    I was looking up the difference between a plain scone and a biscuit only the other day and it seems the difference is eggs. There is egg in scones, but supposedly none in biscuits. I did make an American biscuit recipe from Allrecipes US a few years ago, it didn't have egg but it did have sugar.

    • @TheNatashaDebbieShow

      Yes. There is. You can easily judge cultures. The way they treat women for example. Or children. Or animals. Or minorities. It's very easy to tell that some cultures, though not perfect, are better than others.

    @maximushaughton2404 2 года назад +21

    A big problem with food in the US is the disconnect, between knowning what is in what they are eating to what they are eating. It comes down to conditioning by food companies.
    There is a English chief called Jamie Oliver, who started a campain in the UK to try and get kids to eat better food. So he did a TV series where he went in to a school and cook good food. One of the things he did was replace chicken nuggets with real chicken, but the kids would not eat it, wanting the nuggets back. So he got a group of them and showed them how the nuggets were made, in front of them. You got all them noices kids make when they do't like what they see. at teh end he offered them real chicken or nuggets, they choose the chicken.
    Well a few years later he was do the same thing in a town in the US, and had the same problem with the kids. So he did the same thing and the kids re-acted the same all the way though, until they were cooked, and they went straight for the nuggets. Why? because it was nuggets, there was a total disconnet between the process and the end result in there minds.

    • @ashessakura7518

I personally know Jamie Oliver I was his gardener at one of his restaurants in Newquay Cornwall, he always made sure there was a good Sandwich and and a good healthy drink for me when i did the gardening. totally free off charge a great chef and a good friend I used to enjoy his BBQ's once a year for his staff and guys that did jobs for him....

    I believe you are imposing the US McDonalds onto the UK McDonalds. All the beef used in the beef burgers are supplied by UK & Irish farmers. Therefore the animal husbandry is of a higher standard. No artificial growth hormones injected into the cows. You also failed to spot the eggs used were free range eggs meaning that the eggs came from non-battery chickens. They would have lived outdoors to forage for food. The eggs are much healthier to eat. They are also not chlorine washed.

    The UK government in the last few years introduced a sugar tax. This forced all companies operating here to cut sugar or increase their prices. A lot of sodas are now sugar free. This may explain the difference in size and calorie count. Even chocolate bars and bottled Coca cola have got considerably smaller to avoid the higher tax overheads. Jason x

    Biscuit comes from a Latin pottery term meaning "Twice Fired". The French adopted the term in baking.
    Biscuits are small, flat, sweet, twice baked, unleavened caked. Because they have been baked twice most or all the moisture has been evaporated leaving the results crisp and sometimes crumbly.
    Biscuits with no sugar or a touch of sugar and savoury (savory) ingredients are called Crackers.
    American "Biscuits" are not baked twice so are simply NOT biscuits.

    US "sodas" are terrible, generally. Way back when Nixon was running things, he did some sort of "deal" with the farmers over "high fructose corn syrup". The thing is, HFCS isn't as sweet as sucrose (normal sugar) although, gram for gram, it has nearly the same calorific value - add to that "United Statesian's" extra sweet tooth, and you have a pretty unhealthy combination.

    The scone pronunciation debate is a big one here (well, not really, but in jest) so I wouldn't worry about people having a go at you Natasha - you can actually see a clear geographic divide of the pronunciation on maps that people have produced - I'd link to one but usually RUclips doesn't like comments with links it seems

    I'm guessing 20 and 40 nuggets are on the menus in the US but they just don't have boxes for it?

    Hi girls and aunt Linda
    Debbie from Wales here.
    Here in the UK we can get savoury cheese scones, especially nice if you make them yourself and put your cheese if choice in them, the cheese is mixed into the dough. We can also get fruit scones with, currents or raisins in the mix or we can get plain scones.
    Just like you I have not had a McDonalds for years as I enjoy fresh food, and prefer to make my own, as it is just so easy to make burgers from fresh and quick too.

    For a long time I had wanted to try a Big Mac , this eventually happened in the late 1970’s at a McDonald’s Nothingham Uk .
    What a disappointment it was , and so have my rare subsequent visits been .
    Nice cup of tea though .

    the reason to bring up th 20 & 40 portions of chicken nuggets is they appear on the menu. Some outlets have to box sizes.

    Corn syrup seems to in every foodstuff in the US, a lot of food does taste a bit 'chemical' to us in the US - where the stereotype is that UK food has no flavour I think that's probably in part because in the US stuff is drenched in every sauce possible until it's not clear what it's meant to taste of any more. And stuff that wouldn't really be sweet over here, like bred, is quite sugary in the US

      It’s strange that in the US they say uk food is bad, and in the UK we say US food is bad, I guess it’s what you are used to. Saying that we went to the US a few years ago and everything did taste like plastic, we said we wouldn’t go back until the food standards got better.

    First of you guys hi aunt Linda, the 20 and 40 boxes of nuggets are on the menu at the McDonald's the food wars guy went to that's why he included them they just didn't have the boxes, and I wouldn't worry about eating meat at an American's McDonald's most of the meat patties are made out of something called pink fmeat iller it's not real meat it's mainly transfats and other sorts of organic material I don't think there's much meat in them at all, 🤣

    The 20/40 thing is a subtle matter of perception. Your own guy did the two-finger thing to emphasize 'sharing' 20 nuggets. He's suggesting that, whilst aspirational, sharing this quantity is less probable in the US. Whereas the UK 20 nugget box, by it's size, alludes to sharing, as is it's main purpose. At the end of the day, if your going to eat 20, 30 or 40 nuggets, it doesn't matter which side of the pond you're on!
