American living in the UK slams the taste of British chicken - before realising huge error
An American woman living in the UK has had a rude awakening after accidentally consuming raw chicken. Gizelle Cade, who is from California but now lives in the UK, shared a video to TikTok in which she branded a breaded chicken product from Marks & Spencer 'so gross'. In the clip, she held a piece of half-eaten chicken up to the camera to show the pink flesh and blood near the bone inside. Criticising the chicken, Gizelle said: 'For the record, if you are ever eating chicken that has this kind of pink in it, it is bad. 'It's really, really bad. Look at that. So gross.' She wrote in the caption: 'Tried M&S chicken. It was pink. Emetophobia kicked in. Instant panic.' Emetophobia is the fear of vomit. Those who suffer from it often avoid foods that could make them sick and throw up, including undercooked meats that could lead to food poisoning. However, Gizelle was quickly corrected by British viewers, who pointed out that unless she had bought the chicken from the picnic foods section of M&S, the meat required cooking before it could be eaten. However, it transpired that the American had no idea the breaded chicken product had to be cooked at a high temperature for a set amount of time before it could be eaten In one of her replies to comments, it was apparent she was under the impression that the chicken only needed to be heated, not cooked. She said: 'It was cooked, it's the Southern Chicken that comes cooked, all you gotta do is heat it.' But others reiterated that the product would have had to be cooked in the oven or air fryer for a certain amount of time, and the instructions were stated on the package. 'It's part cooked,' one person clarified, while another added: 'It literally says that you need to cook it.' 'It's not a ready cooked product,' a third explained. 'She bought it from the RAW MEAT section, didn't bother to read the packaging and just dug in. 'The top of the packaging literally says 'NEEDS COOKING' and there's detailed cooking instructions on the back.' In a follow-up video, Gizelle realised her error thanks to comments from viewers. 'You literally just changed my life in like two seconds with one comment,' she said in reply to a message clarifying that the chicken needed to be fully cooked in the oven. M&S's breaded chicken range can be found in the raw meat section and each package has detailed instructions on how to cook it in the air fryer or oven However, Gizelle was still unhappy with the popular M&S product, explaining that the chicken already looks cooked thanks to its breaded exterior. 'This is the chicken that I was telling you guys was making me sick - why does it say 'needs cooking'?' she asked. 'Why does the chicken look like this, why do I have to cook it? Now I have more problems with the UK.' She added in her caption: 'Proof one should never assume. Why did I go to get the chicken and it looks like my husband had some too! Lol! Hopefully he read the box.' British TikTok users were largely unimpressed by Gizelle's complaint, but a few attempted to explain why the chicken is sold already breaded and partially cooked. 'They sell it pre-breaded so you can cook and eat it fresh,' one person said. 'We all know pre-cooked chicken is dry as hell. 'Unless it says 'ready to eat' on packaging, assume you need to cook it.' Another added: 'Just because it's breaded doesn't mean it's cooked, friend! Also it's a requirement to shelve cooked and uncooked meats on different sections in a shop to avoid confusion, so you would've had to have bought it from the aisle/shelving units containing other raw meats.' British viewers were quick to inform Gizelle that she was meant to cook the chicken before eating it, and it was revealed she thought it only had to be heated Some people explained why the chicken looked cooked but needed to be put in the oven at home, while others bluntly told the American creator of her error Others were less sympathetic to her grievance, to put it mildly. 'Why does it say 'needs cooking'... That'll be because it needs cooking. Hope this helped,' a commenter wrote. 'This is entirely on you, darling,' another said, while a third added that this was 'the definition of user error'. 'Why don't you read the label? Sis please,' one person commented, to which Gizelle replied: 'Girl, I assumed.' M&S's breaded chicken range, which is stocked in the raw meat section in-store, includes cooking instructions to either air fry or oven cook the product at high temperatures to ensure it's cooked all the way through before eating. The range also includes flavours such as Hot Honey Chicken Tenders, Korean Chicken Bites, Buttermilk Chicken Tenders, Mighty Cajun Chicken Tenders, and Tempura Chicken Tenders.

American woman who moved to UK left stunned by 'missing' thing in British supermarkets
The expat didn't mince words when she spoke about the stark difference between US and UK retailers An American expat has candidly shared the elements of British life that have left her gobsmacked, including the significant differences she experiences in everyday situations compared to the US – with one particular aspect of supermarket shopping taking her by surprise. It's often said you don't know what you've got until it's gone - this rings true for those who venture on extended holidays or relocate abroad, suddenly yearning for the comforts of home. Gizelle Cade, an American who upped sticks and settled in Manchester, is shedding light on her adjustments to life across the pond. Her experiences are unfurled on her TikTok account, @gizellecade, where a following of over 30,000 eagerly seize glimpses into her life in the UK. A recent outburst centred around a specific gripe: whilst grabbing a brew from Black Sheep, Gizelle subsequently wandered into a Tesco and was confronted with an all-too-common theme. Expressing her perplexity in the video caption, Gizelle mused: "Where are the UK cashiers? Why are you guys anti-cash?" Working remotely but also juggling her studies at university, Gizelle didn't mince words: "One thing about the UK, they are not going to hire people to manage registers I tell you. Everything is do it yourself. You go to the coffee shop, there is registers, do it yourself. Do you take cash? Nope do it yourself," reports the Mirror. Further explorations in cities like Liverpool and London only compounded Gizelle's observations, as she exclaimed: "Can you help bag my groceries? Nope do it yourself. "You're going to go to the grocery stores and see exactly what I'm talking about. Everything is do it yourself. Where are the cashiers at the registers?" One Brit asserted: "Yeah thank god. I don't want people to help me." "As someone with social anxiety, I actually love it," shared another. Another British voice weighed in: "To be fair we've never had people to bag our shopping or help us take it to car, always had to do it ourselves and as country we've never liked idle chit chat. "I don't wanna talk to someone I just want my coffee or meal, also why don't have a tipping culture because I find waiters/waitresses who leave me alone to be the best ones, in America they kept coming over asking if I wanted water." Adding a tip for Gizelle on where assistance can be found, someone mentioned: "The only place in the UK that bags your shopping for you is Iceland, but only if you've got delivery, they bag it and load it in the van to deliver it to your door so you don't have to take it home." A Brit recently back from the States remarked: "Just landed in the US and honestly I felt so uncomfortable watching someone pack my shopping. They also do it so weird, why you giving me only eggs in one bag, fill that bag up girl!" One nostalgic commenter noted: "Someone packing my shopping for me is so 90s. We lost that luxury a whole millennium ago." An observer with experience of both cultures stated: "I've lived in both the US and the UK. There is something about the expectation America to be made to feel important that doesn't exist in other countries." In another clip, Gizelle pointed out that people park their cars in different directions near a pavement, claiming this is something you would "never see this in the USA".
