Juice is filteted, pasteurized, and usually concentrated. Cider isn't.

What you call “cider,” we call “hard cider” or “alcoholic cider.” The reason is that during Prohibition in the 1920s, the word “cider” cane to mean a non-alcoholic, unfiltered form of apple juice. If you don’t refrigerate apple cider, it will quickly ferment.

James Darnell And Pilsner is a type of pale lager. Also, Bud Light outsells Miller Lite & Budweiser (and every other beer in america for that matter) and Bud Light is a lager too.

Here's a little info about Walker's and Lay's. Lay's potato chips were started in Nasville, Tennessee in 1932. Walker's crisps were introduced in England in 1948 by a Henry Walker. In 1989, Lay's purchased Walker's crisps, but left the name the same since they are so well known in England. This explains why the logos are the same.

I live in Utah-USA, I'm 48 years old and have seen and eaten HP sauce much of my life. Bacon comes in many different thicknesses, flavors, cure types, and amounts of marbling so it depends on what you decide to buy for yourself. Cider has always been available in the USA, and yes we do have Lager as well as all other varieties of beer. I've bought clotted cream at my local grocery for about 30 years now. Lays potato chips come in the shrimp cocktail flavor here which is the same as the walkers. We do have meat pies, here they are most often called pot pies. Jaffa cakes can also be purchased at the local grocery here. You can get the Heinz plowman pickle here 🤮. You can get English style crumpets here they just aren't as easy to find as the English muffin.

The whole Walker’s and Lays thing is because Walker’s was a regional brand. Lays owns Walker’s, but Walker’s was so endearing to the locals as a brand that Lays had no choice but to leave the name as is. There is a similar thing here in America with fast food locations. Carl’s Jr. owns Hardee’s restaurants and something similar had to happen, locals favored the Hardee’s brand name instead.

As far as comparison to A-1 - it’s much more tart & fresh. It doesn’t taste like a bottled sauce if that makes sense. It’s GREAT (oddly enough) on chicken fried steak if you don’t make the cream gravy. Actually I’ve never tried it on other fried foods but it might be good for many American fried foods. Kinda like back in the 90s when we figured out that sparkling wine (PROSECCO J&L if you read this!) is a great thing to drink with very spicy or unctuous (fatty) foods!! Anyway they both work because they rely more on acidity than umami.

I heard of brown sauce years ago. When The Power Station had released their debut album, there was a magazine interviewing John Taylor and Andy Taylor. There was a part where Andy was talking about his youth. I don't remember if he was going out, or playing a club, but anyway, when he got home, he said he ate a cheese sandwich with "brown sauce". It was notable, because he didn't name it, like ketchup or mustard, just "brown sauce". Decades later, I FINALLY know what he was speaking of! While we DO have crispy bacon, on occasion, it can be fatty. Our cider is more or less apple juice, served both cold or heated. I can't say this for sure, but y'all's clotted cream looks like our cream cheese. There's even cream cheese ice cream! We have meat pies. It looks like a sealed fruit pie(like a snack pie from Hostess), but with seasoned ground beef, and without a sugar glaze on the pastry itself. Y'all say "veg", short for vegetables. We say "veggies". We do have English muffins. At first glance of the picture, that's what crumpets looked like to me.

Frito-Lay is an American snack company, owned by PepsiCo. In 1989, they acquired Walker’s and Smith’s (which I saw in Australia, as well). Basically, all three brands have been standardized globally, customizing snack flavors regionally. The eastern seaboard of the US might someday get to sample the UK’s prawn cocktail flavor if their market research shows that it will sell well here. I hope we do! We do have crumpets, but they’re not common. English muffins are completely different and much more common. Crumpets remind me of small pancakes that have only been cooked on one side, so you see all the little bubbles on the side opposite the cooking surface. If you cook pancakes at all you’ll know what I’m talking about. We also have clotted cream, it’s just not very common. I’ve had rashers in Australia which I think are very much like British rashers, but I don’t think they’re comparable to American bacon, which is smoked pork belly.

We can get crumpets, cider, & clotted cream here in the US. I've even found marmite. I'm sure I can also find the HP sauce, as well. British bacon is like a really thinly sliced pork chop, especially if it's cooked the way it's typically cooked in the UK. American bacon is pork belly that has been salt cured and cold smoked.

1.HP Sauce = A1 Steak Sauce... 2. Lays came 1st... 3. Cider = Hard Cider 4. Lager exists 5. Devonshire clotted cream is available in Hawaii at least, more in a gourmet store not a grocery store.. I have a jar in my fridge right now... I 1st had it 30yrs ago at the Moana Hotel in Waikiki where they serve cream tea... 6. Crumpets too are available in the refrigerated section at least here in Hawaii... They are totally different from English Muffins... I'm a foodie though & make my own from scratch maybe once a month... they are easier to make than a lot of yeast breads or English Muffins... You win with the rest on your list..

Here in Arizona you can find HP sauce in the “international foods” aisle...close to the Jewish foods. We also have a lot of lager 🙂 All of us Americans will know the commercials for Sam Adams Boston Lager

@Carolyn Green If they're full of holes then yes they're crumpets. Toast them until golden brown, spread a generous amount of salted butter on top while they are piping hot, and let the butter melt through the holes. Then take your first bite. Butter will probably trickle down your chin, but that's just part of the joy. Next try one with butter and jam (jelly). Enjoy.

I did snack on the Prawn Cocktail Crisps, along with a tart ginger beverage that wasn't like ginger ale in the states. I also had the scones with clotted cream and jam, as well as crumpets. They were delicious. So were the meat pies. The English and Irish breakfasts were also amazing. So, I will look forward to visiting again when the pandemic is over to enjoy more of the U.K.

If I've got this right... Crumpets are a yeast pancake (griddle cake) that isn't flipped. At the point you'd usually flip a pancake, you instead remove it from the griddle, and usually toast it. I have a sourdough pancake recipe; I might try adapting it.

That’s not quite what they’re talking about. British cider is the same as the hard cider that’s sold alongside beer-always cold and alcoholic.

On this side of the pond, we have Herr's "Old Bay", Lay's "Chesapeake Bay Crab Spice" and Utz "The Crab Chip" "Crisps" As mentioned by Ashley (below), here a "Prawn Cocktail" is a "Shrimp Cocktail" and the shrimps are generally served with a Cocktail sauce made of Grated Horseradish, Tomato Ketchup and hot sauce. The shrimps are often served in a cocktail stem or a champagne coupe filled with shaved ice and a shotglass full of the cocktail sauce with teh prawns arranged around the rim of the cocktail or champagne glass.

In most grocery stores , we have cider , we just differentiate between hard and sparkling. Sparkling cider is usually on the juice aisle and is sold all year round but sees sales rise during the holidays , one brand in particular, Martinelli's Gold m Medal and it comes in regular sparkling apple and different flavors. Hard cider can either be in the refrigerated cooler with the beer or on the shelf with other spirits. Hard cider from what I have seen( I don't drink) has seen a rise in popularity over last few years. One particular brand , Strongbow hard cider is actually a sponsor of a cooking show that comes on PBS. I've seen Scottish Shortbread and McVittie's raspberry biscuits (& have bought them)as well as biscoff in the cookie aisle @ my local supermarket. It just depends on where you are in US as to whether certain British foods can be found. The founder of Thomas' English Muffins was actually from England. As the story goes, after he emigrated to the US, he began company to make the crumpets he remembered making and having in England.

We do have English muffins, true, but our store, Trader Joe's, sells traditional crumpets. 😊

I tried Crumpets once here but they probably were 'not' of comparable quality to the top brands avail over the pond. All that in to consideration though, I still feel that Thomas English Muffins would be hard to beat. Toasted just right smothered in butter and then add your favorite whether it's: honey, raspberry, strawberry, marmalade, even peanut butter, or an egg and cheese ham or bacon. Never had any complaints. An excellent product in value and reliable quality imho.

Alex and Kate on their channel “This with Them”, send British candy boxes to their subscribers I know. Maybe they have some trade secrets.

According to my google search, I came up with this explanation: Pepsi acquired Walkers and re-branded it with the Lay's logo and products in 1989. The snack food is exactly the same, but PepsiCo decided to keep the Walkers name to ensure customer brand loyalty in the United Kingdom.

@MagentaOtterTravels

You are correct! I managed the Lay's brand here in the US in the early 2000's. We changed the Lay's logo around the world to be the same no matter what branding was in a specific country... the round yellow "sun" with a red banner across it ☺

The US DOES have Cider. Usually called Hard Cider. Hasn't been around a very long time, but over the last decade has become quite popular.

I enjoyed this video but I was distracted bc I’m wondering how Ava is doing today. I know... this was filmed a while ago. But... how is Ava doing today?

Im pretty sure HP is what we call steak sauce, like A1.

Walkers were acquired by Lay's in 1989 and re-branded as Lays, so if you started eating Walkers after "89" you were eating American crisps, not sure if the taste changed, you can ask some of the older crowd if the taste changed but I think Joel & Lia are too young.

They’re usually both $7.99, and come in small, 170g (6 oz.) glass bottles with a jar lid. Most WF stores where I live put them in the cheese section near the fresh mozzarella balls.

Judy Reyes It tastes like strawberry jam, but “sparkly” and with mint. I definitely recommend it.

I have had HP sauce in several British pubs in Northern California. I found that HP tastes almost exactly like Heinz 57 sauce.

I'm well acquainted with brown sauce. Before going to Scotland, I watch a vlog (by Wee Scottish Lass), say that Scots much prefer brown sauce on chips, than vinegar. On eating it, when I was there, I remembered having it before, in the States. But I remember it as "English sauce." Since then, I've never been without a bottle of it, in my pantry. My regular supermarket has them in their International section. / We don't have prawn cocktail crisps but shrimp chips. They are shrimp-flavored corn crisps, imported from Japan. / Ciders are actually growing in popularity here. More craft beer brewers are crafting ciders and more are appearing in American bars. / More British & Irish pubs are opening here, offering meat pies. I occasionally go to the Three Lions Pub, in the next town, for steak & kidney pie, with chips, & a pint of Bass ale. / Most American supermarkets use to have crumpets and I remember seeing commercials for various brands on TV. But since this century began, their popularity has declined.

Instead of sending the actual food - why don’t you all do recipes of your favorite British foods - maybe you all could do videos making the items - then we could watch and make them ourselves - just a though - you were talking about the proper way to make English Tea - show us how.
