ROLL BRITANNIA
I tested best of British grub for the first time – here’s the treat that beat the rest, says American food fan
A US tourist has filmed himself sampling British food for the first time — and was instantly bowled over by a Greggs sausage roll.
David Turek, 26, fell in love with most of our famous grub, including crumpets, bacon butties and especially fish and chips — although Marmite was a no-no.

One video sees him sliding a meat-filled sausage roll out of a Greggs bag and taking a bite, before his eyes light up.
Shaking his head in disbelief, David says: “Holy s***! 9.8 out of 10, that’s f**ing lovely.”
David, who is staying in Birkenhead, Merseyside, was inspired by Brits heading over the Atlantic to review American food.
The full-time student, originally from Chesapeake, Virginia, reckons the quality is higher here.

He said: “My favourite British food so far, if we’re talking strictly British, I would say fish and chips.
“That meal was absolutely sensational and I haven’t really experienced anything like that in the US.”
He was also pleasantly surprised when he tried his first roast dinner, at a Toby Carvery, despite thinking it was just food drenched in gravy which did not sound that tempting.

Another added: “That’s EXACTLY the reaction I was waiting for.”
But David did not enjoy it all.
He said: “The worst food I’ve eaten has to be between Marmite and black pudding. I honestly get sick just thinking about it, especially Marmite.”
