I love it when you post videos like this. It really reinforces my British pride, and it’s always good seeing my home country from your perspective. It just seems more beautiful. Also, hit up Patty & Bun! Best burger in London! Have a good week!
I used to live in England for a number of years and I too found some things a bit shocking, things that I now can't imagine not having in my life either. I agree with you I would have never tried milk in tea in the states, it's just something I have never seen or heard anyone do here. It seemed strange to me, but it works. I also go to a place here in the states called "MOD Pizza" the mod stands for "Made On Demand". And they have roasted corn that you can put on your pizzas along with roasted garlic roasted broccoli... Etc. And these roasted vegetables are the best on a pizza. Never would have thought it would work... But it does! One of the things I now just love that I first ate in England... and it's so simple, but oh so good are cheese and tomato sandwiches! I now love, love, love just cheese and tomato sandwiches. I would have never had Or bought a sandwich with just cheese and tomato on it... LOL! In the states that sandwich better have some ham, some turkey, some meat, some something else on it for me to have bought it... LOL!! I would have never thought that tomatoes and cheese on a baguette with butter would be something I would want, but now I crave them... LOL! And my life was changed by the Lotus Biscoff biscuits / cookies I got in a local little tea shop in East Anglia for the first time! I thought I would never be able to enjoy the goodness of that cookie again once I returned to the States, and was overjoyed and delighted to have been able to find them in the international section (and now in the regular cookie section) of my local grocery stores! Those cookies give me Life and Joy all at the same time... LOL! And I was thrilled to find that there's a Nando's in my home state, (I have to travel a couple of hours to get there, but it's worth it) that was one of my go to places when I lived abroad and I'm glad I don't have to live without it... LOL! Sorry this was so long, Love your Channel!
@@joeyluvshouse The combination was something that I had never even heard of until I went to England. I did have scones in the States before I traveled abroad, but they were more like a pastry hockey puck here... well, at least the places that I had went to tasted that way (they probably make them somewhere here in the states similar to the good ones I had in England, but I haven't found them)... LOL! But I fell in love with the scones with clotted cream whilst overseas... Yummy!!
@@mompuff6857 If I remember correctly... Fingers crossed... I think it was shredded cheddar or mozzarella on the tomato and cheese sandwich. The only other thing that was on the baguette was butter... It was Simply Delicious!! You could have them either toasted or non-toasted, but oh so good!😊
If you thought that season was good you should try watching the first ones, so many people agree the early seasons were the best! No real agendas and everyone seemed much more authentic. I wanna rewatch them but it’s really sad as Caroline Flack (the host from the start) stepped back from filming this season due to a pending court case and has since committed suicide ☹️ don’t think the show will ever be the same x
"English Breakfast Tea" is black tea, its's strong and has a astringent tannin flavour and you tone it down with a bit of milk - the right sort of tea to get you going in the morning! Earl Grey is also a black tea but flavoured with bergamot. Other teas are lighter and usually taken without milk and sugar so as to appreciate their flavour and fragrance.
Paige you make me proud to be British due to your appreciation of British things. Thank you for making me see the positive things about living in London. You would make the best tourist guide here. Love your videos as always 💜💜
@Justin Time Not all of China, Hong Kong they drink tea with milk due to the old British colony. In India also that's 1.5 billion people and where tea comes from. I love Turkish strong tea though and I drink that black in small glasses with sugar, having family out there and having lived there. But normally tea with milk no sugar for me.
Hey Paige, this a very good video. Whilst most people here in the UK might consider this normal and it’s the standard ; it’s good to see the disparity between the two. Also very informative from your standpoint as well. It’s a really well made video and compares your own view to the norm. Great video & great content Paige
I was able 2 go on RUclips and watch it after returning back to the States, it definitely was a guilty pleasure... LOL! So sad that she did not continue the series, but I enjoyed it while it lasted!
I really enjoyed this video, it’s always interesting as a Londoner to see a different perspective, particularly when someone has actually been here long term. Videos from someone who has visited for a week tend to have weird, incorrect assumptions I find, where your like “erm... no, that’s not a thing .” Anyway I especially enjoyed this because I was seeing a New Yorker for a good few years and could relate. I managed to get him into appreciating a proper (proper !) cup of tea- starting with earl grey and almond/oat but evolving into the real deal breakfast tea with cows milk, every morning (and heaps of sugar. Couldn’t sway that American love of sugar...) He also thought sweetcorn on pizza was wild. I thought it was weird it ISN’T a thing over there! And was always annoyed I couldn’t get it, it’s one of my favourite toppings... Loved seeing how these things make you happy in a small way and hope you continue to enjoy London life...
omg yessss franco manca!!! ok insider tip - Selfridges department store does 50-75 percent off most items in the food hall from 9pm (some items from 5pm). Get involved!!! i literally bought a feast for 2 inc. sushi, cake, mixed meat and veg salads, cookies etc for £7.50 - enough for two people. Sidenote - CHICKENSHOP DATE IS MY JAM!!!! Amelia is so so funny girllll you a Brit now!
As a Londoner, who now lives abroad, I miss and love London. Please have another fan meetup in either Sep, Oct or Nov 2020 when I will be back in London. Thank you, from a small you tuber and fan. 😄
ilove billie eillish Shocking! I am Canadian of Caribbean background and I’ve always had milk in my tea it wasn’t until the past 3-5 years that I may not pour it in my tea every time I have it.
Franco Manca is a true Italian pizzeria too, and it is amazing. I am from Sicily and Franco Manca and a couple of independant pizza places in London are the only places that come close to what pizza in Italy tastes like! Zizzi, Pizza Express, Dominos, Pizza Hut etc... nothing like real pizza. And those protein bars arr incredible, i agree!
I also cannot drink tea without milk after having it that way. Every time I visit London I have to go to Borough Market and get a salt beef sandwich and the vegan pear, parsnip, and sea-salted caramel cake.. and of course Nandos.
Box park started out as a concept shopping experience, the idea was to create a makeshift shopping centre made from refitted shipping containers. It has evolved initially its first location was Shoreditch but they have also created Box park locations in Croydon and Wembley.
Walmart are looking to sell Asda but it hasn’t happened yet. Asda & Tesco are okay for “usual” stuff but Waitrose is better quality but more expensive. British tea is “black” tea which should have milk but other teas are herbal or fruity which should NOT have milk.
I am so happy that you have started drinking milk with your tea... you are a true brit now! I asked for milk in my tea at starbucks in America once and the barista looked at me like I had lost my mind.
When I was a kid in school, every Friday we always had pizza, corn, and tossed salad and a lot of people put their corn on their pizza and ate it that way.
Don’t worry about having a lot of snacks etc bc I love getting recommend snacks etc in other countries etc even though I never left the US it’s always good tho.
@@MarkWardReacts I live 10 mins drive from the Wembley box park and while it is decent, it has nothing on Shorditch box park. Shorditch box park is ever so slightly smaller but the layout, the atmosphere, the events, the food and the people are unbeatable there. One of my fav places when i go visit family and friends in central London.
as a bloke i had to giggle at the hand bags hanging on the door i wonder how many pairs of shoes you got under your bed or bottom of the wardrobe or as you say it closet. ps the best thing about the reality obsessed British TV is the off switch on your TV set or browser
i love this channel bc i get to hear an american talk about uk stuff. i love the american people, and it makes me feel like they know about us. notice us american senpais
We have a Kiko Milano in Pentagon City Mall in VA, right outside of DC. Their stuff is very affordable! Corn on pizza...milk in tea... I’ll try most things but that’s the end.
Sincerely AJG that weird because everywhere in the world most people put milk or cream in tea ... is it a black American thing because I’ve had tea in the states with white people and I was offered cream in my tea. What I found strange is how powdered milk in the states ( coffee mate ) is used in coffee . Why not real milk ...( unless it’s Starbucks)
Hi Paige, I remember going to the movie theatre when I lived in Greenwich, and they did not have butter for popcorn...not even the flavored seasonings. I recall that was so strange. The was the only theatre I ever went to when I lived in London. Maybe they had it in other theatres?
Im a londoner and I can relate 100% franco manca i Love!! have you tried rum kitchen in brixton if you like carribean food you should go their the food is really good!!
ASDA = yes, sweet corn on pizza = yes but apart from that it seems I’m not very British at all 😂 it’s also so weird to hear how much people like London..6 years here and after year 1 I wanted to die😭
Paige Mariah From Nottingham in the UK (where Robin Hood is from) 🤣wouldn’t recommend that place either haha but my family are Jamaican so maybe that’s why I feel like this🙊
I don’t think I ever said that I couldn’t find any protein bars here lol...there is a specific brand that I like in the states that is not sold in the UK.
Hi 👋 Loved your video!!! You'll need to take a wee trip up to Edinburgh at some point (August is fabby when the festival is on) Some really 'interesting' things' to eat here 😁
You've got to try traditional London food, "pie, mash & liquor " you may not like it ,but you can't come to London & not try it. Has to be an old traditional shop though. Cookes in Hoxton, Manzies bermondsey, just over Tower Bridge, or Kelly's Roman Road.
Paige, have you ever had the Chicago mix popcorn from Garrett’s popcorn? I think you would like it if you like sweet and salty. Maybe you can add that to the list when you are back home.
Proper Corn sweet and salty is the truth! I use to go Tesco and get that and a falafel wrap on my break from work all the time. I also miss Wasabi's sweet chilli tofu bento and veggie burgers from this place in Acton called The Forest.
i never knew that people didn't have wilk in "normal" tea. i don't drink herbal tea with milk but i always have pg tips/english breakfast/earl grey etc with milk.
You're right, Asda is extremely similar to Walmart, only Walmart doesn't have a Pizza Counter. Have you tried that in Asda? It's my wife's favourite thing! (Though she does have reservations about sweetcorn on pizza! haha)
Wow! These all sound great! You didn’t put Primark on your list?! Tea with milk is a lot more common than you think. I’ve grown up drinking it that way in the 70s and 80s. Corn on pizza...wow! I actually like apple slices on my pizza!
love Island... Oh dear god .. 😩 as for FrancoManca I've never heard of them, but it looks like my closest one is nearly 100 miles away in Leeds, ha ha. Will try them out if I ever get the chance though, sounds good
I'm surprised you didn't mention sated caramel, it's like the nations dessert lol you like sweet and salty popcorn, i figured you'd mention salted caramel
Yes, I love milk in tea too! I don't know what it is but I feel like I'm from the UK, even though I've never been... (yet). I feel connected some kind of way. Even when I drink something my pinky finger sticks out automatically. It's in me... lol :)
Makeba Jackson, I think it is because you are Blessed. I’m British-Scottish and I feel the exact same way about the USA. I lived in the USA for over 3 years it was super weird and fun too. I met an American pastor in Scotland, he was amazed at how much he loved Scotland and how he didn’t appreciate where he grew up much. I told him I think it would work both ways. So if I lived where he grew up I would be think it was great because it wasn’t until I had lived in England, Germany and the USA, then when I went back I appreciated it more. But thank God I still want to see and experience all He has for me. Btw a lot of people consider the pinky thing to be rude. So I know we are both Blessed, IJN Amen
Paige. You need to listen to the talented August Twelfth singer , songwriter ,producer and rapper. His r&b vocals are on point. Plenty videos here on RUclips.
When I studied abroad in the UK, I became ADDICTED to this soft drink brand called J2O. OMG! The raspberry flavor tastes like a Jolly Rancher exploded in my mouth! Also, my group and I would love watching Naked Attraction. I remember the first time somebody said in our group chat "YO there are NAKED people on TV!! LIKE FULL FRONTAL NUDITY!" And my roommate and I were SHOOK. We were like "This is so weird...but this is also kind of a good show."
@@PaigeMariah OH GIRL! IT IS WILD! It's a dating show and they have the people in boxes that are revealed from the BOTTOM UP. You see EVERYTHING FULL FRONTAL.
@@swishanimoo8815 Oh I wish I had a hidden camera for you buddy! Even though we were all college students, none of us had seen anything like it! I mean, maybe if you have a paid porn channel, but on PUBLICLY funded REGULAR TV?! Our eyes were as big as saucers and our jaws were on the floor. We kept saying "WTF? WTF? HOW IS THIS ALLOWED? AND HOW IS THIS AN ACTUAL GOOD SHOW?!" And after that, for the rest of the trip, we all became fans. It's one of the things I miss about the UK.
Great vid, always interesting to get the your and the US perspective on stuff. Gonna put you on the spot now sis, from your point of view why do Americans hate British food so much and which foods do they hate the most or simply just not get. Now there's a hot topic for you! 🔥 😜 😝
I'm the same, I love our food and can never understand the joke about British food being bad! My fav dish would have to be toad in the Hole or Sheppards pie (love me some lamb) lol
I know you didn't ask my particular opinion , but I would like to answer the question from my perspective. Please know I'm not trying to be rude or insensitive at all, and that I loved and enjoyed... And miss... a great many dishes that I had whilst living in England. I would say that the biggest difference I found was in the seasoning of the food. I would say that we are more heavy-handed when it comes to seasoning and using sugar compared to the UK in general (not including Asian, African , Jamaican food...Etc). But I think that's the beauty of exploring other places you learn how other people and cultures enjoy different things and live daily in their particular country and that's a good thing! The more we can learn about and understand one another the better it can be for all of us. Take care!
@@renee176 No offence at all on my side. Being from Jamaican heritage I love the spices of Caribbean and even Indian cuisine but being born in the UK I oddly enough have also grown to love some less flavoursome traditional English dishes like Roast Dinners Chicken/Beef inc. yorkshire puddings 😋 , Fish and Chips even the odd meat pie. This type of stuff is warm comfort food and kind of grows on you, can't be beaten esp. in the cold winter months.
S1mon E I been to the states 5 times, I think London and New York City are two of my favourite cities in the world, but London food is the best and my America wife and her American friends also agree, London’s bigger than all USA cities by area size, so u got to know where to eat
Hey Paige another epic vid! Good job! Chicken Shop date is funny in a painful way , it kind of squeezes the laughter out of you. 😖😝🤣. A lot of Americans absolutely love Top Boy (Netflix). Have you ever seen it?
Hey Paige, enjoyed the video! If you love the 'Proper' popcorn, then you may also love 'Corners' sweet and salty flavour. Warning - they are addictive, they say its 'the new shape of popcorn', vegan, low calories. However, as far as I know, they only sell them at Sainsbury's.
I love it when you post videos like this. It really reinforces my British pride, and it’s always good seeing my home country from your perspective. It just seems more beautiful. Also, hit up Patty & Bun! Best burger in London! Have a good week!
This makes me so happy & thank you for the recommendation!! 😊
I’m a New Yorker living in London and I have falling in love with Apple Crumble and Custard !! Jesus is Lord !!😋
Can't go wrong with that! At all
Amen to that! You mean they don't have Apple Crumble and custard in the States. Need to pray for them. 🙏
@@joegawne1601 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go to bagel king in walworth and buy a apple crumble and custard thank me after you do it
Tee. Is that in camberwell?

Renee Williams so odd you never tried milk & tea before ldn
Which kind of cheese in your tomato sandwich? Do you add lettuce, mayo, etc?
@@joeyluvshouse The combination was something that I had never even heard of until I went to England. I did have scones in the States before I traveled abroad, but they were more like a pastry hockey puck here... well, at least the places that I had went to tasted that way (they probably make them somewhere here in the states similar to the good ones I had in England, but I haven't found them)...

@@mompuff6857 If I remember correctly... Fingers crossed... I think it was shredded cheddar or mozzarella on the tomato and cheese sandwich. The only other thing that was on the baguette was butter... It was Simply Delicious!! You could have them either toasted or non-toasted, but oh so good!😊
Renee Williams yummy!! Thank you so much for answering my question!! I’m making them!, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m in the US and started watching Love Island last fall on hulu!! I’m obsessed!! Sîannese & Luke T were the queen & king this season!
omg they totally were!!!

❤️❤️❤️
I’m British and tbh I didn’t know that people drank tea ☕️ without milk 🥛
I drink my tea black; it goes with my heart
My brother said Steve tea no milk no sugar, mate a was gonna throw it at him after a was done with it
Darjeeling and lemon
How is that possible milk in tea is the most common thing in Britain
@Justin Time Not all of China, Hong Kong they drink tea with milk due to the old British colony. In India also that's 1.5 billion people and where tea comes from.

thank you so much Mel!!
Sweetcorn on pizza is a huge yes! This video deserves a like just for that.
Hate sweet corn on pizza
I’d recommend watching Chewing gum by Tracey Gordon you’ll love it. And listening to The receipts podcast on Spotify
I love chewing gum, I binged watched it a long time ago & I’ll check out the podcast, thank you!
'Chewing Gum' is written by Michaela Coel, the character she plays is called Tracey Gordon.
Receipts podcast sucks
luke Drive it’s actually by michaela coel, about tracy gordon (who is basically her lol)

Hi Paige, I remember going to the movie theatre when I lived in Greenwich, and they did not have butter for popcorn...not even the flavored seasonings. I recall that was so strange. The was the only theatre I ever went to when I lived in London. Maybe they had it in other theatres?
wow, that definitely is strange! lol
Im a londoner and I can relate 100% franco manca i Love!! have you tried rum kitchen in brixton if you like carribean food you should go their the food is really good!!

You should get regular tea like PG Tips or Yorkshire Gold, that's the real deal.
also = boxpark in croydon is pretty dope too, more food variety. AND GO TO NANDOS!!!! Get the mango chicken and then smother it in hot peri sauce
Hi 👋 Loved your video!!! You'll need to take a wee trip up to Edinburgh at some point (August is fabby when the festival is on) Some really 'interesting' things' to eat here 😁
I visited Edinburgh last May and really enjoyed it 😊😊
@@PaigeMariah That's fantastic to hear 😍
You don’t need make up my darling, you are beautiful. ☺️
Yeah,I learnt about the corn pizza at my twins School 2017!
You've got to try traditional London food, "pie, mash & liquor " you may not like it ,but you can't come to London & not try it. Has to be an old traditional shop though. Cookes in Hoxton, Manzies bermondsey, just over Tower Bridge, or Kelly's Roman Road.
Paige, have you ever had the Chicago mix popcorn from Garrett’s popcorn? I think you would like it if you like sweet and salty. Maybe you can add that to the list when you are back home.
lol I’m from Chicago of course I have...a million times 😆
I'm not gonna skip ads so you make that scrilla for ya little crunch bars x
😭😭😭 thank youuuu
Proper Corn sweet and salty is the truth! I use to go Tesco and get that and a falafel wrap on my break from work all the time. I also miss Wasabi's sweet chilli tofu bento and veggie burgers from this place in Acton called The Forest.
Happy Sunday. So proud of your accomplishments! Be Great on Purpose.
thanks SO much Brigitte! 💕😊
Creamer and tea is EVERYTHING!
You need try the Masala chai tea. It's a milky tea mixed with masala spices...
You should go to junkyard golf club in shoreditch if you haven’t already!!
it's on my list!!
Ugh, had to bail out when you mentioned Love Island!
thanks for stopping by! 👋🏼
i never knew that people didn't have wilk in "normal" tea. i don't drink herbal tea with milk but i always have pg tips/english breakfast/earl grey etc with milk.
You're right, Asda is extremely similar to Walmart, only Walmart doesn't have a Pizza Counter. Have you tried that in Asda? It's my wife's favourite thing! (Though she does have reservations about sweetcorn on pizza! haha)
I haven’t seen a pizza counter!
@@PaigeMariah Oh no! The Pizza Counter is the greatest thing about Asda for me! haha They usually have it over by the Deli and Curry sections!
You need to try the Tesco Finest range of foods.
Wow! These all sound great! You didn’t put Primark on your list?! Tea with milk is a lot more common than you think. I’ve grown up drinking it that way in the 70s and 80s. Corn on pizza...wow! I actually like apple slices on my pizza!
My first time shopping at Primark was in 2016! This is a list of things I didn’t know about before moving here last year. 😊 & wow, apple slices?? lol
love Island... Oh dear god .. 😩 as for FrancoManca I've never heard of them, but it looks like my closest one is nearly 100 miles away in Leeds, ha ha. Will try them out if I ever get the chance though, sounds good
Boxpark is amazing. Have you tried pizza express ?
I found kiko Milano in Berger’s when they where closing and it was a gel nail polish set you’d like it it was pretty good I still use it
Ohhh I love the way you say sainsburyyyy❤️ Emilias chicken shop is awesome
What's your opinion on fish and chips and a full english breakfast
still haven’t had legit fish and chips here and the English breakfast is a no for me lol
I'm surprised you didn't mention sated caramel, it's like the nations dessert lol you like sweet and salty popcorn, i figured you'd mention salted caramel
lol umm we have salted caramel in the US 😆
Try honey in your tea instead of sugar......hope you like it 🤞
omg corn on pizza is my shit.. I miss it so much here in Canada and was shocked I couldn't add corn as a topping at Dominos?!
Yes, I love milk in tea too! I don't know what it is but I feel like I'm from the UK, even though I've never been... (yet). I feel connected some kind of way. Even when I drink something my pinky finger sticks out automatically. It's in me... lol :)
Awww love it!
Makeba Jackson, I think it is because you are Blessed. I’m British-Scottish and I feel the exact same way about the USA. I lived in the USA for over 3 years it was super weird and fun too. I met an American pastor in Scotland, he was amazed at how much he loved Scotland and how he didn’t appreciate where he grew up much. I told him I think it would work both ways. So if I lived where he grew up I would be think it was great because it wasn’t until I had lived in England, Germany and the USA, then when I went back I appreciated it more. But thank God I still want to see and experience all He has for me. Btw a lot of people consider the pinky thing to be rude. So I know we are both Blessed, IJN Amen
This is a great list x love at least 80% of these things
thank you for watching!! 😊
What! You never had tea without milk before wow wow 😂😂😂 I found that so funny Damn🤣 and chicken shop ay 😂
I think you're the first person I've ever seen say ASDA is they're favourite supermarket...
there’s a first time for everything 😊
Joshua Dixon Really? ASDA is the working class fave.
@@Kashleighsays I confess I'm a Lidl stan. Just to clarify my first comment wasn't meant to be salty although it kinda looks like it was!
I am a ASDA stan - I'll sometimes wander into Sainsbury's or go to Co-op, but ASDA has my heart
U knw Tesco’s better than Asda. But you should try home bargains and B&M
Paige. You need to listen to the talented August Twelfth singer , songwriter ,producer and rapper. His r&b vocals are on point. Plenty videos here on RUclips.
Tuna and sweetcorn pizza is the best :)
When I studied abroad in the UK, I became ADDICTED to this soft drink brand called J2O. OMG! The raspberry flavor tastes like a Jolly Rancher exploded in my mouth! Also, my group and I would love watching Naked Attraction. I remember the first time somebody said in our group chat "YO there are NAKED people on TV!! LIKE FULL FRONTAL NUDITY!" And my roommate and I were SHOOK. We were like "This is so weird...but this is also kind of a good show."
Omg I’ve never heard of the drink or the show! *gets on google*
@@PaigeMariah OH GIRL! IT IS WILD! It's a dating show and they have the people in boxes that are revealed from the BOTTOM UP. You see EVERYTHING FULL FRONTAL.
I vowed I would never watch Naked Attraction but its like Pringles, once you pop you can't stop😂😜
I love Naked attraction!! I've always wanted to see an American react to it cos their censorship rules are so strict compared to ours!!
@@swishanimoo8815 Oh I wish I had a hidden camera for you buddy! Even though we were all college students, none of us had seen anything like it! I mean, maybe if you have a paid porn channel, but on PUBLICLY funded REGULAR TV?! Our eyes were as big as saucers and our jaws were on the floor. We kept saying "WTF? WTF? HOW IS THIS ALLOWED? AND HOW IS THIS AN ACTUAL GOOD SHOW?!" And after that, for the rest of the trip, we all became fans. It's one of the things I miss about the UK.
Asda is the truth 😂🙌🏾
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great vid, always interesting to get the your and the US perspective on stuff. Gonna put you on the spot now sis, from your point of view why do Americans hate British food so much and which foods do they hate the most or simply just not get. Now there's a hot topic for you! 🔥 😜 😝
I'm the same, I love our food and can never understand the joke about British food being bad! My fav dish would have to be toad in the Hole or Sheppards pie (love me some lamb) lol
I know you didn't ask my particular opinion , but I would like to answer the question from my perspective. Please know I'm not trying to be rude or insensitive at all, and that I loved and enjoyed... And miss... a great many dishes that I had whilst living in England. I would say that the biggest difference I found was in the seasoning of the food. I would say that we are more heavy-handed when it comes to seasoning and using sugar compared to the UK in general (not including Asian, African , Jamaican food...Etc). But I think that's the beauty of exploring other places you learn how other people and cultures enjoy different things and live daily in their particular country and that's a good thing! The more we can learn about and understand one another the better it can be for all of us. Take care!
@@renee176 No offence at all on my side. Being from Jamaican heritage I love the spices of Caribbean and even Indian cuisine but being born in the UK I oddly enough have also grown to love some less flavoursome traditional English dishes like Roast Dinners Chicken/Beef inc. yorkshire puddings 😋 , Fish and Chips even the odd meat pie. This type of stuff is warm comfort food and kind of grows on you, can't be beaten esp. in the cold winter months.
S1mon E I been to the states 5 times, I think London and New York City are two of my favourite cities in the world, but London food is the best and my America wife and her American friends also agree, London’s bigger than all USA cities by area size, so u got to know where to eat
Love your channel 👍🏼 👌🏼
Hiya my favourite person please do more vlogs you inspire me soooo much
💖💖
Another one for you in the us you say season and in the uk we say series wasn't sure if you knew
Have been to camdemn town?
Yup!
lovely Smile beautiful woman have a great Sunday morning Paige love the Vlogs
Hey Paige another epic vid! Good job! Chicken Shop date is funny in a painful way , it kind of squeezes the laughter out of you. 😖😝🤣. A lot of Americans absolutely love Top Boy (Netflix). Have you ever seen it?
Lol I tried to watch one episode and I needed subtitles!
@@PaigeMariah I hear you 😝 the ones who've enjoyed it may have had a translator present. Where Mike at? 😂
Just wish asda did more American produce like jolly ranchers , Hawaiian Alloha and other things that i fill my suitcase with when i come back
Hey Paige, enjoyed the video! If you love the 'Proper' popcorn, then you may also love 'Corners' sweet and salty flavour. Warning - they are addictive, they say its 'the new shape of popcorn', vegan, low calories. However, as far as I know, they only sell them at Sainsbury's.
Thanks for the recommendation!!
When the 1st thing off the list is Love Island then we have truly lost as a civilisation.
Lol yea I agree
clicked the thumbs up so fast, love these types of videos and OMG I was the same with this year's Love Island!!
Yayyy thanks so much for watching!! 😊😊
love island 2019 (Ovie 😍) was so much better than 2020. But still okay though
Try Dinerama up the road from box park!
