An American tourist’s bewildering first experience with a traditional British roast dinner has taken the internet by storm, leaving Brits in stitches over her honest – and utterly confused – reactions.
In a now-viral social media post, the visitor documented her encounter with the iconic meal, starting with the Yorkshire pudding. "Is this a bread bowl?" she asked, poking the crispy batter cup before hesitantly adding, "It’s… hollow?" Her followers quickly flooded the comments to clarify: "That’s a YORKSHIRE, love!"
The confusion didn’t end there. The tourist eyed the gravy with suspicion, questioning its "weird brown colour", and mistook roast potatoes for "giant croutons". But the pièce de résistance? Her attempt to assemble the plate like a "Thanksgiving dinner", piling everything into the Yorkshire pudding as if it were a sandwich.
Brits reacted with a mix of amusement and horror. "This is why we need cultural exchange programs," joked one user, while another quipped, "Someone give this woman a proper Sunday roast tutorial—STAT!"
Despite the mishaps, the tourist admitted the meal was "surprisingly delicious"—though she still insists mashed potatoes "belong in a volcano shape". The debate rages on!
