An American tourist embarked on an amusing UK food tour after falling in love with roast dinners - and says "I could eat fish and chips every day".
Kalani Smith, 25, an avid ghost hunter, had initially been planning a ghost tour of the UK.
But upon his arrival, Kalani filmed himself tucking into a roast for his TikTok followers back in the US - and it went viral.
He was inundated with comments from Brits recommending other foods to try - so he went on a food review tour of the UK.
Kalani has indulged in a Greggs, KFC, Nando's, steak and ale pie, fish and chips, Chinese takeaways, visited the Lidl bakery and had a full English breakfast.
Rating places on taste and texture, Kalani says he could eat 400 Greggs' sausage rolls before getting bored and would "never get sick of fish and chips".
His signature look with his long hair and cowboy hat has even drawn in brands such as Dominos, Wendy's and Tesco - desperate for him to review their grub.
Kalani, a content creator and ghost hunter, from Nashville, Tennessee, US, said: "My initial itinerary was just driving around to different ghost spots but now I'm out here trying 50,000 different types of food.
"Though I'm not complaining
"I'm actually having to extend my trip because of how successful these videos have been - we're going to Scotland and Ireland now.
"In terms of numbers, this has been the most successful stretch in a series of posts that I've ever had - in terms of people investing in the content too.
"The reputation of food over here in the US is it's all bad and quite bland but it's been really fun for me and I'm giving the food a fair chance and telling people what I think about it.
"I posted the first one as more or less just a documentation for my followers in the US but unfortunately I got shredded in the comments as I wore my hat indoors.
"We're not big on etiquette where I'm from and it's more about getting the food down as quickly as possible - so it's been funny getting the feedback on how I eat, and now there's a shot of me taking my hat off each time."
Kalani believes the reason his reviews are drawing in a big crowd is because of how opinionated people are about food.
He said: "Everyone loves food and everyone has an opinion on food, so a lot of people are interested in hearing what an American thinks about their stuff."
After polishing off his Sunday roast, Kalani was advised to try a KFC.
However, he wasn't impressed, branding the chicken "tasteless" and "not crispy enough".
Next up, Kalani visited a Greggs and decided to sample a classic sausage roll, steak bake and a doughnut.
He said: "Greggs was the first thing I didn't have at home and luckily I got it fresh out of the oven.
"It was very good - I could probably eat like 400 of those sausage rolls."
Kalani then took a trip to Nando's in Swindon, Wiltshire, with his review of the South African chain hitting a whopping 1.3m views.
He said: "Nando's was really good.

00:00 We are about to try our first ever Sunday roast here in the UK.
00:03 So let's go in the hillside in and try it out.
00:05 Alright guys, I finally got my food.
00:06 We got Yorkshire pudding, we got a trio which is pork belly,
00:09 turkey and good old roast beef.
00:12 And then we got some pigs in the blanket, which does not look like our pigs in the blanket.
00:16 Pretty good.
00:21 We're going to try a piece of the roast now.
00:24 Mmm.
00:25 Tender, juicy, tons of good flavor there.
00:34 I want to try a piece of the pork belly too.
00:36 Oh man.
00:40 That is incredible.
00:42 Okay, so we're eating our Sunday roast now.
00:45 The potato.
00:50 Mmm.
00:51 Okay, we're going to eat a portion now.
01:10 Just finished up our Sunday roast meal at the Hillside Inn here in England.
01:20 It was delicious.
01:21 It was honestly a lot of food and now I need a nap.
01:24 Okay, so I got fish and chips and it came in paper, which I've never had it at home come in paper.
01:31 But that is a fat, oh it's hot.
01:35 It's hot.
01:36 I put vinegar on it, but I'm going to take this curry sauce and we're just going to,
01:41 I'm just going to take a bath.
01:45 Take a bath in the curry sauce.
01:46 Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:49 Whew.
01:50 That's hot.
01:57 Okay, the fish is really crispy.
02:00 It tastes really good actually.
02:03 But,
02:08 the curry sauce tastes really good.
02:16 It's obviously very curry-y, but I've never had fish with curry sauce.
02:22 This is phenomenal.
02:25 We're really fresh.
02:34 The potatoes are good, but let's just go for it.
02:40 Whew.
02:41 Okay, I'm not a big pea guy,
02:49 but mushy peas taste a lot better than standard peas.
02:57 Because I don't like peas, I'm going to give this a 7 out of 10, but if I did like peas, I would give this like a 9 out of 10.
03:09 Honestly, probably one of my favorite meals I've had in the UK so far.
