As an American & I feel like I can speak for most Americans, I've never had a pizza w hotdog's. Actually never even seen one 🤣
I never HEARD of that till I saw this video.
I had one back when Pizza Hut made them, but purely out of curiosity. But I would say most Americans would scoff at the idea.
I think I'd rather go hungry than eat a pizza with hot dogs on it.
Like, that's a waste of both pizza AND hot dogs. It'd be like putting white sausage gravy on a chocolate cake.
The pizza in the US with hot dogs they were rolled into the edge crust aka pig in blanket style. Not sliced on top.
It didn't sell well. 😅
I've had _hamburgers_ with hot dogs on them. They're pretty good, as long as the dogs are quartered and cooked until crisp.
Dogs have to be all-beef though, otherwise the flavors start to fight with each other.
There’s something rather novel to me as an American watching a Canadian tell a Brit about “American” food
The world works in mysterious ways...and I love it! 👍
Technically, he is from North America, but yeah. I'd like to see a video on what Canadians eat.
Raw hamburger is a thing I’ve heard of. A “cannibal sandwich” but it’s a rare thing, not common.
He was right though!
Canada is practically Americas little brother
I now understand why the rest of the world thinks American food is bad! I would, too, if I was served these foods and was told they were American.
Keeping in mind that the dude he's watching is Canadian.
Right. They did American dirty smh
I think you mean Northern Montana.@@Whoozerdaddy
@@SSShadyLanethats what im saying man. grew up in Jersey, spent a few years in Louisiana, food was great in both states. completely different styles of food too. never understood folks bashing the food here
I mean (and correct me if i am wrong) isn't us-American types of foods bad anyway? With all the unhealthy ingredients and what not thrown into whatever the country has?
Buying the red cups for a party or when you have a company over is something that we do, but we don't treasure the red cups. We just purchase them so we don't have to own or wash that many cups. Nowadays we actually buy them in multiple colors so that they actually might match the party theme or someone can pick a color that they like.
Jars of Hot Dogs are NOT used in America. We Have Hot Dogs in shrinked-wrapped plastic wrappers, about 8 per package.
Yes, and they're in the refrigerated meat section. The jarred/canned ones are sold from unrefrigerated store shelves.
@@Jeff_Lichtmannever ever seen hotdogs in can or jar.
I almost cried for those poor hot dogs in jars and cans I saw in England. 😢
I haven’t bought hot dogs in a long time. Have the packages shrunk to only eight? It used to be ten with the packages of buns having twelve. Two leftover hotdog buns was such a waste. However, I’ll bet that there are creative solutions that I never thought of.
Depends on what kind your buying. I've seen some that come in ten. @@courtneyraymer6586
I'm American and I think these are hilarious. The idea that hotdogs are just being thrown on everything and called "American" cracks me up. 😂😂😂
@Angelina14799, funny to a certain extent. But, at the same time, it makes this country appear to be a land of food lunatics.

"Are These Not American?"
Far from it, Lewis.
As an American, I've NEVER seen hotdogs packaged up in jars or cans.
The only thing that would close would be what we'd refer to as Vienna Sausages
Not gonna lie, a great hangover breakfast is a couple cans of Barbecue Beenie Weenies and a couple slices of cheesy garlic bread. How the Hell am I supposed to incorporate chicken nuggets into such a feast?
My mom feeds Vienna sausages as treats to the dogs. We normally don't eat these cause they smell and look like dogfood
I have seen hotdogs in jars in my local grocery store here in Illinois. In the imported food section.
It's a southern thing
We also in NY state have the jars.
I'm American and one thing about many of our cereals is they are so sweet I have them as a snack item not for breakfast
so accurate!
I am a 66-year-old American and I have never seen hot dogs in a can or a jar. And if I did see them I certainly would not buy them!!!
Vienna Sausage comes in cans. They're minature hot dogs. Quite tasty!!!
@@Cricket2731those things are all kinds of nasty. Taste like how dog food smells. My dad loved them, lol.
Anyone ever seen those full chickens in a can? Disgusting. All slimy and small.
Despicable!
I saw those hotdogs in a jar in a Joel and Lia video, I zoomed the video and looked the brand up and they are from Germany.
That dude has got to be Canadian. Just ask him aboot it.
Hahaha, I noticed it too
This guy is so incredibly fake, he's really disgusting! No-one in Canada says "aboot". No-one should believe anything he says!
@@zimmerlieg JJ McCullough has a thick Canadian accent, even for a Canadian. I rather think it is deliberate.
I heard him say it at least 5 times.
He's Canadian. I believe he is from the Vancouver B.C. area.
That fruit cocktail pizza is actually a war crime.
As it is,yes. But I feel like those things would be perfect on a dessert pizza
I would eat that.
😅😂
I'm calling it fruit cake pizza
I bet it's really good
It's so funny that people outside the US think we eat hot dogs on that level. Hot Dogs are mainly a cookout or ballpark food, which are only had a couple of times a year.
As an American, I'm baffled at what other countries are subjecting their poor citizens to eat. I would never.
I mean, food in Europe is generally better :D
Dont worry, same shit works in reverse as well....
And its equally as bad :3
@@mixlllllllYou mean food with no spice? Go to the southern U.S. for food, it is the best food you’ll ever eat
@@Soren_.-24 I believe there's good food but doubt it's "the best food i'll ever eat". Food without much spices can be good if the ingredients are right, though i like spicy food also.
There a saying : people who can't cook hide it with spices 😂
@@mixlllllll He's pretty annoying about it, but he *is* right. Look up those videos of Europeans trying food from the U.S specifically, and you'll see their reactions. I won't pretend it'll be the best thing you've ever had for sure, because I don't know, and there is no way I ever could know that, but it's much better than normal European food. Its just better, hands down. I'm sure you can make something just as good wherever you're from, but normally, food in Europe isn't even on a similar level to food from America.
Yes Solo cups are American. They really are just our cheap cups that we can throw away after a party. 😂 it’s so funny that around the world they’ve become iconic.
Exactly!
👍
I buy Blue Solo Cups
We always have solo cups in the pantry. And we use them on Christmas. They are easy to write on, durable and cheap! You can get a pack of 300 for around $15.
Red cups are just disposable cups for large parties
Some do eat marshmallow fluff often. When i was a kid it was a popular sandwich with peanut butter, the "fluffernutter sandwich". It is also often used to make fudge. We used to make peanut butter fudge with it.
American here; never had marshmallow fluff
Only ever used it to make rice krispie treats 😂
My family has peanut butter banana fluff sandwiches with hot chocolate on cold days.
@@MThree1215it’s only sold on the East Coast, or was for a very long time. Before internet shopping I used to mail Fluff to my friends who went to college in California…a lot of Americans have never even heard of it
I think it’s a southeast thing
As an American I am all for claiming duct tape. I'll take that. I know so many people that keep duct tape in their tool box, in their car, in their luggage. Calling it American tape is a compliment.
My husband used it to fix his car after a minor auto accident. 😂 Always keep it in your trunk in case of an emergency! lol
A good rule of thumb :
If it moves and it shouldn't, use Duct Tape
If doesn't move, and it should, use WD-40.
Ask any soldier in America and “duct tape” has the name of “90 mile an hour tape”.
@@dovej3516 This is to differentiate it from 100-mile an hour tape which is intended for use on aircraft.
@@colincampbell767 and where do you think it was created at? The military had planes long before sillyvilians did. That’s also the reason for the silver color …..oh and the OD green (olive drab green) too.
I love how international this video is! A Canadian explaining what American stereotype food is to a Brit!
The Canadian is an impartial observer 😂 He’s just peeking over the border, studying us like Jane Goodall
Canadians are technically American since they live on the continent of America. Technically.
@@lovemesomeslippersThey’re North American, but not American. Same with Mexico.
The Canadian has clearly never had a fluffernutter sandwich
babe nah, fr? oh my god we didnt know! next time be a bit more specific with the north and south American terms, while writing these comments, okay? And maybe avoid using the word American, but rather use US-American?@@lovemesomeslippers
Hot dogs absolutely never come in jars ir cans, never on pizza. Those pizzas are disgusting.
Lol yep… I don’t know anyone who would eat any of those…
I have seen hotdogs/franks in a can in the USA and not Vienna Sausage.
The funniest thing is that they are usually from Germany. 🤣
I've had a NY system pizza. It was actually pretty dang good! But they weren't hotdogs, they were actual weiners.
Where I live in PA we have a local shop that makes chili dog pizza. Chili sauce for the base, cut up grilled hot dogs and cheddar cheese. Its delicious, but messy and the heartburn is next level lmfao.
Pizza Hut did a version of hot dog pizza… they had small “cocktail weenies” wrapped in pizza crust (ie “pigs in a blanket”) as the outer ring of the crust. Essentially the appetizer to the pizza.
Marshmallow fluff is intended to be used as an ingredient for making desserts. If you're eating it as is, you might want to talk to a dietician about that.
In New England, it's a staple item, not just a dessert ingredient. Fluffernutters have been the school lunch of choice for years.
@@jennhoward8371 Thanks for the warning that people in New England don't use things for their intended purposes. Does not change my point, it cannot be healthy to eat pure sugar like that.
We called them Black&Whites. They are an iconic New York cookie. They make them large there, so you only get one.
@@JessyDupreit was invented in Massachusetts 😂 what a weird thing to gatekeep
@@Okaydokay2638 1. Showing concern for people's health is not gatekeeping. It's showing concern. People need to learn to accept that strangers will voice their concern about shenanigans. 2. You're gonna need to clarify what you're talking about, so that I can learn what I was most likely misinformed about. Please and thank you.
The "American Fried Rice" LITERALLY made me gasp in horror.
I think it’s a facsimile of rice and gumbo
Ya. 😮
That and the "Canned Hot Dogs".....For reference.... I am a Chicagoan Chef.... LOL
For real!! That sounded so completely and utterly disgusting!
All these foods are not American. Gross! Never seen any of these foods.
Thanksgiving - Turkey
Christmas & Easter - Ham
4th of July - Burgers/Hot Dogs/BBQ Chicken/Corn-on-the-Cob/Potato Salad
St Patrick's Day - Corned Beef/Cabbage/Cream of Potato Soup/Soda Bread (if with Raisins, then for dessert with butter & honey)
Halloween is usually just themed snacks, no official sit-down meal.
At least it's as such in my experience in America.
Ham is common for both Christmas and Easter but rib roast for Christmas and lamb for Easter are also very traditional.
@@plainOldFoolmy family always makes sweet bbq meatballs as well ham for the main entree
Easter is usually when my family has Lamb but not all Americans like lamb because it is more gamey
@@clarehidalgomy family would love to have lamb but the cost of lamb versus ham or turkey is exorbitant.
We do turkey for Christmas
Christmas ham is really popular in America. Turkey is also popular, but since we have Thanksgiving just a month before, which has a pretty big focus on turkey, ham is generally preferred for Christmas.
Or people sometimes do a roast if they don't like or don't eat pork
My family has gotten kind of tired of traditional Christmas dinners. We will often have Mexican, or Italian food for Christmas now. We still have some Traditional sides , and desserts.
We always did a turkey, a ham and a dozen lobsters fresh from the boat.
Ham is also an Easter thing. Really, any sort of big meat dish works as a “main” unless your family is vegetarian. Although, anything will work. My mom did lasagna for years until recently. Now she always does tacos. Honestly, I miss the lasagne. Dad is vegetarian and my mom is a bad cook so I get it, but I’m old enough now that I’m tempted to take over cooking for Christmas.
We eat ham on Christmas in Finland too.
My Christmas "dinner" depends on the family I'm with...mostly it's finger foods, but typically a large ham and/or turkey is provided at one. The biggest thing when it comes to Christmas "dinner" is the dessert. Pumpkin pie, cookies, and other pies are great
I was at an international food festival in Denmark a few years ago. At the "American" stand, they served "American's favorite item" Beef Jerky sandwiches. WHAT! Never heard of such a thing.
Did you try one?
Beef jerky sandwich? I have never heard of that here, I can see a brisket sandwich though.
Beef jerky sandwiches? Interesting! I think I'd try one, even if it takes a lot of chewing.
Was it actually dried beef jerky or a Smoked BBQ brisket?!? 🤣
Sounds... Dry and crunchy? Lol
Fortune cookies are San Francisco in origin, made by a Japanese American baker similar to a Japanese recipe. The baker came up with the idea of inserting fortunes, and marketed them to his mostly Asian restaurant wholesale customers. In the US, the cookies came on a tray with the bill.
I always thought it was a Chinese baker in San Fran 😳 damn lol
@@BeboRulz In San Jose’s Japantown, they sold what tasted exactly like fortune cookies, but unfolded, either fresh or as Japanese imports. They are American, but to a traditional Japanese recipe.
@@tomhalla426 I learned that it was invented at the Hong Kong Noodle Co by a Chinese baker, David Jung. So the fact that that specific story is STILL out there is not fair lol (when it's not true)
And thank you! I always like to learn the CORRECT info 😊
@@BeboRulz Bing confirms the Japanese connection, stating the first fortune cookies were served in the Japanese Tea Garden in SF. The basic sesame flavored cookie is Japanese, not Chinese.
I love how indignant you are about these faux American dishes 😂. I ain't gonna lie, I would have puked if I saw simeone pour creamed corn on my pizza
I knew a guy who, as a teenager, would sit in the front row of a theater balcony. About halfway through the movie he'd loudly say, "I feel sick' and pour a can of cream corn over the edge. Then bail before he got caught. That was my 7th grade PE teacher. He also believed that basketball player should be given pads and play full contact. Mr. Bingham
I would had had a reflex reaction as a New Yorker? 👊😂😂😂😂
That "American pizza" sounds about like Illinois barbecue. Worst mistake to order that.I ended up having to leave and get something somewhere else.
I just find creamed corn revolting anywhere
@@margaretschultz6209 same here. Personally, the onlyway I can stomach it is mixed into cornbread.
Eeeeeeew.....hot dogs in jars & cans, hot dog on pizza * fruit cocktail pizza!🤢 No, no, no! I am American and I have seen absolutely NONE of those anywhere. YUCK!!!😂 I have seen NONE of these foods in America. Well...except for the grocery store shelves of airheads, marshmallow fluff, etc.
I think some people forget that Turkeys are from America. 😂
NO111!!111?11 they are from TURKEEYYYY. turkey from TURKEY1!!11
edit: for the love of god this a JOKE
If Franklin had his way, they would have been our national bird
@@andrewrobinson8199
They should've been, tbh. Half the time we act like turkeys, the ones that would bamboozle hunters.
I swear the turkey is low-key our nation's genuine personality while the bald eagle is what we just pretend to be.
They're native to the Americas @@NyuVTMusic
@@EggplantHarmesan i dont think you understood the joke
Ok, The Solo cup stuff was accurate 😂. It was a staple of college parties and cookouts. I've never seen a Solo ad, but if they ever wanted to run one, it could just be a picture of a solo cup with the caption "you know what this is."
Now that I think of it, I’ve never seen an ad for them either. 😂 They aren’t necessary. I think this is one stereotype that is actually pretty true for a lot of the US.
Solo [brand] cups were much more a thing last century (that phrase makes me feel old) than today, but they definitely still exist in the same markets and uses as they always have and are just as recognizeable.
Hahaha “You know what this is” … an ad to drive future anthropologists to distraction trying to figure out that that means.
really all you need to say in relation to the Solo cup - Beer Pong
My son in law has a solo cup door wreath, I think he probably got it while at university.
Did you tell them how wrong they were? Maybe this is why they think American food sucks because they make up that trash and slap our name on it🤮
Rice with bacon and raisins is certainly out there. I can't imagine that it was any good, but then again I like broccoli salad and just reading the ingredients would not lead me to think that I would remotely like it. It's all about the 'slaw' dressing, by the way.
The hot dogs in jars or cans is a thing in Germany .
Sounds like great content.
I love raisins, but not with bacon. Although I once got a cinnamon raisin bagel as the bread for a bacon and egg sandwich.
Some people, in America, use marshmallow fluff to make fudge and fluff & peanut butter sandwiches.
Thanksgiving = turkey, Christmas = beef roast, new years & Easter = ham
Marshmello Fluff --> Snowballs!
Also lamb for Easter. With mint jelly.
I was looking for this comment 🙏
I don't think I've ever had beef roast on the holidays. Turkey or ham on Christmas. I don't remember what was for New Years', until I was an adult eating with my boyfriends' mom, & she'd make pork chops or pork steaks with boiled cabbage.
I had ham and maybe duck for Thanksgiving and christmas
He's obviously from Canada since he says "aboot" for "about"! 😄 In US, Thanksgiving is traditionally a turkey, but some do ham. Christmas can be turkey, ham or a beef roast - never chicken!. This was really fascinating to watch.
I have known people who went to KFC as a dedicated stop on the days they did their Christmas shopping.
@@HelenKistler-hi5we The word "never" should NEVER be used! 😁
We make gumbo, rice, and potato salad every year for Christmas and it always has chicken in it. For Thanksgiving we usually do a chicken rather than a turkey or a ham. Though sometimes I'll do a couple Cornish hens and a small ham for my mil. Most of my house doesn't eat pork anyhow so it's mainly for her. XD The only time we absolutely don't eat chicken for the meal is new years but that's because it's bad luck for finances and food security in the home. X3
I also just remembered.. I know a lot of my other southern friends will also do less "traditional" Christmas and/or Thanksgiving meals and make things like fried catfish, crab boils, and greens (either collards or turnip).
Definitely a Canadian
This whole _hot-dog-in-a-jar_ sadness must stop. We are Americans, we *GRILL!* It comes from spending time on weekends at home with many people coming through the house, we feed you & care for you. We take pride in it. We Grill.
Yes.... though here "grill" means barbecue. In the uk, "grill" means broil in the oven. Just wanted to make sure your comment was clear. Lol... hot dogs go on a grill outside. And never come on a jar. Ew
@@hkandm4s23I was about to also explain the difference in grill vs bbq since Brits definitely "grill" in their oven as there is no setting for "broil". Yes, hot dogs are not "grilled" (or broiled here in the states) in American ovens. They are grilled on an outdoor bbq.
My old roommate boiled her dogs! An American! 🫢
Hot dogs in a jar aren't that bad. It's just a different to pack a hot dog. The shrink-wrapped packs have brine in them as well.
As for packaging, I have never seen hot dogs in a jar or can. They come in various counts of basically shrink wrapped plastic. There is a liquid inside the plastic, but I'm not sure it would be called a brine and definitely less volume than the jar shown.
As for how they are cooked, there are two ways basically. Outside on the BBQ grill or boiled in water. Also, at least where I am, the boiled method is considered "cheaper" as far as taste and effort, regardless of actual price.
I love how fascinated people are about Solo cups. They tend to be the cheapest cups you can buy in large quantities so you won't feel bad throwing them out.
How do you play beer pong without solo cups??
i imagine college movies are too blame for that..
@@fowltief Though the reason filmmakers use them in college movies is the exact same reason real college students use them... Very cheap to buy in bulk! Granted, Hollywood did lean towards the red ones (rather than clear) because that way they didn't actually have to fill them all up with any liquids. But, real people use them too. What can I say, they're a good brand of plastic cup! Cheap but, sturdy. Honestly, in real-life, I see them most often at backyard barbecues.They do come in other colors now but, they used to only come in red so, that's what people still think of as the default (kinda like a highlighter... you can get them in lots of colors but, the default will always be yellow).
... did you not see the background behind him
Sometimes I wash them because I feel bad about waste and single use plastic. They do last long and make excellent water cups for painting!
The funny thing is “hot dogs” are actually a German food. From a documentary I watched called “The Food that Built America”, a concession owner at Coney Island (or Atlantic City) decided to put German sausages in a bun to make them more portable, and call them “hot dogs” as a sales gimmick. If topped with chili and onions, we call them a Coney Island. If you put cheese on the chili and onions, you have a chili cheese dog. If you put every condiment in the refrigerator on them, you have a Chicago dog. Then there’s the corn dog. The variations go on and on.
Umm.... Excuse me...."Americans don't eat Oreos cereal or marshmallow cream all that much"? 1) The food gods just gave us permission to have Oreos....for breakfast... 2) Only 3 words needed to explain the need to keep Fluff in the pantry... Fluffer Nutter Sandwiches... If you're my age...and didn't live a treat deprived childhood...you've probably had these a few (or several) times already. For those who have never heard of these wonderful things... Peanut butter on a slice of bread + Fluff on a another slice of bread + slices put together = sweet & salty perfection 😋
What state does the Fluffer Nutter mean a sandwich? I'm from CA and I've never heard of this but I would, totally try it.
@@mirandarobinson6005I’m from Vermont and I had fluffer nutter sandwiches my whole life!
Came here to say this! I'm in PA, and Fluffernutter sandwiches are a childhood staple. Adults love them too. In fact, I had one just the other night!
@@taywuu Same! (Peanut Butter and Fluff is a Fluffernutter)
Straight never heard of these till i read a book series featuring a character from the North East. Myself lived through the Southeast
7:41 Oh I wonder if they saw the soldiers eating spam and assumed the meat was raw...
Or potted meat! 🤦🏽♀️
Devil ham salad brand and Devil tuna salad were pop-off lids 3 ozs aluminum can eat it out of the can or cooked it in eggs like hash brown been around 1950s camping and hiking and fishing in Arkansas and Missouri and Kansas and Texas America's States. Probably longer than 1950s and still selling them now 2024 and it cheaper.
There is such a thing as tiger meat, which raw hamburger with spices mixed in. Never have seen hotdogs pizza, but it doesn't surprise me if it's true.
Almost certainly it was canned meats like spam or deviled ham.
Spam is a delicacy in Hawaii
NONE OF THOSE DISHES ARE ANYTHING THAT WE EAT HERE. lmao
The amerykaners is mostly accurate
I know 😂 it looks like someone saw an American movie and couldn't see what was on the dish so made up what they didn't know or don't have access. 😅 But all that these things have in common is the most American thing... Making you believe you need to spend your money on it
I am Jewish, and many Jewish Americans eat Chinese food on Christmas. Historically, Chinese restaurants were open on the holiday, and we lived near each other in the NYC region, so the practice started and spread around there! After all, what's open on Christmas? Not much. What do you do when you don't celebrate the holiday? You find what you can do, and Chinese restaurants were what we could do.
I thank myJewish neighbors all the time for keeping the Chinese restaurants open on Christmas day, as I don't celebrate it, and I love Chinese food. I dont like roasted whole turkey anyway.
@@lindacotton4045 ha, love that!
Even though you don't celebrate it, why don't y'all have a big family gathering and cook? Does that come to close to celebrating?
@@jasminespencer2872 I mean, we don't celebrate it so why would we? Christmas just isn't a holiday for us, it's just another day. Although, historically there is Nittel Nacht, nowadays in mostly Hasidic communities. Also, Christian holidays, really any holidays of the dominant culture we were living in, were typically marked by violence/pogroms and pushes for assimilation against us, so there's less of a whole cheerful mood historically with holidays like Christmas, Easter, etc. Some Jews in Christian majority countries do take the day(s) off around that time if they're given and use it to do various things, and that sometimes includes seeing family. But yeah, it's just like not a holiday in Judaism, and it's a distinctly Christian holiday, so religious Jews already won't celebrate it. Some secular assimilated Jews in Christian majority countries do celebrate it, completely divorced from religion though. Some Jews of interfaith Christian/Jewish backgrounds might also celebrate it in various ways, as well.

I’m so psyched that “filet American” made the list! When I was 11, my family was visiting the zoo in Antwerp in the Netherlands, and I ordered that for lunch thinking it was going to be a hamburger. Boy, was I disappointed!! The restaurant was absolutely shocked, flabbergasted that Americans not only don’t eat that but have never heard of it, and that this 1 young American thought it was utterly disgusting. 😂
Isn't it sooo ironic, that in France they have " American " Sandwiches with " French fries " on them. French fries not actually bieng from France. It's like watching a gastro- verbal tennis game. " Love"anyone?.
@@Arthur-hy1nf The "French" in French fries refers to a French cut (a.k.a. julienning) for the potatoes. So the style of cut for the vegetables, not the origin of the dish.
@@Arthur-hy1nf Not gonna lie, I don't think I'd say no to that sandwich though, looked pretty good to my eye's.
Antwerp is not in the Netherlands, it’s in Belgium. Confirms our thoughts on American geographical knowledge.
I don't think I could bring myself to eat most of these things. Having said that the U.S. is huge and diverse, with many cultures importing their traditions and we have an interesting conglomeration of this. TBH, it is kind of fun to pick and choose things to incorporate into a "new tradition " FYI turkey at large holiday celebrations was also a marketing ploy, and as turkey was relatively cheap per serving, everyone went with it. (Our family was huge even by American standards so we often had a choice between turkey, ham, beef roast, or fish ( usually salmon). Sides included carrots, corn or green beans. Mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, and a cheesy potato casserole. Breads included warm dinner rolls, pop-overs (which if I am not mistaken is Yorkshire Pudding). Each household is expected to bring something to share so choices vary year to year.
9:31 Here in the US, "California Style" usually has things like avocado and spinach, and possibly sun dried tomatoes; NOT whatever that travesty is.....
Californian here. No matter where I go, “California style” seems to mean adding avocado. Weirdly, some places have started meaning it to be “add fries.” Like…what?
This was honestly the most shocking thing of the whole video for me
In SE Texas california style usually means the addition of fresh veggies witch usually does include avocado
@@foxx121 That’s hilarious! I’ve been to NY and ordered a sandwich called CA Style and it had avocado. My husband’s family is Southern and they all say that happens in their neck of the woods. I guess TX is…special?
@@kirstenlandon3043Yeah California style (at least in California) usually means french fries and/or avocado added.
My favorite part of the ad about red solo cups is how one of the movie examples is Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which takes place in Canada and not the United States.
Yes, we do use placemats. So the hot plates don’t ruin the finish on the wood table. Not on the bar counter in the kitchen though. We use coasters to set drinks on too in the living room or den. Not everybody in the states use these, but a lot of us do.
I’ve never used nor met someone that uses a placemat! Just goes to show that where you live in the US impacts the little culture differences!
Growing up, we used placemats when we had a special dinner, like a family member's birthday, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. We didn't really use them outside of that.
Yep, my family has placemats but rarely use them. Only for Thanksgiving and Christmas but since we go to an aunt's family for those holidays now, they aren't used. There still in a drawer somewhere. The only other time I used one was as a kid. There were a lot of cute kid placemats that my parents used for us and my cousins so we wouldn't scratch the table lol. As a little kid, my cousins and I were really into using our utensils to draw into the table. The cute kid placemats distracted us.
I have never seen an adult placemat in my life. I used to get them as a kid in the 90s at like Bob Evans with a small pack of crayons. I don't know if places still do this or not though.
My family has a fancy table that we use place mats or table cloths on, and we have a less fancy table we don't use place mats on
That Dutch "Fries Sauce" resembles Tartar Sauce which is normally served with fried seafood. Hot dogs in JARS and CANS ?????? You Brits are nuts !!!!!
Yeah, interestingly enough Tartar sauce was invented by the French and was their idea of what the Mongols used on their food (Who they called Tartars, hence Tartar sauce always being capitalized)....Steak of Tartar came out of the same French perception of the Mongols as well
As we all know, Vienna Sausages are a traditional staple of Austrian cuisine. And they think WE'RE stupid!
Hotdogs in a jar are thing in the south.
@JIMBEARRI I agree Hotdogs served in a jar uck 🤮 I get the Nathan's or Boar's Head in the refrigerator section or when my Hubby and I lived in Brooklyn, NYC before moving to Florida in 2021 we had season tickets for the Cyclones which is the minor league for the Mets Baseball Team, but first we would go to the actual Nathan's and get their Hotdogs and Fries sometimes with cheese on top of the fries and for me sometimes the onions with the sauce and Ketchup on my Hotdogs 🌭 but usually just mustard and sauerkraut 😊
@@angeladpsp1 Periods are awesome! Too bad you didn't use any.
I’m an American woman 64 years old. I use placemats and they are very common with my family and friends. We used tablecloths more often for special occasions when growing up but they are much bulkier to wash and I hated ironing them. Placemats are found in all the home goods stores. I change them seasonally and have holiday themed ones too. Yes, protects my antique table’s finish and decorative as well. I don’t think young people use them as much now though.
Peanut butter, marshmallow Fluff and banana sandwiches.
I use them all the time. 😊
Most of our younger homeowners don't use either. partly because we don't have nice tables to worry about.
This is very much generational and socio economic. Most younger and poorer Americans don’t use table mats OR table cloths.
We do, I have my great grandma's table cloths, 100 years old and still perfect and on the tables every holiday along with her China 😊
Lmao our Christmas dinner we usually have on Christmas Eve & it consists of King crab legs, walleye [(a local fish that's very good) dipped in egg, covered in crushed Ritz crackers & fried on a kitchen griddle in copious amounts of butter] & meatballs with mashed potatoes with about 5-7 side dishes followed by pumpkin pie. Then we open presents & envelopes of cash.
On Christmas day my parents together (both dad & mom will cook this) will make a very large turkey dinner with all the fixings & divide it up into 6 (a portion for them, a portion for each of their 3 kids & a portion for each of their 2 young adult grandchildren) & they'll play santa & drop off Christmas dinner while we are each with our other families so there are leftovers for us. My parents are exceptional people & it's so great.
It’s never not funny that red solo cups have become this iconic, mythical American thing. Yes, we really do use them for parties. They’re cheap, sturdy, disposable, and sold in bulk. Making them good for large gatherings.
And bad for the environment
@@lindastaines8288do you have room on your kitchen for 50 or 75 glass tumblers that you use once or twice a year?
We use red solo cups at family gatherings. Writing names on cups avoids young children and tipsy adults from losing cups and using 3 or 4 each. Less wasted soda anf booze. Maybe it is an environmental tradeoff.
@lindastaines8288 sick of " green machine" trying to ruin everything... I vow to use my red solo cup wisely.
You also don’t have to worry about breaking your good glassware. A backyard bbq, children, and glass are not a good mixture!
@@chrisstevens410 no , use waxed paper recyclable cups for parties in the garden. They won’t recycle plastic cups
I'm originally from Japan. The Christmas KFC is on point. Imagine my culture shock when my family moved to the US. 😂
So... you have to go back to Japan for some good American food?
Were you ever able to have a more traditional Christmas meal?
@@matthewmoore7447 That was called a joke. In my opinion KFC sucks. Not a joke.
@@matthewmoore7447 its well known that KFC tastes better in Japan though
@@matthewmoore7447 Try to find your sense of humor.
As a little girl, I read a book called The Little Princesses which was written by the governess to the Princesses Elizabeth (the Queen) and Margaret. She describes the lunch table like this: “The Royal Family in those days did not use white tablecloths. They dined at a glass-topped table, with dinner mats, square, made of parchment. One set had birds, and another set flowers painted on them.” Sounds like placemats to me.
I thought so but I figured it was something a younger guy just wouldn't be familiar with iykwim
@@savannah7375 i sort of decided that it was one of those things, like the word soccer, that the British gave us in the first place then forgot all about.
This video reminded me of staying with my host family in Japan in high school. My host mother said she was going to make me American breakfast. She served me a chocolate chip croissant cut open and toasted with mayo (or some equivalent) smeared directly on it then a slice of cheese and fried egg placed on it. And finally ketchup drizzled on top.
As a Thai American, I can confirm that we have "American" fried rice in my country that made me and my sister confused because we've never seen this dish in America. The rice is stirred fried with ketchup and they throw anything they can think of that are considered "American" ingredients like ham, hot dog, baloney, corn, peas, and eggs. Make it more American? Put a fried egg on top and have a side of more ketchup. Honestly, it actually taste good, but it was definitely not what I would consider "American". At least, they didn't try to put pancakes or waffles in it too.
ngl, i'd try the hell outta that. Sounds weird for sure, but like...I'm not opposed to trying new things, or old things presented in a new way! haha
This reminds me of Korean military base stew. It's good but when I tried it and it had hotdogs and american cheese it made me chuckle
That's the crap they make in jail.
At this point, I think authentic American fried rce is just two servings of fried rice.
My (American) uncle lives in Thailand, and he’s told me that making a dish “American style” over there means adding a fried egg on top! 😂
Traditionally turkeys are used on Thanksgiving and ham/beef is used during Christmas though there are people that do just ham or just turkey for both holidays. We, as Americans, typically mix and match as needed for family and friends. 😊
Yea the Christmas ham
Right. I hate turkey so my mom started making ham during Thanksgiving too. I have followed the tradition and make both for Thanksgiving. I have changed my meat choice for Christmas. To prime rib or beef wellington, instead of ham.
@@srwater1 I had Beef Wellington for this last Christmas and absolutely loved it. It's my go to meal for Christmas now.
One time my mom did duck and it was delicious, but yeah, Turkey for Thanksgiving, Ham for Christmas.
@@roaaoife8186 One of my managers does duck and another one does venison.
So, the "traditional" Christmas meal for Americans varies GREATLY depending on the area, but typically, a turkey or ham for the meat, 1-2 vegetables (typically green beans and mashed potatoes), cranberries (or some other fruit option), and a desert... or 5. Funnily enough, this is also a typical Thanksgiving day meal.
At my house, the traditional Christmas meal was homemade cinnamon rolls. These rolls needed a dinner plate to be properly eaten due to their size, and despite the fact that is was pretty much just carbs and sugar, they were very filling.
mmmmmm, cinnamon rolls 😋 Gotta add that to my Christmas food (Usually whatever we have: turkey, ham, tamales). My grandma made super good cinnamon rolls once. Too bad it didn't get passed down.
Agreed. Though my family never did this as a Christmas dinner because Thanksgiving was just a month before. We did smoked boston butt and had pulled pork sandwiches when I was a kid. My husband and I to steaks, shrimp and what the Brits call "roasties" a particular way of making roasted potatoes. The meal always varies depending on where we go to celebrate with family the week before. No one we celebrate with serves what everyone would consider "traditional".
Carbs, sugar and FAT, lol. Mmmm pure yummyness!!!
Personally I’d say beef is more of a Christmas food. Like a roast?
Traditionally, my Jewish roommate gets Chinese food!
Until my mom decides we’re inviting him to dinner. The actual invitation was: You should come over, there will be food. Food is good.
As someone who was born in an American farming town: some of these foods actually would not be weird to see at a County or State Fair, ROFL… Like, *at all.* 😂 Anywhere else, *absolutely bizarre,* but I mean… you can literally find things like donuts with pickle slices on them at the fair. 😆
First off Americans do use red solo cups at almost every gathering because we don’t want a bunch of cups to wash second I’ve never seen a pizza with hotdogs on it in my life until now and a lot of people I know here use marshmallow fluff on peanut butter sandwiches or to make rice crispy treats but nothing else so we hardly use it at all and most of us still don’t even use it for those things
Marshmallow fluff is usually used to make a fluffernutter sandwich… essentially a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich. It’s a specialty item and not that many people eat it. Fluff can be used for various treats but not a main staple.
Not just specialty but regional specialty, mostly an occasional treat for small children.
Sometimes, FLUFF is an ingredient mixed into desserts and fruit salads. and sometimes mu Aunt would reward my cousins for completing homework and chores with a small lickable spoonful of FLUFF instead of a lolly. 😅🎉
I'm pretty sure all of us eat it once, when we're small children.
Fluffernutters are quite common in New England. At least they were when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. I still eat them to this day.
Definitely a northeast thing. My aunt served fluffernutter sandwiches on a picnic one afternoon with my cousins and sibs. My cousins, raised in the northeast, dove right in. My sibs and I, from the west coast, were grossed out. I think we scraped off the fluff.
Putting raisins on so called American food is extremely puzzling. The only food Americans commonly put raisins in are oatmeal cookies.
And carrot cake, and cinnamon raisin bagels/english muffins.
They are also occasionaly used as an ingrediant in really bad chicken salad. e-e
There raisin bran as a cereal
And granola and trail mix and raisin bread and "poor man's" cake and mincemeat for pie and cookies and some stuffings and in sauces...
raisin bran has always tried to reel us in too
I have lived in multiple states in my life.
You nailed the foods for American Holidays.
However, for Christmass in have seen as other Chrisrmass options - NOT that common - Prime Rib, Rack of Lamb, duck (or quail for small family gatherings), and Lobster (on the coasts and Boston area known for seafood).
These lesser fancy meats I found were done ONLY if:
• the wife was a fantastic cook
• there was a buisness
associate among the guests
you wanted to impress, or
• you had the money for these
more exspensive meats.
I love the video's incredibly Canadian pronunciation of "a-boot", talking about America. It's so cute!
No fried chicken on Christmas. We usually have Turkey and/or Ham
Very few, have Chinese food. Like some Jewish families.
@@jashanestoneand most often ham because we just had Turkey on Thanksgiving
I come from a family and neighborhood where we did have fried chicken on Christmas and ham
Yea, most people have some traditional family dinner, ham or turkey or what ever that family likes. Some people don't celebrate Christmas, or don't have family to celebrate with. Those people usually end up with Chinese takeout, mostly because the Chinese restaurants are pretty much guaranteed to be open. For some people it has become traditional.
@@beerisgood25 my family ended up at a Chinese restaurant for Christmas dinner because the dog got the turkey. Exactly like “A Christmas Story” except they weren’t even open (they forgot to turn off the sign) we had their Christmas dinner with their entire family and us. 🤣
FYI… they served Duck.
"Authentic American" was hilarious 😂 The poor hot dog is being so abused. 😂 Thank goodness Europe hasn't tried to master biscuits and gravy. The horror to try that.
Brits combining cookies with savory brown gravy: *how can Americans enjoy this??* 😅
Given that Brits think "jelly" means Jell-O, the average PB&J goes over really poorly. With misunderstandings like that, it's no wonder folks over there think our food is disgusting!
@@FractalNinja Just confirms we are, indeed, two peoples separated by a common language.
But hotdogs are originally from Germany, so why are you getting your panties in a twist about them?
grits. am surprise grits have not become an american fixture there. Worse tasting souther food that you need lots of butters just to make it appetizing
Marshmallow fluff is mostly used in recipes, like fudge. Goldfish are INCREDIBLY common, especially for little kids. Parents will keep baggies of goldfish or cheerios on hand when they're out in case toddlers get hangry.
We mostly do turkey or roast on Christmas, BUT the best thing is that a lot of Chinese restaurants are open on Christmas day and for a lot of non-Christians, going out for Chinese on Christmas Day is a tradition.
That pizza is insane, even by California standards.
Japan, please take notes. Authentic American Christmas feasts consist of honey glazed ham, candied yams, maybe a whole chicken or turkey with some stuffing, and lastly for dessert we have a variety of puddings (don't confuse for British pudding), pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, and maybe a fruit cake if you really hate your friends and family(fruit cake is not for everyone). To top it all off, we sometimes make homemade eggnog, for the adults. For the kids we get the store bought non-alcoholic eggnog, same taste, but no risk of drunk children.
We used to throw the fruitcakes at each other as kids. It was like getting hit with a soft brick and it didn't damage the cake at all.
Eta... Every kid under the age of twelve in my family got a shot of whiskey at every family gathering... Old school southern usa version of make sure the children are seen but not heard... because they're too drunk to speak.
@waitwhat1029 Haha!! You had a fun childhood then.
@@ThomasTheAlphaAndOmega8509 ... I don't really remember the holidays but otherwise yep. Lol.
@@waitwhat1029 golly gee I wonder why XD
sweetened pork is disgusting. our ham was never glazed, and it was def never spiral cut...those things dried out quick.
I have never seen hotdogs in a jar before.
So for Christmas dishes, it's rather diverse here in America. The main thing is ham. But there's also a lot who eat turkeys, despite Thanksgiving happening basically a month prior. My family eats prime rib, there's people who eat corned beef, others eat geese or duck, some eat fish. Christmas dinner is not that uniformed compared to Thanksgiving here in the states.
we have lamb at Christmas
The classic Thanksgiving dinner includes old-time favorites that never change: turkey, gravy, stuffing, potatoes, veggies, and pie.
I love how you come to America’s defense!! 😂😂😂 sidenote: peanut butter and marshmallow fluff is called a fluff’n nutter sandwich. It’s delicious, but mostly eaten by picky children lol
YES! i was one of those picky children!
and me
When Mom made something awful for dinner, Dad and I would sneak to the basement to have peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches. Marshmallow fluff and peanut butter spread on a graham cracker is also great.
And a lot of adults, myself included, will eat Fluffer-Nutters too
FLUFFERNUDDERRRRS!!!! so good. I eat it on a spoon sans bread with like 5 or 6 chocolate chips on it.
1:40 Spreadable marshmallow fluff is occasionally used in desserts, but I've also used it in a Fluffer-Nutter. It's a peanut butter and fluff sandwich, usually on untoasted white bread.
I loved Fluffernutters when I was a kid. Probably because I hated jam and jelly (still do), which were the standard peanut butter accompaniments. Nowadays I eat my peanut butter sandwiches plain, or occasionally with a drop of honey or a bit of Marmite. (Yeah, that's what I said.)
@@bobbuethe1477 Odd. Lol. But you get your protein, right? My girls have been eating peanut butter and Nutella.
Marshmallow fluff is great for making s'mores
Fluff is regional in the US. Specifically came from Massachusetts. I think everyone in New England ate fluffernutters as a kid
Can confirm, fluff was invited in Somerville, MA. They have a fluff festival celebrating it every year. A fluff and peanut butter or a fluffernutter sandwich was a staple in grade school lunches.
Lol, Kentucky Fried Chicken mostly isn't even open on Christmas in America.
Wouldn't pass it up though. Lol
I was thinking that too.
They're typically open on Christmas Eve (as are most fast food chains), however, if they really wanted to celebrate an authentic, secular American Christmas they would ironically grab some Chinese takeout.
No, so we buy it for Christmas Eve, lol
@@cathyhatfield445 ahhh sushi is not Chinese its Japanese.
It's interesting to me how the red Solo cups became an "American cultural thing". Those cups are just the most common type of plastic disposable cup you find in American grocery stores. Americans weren't making some kind of statement when using them for parties. It's just the most common disposable cup in the grocery store and for some reason it became some sort of cultural phenomenon outside of the U.S.
Yeah that’s what makes it a cultural thing 😆 it’s commonly used as part of our culture.
@@midwestbramble6435 I know, but nobody in America thought of it as a cultural thing until people from other countries pointed it out. Years ago, if some other type of disposable cup was the most common type found in stores, those would have been used instead and Americans wouldn't have thought twice about ditching the red disposable cups. There was nothing cultural about American's use of red Solo cups. They were just used because they were what was available. Now it's become sort of a cultural thing after people from other countries made it a cultural thing and word got back to Americans. Prior to that, Americans never gave a second thought about disposable cups.
we are actually making a statement about them, in fact there is a song "red solo cup" by Toby Keith-3x platinum it was so popular here
@@jackieturner1403 It became a cultural thing because people from other countries pointed out that the red Solo cup was unique. Then Americans may have played it up when they found out and songs like Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith were made.
We do use red solo cups but that's generally a college party thing where nobody has the money for enough proper glasses for a large group. If you're hosting a cookout with beer and you're over 35 you're using proper glasses, or if you're having people over for dinner and serving wine you use wine glasses.
while in Scotland my wife and I noticed American Toaster Waffles sold with the serving suggestion that we serve them with baked beans on top. The shop clerks were somewhat surprised when we made a disgusted face at that. we put butter and syrup on them or butter and jam.
I hope you set them straight that, no, Americans do NOT eat beans in the morning like the Brits do.
Omg I am so sorry that was even said. No we do not eat it with beans ewww. Jams, or Maple Syrup or even butter
Marshmallow Fluff was originated in Massachusetts, USA. It is used much more in New England than the other states. Most common is a scoop of Fluff on top of a mug of hot cocoa, a peanut butter and Fluff sandwich (a fluffernutter), or mixed with Rice Krispies and butter then pressed in a pan and chilled to make a sweet and tasty treat.
Rice Krispy treats, hot cocoa, lucky charms and smores are the only acceptable uses of marshmallows in my book and so nostalgic
😮 I've never had a scoop on hot cocoa before though. I missed out
@@savannah7375 You're missing out if you never had a Fluffernutter too. Don't think about it just do it.
@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive Pretty sure it's marshmallow without the gelatin that keeps its shape. Gelatin is animal bones, so I mean do with that info how you wish.
I've never had Fluff till I was an adult, and that was as a dip for a party at work called cheesecake dip. If you like cheesecake here's the base recipe. If you have a favorite flavor of cheesecake you add to it.
Combine one 8oz block of soften cream cheese and one 7.5oz jar of fluff. You can dip Nilla wafers, graham crackers, or fruit. Enjoy!
And it’s often used to make fudge; arguably the BEST use of marshmallow fluff.
I can confirm, KFC for Christmas is wild. As a Midwest American, we typically celebrate Christmas Eve with a dinner that includes turkey, ham, green been casserole, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls. For desert its pies, fruits. For special drinks you will see ciders, mulled wine, and eggnog. If you come to my family's home on Christmas Eve we enjoy whisky, and other spirits, as Christmas season can be extra stressful.
In Texas, my family does Mexican food for Christmas. Everything you said is what we do at thanksgiving. 😊
@@heatherharroff4790 You pull out eggnog for Thanksgiving? Weird. Much of the stuff they listed I might do for either holiday, _except_ the turkey. Turkey is for Thanksgiving in my household, never Christmas. Some other meat will be the focus of Christmas, like maybe a holiday ham. Of course, eggnog is a Christmas exclusive.
@@chere100 no no, I just meant the food. Not the drinks. Eggnog is def Christmas.
Weirdly enough, my relatives who live in Japan told me about this one and apparently it was some big promotional thing KFC did back in the day when they were trying to get their foot in the door there. I'd seen it in a few anime, but it's just not the kind of thing that comes up on the rare occasions that you talk to distant relatives, so I just never thought to ask. I thought THEY came up with it there, like people who are Jewish and eat Chinese food on Christmas (still don't know the story on that one, but I've seen it a few times). I took a picture of me & my brother eating KFC with the tree in the background, looking like such an idiot and sent it to them, but I really didn't care because after spending the ENTIRE DAY cooking for Thanksgiving: turkey, honey glazed ham, homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole, from scratch pies, rolls, corn on the cob, cranberry sauce (to hell with stuffing - Stove Top can kiss my arse)... after all that, I was NOT looking to do all that again the very next month. 🤣
From the Midwest also, I've seen people do Christmas turkey but I think ham is much more common, we always do rib roast ourselves though.
Christmas dinner tradition in our family has always been roast beef. We have turkey for Thanksgiving and ham for Easter. All of our holiday meals have about 5 sides and a dessert.
Fried chicken is a summer and picnic food for us.
That was hysterical! As an American I've never heard of any of those things except for the red cups. Those red cups do appear at a lot of casual parties. And placemats. I admit we use those. The rest of it, though, was news to me.
We use the red cups so much they made a s#:tty country song about them.
Never knew the forgettable red party cups are considered a luxury 🤣
You can thank movies for a lot of that
I prefer the blue ones - if I'm allowed to say that. No politics intended.
Especially since they were invented to make cleaning up easier and eliminate washing dishes.
yeah. In my area, red party cups are generally intended for one of two things: Either a college party, in which case they're considered trashy, or a children's party, in which case they're considered a nuisance, since the family that brought them ALWAYS seems to miss between 2 - 5 of them.
Hollywood can sell dirt if it wants to
“Spaghetti” Westerns are a subgenre of Westerns whose name references the circumstances and location of their filming. Generally, a Spaghetti Western is a low-budget film produced by Italian directors (hence the “spaghetti” connection) and filmed in Europe, primarily in Almería and the Tabernas Desert.
Marshmallow fluff is most commonly used to cook a fudge recipe, or in a bizarre sandwich called a "fluffernutter" (peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread).

"If You Have Chinese Food In America, Do You Have Fortune Cookies Before Or After Your Meal?"
Typically, we'd have fortune cookies after the meal

Fortune cookies were also invented in California

Traditional Christmas dinner is usually either ham or turkey and many have both, but fried chicken has never been a Christmas meal here in America.
No, KFC isn't even OPEN (as far as I'm aware) on Christmas here.
We do like our steaks at LEAST somewhat pink inside... but ground beef, raw? NO. maybe also a medium rare hamburger now and then, but at least PARTIALLY cooked.
No never seen that pizza, pineapple pizza is actually USUALLY pineapple, ham, sometimes any/all of the following: bell peppers, mushrooms, olives (green for me), spinach, bacon, Canadian bacon, Jalapeños & extra cheese.

You're correct, Lewis.
But, it's not just turkey. Some Americans will have a goose or even a roasted ham, either substituting the turkey or in addition to the turkey
Standing rib roast is also common if you can afford it.
In Texas, we might do brisket instead of ham or turkey for Christmas.
Prime rib was what we always had growing up
yeah historically for me it's been ham instead of turkey
and the leftovers are just pure chef's kiss
I, personally, detest turkey. I'll fix something else--like roast pork.
FLUFF!!! Was created in Lynn Massachusetts around WW1.
Massachusetts un official state sandwich is the 'Fluffanutter' peanut butter and fluff. Amazing! Def worth trying.... it is common all winter to drop a spoonful in hot Cocoa. It is also used in baking. Makes a fantastic frosting too.
Makes fabulous fudge. The recipe use to be on the lid. My sister won first prize at our Grange fair every summer for years.
oh dear lord, i never thought of putting it in hot cocoa 🫢 i have to try that!
I could see adding it to hot coca since it's already common to put marshmellows in it.
I used to eat it on ice cream.
Mom used fluff to make Rice Krispies squares .
It is NOT chinese fortune cookies! Here in Houston Texas they are called "oriental" fortune cookies and are MADE in America! You will find them passed out to guests with the request for payment of your meal in Chinese, Japanese, East Indian, and Southeast Asia and Turkish Restaurants! All of these very cheap and almost tasteless cookies are made in America!
LOL! We have turkey on Thanksgiving and ham on Christmas. Some folks have turkey for both holidays. Anyway, it's just a good time for family to get together and have a big meal.
Well for my family turkey is interchangeable and for several other families in the US
“America should sue!” Hysterical 😂😂😂
We would if we could 😞
For the foreign folks and brits: The Classic American breakfast has a few different variations that depend on preference, but always includes eggs (often a large serving of them, minimum 2 but 3 is not uncommon), bread, bacon and/or sausage (breakfast sausages), potatoes as either home fries or hashbrowns, as well as coffee (tea if you don't drink it). for the bread, sometimes, a hotcake, pancake, or waffles are part of it but most of time it is toast.
For me, i like me eggs over easy, sausage over bacon, home fries, espresso over a normal coffee, and toast.
You forgot the biscuits, ain't breakfast without biscuits 😂
@@itshunni8346 grits
It is all about the All Star Special at Waffle House.
Buttermilk waffle

Toast (Regular or Raisin bread)
Common basics for Christmas dinner roasted stuffed turkey the stuffing is a seasoned bread look up (stove top stuffing), sides mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, , baked macaroni and cheese stuffed mushrooms and deviled eggs and some like a side of cranberry sauce, bread rolls warmed with butter, some steamed vegetables, some people use that marshmallow fluff or real marshmallows to top cooked yams and to melt in the oven mixing butter in sugar to created candied yams. Desserts are usually a pie, like apple, cherry or blueberry pies are really common
Hot dogs are usually preferred to be 100% beef with the most common topping options being mustard some will like ketchup instead or with . Grilled onions or sauerkraut are common add ons. Another common is the chili cheese hotdog a hot dog on a bun with beef chili no beans topped with grilled onions and cheese.
The most common cereals will be Cheerios, bran or frosted flakes with dried fruit such as raisins or strawberries. There are many other popular options but these are the most replicated by various brands.
Pizza options that are most common, cheese pizza just bread sauce and cheese, pepperoni pizza 🍕, vegetable pizza( a cheese pizza with onions bell peppers, mushrooms, and black olives.).
Usually, the more popular hot dogs in my region are just pork, or a pork, turkey, & beef mix. The beef hot dogs are more expensive. Honestly, I don't care for hot dogs. I try to find actual metts, as they taste better, but the good metts are hard to find.
That "American Breakfast" sounds like a college kid's hangover breakfast the day after having a cookout party. 🤣
Or "Just throw whatever you have in the fridge on a cheese pizza and heat it up"
Red solo cups are american, but the obsession other countries have is crazy
We really use them when we are in high school and college!
Yes, red solo cups are very traditional for parties. The marks are measurements for different drinks.
Placemats used to be common, but not so much.
Okay.. I'm American and I never knew the ridges on the cups were measurement lines. I'm assuming then the bottom ridge is one full shot yeah? That's wild to me but also really effing cool.
Also agree on the placemats for the most part.. I had them growing up and we had to use them for each meal at the table. I do actually have them now too, but they're not used for eating on at this point. We use them as floor mats for cat litter boxes, food and water dishes, and also to work on for arts and crafts like when painting or gluing etc. XD
The marks aren't for measurement. It's a myth. It's on the Solo website.
The red American cups are typically used as party cups. But not just that, some like to have them on hand so that they don't gotta do dishes or they're used when you're unable to do dishes cause a storm knocked out the power.
I mean, we've used placemats, but they aren't all that common outside of formal use. The red cups are more common, but they don't have any real 'glamour' factor here. They're just a better option than most paper cup alternatives.
My sister and chef cousin cooked Christmas dinner for the extended family. My sister told everyone to bring nothing but their appetites and, perhaps, a dead president donation (money). My one aunt and uncle brought placemats with all the presidents pictured on them. 😂
Outside of formal use? Were you raised by wolves?
Lol, same we had some plastic placemats as kids but once we were old enough to not make a mess, placemats were for a more formal occasion. Usually put on top of a nice table cloth or something.
We have ham or turkey for Christmas. Ham is the more traditional choice for Christmas. Turkey is more associated with Thanksgiving, but it's still pretty common for all of the family gathering holidays, especially in households where people don't like ham that much. For those who have Easter Sunday dinners, the meal is also usually ham like with Christmas.
When I was growing up, the kids all got together in the afternoon of Christmas Eve and ate at whatever regional fast-food joint was available so we could eat somewhere that wasn't usually available to us...for dinner, we'd eat Stouffer's Lasagna. We'd wake up Christmas morning and eat a big-ass breakfast with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and biscuits. Then that afternoon we'd have a turkey and either a spiral-cut ham or a pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans with bacon, sweet potato pie, yeast rolls, vanilla ice cream drizzled with Hershey's syrup and cinnamon toast.
Now my Christmas meals all consist of Evan Williams and tears. lol
My area of America. Crab legs are an area wide custom many of us do.
I didn't know hotdogs on everything was American! 😂
It’s not. Sounds gross! 😂
Neither did I, and I've been living in the states for my whole life.
Maybe ketchup on everything…😉
The boot in that guy! Its SOOOO Canadian!
14:07 We do not go out of our way for red Solo cups. They're just the cheapest easiest to get your hands on disposable cup. Which is why we like them so much. We wrote a song about it.
I get the feeling that for most countries in the world their general idea of American food is that it is big, strange, and extravagant, and that when they serve “American style” dishes they are serving dishes that are in line with that theme rather than things that they believe we actually eat.
That is kind of the vibe I was getting too. Like maybe it's just for parties or something.
