UK vs USA Food Fight | 5 Dishes, SAME name VERY Different! ft  

the only thing that matters is that this just about makes up for that Jada bullshit 😂😂😂😂

I don't know if you're talking about what I think you're talking about, if so that is a wild comment 🤣

I never heard that term before (and I've been around long enough at 39), I guess bc I'm female. Googled it. Do not recommend

@@DrShakamoto.It absolutely is, assuming you're thinking about something we're all avoiding elaborating on for reasons that would be obvious.

I think Ebbers and Josh match in personality

Pass it on mythical, yes!!

I think the The "Takeaway Redemption" that birthed Sorted's version of the "Wiggan Slappy" qualifies as an unofficial "Snack Smash". But Josh, Nicole, Trevor, and Vi in a "Pass It On" would be chaos. But so much fun to watch!!!

OMG YESSSS!!! Max, Ben, Josh, Kush and also other Ben?! I would love to see that pass it on or chef off!

I want the Mythical Kitcheneers to do the burger challenge... but also Pass It On would be amazing. The chaos Josh, Trevor and Lilly can create with the normals would make Ben, V, and Nicole scramble to save the day!

@@brazilianseac Yes! Forgot about the Sub 10 Min Burger challenge. Imagine the CHAOS!

😂

Muffins are to cupcakes as crackers are to cookies. If you told someone that you had cookies and gave them English tea biscuits, they would not be happy.

And muffins are so much greasier than the cake within a cupcake. (I don't particularly like muffins for that reason.)

@@MossyMozart Greasy? I don't recall ever hearing that before. Maybe the pan was over greased?

Muffins typically don't have anywhere near the sugar count of a cupcake. They're more akin to a pumpkin loaf, or a raisin loaf... Then a cupcake. And muffins are typically served naked on top. No frosting.

yep, and we differentiate them by heat (i.e. hot chip)

@@vanessagoddess1So you wouldn’t call a spicy chip a hot chip?

​@@williamhardee88635 they would call it a spicy chip

I had an American client once who got so angry at me for calling something a chip - he told me that I had to call them fries and I was like - so you guys say fish and fries not fish and chips? He said that was the only exception :P

@@battlestarkoala We don’t call it Fish and Chips everytime we have Fish with fries though. We only call it that when we’re referencing the Brits. Most people would just say I got fish with a side of fries, because you usually have multiple options for sides.

or the adjective 'hot' in front of it 😂

Ah yes, so both the Brits and Americans can agree that you guys are wrong half the time!

And New Zealand agrees!

That's wonderfully confusing and I love it

Why does Australia insist on ambiguity?

The pure chaos that Josh would create would be incredible. No one would have any idea how to pick up after him lol.

That would be absolutely amazing! Josh has just the right energy for Pass It On!

that would be incredible

Duuuude!!! yaaaaassssss

And don't forget a sub 10-minute burger.

Shoutout to the BELGIANS

fritten/frites

You're well-versed in history. You should know!

Love your channel so much, wherever i am you always makes me feel at home haha

I agree so much with the 'chips'. It needed to be said. Brittish soggy fries are horrible :D

I politely disagree on the chip debate

Border security is going to have some questions for you the next time you try and get back into America. :P

We're here for it!

Come for the cooking and food info. But come back for the comedy! Every time I see Max, I flashback to him demonstrating the structural integrity of hard tack or naval biscuit.

I was about to comment this as soon as I heard the 3rd one but ya beat me to it! :D

Dude, same! These are my three mains and I was excited at the thumbnail and so happy when I saw Max

When Ben mentioned that their navy survived on biscuits, I was expecting the insert of Max tapping his hardtack

You sir sound like you’ve never had a Milano cookie from Pepperidge Farm.

@@williamhardee8863Pepperidge Farms Remembers

interesting fact though, the Americans invented the teabag. Growing up, my parents refused to accept a cup of tea that was made with teabags, it had to be loose tea in a pot.

Use an electric jug/kettle to boil water!

We want more of that!!

Came here to say the same thing :D 3 times the content in one video - efficient entertainment! :D

If you got Babish you would have the Avengers of food youtubers

Weird pick-me-up for this week, but I'm all for it!

lol, it'd be fun to see Josh against the Sorted normies :D can't you just see the hijinks that would ensue?

Fuck yeah.

a Kush vs. Josh battle would be utter chaos, and I'm ALL FOR IT!! XD

Yes

Kush v Josh for max chaos

In Russia, muffins are "kex"

Biscuits are also called "kex" in Icelandic, it comes from the English word "cakes" (the Swedish one does too). We have a different word for cookies, those are called smákökur (small cakes). We call blood sausages blóðmör (bloodfat), and pudding is búðingur (from the French boudain as well).

well that's certainly one way to sort them out. but kex is almost kek that people online were using as a replacement for lol for a bit.

I can acknowledge that the Dutch accept all cookies/koekjes.

The multiverse of crazy food colliding!

The best “foodie” mash up in my RU-vid universe :)

I actually screamed😂

Yeah, he was really bad at arguing his side.

In addition, both presented had exactly the same texture.

All the young kids are infatuated with the English these days, Josh probably let him win so it wouldn't be "rude," he didn't put half his chaos power level 9000 in on this one.

Thank you! That drove me nuts!

He didn't strike me as being all that knowledgeable overall, so I have to doubt he's familiar with all that.

Grabbing a pie means very different things... In the USA, you grab pizza. In the UK, Australia and NZ grabbing a pie, means grabbing a pie usually a meat filled pastry cooked in a pie dish..

@@coreygardner1371 Um, to some people yes. But to a large portion of Americans, "pie" is specifically that sweet thing we eat at the holidays; pizza pie is context.

​@coreygardner1371 I'm American and to me pie can be a dessert or a savory meat dish such as chicken pot pie or Shepard's pie. I don't know anyone who refers to pizza as pie.

@@coreygardner1371 The only pizza I consider a pie is Chicago deep dish. Also pie can be savory but the majority of the time it'll be a sweet thing in the US.

@@Andrew-it7fb I may watch too much TV...

defiantly! max is a boss

loved seeing some interesting expressive faces from him that I haven't seen on his own channel

His takes kinda sucked

why?

Love Max Miller! Hope to see him in more places.

AMEN. ✌🏻

I read that the breakfast dish we call biscuits and gravy was supposedly invented in the southern Appalachian region of the US. American biscuits are quite important to southern culture. We have them for various meals.

He’s like kinda sexy here no? I was like, Daaamn!

@@DScritchy Someone wants a taste of Tasting History, eh?

He is awesome..

Mythical Max History….. thinking it would be an amazing experience. Kinda like the Horrible Histories

​@@LordDragox412I think we all do! 😂😂😂

Yeah that's just totally wrong, to make Tea you should either boil an electric kettle, or put a tea pot on the hob and boil the water, and then add tea leaves or bags and steep the tea in the pot

Ditto! A super interesting and lovely guy.

​@@SortedFoodYou guys are awesome 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

A mythical Max Miller Sorted food video even. :)

*here

I didn't expect this and it was so fun to watch!!!

OMG yes! I’d love to see Max walk the normals through an ancient recipe!

2nd this! Especially one of the really olde ones!

I want to see Max subjected to the 10 Minute Burger Challenge. Get him on the leader board.

that's how I've always explained it to my fellow Americans. For the Brits, it's the name of the method, not the end product.

Black pudding is essentially a sausage, pudding origins is Latin and it translates to Sausage

Here we use the term for pudding in the context for the sweet that comes after Lunch or Dinner, and we have such a huge variety of puddings

And with Max to mediate!

:) you made me smile, my Nanna used to make 'Bread and Butter pudding', buttered bread, with which ever jam or marmalade that needed to be used up, or sometimes just sugar and cinnamon, with eggs and milk mixed and poured over, then baked until set, delicious! And she used to make her own 'Pork Brawn', a jellied meat mix with herbs and spices and the bone broth used to 'gel' it all together in a "Brawn Press' :) also delicious, and both saved so much food from being wasted, as well as being cheap too

We need a cookoff.

Conversationally both are extremely respectful of their company and they'd be capable of holding conversations with most anybody

I had no clue there were old ones! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes I would watch the heck out of this

This would be everything huh?

@@SortedFoodGordon Ramsay would be a great addition to Josh and the normals. A pass it on with a vengeance. 🤯

Josh on the 10 minute burger challenge would be so fun. Maybe only Matty Matheson would be more chaotic.

You got the power, make it happen ;) @@SortedFood

I'm still perplexed at this - jelly and mayonnaise just don't go together! I think cool whip is a sort of fake cream, so I kind of get that one but definitely not mayonnaise. In the UK we just have jelly and ice cream (for birthday parties), unless it's school dinners then they serve individual portions with squirty cream and a chocolate button on top (pre-prepped).

@@hannahk1306 Jello salad is a bit of a historical dish at this point. Only the older generations really make it anymore. Predominantly in the Midwest region. The history is that when shelf safe instant jelly first came out on the market as Jell-O, it wasn't that popular. Eventually the inventor sold the production to a food company that ran a massive advertising campaign. They mainly targeted mothers and advertised it as a fun snack or dessert for the kids. Then some time after that success and all families were eating Jell-O, the company tried to recreate the success by inventing recipes that turned the dish into a side (or possibly even a main), rather than a dessert or snack. And well... the food company had a bunch of other products it also wanted to sell, so you get stuff in the recipes like Cool Whip, mayonnaise, tuna, cottage cheese, peas, marshmallows, etc... This died out of popularity in the late 60's with the rise of the women's movement. It is largely said that when more women began working, they no longer had time to make these abominations, rather than just making Jell-O straight from the box.

I'm from the US and I've never heard of putting mayo and jello together. That just sounds awful.

@@TerraHv1Check out Dylan Hollis, he has a bunch of shorts on "foods" like that. Should give you an idea of what fever dream brought about that abomination.

As an American I also had a look of horror on my face. Who thought to put Jello and mayo together, does it make it a savory dish?

the cupcake argument he made was too strong.

💯

Agreed!

Let's hope he sticks around for long enough so we'll see a 'History of the UK vs US nosh', in which he'll have to do a recap of this episode ;3

Max has been on A Hot Dog is a Sandwich before. It’s Ben that was the surprise for me!

One of the most delightful surprises I've ever seen on RU-vid. I've been watching Max for years; he's a lovely fellow.

same here in New Zealand

Yeah, Canadians would win every round in this.

Yeah I've been feeling that through this whole video lol. We exist in between them culturally lol

I live in Canada but am from Australia. Canada definitely leans more toward the US side than the UK side.

@@Ambziiedepends on where in canada you are and what generation you’re from, where i am in NL chips, puddings, biscuits, muffins and jelly are all used to refer to either of the products shown by both sides.

naaaah

Absolutely

...is the correct answer. I'm not mad that you didn't know this, Ben, I'm just disappointed.

yes and it's the same in New Zeland, My mum used to make crab apple jelly, it was soo good

I remember from childhood a very thick fruity gelatin sweet that I got in England. Don't remember what it was called, but the black currant flavor was my favorite. I'd probably order some today if I could remember what it was called!

Quince jelly is another :D

I came here to say the exact same thing. There's also red currant jelly. Basically any jam that is strained to remove the fibre and seeds is then referred to as a jelly.

Does he have a culinary diploma on his name? If they do he is a chef. otherwise he can only be a cook.

Historian.

Based on his Wikipedia page I'd say he's what RU-vid likes to call a 'home cook' (and also a completely amazing human being, I love him)

Pancakes in england are basically a version of french crepes, we just tend to make them a tiny bit thicker. We do have something similar to the american style of pancake too, but they're much smaller and usually called 'drop scones' or 'scotch pancakes'. The big, fluffy, plate-sized american pancakes we would just call an 'american pancake'. Flapjacks, to us in the UK, are much more like a sort of sweet, dense, cereal bar or oat cake. They're made from oats and golden syrup most of the time and can have raisens or sultanas in them.

It’s traditional for pancakes to have lemon and sugar on them and rolled up 😊

Pancakes are pancakes. American pancakes are scotch pancakes.

Down to earth?? Depends on what that means. He is usually bouncing around on all 4 walls ;-)

I assume he was limited to whatever was available in the British Food aisle of the local Supermarket :)

The first food? The darker ones were bourbons and the lighter ones were custard creams

@@ChrisKavanagh11 3:01 Garibaldis closest to the camera

I'm always amazed when people tell me they did that. A Serbian guy I gamed with learned English just from films. I've tried a few times to pick up languages, mostly German and Spanish, from TV and found it impossible. So although we're very confusing, sorry, you're incredibly wondrous. UK is very poor at making the effort to converse with the rest of the non English speaking world.

​@@stiffk666 As an English person, I think we sometimes get an unfair reputation when it comes to languages spoken. Think about it this way: if you learn English, you can travel to almost any corner of the world. Yet, even though I speak some Italian, my wife speaks French and German, and I have friends who speak Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and so on, we all struggle to communicate in 98% of places we visit. There are lots of people that don't bother learning much at all, and it's due to not having any necessity to do so. So, I wouldn't say our effort is poor, if the global lingua franca was Serbian, I reckon I'd be speaking Serbian and perhaps you wouldn't have attempted to learn English :)

@@stiffk666- the 'problem' is we in the UK already speak the language most learn to converse across all the non-English, as a native language, world. While everyone else just has to learn their own language as a child and then English, both languages all around them, native English speakers do what? Learn French and Chinese and Russian and Italian and Spanish and Polish and Japanese and Urdu etc etc etc erc, hardly ever getting a chance to practice in real life, when all non-English speakers need to do is learn one language - English - which nowadays is pretty universal. If you are a native English speaker and want to learn a 2nd language, you are probably better off spending your time tackling a programming language. More useful and more opportunities to practice it.

That's it exactly. So everyone else should just speak English.

Love to hear it! enjoy the episode 😃

​@@SortedFoodi always do 😊😊😊

He didn't say that at all. He said custard is set up with eggs and pudding is set up with starch.

I think his culinary skills and abilities are actually what lead to most of those weird creations. The guy is passionate about food.

@@hellfirehatter5243 oh he is for sure and my wife and I love Mythical Kitchen for a reason. We have been watching GMM for years and the food shows went to another level when Josh joined.

Glad you've enjoyed it :)

You underestimate Josh's knowledge of food history

History is full of mistakes, so sure.

@@TheKirbyT You should've said, you underestimate Josh's knowledge of 'MURICA

Yeah, Ben had a bit of an advantage with the judge being a historian XD
