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

England, the country that conquered half the world so they could trade spices and then never used them in their cooking.

Summer of 79: after helping the owner of Hotel Ostseeblick close down the bar at about 4AM, I’d head over to my girlfriend’s house for breakfast. She was a waitress who worked in town (Lutjenburg). She fixed me Zweibelrost, basically raw hamburger with onion seasoning., on toast . Simple fare, but delicious with coffee.

Usually, a couple of my soldiers had assignations with her roommates and needed a ride to the base. I was happy to do so. The surprise on their faces at seeing me was comical. The town came to life during the summer, and had the greatest concentration of newly divorced women I had ever seen, and they fell in love with my soldiers. We were the only Americans for 200 miles.

If you ever tasted British food, or seen British women….you’ll know why they built a navy and sailed away, and then made it the world’s strongest to defend their ability to not go home.

The banger is tasteless. IMO.

In Poland, the banger gets replaced typically by a hot dog. Was not a fan. I think the culture of spices and salt on meat forgot to travel north from Southern Europe but was picked back up in the US.

The egg looks like it was poached. I remember seeing the fry cooks at a Jolyon’s chain restaurant in London cooking eggs in about an inch of simmering oil. Looked strange but the eggs tasted OK.

No issues, small town butcher who took pride in his craft. In 4+ years in Germany, I never had a bad meal.

Why the Brits drink leaves suffused by hot water is a bit if a mystery...

><

This American does, as do people all over the world.

I like mine both hot and over ice.

Try it sometime.

Vegans obviously don’t eat meat, fish... and also don’t eat any dairy or eggs, so who knows what the heck is on that plate. Yuck !!
