good job us

Hi there everyone, so today I'm here with my good friend Dodie and my good friend Savannah

Hello

Hello

One of them is American, one of them is British

Which one? 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
