An American online food critic is angry after the traditional full English breakfast has given a brutal review
Foodie Keith Lee is currently in the UK and has rated the various footstables and kitchens in the country
His controversial video has yielded 9.5 million views on social media platform Tiktok
The critic gives the scramble a six out of ten rating before he goes to the next food.
He then goes for the Hash Brown, who is also eaten in America.
While he chews on the crispy potato dish, he notes that it is 'reminiscent' served to hash browns in McDonald's, but he says it is 'it is a piece of fat and much less salt' than the one he has tasted earlier.
He puts down the rest of his hash Brown and gives it four out of 10 rating.
“This is where things are going to be differently,” he says as he absorbs a fork full of baked beans and sticks it on a slice of buttered toast.
“The bread is absolutely old,” he says, apparently struggling to chew on his food.
Lee points out that the beans taste as if they 'bathe in ketchup … and also a very sweet ketchup'.
He adds that the texture is' mushy 'before he emphasizes how' there is no other taste than, as I said, a sweet ketchup. No salt, no herbs'.
'In my opinion this is extremely low. One in 10, “he says.

Unlike the eggs, Lee gave the reviews of the breakfast products lower than five
British viewers said Lee had chosen the wrong place to try the dish, and said he was better to try a full English in a traditional cafe
He then tries the mushroom.
Picking up the fungi with his hands to show viewers makes a point of how different the mushroom looks like.
'If A mushroom lover is not sure if this is what it should look like, or I am simply not familiar with the kind of mushroom it is'.
After taking a bite of the fried vegetables, he says casually: 'It's Just a mushroom '.
'I don't feel that they have done anything with it. It's just a mushroom … I'm not going to judge it. “
When trying out the sausage, he imply that the food item has a boring taste.
'It doesn't really taste like something other than pork for me.
'I expected as a sage or herbs. But I don't really taste anything for me. Just pork, and I am not a big fan, “he says, before he gives it a score of four.
He leaves the most controversial component of the dish – Blackpudding – until the end.
Black pudding or black pudding is made of blood, fat and oats and different herbs.
It is considered a controversial food item because of the fact that it is made of pig blood – a factor that can be unpleasant for some people. In the meantime, some consider it a delicacy.
“I am not completely biased,” says Lee before he tastes the division pudding.
'I know this is something else and this is something new. I'm just going to try it, “he says.
But the critic quickly comes up to spit out the main component, and notes that it “immediately tastes like blood.”
“It tastes like iron. I have liver and things that taste like iron, so it wasn't the iron taste that thrown me away a bit. The chunks of other things are extremely disturbing to me
“I fully understand that this is an acquired taste that people enjoy … I have not acquired that taste – zero from 10 '.
The video sent different British in a flurry, in which several defended their beloved English breakfast.
The most important point of viewers was that Lee had chosen the wrong place to try the dish.
'Hotel breakfast is different. Go to a cafe ', a viewer has responded to the video.
Another said: 'Everyone doesn't know how to go to these chic places for a real English breakfast! It is always the cafes that do well '.
'London Hotes is where food dies. Go to the small restaurants', a third noted.
British will often enjoy their entire English in their 'cafe' or 'Greasy Spoon' – the British equivalent of an American restaurant. Eating the traditional breakfast in a cafe is often considered better because customers get a sturdy and fresh home -made meal.
Other viewers closed the tapping toker because they were too critical of the English dish.
“I feel that you are now deliberately difficult with eating English,” a user noted.
Another pointed out that he had not done his investigation before trying the traditional dish.
'Why would you do England like that?! That is as if you are going to America as a food critic and hamburger and fries from a hotel room, “said the viewer.
