American leaves Brits in stitches after sampling Greggs for the first time

An American tourist has tried British food for the first time and documented himself reviewing staples including Greggs sausage rolls - and he's got a clear favourite.

David Turek, 26, shared his reviews on TikTok, and filmed himself eating classic British food and his reaction to the savoury pastry snack is priceless.

A video shows David taking the meat-filled pastry out from the classic paper bag and his eyes lighting up as he takes a bite, before crying: "Holy s***!, 9.8 out of 10, that's f***ing lovely".

David, who is originally from Chesapeake, Virginia, USA, recorded videos of himself also trying a bacon butty, fish and chips, and crumpets, to the delight of British people online.

What do you think is the best British food? Let us know in the comments...

Greggs, Costa & Pret coffees have 'huge differences in caffeine', says report

Many reacted to his videos said they wish they could re-live the moment they tried these dishes for the first time.

One comment read: "That is EXACTLY the reaction I was waiting for," while another added "we're all living our first tastes again through you."

David, a full-time student, started reviewing British food online after seeing people from the UK doing the same thing with American food

"I thought it would be nice to do the same thing but trying British food.

But nothing compared to the ultimate Gregg's sausage roll (David Turek / SWNS)

"My favourite British food so far, if we're talking strictly British, I would say fish & chips.

"That meal was absolutely sensational, and I haven't really experienced anything like that in the US."

David was also surprised when he tried his first Sunday roast.

He had researched the meal and was not excited about it due to it being "food drenched in gravy which didn't sound that great."

But after trying it in a local pub in Wales, he was taken aback by the traditional meal.

David thinks the quality of food in the UK is much higher than it is across the pond, but he draws the line at Marmite and black pudding.

Greggs launches 11 new menu items - but not everyone can try them just yet

"The worst British food I've eaten has to be between Marmite and Black Pudding," he said.

"I honestly get sick just thinking about it, especially the Marmite."
