Foreigners in America for the World Cup reacting to American stuff for the first time

British food is famously bland and bad.

Yeah, I'm starting to realize.

I always found other people's experience or reactions to things I find normal really interesting. Like when you have a family member visit and you take them to places you dont go to because it is something you are use to.

Man, If i ever had to move to the UK for any reason, I would make a killing as a cook. Open up a food truck, have about 4 types of meals, and im good.

No lie, if the reactions are genuine and you can cook, that might be a ticket for people who want to leave the country but don't know what they'd do. Find you a foreign city that doesn't have any real American style food restaurants and you might make a killing.

Dog, if your most popular dish is freaking fish and chips, I could blow their mind away with my seafood cakes or jambalaya. I dont play in the kitchen. Bet money they dont even know what season all is.

I saw a video where UK teens were trying some of our popular sandwiches. An ice cream sandwich was one. None of them heard of it before. Another sandwich was a PB and J sandwich. They haven't had peanut butter outside of a Reese cup. They liked it.

Imagine somebody big momma with the fat arms went over there and started hookin' up fried fish. Line would be wrapped around the city.
 
The company I work for is headquartered in the UK. Lady did a stint over there and just got back. We were at a retirement party and she was going ham on the buffet, lol. She was like Americans just don’t realize how good we’ve got it. She said she didn’t even eat the kind of food on the buffet before going to the UK, but since she been back she been killing food, lol.
 
I had two 12-hour layovers in the uk coming and going to south africa. the first spot we ate at, was not appetizing to put it politely. on the menu it was called a "chicken burger" man that shit was a grilled piece of chicken on a bun.

honestly can't remember anything about it, but I was trying to put on for my wife that it wasn't that bad, cuz she was not feeling her food. I think she got a salad and they messed that up lol.

then it's also weird (I guess they're used to it) but ordered lemonade, that shit was carbonated. no ice. I ordered water, no ice. just a glass of lukewarm water

now I will give credit, the last place we ate, I think it was called Honest Burger. maaaan that was one of the best burgers I've had ANYwhere! they only use special cows for the beef and special cheese and all this elaborate process of how they make their burgers there, I'm telling you if you end up in the UK, look for this spot. even the onion rings were good and a lotta places have not great onion rings

if we ate anywhere else, it was lackluster cuz I don't remember it
 
I went to Europe once. The food wasn't as bad as everyone makes it seems. Especially France. Crapes were on point. So was the steak frites in Amsterdam.
 
France has a good food reputation, a lot of high end restaurants call it French cuisine, they don't really have signature dishes though (that I'm aware of)

I just saw a video about ordering lemonade in UK. The British girl head the word and said "you mean a sprite".

I also found out about their term "chicken burger".

Bouillabaisse
French Onion Soup
Quiche
Steak Frites
Duck a l'orange
Croque Monsieur
Ratatouille
Boeuf Bourguignon
Chicken Cordon Bleu

I could probably keep going. French people might be annoying as fuck but they have some good food.

I understand all that is French food, but I wouldn't consider any of that their signature dish. like fish n chips is the signature uk dish.

it's kinda proving my point that they have such a diverse offering that the high quality style is more associated with them than any particular dish
