I cannot wait !
I'm hungry...
Hi everyone, what's up? I hope you're all doing good!
I'm Yoann, and you're on my channel: my life in the USA
- If you don't know us yet, I'm Yoann! - I'm Andréa
-I'm French -I'm American
We met back in the States where I lived for a few years
Now we're back in France, where we live together in Paris.
But we still want to introduce you to American things
or for instance
today we're going to try American food that we found here in Paris
from the store Lidl (discount store similar to Aldi)
It was requested in the comments
that we try their special "American week"
We have already tried the American food from Picard (frozen food store)
and Mcdonald's
- Mcdonald's had a special street food - New York
Yes! New York Street food
And Picard was "Hello America"
All the links are in the description box
Or you can click here, right above her head
to watch those videos
so today we're going to try the American food from Lidl
We changed the concept a little bit
Andrea who's our American representative
is going to be blindfolded
we're going to put the scarf on her eyes
she's going to smell the food
Try to guess what it is and then taste to recognize the food
She'll try and judge
I'll try as well and judge the taste
And we'll tell you honestly, if the food taste like legit American food or not
Let's do it ! Put on the scarf
Let's do the usual test
well...My eyes are closed
Let's start with the first item
She doesn't know if it's going to be sweet or savory, I didn't tell her anything
I'm showing you the box
So you're going to smell first
- Am I close to it? - Yes it's right there
-What do you smell? - I think
- meat...? Stop laughing
is it on a fork?
no I'm holding it
- Bite it - I already know! - Bite!
fried Onion in bread-crumbs
so...
it's good !
The thing with onion rings
you're always looking for a cripsy one
I suppose you didn't fry them
So, to tell you everything, I followed
all the instructions
it was frozen and they said "heat it in the oven"
when you buy them, they are usually fried
so it's crispy, but here they are a little bit soft
but it's not that soft
- Do you want another bite? - Yes! - There you go
you can hold it with your hands!
You're blind, you're not without arms !
What you want with an onion ring is that when you bite it
that the whole onion doesn't come out
and it doesn't here
so for that reason it's good. The taste is good
it's authentic
2nd item
open your mouth
bite
I know !
In French they call that...
really?
explain
It's the pepper
which is in bread-crumbs
fried again
there is some cheese...
it's like a stuff pepper
- it's spicy - It's not that spicy, it's because you're French
Honestly they are super good !
What do you think?
To me it's good
The taste is good
Next item
let me show you
go ahead
- What is it? - Mozzarella stick
It's not amazing
again, it's not crispy
But even in the U.S. when you buy the mozzarella sticks
and you make them at home, it's never
the same as in a restaurant
But it's good for a snack before dinner
To give you more info
those 3 items, were together in a box called "American Style snack box"
All together
I'm very disappointed, you'll see why
On the box you can see a cardboard box
with the items
like it's a box that comes with it
but inside, everything was just in bags
so I had to put everything on a plate, there isn't the box actually
it might be silly, but I was disappointed
I thought it was very American to have the container
to carry them after it's cooked
even if this box could be opened to contain the food
it could have been better presentation wise
Next item ! Let me show you the box
there you go
Let's try !
I'll let you smell
meat...
meat.... Grill ...?
be careful
What are you doing?
- what are you doing? - it's the rest
-So..? - So it's a hot dog
bread: not good at all
it's hard, it tastes like frozen bread
the sausage ... is ok
it's a little bit like rubber
- *rubbered* - We say rubbery
- rubb... what? - Rubbery
the sauce is good, I don't know exactly what's in it
the hot dog we had at Picard was way better
it's the bread actually
if you've seen our other videos
we tried the hot dog at Picard, the hot dog at Mcdonald's
and now Lidl ..
I have to say that for the presentation
it looks like what's on the box
but it's true that the taste is ... so so
the bread is very hard
Next time, let me show you
it's sweet, cinnamon
taste
I have no idea what it is ...
what do you taste?
cinnamon, sugar
it's a flavor I know
I was going say that here, we're judging the American authenticity
they sell it as an American food item
- it makes me think of a poptart - ah true !
- I know the flavor ! - Go ahead !
it's apple
it's the flavor of a *apple fake*
it's artificial...
oh, yeah... a fake apple
They call that ...
Do you have something called country cookies in the States ?
not that I know of
they are so many brands and names
not a famous brand
Next item
There were so many choices, sweet and salty
I didn't buy everything, I just bought a few things
are you ready ? I am
I haven't showed you! so it was like that in a pretty bad packaging
chocolate
-a muffin ? - Yes! - I don't like it
- is it chocolate? - it is
-What do you think? - Once again, it tastes like very industrial
and it was in the American section?
it was
there is an American flag on it
it's sold like an American muffin, because in France we also have muffins in the supermarket
but here it's sold like an American one
It makes me think of something you get for free
not a great quality
We're trying now our list item. I also wrote the name of what it is
I know there is an equivalence in the States
So I want to have Andrea's opinion.Open your mouth
is it a reese's ?
they call that...
So in the States we have...
chocolate filled with peanut butter
honestly it's not bad
does it taste like the one in the States?
Reese's cups in the States have the peanut butter
in the middle
with a particular texture
a little bit more ...
sandy ...
grainy
but this one is smoother
it's not bad at all !
for a off-brand, it's not bad at all
do you want to take off the blindfold
Welcome back among us !
the light !!
And this is what the box was
Snack box, but actually you don't have it
it's too bad
So there we go !
I hope you enjoyed our commentaries and our tests of those American food items
We can say that
for the onion rings, the cheese things, and the mozarrella sticks
it was good !
it looks like
what you can find as frozen food in the States
the hot dogs... frozen hot dogs...
even in the States, frozen hot dogs...
- But we likes the one at Picard ! - That's true
The country cookies are good
they say it's American but it's not a thing
not a thing I thought: omg it's so good I've never tried that
they could have done like in the States
poptarts looking like that, but very different flavors
But Lidl, for the price it was very good!
for all of that, I paid ....
12 / 13€
yeah not bad
not too expensive
I hope you liked this video, if you did, give it a big thumbs up!
write in the comments if you want us to try other things, if you have ideas
we love trying new things and give you our opinion
Go ahead in the comments !
And we'll see you next time on my channel, my life in the USA! Bye !
