Full English Breakfast VS American Breakfast!! Try Each Other's Breakfast!! (US VS UK) 

The beauty of American food is, there are a lot of different cultures. I'm from Arizona and we eat a lot of breakfast burritos which actually do have some vegetables in them. Of course there are omelettes that have vegetables. Not all of American breakfasts are carb loaded w/ lots of meat. I found that to be common in the Midwest.

I’m British and I love my full English a couple times a month, I went to New York last year and had some lovely diner meals in Manhattan pancakes with bacon and eggs with syrup, corned beef hash and sunny side up eggs, grape jelly and toast, diner coffees 👌 it’s all good to me

It's important to note that British baked beans are different from American baked beans. Here in the US, we use a molasses-based sauce, or sometimes a barbecue base. British beans usually use a tomato based sauce. I've never tried British baked beans, but I have to assume the sauce makes a huge difference in the flavor.

I had to laugh when they stipulated that the American portions were so much bigger. In general, they are, but comparing these two breakfasts, they look like they’re both very large portions! 🤣

Hi everyone. There is a difference between traditional and typical. The reason our American traditional breakfasts foods are carb heavy is because a lot of Americans including myself come from an agricultural background. Most of my family in my grandparents and great grandparents generations worked family owned farms during a time technology wasn’t what it is today. They got up early in the morning and stayed in the fields all day. If you had to push a plow behind a mule for 10 to 12 hours I don’t think a “light” breakfast would cut it. Michael Phelps and other professional athletes the only people I can think of who eats like this nowadays. People with regular jobs often skip breakfast or eat light unless it’s the weekend. My family and friends who are farmers nowadays eat breakfast every day but because they no longer produce all of their own food and have machinery to do some of the work, their breakfasts are lighter than in the past.

I'm American and I've never known anyone to put syrup on eggs. I can understand if some get on it by mistake if on same plate as pancakes but no one puts directly on their eggs. lol

I will be 70 next year and I have NEVER seen spinach on a plate of full English breakfast! The Welsh add laverbread ....which is a cooked seaweed! That's the nearest I have seen to a vegetable on a fried breakfast.

As an American, I love oatmeal with fruit, and sometimes French toast or pancakes with fruit. Blueberries and strawberries are perfect!

This is so nice. Not necessarily this channel but so often online people pit Americans and British people against each other or hate on each other. I wish everyone would get along more like here! :)

They are showing a mixture of foods that represent breakfast in either country. I am an American. It is not uncommon for someone in the United States to have an omelette that has vegetables in it. It is also not uncommon to have some onions and mushrooms sautéed and served on the side. The average person does not eat a huge stack of pancakes, along with eggs and hashbrowns and other things. It is a huge misrepresentation to think that everyone is eating a gigantic breakfast like this in every household in the United States. It just doesn’t happen. Drinks with breakfast would include tea, coffee, or some sort of fruit juice, like orange juice, apple juice, or cranberry juice. I think it’s best to keep everything in perspective.

We never have spinach in a cooked breakfast - far too healthy 😂

I still love how American's call it "Canadian bacon" but in Canada we just call it by what it is, which is back bacon, not to mention Canada does in fact have regular bacon strips as well 😂

In Spain traditional breakfast would be a coffee, a glass of fresh-squished orange juice, and a bread slice with freshly crushed tomato, olive oil and Serrano ham.

I’m heading to London for New Years, as an American who loves breakfast, I’m super excited to try a full English breakfast for the 1st time!

As an American, I did not relate to the American girl's idea of breakfast at all! Lol "You're bulking up to go to war" 😂

Maybe that black pudding is what we in Denmark call "Blodpølse" which is bloodsausage, it's got some brown sugar like thing and raisins in it. It's definately not something everybody like, but i do. We usually eat it around Christmas time (December). Usually eaten with sukker on top or syrup, and maybe a slice of ryebread.

I agree this is a Sunday breakfast but also it would be considered a huge breakfast in the US too. We might just have pancakes with 2 pieces of bacon. You might get just a biscuit, eggs and sausage. Also we do eat fruit and vegetables as a part of these big “weekend” breakfast. Fruit toppings like fresh strawberries or cooked apples are often offered with pancakes, french toast or waffles. Omelets are also common with mushrooms, spinach, peppers and cheese. Also I think the girl meant to say grape fruit with sugar not pomegranate. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice are common breakfast offerings on many particularly Southern menus.

I was in the UK many years ago. The breakfast was subpar but the prime rib and yorkshire pudding was excellent. For me those were the days. At 200 lbs I was really happy. My dr said lose weight. Here I am at 150 and eat 1 good meal per day

The portion size of the traditional American breakfast historically stems from farmers getting up at the crack of dawn and needing a hearty breakfast to give them energy and hold them until lunch, if not sll day hence the complex carbs and protein. Just to be clear, even at restaurants like Denny's and IHop, the option for fruit on the side is given in the menu and the waiter or waitress will ask if a customer would like fruit with their breakfast. And there are lighter, heart healthier options pn the menu and have been for many years.

Both of those breakfasts look amazing! 😍 I love going out for breakfast. But, I would only go out for that style of American breakfast for special occasions. I would only be able to eat the eggs, half the meat and a couple pancakes, and it would keep me full the entire day until a light dinner.

As an American I fry 2 eggs overhard using olive oil spray with veg /fruit. Sometimes with cereal or toast. I will say though I have had a full English, Irish & Scottish Breakfast and I ❤ black pudding as well.

It's a pleasure watching y'all ladies getting breakfast! It's my favorite meal to eat for dinner!

Growing up, I never had hash browns with a full English breakfast. I never had black pudding neither and definitely not spinach. Although, I do like the idea of spinach. There was always bacon and sausage. First time I ever had a hash brown was in America and they are delicious!! I’m so grateful that I can buy English sausages and baked beans and even bread similar to a loaf of Warburton’s here in America. I have to drive over an hour to stock up on them if I’m ever in the mood to have a full English, which means I don’t eat a full English more than once or twice a year which isn’t a bad thing. 😂 I do eat a full American breakfast a bit more often though. 😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️Living in NJ there’re all those amazing diners and Cracker Barrel❤!!!

Everyone has to realize that I believe these two girls put this on from Seoul, South Korea; so somethings might be more difficult to do probably. In fact, it might be why they don't have knives!

While this is certainly the traditional general "American" breakfast, the "Southern" breakfast certainly deserves a mention. The main staples are grits (think oatmeal, except not) and buttermilk biscuits, served with copious amounts of white gravy.

Today in Canada, there are normally four versions of baked beans: the two traditional ones; with molasses and with pork and molasses; with maple syrup and with tomato sauce. I believe that the tomato sauce variant come to us from the US as I don't remember ever seeing it as a child. Canada used to sweeten almost everything with either white surgar, brown sugar or molasses. This was due to our trading relationships with the British Carribean. We sent fish and timber and returned with sugar cane and rum.

I am 60 and I never ate breakfasts like that except maybe at a restaurant. So, I'm pretty sure that large meals like that for most people are for special occasions. I doubt most people eat like that every day. Except maybe farmers. Also, regarding the portion size, it is rare that I ever eat a breakfast meal that size and I'm 6'3.

i loveeeed this video omg seeing the similarities and differences in the food and how the two girls had a lot to say about their own country’s breakfasts it was just really enjoyable and honestly got me hungry 😭😂😂 the girls were also really funny which is something that added an even better flavor to the video lolol loved them! hope u can bring them back in the future ^^

In France we do black coffee & a cigaret

"Black pudding is like Korean sundae but worse." Girl, I haven't tried English black pudding yet but I"m even more curious now.

I believe the american girl is from New York, which might explain why she likes Canadian bacon and to smother everything in maple syrup. She did specify maple syrup. I'm just wondering if she has any connections to the belle provence du Québec. In Canada, we mix both American and British breakfasts as baked beans (traditionally with molasses) are quite popular in Canada and we serve both crepes and pancakes. Pancakes are leavened (addition of baking powder) and crepes aren't (no baking powder). Eggs can be done in a myriad of ways, we may have pork sausage (normally link), bacon or back bacon (what the US girl called Canadian bacon). Tomatos may be served but it is rare to see mushrooms. The only time that I might eat almost everything on this menu is at a Sugar Shack (Cabane à Sucre) in the province of Quebec. At a sugar shack you are normally served a pea soup, freshly fried pork rinds, back bacon or ham, scrambled eggs, baked beans and crepes. You keep eating until your full and liberally pour maple syrup on everything. This is the whole point as a Sugar Shack is where the maple water is boiled to become maple syrup. At the end, everyone goes outside to eat maple toffee (tire en français) on snow.

Ciao, as a half german, half italian i love this videos, so i wish you all a wonderful weekend, many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃

When it comes to Pancakes my #1 favorite is Blueberry.

❤❤❤Both looks gorgeous 😍🥰 😂

I live in the South and I've never heard of putting syrup on eggs. But I do enjoy mixing my scrambled eggs into my grits :)

This was a cute video. To me it looks like 2 teen friends eating although I know they are adult women. Food looks very good.

I do love a traditional American breakfast although I don’t do pancakes just too heavy and sweet, but the rest yes!! My morning usually consists of scrambled eggs or avocado toast. No one has time except maybe on the weekends for the full American breakfast. Even on the weekend I’ll go to the local coffee shop and get a breakfast sandwich.

I'm sorry, but for the American breakfast, you forgot the toast. Eggs, potatoes (hashbrowns or home fried), pancakes, meat (bacon, suasage, ham, or steak), toast , fruit (melons, tomatoes, peaches), juice, and coffee or tea (normally hot coffee or iced tea). Honestly, I think we should steal the mushrooms for ours as well.

Add a little pancake batter to your scrambled eggs before cooking them. They'll be really fluffy.

Honestly, I just want it all 😅 Everything looks delicious 🤤

Black pudding or blood pudding is also common in francophone Canada (Quebec) but not so much in the rest of the country. It was never a thing in my family even though my father was from Quebec and my mother from Nova Scotia.

If the food was kept hot, it would be tolerable. However, all of that looks cold. Cold food that is meant to be served hot is sad.

The thing with getting the syrup on everything that’s a personal choice. I typically will not have the syrup getting on my eggs and my sausage and everything. In fact, in restaurants, the pancakes are generally served on a separate plate. Also, that sausage patty was pretty large. Generally they’re smaller than that.

Having a huge breakfast in the USA was typical for people who lived & worked on farms/ranches. They would have a small or no lunch due to the press of work on the farm/ranch.

3:42 "I don't know how to cut this". Try using a knife!!! 😂😂

What’s cool about America is that we have so many cultures and dishes that we mix and match for breakfast. A lot of it comes down to how you like it or cook it. It’s very customizable

What was this British girl on about. Saying the British breakfast portion is much smaller. Looking at that plate says otherwise. I've seen plenty of content from many Brits and the Full English is just that, quite Full. And has like three forms of heavy carbs...beans, toast and potatoes. Come on now, stop it. 😂

I'm from Ohio and I have put onions, green peppers, mushrooms and broccoli in an omelette with sharp cheese and ham. Now that's delicious! I've never put syrup on my scrambled eggs(neither has my wife of 35 years) I've known people to put sausage gravy on top of eggs. I also know folks who put salt, pepper and some hot sauce on eggs(like Tabasco, Texas Pete or Louisiana Hot Sauce). I even knew a friend who put salt, pepper and ketchup on his eggs. These days, the wife and generally eat brunch(around 11 am) and that could be a breakfast or a lunch food.

Black ie Blood Pudding! A Swedish favourite! The full English looks better. Also mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach!

I’m Italian and I love a sweet breakfast so definitely would eat the pancakes and save the savory foods for lunch!

Americans do Not put syrup on everything. Lol!! I would not put syrup nor ketchup 😜 on my eggs, but salsa is delish! Too many pancakes. Crepes are really good too. My family prefers waffles. You could have biscuits & gravy, grits & eggs, country fried steak or chicken + waffles & hashbrowns. Donuts & hot coffee or hot tea. French toast is good too. I prefer an omelette with meat, veggies & cheese or just veggies & cheese. Breakfast tacos or burrito plus salsa. A Frittata is really good too. However, a heavy breakfast is more of a weekend breakfast.

In America, nobody eats like that. If you have pancakes, *maybe* you have some bacon on the side. Usually it'd just be pancakes. Eggs and bacon and toast, sure, on a weekend, Realistically, a lot of people don't eat breakfast at all anymore, or just have some toast with their coffee, or some cereal, etc.

I would have had HP sauce with the blood sausage. Also, where was the fried bread and Canadian style back bacon on the English plate? Loved that you both tried everything you were given and you were open to try something different.

Breakfast is still popular in rural areas of Montana and probably like that in almost all rural areas of every state. We have more time to do things because there are fewer people to navigate around on your way to work or school. The simple life

they're so cute

The best thing I hever had for breakfast was in Barcelona: Bocadillo. With a strong Cappuccino, it was amazing.

They're the cutest omg 😢❤

My mom always added a little milk to make the scrambled eggs fluffier. I do the same.

Love you guys!

Britt , the american lady , seems like Anya Taylor-Joy , especially the hair , i like how she knows about the "typical american breakfast" and agree with it 😂😂

This is like one person talking for everyone in America 😅but we are all individuals. I don’t eat syrup on my eggs, pomegranate with sugar or crispy bacon. But I appreciate video showing the difference between the two breakfasts.

If you want to see what REAL restaurants in the USA serve for breakfast/brunch, you can check out this video posted today by some New Zealanders who went to one of the oldest diners in the US for a traditional brunch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7LNSRTqzmog.html Note: the grilled cheese sandwich is a lunch dish; the huevos rancheros is from Mexico, but it's a very popular breakfast food in the US; the short rib situation in the middle of the table is quite a fancy breakfast. Finally, they got an extra dish, so they had plenty for five people, even though they were only four. The servings in the diner video are much more typical of "big breakfast" in the US. Not nearly as huge as what is shown here.

That American breakfast can be my last meal . Praises to the chef that looks absolutely perfect, honestly you couldn’t even pay for a breakfast of that size no one would serve it . That was made with love

Needed some good authentic maple syrup for the pancakes and to dip the eggs and meat in because it makes breakfast that much better. Also, some fluffy biscuits and jelly or gravy.

Couldn't they give them some knives and what's with the serving spoons to eat with ?

These are wonderful breakfasts, we from the Balkans eat everything, we just don't choose, so I would eat both breakfasts with pleasure!😋❤️☺️

Big breakfast for me growing up always had biscuits and gravy involved...lol

I put a splash milk in my eggs, it’s makes them light and fluffy. Also as for bacon I like the middle point where the bacon meat is crispy but the fat part is still soft. And I like cold baked beans.

In the US Army in the field on combat maneuvers, for breakfast is usually served is bacon, pork sausage, toast, French toast, regular bread, hashed brown potatoes, with SOS or Creamed Beef. I had all of them first thing in the morning during winter when I have to walk 10 mile or more in the snow or in the jungle. American breakfast is custom fit to what you want. On a road trip you can stop into McDonalds and have the Big Breakfast in my case is biscuit, pork sausage, eggs, and fried hashbrown. If I like for myself is toast, SOS, bacon, pork sausage, and eggs over easy. This will last me till the next day if I was to road trip from Las Vegas Nevada to Nashville Tennessee and not getting hungry along the way...

Big breakfasts on the weekend when you have time

l love black pudding l will get extra as replacement for the beans when l has eaten at places that do a full english/irish breakfast

Those foods look yummy...

Both breakfast dishes are yummy

“why are you not a scientist?” 10:10 sooo cute hahahah

The American girl likes food and not shy to eat and try, she is the type you’d like to take her out or invite her for a meal.

I live in Colorado and I call those breakfast potatoes Spuds. Spuds are one of my favorite things to have with you my breakfast.

Who would start their day with so much food. Large meals aren't healthy and would slow down if not ruin my day. I keep it light and clean.

Hash browns are not really part of the English breakfast that I grew up with. First time I became aware of them was when Mc Donalds first opened up over here back in the 70's. One of my favourite things you missed out though, I really like grilled toms. They have to go on first with salt and pepper.

We always have fruit as part of our big American breakfast 😁. Seasonal and with our pancakes, or toast and eggs 😂yummy! I need breakfast for dinner!

There's a Sausage McMuffin thing on the American one and a Wimpy Bender on the English one! Fair enough. I wouldn't say a Cumberland sausage is usual though. And absolutely never, ever have I encountered spinach on any of the British versions (laverbread on a Welsh one, yes). The hash browns are pretty common nowadays, I'm so glad they didnt forget the black pudding 👍 11:30-11:50 did any other Brits over 40 think "Edwina Currie" when they heard that bit? 🫣

1. Beans: tip whole can in lightly oiled, heated frying pan. Stir until thickened then add a handful of grated cheese (add to preference, more the better) stir until incorporated & melted. Toast as many slices of bread to your liking then place toast on a big plate, tip the cheesy bens on the toast & you're welcome! 2. Bacon: go to Tesco, Heron etc. & ask staff to show you to either Bacon mishaps, cooking bacon. (literally half a kilo of various shapes & sizes of pure Pig bacon, sometimes you get bacon steaks for less than a £1!)

The Brits will drink tea; which is also done in Canada; particularly in the Atlantic provinces. Canadians may also have a hot cereal or porridge; say oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc.

I’m American and I hate pancakes. I live in Southern West Virginia and a country breakfast for my family from generation to generation is: Butter milk biscuits Gravy (sometimes made with sausage or BOLOGNA) Fried potatoes Fried apples Eggs (fried or scrambled depends on preference) Sausage Bacon It would be set out for everyone to serve themselves. Condiments would be jelly, home made apple butter, ketchup, and sometimes a home made salsa or peppers that had a tomato base to them. The peppers are so yummy with eggs. 😋

WHERE'S THE BLOODY KNIFE!?!?!?!

Being English my take on fry up is streaky bacon, sausage,eggs (fried/poached/scrambled), black pudding, mushrooms, fried or tinned whole tomatoes, fried bread, Branson baked beans, bubble and squeak. Brown sauce and ketchup on the side along with toast. Absolutely never heard of spinach and in my onion hash browns are an American influence. Welsh, scoresheet and Irish have tier own added ingredients

I love black pudding, but super hard to find in the States

I was waiting to hear, "Salt, pepper, ketchup?" 😂

I only have pork sausages and back bacon(cooked, but never crispy). Never have hash browns, spinach, or black pudding, but always have fried bread. Lastly, I enjoy this cooked breakfast with a large mug of tea.

I don’t put syrup on my breakfast. I owned a cafe for 8 years and never saw anyone put syrup on their eggs. Ketchup sometimes and hot sauce more.

That's breakfast? Looks like it's more calories than I eat for a whole day.

I put my sunny eggs inbetween the pancakes with butter and syrup

Straight away i was like, that Toasts not Buttered, then they buttered it to my relief.

This is my first time ever seeing spinach on a fry up

I'm an Aussie and I love my bacon to be crispy. Our 'typical breakfast' (other than the daily rush of toast and cereal) is very similar to the English Breakfast. But then, we seemed to have adopted a lot of stuff that came from the UK, lol.

My reaction to your Full English is - where is the back bacon? Perhaps you cannot get any in the US. Also, where is the knife? In the UK we use knife and fork, and hold the knife and fork at the same time instead of this eating with a spoon and fork thing. Finally, we usually grill (broil in US terminology) the tomatoes instead of frying them. The other way tomatoes are served is "tinned tomatoes" which I really don't like.

That British girl loved all the potato items 😂

How can You have a "Full English' without a decent "Cuppa Rosie?"

Where in Britain do they have spinach for breakfast?

Black pudding is the best!

In American everyone breakfast is different. We have vegetables for breakfast. I eat fried tomatoes. No I dont put syrup on everything just pancakes
