@@SouthernTriedChannel Unfortunately, it seems you are using black tea; this is not suitable. You should use a quality English breakfast tea with milk and a tea spoonful of sugar. Preferred brands of English breakfast tea include PG Tips, Tetley, Yorkshire Tea, and Typhoo Tea. To prepare English tea, one should never microwave the water. It is important to emphasize: do not microwave the water. Preferably, boil water in a kettle until it reaches the boiling point. Place a tea bag in a cup, pour the boiling water in, and stir gently for one or two minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag, squeeze it, then discard. Add a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar, then sit back and enjoy your tea. It may seem unusual to add milk to tea, but even the staunchest American skeptics often become converts after trying British tea, as a quick search on RUclips will confirm.
I am loving this channel more and more!, you don't take yourselves too seriously and ride the negative comments with a chilled out humour. Even Negative Noah is growing on me after seeing some of his more positive reactions to several UK items in various videos!. I do wish they would remember sometimes that these are food and snacks that British people eat every day and not something sent from planet Zarg by aliens!. Keep up the very entertaining work!🤠
The name "Digestive" grosses you out and then you utter the phrase "it tastes like reindeer poop without the powdered sugar". I'm sorry, what?! I get that it's a product name but what?! New from Hersheys, Bearshite cookies! You're killing me. Amazing!
Yes there is a Hobnob without chocolate. Not in the least surprised the Hobnob was generally preferred, it has more sugar in it and as a generality the US taste is for much sweeter things than ours. Personally I love the plain Digestive biscuit and find the Hobnob and especially the chocolate one just a bit too sweet. I can tell from this your panel would love a Rich Tea Biscuit! 🤣 The digestives were originally meant to assist digestion though I believe they didn't have sugar in the original but that was in the early to mid 19th. century. they evolved in to a sweet biscuit as it is today. Yes that is seen as a sweet biscuit to us! Digestives with proper English mature cheddar, delicious! Buttered if you prefer, it sticks the cheese to the biscuit.
Thank you, I think? That’s definitely what we’re going for. An accurate representation of the various people in our little area but also to keep it entertaining,
Most people in the UK first try these biscuits at such a young age, that the first association of word “digestive” is with this type of biscuit/cookie, rather than aiding digestion. There is a whole history around the name, but I’ll leave that to Wikipedia!
I refrigerate or even freeze chocolate digestive biscuits so they last longer and melt slower. And they make a great mashed up biscuit base to put angel delight on top of as a desert. ❤
@@FlowHD A healthy doad of butter, and some cheddar cheese. Usually, here in the UK, if you buy a variety box of biscuits for cheese, you'll get Digestives in there, as well as your classic crackers.
"Biscuit" is a term used by manufacturer in production of cracker and cookies even in the US but less so in marketing, there were companies that used Biscuit in their name in the 20th century Herman Lay worked for one. It is a class of baked goods it actual means twice cooked from latin biscoctus. It doesn't have to be twice cooked however but typically you dealing with something a bit harder with a snap and a crisp texture. So not all cookies fall under that and even in the UK they understand American cookies that are softer aren't biscuits, like the one you buy hot from a counter. Jaffa cakes also aren't biscuits and there was a legal case to do with tax tha
I think you’re confusing “Southern Americans” with “South Americans”. No worries, people should consider the English, anyone who speaks the language and not just Brits who refer to themselves as that.
@@SouthernTriedChannelis that a local phrase to people in the south of the USA? It sounds odd; we think of Americans as the the people from all across the Americas with the USA being one country in North America.
Southern Tried is a play on Southern Fried, which is a term known across the US and was actually a recommendation from someone in Scotland when we rebranded the channel. Americans does refer to anyone in North or South America however the US has also adopted it to refer specifically to themselves as the Brits did with being English. The only reason “Americans” is in our title is because “Americans Try British Food” for example will get more hits than “People Try British food”.
They are not called digestive because they make you poop 😂😂 it's because they wheat/ oats are good for your digestive system however if you eat a packet you will have movement but not the runs 😂😂
@@Axispaw1 incorrect they are called digestive because they contain enzymes that will 'digest' a human body over the course of several days. If you look closely at the packet you will see the government health warning advising against bathing and prolonged skin contact. If you manage to get some in your eyes they recommend seeking medical attention immediately. Personally, I prefer the traditional method of placing a hobnob over the affected eye. Fortunately hobnobs are usually found growing near digestives in the wild.
charrity and hannah yall need to stop being prissy drama queens...lol i love these videos but i cant understand the brain set of some of the tryers....keep an open mind and dont talk yourself into disliking stuff till you have given it a good go ..this not about this vid ...its about a multitude of vids i have watched
Come to the states and it’s a cookie my friend. They’re dunking because we did a McVities Digestives episode before and EVERY Brit in England was commenting that we HAD to dunk the biscuit.
Tell your fellow countrymen to not dunk! Their comments that we should’ve dunked is the only reason we redid this episode. We’re well aware there’s a cookie and biscuit difference in your country. Biscuit in the US is strictly an unsweet breakfast bread. Flour, butter and water at its most basic form. Everything else is pretty much a cookie here.
digestives are the original OG of biscuits. Good for cheesecake bases too. Hobnobs are often stated as being peoples favourite biscuit.
The selling point of Hob Knobs was Digestive with Attitude
When i was a bairn, i used to love sandwiching 2 digestives with butter. That was braw.
Childhood memory unlocked.😂
Same. Butter, jam, chocolate spread or peanut butter. 😋
I totally forgot that I did that, I loved them like that but you had to get the right amount of butter on them 😂
Sandwich spread yummy!!
@@Scotia1990 Oh dear Lord...🤣🤣🤣. I used to have cheese on them. I'd have thought Sandwich Spread was too tart for them?
Digestives are just cookies with an old fashion name. Watching them realize this fact is what makes this video good.
That’s the angle we played for the reaction.
@WordAte : In the UK they are called Digestive biscuits rather than cookies, but I realise biscuits in the US are something else! 🙃
Yip....Need a cup of tea with digestives. 👌
Also, the chocolate with caramel would blow your minds!!
They had tea! One group had coffee.
@SouthernTriedChannel To be fair, I wrote that at the beginning of the video when it was in question. Apologies. 😉
No worries, thanks for watching

Black Tea, English Breakfast and Yorkshire tea were all options. We let them choose their own tea and make it how they preferred.
They need to try the caramel digestives those are amazing

Thank you! “Negative Noah” 😂😂😂
Good, that you are finally providing tea or coffee with the things to try rather than just on their own.
We’re learning
The name "Digestive" grosses you out and then you utter the phrase "it tastes like reindeer poop without the powdered sugar".
I'm sorry, what?! I get that it's a product name but what?! New from Hersheys, Bearshite cookies!
You're killing me. Amazing!
Wondering how she knows what reindeer poo tastes like.
😂😂😂
@jpw6893 southern delicacy in the states.
Maybe she just likes eating sweetened reindeer dung?
Try digestives with cheese, Skyla.
You'd love it.
Shine on, kid.
Please try more British snacks and biscuits, and also more British foods/combinations! Love to see your reactions!!
We plan to!

How did you make the tea btw in the uk its usually black tea with 2 teaspoons of sugar and we add milk
Each TRYer was left to make their own tea the way they preferred. Some were drinking black tea.
In the UK, you put milk in the cup first, then add the tea, and add sugar if you want it. Most don't have sugar.
I think that that comment "chocolate on only one side?that's boring" summarises America very well. If it ain't drenched in chocolate ain't good..
😂 fair
Never had reindeer poop, but if says so...😅
I thought this video was some kind of comedy tv show at first! But no these are real people from the south, in America. Blimey!!! 😮

Imagine your first introduction to them is as an adult on a RUclips channel that occasionally feeds you some pretty gross things.
@@SouthernTriedChannel Agreed, it isn’t the most appetising sounding name .
Chocolate Hobnobs= crack cocaine… if I have one I will destroy the packet with one cup of tea.
I refrigerate or even freeze chocolate digestive biscuits so they last longer and melt slower. And they make a great mashed up biscuit base to put angel delight on top of as a desert. ❤
Great info!
Love it!
You need builders tea with a digestive! That Skyla chick would love Camden, Shoreditch or any city in 🇬🇧
" Hob-nobbing" was an old expression, and it meant hanging out with the rich people, Skyla. .
Hobnobs are also made plain as well! They now do a white chocolate version...which I think would be yucky!
JUST as good with Coffee.
The caramel ones are missing, they're amazing.
We will have to TRY them!
I've never had a plain digestive without butter or cheese on them. The chocolate digestive dipped in coffee is fire.
butter and cheese on a digestive sounds like a crime
@@FlowHD A digestive on its own sounds like prison food.
@@24magiccarrot it’s not a cracker though, it’s a biscuit and it’s called digestive because it’s a healthier biscuit.
@@FlowHD A healthy doad of butter, and some cheddar cheese.

Coffee is just as good
Imagine the if they had toffypops or a timeout 😯
So yummy in tea ☕
Digestives compliment tea, not coffee so much.
These are the most USA sounding southern Americans I've ever heard.

Skyla makes me smile
Sounds like 9 year olds style comments with 7 year olds style taste buds
Thank you!
I thought the same.
You dudes need a salad 🥗 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
make them try natto 😂😂
It’s on the list!
😂😂😂Nattō is evil stuff!. It tastes like vinegar/sweat mixed with beans that went off about a month ago lol.
Can’t wait to have them TRY it
Meanwhile...GRITS..... 🫣
😂 fair!
I click on the video, and there she is right away.....
They are not called digestive because they make you poop 😂😂 it's because they wheat/ oats are good for your digestive system however if you eat a packet you will have movement but not the runs 😂😂
Incorrect! They are called Digestive because they contain sodium bicarbonate which would act as an antacid in the stomach.

You don't dip chocolate biscuits, only plain ones.
Who said?. Every biscuit is game for dunking apart from rich tea, dunk them for more than a second and you're in trouble
@@craig3782 you can dunk bananas if you like, but plai rich tea, digestive are meant to be dunked, the others enjoyed with.
@@zaftra I think that it all comes down to a matter of tastes.
@@craig3782 yes it does, but rich tea and digestives none chocolate are meant to be dunked.
We did this episode before (go watch it) and EVERY comment said to dunk the biscuit in tea.

Agreed! Feed your TRYers marmite, Century Eggs, Black Stinky Tofu once and they act like everything you bring out is gonna be awful. 🙄
Not Cookie, it is a BISCUIT.
Why are they dunking for???????

@@SouthernTriedChannel a lot of people dunk, but bits drop into the cuppa.
@norabrown5584 our TRYer Beth would deeply agree!
Like your food sounds better ,it's not
But it sounds better….
Lol miserable lot 🙄
The worst!
The guy with the ponytail and tattoos would send a glass eye to sleep
The other point your so missing with those British products, is there is no artificial additives or chemicals, unlike the US counter parts.
