“It Feels Like a Hug…” | Brits React to REAL American Goulash for the First Time!

“It Feels Like a Hug…” | Brits React to REAL American Goulash for the First Time!

What happens when a British family dives into one of America’s most comforting, nostalgic dishes — for the very first time? You’re about to find out.

In this episode of Mr H and Friends, we recreate Classic American Goulash (aka "Slumgullion") from scratch — right here in our British kitchen — and the results leave us completely speechless.

📍 What is American Goulash?
Not to be confused with the Hungarian version, American Goulash is a hearty, one-pot meal made with ground beef, elbow macaroni, onions, garlic, peppers, and a rich tomato-based sauce. It’s humble, deeply nostalgic, and pure Southern-style comfort food — the kind that hugs you from the inside out.

🥄 Here’s what we did in our UK kitchen:

Cooked it low and slow using authentic ingredients

Added our own twist while respecting the American tradition

Sat down together for a proper family-style taste test — with reactions you don’t want to miss!

Reflected on whether this truly lives up to the idea of real Southern comfort

Why THIS VIDEO is different:
We’re not just taste-testing — we’re reconnecting cultures through food. As a British family with a deep love for American cuisine, we’re exploring what these dishes mean to YOU across the pond — and sharing the journey with our growing global community.

🎯 If you grew up on this dish…
👨‍👩‍👧 If you love traditional American comfort food…
🍽️ If you’re curious how British taste buds react to your childhood favorites…

Fun Fact: American Goulash dates back to the early 1900s and became a Depression-era staple thanks to its budget-friendly ingredients and ability to feed a crowd. Today, it's a beloved weeknight meal and comfort classic.
