- In today's episode of Tea 'n' Toast Jason and Greg are talking about some British Traditions that our American friends often struggle to understand.

Mom would put a pot roast in the oven before church on Sunday, and it would be ready around 2 in the afternoon. Mom's pot roast would consist of a beef chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions, with a gravy made from the drippings.
Never heard of queuing until I began listening to British RUclipsrs, here, Seattle, WA, we call it getting in line or lining up. We line up for most concerts, theater shows, and of course on Black Friday (if you're insane enough to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving.)
Great to see you back boys. As a Staffordshire born lad myself (Codsall to be exact) I've always used the name mom myself and never mum. Even with greetings cards I will always look for one that has 'mom' on it rather than anything else.
I love full English breakfast. There are a few places in Atlanta that offer it. My mother always did a nice Sunday dinner. She always made fried chicken. Mashed potatoes and gravy. She made the gravy from the pan she fried the chicken in. English green peas, cream corn, home made sweet pickles, chow chow and corn bread or home made biscuits with lots of butter. Iced tea to drink and peach cobbler for dessert. Those were the days. Also only you Brits can make fish n chips properly.
Awesome celebrity shout out!!! The Hoff!!
I loved the traditional breakfast when I visited there...
Beans for breakfast....
We used to do the Sunday dinner....roast, potatoes and carrots...I loved it....all the family there...but after the grandparents passed it just kinda stopped..glad your back boys..great show
My Grandma would bake bread all the time. So when she would have a little extra dough she would fry the bread dough in her iron skillet with lard. That was yummy fried dough. For me though, I dont think anyone else would eat hotdog gravy, but it is something my grandma would make just for me. Its cut up hotdogs mixed with poor man's gravy (simple gravy made with flour, milk, lard and salt). Is a cue like standing in line for something? Thanks for sharing the traditions. Best cup of tea I have had is made with some loose leaf tea from Kenya. Good show fellas.
Great to see you back lads
Bonfire night was always huge in New Zealand when I was growing up thete. Auckland held a huge event every year, Western Springs at first then moved to Mt. Smart Stadium, which began as a sort of mini Edinburgh tattoo (played there in a pipe band for years) and finished up with a fireworks display.
To be honest, if anyone were going to record ‘Let’s talk about food’, it was going to be Salt ‘n’ Pepa.
Great to see you back guys. I’m a fellow West Midlander who uses “Mom.” Don’t forget Yorkshire Pudding with a Sunday dinner. Apologies but I am a member of the Black Pudding appreciation society. Is 10
Cups of Tea a bit too much or average Tea consumption? A quirky thing I do is pour Bovril into my half time meat pie when watching my favourite football team.
Mum is best.
Hall's black pudding is best.
Good to see you lads back on..... And we say mam and da in North East 🇬🇧
We sure do, Mam definitely😁
Grew up I the southern US, Sunday dinner was usually fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, some other veggie or two, and a big plate of our style biscuits.
I drive barefoot all the time and live in Florida! I heard that when I first came here in the 90s! Enjoyed this video gentlemen!
Well don’t Jason “let’s talk about what we eat” 😂😂😂
Yes ad breaks are good for tea or a pee.
How can you not like black pudding?! Its amazing. Another big debate is whether to have beans/tomatoes in separate little bowls or let them spread out on the plate.
Actually Jason it is illegal in my state to drive barefoot or with flip flops but it's usually too cold here to want to, just don't get pulled over and you won't get a ticket. That banjo bit was quite clever.
Hi Lads, so I have to express how much I appreciate British queue’ing. I lived for years in Germany, where they wouldn’t know a queue if it smacked them on the head. Which would make me utterly mental. Thanks for the laughs. I’m headed downstairs to make myself a fry-up. It’s almost midnight.
In my part of the the US dinner is at noon and supper is in the evening. Sunday dinner is Pan Fried Chicken. Sandwiches have french fries on them and you drink it down with a cold Iron City beer!
All this talk about tea and food I’m so hungry now ha. And got the So in towards the end of the show 👏 oh retro collectors yes 😄 great work lads 👍
I live in the us southwest. We have a Navajo food called fry bread that is not loaf bread but a bread that is made sweet or sometimes in a Navajo taco.
Fried bread they are talking about is nothing like Navajo fried bread. I have had both and when they say "fried bread" they are literally putting a slice of bread in the frying pan after cooking the bacon and sausage, so the bread toasts while soaking up all the oils.
I’m American and I love black pudding!!!
Gino Pagnani Black Pudding is amazing! Glad it’s gone over the pond.
I’m more of a liver pudding guy (I’m a southerner)
American Colonies: "We want to drink our tea cold, we don't want to chase cheese down a hill, and we have nothing against Guy Fawkes."
Great Britain: "THIS MEANS WAR!!!
They think we are obsessed with cucumber sandwiches as well and all talk posh! Americans!...😅😁👍
I'm a full born and bred Yorkshire man ya should see them try to cope with my accent and slang it's hilarious 😄 😄
In upper Midwest America we are know for the Friday fish fry. All you can eat fish and chips at a dirty bar
I'm from Gloucester and been up to see cheese rolling. The video doesn't do the hill justice. It's scary steep! I would never do it but it's incredible watching.
I like tea, I'd chase cheese, I remember, I love a Sunday roast (w/gravy), I love a Fry up! (no blood pudding) beans though!!
I had an English roommate from Sussex in 1978. He made the best tea. I don't know what he did. I think it was in the boil. But I have never had a good cuppa since he moved on.
I'm English with a some Scottish blood in me but i LOVE Black Pudding and White Pudding and Haggis, meaning i've eaten a Full English and a Full Scottish breakfast. In the North East of England we use Mam not mum/mom/mother! And the difference between north and south is we do not have lunch at 12.00 but we have dinner at 12.00 and tea at 17.00
Great show.
Place I go once a week for pub trivia now offers the "full Irish breakfast", which is exactly the same as the full English you describe (black pudding included, thank you very much). I had been led to believe that at least one of those should also include mushrooms, and was a bit disappointed that the Irish didn't incorporate some form of potato as well.
A full Irish breakfast will include potato bread, soda bread or both. Irish breakfast will also include both black and white pudding.
You should try north Staffordshire oatcakes with the full English
Potato or tatie sconesare popular in Scotland and are amazing fried with a breakfast. I’ve always wanted to try or make Staffordshire oatcakes. 😋
Conna beat it. Brown sauce on mine please 🤤
A Sunday dinner used to be very common here in the US also. Most families had it after church. even none religious families like mine had it. The meal normally was a roasted meat (Beef,Pork or Chicken) or fried chicken. a vegetable or other side dish and mashed potatoes and gravy. My family also had a dessert, which was they only meal of the week that one was served. I am not sure why but around the mid 80's to early 90's the sunday dinner started becoming ang normal thing here. So saying Americans don't understand a Sunday dinner is sort of not true, maybe younger Americans would find it that way but if you are over 35 you would remember them.
I challenge you to explain Pantos to our American cousins in 30 seconds !
In far western New York, English breakfasts are called a “Garbage Plate”, which has anything on the plate. It’s mostly home fries 🍟, eggs, bacon, ham, beans and onions!
That is NOT an English breakfast. Fries?! Fries on a breakfast?!
I read an article about how tea is supposed to cool you down when it’s hot. Apparently all it does is raise your temperature higher so when you finish your cuppa your body starts to adjust back to the temperature it was before you started drinking it and your brain tricks you into thinking you’re cooler. As Peter Kay once said you don’t see them at a Wimbledon tennis match brewing up , pass the cold barley water, no thanks I’ll have a nice hot cuppa 😂
I heard that In N' Out Burger opened a pop up shop in London, and people were lined up for 4 hours.
I'm from Britain and got my American wife into drinking British Tea also dunking biscuits the red coats taking it back one day at a time :D hehehe also you need a pic of Timmy Mallett on that wall
I love Sunday roast, but My favorite is the Yorkshire Pudding, is this more of a local British food? My daughter has become very good at making Yorkshire Puddings and for a special treat she will bake an entire pan full just for me to eat and a second pan for the rest of the family. And yes we do have long lines to wait (que) in and most Americans will stand in a que.
You lads need to learn to appreciate Southern sweet tea. Delicious 😋 strong & sweet, like 2 cups of sugar in 2 quarts ! Served over tons of ice in a tall glass . Also, we Americans love our coffee hot, iced, and cold brewed ! We do the same thing, except we don’t call it queuing , we just call it , lining up. Drives me crazy when others don’t line up !
I imagine that Americans don’t understand why we have crackers at Christmas then wear paper crowns whilst eating dinner. I never noticed that you were saying mom until you pointed it out. Maw is popular in Scotland as is ma, which I’ve mostly heard in greater Glasgow.
When the weather's nice, we barbecue on the weekends.
in gateshead there was a food van that used to sell a sandwich they called the heart attack, containing, bacon sausage, egg, fried mushrooms, a burger, tomatoes and beans all served in half a stottie, (a stottie is a flat round bead about the size of a dinner plate
Are Parmos from your area? They always look tasty but like a heart attack on a plate!
@@cazharris5581 they are from Middlesbrough, about 30 miles south of where i live, but southerners will say it is my area
Whoops!
I want you guys to do well so can forgive all the adverts. It'd be great to see more videos and Retro collectors again. Maybe viewers can show the 80's bargains they have got from ebay and boot fayres too. Great to see 'Facts for you' again 😀
BTW i drive with flip flops and barefoot quite often especially on long drives of 4 to 6 hours or longer when I take my shoes off.
GREG AND JASON CAN YOU REVIEW THE ZX SPECTRUM I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK OF IT IM UNSURE WHETHER TO GET ONE OR NOT LOVE TO SEE YOU BOTH TAKE ME BACK TO THE 80S AND REVIEW THE GAMES ON THERE
I’m sitting here with my tea on one side and my coffee on the other side.
I do that all the time. LOL
TETLEY'S TEA IS THE BEST
We have table service in McDonald’s in Milton Keynes
Not just Americans but a lot of other countries think what the British do is weird.
Muriel just fainted!!!
Black Pudding is lovely in fact i will go out and buy some for my lunch
On the American Indian reservation, Navajo, we have a sheep herder sandwich. Mmmm. Fried tatoes w/ onions and fried Spam and roasted NM green chile wrapped in tortilla. Mmmm🤗
FYI - Queuing is absolutely Un-American. No, we hate standing in line here, as Americans would normally say.
went to euro disney last year and it was a toss up between londoners where we had to catch the train and the french people on the site being the rudest.
Don’t thing Americans get the idea of draws in sports matches, especially in test match/county cricket when you can play for 4 or 5 days and still no team wins.
You all are funny as hell.
My family in Walsall always say Mom but we say Mum/Mam in Mansfield.
In Texas we celebrate Cinco de Mayo or the Mexican Independence Day more than we celebrate our independence from Mexico which is March 3rd.. any reason to make tacos and drink summer ale I suppose.
Jimmy Jenkins Don’t you wish we celebrated Texas Independence Day as vigorously???
I guess so. It just doesn't make any sense. Lol like joining the United States. I think we should have stayed independent.
You forgot black pudding congealed pigs blood with oats and fat
We queue in the US. The Italians don’t know what a queue is.
America, (t'was Dulles airport), Cyprus, France, Holland, and Germany. Not one of theses countries has ever been capable of making a decent mug of tea. One of the worst things I have to endure in the tea drinking world, is a teabag on a bit of string! What on earth is that all about?
It's no wonder when I'm away on me hols or out of the country, I take me own supply of tea bags and even me own supersized mug.
Did he say Don't Haggis the Hoff? I so need that as a T-Shirt for Tartan Day.
We wanted to drink tea, but there was that taxation issue that made us switch to coffee.
We can get full English here, but we mostly call them full Irish. I for one love both black and white puddings. I ate one most mornings when I was in London.
The one thing I don't understand is the pantomime horse, I get that they are funny, but I have no idea why. So when I saw the Monty Python skit where one is let go, I don't really get the joke.
I knew the answer to "Facts for you" What do I win? 😄
p.s Welcome back boys.
I like black pudding. Especially if it’s fresh.
queuing is a sacred societal covenant in the USA, except we call it " lining up" and what yall call que jumping we call line cutting. and one is liable to get beaten for line cutting, especially if in a "stand your ground, mutual combat" state
We will understand if you tell us. I’m about 60/40 coffee to hot tea.
@BrackynMor Coffee at night?
Newcastle we say.. Mam, instead of mum or mom
Why aye man we say Mam man!
PMSL at the "Banjo" thing. And what about one thing that Brits DON'T do that annoys pretty much the whole rest of the world? Tipping! Brits don't tip and that's a really good way to make yourself incredibly unpopular in other countries 😂
Of course we tip... if the service is deemed worthy.
Greg,PLEASE LEAF IT ALONE!! Not a TREE-MENDOUS gag.Jason,just put him out if his misery...😵😅😅👍
Yes, you WOODn’t want to do that lumberjack gag, you’d be BARKing mad to do so.
@@jimmythebantam It's just the ROOT of the trouble,BRANCHING out too much.😅😅
What about eggy bread?
FIRST TO COMMENT LOL THATS A FIRST THEY SHOULD ONLY GET THE CHEESE IF THEY BEAT THE CHEESE LOL THEY ARE NUTS GOT TO BE ROAST LAMB WITH YOUR SUNDAY LUNCH I USED TO QUEUE UP FOR 3 HOURS TO GET IN OLD TRAFFORD WHEN I WAS A KID 3 POUND S TO GET IN THE STRETFORD END SO SAD MY SON NEVER HAS THAT NOW TO EXTENSIVE MY 8 YEAR OLD SON QUINN LOVES YOU BOTH ME TO GREAT CHANNEL LOVE IT SO MUCH I SEND HIM TO HIS BED ROOM WHEN GREG TELLS HIS JOKES LOL my step mum is called muriel lol cant wait for retro collectors
Cheese rolling? Has Midsomer Murders done an episode featuring this unique British quirk yet? MM is the way we in the colonies learn about the important things in life. 😉
Cheese rolling, it's just a bit of fun.
Bon fire night, it's just a bit of fun.
My mam is known by us kids, as the old girl, although if she heard us call her that we'd get a slap.
Full English, sets you u for the day, black pudding, it's awesome, but fried bread should never be fried in oil, butter, lard, or the fat off the bacon and sausages, but never oil
In my state we race coffins down the Main Street each October. The Emma Crawford coffin race’s. So I guess we are all little insane?
I prefer Hogs Back TEA myself.
I find ice tea sounds great....but it never delivers
I once bought a Lipton ice can of tea by mistake. I thought it was going to be horrible but it was okay.....just.
You’re back! I bought a mug and you disappeared........
Iced tea sounds horrid
Tea. Is it beautiful the water filtration system here America, the tea is not that great?
I am a Coffee drinker.
Northeast it's mam or maaaaa!!!! 💖
Sorry America iced tea is an absolute abomination
I say mom
I hate tea only drink coffee
