Americans are not the only ones whose "traditional foods" became "traditional" through the efforts of marketing agencies. In Britian, the "ploughman's lunch" - bread, cheese, onions, pickles to start- became a popular pub lunch in the 1950s due to efforts of the Cheese Bureau to increase the consumption of cheese.

Oh, man. I remember mom "making" orange juice from concentrate back in the 70s (12:07). It was a thrill to get a teaspoon of the icy concentrate for a small treat! Loved it!!! ☺
Ok did I miss something. You just had a whole video saying that bacon and eggs weren't traditional, bit then explain the reason it is was because the dwindling of bacon and eggs as the traditional American breakfast. So it is in fact a older and very traditional breakfast then isn't?
I read an article recently where a nutritionist explained how a slice of pizza is technically a "healthier" breakfast than the average breakfast cereal. So if Wheaties are the breakfast of Olympians, then pizza really is the breakfast of champions.
So what you're saying is that a greedy person used a woman's issue to make them buy their product (talking about the cigarettes). But it does sound familiar when looking at companies being "virtuous"
It still goes on to this day, many companies will gladly fly rainbows and outwardly express support for LGBTQ+ and say "no" to racism people and then within the company internally, actively discriminate against these groups. They are just a market for these corporations, they don't actually care about you or what's right, many will say whatever they must to appease the press, but then knowingly use child labour to make their products.
Fun Fact: It was not until the 15th century that "Breakfast" came into use in written English to describe a morning meal, which literally meant to break the fasting period of the prior night. Yes, I copied that.
My grandkids find it difficult to remember what the name of any particular meal is. I keep calling it break the fast. Eventually, I suppose they’ll get it.
I've been observing 16-hour intermittent fasting, so... I could call the noon meal "breakfast", since I skip the morning one. But considering the other names of meals, it seems a lot of names are arbitrary- "dinner" might be in the middle of the day, or it might be in the evening.
The beginning of the video, you state that the agricultural community ate hearty breakfasts that included bacon and eggs. So, the pr campaign was not the beginning.
The Anglo-saxons were the beginning: serving large, hearty meals to those who visited them in the spirit of hospitality. This became the Full English, which has been with America since before independence.
Yeah, what I want to know is why certain foods are considered "breakfast foods" and it's weird to eat, like, a sub sandwich or fried chicken for breakfast.
@@stevethepocket I would guess it is because these traditional foods predate refrigeration. When you wake up and prepare your morning meal, you reach for the easiest things to make that wouldn't spoil overnight. Cured meats, cheese, eggs, grains, etc. Fresh killed meat would come later in the day.
As I understand it that was a traditional rural breakfast as that’s what people had lying around on the farm. When people urbanized they drifted away from that tradition, and the sales dropped accordingly. So they threw a huge ad campaign to “remind America of its roots.”
The PR campaign was the beginning of the tradition. Before the PR campaign it was not a tradition it was just a convenience for some people working in rural settings who would start work at 6am, skip lunch, stop work when the sun goes down, and maybe have a small dinner before bed. It wasn't a tradition it was just the habit of eating adapted to that work schedule for some people.
Exactly Bacon is one of the greatest meats ever. In fact a breakfast I love is Bacon, Fried Eggs, Hashbrowns and the Eggs and Hashbrowns cooked in the Bacon grease. It is fantastic.

He's talking bullshit about orange juice though; I wanted to smack the man for spreading lies. A glass of orange juice is NOT like a can of coke... he's likely thinking of the Great Value shitty orange juice, pulp free and from concentrate. The GOOD orange juice you find in the refrigerated section has less sugar and still contains the natural vitamins found in oranges like vitamin C. It also contains the natural fibers of the orange if you get some pulp or lots of pulp. Secondly, part of the reason coke is so bad is that the sugar comes from HFCS, the worst possible sugar for your body. Natural fruit sugars should be consumed in moderation, but they're not nearly as bad as HFCS.
No it’s not you’re just a left wing Marxist who hates capitalism. Or doesn’t like capitalism or criticizes it or thinks it incentivizes more bad behavior than good. You probably Have no idea about nutrition and what is a healthy vs unhealthy food or what even cause fat gain.
LOL it's half. 50:50. 1. EVERY FOODS ARE HEALTHY. It's unhealthy depends on your diet, your lifestyle, and etc. For example, the juicy multilayered burger is rich in nutrients so it's healthy especially for ppl that need some weight mass. And if you eat too much beans, it's bad. As we know.. we can fart a lot. That means something happen to our digestive system. 2. There are some food propaganda like vitaminC propaganda, milk propaganda, etc. We actually dont need these stuffs. For example, milk. OUR ANCESTORS, MAJORITY OF THEM, DONT CONSUME MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS. ONLY EUROPEANS & MIDDLE EASTERN PPL(including subcontinent Indians) THAT CONSUME DAIRY. Look at Africans there. They're stronger n taller than Europeans that they being used as slaves even since long time ago. And it's not because of MILK and other Dairy products. We can get vitaminD, iron, and calcium from other sources. Spinach, tomato, meat, etc.
@@nahor88 Nearly all refrigerated orange juice comes from concentrate--even those claiming otherwise--because local oranges are cheap but only ripe very briefly, while imported oranges are relatively expensive. (Grocery stores eat much of that cost by spreading the loss across the entire year.) The main difference between those that claim to be fresher is that some are mostly flavored by the peel and orange oils, since the juices lose flavor in such long-term storage.
@@haveyougotyourtowel Wrong; they store they non-concentrated juice in vats so they can sell the juice even in the offseason. You're not wrong about the necessity for flavor packs, but it's still nothing like drinking coke.
My maternal grandmother's standard breakfast consisted of the following: eggs fried or scrambled; oatmeal with cream; bacon; sausage; fresh home made buttered biscuits; coffee. Served between 6:30 and 7:00 every morning.
I can’t imagine living in the days when everyone smoked, everywhere, all the time. I’m old enough to remember smoking sections in restaurants, we always sat far away, lol. I guess you just became “nose blind” to the smell, like how you do with perfume, you can barely smell it after awhile, meanwhile others think you bathed in it.

The Betty Crocker story is an urban legend. Yes, cake mix sales were bad at first, and yes, there was market research that said that women were reluctant to use convenience foods such as cake mixes, because they thought it made them neglectful housewives. And yes, cake mix sales did go up once they were reformulated to add eggs. But the real reason cake mixes were changed to add eggs was because of taste. Early, just-add-water cake mixes had powdered eggs in them and they just didn't taste all that good as a result. Once they started reformulating cake mixes to add fresh eggs, the resulting cakes tasted a whole lot better, and that led to increased cake mix sales. This is a rather complicated case of correlation not equaling causation. Also Occam's razor.

The larger theme of what different cultures eat for breakfast, or whatever their first meal is called, whether it's a large or small meal, hot or cold, and whether it is or includes foods specifically assigned to that meal, is one of the more interesting questions in food culture.
Yes, nicotine is bad for you. Cholesterol comes from fat and the fact is, the cholesterol hypothesis has been completely debunked. Read "The Great Cholesterol Myth" by Bowden and Sinatra.
This was one of the big culture shocks to my wife who is from Thailand. She couldn't figure out why we had specific "breakfast" foods. When I asked her what they generally ate for breakfast in Thailand, she was like: "food".
That would be so boring to an European to live like that. A dreary boring life. No wonder she married you. Still it's 'white mans burden' to civilise these people.
@@Simonsvids Not sure I get whether you are being sarcastic or funny or observational. It was a revelation to ME to realize that not every culture had a designation between types of food to go along with different meal times, since that was all I had ever known. I had always assumed each culture had "breakfast foods" and "lunch foods", etc. I had a similar WTF moment when I learned that peanut butter was an almost exclusively US thing. I had assumed it was a common food amongst most of the western world until my Eastern European coworker expressed how much she disliked it, and she explained they didn't grow up with it, and that even if they WANTED to find it in her country (which they rarely did) they would generally have go to a specialty store to find it. Just stuff I took for granted.
I have been keeping myself busy enough in the mornings that I often don't get around to eating anything until around noon. Then, my breakfast may be a calzone cooked in the oven, a banana, some sort of pot pie over a slice of bread, or an English muffin with PB and J. At that point in my day, my final cup of coffee may also be somewhat spiked with a shot of whiskey and / or rum. This is all taken out on the porch and followed up with a bowl of homegrown happy weed...
During my work week, don't have breakfast or lunch, other than a glass of milk, tea or a Coke. I have no problem having a coke before work while everyone has their coffee with so much sugar and cream,it makes my Coke look healthy 😂 If I eat I'm done for the day and very unproductive. On weekends I eat what I want when I want. Everyone's body is different,and reacts different to meals.
If I'm working in an office, coffee for breakfast works for me and sometimes I miss lunch also. If I'm outside doing physical work I will be staggering around like I've lost a few pints of blood by 1PM if I don't have a big breakfast or lunch.
I appreciate that Bernays actually put in real work to undo the harm he caused. I would hope he wouldn’t have promoted smoking had the evidence of its harm been clear at the time, but who knows.
By the standards of many traditional cultures, the American tendency to pigeonhole certain foods to certain times of the day is exceptional. Other cultures do it, but rhe US reasons are almost universally ad-based.
Think about instant ramen, some aren't in premade bowls or cups because of the fact that you feel like you're cooking it by putting it in a pot or in one yourself and adding hot water and the packet. there's no reason they can't all be like cup of noodles where its all premixed and in a styrofoam cup. it's just so you feel like you cooked it.

If enough people begin consistently pronouncing something differently, then it will eventually become the "correct" form. That's how languages change over time. I'm guessing you don't say "antique" as though it rhymes with "frantic", or "ration" like "nation". Yet, these were both considered the correct ways of pronouncing these words not so long ago.
Living in the US, I’ve needed to research traditional diets to properly plan my food intake for health. For my breakfast I’ve learned to enjoy sugar free oatmeal with herbs, nuts, and berries as well as a vegan stew made with cabbage, leeks, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, carrots, beets, and sauerkraut with pepper. For lunches I have 3 servings of fruit. Occasionally for dinner I’ll just have a can of beans with more oats if I’m tired from work. It’s amazing how much better I feel eating that way. The Western diet is literally killing people more than any other cause.

Great video, but a fact check for you guys: That bit about Bernays and instant cake mix is a classic marketing myth with no truth behind it. It was Ernest Dichter, not Bernays, who did that research for General Mills, and it was after sales flattened in the late 50s. The falling sales were more likely to do with the fact that fresh eggs made better cakes. Snopes has a great article on this.

Later on, a restaurant chain took this and ran with it and redefined the word "breakfast" right before our eyes. Suddenly "breakfast" wasn't the first meal of the day any more, it was that specific set of foods. And they did it with one simple commercial campaign with the slogan "I like breakfast, and I like at 6 o'clock in the evening." A perfect example of linguistic change happening right before our eyes.
Being from Oklahoma, toast isn't a standard ingredient with breakfast. Biscuits and gravy goes with our traditional breakfast. It is a weekend tradition in our house. We, also, add some type of potato, whether tator tots or hash browns.
If you get actual fresh-squeezed orange juice with a little bit of the pulp in it, it actually is healthy. But nearly all of the orange juice sold in supermarkets today are industrially processed, with tons of oranges juiced and squeezed into large vats which have the juice pasteurized and vacuum sealed, which is why the flavor is essentially burned out. To repackage it into half gallon sized bottles and cartons, they throw in flavor packets filled with orange essential oils and sugar or high fructose corn syrup which is mixed into the juice. What is sold to us as orange juice is no different than soda pop except it isn't carbonated.
It's 7:13am here and I just fired up the oven to cook up a sheet pan of bacon. Thanks for giving me the motivation. Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich in a little bit.

Okay, so I get that most of these traditional American breakfast foods are considered breakfast foods due to marketing. But here’s what I don’t get, and it’s not unique to American cuisine either: Why breakfast? Why do all of these marketing campaigns, whether it’s bacon and eggs, cereal, orange juice, or whatever, focus on breakfast? These foods could have just as easily been marketed as lunch or dinner foods? And here’s the thing. This is true in almost every country. The USA has bacon and eggs. The UK has the full English breakfast. Mexico has huevos rancheros. France had omelettes. But hardly any of these countries have foods specifically marketed as “lunch foods” or “dinner foods.”
Before even watching the video I just want to say. I eat whatever I want at any time of day. If I wake up and want a sandwich, burger, or waffles, thats what I have. The only criteria for breakfast is that it's eaten when you wake up. Even if you wake up at 8pm because you work night shift. Having a type of food you're subjected to eat during certain periods of time throughout the day is a ridiculous concept that I'm sure will be mentioned in this video.
Did the 70% of bacon for breakfast study include the south because we use it for for everything from grilling with peppers to cooking beans and cabbage.
I never have. I hate eggs in any other form but hard boiled, and the smell of cooking bacon makes me sick. The idea of biting into meat fat makes my stomach churn! No thanks!
Townsends once prepared an 18th-century American breakfast consisting of homemade whole-grain bread toast, with a fried egg and a few slices of bacon on top of the toast. (Of course, during this time period, people still needed a hearty breakfast to fuel them for the day.) To me, breakfast *MUST* include bacon, and some kind of starch (anything from plain toast to muffins, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, French toast, popovers, cornbread, or other such homely fare. Add an egg and some OJ (or a banana) and you had an approximation of a balanced meal.

Rather than starting a pro-literary campaign, as had been tried and failed in the past, he approached schools for architectures and instilled into their minds that _"No Modern Home Should Be Without Bookshelves and/or Book Cases."_ Soon nearly every home being built had shelves being built into living rooms and dens across the country.

My mom did this as well....in the late 90s-early 2000s
Ok did I miss something. You just had a whole video saying that bacon and eggs weren't traditional, bit then explain the reason it is was because the dwindling of bacon and eggs as the traditional American breakfast.
So it is in fact a older and very traditional breakfast then isn't?
@@weplaywax Coka Cola of course.
No, that’s exactly what you saw. It’s scary how many people missed the circular reasoning.

Leftover cold pizza and warm beer. Breakfast of champions!

Folger's crystals and milk. Breakfast of ex-champions.
I read an article recently where a nutritionist explained how a slice of pizza is technically a "healthier" breakfast than the average breakfast cereal. So if Wheaties are the breakfast of Olympians, then pizza really is the breakfast of champions.

So what you're saying is that a greedy person used a woman's issue to make them buy their product (talking about the cigarettes). But it does sound familiar when looking at companies being "virtuous"
It still goes on to this day, many companies will gladly fly rainbows and outwardly express support for LGBTQ+ and say "no" to racism people and then within the company internally, actively discriminate against these groups.
They are just a market for these corporations, they don't actually care about you or what's right, many will say whatever they must to appease the press, but then knowingly use child labour to make their products.
Fun Fact: It was not until the 15th century that "Breakfast" came into use in written English to describe a morning meal, which literally meant to break the fasting period of the prior night. Yes, I copied that.
Do you know Sp0ns0rBlock?
My grandkids find it difficult to remember what the name of any particular meal is. I keep calling it break the fast. Eventually, I suppose they’ll get it.
Well I am happy someone thought of breakfast...and I am indebted to those who thought of bacon and eggs as well!
I've been observing 16-hour intermittent fasting, so... I could call the noon meal "breakfast", since I skip the morning one. But considering the other names of meals, it seems a lot of names are arbitrary- "dinner" might be in the middle of the day, or it might be in the evening.
@@elaineburnett5230 I'm a vegan, and I say no need to break eggs to break fast.
The beginning of the video, you state that the agricultural community ate hearty breakfasts that included bacon and eggs. So, the pr campaign was not the beginning.
The Anglo-saxons were the beginning: serving large, hearty meals to those who visited them in the spirit of hospitality. This became the Full English, which has been with America since before independence.
Yeah, what I want to know is why certain foods are considered "breakfast foods" and it's weird to eat, like, a sub sandwich or fried chicken for breakfast.
@@stevethepocket I would guess it is because these traditional foods predate refrigeration. When you wake up and prepare your morning meal, you reach for the easiest things to make that wouldn't spoil overnight. Cured meats, cheese, eggs, grains, etc. Fresh killed meat would come later in the day.
As I understand it that was a traditional rural breakfast as that’s what people had lying around on the farm. When people urbanized they drifted away from that tradition, and the sales dropped accordingly. So they threw a huge ad campaign to “remind America of its roots.”
The PR campaign was the beginning of the tradition. Before the PR campaign it was not a tradition it was just a convenience for some people working in rural settings who would start work at 6am, skip lunch, stop work when the sun goes down, and maybe have a small dinner before bed. It wasn't a tradition it was just the habit of eating adapted to that work schedule for some people.

Almost everything that's considered healthy about food/meals is wrong and it's almost all due to marketing and companies making money.
He's talking bullshit about orange juice though; I wanted to smack the man for spreading lies. A glass of orange juice is NOT like a can of coke... he's likely thinking of the Great Value shitty orange juice, pulp free and from concentrate. The GOOD orange juice you find in the refrigerated section has less sugar and still contains the natural vitamins found in oranges like vitamin C. It also contains the natural fibers of the orange if you get some pulp or lots of pulp. Secondly, part of the reason coke is so bad is that the sugar comes from HFCS, the worst possible sugar for your body. Natural fruit sugars should be consumed in moderation, but they're not nearly as bad as HFCS.
No it’s not you’re just a left wing Marxist who hates capitalism. Or doesn’t like capitalism or criticizes it or thinks it incentivizes more bad behavior than good. You probably Have no idea about nutrition and what is a healthy vs unhealthy food or what even cause fat gain.

1. EVERY FOODS ARE HEALTHY. It's unhealthy depends on your diet, your lifestyle, and etc. For example, the juicy multilayered burger is rich in nutrients so it's healthy especially for ppl that need some weight mass.
And if you eat too much beans, it's bad. As we know.. we can fart a lot. That means something happen to our digestive system.
2. There are some food propaganda like vitaminC propaganda, milk propaganda, etc. We actually dont need these stuffs.
For example, milk. OUR ANCESTORS, MAJORITY OF THEM, DONT CONSUME MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS. ONLY EUROPEANS & MIDDLE EASTERN PPL(including subcontinent Indians) THAT CONSUME DAIRY.
Look at Africans there. They're stronger n taller than Europeans that they being used as slaves even since long time ago. And it's not because of MILK and other Dairy products.
We can get vitaminD, iron, and calcium from other sources. Spinach, tomato, meat, etc.
@@nahor88 Nearly all refrigerated orange juice comes from concentrate--even those claiming otherwise--because local oranges are cheap but only ripe very briefly, while imported oranges are relatively expensive. (Grocery stores eat much of that cost by spreading the loss across the entire year.) The main difference between those that claim to be fresher is that some are mostly flavored by the peel and orange oils, since the juices lose flavor in such long-term storage.
@@haveyougotyourtowel Wrong; they store they non-concentrated juice in vats so they can sell the juice even in the offseason. You're not wrong about the necessity for flavor packs, but it's still nothing like drinking coke.

My maternal grandmother's standard breakfast consisted of the following: eggs fried or scrambled; oatmeal with cream; bacon; sausage; fresh home made buttered biscuits; coffee. Served between 6:30 and 7:00 every morning.

A Virginia Slims commercial from the late 60's emphasized that the suffragette movement gave women the right to smoke. It's on YT.
I can’t imagine living in the days when everyone smoked, everywhere, all the time. I’m old enough to remember smoking sections in restaurants, we always sat far away, lol. I guess you just became “nose blind” to the smell, like how you do with perfume, you can barely smell it after awhile, meanwhile others think you bathed in it. I imagine it was like that for body odor in the days before cheap soap and deodorant. Yet another reason to be glad you’re alive today!
I remember a tennis player (who was more a model than a sportswoman) causing a stir in the 1980's (or 1990's ?) when she turned up to play at Wimbledon in a dress that looked exactly like the packet of a brand of cigarette heavily promoted to young women.
The Betty Crocker story is an urban legend. Yes, cake mix sales were bad at first, and yes, there was market research that said that women were reluctant to use convenience foods such as cake mixes, because they thought it made them neglectful housewives. And yes, cake mix sales did go up once they were reformulated to add eggs. But the real reason cake mixes were changed to add eggs was because of taste. Early, just-add-water cake mixes had powdered eggs in them and they just didn't taste all that good as a result. Once they started reformulating cake mixes to add fresh eggs, the resulting cakes tasted a whole lot better, and that led to increased cake mix sales. This is a rather complicated case of correlation not equaling causation. Also Occam's razor.

The larger theme of what different cultures eat for breakfast, or whatever their first meal is called, whether it's a large or small meal, hot or cold, and whether it is or includes foods specifically assigned to that meal, is one of the more interesting questions in food culture.

I had assumed it was a common food amongst most of the western world until my Eastern European coworker expressed how much she disliked it, and she explained they didn't grow up with it, and that even if they WANTED to find it in her country (which they rarely did) they would generally have go to a specialty store to find it.

I choose to break my fast at noon. I don’t usually get hungry before noon.
I have been keeping myself busy enough in the mornings that I often don't get around to eating anything until around noon. Then, my breakfast may be a calzone cooked in the oven, a banana, some sort of pot pie over a slice of bread, or an English muffin with PB and J. At that point in my day, my final cup of coffee may also be somewhat spiked with a shot of whiskey and / or rum. This is all taken out on the porch and followed up with a bowl of homegrown happy weed...
During my work week, don't have breakfast or lunch, other than a glass of milk, tea or a Coke. I have no problem having a coke before work while everyone has their coffee with so much sugar and cream,it makes my Coke look healthy 😂

On weekends I eat what I want when I want.

Living in the US, I’ve needed to research traditional diets to properly plan my food intake for health. For my breakfast I’ve learned to enjoy sugar free oatmeal with herbs, nuts, and berries as well as a vegan stew made with cabbage, leeks, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, carrots, beets, and sauerkraut with pepper. For lunches I have 3 servings of fruit. Occasionally for dinner I’ll just have a can of beans with more oats if I’m tired from work. It’s amazing how much better I feel eating that way. The Western diet is literally killing people more than any other cause.

If you get actual fresh-squeezed orange juice with a little bit of the pulp in it, it actually is healthy. But nearly all of the orange juice sold in supermarkets today are industrially processed, with tons of oranges juiced and squeezed into large vats which have the juice pasteurized and vacuum sealed, which is why the flavor is essentially burned out. To repackage it into half gallon sized bottles and cartons, they throw in flavor packets filled with orange essential oils and sugar or high fructose corn syrup which is mixed into the juice.

Okay, so I get that most of these traditional American breakfast foods are considered breakfast foods due to marketing. But here’s what I don’t get, and it’s not unique to American cuisine either:
Why breakfast?
Why do all of these marketing campaigns, whether it’s bacon and eggs, cereal, orange juice, or whatever, focus on breakfast? These foods could have just as easily been marketed as lunch or dinner foods?
And here’s the thing. This is true in almost every country. The USA has bacon and eggs. The UK has the full English breakfast. Mexico has huevos rancheros. France had omelettes. But hardly any of these countries have foods specifically marketed as “lunch foods” or “dinner foods.”
Before even watching the video I just want to say. I eat whatever I want at any time of day. If I wake up and want a sandwich, burger, or waffles, thats what I have. The only criteria for breakfast is that it's eaten when you wake up. Even if you wake up at 8pm because you work night shift. Having a type of food you're subjected to eat during certain periods of time throughout the day is a ridiculous concept that I'm sure will be mentioned in this video.

Your body adapts to the routines you set for it. So being able to eat 3 eggs for breakfast everyday is just a matter of practice :)
Townsends once prepared an 18th-century American breakfast consisting of homemade whole-grain bread toast, with a fried egg and a few slices of bacon on top of the toast. (Of course, during this time period, people still needed a hearty breakfast to fuel them for the day.) To me, breakfast *MUST* include bacon, and some kind of starch (anything from plain toast to muffins, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, French toast, popovers, cornbread, or other such homely fare. Add an egg and some OJ (or a banana) and you had an approximation of a balanced meal.

In the post-WWI housing boom era in USA he was approached by the book publishing industry~ they wanted to sell more books. Rather than starting a pro-literary campaign, as had been tried and failed in the past, he approached schools for architectures and instilled into their minds that _"No Modern Home Should Be Without Bookshelves and/or Book Cases."_ Soon nearly every home being built had shelves being built into living rooms and dens across the country. If you have bookshelves you need stuff to put on them, this influenced two major industries; the book publishing (as they had hoped), and the knick-knack industries. Now people had a place for small dolls, snow globes, ceramic figurines, and a slew of small gatzi-riggamaroles.
Dont care where or when it came from I love bacon and eggs.
Exactly 😉
Looks like a full English to me. Its been tradional in England for as long as I can remember - that's best part of 70 years!
Goes back way further. Definitely not an American invention, this bloke just popularised it there.
Then where did the "full English" breakfast come from?
From people that can stomach baked beans and black pudding first thing in the morning!
England presumably.
Pre-dates the American claim to bacon and eggs. As for baked beans, they are most likely an American invention, and most Brits don't go near black pudding, we leave it to the northeners.
2eggs 2 bacon. Coffee and toast. High fat for energy and proteins to keep going all day. Pretty standard long USA farm breakfast. Thanks Hardee for making bacon more expressinve
Daven unpacked the sponsor's product with a sword, and then painted his fingernails red before he started cooking. Highlander, samurai and fashionista.
I didn’t even catch that he painted his nails. I was too busy wondering why he had the sword.
It's amazing by how many consumer goods were established by marketing and not actual health research and we still continue those habits
Why does Deamon have a sword in his kitchen?
Did Hello Fresh give him a sword?
Can I expect a sword from Hello Fresh?
lol
I don't do juice (too much sugar) but eggs and meat absolutely.
