I can't believe hes in a chippy in the uk and called chips french fries 😭😭😭
Same lol
It is treason
To me skinny chips = fries and thick fat chips are always chips
@Woolwich Arsenal crap chicken in a box places are taking over because of the price of fish and chips. Let's face it so many people want quantity instead of quality , look at the freeloading greedy people putting ketchup and mayo on until it's dripping out of the box.
To me their all chips
To everyone yet to visit UK, A propper "Chippy" that fries in front of the customer like Poppies is the way to go, earn bonus taste points if it's a coastal location, the sea air adds that little something, specially to the appetite.
I live in a seaside town so its always good 👌🏼
also with seaside towns like whitby, the one that happens to be nearest is always the best, and the seagulls noise adds +10 to the score. +20 for the salty smell
@@rossgeller_23 people should be made aware that going outside with the seagulls is like going to a bad part of town you're going to get mugged by shite hawkes
Woolwich Arsenal i feel sorry for whoever’s takeaway of choice is fish and chips
@Woolwich Arsenal bit of a dumb statement, and very untrue.
You can tell how different American and British humours are and yet Pop's dry responses are hilarious
Nah he is just rude
@@12thMandalorian lmao is that so? taking notes right here
@@12thMandalorian he wasn't rude at all 🤣
@@12thMandalorian he isn't rude at all that's just British humour lol
@@12thMandalorian when was he rude?
the disrespect on pops face when he called then french fries 😭
Pretty sure Jeff's face will be printed at the entrance of the shop stating "Restricted from entering".
Calling them French Fries directly to the owner of a CHIP SHOP should automatically mean you get dunked head first into the fryer
americans react to horrible histories
This NEEDS to happen
americans don’t realise what they’re missing out on
My favorite program
YESSS
Or horrible histories songs
It upsets me he didn't thank the person who served him
@Ginger wow someone had some sour pills today!
@Ginger ...are you ok?
I was literally thinking that when I saw your comment 😂
Rei wynne..you hot I'll date you lol😁👍🇬🇧
Having good manors costs nothing. The generation of today don't seem to be able to say please or thank you anymore or hold a door open for older people when entering or exiting.
Look around at people's tables after they have finished eating and what a mess, they can't even leave the knife and fork straight.
Calling them French fries is blasphemy
Freedom fries
Yes, it is Pommes. :-D
They should've glassed him for that
Yes it is
As the story goes,American troops having some down time in Belgium during WW2 were eating super skinny chips there and were so impressed on returning to the States introduced "french fries" there.of course they were too oblivious to remember they had them in Belgium and not France where of course they are known as Pomme Frittes!
Seaside fish and chips is all im craving right now.
Seaside chips are the shit
@@Flunaaa ooof that stabbed me in my heart😢😂.
Abbie Stephenson what? I mean they're like really good lmao
@@Flunaaa oh wow didnt even read it properly😂🤷♀️
@Ceptom no chips then
The last time i was this early we still owned america
Lol
i already know this is going to be an underrated comment
That is absolute gold!
Wounder who owns the freehold to some extremely expensive parts of land in America , think you will find that it's still belongs to the British.
Indigenous Americans: 🙄🖕
Chippys have loads of different options on the menu. You don't have to have fish. You can get pies, chicken nuggets, curry rolls, and sausages. My local does burgers in a bun.
I always get the chicken nuggets cos my chippy leaves the skin on the fish which I despise
@@human9796 oh no, you gotta take the skin off, 🤦♀️
Squirrel fries they leave it on under the batter tho
Also my parents eat the skin ;-;
@@human9796 nah, can't be doing with fish skin. My local does really nice skinless fillets
He just can't be bothered with him. You can feel him rolling his eyes internally 😂
His table manners are vile. BuzzFeed should send him on an etiquette course.
Americans dont learn table manners of even how to use a knife and fork correctly
Yes! Especially when she put his plate down and didn’t say Thankyou! Really annoyed me!
Scraping his fork on his teeth 😒
You gave them a new video idea
@@markweevil3985 Using his knife like a spoon and waving the cultery around like they're magic wands
We get americans come into my parents chippy all the time and they ask for french fries and when they do my mum doesnt serve them until they say chips
She's not wrong as chips and French fries are not the same thing, which is why we use both terms to describe the separate items.While both are made from chipped potatoes, French fries are cut super thin and are more fattening due to having a smaller surface area and a thicker coating of fat, whereas the larger surface area of chips means they have a thinner coating of fat. French fries should be crisp and almost hard, whereas chips are soft.
@Ginger ginger piss off its fine and i bet a bit of a joke that they do this
Lol..I worked where a woman wouldn't serve anyone, until they said "Please"....
Tommy Spencer your mum is amazing. Hahaha
Ginger I bet you’re fun at party’s 🙄
Pop is just a proper london geezer- i love it
He really was
Why does pops remind me of that brownie leader everyone had
😂😂😂😂oh my god so true
I’M A SHOUTY MAN! AND I THINK AMERICANS SHOULD REACT TO HORRIBLE HISTORIES!
Yesss!😂
YES
Omg yes
Im a shouty man, and I think Americans should stop thinking that they saved the British in WW2..... YOU HELPED and we are grateful, but you didnt WIN..... The Russians WON. In fact the USA were very cowardly by dropping the biggest bomb at the time into Japan twice instead of fighting. Its easy to win if they cannot match your bombs isnt it, but not only that, kill millions of innocent civillians!!!
They fear the truth
Nothing beats fish and chips in salt and vinegar, with some chip shop curry sauce 👌🏻
That curry sauce is just the best
Ah god dammit Jenny now I’m in the mood for fish and chips with curry sauce
@@danielstopps did you have fish and chips and curry sauce 1 year later? Why don’t you have it again today now I reminded you xD
Cod is the og fish, it can't be beaten
It's going extinct...that's pretty beaten
Eleanor oof
Agreed
Haddock is so much better
Mmm a good bit of haddock is banging though
is it just me that’s triggered by the fact they captioned it sameloy instead of saveloy
That triggered me so badly cause I love a good saveloy! :(
In the North we don't go in for the fancy lemon on the fish.. Douse it in salt and vinegar, get some curry sauce on the chips, couple of rounds of bread and butter on the side and a good mug of strong builders tea to drink. That's the ultimate fish and chips
Adam Machin and mushy peas,
That's exactly why i wouldn't go to a chippy past Watford.
You have to have lemon, rock salt, white pepper and washed down with a nice cold crisp large glass of white.
Yes it is
And dandelion and burdock!
@@originalherdsman3524 😂 I'm from North but I'd still have that on occasion
Love it that pops told you off for holding the utensils up in the air 🤣🤣
How on Earth does one live in London for 3 years & not have fish & chips? lol
Its a hell of a lot easier to get a Kebab or Hamburger in London than Fish n Chips.
Americans clearly don’t understand british humour if they think pops is rude, he’s so sweet
No mushy peas? 😱
They're there if you ask for them.
Southern chippies aren’t proper chippies.
@@QWERTYOP80 I'm not a southerner, but I can guarantee you that Poppie's fish and chips are brilliant, and there's another excellent chippie Happy Days in nearby Goulston Street. They are both "proper" chippies, and sell "proper" chip-shop fish and chips.
@@QWERTYOP80 I live in south west and we have great fish and chips. But defo need the curry sauce and mushy peas in there with lots more salt and vinegar
He was blatantly too squeamish to try mushy peas or the wally. He said he doesn't really like fish ffs!!
Sadly my grandad Poppie passed away last year. But I’d like to say. He was far from rude. That was just his dry sense of humour. If you knew him you would know what a lovely man he was and how kind he was.
This was so lovely to watch and hear his voice again.
Thank you for this video
Make him work at other places in the Uk as well
After this, I think he’s going to be deported.
Please no he was so disrespectful in this, he didn't bother to do any research and needs to learn table manor's. Also speak real English.
@@milliewhite8418 yes real English lol
@Ginger dude grow up theres such thing as miss typing carm down
@@milliewhite8418I'm guessing you've never really been filmed or been on TV. Thesecond those cameras turn on you forget those types of things. Considering The fact that he was essentially promoting the shop I doubt the servers and owners mind the lack of a single thank you.
Also he's speaking real real English, there's no such thing as fake English. English is one of the hardest in language because of the many different influences and phonics rules. Also do you realize how many different countries and nationalities follow the basic English language there are many different varieties of English yet it's still real English. Just because they don't talk exactly like you, or use different contractions such as y'all or ain't doesn't mean they are speaking of fake language. Lighten up my dude!
Much love from Mississippi 🇺🇸
I ate fish and chips in Britain in 2011 and I found it amazing
Cool
YASSSS XIN LI!!!!!
You are one of us now mate
I love you finally someone understands
Thankyou for appreciating our fine cuisine
Christ someone teach this boy some table manners
I mean, I think he was trying to hold his utensils like a European person, so I don't think it was natural for him to eat like that lol
@@VivaCohen there's nothing European about flailing your knife around
@@VivaCohen he didn't say thank you to the waitress either
@@historynut00 Hmmmm guess just difference in cultures
VivaCohen You call cutlery “utensils” in America?
The old boy was well polite considering what he was probably thinking
Poppie is just playing along cos he knows damn you aint setting foot in there again.
His manners where he is just waving the knife around rlly annoys me for some reason
The bit where he pushed the food into his mouth with his knife was my favourite... Though he was obviously trying hard to use his knife and fork European style, so credit where it’s due.
childlike exuberance he just needed to be a little more chill especially in a kitchen environment lol
Ginger regardless of politics the UK is still geographically and culturally European even if we’ve left the European Union. People across Europe wield their eating irons the same way we do in Britain, which is different from the USA. www.thekitchn.com/survey-using-your-knife-and-fork-166188 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_utensil_etiquette
Ginger are you stupid or something Britain is in Europe. No wonder your American lmao your terrible at geography.
Ginger The UK is in Europe, are you stupid?
Personal opinion, Haddock and Chips is so much better than cod. Much flakier and better texture
Mhm and the skin don’t get soggy on the bottom
Chip butty, mushy peas, curry sauce, things to try at chippy and savaloy
Put all those things together for the ultimate sarny
@@jameshurley4959 I mean sure why not lol, not sure about mixing mushies with curry but one or the other with rest works, lots of butter to melt around it lol
that owner really didnt like u
British humor :)
It was banta he didn't not like him lol
Nah that's just British banter
I know, I kind of cringed for Jeff the whole time
im british too😑 i get the humour but he really didnt like him, dont blame him hes american
Man the way he acts, almost like he never worked a day in his life before
The dry British humour 😂 gotta love it
It aient dry its banta mate
No need to say sorry, buzzfeed have paid them tons. Such as his wages, to film in his shop,to film pops and to pay for damages
@Ginger ginger why on all the comments have i looked at you have been an absaloute nob head stop be a prat be mature
Damn I thought he would dunk his head in hot oil when he said French fries
LOVE Poppie’s.... but where’s the mushy peas? Where’s the bread & butter? Where’s the tarter sauce? Tut tut
Pops is a mood
I don't really like how they portrayed pop in the thumbnail, like he's some angry old man, he's so nice! As well as the Brit is old and grumpy and the American is young and happy on the thumbnail.
"I actually really liked the fish and chips"... Has 90% of the chips left and 2/3 of the fish.
Well done to "Pops" for mentioning Haddock first.
glad im watching this later, we all know what friday night is
Watching this whilst sat working in a fish and chip shop 😂
Credit for even trying. Frying battered fish properly is an art.
Did i hear correctly he said his lived in the UK for 3 years but still calls chips french fries lol in the UK french fries are the skinny chips basically the chips that you get a mcdonalds or kebab takeaways.
I love chip shops . Chip shops, Chip shops the one near me is original and what i mean by that is the new fish and chip shops are modernised but original like the one near me as been there for 50 years i think the owner said and his owned it for 40 years up until recently when he sold it but from what ive heard its staying as a fish and chip shop but imo it will never be the same as different people are cooking everything and maybe different supplier.
As a child there used to be fish and chip trailers/vans so turn up about 4pm and leave about 7-8pm but they are everywhere in the UK and rightly so as they are amazing.
now can we get him to a northern chippy to try chips and gravy pls
Get him down to whitby , saltburn and recar get to all
C S you may well have it down south however it’s definitely known as a typical northern thing
C S please tell me where i said it was ‘just’ a northern thing? chips and gravy is TYPICALLY associated with the north. look at you living up to the southern softy name crying over chips and gravy
Adam watson Anything coastal town tbh
@@RJ-gl5xy yeah basically
3:09 you tell him Pops! 😂
Ain’t nothing better then when you actually douse the chips in vinegar and then you take your first bite of the chip and it’s too hot and smoke starts coming out from the mouth 😩😩😩😩
Yes there is...it’s when you douse the chips in chippy sauce...
I went on holiday to Perth in Australia, I had some amazing fish and chips. Tasted as good as back home.
Australia does the best and a much cheaper price
I have to admit that as an Aussie who now lives in the UK (and eaten fish and chips both in the north, including Whitby, and the south), I prefer Aussie fish and chips. My local fish and chip shop back home did amazing fish ‘bites’ and the most amazing chips that were crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. Top it off with a potato cake or a dim sim on the side and it was *chefs kiss*. I know ‘chippy’ chips are supposed to be soft and a bit soggy here but I have never quite enjoyed that as much as a crispy chip.
Pops reminds me of an English Robert de Niro 😂.
Poppie's on Hanbury Streeet! My favourite place for fish and chips in London, and one of the places I must visit after the COVID situation gets better.
Omg the guy that runs the fish and chip shop is a geeza and I love it 🤣🤣
Jeff is a very good looking man! full stop! :)
They’re chips not friesssss 😂😂 love it!
5:14 looks like the shorter villain out of the two in Home Alone.
I miss poppies fish and chips so much! Defo a lockdown craving!
Why aren't they doing takeaways? Surely, ALL fish and chip shops are essentially takeaways.
Slacking cause he didn’t have curry sauce!!!
The best fish shop I know is in Norwich and is owned and ran by an American
I’ve never heard a gherkin being called a wolly before 😂 I love it. Won’t try it at my local chippy coz they’d think I was being a cheeky bam. When Jeff called them french fries it looked like pops wanted to gee him a skelp 😂 love a good chippy. My local is somewhat famous, as it was in the movie Gregory’s girl. I live in Cumbernauld in Scotland, so I know the film won’t be that well heard of around the world but within the area I am, it’s a famous chippy. Also outlander is filmed where I stay too. And now I want a chippy
Oh I tried this fish and chips shop!!! My first time to the UK!!! I was in the one somewhere near shoreditch. Love London!! Love from Hong Kong ~
Mushy peas??
Was SHOCKING!!! x
and curry sauce .. its not a proper fish and chips without mushy peas and curry sauce! lol
They try. They really try but is it just me that finds all of this stereotypical, almost as if it's an American playing to the British stereotypes? I've never understood if this channel is for brits or Americans. If it is for brits i would love to see more videos of things that we genuinely are interested in such as relevant stories in the uk, our celebrity idols/ shows or anything that isn't so steryptipical. This is just by opinion. Please say if you would disagree otherwise.
@Ginger Wow, you're really proud of that joke, aren't you? Must be the 4th time I've seen it from you. Thrifty.
@Ginger Of course it is.
Jeff is amazing
this was iconic
"Scallop" (with salt and vinegar) in a buttered bap with ketchup ftw :)
Where are you from? Do they have Scallops down South? Where I live they do something called scones it's basically two scallops with a piece of fish in the middle, all fried as one like a fish sandwich but the bread is potato..... They're amazing!! How they don't exist outside my area I don't know!
I went to a fish and chip shop near where I live. I’m southern but live up north. My friend suggested a scallop. Which I ordered expecting the seafood scallop. What I got was very disappointing. It was horrible and definitely not fish.
I am pretty sure they aren’t a thing down South. Mainly because they’re horrible.
Erm.. an actual seafood "scallop" is button sized. And barely cooked for 2mins before serving!
This UK version is a huge slice of potato, cooked, battered and then deep fried :)
@@sophiefrancis8295 🤣🤣🤦♂️ erm yeah 🤣
@@MrKarlGP Yeah IK what they are. I just didn't when I had them because they aren't a thing down South so I was disappointed. I am British.
A true American
Don't get why everyone says Pop hated him. Seems like they got on well enough and both had a bit of joking back and forth, It's just dry british humour if he really didn't like him he'd have told him to fuck off. it's one of the best chippy's so it's not like they need the advertisement.
pop’s face at 5:52 when he ate that chip
Jeff don’t bite the fork when you eat
Ginger I’d rather be English than American
It makes me laugh when Americans act like they can tell British people how to speak english when it's quite literally our language lmfao
Language involves it’s also our language. The English you are speaking now is not the same English that was spoken 300 years ago even English was heavily influenced by many other languages so nobody actually owns the language or invented it
@@arunsalwan8558 doesnt change anything that I said. But go off
The humour is so different 🤣🤣lol
I'm from southend on sea originally, being a seaside town : they have fab fish an chips. They also do cracking hot donuts with sugar. Don't live there now but still nip to the chippy when we go see family. 😊. There's chippies all over the UK. 👍. Xx
He was swinging that knife around jeez lmao
It's called a chippy!
It's 6.51am in London and now I want fish n chips
Can't go wrong with fish and chips for any mood.
He's working in a chippy / fish &chip shop I swear some Americans like him don't understand what they are missing out on
@Ginger ginger stop being an asshole and go mature and go away
Ginger when have you not been on your period
Ginger I swear your profile name is named after Rothsteins crazy junkie wife in casino. And if you are, I hope you keep doing what you doing in hope of an overdose. Your based on her so there’s a 98% chance you will and if you don’t everyone you know will.
This place is deffo too fancy for a chippy
It's a proper, traditional chippy with 1950s themed decor. The fish and chips are fabulous, believe me.
ftumschk Yea but it’s not like the council chipy round the corner is it.
@@pyeltd.5457 Oddly enough, Poppies is just around a corner, it started out like any other family-run chippy, and is still run by the same family. Just because it's got nice decor doesn't change the quality of the food, and if you don't like the decor you can always have a takeway; indeed, it does a roaring trade in takeaways. Besides, many "council chippies" are terrible - there are six in my area, but only one of them is any good.
I’m getting a hard 5-hour energy vibe from Jeff
I laughed my head off in British as soon as I saw the title
Did anyone else wince at the fact that he wacked his teeth against his fork? Also the fact he cannot hold his knife and fork properly.
He was obviously trying to hold it like a European. That's not how Americans hold their knife and fork :P
Fish and chips is soooo good!
£10.50 for fish and chips?
£11.60 for a scampi supper?!
Might have to have chippy tea now
This might sound strange, but I eat Chicken and Chips not Fish and Chips...
You prefer the American way. That's allowed.
Sausage and chips for the win
Love Poppies!
I wonder if he made that fish
How has he been living here for 3 years already and still be this American lol...I cringed so much when he kept saying FRIES instead of chips
Ginger lol what?? Since when Americans classify as a marginalised group? Get a grip. How about maybe it’s because of him refuse to integrate?
Ginger you sound like a nutcase and nothing you said make a valid point annndd you cannot spell so I’m not gonna waste my time lol
@Ginger Not just Americans get treated like shit. Pricks that go by the name Ginger also get treated like shit. Lol 👊
Apparently England focuses on assimilation, America focuses on multiculturalism. So say sociologists, anyway.
@Ginger Not gonna lie ... this is true. It wouldn't happen if he were some other nationality.
I just find adorable that these shops are called "chippys", now I wanna visit the UK 😭
Ginger why you so angry
When you do visit go to a chippy that seems to be a little bit expensive as to the one's you get on the average high Street that sells kebabs and pizzas etc they are not very traditional with the standard of making a good fish batter and a good potato that's been nicely double fried into a lovely chip.
@@originalherdsman3524 Huh, nice tip, thank you! Hopefully I can visit soon :D
And drink coke, our shit has real sugar in
@@thomascannon7028 stop giving our self a thumbs up then perhaps people will start to believe in you, !!! keep your eyes focused and chin up
chippy chips are the best kind of chips deadass there is no arguing
Pops: did you just really say bossman

Seeing pops getting more and more angry every time he said French fries feels me with a deep sense of pride
the one and ONLY food i will admit to missing since going vegan is fish and chips 😂😂😂
Omg was vegetarian just went vegan and I'm missing chips 😂
@@anaiswood2400 and why cant you have the chips? Im sure there isnt any meat in there. A vegan can have chips you know.
ANYWAY... veggie or vegan cos like.. dont wanna eat animals cos its life...... carrots are life.... parsnips are life.... the life of plants...... PLANTS AND TREES ARE ALIVE JUST LIKE COWS AND PIGS.... going vegan/vegetarian means nothing, you are still eating deceased LIFE!!... a carrot died when you cooked it just like a cow died for its meat. What makes eating plants and vegetables okay?? Its still eating 'Life' you know.
So why don't you eat it then? Just for saying that you are 100% vegan?
You don't have to make a religion out of it.
Helloweener been vegan for 4 years now i cant imagine going back even for one meal would be too weird... 🤷🏽♀️you make a fair point, it’s not a religion but i certainly don’t think ill be eating meat again🤷🏽♀️
CrazyInWeston it’s not about ‘life’ it’s about a being that’s can feel pain/ have nervous systems and suffer ect, - pigs have intelligence of toddlers! And cows grieve when their babies are taken away.. There’s no evidence to suggest plants can feel pain or pleasure ect..
Cool 2 meters tbf
he has lived in uk in 3 years and he all ready say batter hahaah7:52
