A US foreigner who lived in the UK for 10 years got tired of trying a popular British dessert likened to “maggot.” After living in the country for almost a decade, Kalyn runs her girl Gone London Channel on YouTube, where she posts videos about British life and shares an honest view of everything from local culture to food.
“I've tried the American Tries 11 unique British cuisine. Kalyn was divided into a variety of legendary British delicacies, including Weetabix, Hot Cross Buns, Pot Noodles, Malt Loaf and potato cakes.
However, she was not impressed with the one edible treat that many of us remember from school dinners. Karin explained that rice pudding is also available in the US, but it could be more popular on this side of the pond.
However, according to Gulf news, rice pudding is actually an ancient dish enjoyed by people all over the globe for thousands of years, including India, the Middle East and China. In India, rice pudding dates back to 6000 BC, and desserts also appear in the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata.
The YouTuber has chosen to serve some of the popular desserts themselves in the “fancy little bowl” and learn from tin's instructions that the pudding can enjoy the hot or cold, and try his British favorite cold.
She said: “To be honest, this is one of the scariest things I'll try because the texture doesn't appeal to me at all. It's very gloopy and doesn't really smell.
“Okay, it doesn't really smell that bad, so it may not taste aggressive. It's just gloopy and looks like a maggot, but we'll give it a try.”
She adds that she is doing well by trying the cake, but as she approaches a cooking item she doesn't know, her “food anxiety begins.”
At this point, Karin theorized that she would receive comments from viewers informing her that she had made the dessert known she was “wrong” because she chose to enjoy Pudding's cold, but pointed to the tin instructions.
She then tried a spoonful, but quickly frowned as she admitted that it was “cold and not tasty” and that she didn't like it.
Karin added: “I don't like textures, it's like eating a rabbit. Well, it wasn't cold so I'm trying to get it hot if that's the problem.”
When she heats up the pudding, she reveals it is “much better.” But still a bit unsure about the dessert, Kalyn added, “It's not 'great', but you can see 'how good it is'.
