    The reason the uk doesn’t have many grape flavoured things is bc the “purple” flavour in the uk/Europe was blackcurrant. And growing blackcurrant didn’t get banned here like it did in the US.

    There are regional specials for places across North America, since it's so huge. For example, on the East coast of Canada, you can get lobster sandwiches and other lobster products year-round.
    "Canadian bacon" is basically peameal bacon. It's a pork loin, not belly like most bacon so it's a lot leaner.

I ordered some chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy, but the cashier told me they don't sell it because they sell mash & gravy everywhere at chip shops etc.

    Also, when KFC came out with "HotWings" in the 80's, they had 4 flavor intensities: mild, medium, hot, and "Nuclear" ( the last one may have been an Arizona exclusive because I've never found it anywhere else). With the Nuclear option, you could no longer taste the chicken.

    I really wish Harry would stop saying thay British people cant really differentiate between Breakfast Biscuits and Scones. I get that they look vaguely (to me it's very vague) similar but not enough to be interchangeable and trick the mind. Its just dense, drier, tall breaddy dough in a circilar shape (the only similarity to a scone imo) the texture is visible different (before even breaking into it) to me, I just don't see where the confusion is 🙃

    The double cheeseburger became too expensive for what used to be the dollar menu, so they came up with the Mcdouble to replace the double cheeseburger. That extra piece of cheese cost almost an extra dollar when they first came out, and don't get me started on the breakfast sandwiches. Apparently an egg costs upwards of $2.00. A sausage Mcmuffin is a dollar, and a sausage Mcmuffin with egg is $3 and some change.

    the mcgriddles are probably one of the best US mcdonalds items. also i agree it's a crime that they got rid of popcorn chicken. they were very popular so it makes no sense.
    that flaming hot snack wrap looked good tbh. i always hear from aussies the zingers are the best KFC menu item or chicken sandwich. man it's a crime we don't have those memphis BK burgers in US, might actually save BK.
    i remember a while back, BK had this breakfast item that was like mini cinnamon buns and they were godlike. i completely forgot about the pies they had there.
    it's really bothering me that Harry is having the (english) muffins without grape jam/jelly and the biscuit from kfc without gravy. it doesn't feel like an authentic representation.
