Nationwide — TikTok food critic Keith Lee, known for his honest reviews, sparked controversy in the UK after trying a Full English breakfast. His viral video, which rated several components poorly, angered British viewers, who claimed he ate at the wrong place.
His first bite of scrambled eggs earned a modest 6/10. He found the hash browns too greasy and bland, giving them a 4/10. The baked beans, which he described as ‘bathed in sweet ketchup,’ scored just 1/10. He refused to rate the mushrooms, calling them plain, and was disappointed by the sausage’s lack of seasoning, also rating it a 4/10.
The most dramatic moment came when he tried black pudding. After one bite, he immediately spit it out, saying it ‘tastes like blood’ and giving it a 0/10.
The video, which gained 13.9 million views, sparked outrage among British viewers. Many argued that hotel breakfasts do not represent a true Full English and insisted he should have gone to a local café or ‘greasy spoon’ for an authentic experience. Some accused him of being overly critical, while others said he failed to research the best place to try the dish.
Despite the backlash, Lee stood by his opinions, continuing his UK food reviews.
