Hello! I’ll be posting on this channel 3 times a week starting Saturday so look out for an extra video on this channel from now on! I love making these videos and just “chatting shit” with you all so thank you all for subscribing and watching I greatly appreciate it! 🖤
YESSSSS 🥳 We love you chatting shit! Feels like we're just chilling out, having an evening natter and im SO here for it ❤️❤️ love you and your videos Robert!!!
In the spirit of being a Brit saying something nice about the US. Doctors in the US saved my fiances life. The NHS couldn't offer him any more treatment, whereas doctors in the US had less restrictions on what they could prescribe as treatment. He ended up having a transplant in the US and this year he will be 8 years in remission 💛
It's weird to me that we have this global society where we can reach out to almost anyone, anywhere, at any time, but some people choose to make fun of our differences rather than celebrate them.
As an American, I am in awe of the food regulations in the UK. Nobody needs glow in the dark cheese food powder or cereal that has 30 percent of the sugar you should have in a day.
When I went to the UK, we took a tour bus to some historic sites, and we were the only Americans on the bus. Our tour guide asked if there was really a can of spray cheese in the US, which I confirmed. He was fascinated and incredulous that we'd eaten it and actually liked it. I'd never thought of how weird spray cheese might seem to other people, and I still laugh every time I see spray cheese at the grocery store.
I am Puerto Rican and have lived in America my entire life. 75% of my diet is beans. And I have never seen either of those bean dishes, I couldn’t even tell you which one is supposed to be the American one.
Full-blooded American from Chicago here and chipped beef on toast is something from world war two era 😅 I have never physically seen it at a restaurant in all of my life 😂
As a Canadian, I want to say that I absolutely love American cereal and chocolate aisles, and London's Hamley's toy store on Oxford St (I think). I love Olive Garden and Cracker Barrell. I love Digestive cookies and Lion bars. There are great things in the UK and the US.
We use glottle stops in the U.S. as well! I can’t speak for every region but words like “mitten, kitten, curtain” are all pronounced with glottle stops. We also don’t usually pronounce the “t” in “bottle of water”. We turn them into a “d”. “Boddle of wadder”.
Launching off this, I always found it interesting that I can understand the British accent way better than I can understand the accent in Cajun country when I go see my relatives. They're like "Hi der howyadon, dat dare gon be dollfi, dink widda?" and I'm like .... what??
@@beaucarbary5619looks like a different language to me (granted, I’m not an EN native). For all I know that could be an insult or talking about the weather. 😂
Born and raised in the States, lived overseas for a time, have been to London. 1. That corned beef atrocity is NOT something we eat lmfao 2. English people are so kind! I had so many lovely chats with folks from all over the country in London, and a lot of the chats were initiated by them. The pubs are warm, quiet, and have great breakfasts. I don't get the hate besides joking back and forth.
Umm, yes. Creamed chipped beef on toast is a thing we {not everybody) do eat. There is a long history behind it i your are interested. You can actually get it prepared and ready to heat in grocery stores. The way it was prepared and presented in the video is completely incorrect.
Shit on a shingle is delicious! You have to over-toast the bread a little and make your own sauce, no cream soup allowed. Use salted butter. Cut the beef up with kitchen shears. NO PEAS EVER. Serve with the strongest coffee you can make.
@@ganymededarlingit's an old wartime/military chow line food, so it partly depends on your age. My parents were Air Force stateside during the Korean War, and it was served at the cafeteria. My dad in particular got a taste for it on occasion. That and fried SPAM. 😂
Grew up in California and have lived on the east coast for 20 years, that is NOT a common American dish. Never heard of it until this video. It seems like something from a Betty Crocker recipe book from the 1970s with things like aspic or devil eggs and canned mini sausages.
The UK's reverence to their historical architecture is enviable. In the US we tear a lot down. I wish we did more maintenance and restoration. I love the old buildings! That kind of craftsmanship is so incredibly valuable.
The east coast has a number of building regulations that force us to retain historical architecture. I'm from the east coast, so I can't speak about any other part of the country lol
As an English teacher, I absolutely adored listening to Robert talk about the language, accents and regional variants 🫶 would love a reaction video focused on it as well! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Here in the US it's called Sister Cities. Where I live we partnered with a city in Japan and they gifted us sakura (cherry) trees and we have a small cherry blossom festival like they do in Japan. Not sure what we gave them in return, but the concept of sharing cultures is nice.
hi, one of your older American viewers here. I had to laugh at the first US meal on toast, as it was totally wrong, that version apparently invented by someone who didn't understand the dish. The actual dish is called is Creamed Chipped Beef on toast. Not corned beef. During WWII canned sliced dried beef was one of the soldiers rations and it was reconstituted in a plain white sauce because it is an extremely salty type of beef due to the method of preservation for shelf life. The US soldiers had a rude name for it (____on a shingle) because most of the men of the time were used to a hearty Brown Gravy/Sauce and this was a thinner white sauce. all that being said, I love the UK and their quirky television shows and fun accents. Keep on being you, you're the best.
I'm from the uk and i've always had an interest in the US. I actually spoke with an 'american' accent for alot of my childhood. I'm due to visiting for the first time next year and i'm so excited!
Ah ha, so *that's* why my Grandma always called it Shit on a Shingle! 😂 I loved when she would make us that. Thank you for educating me on the background of the term. 😊
I am an American: I have literally never heard of the "chipped beef on toast" first option. When I went over to England, I had a full English breakfast a few times and loved it, even the blood pudding! I'm not crazy about sweets for breakfast, so tomatoes and beans made sense to me!
It might be more of an east coast thing or more in new England where it’s popular. I’m from Pa and we eat chipped beef not like EVERY DAY but it’s definitely a thing
Chipped beef aka "shit on a shingle" is not a normal thing. I only see older people or vintage locations using this and it never looks like someone threw up raw beef 😂 its normally creamy sauce/gravy with like "solid" beef slices.
I have been fortunate to travel to the UK three times in my life so far, and I hope to get the opportunity again. The museums are amazing, and the bookshops and the old towns and the big cites - oh my. The countryside is breathtaking, the people are incredibly warm, and there are CASTLES. Like everywhere, literal castles! I could go on, but you get the idea.
Born & raised in the US, I adore the UK. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and then again a few years later. We are hoping to take our daughter next year. She and I are big into British children’s literature and classic literature. And those are all generalized. We love our biscuit and potato based breakfast items.
I’m an Australian/British dual citizen and have lived in the US for a year. I grew up in Australia so I’m kind of like sitting in the sidelines but us Aussies sometimes get dragged into the debate too. Each country has it’s perks and it’s downfalls. As an English teacher, I absolutely love learning about the differences in the way we speak! It’s not a matter of who’s right or wrong but just about how amazing it is that we have developed our own words and ways of speaking. We’re all fascinating and sharing our differences in a fun and respectful way is great! Edit: I lived in New York for a year and I feel like the way Robert described London is exactly how I experienced NYC. I feel like these two cities siblings that don’t want to admit they’re siblings. 😂 Also I wasn’t a big fan of food in the US but that’s just me! It all depends on the food you’re used to so of course you’ll think the food in your home country is the best.
We used to eat creamed chipped beef on toast when I was a kid, but it NEVER looked like that. It was more like strips of salty dried beef in a white gravy (literally white, not whatever color that was) sauce. We didn't eat it for every meal or anything, just occasionally. I think beans are nice, maybe not for breakfast. Also, I really like British accents. ❤
As a singing teacher who often needs to teach various different dictions (depending on the material a student is working on), I was simply delighted to hear Robert explain what a glottal stop is. 🥰
I did,on a few occasions,go & help out one of our satellite offices in Minneapolis during our quiet season (they were always snowed under and understaffed). The winters there were absolutely wild 😅 I've never seen so much snow piled up in a city ...and everything, absolutely everything just carried on as normal & nobody batted an eyelid. We get two flakes of snow in London & it's absolute carnage 😊 Minnesotans are delightful,btw - wicked sense of humour 💕
SO WEIRD! I was just talking to my husband about the distance thing today. In the US, if you want to see a desert, grasslands, tundras… you don’t have to leave the country. No passport needed. Olympic National Park has a coastline, alpine areas, and a temperate rainforest. Saguaro National Park has cacti 40-60 feet tall. Smoky Mountain National Park is the most biologically diverse park. Desert? Got it. Mountains? Got ‘em. Beaches? Got ‘em. 3000 year old trees that are 250-300 feet tall? Got ‘em. Also, as people from the US who have driven cross country can tell you, driving across country can remind one of driving through multiple countries. The accents, flora, landscapes change so much from region to region. There’s so much diversity. And the size…god grief. If I drive 2 hours north, I’ll still be in my home state. If I drive 16-18 hours north, I won’t even hit Canada. From here, Google says California is a 31 hour drive. 31! 2,155 miles. And I don’t live on the opposite coast. Yes, we have a lot of issues. We all know. We don’t need anyone reminding us daily on socials. But if I won the lottery tomorrow, I start exploring more of my home country, going to all of the places I’ve always wanted to see. Then I would head across the pond. I want to see those giant trees, dammit.
I agree with you. I hate it when people think the US isn’t that diverse. Everything is so different from state to state. I live on the border of my home state and can travel to at least 4-5 different states in a day. I can go to Kansas City and then drive down to Dallas all within 8 hours. We also have pretty diverse weather. Hurricanes in the southern and eastern states. Tornados in the south and Midwest. Earthquakes in the west. Of course we have all of that elsewhere too. I am from Arkansas and we can have an ice storm in January and the a few days later it be in the 50s. Our summers are brutal. We get thunderstorms in the Spring. Sometimes our winters are warm. This week alone it was above 60 every day.
We have all those things in the UK too. Arctic tundra, temperate rainforest, desert, alpine areas, mountains, ancient trees etc. Don't need to travel as far to see it all 😂😊
@@JMWitteArt no need to be a wideo. All I meant was its no so far apart in the UK obviously so don't have to travel for days like the USA, and don't have to leave the country either.
I’m an American and have a neighbor from London. She is the sweetest person I’ve ever known and I really enjoy chatting with her across our yards. I love hearing about her life growing up in London. 😊
I LOVE watching British stuff!! The BBC makes so many wonderful things and I am so fascinated by all the history and they way people lived for so long in England. If it is a period show or movie chances are I'm gonna love it. I am currently watching upstairs/downstairs and it is so good.
I'm from the USA. Alabama. Something that I love about the UK is the rich history. Here in America, we have history but as a nation as a whole, we are young. Fortunately, I have native blood running through my veins, know about some of the culture, traditions and legends of my tribal people but we don't have an easily understood, accessible or well written lengthy history. I appreciate this about the UK and find the history fascinating. It's not just that though. I also love watching Robert and James!! They always make me smile!! So, much love from across the pond!! 🥰❤
I know there's going to be 10k comments just like this one, but I really do love your accents ❤ I have comprehension issues (autistic adhd lol), and I'm hard of hearing,so it's MUCH easier to understand what you're saying the first time. I feel like I burden people by going "huh? what?" all the time, so I appreciate being able to hear the first time 😭
I’m American (Georgia), and I appreciate how generally friendly people are here. I love the way British people speak! It’s so endearing to read all the kind comments about each other ❤
I live in St. Louis, Missouri and our sister city is Stuttgart, Germany. I love the UK! There is no good or bad…we’re just different. Although, the Brits do drive on wrong side of the road. Kidding! 😂
When I was a waitress we had a table of Americans and they asked for a ‘pitcher of water’. But I’d never heard of that so I walked away wondering when they wanted a ‘picture’ of water 🤣
The guy in the first video is a massive troll. I’ve seen a good number of his US vs UK food videos, and he always creates some disgusting bullshit no American has ever seen in their lives. Like this one. And then claims Americans “can’t get enough of”. Like, wtf are you talking about lol
I’m from the US and am coming to the UK and Ireland for my honeymoon in a few months, and my fiancé and I can’t wait!! We’ve both been wanting to travel there forever 😊
- Video 1: I still make chipped beef on toast (also known as $h17 on a shingle lmao) to this day. it was something my grandmother taught me but it is NOT COMMON and SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THAT. Yes, the sauce is bland because the salt and fat come from the already salty preserved beef (this beef carried over from war times). The sauce is basically butter, flour, pepper (you can make it better with onions and mushrooms if you want to go fancy) and the beef sliced. - Video 2: we do have these! They are called sister cities afaik in the US. A lot of the times there is some small reason they are considered "friends" Someone immegrated, did some heroic act, donated things from one place to another etc. Sometimes you get something like "This city in X country donated materials to rebuild our city after X disaster" and its really nice to see. There is usually some kind of memorial plaque to go with it as a "gift" in remembrance in the city/town. - Video 3: As a US citizen, the school system, like many other things in the US, is fucked up here but we arent stupid. Oregon is a state! its a great place (I might be biased because that is my home
Creamed chipped beef on toast is a very old fashioned thing that you may occasionally see in diners, but that's about it. It looks NOTHING like that weird pink slop the guy made, though. It's a white sauce with bits of dried beef in it. It originated as something filling that could be fed to military troops, as it's cheap, filling, and uses dried meat.
I've lived in Alaska, Oregon, California, New Mexico and South Carolina and have visited over 25 states I have never once actually seen a restaurant sell chipped beef on toast (called appropriately 'sh*t on a shingle'). I have heard of it, but it is a VERY vintage recipe. Like.. war times recipe. From WWII. What I can say is that, from what I know about the dish, that was very overcooked and needed to use a special kind of preserved meat. Namely 'dried chipped beef', which I have seen at the grocery store but have never actually needed or wanted to purchase. From pictures of the dish I recall larger, thin chunks of very salty meat and a white sauce. This looked like catfood. I do know that in the Navy on boats it is one of the things easy to keep on hand for long voyages and I think my Dad used to eat it during his service which is likely why we never made it at home. He still has a hard time stomaching certain types of roast beef and canned ravioli because he ate so much during the war. TL;DR I've been all over the US and never actually tried this or seen it at restaurants, and it's a vintage recipe likely eaten no more than savory jello. Usually reserved for hard times like the military and prison.
I never watch these kinds of videos cause it bugs me to see people put down or make fun of other people ... just for being from where theyre from. Laughing at someone or making negative comments for things like what we eat lol or how we do things where we're from... come one dude. I honestly think its so interesting to see what other people do and say and eat... from all over the world. And even if it doesnt look like something I would enjoy... so what! Everything's good to someone. Some of yall need to just touch grass and relax !!! lol Im no better than you and youre no better than me. Someone give me a hug lol 🧡
The issue isn’t the beans, per se. It’s a knee jerk reaction from seeing what looks like soupy Boston baked beans on white bread. It’s completely different from black or pinto beans.
I live in California... Northern California specifically. Grew up in Southern California. Only other state I've been to is Minnesota and it's VERY different from CA. Anyway, I don't know about every state but the 2 I've been to, my experience is people are rude! Hence why I much prefer animals A The #1 place I've always wanted to go IS the UK!! No desire to go to Italy or France...but hope to someday get to the UK!😊❤🇬🇧 P.S....I think it'd be fun for you to do an entire video in your version of an American accent! 🇺🇲😂
Born and raised in the UK here, but 10 years ago I finally found my half-brother who lives in Oregon. Been there a few times and absolutely LOVED it. Want to move over there to be with my wonderful family ❤
I love where I live (Oregon) but I adore British media. Comedy, drama, period dramas, police procedurals...the Brits have it!!! Also love Alall of the accents, architecture and cultural richness. I would LOVE to visit the UK and hope to in the not too distant future. There are parts of the United States that I really appreciate but it is on my bucket list to go to the UK and Scandinavia (esp Denmark). Also Australia and New Zealand! I can't stand the "who is better" jabs that you sometimes see or hear online. There is good to be found everywhere. ❤ Also... Not sure if that last guy talking about Big Ben was kidding but it was CRINGE listening to him. I think the architecture in Europe as a whole is breathtaking and Big Ben is gorgeous. Learn to read a clock, dude! My goodness I shudder to think people could judge all Americans by watching videos by people like this guy. Although maybe he was kidding? I hope so because MY GOODNESS... How incredibly rude to insult a famous landmark of another country! Incidentally, I have a 10-year-old named Ben and sometimes I call him Big Ben because he's super tall. Interesting bit about the fact that it's the bell named Big Ben and not the tower! Robert always teaches me something. 😊
As a Brit I’ve never understood people who criticise people from the US for not travelling abroad. Look at how diverse the landscape there is. You want a snowy holiday? They got it. You want a mountain escape? They got it. You want beaches? They got it. You want a city break? They got it. Plus it’s a MASSIVE country it takes a long time to get from one side to the other, let alone travel to somewhere like Europe. Why waste a couple of days travelling to another country when you have all types of vacation destinations in your own?
Omg about regional accents!!! My former coworker studied that in college and you could ask her about any accent or dialect and she'd give you a rundown of the origins and human migrations that lead to accent distributions. Absolutely fascinating
This is funny because the other day some random from the UK on a TOTALLY unrelated video started trying to argue with me that people from the UK are better. 😂. I didn’t take the bait I try not to argue with trolls but I had no idea this was a thing.
Robert going on about how there are “stupid people everywhere. Full stop. Don’t let anyone fool you. There’s just different kinds of stupid. But, they’re everywhere” just sent me 😂😂😂 LOVE you Robert! 💜🖤 I watch every single one of your videos. Both channels. Every. Single. One 🎉 🎊🎈
I love this!! I found it very interesting. I was born in Canada and moved to the U.S. when I was a kid. I hope to go to the UK some day. I think the differences should be celebrated!! That’s why it’s so nice to meet people from other countries. I live in Vegas now and I love that most people who live here are from someplace else!!❤❤
As a Texan, I would love to visit the UK 😭 if I could afford it, I would travel to so many places! The US is definitely big, which can make you feel kinda stuck sometimes..
From Canada... I love the food and nature in the UK! Today, I was thinking about and having cravings for UK toast. I also love the damp for my hair and skin. Annnd I love going to the US for the culture, it's fun!
I love America. I won’t live anywhere else. LOVE it. HOWEVER! London is my second favorite city behind my home of Chicago. I love the differences btwn the UK & USA. It’s fun! I also wish ppl would stop doing this. Enjoy different cultures! You can enjoy without the chest pounding.
Yalls accents are superb. I know that’s common. But coming from the south hearing proper accents (I know there’s “country” accents in all countries), because that’s something you just don’t hear around here. I love my drawl, but it’s nice. And I actually come from Tennessee, which has Bristol. Twinning 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
I think the UK is great. I would guess the vast majority of people that criticize other countries haven’t spent any decent amount of time there. They’re just repeating things they’ve heard and not actually fact checked themselves. Oh and also, I’ve lived in the NE, SE, SW, NW, and central US, and I’ve never seen that first food (if you can even call it that) on toast. And I’m sure I’d remember something that looks like barf on bread.
Let me tell you something, I LOVE a full English breakfast and even more if it's a fry up in the Caribbean. You almost can't ask for anything else. I think that first dish is a version of what we call Sh!+ on a Shingle, and while I know it exists, I've never had it and never seen it on a menu (I'm in the Bible Belt) I think it comes from war times. Tasting History has an episode about it.
I really liked the concept of this video. It would be great if you could do more like this! Maybe you and James could do some taste tests or blind taste tests on your twin channel. It’s always so funny when you both laugh at the same time. I end up laughing out loud at it!
I am in the US and hate it when people drag on it. The US wouldn’t even be a country if it wasn’t for other countries coming here. We have things from all over. Louisiana has French influence. Florida has Spanish influence. The NE has Italian. Places in Texas and even the North has Polish. Everywhere is different. Where I live in Arkansas there is a huge Vietnamese community because of the refugees coming here from Vietnam in the 70s-80s. My mom was one of them. My dad’s parents immigrated to NYC from Poland and then moved to Pennsylvania. America is such a melting pot. Also our accents across the country is fairly diverse as well. Go up north of Arkansas to parts of Missouri into Nebraska and you get the midwestern accent. Go to Alabama and you get a deep thick southern accent. The NE has its own accent. Louisiana has an accent that has some French influence. There are lots of different accents.
I have never seen that meat on toast breakfast served or eaten anywhere in the USA and I have lived in the USA my whole life. Also, huevos rancheros is one of my favorites breakfast. It comes from Mexico, and is a tortilla with beans in it with eggs and salsa on top of them. I have seen that it is served in a lot of restaurants across the country and not just in the Southwest.
Born & raised in the US, and when I went to the UK I was so excited about the food quality. Give me an ASDA Cheddar Ploughman's over Subway every day of the week.
I love the UK! I’ve never been there but when my sister was in 6th grade, her English class had an assignment where they had pen pals. We lived in a small town named Plymouth and she ended up pen paling a guy from Plymouth, England. My sister is 41 and I am 38. We all still keep in touch and over the many years we’ve known each other, we’ve sent countless care packages to each other (he ended up being a friend of mine as well and we’ve had many phone conversations). We’ve even gotten to know each others families over the years. One of the things we find interesting is that the UK doesn’t have any artificial grape flavoring so we’ve sent care packages with grape flavored candy. It’s been a lovely time getting to know him and have him in our lives 🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸
Yeah, the bread tastes better there, cause europe doesn't allow genetic modification of the wheat, also less allergic reactions to the good wheat y'all have.
I live in the US and I have never seen chipped beef on toast look like that. It's supposed to be a white gravy with the beef bits mixed in, not that pink slop.
I am from the US, I've had chipped beef on toast, but it was from my dad, who was in the military (I believe it was a cheap military dish). We called it SOS (sh*t on a shingle). It haven't had it in ages, and never really heard of many other people eating it!
Southern American. I've never seen the "chipped beef" deal. I agreed that it resembled baby vomit. 😅 I'm good on that. I feel like people from the UK have a wonderful sense of humor that tends to be more based on wit than much of the humor in the US, which relies a bit on crude humor and shock value. While there is a time and place for each, I feel the drier humor is more my speed.
American here I’ve never seen chipped beef on toast. I’d eat the beef slices but not the way they cooked it. Also I’ve visited the UK many times and the curries, fish&chips, the ciders, prawn chips, and the Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding…. OMG!
I have never in my whole life seen that chipped beef dish. Chipped beef in Texas where I’m from is bbq on a hamburger bun. I eat those beans all the time but not usually on toast. My nice thing about British people is that I adore your voices. I love to listen to y’all talk.
Hello! I’ll be posting on this channel 3 times a week starting Saturday so look out for an extra video on this channel from now on!
I love making these videos and just “chatting shit” with you all so thank you all for subscribing and watching I greatly appreciate it! 🖤
Awesome, I love these videos and even my husband and son watch them. Thank you 💜🖤💜🖤
And we love this channel Robert🖤🖤🖤🖤
I agree Robert, we definitely need more reactions. You are so engaging
YESSSSS 🥳 We love you chatting shit! Feels like we're just chilling out, having an evening natter and im SO here for it ❤️❤️ love you and your videos Robert!!!
Love this channel, I could listen to you talk about anything and still be entertained! We are so spoiled to be getting 3 videos a week soon😍
Born and raised in the US, and I have NEVER seen the first "American" food dish.
I have and they made it purposely to look gross
Like everrrrrrrr. Gross af
Agreed. Is he trying to do shit on a shingle? But that's chopped ham and gravy? Lol.
Looks like potted meat on toast 😂
@@niinaajokatzenborn8445 yes! Shit on a shingle is dried chipped beef.
One of my favorite things about Britain is Robert Welsh.
Yes! And his brother, James! 💜
Marcus too! ❤
Ashton!
Same😊
I am British and I approve this message
Born and raised in the U.S and I have never eaten chipped beef, nor have I collapsed to my knees due to someone eating beans for breakfast! 😊
Seriously! If they were black beans I’d probably make it lol
In Maine, it's pretty common to have molasses baked beans with breakfast and it's delicious 😋
Same!
My dad would talk about eating it as a kid when he lived in the midwest, but to this day, I've never had it or seen it served.
Me either, never had or SEEN chipped beef 🤣
In the spirit of being a Brit saying something nice about the US. Doctors in the US saved my fiances life. The NHS couldn't offer him any more treatment, whereas doctors in the US had less restrictions on what they could prescribe as treatment. He ended up having a transplant in the US and this year he will be 8 years in remission 💛
I’m so happy to hear that I hope all is well with you and your fiancé 🤍
That's really great to hear! Congratulations to both of you!
How much did you have to pay for it?
@@Wiviw_ $0. It was a clinical trial through NIH so the whole thing was funded
Wow that's crazy, he's had more healthcare in the US than most Americans have had in the US lmao
It's weird to me that we have this global society where we can reach out to almost anyone, anywhere, at any time, but some people choose to make fun of our differences rather than celebrate them.
Right!??
agreed!
Love this comment ❤
Agreed. We also have a lot of the same things. I mean colonial Americans did come from England so there is cultural crossover that remained in the US.
The only ones I like are the Norwegian guys who do such cute teasing with love.
As someone in the US, I have never seen that toast thing in my entire 30 years of life
58 years here in the US. Same!
Me either, but I Googled it, and it looks much less disgusting in the pictures there vs that guy’s video, lol.
Same!
I vaguely remember seeing it in a video about meals made during the depression
Never heard of it either Robert 😂 I’m from England and have relatives in America and they haven’t either.
As an american, I can safley say that I really enjoy british architecture.
That’s what I love about the US also! The architecture is so unique in alot of states!
We used to have good architecture but now its all McMansion subdivisions and strip malls
In the east coast we've got old colonial architecture. Some of the prettiest ones are now lawyers offices.
I love the wooden houses in the USA, they look so cute
Chipped beef is not an American thing. It’s a regional thing, and I’ve never even seen it let alone eaten it.
If he can’t read the “hieroglyphic” clock we have more problems in America than I thought 😂
That kid was ridiculous.
@@Kinikia95 He's not being serious. "Obmna" gave me a good laugh. 😂
he's making a joke it's definitely satirical LOL but honestly i dont put it past some americans either so i get it
@@leilawhene219 yeah, I’m just teasing but also yeah I don’t put it past humans period. Weird lot we are.
I know a full grown woman who can't read "round time". Yes. That's what she calls an analogue clock
As an American, I am in awe of the food regulations in the UK. Nobody needs glow in the dark cheese food powder or cereal that has 30 percent of the sugar you should have in a day.
We do need cool whip and velveta though 👀
@@Robert_Reacts I think velveeta is gross, but you are totally missing out on the cool whip
When I went to the UK, we took a tour bus to some historic sites, and we were the only Americans on the bus. Our tour guide asked if there was really a can of spray cheese in the US, which I confirmed. He was fascinated and incredulous that we'd eaten it and actually liked it. I'd never thought of how weird spray cheese might seem to other people, and I still laugh every time I see spray cheese at the grocery store.
@@Robert_Reactsvelveta is not very good on its own but in queso dip and grilled cheese it’s pretty good.
Agreed 💯
I am Puerto Rican and have lived in America my entire life. 75% of my diet is beans. And I have never seen either of those bean dishes, I couldn’t even tell you which one is supposed to be the American one.
Full-blooded American from Chicago here and chipped beef on toast is something from world war two era 😅 I have never physically seen it at a restaurant in all of my life 😂
As a Canadian, I want to say that I absolutely love American cereal and chocolate aisles, and London's Hamley's toy store on Oxford St (I think). I love Olive Garden and Cracker Barrell. I love Digestive cookies and Lion bars. There are great things in the UK and the US.
I've never seen chipped beef in my life. We have grilled cheese and peanut butter and jelly! 😋
All of those options are amazing 🤤
Go to a real diner and ask for it.
Love this comment 😂
Right? Like if you want a quintessential American bread dish it's BO&J
We use glottle stops in the U.S. as well! I can’t speak for every region but words like “mitten, kitten, curtain” are all pronounced with glottle stops. We also don’t usually pronounce the “t” in “bottle of water”. We turn them into a “d”. “Boddle of wadder”.
Plus the Wisconsin/Minnesota accent! (Bag)
Launching off this, I always found it interesting that I can understand the British accent way better than I can understand the accent in Cajun country when I go see my relatives. They're like "Hi der howyadon, dat dare gon be dollfi, dink widda?" and I'm like .... what??
@@beaucarbary5619looks like a different language to me (granted, I’m not an EN native). For all I know that could be an insult or talking about the weather. 😂
Born and raised in the States, lived overseas for a time, have been to London.
1. That corned beef atrocity is NOT something we eat lmfao
2. English people are so kind! I had so many lovely chats with folks from all over the country in London, and a lot of the chats were initiated by them. The pubs are warm, quiet, and have great breakfasts. I don't get the hate besides joking back and forth.
Umm, yes. Creamed chipped beef on toast is a thing we {not everybody) do eat. There is a long history behind it i your are interested. You can actually get it prepared and ready to heat in grocery stores. The way it was prepared and presented in the video is completely incorrect.
@@MightyMouse-bi1vxwhere do you live? I've never heard of this in my entire life..
Shit on a shingle is delicious! You have to over-toast the bread a little and make your own sauce, no cream soup allowed. Use salted butter. Cut the beef up with kitchen shears. NO PEAS EVER. Serve with the strongest coffee you can make.
@@ganymededarlingit's an old wartime/military chow line food, so it partly depends on your age. My parents were Air Force stateside during the Korean War, and it was served at the cafeteria. My dad in particular got a taste for it on occasion. That and fried SPAM. 😂
Grew up in California and have lived on the east coast for 20 years, that is NOT a common American dish. Never heard of it until this video. It seems like something from a Betty Crocker recipe book from the 1970s with things like aspic or devil eggs and canned mini sausages.
The UK's reverence to their historical architecture is enviable. In the US we tear a lot down. I wish we did more maintenance and restoration. I love the old buildings! That kind of craftsmanship is so incredibly valuable.
The east coast has a number of building regulations that force us to retain historical architecture. I'm from the east coast, so I can't speak about any other part of the country lol
At least for me the digging at each other is funny, some jokes are genuinely funny but a lot of people take it way too far and take it too seriously.
As an English teacher, I absolutely adored listening to Robert talk about the language, accents and regional variants 🫶 would love a reaction video focused on it as well! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Here in the US it's called Sister Cities. Where I live we partnered with a city in Japan and they gifted us sakura (cherry) trees and we have a small cherry blossom festival like they do in Japan. Not sure what we gave them in return, but the concept of sharing cultures is nice.
‘There’s stupid people everywhere, they’re just different kinds of stupid’. Better quotes than Socrates 😂💯
hi, one of your older American viewers here. I had to laugh at the first US meal on toast, as it was totally wrong, that version apparently invented by someone who didn't understand the dish. The actual dish is called is Creamed Chipped Beef on toast. Not corned beef. During WWII canned sliced dried beef was one of the soldiers rations and it was reconstituted in a plain white sauce because it is an extremely salty type of beef due to the method of preservation for shelf life. The US soldiers had a rude name for it (____on a shingle) because most of the men of the time were used to a hearty Brown Gravy/Sauce and this was a thinner white sauce. all that being said, I love the UK and their quirky television shows and fun accents. Keep on being you, you're the best.
I am learning so much from this video and comments. Very cool to know that 🫘🍞
Came here looking for a comment about this! I grew up eating chipped beef on toast and I was like... bruh that's not it 🤣
I'm from the uk and i've always had an interest in the US. I actually spoke with an 'american' accent for alot of my childhood. I'm due to visiting for the first time next year and i'm so excited!
Ah ha, so *that's* why my Grandma always called it Shit on a Shingle! 😂 I loved when she would make us that. Thank you for educating me on the background of the term. 😊
Yes this is right! This is how my family makes it and refers to it as SOS.
I am an American: I have literally never heard of the "chipped beef on toast" first option. When I went over to England, I had a full English breakfast a few times and loved it, even the blood pudding! I'm not crazy about sweets for breakfast, so tomatoes and beans made sense to me!
It might be more of an east coast thing or more in new England where it’s popular. I’m from Pa and we eat chipped beef not like EVERY DAY but it’s definitely a thing
I think it's maybe more of an old timey thing.
@@noeyyang38I don’t think so, I’m from New England and I’ve never seen or heard of it. None of my friends/family have either
Honestly the full breakfast isn’t all that different from a diner breakfast here, almost the same with added fiber actually
That "Obamna" jump scare at 18:39 almost had me in tears!
😂😂😂😂 that’s what it said! I had to replay that lol
I scrolled through the comments looking for this, and the way he jumped sent me into ORBIT
Hahaha, I only know about this because my husband shows me that kind of memes lol 😅 I actually laughed 😂
Chipped beef aka "shit on a shingle" is not a normal thing. I only see older people or vintage locations using this and it never looks like someone threw up raw beef 😂 its normally creamy sauce/gravy with like "solid" beef slices.
I have been fortunate to travel to the UK three times in my life so far, and I hope to get the opportunity again. The museums are amazing, and the bookshops and the old towns and the big cites - oh my. The countryside is breathtaking, the people are incredibly warm, and there are CASTLES. Like everywhere, literal castles! I could go on, but you get the idea.
Born & raised in the US, I adore the UK. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and then again a few years later. We are hoping to take our daughter next year. She and I are big into British children’s literature and classic literature. And those are all generalized. We love our biscuit and potato based breakfast items.
I'm from the UK but i've always been slightly obessed with America. I'm visiting for the first time next year and i'm so excited!
I’m an Australian/British dual citizen and have lived in the US for a year. I grew up in Australia so I’m kind of like sitting in the sidelines but us Aussies sometimes get dragged into the debate too. Each country has it’s perks and it’s downfalls. As an English teacher, I absolutely love learning about the differences in the way we speak! It’s not a matter of who’s right or wrong but just about how amazing it is that we have developed our own words and ways of speaking. We’re all fascinating and sharing our differences in a fun and respectful way is great!
Edit: I lived in New York for a year and I feel like the way Robert described London is exactly how I experienced NYC. I feel like these two cities siblings that don’t want to admit they’re siblings. 😂 Also I wasn’t a big fan of food in the US but that’s just me! It all depends on the food you’re used to so of course you’ll think the food in your home country is the best.
Been here, US, for a couple of decades. I've never seen that first product. And that dude was so condescending
We used to eat creamed chipped beef on toast when I was a kid, but it NEVER looked like that. It was more like strips of salty dried beef in a white gravy (literally white, not whatever color that was) sauce. We didn't eat it for every meal or anything, just occasionally. I think beans are nice, maybe not for breakfast. Also, I really like British accents. ❤
As a singing teacher who often needs to teach various different dictions (depending on the material a student is working on), I was simply delighted to hear Robert explain what a glottal stop is. 🥰
Vocalist here and I was equally as excited! We use them in American English too 🤷🏻♀️
I did,on a few occasions,go & help out one of our satellite offices in Minneapolis during our quiet season (they were always snowed under and understaffed). The winters there were absolutely wild 😅 I've never seen so much snow piled up in a city ...and everything, absolutely everything just carried on as normal & nobody batted an eyelid.
We get two flakes of snow in London & it's absolute carnage 😊
Minnesotans are delightful,btw - wicked sense of humour 💕
SO WEIRD! I was just talking to my husband about the distance thing today. In the US, if you want to see a desert, grasslands, tundras… you don’t have to leave the country. No passport needed. Olympic National Park has a coastline, alpine areas, and a temperate rainforest. Saguaro National Park has cacti 40-60 feet tall. Smoky Mountain National Park is the most biologically diverse park. Desert? Got it. Mountains? Got ‘em. Beaches? Got ‘em. 3000 year old trees that are 250-300 feet tall? Got ‘em.
Also, as people from the US who have driven cross country can tell you, driving across country can remind one of driving through multiple countries. The accents, flora, landscapes change so much from region to region. There’s so much diversity.
And the size…god grief. If I drive 2 hours north, I’ll still be in my home state. If I drive 16-18 hours north, I won’t even hit Canada. From here, Google says California is a 31 hour drive. 31! 2,155 miles. And I don’t live on the opposite coast.
Yes, we have a lot of issues. We all know. We don’t need anyone reminding us daily on socials.
But if I won the lottery tomorrow, I start exploring more of my home country, going to all of the places I’ve always wanted to see. Then I would head across the pond. I want to see those giant trees, dammit.
I agree with you. I hate it when people think the US isn’t that diverse. Everything is so different from state to state. I live on the border of my home state and can travel to at least 4-5 different states in a day. I can go to Kansas City and then drive down to Dallas all within 8 hours. We also have pretty diverse weather. Hurricanes in the southern and eastern states. Tornados in the south and Midwest. Earthquakes in the west. Of course we have all of that elsewhere too. I am from Arkansas and we can have an ice storm in January and the a few days later it be in the 50s. Our summers are brutal. We get thunderstorms in the Spring. Sometimes our winters are warm. This week alone it was above 60 every day.
We have all those things in the UK too. Arctic tundra, temperate rainforest, desert, alpine areas, mountains, ancient trees etc. Don't need to travel as far to see it all 😂😊
@@MyDreamIsAStorywait who said the US is not diverse?? Lol are we not literally THE MOST diverse place in the world? We’re called a “melting pot”.
@@jmillar71110 That’s phenomenal for you! So great! YAY UK!
Multiple countries having the same things as one country is really great!
@@JMWitteArt no need to be a wideo. All I meant was its no so far apart in the UK obviously so don't have to travel for days like the USA, and don't have to leave the country either.
I’m an American and have a neighbor from London. She is the sweetest person I’ve ever known and I really enjoy chatting with her across our yards. I love hearing about her life growing up in London. 😊
In Michigan we’d say “Bottlawahder”. Kind of like if we are asking someone if they’ve eaten a meal recently. “Did you eat yet?” becomes “Jeetyet?” 😂
I've never said Jeetyet! But I just said bottle of water out loud and you're spot-on with that one.
I LOVE watching British stuff!! The BBC makes so many wonderful things and I am so fascinated by all the history and they way people lived for so long in England. If it is a period show or movie chances are I'm gonna love it. I am currently watching upstairs/downstairs and it is so good.
I'm from the USA. Alabama. Something that I love about the UK is the rich history. Here in America, we have history but as a nation as a whole, we are young. Fortunately, I have native blood running through my veins, know about some of the culture, traditions and legends of my tribal people but we don't have an easily understood, accessible or well written lengthy history. I appreciate this about the UK and find the history fascinating. It's not just that though. I also love watching Robert and James!! They always make me smile!!
So, much love from across the pond!! 🥰❤
I know there's going to be 10k comments just like this one, but I really do love your accents ❤ I have comprehension issues (autistic adhd lol), and I'm hard of hearing,so it's MUCH easier to understand what you're saying the first time. I feel like I burden people by going "huh? what?" all the time, so I appreciate being able to hear the first time 😭
I went to Ireland last year and tried Irish stew for the first time. It was the most amazing stew I’ve ever had 🤤
2 years ago, I finally got my dream and went to London. I loved everything, including traditional English breakfast! Best porridge EVER!
I’m lovin that Robert is teaching us about the UK !
I’m American (Georgia), and I appreciate how generally friendly people are here. I love the way British people speak! It’s so endearing to read all the kind comments about each other ❤
I live in St. Louis, Missouri and our sister city is Stuttgart, Germany.
I love the UK! There is no good or bad…we’re just different. Although, the Brits do drive on wrong side of the road. Kidding! 😂
When I was a waitress we had a table of Americans and they asked for a ‘pitcher of water’. But I’d never heard of that so I walked away wondering when they wanted a ‘picture’ of water 🤣
The guy in the first video is a massive troll. I’ve seen a good number of his US vs UK food videos, and he always creates some disgusting bullshit no American has ever seen in their lives. Like this one. And then claims Americans “can’t get enough of”. Like, wtf are you talking about lol
I’m from the US and am coming to the UK and Ireland for my honeymoon in a few months, and my fiancé and I can’t wait!! We’ve both been wanting to travel there forever 😊
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Wishing you the loveliest honeymoon ever…✨🤍✨
@@ColletteC2106 Aw, thank you so much for the well wishes and taking the time to comment ♥️ I hope you’re having a great weekend!

Many of us in the US can’t afford to travel within our borders, let alone travel abroad
As long as people are kind (and witty) I don't care where you are from! 💜💜💜
- Video 1: I still make chipped beef on toast (also known as $h17 on a shingle lmao) to this day. it was something my grandmother taught me but it is NOT COMMON and SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THAT. Yes, the sauce is bland because the salt and fat come from the already salty preserved beef (this beef carried over from war times). The sauce is basically butter, flour, pepper (you can make it better with onions and mushrooms if you want to go fancy) and the beef sliced.
- Video 2: we do have these! They are called sister cities afaik in the US. A lot of the times there is some small reason they are considered "friends" Someone immegrated, did some heroic act, donated things from one place to another etc. Sometimes you get something like "This city in X country donated materials to rebuild our city after X disaster" and its really nice to see. There is usually some kind of memorial plaque to go with it as a "gift" in remembrance in the city/town.
- Video 3: As a US citizen, the school system, like many other things in the US, is fucked up here but we arent stupid. Oregon is a state! its a great place (I might be biased because that is my home
I swear the guy from the firsr video finds the worst american things no one has heard of. His page is ridiculous.
Creamed chipped beef on toast is a very old fashioned thing that you may occasionally see in diners, but that's about it. It looks NOTHING like that weird pink slop the guy made, though. It's a white sauce with bits of dried beef in it. It originated as something filling that could be fed to military troops, as it's cheap, filling, and uses dried meat.
I've lived in Alaska, Oregon, California, New Mexico and South Carolina and have visited over 25 states I have never once actually seen a restaurant sell chipped beef on toast (called appropriately 'sh*t on a shingle'). I have heard of it, but it is a VERY vintage recipe. Like.. war times recipe. From WWII. What I can say is that, from what I know about the dish, that was very overcooked and needed to use a special kind of preserved meat. Namely 'dried chipped beef', which I have seen at the grocery store but have never actually needed or wanted to purchase. From pictures of the dish I recall larger, thin chunks of very salty meat and a white sauce. This looked like catfood. I do know that in the Navy on boats it is one of the things easy to keep on hand for long voyages and I think my Dad used to eat it during his service which is likely why we never made it at home. He still has a hard time stomaching certain types of roast beef and canned ravioli because he ate so much during the war. TL;DR I've been all over the US and never actually tried this or seen it at restaurants, and it's a vintage recipe likely eaten no more than savory jello. Usually reserved for hard times like the military and prison.
American here. Traditional English breakfast, English bread, and English tea are elite.
I never watch these kinds of videos cause it bugs me to see people put down or make fun of other people ... just for being from where theyre from. Laughing at someone or making negative comments for things like what we eat lol or how we do things where we're from... come one dude. I honestly think its so interesting to see what other people do and say and eat... from all over the world. And even if it doesnt look like something I would enjoy... so what! Everything's good to someone. Some of yall need to just touch grass and relax !!! lol
Im no better than you and youre no better than me. Someone give me a hug lol 🧡
As a Mexican in the US i always eats my frijoles (beans) with cheese 😅
I eat beans for breakfast and lunch and sometimes for dinner 😅
The issue isn’t the beans, per se. It’s a knee jerk reaction from seeing what looks like soupy Boston baked beans on white bread. It’s completely different from black or pinto beans.
As a born Brit living in America I’ve never seen some of these anywhere.
I live in California... Northern California specifically. Grew up in Southern California. Only other state I've been to is Minnesota and it's VERY different from CA. Anyway, I don't know about every state but the 2 I've been to, my experience is people are rude! Hence why I much prefer animals
A
The #1 place I've always wanted to go IS the UK!! No desire to go to Italy or France...but hope to someday get to the UK!😊❤🇬🇧
P.S....I think it'd be fun for you to do an entire video in your version of an American accent! 🇺🇲😂
Born and raised in the UK here, but 10 years ago I finally found my half-brother who lives in Oregon.
Been there a few times and absolutely LOVED it. Want to move over there to be with my wonderful family ❤
I love where I live (Oregon) but I adore British media. Comedy, drama, period dramas, police procedurals...the Brits have it!!! Also love Alall of the accents, architecture and cultural richness. I would LOVE to visit the UK and hope to in the not too distant future. There are parts of the United States that I really appreciate but it is on my bucket list to go to the UK and Scandinavia (esp Denmark). Also Australia and New Zealand! I can't stand the "who is better" jabs that you sometimes see or hear online. There is good to be found everywhere. ❤
Also... Not sure if that last guy talking about Big Ben was kidding but it was CRINGE listening to him. I think the architecture in Europe as a whole is breathtaking and Big Ben is gorgeous. Learn to read a clock, dude! My goodness I shudder to think people could judge all Americans by watching videos by people like this guy. Although maybe he was kidding? I hope so because MY GOODNESS... How incredibly rude to insult a famous landmark of another country! Incidentally, I have a 10-year-old named Ben and sometimes I call him Big Ben because he's super tall. Interesting bit about the fact that it's the bell named Big Ben and not the tower! Robert always teaches me something. 😊
As a Brit I’ve never understood people who criticise people from the US for not travelling abroad. Look at how diverse the landscape there is.
You want a snowy holiday? They got it. You want a mountain escape? They got it. You want beaches? They got it. You want a city break? They got it.
Plus it’s a MASSIVE country it takes a long time to get from one side to the other, let alone travel to somewhere like Europe. Why waste a couple of days travelling to another country when you have all types of vacation destinations in your own?
Omg about regional accents!!! My former coworker studied that in college and you could ask her about any accent or dialect and she'd give you a rundown of the origins and human migrations that lead to accent distributions. Absolutely fascinating
This is funny because the other day some random from the UK on a TOTALLY unrelated video started trying to argue with me that people from the UK are better. 😂. I didn’t take the bait I try not to argue with trolls but I had no idea this was a thing.
Robert going on about how there are “stupid people everywhere. Full stop. Don’t let anyone fool you. There’s just different kinds of stupid. But, they’re everywhere” just sent me 😂😂😂 LOVE you Robert! 💜🖤 I watch every single one of your videos. Both channels. Every. Single. One 🎉 🎊🎈
I love this!! I found it very interesting. I was born in Canada and moved to the U.S. when I was a kid. I hope to go to the UK some day. I think the differences should be celebrated!! That’s why it’s so nice to meet people from other countries. I live in Vegas now and I love that most people who live here are from someplace else!!❤❤
I love UK accents and the great British baking show. ✌🏻 That’s my nice thing to say ☺️ I love you ❤️
As a Texan, I would love to visit the UK 😭 if I could afford it, I would travel to so many places! The US is definitely big, which can make you feel kinda stuck sometimes..
From Canada... I love the food and nature in the UK! Today, I was thinking about and having cravings for UK toast. I also love the damp for my hair and skin. Annnd I love going to the US for the culture, it's fun!
I love America. I won’t live anywhere else. LOVE it. HOWEVER! London is my second favorite city behind my home of Chicago. I love the differences btwn the UK & USA. It’s fun! I also wish ppl would stop doing this. Enjoy different cultures! You can enjoy without the chest pounding.
Yalls accents are superb. I know that’s common. But coming from the south hearing proper accents (I know there’s “country” accents in all countries), because that’s something you just don’t hear around here. I love my drawl, but it’s nice. And I actually come from Tennessee, which has Bristol. Twinning 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
You’re right Robe’t. Lets keep it friendly
I think the UK is great. I would guess the vast majority of people that criticize other countries haven’t spent any decent amount of time there. They’re just repeating things they’ve heard and not actually fact checked themselves.
Oh and also, I’ve lived in the NE, SE, SW, NW, and central US, and I’ve never seen that first food (if you can even call it that) on toast. And I’m sure I’d remember something that looks like barf on bread.
Let me tell you something, I LOVE a full English breakfast and even more if it's a fry up in the Caribbean. You almost can't ask for anything else.
I think that first dish is a version of what we call Sh!+ on a Shingle, and while I know it exists, I've never had it and never seen it on a menu (I'm in the Bible Belt) I think it comes from war times. Tasting History has an episode about it.
I'm an American with roots in several very different parts of the country.... I have NEVER seen/heard of chipped beef here in the US 😂
I really liked the concept of this video. It would be great if you could do more like this! Maybe you and James could do some taste tests or blind taste tests on your twin channel. It’s always so funny when you both laugh at the same time. I end up laughing out loud at it!
The town I live in currently…Pendleton SC…has a sister city…Stornoway in Scotland. I have no idea why tho. I’m going to look it up cuz how fun! 🤗
I absolutely loved you talking about your accent and bottle of water! that was so great and I am going to watch it at least 2 more times lol
I am in the US and hate it when people drag on it. The US wouldn’t even be a country if it wasn’t for other countries coming here. We have things from all over. Louisiana has French influence. Florida has Spanish influence. The NE has Italian. Places in Texas and even the North has Polish. Everywhere is different. Where I live in Arkansas there is a huge Vietnamese community because of the refugees coming here from Vietnam in the 70s-80s. My mom was one of them. My dad’s parents immigrated to NYC from Poland and then moved to Pennsylvania. America is such a melting pot. Also our accents across the country is fairly diverse as well. Go up north of Arkansas to parts of Missouri into Nebraska and you get the midwestern accent. Go to Alabama and you get a deep thick southern accent. The NE has its own accent. Louisiana has an accent that has some French influence. There are lots of different accents.
How about we enjoy what's different about others? That's what makes them interesting.
I have never seen that meat on toast breakfast served or eaten anywhere in the USA and I have lived in the USA my whole life. Also, huevos rancheros is one of my favorites breakfast. It comes from Mexico, and is a tortilla with beans in it with eggs and salsa on top of them. I have seen that it is served in a lot of restaurants across the country and not just in the Southwest.
I’m never more patriotic than I am when someone from the UK on tiktok questions what we eat in the US…😂 I hate beans on toast but I love Jelly Babies.
Born & raised in the US, and when I went to the UK I was so excited about the food quality. Give me an ASDA Cheddar Ploughman's over Subway every day of the week.
Have heard of chipped beef but i dont think it looks anything like that first one... Never seen anything like that before.
I love the UK! I’ve never been there but when my sister was in 6th grade, her English class had an assignment where they had pen pals. We lived in a small town named Plymouth and she ended up pen paling a guy from Plymouth, England. My sister is 41 and I am 38. We all still keep in touch and over the many years we’ve known each other, we’ve sent countless care packages to each other (he ended up being a friend of mine as well and we’ve had many phone conversations). We’ve even gotten to know each others families over the years. One of the things we find interesting is that the UK doesn’t have any artificial grape flavoring so we’ve sent care packages with grape flavored candy. It’s been a lovely time getting to know him and have him in our lives 🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸
Yeah, the bread tastes better there, cause europe doesn't allow genetic modification of the wheat, also less allergic reactions to the good wheat y'all have.
I live in the US and I have never seen chipped beef on toast look like that. It's supposed to be a white gravy with the beef bits mixed in, not that pink slop.
I am from the US, I've had chipped beef on toast, but it was from my dad, who was in the military (I believe it was a cheap military dish). We called it SOS (sh*t on a shingle). It haven't had it in ages, and never really heard of many other people eating it!
I enjoy chipped beef on toast (in moderation) and that abomination he created is NOT chipped beef on toast.
Robert is the UKs national treasure. Currently binging the react vids 💙
Born and raised in the US, I’ve literally never seen that first meal!
Southern American. I've never seen the "chipped beef" deal. I agreed that it resembled baby vomit. 😅 I'm good on that. I feel like people from the UK have a wonderful sense of humor that tends to be more based on wit than much of the humor in the US, which relies a bit on crude humor and shock value. While there is a time and place for each, I feel the drier humor is more my speed.
Well put about the humor.
I'm 56 yrs old. I've never seen that 1st US. That's some BS. Has to be some small area in the US.
American here I’ve never seen chipped beef on toast. I’d eat the beef slices but not the way they cooked it. Also I’ve visited the UK many times and the curries, fish&chips, the ciders, prawn chips, and the Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding…. OMG!
Robert, here is my contribution to “peace on earth”: literally every American girl is in luuuuv with a British accent ❤ !
Before continuing with the show, I just want to say that Roberts fans are the best!!! Saying something nice to everyone as James suggested 😊
This UK education is super interesting! Would like to see more!
Wtf is this first item??? American here...never seen that. I'm scarred 🙈🤢🤮
My favorite thing about your country would be you & your brothers💜🖤
Your reaction to the Big Bend TikTok made me cry laughing 😂
I have never in my whole life seen that chipped beef dish. Chipped beef in Texas where I’m from is bbq on a hamburger bun. I eat those beans all the time but not usually on toast. My nice thing about British people is that I adore your voices. I love to listen to y’all talk.
