Thanksgiving is based on an historical event at the end of the first year of the Plymouth colony. It was a day of praise to God for surviving that year. It has been a bit abused and now centers around lots of HOMECOOKED food and football.
Well not really; they didn't have a cruise, the guy didn't even have a limo (regardless of being able to afford it), and apparently they even think prom dresses are ugly somehow. But like yeah they obviously know what a damn prom is. Which we instantly know as soon as they say "We have watched at least one prom movie".
Nope, you're probably right, especially if it were to Thanksgiving with MY family!! We are descended from a long line of good Southern cooks, so it would never even enter any of our heads to bring canned foods!!!!
I got triggered when Lia said on thanksgiving people bring food that’s canned. My grandmother is rolling in her grave. She would be so offended if she was living. 😂😂
I know that in my family and everyone else I know Thanksgiving is where you cook and make food and snacks for 3 damn days ahead of time FROM SCRATCH NOT A DAMN CAN just to watch it be eaten and all gone in 30 minutes it's the best of the best of everybody's cooking and favorite food dishes.
I'm a born and raised Texan and I know ZERO Americans that bring canned food to Thanksgiving... I would smack anyone who did that...it's very offensive! Please do more research next time! (I'm sorry if that came out rude. I love you guys!)
Karoline Beckett yeah when they said that I was like unmmm...please check facts or something don’t make assumptions....ugh made me criiinge😂 my family has never used anything canned for thanksgiving.
@@hetherpickwell5174 thanksgiving is just the fall harvest festival combined with the thankfulness of pilgrims to have survived the harsh year in the colonies the harvest festival is a common theme across the world europe africa china even the middle east has one
@@raveousone wasn't it also tied to something else tho bc I know it wasn't immediately a holiday until someone declared it was and I forgot for what lol
Copy that. And hours upon hours go into going to various groceries to get exactly what you want. Then the matron of the family usually starts cooking at 8 a.m. for a 2 p.m. meal. These tossers really do their utmost in putting on an upload without doing the least bit of research.
@@danielfronc4304 These women are bending over at the waist putting dvds into dvd players.... Tell us again how motherhood is the hardest job on the planet.
"4th of July. What's that? Another party." It's only the first ever US party. We liked the idea of it so much we decided to do it every year. With sky fire and explosions.
The first Thanksgiving was in the 1600's and while the not-so-pretty side of it has come out in more recent times, the story goes that the European settlers had a meal with the Native Americans in celebration of shared peace and a good harvest. The 4th of July/American independence didn't happen until the following century. ;)
Heather Claypool Ok. I know the history of the Thanksgiving the US celebrates. However, the US isnt the only nation that celebrates it, and when the European settlers did celebrate it when they first got to North America, they were still....European. They hadn't "declared their independence" as an organization of unified states yet. So, again, I was going with US specific celebrations. Not trying to debate this ad nauseam, but all I was attempting to convey is that the first legit USA celebration was the 4th of July because it was literally us saying, "Here we are."
thebenforever, Canada has a Thanksgiving, but they celebrate it in October. Many cultures have had “thanksgiving” at times, but it’s not a yearly thing, or as big an Occasion as 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦.
Cooper King13 the only thing canned that for me would be ok to bring are canned smoked oysters, everything else is fresh and homemade. These two are dimwits.
Sean Beckerer you say “are you for real?” To chastise somebody’s tradition, And in the next breath tell somebody else “just because your family...” 🤔 cognitive dissonance much? Just because some Americans might used canned food (although I don’t know where you would find canned turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc) hardly means it’s worth of comment on this video. Hundreds of thousands of Americans (it not more) spend all day, or even all week cooking from scratch for the day.
Sean Beckerer there are roughly 328 million people in this country. If 1% of them cook all day from scratch for thanksgiving “hundreds of thousands” would be grossly UNDERestimating the number of those that do.
Well I agree with sacredweeds in that we use it in a nonsexual way. Like "Oh! Were you being naughty? Now you have to clean up that crayon you drew all over the closet wall!" to a five year old. Or "He's a naughty little cat. Always getting into the cupboard and pushing all the dishes out." Of course when speaking of adults, in many situations, it has an entirely different context! But I highly doubt you've truly /never/ heard the word used in a nonsexual way! Most likely you just don't personally it that way, and perhaps your friends don'treally either. Also, I kinda felt like Joel & Lia were hinting at that just a tad, but it felt more implied. Perhaps that was just me? I know that they tend to say "naughty" to mean "bad" but they don't /only/ use it in that way :)
Ok I'm here to defend the British, I don't understand why they're being a bit bitchy or why they keep stereotyping Americans but I swear not all brits are like that and take everything they say with a pinch of salt, tbh I didn't even know what eggy bread was and I was born and raised in London, I thought it was just french toast, first they took tea from India and they just kept going, anyway yeah, I'm sorry again on their behalf, peace! ✌ (oh and happy new year for everyone watching around that time!!)
Erica Sigfusdottir yeah I understand that brits are just as nice as everyone else and I feel bad for you guys since you have these people making videos like this
Yeah they were acting all disgusted an American tradition saying that we use any excuse to throw a party. Homecoming is a celebration all of the good work organizations at the school did in the students did. And Thanksgiving is a day of remembering everything that you're thankful for in this world and coming together with your family.
This! This is the truth! The only thing I have ever seen canned at thanksgiving was cranberries. And that was only once when my cousin's boyfriend was in charge of cranberries.... he didn't last long in the family after that. Haha
So true! I prefer Thanksgiving to Christmas. All the best parts of Christmas, food, friends, family, without the financial stress of gift giving. Thanksgiving is my favorite meal and holiday!
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October. All home made turkey stuffing potatoes turnip and green beans mmmmmmm. Eggos are frozen waffels you toast and put butter and syrup. Ewwww eggie bread is our french toast we eat with syrup but NEVER ketchup. Yuck!!!!
It’s traditionally the week before Easter, just a week off school in the spring for kids in school. Only some High School kids go to beaches and party and get super crazy so those destinations started having big Spring Break themed parties and putting it on tv to make people want to go to their location.
Thanksgiving is not canned stuff. People literally cook for hours for there family’s. By the way we don’t make any excuse for a party. We have these times to visit families and have a great time with family and friends.
Alicia House yeah this is more than them not knowing. It feels like they are putting us down for having a holiday that is only celebrated here in the USA . Please don’t talk smack about our holiday. It is as important to us as any other special holidays are for you.
Lmao your explanation of every one of those events are completely off xD if you’ve never been to a thanksgiving, you haven’t a clue what it is. Canned food? People spend a week preparing to make a huge meal for their entire family.
Wyatt Thompson, technically Vikings got here first, but I digress, Christopher Columbus gets the credit. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a remembrance of the celebration feast the pilgrims had after coming to The New World.
i’m sorry but i get triggered when they say “another excuse to party” because we do not have proms, homecomings, thanksgiving, 4th of july, spring break etc. just to have a party. just because it doesn’t mean something to you doesn’t mean you need to talk bad about it and also don’t believe everything you see in american tv. thanks for coming to my ted talk❤️💕🙈🧚🏼♂️
My cranberry sauce is from a can...though that more tradition then lack of trying. It's like cracking that can open means everything is FINALLY done. No one in my family actually like it...lol.
And if my history is right at the time thanksgiving came about when America was just a British colony so that means it was actually brits that started that one...lol
Natalie Pineda One of the earliest versions of french toast has been traced back to the Roman Empire. The name “french toast" was first used in 17th-century England. The recipe - and name - were brought to America by early settlers. In France, the dish is called “pain perdu," meaning “lost bread."
Americans changed the recipe over time to suit there sweet tastebuds and that’s why it’s made different, (America-cinnamon,vanilla) (Scotland/England-salt&pepper,tomato sauce or brown sauce) but it effectively is the same thing Just savoury and sweet versions
Orange Pepe wants a hug which is why she shouldn’t have assumed that ‘it’s all just canned’ 😭. she triggered so many people by saying that bc like i didn’t know turkey came in a can 😭
lmao you guys are killing me with Thanksgiving! As an American I can attest to the fact that almost nothing comes from a can. It's legit a feast. Its a day for remembering the kindness of the Native Americans toward the pilgrims, giving thanks for the blessings we all have in our lives and sort of a family friendly American football party lol! basically every holiday has a coinciding NFL game but Thanksgiving is a holiday with very sincere sentiment for Americans.
@@saratippey769 Most Western Nations celebrate Christmas even though Jesus wasn't born on December 25th and it's based on pagan rituals. We do it because of the sentiment and principles it brings, not because of whether or not the origin is factual.
Well you might get your cranberry sauce out of a can. I don't eat that, don't like it, so i'm not really sure. If you're having corn not on the cob, boiled in a pot of water, that would come in a can. Gravy might come in a can. But you have to get the stuffing correct. Nothing weird. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes (mashed or boiled white potatoes), squash, cranberry sauce, corn, sometimes peas. Might start with some kind of a soup, small salad, celery sticks with cheese on them, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks, olives, Any number of different kinds of bread (cranberry, corn, regular, etc), pie and ice cream for dessert usually apple pie, but any number of different kinds of pies.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States on the 4th Thursday in November. It is a celebration that began with the Pilgrims in Massachusetts giving thanks to God for their blessings. Their first years in the New World were very harsh and the Native Americans did help them survive. However, the first Thanksgiving took place several years after their arrival. The Pilgrims had become successful and their harvest in the fall was so bountiful that they wanted to give thanks to God for all their blessings. As a gesture of goodwill the local Native American tribes were invited to share in their fest. While one could say they were thankful for their help (especially Squanto) the celebration was to thank God. Current Thanksgivings in the US are centered around being thankful for your family, friends, blessing, and God (if you are religious). Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing/dressing, cranberry sauce/jelly and pumpkin pie are traditional foods. Unless you are spending Thanksgiving in an airport or hotel room, NO ONE has food from a can. People spend all day if not all week preparing food based off of family recipes.
Thank you for explaining that to them. We should go to the UK for Thanksgiving and cook a dinner (from scratch, not canned) for them and read the real history.
Thanksgiving’s origins do not start with the natives and pilgrims. Harvest celebrations predate thanksgiving by thousands of years and have been celebrated by all European cultures (Nordic, Slavic, Baltic, Celtic, Anglo, etc...) during the autumn equinox since the beginning of agriculture. I can’t speak to the history of possible Native American harvest festivals but considering all of the crops Amerindians grew such as corn, potato, tomato I’m sure NAs also had harvest festivals during the fall equinoxes for as long as their people had agriculture. Thanksgiving was a continuation of traditional harvest festivals and the thanks given was in the pilgrims appreciation for the natives’ generosity in helping them make it through that first hard season. Typically, during traditional European pagan harvest festivals our ancestors celebrated the gifts of the earth and of the gods and goddesses they believed helped make that earth fruitful. That year, the Native Americans were the biggest and most important part of nature providing. Without them, the pilgrims would have perished. The pilgrims were assimilated into Christianity by this point, as we all know, but it’s easy to see from the continuation of celebrating harvest that their pagan roots never truly died.
Pale Gael Yes, harvest festivals have been around for thousands of years, probably since the beginning of agriculture. But the celebration on the 4th Thursday of November in the United States is in recognition of “The First Thanksgiving” in 1621. Much like Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Carnaval in Rio De Janeiro have their origins in Europe with a feast before the start of Lent.
@@user-ij8hb2nl3b "Remember, remember, the 5th of November; the day of the Gunpowder Plot." 1605 does beat our Pilgrim's Thanksgiving by a wee bit of time. lol
Anthony Medina we lost that conflict because: 1/. we were busy fighting the French in more important places. 2/. It was proving too costly the manage as a colony. Did we really lose? We kept the profitable bits which are bigger (Canada and the Caribbean).
“*insert American word* what is that??? That’s stupid. Classic Americans. We have *insert British version* over here. Hope this doesn’t make you TRIGGERED lololol” hm
@@tangoindiamike9189 I can’t speak for those countries :) I would hope they do! (But I assume it’s not their proudest moment that those people fled their country to help build another one?) I can only speak to my experience as an American.
Yes! I want to educate you because every judgement you made pissed me off. First of all, a "prom" is short for promenade. It is a dance for high school students, usually grades 11 and 12. Prom king and queen really is a popularity contest. My high school did not have prom king and queen, but the rival school across town did. Homecoming is to welcome any former students who might be in town to the football game and the dance afterward. (Most graduates don't go to the dance. We leave it for the current students.) It is to honor those who came before us. Homecoming king and queen is also a popularity contest. We use tailgating in two ways. Number one: following someone too closely in a car. Number two: on a truck, there is a latch that brings the back of the trunk bed flat. That is also called a tailgate. The tailgate is lowered during half-time at a football game, the barbecue is pulled in to the parking lot and hamburgers and/or hot dogs are cooked. Of course, a lot of COLD beer is consumed. Thanksgiving is a holiday set on the fourth Thursday of every November. Therefore, it changes dates every year. Some people now believe it is just a "white" holiday in which the first settlers (the Pilgrims) celebrated the massacre of Native Americans. However, traditional reasons for the holiday are that the Pilgrims were celebrating getting through the first winter in a new land as many died of disease or starvation. A cotillion, coming out party, sweet 16 and debutante are very similar. The cotillion and debutante are the most similar and are held only for the "cream of the crop" and high society. These girls range in age from 16 to 25. It is to bring a young lady in to the high society social circle. (Cotillion is used more in the Southeast Southern States.) A sweet sixteen and coming out party are basically the same, but for the lower class. Do you know what pancakes are? They are made with flour, eggs, milk, sugar, baking powder and salt. Waffles are the same thing, but you add oil to them to make them denser. We have an appliance called a waffle maker that you pour the batter in. They have divots in them to make a pattern. Then you put butter and maple syrup on them when they are cooked. The EGGO is a frozen waffle. Americans (at least older ones!) know what marmalade is! Good god, we're not as stupid as you think. For those of you who don't know, it's like a jelly. Spring break has gotten a BAD reputation! Basically, schools in the U.S. are divided in to four sections of the calendar year, known as quarters. The first quarter is from (from MY experience only!) September through the middle of December. Then it's Christmas vacation for two weeks. Second quarter is from January through the end of March. Spring break is the first week of April. Third quarter is from the second week of April to mid-June. Then we have summer break from mid-June to the end of August which is the fourth quarter. Usually Americans will say 5th grade instead of grade 5. Here's the breakdown: 5-6 is Kindergarten, 6-7 is first grade, 7-8 is 2nd, 8-9 is 3rd, 9-10 is 4th, 10-11 is 5th, 11-12 is 6th, 12-13 is 7th, 13-14 is 8th. Fourteen to 15 is 9th OR a freshman. Fifteen to 16 is 10th grade OR a sophomore. Sixteen to 17 is 11th grade OR a junior. Seventeen to 18 is 12th grade or a senior. It took me about 45 minutes to write this. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Honestly Thank You They Pissed Me Off Like Look It Up Google Is Not That Hard To Use And Why Does It Seem Like All Their Videos Are About Americans And What They Don’t Understand About Us
I think he said that we don’t know what marmite is, not marmalade, its something that we don’t have here in the states. Also, it’s not sweet which is why she said that it would be salty but I think it is the consistency of jelly
I am SO triggered right now? Our holidays are not just an excuse for food. We eat food at most holidays because we like to have conversations and talk about our lives at a nice meal (sometimes it has things to do with religion, too.)Most people don’t use canned things (less fortunate people may have to for prices) and some things are almost specifically canned because you would have to go through a long process to get it yourself. Talking about any country’s holidays with no knowledge about them is a very bad idea in general, and inserting stereotypes is rude in most cases. This is the only video on this channel that has gotten me this angry! You guys did a bad job on this one.
Omg I’m American and the most stupid thing I hear Americans say is triggered. It’s so annoying. Yes we have holidays for more than food, but yes we like to incorporate food simply because we are an obese nation who loves to eat. But I got to say that Americans have way more fun and are way more passionate. Brit’s just seem so boring and uptight.
It's not special and it's not meaningful, the "pilgrims" literally invaded the native American's land, said that it's theirs, and then they had some "PeAcEfUL" feast.
“Americans think 100 years is a long time, Brits think 100 miles is a long way”... the best quote describing major cultural differences between the 2 nations. If you base your thinking geographically, it’s easier to understand American traditions like Thanksgiving, tailgating, homecoming, Spring Break as travel based traditions formed to battle the vast distances in such a large country. It takes much effort and money to visit your family, former classmates, stadiums, and holiday destinations when so much travel is required. Tailgating evolved from the need to be fed during a long trip to the game. Most large stadiums in the south are located in small University towns 100’s of miles from any large town. These small towns don’t have enough restaurants and hotel space for such large crowds. This lack of accommodation forced fans to bring their own food and drink for the day-long, pre-game meal in the parking lot of the stadium known as tailgating. The gathering of fans in the “car park” outside the stadium has grown to most college and professional football teams regardless of the need to Bring your own food. Homecoming is another answer to the hassle of travel. Because so many alumni have spread out away from their colleges to all corners of the country it is easy to lose the connection with your college and college friends. Once in the fall and once in the spring the college hosts homecoming events to reconnect alumni to the current faculty and students. Different college clubs, social org, and fraternal groups usually have week long activities as well for their former members. Homecoming gives alumni a chance to revisit old college friends and see the positive changes the school has made. It also gives the school a chance to fundraise towards the returning alumni who should have much more money to give with jobs earned with the help of the schools degree. USA universities are funded largely through donation. High Schools have just copied this tradition but on a much smaller and localized scale, usually involving former students within the same city. Spring Break is a “rite of passage” for high school and college students to “holiday” away from their parents for a week for the first time. This usually involves many inland students driving hundreds if not thousands of miles to warmer climates, usually the beach. Remember, most American students don’t get the opportunity to travel to different places much less different countries on the weekend like Europeans. Spring Break lets young people borrow the parents car, pack it full of friends and unsavory items and road trip to a warm place and party with barely clothed members of the opposite sex unsupervised. What’s not to like? Traveling for Americans is a much bigger commitment than for most Brits. If you want to get out of town and visit new places it requires a car full of gas, a huge chunk out of the calendar, and a pretty good reason. As an American, unless you live in the northeast along the coast, your spending a good portion of your life in a car going places instead of actually being places. Most of our culture and practices are manifested from dealing with the large size of America. As with the UK, so much of the culture and practices is manifested by the vast history of the country.
Gosh, Coffee, that's the most rounded reason I have ever heard for our group of holidays and parties. As each holiday was mentioned I kept thinking, "well, no, that's important to us because it commemorated our first winter in the new land; or "Tailgating? It is a party that grew out of the mob collective just like mardi gras." I kept explaining each one in my head. I now bow to your superior answer!! Thank you!
*bursts out laughing* sorry, that was just too funny I mean no offense to the British in my outburst of laughter by any means but back in the 1600s to the early 1700s, you guys were pretty tough on us!
Pretty much, but also to celebrate the end of the harvest season. It was the Pilgrims being thankful for a bountiful harvest so they had enough food to last the rest of the year.
Not all-together true...the infamous green bean casserole, beloved by many for Thanksgiving, came from a Campbell's soup recipe and revolves around canned cream of mushroom soup. And canned cranberry sauce is still popular, as are canned sweet potatoes to make that casserole. And then there's canned pumpkin for the pie, with also uses canned evaporated milk. So, yes, canned things are eaten at some Thanksgiving dinners.
Haha! That was a staple at our family table as well, the can-ring shape used for easy slicing. I know a lot of people who say they hate cranberry sauce because they grew pu with the canned version which is kind of grainy and flavorless, but I remember liking it as a kid. As an adult I find it too sweet. Once I learned how easy it was to make my own sauce, I never went back to the can. Every year I try a different, cranberry sauce flavor profile like "Apple cider" or "dried cherries and port." That said, I'm not so sure our Brits would like cranberry sauce homemade or from a can. It's one of those things that's hard to like if you don't grow up with it. Visitors from abroad often dislike it or just don't know what to make of it. But it's one of the things that makes Thanksgiving more of an American holiday than even the 4th of July-the fact that so many of the foods served are native to America, like cranberries, corn, turkey, pumpkin, etc.
@@Charlotte-ci4is Most months, yes. Some holidays are going to be a bigger deal to some people. Different religions are going to celebrate differences religious holidays/festivals/feasts (Christmas/Easter, Passover/Hannukah, Ramadan...). Isn't the New Year celebrated by the majority of people in the world in some capacity? Holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day in secular culture are more minor holidays. 4th of July is our Independence Day. Thanksgiving is a national holiday. We celebrate thankfulness, and it's generally a big family-oriented holiday. From what they taught us in Elementary school, we celebrate it because Native Americans (I'm so sorry that the exact tribe isn't coming to mind at the moment) and Pilgrims came together. They shared food and drink. Essentially, the Native Americans saved the Pilgrims from all dying out. So many did die. Yes! We like to celebrate! We love being happy.
American here, born and raised, and I have NEVER heard of anyone putting ketchup on french toast. That's just morally wrong. It's syrup or nutella, but never ketchup.
Tailgating also means the same thing they mentioned in the video: following too closely behind somebody. At least it meant that where I grew up in Texas.
Agreed but, based in my experience in the uk that I basically lived in my whole life before i moved in america 3 years ago. British people are more proper. We have to many breaks so we get to travel more in the uk than the us. Schools in the uk have more breaks so we get to party with friends all the time and we do our own parties. Since England had many cultures each person or groups have their own things to celebrate about so we get to do our own thing so...
“Why do you need a holiday to grateful?” There are so many reasons to be grateful, why not celebrate it with friends and family. Also on Thanksgiving no one has canned food. Actually it’s the opposite, it’s all great home-cooked dishes. It’s about his being grateful for what we have and our country. It’s a very important holiday. (There is a ton of history behind it, and I’m not gonna go into that but you get the main idea)
Ceri-Noel J you’d be hard pressed to find somebody in America who genuinely celebrates thanksgiving like that. That’s like saying atheists celebrate Christmas as Jesus’ birthday. It’s not how they view it
Autumn Rose I just wanted to kindly point out that cmilliVOL was actually agreeing with you. Her reply was directed at Ceri-Noel J, and she was essentially saying that no American celebrates Thanksgiving as a day representing the genocide of Native Americans, basically just reiterating how ridiculous it was for anyone to even mention two very separate things having anything to do with one another. Thanksgiving is celebrated by giving thanks for the blessings we have, it has absolutely nothing to do with genocide, and I am in full agreement with your comment as well. Anyways, again, I just wanted to kindly mention that cmilliVOL’s comment wasn’t directed towards you. God bless! 😊💕
You do realize the pilgrams were the first to celebrate thanksgiving when they came to America...And get this..The pilgrams were from the UK...Good lord...
@Oh yeah yeah Sergent dre thanksgiving is a fall harvest festival brought to the colonies by thankful pilgrims that they survived a harsh year in their new home they held a harvest festival like the ones they remembered from home back in the UK .... natives never had a thanksgiving festival they had a type of celebration that lasted around 3 days in like july to celebrate the corn ripening closest thing they had
why are these people so petty? I’m usually not easily offended but maybe instead of belittling our traditions with no knowledge about them, they could have a little respect for other nations and do some research to better understand them (and maybe learn a little about our cultural differences along the way). How would they feel if an American made a video about a holiday that means a lot to Brits that isn’t celebrated in the US and bashed it simply because they didn’t understand why it was celebrated?
Gillian Bandy yea well we don’t do that. We wouldn’t make videos about someone else’s culture and then bash it just because we don’t know anything about it.
They’re not bashing, they’re pleading their ignorance of our customs and traditions and making guesses based on incomplete information or wrong information. It’s meant to be light hearted and fun. And it’s meant to help them learn about us while they playfully teach us about them!
I love Thanksgiving- I cook everything from scratch, set the table with your best china and goblets-the entire family comes over, play board games-- share time together
1. Prom is the biggest dance in high school. You seem to have a pretty good idea of what Prom King and Queen is. 2. Homecoming is a huge football game and then a dance. 3. A tailgate party usually happens in a parking lot or an empty lot you would open your trunk or put down your tailgate and put food and drinks out and just have fun. 4. Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November it revolves around a celebration between American settlers and natives. Thanksgiving food is NEVER canned. 6. Eggos are just a brand of pancakes and waffles that you can cook in the toaster. 7. We call that French Toast. 8. Spring break is the week we get off school for Easter, it became more of a party holiday because of MTV. A freshman is someone who is in their first year of high school, usually between the age of 14 and 15.
Whomst'd've Thanksgiving (USA) is always the 4th Thursday of November. (Because November has 30 days, some years there are 5 Thursdays in November. On one of those years, showing up on the last Thursday would have you arriving a full week too late.) --Peace
Our French Toast is made with day old white bread left out overnight to get extra dry to soak up more egg mixture. After cooking you /we would put either powdered sugar or maple syrup on it. Then a big glass of ice cold milk along with it. In my old age I've taken to adding two or three ice cubs to the glass of milk so it's ice cold to the end mmmmm .
In very small towns they will have a homecoming town party in addition to the football game and dance. The town I grew up in we had a 3 day block party with games and food ect...
Kacie Torres brits don’t eat a lot of sugar products though for breakfast like most Americans. They eat more balanced meals and such. If they were to add syrup it would become a dessert to them not a meal or snack. I hope that makes since 😬
Thanksgiving is NOT NOT NOT canned. gasp! everything must be cooked from scratch unless you're a complete low-life. Traditionally, we cook a big turkey and a bunch of sides and deserts (pumpkin pie is a must) and spend time with whole big extended family. It is a fall harvest festival, but specifically derived from pilgrims being saved from starvation by Native Americans teaching them how to farm in North America with corn, beans, squashes (pre-Columbian North American crops). Even the turkey is a native North American bird.
As a Brit not trying to be rude here but I most of that is what British people do for Christmas so what she saying is why do you need to have two christmases just one with a different name
Rude much? You're a low life if you us canned goods? Sorry if I was making $6.50 an hour and couldn't afford fresh anything. Sorry if I was a nursing student living halfway across the United States away from my family and couldn't afford anything. God you are so out of touch with reality, you're the low life.
While Thanksgiving is ostensibly about the Pilgrims, it was really about the American Civil War. Abraham Lincoln designated a special day in November as a national holiday in order to give thanks to God for his blessings on the Union. It's also called Turkey Day since it almost always involves cooking a turkey, with dressing, cranberry sauce, etc.
Uh...speak fo' yo' self If it still tastes alright, I'll use caned ingredients. Besides, you supposed to make cream of mushroom soup from scratch for the Green Bean Casserole? What about the french fried onions for the top of it?
Well green bean casserole and french fried onions are not traditional thanksgiving food, that's something that you find more regional and on a family-to-family basic, but yes some people do make those from scratch. Either way yes, some people use canned stuff, but a very large portion of the population does not, especially in the south. I'd prefer homemade over canned any day, but in the video they make it sound like everything is canned and I don't know anyone who has canned everything (although I wouldn't be surprised if there's some people who do...)
Who would face their nearest and dearest with canned food. I would have no self respect or dignity left if I didn't make my items for thanksgiving. I also can't imagine 'green bean casserole' for Thanksgiving. I have had it at potlucks before and it is a cheap filler dish that would have no place on a Thanksgiving Table.
A quarter century ago we let the mother bring the pies. The woman had the unmitigated gall to bring store bought pies. I will make sure she goes to her grave unable to live that down. It isn't that hard to mix the filling for a Pumpkin pie for crying out loud. Even use a couple of different spice combinations to suite various people. Homemade Apple pie is a delight beyond compare. How bloody hard is it to whip cream? If it is too hard for one to make a crust one could use Crisco instead of lard and/or butter.
Prom started off as the last dance for seniors the last week of school. Homecoming was the first month of school dance. Homecoming from college is what you're talking about. Tailgate is pregaming before the game. Where we drink for cheaper before you pay for more expensive beer in the game. We home make food for Thanksgiving.
@Midnight Shine no he discovered a chunk of land that he didn't care about. Christopher Columbus is what discovered American, he is what started the country
Hey guys. Homecoming is usually a dance for current students the Saturday after the teams “home” game on Friday. It’s usually earlier in the year around September. It’s not a reunion. Once you graduate you don’t go.
Yes, this is what I understand. By the way most American’s had homecoming with little notion of what or why. It was a 1940s/ 50s thing we in the 80s felt to be nostalgic- when the football team came back from road games for the final home game
Not true; the school tries to make alumni come to the football game. Not that that would ever actually happen unless they are giving away prizes or something, or making a big deal about "20th anniversary of school opening", or it's one of those weird non-high-school high schools that apparently exists in urban cities that is basically pretending to be a college and if that also resulted in "specialty friends" similar to how a Moose Lodge or the Magridals would.
@@wayneweaver1824 I'm not triggered I just think that they're ignorant when it comes to Americans I think that they should actually go to America or talk to Americans or whatever just kind of research before they spew anything that is completely wrong and everything by the way but I'm not triggered at all I guess maybe I just don't get upset that easily it just makes me laugh at how wrong they are
@@RE-bg9ds Apparently you forgot to do your research. When they say that Americans will find any excuse for a holiday, they're absolutely right. Unless you really think we need a holiday for a rodent. You know, Groundhog's Day. Or maybe we really do need a holiday on the 5th of July called National Bikini Day. Don't forget to celebrate them plants on Arbor Day. They'll feel discriminated against.
@@chb2551 yeah but they're not talking about those stupid ridiculous little ones that nobody thinks should be holidays they're talking about Thanksgiving and all that stuff so whatever you can think whatever you want and I'm entitled to think whatever I want but don't come at me like that again
Eggy bread and French toast can be used interchangeably since, as far as I know, they are the same thing. "Eggy bread" seems to be primarily used by the English.
Krista Ricks it happens on the 4th Thursday of November, after which the official “Christmas shopping season” begins. The next day, a Friday, is called “Black Friday, because in the old days when bookkeeping ledgers were written by hand, red meant no profit and black meant profit. Many stores finally got out of “being in the red (no profit)” on the Friday after Thanksgiving day was first Christmas shopping day- that’s how it got the name “Black Friday”.
Krista Ricks Currently it’s usually celebrated with immediate family, parents, grandparents and the food is primarily made from scratch. There are parades and football games on TV. Afterward the Christmas season opens.
Smh "With the help of native Americans"?? Native Americans were killed, raped, and used as slaves. Think about it, how would you feel if isis celebrated 9/11 with food and drinks... that is messed up. Don't you Think?
Hollywood Sunset The reason that it's celebrated the way it is currently, is due to the fact that the genocide of the Native population after the Caucasians came to the land in bigger force is a point in history that the larger amount of the American population don't want to remember! So they have changed what should of been a holiday thanking the Native people for helping them to survive, into something that is more suited to their not wanting to feel guilty about almost wiping out the indigenous population!! If that is too much truth for you to handle hmmm well. For alot of indigenous people like myself, it's a very much hated holiday!!!
Couldn’t you live without prom? What’s so important about it anyway? No I’m not bri’ish I’m American and I still don’t get what’s so important about it
The food made on thanksgiving is most definitely not “canned”. My mom, my grandma, and aunts all prepare food days in advance. I can’t speak for other people but I have never been to a thanksgiving with canned food. Please fact check.
I'm trying hard not to be offended by wht they have said in this video. I feel like b4 a video is made they should research the meaning behind the things being questioned before they purposely offend all Americans .
I have thick skin so it takes a lot to really rile me up but telling us to move Thanksgiving to another month, wow I just flew right off the rails hearing that
I didn't fly off the rails; I just laughed because it was such a ridiculous suggestion. Thanksgiving is basically a harvest celebration and July is a bit early for the harvest.
We call it French toast here in Canada and put butter and maple syrup on it. Tastes a lot like desert or a candy but it will fill you up and give you lots of energy. If you are too cheap to buy maple syrup (which is very expensive) we sometimes throw some Aunt Jemima syrup on there instead. Did you guys want to know why maple syrup is so expensive? It is because it takes 40 liters of sap to make 1 liter of maple syrup. It takes a lot of work and energy because of that 40:1 ratio. My cousin owns a maple sugar shack and is very busy out there from December to April. Firewood to get in, sap lines to repair, old taps to remove and new holes to be drilled in the trees as you can't use the old holes from the previous year and cleaning of the boilers. The sap lines are the most work because we have to snowshoe through deep snow to work on them and it's a steep mountain hill plus we are carrying buckets full of heavy tools and supplies to repair any broken sap lines. I don't know if any of you have ever snow shoed through fresh snow but it's about as difficult as jogging at a high speed plus carrying 50 lbs of tools/supplies at the same time, ducking and stepping over the numerous sap lines and going up a steep hill...super difficult. I was out of shape one year and went there to work and almost passed out from exhaustion. Very strenuous work. So the next time you complain about the price of maple syrup, think about the work needed to harvest the sap and the energy needed to boil it down with that 40:1 sap to syrup ratio.
“…they are explaining homecoming as a reunion…” Well, it is a reunion, so they got that right. Has nothing to do about football- the two things merely happen at the same time, but are different. Schools without football will,often have homecoming.
@@mattslupek7988 '''...called the Homecoming game..." Look, it is only called 'the Homecoming game' because of it taking place during Homecoming --- which is NOT a game. There is a difference. 🤦♀
Highschool's in America ages: Senior age: 18 Junior age: 17 Sophomore age: 16 Freshman age: 15 In high school, the homecoming game celebrates the careers of the senior high school athletes, normally the football players. It's what we do for the senior because it's going to be there last year to play there sport until college. Than the graduate than go to college. Prom is like a celebration of your last year in highschool, we dance have fun than go to the after party. Than go home around 3am😂 I hope this helps you.
Difference in areas. Agree with prom except for us it combines junior and senior class. The junior class hosts the party for the senior class. We raise money selling junk from our 7th grade year to junior to pay for it. Homecoming is for alumni. When we "all" come back for one game. (Football for us but I know some smaller schools have it for basketball that dont have football.) We have senior night for every sport to celebrate the seniors. Normally the last home game of the year.
Eggo= just a brand of frozen waffles French toast= Eggie bread Prom is only for juniors and seniors which is the last two years of high school Homecoming= football game at beginning of year, a day for graduated students to come back , BUT NONE DO. That’s a big point, literally none come. Thanksgiving= a day to celebrate the things your thankful during the year. You specifically DONT have canned food on that day. It’s a big HOMEMADE day. Also, it’s supposed to be celebrating the meal the pilgrims had with the Native Americans when they first got there but we all know how that went Tailgating: basically, in small town football games, people will park in the school parking lot and cookout or grill. This is for before the game starts. You can have your dinner without having to pay for the inside food and you can meet up with your friends and talk before the game starts. For college games, it’s a lot of sorority and frat activities and contests. For the NFL, it’s not as common I think Debutante and Cal-... idk: these balls don’t exist from my point of view? Don’t trust Hollywood for information, I work in the yard during spring break and some people go to England with their family and woah spring break is a week, summer break is around two months. During summer break, we binge watch tv and prepare ourselves for prison
That's not what homecoming is. She was right it is connected to football. It is a dance the Saturday night after the first home football game of the season which would be played on that Friday night. King and queen... yes a popularity contest.
Brenda Amira I said it was s football game? But yeah also a dance. I just didn’t say dance because my school isn’t having one this year and I forgot that we usually do
Damn as an American, I feel real attacked lol, idk where they're getting their information from but it's really innacurate. Maybe collab with an American RUclipsr that's either in London or through Skype or something? (I don't even know if people use Skype anymore). The definition and the reactions make us look really foolish, like I get it's a different culture so it's a bit confusing, but maybe do a little more research or ask an actual American and maybe you won't have such an offputting response.
I'm sure they're faking ignorance so that they can throw insults and rake in views. I apologise and promise most Brits are not like this! Really sorry, these two are horrid and dont represent the UK.
Yea Prom and homecoming king and queen isn't actually that serious, of course movies portraying that way to make a storyline more interesting but in reality it's just a fun School event. Not all schools do prom king and queen either but mine did and it was just a funny thing no one took it seriously.
@@ronswanson3536 My school did homecoming queen only and prom king only. it was lame but they were trying to do some equal thing that the senior class wasn't all too happy about.
Honestly tho it’s where the whole meal is home cooked. My grandmas makes some of the best homecooked classic thanksgiving food with many Filipino dishes as well.
Thing is, America has no culture, mostly because you're not culturally one country. You're lots of little countries each with it's own culture. There is no 'American culture', there's a Southern Culture, a West Coast culture etc
AeneasGemini Disagree. That’s actually the beautiful thing about America. Those mini cultures are all AMERICAN. None of that bullshit dominant homogeneous bullshit
It's very true but that's not always a bad thing. We are more free to do what we want and I want to party. I need a break from all the crazy shit that happens here everyday.
Thanksgiving is a celebration of the first harvest in America. Settlers learned much from the natives to survive and it’s a coming together around the abundance of food they shared. Ever in the states for Thanksgiving??? Come to our house! You won’t find a box or can if food anywhere near my kitchen!❤️
Yes, it's about celebrating the harvest, but wasn't a holiday until the 1940s. It was meant to be a holiday separate from Christmas, which is materialistic. Thanksgiving is meant to be a day for family to come together and spend a day that isnt about gifts
And it used to be in October, which was the end of the harvest. But it was moved to the end of November to link it to Christmas, I think. Canada still does October Thanksgiving.
Car Boot Sales are called Flea Markets in the US. I laughed at you guys so much. Thanksgiving is the most common American holiday that crosses most cultures. It's very important time for visiting distant families and eating food, especially turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey gravy with other hot dishes.
Camilla Rose I think that they think they are a few of the few that are attractive in the UK fighting for attention in their videos. I myself don't like either.
I've never heard anyone refer to Thanksgiving as a 'party'. That was so funny to me🤣 We just call it Thanksgiving dinner. 9th grade = Freshman 10th grade = Sophomore 11th grade = Junior 12th grade = Senior Cargate sale = Garage Sale Only we dont drive anywhere to sell our things, you just set it all out in the driveway or sidewalk and people will drive/walk by to purchase.
I LOVE THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THANKSGIVING! It cracks me up :) Because it celebrates America's history (however accurate...) so the fact that it offends any British people is hilarious.
"Eggy bread" is called French toast. You mix in a drop of vanilla to the egg before beating it. After cooking in in the pan, you top it with maple syrup and melted butter.
Not the first home game... It's a home football game in which they invite back alumni and former school faculty. They do things to make it a bit bigger/better/more grand... Perhaps a parade, fireworks, huge bonfire (Possibly burning their rival's effigy) or party. The party for highschool is the homecoming dance. The king & queen are basically the most popular Senior Classman (Possibly prince and princesses for each lower class)... For colleges, it can be a huge tailgate party & boozefest.
It’s more often the last football game at home before any tournaments. Usually falls in our winter months and is a sort of winter party for high schoolers.
LOL We can't even agree on what it's supposed to represent. So, we need it for what reason again? Or is it just like they said, another unnecessary celebration used as an excuse for partying? It's not like we go out and have a homecoming for every national football team as well.
Kindgarten - 5 years old 1st grade - 6 years old 2nd grade 7 years old 3rd grade - 8 years old 4th grade - 9 years old 5th grade - 10 years old 6th grade - 11 years old (can be called middle school or junior high depending on region) 7th grade - 12 years old (can be called middle school or junior high depending on region) 8th grade - 13 years old (can be called middle school or junior high depending on region) 9th grade Freshman - 14 years old 10th grade Sophomore - 15 years old 11th grade Junior - 16 years old 12th grade Senior - 17 years old The ages are approximate. Some people may be slightly older or younger depending on their birthday, but this is the general layout of ages/grades.
brack0609 just to add on to your list...grades 9 thru 12 are considered high school or senior high school. Grades kindergarten thru 5 are considered elementary school. And where I'm from (Guam) there's also headstart or pre-kindergarten levels before kindergarten.
The years of high school can really vary too. When I went to high school in the 80s, it was (mostly) 8th-12th grade, which was unusual and so the 8th graders were called 'sub-freshman' (which I always thought sounded like subhuman). Then, when I was a Junior (11th grader), our school became a 'Senior High School' and it was converted to 10th-12th grade and another school became our 'Junior High School' (or Middle School) for the 7th-9th graders in the area. Whereas, other people I've known had either Elementary school from 1st-8th grade and then High School from 9th to 12th or had Middle School/Junior High in the middle of that (from 5th to 7th, maybe?). It's all so varied. Even in my city, it varied from county to county in many cases (and that's not even counting that some schools were on the quarter system -- like my school -- and some were on the semester system). Oh, America! :)
It depends on where you are from. Some schools consider k-6 elementary school. My school had elementary school from k-4, middle school from 5-8, and high school from 9-12.
+Nicole Mazza Ah, all of my schools were K-8, then high school was 9-12. My high school did have a middle school and grade school (Elementary) attached but I didn't go to them since I moved from somewhere else.
Where are you getting your information from? Its all wrong. Prom is a formal party at the end of high school, the last big hurrah with your friends. Its formal dress, eating out at a nice restaurant with your friends, a dance, then you change and have an after party at a friends' house. Cotillion is a debutante ball. Its really old fashioned snd generally in the South. Its where a girl is presented to society for what used to be looking for a husband. I think its just another excuse for a party now. A sweet sixteen is similar to a debutante ball, held on the sixteenth nirthday. Its usually not that big a deal though. However, with the popularity of Quinceanera for a Spanish girl's 15th birthday, Sweet Sixteens are becoming more popular again. Thanksgiving goes back to the colonial era in history. In the early 1600s, many people died of starvation if there were not enough crops grown to last through the New England winter. There was a great harvest that year, and Native Americans and Pilgrims celebrated the bountiful harvest that would see them through the winter. Everyone came together and gave thanks. Traditional foods that were supposedly at the first Thanksgiving were turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, and I think cranberries. These foods are generally eaten for modern Thanksgiving, too. Also, you get the BEST food where EVERYTHING is made from scratch, nothing is from a can. The interesting thing is that festivals of Thanksgiving originate in England. I guess you guys lost that. Homecoming is a football celebration after an away game, when the team comes back to their home field. There is usually a semi-formal dress dance after a high school homecoming game. Spring break is a school break in the Spring where people go on vacation. Tailgating is people gettinv together before as football game, hanging out and barbecueing in the parking lot. Some people really get into it with outdoor tvs, dressing up in team merchandise and RVs.
Eggnog is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks. It's drank during Christmastime. Also, sometimes people put alcohol (rum, brandy, or whiskey) in it. Apparently it originated in the UK! 😄
lorie langlinais The UK has only had prom for about 10 years okay chill and we definitely change how prom works because in the UK prom is when you get hammered and absolutely drunk you party with your mates and get laid this being at 16 😂😂
lorie langlinais I was saying chill not for the prom thing but just because you did a lot of typing I’m not saying you did a bad thing 😉 I’m just saying maybe not read into it as much
My parents told me I couldn't go to prom even if I was invited because it was too expensive. Ticket price for a couple was equivalent to matinee prices for Broadway shows (orchestra seats), then the gown, hairdresser, boutonniere for the boy (who had to rent a tuxedo and buy a corsage for the girl), limo (cost split between 3 couples), after party (at a bar in NYC), and after after party lasting until about 6AM the following morning... Prom gowns are more contemporary in design than traditional bridesmaids' gowns (i.e., more like Lia's mates' gowns). In today's coin it would be about US$1000 per person to attend my high school's prom. Nowadays there's the big Promposal (which I don't get), but kids drive their own cars, you don't need to go as couples (or boy-girl couples), and there's a wider variety of appropriate dress. Sweet Sixteen goes back to the time of formal dating (boy asks girl, boy meets girl's parents when picking her up, they go out for dinner and/or a movie, she gets back home by 10 or 11 at night, he sees her to the door and tries to get a chaste kiss). Most girls were not allowed to formally date until they turned 16. (Before that age, they might be allowed to hang out in groups, but not single-date.) It may also have roots in the era when girls frequently left school at 14, married at 16, and started a family right away. When I turned 16, it was a big party with lots of guests your own age, but not the sort of formal event at a reception hall (party room at an expensive restaurant) that it might have been in the 1950s or that it is today. Quinceañera is the Latin-American version, again a coming-of-age party for a girl. Both of these are nonreligious parties that replace and/or complement celebrations for religious coming-of-age rituals (Bar Mitzvah, Confirmation, etc.). Debutante balls are specific to a class of people (subset of the Social Register) and depending on the area could be one ball for all debutantes, one ball for each debutante that year, or a season of balls at which that year's debutantes are expected to attend. They seem to have originally been designed as a marriage mart, but I'm not sure about today (I'm not in that social class).
How? Lmao they nailed it pretty much though the foods not always canned but that's a very good assumption, I'm American but Thanksgiving is like...how could you get offended by it?😂
Dylan Watersnake because thanksgiving is very important to a lot of Americans and symbolizes our nation really coming together other then the Fourth of July and other holidays

Thanksgiving is based on an historical event at the end of the first year of the Plymouth colony. It was a day of praise to God for surviving that year. It has been a bit abused and now centers around lots of HOMECOOKED food and football.

Unless it's cranberry sauce. That's acceptable from a can. Nothing else though.
Nope, you're probably right, especially if it were to Thanksgiving with MY family!! We are descended from a long line of good Southern cooks, so it would never even enter any of our heads to bring canned foods!!!!

"4th of July. What's that? Another party."
It's only the first ever US party.
We liked the idea of it so much we decided to do it every year.
With sky fire and explosions.
Thanksgiving came before the 4th... 😉
Heather Claypool I thought Thanksgiving was a seasonal harvest celebration not limited to the US. I was going with US specific celebrations.
The first Thanksgiving was in the 1600's and while the not-so-pretty side of it has come out in more recent times, the story goes that the European settlers had a meal with the Native Americans in celebration of shared peace and a good harvest. The 4th of July/American independence didn't happen until the following century. ;)
Heather Claypool Ok. I know the history of the Thanksgiving the US celebrates. However, the US isnt the only nation that celebrates it, and when the European settlers did celebrate it when they first got to North America, they were still....European.
They hadn't "declared their independence" as an organization of unified states yet.
So, again, I was going with US specific celebrations.
Not trying to debate this ad nauseam, but all I was attempting to convey is that the first legit USA celebration was the 4th of July because it was literally us saying, "Here we are."
thebenforever, Canada has a Thanksgiving, but they celebrate it in October. Many cultures have had “thanksgiving” at times, but it’s not a yearly thing, or as big an Occasion as 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦.
I've never had canned food at thanksgiving in my life. It's literally a holiday excuse to ACTUALLY cook.
same here Never canned
@@carolesherk4891 Not even the cranberry sauce/jelly?
Many people prefer the CANNED cranberry sauce! But the rest of thanksgiving is all home made.
Chris Lanham me either. Except cranberry
How about the olives?
There ain’t ever canned food on a thanksgiving day table most people spend all day cooking
Cooper King13 the only thing canned that for me would be ok to bring are canned smoked oysters, everything else is fresh and homemade. These two are dimwits.
Sean Beckerer you say “are you for real?” To chastise somebody’s tradition, And in the next breath tell somebody else “just because your family...” 🤔 cognitive dissonance much? Just because some Americans might used canned food (although I don’t know where you would find canned turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc) hardly means it’s worth of comment on this video. Hundreds of thousands of Americans (it not more) spend all day, or even all week cooking from scratch for the day.
Sean Beckerer there are roughly 328 million people in this country. If 1% of them cook all day from scratch for thanksgiving “hundreds of thousands” would be grossly UNDERestimating the number of those that do.
Don’t say naughty to mean ‘bad’ in the US with other adults, we use it only in a sexual context
Jaurica-Lynn Belidesz hmmm not necessarily ... but your mind is in the gutter ... 🤣
sacredweeds idk, I agree. I have never heard someone here use that word in a non-sexual context. We just say bad.
Well I agree with sacredweeds in that we use it in a nonsexual way. Like "Oh! Were you being naughty? Now you have to clean up that crayon you drew all over the closet wall!" to a five year old. Or "He's a naughty little cat. Always getting into the cupboard and pushing all the dishes out." Of course when speaking of adults, in many situations, it has an entirely different context! But I highly doubt you've truly /never/ heard the word used in a nonsexual way! Most likely you just don't personally it that way, and perhaps your friends don'treally either.
Also, I kinda felt like Joel & Lia were hinting at that just a tad, but it felt more implied. Perhaps that was just me? I know that they tend to say "naughty" to mean "bad" but they don't /only/ use it in that way :)
I don’t think so. A dog or a child can be naughty. Or having one more drink when you don’t need it is naughty.
Yeah, like if I said "That's naughty" instead of "That's bad" in my 8th grade class, everyone would be thinking dirty lol

Yeah they were acting all disgusted an American tradition saying that we use any excuse to throw a party.

And Thanksgiving is a day of remembering everything that you're thankful for in this world and coming together with your family.

No. Most of Thanksgiving is not canned. That's where all the relatives bring out their A-game.
That's the one dinner nothing is canned in our house. #homemade
This! This is the truth! The only thing I have ever seen canned at thanksgiving was cranberries. And that was only once when my cousin's boyfriend was in charge of cranberries.... he didn't last long in the family after that. Haha
Here in Massachusetts, canned jellied cranberry sauce by Ocean Spray is a favorite must at Thanksgiving dinner.
So true! I prefer Thanksgiving to Christmas. All the best parts of Christmas, food, friends, family, without the financial stress of gift giving. Thanksgiving is my favorite meal and holiday!
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October. All home made turkey stuffing potatoes turnip and green beans mmmmmmm. Eggos are frozen waffels you toast and put butter and syrup. Ewwww eggie bread is our french toast we eat with syrup but NEVER ketchup. Yuck!!!!
Spring break is a time for kids to just take a break from school sort of like a breather
School works different in the other half of the world.
Murphie_wdwlimelight yes I know they work differently I was just trying to tell them what spring break is for Texans
When I was young the spring break was a time to help your farmer parents. I think there was one in the fall for the same reason.
It’s traditionally the week before Easter, just a week off school in the spring for kids in school. Only some High School kids go to beaches and party and get super crazy so those destinations started having big Spring Break themed parties and putting it on tv to make people want to go to their location.
It's also a time when families go on vacation together. Not just partying.
Thanksgiving is not canned stuff. People literally cook for hours for there family’s. By the way we don’t make any excuse for a party. We have these times to visit families and have a great time with family and friends.
Alicia House yeah this is more than them not knowing. It feels like they are putting us down for having a holiday that is only celebrated here in the USA . Please don’t talk smack about our holiday. It is as important to us as any other special holidays are for you.
Facts
Lora 100 I don’t think brits have any special holiday
Yeah it a food manifest and an excuse to Exercise. Bit
Which is an excuse for partying.
Lmao your explanation of every one of those events are completely off xD if you’ve never been to a thanksgiving, you haven’t a clue what it is. Canned food? People spend a week preparing to make a huge meal for their entire family.
Yeah, I clutched my pearls over that one! 😆 DAYS of cooking and baking, all for one dinner. Cans, psssh.
Cooking for days and she thinks we eat canned foods.
My family is from the South, and if you show up with canned anything, yeah it will not be pretty.
Wyatt Thompson it’s not about Columbus it’s about the pilgrims which were founders of America
Wyatt Thompson, technically Vikings got here first, but I digress, Christopher Columbus gets the credit. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a remembrance of the celebration feast the pilgrims had after coming to The New World.
i’m sorry but i get triggered when they say “another excuse to party” because we do not have proms, homecomings, thanksgiving, 4th of july, spring break etc. just to have a party. just because it doesn’t mean something to you doesn’t mean you need to talk bad about it and also don’t believe everything you see in american tv. thanks for coming to my ted talk❤️💕🙈🧚🏼♂️

It's where ur with ur family and u make HOMEMADE food for a celebration!
My cranberry sauce is from a can...though that more tradition then lack of trying.

Thanksgiving is total bullshit though (I'm American btw) it's fun but the whole reason is pretty not true as far as I know
Dylan Watersnake ur a ball of ass it’s the celebration of giving thanks and for the Indians
And if my history is right at the time thanksgiving came about when America was just a British colony so that means it was actually brits that started that one...lol
Im dying when she started explaining what eggy bread is 😂😂😂 like that’s literally French toast 🤣
Natalie Pineda
One of the earliest versions of french toast has been traced back to the Roman Empire. The name “french toast" was first used in 17th-century England. The recipe - and name - were brought to America by early settlers. In France, the dish is called “pain perdu," meaning “lost bread."
Americans changed the recipe over time to suit there sweet tastebuds and that’s why it’s made different, (America-cinnamon,vanilla) (Scotland/England-salt&pepper,tomato sauce or brown sauce) but it effectively is the same thing Just savoury and sweet versions
Paige Steele okay I was just saying that we call it French toast I didn’t say we invented this
Natalie Pineda I know, i didn’t mean to sound like I was correcting you, I was just clearing up that it is the same thing just different names for it
Paige Steele oh okay
They have no idea what thanksgiving is😭🤦🏾♂️
Jayden Parris No one outside of the US celebrates it or even knows what it is
Orange Pepe wants a hug which is why she shouldn’t have assumed that ‘it’s all just canned’ 😭. she triggered so many people by saying that bc like i didn’t know turkey came in a can 😭
@@orangepepe9531 Canada has Thanksgiving in like October
We dont have that in the uk
yeah and they are british supposedly
lmao you guys are killing me with Thanksgiving! As an American I can attest to the fact that almost nothing comes from a can. It's legit a feast. Its a day for remembering the kindness of the Native Americans toward the pilgrims, giving thanks for the blessings we all have in our lives and sort of a family friendly American football party lol! basically every holiday has a coinciding NFL game but Thanksgiving is a holiday with very sincere sentiment for Americans.
It's also 100% a lie.
@@saratippey769 Most Western Nations celebrate Christmas even though Jesus wasn't born on December 25th and it's based on pagan rituals. We do it because of the sentiment and principles it brings, not because of whether or not the origin is factual.
@@saratippey769 The pilgrims didn't eat?
Well thanksgiving has a lot more meaning around here Boston/Plymouth than it does in say L.A.
Well you might get your cranberry sauce out of a can. I don't eat that, don't like it, so i'm not really sure. If you're having corn not on the cob, boiled in a pot of water, that would come in a can. Gravy might come in a can. But you have to get the stuffing correct. Nothing weird. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes (mashed or boiled white potatoes), squash, cranberry sauce, corn, sometimes peas. Might start with some kind of a soup, small salad, celery sticks with cheese on them, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks, olives, Any number of different kinds of bread (cranberry, corn, regular, etc), pie and ice cream for dessert usually apple pie, but any number of different kinds of pies.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States on the 4th Thursday in November. It is a celebration that began with the Pilgrims in Massachusetts giving thanks to God for their blessings. Their first years in the New World were very harsh and the Native Americans did help them survive. However, the first Thanksgiving took place several years after their arrival. The Pilgrims had become successful and their harvest in the fall was so bountiful that they wanted to give thanks to God for all their blessings. As a gesture of goodwill the local Native American tribes were invited to share in their fest. While one could say they were thankful for their help (especially Squanto) the celebration was to thank God.
Current Thanksgivings in the US are centered around being thankful for your family, friends, blessing, and God (if you are religious). Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing/dressing, cranberry sauce/jelly and pumpkin pie are traditional foods. Unless you are spending Thanksgiving in an airport or hotel room, NO ONE has food from a can. People spend all day if not all week preparing food based off of family recipes.
Thank you for explaining that to them. We should go to the UK for Thanksgiving and cook a dinner (from scratch, not canned) for them and read the real history.
Well said... Way better than my explanation hahaha 😂
Thank you so much
Thanksgiving’s origins do not start with the natives and pilgrims. Harvest celebrations predate thanksgiving by thousands of years and have been celebrated by all European cultures (Nordic, Slavic, Baltic, Celtic, Anglo, etc...) during the autumn equinox since the beginning of agriculture.
I can’t speak to the history of possible Native American harvest festivals but considering all of the crops Amerindians grew such as corn, potato, tomato I’m sure NAs also had harvest festivals during the fall equinoxes for as long as their people had agriculture.
Thanksgiving was a continuation of traditional harvest festivals and the thanks given was in the pilgrims appreciation for the natives’ generosity in helping them make it through that first hard season.
Typically, during traditional European pagan harvest festivals our ancestors celebrated the gifts of the earth and of the gods and goddesses they believed helped make that earth fruitful. That year, the Native Americans were the biggest and most important part of nature providing. Without them, the pilgrims would have perished.
The pilgrims were assimilated into Christianity by this point, as we all know, but it’s easy to see from the continuation of celebrating harvest that their pagan roots never truly died.
Pale Gael Yes, harvest festivals have been around for thousands of years, probably since the beginning of agriculture. But the celebration on the 4th Thursday of November in the United States is in recognition of “The First Thanksgiving” in 1621. Much like Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Carnaval in Rio De Janeiro have their origins in Europe with a feast before the start of Lent.
4th of July is about our independence from Great Britain not just about partying.
This is why they lost the war .-.
Faith Beining the day we set off fireworks is because someone tried to blow up the parliament so it’s us who is just looking to have a party 😂
@@user-ij8hb2nl3b "Remember, remember, the 5th of November; the day of the Gunpowder Plot." 1605 does beat our Pilgrim's Thanksgiving by a wee bit of time. lol
THANK YOU. It’s when we got independence from you brits who thought we were property also ANTHONY MEDINA hahaha
Anthony Medina we lost that conflict because:
1/. we were busy fighting the French in more important places.
2/. It was proving too costly the manage as a colony.
Did we really lose? We kept the profitable bits which are bigger (Canada and the Caribbean).
“*insert American word* what is that??? That’s stupid. Classic Americans. We have *insert British version* over here. Hope this doesn’t make you TRIGGERED lololol”
hm
actual.lizard every video they make about America.
Now I’m tempted to comment something full of American words lmao
How come ONLY America learns about everyone’s history? No other countries teach about American history..?
Because American history includes other countries... immigrants built and fought for our country.
Because American history is kinda confusing and thru barely teach about ant other country
@@bostonw2986 So those countries don't get a mention at home for their contributions to building a new nation? Is that not part of their history too.
@@tangoindiamike9189 I can’t speak for those countries :) I would hope they do! (But I assume it’s not their proudest moment that those people fled their country to help build another one?) I can only speak to my experience as an American.
Eh, it’s not like we (Americans) learn thaaaat much about history of other countries. We get context and the generic things but that’s about it.
Yes! I want to educate you because every judgement you made pissed me off. First of all, a "prom" is short for promenade. It is a dance for high school students, usually grades 11 and 12. Prom king and queen really is a popularity contest. My high school did not have prom king and queen, but the rival school across town did. Homecoming is to welcome any former students who might be in town to the football game and the dance afterward. (Most graduates don't go to the dance. We leave it for the current students.) It is to honor those who came before us. Homecoming king and queen is also a popularity contest. We use tailgating in two ways. Number one: following someone too closely in a car. Number two: on a truck, there is a latch that brings the back of the trunk bed flat. That is also called a tailgate. The tailgate is lowered during half-time at a football game, the barbecue is pulled in to the parking lot and hamburgers and/or hot dogs are cooked. Of course, a lot of COLD beer is consumed. Thanksgiving is a holiday set on the fourth Thursday of every November. Therefore, it changes dates every year. Some people now believe it is just a "white" holiday in which the first settlers (the Pilgrims) celebrated the massacre of Native Americans. However, traditional reasons for the holiday are that the Pilgrims were celebrating getting through the first winter in a new land as many died of disease or starvation. A cotillion, coming out party, sweet 16 and debutante are very similar. The cotillion and debutante are the most similar and are held only for the "cream of the crop" and high society. These girls range in age from 16 to 25. It is to bring a young lady in to the high society social circle. (Cotillion is used more in the Southeast Southern States.) A sweet sixteen and coming out party are basically the same, but for the lower class. Do you know what pancakes are? They are made with flour, eggs, milk, sugar, baking powder and salt. Waffles are the same thing, but you add oil to them to make them denser. We have an appliance called a waffle maker that you pour the batter in. They have divots in them to make a pattern. Then you put butter and maple syrup on them when they are cooked. The EGGO is a frozen waffle. Americans (at least older ones!) know what marmalade is! Good god, we're not as stupid as you think. For those of you who don't know, it's like a jelly. Spring break has gotten a BAD reputation! Basically, schools in the U.S. are divided in to four sections of the calendar year, known as quarters. The first quarter is from (from MY experience only!) September through the middle of December. Then it's Christmas vacation for two weeks. Second quarter is from January through the end of March. Spring break is the first week of April. Third quarter is from the second week of April to mid-June. Then we have summer break from mid-June to the end of August which is the fourth quarter. Usually Americans will say 5th grade instead of grade 5. Here's the breakdown: 5-6 is Kindergarten, 6-7 is first grade, 7-8 is 2nd, 8-9 is 3rd, 9-10 is 4th, 10-11 is 5th, 11-12 is 6th, 12-13 is 7th, 13-14 is 8th. Fourteen to 15 is 9th OR a freshman. Fifteen to 16 is 10th grade OR a sophomore. Sixteen to 17 is 11th grade OR a junior. Seventeen to 18 is 12th grade or a senior. It took me about 45 minutes to write this. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
This is really good
i agree everything they said made me mad. it would’ve been better if they guessed then read the actual meaning of everything
Honestly Thank You They Pissed Me Off Like Look It Up Google Is Not That Hard To Use And Why Does It Seem Like All Their Videos Are About Americans And What They Don’t Understand About Us
Forget it guys. They are still trying to win the war of 1812.
I think he said that we don’t know what marmite is, not marmalade, its something that we don’t have here in the states. Also, it’s not sweet which is why she said that it would be salty but I think it is the consistency of jelly
I am SO triggered right now? Our holidays are not just an excuse for food. We eat food at most holidays because we like to have conversations and talk about our lives at a nice meal (sometimes it has things to do with religion, too.)Most people don’t use canned things (less fortunate people may have to for prices) and some things are almost specifically canned because you would have to go through a long process to get it yourself. Talking about any country’s holidays with no knowledge about them is a very bad idea in general, and inserting stereotypes is rude in most cases. This is the only video on this channel that has gotten me this angry! You guys did a bad job on this one.
Them acting like they don’t know anything and saying don’t get triggered is just asking for triggered people
Omg I’m American and the most stupid thing I hear Americans say is triggered. It’s so annoying. Yes we have holidays for more than food, but yes we like to incorporate food simply because we are an obese nation who loves to eat. But I got to say that Americans have way more fun and are way more passionate. Brit’s just seem so boring and uptight.
Nothing canned at our Thanksgiving. We cook everything from scratch and it is divine 😊
Same
Y’all need to look up the meaning of thanksgiving it’s actually quite meaningful and special
exactly!! it has a lot of historical significance and it is a very meaningful day!
Ask a native how special it is😔
I’m part native. It was definitely significant
It's not special and it's not meaningful, the "pilgrims" literally invaded the native American's land, said that it's theirs, and then they had some "PeAcEfUL" feast.
@@sophiakemp6469 🤡
“Americans think 100 years is a long time, Brits think 100 miles is a long way”... the best quote describing major cultural differences between the 2 nations. If you base your thinking geographically, it’s easier to understand American traditions like Thanksgiving, tailgating, homecoming, Spring Break as travel based traditions formed to battle the vast distances in such a large country. It takes much effort and money to visit your family, former classmates, stadiums, and holiday destinations when so much travel is required.
Tailgating evolved from the need to be fed during a long trip to the game. Most large stadiums in the south are located in small University towns 100’s of miles from any large town. These small towns don’t have enough restaurants and hotel space for such large crowds. This lack of accommodation forced fans to bring their own food and drink for the day-long, pre-game meal in the parking lot of the stadium known as tailgating. The gathering of fans in the “car park” outside the stadium has grown to most college and professional football teams regardless of the need to Bring your own food.
Homecoming is another answer to the hassle of travel. Because so many alumni have spread out away from their colleges to all corners of the country it is easy to lose the connection with your college and college friends. Once in the fall and once in the spring the college hosts homecoming events to reconnect alumni to the current faculty and students. Different college clubs, social org, and fraternal groups usually have week long activities as well for their former members. Homecoming gives alumni a chance to revisit old college friends and see the positive changes the school has made. It also gives the school a chance to fundraise towards the returning alumni who should have much more money to give with jobs earned with the help of the schools degree. USA universities are funded largely through donation. High Schools have just copied this tradition but on a much smaller and localized scale, usually involving former students within the same city.
Spring Break is a “rite of passage” for high school and college students to “holiday” away from their parents for a week for the first time. This usually involves many inland students driving hundreds if not thousands of miles to warmer climates, usually the beach. Remember, most American students don’t get the opportunity to travel to different places much less different countries on the weekend like Europeans. Spring Break lets young people borrow the parents car, pack it full of friends and unsavory items and road trip to a warm place and party with barely clothed members of the opposite sex unsupervised. What’s not to like?
Traveling for Americans is a much bigger commitment than for most Brits. If you want to get out of town and visit new places it requires a car full of gas, a huge chunk out of the calendar, and a pretty good reason. As an American, unless you live in the northeast along the coast, your spending a good portion of your life in a car going places instead of actually being places. Most of our culture and practices are manifested from dealing with the large size of America. As with the UK, so much of the culture and practices is manifested by the vast history of the country.
You wrote a lot.

I totally agree
Gosh, Coffee, that's the most rounded reason I have ever heard for our group of holidays and parties. As each holiday was mentioned I kept thinking, "well, no, that's important to us because it commemorated our first winter in the new land; or "Tailgating? It is a party that grew out of the mob collective just like mardi gras." I kept explaining each one in my head. I now bow to your superior answer!! Thank you!
Thanksgiving is American for "Thank God we got out of England, and didn't die the first year!"
It is very funny!!! :-) :-) :-)
Tahoe Mike love it. That is hilarious
LOL
*bursts out laughing* sorry, that was just too funny I mean no offense to the British in my outburst of laughter by any means but back in the 1600s to the early 1700s, you guys were pretty tough on us!
Pretty much, but also to celebrate the end of the harvest season. It was the Pilgrims being thankful for a bountiful harvest so they had enough food to last the rest of the year.
no one eats canned things for thanksgiving
Lindsay Buckles the relish tray usually has canned olives and pickles, also the pumpkin pie filling probably came from a can.
Not all-together true...the infamous green bean casserole, beloved by many for Thanksgiving, came from a Campbell's soup recipe and revolves around canned cream of mushroom soup. And canned cranberry sauce is still popular, as are canned sweet potatoes to make that casserole. And then there's canned pumpkin for the pie, with also uses canned evaporated milk. So, yes, canned things are eaten at some Thanksgiving dinners.
We always had the canned cranberry sauce. It retains the shape of the can.
Haha! That was a staple at our family table as well, the can-ring shape used for easy slicing. I know a lot of people who say they hate cranberry sauce because they grew pu with the canned version which is kind of grainy and flavorless, but I remember liking it as a kid. As an adult I find it too sweet. Once I learned how easy it was to make my own sauce, I never went back to the can. Every year I try a different, cranberry sauce flavor profile like "Apple cider" or "dried cherries and port." That said, I'm not so sure our Brits would like cranberry sauce homemade or from a can. It's one of those things that's hard to like if you don't grow up with it. Visitors from abroad often dislike it or just don't know what to make of it. But it's one of the things that makes Thanksgiving more of an American holiday than even the 4th of July-the fact that so many of the foods served are native to America, like cranberries, corn, turkey, pumpkin, etc.
Ha! Whn you're in a rush to get to your parent's and you have nothing prepared yes you do!
“You need to move Thanksgiving to July”
4th of July is the holiday in July
@Heraldo Medrano may the fourth be with you
That's exactly what I thought.
@@Charlotte-ci4is Most months, yes. Some holidays are going to be a bigger deal to some people. Different religions are going to celebrate differences religious holidays/festivals/feasts (Christmas/Easter, Passover/Hannukah, Ramadan...). Isn't the New Year celebrated by the majority of people in the world in some capacity? Holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day in secular culture are more minor holidays. 4th of July is our Independence Day. Thanksgiving is a national holiday. We celebrate thankfulness, and it's generally a big family-oriented holiday. From what they taught us in Elementary school, we celebrate it because Native Americans (I'm so sorry that the exact tribe isn't coming to mind at the moment) and Pilgrims came together. They shared food and drink. Essentially, the Native Americans saved the Pilgrims from all dying out. So many did die.
Yes! We like to celebrate! We love being happy.

What kind of monster puts ketchup on French Toast
American here, born and raised, and I have NEVER heard of anyone putting ketchup on french toast. That's just morally wrong. It's syrup or nutella, but never ketchup.
Dat Fishe Boi no one that I know of puts ketchup on French toast, we all use syrup.
Dat Fishe Boi + Your words couldn't be more accurate...ketchup on French Toast....HOLY CRAP!
I put ketchup on eggy bread, which is basically French toast without the cinnamon. Because I am a monster and i like my tomato ketchup.
I put sugar on my French toast. I would NEVER put ketchup on it.. just gross
Tailgating: Take your pick up truck to the game. Put the tailgate down, have a party in the parking lot.
But remember they don't have our awesome pick up trucks... They have these wimpy weird overgrown cars with a little bit of hauling space.
Don't forget the grill and the cold beers!
Tailgating for us is where u drive up close to the back of someone else’s car
@@hayleyjones6080 down here that's a thing in Nascar LOL
Tailgating also means the same thing they mentioned in the video: following too closely behind somebody. At least it meant that where I grew up in Texas.
What I'm getting from this is that Americans just know how to have fun 😂
Everything that they said made me cringe at how wrong they are but yes we do know how to have fun
RANDOM_KIDS 9000 exactly. They r way off. They have to actually know and come to America before they assume
Agreed but, based in my experience in the uk that I basically lived in my whole life before i moved in america 3 years ago. British people are more proper. We have to many breaks so we get to travel more in the uk than the us. Schools in the uk have more breaks so we get to party with friends all the time and we do our own parties. Since England had many cultures each person or groups have their own things to celebrate about so we get to do our own thing so...
Lol we Americans do know how to party
The facts have been dropped
“Why do you need a holiday to grateful?” There are so many reasons to be grateful, why not celebrate it with friends and family. Also on Thanksgiving no one has canned food. Actually it’s the opposite, it’s all great home-cooked dishes. It’s about his being grateful for what we have and our country. It’s a very important holiday. (There is a ton of history behind it, and I’m not gonna go into that but you get the main idea)
Alexa Young yeah, celebrating mass genocide of native Americans, so much to celebrate for.
Ceri-Noel J you’d be hard pressed to find somebody in America who genuinely celebrates thanksgiving like that. That’s like saying atheists celebrate Christmas as Jesus’ birthday. It’s not how they view it
The history of Thanksgiving is horrible. It's really not a holiday that should continue to be celebrated or remembered
Don't think that would go down for my family if we were American.
Autumn Rose I just wanted to kindly point out that cmilliVOL was actually agreeing with you. Her reply was directed at Ceri-Noel J, and she was essentially saying that no American celebrates Thanksgiving as a day representing the genocide of Native Americans, basically just reiterating how ridiculous it was for anyone to even mention two very separate things having anything to do with one another. Thanksgiving is celebrated by giving thanks for the blessings we have, it has absolutely nothing to do with genocide, and I am in full agreement with your comment as well. Anyways, again, I just wanted to kindly mention that cmilliVOL’s comment wasn’t directed towards you. God bless! 😊💕
Nobody tell them how funny "headboy" and "headgirl" sound.

Why in the world do you expect people from England to learn about this?
THERE IS NO REASON!!!
Jason Kohut Umm, dude, learn to spell. It’s “Pilgrims” - where r u from?? Nobody spells it “pilgrams” 😂
@Oh yeah yeah Sergent dre thanksgiving is a fall harvest festival brought to the colonies by thankful pilgrims that they survived a harsh year in their new home they held a harvest festival like the ones they remembered from home back in the UK .... natives never had a thanksgiving festival they had a type of celebration that lasted around 3 days in like july to celebrate the corn ripening closest thing they had
Pilgrams came here from primarily HOLLAND....sooooooooooo
why are these people so petty?
I’m usually not easily offended but maybe instead of belittling our traditions with no knowledge about them, they could have a little respect for other nations and do some research to better understand them (and maybe learn a little about our cultural differences along the way). How would they feel if an American made a video about a holiday that means a lot to Brits that isn’t celebrated in the US and bashed it simply because they didn’t understand why it was celebrated?
Gillian Bandy yea well we don’t do that. We wouldn’t make videos about someone else’s culture and then bash it just because we don’t know anything about it.
They’re not bashing, they’re pleading their ignorance of our customs and traditions and making guesses based on incomplete information or wrong information. It’s meant to be light hearted and fun. And it’s meant to help them learn about us while they playfully teach us about them!
Don't worry not all us Brits are like this.

1. Prom is the biggest dance in high school. You seem to have a pretty good idea of what Prom King and Queen is.
2. Homecoming is a huge football game and then a dance.
3. A tailgate party usually happens in a parking lot or an empty lot you would open your trunk or put down your tailgate and put food and drinks out and just have fun.
4. Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November it revolves around a celebration between American settlers and natives. Thanksgiving food is NEVER canned.
6. Eggos are just a brand of pancakes and waffles that you can cook in the toaster.
7. We call that French Toast.
8. Spring break is the week we get off school for Easter, it became more of a party holiday because of MTV.
A freshman is someone who is in their first year of high school, usually between the age of 14 and 15.
Whomst'd've
Thanksgiving (USA) is always the 4th Thursday of November. (Because November has 30 days, some years there are 5 Thursdays in November. On one of those years, showing up on the last Thursday would have you arriving a full week too late.)
--Peace
Unless it's a freshman in college. Then they'll be like 18 or 19.
Our French Toast is made with day old white bread left out overnight to get extra dry to soak up more egg mixture. After cooking you /we would put either powdered sugar or maple syrup on it. Then a big glass of ice cold milk along with it. In my old age I've taken to adding two or three ice cubs to the glass of milk so it's ice cold to the end mmmmm .
In very small towns they will have a homecoming town party in addition to the football game and dance. The town I grew up in we had a 3 day block party with games and food ect...
You forgot cotillion, or debutante ball... when the girls usually around 17, are presented to society.
Did you just say ketchup on FRENCH TOAST?! NO. Its Syrup!!!
I like it with strawberry preserves and lots of butter.
Oh hell noooooooo. You have fricking syrup with EGGS 🤮🤮🤮
It does sound like french toast but I bet their eggy bread is more egg involved
Alex Whitworth wut is wrong with brits you put salt and pepper on eggs, NOTHING ELSE.
Kacie Torres brits don’t eat a lot of sugar products though for breakfast like most Americans. They eat more balanced meals and such. If they were to add syrup it would become a dessert to them not a meal or snack. I hope that makes since 😬
So triggered to the point where I am squeezing my phone so hard that it may break.
...Then become a better human being.
them: what is eggnog, isn't that "american" ??
*eggnog originated in the UK.....*
Robert no...
13th century Monks called it “posset”. Originated in Britain.
Also Thanksgiving has its' origins in English culture and was originally celebrated in North America by English settlers.
@@rrmcbride555 True eggnog has rum in it.

Thanksgiving is NOT NOT NOT canned. gasp! everything must be cooked from scratch unless you're a complete low-life. Traditionally, we cook a big turkey and a bunch of sides and deserts (pumpkin pie is a must) and spend time with whole big extended family. It is a fall harvest festival, but specifically derived from pilgrims being saved from starvation by Native Americans teaching them how to farm in North America with corn, beans, squashes (pre-Columbian North American crops). Even the turkey is a native North American bird.
So you go get a pumpkin and cook it down to make that pie?
@@mrbear1302 yep. :)
As a Brit not trying to be rude here but I most of that is what British people do for Christmas so what she saying is why do you need to have two christmases just one with a different name
Rude much? You're a low life if you us canned goods? Sorry if I was making $6.50 an hour and couldn't afford fresh anything. Sorry if I was a nursing student living halfway across the United States away from my family and couldn't afford anything. God you are so out of touch with reality, you're the low life.
While Thanksgiving is ostensibly about the Pilgrims, it was really about the American Civil War. Abraham Lincoln designated a special day in November as a national holiday in order to give thanks to God for his blessings on the Union. It's also called Turkey Day since it almost always involves cooking a turkey, with dressing, cranberry sauce, etc.
Ain’t nobody using canned foods for thanksgiving so...
Except maybe the cranberry sauce.
Uh...speak fo' yo' self If it still tastes alright, I'll use caned ingredients. Besides, you supposed to make cream of mushroom soup from scratch for the Green Bean Casserole? What about the french fried onions for the top of it?
Well green bean casserole and french fried onions are not traditional thanksgiving food, that's something that you find more regional and on a family-to-family basic, but yes some people do make those from scratch. Either way yes, some people use canned stuff, but a very large portion of the population does not, especially in the south. I'd prefer homemade over canned any day, but in the video they make it sound like everything is canned and I don't know anyone who has canned everything (although I wouldn't be surprised if there's some people who do...)
Who would face their nearest and dearest with canned food. I would have no self respect or dignity left if I didn't make my items for thanksgiving. I also can't imagine 'green bean casserole' for Thanksgiving. I have had it at potlucks before and it is a cheap filler dish that would have no place on a Thanksgiving Table.
A quarter century ago we let the mother bring the pies. The woman had the unmitigated gall to bring store bought pies. I will make sure she goes to her grave unable to live that down. It isn't that hard to mix the filling for a Pumpkin pie for crying out loud. Even use a couple of different spice combinations to suite various people. Homemade Apple pie is a delight beyond compare. How bloody hard is it to whip cream? If it is too hard for one to make a crust one could use Crisco instead of lard and/or butter.
Prom started off as the last dance for seniors the last week of school. Homecoming was the first month of school dance. Homecoming from college is what you're talking about. Tailgate is pregaming before the game. Where we drink for cheaper before you pay for more expensive beer in the game. We home make food for Thanksgiving.
Prom is short for Promenade.
Jr can go to senior.
Dear Lord, that's so confusing. 😂
yep
Anyone can go to prom if asked by a junior or a senior in that high school.
Thanksgiving is a truly American holiday based around the discovery of America. And its Thanksgiving Dinner not party.
Wow you don't even know the real definitions of Thanksgiving lol
Of course not...I was only born and raised here...I suppose I'll have to celebrate 51 to really get a grasp of the concept. Thanks for the feedback.😯
The first thanksgiving was way after the discovery of america. It was when the pilgrims and indians had a massive feast
@Midnight Shine no he discovered a chunk of land that he didn't care about. Christopher Columbus is what discovered American, he is what started the country
Cayla Greenawalt Columbus discovered the Caribbean, he didn’t set foot in the us
Hey guys. Homecoming is usually a dance for current students the Saturday after the teams “home” game on Friday. It’s usually earlier in the year around September. It’s not a reunion. Once you graduate you don’t go.
Yes, this is what I understand. By the way most American’s had homecoming with little notion of what or why. It was a 1940s/ 50s thing we in the 80s felt to be nostalgic- when the football team came back from road games for the final home game
Not true; the school tries to make alumni come to the football game. Not that that would ever actually happen unless they are giving away prizes or something, or making a big deal about "20th anniversary of school opening", or it's one of those weird non-high-school high schools that apparently exists in urban cities that is basically pretending to be a college and if that also resulted in "specialty friends" similar to how a Moose Lodge or the Magridals would.
Funny thing is eggnog comes from medieval Britain lol
This is so frustrating. I just want to explain everything to y'all, because you're really far off, no offense.

"Eggybread" you mean French toast
Musical Megan they said french toast as well
Eggy bread and French toast can be used interchangeably since, as far as I know, they are the same thing. "Eggy bread" seems to be primarily used by the English.
Musical Megan ikr
or bread pudding
we call it "pain perdu" (litteraly lost bread, i think). it's a manner to use old bread.
Thanksgiving is our celebration of thanks that the early pilgrims made it through the harvest with the help of the native Americans
Krista Ricks it happens on the 4th Thursday of November, after which the official “Christmas shopping season” begins. The next day, a Friday, is called “Black Friday, because in the old days when bookkeeping ledgers were written by hand, red meant no profit and black meant profit. Many stores finally got out of “being in the red (no profit)” on the Friday after Thanksgiving day was first Christmas shopping day- that’s how it got the name “Black Friday”.
Krista Ricks Currently it’s usually celebrated with immediate family, parents, grandparents and the food is primarily made from scratch. There are parades and football games on TV. Afterward the Christmas season opens.
Smh "With the help of native Americans"?? Native Americans were killed, raped, and used as slaves. Think about it, how would you feel if isis celebrated 9/11 with food and drinks... that is messed up. Don't you Think?
Hollywood Sunset
The reason that it's celebrated the way it is currently, is due to the fact that the genocide of the Native population after the Caucasians came to the land in bigger force is a point in history that the larger amount of the American population don't want to remember! So they have changed what should of been a holiday thanking the Native people for helping them to survive, into something that is more suited to their not wanting to feel guilty about almost wiping out the indigenous population!! If that is too much truth for you to handle hmmm well. For alot of indigenous people like myself, it's a very much hated holiday!!!
nameless not all pilgrims treated the native Americans that way. But yes many were you’re correct.
When it’s quarantine and you’re too sensitive about missing senior year so you click off right away bc you can’t handle them talking about prom
Couldn’t you live without prom? What’s so important about it anyway? No I’m not bri’ish I’m American and I still don’t get what’s so important about it
The food made on thanksgiving is most definitely not “canned”. My mom, my grandma, and aunts all prepare food days in advance. I can’t speak for other people but I have never been to a thanksgiving with canned food. Please fact check.
I'm trying hard not to be offended by wht they have said in this video. I feel like b4 a video is made they should research the meaning behind the things being questioned before they purposely offend all Americans .
I have thick skin so it takes a lot to really rile me up but telling us to move Thanksgiving to another month, wow I just flew right off the rails hearing that
I didn't fly off the rails; I just laughed because it was such a ridiculous suggestion. Thanksgiving is basically a harvest celebration and July is a bit early for the harvest.

Um... Egg bread is French toast in the states. But we usually put maple syrup on it instead of ketchup...
Don Woods but doesn’t French toast also have some milk and cinnamon in it? (At least, that’s what I put😂)
Well yeah lol. I guess we are more complicated lol.
Egg toast is the savory version of french toast. It's not meant to be sweet. I've seen it here in the states, but very rarely.
We call it French toast here in Canada and put butter and maple syrup on it. Tastes a lot like desert or a candy but it will fill you up and give you lots of energy. If you are too cheap to buy maple syrup (which is very expensive) we sometimes throw some Aunt Jemima syrup on there instead. Did you guys want to know why maple syrup is so expensive? It is because it takes 40 liters of sap to make 1 liter of maple syrup. It takes a lot of work and energy because of that 40:1 ratio. My cousin owns a maple sugar shack and is very busy out there from December to April. Firewood to get in, sap lines to repair, old taps to remove and new holes to be drilled in the trees as you can't use the old holes from the previous year and cleaning of the boilers. The sap lines are the most work because we have to snowshoe through deep snow to work on them and it's a steep mountain hill plus we are carrying buckets full of heavy tools and supplies to repair any broken sap lines. I don't know if any of you have ever snow shoed through fresh snow but it's about as difficult as jogging at a high speed plus carrying 50 lbs of tools/supplies at the same time, ducking and stepping over the numerous sap lines and going up a steep hill...super difficult. I was out of shape one year and went there to work and almost passed out from exhaustion. Very strenuous work. So the next time you complain about the price of maple syrup, think about the work needed to harvest the sap and the energy needed to boil it down with that 40:1 sap to syrup ratio.

How come you don’t know what prom is if you had it.... what?
Highschool's in America ages:
Senior age: 18
Junior age: 17
Sophomore age: 16
Freshman age: 15
In high school, the homecoming game celebrates the careers of the senior high school athletes, normally the football players. It's what we do for the senior because it's going to be there last year to play there sport until college. Than the graduate than go to college.
Prom is like a celebration of your last year in highschool, we dance have fun than go to the after party. Than go home around 3am😂
I hope this helps you.
Difference in areas. Agree with prom except for us it combines junior and senior class. The junior class hosts the party for the senior class. We raise money selling junk from our 7th grade year to junior to pay for it.
Homecoming is for alumni. When we "all" come back for one game. (Football for us but I know some smaller schools have it for basketball that dont have football.) We have senior night for every sport to celebrate the seniors. Normally the last home game of the year.
@@erikajones8009 Agreed, it depends on were you live at and what school you go to. Different in each state or county's.
Or 1 year younger. I graduated from high school at 17. But I think in england they generally finish their schooling at age 16.
Eggo= just a brand of frozen waffles
French toast= Eggie bread
Prom is only for juniors and seniors which is the last two years of high school
Homecoming= football game at beginning of year, a day for graduated students to come back , BUT NONE DO. That’s a big point, literally none come.
Thanksgiving= a day to celebrate the things your thankful during the year. You specifically DONT have canned food on that day. It’s a big HOMEMADE day. Also, it’s supposed to be celebrating the meal the pilgrims had with the Native Americans when they first got there but we all know how that went
Tailgating: basically, in small town football games, people will park in the school parking lot and cookout or grill. This is for before the game starts. You can have your dinner without having to pay for the inside food and you can meet up with your friends and talk before the game starts. For college games, it’s a lot of sorority and frat activities and contests. For the NFL, it’s not as common I think
Debutante and Cal-... idk: these balls don’t exist from my point of view?
Don’t trust Hollywood for information, I work in the yard during spring break and some people go to England with their family and woah spring break is a week, summer break is around two months. During summer break, we binge watch tv and prepare ourselves for prison
unless they have freshmen or sophomore boyfriends/girlfriends ... then they come too ...
That's not what homecoming is. She was right it is connected to football. It is a dance the Saturday night after the first home football game of the season which would be played on that Friday night. King and queen... yes a popularity contest.
Brenda Amira I said it was s football game? But yeah also a dance. I just didn’t say dance because my school isn’t having one this year and I forgot that we usually do
Brenda Amira but homecoming still includes what I said
French toast and eggy bread are not the same thing. French toast has cinnamon, eggy bread doesn't.
Damn as an American, I feel real attacked lol, idk where they're getting their information from but it's really innacurate. Maybe collab with an American RUclipsr that's either in London or through Skype or something? (I don't even know if people use Skype anymore). The definition and the reactions make us look really foolish, like I get it's a different culture so it's a bit confusing, but maybe do a little more research or ask an actual American and maybe you won't have such an offputting response.
I'm sure they're faking ignorance so that they can throw insults and rake in views. I apologise and promise most Brits are not like this! Really sorry, these two are horrid and dont represent the UK.

Yea Prom and homecoming king and queen isn't actually that serious, of course movies portraying that way to make a storyline more interesting but in reality it's just a fun School event. Not all schools do prom king and queen either but mine did and it was just a funny thing no one took it seriously.
@@ronswanson3536 My school did homecoming queen only and prom king only. it was lame but they were trying to do some equal thing that the senior class wasn't all too happy about.
@@Silkblu1989 there is no point in that though because it would have been equal if they had just done king and queen for both like normal.

Thanksgiving is a celebration of the first harvest in America. Settlers learned much from the natives to survive and it’s a coming together around the abundance of food they shared. Ever in the states for Thanksgiving??? Come to our house! You won’t find a box or can if food anywhere near my kitchen!❤️
Yes, it's about celebrating the harvest, but wasn't a holiday until the 1940s. It was meant to be a holiday separate from Christmas, which is materialistic. Thanksgiving is meant to be a day for family to come together and spend a day that isnt about gifts
Gentle Chaos ASMR Point Made! Got to be politically correct!
And it used to be in October, which was the end of the harvest. But it was moved to the end of November to link it to Christmas, I think. Canada still does October Thanksgiving.
Car Boot Sales are called Flea Markets in the US. I laughed at you guys so much. Thanksgiving is the most common American holiday that crosses most cultures. It's very important time for visiting distant families and eating food, especially turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey gravy with other hot dishes.
And nary a can in sight!

Homecoming is a celebration of the first home game of your school’s American football team.
Oh! Okay I'm American but I'm homeschooled and I've never gotten that!
Not the first home game... It's a home football game in which they invite back alumni and former school faculty. They do things to make it a bit bigger/better/more grand... Perhaps a parade, fireworks, huge bonfire (Possibly burning their rival's effigy) or party. The party for highschool is the homecoming dance. The king & queen are basically the most popular Senior Classman (Possibly prince and princesses for each lower class)... For colleges, it can be a huge tailgate party & boozefest.
It’s more often the last football game at home before any tournaments. Usually falls in our winter months and is a sort of winter party for high schoolers.
LOL We can't even agree on what it's supposed to represent. So, we need it for what reason again? Or is it just like they said, another unnecessary celebration used as an excuse for partying? It's not like we go out and have a homecoming for every national football team as well.
As a football player I am offended. It is not the first game.

The ages are approximate. Some people may be slightly older or younger depending on their birthday, but this is the general layout of ages/grades.
brack0609 just to add on to your list...grades 9 thru 12 are considered high school or senior high school. Grades kindergarten thru 5 are considered elementary school. And where I'm from (Guam) there's also headstart or pre-kindergarten levels before kindergarten.
The years of high school can really vary too. When I went to high school in the 80s, it was (mostly) 8th-12th grade, which was unusual and so the 8th graders were called 'sub-freshman' (which I always thought sounded like subhuman). Then, when I was a Junior (11th grader), our school became a 'Senior High School' and it was converted to 10th-12th grade and another school became our 'Junior High School' (or Middle School) for the 7th-9th graders in the area. Whereas, other people I've known had either Elementary school from 1st-8th grade and then High School from 9th to 12th or had Middle School/Junior High in the middle of that (from 5th to 7th, maybe?). It's all so varied. Even in my city, it varied from county to county in many cases (and that's not even counting that some schools were on the quarter system -- like my school -- and some were on the semester system). Oh, America! :)
It depends on where you are from. Some schools consider k-6 elementary school. My school had elementary school from k-4, middle school from 5-8, and high school from 9-12.
These might depend on when you start school. Some kids start Kindergarten at age 5 some at 6.
+Nicole Mazza Ah, all of my schools were K-8, then high school was 9-12. My high school did have a middle school and grade school (Elementary) attached but I didn't go to them since I moved from somewhere else.
Where are you getting your information from? Its all wrong.
Prom is a formal party at the end of high school, the last big hurrah with your friends. Its formal dress, eating out at a nice restaurant with your friends, a dance, then you change and have an after party at a friends' house.
Cotillion is a debutante ball. Its really old fashioned snd generally in the South. Its where a girl is presented to society for what used to be looking for a husband. I think its just another excuse for a party now.
A sweet sixteen is similar to a debutante ball, held on the sixteenth nirthday. Its usually not that big a deal though. However, with the popularity of Quinceanera for a Spanish girl's 15th birthday, Sweet Sixteens are becoming more popular again.
Thanksgiving goes back to the colonial era in history. In the early 1600s, many people died of starvation if there were not enough crops grown to last through the New England winter. There was a great harvest that year, and Native Americans and Pilgrims celebrated the bountiful harvest that would see them through the winter. Everyone came together and gave thanks. Traditional foods that were supposedly at the first Thanksgiving were turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, and I think cranberries. These foods are generally eaten for modern Thanksgiving, too. Also, you get the BEST food where EVERYTHING is made from scratch, nothing is from a can. The interesting thing is that festivals of Thanksgiving originate in England. I guess you guys lost that.
Homecoming is a football celebration after an away game, when the team comes back to their home field. There is usually a semi-formal dress dance after a high school homecoming game.
Spring break is a school break in the Spring where people go on vacation.
Tailgating is people gettinv together before as football game, hanging out and barbecueing in the parking lot. Some people really get into it with outdoor tvs, dressing up in team merchandise and RVs.
Eggnog is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks. It's drank during Christmastime. Also, sometimes people put alcohol (rum, brandy, or whiskey) in it. Apparently it originated in the UK! 😄

My parents told me I couldn't go to prom even if I was invited because it was too expensive. Ticket price for a couple was equivalent to matinee prices for Broadway shows (orchestra seats), then the gown, hairdresser, boutonniere for the boy (who had to rent a tuxedo and buy a corsage for the girl), limo (cost split between 3 couples), after party (at a bar in NYC), and after after party lasting until about 6AM the following morning...
Prom gowns are more contemporary in design than traditional bridesmaids' gowns (i.e., more like Lia's mates' gowns). In today's coin it would be about US$1000 per person to attend my high school's prom. Nowadays there's the big Promposal (which I don't get), but kids drive their own cars, you don't need to go as couples (or boy-girl couples), and there's a wider variety of appropriate dress.
Sweet Sixteen goes back to the time of formal dating (boy asks girl, boy meets girl's parents when picking her up, they go out for dinner and/or a movie, she gets back home by 10 or 11 at night, he sees her to the door and tries to get a chaste kiss). Most girls were not allowed to formally date until they turned 16. (Before that age, they might be allowed to hang out in groups, but not single-date.) It may also have roots in the era when girls frequently left school at 14, married at 16, and started a family right away. When I turned 16, it was a big party with lots of guests your own age, but not the sort of formal event at a reception hall (party room at an expensive restaurant) that it might have been in the 1950s or that it is today.
Quinceañera is the Latin-American version, again a coming-of-age party for a girl. Both of these are nonreligious parties that replace and/or complement celebrations for religious coming-of-age rituals (Bar Mitzvah, Confirmation, etc.).
Debutante balls are specific to a class of people (subset of the Social Register) and depending on the area could be one ball for all debutantes, one ball for each debutante that year, or a season of balls at which that year's debutantes are expected to attend. They seem to have originally been designed as a marriage mart, but I'm not sure about today (I'm not in that social class).
Look up what thanksgiving is because you are nowhere close and that was a bit offensive
How? Lmao they nailed it pretty much though the foods not always canned but that's a very good assumption, I'm American but Thanksgiving is like...how could you get offended by it?😂
