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 !
