He enjoys trying different foods from different countries - but a clear favourite is the UK. The content creator often travels to try some of our nation's favourite treats.

He has tried Toby Carvery and Greggs, as well as drank Yorkshire Tea, tucked into some fish and chips, a Costa Coffee toastie, and recently he tried our version of a christmas-dinner>Christmas dinner.

For his Full English breakfast taste test he tried a traditional café in Swindon, Blues Cafe in Havelock Street. The eatery, which has now gone viral thanks to Kalani, has had praise for its "nice and quick" service and "fabulous breakfast" on Trip Advisor. Kalani went viral and raked in over 93,000 likes after sharing his verdict

I will never understand the Brits fascination with baked beans.

It's a slow news day, have fun.

I’ve heard people yammer about a big Irish breakfast, but never heard anything about English breakfast. Looks pretty mundane stuff.

Baked beans were introduced into the British breakfast diet as a result of a 1927 ad campaign by the Heinz corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Big Bean”) - so we are to blame. Why the Brits drink leaves suffused by hot water is a bit if a mystery...

The Brits were once a great people with a great civilization and a great empire. Success caused their descent into rabid Marxified atheists, rampaging pederasts, and gullible globalists.

nasty. And the dude’s hair was dragging in the food when he leaned over his plate. The U.S. has THE best food on the planet; one exception may be Italy. Even the dishes that originate from a foreign land are better here.

WE have Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Thai, Indian, and Korean restaurants, and even an Irish one.

Why are there no British restaurants?..............

When my sweetie & I visited London some years ago we were quite surprised by the baked beans & tomato as ‘breakfast food.’ But it was fine.

The Brits’ baked beans, mixed with the over-easy egg chopped up, are quite good, IMO.

The banger is tasteless. IMO. If coated with enough baked bean sauce, it’s tolerable.

And give me double toast, hold the fried bread.

I miss those many UK breakfasts I had through working there. Not a great place for food but the breakfasts were spot on.

Beans on toast have been a British breakfast thing since “forever.”

Steak & eggs, OJ, coffee with a pinch of salt.
Pasties are not bad.

I had a full English breakfast when I was in London for a conference. It was good, but not available here in the US.
