Brit Reacts to Things About America I Love! 

Try Michigan and the food

Just a suggestion for a cowboy movie. The title is, Young Billy Young. A Robert Mitchum film from 1954 IIRC. I saw it for the first time myself last night and I'm 70. I think you'll like it.

Whatch Yellowstone instead of any "cowboy movie". If you want you can watch the prequel 1883, but of course you won't understand unless you watch Yellowstone.

Also look up "Europeans love the hellcat trx.... Full send " short.... That will give you an idea in 3 seconds about how big the cars are.

You may not know this about cowboys in the late 1800's. Most of the cowboys on the big cattle drives were not White, the vast majority were Black, Hispanic, or Native American. Not exactly what the movies show.

Exactly! She's acting like the woman only called one person at the table hunny & that's why it was an issue...

America is BIG. Distances are BIG.

I've got a small block 350ci (5.7L) V8, one of, if not, the most mass-produced engines ever. The sound when you open up the throttle is special, it's like music... I don't know if Europeans understand it by the way they talk about cars. There has been a car culture in the US since cars were a thing.

Cars are definitely bigger in the US compared to European cars. I lived in Germany, traveled through Spain and The Netherlands...cars are just smaller over there.

A car enthusiast wanting to make his hotrod faster would take a supercharger off a Detroit two stroke diesel engine, something that was necessary for the engine to operate. They felt it'd be a good idea to bolt it to the top of a gasoline engine, two stroke diesels aren't much of a thing anymore, but they still make those same superchargers.

Not exactly "a day in the life," of most of us, but it's definitely a possibility. 😊

Silverado.

I'm your huckleberry.

Classic!

Any John Wayne Classic would be great too 🤠

"Well.....Bye" (great movie) 😆

Paris Baguette is a Korean bakery company french inspired

@@-EchoesIntoEternity- yes it is

@@gaybarz it wasnt a question, and its not french fast food either.

@@-EchoesIntoEternity-Yes it is, knowitall.

@@gaybarz what is a defining feature of fast food in America? a drive-thru. of which Paris Baguette has none.

American made pickup trucks and SUVs are huge compared to any made anywhere else (and they seem to be getting bigger with each model year) LOL.

@@bluflaam777 trust me. My 5'1" self is VERY aware, lol.

​@@tinahairston6383So is my 5'7" (68 yr old) self. Before my husband sold his last truck (F150 4x4) if we took it anywhere, he had to take a small step stool for me because even when I tried to boost myself up with the help of my cane, it was just too difficult. When he started having mobility issues, the truck had to go. He has a Chevy Blazer now.

indeed tina, the French do the Michelin Star guide, and in San Francisco alone (I live in silicon valley which is part of the san francisco bay area) there are 174 Michelin star restaurants 🙂

What do I have the feeling You’re not a smart car driver? 😆

That's funny, I've had a Uzbeki neighbor and he was complaining he has a little pot belly since moving here to USA. Food is great and we have a Samarkand store where he can purchase all of the products he loves from home. He loves our steak houses.And Bob Evans restaurant, Chili's. And he thinks our grocery stores are insanely huge. Too many choices he said.😊

I caught my Italian friend stealing slices of Dominos pizza after mocking it at a work party. He was like "its NOT pizza... but it tastes good..."

Imagine if they’d gotten it from someplace good.

The quarter panel covers the rear wheels and the fenders covers the front wheels. 😊

@user-fk2dm5oy9f then he jerked out the fender with the tractor.

Indeed.

I like french fries 🍟 and French toast .😋 😅

French cooking is largely fussy and complicated, and relies on local fresh produce and ingredients made or grown in France, that is hard to get here. (Personally I prefer the French-derived Cajun food of Louisiana.)

Never heard them called "auto rails" in my life, so i googled it, nothing came up... I've only ever heard them being called side steps or running boards, electric or not.

​@robturney6325 Same here, but I don't have a fancy Escalade either. Lol

In my small southern town (population of around 6,200) we have, at last count, 9 fast food locations. There is more construction going on, but I haven't seen a sign saying what's going in there as of yet.

Sounds like you're in Oklahoma or Texas. I could be wrong, but I'm leaning towards Oklahoma since you didn't mention Bill Miller's BBQ in that list of drive thru options.

@@misslora3896No Bill Miller’s BBQ in my part of Texas. Is their BBQ good?

@@Anonymously-speaking They're not top notch by any means, being basically drive thru fast food BBQ, but still pretty decent for when you don't want to cook or pay the prices at the really good places. I don't know about the rest of the state, but they're pretty popular in San Antonio. Almost always have a line at the drive thru and people in the dining room.

Boston Orioles?

The 49ers Levis Stadium also has a courthouse and jail.

Do you mean Baltimore Orioles or Boston Red Sox???

Now you're going to have Lewis doing a tour of US stadiums 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They all look similar because of physics. We're into fuel economy and aerodynamics these days. Science has evolved and regulations have evolved with it, causing the change in styling.

It's such a shame. I miss my Mach 1, my Charger, my GTO and I never did get my Duster. My Grand Prix was awesome too.@@qoatzecotl

@@chrisdavis7617 I like the older styling, but only in a collector type of way. For daily driving, I prefer modern over classic. But I would love to have a few classic cars to drive around a bit in the summer.

My absolute favorite western

it's a common theme with american women that marry europeans that they know absolutely nothing about guns. they move to europe because guns are "bad and scary" and have likely never seen or fired one themselves. it's like when a liberal brings up why we need stricter gun laws and can't even form a coherent sentence on the topic.

We’ve got drive through liquor stores. Drive through wedding chapels in Vegas.

I definitely agree with you. I also like High Plains Drifter and Fist full of Dollars and Hang 'em High. Pretty much any Clint Eastwood western is gonna be pretty good. Some I like better for different reasons but all are pretty good. John Wayne westerns are fun also. True Grit, How the West Was Won, etc. He made so many I forget now... LOL

@@bluflaam777 the Dollars trilogy of A fistful of dollars, for a few dollars more, and the good the bad and the ugly are my three favorite all time westerns. High plaines drifter is super dope. I love all of Clint’s Westerns. Loved Pale Rider. Had super crush on Sydney Penny as a kid. Also, Sean Penns brother Chris was in Pale rider. Westerns are my thing. Lol And gangster movies.

If we’re going to mention Western movies, The Man that Shot Liberty Valence is a must. The perfect movie to show the different principles in a time when the US was such a young country. Plus it has John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart.

My dad was a child of the 50's so, Western movies and TV shows were his favorite till the day he died. As a result, during my childhood I watched a lot of reruns of shows like The Lone Ranger, Bonanza and Roy Rogers with him. His favorite actors were pretty typical, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. I was never much into the western movies, but I do love Paint Your Wagon which came out the year I was born. My dad played the soundtrack all the time so, it's a part of my earliest memories. My parents said I'd dance and try to sing along before I could really even talk. I just know I've always known and loved the songs. I was a teenager before I ever actually saw it.

I guess we should ask him how far away. Because I'm got quite a few options for fast food depending on how far im willing to go.

Hmmm this and blazing saddles 😂

​@@toomanykatsuYou beat me to it... Blazeing Saddles is a must. Although nowadays you have to warn about the kind of humor on advance and explain what its purpose was at the time. Otherwise, people will just get offended and not pay attention long enough to get the message. I can't remember the exact quote, but Mel Brooks basically said, the movie was meant to punch racism in the nose and laugh while you watched it bleed.

That's because American cities aren't designed for human activity, for people to walk around, have a nice look. It's built for cars and that's why suburbia is a thing. You drive an hour or even hours just to get to "public" places, it's all about profit, imagine not even having walkable streets And the reason the streets in Italy and France are (according to you) are "tiny" is because 1 they're WALKABLE streets for humans NOT car, and because hundreds or thousands of years old. Thier original design was NOT meant for cars

That's because our cities are thousands of years old and they're made for humans NOT cars, they're made to be walkable, to have a personality and design, to be authentic and full and centralized, Unlike American cities which feels like the backrooms, not made for human activity but instead cars, just cars, highways, and UNNECESSARY parking lots (there's literally more parking lots area then HOUSING area) That's really sad that you need a car to go EVERYWHERE.... And let's even talk about how American cities are designed for working places while residents live so far away and even schools are far and also the bad infrastructure and ofc the lack of public transportation, in Europe and china/Japan/korea, public transportation is top tier and it's more eco friendly and saves time because thier cities are more Officient and connected

@@grandetristesse3370 I hope you feel better now that you have vented. Bless you.

@@KS-ip5xn it's called being factual but ok , you can take offense to that bb

She's been in Europe. i.e. France too long.

Did you see the size of that chicken?? Best line in the movie.

I think he's talking about the typical cars. I've defintely seen some European cars that look small for sure.

I have western theme songs in my head now just seeing those titles, haha.

It's been a year and four months since I last had any fast food, it's way too expensive for what you get, for the price of a fast-food lunch you can buy enough groceries for three lunches at home. As for large vehicles I drive a four-wheel drive club cab pickup truck and I'm 74-year-old lady. 🛻🧓👍

Yes, it is.

Europeans fascination with American fast food mystifies me especially when they have so much good natural food.

@AZHITW Just curious, what are you making those 3 lunches with?

Warning, Dear Luis, we all love you. The fast food in the states is deadly and full of chemicals and fats. The same fast food places you are eating, at home, have fewer chemicals because your government is smart to ban them. HOWEVER, you are still eating WAY too much fast food. AND, IN YOUR 30's, you could start high blood pressure issues and cholesterol in your heart arteries . No lie. Final warning, Fast food in the states can AND will give your English born body, DIARRHEA. No joke. Plus a big cup or glass of Coke, (we have a lot of corn syrup as a sweetener here) England doesn't . Again, Soda, coke, fizzy drinks, etc. Are seriously unhealthy and contributes to putting on fatty weight. It's poison, truly. Try it, don't over consume, OR you'll never leave the toilet. "Taco Bell", get your runs at the border " Taco trucks with authentic cooks are well worth trying without getting sick. Spend more time eating in local restaurants, not chain food. Plenty of Americans would gladly feed you home cooked meals. A BBQ or Cook Out would be fantastic. You have fans all over this country that would love to cater to you. I'm in Connecticut, 3 adult sons in the area and the oldest is 41, a master chef, including BBQ. My youngest lives in Maine, a 2 and a half hour drive. A beautiful place. Boston is an awesome city in Massachusetts. You could plan each trip according to different regions of the country. All you have to do is ask and research any of us Americans. We love playing tour guide, also. New York City is 2+ hours by car and train. For free too. That's what all of us Americans are like. ☮️🇺🇸🇬🇧

Star Trek TOS is even more based upon the old submarine movie Sub-genre.

@@Wud-f2rin some episodes adventures are directly based on submarine combat. Like when they first run into the Romulins.

Leave it to them to "surrender" their opinions so easily.

1776 when we needed their help.

But they loooooooove us Americans when we go there huh! 🙄 😂

@@CleverPolarBear you do know they weren't really helping us as much as exacting revenge on the british. So it wasn't out of the goodness of their hearts.

@@CleverPolarBear Exactly! If it wasn’t for France we would have lost the war. We owe a lot to them, especially LaFayette.

"Ukrainemistwin" tells exactly what kind of person you are, woke, annoying, uneducated. Ukraine is NOT winning and it won't

There's no such a thing as American culture lol, if you think cowboys are a cultural heritage then that's funny, it's like saying that some farmers are so cool because they work with animals

"American culture that no other country has"... You must be 12 or something cuz that Statment is just uneducation. Countries like Spain, France, Italy, russia, Greece, turkey, India, arabia, egypt, Morocco, china, Japan, korea, Thailand etc they actually HAVE cultures and thier cultures are THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD. The oldest thing in the USA is 200 years old . Culture is not just some NOMADIC people riding a cow and wearing a hat in the desert

Cowboys are just some nomads in the desert trying to make a living after being outcasted

I personally think the original with Glenn Ford is better, but good recommendation!

Yeah she says the French are refined. It means artsy food.

I’d also say that the French cruisine has a creamy palate, a lot of milk (with butter and cheese), eggs, materials that make it light. There might be some exceptions, maybe a roast, but if there is something heavy it has something to balance the acidity and uplift the taste.

@kate2create738 American food can have that also. I guess typical fast foods like McDonald's doesn't really do that.

@@barcster2003 Yeah, There are all kinds of art food restaurants in America. Fusion restaurants tend to be art food. A % of ethnic Restaurants tend to be art food. I can't imagine a French restaurant in America that doesn't serve art food.

Its like chinese food.....your hungry an hour later

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Naked Spur. Two of the best westerns ever!

Tombstone is top tier yes I agree but I was thinking the spaghetti westerns like 'Fistful of Dollars' or the 'Good,Bad and the Ugly'. He should do a voting poll because there really are loads of great westerns, 'Man who shot liberty vallance' or 'Once upon a time in the west' to name a few

"3:10 to Yuma" the 1957 original and the 2007 remake are both worth watching.

Yet European trucks are more Officient, more eco friendly, travels faster because the cities are more connected

Yes, the Japanese have loved westerns for ages and country music too. I lived there ages ago and US country was always on the radio.

@@franciet99 Oh cool! Where did you live? I got my MA at Keio and lived there for six years before coming back to the states. 😊

Correct! She's backhanding us. She's become French in her attitude!

Fast food twice a week is bad (depending on what you normally get because they do have salads) USA. Since 2020, almost every restaurant will let you pick-up or will deliver via an app. The only hold outs are the high end restaurants, but we have had delivery from every chain restaurant including fast food. We live in a shopping area between places so everything is right here so delivery options are huge. Air fryer is the best for reheating everything you want crispy and "fixing" ill prepared fries, chicken wings, etcetera 🗿🗿👽
