00:02 - We live in America and we have
- Hello, this is Jack from lived in Spain. Now let's make this
tofluency.com very relevant--

00:04 01:23

and today we're going to have a - Okay. - To what we're doing,

conversation in English about food. because tonight we're going to have
some friends over for dinner. And you
00:11 had some questions for me.
- One of my favorite topics. 01:32
00:13 - Yes, so, as is pretty common, at least
- Yeah, one of Kate's favorite topics. where we live, people have different
So the idea behind these dietary restrictions.
conversations is to give you exposure 01:42
to real English, but then also to teach
you some phrases at the same time. - Yeah.

So we'll teach a little bit of the 01:43

vocabulary and phrases that we use in - So for example, there's certain things
the video. But to really learn them, go that they eat or certain things that they
to the description, and then go over to don't eat. The friends that we're
the website where I'm going to leave a having over for dinner tonight, one of
list of key phrases from this lesson. So them only eats chicken and seafood.
you'll be able to go through it, read it, 01:58
see the examples, get an explanation,
et cetera. - Well, a better way to say that is, so,
just in my head, she only eats chicken.
So today you're going to learn a lot
about food. 02:05
I'm going to approach this by talking (softly laughs)
about traditional meals, and food in 02:06

But that's it, and seafood.
States, and Spain.
02:08
Because I'm from the UK.
01:14
- Okay, let me rephrase that, let me - And some people have a condition
see if this is what you're thinking called Celiac's that prevents them,
about. She doesn't eat red meat. they have really severe reactions to
02:15 gluten. And other people, it's more of
a preference. Some people are dairy-
- Yeah. free, so they don't eat dairy products.
02:16 People can also be vegan, so they
- Or pork. don't eat any animal products, and just
a variety of different things.
02:18
So basically, we are trying to think--
- Right, is pork red meat?
03:27
02:20
- This is our task. - This is our debate.
- I think that pork is technically white
So we're trying to see, so our friend

eats chicken for sure, so I was trynna
02:24 think of a chicken-based dish that
- All right. Well, so, yeah, so that's a would be a little bit more exciting.

example, where somebody doesn't eat chicken that was stuffed with spinach
red meat. Now what are some of the and cheese? Or chicken in a rich

Nashville?
Or just like roasted with vegetables
02:39 and like a glaze on top?
- Sure, so a lot of people are gluten- So that's what we're trynna decide

products that have gluten in it.
03:57
02:49
- There's a lot of new vocabulary
- Like breads, and obvious, no bread, there.
no pasta.
03:59
02:53
(softly laughs)
- Yup.
04:00
02:54
Like to stuff chicken-- - Uh-huh,
- No... A lot of pastries. yeah.
02:59 04:02
- Which means put something inside it - Yeah. - Or the main dish. There are
- Inside it. so many words and phrases when it
04:05 comes to cooking and food.

- So another example of that is stuffed 04:53

pepper. - Yes.
04:07 04:54
- [Kate] Yeah. - And we'd learned that while living in
04:08 Spain. There's so much to learn in
this. So hopefully, this lesson is going
- Where you get a pepper, and to help you with that.
normally cheese or rice, maybe?
05:02
04:13
- Yeah.
- Cheese, rice, breadcrumbs, so you
could also do that with mushrooms. 05:03

04:22 - So, okay, so we are cooking a meal

tonight. There's a main dish, and then
- And then a glaze, how would you side dishes too.
describe that?
05:12
04:26
- Yes.
- A glaze is like kind of a rich, thick
sauce. 05:13

04:31 - So what are we going to do for

sides?
- Yeah, and you brush it on.
05:15
04:35
- For side dishes, so it depends on
- Like so. - Brush on a glaze. which main dish we choose.
04:36 05:20
- Brush on, yeah. - Right.
04:38 05:21
- So yeah, we're trying to, and you - So if we have, for example, a
said a dish as well. So a dish is part of chicken that's roasted with vegetables,
a meal, isn't it? that can kind of be part of our side
04:44 dishes. If not, we're probably gonna
wanna do vegetables, salad.
05:34
- Potatoes. - Let's start with breakfast.
05:35 06:05
- Potatoes, for example. - Okay.
05:38 06:06
- And maybe mashed potatoes. - What is something that people have
05:41 for breakfast in the UK?

- Mashed potatoes are delicious. Do you remember, or do you know

this?
05:43
06:12
- Yeah.
- So, what immediately comes to
05:44 mind is the famous full English
- But they're more delicious when breakfast.
they're the least healthy. 06:18
05:49 - Yeah.
- Or-- 06:19
05:50 - Right? - Yeah.
- More butter is more delicious. 06:20
05:52 - That would be the traditional, and so
- Yeah, aw, yeah. - With mashed you would have beans.
potatoes, and many things. 06:25
05:55 - Yep.
- We're not gonna talk too much about 06:26
what's healthy and what's not.
- Toast, a specific kind of bacon.
05:58
06:33
- No.
- Yep.
05:59
06:34
- We're just going to have a good talk
about traditional meals. - Roasted tomatoes, and eggs?

06:03 06:38

- Yes. - Yeah.

06:04 06:39
- Is that everything? - And in America, you don't really do
06:40 that style.

- More or less, yeah. You could also 07:19

have things like... - Not really.
What's it called again? 07:20
06:47 - Normally, you put pork in there. But
- Roasted mushrooms. - Black they're a little bit different, so just
pudding, which is like blood sausage. baked beans in a tomato sauce.

06:50 Now there's a debate here.

- Oh. 07:29

06:51 - Go on.

- I love them. 07:30

06:53 - When you make beans on toast, and

the preposition is on toast--
Or mushrooms, yeah.
07:37
06:55
- Okay, on toast.
What is a light version of that that I
used to have most mornings? 07:38

07:02 - But, you put your toast here on your

plate and then people either put the
- Beans and toast. beans right on top, or on the side.
07:03 07:45
- Beans on toast. - Oh.
07:05 07:46
- Beans on toast. - Which would you do?
07:05 07:47
- Now, there's a debate about beans on - Side, 100%. - Yeah, me too.
toast, and what we're talking about
here is toast with butter on, normally, 07:48
and then baked beans. - Yeah, I mean sometimes I like it
07:13 when different flavors kind of come
together, and intermingle, but to me,
- Yes. the integrity of the toast, the toast not
07:14 being soggy.
08:05 08:59
- Soggy, that's a good word. - Marmite, Marmite. Let's move on, I
08:07 hate it.

- Yeah, you don't want it to be soggy, 09:04

you want it to be crunchy and dry, is - You do?
important. - And soggy means wet in 09:05
this example, yeah. - Yeah, wet and
mushy. - Well, yeah, so they brand it as either
you love it or hate it.
08:16
So they actually know this, and then
- Mushy, yeah, it loses its texture. they make commercials based on this.
Yeah, so I, beans on one side of the
plate, toast on the other, try not to So they'll take a situation and say you
touch. either love it or hate it, like Marmite.
08:27 09:20
- Yeah. - Like Marmite, okay. _ You like it,
don't you?
08:28
09:22
- And then take your toast, usually
with your fingers, your hands, put the - I like it in, I wouldn't even say in
right amount of beans on for that bite moderation. I would say I like it a tiny
and then take that bite. - For that bite, bit of it.
yeah. 09:31
08:40 - Yeah.
I do like choosing the perfect bite, no 09:32
matter what I'm eating, the perfect
- Almost not enough to really taste it.
amount of things.
Sometimes I feel that way about really
08:46
strong cheese, too.
- Yeah. Other things British people
09:41
have in the morning are cereal, toast,
just toast. - Oh, I love strong cheese.
08:57 09:42
Go on. - Yeah, I do too, in moderation. - In
moderation.
08:57
09:47
- Marmite.
- I don't like to have a big bite of it.
I like to have a little bit of it with - So we tend to have... It's hard to
other things. think about exactly what's the most
09:52 traditional.

- Yeah, I understand that. 10:41

Yeah, that's a little bit like a strong - It is.

sauce or a spicy sauce at the same 10:42
time. - But we often have baked foods.
10:01 10:44
- Like hot sauce. So pancakes, waffles, muffins.
10:02 10:47
- Hot sauce, or horseradish. - You have dessert for breakfast.
10:05 That's what I wanna say.
(upbeat music) You have dessert for breakfast.
10:08 10:52
What is a typical American breakfast? - Okay. - All this maple syrup.
10:11 10:55
- So, we have many of the same - Yes, uh-huh. - All over it, like
breakfast foods. Beans are not very blueberry muffins.
popular as a breakfast food at all.
10:59
10:20
- Yes.
- No. - I'm not sure if anybody has it. -
At barbecue restaurants-- 11:00
10:23 - Or pancake with lots of maple syrup.
- Yeah. We have pancakes one day a year.
10:24 11:04
- That's a very popular side dish. - On Pancake Day?
10:26 11:05
- Uh-huh. - But not-- - On Pancake Day. That's when we
have pancakes.
10:27
But yeah, it amazes me.
- But not a breakfast food. - No.
11:12
10:30
- Yeah. flakey and cakey, and frosted, so it
11:13 kind of melts in your mouth, or it's
going to be what I think of as the
- You'll have donuts for breakfast. more traditional, kind of cider donuts,
When I'm saying you, this is like a so they're a little bit thicker, and more
general-- fried kind of tasting, and chewy.
11:19 12:13
- Americans, yeah. - Yeah. It - Right, yeah.
astonishes me. 12:14
11:25 - I have a preference, a clear favorite,
- Yeah, donuts, to me, are kind of the I like the traditional, thick cider
ideal breakfast food. donuts, especially with fresh-pressed
11:29 apple cider, more than the glazed
kind.
- They're the worst.
You don't like donuts at all, but if you
11:30
had to choose, which would you
- So good. prefer?
11:31 12:34
- I've never liked donuts. - Probably the cider ones.
11:33 12:37
- Really? - Good choice. - I have no idea what
11:34 they taste like.
- Yeah, I remember when I was 12:39
younger, I used to have one and enjoy - Really?
it. But for me, I just don't like donuts.
12:40
11:42
- Well, no.
- So there's two different kind of
12:41
styles of donuts.
- Okay, I'm gonna take you to a cider
11:47
orchard and you're gonna try it--
- Right.
12:46
11:48
- Oh, I've had those.
- Okay, so you have your donut, and
12:47
it, to me, it's either gonna be kind of
- Yeah! That's usually like I need a little bit of
12:48 fuel to get me going, a little bit of
caffeination.
- When we went to the cider orchard.
But I like either fresh fruit, or I like
12:50 pancakes, specifically buttermilk
- Yeah. pancakes with some syrup and maybe
bacon. - You say buttermilk,
12:51
13:50
- This is where they grow apples, and
just a little thing about cider. So if you I don't really know what a buttermilk
say cider in the UK, it means is.
alcoholic. 13:53
12:58 - Buttermilk is? - Yeah.
- Yes. 13:53
12:59 - Okay, so buttermilk is, it's milk
- But you say hard cider. that's kind of like a little bit, it's more
like-- - Creamier.
13:01
14:01
- Yeah, we would say hard cider and
it's not, I don't think it's as popular-- - It's creamier, it's a little bit more
sour. It's almost like yogurt or sour
13:06
cream. It's kind of like halfway to
- No. yogurt or sour cream. It's a little
13:07 thicker.
- As the fresh cider. - It's getting more 14:13
popular. So, but for me, my perfect - I think it's a important thing to say as
breakfast is bacon and eggs. well that when my mum comes to
What for you, chocolate? visit, she can't understand menus here.
13:19 14:22
- You know when-- - And coffee? - Yeah.
13:23 14:23
- Yeah. - She doesn't know what things are.
13:24 So if you feel overwhelmed by this
language, know that you're not alone.
I do like chocolate and coffee.
14:30
- No. And all of those different cuisines,
14:31 different styles of cooking come with
their own vocabulary.
- And that a native English speaker
can come to America and just get 15:41
really confused, and I was, at first, as - Yeah, yeah. That makes sense.
well. - Yeah. And then just certain things are
14:38 different, like fries, chips, I made a
- I was at first. lesson on this.

14:40 15:53

- One thing to say about the United - Yes.

States and about our cuisine, our 15:54
language, a lot of different things is - I'll leave it in the description. I feel
that we are, in many ways, a melting where things overlap the most are at
pot. lunchtime.
14:56 16:02
- Explain that. - Sandwiches? - Sandwiches.
14:57 16:04
- So people come from different - Sandwiches.
countries and different cultures, and
people come, and they become 16:05
American. - We don't really eat sandwiches.
And at the same time, they bring a 16:07
little bit of their culture, and it all kind
- Really?
of blends together.
16:08
15:15
- When was the last time you had a
- Yeah.
sandwich?
15:16
16:10
- So in a town, in a small city or a
- Oh, like we eat them together?
large town, you'll probably be able to
get Japanese sushi, you'll be able to 16:11
get Mexican food, you'll be able to get - For lunch.
Indian food, Chinese food.
16:12
- Yeah, we haven't had sandwiches in So that's like a, yeah, Lancashire
a while. cheese and sour cream. - You can't
16:14 really find it.

- Yeah, 'cause we don't really eat 16:55

bread, so that's probably the reason - Earth Fare have it. - You have to go
why. out of your way to find it a little bit. -
16:19 Earth Fare have it.

- Yeah, bread is kind of essential to 16:59

make a sandwich, yeah. - True.
16:24 17:01
- But at school, I used to always have - Lancashire cheese and salad cream,
a sandwich. or tuna, or tuna and salad cream
My favorites were, we can talk about sandwiches. Those were the two main
favorite types of sandwiches. ones I had, but most people have like
sliced turkey, or sliced ham, sliced
16:32 chicken.
- Ooh, yeah. 17:17
16:33 - Yeah, we say deli meat.
- Lancashire cheese and salad cream. 17:19
16:37 - Deli meat.
- Yes, we have neither Lancashire 17:22
cheese, nor would we think of putting
salad cream. See, there's so many differences. We
wouldn't say deli meat.
Salad cream is a British thing, it's like
a sweet mayonnaise. 17:25

16:46 - No.

- Yeah. 17:26

16:47 - And then, the best sandwich I think

is a BLT.
- We don't have it.
17:33
16:48
- Yes, BLTs are good. - Bacon,
- No, but you can find it. lettuce, tomato, with avocado or
16:51 without for you?
17:40
- Oh, always avocado. 18:25
17:42 - Well, I also remember, we were in a
- Yeah, with. - Yeah. car, and you said PB&J, and I said,
"What's that?" And you couldn't
17:43 believe it.
- The cream, the creaminess of it in 18:33
addition to everything else. - Yeah,
delicious. - I know.

17:50 18:34

- Yeah, it's the best sandwich. Other - And you were with a friend.
lunch items that people usually have 18:36
is a salad, very simple. - Yeah.
17:58 18:37
- Yup. - Won't say names, but you know,
17:59 with a friend, and she just couldn't
- Lots of variations of salads, but we believe it either. And you gave me
won't go into every one. clues and I finally got it.

18:03 18:45

- Nope. - Yeah.

18:04 18:46

- Anything else? Sandwiches, salads, - So, PB&J. It's a little quiz time, do
soup? you know what that means? It's
peanut butter and jelly. The average
18:06 American eats 1500, 1500, PB&J
- So, I think that we might have sandwiches by the time they're 18.
touched on this before, but the most The average American.

18:16 - Just leave that there. - And so there
- Oh, yeah. are certain
18:17 Americans who don't eat those which
means that some Americans probably

you when you first heard about it, you
were shocked, you didn't understand 19:16

19:26 - Yup.
- Wow, that seems high. 20:22
19:28 - Or hotdogs, that was it, really.
- 3600, I know, that's my point. 20:25
19:31 - Yeah, that sounds about right.
- Where are you getting the statistics? 20:27
19:34 - I used to, I did it a little bit when I
- Wikipedia, I will fact-check this. first, Carl and I used to do it at the end
Which means I will make sure this is of primary school, or 10, 11, and then

a pinned comment with a link to the is 11, 12, and I remember they had
source, but it's astonishing if true. salad bars and stuff like that, and I
can't remember what I got.
19:49
20:45
- If true, to me it just, that is what kids
eat. But mainly, my parents packed me
sandwiches.
19:55
20:48
- Did you ever have school dinner, or
school lunches? - Yeah. - Yeah.

19:59 So, used to have sandwiches. I just

wanna ask you a quick question
- Yes. before we talk about dinners-- - Go
20:00 on.
- Were they any good? 20:57
20:01 - And restaurants, if you could only
eat one meal for the rest of your life,
- No, not great. They tend to be really
what would it be?
full of carbs, like pasta.
21:03
Usually, there's just something a little
bit unappetizing about them. - Oh, man, I kind of thought that this
question might be coming.
20:18
And, can I cheat?
Can I say Indian buffet? - Mushrooms, okay. - Chili seasoning,
21:15 like a tomato sauce, tomato paste, and
then, maybe like Worcestershire
- Yeah. sauce. I made a video on that.
21:16 22:00
- Yeah, that's my favorite-- - Yeah.
21:17 22:01
- Yeah, that's-- - Yeah, that's what I'd make, but an
21:18 Indian buffet, we love a good Indian
buffet.
- Thing, ever.
22:06
21:19
- Yeah. - Even an average one.
- I won't cheat, and I'll say...
22:08
Probably a chili.
- Yeah, I love curry, I love spicy
21:26
curry. I love a variety of curry, and it's
- A chili? a lot of Indian restaurants, during the
21:27 lunch hour, they'll have an open buffet
where you can just get a variety of
- Yeah, I could just eat chili all day, different things and then come back,
everyday. and I like it because you get to go and
21:32 figure out which are your favorites,
- Do you like it spicy or not so spicy? and then you get to go back and have
So, chili with beans or without beans? more.
21:38 22:34
- Without beans. - You're a two-plater.
21:39 22:36
- Without beans, but with ground - Mm-hm.
beef, tomato sauce-- - Yeah, yep. 22:37
21:43 - I'm a three-plater.
- Chili seasoning-- - Mushrooms, 22:38
probably. - Yeah.
21:45 I occasionally am I three-plater, too,
or you know-- - That's usually dessert.
22:43 23:45
- Yeah. - Such a good meal, so that is very
22:44 traditional on a Sunday. And
normally, it's anytime between 12 and
(upbeat music) 6 you have it, but you don't really
22:46 stick to the traditional times. So you
might have it at four o'clock instead.
- Dinner, I'm gonna start by saying a

Sunday roast.
24:10
22:53
- That seems pretty comparable.
- Yes.
I would say that, so everyone talks

about Thanksgiving dinner, and what
- And I grew up having a Sunday I realized, the more time that we spent

23:08 every week.
- Yeah. 24:32
23:09 - Yeah.
- It is excellent. 24:33
23:10 - That's the Sunday roast.
The home cooking, the shepherd's 24:34
pies, the hot pots. - It's the king of dinners.
A lot of traditional dinners in the UK 24:35
will be a meat and two veg, and that's
- Yeah.
pretty standard for every day of the

extra special because you get roasted - It's the best.

But also, the instant pot.
25:04
25:55
- Oh, yeah, that's more of a British
expression. - Yes, we have a pressure cooker that
cooks everything faster.
25:07
26:03
- Oh, is it?
- Yeah, a lot faster.
I don't know what's British and
American anymore. 26:05
25:12 - Yeah, it's really good for recipes that
