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

up until the late 1940s, our Navy use to serve baked beans for breakfast once a week.
Black pudding is tasty!
,,, I see at the rear of the plate there’s a couple of slices of black pudding - yum!!!
If the definition of forever is less than 100 years.
That’s what the Irish one is called.................
I love a good Full English Breakfast! Better be hungry if you expect to finish it.
I agree accept for Mexican food. I just can't good Mexican food here except for maybe Texas.
A street taco in Cabo is better than most of the fake stuff we get here.
Irish Breakfast, do you mean 1 large cup of black coffee with a shot of Northcross?
There is a theory that the reason that the Brits conquered so much of the world was because they were just looking for something good to eat for dinner.
There is a reason that the most common restaurant in London is Indian. Most of the patrons aren’t Indian.
I like French food too.
Well, there are the Americanized fish and chips places which I've found to be consistently pretty good. A lot of times I like the fish with the British malt vinegar instead of tartar sauce.
When I lived in England, I found the local fish and chips shops to be wildly inconsistent. Sometimes they'd be the best fish I ever ate and then the next time downright nasty. I'm not sure, but it may have been the type of fish that was available to the shop on a particular day.
If it doesn’t have roasted kidneys, it isn’t a full English breakfast.
I found that out the hard way one time…I thought they were mushrooms.
It kind of why Americans and many other parts of the world drink multiple cups ground up beans that are roasted run thru steaming hot water on a daily basis.
They are around. I know of 5 off the top of my head around San Jose and San Fransicko in CA. 3 are a chain, the other two are individual ones.
DallasBiff - So what was the flippin detail that startled the Brits??????
You didn’t include that information in the excerpt or your comment, and I couldn’t read most of the article because of all the pop-up ads.
Talk about click-bait.....
,,, some fish and chip shops do a pre-cook of the fish, others don’t. If it’s cooked in one hit in cotton seed oil, there’s nothing better. This is rare as cotton seed oil is very expensive.
Having worked in the restaurant industry when I was a teenager, I can tell you it’s the cooking oil. It must be changed at least once a week....If you can find out when they change the oil, buy the fish and chips on that day..............
Heaven is where the cooks are French, the policemen are English, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and the bankers are Swiss.
