I'm just impressed how much they both ate when visiting each others countries not only food tours but also food wars foreign exchange, thats some impressive food intake levels
@@harrykersh I'm more impressed that you both keep the weight off - I already have a belly and I'd be truly huge if I did your job! Do you just constantly run between videos?
The "Absolute Banger" in the UK is named like that because "banger" is slang for sausage. Additionally, it was a valentines special that got extended into a permanent menu item, and its meant to be a double entendre (sausage... "banging"... get it?).
Joe’s addiction to the additives in US food does make me laugh, nothing more natural tastes good to him! it also makes me a laugh how he just says EXACTLY what he thinks whereas Harry tries to do the British thing (as a Brit I know) and be a little more polite 😂
I actually noticed this myself having pizza from an authentic pizzaria in Italy, all the ingredients you could tell were fresh and very little additives. Tasted amazing and now I hate the stuff on the shelves and from fast food places
You basically nailed it... outside of the Indian food my mom cooked at home, I grew up on mostly processed foods. Once I moved away and began cooking for myself non-Indian stuff, I began to appreciate how much better fresh ingredients are. Now when I have processed foods, I taste the fakeness mostly in the form of absurd saltiness.
When you grow up with additives, you just get used to them. Was in Atlanta last year and when my dad and I ordered a pizza from dominos, we preferred it 100% over the ones in Europe. Especially the “cheese”. Of course companies could dial it down on the chemicals but biologically, they’re just extra proteins and all that. Which gives it a different flavor.
I'd love to see a video where they explore the meat/sausage production of both countries, as the difference in the meats has been a sticking point throughout this series
I used to work at a Domino's a few years ago, and we had a weird, but in my opinion quite tasty pizza called Hypnotica. It had a creme fraiche base, and was topped with spinach (under the cheese), bacon, pepperoni, beef, onions and sauerkraut. Then, after coming out of the oven it was topped with a spiral of BBQ sauce (hence the name Hypnotica).
Sounds like it's trying to be flammkuchen (topped flatbread from the French-German border). Though sauerkraut on top and BBQ sauce definitely not right for that.
I always love watching these because it's interesting to see that different places around the world have different menus despite them being the same company. I also find it interesting to see what you can get in other countries versus what you can get here in the uk
The Pan Crust comes with ~3 oz.of butter-flavored oil soaked into its underside. It ain't healthy but damn, does it taste rich! The gluten-free crust is normally pie-cut into six slices, and it is most definitely an oddly-flavored thing. I actually like it, but it's not good enough to spend the extra $1 for the obligatory small size.
So far,I've really enjoyed this portion of the series! I hope they have more episodes on the way. This is the first time I have heard of a tuna pizza😮😮and corn on a pizza😮😮. Joe is so brave!!
The UK not having a decent Mexican food joint makes a lot of sense now, because I've recently discovered a vast Majority of people from the UK absolutely hate what they THINK Mexican food is.🤔
The Pasta Primavera at Domino's is a diamond in the rough...the tomatoes and spinach and onions in there are such a welcome change from all the godforsaken abominations they do to everything else on the menu...
I really like these new foreign exchange food wars episodes. I love hearing Joe's reaction to some of the pizzas though. And as a fellow American, I also think tuna and corn don't belong on pizza. Ever.
I got diagnosed with Coeliacs 4 years ago in my 40s...you absolutely can get gluten free crust in UK Domino's as well and Harry's reaction was spot on!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Also in total agreement with Joe about tuna (or any fish for that matter!!!!) on a pizza. Love them separately....but they should NOT be combined! 🤮
The best gluten free pizza that my wife has found before, is from Tops Pizza - you get the gluten free base on the vegan pizza's, but you can swap the vegan cheese for proper stuff :D
From what I've seen pizza menu prices are two or three times as expensive in the UK, but they usually have some good coupons like BOGO or 50% off when you spend more than a certain amount, so if you're buying at least two pizzas it wouldn't be too bad.
In the UK it's like $20 (£25) for one "large" (about the same size as a US medium) Dominoes pizza on it's own it's insanely expensive for the commercial mass produced crap low quality pizza you get
It sure is funny to see how much they struggle to find which food they want to take back. Guess Harry's sweet tooth loved those Cinnamon Treats while Joe liked the Volcano Veggie as the best Pizza.
I sometimes get the Philly Cheesesteak pizza, but w/o onions/mushrooms/peppers and extra meat. If you order online, the extra meat is free because you removed other toppings. Not sure if that happens if you order in person. Also, Joe’s wrong about the sandwiches. They’re fine (but not great). I wouldn’t say the pasta is bad either, but still just so-so like a microwave dinner.
This was filmed before they went to Philly for the best cheesesteak, right? Harry's comment about never having a proper Philly cheesesteak caught my eye.
I love these videos and the connection you both have, I would just prefer if Harry wouldn’t give a 10 minute monologue of tasting everything. Joe literally tastes them all within 10 seconds and gives a brash hilarious response. (This is coming from a British person too) 🤣❤
UK dominos is just so expensive even with the permanent deal and offers, local pizza places are everywhere and they're almost almost always far better than dominos and half the price
Ranch substituting for tomato sauce is heresy. If you simply must have ranch on the few pizzas that can bear it, swirl over the top. Keep the conventional sauces, be they tomato or beschamel.
I didn't hear a mention for either of my two favorite toppings at Domino's in the US - Salami and roasted red peppers. Those are excellent, especially when getting creative and adding them to a few other classics. I wonder if Domino's still carries those toppings.
I just checked my local Domino's and it's not listed as an option... 😔I worked at a Dominos from 2006-2012, Double Decadence was always my favourite crust.
Very funny that this is out-of-order with Food Tours and now we know that Harry had the philly cheesesteak pizza and THEN got to enjoy real ones. What a way to ruin this guy's opinion of them!
truly bizarre moment at 6:18 where Harry saying he’s never eaten a Philadelphia cheesesteak before when we saw him try about 6 of them in the latest Food Tours which obviously was filmed subsequently but somehow uploaded first, was interrupted - and i’m not joking - by an ad for Dominos!
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fast food doesn't make money on anything genuinely hot. 1 because hot peppers are expensive and 2, in America they're afraid of getting sued. For the UK, well Britons just can't handle the heat. They lose their shit when it's 85° out, they're not chomping down habaneros.
Does it stink up the shop? I guess you don't get a lot of walk in customers but it would be kind of off-putting to go in to order pizza and smell cat food.
I can agree with Joe on the weird Tuna and Sweetcorn obsession on Pizza's here in the UK, I'd even argue more than Pineapple, those two ingredients belong on Pizza even less.
The X (Where X is a place) Pizza's are typically nothing like the real thing obviously. Like, a Domino's Philly Cheese Steak is NOT an introduction to a "proper" Philly Cheese Steak. :( Also Domino's is a fast food chain, so really it isn't good to compare it to any other type of pizza except perhaps another fast food pizza chain like Pizza Hut maybe. But eating a NY slice and then eating Dominos.. or Texas BBQ... I mean, good marketing maybe. But I wonder how many people actually eat those type of pizzas. I just get either a plain cheese pizza or pepperoni. I don't know anyone that actually orders those more gimicky types.
It sounds weird to hear Harry say he's never had Philly Cheesesteak before, when we just watched the Philly Cheesesteak episode of food tours two weeks ago... This was obviously recorded earlier.
Up north we still do double decadence pizzas, in the Domino's that are franchised from RACS Group. Not sure if the specific franchiser has anything to do with it, but I imagine it does.
My favorite crust is pan, but I'm more of a Pizza Hut girl. I grew up on it and even worked there for a little while. The Banger pizza that Joe was asking about, is some form of hot dog.....or whatever tubular meat-adjacent is in Bangers and mash. My favorite toppings are ham, pineapple, and black olives. I agree with Harry about green peppers, not a fan. I've never had corn on pizza, but based on my current taste bud proclivities, I would like it!
Pan pizza taste nuthin' like real pizza. both pizza hut and dominos suck. Dominos has edge in quick delivery and variety and with pizza hut cause of simplicity. Costco's 10 dollar pizza is alright gets a B grade.
@@mattlord97 Yeah, mine's usually with onions and sometimes anchovies if I'm feeling special. Olives are nice to though, I just don't often have them in!
@@Farquad76.547 It's you who's wrong I'm afraid. It's called the absolute banger because it's got four different types of sausages on it, and here in the UK we use banger as a slang term for a sausage.

Did anyone tell Joe it's likely called the "absolute banger" because of all the sausage on it? Banger is British slang for sausage after all 😁
Bloody hell mate of course a Hong Konger watching know the slang.
@@joshchan2642???
@@mega_Boi2004 even a fella from Hong Kong,knows that banging means that there’s certain things that individual think it slaps.
Compared to the other term for "banger"
If I'm correct, it's because sausages had a lot of water in them during World War 2 (or after the war?) And they "banged" when put in hot oil.
Really loving this foreign exchange series Joe and Harry really know how to entertain us with food This is the best series ever.

Our crust options in the uk are so bland compared to you guys. Give me that pan crust all day.
Gotta try the pan crust the next time I’m in the states.
