  • American Couple Reacts: Tasting British Foods, Snacks & Drinks for the FIRST TIME! Part 3! Firstly we would like to send our most sincerest condolences on the passing of Queen Elizabeth ll. We filmed this video a day prior to her passing and we mean no disrespect in posting it. Many have asked that we share it to help provide a distraction from all the sadness. We hope it offers a smile or two.
    We tried a lot of different things in this episode. From Sausage Rolls, Mushy Peas, to Galaxy Bars and Monster Munch. Blackcurrant and Orange Tango drinks and much more! Join us as we taste these for the first time and give our very honest rating to each item. Some will surprise you as they have us! Thanks for watching and our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth.

    Hi everyone. As we said in the opening, we mean no disrespect posting this video after the passing of Queen Elizabeth. Many asked that we would post to help offer a distraction in this incredibly sad time. This episode was recorded before her passing. We hope this offers a smile to you. God bless you all, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

      When a monarch dies, the saying is "the Queen is dead. Long live the King!" all as one sentence. We're all a bit numb (kind of thought she'd outlive us all!) but the statement means we recognise that life has to go on. We certainly don't expect the world to stop turning for us so keep up the good work ladies x

    During World War 2 when food was very very short there was a fear that the lack of vitamin C could lead to health issues such as scurvy. The UK's only real abundant fruit crop, high in Vitamin C, was blackcurrants. It really caught on and became a firm favourite.

    Blackcurrants carry four times the amount of vitamin C as oranges, and double the amount of antioxidants as blueberries. They are a tart fruit and we quite like the tartness to counteract sweet so there is a lot of blackcurrant stuff over here. A lot more artificial sweetner used over here as various Governments try to tax sugar or pressure manufacturers to reduce sugar (which to be fair is not exactly good for us). Taste is a funny old thing, really. We always used to see Hershey's on American shows and it was so sad when we finally got to taste it and to me, it tasted like the smell of vomit. But apparently, if you grow up with it like American kids do, you don't taste that at all.

    Pickled Onion Monster Munch are the best crisps in the world. I love Ribena and I think it’s fairly strong, if it tastes watered down to you I definitely don’t wanna drink anything in America lol I think my teeth would fall out immediately. Tayto’s are Irish crisps, prawn cocktail sauce is supposed to be the flavour, not the actual prawn or shrimp itself, I love Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps but I have a phobia of prawns so have never actually eaten a real prawn cocktail, only the crisps. I only drink Zero sugar fizzy drinks cos I can’t stand too much sugar.

      Exactly. A majority of American candy and drinks are made with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar and more unhealthy. Also it is even sweeter than sugar so the comments saying it's watered down or not very sweet is easy to understand why.

    The difference between the colour of your Orange drinks is that the colouring, Tartrazine, is actually banned in the UK as a carcinogen . A lot of our sodas and candies have moved away from natural sugar as our Government puts an extra tax on sugary stuff to try and combat obesity -especially childhood obesity - and Type 2 Diabetes. I have T2D, so most of what you've just eaten is a big " no - no" for me, unfortunately!

      Tartrazine is not banned in the UK or the EU which we were part of previously, but it has been reduced from 300mg/kg max dose to 50mg/kg in food applications. However, virtually no-one uses this anymore or any of the other 5 colours from the 'Southampton 6' because of the bad press associated with it allegedly causing hyperactivity. I do remember seeing Tartrazine E102 as a listed ingredient on a brand of mushy peas a few years ago. The Americans know Tartrazine as FD&C Yellow No. 6 dye. The other reason for the differences in colour is that there are no limits on how much colour you can add to foods in the US FDA regulations where dosages are restricted in the UK and EU.

    Love this video 😂 I love the onion flavoured things. Prawn cocktail isn’t actually prawn flavour, it’s the flavour of the sauce you have on a prawn cocktail. Star bars have peanuts but they don’t have peanut butter. All flavourings in the UK are natural flavourings and natural colours. No artificial colours or flavours so things might taste weaker to you that actually taste strong to us. Also Britain had a massive cut on sugar and started taxing companies more on sugary things so they started replacing sugar with sweetners. Wagon wheels used to be even bigger when I was a kid, and used to have a tonne of jam. But to reduce sugar they reduced the jam. Everything was better when we were kids LOL

      It's probably a bit of both. For example, the baked beans that Heinz originally sold in the UK were the same as what they sold in the USA, but over time they changed the recipe to more appeal to British tastes. Which is why American and British style baked beans are so different today.

      @@Tom-ed-w In regards to baked beans, even a home made recipe would be radically different between the UK and US styles.
      But yes, there are a lot of chemicals that are either illegal or voluntarily not used in the Uk that are used in food in the US.
      One example was highlighted in the video: Fanta is so much more orange in the US because it contains two colours - sunset yellow (E110/Yellow 6) and allura red (E129/Red 40) - that are thought to cause hyperactivity in children. There was talk of a ban in the UK, but this was changed to requiring a warning on the packaging and most major brands stopped using them anyway.

    My gran worked as a lab tech at Mars when they were developing Galaxy. The reason it tastes different is that it has a different crystal structure that they achieved using a double melt process. This was discovered, as many great things are, by accident.
    Mars did most of their product development work in the UK, out of their factory in Slough. We used to be able to tell it was about to rain because the wind would blow from a particular direction and carry the smell of chocolate over ten miles away.

    Blackcurrant production in the United States is relatively limited. The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) was introduced by English settlers at the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and was cultivated on some scale, particularly in New York. The plant acts as a host for the white pine blister rust that threatened the timber industry. In 1911, the federal government banned the cultivation, sale, and transport of blackcurrants to protect the white pine. Government programs systematically destroyed blackcurrant plants by chemical spraying.
    The federal ban was lifted in 1966, though many states maintained their own bans. Research showed that blackcurrants could be safely grown some distance from white pines and this, together with the development of rust-immune varieties and new fungicides, led to most states lifting their bans by 2003. Blackcurrants are now grown commercially in the Northeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest. Because of the long period of restrictions, blackcurrants are not popular in the United States, and one researcher has estimated that only 0.1% of Americans have eaten one.

    My favourite bit about this video was both of your faces eating the monster munch. 😂 Thank you for that giggle. Our general flavours are quite mild compared to yours, I found out when I visited the US. In the north of England, they eat meat and potato pie (very nice on its own, but then they put beetroot and mushy peas with it) each region has its own speciality which is weird to outsider. Jeez us Scot’s have the worst - HAGGIS 🤢 the only time I’ve ever been able to eat a tiny wee bit, is when it was coated in a whiskey and butter sauce. What about gingerbread? Do you guys have gingerbread (cake)? Again the north of England, Lake District (Grasmere to be precise) is best known for this. Hobnobs? With or without chocolate. It’s an oat biscuit, best with a cup of tea or coffee.
    Hot Heinz baked beans on toast, with brown sauce 😋 it’s a perfect winter evening quick fix dinner if you can’t be bothered cooking. Must be Heinz baked beans though, they are very different to your baked beans. I’m sure loads of suggestions including what I have suggested will have already come to you.
    Our regional foods are either steeped in history and may be modern dishes in primitive form or created they may have been created out of necessity, ie rationing after wwII. On top of that all our individual palettes are different. Everybody is different. You can’t help liking what you like and not liking what you don’t. ❤ yet another great video, thanks guys. 😘

    Artifical sweetners is not good for you as they are chemicals but neither is too much sugar, over time it can take a toll on the body's natural insulin, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, also obesity and heart disease, so neither options are that healthy tbh, artificial colors and flavors are chemicals also and are not good. if only these type of drinks had just natural sugar and flavor from fruits without more being added, might not be as sweet but would be better for you imo.
