Who is it? You'll never know So Savannah how long have you been living in the UK now? I've been living in the UK since last August, so a little more than a year, bit more than a year So you've got enough knowledge now Oh yeah, I've gotten the general About food Yes Lots of gripes Now originally this video was just gonna be me and Savannah, just having a little rant but I figured we needed to throw Dodie in as the British person to hopefully stand up for some of the things we're gonna complain about Yeah! Cause, as me and savannah have lived in both countries I feel we have a right to complain about the state of affairs in England Just to start off with I guess eating etiquette I think it's a bit strange that British people eat with their forks upside down? Did you notice that? Yeah they do It's like using a shovel upside down to dig holes I'm sorry, I'm sorry but whenever I see you eat things you carve it out with your fork because you don't have a knife in your other hand Evan doesn't know how to use a knife That's not an American thing, just Evan doesn't know how to use a knife You don't need a knife, a fork is nice enough Yes you do! A fork is nice enough, knife enough You literally, oh Jesus First thing that did strike me though, is when people eat French Fries with forks? I've seen people here, eating their pizza with a fork Yeah! Bizarre Maybe it's because the pizza is so bad? I've not had, I've had a very very few good pizzas in England Oh I've had good pizza Shut up! In England, Domino's is considered a good place to eat It is though, I do like Domino's What is wrong? Papa Johns! Sorry? Papa Johns. Oh, Papa Johns, yep. Papa Johns is also just a bad chain Shut up, it's so good! No it's not! They make it right in front of your eyes! It's not, like, I don't know. I come from an area where the pizza, every single block is 80 different- John's, mom's, dad's. Every single block Every single- it's a block And the reason that I think the pizza is so bad here Is because they cut it with scissors as well that's just one of the annoying things - yeah - yeah Yeah, that's bizarre - no, it's not Yes, it is - It is literally Imagine taking a pair of scissors and cutting some paper and then going "You know what? This pizza could use that" Let me just lift up my thin flap would you rather, hack it away again or it's a pizzaroller you have to hack rather than cutting (Evan: it's not a hack it's a roll) Do you know how wheels are? yeah but you have to go back and forth like that She's trying Curry is not a thing in America It's not yeah that's what I was gonna say I had curry for the first time when I came here (Evan: SAME!) and I was like; oh this is nice NO you don't get like takeaway Curry? there's no such, no like when I told my mom I was having Curry she was like oh that's so like, is it just like, liquid and spices? Foreign - yeah - yeah, and I went, no just rice I went to one indian place in Philly and it was just a place where you had to eat with your hands Like you weren't allowed to use forks and knives - What and curry is like the national staple food of England nowadays yeah it's bizzare I have to say! British people do, do cheese a bit better than us thank you! Dodie loves cheese! I love cheese and I've tried american cheese and it's like weird it has melted Do you have cheese in a can? yeah what is that! (Cheeky Evan: I love cheese in a can!!) you like spray it in your mouth (Evan: Cheez Wiz) I think breakfast in both countries have their own appeal EVAN: where as (DODIE: Oh c'mon!)SAVANNAH: No I wanna EVAN: I love a good english breakfast (DODIE: Thank you!) SAVANNAH: yeah but... EVAN: like it's all savoury but (SAVANNAH: but - let's bring in the but) Bring in the but's you guys don't know how - your pancakes are big old flat pieces of paper DODIE: oh c'mon! that's so! you fold them up and then eat them (EVAN: and you're like; let's fill them with stuff because their so vial) SAVANNAH: no cause that's a crape (EVAN: that's not a pancake, that's a crape) It's a bit crape DODIE: crape? crepe (EVAN: that's a crape, we call them crapes SAVANNAH: have you had an American pancake? DODIE: yeah their alright bit thick bit stoggy SAVANNAH: that's how I feel about you! (EVAN: just like our people!) EVAN: Well, um we're getting a bit....violent EVAN: make out EVAN: OH NO! (DODIE: OH SHIT!) SAVANNAH: sorry EVAN: if you missed that, nothing happened EVAN: cider! I miss apple cider, like it's such an autumn/fall (DODIE: I love cider! oh c'mon!) SAVANNAH: yeah, oh SAVANNAH: I thought you meant, no I agree(EVAN: no, and then also in England cider is alcohol) SAVANNAH: that is the one thing when I go back home to the states SAVANNAH: so yes I do miss cider, no (DODIE: yeah you don't have like rekorderlig and stuff) EVAN: I miss apple cider when I'm here and I miss alcoholic cider when I'm in America (SAVANNAH: yeah, yes, I agree) EVAN: they're both beautiful, why can't I live in a place that has both?! Whats your apple cider? EVAN: its like apple juice but yet spicy. spices. Its called spiced apple cider sometimes.(SAVANAH: yes, yes it is) Its like cinnamony kinda. EVAN: its autumn like. DODIE: oh that sounds so nice. SAVANAH: It is really nice, you go to like. (DODIE: I want that but also alcoholic) well in Ohio at least we had like little autumn fairs. EVAN: Yep. SAVANAH: where you'd go and like go on hay rides and like pick your pumpkins and have some cider. EVAN: and you can also pick apples cause its that time of season. Bacon is a bit weird here, it looks sort of like canadian bacon, which is ham. DODIE: yeah i don't like our bacon i much prefer your bacon. cause it's like thin and there's no fat on it and its not stringy or slimy its like *crunching noises* EVAN: beans for breakfast i've come to accept as a thing. I can put beans on toast now that I've lived here for three years beans on toast and cheese is like the best but when i still think beans i immediately think bbq baked beans(savannah: yeah yeah) with hotdogs yeah exactly what, what's that You guys, in my opinion, do coffee better than in America Very wrong, very wrong here in England Something that was like a huge issue for me was the term "silverware" I just use that for any silverware they don't say that word ever cutlery? I only just realised today Oat Meal is Porridge basically Yeah I didn't know that
