Thanksgiving is based on an historical event at the end of the first year of the Plymouth colony. It was a day of praise to God for surviving that year. It has been a bit abused and now centers around lots of HOMECOOKED food and football.
Eggos is a brand name...
Here’s an old Eggo commercial I found. czcams.com/video/BvZgAEiQXgk/video.html
My mother refused to buy them. They’re junk.
I wish I could call you as I watch your vids to explain what you don’t get. It’s so frustrating for me that I can’t tell you right now! 😂
Homecoming is a Dance we have it after or before the Championship game
I got triggered when Lia said on thanksgiving people bring food that’s canned. My grandmother is rolling in her grave. She would be so offended if she was living. 😂😂
I know that in my family and everyone else I know Thanksgiving is where you cook and make food and snacks for 3 damn days ahead of time FROM SCRATCH NOT A DAMN CAN just to watch it be eaten and all gone in 30 minutes it's the best of the best of everybody's cooking and favorite food dishes.
I don't even know what would be in a can. The turkey? The potatoes? The pies?
Canned cranberry jelly is the only thing I know of that might be canned. I know many people who adore this. Not for me.
@@darcyashley3889 Same. I make that too.
Omg I was so triggered too 😂😂
“It’s all just canned” you have no idea how many Americans you just triggered.
Me****
They didn't trigger me. Its just different cultures.
I swear !! I was kind of like wtf 😒 but then back with a laugh
Only the cranberries.
Triggered!
If you brought canned food to an American family’s thanksgiving you’d probably get kicked out. And I’m only half joking
Unless it's cranberry sauce. That's acceptable from a can. Nothing else though.
Nope, you're probably right, especially if it were to Thanksgiving with MY family!! We are descended from a long line of good Southern cooks, so it would never even enter any of our heads to bring canned foods!!!!
Not joking.
Most of the time, the only thing thats canned is the cranberry sauce.
@@joshrees3413 I y'am who I y'am.
Thanksgiving is the opposite of canned food 😂😂blood sweat and tears go into family recipes.
Copy that. And hours upon hours go into going to various groceries to get exactly what you want. Then the matron of the family usually starts cooking at 8 a.m. for a 2 p.m. meal. These tossers really do their utmost in putting on an upload without doing the least bit of research.
Agreed takes days 2 prepare
@@danielfronc4304 These women are bending over at the waist putting dvds into dvd players.... Tell us again how motherhood is the hardest job on the planet.
Watching this again on Thanksgiving 2021🦃
Days and days of preparing 😂😂
I'm a born and raised Texan and I know ZERO Americans that bring canned food to Thanksgiving... I would smack anyone who did that...it's very offensive! Please do more research next time! (I'm sorry if that came out rude. I love you guys!)
Karoline Beckett yeah when they said that I was like unmmm...please check facts or something don’t make assumptions....ugh made me criiinge😂 my family has never used anything canned for thanksgiving.
@@violinperson1835 My mom did use canned cranberries but I never cared for those anyway...canned or fresh.
the only canned food I see is cranberry jelly called sause.
Karoline Beckett same though. I don’t know anyone who brings canned food - Florida girl
Umm if you did that at my thanksgiving grandma kicking you out
“What’s prom king and queen? It’s sounds like a mean popularity contest!”
You pretty much summed it up
Andrew M Carling I said the exact same thing out loud!
Andrew M Carling not at my school all the memers at my school got everyone to vote for a band nerd to be king and got a regular thot to be queen
I literally went, “it is”
Ain’t that what the presidential campaign is about? It’s all about popularity.
My exact word was “Basically!”. 🤦🏼♀️
Don’t say naughty to mean ‘bad’ in the US with other adults, we use it only in a sexual context
Jaurica-Lynn Belidesz hmmm not necessarily ... but your mind is in the gutter ... 🤣
sacredweeds idk, I agree. I have never heard someone here use that word in a non-sexual context. We just say bad.
Well I agree with sacredweeds in that we use it in a nonsexual way. Like "Oh! Were you being naughty? Now you have to clean up that crayon you drew all over the closet wall!" to a five year old. Or "He's a naughty little cat. Always getting into the cupboard and pushing all the dishes out." Of course when speaking of adults, in many situations, it has an entirely different context! But I highly doubt you've truly /never/ heard the word used in a nonsexual way! Most likely you just don't personally it that way, and perhaps your friends don'treally either.
Also, I kinda felt like Joel & Lia were hinting at that just a tad, but it felt more implied. Perhaps that was just me? I know that they tend to say "naughty" to mean "bad" but they don't /only/ use it in that way :)
I don’t think so. A dog or a child can be naughty. Or having one more drink when you don’t need it is naughty.
Yeah, like if I said "That's naughty" instead of "That's bad" in my 8th grade class, everyone would be thinking dirty lol
Spring break is a time for kids to just take a break from school sort of like a breather
School works different in the other half of the world.
Murphie_wdwlimelight yes I know they work differently I was just trying to tell them what spring break is for Texans
When I was young the spring break was a time to help your farmer parents. I think there was one in the fall for the same reason.
It’s traditionally the week before Easter, just a week off school in the spring for kids in school. Only some High School kids go to beaches and party and get super crazy so those destinations started having big Spring Break themed parties and putting it on tv to make people want to go to their location.
It's also a time when families go on vacation together. Not just partying.
“It’s all just canned” I know y’all did not just disrespect my grandma like that
For real, Thanksgiving is from scratch!
The good canned stuff is home canned my grandma makes the best canned green beans
Lucid everyone’s Grandma
Only thing I find canned is cranberry sauce.
Jadyyn Starlight -- My mother spent HOURS hand dicing all sorts of various nuts to place in her cranberry molds. It took her a long time to create and was always greatly appreciated or even 'marveled at' by those who had never experienced something like it before. :-)
"I don't even understand prom" *talks about their proms for 4 edited minutes straight*
Ikr 😂
lol yes
Proms just not a big deal in england, its still fairly new and kind of boring
Well not really; they didn't have a cruise, the guy didn't even have a limo (regardless of being able to afford it), and apparently they even think prom dresses are ugly somehow. But like yeah they obviously know what a damn prom is. Which we instantly know as soon as they say "We have watched at least one prom movie".
So my aunt- an American- married a Brit and his first Thanksgiving with all of us was a mind blowing thing for him 😅 all the handmade (not a can in site!) Food ...quickly became his favorite holiday
Get up to begin cooking at 5 AM or something.
Oh yeah his mind must have been blown if it was a full blown out feast.
@@aspenrebel indeed! But it was fun to watch him take it all in and love it all
Oh, and Eggos aren’t egg waffles or something. It’s a brand name, they’re just regular waffles.
That you pop into a toaster for a quick on the go breakfast
Lol
Exactly what I was thinking!
Waffles. Maybe the most popular store brand.
Leggo my Eggo lmao
"4th of July. What's that? Another party."
It's only the first ever US party.
We liked the idea of it so much we decided to do it every year.
With sky fire and explosions.
Thanksgiving came before the 4th... 😉
Heather Claypool I thought Thanksgiving was a seasonal harvest celebration not limited to the US. I was going with US specific celebrations.
The first Thanksgiving was in the 1600's and while the not-so-pretty side of it has come out in more recent times, the story goes that the European settlers had a meal with the Native Americans in celebration of shared peace and a good harvest. The 4th of July/American independence didn't happen until the following century. ;)
Heather Claypool Ok. I know the history of the Thanksgiving the US celebrates. However, the US isnt the only nation that celebrates it, and when the European settlers did celebrate it when they first got to North America, they were still....European.
They hadn't "declared their independence" as an organization of unified states yet.
So, again, I was going with US specific celebrations.
Not trying to debate this ad nauseam, but all I was attempting to convey is that the first legit USA celebration was the 4th of July because it was literally us saying, "Here we are."
thebenforever, Canada has a Thanksgiving, but they celebrate it in October. Many cultures have had “thanksgiving” at times, but it’s not a yearly thing, or as big an Occasion as 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦.
"what's that? Independence Day?" LOL . We celebrate our independence from Britain. LOL
Wendy Rader I am so frustrated with the Americans slagging British people off in the comments..... frickin chavs
@@alexwhitworth3774 Well if u are frustrated just by this then Idk how frustrated we are cause we get unnecessary hate all the time from every country for small reasons everywhere.
Yeah, cuz u didn’t work for it, they just pitied y’all.
AMERICA FUUUUCKKKK YEAAAAAAAA
Wendy Rader hahahahahahahaha. Sooooooo Funny
lmao you guys are killing me with Thanksgiving! As an American I can attest to the fact that almost nothing comes from a can. It's legit a feast. Its a day for remembering the kindness of the Native Americans toward the pilgrims, giving thanks for the blessings we all have in our lives and sort of a family friendly American football party lol! basically every holiday has a coinciding NFL game but Thanksgiving is a holiday with very sincere sentiment for Americans.
It's also 100% a lie.
@@saratippey769 Most Western Nations celebrate Christmas even though Jesus wasn't born on December 25th and it's based on pagan rituals. We do it because of the sentiment and principles it brings, not because of whether or not the origin is factual.
@@saratippey769 The pilgrims didn't eat?
Well thanksgiving has a lot more meaning around here Boston/Plymouth than it does in say L.A.
Well you might get your cranberry sauce out of a can. I don't eat that, don't like it, so i'm not really sure. If you're having corn not on the cob, boiled in a pot of water, that would come in a can. Gravy might come in a can. But you have to get the stuffing correct. Nothing weird. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes (mashed or boiled white potatoes), squash, cranberry sauce, corn, sometimes peas. Might start with some kind of a soup, small salad, celery sticks with cheese on them, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks, olives, Any number of different kinds of bread (cranberry, corn, regular, etc), pie and ice cream for dessert usually apple pie, but any number of different kinds of pies.
“You need to move Thanksgiving to July”
4th of July is the holiday in July
@Heraldo Medrano may the fourth be with you
That's exactly what I thought.
@@Charlotte-ci4is Most months, yes. Some holidays are going to be a bigger deal to some people. Different religions are going to celebrate differences religious holidays/festivals/feasts (Christmas/Easter, Passover/Hannukah, Ramadan...). Isn't the New Year celebrated by the majority of people in the world in some capacity? Holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day in secular culture are more minor holidays. 4th of July is our Independence Day. Thanksgiving is a national holiday. We celebrate thankfulness, and it's generally a big family-oriented holiday. From what they taught us in Elementary school, we celebrate it because Native Americans (I'm so sorry that the exact tribe isn't coming to mind at the moment) and Pilgrims came together. They shared food and drink. Essentially, the Native Americans saved the Pilgrims from all dying out. So many did die.
Yes! We like to celebrate! We love being happy.
Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same in July, no pumpkin pie :(
@@sallyk1937 Jan. new yrs, Feb. Valentines day, March St. PATRICK's day, April. Easter, May, mothers day, June. Fathers day, July. Independance day, August. Idk Sept. Idk, Oct. Halloween, November Thx giving day, Dec. Chritmas
Whoa! Hold up!. Thanksgiving is THE Food Holiday. Anyone who brings canned food to my Thanksgiving feast is no longer part of the family.
OK. we are TRIGGGGGERED! it’s absolutely NOT canned, that’s the point! Homemade food you normally eat once per yeay
Honestly!!
They should call this Brits making fun of Americans for 16 minutes
Cuz they’re all wrong
Totally triggered! I never eat canned foods or eat fast foods.
Yep...all the yummiest, naughtiest food we withhold from ourselves till Holidays. And LOTS of family recipe dishes!! Yummy!! ❤
So triggered to the point where I am squeezing my phone so hard that it may break.
...Then become a better human being.
We call “Eggy Bread”? French Toast
I'm british and I have no idea what eggy bread fucking is lol
@@dibeedus4250 that’s what I thought
Thanksgiving is not canned stuff. People literally cook for hours for there family’s. By the way we don’t make any excuse for a party. We have these times to visit families and have a great time with family and friends.
Alicia House yeah this is more than them not knowing. It feels like they are putting us down for having a holiday that is only celebrated here in the USA . Please don’t talk smack about our holiday. It is as important to us as any other special holidays are for you.
Facts
Lora 100 I don’t think brits have any special holiday
Yeah it a food manifest and an excuse to Exercise. Bit
Which is an excuse for partying.
The way that they’re describing Thanksgiving breaks my heart😂😂
True, but I appreciate that they're not disrespectful.. they don't understand and they're genuine in wanting to know. 😱💕 That's the difference about where we're all from and I can always appreciate a good conversation about differences rather than bashing since we all have great stuff🥰
Thanksgiving is heartbreaking in itself well I'm black that's probably why... Thanksgiving was a day they committed acts of genocide on the native Americans .. Nothing to celebrate... Thank god they don't know about the domestic terrorism that goes on here but that's another thing
Right?😂‼️
janaye martin thanksgiving was not a day of genocide. Think before making things up.
@@naynay9434 please.
I love how they are explaining homecoming as a reunion 😂
“…they are explaining homecoming as a reunion…” Well, it is a reunion, so they got that right. Has nothing to do about football- the two things merely happen at the same time, but are different. Schools without football will,often have homecoming.
@@LouieLouie505
It’s actually called the Homecoming game. 🤦🏻
@@mattslupek7988 '''...called the Homecoming game..." Look, it is only called 'the Homecoming game' because of it taking place during Homecoming --- which is NOT a game. There is a difference. 🤦♀
i’m sorry but i get triggered when they say “another excuse to party” because we do not have proms, homecomings, thanksgiving, 4th of july, spring break etc. just to have a party. just because it doesn’t mean something to you doesn’t mean you need to talk bad about it and also don’t believe everything you see in american tv. thanks for coming to my ted talk❤️💕🙈🧚🏼♂️
lol trust me. Americans party for no reason as well. lol
Triggered
@@djwestbrook36 true, but what Lauren said is also true as well
I concur
We do party for whatever lmao. Cmon, you know this
No. Most of Thanksgiving is not canned. That's where all the relatives bring out their A-game.
That's the one dinner nothing is canned in our house. #homemade
This! This is the truth! The only thing I have ever seen canned at thanksgiving was cranberries. And that was only once when my cousin's boyfriend was in charge of cranberries.... he didn't last long in the family after that. Haha
Here in Massachusetts, canned jellied cranberry sauce by Ocean Spray is a favorite must at Thanksgiving dinner.
So true! I prefer Thanksgiving to Christmas. All the best parts of Christmas, food, friends, family, without the financial stress of gift giving. Thanksgiving is my favorite meal and holiday!
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October. All home made turkey stuffing potatoes turnip and green beans mmmmmmm. Eggos are frozen waffels you toast and put butter and syrup. Ewwww eggie bread is our french toast we eat with syrup but NEVER ketchup. Yuck!!!!
I've never had canned food at thanksgiving in my life. It's literally a holiday excuse to ACTUALLY cook.
same here Never canned
@@carolesherk4891 Not even the cranberry sauce/jelly?
Many people prefer the CANNED cranberry sauce! But the rest of thanksgiving is all home made.
Chris Lanham me either. Except cranberry
How about the olives?
When it’s quarantine and you’re too sensitive about missing senior year so you click off right away bc you can’t handle them talking about prom
Couldn’t you live without prom? What’s so important about it anyway? No I’m not bri’ish I’m American and I still don’t get what’s so important about it
Y’all need to look up the meaning of thanksgiving it’s actually quite meaningful and special
exactly!! it has a lot of historical significance and it is a very meaningful day!
Ask a native how special it is😔
I’m part native. It was definitely significant
It's not special and it's not meaningful, the "pilgrims" literally invaded the native American's land, said that it's theirs, and then they had some "PeAcEfUL" feast.
@@sophiakemp6469 🤡
"Another excuse for a party, classic Americans" *wears USA shirt*
Carter Townsley 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ItsNotTaylor they make a lot of USA shirts in the U.S. lol maybe not Canada or Mexico
@ItsNotTaylor you're right. I never see USA shirts in America as much as I see in other countries. The only American shirts i see are the US man's national soccer team
yea u only see those around in tourist places and down the isles of most clothing stores around 4th o july
Exactly
Im dying when she started explaining what eggy bread is 😂😂😂 like that’s literally French toast 🤣
Natalie Pineda
One of the earliest versions of french toast has been traced back to the Roman Empire. The name “french toast" was first used in 17th-century England. The recipe - and name - were brought to America by early settlers. In France, the dish is called “pain perdu," meaning “lost bread."
Americans changed the recipe over time to suit there sweet tastebuds and that’s why it’s made different, (America-cinnamon,vanilla) (Scotland/England-salt&pepper,tomato sauce or brown sauce) but it effectively is the same thing Just savoury and sweet versions
Paige Steele okay I was just saying that we call it French toast I didn’t say we invented this
Natalie Pineda I know, i didn’t mean to sound like I was correcting you, I was just clearing up that it is the same thing just different names for it
Paige Steele oh okay
I love Thanksgiving- I cook everything from scratch, set the table with your best china and goblets-the entire family comes over, play board games-- share time together
Yes...mashed potatoes and all!!
"Goblets"!! Is this 1823?
How come ONLY America learns about everyone’s history? No other countries teach about American history..?
Because American history includes other countries... immigrants built and fought for our country.
Because American history is kinda confusing and thru barely teach about ant other country
@@bostonw2986 So those countries don't get a mention at home for their contributions to building a new nation? Is that not part of their history too.
@@tangoindiamike9189 I can’t speak for those countries :) I would hope they do! (But I assume it’s not their proudest moment that those people fled their country to help build another one?) I can only speak to my experience as an American.
Eh, it’s not like we (Americans) learn thaaaat much about history of other countries. We get context and the generic things but that’s about it.
My favorite American party was the Boston Tea Party
Shut up
Lel
YASSSS
LMFAO
LOL
When you’re still bitter about the revolution
This is the best comment lmao
Matthew Meyer we don’t learn about the revolution wonder why
Rebecca Muir because you’re still bitter 😂😂
Matthew Meyer no it’s because we have more important things to learn about like the wars and our OWN country like Tudors, Industrial revolution etc. when America got independence it didn’t really affect us that much
Lucy ehhhhhh or it’s because you’re still bitter
Umm, sorry if this comes out as rude.. but did they just say “Thanksgiving is canned food” and “just another reason too eat”? It is a celebration of when the Native Americans and the Pilgrims joined together as friends and peace. It is about giving thanks for what we have, and to spend time with your families. Seriously, you two need to do your research on a platform other than Buzzfeed.. I’m just offended you put so little effort into researching topics and approach them in such a rude way. Sorry for the rant.
It was very offensive honestly just cuz they don’t celebrate it doesn’t mean it’s unnecessary like...
I’m American, I don’t celebrate it. It’s an offensive “holiday” or did you forget the part where the native Americans were murdered and their deaths celebrated by the puritans?
Wow
Yeah and then genocide...
it is offensive , bc it’s not even all canned . they think it doesn’t mean anything to them just bc they don’t have the holiday to celebrate . and then when she said it’s another reason to eat that just made it even worse 😭.
Hey guys. Homecoming is usually a dance for current students the Saturday after the teams “home” game on Friday. It’s usually earlier in the year around September. It’s not a reunion. Once you graduate you don’t go.
Yes, this is what I understand. By the way most American’s had homecoming with little notion of what or why. It was a 1940s/ 50s thing we in the 80s felt to be nostalgic- when the football team came back from road games for the final home game
Not true; the school tries to make alumni come to the football game. Not that that would ever actually happen unless they are giving away prizes or something, or making a big deal about "20th anniversary of school opening", or it's one of those weird non-high-school high schools that apparently exists in urban cities that is basically pretending to be a college and if that also resulted in "specialty friends" similar to how a Moose Lodge or the Magridals would.
“*insert American word* what is that??? That’s stupid. Classic Americans. We have *insert British version* over here. Hope this doesn’t make you TRIGGERED lololol”
hm
actual.lizard every video they make about America.
Now I’m tempted to comment something full of American words lmao
Thanksgiving is actually based on a historic event people 🤦♀️
PRECISELY ! A celebration of Thanksgiving having escaped the tyranny of English rule ! Lol ! Most definitely something to be thankful for ! FREEDOM !
Historic to who?
@@hetherpickwell5174 thanksgiving is just the fall harvest festival combined with the thankfulness of pilgrims to have survived the harsh year in the colonies the harvest festival is a common theme across the world europe africa china even the middle east has one
@@raveousone wasn't it also tied to something else tho bc I know it wasn't immediately a holiday until someone declared it was and I forgot for what lol
Yes!
"That creme brulee we had last night"
"I mean, that's French but still." 😂😂Joel didn't miss a beat!
"I'm a freshman" "is that your name?" lmaooo
Ew, ketchup on French Toast? 😵 😂 Spring Break is just a week off school and people usually go on vacation.
I know right! That's sounds so disgusting 😝
I'm British and it sounds disgusting too!
i think they meant ketchup on eggy bread, which is divine.
But I do know someone who puts sugar on their eggy bread! ew
"Eggy bread" is just French Toast XD
superemily1213
Not in the UK it isn’t they are too very separate things.
Ok I'm here to defend the British, I don't understand why they're being a bit bitchy or why they keep stereotyping Americans but I swear not all brits are like that and take everything they say with a pinch of salt, tbh I didn't even know what eggy bread was and I was born and raised in London, I thought it was just french toast, first they took tea from India and they just kept going, anyway yeah, I'm sorry again on their behalf, peace! ✌ (oh and happy new year for everyone watching around that time!!)
Erica Sigfusdottir yeah I understand that brits are just as nice as everyone else and I feel bad for you guys since you have these people making videos like this
Ur good m8✊💚
Happy New year
Oh good. I was worried there for a second. Happy new year!
Yeah they were acting all disgusted an American tradition saying that we use any excuse to throw a party. Homecoming is a celebration all of the good work organizations at the school did in the students did. And Thanksgiving is a day of remembering everything that you're thankful for in this world and coming together with your family.
Highschool's in America ages:
Senior age: 18
Junior age: 17
Sophomore age: 16
Freshman age: 15
In high school, the homecoming game celebrates the careers of the senior high school athletes, normally the football players. It's what we do for the senior because it's going to be there last year to play there sport until college. Than the graduate than go to college.
Prom is like a celebration of your last year in highschool, we dance have fun than go to the after party. Than go home around 3am😂
I hope this helps you.
Difference in areas. Agree with prom except for us it combines junior and senior class. The junior class hosts the party for the senior class. We raise money selling junk from our 7th grade year to junior to pay for it.
Homecoming is for alumni. When we "all" come back for one game. (Football for us but I know some smaller schools have it for basketball that dont have football.) We have senior night for every sport to celebrate the seniors. Normally the last home game of the year.
@@erikajones8009 Agreed, it depends on were you live at and what school you go to. Different in each state or county's.
Or 1 year younger. I graduated from high school at 17. But I think in england they generally finish their schooling at age 16.
Thanksgiving is a way to express thanks to all our ancestors and the people that helped with the creation of our nation
....Nope.
I am Native American. And Thanksgiving is a day that was set aside to remember when my ancestors helped Explorers survive their first winter here in the New World. Its a time were people of all races, epidermis colors, faiths, non-faiths, men, women, elderly, middle aged, and children come together and are thankful for life, each other, and all the things that bring us together as humans. It's celebrated usually on the 3rd Thursday of November. Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving for the same reason. My Blackfoot Nation's main reservation is located in Alberta, though my Siksika tribe [which makes up the Confederacy of the Blackfoot Nation] were migritorial peoples and can be found from Missouri headed west clear to Oregon where my family came after leading pioneers on the Oregon Trail. Canadians, and my Tribe usually celebrate Thanksgiving on the 2nd Monday of October....which is closest to the real day the Native Americans/First Nations celebrated it with the European Explorers. The only "canned" food we ate was pumpkin for the pumpkin pie, and maybe the cranberry sauce, although my family made it fresh. We celebrated it in Afghanistan and Iraq with our British allies, and they all loved it....and most of THAT was canned! roflol
Thank you for your service
Well spoken.
These brits say this shit and don’t know what they’re talking about
LAzeR PAndA 05 exactly 😂
Well explained
Ketchup on French toast...and Thanksgiving in a can...man now I've heard it all..haha
Ashley Layson Well they didn’t mention using cinnamon and sugar and that is what makes French Toast
I mean I like ketchup, but ON FRENCH TOAST??? That’s just wrong on so many levels.
I was literally ready for her to say maple syrup but she said KETCHUP?? SHOOK
These are two wild cuckoo birds. It's a wonder they don't starve to death!!!
Food that is canned
My mom and grandma works their butt of in the kitchen making everything form scratch what is this food in the can u speak?
If you’re studying during spring break you’re doing it wrong 😂
THANK YOU!
"Eggy bread" Yall mean French Toast???😂
RIGHT 😭
I've heard Gordan Ramsay call it eggy bread and I was just questioning life itself
They eat it savory, not sweet. Similar, but definitely not identical.
And I want my French sweet not savory
Did she say she put ketchup on her "eggy bread" (french toast)?!? NO!! It'a syrup all the way!
There ain’t ever canned food on a thanksgiving day table most people spend all day cooking
Cooper King13 the only thing canned that for me would be ok to bring are canned smoked oysters, everything else is fresh and homemade. These two are dimwits.
Sean Beckerer you say “are you for real?” To chastise somebody’s tradition, And in the next breath tell somebody else “just because your family...” 🤔 cognitive dissonance much? Just because some Americans might used canned food (although I don’t know where you would find canned turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc) hardly means it’s worth of comment on this video. Hundreds of thousands of Americans (it not more) spend all day, or even all week cooking from scratch for the day.
Sean Beckerer there are roughly 328 million people in this country. If 1% of them cook all day from scratch for thanksgiving “hundreds of thousands” would be grossly UNDERestimating the number of those that do.
Picking fun at the us while wearing a USA shirt
We told my little nephews that eggnog was “Christmas milk”
Thats cute aww, I'm going to use that lol
What I'm getting from this is that Americans just know how to have fun 😂
Everything that they said made me cringe at how wrong they are but yes we do know how to have fun
RANDOM_KIDS 9000 exactly. They r way off. They have to actually know and come to America before they assume
Agreed but, based in my experience in the uk that I basically lived in my whole life before i moved in america 3 years ago. British people are more proper. We have to many breaks so we get to travel more in the uk than the us. Schools in the uk have more breaks so we get to party with friends all the time and we do our own parties. Since England had many cultures each person or groups have their own things to celebrate about so we get to do our own thing so...
Lol we Americans do know how to party
The facts have been dropped
Who els is slowly getting triggered?
Milani Daily me
"Eggy bread" is called French toast. You mix in a drop of vanilla to the egg before beating it. After cooking in in the pan, you top it with maple syrup and melted butter.
MEEEEEEEEEE
lmao meee

Car Boot Sales are called Flea Markets in the US. I laughed at you guys so much. Thanksgiving is the most common American holiday that crosses most cultures. It's very important time for visiting distant families and eating food, especially turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey gravy with other hot dishes.
And nary a can in sight!
@@tarihannah3565🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THANKSGIVING! It cracks me up :) Because it celebrates America's history (however accurate...) so the fact that it offends any British people is hilarious.
Thanksgiving is amazing! It’s where you get together with your family and it’s definitely not canned! It’s ALL homemade!
Bria Hartung I agree Thanksgiving is amazing! And so they understand what Thanksgiving is, it's celebrating when the pilgrims discovered the US and the Indians taught them how to survive. Thanksgiving doesn't have a specific date just usually the 3rd Thursday of November.
Yes!!! I got so offended when she said that 😂😂😂 (not really lol)
This is really the only thing that triggered me cuz my family's Thanksgiving dinner is always homemade
I love Thanksgiving! Getting together with family is so fun and of course, there is SO much food!!
Nothing canned at our Thanksgiving. We cook everything from scratch and it is divine 😊
Same
Yo I dead ass thought "head boy" "head girl" and "prefects" were just in Harry Potter 😂😂😂 learn something new everyday 🤷🏼♂️
Thanksgiving is important to Americans because we have so much more to be thankful for than lesser nations, like the UK.
I had to giggle at that...lol.
what a under cover snide remark...lol
Ouch!!!😂😅😂
Tailgating: Take your pick up truck to the game. Put the tailgate down, have a party in the parking lot.
But remember they don't have our awesome pick up trucks... They have these wimpy weird overgrown cars with a little bit of hauling space.
Don't forget the grill and the cold beers!
Tailgating for us is where u drive up close to the back of someone else’s car
@@hayleyjones6080 down here that's a thing in Nascar LOL
Tailgating also means the same thing they mentioned in the video: following too closely behind somebody. At least it meant that where I grew up in Texas.
Thanksgiving is American for "Thank God we got out of England, and didn't die the first year!"
It is very funny!!! :-) :-) :-)
Tahoe Mike love it. That is hilarious
LOL
*bursts out laughing* sorry, that was just too funny I mean no offense to the British in my outburst of laughter by any means but back in the 1600s to the early 1700s, you guys were pretty tough on us!
Pretty much, but also to celebrate the end of the harvest season. It was the Pilgrims being thankful for a bountiful harvest so they had enough food to last the rest of the year.
Spring break is literally just a 9 day weekend off from school.
Brits call that being on vacation
The only thing 'canned' that might be on a Thanksgiving table is jellied cranberry sauce and the cream of mushroom soup in the green bean casserole because it's kind of a Thanksgiving tradition for some. Regardless,Thanksgiving is the best meal of the year, 99% from scratch! We're talking prep that sometimes starts a week before! :)
1) Cream of mushroom soup BLECH!! 2) Green bean casserole BLECH!!
Yes! I want to educate you because every judgement you made pissed me off. First of all, a "prom" is short for promenade. It is a dance for high school students, usually grades 11 and 12. Prom king and queen really is a popularity contest. My high school did not have prom king and queen, but the rival school across town did. Homecoming is to welcome any former students who might be in town to the football game and the dance afterward. (Most graduates don't go to the dance. We leave it for the current students.) It is to honor those who came before us. Homecoming king and queen is also a popularity contest. We use tailgating in two ways. Number one: following someone too closely in a car. Number two: on a truck, there is a latch that brings the back of the trunk bed flat. That is also called a tailgate. The tailgate is lowered during half-time at a football game, the barbecue is pulled in to the parking lot and hamburgers and/or hot dogs are cooked. Of course, a lot of COLD beer is consumed. Thanksgiving is a holiday set on the fourth Thursday of every November. Therefore, it changes dates every year. Some people now believe it is just a "white" holiday in which the first settlers (the Pilgrims) celebrated the massacre of Native Americans. However, traditional reasons for the holiday are that the Pilgrims were celebrating getting through the first winter in a new land as many died of disease or starvation. A cotillion, coming out party, sweet 16 and debutante are very similar. The cotillion and debutante are the most similar and are held only for the "cream of the crop" and high society. These girls range in age from 16 to 25. It is to bring a young lady in to the high society social circle. (Cotillion is used more in the Southeast Southern States.) A sweet sixteen and coming out party are basically the same, but for the lower class. Do you know what pancakes are? They are made with flour, eggs, milk, sugar, baking powder and salt. Waffles are the same thing, but you add oil to them to make them denser. We have an appliance called a waffle maker that you pour the batter in. They have divots in them to make a pattern. Then you put butter and maple syrup on them when they are cooked. The EGGO is a frozen waffle. Americans (at least older ones!) know what marmalade is! Good god, we're not as stupid as you think. For those of you who don't know, it's like a jelly. Spring break has gotten a BAD reputation! Basically, schools in the U.S. are divided in to four sections of the calendar year, known as quarters. The first quarter is from (from MY experience only!) September through the middle of December. Then it's Christmas vacation for two weeks. Second quarter is from January through the end of March. Spring break is the first week of April. Third quarter is from the second week of April to mid-June. Then we have summer break from mid-June to the end of August which is the fourth quarter. Usually Americans will say 5th grade instead of grade 5. Here's the breakdown: 5-6 is Kindergarten, 6-7 is first grade, 7-8 is 2nd, 8-9 is 3rd, 9-10 is 4th, 10-11 is 5th, 11-12 is 6th, 12-13 is 7th, 13-14 is 8th. Fourteen to 15 is 9th OR a freshman. Fifteen to 16 is 10th grade OR a sophomore. Sixteen to 17 is 11th grade OR a junior. Seventeen to 18 is 12th grade or a senior. It took me about 45 minutes to write this. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
This is really good
i agree everything they said made me mad. it would’ve been better if they guessed then read the actual meaning of everything
Honestly Thank You They Pissed Me Off Like Look It Up Google Is Not That Hard To Use And Why Does It Seem Like All Their Videos Are About Americans And What They Don’t Understand About Us
Forget it guys. They are still trying to win the war of 1812.
I think he said that we don’t know what marmite is, not marmalade, its something that we don’t have here in the states. Also, it’s not sweet which is why she said that it would be salty but I think it is the consistency of jelly
Um thanksgiving is part of our nations history and it’s not just a party
Brenna115 I t w a s a j o k e
You have to Thanksgiving in the USA. It involves church, stores are closed, families get together, church groups get together. Pumpkin recipes, turkey with cranberries and pies, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls. You have to have it in the USA, because it's immersed. Some people start Christmas tidings the next day but others do Thanksgiving for days.
Brenna115 Right?! Plus I spend hours and hours “throwing canned food around” cooking, baking and preparing it 🙂.
@@dennyel2849 like bro why does Britain have a queen? I think they're in the 1200's because they don't have technology.
Egg-nog tasted like a French vanilla shake, but spicier! It’s heaven!
OMG...I had to step out of the room laughing when you brought up the Thanksgiving bit. We (people of the South) can't even imagine what it would be like if someone brought something canned to the dinner! They would be banned from every house represented at dinner. It would be the biggest "Oh NO YOU DON'T" ever. No. You cook. You cook, and if you can't cook, you bring the ice.
It would be a "Bless your heart."
.....Um, if you can't cook, then you simply wouldn't be the host.
"Another party."
God forbid US citizens do something that lifts their spirits or cheer them up.
We pick any reason to party? Y'all pick any reason to complain

Prom started off as the last dance for seniors the last week of school. Homecoming was the first month of school dance. Homecoming from college is what you're talking about. Tailgate is pregaming before the game. Where we drink for cheaper before you pay for more expensive beer in the game. We home make food for Thanksgiving.
Prom is short for Promenade.
Jr can go to senior.
Dear Lord, that's so confusing. 😂
yep
Anyone can go to prom if asked by a junior or a senior in that high school.
Homecoming is a football game inviting alumni back to the school
A “tailgate party” is held in the parking lot outside the football stadium before the game begins. You lower the tailgate of your truck and put a BBQ grill on it and cook lunch on it and just basically have a party there in the parking lot around the tailgate of your truck while you’re waiting for game time.
This was hurtful. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE BRINGS CANNED FOOD TO THANKSGIVING! The horror! Lol
Except "Cranberry sauce".
@@tomfrazier1103 NO! we make it homemade!! Wtf are you on?
If anything, Thanksgiving is the one time we make everything from scratch.
@@quasarfly22 canned cranberry sauce is better than fresh cranberry sauce.
Pumpkin pie... canned. Green bean casserole... canned. Corn... canned. Stuffing... packaged (same thing). Just bc you took the main ingredients out of a can and mixed a few other things into it doesn’t change the fact that it’s canned😂
Thanksgiving isn't canned food!
It's where ur with ur family and u make HOMEMADE food for a celebration!
My cranberry sauce is from a can...though that more tradition then lack of trying.
It's like cracking that can open means everything is FINALLY done.

And if my history is right at the time thanksgiving came about when America was just a British colony so that means it was actually brits that started that one...lol
Spring break is a vacation in the spring for coddled college kids, who often go to Florida and get drunk and trash hotel rooms.
This video was so relatable, and I'm an American! I had a unique experience due to being homeschooled through all my school years until college, and didn't experience many of the things you brought up (like prom and spring break). It's odd that even as a 29 year-old, I'm still just clueless about "normal" things like this, and I often feel like quite the outsider with my friend group. Thank you for posting!
You mean you didn't go to the prom with your mom? There was a young guy who auditioned on AGT a number of years ago. He sang an original song and played the piano. It was all about how he was home schooled, and his date to his prom was his mom.. Every time I hear home schooled, I think of these three sisters who are singers. Their father was british and mother was german. They lived in different countries all over the world. They have two brothers and two younger sisters as well. They never went to school, they were home schooled by their parents. They speak several different languages. I remember I, and others, talking to the oldest sister online, and she had no clue about some of the things we were talking about, going to school. Being a teenager and growing up, all the things you have to go through. She married an American guy and lives in Beverly Hills. I don't think the other two sisters got married or the two youngest sisters or the two brothers. Think only the one is married. They lived for 9 years in Kiev Ukraine. The oldest sister would be talking online in russian to old friends there. She taught me that there is a different language Ukrainian. So I think they speak english, german, russian, ukranian, polish, Slovak. One speaks some arabic. They speak with no accent, they sound like Americans. The other two sisters, of the three, live in London I do believe. The 2 youngest sisters live or had lived with their mother in Germany. Im not sure how old they are now.
haha!! Canned food for Thanksgiving. I spend hours cooking for Thanksgiving starting days beforehand.
Silly Kitty Same !!
Yes! Me too!
Ik right it takes days of prep “canned food”😒

@@DC-jb7oz Its actually very tasty. The name leaves something to be desired, but it's basically, sweet heavy cream that is cooked and thickened so that you can spread it on a scone. A scone is a sweet version of what an American would call a biscuit. I'm American, I've tried it. No complaints, but the name still needs work.
Omg ahahahaha
Thanksgiving kicks off the Christmas holiday shopping season.I actually love Thanksgiving more than Christmas.
Home coming is when the football team goes on the road and then has their “home coming” game back at their “home school” LOL you guys are CRAZY!!! This is insane. Very entertaining video.
Who tf brings canned food to Thanksgiving? 😂 C'mon, guys. At least do your research before you crap on our traditions.
Hey thanks for inviting me to your family dinner, I brought canned food from the dollar store
imagine showing up to a family reunion/thankful event and bringing canned meat to it.
Especially the origins of the traditions
Ya I make chocolate pecan pies, the crust and everything and it takes like three days. None of it is canned.
Everything is made from scratch at my family's thanksgiving except for the cranberry sauce because no one likes it except for my grandpa. That goes from the can to the table to the trash.
4th of July is about our independence from Great Britain not just about partying.

2/. It was proving too costly the manage as a colony.
Did we really lose? We kept the profitable bits which are bigger (Canada and the Caribbean).
The face i pulled when I'm picturing step by step the cooking of eggy bread/french toast and im super on board but then i heard KETCHUP...gag me haha
The eggy bread ur referring too, in America we have it also...its called "French Toast" and its booooommb!
Bomb - diggity!
What kind of monster puts ketchup on French Toast
American here, born and raised, and I have NEVER heard of anyone putting ketchup on french toast. That's just morally wrong. It's syrup or nutella, but never ketchup.
Dat Fishe Boi no one that I know of puts ketchup on French toast, we all use syrup.
Dat Fishe Boi + Your words couldn't be more accurate...ketchup on French Toast....HOLY CRAP!
I put ketchup on eggy bread, which is basically French toast without the cinnamon. Because I am a monster and i like my tomato ketchup.
I put sugar on my French toast. I would NEVER put ketchup on it.. just gross
Y'all claim America has no culture, but don't understand anything about our country 🙄
That’s how stereotypes work. :P
Thing is, America has no culture, mostly because you're not culturally one country. You're lots of little countries each with it's own culture. There is no 'American culture', there's a Southern Culture, a West Coast culture etc

Did you just say ketchup on FRENCH TOAST?! NO. Its Syrup!!!
I like it with strawberry preserves and lots of butter.
Oh hell noooooooo. You have fricking syrup with EGGS 🤮🤮🤮
It does sound like french toast but I bet their eggy bread is more egg involved
Alex Whitworth wut is wrong with brits you put salt and pepper on eggs, NOTHING ELSE.
Kacie Torres brits don’t eat a lot of sugar products though for breakfast like most Americans. They eat more balanced meals and such. If they were to add syrup it would become a dessert to them not a meal or snack. I hope that makes since 😬
They have no idea what thanksgiving is😭🤦🏾♂️

“Americans think 100 years is a long time, Brits think 100 miles is a long way”... the best quote describing major cultural differences between the 2 nations. If you base your thinking geographically, it’s easier to understand American traditions like Thanksgiving, tailgating, homecoming, Spring Break as travel based traditions formed to battle the vast distances in such a large country. It takes much effort and money to visit your family, former classmates, stadiums, and holiday destinations when so much travel is required.
Tailgating evolved from the need to be fed during a long trip to the game. Most large stadiums in the south are located in small University towns 100’s of miles from any large town. These small towns don’t have enough restaurants and hotel space for such large crowds. This lack of accommodation forced fans to bring their own food and drink for the day-long, pre-game meal in the parking lot of the stadium known as tailgating. The gathering of fans in the “car park” outside the stadium has grown to most college and professional football teams regardless of the need to Bring your own food.
Homecoming is another answer to the hassle of travel. Because so many alumni have spread out away from their colleges to all corners of the country it is easy to lose the connection with your college and college friends. Once in the fall and once in the spring the college hosts homecoming events to reconnect alumni to the current faculty and students. Different college clubs, social org, and fraternal groups usually have week long activities as well for their former members. Homecoming gives alumni a chance to revisit old college friends and see the positive changes the school has made. It also gives the school a chance to fundraise towards the returning alumni who should have much more money to give with jobs earned with the help of the schools degree. USA universities are funded largely through donation. High Schools have just copied this tradition but on a much smaller and localized scale, usually involving former students within the same city.
Spring Break is a “rite of passage” for high school and college students to “holiday” away from their parents for a week for the first time. This usually involves many inland students driving hundreds if not thousands of miles to warmer climates, usually the beach. Remember, most American students don’t get the opportunity to travel to different places much less different countries on the weekend like Europeans. Spring Break lets young people borrow the parents car, pack it full of friends and unsavory items and road trip to a warm place and party with barely clothed members of the opposite sex unsupervised. What’s not to like?
Traveling for Americans is a much bigger commitment than for most Brits. If you want to get out of town and visit new places it requires a car full of gas, a huge chunk out of the calendar, and a pretty good reason. As an American, unless you live in the northeast along the coast, your spending a good portion of your life in a car going places instead of actually being places. Most of our culture and practices are manifested from dealing with the large size of America. As with the UK, so much of the culture and practices is manifested by the vast history of the country.
You wrote a lot.

Gosh, Coffee, that's the most rounded reason I have ever heard for our group of holidays and parties.

It is a party that grew out of the mob collective just like mardi gras." I kept explaining each one in my head. I now bow to your superior answer!! Thank you!
them: what is eggnog, isn't that "american" ??
*eggnog originated in the UK.....*
Robert no...
13th century Monks called it “posset”. Originated in Britain.
Also Thanksgiving has its' origins in English culture and was originally celebrated in North America by English settlers.

Thanksgiving is really about spending time with your family. When you live in the USA, you have family who lives 3 hours north of you, another family 5 hours east of you, and your mother lives an hour south of you. So you invite them all to your home, everyone works together to cook a ton of dishes. you all spend time together cooking, eating, playing games, watching football. before eating, it is tradition to go around the table where everyone states what it is they are most thankful for. it acts as an opportunity for us all to realize life is about the people you spend your time with, and show them your love for them.
Eggo is the brandname of a premade frozen breakfast waffle. you put them in a toaster and add syrup. its simple and easy. not really much flavor to it.
eggnog is an egg based drink that also has cream and cinnamon added to it. its very thick and almost similar to milk. However it is considered a holiday season drink, or christmas and thanksgiving beverage. Many people like to "make it irish" , or add liquor, spirits, to it
LOLed when I heard that they want to prepare pudding for Thanksgiving. :))
Thanksgiving is a very traditional holiday when the family gets together and everybody celebrates it (not everybody celebrates Christmas). Families usually prepare roasted turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Also, they prepare sweet potatoes (or yams) and green bean casserole on the side. Some families also prepare corn bread. For desert, you get a pumpkin pies or apple pie (or both).
We also have Mince meat pie, and I make a Tiramisu Cheesecake with the Pumpkin.
Nobody tell them how funny "headboy" and "headgirl" sound.
Most people have heard those terms before from Harry Potter because it is based in Britain. They are new terms to Americans.

Nope. We have it the Caribbean too...which makes sense since we were formerly colonised by England😂
1. Prom is the biggest dance in high school. You seem to have a pretty good idea of what Prom King and Queen is.
2. Homecoming is a huge football game and then a dance.
3. A tailgate party usually happens in a parking lot or an empty lot you would open your trunk or put down your tailgate and put food and drinks out and just have fun.
4. Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November it revolves around a celebration between American settlers and natives. Thanksgiving food is NEVER canned.
6. Eggos are just a brand of pancakes and waffles that you can cook in the toaster.
7. We call that French Toast.
8. Spring break is the week we get off school for Easter, it became more of a party holiday because of MTV.
A freshman is someone who is in their first year of high school, usually between the age of 14 and 15.
Whomst'd've
Thanksgiving (USA) is always the 4th Thursday of November. (Because November has 30 days, some years there are 5 Thursdays in November. On one of those years, showing up on the last Thursday would have you arriving a full week too late.)
--Peace
Unless it's a freshman in college. Then they'll be like 18 or 19.
Our French Toast is made with day old white bread left out overnight to get extra dry to soak up more egg mixture. After cooking you /we would put either powdered sugar or maple syrup on it. Then a big glass of ice cold milk along with it. In my old age I've taken to adding two or three ice cubs to the glass of milk so it's ice cold to the end mmmmm .
In very small towns they will have a homecoming town party in addition to the football game and dance. The town I grew up in we had a 3 day block party with games and food ect...
You forgot cotillion, or debutante ball... when the girls usually around 17, are presented to society.
