"American style sauce" does not exist in America
Sounds like tartar sauce 😂
That or we call it something else. I heard what we call 1000 island dressing is called American sauce in Germany. So this could be that.
Let’s face it. Ranch dressing is ‘American Sauce’ now.
This guy has never heard aboot tartar sauce.
Ranch dressing is American Sauce
I just watched a Portuguese man reacting to a Canadian man interpreting the falsehoods of what some countries call American culture.
I noticed the guy in the video pronounced the word "about" as "a-boot"... dead giveaway!!! Instantly knew he was canadian!!!
That and the "CANADA" and "Vancouver" on the wall behind him.
Exactly, there were no Americans involved in the making of this video about American foods.
It would've been obvious even without the signs.@@katehaynes5735
Canada is in North America, even if he's not a citizen of the U.S.
So basically the world thinks Americans eat nothing but hot dogs and French fries 😂
And mayonnaise, don't forget the mayonnaise. Though to be fair, mayonnaise is the default sauce places seem to use here. Maybe it seems that way to me as an avid mayonnaise hater.
What did you have for dinner on Easter?
We had dim sum, asparagus in red chili sauce with rice and Korean tofu with beef and green onions. USA
Well…. Lol
American hot dogs aren't packed in brine; they're usually in vacuum sealed plastic with maybe just a milliliter of water.
Yeah the jars and cans (!) of hotdogs are not remotely American. Vacuum sealed in plastic, or fresh from the butcher wrapped in butcher paper.
those same hotdogs in the jar was in a Joel and Lia video, I googled the brand name, they are actually from Germany.
It's brine inside the plastic too. Its not water.
Yes they are, the "water" is brine, we just don't use much of it.
@@Tijuanabillexactly
My Croatian ex was very surprised to learn that a LOT of what Europeans thought were ‘American Style’ foods turned out to be complete lies.
I'm American and was engaged to this beautiful Serbian woman and she taught me a lot about her country and what it's like. Diplomatically our countries are enemies, but the people of both nations can get along just fine, and in our case fall in love despite the US bombing Serbia in 1999. Which they still remember... And still bragging about shooting down one of our planes lol.
@@shyryTsr2k - It seems like you probably had a similar experience with your Serbian GF as I did with my Croatian GF. 😉
@@shyryTsr2k - One time, my ex told me that I was the most ‘European American’ that she had ever met. I took that as a compliment.
@@klubberzvonhatzenbuhl563 aw that's cool dude! What was it like for you dating a Croatian?
@@shyryTsr2k - Complicated and fun.
He sounds so exotic when he says "aboot". Those glamourous Canadians
Also killer mullet. Lol
I caught that as well. 😂 My first thought was, "I wonder if this guy is Canadian?" 😂 I'm glad I wasn't the only one. ❤
Don’t be fooled by him he’s JJMcCullough a total ass, yes he is Canadian, but he doesn’t speak like that in real life. He puts it on to annoy fellow Canadians and nearly everyone finds him obnoxious. No one here says “ aboot “ possibly there is a close version of it in Newfoundland as they have a very specialized dialect as they are largely descended from the Irish and Scottish who settled the land.. However it is true …..we say Sorry and eh! a lot…….lol
I figured "south canada" aka Minnesota Michigan Wisconsin area
@@Some_who_call_me_Tiim People from Newfoundland have a very distinct accent due to their Irish ancestors. But I’ve never heard an “ aboot “ from them either.
Andre,
Very few of these "American" dishes are actual dishes, more like drunk cooking, stuff you fix when you're hammered.
😂 No wonder we Americans have a world-wide "questionable" reputation!
Questionable excuse me I'm a military veteran without America the world would be under one dictator we are founded on Godly principles don't judge us by certain people
That's bull crap we have questionable people like our government and president that idiots voted for
@@Majorpain32677 Thank you for your service.
bro is delusional
I love the concept of a Canadian explaining to a Portuguese man what's American.
I've actually had the hot dogs in a jar. They were from Germany and I bought them in a food overstock store because I was curious. They reminded me as much of what we call Vienna Sausages (probably also nothing like a sausage in Vienna so turnabout is fair play) as of hot dogs. For any non-American unfamiliar, in the US hot dogs come in refrigerated plastic wrapping in supermarkets and are perishable. They aren't "shelf-stable", canned or frozen. And there are a lot of types now: Originally they were pretty much made of pork but then purveyors of kosher foods started making them of beef. When the low fat craze came along in the mid-20th century, poultry ones became available; and now it's getting harder and harder to find the original pork ones. But regardless, they aren't canned or jarred--always just refrigerated (you can freeze them at home if you want).
Tell me about it. When Ball Park first came out, I was thrilled because they were all pork. Since then, they have been bastardized with chicken and turkey filler and reduced in size from 16 to 15 ounces.
He’s a Russian man living in Portugal
aboot
What are you talking abooat?
I love the natural skin ones that come all hooked together like in the old cartoons. Those are getting almost impossible to find.
As an American, seeing hot dogs and fries on pizza actually makes me wanna throw up...
I can't believe the Italians would do this to us. They of all people should know how disgusting that is.
Keep in mind. None of these foods are American, the way they are being combined. We have all of these things, but it’s that pairings that are shocking.
You can find Amerikaners in New York City, but they are called black and white cookies.
I saw the "American" hot dogs in jars in another video. I googled it and it turns out that the 5 most popular brands all come from Britain and Germany. American hot dogs come in packs.
Tho to be fair they are still in brine, just much less (it's not just water)
lol the Red solo cups being such a big deal boggle my mind , here in America they are just one time use throw away cups kind of like paper napkins vs cloth , paper plates , plastic flatware .. all stuff we use when throwing a big gathering and you have way more people than actual dish's and it provides the extra benefit of fast clean up after just throw it all away.
yup they were specifically designed for big events like family get-togethers.
and i usually don't even get solo cups, but like off brands bc they're around the same price and i usually like their designs better (not a fan of the solo cup's look personally)
I still prefer the blue Solo cups when I can find them!
@@cathyvickers9063 I think finding out that blue and yellow Solo cups exist would floor a lot of non-Americans, because the red is so iconic in media.
The successor to paper cups.
@@cathyvickers9063 I'm pretty sure the reason the red ones became iconic in the first place is that they were always the ones on sale, because *no one* wanted the red ones! So all the broke students would always go for the cheap red ones. Now I guess people do want the red ones, but for many years, they were the unwanted color, always on sale for a low, low price!
Turkey is the common meat eaten at Thanksgiving. At Christmas we are more likely to have a ham, especially a spiral sliced ham. Chicken is not necessarily associated with any particular holiday, unless it might be the 4th of July (Independence day) and that is because of our high propensity to barbecue at that time.
For the longest time the traditional Xmas dinner was a whole roast bird and a ham. Its only been in the last maybe 2 decades that many people dropped the bird. If you watch any 90s xmas movie like home alone or the Santa Clause you can see as much. In the 90s there was actually a spike in xmas KFC but it is because newly no-fault divorced parents wanted to do something closer to the then traditional whole roast bird but that could be picked up in the drive through. KFC Japan took advantage of this to make it seem like a thing that wasn't just a side effect of changing laws.
@@ConstantChaos1 Home Alone family was super rich w a huge family, Santa Clause family was also rich - I grew up in the midwest suburbs thru the 80s and 90s, and we only had a second main protein when we visited the extended family in southern California.
@steffurness while finances of course play a part in what you had that doesn't change that going back further that was the way it was here. Your childhood happens to fall after no fault divorce, which lead to much more reasonable spreads at mxas
@@ConstantChaos1 ? I'm saying as someone w roots in both American midwest and Los Angeles suburbs, Hollywood portrayals are not realistic.
@steffurness yeah I'm aware that Hollywood portrayals are not always accurate, those were merely examples of a full traditional American xmas feast. I'm a military brat I've lived all over the nation and have family all over. I'm an American trained chef so I know my info is good, this is not a personal attack on you or something but a traditional Xmas feast is like they show in those movies, they're are used to juxtapose against the situations of an actual family at the time.
The historic traditi9nal xmas feast included a bird and a ham, examples of this can be seen in the movies home alone and the Santa clause, this traditional spread saw a decrease in popularity with the rise of no fault divorce. Women were no longer being forced to slave away in the home so it became something that was moved toward the more well to do who could afford a cook or whatever. That period, when it was more an upper class thing, is when you're recalling to and when those movies are set. Despite that many families across the economic spectrum still have both at their feasts. I'm not saying everyone does I'm just saying that some ppl do.
I literally had a class about the history of the American culinary tradition my guy.
The Amerikaners cookie is actually a thing mostly in NYC. It’s called a black and white cookie and it’s well known.
Yeah when he got to that I was like “hey we do have those but only on the east coast”
@@jessicaloveridge2759 black and white cookies have made it to the Midwest. I'm in Ohio and have bought them a few times, although the ones here appear to be the half-moon type of cookie.
The 100 year old family owned bakery in my home town in Upstate NY makes black and white cookies too. They are a nice nostalgic treat.
Those French sandwiches the "Pain Americain" actually does look like something you might find in America. My city, Pittsburgh, is known for putting fries on sandwiches and other things. I once saw a "Pittsburgh salad" on a menu in Ohio, which was a salad with fries and hard-boiled eggs on it, which is pretty accurate. The black and white cookies aren't the most popular cookie in America, probably the chocolate chip cookie is, but they certainly exist here, so that's also accurate. The rest of the food isn't, especially the hot dogs in jars or cans. Our hot dogs come in vacuum-sealed plastic packages with, I guess it's a brine, but it's not salty. The Polish pizza with creamed corn on it honestly sounds like the waiter was insulting the customer.
I love those black a d white cookies but the only place I've seen them are in bakeries in new york. So in my limited experience they're not super common. You have to seek them out.
I don't know it but you can clearly "hear" that he is not US American but Canadian. He constantly pronounces "about" as " a boot".
Might be Minnesotan. They say "aboot".
@@anonygentHe's definitely Canadian. I follow his channel.
@@LaShumbraBates K.
@@anonygent 👍🏾
That and he has a Candian flag behind him
I often find it interesting that foreigners and Americans talk about how much better European ice cream is than American. Citing Hagen das as an example.
When Hagen das is an American ice cream company started by Jewish Americans with polish heritage.
I think its aboot time Andre learned what a Canadian accent sounds like, 'ey? (great reaction!)
I was wondering if he would notice. Very strong accent eh
JJ is Canadian but nobody uses “ aboot “ up here JJ is a Canadian “asshole “ RUclipsr who puts on a phoney accent and irritate so many Canadians….we beg you come and get him!!. However, very truly we do say “ Sorry “ and “ eh! “ all the time.
I heard before that he does it on purpose but I doubt it.
@@shyryTsr2k You can believe it. He lives in Vancouver and friends and co workers confirm it. He has a RUclips channel and he does everything he can to annoy Canadians, including the mispronunciations. A lot of present and past Canadian news people have worked in American Broadcasting, including, Kevin Newman, Peter Jennings, Keith Morrison,, John Roberts,, Bob McKeown,, Robert MacNeil, Morley Safer,, Arthur Kent, John Blackstone, Ali Velshi are all Canadian newscasters just some of the many Canadians who work at ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN, PBS and other networks. If you have every heard anyone of these people utter. “ aboot “ I’ll eat my hat and my shoes. Over the years American networks have lured Canadian broadcasters, specifically for their “ non-accents “.
The idea that the U.S.A. would have a singular "American Style" sauce is pretty wild. I don't think anywhere on Earth has such a wide array of sauces of every type. What kind of sauce you put on your food is a genuine debate amongst Americans that can get very heated fast. Show up and say, "Ranch is trash, fuck BBQ sauce, who the hell eats this Buffalo garbage?" It might get physical.
i would totally be the one to show up and say that as a joke but i'm also 1. american and 2. a massive troll
Mmmmmm ketchup bbq sauce
That’s also really weird because fry sauce is supposedly ketchup and mayonnaise?????
@@scriptorpaulina Which is pretty much the same thing as the "secret sauce" of many hamburger joints.
Yeah, I only like mustard bbq sauce and eat my fries with either ranch or honey mustard…not a ketchup fan. I’ll eat fries plain rather than with ketchup. No ketchup on meatloaf…We lived in Germany for 5 years and now live in South Korea and we always get a ton of ketchup with our fries even though I specifically request, “no ketchup, please.”😂
KFC for Christmas. Nope! Hot dogs in brine in a jar. Nope! Creamed corn on pizza. Nope! American Style Sauce. Nope! Regarding the black and white cookies: absolutely YES. Especially in the New York and Boston areas.
‘American Salad’ reminds me of the old 50s Betty Crocker recipe for ‘Carrot Salad’. The ingredients are shredded carrots, raisins, mayonnaise, and cheese.
My Dutch grandmother used to make this salad every holiday - nobody had the guts to tell her it was horrible.
The genius behind selling a product is how well you can market that product.
I am Korean/American. I used to live in Korea and Japan and now live in Texas. I've never in my life ever seen hot dogs in a jar or can in America. I've never heard of the "American Style sauce" not even under a different name. Whatever that is, relish and mayonnaise? I think someone just made up and then claimed it's American. It's kind of like dumping kimchee on fries and then calling it "Korean style fries" when absolutely zero Koreans eat that. Zero Americans eat the things that are considered "American style". But it is true that Japanese eat fried chicken at Christmas. They are convinced that's what Americans eat. It may be because it's the closest thing they have to turkey???
What they are referencing is what we call "secret sauce" that is on Big Macs. It's just ketchup, mayo, and relish.
there is no ketchup in Big Mac sauce, the red coloring is paprika
Spaghetti Westerns such as the Clint Eastwood series For a Few Dollars More were filmed in Italy because it was cheaper, then shown in the US. Seems reasonable since most of John Wayne’s Western movies were filmed in Mexico.
No. Sorry but you have that history fantastically wrong. The "western" was invented in Italy. It was there first, and then came to here later. When Clint Eastwood did his first Italian Western, he was excited to be a part of the "real thing" that had already been copied in America.
@@TijuanabillProof please. Nowhere is that recorded. In fact it's an American creation from old Wild West Shows and a guy from NY are the two earliest elements.
@@Katholikos78 Sergio Leone invented the genre.
My brother was so disgusted by the concept of canned hotdogs when he visited Scotland 😂
New Englander here - we DO have those black and white cookies, they're delicious. And fluff is used in fluffernutters - a peanut butter and fluff sandwich. It's also used in baking or just chuck a spoonful in some hot chocolate. The rest of this stuff.......not so much. I have never seen 'american style sauce' before. I've also never seen hot dogs in a can or jar before.
The market shelf with American products and flags. Flags have 12 stars and 11 stripes. 😅
Brass knuckles=American fists lol-I like that one-the black and white cookies are an American thing but mostly found in the northeast as I haven’t really seen them down in the southern states
Those black and white cookies are popular in New York bakeries ❤
Black and white cookies are pretty common in the northeast. Just it a cookie iced on one side with chocolate frosting and the other side is vanilla frosting. German immigrants brought it to the states as an adaptation of a different cookie they make.
First of all, speaking as an American our country is so huge and diverse that calling any type of food "American" is a misnomer. Secondly, our hot dogs come in a vacuum sealed plastic package not a jar. We do sell a type of pickled sausage in a jar, but not a hot dog. The closest thing I can think of to that would be the "vienna" sausage. Tiny sausages in a can that taste similar to the hot dog. They come in regular and barbeque. I don't know anyone who eats fried chicken on Christmas! Most American families make a home cooked meal of Turkey/ham with potatoes white or sweet, cranberry sauce, stuffing, vegetables sides and rolls/biscuits. Where singles might purchase their holiday dinners from a fast food restaurant, when American families get together for the holidays such as (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter) we make an effort to serve a home-cooked meal in celebration and thankfulness for what GOD provides. We do like our sauces and almost every meal in restaurants are served with some kind of sauce. There is however no such thing as an "American Style" sauce. I'm not sure what the "relish/mayonnaise" thing is, but we do have a "thousand Island Dressing" that is pretty popular made of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup. Its quite good on salads and deep fried battered fish. It seems that America has been vastly misrepresented over the world.
If we Americans happen to have chicken for a major holiday, it's likely going to be a roasted chicken, unless it's a barbecue holiday, then it will be grilled.
several times i have had/made fried chicken for a 4th of july picnic. but that's about it for holidays.
Right. Like someone eating fast food during a major holiday is either offensive or just sad.
@@JohnLeePettimoreIII Yeah, that's about the only holiday where I would expect to see fried chicken. It's kind of considered a 'summer food.'
The truth about the RED SOLO CUP. Simple, Americans throw parties we call Keggers. The host/s, would buy the keg (barrel) of beer and several packs of red solo cups. In order to drink from the kegs. The partier needed a red solo cup. To get that red solo cup, the partier had to buy one from the host for $5. If you had the cup you can drink unlimited from the kegs until the party was over or the kegs were empty.
Ok, probably last comment lol. About the American Salad with Mayo. Historically, like back in the 50s, there was a wave of Mayo and Miracle Whip, which is kinda like Mayo but with vinegar and spices, being used in practically every type of salad you can think of! Miracle whip is extremely versatile as a salad dressing base. It can be made sweeter or more zingy depending on what you add to it.
I haven’t had a lot of the weirder salads from the 50s, but my bfs grandma made one, that I do believe came out of the 50s. It’s miracle whip with a bit of sugar added to make it a little sweeter, and a bit of milk to thin it out a bit, then pour that on top of lettuce and bananas, then mix. Not gonna lie, it’s a bit weird but doesn’t taste that bad. If anything, it’s kind of intriguing 😅
The 50s also had an obsession with JELLO (gelatin) and making very questionable food out of that! For example, Vienna sausages with green olives encased in gelatin. Or even Spaghetti-Os, which you may or may not have in Portugal, encased in gelatin. It’s put in a bunt cake mold, cooled to solidify and sliced like cake. 🤢 I also hate spaghetti-os.
If you’re curious, there’s a channel called Emmy Made, where she’s made these vintage recipes and tries them. The 50s was a wild time for food 😂
Dude is rockin' the *Joe Dirt* haircut💈....🤨🤔😏
Bobblehead 😊
He actually changes his hair/facial hair pretty frequently. His hair grows fairly fast, and he's had a myriad of different styles in the years I've been watching him. I get the impression he does it largely to entertain himself. :-)
It's pronounced Joe Dirtè
Fun fact: it was the Portuguese who introduced fried food to the Japanese, which is why the rest of the world now gets to enjoy tempura, tonkatsu, karaage, and so much more. So thanks for that, Expansionist Era Portugal :)
And we didn’t invent the hotdog the Germans did. It’s called a Frankfurt in German, same with the bratwurst and stuff like that it was just brought over and we kind of added our own flair to it.
As polarized as Americans are, I’m a mutt of the most savage ancestry. I love A1 on my steak at home, but in a fine restaurant I was with my Uncle and dad…they didn’t taste and just salted their gourmet expensive steak w/o tasting and I knew the offense. I was embarrassed, but it’s why I love my crazy family😂
We do put fries on every thing in Pittsburgh Pa. We put them on salads with steak, gyros can have fries, wraps have fries, pizzas can have them, everything can be topped with fries in Pennsyltucky.
Turkey or ham is what is usually eaten at Christmas along with local traditional sides that can differ from region to region.
the guy that made the video said "aboot".... imposter....
I noticed that too.
His accent is Canadian, and Canadians are ideally positioned to observe American culture.
It’s kind of his obsession.
@@SSgtBaloo I'm aware. It's just funny that I didn't notice until he said aboot
Classic Vancouver accent.
I use Fluff. It is a tradition in New England USA. You can make a Fluffernutter, which is peanut butter and Fluff on white bread. I prefer to toast and butter my bread. New Englanders also use Fluff in their hot cocoa. Yum!
That “Taste of America” shelf had Old Bay Seasoning on it. If you ever see it, get some! It’s amazing. I put that in so much of my cooking but it’s most fantastic on shrimp and other seafood. ❤
Old Bay is now owned and made by McCormick, the giant spice company which, at least, is also from Baltimore. But their marketing power is probably why the product got shelf space in Europe.
On pop corn, on french fries, on roasted corn on the cob, in vegetable soup, faux crab soup, on shrimp and grits, plain grits, baked potatoes etc
Old Bay was formulated In 1939 by a German-Jewish immigrant named Gustav Brunn started the Baltimore Spice Company. eventually bought by McCormick. I live 4 miles away from their plant. I love waking up to smell what they are preparing and packing every day.
The black and white cookies always remind me of "Seinfeld". 🙂
I assure you, the idea of hotdogs in a jar or can is absolutely baffling to most Americans. I'm in my late 30s and only recently learned, from a different youtuber, that hotdogs can be packaged this way at all!
Hotdogs are very American but they are sold in plastic packaging never in jars or cans with brine. We do have a type of mini hotdog in a can which, ironically, are called Vienna sausages. 😅
Fluff is made here in Massachusetts. It is delicious with peanut butter on white bread.
Was anybody else surprised when that japanese guy said "of course I knew Americans have Turkey at Christmas, not fried chicken..."? I've never had Turkey at Christmas, only ham or prime rib. We just had thanksgiving! I dont want more turkey!!
Increasing numbers of Americans agree with you but turkey used to be by far the most popular Christmas entre' and probably still is. American cooking has simply evolved since the 1960s and this is one tiny way.
As an American, I find all of this adorable. It's rather endearing, and amusingly tongue-in-cheek, to see other nations create representations of what they think "America" is all about, by virtue of food. I love it. Now, contrast my feelings (and, if I may be presumptuous, probably the feelings of most of my fellow countrymen/-women) about exoticized edible Americana with those crazed, absolutely bonkers videos we have all seen of Europeans losin' their sh*t over such products available in the enormous American marketplace as canned ravioli or U.S.-style baguettes or "Swiss" almond or "French"" vanilla flavoring. Yep, I could go on, but you know the drill. It's ridiculous. "My Italian husband was just FURIOUS upon his first visit to The Olive Garden restaurant....." Really? Whoa. Tell your hubby to pace himself - and get a hobby. There are many "international" foods/cuisines that have swept the globe but are simply Americanized versions of what folks think are authentic. Pizza has always been a simple flatbread-&-sauce-eaten-with-a-fork-&-knife affair in Italy. What the world knows today as the king-sized pie loaded with toppings and melty mounds of ooey-gooey cheese (delivered in 30 minutes or less....) is an (Italian-)American iteration. The same can be written about Mexican-style food (tacos, burritos, Arizona-birthed chimichangas and, of course, the ubiquitous chips-&-salsa) and Chinese food with its beef-&-broccoli/General Tso's (Who-?) chicken combo plates with fried rice, wonton soup and eggroll plus the fortune cookie finish (all foods invented in New York City), and countless other gastronomic guideposts. The great American sausage factory, the marvelous American marketing machine . . . Give it a few years, and they'll be eating and ordering takeout American versions of Vietnamese "bot" dumplings and Turkish "pide" flatbread in Katmandu and Timbuktu . . . only with a lot more fillings and toppings. Go, global America. I love it all, on both ends.
Funny video. I grew up in New York City, and we were ^very^ particular about hot dogs. They had to be boiled, then deep-fried in oil for about 5 seconds to give them a very distinctive "snap." They were served on a hot dog bun. The only condiment used was mustard. I know other parts of the country have different hot dog traditions, but they all tend to be rather simple.
yeah most other places' traditions are with the toppings. in wv the main traditions are plain or throwing everything on it (hillbilly hotdogs is famous for this, even scoring a food network endorsement).
Yeah there are some places that have artisanal hotdogs with crazy toppings but overall those are the minority hot dogs.
That guys sounds Canadian, which technically is “American” but not United States American. For the record my family have turkey on Thanksgiving and Beef Roast or Enchiladas on Christmas (my husband makes fantastic enchiladas… it’s not a typical American Christmas food… but homemade enchiladas are closer than KFC for Christmas…which is really not seen at all! ). Most of these “American foods” are so not American! But we do use a lot of sauces just not in the way portrayed here. Westerns were a thing before spaghetti western. It got expensive to film here so companies made westerns in Italy as it was less expensive, but the classic western, with the tropes, predated the spaghetti western.
Yes, Texas often has tamales for Christmas. When I lived in Arlington years ago, I ordered tamales for Christmas from a local tamale shop. I had to order them a couple of weeks in advance.
They may be right? Columbia Hotdog, (17:26) The Polish Boy is a sausage sandwich native to Cleveland, Ohio. It consists of a link of kielbasa sausage placed in a bun, and covered with a layer of french fries, a layer of barbecue sauce and a layer of coleslaw.[1] While the sausage is typically grilled, some establishments will quickly deep fry the sausage after grilling and prior to assembling the sandwich.
Americans eat Vienna Sausages. Their sausages in a small can with broth. We also have big jars of Pickled Bologna that come in a solution of vinegar and look like jumbo sized hotdogs or a coiled up never ending jumbo hotdog! My parents were born during the depression. They cooked hotdogs everyway. ( boiled, fried, grilled, on a stick, etc.) My dad even would cut up hotdogs into his pancake batter to fry and top with syrup. It was great!
I have to imagine that the deal with the Red Solo cup is because of the Country and western song by Toby Keith. RSCs are used for parties and just about any other casual social occasion where formal glassware is not practical or necessary. The 4th of July is typically when the RSC show up the most because red is a celebratory color and picnics/outdoor dining are typical. Its really no more meaningful than that.
Hot dogs do not come in a jar or a can here in America. They are sold refrigerated normally in the same area as sausages and sandwich meats. There are picked sausages that come in jars, but they are not something most people would eat. There are also canned mini sausages called Vienna sausages but they are also something most people do not eat, and they taste nothing like hot dogs. You can find something called Fry sauce in some stores, which half ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together. But that is something you can just make a home.
The cookies with black and white frosting are very common in NYC. They are called, "black and white cookies." They are like white cake-like cookies with chocolate and vanilla frosting.
11:32 Surely the Toby Keith song "Red Solo Cup" influenced the red cups popularity abroad. RIP Toby.

No this was way before because of movies. They actually were buyin red solo cups as a gift to family and friends.
The frite sauce in the yellow bottle is actually dutch. You can buy it in canadian dutch stores. Its imported from the netherlands.
I thought I saw every possible pizza topping in America, but never hotdogs
Red Solo cups became popular in US because they were/are inexpensive, come in large quantity and are big enough to hold a decent size drink. So it became the go to drink cup for BBQ, party or gathering were beverages are being served
Red, and blue, Solo cups are designed for drinking as they are graduated for each type of drink.
The lowest graduation is for shots, the second is for wine and the third is for beer.
Now you know
Clint Eastwood couldn't get hired in Hollywood after the tv show Rawhide went off the air. Finally he got the spaghetti westerns offer. After they became so popular, he came back and made Dirty Harry movies. They made so much money that he could make all kinds of movies and then started making his own movies.
Also became the mayor of Carmel, California , one of the most beautiful places in the world with incredible fairy tale cottage houses.
why put the hot dogs in water 🤮
even worse, *_brine_*
It’s a British and German thing
1:02 Those are all products sold in the US, but generally are considered 1 a treat for a child on rare occasions 2 food that eaten as a guilty pleasure by those who like them. (Often from eating it as a child) 3 brands that are older then time but you never use and have no clue how the company stays in business. (now that I think about that someone might need to look into that it might be a racketeering or money laundering going on there hahaha
Im not gonna lie, that Oreo cereal SLAPS!! 🤤😂
so does the Reeses Puff cereal!
There are "black and white" cookies sold in the US in many bakeries especially on the East coast.
My family eats both turkey and ham with all of the fixings on Christmas Day.
I will say that you will find Marshmellow fluff in the baking aisle. It is used for things like fruit salad or in deserts as an ingredient, but no one eats it out of the jar.
Fry sauce is about the only American sauce I can think of, sometimes called Special Sauce. Mayonnaise is the base but it’s mixed with ketchup and can have several other things included. I add spicy brown mustard, hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika to mine. Some people add pickle relish. It’s mostly found in the western US but is spreading. Mayo is also not often used on its own but is an ingredient in many sauces.
11:10 the Dutch raw meat spread probably started out as what Americans know of as "Steak Taretar" if they are aware of it at all.
The oldest reference to that dish that I know of was from Escófier, who called it American Steak. Nobody seems to know how he came up with that name.
This may actually be an Escófier original.
Steak Taretar is finely chopped steak (not ground beef) mixed with various seasonings, molded into a patty and topped with a raw egg.
I've been an American for 44 years and I've never had fried chicken for Christmas 😂
I'm right behind you, almost 43 and never had KFC for Christmas. Never seen Hotdogs in anything but the plastic bag.
Rice on the outside of sushi was created by a Japanese immigrant who opened a restaurant in the US (LA) and wanted to americanize his food as to be more alluring and that's even how the California roll was created
In reality, the Marshmallow Fluff is a huge thing in New England. It’s our little secret. 😂
Love the channel, from Connecticut!
Summer is coming. If you want a traditional American summer meal… fire up the grill. Grill out some hamburgers and hot dogs. Serve with potato salad (or pasta salad), chips, coleslaw. And finish with ice cream
Marshmallow Fluff is excellent on a peanut butter sandwich. But is too sweet everyday. It’s a great treat.
Fortune cookies are a real example of American food. In the early 1900’s, a Japanese commercial baker got the idea of folding a traditional sesame cookie around a “fortune”, and sold them to his mostly Chinese restaurant customers. One could still get the unfolded cookies in Japantown in San Jose, CA.
The beef and french fry sandwich looks like a take on a pittsburgh steak salad, which has french fries and steak on top.
That guy JJ’s accent sounds Canadian, or maybe he lives on the US-Canada border. But it was a strangely interesting video.
dude iirc lives near it, and he also is a massive culture nerd too.
culture nerds just know these things lol
16:38 America's closest equivalent to Europe's canned/jarred hot dogs would have to be our canned Vienna sausages. They are sold pre-cut instead of links as they traditionally would be, and they are served either in broth or brine, depending on the brand. Armor is the most common brand, they're ok on their own, but they taste far better smoked or in sauce. Libby's taste better plain than Armor, but not every store sells them.
But you've got to admit, "My Name Is Trinity" and "Trinity Is Still My Name" which are classic spaghetti westerns are fun to watch.
When my English friend visited me about 15 years ago he had just turned 21 he had many " firsts" including chili dog, drive in movie and restaurant. He was really truly amazed at how good the hotdogs are here, i dont mean the toppings but the quality of the meat itself he said it was like having a entirely different experience. And it was like that with alot of the food.
Usually, Americans will have turkey on Thanksgiving, then ham on Christmas. And I absolutely do enjoy Oreo cereal. It's not the most popular, but I sure enjoy it
The thing that I always find so strange about specifically the pop tarts you guys get overseas is that it’s always the weird limited edition flavors. If you ask most Americans what flavor of pop tarts are their favorite, most people would say things like strawberry, blueberry, or cinnamon brown sugar. Maybe wild berry if they’re getting out there. Also, you guys get all the weird cereals. I’m pretty sure Cheerios are the best selling cereal in the US. Which are just little crunchy rings made of mainly oat flour. They’re not particularly sweet at all.
Back in the early 1950s, when make at home pizza kits were first becoming common, we sliced hot dogs for the meat. That was what we could afford at the time.
11:10 I've seen a couple of things that I want to get pedantic about.
The "pain Americán" is probably based on a local Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania restaurant called Primanti's. They serve sandwiches with meat (traditionally hamburger) French fries and coleslaw all together in the bun.
10:38 You can find Amerikaners in New York, but they are called black and white cookies. Seinfeld did an episode with them.
Fluffernutters are a fond childhood memory. Fluff (It has to be the real stuff, the rest just doesn't taste right) and peanut butter on white bread. I prefer mine on light toast with chunky peanut butter.
My dad loved watching Spaghetti Westerns when I was a kid in the 70's. That's actually were Clint Eastwood got his start in film.
A lot of Americans like Fluffernutter sandwiches, which is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff.
Hmm. Not in my neck of the woods. I totally believe you, because the US is a big place. In what part of the US have you noticed that kind of sandwich?
@@jgw5491 Fluffernutters are the state sandwich of Massachusetts, where Fluff originated. But I was surprised to find that some friends in far-flung states have had them, so I guess they've spread to some other places.
Yum
Thanks, folks!
@@jgw5491 I’ve heard it several times, two that stand out are once on “ Everyone loves Raymond” he mentioned eating them, so that was New York. A RUclipsr mentioned their popularity ( Ryan Was) from Michigan, my own son who first lived in Texas ( but never mentioned them ) but they moved to North Carolina and he had them there. I can’t remember other specific states but have seen them mentioned a couple of more times on videos.
Hot dogs in jars/cans of brine. Uh, no way! I have seen pickled sausages in the South, but other than that, never. In the UK, I have tried these strange "American" hot dogs from the jar. Most Americans would throw them into the trash after one bite, if they would even take a bite after looking at the nasty shriveled things. Major gross.
The red party cups and Beer Pong are an American college student invention. An excuse to get drunk. (and after I just googled its origins, it indeed was invented in the 1950's at Dartmouth College by students no doubt). That is crazy how I could figure that out. Beer... sports, college students. What better fit!
Yes, we have food aisles in our local supermarket. One year one of the local supermarkets had a British snacks, and foods section. It probably depends on what foreign students are here in large enough numbers. We also have a large Hispanic food section in many supermarkets, as well as Mediterranean foods. An Italian section doesn't exist because Italian food has become so assimilated into our culture, it is second nature.
Oddly enough, French food isn't well represented in supermarkets here where I live. But it is popular in restaurants, ... elsewhere in the U.S. Probably because The French didn't settle this area of the U.S. in large numbers. Definitely Maine, Southern U.S. , Louisiana, other areas.
I spent a year in Japan quite a while ago. Customs may have changed, but when I was there Christmas was appropriated as a gift-giving/shopping season (with no religious message). The department stores were wonderful with HUGE decorated Christmas trees. We're talking 30 feet tall or more. And Christmas Eve was a big date night (for the younger crowd) all over Tokyo. I didn't notice the fried chicken though.
Oh, and yes, as an addendum... Japanese did NOT eat sushi with rice on the outside of the roll. Ugh.
We may not eat fried chicken on Christmas but what we increasingly do is eat Chinese food for the evening meal on Christmas Day. The thing is that after a huge holiday meal in early afternoon on Christmas Day, people get hungry again around 8 PM. Nobody's going to cook another meal and you can eat leftover turkey, but people often want to get out of the house . . . except nothing's open EXCEPT Chinese restaurants because the owners aren't Christian. So in big cities anyway, a lot of people have started going out for Chinese Christmas night. And in San Francisco, at least, some of the bigger Chinese restaurants have started taking advantage of the opportunity by supplying live entertainment, often stand-up comedy.
'I know you don't eat fried chicken at Christmas" *laughs in Kentucky* sometimes...
Also how he described “American Sauce,” (Mayo and Relish) we do have a product like that. It’s called Tartar Sauce.
Also I love this video! I never thought about what other countries would think is “American” food. Idk why this question never crossed my mind because I think of things like this all the time.
They eat sushi with rice, it's just not on the outside. It will have either fish draped over it or seaweed wrapped around it.
I knew a guy who ate quail eggs for breakfast with turkey bacon, so yes, some people do eat quail eggs and I like to eat duck eggs and chicken
I find it hilarious that a Canadian is telling Europeans about American culture. While the U.S. and Canada share a continent, the differences in culture are significant. (How we pronounce 'about' or 'pasta' for instance.)
It doesn't seem you've been watching your prescribed amount of J.J. lately, because otherwise you would know that they absolutely are not.
We do eat hot dogs. I think it tends to be a summer thing. Or eaten at cookouts. We don't have them in stores in a brine and they aren't sold in cans or jars. They come in a plastic pack, usually 8 to a pack. 😀 I love your videos.
