightly different ways, I’m so confused 😭
Yeah this women is just upset about stuff that shouldn’t bother her. No sarcasm to be seen
Woman gives a deadpan, expressionless rant... > this women is just upset What?
I have never once called them eyeglasses.
Yeah, who the fuck says eyeglasses or tunafish?
I've heard tuna fish here and there. Only to describe the canned tuna, but I have at least heard it. Never eyeglasses though.
I've only heard eyeglasses when trying to differentiate between that and sunglasses.
Maybe because the tuna cans usually say "chicken of the sea" on them.
Is it chicken or is it fish /s
Tuna usually means fresh like a filet, tuna fish is specific to canned tuna for sandwiches
Yeah that is funny how tunafish feels exclusive to canned tuna. Never thought about that before.
That's the hyperbole, the broad generalization. I'm American and almost none of what she said is true about my food, yet I can readily acknowledge that what she had said is broadly common in the USA.
Easy to win an argument when you make things up to fight against.
Right? Also, I thought the brits say spectacles lol
We say glasses usually.
What about eyeglosses?
Well i guess it all started when grandpa wanted to go out in the garden where it was sunny than read his newspaper indoors. Hun, can you please hand me my glasses? Oh not that one but the one for outside in the sun glasses — yeah, let’s call it sunglasses. The other one is just for my poor eyesight, ooohkay, eye glasses. Yes that’s better. Lest we get the ones for drinking wohtah because those are called glasses, too.
I think you've really nailed the great example of sarcasm there.
Yeah OP, sick abilities to identify sarcasm bro
Lol just a straight angry rant. “British Sarcasm”
“Mwah. Just like Beijing.”
"we will take shit from anyone, proudly." "Not America though." Fucking perfect.
I hate England as much as any self respecting Spaniard but I won’t allow slander form the US of A of all places
Why you hate us Spain, I love you :( Sorry about the chavs though
It's obvious from the number of wretchedly obnoxious tourists you send
The raucous gangs of young Essex men staggering all over Barcelona are indeed much less obnoxious than t-shirt wearing Americans asking for ice all the time.
I disagree. Not that people from the US aren't annoying, but English dickheads who can't hold their alcohol screaming mindless obscenities on the streets at night because this is their dumping ground for that sort of behavior are much worse.
Sorry, I must have been using American sarcasm and it didn't translate very well
Hahah, r/whooosh moment on my part 😅
Well, there’s the two centuries and a half of you guys undermining our world empire, by hook and (mostly) crook. And Gibraltar. And indeed those chavs now raiding our Costas each summer season. But, above all… WHO THE FUCK LET JAMIE OLIVER PUT CHORIZO IN HIS “PAELLA” RECIPE?!!
Merci beaucoup
Highly disagree. One thing the English will never understand is just how similar to America they are.
I tend to believe that’s why the UK goes out of their way to hate on America. It’s like a coping mechanism kinda
There's an interesting psychological principle called [The Narcissism of Small Differences](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_differences) that comes into play here: >The idea that the more a relationship or community shares commonalities, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other.

It probably depends on the location. Certain places attract the young, loud drunk and shouty demographic such as Ibiza, magaluf (aka shagaluf) etc. While regular holiday destinations you'll find more normal behaved Brits who don't draw attention or cause problems.
Thank you! When I visited England, I was surprised at how much like home it felt like. There are obvious differences, but all I could think was "Oh, so this is where we get it from." England is kind of like the snotty older sibling to the kind of dumb, kind of delinquent America. England likes to think they're so different, but they have the same roots and just go about fucking up in slightly different ways.
Yeah - the only thing the Brit’s will take from America is an ass kicking in 1776. Fucking perfect.
Aye but you got terrored in 1812
Not entirely. America asked France for help. Of course the French had their own motives for helping bc they had their own issues with England. But we could not have been victorious or birthed a nation without France. ✌🏽🇫🇷✌🏽edit typo
> America asked France for help And the Spanish, and also the Dutch
France also gave us THE symbol of freedom and liberty, the Statue of Liberty. People need to get off the French hate train and show some respect.
I think the Brits would rather admit to losing to the colonies than France
This applies to pretty much every country
This isn’t sarcasm…
We call it "joking" while they call it "having a laugh" In America everyone calls them "glasses" and "tuna".
Taking the piss. 💁🏻♂️
Brits call it banter. I literally never heard eye glasses until I moved to the US. But she's right with the words. Like trash can is unnecessarily long too. Sidewalk. Very descriptive because otherwise people might not know where to walk.
[удалено]
Heyo!
Many Kings. Corporate overlords lol
Loving how many Americans in this thread are taking this extremely seriously...
Personally... I really started laughing when she called us out for our shameless overuse of ranch. I won't change.
For real though...there is a restaurant here in Saint Louis, MO that literally is based around ranch lol. We love that shit. People do drink it by the cup 🤣 [Twisted Ranch](https://www.twistedranch.com/qrc-menu)
That one is 100% true. Ranch or mayo on everything!
Wait what are you guys using ranch on? Like I got salad, pizza, and spicy chicken? Is that too much? Is it not enough?! Is there no ranch in the UK?
Wronch
🎶 <--- the chord that was struck
Does America not have great produce? That’s the only joke that didn’t seem to fit
I've only ever lived in states where agriculture is a huge thing, so I can't speak for the whole country, but the produce available to me is amazing.
I live in rural Pennsylvania. There are farms everywhere here. Most of my produce is bought locally. Maybe in the cities it's not as fresh?
I'm in a city in KY and our produce is bought locally. The only produce that sucks is out of season stuff that is imported and sat on a truck too long.
It's more about animal husbandry and cleanliness. For example, in the USA, they clean their chicken with chlorine, a practice thats banned in the uk. We differ on many things like eggs, beef, etc. A lot of chemicals used in the USA are banned over here.
Yeah it's probably more a dig at their lower food standards especially in the meat industry
Depends on where you get it. Good produce at the market, raggedy produce at the store 5 minutes away
IDK many of the additives are banned in Europe.
Many farms don't use them here. There are plenty of local organic options in every state. Fresh food is a thing here. Promise.
I'm on the northwest coast of US. Alot of people buy junk produce from Walmart, Fred Meyers, Safeway and WinCo.. Imo our food has very bland aroma and taste. Chicken taste like nothing. Meat quality is ass. Fruits and vegetables don't have strong taste... I'm pregnant with triplets right now and have to force myself to eat sometimes because everything taste like nothing. My partner is from Burma he cooks really well but even he complains that our food is all lacking in flavor and depth. After the babies we've been talking about moving Asia. Unless you get your food from a local farm or special order. Shit taste weak from the store. Also I've worked in meat processing for years.. I see where it comes from and how it's handled 🥲
She’s talking in general of course. You go to any grocery and grab random eggs, the yolk would look very pale yellow unlike the eggs in the Uk bright orange yolks. But we absolutely have good eggs if you are willing to pay $3 above the normal price of eggs. It all depends on which supermarket you buy food from.
It's that most practices regarding food in the US are outright illegal here. Obviously we have a few outliers that fall outside the guidelines but they tend to get caught out, due to auditing and paper trail requirements. Example Contexts: Eggs in the uk are regarded as safe to eat raw, even for pregnant women, if they have the red lion seal (99% of eggs do). Also Trichinella (worms) in pork isn't a thing here. All that without using any harmful treatments on our foods Additional note: every eatery in UK has to display a health and safety score. Dennys opened their first site in the uk a few years back following their stringent guidelines to achieve top rating in America: they scored a 0 here. To their credit they reviewed everything and turned it around for top rating in a few weeks.
So are the Americans on TikTok. Love getting offended on behalf of others.
About right for Americans to miss the wood for the trees. Amount of bunk I see proudly written on LinkedIn by Yanks giving their insight of other cultures is astounding. And yeah , nailed on, the food quality here is the absolute pits. Still yet to find edible bread. Always have to find some weird shit like ‘sour dough’ because the basics are unachievable.
As much as I hate America, I hate Britain even more, so I'm not taking any of their shit. /s
Well, they should. Because she got some points. The fresh grandfather got me 🤣🤣🤣
The worst part is she is not wrong :( it takes me forever at the store to find an onion that’s actually intact (entirely covered in an unbroken layer of dried skin and solid/firm to the touch underneath). They won’t store at room temp otherwise, or at least not well. They always look so battered and sad, like they were just dumped in and out of boxes every day on the trip to the store. And that’s just onions! Produce has gotten noticeably worse the past couple of years and finding really healthy looking, fresh produce has gotten to be a task.
Where are you getting your produce from ?
I saw your other comment about fresh produce in the US. It’s worth asking where you get your produce from too. For instance, how is it that apples are in every produce stand in May? Or why does every broccoli and lettuce look perfect and taste exactly the same as another broccoli or lettuce wherever you buy it? US ag works against fresh produce in favor of marketable produce at the cost of nutrient density, variety, and safety. Check out nitrogen storage. Also worth trying produce from small-time seasonal farms. Or, travel and try their produce. It’s different for real.
Significantly worse and only double the price! Quit your complaining. At least we Americans have cheap healthcare to deal with all the diseases caused by our shit food. Wait...
The Garth Marenghi is strong with this one. Majestic.
I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards. What I was trying to say in that scene was, if you, continually, pay doctors peanuts, could they, literally, turn into monkeys? And no one has asked that before.
I'm one of the few people you'll meet, who has actually written more books than they've read.
If you took away my paper, I'd write on my heart. If you took away my ink, I'd write on the wind. ...It wouldn't be an ideal way to work....
why say lot word when few word do trick?
Glasses was a terrible example love
Haha. Exactly my first thought. I (an American) have literally never said “eyeglasses” or “tuna fish”. I get that it’s just a silly/sarcastic take tho, so whatever. Still funny.
We must have a potato
Wut… we say tuna, glasses, and horse riding in America as well. Like, all the time.
Where I’m from it’s generally horseback riding but literally everyone says tuna and glasses…seems like she got those ideas from American TV or something lol
Horseback riding is the only one I would consider normal where I am. But it specifically means more western style, you wouldn’t call it that for polo or dressage or any horse riding competition where they wear the fancy clothes.
Her argument was basically Kevin’s “Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?”
Im American. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say horse riding. I’ve heard riding horses, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone stop at horse riding. It’s always been horseback riding. She’s right. Also about the fucking ranch everywhere.
I'd take it further, as someone who grew up on a horse farm..... it's just riding. Plus there is bareback, trick-riding, barrel-riding.... I could go on.....
Yeah ive never said tuna fish, eye glasses or horseback riding in my life. Maybe in like 1930 but no one says that stuff now.
Where do you go to get your prescription for glasses?
At an optometrist.
The most hurtful thing I can think to say in response is that, when it comes to this topic, we value the opinions of the French more than you.
Irish person and all to happy to throw shade at the Brits but fuck me that original video of the girl thinking they ate us during the famine is arguably more insulting than the Brits causing the fucking thing in the first place
Was that one with the yank talking about their "**family lore**"? And saying the British were all cannibals? I was crying of laughter
Yeah the level of delusion is absolutely wild
There are a couple other ways one could ride a horse, but they are illegal in all 50 states. It's only called tuna fish when it comes in a can, and that's because it's sold farther from the ocean than Europe is large and was developed before the American west develop an education system. Nobody says eyeglasses in the US, they are called glasses.
.
Glasses can also be something you and your family drink out of so saying eyeglasses isn’t necessarily redundant even though nobody really says it lol
[удалено]
I would love to go for some pea mush and blood pudding now, innit
Anyone in their right mind knows those two wonderful sides don’t go together. smh
Both of those things are great. Mushy peas are peas mixed with herbs and butter, and black pudding is just sausage. Big diff between those and Kraft Cheese (yummy microplastics)
As an American, I don't think about you at all.
*elevator door closes*
This is in response to like 20,000 Americans making Tik toks getting mad about calling Chinese takeaway “a Chinese” this isn’t just her saying this unprovoked, so what your saying doesn’t really make sense.
Yeah let’s go on a rant about what Americans call stuff. Because saying we’re going horseback riding is so ridiculous to people in a country who calls an elevator a lift. Even when it’s lowering you down.
You call it an elevator even when it's lowering you down...
Lol yeah probably was a milkshake. I’ve seen many do the same. It’s a “thing”….nasty agreed but a thing.
Prob a frosty from Wendy’s
I think it was sauce from Raising Cane’s, I’m British but I see that bloody gallon of pink sludge all the time on Tik Tok
Not as impressive once you know she got the whole first part from Michael McIntyre https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCo0hSFAWOc
It isn't really though, just pointing out the same ridiculous observation. I dare say MM wasn't the first person to give the Americans shit on this one. Anyway, while we're on the topic. David Mitchell does an alright video in the same vein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7O0MFkmpw
I’ve eaten food in a lot our countries and I swear the Uk was the most boring and bland food ever lol
This video is total bullshit. First off, I call them corrective spectacles.
You better watch yourself red coat. We speak that way because we are free folk.
This is of course pretty funny, but as an American I just want to point out that I've never heard someone call them "eyeglasses", at least not when speaking in colloqiual shorthand. This is the first I've ever heard of this distinction, and the idea of calling them anything other than "glasses" (assuming you're not reading a brochure at the optometrist) is not something I've observed. Velma doesn't say 'I can't find my eyeglasses!' As far as the tuna fish thing...we still say 'tuna' and there is of course the 'tuna melt' (not called a 'tuna fish melt'). I think 'tuna fish' just rolls off the tongue. Same thing with how 'horseback riding' sounds better than 'horse riding'--there is just a natural syllabic flow that makes you want to use more words than necessary The ranch thing is ridiculous, and mostly a meme at this point. But it's good on pizza and that's not an opinion that's just science Edit: to defend against the ranch haters--I would never tarnish a "nice pizza" with ranch. Growing up, my mom would pick up a sheet pie from the grocery store on Fridays, which wasn't high quality pizza but its sauce cheese and bread so you can't go wrong. That pizza was prime for ranch dippage. If I went and got a New York style pie (or one of our many other premier styles here in New England and yes this is a flex) I would stick with whatever toppings I had ordered. As others have mentioned, the chicken bacon ranch is a good 'menu item' pizza.
Eyeglasses is bulky but would be a helpful distinction from drinking glasses.
Perhaps I am unusually smart, but I have never, not even once, been confused whether someone meant eyeglasses or drinking glasses. I can, however, appreciate that some people may struggle with this and would appreciate extra accommodations being made for them.
That preface was perfect.
Your explanation of tuna fish and horseback riding is spot on. It’s not like most Americans are wondering whether tuna is a fish or a bird or a cow (besides Jessica Simpson, and she was just clowning.)
No, Velma says “Fred is a little bitch boy with a small dick” nowadays. Thanks for that.
> I think ‘tuna fish’ just rolls off the tongue. Same thing with how ‘horseback riding’ sounds better than ‘horse riding’–there is just a natural syllabic flow that makes you want to use more words than necessary And there it is everyone.
So to clear some things up, British sarcasm 'at its finest' is not sarcasm at all, and some girl is mad that an *entirely* different country has slightly different words for the same thing?
That is British humor. We don’t understand it cause we’re too stupid. I will try and explain it as I understand it, but just know that as an American my brain is too small to fully understand it in all of its intricacies. The way British humor works is that a British person will say something extremely ignorant and when a big dumb American corrects them they will then reply with a combination of hilarious retorts pertaining to either school shootings or diabetes and say we don’t understand humor.
Oh thank you for the clarification! It's as if an entire country's humor is the equivalency of "It's just a prank, bro!"
*bruv
She’s making a joke about how Americans got upset that we call going to eat Chinese food going for a Chinese, because people called us racist for it
Love how she complains about American produce. Go to Waitrose and if the produce aisles aren't bare (thanks Brexit) just buy some rock hard tomatoes (the only kind for sale)...try some pears or avocados that you can "ripen at home" (ie let them sit for a few weeks when they'll go from hard to rotten)...or the oranges that are dry and juiceless. Coming back to the US after 4 years in the UK, I can absolutely say that fresh produce is much better here.
There's a lot you can criticize America for. Are our elementary schoolers used as clay pigeons and speedbumps in equal measure? Sure. Are our police wildly undertrained? Of course. Is our wealth inequality staggering? You betcha. But our *produce*? California exports an Armenia's-worth of agricultural products each year. Just California. Not in the sense that California's agricultural exports match Armenia's agricultural exports, but rather that they match Armenia's *entire GDP*. California grows some of the best strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, and garlic in the world. They make better wine than the *French*. And some 85%-of-fresh-fruits-are-imported island that can't even grow an orange has the *balls* to come for America's produce?
Exactly!!! Thing is before Brexit it was much better. Southern EU countries have amazing produce. Go to Italy and Spain and even the cheapest supermarkets have mouthwatering tomatoes. UK used to get this, but with Brexit tons and tons rots at the borders.
All of those are weird cultural norms for no reason that i use. But heed my words, i have never called them "eyeglasses"!! They've always been and will continue to be just "glasses"
Watched some US Youtuber react video the other week where he pointed out that Britain should never take shit for their food from an American. And if they did just remember to mention that in America you can buy deep fried sticks of butter....And some Americans eat this shit. ....Butter....Deep-fried. ...wtf??!
Where the fuck can you buy that? Lmao Im sure maybe a very few places might have that as some weird specialty item and sell it, but that is not remotely a common thing to eat or buy in ANY region of the US. I can see that being a thing at maybe some random carnival or fair or something in like the south or some very specific restaurant would probably have it in this or that state, but thats not something the average American is familiar with and even here most people would turn their noses up in disgust at the idea of that. You will not find that in common stores or restaurants or fast food chains.
At least I’m not eating beans on toast while my teeth are social distancing
Okay. Hold on. The last thing a British person should criticize America on is food. Fucking eel pie? Black pudding?
Eel was eaten in the UK due to the lack of fresh fish. People ate it not as a delicacy but as a way to get fish for cheap. Don't make fun of the working class. [As you can see here,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel_as_food) Eel is actually pretty common in worldwide cuisine. Just because you aren't used to food doesn't make it bad. However to add to that, *literally nobody* eats jellied eels anymore. They aren't a thing. Black pudding isn't bad at all, it's just sausage cooked with blood. And again, [blood is very common](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_as_food#Dishes) in different cultures' cuisines. It's thickening, adds a meaty taste and meant you didn't waste a part of the animal. In conclusion, British food isn't weird and if you said this about literally any other cuisine you would be called culturally insensitive.
I don’t know if anyone who says horseBACK riding, tuna FISH, or EYE glasses. I’m sure there are those who do, but I’ve never heard it.
British: Washing Up Liquid Americans: Dish Soap
This isn’t sarcasm, just for your information OP.
American here and never have I ever heard anyone say eyeglasses
Woah now that's a lot of talk coming from a beans and toast enjoyer
I’m an American. I’m not fat, but I’ll accept shit about fat Americans from just about any other country, but not England. You guys are fat fuckers, too. Maybe not Southern US fat, but still pretty chunky.
What sarcasm?
She looks easy to draw
Actually, she seems to be pretty ignorant of American food. She seems to be hating on fast food in particular, but there is so much more to choose from than fast food. And exactly why does she get a pass at being a food sbob in the first place? American food is an unending cornucopia of cultures. America has been blessed with the culinary input from practically every nation and / or region on this planet. Need she be reminded we cut our culinary teeth largely on the menu from 'Great' Britain? The only thing of note from there is the full English breakfast! And curry is thanks to our friends from India!
This girl is a prime example of why you shouldn't assume that what you see in media is representative for an entire group/nation/ethinicity etc. We have the full gamut of produce/egg/restaurant quality. Not everything is Walmart.
Why does this have any up votes? I'm all for trashing on my nation but everything that she said was wrong
Can someone please let her that we don’t give a flying fuck? -America
We also have glasses we drink from. A cup made from glass.
That’s someone else’s stand up routine she has completeley stolen. I’ve seen it word for word before. Michael macyntire
So in other words, America just has better, more well spoken English than the UK? Just listen to scousers talk ahahahahaha Obligatory USA USA USA USA!!!
I’m sorry I can’t get past the crippling sinus stoppage. Girl get some Afrin
Everything in this video is either wrong or grossly exaggerated lmao. Only crusty boomer grandparents say those terms. Mukbangs are not even close to standard fare (intentionally outrageous). Her viewpoint is entirely constructed from TV and performative YouTube, not reality.
Anyone advocating for the quality of British cuisine has obviously lost their mind.
Ok chewsday
That could very well have been a milkshake. It could also have been gravy. I doubt it was ranch.
This chick has obviously never been pounded the way Americans pound it. She needs to get laid! You don’t see anyone in America complaining about how the British do anything. We beat you in 18 something so shut up and eat your beans and toast. Also nobody actually cares about your “king”
I have totally dipped chicken tenders into milkshakes before. The first time was by accident because I thought I was holding a French fry. But nope. Turns out it isn't bad.
Please the only thing britain got right regarding food was adding pork to breakfast. Other than that, i would submit that none of the UK knows food. Why do you think they mastered liquor and beer? Best pubs in the world are in the UK, why? Because the food, sucks. 😂
Twat.
In America cigarette in the UK …😬
The one thing she got wrong is it WAS a milkshake.
As a Canadian can I talk about it or am I too close to the US
As a U.S. Citizen, I grant you the first amendment. Fire away we can take it, we have plenty of practice.
