- There's a lot of food in there.
- That's overwhelming.
I'm sorry.
- Whew (laughs).
Wow.
- I don't know.
It could be anything.
- Hi, I'm Tom, I'm from the UK.
- And I'm Jeff, and I'm from the US.
- And today we are going to be swapping takeaway orders
for 24 hours.
- Takeaway orders, take out orders, fast food orders,
whatever you want to call it.
That's what we're swapping.
- [Tom] So Jeff, for breakfast you are going to be having
a classic bacon roll and a cup of tea.
And make sure the bacon roll comes with brown sauce
'cause that is a classic and important element
of this breakfast meal.
For lunch you are going to be having a lamb doner kebab.
And then for dinner, you're going to be having a Vindaloo
with pilau rice and some little starter sides as well.
- All right, Tom.
So for breakfast, I'm sending you some coffee and donuts,
classic staple, and you're eating American,
so you've got to have coffee for the day, no tea.
For lunch you're getting my all time favorite Taco Bell,
and for dinner you're getting some wings
and a bunch of dips.
Americans love dips.
And of course, Ranch dressing will be in there
for you to actually try it for real this time.
Enjoy your American meal,
I cannot wait to see which dip is your favorite.
- Let's do it.
- Okay. It's breakfast time
and I am having Gregg's.
I have a bacon roll and I have some tea.
First thoughts is I find it interesting that
your bacon is like our ham.
I would call this, like a piece of ham.
Bacon is like, for us, is smaller and like,
I don't know, crispier.
And then it's topped with some brown sauce.
As Tom said, I find it weird that you call this
brown sauce when you don't call,
like ketchup red sauce, mustard yellow sauce,
mayo white sauce.
- Okay. So the Krispy Kremes have arrived.
I think it's kind of early in the day
to be consuming this amount of sugar,
but they do look like I got a good selection to be fair.
The Krispy Kreme place didn't do coffee.
So I've made a cafetiere of it myself,
or a French press I think an American person would call it.
Stunning brew.
I've never had donuts for breakfast before.
I just feel like it's really an intense way
to start the day.
Yeah.
So first up we've got your classic, like Homer Simpson.
This is like, you're so Chief Wiggum moment.
Worth it.
Oh my God those are really good.
Okay. Next up is what I think is a jam donut,
except it's glazed.
We've got like sugary donut with sugary jam in it,
and then just put, you put sugary glaze on the outside.
Okay.
It is really good though.
If you're starting your day with this much of a sugar high,
are you not just, like, asking for like a sugar crash
around like one, 2:00 PM, surely.
(upbeat music)
- It's not bad.
It's just bacon and bread.
If you like to those two things, obviously
you're going to like this.
The brown sauce definitely helps.
I don't think this would be very good
without any sort of sauce.
It'd be pretty dry, and just like bland and salty.
It's not exactly how I would want to start my day.
Usually more like of a fruit, yogurt and granola person,
but I'm fully aware I gave Tom donuts.
So I can't really talk.
I would have this breakfast again.
Yeah. This breakfast is totally fine.
I think I would prefer mine
with a little bit more substance on it,
probably at least just eggs.
- Next up is what I think is the Biscoff one.
Now this, this makes nothing but sense.
Because like Biscoff are those little biscuits that you get
in like a cafe or a coffee shop, whatever,
when you get a coffee.
So these two being together, that makes sense to me.
This is--
This isn't quite so sweet, so I like it more.
Next up is this delightfully pink donut.
I don't know what it is.
It smells like strawberries.
Oh wow (coughs).
This one is not for me, so much.
It has like, cream and jam inside.
Oh, it's like 10 in the morning.
That's overwhelming, I'm sorry.
I don't know what it is.
It's just, it's a chocolate donut obviously,
but is it gonna have chocolate inside?
Is it gonna have cream inside?
Is it gonna be like, peanut butter?
I just don't know at this point.
It's chocolate inside.
Chocolate topped, chocolate filled.
Ooh, yeah.
(gasps) This one is great.
And finally we have the classic glazed donut.
This is the one that I think I'd most likely choose
for breakfast, if I had the choice.
Maybe not as sweet as some of other filled ones.
Yeah.
My review of this is, the filled donuts are a little much
to start your day with.
But it's like a treat if you're gonna have, like,
one of these and a coffee, this is perfect.
This is really, really nice.
Yeah, I get it.
Thanks, Jeff.
Hope you're enjoying your bacon sandwich.
- And then a tea for breakfast, which I've never had.
I've obviously had tea before,
but I've never had tea for breakfast.
I am a coffee drinker.
So, this is gonna be an interesting way to start the day.
First of all, I'm so, I'm so bad with hot drinks.
That wasn't like, out of disgust.
It's so hot!
I don't know how you guys drink things
that are so hot immediately.
Like, I have to drink iced coffee,
or at least like, warm-ish coffee.
But like getting this right away, drinking straight hot,
it like, burns your tongue!
I don't get how people do it.
Never have.
But the tea's like, fine.
(record scratches)
(booing)
That statement alone is gonna piss off a lot of,
a lot of people.
But yeah, it's not like mind-blowing.
It's just like, I dunno, flavored water almost.
And then I get kicked out of the country for not loving tea.
I just really wish I could have coffee.
I don't mind the tea, but I just need a bit more
of a caffeine kick.
I'm actually a little bit excited about this.
More takeaway!
I don't really know what to expect.
Who's ready, who's nervous?
Bum-ba-da-da!
Look at that.
Wow.
I'm actually really, really hungry.
I'm not sure breakfast really held me over very well.
Not exactly what I would go for, for like, you know,
your everyday lunch, but it looks pretty bomb,
so I'm like kind of really excited, actually.
Tell me how one goes about eating this.
It's half in the pita, half not in the pita.
I don't really know, I'm already a mess.
- So it's lunchtime.
This has just arrived.
How entirely thrilling.
I've actually never had a Taco Bell before,
I'm very excited about it.
Okay, so, we've got a bunch of things.
First up there is some kind of taco situation.
Oh my God, this is amazing.
I can't believe I'm actually having Taco Bell.
It's like ground meat, and then like, lettuce, tomato,
and cheese I think.
- All right, from the top
Let's go. - Let's go.
- I mean, like, what is this.
- Americans in the comments, can you tell me
if I'm eating these correctly, because like,
are they supposed to crack and go everywhere?
It's not the most elegant thing to eat, but I don't think
that's what this is about.
This is delicious.
I'm thoroughly impressed.
- All right.
Just as expected, all over the floor.
All over me, all over the floor, all over the table,
what are you gonna do.
- Next let's have the fries.
These look good.
They look like regular fries,
some kind of paprika situation on there.
Oh my God, okay.
So the sauce, I think this is like a nacho cheese dip,
which I'm really not about.
It's like the type of cheese sauce that they put, like,
on top of nachos at the cinema.
And I just, like that,
Ahhh. Okay.
I'm not normally reluctant to eat things like...
Okay.
(quirky music)
Yeah, you know it doesn't taste bad, exactly.
I don't know what cheese sauce like this, like, is.
Like, why is it soft like that, like why do I know
it'll never harden, like?
Something about, like, cheese like that
just like creeps me out.
Next up is the main attraction.
Oh my God.
Look at the size, like the size of my head.
I have no idea what lies beneath this tortilla.
I don't know, could be anything.
- Like the chili oil on this, or whatever the chili is,
is really, really good.
It adds a little bit of a kick, and then the mayo
kinda cools it down.
Adds a little bit of additional flavor to the lamb.
It's really good.
I'm so sorry, it's really, really, really good.
- Let's just go for it.
(quirky music)
This has a similar flavor to the taco,
but it's way less difficult to eat.
Would be my review.
I'm all in for this.
Okay, next up I'm gonna try these things.
They're weird, they're like, they're like, they're crisp.
They're like, crunchy and hard.
But they're like also, in like, pasta shapes,
and they look like they've got, like, black pepper on them.
(crunches)
Oh hang on.
Is it cinnamon?
Are these the cinnamon things?
Is this a dessert?
I think I can taste cinnamon.
They're kinda like, can you imagine churros,
they're really short and turned into, like, Quavers.
That's what these are.
That's bizarre.
I've never had anything like that before.
- This is a lot, too.
This is a lot of food in there.
I could definitely, definitely, definitely see people
getting this after a night out.
You're a little bit drunk, you've had a few drinks,
and you're a little bit hungry,
and you just scarf this down.
Probably have this huge thing in like three bites.
Half of it goes on the floor,
you wake up it's on your shoes.
Yeah, again, not something I'd really crave for lunch,
when I have work right after, but would get again, 100%.
So yeah.
- Taco Bell, yes.
Cheese sauce, no.
And that's my review.
I just got cheese sauce everywhere (laughs).
- Alrighty, it is dinner time.
The doner kebab from lunch really filled me up.
It's been several hours and I am still really not hungry.
I am excited and nervous.
I've never had spicy curry before.
I don't do very well with spice.
I've never heard of a Vindaloo before.
Okay, so here it is.
It's bright red.
Whoo!
I can sense the spice from the smell.
It looks really good though.
I'm like, I can't turn it over
because that will pour everywhere.
- It's dinnertime, finally.
I'm sorry if I look a little groggy, it's literally because
I had fast food, the work day ended, and I felt so tired.
And I've actually been asleep for like the past hour,
like I had to nap.
The food was like super heavy, I just felt sleepy.
So, (laughs).
Without further ado, it's wings time.
It's some Buffalo wings,
and then there are plain, fried wings.
And then loads of sauces.
We've got Ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, Chipotle mayo,
sriracha hot sauce, and Carolina barbecue.
This, to me, is overwhelming.
I understand wanting variety, but is that not overwhelming,
'cause every bite is gonna taste different, like,
where's the consistency, you know?
- Cheers.
(quirky music)
Oh.
Wow.
The spice kicks in right away.
It does not--
The spice didn't come around to play.
Oh my God.
It happened so fast.
I feel like they say milk is better for spice,
'cause yeah, the water just--
Whoo!
(laughs)
Wow.
People enjoy that.
People like, look forward to that!
No disrespect, it's just, the spice level.
Like, tastes great, but.
It is really good, but that spice comes in fast,
let me tell ya!
Woohoo!
That is very spicy.
It is really--
it's delicious.
I think I need it with a few (moans).
Few spice levels down would be nice.
Oh my God, my tongue is burning.
My tongue is buzzing.
I know there's other people in the world who could probably
eat that, no problem, wouldn't even find that spicy.
So I'm probably coming across as such a little baby,
but this is hot (laughs)
- Wicked wing sauce, that could mean anything.
With the word wicked in it,
that makes me think maybe it'll be spicy?
I don't know how to describe it.
It's like, kinda like a sweet, creamy sauce.
Kind of like salad cream (laughs)?
Six outta 10.
Okay next up we have Chipotle mayo.
I think I know what that is, kinda like smokey,
like Mexican flavor, right?
That's amazing.
The Chipotle mayo's incredible.
I'm gonna give the Chipotle mayo an eight out of 10.
Next, let's go for the hot sauce.
Hot sriracha sauce, let's go.
This is the best one we have.
Spicy sauces are the ones to go with wings the best, for me.
I would eat every single wing with this, if I had enough.
This is top tier for the week, this is hot sauce,
this is 10 outta 10.
Hundred percent.
Next, it's gonna be Carolina barbecue.
What exactly makes it Carolina?
Okay, Carolina barbecue, let's go.
That is amazing as well.
Wow, all these sauces are really good.
I'm starting to get the idea, like, I would never
in a million years have ordered more than two types of dip.
In my head I was like, "that's just, that's excessive,
"it's too much, it's gonna confuse your palate too much."
But all I'm doing now is like, I get a different taste
with every bite, you get variety,
you don't have to commit to anything.
It's more fun.
I'm loving this.
I'm sat here eating wings by myself,
I'm having the time of my life.
Carolina barbecue is another really high scorer.
This is a nine outta 10.
- All right.
Oh my God, it's like, still going.
It like comes at, it's like getting stronger.
All right.
We got some sides, I'm just gonna dig right in.
(mid tempo music)
I needed this to cleanse the palate a little bit,
get rid of the spice.
Holy moly.
- It's Ranch dressing, yes?
So does that mean it's supposed to go on salad?
'Cause I hear people talking about Ranch all the time.
- You absolutely need some Ranch.
Ranch is like the all-American dressing,
all-American flavoring.
I'm telling you, everything goes in Ranch.
- And I never hear people actually putting it on salads.
So is dressing just a word, or is it that people
are literally abusing this dressing and using it
for their own means?
Either way, I'm cool with it, I'd just like to understand.
Ahhh.
It tastes different than what I thought it would taste like.
And it's more like, herby and peppery than I thought.
Clearly Ranch is the kind of thing you can't do at home,
you just have to get the real stuff.
And thank God, because that is really, really good.
I'm gonna give the Ranch a nine outta 10.
- Today has been a journey, my friends.
I feel like Tom took me a little bit all around the world,
which is kind of cool.
I feel like, yeah, there's a range on takeaway,
there's a range on fast food.
Not one thing was like the other,
and I think that's really, really cool.
It was quite a different, unique, varying day.
- Half an hour ago, if you had showed me all these sauces
and been like, "Oh, hi Tom, we're gonna have dinner,
"these are your condiments."
I would've been like, "are you kidding?"
Instead of being overwhelming, this is actually just
the beauty of choice, and I'm all for that.
- So overall, I actually had a fantastic day.
You have really screwed me over in the past,
in previous videos
- (laughs)
- And this one was like, fantastic.
I loved the doner kebab.
I absolutely loved it.
Just like, gross, and like fatty.
They packed so much meat into that tiny little pita,
like they gave me enough for like, a family of four.
- I loved my day that I had eating American takeaway food.
The only thing that I might change is that maybe some
of the foods might not be quite so heavy.
Between having lunch and dinner I literally had to have
a half an hour nap, because the Taco Bell made me so sleepy.
Like, oh and let me tell you, Ranch has redeemed itself.
100%
- Thank--
Ah, I am...
I could cry.
Now only if you had that Ranch to dip your Taco Bell in!
Oh!
There's no shade to the UK menu.
I like, absolutely loved it.
But Taco Bell and Ranch dressing are two of my all-time
favorite things in the entire world.
There's no way I can reject the American menu.
As much as I loved the UK one,
I still would have to choose American.
- Yeah and you know what, I echo your sentiment
in the inverse way.
Like, although I enjoyed your menu thoroughly,
like, the glazed donut and the coffee, delicious.
The wings with like the million different sauces,
transcendent.
If I ever turn my back against a bacon sandwich,
I don't think I feel right about myself.
So I--
Thank you for sharing this with me, but I think
in this instance we can just agree to disagree,
and that's okay.
- And that's okay.
You know, if I could eat all six things in one day--
- Yeah - I would, you know?
- See, now that's someone who's thinking with their head.
I like it.
(upbeat music)
