I tested my DNA to see what foods I actually like… 

"Scotland knows how to make one thing, and one thing only, that's beautiful and perfect. You're probably expecting me to say shortbread. No. David Tennant."

that intro genuinely caught me off guard also, david tennant is a very fine man

Part 2 please.

Hey I love your long form content please make more like these. Thanks

I love the "extremely white" I can relate, much of my family ancestry is Norwegian .

Oh this is fun! I did one of those ancestry tests to find out what I had besides Irish and Italian and found out I was...Irish and Italian. They have fantastic food though, so I don't care.

Fun fact: The first croissant (recorded) was made by an Austrian baker.

If you do this again with the Netherlands included, get some stroopwafels! they are the best!!

part 2!!!! I LIVE IN THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!!

As a Dutchman I definitely (and kindly) ask you for a part 2.

Yes ...Part 2!

I wish I had a pastry for every time I thought your fuzzy microphone was the pastry!

Waiting to see you with that full grown beard.

My ancestry is a bit monolithic, 85% Finnish, 13% Scandinavian. The only curve was 2% Inuit, which upon investigation is likely attributable to Sami in my heritage. Pulla(cardamom bread) is probably the stereotypical Finnish baked good, though cinnamon rolls are also popular. My wife, on the other hand, is English, Welsh, German, and Danish, and makes a mean Welsh griddle cake.

I love how I knew it was M&S as you were going down the escalator. Oh no, does that mean im posh?

I love that you’ve already taken a bite out of them!😂that exactly what I would’ve done!

YAYYYY WAITING FOR PART TWO also David Tennant mentioned in best way possible🎉🎉🎉

A beautiful piece of shortbread wit that int it, didnae know you even was Scottish.

If you wanna do Austria, make a Punschkrapfen, literally translated Punch (the drink) dumpling. Contrary to it's name there is no alcohol in it, it tastes like my childhood! If you need a translated recipe let me know. :)

Scotland: David Tennant, Douglas Henshall and Sir Sean Connery!

Part 2 please. Love your shorts

part 2 would be good.

I’m so here for that Niche Kevin Magnussen CommentLMAO!!!!!

As a german... Your pronounciation on ,,Berliner" was very funny 😂 Also why didn't that donut have a hole?! 🥲

Love your channel! We are both incredibly white so you are not alone 😂

Fuller facial hair? Well... you got that going for you, which is nice. CV fodder. Frickadeller! It's new to me too. hehe... and fun to say.

You should try Limburgse vlaai. Im from the Netherlands, born and raised in the dutch province Limburg and we have a pastry called limburgse vlaai. It realy goes with every imaginable fruit that you can think of. Thats the one you should try and then after that you can eat a stroopwafel.

They're definitely not making clones of me. I might as well fill out my family's medical history by just writing a giant "yes" on the form.

I'm Dutch, and I demand a part 2 😡Okay, just joking. Doei ❤

0:00 - 0:04 quite the intro lol 😂

I saw you in RTE news. Congratulations! 🎉

Frikadeller (nicely pronounced, by the way) is the Danish meatballs. So not really a baked good 😂

1:28 I think you forgot not letting people tell you what to do.

The history of Danish pastry is super fun. (I think Andong may have a vid on it.) Danish bakers went on strike. Government (?) sends to Austria for scabs. Danish flaky pastry is born, and in Danish it's called vienerbroed (i.e. Vienna bread). PS Yes, please, most definitely do a part two with the other countries! Very fun!

I love the extremely White English × both sides. German and Norwegian. I don't look like my parents for awhile my sister and I looked like each other 😅

That dry English pastry is good for diarrhea, dries the intestines, but the fats: butter & others are not good, so some anti-acid and you're golden almost immediately. You're so cute in your PJs. Part 2 Yes!

I love short-grain white Japanese rice. I think that's more to do with eating it every meal in my parents house when I was a child than the heritage of my father. Although who really knows. I enjoy your "things people have said..." videos a lot and these glimpses into your life are most welcome. Thank you for sharing. Wouldn't it be nice if your channel got really big and you were able to travel to all these places to try the food of your ancestors?

"44% Irish. I'm practically a Leprechaun".. ROFL

Try barmbrack toasted and dripping in butter! Mmmmm

Can we get more long form content like this not skits btw i still like the long skits though

Super cool! Love your videos

Got so excited to see you uploaded a new video!! Really appreciate the long form

In America we soak the fruit cake in rum before a holiday.

The funny thing about Danish pastry is that in Danish, it is called "wienerbroed", so from Vienna - meaning it is very likely _actually_ Austrian. Which makes sense, the pastry culture in Austria _is_ very rich...

Hi Alice love your vids

your pronunciation for the swedish was mostly ok, it sounds like yord-goobbs-torta (which translates to strawberry cake) and dam soccer(which is a type of sugar I think). Also, as someone who lives in Sweden (but is actually english), you find cinnamon buns over here a LOT, and they are delicious when home baked :D

As a german I am almost offended (not really) that you substituted a Berliner with a Donut. And yes: They are called Berliner, even though there are regions in Germany where you might get trouble if you call them like this. (Berlin for example 😉) By the way. I like your accent. Your 'Tut mir Leid.' was nicely done. People even butcher an easy sentence like this.

omagahh new vid :o

I had never heard of something like this before

1:31 😂😂😂😂😂😂 PRICELESS L❤VE YOUR CONTENT BX NYC

0:18 you'd look great with a goatee.

You won't find Berliner in Berlin. It is crazy but they call it Pfannkuchen. Which means pancake and is a totally different thing. It is a long lasting feud between different parts of Germany about ehat those things are called. Team Berliner 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

54 Seconds ago gang where ya at ?

Interesting Alice! You got some confirmation of your origins and it seems your cool with it. Should try mexican bakery someday 👌😋 Hope you like it!

WHAT IM SO EARLY?!

ferrari turtle?!?! maybe i'll buy one...looks up online...over 1300 dollars. holy cow, guess i wont have one then.

Genetics be "damned", I eat pizza. And hamburger, lots of hamburger. And gumbo, love gumbo. And, I'm a Texan regardless of where my ancestors came from.

Hope it wasn't through 23AndMe, given the recent news that they are in financial trouble, and so I wouldn't be surprised if they'll be looking for buyers for all that genetic data...

Great content, Alice. Your videos are so entertaining. Could you comment on Polish deserts, please? I'm 50% Polish and love my pączki, kolachky, potica, and etc. Not exclusively Polish, but they are what I remember. Car girl, hun? You mentioned Magnussen, Vettel, and Top Gear. I get up early on Sunday mornings here in Chicago to watch the races. I'm pulling for the Papaya Team of Norris & Piastri.

I absolutely love that you know and Mention Kevin Magnussen and say frikadeller and that is well said. So you have a part of Danish DNA, that's so cool. And sure you should make a part 2. Just remember not to wave the hand with the mic. so much around, the sound goes a lot up and down 💕 Hugs from a Dane 🫂

Imagine having Dutch parents, grandparents, greatparents etc. and a DNA test tells you you are 63% English... I just might be more English than the English themselves!

Without wanting to disappoint you, but the french didn't invent the croissant... In fact ist's Austrian... I like your kind of humor very much and i'm looking forward to part 2

the original Bakewell Pudding was created in Bakewell, Derbyshire UK... and its a tasty treat.... but very different from Mr Kiplings... but that good too.... so you are really at home in Dublin with the Viking and Irish mix....

I would never call Barmbrack a fruitcake, it's a fruit loaf... a slice of it with a bit of butter & jam with a cuppa and you're set. 🙂 edit; greetings from Co. Antrim and you should know better. lol

Okay..... What's wrong with something tasting like a sausage roll? They are the greatest thing ever made. God himself must have made it. Can you tell I love Sausage Rolls? 🤣 Mine came back as Irish, English and Eastern European (my mom's side is 100% Hungarian) and a smattering of Asian (like most Hungarians). At least I got some good food and desserts in there (definitely not from the English and Irish...... Though I love y'all. You just can't cook anything that's not boiled).

I've never been convinced that Mr Kipling actually makes food, it all feels like plasterboard mixed with breadcrumbs to me. Mind you, even a good Bakewell Tart isn't much to write home about ... try a lemon meringue pie instead, or a jam roly-poly with custard. :D

I'm German, Irish and Dutch also very white.Your DNA should show that you're cute and adorable 😊😊

The first cake you tried sounds like a variant of a French "King Cake," which is also popular in the States during Mardi Gras. I took one of those DNA tests a couple years ago, and I was somewhat surprised by the results. I was less Irish than expected, but more Italian. I had 0 Scandinavian even though my grandmother was Swedish. My guess is that my ancestors moved around Europe quite a bit, and so even if my ancestors had occupied a certain place for generations, their genetic origins were elsewhere. I'd love to see more pastry reviews. There are so many different foods around the world, and it's fascinating to see how regional tastes do or don't differ.

Alice, thanks for the interesting video! Please do a part 2! I've had my DNA tested too. 6% of my DNA came from Ireland. I'm more English and Welsh. 🙂

You're hardly excused for the donut. It's too dense to compare to a Berliner but you already know that. Essential question: what kind of filling?

First, I want a second part 😺 Second, about the sausage smell, the last beers of Oktoberfest tasted like marmalade, which made me think, "Did they made marmalade on this?"

Please add 2db to the sound, so that I don't have to turn mine all the way to 666% in order to hear properly. Also, after this clip, you might get requests to stock up those spit test tubes 😅 Long live cinnamon roll dominion!

I'm at least 1/2 German. I recommend lebkuchen, nurnberger cookies, and zimtsterne (all cookies); zwetchgenkuchen (blue/italian plums), johannesbeernkuchen(fresh red currants), and heidelbeernkuchen (blueberries) (all cakes); and yeast rolls (roll the dough out into a large circle, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, cut into wedges, put raisins or jam at the wide end, roll it up like a croissant, turn the horns in a bit, bake til done, sugar glaze optional).

Alice, dearheart. Sorry about your experience with a dry Bakewell. Take yourself to Bakewell for a weekend, and sample the real thing. If you do decide to visit, I would suggest the last Saturday of the month, they have a rather splendid farmers market. 😊

I do like family history and DNA tests. I discovered that I was, latest estimate, 16% Irish and 30 % Irish, and I didn't know I had any Irish or Scottish ancestry at all, although I later found an immigrant from Belfast in my family tree, and as one of my relatives said "Didn't your father once say he had a great-grandfather who came from Scotland by way of Nova Scotia? A man with a drinking problem?", and yes, I sort of found him too (although nothing about a drinking problem), and I had difficulty figuring out which Scottish immigrant he was out of a large number of them in the same area with the same name. But no doubt that explains my love of traditional Irish music and good shortbread. The rest of my ancestry is mostly English if you go back far enough to find ancestors who were actually in England at some point in their lives and not in the Colonies, and even some Scandinavian genes that I blame on ancient Vikings.

Origins. Roman spice traders introduced the Sri Lankan cinnamon spice to Europe. The spice later began to be used in Swedish pastries, with the modern kanelbulle ( lit. ''cinnamon bun'') being created after the first world war.

A proper fresh Bakewell Tart is anything but dry. You should visit Bakewell one day because what better place to go for a baker.

I'm about 88% Irisn and English (born in the USA, 16th generation even). I'd love some more desserts.

If I judged my ancestry by what foods I ate I would be mostly Tacos --- But I'm a white guy who lives in northern Texas :)

Surely, the best way to test foods to see if you like them is to use your mouth and tongue. Still, fascinating video. I am just glad she didn't have Australian ancestors. I can't imagined her eating kangaroo or crocodile meat. They taste ok, but the kangaroo meat makes you jumpy and the crocodile meat makes you snappy. 😂 (Sorry.)

At least you are outside of The Ancestral DNA Percentage of *Inbreeding* in You’re Genetic Line.. 🤔I think that’s go to be above 50% for it to be even suggested

I'm 72 years old and live in New Jersey yet my DNA is very comparable to yours. Apparently some of my Mother's relatives perished in steerage on the Titanic. If I were 50 years younger I'd be the intolerable problem on your doorstep. Please give us a part 2.

Really love the new long videos, keep it up! For your part 2, you can simply buy a croissant for austria. Its not actually french. What happened is after the city of vienna fought of the osmans they created the kipferl as celebration for the victory. The croissant is a modified version of it that got made later on. A famous baker whose name I forgot moved to france where the croissant gained huge popularity. And that is why everybody thinks they're french. They're not, get your own pastries france :') (just google it or watch a video on it its not made up I promise)

I'm a Swede, our cinnamon buns are famous sure and we take pride in them. But we actually have a few other baked goods that are much more unique for sweden. Please try the Princess cake, a sponge cake with a layer of marsipan or the Semla bun. :)

As an American, sending off my DNA to some company seems risky. For example, what if that company sells it off to a health insurance corp? They find out you have a generic predisposition to this or that health problem and up go your premiums.

Part 2 please! I'm half Irish, half Dutch (or so my parents tell me). I'd love to see what you find to try from the Netherlands. I love when my mother makes banket (I think that's how it's spelled, it's an almond pastry).

Ha ha ha ha!!! This was fun to watch. I usually say you don't seem real. This is because I don't think you are. Lol!!! Thank you for the video where you seem like you are real.

in Berlin you do not find Berliner, they call it Pfankuchen no one knows why. Ohter parts call it Krapfen or Krappen?. If you want a war in a German Forum, you can do it with caling a Berliner a Berliner.

I challenge you! Most pointless English regional baked good has to be Moore Dorset knobs.... Go on... I dare you!

Yeah! Part II. More videos of you being your absolutely adorable self. ♥

The Swedes do something called a Princess cake. Germans have Black Forest Cake.

My favorite German pastry was not a donut, but a Schokocroissant... so good.

That was an interesting and very enjoyable food review- Grüße aus Berlin :D

This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours and 1:18 in and I’m dying 💀🤣 Absolutely love your content hun

The Fruitbread reminds me on one of J.R.R. Tolkiens short stories, were the Baker hides trinkets and small gifts for children in his cake. :)

If you want a Berliner in Berlin, you have to order a Pancake "Pfannkuchen" in german.

If you try something out of the Netherlands, try a roze koek (pink cookie). It's my favorite thing from the bakery. But please make sure it's actually from a bakery, the supermarket ones are not that good

I really like the long-form content you’ve done! This was really fun, it would be neat to see more (ancestry or no). Around the World in Desserts would be cool, too.

I haven't finished the video yet, but have to comment, I am in love!!! Your sence of humor has captivated me!

your DNA is 100% "I've already taken a bite out of it" XD
