American man tries Full English breakfast for the first time and says one item'left him gagging'
An American man living in the UK has left Britons furious after he delivered his scathing review of a full English breakfast. Kjordy, who lives in London, has spent the last four years acclimatising to British culture, including picking up English slang and sampling some of the nation's delicacies. For his most recent gastronomical adventure, the TikToker - who describes himself as a 'mere Yank amongst Brits' - took a stab at recreating and reviewing a full English breakfast. 'About a month ago, I attempted beans on toast, and safe to say, well it could have been better,' he said in the TikTok. 'And now, I'm on a quest to perfect the next British cuisine. And after a little consultation with the most British person I know, it's time for a full English breakfast.' The influencer explained he was going to recreate the classic combination of bacon, sausage, eggs, roasted tomato, hash browns, toast, Heinz beans, and 'against my will', black pudding. His final verdict on the meal - a measly 6.5 on 10 - left many on home turf enraged as they called Kjordy out for missing staple ingredients and even leaving some parts of the food 'raw'. During his recent venture into learning more about British food, the TikToker, a self-described 'mere Yank amongst Brits', had a stab at recreating and reviewing a full-English breakfast (pictured) In the video, Kjordy bakes a pair of hash browns before cracking eggs into an oily pan. He then cooks Taste the Difference caramalised onion sausages from Sainsbury's. Next, he fried two rashers of bacon, toasted white bread, and seared tomatoes in a pan. Plating up the breakfast, Kjordy noted 'this is a lot of damn food' before tucking in. Sampling a mouthful of each of the meal's components, a pensive Kjordy nodded approvingly before delivering his review of the meal 'I see why this is so popular,' he said. 'The egg with the beans, the sausage, very heavy but very savoury.' There was, however, one ingredient Kjordy couldn't stomach - as he was immediately put off by the black pudding. Rallying himself to try the blood-based delicacy, the TikToker directed the wheel of meat towards his mouth, tearing off a nibble before taking a full bite. But it clearly wasn't love at first bite, as he appeared to gag at the taste and immediately spat out the meat morsel. 'F**k no,' he exclaimed before dashing to the sink to swill his mouth with water. There was also one thing missing according to the creator, who complained the dish was lacking 'something sweet' in a nod to his Yankee roots. 'The one thing it is missing [is] something sweet,' he said. 'There's no better combo than sweet and savoury, so having a little syrupy pancake with a bacon is... mm.' 'My final review, it's really, really good. 'I don't know how I feel about the beans and tomato with it,' he said before going on to award a fraction above average score of six and a half out of ten. Several British viewers bristled with rage, with dozens flooding the comment section with criticism. 'Black pudding isn't even that bad,' one furious commenter wrote, with another remarking that it 'needed cooking a lot more'. Many suggested that the black pudding was 'raw' and needed longer in the frying pan. One person noted: 'Black pudding is just a lovely sausage! 'Slice, fry and eat…..if you didn't know it had blood you might have found it easier to eat. 'I think the 'blood' aspect has you hating it before it reached your taste buds.' 'The one British thing I will defend is a full English,' another said. Others pointed to things Kjordy missed, with several calling for mushrooms, and others recommending he 'butter the toast' and add a squirt of HP brown sauce 'for sweetness'. 'Ketchup or HP sauce adds something sweet. I like tinned tomatoes with mine as the acidicness of the tomatoes helps contrast the grease of everything else,' they commented. One well-meaning Brit suggested the sweetness could be made up for with a 'a strong sweet cup of tea'.

American makes full English for the first time but 'one thing is missing'
An American living in London decided to put British cuisine to the test by making himself a full English breakfast for the first time, but he quickly argued that one thing was lacking An American has given his honest verdict after trying to make his own full English breakfast for the first time, but he argued that one element was 'missing' from the popular meal. Kjordy, from the US, has been living in the UK for the past four years. But even though he's spent multiple years living this side of the pond, he's still introduced to new parts of British culture on a daily basis, from new slang words that he's never heard before to new foods he's yet to try. Because of this, he decided to take on one of the most popular meals in the country. "About a month ago, I attempted beans on toast, and safe to say, well it could have been better," he said in a TikTok video. "And now, I'm on a quest to perfect the next British cuisine. And after a little consultation with the most British person I know, it's time for a full English breakfast. "Everybody has their different ways of making it, but today we're putting in bacon, sausage, eggs, roasted tomato, hash browns, toast, Heinz beans, and against my own will, black pudding. Let's get it," he said before he started cooking. He was seen preheating his oven before cracking his eggs into a pan on the hob to fry. He then placed a tray with two hash browns into the oven Using the same pan he used for the eggs, he went on to cook the sausages and the bacon rashers. Meanwhile he put the bread in the toaster before microwaving his beans in a bowl. The final step was to fry the halved tomatoes. "Alrighty man, food is ready. This is a lot of d**n food," he said, showing his plate which had been filled with the breakfast foods. After having made sure to have tasted everything on the plate, except for the black pudding, he said: "I see why this is so popular. The egg with the beans, the sausage, very heavy but very savoury. "The one thing it is missing [is] something sweet," he criticised. "There's no better combo than sweet and savoury, so having a little syrupy pancake with a bacon is... mm. "I think it's time I man up and try this damn blood pudding," he said before smelling and taking a bite out of it. However, after gagging because of the flavour, he said: "F**k no." "My final review, it's really, really good. I don't know how I feel about the beans and tomato with it," he said before giving it a score of six and a half out of ten. Brits quickly flocked to the comment section to share their tips and tricks for how to make the full English more enjoyable. "You didn't butter the toast," one person criticised, while another viewer wanted to make sure that he actually cooked the black pudding. "Good try. Swap the black pudding for fried mushrooms," another person recommended, while a fourth viewer said: "If you didn't cram a bit of each food on one fork full then you haven't eaten a full English. Dip that fork full in HP, you're at a 10/10." "Solid mate. Tomatoes and black pudding not an essential for me. Keep with the stuff you enjoy!" another person said. Instead of adding pancakes, like Kjordy wanted, another viewer said: "Ketchup or hp sauce adds something sweet. I like tinned tomatoes with mine as the acidicness of the tomatoes helps contrast the grease of everything else." "Jam on the toast for sweet can help too. But I'm weird and like jam and buttered toast with egg," another person recommended.
