Ham, pineapple, tomato and bacon.

The grease.
7
11100
780
00:12
It's just like...
8
12900
720
00:13
just makes it taste so much better, I guess.
9
13620
1800
00:15
I won't do it today,
10
15420
840
00:16
mainly when I'm really hungover.
11
16260
1260
00:17
I didn't realise there needed to be an occasion.
12
17520
2460
00:19
Anytime is a good occasion for me.
13
19980

00:23

Hiya, welcome to Easy English.
16
26280
2580
00:28
So today, I want to know what  junk food typical Brits eat.
17
28860
4080
00:32
Now junk food, or comfort food,
18
32940
2520
00:35
or if you're on a diet, a 'cheat meal',
19
35460
2280
00:37
is knowingly bad or unhealthy food
20
37740
2700
00:40
that you eat to make yourself feel better.
21
40440
2460
00:42
Whether your sad, hungover  or just feeling a bit lazy,
22
42900
3840
00:46
this is the food to help get you through the day.
23
46740
2460
00:49
So without further ado,
24
49200
1440
00:50
let's find out what junk food typical Brits eat.

28
57780
1140
00:58
What is your go-to junk food?
29
58920
2700
01:01
Probably a Five Guys,
30
61620
1680
01:03
mainly because of the peanut butter milkshake,
31
63300
2340
01:05
if I'm honest. - Oh reall...
32
65640
1560
01:07
peanut butter milkshake? - Yeah. - Oh my God.
33
67200
1920
01:09
I would definitely recommend fish and chips.
34
69120
1860
01:11
McDonald's.
35
71700
540
01:12
Burger King.
36
72240
1620
01:13
Or like, Domino's.
37
73860
2520
01:16
Do you eat comfort food or do you eat junk food?
38
76980
2220
01:19
Usually not.
39
79200
780
01:19
But yesterday, I ate fish and fries.
40
79980
3420
01:23
My junk food of choice is without doubt a pizza.
41
83400
3900
01:27
Pizza? - Pizza.
42
87300
960
01:28
Is there a specific brand of pizza that you like?
43
88260
3300
01:32
A local pizza house or something?
44
92700
1920
01:34
Yeah er... God, where do I...
45
94620
3060
01:37
Fatto a Mano is very good. - Good shout.
46
97680
2520
01:40
Which is a local one here in Brighton.
47
100200
1320
01:41
I'm a big fan of that as well.
48
101520
1380
01:42
Tell me, what is your favourite junk food?
49
102900
3720
01:46
Oh, my favourite junk food  in Germany is Thai food.
50
106620
5520
01:52
It's always fresh and really, really delicious.
51
112140
4860
01:57
What is your kind of, go-to  comfort food or junk...
52
117000
5220
02:02
Papa John's ham and pineapple pizza,
53
122220
2820
02:05
with bacon and tomatoes,
54
125040
2340
02:07
with stuffed crust.
55
127380
1380
02:08
So specific. - Yeah, every time.
56
128760
2940
02:11
And, how did you come across  this peanut butter milkshake?
57
131700
3600
02:15
I remember when I was going to college,
58
135300
1860
02:17
I'd buy these little boxes of like,
59
137160
1740
02:18
peanut punch milkshakes from  the corner shop. - Yeah.
60
138900
3180
02:22
And then they introduced me  to peanut butter milkshakes,
61
142080
2160
02:24
and I saw it at Five Guys,
62
144240
960
02:25
I was like; I'm sold.
63
145200
780
02:25
What is it about fish and  chips that you like so much?
64
145980
2220
02:28
I think, really bad; the grease.
65
148200
1920
02:30
It's just like... just makes it  taste so much better, I guess.
66
150120
3780
02:33
That's a positive? - I mean, I guess so, yeah.
67
153900
2100
02:36
It's not healthy for you, I wouldn't recommend it.
68
156000
1500
02:37
Will you have it again? Important question.
69
157500
2280
02:39
Yes, I think I would like to try it again.
70
159780
2820
02:42
Not... not every week, but I will try it again.
71
162600
3780
02:46
What is it about pizza, you like so much?
72
166380
1740
02:48
What's... what's not to like?
73
168660
1020
02:49
I mean, you got the real, soft, pillowy dough.
74
169680
4260
02:53
You got a really nice...
75
173940
1620
02:55
is this... it's sourdough as well right?
76
175560
1560
02:57
Yeah, those ones are the best.
77
177120
1140
02:58
I don't really know the difference
78
178260
1080
02:59
between normal pizza dough and sourdough, but...
79
179340
1920
03:01
I'm not sure...
80
181260
540
03:01
I just pretend that I do, so...
81
181800
2100
03:03
it makes me look like I  know what I'm talking about.
82
183900
2100
03:06
But then you got the nice, sort  of, tangy tomato sauce. - Yeah.
83
186000
4440
03:10
I don't know, you can have whatever  toppings on there you like.
84
190440
2400
03:12
What do you usually go for?
85
192840
1200
03:14
I must... I'm like, a spicy sort of,
86
194040
2940
03:16
pepperoni, salami... - Nice... - type guy.
87
196980
3180
03:20
Oh, what I like is Kentucky Fried Chicken.
88
200160
2880
03:23
You like KFC? - Yes, but not often.
89
203040
2880
03:25
Because, too much fat.
90
205920
2280
03:28
And, I think the meat is not the best.
91
208200
3420
03:31
Yeah, I'm not sure how much chicken  is in Kentucky Fried Chicken.
92
211620
3660
03:35
Yeah, but sometimes, it has to be.
93
215280
3180
03:38
And when... when are those  sometimes? Why sometimes.
94
218460
3960
03:42
Oh it's, thank God, far away from us.
95
222420
3420
03:45
Let's unpack what you said.
96
225840
2580
03:48
So you go to Papa John's. - Yep.
97
228420
1440
03:49
And, why is that? - I don't know. I just... I...
98
229860
3240
03:53
the crust is kind of, sweet,  in a weird way. - Okay.
99
233100
2880
03:55
And it's not crumbly, like Domino's.
100
235980
1500
03:57
Domino's; you end up with flour, everywhere.
101
237480
2040
03:59
And I don't like it as much.
102
239520
2400
04:01
And then what's your topping?
103
241920
2040
04:03
Ham, pineapple, tomato and bacon.
104
243960
2700
04:06
Is this custom? Or is it like... - Yeah.
105
246660
1620
04:08
Is it your own thing? - Yeah.
106
248280
1784
04:10
And how did you come across this topping?
107
250064
2176
04:12
I don't know.
108
252240
720
04:12
I like ham and pineapple anyway.
109
252960
1320
04:14
And then, one day, I was like;
110
254280
1860
04:16
Oh, I like tomatoes and I like bacon,
111
256140
1680
04:17
I'll just add them and it's become my favourite.
112
257820
1560
04:19
Does it... have you given it a name?
113
259380
1500
04:20
You should give it a name.
114
260880
780
04:21
I don't know. - If you get famous from this video,
115
261660
1860
04:23
then they might name after  you, d'you know what I mean?
116
263520
14040
04:42
Yeah, hopefully.
117
282360
31860
05:24
Is there a time and a place where  you resort to the peanut bu...
118
324840
3180
05:28
will you do it today? - I won't do it today,
119
328020
1920
05:29
mainly when I'm really hungover. - Ah yeah,
120
329940
2580
05:32
that feel good stuff. - Yeah, oh 100%, yeah.
121
332520
2940
05:35
What kind of time and place is there,
122
335460
1380
05:36
when you'd go for the fish and chips?
123
336840
1380
05:38
it's gotta be like, come for a weekend.
124
338820
1320
05:40
I feel like midweek, just... - Hangover or...
125
340140
2940
05:43
Maybe, I don't drink.
126
343080
1320
05:44
So for me, it's more just like,
127
344400
1680
05:46
the fun of fish and chips, I guess.
128
346080
1500
05:47
Like, lazy Sunday afternoon, kinda thing?
129
347580
1200
05:48
Yeah, definitely.
130
348780
960
05:49
Like, Friday, Saturday, definitely a Sunday.
131
349740
2160
05:51
Yeah, that's the kind of, go-time.
132
351900
1680
05:53
What's usually the occasion for you getting pizza?
133
353580
2280
05:55
I didn't realise there needed to be the occasion.
134
355860
2580
05:58
Any time is a good occasion.
135
358440
2040
06:00
But... okay then, do you drink alcohol?
136
360480
3540
06:04
I do, yeah. - What's your go-to
137
364020
1980
06:06
if you've had a bit of a  rough... is it a pizza still?
138
366000
2040
06:08
Yeah, probably would be a pizza.
139
368040
1620
06:09
I mean, maybe a curry or something, perhaps.
140
369660
2580
06:12
We buy the really big bucket.
141
372240
2880
06:15
And eat it.
142
375120
360
06:15
How many chickens are in one bucket?
143
375480
4800
06:20
I think...
144
380280
780
06:22
15?
145
382500
1080
06:23
15 chickens!
146
383580
2520
06:26
Yeah. - This is real junk food.
147
386100
2460
06:28
This is what I want to know.
148
388560
1200
06:29
Okay. - Okay. - And how does it...
149
389760
2640
06:32
how does that make you feel?
150
392400
1020
06:33
Not... not good? - No, that's  good for a lazy Saturday evening,
151
393420
4500
06:37
when you can lay Sunday, in the bed
152
397920
2340
06:40
and hold your belly, then it's okay.
153
400260
2880
06:43
And how does your Papa John's make you feel, then?
154
403920
2520
06:46
Is it a good like... - Oh, I just love it.
155
406440
1920
06:48
It makes me so happy.
156
408360
900
06:49
Yeah? D'you go into like, a food coma afterwards?
157
409260
2580
06:51
Yep, you gotta sleep afterwards.
158
411840
2160
06:54
That's always a good sign.
159
414000
1200
06:55
Have you ever tried making  your own sourdough pizza?
160
415200
2700
06:57
I've not, no.
161
417900
1260
06:59
No, I'm not that adventurous.
162
419160
1860
07:01
I'd give it a go.
163
421020
900
07:03
I'd rather not let myself down  though and be disappointed.
164
423240
2760
07:06
Yeah, yeah, stick with the professionals.
165
426000
2340
07:08
Exactly, exactly.
