This is my reaction to British Highschoolers try Thanksgiving Dinner for the First Time!
In this video I react to Thanksgiving food being eaten by Highschool kids from the UK on Jolly

Original Video - • British Highschoolers ...
The sweet potato casserole isn't made the same in every household. I have had it many different ways, brown sugar topping, marshmallow topping, etc. But my favorite is just the sweet potato by itself. I agree, it is a bit sweet to be eating with a turkey dinner, so I usually serve it for myself as a last course.
I would never eat sweet potato casserole. Ugh. Nothing in it is slightly appealing. The thought of marshmallows for dinner is awful. 🙄
I've had sweet potato casserole every way imaginable. With marshmallows, brown sugar, pineapple...and they're all equally disgusting. I like sweet potatoes baked with butter, salt and pepper. And even then, I have to be in the mood for them.
we usually have green bean casserole, banana pudding; lima beans, homemade man n cheese; many cheesecake desserts my sister experiments with and a large ham and turkey with stuffing
Green bean casserole is a classic! One of many American favorites invented by a Campbell’s worker trying to find good uses for their soup products.
I’m surprised that the pecan pie was so unfamiliar to them; if you take away the pecans it’s basically just a treacle tart
The filling is like golden syrup
I mean. Pecans dont grow across the pond so
@@CloverPandaQ That would explain why none of them can pronounce it correctly.
@@xviper2k correct
The sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows is what's typically called "candied yams". Many recipes call for boiled (or canned!) sweet potatoes, mashed with sugar or corn syrup and a little ginger or cinnamon, spread into a baking dish, then topped with candied pecans, and covered with marshmallows. It's then baked to melt the marshmallows and brown them on top. Serve while still hot, so the marshmallow remains sticky and gooey. Has absolutely no place on a plate with turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy, in my humble opinion.
pumpkin pie is my favorite, its soo good
Most definitely, and with real whipped cream on top.
I was raised in Pennsylvania by grandparents who migrated from Georgia and North Carolina. My great aunt always did Thanksgiving & my grandmother took care of Christmas. My aunt always used her best china and invited anyone who was away from family. Her menu was Turkey and ham, mac & cheese, collard greens, smothered cabbage, candied sweet potatoes, stuffing/dressing, Parker House rolls, and sweet potato pie.🍠
I never had pumpkin 🎃 pie until college.
Thanksgiving was my favorite day except for Christmas growing up. I am from a large family. I have 5 sisters and a brother I am the youngest, I became an aunt at 4 years old. By my teenage years most of my siblings were married with kids, so Thanksgiving was like a family reunion. Everyone brought a their favorite dish. pretty traditional, Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes , giblet gravy, sweet potato casserole, hot rolls, pumpkin pie and mincemeat pie for my brother, after dinner some played penny poker and my father and brother in law played guitar and sang country music, some times joined many times by musician friends. I cherish those memories. My parents and two of my sisters, my brother in law have passed and the rest of us are spread acoss the country so now it is my husband, sister and myself, but still a great day.
What lovely memories of precious times with your family! I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, making new memories!
not gonna lie, when I first saw the jolly video he's watching I was disappointed that rather than giving them some slices of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing and gravy they ate what is basically a left over sandwich. Should watch the "New Zealand Family Celebrates THANKSGIVING For the First Time!" video and react to that. They basically made a whole thanksgiving dinner from scratch and it is much closer to what a Thanksgiving dinner is (to me at least)
Thanksgiving is amongst the top 5 holidays in the USA. Wednesday night through Sunday night are the busiest travel days in the USA; trains, planes, and automobiles. It is also the second busiest cruise vacation weekend as well. With cruises, Christmas week is their busiest.
So in many ways it is the top family holiday.
Other holidays in the top 5 are Christmas, Easter, Memorial, and Independence Day. Memorial and Independence Day do not require traveling, and not everyone is a Christian that celebrates Easter and Christmas specifically, or would rather stay at home.
But for Thanksgiving traveling is expected. It takes many family members to consume a 15-25 pound turkey. Those turkey sandwiches are leftovers. Not many restaurants, fast food or not, sell leftover turkey sandwiches.
As for that sweet potatoes pie in the video, they used full sized marshmallows and not the miniatures most use to top a sweet potato pie in the USA. Pecan pie, like apple pie, can be topped with whip cream or ice cream to lessen the too sweet taste. Those pecans are sitting in a bed of corn syrup, liquid sugar.
Not all Americans eat the same things for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years.
They don't do flavor there. That's so true.. I went there in 1982, food was terrible.
I had to bring American snacks. Scotland was pretty good thoughb
Since our sons & their family get together, I'm making the usual 3 pumpkin pies, a large pan of apple dumplings with caramel sauce, huge roasted turkey with stuffing and an extra pan of dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, candied yams (with pineapple, brown sugar, pecans, butter and mini marshmellows, green bean casserole, fruit salad, hot rolls and a relish tray. We eat usually around 2-3, football is on tv, the grandkids are playing board games or playing outside. If the weather is good all the men and grandsons go out shooting mid morning for a couple of hours while dinner is finishing cooking.
I personally don't make sweet potato casserole - too sweet. I just make mashed sweet potatoes with butter and garlic to accompany the other dinner dishes(mashed potatoes, turkey, ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls, gravy). Dessert is traditionally a mix of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and sweet potato pie.
Pumpkin Pie is my perfect comfort food.
Surely you’ve seen “ A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.” It’s only 22, 23 minutes without ads.
Sweet potatoes are way better with candied pecans on top instead of the marshmallow imo
I think the crumble top is the better.
I once interviewed a serial killer that murdered 17 women and he was way more likable than the kid that hated everything.
I'm stuck between "this was definitely too mean to the sheltered British child" and "this is the most accurate way to describe that kid". Because oh boy, he clearly did not want to be there.
If you watch other reactions with these kids and the guys from Jolly, he always hates everything.

He probably only likes fish head pie and canned beans on toast
😂 💀
I've never had sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows. My family candied sweet potatoes. They would pour canned sweet potatoes into a baking dish with the liquid, add a little brown sugar, and bake them, After I was grown up, my mother would just bake whole sweet potatoes and we would eat them with butter and sour cream. Our family stuffing/dressing recipe included apples, grapes, celery, onion, bread, and seasoning. I add more apples and grapes than my family did because I like having the fruity stuffing/dressing.
We have a huge family so we have turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, ambrosia, green bean, gravy, yams with marshmallows melted on top, and several different pies. That being said I only eat the white meat of the turkey with gravy green beans mashed potatoes. And probably pumpkin pie.... and Christmas dinner would be a huge ham with similar sides ..
Yes the presidential turkey pardon happens but I haven't remembered which president started it.
This video isnt... the most accurate of Jollys i will say. That sandwhich, canned cranberry sauce... Nonono. All gotta be homemade. A giant turkey, stuffing, biscuits and gravy, HOMEMADE cranberry sauce, mac and cheese, casseroles, and most importantly you gotta have home made pie!
Dont forget to add pineapple to your sweet potato casserole
"A month of eating as much food as you can" I have never heard the Holidays described better *LOL*
It’s so true if you have a big family. Every November weekend is traveling to different states for a week. I try to starve around November and December if it’s not a holiday meal because I’d gain 100 pounds
A lot of people don't use marshmallows with the sweet potato. I don't
pumpkin pie is basically a custard. If you make it correctly you roast the pumpkin before you turn it into a puree. Basically what you would consider Christmas spices are in it.
I'm not actually a turkey fan unless it's lunch meat
I never heard of the Thanksgiving sandwich until this video. Born and raised in the US, decades of Thanksgivings. It looks disgusting.
I make Thanksgiving sandwiches the day after Thxgiving. I grew up with them. We just put turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing & mayo on two slices of bread - it is awesome!
It would be wonderful if Jolly could go to a real Thanksgiving at one of their American fan's home, just so they could show what it's like- it's not a series of individual dishes, but the idea of family getting together and having plates loaded with a huge variety of traditional foods (though of course there's 1/3 billion people here and not everyone has the same stuff, sometimes very non-traditional).
Also that sandwich is made of leftovers.
Thanksgiving run is actually a thing! It’s called a Turkey Trot and usually a 5k run
Nobody in America eats that sandwich. That's some made up crap from the TV show Friends
Families
I grew up eating those! My husband's family eats those too. It's made with all the leftovers the next day. You can put on whatever you like, so it can vary.
We def eat those
They left out the turkey, dressing and gravy, the center pieces of a proper Thanksgiving dinner.
It was all in that sandwich.
The best sweet potato casseroles don't have marshmallows. They have pecans. And pumpkin pie always has whipped cream on top!
Our has both lol. Plus salt. Actually a very good sweet and salty
Baked turkey, yams (sweet potatoes with brown sugar and cinnamon) baked. Cornbread dressing. Cornbread mixed with chicken stock, chopped eggs, onions and celery. Mixed and baked as a casserole.
I'm a little late, but this is a typical Thanksgiving Day for my family...I grew up in the Southern US and we always had candied yams (similar to the sweet potato casserole) and other Southern style dishes, but after getting married and moving North to the New England area, my husband's family doesn't do yams or sweet potatoes and some of the other side dishes are quite different too. It's not quite the same as a Southern TD dinner, but I've grown to love it just as much. I took over hosting from my mother-in-law about 15 years ago, so dinner is at our house. People start arriving around noon on Turkey day and we have all kinds of appetizers and assorted beverages leading up to dinner, which is around 3 PM. Our Thanksgiving dinner consists of: 1 whole turkey and a turkey breast, two kinds of stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, butternut squash, mashed turnips, creamed pearl onions, broccoli and cheese casserole and cranberry sauce. There are a couple of sides that other people bring, as well.
There's also always a few relish trays with black and green olives, stuffed celery, cherry tomatoes and sweet pickles and lots of hot buttery "finger rolls". I'd never seen or heard of them before I moved here, so I'm not sure how common they are anywhere else in the US, but they're like a very buttery dinner roll that's the size and shape of a finger, instead of being round - and they're amazing! For dessert: Pumpkin and apple pies, NY Style cheesecake, carrot cake, some type of brownies or blondies and assorted cookies. (the whole thing, from start to finish, is homemade) It takes almost a week of cooking, baking, cleaning, etc. and we average about 30-35 people every year, so it might sound like a lot of food, but it's what everyone likes and lots of folks go home with some of the leftovers. (My husband is the second eldest of 8 kids) Football is watched (or played outside if the weather permits), card and board games are played by young and old, multiple people fall asleep watching the game or a movie, the ladies clean up after the feast and everyone starts heading home around 8 or 9 PM. It's a lot of work, but the day and all of the memories of past Thanksgivings are worth every bit of it!
Just found you! Subscribed!
Turkey, lettuce, mayo salt pepper maybe a little gravy! Perfect! The rest is tooooo much for me!
Sweet potato casserole (with pecans!) is delicious!
I’d like to see you make some American foods! 😂
I don't really like cranberry anything. I'm not a big fan of yams (sweet potatoes) either. But...stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes (especially with sweet corn), pumpkin pie, turkey (good turkey, that is), pecan pie, and cornbread...Yes. We also typically have ham on Thanksgiving, which can also be awesome. Peace, Love!! Happy Thanksgiving!
My family don't even care about the turkey on Thanksgiving. It's all about turkey soup and turkey sandwiches the next few days!
Here in my house in NB we have turkey, potatoes,stuffing(homemade), Brussel sprouts ,yellow beans, gravy, cranberry sauce and then desserts . I hate cranberry sauce!
The after Thanksgiving sandwich is usually turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, dressing/stuffing and maybe some mayo or gravy dip. I like my sweet potatoes roasted or smashed with pecans and brown sugar. What? No stuffing? No green bean casserole? Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!
No, sweet potatoes must be baked with butter and brown sugar. Marshmallows are WAY TOO SWEET.
Thanksgiving is for my family. The time for family reunion. Even more so than Christmas. Everyone cooks something. An it's always a cooking contest. Yes there are some things that everyone has conceded to. My uncles smoked turkey. My moms banana pudding. Grandma giblet gravy. My aunts potato salad. No one even trying to top those.
My family does Turkey or sometimes Pheasant, mashed potatoes, with gravy green bean casserole , stuffing , roll and pumpkin pie and apple pie
Classic pumpkin pie tends to be a bit too dense for me after a big thanksgiving meal so I started making Bon Appetit’s recipe for chiffon pumpkin pie which has more of a fluffy and airy feel. The whipping cream on top includes a bit of sour cream that helps cut through the sweetness a lot. The pecan pies I was used to growing up were also not heavy on the nutty flavors and textures. There was more of a candy feel to them due to the caramelly and treacle-like filling.
Everybody’s favorite dish was always my mom’s dressing. A mix of cornbread and white breadcrumbs with sausage, celery, onions and sage and broth for moisture, perfectly balanced. The turkey, for me, always paled in comparison to the dressing.
Sausage, sage, and broth is my secret to a great stuffing/dressing as well. But I also don't really like turkey so I make a ham - either cider or orange juice glazed. And that was a hit at my last Thanksgiving.
@@LycanFerret I am pro apple cider! Apple cider glaze, apple cider gravy, apple cider donuts. We are in the best time of the year. 🍎
Yes, Chiffon Pumpkin Pie is the best!!!
My brother and I do most of the cooking for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Next to the sweet potato casserole our thanksgiving turkey dressing is the most popular dish. We serve it with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce. I also eat this the next day as a standalone meal. It's not the loose bread stuffing that most recognize, but it is cooked in a 9"x12" pan and is dense enough to slice.
Some years it's a very traditional dinner with turkey and all of the trimmings, other times it's more fusion based. But in my family it's not so much what we eat but rather the joy & warmth of shared times together.
I am not sure why they started with the leftovers. Maybe to prepare them for what is served? Thanksgiving is basically a harvest feast. Canada does theirs in October because they harvest sooner. Turkey is the basis because we were taught that is what the Pilgrims served at the first Thanksgiving. Traditionally the turkey is stuffed, but what it is stuffed with varies. Today the stuffing is generally done as a casserole and called dressing, since it is safer to cook it outside of the bird. Usually this is joined by mashed potatoes and a gravy that is poured over all three.
The sides vary by region of the country: what is traditional, what is available, etc.
Thanksgiving is the third Thursday in November.
Pigs in a blanket is totally different here, I feel like this is something we (USA) made but idk if that means something completely different in other areas
My late mother would do meringue for her sweet potato casserole. It actually tasted better with the meringue than the marshmallows. We never did pumpkin pie but we had sweet potato, apple, and pecan pie for dessert.
Sweet potatoes are not savory so you're really mixing sweet with sweet when you put marshmallows on it. But the way we prepare sweet potatoes in the south at least my part of the south in Tennessee is an art form we bake them or put them in the microwave and cook them until l soft. Then we mash them up, add some brown sugar and we add some cinnamon. Bake them and then we put the marshmallows on top and brown the marshmallows and it is delicious Don't knock it till you try it. Occasionally I make it a little different by adding some drained crushed pineapple which makes it even better. Why have boring playing food when you have all the spices in the world and all of the textures and all of the choices to experiment with.
A couple of channels I think would be cool to see you react to, dr duck whom is a friend of mine, meat eater, and federal premium black cloud, they are hunting channels and I am a big hunter so I would like to see some reaction videos of it from you folks across the pond. Keep up the great work dude.
It. Was funny watching the young man cutting the sweet potato pie. Pecan pie is not really super sweet. I don’t like something too sweet.
I have never known anyone to add an extra slice of bread in the middle of their sandwich. This is a new thing that came from an episode of Friends. When it comes to my sandwich I am straight turkey and stuffing with mayo.
If you like maple syrup you’ll love pecan pie. Put whipped cream on top.
We put candied pecans on top of our family sweet potatoes without any marshmallows.
They call it thanksgiving but no one ever seems to know who they’re thanking.
I've had a couple of thanksgivings with a group of football players and coaches, all had come to Canada over several decades to play in the CFL and had liked it here so much they never went home, all came from the Southern states - mostly from Alabama. The wives who put the meal together. (one whole pumpkin pie per person) could source everything they needed, in November, in Calgary. The one thing that they couldn't get there - and had shipped up, since it was considered a "vital" part of the meal, was Fiddlehead Greens.
Pumpkin pie doesn't really taste like pumpkin. It tastes like the spices that are added.
Little known fact - one of 4 British people are black
Marshmallow on sweet potato butter and brown sugar is great.
That doesn’t look like pumpkin pie at all. Looks like sweet potato pie.
It's more of an end of harvest gathering
Pecan pie and pumpkin pie are not hand pies. They are eaten on a plate with a fork.
North Carolina here and we tend to put pecans and brown sugar on top of our sweet potatoes casserole
I hate sweet potatoe casserole it is to sweet for me. Just are sweet just baked with butter.
I'm from California and as far as I know, having sweet potatoes with marshmallows are a typical Thanksgiving side dish in the U.S. I'm not a super fan of it, but I'll have a spoonful of it if it's not too sweet. I LOVE pumpkin pie though - preferably with fresh whipped cream. I'm making a turkey this year with homemade gravy, mashed potatoes, string bean casserole, Mexican sweet corn cake, which you scoop from a serving dish, it's not a "cake", candied cinnamon carrots, saueted brussell sprouts, stuffing with cranberries, cranberry & persimmon sauce & a spinach salad with goat cheese, candied pecans & pomegranate seeds. For dessert I'm making mini pumpkin pies and mini apple pies with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Brussel sprout are beginning to be a thing at Thanksgiving in the Pacific Northwest too.
Actually am not a big turkey fan I cook a turkey that weekend for the rest of the family. I serve seafood on Thanksgiving its easier to cook faster to cook and less mess !! Christmas is Prime rib , one turkey a year ! I don't do the Mac & Cheese crap . It's Butternut squash, whipped potatoes, real stuffing , real gravy , turnip and dinner rolls . With 5 pies . Plus The devil eggs, stuffed mushrooms. Celery with cream cheese, monkey bread ,bread pudding . Cheese puffs homemade. This is why we have it that weekend its a lot and I need my strength to shop on Friday 😂🤣
@user-mk7lw8tp6t SCAMMER
The candied yams are an abomination. I've had them once and I never will again. This is more of a southern dish, I think, and I'm from the upper midwest. Might be a cultural divide....
Everyone I know in California makes them for Thxgiving - I"m not crazy about them either.
We use canned yams, and don’t ask me what the difference is between yams and sweet potatoes.
I bake it (you’re just basically warming it, because canned yams are fully cooked), sprinkle with a ton of brown sugar and/or honey, topped with mini marshmallows.
This dish is heaven to me, but my Venezuelan wife (married 34 years), my adult sons, and the Venezuelan side of her finally don’t like it at all.
Could be wrong. But. Yams are a vine and don't grow underground. Sweet potatoes grow individually and grow like potatoes, underground. Both are just the same orange color. Oh and I've heard that the yams aren't grown or maybe just not as common to grow in the USA. (??)
Pecan pies 🥧
A whole day of football, delicious food and beer. The perfect holiday.
Don't forget rum and eggnog
Can you do a reaction to a reaction to a reaction to a reaction of these kids eating Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time? Because that'd be just fascinating.
C'mon man.... do reactions, that's why we subscribed. Doing reactions to other people's reactions of other content is just f'ing lazy.
I don’t know who “we” is. I’m fine with him reacting to this. The more he builds his channel the more opportunity and access he will have to try some of these things himself if that’s what he wants, but his reactions to this video are as welcome to me as any other.
We have Turkey, rolls, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, cornbread stuffing, roasted veggies, pumpkin pie and wine. Then Turkey sandwiches for leftovers late at night.
Christmas is either Calzone or Lasagna ❤ from Texas
