“It’s only April and I’ve already passed three kidney stones this year” Joe said that in a way that sounds like it’s an annual thing for him to get kidney stones, and that this years turn out was a little more than normal for so early on.
When I was in London 4 years back I used to LOVE Pret a Manger. My family always used to pronounce it wrong and say "Pret a Manager" while I was the only one who got it right. I'm really glad they made this episode and yeah
Sorry but Harry is correct. It’s a parallelogram for sure, but unless all sides are measured and are equal length, you can’t call it a rhombus. That’s all my retained 8th grade geometry knowledge 😆
Not really - its more that, having done the genuinely global chains, they are now doing the ones focused on the UK or US but with a couple of stores in the other country.
We’ve definitely had some of the US exclusives in the U.K... I think they’re just not permanently on the menu! also, don’t do the turmeric latte dirty smh 😭😭😭
An Americano does have calories, carbs from the coffee. Alot of the US "exclusive" wraps/sandwiches and snacks have been available in the UK at some point though
There needs to be a Pret in every single city in the USA. Fell in love with them when we went to London and would love to be able to just pop in and get some decent, fast food.
@Late Night Girl expret[DOT]org What is wrong with Pret? And it has to be something seriously shocking because I have worked in food service for over 30 years so do tell.
@Late Night Girl expret[DOT]org That is what I was asking. I don't know about the company and you are the only one to say something about it. If it is that bad, report them. No one enjoys being treated like shit. Unfortunately it is incredibly common in that industry that needs to change. I only know it from the customer side since there are none where I live and I experienced it in London. Why would the UK put up with that?
as a londoner, i absolutely love pret! had no idea they were also in the US. there's also (at least) one in germany now. if Paul exists in the US could you do an episode of them too? :)
The only reason I go into Pret a Manger is for the chocolate brownie, that shizz is heaven in the clouds. The energy shots and green tea are good refreshers. PS, we have the chicken pesto flatbread here in London too
"It doesn't taste good but I'm still taking bites out of it" - That just summarises my experience of... Well, every train station sandwich shop, really, but I think it's more common for me from Pret than the other places.
@@JoeAvella Kettle corn IS in fact made in a large kettle, and it is essentially sweet and salty popcorn because it's made with sugar and salt. How do you not know this?😂
Kettle corn was salty and sweet popcorn historically made in kettles. The modern definition of kettle corn is just popcorn with sugar and salt. It has nothing to do with kettles these days.
that's as it's a UK chain with a couple of US stores. As such, the UK is much more well established and can more experimentation and diversions from the stereotypical fare.
We have a lot of Pret a Manager restaurant's around in Central London. These would be the main eating outlets I'd have to go during my work lunch breaks. I'm not a big fan, and I haven't been too one in a long time no due to the lockdown. Irene is doing okay as Joe's replacement for this episode (although you still have Joe interrupting in between).
Irene, you may have questionable bread shape opinions, but I forgive you because you did so great!!!
Ayyyyy
Really Harry? Shrek!?
Harry Kersh I just love all the coffee!
Food Insider rules!
Rhombus squad
Man, I miss this series so much. I wish this series never end
trust me it's not going to.
What is that logic
They will literally invent new fast food chain just te keep this series running
@@Kurre. lets hope so
I've legit subscribed to this channel just for this series.
thanks!
Same here lol
Same here bra
same😂😂
Same here
Irene: * talks about salad *
Joe: what have you done with my legacy
🙁
Lol, the real joe is here lol
“It’s only April and I’ve already passed three kidney stones this year”
Joe said that in a way that sounds like it’s an annual thing for him to get kidney stones, and that this years turn out was a little more than normal for so early on.
I can't be the only one who said: "Joe that's not a good thing!"
I have chronic kidney stones. I pass multiple every week and will till the day I die or get a transplant
For those who haven’t been to a Pret, it’s an overpriced chain store selling cheap coffee and sandwiches! Perfect for Londoners :)
"overpriced but sell cheap products", nice logic
@@waterbottle8161 cheap coffee means poor quality r/wooosh
@@waterbottle8161 cheap can mean low quality or the coffee was cheap to make
@@Kerem-fb2zg oh ok, thanks for ty explanation
So basically a Starbucks? Lol
Irene, Joe and Harry the trio we needed!!!
Imagine if they open Gregg's in America
I really want to see a food wars of that. I can imagine the american yum yums to have 2k calories per one
What’s greggs
Joe Avella basically a pastie shop in the U.K. Gregs is the most known for there sausage rolls
Mmm gregs
Greggs mmmmmmm I’m hungry now
Irene and her bread opinions carried this episode pls bring her back for more 10/10 💛 💛
When I was in London 4 years back I used to LOVE Pret a Manger. My family always used to pronounce it wrong and say "Pret a Manager" while I was the only one who got it right. I'm really glad they made this episode and yeah
Listening to Irene was everything i needed today. Her voice is calming and sweet. This video was a lot of fun
Irene is so adorable!!! and also a mood and she is really funny!! I love when the guests make fun of joe
Not me!
@@JoeAvella lmao
I love the sound of Irene's laughter.... and her enthusiasm for sharp bread.
That bread is rhombus. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombus
I knew it!
😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry but Harry is correct. It’s a parallelogram for sure, but unless all sides are measured and are equal length, you can’t call it a rhombus. That’s all my retained 8th grade geometry knowledge 😆
@@nicoleschaller2027 But we call all vaguely ball shaped objects spheres even when they’re not actual spheres.
polygons are sometimes referred to as n-gons, so we can just say 4-gon for the lols xd
Irene: “maybe we don’t need to drink this much coffee”
Joe: *I’m missing at least 3 drops of coffee I’m gonna die*
As a french man i am questionning why there are pickles in a jambon beurre
I dont know. Maybe pret wanted to do their own twist to it or something.
And why they're calling croissant so many things not croissant...
Pret have them on their jambon beurre in France too, or they did at the Paris Gare de Lyon Pret last time I went anyway
Because pret is not french, is a British chain
@@eldiegote9488 And pickles are good on a sandwich.
Food weights exactly as advertised
Food wars viewers: Surprised Pikachu Face
Caffe Nero is in Boston USA. It saddens me that there are fewer brands to showcase in this series, because i love these videos so much.
"I'm just saying when bread comes in a geometric shape it's good bread" so what you are trying to say is basically you are impressed by any bread
Isn't a square shape a geometric shape though? 🤔
@@ulysses2162 yeah that my point pretty much all forms bread are based on a geometric shape so she is impressed any bread
Wow this is the best food wars yet!!! I LOVED SPECIAL GUEST IRENE!!!!!!!
thanks!
Food insider could extend food wars to internationally sold food items like chips/crisps, sodas, etc if they run out of fast food/chains to compare.
Love how Joe is in the video without being in the video 😂😂😂😂
Same
@@JoeAvella omg it's actually you
Now they're doing restaurants that I've never heard of
how have u never heard of Pret A Manger
How
i think it's only really big in the UK
There are way more popular in UK, I saw a good bunch of them when i visited the country a couple years ago
There’s one in DC for the states!
Irene is an excellent host !
"Sorry im not Joe"
Very disappointed, but you will do until the White Mamba returns
White Mamba? Ok take it easy.

"You're stuck with my face" girl, you are radiant inside and out!
I 100% agree with Irene about bread shapes
Irene was such a fun host!!!
Hey! I've been looking forward to this for ages
Literally on every street in london there is one and they're fantastic
My love and adoration for Harry just spiked when he quoted Shrek.
Please do UK vs US home ceilings, lights, bathrooms, room size, door quality, wall quality, exterior, interior, flooring
@silent night everything is food is you are brave enough.
UK has the best sandwiches to go! Especially from Pret and M&S
tory
Low quality compared to Maison Kayser. 😂
@@Noah-kc2pi 😂😂😂
Pret is what I associate to overpriced Airport food, cause that's the only time I eat it lol. Also, Irene is adorable
You know they're running out of chain food stores when they can find one in England but not in Los Angeles
Not really - its more that, having done the genuinely global chains, they are now doing the ones focused on the UK or US but with a couple of stores in the other country.
They are everywhere in the UK but I had no idea that they had some US operations
Nando’s isn’t in LA
They're both all over the UK and NYC, which is really all that matters.
@@rmknicks nah. if it’s only in nyc then it’s not really us vs uk lol self centered af
Irene smashed it!
Kettle corn: popcorn traditionally made in a cast iron kettle, usually topped with sugar, salt and oil.
We’ve definitely had some of the US exclusives in the U.K... I think they’re just not permanently on the menu!
also, don’t do the turmeric latte dirty smh 😭😭😭
I am convinced that Joe is allergic to salads
We need a Pret on the Upper East Side on Lexington Ave. near Carnegie Hill !!!
They're all down in Midtown
2:35 🎶 What a wonderful phrase... 🎶
Irene : its not spicy but has a kick to it
The entire universe: so its spicy
The Subtitle / Closed Captions past 1:30 go out of sync
I love how even though Joe is not presenting in the episode.. he's always still there 😂😂
Harry Shrek is something i never knew i needed but am so glad i got
Irene "sorry I'm not joe"
Gurl at least u tried! As long as joe has like a clip im good
I like how Joe is in the comment section
🤣 🤣 Irene needs to come back again. So funny, she doubled down on the it's a triangle stance 😂
An Americano does have calories, carbs from the coffee. Alot of the US "exclusive" wraps/sandwiches and snacks have been available in the UK at some point though
Whenever I’m in NYC I go to pret. It’s been years though.
There's one in union square and times square. But it's all over the state because I went to upstate, towards buffalo once and there were like 3 of em.

Okay this is the first one I have NEVER heard of in this series.
If you haven't been to an airport then you'll probably have never seen them.
This is the second restaurant I never heard of the first one was Quiznos
You can get both the flatbreads in the UK as well as the nut and popcorn bars
I regretted so much for not trying out PRET when i was in UK.
You missed nothing.
@@Stephen-Fox LOOL
@@Stephen-Fox neither your father missed anything imortant
@@Stephen-Fox Hahaha, and after this video, i thought so!
@@dragoner3211 imagine saying that to someone who has an opinion about a restaurant
Therapist: Harry Shrek isn't real, he won't hurt you
Harry Shrek: 10:23
This was my cousin's go-to lunch spot when she lived in New York City a long time ago.
How basic. Did she stand in line in her Uggs texting with a scowl on her face?
9:20 - 9:25 🎵 EGG SALAD IS GROOOOOOOOOSSSS 🎵 is both a mood and an accurate description of egg salad 😖 but if you don’t have anything else to eat 😣
Is Insider in other countries besides UK and US?
Perhaps maybe they can do a US v Canada or UK vs India
I think that Pret (UK) has some of the best chain pre-made sandwiches alongside Pure. The food is pretty good and fresh, which is why it's so popular
Don't worry Joe, we don't have many Pret A Manger in Northern England either. It's more of a southerner thing.
I only really see them in airports and train stations as well
There are literally four of them within a mile of me (Edinburgh). We're not southerners.
@@etiennesharp yeah but that's scotland. You aren't northerners, you're scots.
I wasn't worried.
For a second I thought Joe wasn't gonna be in because of the thumbnail lol.
Much as I love that mafia wiseguy sounding dude, I fully approve of Irene.
The popcorn bar is the greatest thing on planet earth. No CAP! Amazed that the got rid of it from the UK menu!
I haven't watched it yet but I know Irene will smash it
Edit: She's so cute like a little kitten 😭
The subtitle is not syncing to the video
that's really bugging me now
For the next time: Plz do Costa Coffee ☕
Before there has been things that I never knew existed in the UK, and now something I never knew existed in the US
as a londoner, i absolutely love pret! had no idea they were also in the US. there's also (at least) one in germany now. if Paul exists in the US could you do an episode of them too? :)
I love Pret’s lemon and ginger bottled drink🙌💕
I love the series 💖
For those who don’t know what pret is it’s a posh coffee shop I don’t go there because it’s mainly at train stations but I do like there crossaint
Can I get one of those Joe masks? You’re not allowed to ask why.....
yikes.

“ Double the pork , double the fun. More like “ Double the pork, double the haram”🤣😭
Man you guys did Harry dirty by making him look like Shrek 😂 also Irene was fantastic 👌
Lol
The uk exclusive avo baguette is so good
Irene. 💓 She is just perfect 💓
The only reason I go into Pret a Manger is for the chocolate brownie, that shizz is heaven in the clouds. The energy shots and green tea are good refreshers.
PS, we have the chicken pesto flatbread here in London too
Yaaas! The brownies are good at ⭐️ Pret ⭐️
… also Costa’s brownies are pretty good

You should also compare the prices
"Sorry I'm not Joe"
What is wrong with the closed captions? They’re like a minute behind
Can y’all fix the captions please
Turmeric milk is actually given with pepper if you have a cold
Pret hits different when you’re at the airport lol
Learned how to properly pronounce Pret A Manger. Thanks, Harry!
"What even is kettle corn?" How dare you, Joe. Are you even an American????
With out looking it up, tell me now. What is it? Is it made in a kettle?
@@JoeAvella Kettle corn IS in fact made in a large kettle, and it is essentially sweet and salty popcorn because it's made with sugar and salt. How do you not know this?😂

Seriously Irene , I would literally dump all of those coffee cups in bin , nope not gonna risk myself running crazy with energy whole darn day.
For once it's the other way around, I didn't know Pret was a thing in the US aha
Oh how I miss Pret from my London days! I’m bicoastal between the southeast and west coast (not Cali) so no access now.
For once the UK menu sounds better in my opinion
that's as it's a UK chain with a couple of US stores. As such, the UK is much more well established and can more experimentation and diversions from the stereotypical fare.
