My experience is that there are a lot of high quality cheeses in the USA but they usually cost more. In fact most supermarkets have two different sections where they sell cheese. The higher end cheese is in the deli. Actually, you can also buy cheeses, milk and other dairy products directly from creameries which I do sometimes. The cheese in my refrigerator right now is made of goat’s milk. From watching a few British reaction channels I got the impression goat’s milk cheese isn’t that popular in the UK because they acted like it was odd when it was an ingredient in their food at an American restaurant.
I don’t eat dairy as much as I used for health and digestive reasons. I switched to almond milk.
@@xohyuuGo back to English class, study harder, and you won’t have to ask such questions.
@xohyuu They said U.S.A so probably a north American restaurant. 🙂
4:54 I live in London and it doesn't really rain much at all. Before it started raining 1-3 days ago it didn't rain at all for about a month and most of the grass is completely dried out and yellow. Last year we had a severe drought and a lot of the grass was completely brown and dead because there was no rain for about 2 months.
Same in The Netherlands, summers are getting drier.
Do most people and businesses there not use sprinkler systems or hoses to water their lawns?
Last time I was in London (a few week before the Olympics), it was not raining at all. It was bloody hot (I was on the crew that sailed the Wylde Swan to Britain and up the Thames, the ship would do tours on the Thames during the Olympics, so did many other sailing ships)

Sophia is growing on me. But the pace at which she speaks is jarring lol
Wisconsin here. We have so many great cheeses here. Processed cheese is disgusting. Velveeta, also disgusting. We have various ages of Cheddar, along with Colby, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Mozzarella, Provolone, Swiss, etc. Why eat anything else? I don't even eat any cheese flavored snacks. I make a batch of white popcorn and cut a few slices of cheddar to eat along with it.
Sophia is growing on me. It's not very often that you're introduced to someone that is that genuinely sweet.
Wisconsin has great cheese, as does Vermont, California, and Washington State. It's just that the processed cheese food is what is known outside the US, and thus... yeah.
When you say "swiss cheese" what exactly do you mean? Do you mean Emmentaler, Appenzeller, gruyère, Raclette cheese, Tilsiter, Tete de Moine? Many other Swiss cheeses out there but it alwayd confuses me what Americans mean by swiss cheese.
@@laurajane192 Essentially, Emmentaler, and then American Swiss and Baby Swiss (aged 1 month) are variations on that recipe, but lighter and more buttery. One example of a cheesemaker would be Edelweiss Creamery in Monticello, WI.
Had a Schweiz burger for lunch today.
Why eat anything else? Because you have not tasted the different variants of kashkaval 🥰
@@huskytail We're kind of up to our ass in cheese here. 3.52 billion lbs. (1.6 billion kg) in 2022. 6 million people live here. I don't think we have had a lot of Bulgarian immigrants move here. Havarti, Münster, Gouda, Butterkäse, etc., but I couldn't find anyone making Kash kaval. The European ancestry here is mostly German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Irish, and Polish.
It’s actually comical to me how they are talking about how different the UK is place to place but have one American on who seemingly incorporates “all Americans”
The same goes for Canadians. Every province has a distinct accent, with many regional accents. No one would ever think a Nova Scotian and an Albertan sounded similar. Newfoundlanders sometimes sound more Irish than the Irish do. Northern Ontario is distinct from southern Ontario, etc. I live in NS and our Acadian communities have very distinct community accents…….
Spot on.
I was thinking the same. Even a smaller state like Arkansas there are a bunch of different accents depending on the area you are in. Multiply that times 50 states.
the uk is comprised of four countries so you cant get one british person to sit there and represent four places with different cultures, histories and languages ALSO scottish, welsh ect people don't usually refer to themselves as british however regardless of the state they live in a person in the US would refer to themselves as american
@@paulamcdonald1393 Agree, I'm American New England and there is nothing this 'american' does/says that I can relate too haha. And speaking of Canada the Nova Scotian would be pretty similar to we New Englanders :) (tho they are New Scotland haha)
“Can” and “can’t “ is definitely an interesting topic to discuss between the American accent and other English accents! @worldfriends
FYI A large percentage of Americans don’t actually pronounce can’t that way. Many of us say it like cain’t.
@@anndeecosita3586 I just say “can”😂😂 i never pronounce any Ts
Most people are able to understand me even when I travel abroad the US! I know for a lot of people it can be confusing as they don’t know the drill😂😂
@@xohyuu what do you mean? I don’t quite know the difference haha
Also, the processed cheese product you see on low end burgers in America is usually Kraft Singles. It’s made that way because it’s supposed to melt perfectly onto a burger patty when grilling outdoors during the summertime.
Kraft Singles are mostly milk fat with dye to look like cheese.
Then there's Velveeta which isn't really a dairy product at all
@@benschultz1784true, but mixed with Rotel it makes an amazing nacho dip!
The Welsh dude talking about different accents coming out? Yeah, that happens to me as an American; different dialects and accents I grew up speaking will come out at different times. I normally speak with an American broadcast standard accent, but a country accent will come out whenever I get intense about something Southern, and when I'm really upset or annoyed I'll code switch into Black American English, which can be really jarring because I'm whiter than sour cream.
dafuq is “bIack american english”

@@Ivan-fm4ehAave? Never heard of her.
My former coworker is from the NOLA West Bank. Whenever he gets angry his accent goes full West Bank, and we can’t understand everything he’s saying. 😂😂
I think anger and drunkenness brings out people’s true dialects.
I have never been to the UK. But the phrase "I'll put on the kettle" means a lot to me. Perhaps it is all the Doctor Who, British crime procedurals, and Sherlock I have consumed.
Uhmmm... "British", Welsh, Scottish and Irish?
You either mean "English", Welsh, Scottish and Irish, or you mean "British" and Irish.

The American not knowing what government cheese is means she hasn’t struggled one bit
good for her. very few us had to grow up with the abomination that is government cheese. and government cheese is not the same as American processed cheese.
@@Ivan-fm4eh agreed! It is interesting how other countries are aware of our government cheese tho
I just looked it up & apparently the term "government cheese" stopped being used in the '90s. The cheese still existed, but it was no longer called "government cheese." So, it makes sense for people born in the late '80s & beyond not to be familiar with the term.
@@naivenostalgia what did they call it afterwards? i only know it as government cheese and i was born in the late 80s
@@Ivan-fm4ehApparently it was called "government cheese" because it was owned completely by the government. It still exists in cold storage, but is now owned by private companies. It seems to vary between companies.
I'm learning this right now with you, just to clarify lol. I had no idea.
4:05 soo true!😅
8:30 oh yes, very “proper” to call a letter by the name that doesn’t even have its own sound in it
That meme is bizarre. It's very weird to consider 'aitch' a funny 'British' thing - not only is it the standard term in both the UK and the US, it's also a term British folk use less than most!
'Aitch' is basically universal in North America, but only used by about two thirds of British folk, with the rest saying 'haitch'.
FWIW, 'aitch' is the older form, and 'haitch' developed out of hyper-correction.
@georgio101 haitch is older actually. But is was dropped after French influence as can be seen by what we know Queen Elizabeth the 1st spoke like. The R sound was still prolific though
He has never heard a person from the USA speak so slowly. Is it some kind of dialect or does the girl "just" speak slowly? What state in the US is she from, or where do they speak so slowly?
She's supposedly from Georgia according to a previous version of this conversation. She definitely doesn't have a Georgia accent which may partially explain.
US Southerner here. There are some people who do speak this slowly, but it's not very common, even in much of the south. Most people I know speak at Lauren or Eoin's speed. To be honest, the slow speech drives me a bit crazy. I've started watching the videos with Sophia in it at x1.25 speed. Nothing against her, but I struggle to stay focused on what's being said at that slow a pace.
i’m pretty sure it’s because this is a korean channel so she is trying to be understandable to a non native english audience
It’s English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh. There’s an English girl there!!! Sort it out.

In response to bo-o o wo-uh, listen to "singing in the rain", where the silent actress says "I can' stan' i'."
2:09 finally someone said that meme can be from the "boddle of wader" too!
If glottal stop like "Bo'le" can be a meme then Americanised T sounding D like "Boddle" should also be a meme.
American cheddar cheese?
Cheddar is a place in England.
As is Ham and Sandwich 😁
Historically cheddar made up of milk from free graze cattle was more orange in colour due to betacarotene content of the milk, and that cheddar was more in demand. So some clever ppl discovered food dyes, and now most red cheddars are dyed orange, while the good old yellow one suffers neglect.
1:42 there are different coloured cheeses all over the world. Get over yourselves.
3:20 I hate tea and coffee, but I always have a kettle to make hot chocolate. Even my friends from the states have one
And even if you don't have a kettle, it's not impossible to improvise and come up with perfectly fine results.

Kettles in US run by 110 V which takes a lot of time to boil water compared to kettles in UK and other countries which run by 220 V (takes about half the time)
That's why kettles are not very convenient for Americans compared to other countries. Plus tea is not very popular drink in US compared to UK.
I am French and I have a diploma in the field of electricity.
I never understood what interests have Americans to have such a low electrical tension.
Especially since the USA is much larger than France, on the contrary, they should have a higher source voltage due to the voltage drop which comes from the natural electrical resistance of electric cables.
With 110 volts, they must need many more neighborhood transformers and tension rectifiers than with a voltage of 220 volts.
In addition, an alternative tension of 110 volts is no less dangerous for humans than 220 volts.
Finally, the electric cables must heat more since it takes more electrical intensity on a network in 110 than in 220 volts for the same power as P = U × I
@@arnosolo5248 I’m surprised why they still use it also. I don’t have good knowledge about electricity but I heard some yt talking about this topic and it’ll be better to adapt the 220 V
American drinks more tea than the UK.
@@arnosolo5248We don't transmit at 120V over power lines my dude... there is a step down transformer outside the house or apartment.
American homes have circuits running at two voltages. We run large appliances like washers, driers, and stoves at 220-240V. Small appliances run at 110-120V.
Most people don't have electric kettles because tea is less popular in the states than coffee. Most Americans have drip coffee makers in their house. Most Americans have stove top kettles too.
I have an electric kettle as I drink a lot of tea and coffee and use it to heat to the proper temperatures.
That argument makes no sense. As an American with ADHD and a working memory of about three seconds, an electric kettle is by far the easiest and safest way for me to boil water. Just click a button, forget about it while you do other things, and then let it alert you when it's done.
And even taking longer, it boils water in a very short period of time. If your time budget is such that you can't take an extra 2 to 3 minutes, the problem isn't the kettle or electricity, it's time management.
You should edit your title to replace "British" with "English".......
Everyone is more enthusiastic than Sophia. More monotone she is
3:51 it should be "dont tell me you put milk in a tea"
When Lauren is introduced why does it say GB with a Union Jack next to her? I thought it was about which part of the UK or the British Isles respectively everybody's from. She's from England (it's on her badge ;).
Cheddar cheese is different than processed cheese... Our cheddar cheese is real cheese.
7:45 I’ve never heard of that. But it’s like the French with Canadians.
As an American, I can say that we call Kettles a Tea Pot. And it's non-electric because i know that Kettles are electric. Most of them you fill up the water, turn on the flame eye to the stove top: boil the water and then put the tea bags in and let the tea steep, then once it's done steeping you put a cup to a cup and a half of Sugar in the pitcher, you put the tea into the pitcher and stir it so that the sugar disolves. That's how you make tea in America. Of course it's different because that's typically southern sweet tea which usually preferred cold as apposed to most british teas that are more commonly hot.
In the uk we use tea pots as well as kettles, as you say kettle is used to describe the electric version or older versions where u don’t brew the tea in it. Most people in the uk will just have a kettle and some will have both, generally older generations will have tea pots used for when guests are over, but we pour it directly from the pot to cup so it’s hot. At breakfast cafes it’s not uncommon to get a pot of tea if asked for rather than separate tea in just a cup.
Is the way Sophia talks normal in the US?
@@athos163 That's typically how it works in American Restaurants too, Typically you get a glass of it and then they'll refill the cup as you go if you ask. Typically you pay for the initial glass because refills are usually free in the US. As i understand that's not the case in the UK? Correct me if i'm wrong.
@@user-ry2qs7xf9k Not where i'm from, that's more of a Californian LA thing.
@@AtsumuMiya123 ur correct, if u ask for a cup/glass u just get the one unless the place offers a bottomless drink, these are normally self service dispensers.
For tea if u ask for a cup of tea u get the one, however some places u can ask for a pot (generally breakfast cafes not restaurants) and they'll brew the leave the tea pot on ur table for u to use until none is left. If there's a few of you it's generally a cheaper option rather then getting a cup each, or cheaper if u really like tea and can drink a pots worth in one sitting
Where’s Northern Ireland representative?
Only real Ireland gets represented.
The orange colour of cheese is a product of high fat concentrates in cheese, where the cows eat grasses that have large carotenoid content over traditional cheeses. Dying the cheeses orange was a means of increasing the product to make more money.
Finally you did some Welsh stuff
the whole how you make hot water for tea drives me insane. You can boil water on the stove, in an electric kettle or in the microwave, its' still all just boiling water
I literally had an argument with someone about how to pronounce the letter h. its aitch!!!!!
Sophia needs a strong coffee, she's so calm I am not sure whether she's the most relaxed person in the world, or if she's trying to hide severe depression....

3 of those are GB and you only said Lauren is, just FYI.
British is England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, so the title should be American, British, and Irish, or American, English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish
Why couldn’t they get someone from Northern Ireland if you wanted UK?
who wants to hear their horrible accents XD
Possible they couldn't find someone. They film this in Seoul, and recruit models and English teachers.
For anyone from Northern Ireland who read the above antagonistic comment, I just wanted you to know that Northern Irish accents are my favorite accents I've heard so far in my life. Listening to a Northern Irish accent has genuinely brightened up some very crappy days in my life.

Spaniard from Madrid here. If I have to be frank, I haven't *ever* used a kettle, it's so alien. That reminds me of old Thames' sitcoms like George and Mildred, or Robin's Nest... I barely remember if my parents had one at their place; they had a thick aluminium Italian coffee pot, but I really don't know if you could call that a kettle. Anyway, when I make tea I boiled some water in a pan, and then pour it in a mug with a tea bag. Even that it's too laborious. I'd end up buying a can of lemon iced tea at the supermarket round the corner! 😂

***[American vs British] American, ENGLISH, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish react to the memes!!
So basically you need hot water to make hot tea lol. We get it! We have kettles but most Americans only drink hot tea during cold weather. She’s spot on about using a pot to make iced sweet tea… or unsweetened tea. Also, Sophia has a lovely voice but sometimes I wonder if she’s really high…honestly lol. That’s ok but that’s how she sounds… not a bad thing.
Not all our cheese is orange. I have made my own cheese from local dairy farmers raw milk, it’s awesome. Also… Wisconsin is famous for natural - not dyed cheeses.
Hot tea only in the winter I think is an overgeneralization. I live in a hotter region of the US, and many of my friends and family drink both hot and sweet tea regularly. For me, it's a morning hot tea, iced sweet tea during the day, and another hot tea before bed. I've had and used an electric kettle with temperature control for all of my adult life. My Keurig, on the other hand, is the same one from 10 years ago and it only ever gets used at Christmas when we have guests who bring their own Kcups 😂.
I have also wondered if Sophia was high, but you're the first other person I've seen mention it.
Good point about Wisconsin.
I get the impression that the joke that Americans don't have kettles is something that other cultures simply enjoy believing and repeating, regardless of fact. In reality, probably somewhere between 30-50% of American homes have kettles. There are higher and lower percentages in concentrated areas, because the US is huge. Obviously that's not near the percentage that you would find in the UK or some other countries, but the myth that Americans don't have kettles dismisses the experience of a fair portion of the population. I know it's probably because of the area I live in, but I don't personally know anyone who doesn't have a kettle. It's just not as important for American culture as it is for some others.
Edited to fix typo.
It's not really a joke, it's something we genuinely find very surprising. You're underestimating how ubiquitous they are in the UK and Ireland.
I've seen and met bona fide Americans who say they've never encountered an electric kettle (or hadn't before coming to the UK). It's literally as odd to us as saying you've never encountered a television or a car.
I’m American and while I definitely know there are Americans who own kettles, I am not offended by people thinking we don’t in large part. Like you said we are huge with different cultures. I don’t own a kettle. no kettles were in my relatives homes when I was growing up. No one in my family or friends owns a kettle. The number one reason for this is most people I know either don’t or rarely drink hot tea. Even these popular Boba tea places popping up is cold tea. For one think we live in a very hot climate and we see tea as a refreshing type of drink. We brew our tea in a pot on the stove and chill it, serve it from a pitcher. Only way I drink hot tea is if I’m sick and I also make it in a pot on the stove.
@@georgio101That makes sense. I felt that way when Brits told me they get charged for non-bottled water in some restaurants. Blew my mind. To us that’s like charging for breathing their air.

Dw i'n hoffi Lauren yn fawr iawn.
I'm from New England. My mom only ever drank coffee, but still always kept a kettle on the stove. I'm obsessed with tea, so she let me take her kettle when I moved out. I also bought an electric kettle after living in Sapporo. I was shocked to learn some friends used the microwave. It sounds borderline masochistic.😭
why tho? it just boils the water. i think Lauren's suggestion of using a pan is worse, there might be oil or food residue from an incomplete cleaning.
@@Ivan-fm4eh I also wouldn't want to use a pan. Pans are for food cooking, not beverages. She lost me there, too lol.
As for my strong opinions about microwaved tea water, part of it is because not all tea should be steeped in water that hot & part of it is because it just seems inherently gross to me to drink water after microwaving it. I don't think other people are gross for doing it, but the idea of drinking it just seems gross to me.
@@Ivan-fm4eh You guys don't have multiple pans? I think she mean a sauce pan? Or at least not a pan for cooking a steak.
@@N3v3r_S3ttl3 a sauce pan still might have food residue on it... i still don't see what the big deal is about microwaving water in a mug, but to each their own
@@Ivan-fm4eh I always check if the pans are clean before I cook or boil food. Heating a cup/mug of water in the microwave isn't common in Europe. Maybe that's why.
What even is a 'British' accent ffs?? lol. Have you heard how many accents there are in England alone?
Wait so is that meme saying Americans pronounces "H" like "haitch"? Definitely not the case where I'm from lol. I've never heard anyone pronounce it "haitch" in my entire life lol.
I'm starting to like Sophia. 👍😅 Frank talk about American and British accents.
Sophia is so cute! More of her please!
how is that the welsh and english are so similar, you can see Leighton will mouth the words Lauren is about to say, and they are very very much in sync, the welsh and the english,.. HOW?
@@xohyuu I really can't understand in what context you write this,..
I don’t own a kettle and never knew anyone in my large extended family to own one. My family is Southern. As far as we are concerned tea is brewed in a pot and served cold.
We have 2 per 3 people
Y'all are talking about "American Cheese". The Europeans are correct -it is NOT a "cheese"!!
It's crazy how a massive ocean can change so much.
Culturally I feel very close to the English girl as a Dutch person, the way she acts.
But the American girl, otherworldly.
I know people always say English people are very polite and roundabout, but that certainly doesn't go for all of them. Many of them are just as direct as Germans and Dutch people.
I think Brits are closer to Americans, Canadians, Aussies, and Kiwis than to the Dutch. There’s just more shared culture and cuisine, music, language, etc. despite the vast oceans that separate them all. The Netherlands is really foreign by comparison which is probably why many British tourist stick out like a sore thumb over there but in the states you can’t really tell the difference until you hear the accent.
I don't have an electric kettle but I do have one on the stove. I also have a Keurig coffee maker that just does hot water. We older Americans know better than to put a cup in the microwave.
8:53 THE USER?? IF YOU KNOW ARABIC THEN YOU WILL KNOW 💀💀
