In Portugal, big food is a "francesinha".The secret is on the sauce. It contains white whine or whisky, containing a big chunky piece of meet, all kind of sausages, chesse and a plate filled of fries. The thing is really hot. Eating two is a challenge worthy of a "Man VS Food" episode.
If you could get to Springfield Illinois we got this thing called a horseshoe. It's an hamburger patty (or whatever meat you choose) on A slice of Texas toast, covered with French fries and the whole thing is drenched with cheese sauce. Talk about a heart attack but it's delicious.
Another very funny look at us folks here in the states. It's kind of fun to see ourselves from a different perspective. I found your comments on the landscape of Ohio to be interesting. Having been to England myself, I feel the landscape is very similar, especially when you get further outside central Ohio.(some of it rivals the Cotswolds for beauty IMHO) As for the comments concerning obese Americans, we do have an obesity problem and this is becoming a world-wide issue.( I was in Japan in April and I saw many overweight Japanese) I blame much of this on the spread of the fast-food take away food joints and our need for salty foods.
I wish I would have known you were here. I would have liked to have shaken your hands and and bought you a beer. This bd's is one of my favorite places to eat.
I like the fact that he tells us from europe that the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car when UK is almost the only place they have the steering wheel on the right side of the car. :/
its weird because all of you European fan are like omg all that food and im off in Texas like that's not even the start of American food :D did you try deep fried bacon donuts?
Live near St. Louis. Look up a Grizzly Burger. The world's most unhealthy burger. Its also know as the Krispy Kreme Burger. A bacon Cheeseburger using Krispy Kreme Doughnuts as the buns
Also that's not something specifically american. We have all-you-can-eat-restaurants like this everywhere, and i always take all-you-can-eat as a challenge.
I have searched google for these deep fried bacon donuts that you speak of. I've seen some sexy images on google in my time, but never before has an image made me think "don't lick the screen, don't lick the screen, don't lick the screen".
So on the last America Tour video a guy was complaning that Americans were getting annoying, and complaining. All I've seen is Europeans of some sort complaining, and I really am confused.
Pudi Pal Games (aka Nerf) You can't say that all Europeans are hypocrites based off the comments of a youtube video, and also how does my comment somehow prove your point?
Stale Milk I'm not saying all Europeans are hypocrites. Just more are hypocrites than Americans are on these videos. Yes, Katherine Winyala may have said that rudely, but from what I've seen (on these videos, atleast) her comment is being proved true.
Pudi Pal Games (aka Nerf) I beg to differ, I think there's just a few twats that spoil the bunch, I don't think there is a majority American nor European that are hypocrites, just, like I said before, a few make the rest seem bad.
To be honest, this is the first time I have ever seen what the Mighty Jingles looks like in real life. He looks like my uncle on my mom's side of the family xD
Jingles you need to get your money back! Those portions are so small... come on down to the great state of Texas. We'll treat you right. I've got a guest room. That... probably came off weird. But yeah, we have a restaurant here called Tradicio (it's Brazilian) they come around with all sorts of meat on skewers and you just eat to your hearts content. It's a carnivores dream. A lot like Fogo de Cao (I think that's how it's spelled) if you know what that is, just less expensive.
I like how people hate on Americans for being fat. Give almost the entire population of a country excess money, good food, people who will cook the food for you, and an easy way to access the and any country would get fat. See Mexico and China for recent examples. We did it first so we got famous for it :P
Well, I'm not so sure. The major cities in China have always been pretty rich, and Japan-- and they have amazing food. Obesity is uncomparably lower over there. It's not just America anyway, the UK is nearly, if not as, bad. It's because of fast-food culture, and poor nutritional value in the poor food, that probably explains why. The only way the UK and America can sense 'flavour' is through excess sugar and fat.
William Fenton Well, Eastern countries just have a considerably more healthy diet than western countries, even when eaten in excess. In Japan for example, most of the dishes there are served with rice or some type of grain, along with vegetables with another large portion of their dishes.
dragonheart967 Love of dairy products probably doesn't help. Though they love dairy in India as well - so I"m not sure what the fat levels are like there compared to say China.
William Fenton In Japan, they fire you for being fat, they purposely make transportation seats smaller to make fat people feel bad, and the food is good? I'll give it that Japan has some good food for the lack of resources they have but it's pretty basic salt+sugar crap that anyone with basic culinary skills would cringe at. However, if you are on a tight budget and don't have too many spices, yes, Japanese food is good. The 'great' food you see are probably something you'd eat once a year of once every 6 months.
I was going to say that it looks disgusting and raw, then realised that it might look that way because it is and then they cook it for you. Awesome, but I personally never like buffets, probably just because I worry that some snot-faced kid sneezed over everything :/
To all those that have yet to come and visit America WELCOME TO AMERICA!!!! I hope most of you could come to America and if you hate America that's to bad you didn't even try it lol!!!
well that's it for world of tanks. Jingles won't be able to fit through the tank hatch anymore, Wait..... he might still be able play some of the German tier 10 heavies!
Here we see the young and inexperienced Gnome venture forth into a strange, fat land known as america. Will he successfully contract diabetes? Lets find out next time.
Cyanide Cloud Fair enough, but if we have to go big we have to go proper. Danish "Højtbelagt Smørrebrød". deal.dk/storage/32000/1542/54c5e2a4ba6b1ac5e9f47a253980109a.jpg Open faced Rye-bread sandwiches with stacks upon stacks of topping. And they are never served one at a time. You get a platter. But we could start small for your sake. A "Veterinarians Midnight Snack". On a piece of dark rye bread, a layer of leverpostej (basically a poor mans version of Foie Gras) is topped with a slice of corned beef (salt kød) and a slice of meat aspic (sky). This is all decorated with raw onion rings and cress
DeadKnuckles yeah amricans r big and they eat big but still they r nice ppl and not all of them r fattys just some1 of them like in europe who care what size ppl r i care only what they r like no1 wanna be friend with complete ass hole
Generally speaking, as an American, most people only go to restaurants like that sparingly. If anyone were to go to places like that frequently, they would be guaranteed to get fat very quickly.
Makes sense, the US Interstate system is modeled on the German Autobahn. Ike like the idea because he was part of an expedition that found out that it was not easy to go from one side of the country to another and saw how easy it was to get around on the Autobahn during WWII. He pushed for a similar thing to be built here when he became president.
Well it is a buffet. If you don't have any around you consider yourself lucky. Personally I find them revolting and in serious need of a health inspection. Also, the way that all is cooked is just how many asian foods are fried... as in the whole meal is fried at the same time that way to mix juices and flavors that compliment each other.
***** American is everything.. Because we're a melting pot. To say we have no high class food is absolutely hilarious.. But at the same time the term "high class food" is a joke in itself. It's something used by the rich to make themselves feel entitled for paying way too much for something.
We have one of these in my hometown. A bit better than the one you visit here, Jingles, but nonetheless still amazing food. Compared to the rest of the restaurants you visited, how would you rate this?
killman369547 You are Americans. As are all the people in the various states that form the United States, and all the people in Mexico, and...actually, now that I think of it, everyone who lives in the western hemisphere is an American of some kind or another. We just have ourselves divided up into regions with names like, "Brazil" and "Alaska" and "Cuba." America even includes made up places from fairy tales, like "Wisconsin" and "Quebec," which is kind of silly, since they don't really exist :)
Ohio flat?? Jungles, Jingles, Jingles, You see Kansas. It is the flatest state in the Midwest. Should know. Live 5 minutes away from the stateline between Missouri and Kansas.
It is safe. As all the food is cooked all at the same time. So all those nasty food born illnesses are killed. It is perfectly food safe. I've eaten at a DB a few times and I can tell you. It is the mixing of the surfe with turf at the same time that can kill you. As most seafood cooked too long becomes tire rubber. So don't mix like that.
Qardo the problem with seafood is the toxin they tend to have if you dont get it from a reputable supplier and in most cases you cant just cook it out of the food. And with chicken its all about getting to the correct temp 165F for 15s. Tho that wont help if it has been sitting in the temperature danger zone too long .
Mansen No it's not safe have you heard of salmonella? You have to cook chicken so there is no pink meat left this only applies to countries with poor hygiene and countries that import a lot of meat.
Epun kanava ;_; Norovirus & Shigella is for poor hygiene while Salmonella & Clostridium perfringens is an infection handling food a proper way will minimize the chances an outbreak will happen but a lot of places are not so by the book when it comes to proper food handling safety and sanitation.
***** Agreed. I don't know if the laws are different in Ohio but in California I know that big trucks like that or even just some guy towing his boat would be in violation if he was in the left lane.
In all honesty, yes, you can pass in which ever lane you want. People these days are so incompetent behind the wheel and are so ignorant of the fact that the inside lane is a passing lane that it almost forces you to undertake on a regular basis. Now, those "No trucks left lane" areas are complete bullshit. Being a trucker myself, that crap sometimes makes my life a real hassle when trying to maneuver around the slow, inconsistent pricks out on the road. Not gonna lie either, I sometimes ignore those stupid signs and hammer down in the left lane anyway. Got work to do and miles to cover, c'mon.
***** Knightlyfrog No offense, but you guys really didn't answer the question. If someone asks 'is such and such legal in the US', you generally don't want to make an assertion based on an individual state. How Fly? The correct answer is: it depends on which state you are in. Most states have laws against overtaking on the right but, again most, also have situational stipulations to such laws. I tried to search briefly for information and it appears that in Ohio one such stipulation has to do with 3 lane, or more, highways. Andrei Catalin "Technically" overtook is just a glorified term for passing, and it doesn't even specifically mean you have to move back into the original lane you were in. He overtook the first 18-wheeler (Reinhart) in the video.
San4311 Freedom and democracy in America? LOL!! The land that monitors it's own people, and rest of the world with NSA, and then wants to arrest and trial the guy who told the world about this crime and calling him a traitor. Freedom and democracy my big ass..
OHIO?!?! That is probably the WORST state to visit... there's nothing there!!! The main activity for people who live in Ohio is.. trying to get out of Ohio!!!! That's unfortunate, Jingles. I hope you managed to have fun there, anyway. Next time, come visit a real state.
Not "defending" 'Murica really, but the reason it tells you what you can eat is because those Interstates are often used for roadtrips, and you don't want to stop for the night and only have McDonalds to eat.
YES JINGLES. I really don't know why I get so happy when you release a video but I do! (I'm probably just eager to gain your approval so I can I have a afternoon off a month when I'm forced to work in the salt mines)
I really llke the look of the Mongolian BBQ, enough meat on there for me for a week lol - the mix of Teriyaki & Mongolian Ginger sounds really lip smacking good - I'm envious lol :) Liking your other vids too, all with your irepressable humour, insight & historical understanding (as when).
You come to America and as an example you eat at a strip mall Mongolian BBQ place? Come on Jingles, I expected better. Then onto a place that specializes in German food? Please tell me you had a good classic cheeseburger, or some real authentic USA BBQ while you were there.
O_o Is it normal in the US that trucks use the far left lane on a highway? Holy crap. Also, yeeeah Mongolian Grills are awesome. Though tat guy didn't look very mongolian
Don't pack it down too much or adding sauces will cause a over-flow. I filled the ingredient bar & sauce bar at a Mongolian Grill for over a year...so I know this 1st hand.
Haters gonna hate, lol. In all honesty eating this horrible every day would be pretty damn horrific, and you probably wouldnt make it past 20, but the simple fact is a huge majority of us don't eat like this and when and if you do its very very seldom. Nobody will believe that though. The most entertaining thing about this is Jingles looked like he had a great time here lol, he seemed to enjoy himself just fine, and thats because people in general like to eat, not just Americans. If you walked into this place to eat I dont care what ethnicity you are or where you come from, you are gonna eat. I promise. We do have an obesity problem in the U.S. no doubt, but there are those of us who aren't obese and we shouldn't be put in the same category as those who are, thats just not fair to us. Make fun of the person, not the country he/she lives in. When we learn how to say no to cheap red meats and how to say no to sweetie sugary foods then our problem will slowly disappear, but that will probably never happen, and very soon the rest of the world will join America and Mexico in overwhelming obesity percentages. Oh well, I will be dead and gone by then, and I will never join those ranks. Glad you had fun Jingles, hope you enjoyed your Mongolian splurge. Cant wait to see how much ignorant hate this comment gets :D
Canadian highways are pretty much the same, not just an American thing. All the exits have listings of the nearest gas stations, hotels, restaurants, etc. Our restaurants are pretty much the same too. It's just the UK that is ass backwards :P
Hey Jingles, those highway signs, which tell you the kind of food you get there, are also common in Germany. ;) Maybe you want to visit the German Tank Museum in Munster one day?
There are a plenty of hills in the south, southeastern, and east parts of Ohio, nearer the Appalachians. It was the glaciers of the last Ice Age that ground the land down flatter when they extended almost as far as the Ohio River. But yeah, plenty of flat farmland in the middle. I think it's a good state to live in.
Jingles stop ordering these absurd amounts of food! You're making America look worse! The ignorant people who think Americans are ignorant (or more ignorant than their countries) will think we are all like that!
Who cares what the poor people think? We have it good in America and actually have enough to eat. Let them know how good we have it so they can be filled with jealous hate.
Unholy_Death Hahahaha well I mean we don't want to upset the reasonable people either! I feel like there are better places to go to show off our "opulence" than a crappy Mongolian BBQ chain
we got a place a lot like that here were i live, Its called Mongolia grill, they dont let you put your own meat into the bowl and the selection of meats and sauces is more limited, but dam our they good.
I used to eat at a place like this down in London, called the Blue Hawaii... Sadly it's closed down now... It was my favorite place to eat, I was there for more than a few birthdays :) Question is Jingles... How much did the waistline grow from your visit? ;)
You need to visit Wisconsin, then. It goes from flat to hilly in the blink of an eye. Plus, our food is great. You should try Curley's Pub at Lambeau Field! BUT, I think you would love to visit Oshkosh. They are the home of the EAA museum. during the summer, they host EAA Airventure. A LOT of old warbirds show up, including FiFi. Next year, there will be 2 B29's, Fifi and Doc.
