      As an example, I live in Japan and when Japanese think of cheese I'm pretty sure they don't think of UK first...

    A fun bacon thought: There are 5 big bacon places in the world: Denmark, Germany, Poland, UK, USA
    Of those the USA is the odd one out, because it is the only one that has made the legal definition of bacon to be belly cuts only. Which deprives them of the joy of succulent bacon.
    All the other places define bacon as cut from the belly AND the loin, which is much more sensible as it allows you to pick which part you want.
    This makes the USA legally wrong about bacon.

    Where cheese is concerned there is matching the type of cheese to the type of biscuit or cracker. Stilton cheese for example tastes very different on a sweet oaty biscuit than it does on a plain wheat biscuit.
    Apple pie may be a British invention, there are recipes from the 14th century (1300s). The king of the apple pie is the Bramley apple. From Wiki: The first Bramley's Seedling tree grew from pips (not in Wiki, I believe they came from New Zealand or somewhere near by) planted by Mary Ann Brailsford in her garden when she was a young girl in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, UK in 1809. Mary left the house when she married and possibly never saw the apples that were produced. She died in 1852 never knowing that "her" seedling was to become famous.[6]. The Bramley is almost exclusively a British variety; however, it is also grown in Ireland. Bramleys are produced by a few United States farms,[9] and can be found in Canada, Australia[10] and Japan.[11].
    I think favourite foods come from your childhood memories and are what you become used to over the decades. I've only ever been to three other countries from the UK, so I really don't have that much to compare British food to. You talked about British curries, but they probably don't taste like the equivalent curry in India. Ditto Spaghetti Bolognaise or paella etc

    "Fries" exists in the UK, but the name is excluvily for American thin cut rather than the British chip which is always much thicker than a fry that you'll get from an American fast food joint. They're pretty much treated as two different things here simply because there's a difference between American fries and British chips, American fries are typically thinner, and the potatoes have more than likely been frozen so that they can be stored for longer, whilst British chips are thicker, plumper, and depending on how good the chip shop owner is, can make the potato inside soft and fluffy with a crisp outside, the absolute best example of a British chip. Though in fairness as Chip Shops are mostly run by families and not by a corporation that expects uniformity, you will find chippies that'll give you bad soggy chips. So if you're looking for a chippy in the UK, be sure to ask around to see what people's favourite fish and chip shop is and look at google reviews.

      @@Aegmog Actually, chips and fries in general originate from Belgium. It's just that "French fries" come from the fact that Thomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" likely due to chefs speaking in French when Belgians, or people from Flanders, this was before Belgium became Belgium, speak a mixture of French and German. But Flanders/Belgium were eating fried potatoes long before other European countries did. It's even believed that Spain started eating fried potatoes before the French did and seeing that Battered fish came from Spain by Jewish people crossing the Mediterranean sea from Morocco, it makes perfect sense how battered fish would get paired up with fried potatoes.

    Pudding is a complex word it originally meant something steamed or boiled. Which could be sweet or savoury. So haggis is a pudding as is black pudding and steak and kidney pudding
    Over time it became associated with sweet things to be had after meals. Desserts and in America is became associated with a single type of dessert.
    Yorkshire pudding is a weird one, although it's savoury it's baked not steamed. But originally it was served with jam like a pancake
    In modern British pudding is more or less synonymous with dessert. Although it has a slightly different connotation it's generally heavier and warm.
    When Orwell said Britain has the best puddings it was with that connotation. Sweet warm and filling for cold damp days

    there are 3 different types of stilton, plain, blue and green, personally dont like any of them as they taste like soap, also, yes cheddar and cheddar gorge are a great place to visit, most of the rest are based in the shires they come from.
    puddings are mostly desserts, but there are savoury puddings and theyre cooked by steaming (black puddings for instance are steamed before being sold, and are fully cooked before sale, but we still recook them when we have them) but cheesecake is on of the desserts some people call puddings because the meaning of the word sort of wandered
    Fries are the weak thin sticks that places like mcdonalds and fast food places sell, chips are about a centimeter thick (or about half inch for steak cut chips) rather than fries being about 3 to 4 millimeters thick
    Crisps ... there are a lot of random crisp flavours that have existed that were loathed and are no longer vailable, one of which was the infamous hedgehog flavour crisps
    pasty is said past ie not paste ie
    uk bacon is based on the Danish cut of bacon, streaky bacon is just fat with a severe lack of meat, and theyre all cheap and quick really, also depends on personal preference, a lot of people massively overcook bacon to the point they might as well be eating bacon flavoured charcoal, i have always preferred my bacon soft and well heated, to some they say thats undercooked, but ive never had food poisoning from, nor has anyone ive cooked for had food poisoning from bacon ive cooked

    The crips thing is so true.. i feel that Denmark or lets say Scandinavia dont even understand crips. Only the biggest supermarket like Føtex will have a selection thats not a joke. But it still only takes seconds to see them all. In England ot takes ages to look at it all, but the best thing. Its all different stuff. So first you got the texture. Then the shape, then the flavor. So popcorn alone can come in 6-7 flavours. I saw Peanuts flavour, Butter,Toffee, Cinnamon, and some other flavours on my local Safeway when i lived there. But you got 10 versions of something cheesy, 4-5 versions of something with bacon flavour. 2-3 chives and onion flavoured. 3-4 prawn flavoured. 12-14 salt & vinegar flavoured. 3-4 beef flavoured. 2-3 pickled onion flavoured. 8-10 sour cream and onion flavoured. All comes in sticks, circles and whatever shape you want. Most perfect crisps are of course Monster Munch. The king of all crisp. Still order them from the UK today.. done so since the early 80s. England had some good pop as well. Dandelion and Burdock and cream soda is also part of my orders today.. England havent got hood sweets though. Its all hard bon bons with fruit flavours and i hate that stuff. So Denmark wins the sweet race easily as we have all the German stuff too as well as our own. American seets are what inspired the brits so that's even worse stuff. No flavour just nonsense made for 6 year olds. On the other hand UK got fish and chips. Swings and roundabouts.. 😊

    Tyler, you doing an excellent job of mangling british place names.
    It's not your fault, you're doing what most Americans do.
    Let me write them PHONETICALLY for you.
    1:- Leicester is actually pronounced 'Lester',
    So Red Leicester cheese would be Red Lester.
    ALL British counties which ends with a 'Shire' are pronounced as 'Shear' .
    Gloucester is a city in the Cotswolds and is pronounced Gloster, so the county is named after that city, so
    Gloucestershire is pronounced Gostershear.'
    As an added bonus, most Americans mangle pronouncing Worcestershire sauce( you know, the spicy sauce you put in a Bloody Mary cocktail.)
    It's phonetically pronounced : Wooster-shear Sauce.

    American bacon is what we call streaky bacon. We use it to wrap around things like chicken, or sausages to make pigs in blankets at Christmas time. Real bacon is usually back bacon which has a much higher meat to fat ratio unlike American which seems to be almost 50/50 meat to fat.
    Also, they are not pronounced 'pay-sty', they are nipple covers that strippers use on stage. It is pronounced 'pass-ty', which is pastry not bread and is filled with skirt steak (similar to your chuck steak), potato, onion, swede (rutabaga in American), salt and pepper and maybe a little butter dotted over the filling which is all raw before the pasty is cooked. They can only be called Cornish pasties if made in Cornwall, otherwise they are just pasties.

    Puddings can either refer to something that's cooked in a specific way
    or it can also refer desserts in general there's not really a solid rule to this it's better to find the distinction in context of it being used.
    But yeah we really have a large variety of cheeses and i hate to break it to you but whatever you guys call cheddar isn't real cheddar you need to get your mitts on some real proper vintage British cheddar.
    As far as fries are concerned we'll call all chips chips but we'll only call the skinny McDonald's-esque fries and curly fries fries the rest are chips.

      Streaky bacon is pork belly bacon, streaked through each rasher with pork belly fat.
      Back bacon rashers are cut from the loins, have minimal fat around the edges, gives a larger slice (rasher) and _is far tastier_ than streaky bacon, (imo). It can also be 'smoked' or 'unsmoked'.

    I feel I've commented this before, but pudding in the UK means a few things, but here it just meant the same as dessert. We'd say "what are we having for pudding?" and it could be any sort of dessert. This has developed from an older meaning of pudding which is a kind of steamed "sausage" (so that would include haggis, black pudding, etc.). Quite where Yorkshire pudding fits in... Just being brilliant!

    America does have pasties,(pronounced pah-stee not pay-stee 👍) anywhere with a mining heritage apparently, brought over by English miners, not dissimilar to a meat knish. We do have "American" bacon, we just call it "streaky" bacon, cut from the belly pork rather than the loin (which is most popular, similar to Canadian bacon). I call thin chips fries, such as McDonald's fries, the fat one's, chips, can't answer for anyone else, though. Most British cheeses have a PDO (protective designation of origin) but Cheddar doesn't, it can be made anywhere and still be called "Cheddar".

    Fries are a VERY poor substitute for chips - and it has to be said, that the first maor company to start doing so was American - McDonalds. The word 'chips' is short for chipped potatoes, whereas 'fries' are usually made in factories and are often little more that thin strips of fat with a little bit of reconstituted potato powder as a filling - most of which have never seen chunky chips made from potatoes you've just peeled yourself, in their entire puffs!

    An example is meat and gravy... if baked in an oven in a pastry is a pie.
    If it's in a tub and steamed, it's a pudding

    Pudding in the UK is used in the same way you use candy or desert. It also describes a food that is steamed/boiled which includes both sweet and savoury foods, ie haggis and and blood sausage are classed as puddings because they are boiled and steak or steak and kindey pudding is a pie with a suet pastry that is steamed rather than baked. As for cheeses there are over 750 varieties of cheeses in the UK but I would not say we do the best cheeses in the world, we are certainly on par with other countries. As for not knowing about the origins of stuff like cheddar, you need to consider the fact that a large population of the US is European American which make you almost all immigrants at some point and you brought with you the foods from your origins like cheeses, apples, pizza and on and on. And how is other countries food being catered to the the host countries palate new to you? Whether we are talking Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, and such they all change their recipes to fit the general people around, that is why you hear how food is different in different states, same as counties in the UK will differ. Off the top of my head the most obvious one for the US is General Zsao chicken or the whole of Panda Express. What you call bacon is what we call streaky bacon, as with the cheese we have several types of bacon, both smoked and unsmoked.
