An American man living in the UK has shared the food items available in British supermarkets that 'blew his mind' when he first moved to the country. In a TikTok video, Kjordy, who has over 280,500 followers, took viewers to a Sainsbury's to reveal the products he found confusing or odd but has since come to love.
First on his list was 'squirty cream', the British term for canned whipped cream. Kjordy said his father initially thought it was a joke. He also highlighted Colin the Caterpillar cakes, or Sainsbury's equivalent Giggles the Caterpillar, describing them as iconic birthday treats.
Kjordy was also amazed by the variety of cheeses available, including Ossau Iraty, Doux de Montagne, and three types of gouda, noting that in the US, 'all we know is cheddar, mozzarella, and American cheese'.
Finally, he praised Yorkshire puddings, which he said 'threw him off' at first due to the name but are now a staple with Sunday roast dinners. Brits commented on the video, with one remarking on the logic of calling it 'squirty cream', while some Americans disputed the claim that US cheese sections are limited.
