You have a strange idea of what American’s usually eat for breakfast. Pancakes and waffles are something for a special breakfast, perhaps on Sundays. I usually eat cold cereal with milk, a banana, and a couple cups of coffee.
I honestly think it varies with people. I know fellow Americans that love eating (frozen-made) waffles and such many mornings, but for me personally, yes, cereal most mornings and (griddle or restaurant-made) pancakes w/ sausage/starch like tater tots/hash browns occasionally.
I'm perfectly happy with a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. Favorite breakfast would be bacon and eggs with hash browns and wheat toast with jam. Yes, I'm American... and I know the difference between jam, preserves, and jelly. And jelly just doesn't cut it. LOL
SO TRUE! The only time I ever at at Denny’s was when the bars in Chicago closed at 2:00 am ( when I was in my 20s ) 37 years ago. And haven’t been back since.
There's a difference between polite and nice. Nice is genuine of doing or saying something. Polite is basically adulting and trying not stir or start problems.
Jelly and Jam: Jelly is a fruit spread that has no pieces of fruit left in it. It's usually translucent and colored by the fruit it's derived from. e.g. grape jelly, mint jelly, cranberry jelly etc. Jam is a spread with the pieces of fruit (berry) still in it which is typically seen in strawberry jam. cherry jam, blueberry jam, raspberry jam etc. Preserves are similar. It implies there is a higher fruit ratio than filler and sugar. Marmalade names the spread reserved for the one with bits of citrus peel left in it. Orange marmalade for instance... can't think of another, I don't rule it out. The "jelly" you refer too, we call Gelatin. But most Americans casually refer to it as "Jello", even though it is just the brand name for a premixed and flavored preparation. Most likely it's because that company called "Jello" made it popular in our culture. not saying it's correct, but that is how our version of English has evolved.
Exactly! I don't see what the problem is with calling jelly jelly and jam jam... I wonder if they just don't have jelly in the UK and so they don't understand why we we call something jelly that they perceive as jam?
I had an British neighbor once, an older gentleman and I had three very young children. We often annoyed him apparently. I learned that the more polite he was, the angrier he was with me.
To my knowledge... A cantina is a Spanish bar/pub A canteen is a circular water container, usually used by campers/hikers/soldiers. When I went to camp as a kid, though, the canteen was a little convenient store where you could buy snacks.
@@OoogaBoog My brother-in-law LOVES Waffle House. Unfortunately for him, the closest one is 413 miles away. Here in Pocatello, Idaho, you wind up at Denny's because it's the only sit-down restaurant that's open late. Late, in this instance, being 24/7. There may be some fast food places that serve late, but only via the drive-thru.
Pudding in the UK and the USA are different. Pudding in UK is eaten after a meal and can be used to describe both sweet and savory dishes. However, the term in everyday use usually means a dessert; in the United Kingdom, and is used as a synonym for a dessert course. In the USA, a pudding is usually a sweet milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often made with a cornstarch, gelatin or similar ingredient such as the Jell‑O brand line of products. It is not always eaten at meal time and because of the amount of sugar in the recipe, not the healthiest to eat. Bad for teeth and a lot of parents often provide them to their children as a snack to keep them going as between meals and send their children off with one in their lunch box.

And quiche! :) and overnight oats, and breakfast skillets... and sausage... and... I’m making myself hungry. LOL - but Thank you for saying it! We don’t all like sweets for breakfast. Although I do enjoy a homemade yogurt parfait.
I had shredded beef taquitos and a bean and cheese burrito yesterday. Only have waffles or pancakes a few times a year. Their beans and toast sound yummy.
@@marshallbrooks4982 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀🥣 me either girl.😃 edit: now you got me laughing so hard and farting and I didn't even eat beans🤣 Oh wait girls don't FART they pooh🤣
I'm American and I rarely eat pancakes and waffles for breakfast. I usually have oatmeal and fruit, flavored with honey and cinnamon. Bagels and cream cheese, sometimes with a slice of salmon, are really popular in the Northeast or just among the Jewish population in general. Today, my mom and I are going to make a Sunday brunch that will probably include eggs, bacon, fruit, and the aforementioned bagels and cream cheese.
Sara Makes Art Mmmmmmm love me some bagels n cream cheese with lox, capers, thinly sliced red onion 😛 and yes parents are Jewish so bagels are standard in their house.
I'm from North Carolina. A typical breakfast for me will be grits and veggie sausage and a cup of coffee. I rarely have pancakes or waffles. But some mornings, blueberry pancakes just call to me and I have to make them.
Concerning the first one, I think it's also rude when people suggest that you're genre, or cuisine of food, "isn't real food." Once someone asked me if I could cook. And I said "yeah, I know how to cook." And I explain to them the things I've cook before, Mexican food, and describing southern comfort food I've made. This person kinda gave me a weird look when I started to describe southern comfort food and said, "Oh, I don't consider that to be real food." I thought that was kinda rude. Not only was she insulting my cooking skills, but she insulted the cuisine of a whole culture!
Caelan Jolley yankees are from New England. I am from the Pacific Northwest. That lady was being rude. Same idea when my college music teachers thought that rock and popular music “wasn’t real music”. Snobbery is what it is.
Probably the most internationally known, and annoying, form of American passive-aggressive "manners", is the loud, indignant, arrogant, nasal "YOU'RE WELCOME", always loud, almost always out of the blue...as if I am suppised to reverse-thank you for something.
I'm German and was in London for a year and even I get asked if I've seen the queen and get told the food is bad. It's not, british food is just normal food, even though some things are a little too oily for my taste. I also agree with the comment about people being polite and watched the GBBO as well, love Mary Berry *.*
Americans have a variety of options for breakfast - not just sweet foods: omelets, toast, hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, eggs over-easy, oatmeal, cottage cheese, or just plain yogurt and fruit. However, I've never seen anyone in the States eat pudding for breakfast.
When we say pudding we mean dessert. Brits call all dessert "pudding". But yeah, I'm in Florida at the moment and I've been having both sweet and savoury!!
I learned something, too! Lol I was like who the hell eats pudding for breakfast? Not that it would be too crazy since we do kinda eat 'desert' for breakfast.
1: Literally no one in the states thinks all British people know the queen. 2: Having cuisine from all over the world doesn't mean you know how to do it right. 3: We prefer not to have gas all day long while at work. Breakfast in America is typically bacon/sausage, eggs, hash browns. 4: Nobody likes waiting in line, but in the US we wouldn't throw her to the front... we would throw the person cutting out of the line. 5: Tea is irrelevant. 6: Agreed. Brits can be incredibly rude. 7: Goodbye or later should suffice in any civilized culture. You can throw in Farewell if you're trying to be overly dramatic. 8: Who the hell is Mary Berry? Better yet, what the hell is Mary Berry? 9: Saying "I'm fine" when you are anything but fine is universal. 10: Joel is quite correct, moist is perfectly acceptable for baked goods but nothing else.
I think it's pretty normal, also everyone hates someone who cuts in line; there's a great comedic example of this on the american version of The Office on an episode called Pretzel Day.
brit and english essentially means the same thing? england is in britain after all. I won't say it out loud socially but online I often call myself a "brit"
well, as i live in Spain, i always say im English first and British second, kind of llike saying spanish first iberian second as a comparison, i just realised with time that "British" is merely a historical political construct that means nothing to me in reality, id rather have an English Passport as that is my country, ive never even been to Scotland.
I’ve been in London for a few months, and good food exists here, but it’s been weeks and I’m still offended by the “Mexican” food here 😂😂 idk what I was expecting, but that was NOT it! Pico isn’t just diced tomatoes!
I feel that you mischaracterize American breakfast. I'd say that far more breakfasts include savory items and protein like eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, grits (in the south), plus fruit and avocado. People do have sweets like pancakes and waffles with syrup however, most people don't have time to fix that during the workweek, not to mention that you want to fall asleep about 10am after a breakfast like that! Families might have a routine of making them on the weekends for their kids. I can't argue that there are sweet cereals but there are plenty that are healthy options too. And as for beans, do your baked beans not have any sugar in them? In the US baked beans always have brown sugar or maple syrup or some such as some of the flavoring. I enjoy the British tradition of having beans, and also grilled tomatoes, for breakfast. And I like black beans with a fried egg on top for breakfast. But tell me this, if you call dessert "pudding", what do you call the dessert that we Americans call pudding?
What we call pudding, they call custard. In a Doctor Who episode from about five years ago, the Doctor eats "fish fingers and custard," because he had a craving. He's eating fish sticks dipped into vanilla pudding. It's one of the funniest episodes ever!
Lia: next time you go to America, go down south (primarily Texas). We do breakfast tacos and burritos probably more than anything! Basically just a tortilla with eggs, bacon/sausage/chorizo, cheese, salsa, onions/peppers, etc.
Lia, don't sweat over breakfast in the US. I personally detest a sweet breakfast. There are sausages, bacon, ham, home fries, hash browns, eggs, and, yes, toast with butter. There's nothing like a good toasted bagel with cream cheese. I'd love to try a Full English.
My go to breakfast is bacon and eggs with hashbrowns and toast. Nothing sweet there. Noone eats pudding at breakfast. She obviously hasn't had an American breakfast. Jam has fruit in it, jelly doesn't they aren't the same.
I don’t know anyone that has pudding for breakfast over here in the US, Lia. That sounds awful. You don’t have to have pancakes or waffles, either. Granted, only a small amount of restaurants have vegan choices, though that’s improving, but sausage, ham, our type of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and the like are readily available.
chris maggiora, thanks for the clarification!! Still, dessert for breakfast sounds horrible. That’s why I’m not a fan of crepes, which are far sweeter than regular pancakes or waffles (but not the froufrou types of course).
Ithil Nin You’re welcome 😉Yeah, I’m not a fan of waffles or pancakes. I do like sweet crepes as a dessert sometimes, but not for breakfast certainly. Pancakes make me so sleepy that I never want them in the morning, unless I can nap the day away!
Americans can do breakfast without sweets. Sometimes we just choose not to. I don't understand why Americans wouldn't get the fine thing because a lot of us are that way too.
7:16 I remember when they first opened IKEA after easing lockdown rules a bit, and there were reports of 5 mile long queues, and the BBC decided to open up with, “Us Brits, doing what we do best, queueing.”
Remove the hash brown, waffles and pancake and replace it with toast thats an English breakfast. Replace the toast with a pastry and fruit then it becomes a continental breakfast.😁
But that’s usually weekend breakfast, week days we usually do bagels, toasts, cereal, oatmeal, and also depends on different ethnic groups, Asians would even have noodle soups for breakfast.
As a bona fide, life-long, never-been-anything-but American, I'm quite amused by all the comments from people saying "We don't have pudding for breakfast!" The failure to grasp that the definition of the word "pudding" is not being used the same way could be a whole video all by itself.
Pancakes, waffles, and muffins aren’t typical for an American breakfast. We have it sometimes on a weekend but we also have eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, American biscuits with sausage gravy, oatmeal, yogurt with granola and fruit, grits, smoothies (with spinach, kale, apple and other super foods), etc.....
A super popular breakfast, especially with morning workers in the East Coast, is Bacon Egg n Cheese on a Toasted Buttered Roll! Sometimes menued as BEC. The cheese is usually sliced American or Cheddar. The roll is usually a Kaiser or round roll, sometimes a club roll. People add whatever condiments....salt pepper mayo and even ketchup. It's so delicious!
If holiday were to be removed from existence that would be a good thing. Holiday is a specific date that occurs every year on that specific day or period of the week/month with a regular recurrence , not when you take time away from your job or school. What happens if you are "on holiday" and it also happens to be a holiday during that time frame? Is Christmas/New Years Day/Etc still called a holiday or is that called something else? Are you making your own holiday in a sense? Interesting stuff.
You can order eggs (prepared in a variety of ways) with toast, hash browns, bacon or sausage for breakfast anywhere in the US. Beans not likely though. I hate sweet breakfasts too.
Michelle Maine - Yes, we can order eggs prepared how we like them... but we may not get them. Heaven help you if you want them “over medium,” which, to my way of thinking is with whites fully cooked and yolks the consistency of really good apricot jam -not runny and definitely not hard. I’m probably the chef’s worst, high-maintenance nightmare. ...but we do tip well.😉
@@cathyberry9793 where do you live??? I live in Massachusetts in the US all the breakfast restaurants cook my eggs however I want. Over easy Over medium Fried hard Sunny side up Poached Any kind of omelets
Wait, Joel is offended when someone says British food is bad, but in the same video Lia totally slams breakfast in the US, saying it disgusting and “I hate it”.
Who here in the US eats pudding for breakfast? Sure there's the array of sugary breakfast cereals but go to any restaurant breakfast buffet and you'll see a wide variety of items normally eaten here, many not loaded with sugar. Baked beans are normally eaten with either hamburgers or hot dogs or some sort of barbequed meat (and no, we don't eat these for breakfast, lol)
Chris Freemesser I think “pudding” is sort of a General term for what we would call “desserts”. I think Lia is basically saying that we Americans have dessert for breakfast haha!
Chris Freemesser I was thinking the same thing....pudding for breakfast??? I’m from Southern CA and I’ve never seen that 😂 plus last time I ate at a Denny’s was probably 1990 when I was in high school, midnight Moons Over My Hammy 😎
Melanie Murillo Denny's is definitely not on our list of fav restaurants. I'd rather eat breakfast at McDonald's than to go there, and that's saying something!
Chris Freemesser I actually agree. I’ve had MANY McMuffins since the last time I’ve actually eaten at a Denny’s. Next time Joel comes here, he needs to use Yelp to find a killer breakfast place in the area he’s at and experience a REAL killer American breakfast. No chains.
Only people that don't work make breakfast, like in the movies I believe......my kids and I only have a big breakfast on Sundays if we are not going to church.....☺
Denny's serves eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast too. Just don't order pancakes. I rarely have waffles or pancakes. You can order what you like. Hence why they have menus.
I can't eat sugar in the morning either. It gives me a headache and I feel bad all day. I eat a couple of fried eggs (runny yolk) and some meat, like 3-4 slices of bacon or a leftover hamburger patty. But I can make some of the most moist, fluffy cakes and sweet bread that you've ever had in your life. My secret is to add lots of sour cream and/or plain yogurt as well as an extra egg and double the butter. And use whole milk whenever the recipe calls for water. And beat plenty of air into the batter right before you pour it into the baking pans but let it rest for a few minutes so the baking soda can do its thing before you put it in the oven. Even a cheap cake mix can turn out delicious this way.
So, to really grind the gears of a Brit, I should say," I can't believe I'm eating these beans for breakfast, what kind of malarkey is this? On the flipside, they are very moist". Lol
We either drink tea when we are sick or wish to drink green tea for health to combat or reduce the chances of getting Cancer. Tea is served very often in Chinese restaurants. We are mainly coffee drinkers.
“I don’t like tea”... “well, fruit tea I love” ??? Americans don’t drink tea, we are more of coffee ppl, like your tea chart looks like our coffee chart.
I get being annoyed by the first one. Asking Brits if they know they Queen is like asking Americans if they know the President. That would get annoying.
When you're talking about American people imitating your accent and how it grates on you, that's how I feel when people try to imitate a southern American accent. And it's usually other Americans who butcher it! It's like nails on a chalkboard. I've actually heard many Brits do a better job. (I thought about this while watching the movie Forever my Girl, which takes place in Louisiana where I'm from. I was shocked that the main guy is actually English. He does a great job! The other actors... not so much.)
BlankCanvas88 seriously. (I use this a lot because it’s the only example I can think of off the top of my head) but Tom Holland does a better American accent than me, a fellow American. But then again, any accent I attempt doesn’t sound right.
Yeah, non-country Americans tying to get the drawl right...just comes out sounding horrible. (Joel and Lia: When I said 'non-country I was referring to Americans who aren't from 'the country'...what you might call a 'southern accent' is actually common in some places that aren't in the south.) What I find hilarious is how people from, say, the northeast, think all southerners sound exactly the same. For those that think that...there are lots of different 'southern accents'. For instance, I can pick out someone from Georgia in a second just from hearing them talk. By the way, as to the comment about British doing better southern accents than Americans....were you aware that Keith Urban is actually Australian? When you hear him in Interviews his accent is VERY Australian.
Simon Cowell was VERY popular on American Idol because he "told it like it is". Americans are afraid to be so blunt. I think it was in the first season of AI that Paula Abdul said to him, "You can't talk to Americans that way!" and he said "yes, I can." LOL (I'm not disagreeing with what you said above)
American food is cheaper than most developed first-world countries because of the way our food is processed, and the scale at which we process it; for instance the farms we have for beef cattle, or our dairy farms, or even farmed fish. In all honesty, I try not to think about these things, because the conditions at many of these farms are... pretty disgusting. At best. But it allows us to mass-produce food, which in turn drives prices down. I work in a shopping mall with a Nando's in the food court. Haven't tried it yet, but I hear a lot of great things. I do have some of their Peri-Peri sauce, and once I get past the hint of lime in the first few bites, it's really good! (Not really a fan of lime, specifically lime sauces, but they get better the more you eat them, and I love spicy food so... win.) I had to look up what a Cheeky Nando's is, and feel like a moron because I know what "cheeky" means, and I know what "Nando's" is, and had I thought to just put the two together I'd know what it meant. lol apparently it's a term that's being used more in the US than before, but I don't think it really caught on (the article I read was from 2015). [Sidenote] I think it's the cutest thing that Lia can't say "breakfast". [End Sidenote] In the US we do see beans as more of an evening side dish. We have many different ways to do "brekk-fetts" however (lol). Fish and grits. Scrapple. Eggs. Cream of Wheat. Oatmeal with raisins. Bacon. Chicken and waffles (honestly, that one is a little weird to me, but in the south it's HUGELY popular). Sausage. Pancakes. Biscuits. Buttered toast, sometimes with jelly or jam (there is a difference lol). Cereal of all types, from whole wheat to Corn Flakes to, basically, candy with some nutrients in it poured into a bowl of milk (such as Captain Crunch or Froot Loops). Hashbrowns, fried potatoes, slices of fruit, apple sauce, omlettes with diced peppers and onions... we'll even do steak with our breakfast. Take any combination of those (cereal, oatmeal, and cream of wheat are usually eaten by themselves), wash it down with some orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, or milk, and you have breakfast! *Disclaimer* This is speaking from the perspective of a black man from Maryland, most of whom's family is from the southern east coast states. These are the things I grew up eating, not necessarily what every American has for breakfast. But I CAN say... we usually... don't have pudding lol As someone who appreciates organization, I agree with the queuing. In fact, what... Americans are you guys talking to? I mean, we are generally a bunch of assholes, but most of us are pretty good at standing in line lol who asked you about queuing? They probably don't know what a queue is. What people in this country are rushing the counter at McDonald's to get a cheeseburger? I hope I never meet them lol I feel like the tea thing is influenced by television, and movies. Americans are gullible in that way lol I don't know how "impolite" Brits are, but... I work at Starbucks, in a place that a lot of tourists visit, and I've learned that basically nobody is ACTUALLY polite. And that's a shame, because I try to be. Like... 1 out of every 9 people is genuinely polite. smh fake asses... We have lots of ways to say goodbye too. "Bye", "See ya", "Check ya later", "Peace", "One (or One love)", or my favorite for phone convo, "Yep." lol Didn't know who Mary Berry was until 10 seconds ago. Saying "I'm fine" in the US is pretty much the same in most cases, it's more like "I'm not okay, but I'll get over it". If I'm actually okay, I say "I'm good". I'm fine doesn't even feel right to say lol And moist is just a funny, funny word. I only like 2 things moist: my cake, and... ahem... I can't think of a proper way to put this... vagina. lol not like, "she's been working out for an hour" moist, but I'm sure you get the idea... Aaaaanywho, I've been leaving long comments on a lot of your videos today, and I'm sorry for being that guy. So I'm gonna call it a night! Thanks for the vid!
Chicken and waffles is DELICIOUS! Not something I'd ever have tried on my own, but a waitress from Georgia recommended it and I decided to give it a try. It was a win.
I had inlaws and freinds that owned dairies. They are far from dirty places. They are checked out regularly and must retain a level of cleanliness. Where have you been?
Shaken Horizon Nope, American-style biscuits are soft and fluffy. Yes, I know, biscuit comes from the French for “twice cooked,” but hear me out on this. Soft, fluffy biscuits with a nice, simple gravy made from flour, milk and pork sausage is an iconic farmer’s breakfast here. It’s good stuff.
American biscuits are a bit like their scones. I’m sure this must have come up before. The gravy is probably different too - thick and scary with bits in.
By now, I'm pretty sure you've found out that American breakfasts are not all sweet. In fact, not usually sweet like you're describing with syrup and waffles, that's more of a special occasion for most people here.
No way, I love Denny's! As far as getting a traditional fry-up here in the states, you may want to try a non-chain, independently owned restaurant and asking the wait staff if you can get beans for breakfast. It is true, we think of all types of beans as more of a lunch or dinner item.
Nothing against a good Full English brekkie but did not care for tomato slice and your bacon is a different cut from American. Nothing like a good bacon, eggs, toast and sausage breakfast with grits! Haven't been to Dennys in ages. Just too much food. I was usually full before I got to the pancakes. Just give me a kitchen sink omelet.
yeah l like them too. it's decent food for cheap prices. and yeah l agree mom and pop stores are the best. there is a greasy spoon near me that has the best burgers and chicken.
I live in New England and I often see baked beans on the menu in diners. I think it's a regional thing like grits in the South. I prefer eggs, home fries and bacon for breakfast.
So glad I found you two. Your vids crack me up 🤣 First, I have never heard of Nandos. I am going to Google to see pics of this chicken. Second, your breakfast comments were hilarious. You’re correct, Denny’s is so blah here in the US. But it is indeed cheap and they’re all over the place so quite easy to find. Not all breakfast dishes here are sweet. There’s plenty of fried eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, potatoes, omelettes, breakfast burritos, steak n eggs to go around. I’m rarely in the mood for a “sweet” breakfast....sometimes a couple pancakes on the side of a savory breakfast is yummy if you’re REALLY hungry. Ok and lastly, I shit when you guys mentioned the word MOIST because I have a serious aversion to this word too. It’s reminiscent of a “sore” or something disgusting like that....an STD or pussy abscess 🤮 but as Joel said, I will use the word only when describing an awesome piece of chocolate cake, or lemon cupcake, brownies, etc. Otherwise, it’s a sickening word.
There was never a thing about the word moist when I was growing up. It's just the younger generation that has made something out of it. Still haven't pinpointed what happened to cause the term to shift to cause people to have such disgusted reactions to it. Guess just another thing for millennials to get triggered by. Don't you have enough? :)
Kevin Dean I didn’t really chalk it up to a millennial thing?? I’m 43 so definitely not a millennial. I dunno how old Joel n Lia are, but I just found it funny and ironic that people so far away found the same word to be so disgusting. I thought it was MY weird quirk.
Brunch is definitely a thing on Sundays...In most states I've lived in! A very social gathering and can run the gamut from savory breakfast foods (eggs, meats, hash browns/potatoes, avocado/veggie dishes, etc.) to the stereotypically sweet items (french toast, waffles, pancakes). But never have I seen pudding offered!! I will say ever since I told my mom about beans on toast, ages ago I might add, she has been trying to get me to make it for breakfast one day.
I live in Chicago and I had no idea Nandos excited until my sister came to visit from Mexico City. She LOVES England and goes often and she was the one to introduce me to Nandos and my whole entire family and boyfriend are obsessed with it
I live in Kansas. I drink a fruit smoothie for breakfast and a granola bar. American breakfast is too unhealthy and not filling. Beans for breakfast is odd, but to each their own I suppose. I don't even like beans in general so I don't like tea in general, but I don't know anyone or have seen anyone drink hot tea. It's usually unsweetened iced tea instead of choosing pop or lemonade. We don't just go out with friends or family to drink tea with them. Americans also hate moist!!!! :)
Where exactly are you guys going in America? America is so diverse. I recommend going to local hot spots, and not large chains. Stereotypes exist for every place. Some because, well, there is some truth to it, but also exaggerated truths. It's sarcastic as well. A lot of these things on your list, we do (or hate or like) as well. They are kind of universal. I say, do whatever floats your boat. Try everything at least once. (Err almost everything) Immerse yourself in cultures other than your own, and be respectful even if its not something you fancy. When I watch some of these videos of yours, and you mention things that American people tend to ask you, it's always very strange to me. It's like the only Americans you've spoken to are Americans that are living under a rock somewhere. Are people really that uninformed? Okay okay that's rhetorical, of course there's extremely uninformed people out there because look who our president is, but it makes me very very sad to see so many people that can't put two and two together or understand things that should come quite naturally to anyone with a brain. Not to say that everyone should know everything, that's impossible, but if you don't understand something at least say "Hey I don't understand this, can you explain it to me?", rather than just being rude about it, or unaccepting because it's not what you're used to. Stereotype: Everyone in America is fat, and eats nothing but sugar. Truth: No, not every American is fat and survives on sugar. The Underlying Truth: Yes, there is a problem occurring, and yes obesity levels are higher than they were 40 or 60 or 100 years ago. However, you can find that happening, albeit, at different rates, all over the world. Stereotype: British food sucks Truth: British food does not suck Underlying Truth: Every place has food that is amazing, and food that sucks. It's also just a matter of personal taste. What one person loves, another hates. For me, Cilantro! Fuck that noise! I hate it, it tastes exactly like soap. (I have the gene, there is an olfactory sense gene that some ppl have and some don't, those that have it, taste Cilantro as something akin to getting soap in your mouth) Other people love Cilantro, and sprinkle that shit like fairy dust all over everything. Meh... What can you do? If you want to see crazy foods that look both amazing and deadly at the same time, I would love to see reaction videos to you two watching "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" from the Food Network channel here, or the show "Carnival Eats" on the Food Network, or anything that Alton Brown puts out. (Good Eats) or Anthony Bourdain (RIP). Triple D, as they call the first mentioned show, actually has a book of all the places they've been to and the things that they've tried, so when you go to those areas you can look up those places to try those foods, Which is kind of neat. I suggest that when you visit America, you always look out for where the locals are eating, even if it's a little hole-in-the-wall, it still could be pumping out some amazing food. (Denny's is a chain restaurant that is mostly used for quick, cheap food, or for the "Drunk 30 hour" after the bars or pubs close. They are usually open 24 hours, 7 days a week, so it's convenient, greasy food. So when you see a Denny's parking lot full at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning, you can ask what time is it? It's drunk 30 time.)
Isn't Nando's portuguese? I'm from Portugal and I'm moving to England in a few months and one thing almost everyone tells me is that there are a lot of amazing portuguese restaurants all over and they always mention Nando's... Anyways, this was a really fun video, keep it going guys ;)
You dont have to eat sweets for breakfast in America. The cuisine differs by state or region, but you will have a great pick of savory dishes to eat. As for guns, your chances of getting shot is the same as your chances of getting killed in a London terrorist attack. Dont worry, come over and you will love it here.
Come up to Detroit. Hot and sunny here. The biggest thing we need to do for our image here in the US is get the tourist away from our coastline. The coast's are the least American areas of the US.
The sugary breakfast stuff is mostly for kids or for people in a hurry. Granola bars, pop tarts, cereal, donuts, etc. Pancakes and waffles are definitely popular as well. For most people who are going to sit down and eat a hot breakfast it will probably be toast with butter, sausage, hash browns, and eggs. Most of the people at the diner I work at order a full breakfast like that and maybe add or share pancakes. Also popular are omelettes and biscuits and gravy. So for a full sit down breakfast it will be mostly savory. I have personally never understood the sugar for breakfast thing. Sets up the day for failure imo.
I grew up on the sweet carby breakfasts, but as an adult, I can't stand them either. Lia, you hit the nail on the head when you said that eating all that sugar first thing in the a.m. sets you up for craving it all day! Give me eggs, bacon and buttered toast. 👍
Really? I’m at Brit and I pay £2 for a nice pack of strawberries at M&S. When I went to the Us, I paid about $5 for an equally sized pack of strawberries.
I hope this comes across well, Kiwis and Canadians are pretty much instant friends, to many Brits. We love you guys (ofc perspective from my nearly 50 years), you are not forgotten at all, in fact we owe you our gratitude. Aussies have a harder time in UK I am pleased to tell you :)
I don't get why people say British food is bad at all!! You'd could eat anything you wanted here, all religions and 'isms' are catered for & the variety is massive! I reckon a lot of foreign people are used to huge portions and super unhealthy food which is why our food takes them by surprise 😂
It might have been true years ago, but when I visited last year, everything I had was very good(except the F&C stand at The Tower of London). Sometimes old stereotypes die hard.
whatislaura it's the original British food not the culturalized food. Original brittish food is very bland, not alot of flavor. The hotel I stayed at there served croissant sandwiches everyday which were quite good but got a little boring after so many days.
It was one of those myths in USA that persisted for years along with the idea, that London was always foggy, and everyone in Scotland lives in a castle. It's a hangover from when American servicemen based in the UK experienced food in Britiain during WWII while there was rationing. Food has noticeably improved over the past 70 years since. Admittedly, choice was limited as we're our tastes, but as Brits travelled more, the demand for authentic various national/World cuisines grew , noticeably with huge steps forward from 1980's onwards. And in more recent times, tourists from overseas haven't always chosen the Best places to eat or stick to 'tourist traps' (e.g. those awful Aberdeen Steak Houses') or hotels instead of asking us locals where they could experience great food and dining.
I love breakfast burritos, vegan version of the Mexican Huevos Rancheros (I use tofu), Miso soup with rice (because I lived in Japan and got used to eating that), fried potatoes and veggie sausages with fried tomatoes (discovered fried tomatoes in Britain). We save the pancakes or waffles with "bacon" (I call it "fakun") for the weekends.
Omg. I'm American, Just started talking to a British man and I came across you're channel and I love you guys , hilarious, everything is so true , thank you for the education 😘😘😘😘😘
Joel & Lia you two from the UK- United Kingdom are known for your culture in Europe for your finest of Teas, But that's not leaving out other nations like India or China that constantly drinks it.
Would love a video on making the “perfect” cup of tea in Britain. You two are so entertaining! I’m American and if I reply or hear “Yes, that’s fine” or “I’m fine” to a question, that’s definitely a passive aggressive signal that really “no, I’m actually very annoyed, so you better pick up on my annoyance and do something about it.” 😊 Love your videos, the best channel.
You guys should visit the New England area (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, etc.). Breakfast in a lot of diners here include baked beans. It's fairly common here. As a matter of fact, full New England breakfast is not that different from full English breakfast, with the exception of kippers and we have pork sausage rather than blood sausage.
Never been to the motherland, but I must still agree with you: you have good food. Why wouldn’t you, you have your pick of cuisines throughout the world. I have no idea how/why that stereotype began. Always been a stereotype. But I watch a lot of PBS (our version of BBC only more regional), and I know you folks are serious about your cuisine. But, beans for breakfast? Nope, not unless they are in a breakfast burrito. You need breakfast burritos. “Lining up” is not uniquely British. It’s worldwide. We drink a lot of tea, but it’s ICED tea.
My husband and I usually eat sugary cereal randomly when we're up late. Hardly ever for actually breakfast. We usually just have coffee or skip breakfast. Occasionally we'll go all out and do a big brunch. Eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns etc. But the kids usually have fruit for breakfast , or oatmeal, or boiled eggs (from day before because we're not morning people and aren't waking early to make anything 😅) occasionally theyll have sugary cereal, but usually they just eat it dry because they're little. And Denny's is good it's just more of a place you go eat at 3am when you're drunk than a place you plan to go to for dinner or something 😅😅 24hr breakfast ♥♥ lol

You have a strange idea of what American’s usually eat for breakfast. Pancakes and waffles are something for a special breakfast, perhaps on Sundays. I usually eat cold cereal with milk, a banana, and a couple cups of coffee.
Cold cereal?????? What is that I'm from England and I've never heard of that. Do you eat warm cereal??
I honestly think it varies with people. I know fellow Americans that love eating (frozen-made) waffles and such many mornings, but for me personally, yes, cereal most mornings and (griddle or restaurant-made) pancakes w/ sausage/starch like tater tots/hash browns occasionally.
Exactly!
I'm perfectly happy with a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. Favorite breakfast would be bacon and eggs with hash browns and wheat toast with jam. Yes, I'm American... and I know the difference between jam, preserves, and jelly. And jelly just doesn't cut it. LOL
Wr have potatoes and bacon and eggs. Toast with salted butter. Pancakes are special and no waffles. Sometimes we have oatmeal.
We do not choose Dennys, it chooses you. Usually this happens at 3 am when your drunken group faces judgement by the designated driver
SO TRUE! The only time I ever at at Denny’s was when the bars in Chicago closed at 2:00 am ( when I was in my 20s ) 37 years ago. And haven’t been back since.
Jams, jellies, and preserves are all different things in the USA.
Savory breakfast is just as normal in America as sweet, if not more.
@Mike Forti uhhh no they dont
savory foods have hardly any sugar the have nutrients
Gets offended by someone making fun of their cuisine then go on to criticize American breakfast 😂
Our breakfast is better.
There's a difference between polite and nice. Nice is genuine of doing or saying something. Polite is basically adulting and trying not stir or start problems.
Jelly and Jam: Jelly is a fruit spread that has no pieces of fruit left in it. It's usually translucent and colored by the fruit it's derived from. e.g. grape jelly, mint jelly, cranberry jelly etc.
Jam is a spread with the pieces of fruit (berry) still in it which is typically seen in strawberry jam. cherry jam, blueberry jam, raspberry jam etc. Preserves are similar. It implies there is a higher fruit ratio than filler and sugar.
Marmalade names the spread reserved for the one with bits of citrus peel left in it. Orange marmalade for instance... can't think of another, I don't rule it out.
The "jelly" you refer too, we call Gelatin. But most Americans casually refer to it as "Jello", even though it is just the brand name for a premixed and flavored preparation. Most likely it's because that company called "Jello" made it popular in our culture.
not saying it's correct, but that is how our version of English has evolved.
Finally! Thank you!
"You can't have any pudding till you eat you meat!"
Also Jelly uses gelatin in the processing and you will find pectin in jam or preserves. Preserves doesn't have to have pectin though.
Exactly! I don't see what the problem is with calling jelly jelly and jam jam... I wonder if they just don't have jelly in the UK and so they don't understand why we we call something jelly that they perceive as jam?
Thank you for writing this paragraph so i dont have to
I had an British neighbor once, an older gentleman and I had three very young children. We often annoyed him apparently. I learned that the more polite he was, the angrier he was with me.
Random fact (3:31): In America, we call a canteen a cafeteria. We use "canteen" to describe the bottle that soldiers or campers keep their water in.
BlankCanvas88 it is an older term from the forties.
Thank you for clearing this up, I was so confused confused when they said canteen
William Lucas ...isn't that cantina, Or am I thinking of something else?
The cafeteria in veterans' hospitals are called canteens also.
To my knowledge...
A cantina is a Spanish bar/pub
A canteen is a circular water container, usually used by campers/hikers/soldiers. When I went to camp as a kid, though, the canteen was a little convenient store where you could buy snacks.

Kinda like Waffle House since nothing else is open.
@@OoogaBoog My brother-in-law LOVES Waffle House. Unfortunately for him, the closest one is 413 miles away.
Here in Pocatello, Idaho, you wind up at Denny's because it's the only sit-down restaurant that's open late. Late, in this instance, being 24/7. There may be some fast food places that serve late, but only via the drive-thru.
Usually after leaving the club.
Have a pint at 2am & see where you end up.

I do not know one person that eats pudding for breakfast.
Weakley Weirdness pudding = dessert
Pudding in the UK and the USA are different. Pudding in UK is eaten after a meal and can be used to describe both sweet and savory dishes. However, the term in everyday use usually means a dessert; in the United Kingdom, and is used as a synonym for a dessert course. In the USA, a pudding is usually a sweet milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often made with a cornstarch, gelatin or similar ingredient such as the Jell‑O brand line of products. It is not always eaten at meal time and because of the amount of sugar in the recipe, not the healthiest to eat. Bad for teeth and a lot of parents often provide them to their children as a snack to keep them going as between meals and send their children off with one in their lunch box.

Wth is Mary Barry?
Beans are great for breakfast, but cold pizza is the best!
Weakley Weirdness
Oatmeal, yogurt, pudding & craisins--awesome with a little milk
Many Americans don't know that "Pudding" in UK means dessert. We think it means Blanc Mange or Tapioca pudding
Try our omelets. Not everyone eats sweets for breakfast.
And quiche! :) and overnight oats, and breakfast skillets... and sausage... and... I’m making myself hungry. LOL - but Thank you for saying it! We don’t all like sweets for breakfast. Although I do enjoy a homemade yogurt parfait.
I love cheese omelettes! And I am from United States.
We have omelets too ya know
Can you believe they said beans for breakfast lmao
I had shredded beef taquitos and a bean and cheese burrito yesterday. Only have waffles or pancakes a few times a year. Their beans and toast sound yummy.

I'm American and I rarely eat pancakes and waffles for breakfast. I usually have oatmeal and fruit, flavored with honey and cinnamon. Bagels and cream cheese, sometimes with a slice of salmon, are really popular in the Northeast or just among the Jewish population in general. Today, my mom and I are going to make a Sunday brunch that will probably include eggs, bacon, fruit, and the aforementioned bagels and cream cheese.
Sara Makes Art Mmmmmmm love me some bagels n cream cheese with lox, capers, thinly sliced red onion 😛 and yes parents are Jewish so bagels are standard in their house.
Sara Makes Art my mouth is watering over this comment.
I'm from North Carolina. A typical breakfast for me will be grits and veggie sausage and a cup of coffee. I rarely have pancakes or waffles. But some mornings, blueberry pancakes just call to me and I have to make them.
Sara Makes Art omg I want salmon now .. I agree with you Sara I don’t like sweets
Rayne Rain I actually love sweets, but I just prefer to eat a healthier breakfast. Diabetes runs in my family, so I have to watch my sugar.
Concerning the first one, I think it's also rude when people suggest that you're genre, or cuisine of food, "isn't real food." Once someone asked me if I could cook. And I said "yeah, I know how to cook." And I explain to them the things I've cook before, Mexican food, and describing southern comfort food I've made. This person kinda gave me a weird look when I started to describe southern comfort food and said, "Oh, I don't consider that to be real food." I thought that was kinda rude. Not only was she insulting my cooking skills, but she insulted the cuisine of a whole culture!
Valerie Linares the South has the best food in the world. Fried steak
Caelan Jolley yankees are from New England. I am from the Pacific Northwest. That lady was being rude. Same idea when my college music teachers thought that rock and popular music “wasn’t real music”. Snobbery is what it is.
“not real food”!Those are fighting words in Louisiana!
Yup, that’s VERY rude!
The rudeness you addressed is called passive aggression. We have turned it into an art form in the southern United States.
Very true
Well say “bless your heart” as we stab you in the back
Yeah it’s just part of the culture
😁
Probably the most internationally known, and annoying, form of American passive-aggressive "manners", is the loud, indignant, arrogant, nasal "YOU'RE WELCOME", always loud, almost always out of the blue...as if I am suppised to reverse-thank you for something.
I'm German and was in London for a year and even I get asked if I've seen the queen and get told the food is bad. It's not, british food is just normal food, even though some things are a little too oily for my taste. I also agree with the comment about people being polite and watched the GBBO as well, love Mary Berry *.*
Dennys is the place you go to when your drunk at 3am.🤣
Unless you are in the Southern United States and then Waffle House is that place.
Yeah. It's not the place you go to, it's the place you end up at.
Or pregnant and craving their Nachos
I thought that was Waffle house :)
@@graefe827 oh come on. We have both.
Denny's is where you go when it's super late after the club and been drinking all night.
You don’t go to Denny’s, you end up at Denny’s 😂
HAHA Very well said. Usually you end up there when your intoxicated.
Really can't argue with that one. Nobody set out to go there, you just...arrive.
Americans have a variety of options for breakfast - not just sweet foods: omelets, toast, hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, eggs over-easy, oatmeal, cottage cheese, or just plain yogurt and fruit. However, I've never seen anyone in the States eat pudding for breakfast.
When we say pudding we mean dessert. Brits call all dessert "pudding". But yeah, I'm in Florida at the moment and I've been having both sweet and savoury!!
Ah, okay. So a "pudding" is like a synonym for all desserts! I didn't know that. Fascinating. :-)
I learned something, too! Lol I was like who the hell eats pudding for breakfast? Not that it would be too crazy since we do kinda eat 'desert' for breakfast.
But not usually. To be honest.
1: Literally no one in the states thinks all British people know the queen.
2: Having cuisine from all over the world doesn't mean you know how to do it right.
3: We prefer not to have gas all day long while at work. Breakfast in America is typically bacon/sausage, eggs, hash browns.
4: Nobody likes waiting in line, but in the US we wouldn't throw her to the front... we would throw the person cutting out of the line.
5: Tea is irrelevant.
6: Agreed. Brits can be incredibly rude.
7: Goodbye or later should suffice in any civilized culture. You can throw in Farewell if you're trying to be overly dramatic.
8: Who the hell is Mary Berry? Better yet, what the hell is Mary Berry?
9: Saying "I'm fine" when you are anything but fine is universal.
10: Joel is quite correct, moist is perfectly acceptable for baked goods but nothing else.
Tea is not irrelevant in the South, but is always sweet tea, also just never drink non sweet as it is trash
Its NOT holiday in the US!! We call it a VACATION!!
🇺🇸 Right. Holiday for us would be Christmas or thanksgiving! I love this channel since I'm such a anglophile. I think that's how you spell it. 🤔🇬🇧
Do Americans question standing in line? Everywhere you go you stand in lines. Isn’t that the common practice?
(MI✋🏼)
I think it's pretty normal, also everyone hates someone who cuts in line; there's a great comedic example of this on the american version of The Office on an episode called Pretzel Day.
Ian David that’s just called the office, since it’s the better version.
Im English, im from England. i never call my self a “brit”. Whatever happened to being English.
brit and english essentially means the same thing? england is in britain after all. I won't say it out loud socially but online I often call myself a "brit"
Brexit will make England an independent state again - without Scotland and Northern Ireland.
well, as i live in Spain, i always say im English first and British second, kind of llike saying spanish first iberian second as a comparison, i just realised with time that "British" is merely a historical political construct that means nothing to me in reality, id rather have an English Passport as that is my country, ive never even been to Scotland.
Piper charms a englishman calling himself a ‘brit’ is like a guy from the usa calling themself an ‘earthling’
It was explained that the Scots are Brits but not English. Apparently they loathe being called English.
Nope. There's a great different between jam & jelly
@B real That's the way my hubby describes his eating as a child--his family was quite poor.
I disgree. Jam has the actual fruit as the base. Jelly does not.
@B real your coo coo for coco puff...🤪🤪🤪
But I like it🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband loves to tell a really dirty joke about the difference between jelly and jam
I’ve been in London for a few months, and good food exists here, but it’s been weeks and I’m still offended by the “Mexican” food here 😂😂 idk what I was expecting, but that was NOT it! Pico isn’t just diced tomatoes!
Savannah don't worry many Americans think real pico is just fresh salsa!
Real Mexicans laugh at what Americans think is Mexican.
William Lucas - also true 😂😂 I’m from Texas, but when I went in Philadelphia the Mexican food was similarly questionable to London 😂
We’re just spoiled here in Texas. Though you can find much better European food in general in the UK than the US. It’s all about proximity!
Well we don’t have the big of a “Mexican “ community here compared to the US.
"I don't like tea"

I feel that you mischaracterize American breakfast. I'd say that far more breakfasts include savory items and protein like eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, grits (in the south), plus fruit and avocado. People do have sweets like pancakes and waffles with syrup however, most people don't have time to fix that during the workweek, not to mention that you want to fall asleep about 10am after a breakfast like that! Families might have a routine of making them on the weekends for their kids. I can't argue that there are sweet cereals but there are plenty that are healthy options too. And as for beans, do your baked beans not have any sugar in them? In the US baked beans always have brown sugar or maple syrup or some such as some of the flavoring. I enjoy the British tradition of having beans, and also grilled tomatoes, for breakfast. And I like black beans with a fried egg on top for breakfast. But tell me this, if you call dessert "pudding", what do you call the dessert that we Americans call pudding?
l don't think so. a lot of americans do eat pancakes and waffles and shit. every american diner you walk in will serve pancakes and waffles.
What we call pudding, they call custard. In a Doctor Who episode from about five years ago, the Doctor eats "fish fingers and custard," because he had a craving. He's eating fish sticks dipped into vanilla pudding. It's one of the funniest episodes ever!
Heather Dewey Pettet Yeah, that was a lot of fun. And disgusting!
Cathy Miller avocado is a fruit too.
diners offer hundreds of offerings
Lia: next time you go to America, go down south (primarily Texas). We do breakfast tacos and burritos probably more than anything! Basically just a tortilla with eggs, bacon/sausage/chorizo, cheese, salsa, onions/peppers, etc.
Lia, don't sweat over breakfast in the US. I personally detest a sweet breakfast. There are sausages, bacon, ham, home fries, hash browns, eggs, and, yes, toast with butter. There's nothing like a good toasted bagel with cream cheese. I'd love to try a Full English.
My go to breakfast is bacon and eggs with hashbrowns and toast. Nothing sweet there. Noone eats pudding at breakfast. She obviously hasn't had an American breakfast. Jam has fruit in it, jelly doesn't they aren't the same.
What the heck is a sweet breakfast.?
I don’t know anyone that has pudding for breakfast over here in the US, Lia. That sounds awful. You don’t have to have pancakes or waffles, either. Granted, only a small amount of restaurants have vegan choices, though that’s improving, but sausage, ham, our type of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and the like are readily available.
Ithil Nin “Pudding” is British for dessert. Not actual pudding.
chris maggiora, thanks for the clarification!! Still, dessert for breakfast sounds horrible. That’s why I’m not a fan of crepes, which are far sweeter than regular pancakes or waffles (but not the froufrou types of course).
Ithil Nin You’re welcome 😉Yeah, I’m not a fan of waffles or pancakes. I do like sweet crepes as a dessert sometimes, but not for breakfast certainly. Pancakes make me so sleepy that I never want them in the morning, unless I can nap the day away!
Americans can do breakfast without sweets. Sometimes we just choose not to. I don't understand why Americans wouldn't get the fine thing because a lot of us are that way too.
Nandos is a South African company serving Portuguese inspired food mainly Peri peri chicken, I wouldnt say it British.
Yeah, neither would anyone else?
Peri peri is Brazilian not portuguese,
But it is very popular in the UK, I think a third of their total stores worldwide are in the UK.
So what if it's not British it's a restaurant in Britain we don't need the fancy facts about where peri peri came from take a chill mate 😂😜
It’s definitely part of English culture 😊😊😊
I'm confused about your references to pudding for breakfast. What do you mean by pudding? I've never had pudding for breakfast.
Andrea Studebaker the Brits call desserts pudding. She is saying that most of our breakfast are so sweet they are basically desserts.
Thanks, Jeremy! Now I understand. Seems odd to call every dessert pudding, but we do have way too many sweet things for breakfast.
wondered IF she got pudding confused with yogurt as i never heard of anyone eating any type of pudding for BFK>????
Andrea Studebaker Dessert, sweets.

Pudding for breakfast is not American. Never heard of that.
7:16 I remember when they first opened IKEA after easing lockdown rules a bit, and there were reports of 5 mile long queues, and the BBC decided to open up with, “Us Brits, doing what we do best, queueing.”
Thats just nuts.
Breakfast in America is eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast. Maybe pancakes or waffles.
Remove the hash brown, waffles and pancake and replace it with toast thats an English breakfast. Replace the toast with a pastry and fruit then it becomes a continental breakfast.😁
Very similar to the English breakfast then. 👍
But that’s usually weekend breakfast, week days we usually do bagels, toasts, cereal, oatmeal, and also depends on different ethnic groups, Asians would even have noodle soups for breakfast.
What's a hash brown again..
@@viksie3791 Grated potatoes that are fried until crispy.
As a bona fide, life-long, never-been-anything-but American, I'm quite amused by all the comments from people saying "We don't have pudding for breakfast!" The failure to grasp that the definition of the word "pudding" is not being used the same way could be a whole video all by itself.
The difference between jam and jelly . Jam is made with fruit pulp or crushed fruit. Jelly is made from the fruit juice only.
We have hash browns and buttered toast for breakfast in America! I am not a sweets fan for breakfast. I do love my biscuits and gravy. :)
For clarification, biscut in America is a small flakey/crumbly bread, and not a sweet item.
Explain an American biscuit is it.a cookie or ....
Shaken Horizon It isn’t a sweet. It’s a round little bread usually fluffy and made with buttermilk. Savory if you would.
Minor League Gaming biscuits are a softer version of scones in the US. Fill'em up with butter and jam or some Virginia ham!
I prefer spicy for breakfast in the USA
Pancakes, waffles, and muffins aren’t typical for an American breakfast. We have it sometimes on a weekend but we also have eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, American biscuits with sausage gravy, oatmeal, yogurt with granola and fruit, grits, smoothies (with spinach, kale, apple and other super foods), etc.....
Eww gravy and scones that’s disgusting
U have gravy with sausage and mash or roast dinner
A super popular breakfast, especially with morning workers in the East Coast, is Bacon Egg n Cheese on a Toasted Buttered Roll! Sometimes menued as BEC. The cheese is usually sliced American or Cheddar. The roll is usually a Kaiser or round roll, sometimes a club roll. People add whatever condiments....salt pepper mayo and even ketchup. It's so delicious!
Chorizo & eggs, Linguisa scrambles, ham steak, NY steak & eggs, fried potatoes, Denver ommlet...fritadas. Shit, sky's the limit for savory in the U.S.
I really dislike yogurt.
If holiday were to be removed from existence that would be a good thing. Holiday is a specific date that occurs every year on that specific day or period of the week/month with a regular recurrence , not when you take time away from your job or school. What happens if you are "on holiday" and it also happens to be a holiday during that time frame? Is Christmas/New Years Day/Etc still called a holiday or is that called something else? Are you making your own holiday in a sense? Interesting stuff.

You can order eggs (prepared in a variety of ways) with toast, hash browns, bacon or sausage for breakfast anywhere in the US. Beans not likely though. I hate sweet breakfasts too.
Michelle Maine - Yes, we can order eggs prepared how we like them... but we may not get them. Heaven help you if you want them “over medium,” which, to my way of thinking is with whites fully cooked and yolks the consistency of really good apricot jam -not runny and definitely not hard. I’m probably the chef’s worst, high-maintenance nightmare.

Wait, Joel is offended when someone says British food is bad, but in the same video Lia totally slams breakfast in the US, saying it disgusting and “I hate it”.
Who here in the US eats pudding for breakfast? Sure there's the array of sugary breakfast cereals but go to any restaurant breakfast buffet and you'll see a wide variety of items normally eaten here, many not loaded with sugar.
Baked beans are normally eaten with either hamburgers or hot dogs or some sort of barbequed meat (and no, we don't eat these for breakfast, lol)
Chris Freemesser I think “pudding” is sort of a General term for what we would call “desserts”. I think Lia is basically saying that we Americans have dessert for breakfast haha!
Chris Freemesser I was thinking the same thing....pudding for breakfast??? I’m from Southern CA and I’ve never seen that 😂 plus last time I ate at a Denny’s was probably 1990 when I was in high school, midnight Moons Over My Hammy 😎
Melanie Murillo Denny's is definitely not on our list of fav restaurants. I'd rather eat breakfast at McDonald's than to go there, and that's saying something!
Chris Freemesser I actually agree. I’ve had MANY McMuffins since the last time I’ve actually eaten at a Denny’s. Next time Joel comes here, he needs to use Yelp to find a killer breakfast place in the area he’s at and experience a REAL killer American breakfast. No chains.
You should all check out breakfastatvaleries.net . All you need to do is come to the Pacific Northwest!
Only people that don't work make breakfast, like in the movies I believe......my kids and I only have a big breakfast on Sundays if we are not going to church.....☺
Denny's serves eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast too. Just don't order pancakes. I rarely have waffles or pancakes. You can order what you like. Hence why they have menus.
What I was thinking got a stack of pancakes at dennys musta ordered pancakes read the menu is tons of non sweet stuff
I can't eat sugar in the morning either. It gives me a headache and I feel bad all day. I eat a couple of fried eggs (runny yolk) and some meat, like 3-4 slices of bacon or a leftover hamburger patty. But I can make some of the most moist, fluffy cakes and sweet bread that you've ever had in your life. My secret is to add lots of sour cream and/or plain yogurt as well as an extra egg and double the butter. And use whole milk whenever the recipe calls for water. And beat plenty of air into the batter right before you pour it into the baking pans but let it rest for a few minutes so the baking soda can do its thing before you put it in the oven. Even a cheap cake mix can turn out delicious this way.
So, to really grind the gears of a Brit, I should say," I can't believe I'm eating these beans for breakfast, what kind of malarkey is this? On the flipside, they are very moist". Lol
I had eight teas today I’m British and I Fricking love tea
Most British love tea.
Saying "Fricking"? You're no longer English, your licence is irreversibly revoked. Shame on you using yankisms.
We either drink tea when we are sick or wish to drink green tea for health to combat or reduce the chances of getting Cancer. Tea is served very often in Chinese restaurants. We are mainly coffee drinkers.
I got started on green tea because black tea has too much caffeine. Then I discovered that green tea also has caffeine, just not quite as much.
Love your shirts! "MIAMI" and "LIMONADA DE FRUTAS". Great channel! 😃
Janette Hernandez i told them the same thing. It honors my hispanic and Miami roots all in one video. Made me happy haha
Florida Girl. They are representing! 😂
Janette Hernandez i just realized that his shirt is for Miami university. The Miami up in Ohio lol
Florida Girl. 😜
Most Americans hate the word moist too
“I don’t like tea”... “well, fruit tea I love” ??? Americans don’t drink tea, we are more of coffee ppl, like your tea chart looks like our coffee chart.
My parents love tea
I get being annoyed by the first one. Asking Brits if they know they Queen is like asking Americans if they know the President. That would get annoying.
Robert Phillips so True!!
Robert Phillips Yes very true I’d be annoyed if ppl asked me if I knew the president
When you're talking about American people imitating your accent and how it grates on you, that's how I feel when people try to imitate a southern American accent. And it's usually other Americans who butcher it! It's like nails on a chalkboard. I've actually heard many Brits do a better job. (I thought about this while watching the movie Forever my Girl, which takes place in Louisiana where I'm from. I was shocked that the main guy is actually English. He does a great job! The other actors... not so much.)
BlankCanvas88 yea northerners usually butcher the shit out of a southern accent. It’s annoying
Yikes I'm a Northerner and we purposely over-dramatize the accent sometimes.
Usually we'd butcher other accents too so.. :/
BlankCanvas88 seriously. (I use this a lot because it’s the only example I can think of off the top of my head) but Tom Holland does a better American accent than me, a fellow American. But then again, any accent I attempt doesn’t sound right.
Yeah, non-country Americans tying to get the drawl right...just comes out sounding horrible. (Joel and Lia: When I said 'non-country I was referring to Americans who aren't from 'the country'...what you might call a 'southern accent' is actually common in some places that aren't in the south.)
What I find hilarious is how people from, say, the northeast, think all southerners sound exactly the same. For those that think that...there are lots of different 'southern accents'. For instance, I can pick out someone from Georgia in a second just from hearing them talk.
By the way, as to the comment about British doing better southern accents than Americans....were you aware that Keith Urban is actually Australian? When you hear him in Interviews his accent is VERY Australian.
Cavinaar Yeah it was always hard to wrap my head around his being Australian!
Whoever said British Ppl are so nice must've never seen or heard Simon Cowell (still love him);)
Simon Cowell was VERY popular on American Idol because he "told it like it is". Americans are afraid to be so blunt. I think it was in the first season of AI that Paula Abdul said to him, "You can't talk to Americans that way!" and he said "yes, I can." LOL (I'm not disagreeing with what you said above)
And Gordon Ramsey
American food is cheaper than most developed first-world countries because of the way our food is processed, and the scale at which we process it; for instance the farms we have for beef cattle, or our dairy farms, or even farmed fish.
In all honesty, I try not to think about these things, because the conditions at many of these farms are... pretty disgusting. At best. But it allows us to mass-produce food, which in turn drives prices down.
I work in a shopping mall with a Nando's in the food court. Haven't tried it yet, but I hear a lot of great things. I do have some of their Peri-Peri sauce, and once I get past the hint of lime in the first few bites, it's really good! (Not really a fan of lime, specifically lime sauces, but they get better the more you eat them, and I love spicy food so... win.)
I had to look up what a Cheeky Nando's is, and feel like a moron because I know what "cheeky" means, and I know what "Nando's" is, and had I thought to just put the two together I'd know what it meant. lol apparently it's a term that's being used more in the US than before, but I don't think it really caught on (the article I read was from 2015).
[Sidenote] I think it's the cutest thing that Lia can't say "breakfast". [End Sidenote]
In the US we do see beans as more of an evening side dish. We have many different ways to do "brekk-fetts" however (lol). Fish and grits. Scrapple. Eggs. Cream of Wheat. Oatmeal with raisins. Bacon. Chicken and waffles (honestly, that one is a little weird to me, but in the south it's HUGELY popular). Sausage. Pancakes. Biscuits. Buttered toast, sometimes with jelly or jam (there is a difference lol). Cereal of all types, from whole wheat to Corn Flakes to, basically, candy with some nutrients in it poured into a bowl of milk (such as Captain Crunch or Froot Loops). Hashbrowns, fried potatoes, slices of fruit, apple sauce, omlettes with diced peppers and onions... we'll even do steak with our breakfast. Take any combination of those (cereal, oatmeal, and cream of wheat are usually eaten by themselves), wash it down with some orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, or milk, and you have breakfast!
*Disclaimer* This is speaking from the perspective of a black man from Maryland, most of whom's family is from the southern east coast states. These are the things I grew up eating, not necessarily what every American has for breakfast. But I CAN say... we usually... don't have pudding lol
As someone who appreciates organization, I agree with the queuing. In fact, what... Americans are you guys talking to? I mean, we are generally a bunch of assholes, but most of us are pretty good at standing in line lol who asked you about queuing? They probably don't know what a queue is. What people in this country are rushing the counter at McDonald's to get a cheeseburger? I hope I never meet them lol
I feel like the tea thing is influenced by television, and movies. Americans are gullible in that way lol
I don't know how "impolite" Brits are, but... I work at Starbucks, in a place that a lot of tourists visit, and I've learned that basically nobody is ACTUALLY polite. And that's a shame, because I try to be. Like... 1 out of every 9 people is genuinely polite. smh fake asses...
We have lots of ways to say goodbye too. "Bye", "See ya", "Check ya later", "Peace", "One (or One love)", or my favorite for phone convo, "Yep." lol
Didn't know who Mary Berry was until 10 seconds ago.
Saying "I'm fine" in the US is pretty much the same in most cases, it's more like "I'm not okay, but I'll get over it". If I'm actually okay, I say "I'm good". I'm fine doesn't even feel right to say lol
And moist is just a funny, funny word. I only like 2 things moist: my cake, and... ahem... I can't think of a proper way to put this... vagina. lol not like, "she's been working out for an hour" moist, but I'm sure you get the idea...
Aaaaanywho, I've been leaving long comments on a lot of your videos today, and I'm sorry for being that guy. So I'm gonna call it a night!
Thanks for the vid!
Chicken and waffles is DELICIOUS! Not something I'd ever have tried on my own, but a waitress from Georgia recommended it and I decided to give it a try. It was a win.
I'm from Tennessee, I've never heard of chicken and waffles but i do like chicken lol
I had inlaws and freinds that owned dairies. They are far from dirty places. They are checked out regularly and must retain a level of cleanliness. Where have you been?
There is a major difference between jelly and jam. Jam has pieces of fruit in it jam doesn't .
@@garycamara9955 "Where have you been" I'm... pretty sure I mentioned I'm from Maryland.
Also, I'm from 4 years removed from this comment lol
If you like a plain, savory breakfast, Lia, I recommend trying biscuits and gravy when you visit the States next.
Daniel Reasor by biscuit do you mean cookie?
Shaken Horizon Nope, American-style biscuits are soft and fluffy. Yes, I know, biscuit comes from the French for “twice cooked,” but hear me out on this. Soft, fluffy biscuits with a nice, simple gravy made from flour, milk and pork sausage is an iconic farmer’s breakfast here. It’s good stuff.
American biscuits are a bit like their scones. I’m sure this must have come up before. The gravy is probably different too - thick and scary with bits in.
And country ham if you get to the South 😀 it'll make you thirsty all day but we are pretty proud of that one.
Karl Morton IV we don't have gravy with scones they are sweet and we eat them with clotted cream and jam
By now, I'm pretty sure you've found out that American breakfasts are not all sweet. In fact, not usually sweet like you're describing with syrup and waffles, that's more of a special occasion for most people here.
every one should respect the queue
mykroyd Agreed! Your comment should have 100 thumbs up!
mykroyd yes they should, queues are very annoying xD
No way, I love Denny's! As far as getting a traditional fry-up here in the states, you may want to try a non-chain, independently owned restaurant and asking the wait staff if you can get beans for breakfast. It is true, we think of all types of beans as more of a lunch or dinner item.
When American people get triggered 😂😂
Shaken Horizon 😁😁
Nothing against a good Full English brekkie but did not care for tomato slice and your bacon is a different cut from American. Nothing like a good bacon, eggs, toast and sausage breakfast with grits! Haven't been to Dennys in ages. Just too much food. I was usually full before I got to the pancakes. Just give me a kitchen sink omelet.
yeah l like them too. it's decent food for cheap prices.
and yeah l agree mom and pop stores are the best. there is a greasy spoon near me that has the best burgers and chicken.
I live in New England and I often see baked beans on the menu in diners. I think it's a regional thing like grits in the South. I prefer eggs, home fries and bacon for breakfast.
In America we have both jam and jelly
Jelly is a spread with no visible fruit in it
Jam is like preserves and has chuncks of fruit in it
So glad I found you two. Your vids crack me up 🤣
First, I have never heard of Nandos. I am going to Google to see pics of this chicken.
Second, your breakfast comments were hilarious. You’re correct, Denny’s is so blah here in the US. But it is indeed cheap and they’re all over the place so quite easy to find. Not all breakfast dishes here are sweet. There’s plenty of fried eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, potatoes, omelettes, breakfast burritos, steak n eggs to go around. I’m rarely in the mood for a “sweet” breakfast....sometimes a couple pancakes on the side of a savory breakfast is yummy if you’re REALLY hungry.
Ok and lastly, I shit when you guys mentioned the word MOIST because I have a serious aversion to this word too. It’s reminiscent of a “sore” or something disgusting like that....an STD or pussy abscess 🤮 but as Joel said, I will use the word only when describing an awesome piece of chocolate cake, or lemon cupcake, brownies, etc. Otherwise, it’s a sickening word.
hahahaha you're hilarious Melanie! MOIST should be banned except for use on cakes and things haha!
There was never a thing about the word moist when I was growing up. It's just the younger generation that has made something out of it. Still haven't pinpointed what happened to cause the term to shift to cause people to have such disgusted reactions to it. Guess just another thing for millennials to get triggered by. Don't you have enough? :)
Kevin Dean I didn’t really chalk it up to a millennial thing?? I’m 43 so definitely not a millennial. I dunno how old Joel n Lia are, but I just found it funny and ironic that people so far away found the same word to be so disgusting. I thought it was MY weird quirk.
We have a Nandos and it is fairly expensive for a chicken place. I got the piri piri sauce and it was nice but nothing special.
Brunch is definitely a thing on Sundays...In most states I've lived in! A very social gathering and can run the gamut from savory breakfast foods (eggs, meats, hash browns/potatoes, avocado/veggie dishes, etc.) to the stereotypically sweet items (french toast, waffles, pancakes). But never have I seen pudding offered!! I will say ever since I told my mom about beans on toast, ages ago I might add, she has been trying to get me to make it for breakfast one day.
I live in Chicago and I had no idea Nandos excited until my sister came to visit from Mexico City. She LOVES England and goes often and she was the one to introduce me to Nandos and my whole entire family and boyfriend are obsessed with it
To the British people, Jam and Jelly are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! Jam is made with the whole fruit, jelly with only the juice.
Our jelly is like your jello
Same goes in the U.S.
You can get eggs, bacon, ham, hashbrowns, toast and butter just about anywhere.

Brian Paq-Sav yep. I know it. Look at my comment earlier. Love these guys! Thanks! 💙👍
Whenever I've been to USA I have had this;
"I just love your accent Say something." At which point I am too self conscious to say anything
I'm American and whenever I go up North, I get the same thing.
Just say.... BOLLOCKS
I live in Kansas. I drink a fruit smoothie for breakfast and a granola bar. American breakfast is too unhealthy and not filling. Beans for breakfast is odd, but to each their own I suppose. I don't even like beans in general so
I don't like tea in general, but I don't know anyone or have seen anyone drink hot tea. It's usually unsweetened iced tea instead of choosing pop or lemonade. We don't just go out with friends or family to drink tea with them.
Americans also hate moist!!!! :)
Where exactly are you guys going in America? America is so diverse. I recommend going to local hot spots, and not large chains.
Stereotypes exist for every place. Some because, well, there is some truth to it, but also exaggerated truths. It's sarcastic as well.
A lot of these things on your list, we do (or hate or like) as well. They are kind of universal.
I say, do whatever floats your boat. Try everything at least once. (Err almost everything) Immerse yourself in cultures other than your own, and be respectful even if its not something you fancy.
When I watch some of these videos of yours, and you mention things that American people tend to ask you, it's always very strange to me. It's like the only Americans you've spoken to are Americans that are living under a rock somewhere. Are people really that uninformed? Okay okay that's rhetorical, of course there's extremely uninformed people out there because look who our president is, but it makes me very very sad to see so many people that can't put two and two together or understand things that should come quite naturally to anyone with a brain. Not to say that everyone should know everything, that's impossible, but if you don't understand something at least say "Hey I don't understand this, can you explain it to me?", rather than just being rude about it, or unaccepting because it's not what you're used to.
Stereotype: Everyone in America is fat, and eats nothing but sugar.
Truth: No, not every American is fat and survives on sugar.
The Underlying Truth: Yes, there is a problem occurring, and yes obesity levels are higher than they were 40 or 60 or 100 years ago. However, you can find that happening, albeit, at different rates, all over the world.
Stereotype: British food sucks
Truth: British food does not suck
Underlying Truth: Every place has food that is amazing, and food that sucks. It's also just a matter of personal taste. What one person loves, another hates. For me, Cilantro! Fuck that noise! I hate it, it tastes exactly like soap. (I have the gene, there is an olfactory sense gene that some ppl have and some don't, those that have it, taste Cilantro as something akin to getting soap in your mouth) Other people love Cilantro, and sprinkle that shit like fairy dust all over everything. Meh... What can you do?
If you want to see crazy foods that look both amazing and deadly at the same time, I would love to see reaction videos to you two watching "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" from the Food Network channel here, or the show "Carnival Eats" on the Food Network, or anything that Alton Brown puts out. (Good Eats) or Anthony Bourdain (RIP).
Triple D, as they call the first mentioned show, actually has a book of all the places they've been to and the things that they've tried, so when you go to those areas you can look up those places to try those foods, Which is kind of neat. I suggest that when you visit America, you always look out for where the locals are eating, even if it's a little hole-in-the-wall, it still could be pumping out some amazing food. (Denny's is a chain restaurant that is mostly used for quick, cheap food, or for the "Drunk 30 hour" after the bars or pubs close. They are usually open 24 hours, 7 days a week, so it's convenient, greasy food. So when you see a Denny's parking lot full at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning, you can ask what time is it? It's drunk 30 time.)
@Creepy Stories Oh sorry, I know reading can be hard...
@@WeLoud Just long enough to trigger Joel and Lia. 😉
@Creepy Stories Google "Sarcasm"
i read this whole thing, fucking loved it
@@iitskeykey1803 Lol, why thank you. 😉
amazing as always
aw thanks so much
Isn't Nando's portuguese? I'm from Portugal and I'm moving to England in a few months and one thing almost everyone tells me is that there are a lot of amazing portuguese restaurants all over and they always mention Nando's... Anyways, this was a really fun video, keep it going guys ;)
I can't have heard you right. Did you call your viewers "thick"?
You dont have to eat sweets for breakfast in America. The cuisine differs by state or region, but you will have a great pick of savory dishes to eat. As for guns, your chances of getting shot is the same as your chances of getting killed in a London terrorist attack. Dont worry, come over and you will love it here.
I'm currently in Florida. Love it so much!
Enjoy, and send some good weather up to NYC because it's raining all day.
I was going to suggest chick fil a if you feel like eating a bit of fast food, but I forgot you're vegan.
Yeah, they're not in school anymore so their chance of being shot has gone down considerably.
Come up to Detroit. Hot and sunny here. The biggest thing we need to do for our image here in the US is get the tourist away from our coastline. The coast's are the least American areas of the US.
The sugary breakfast stuff is mostly for kids or for people in a hurry. Granola bars, pop tarts, cereal, donuts, etc. Pancakes and waffles are definitely popular as well. For most people who are going to sit down and eat a hot breakfast it will probably be toast with butter, sausage, hash browns, and eggs. Most of the people at the diner I work at order a full breakfast like that and maybe add or share pancakes. Also popular are omelettes and biscuits and gravy. So for a full sit down breakfast it will be mostly savory. I have personally never understood the sugar for breakfast thing. Sets up the day for failure imo.
I grew up on the sweet carby breakfasts, but as an adult, I can't stand them either. Lia, you hit the nail on the head when you said that eating all that sugar first thing in the a.m. sets you up for craving it all day! Give me eggs, bacon and buttered toast. 👍
Your video never fails to put a smile on my face!!! 😬
Aw thanks so much
Really? I’m at Brit and I pay £2 for a nice pack of strawberries at M&S. When I went to the Us, I paid about $5 for an equally sized pack of strawberries.
Ours were likely organic
Will you do questions for Kiwis? New Zealand is always like the forgotten sibling of the commonwealth
I hope this comes across well, Kiwis and Canadians are pretty much instant friends, to many Brits. We love you guys (ofc perspective from my nearly 50 years), you are not forgotten at all, in fact we owe you our gratitude. Aussies have a harder time in UK I am pleased to tell you :)
I don't get why people say British food is bad at all!! You'd could eat anything you wanted here, all religions and 'isms' are catered for & the variety is massive! I reckon a lot of foreign people are used to huge portions and super unhealthy food which is why our food takes them by surprise 😂
Yeah!!!
It might have been true years ago, but when I visited last year, everything I had was very good(except the F&C stand at The Tower of London). Sometimes old stereotypes die hard.
whatislaura it's the original British food not the culturalized food. Original brittish food is very bland, not alot of flavor. The hotel I stayed at there served croissant sandwiches everyday which were quite good but got a little boring after so many days.
It was one of those myths in USA that persisted for years along with the idea, that London was always foggy, and everyone in Scotland lives in a castle. It's a hangover from when American servicemen based in the UK experienced food in Britiain during WWII while there was rationing. Food has noticeably improved over the past 70 years since. Admittedly, choice was limited as we're our tastes, but as Brits travelled more, the demand for authentic various national/World cuisines grew , noticeably with huge steps forward from 1980's onwards.
And in more recent times, tourists from overseas haven't always chosen the Best places to eat or stick to 'tourist traps' (e.g. those awful Aberdeen Steak Houses') or hotels instead of asking us locals where they could experience great food and dining.
And there are a few Nando’s in the States now, but they’re clustered around DC and Chicago.
I love breakfast burritos, vegan version of the Mexican Huevos Rancheros (I use tofu), Miso soup with rice (because I lived in Japan and got used to eating that), fried potatoes and veggie sausages with fried tomatoes (discovered fried tomatoes in Britain). We save the pancakes or waffles with "bacon" (I call it "fakun") for the weekends.
Well British people are just “rude on a very politely way” 😂😂😂😂 (the only thing I’ve learn on this channel)
Omg. I'm American, Just started talking to a British man and I came across you're channel and I love you guys , hilarious, everything is so true , thank you for the education 😘😘😘😘😘
I am Indian and recently started talking to British guy..
Joel & Lia you two from the UK- United Kingdom are known for your culture in Europe for your finest of Teas, But that's not leaving out other nations like India or China that constantly drinks it.
Bean and cheese tacos. :)
In Texas we have breakfast tacos and they’re everything.
Potato and egg. Chorizo and egg. Barbacoa.
Love y’all!
Ooooo they sound amazing!!
Being British: Joel & Lia you have no idea. 🤤
Dago Sanchez love me a breakfast taco with eggs, potatoes, sausage, onions and cheese, and hot sauce!
J G eh. Maybe from Austin south. I’m in San Antonio and you can’t turn a corner without there being a taqueria.
J G tacos, plates. It just depends on where you go. We make them at home when we have no food besides eggs and corn tortillas.
Would love a video on making the “perfect” cup of tea in Britain. You two are so entertaining!
I’m American and if I reply or hear “Yes, that’s fine” or “I’m fine” to a question, that’s definitely a passive aggressive signal that really “no, I’m actually very annoyed, so you better pick up on my annoyance and do something about it.” 😊
Love your videos, the best channel.
You guys should visit the New England area (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, etc.). Breakfast in a lot of diners here include baked beans. It's fairly common here. As a matter of fact, full New England breakfast is not that different from full English breakfast, with the exception of kippers and we have pork sausage rather than blood sausage.
Never been to the motherland, but I must still agree with you: you have good food. Why wouldn’t you, you have your pick of cuisines throughout the world. I have no idea how/why that stereotype began. Always been a stereotype. But I watch a lot of PBS (our version of BBC only more regional), and I know you folks are serious about your cuisine. But, beans for breakfast? Nope, not unless they are in a breakfast burrito. You need breakfast burritos. “Lining up” is not uniquely British. It’s worldwide. We drink a lot of tea, but it’s ICED tea.

when people ask me "What're you doing for the royal wedding" I reply with "Organising your funeral" and then laugh manically.
Denny's and American breakfast in general has TONS of savory options. Lia go to Denny's and order a Vegetarian Grand Slam!
You indeed are the realest people on RUclips.
hahaha YESSSSSS!
My husband and I usually eat sugary cereal randomly when we're up late. Hardly ever for actually breakfast. We usually just have coffee or skip breakfast. Occasionally we'll go all out and do a big brunch. Eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns etc. But the kids usually have fruit for breakfast , or oatmeal, or boiled eggs (from day before because we're not morning people and aren't waking early to make anything 😅) occasionally theyll have sugary cereal, but usually they just eat it dry because they're little.
And Denny's is good it's just more of a place you go eat at 3am when you're drunk than a place you plan to go to for dinner or something 😅😅 24hr breakfast ♥♥ lol
