A British cafe has gone viral after a US TikToker gave a glowing review of a full English breakfast.

Kalani Smith, 26, has been on several trips to the UK to indulge in classic British cuisine for his TikTok followers.

After reviewing a Costa toastie, a Yorkshire tea and food stalls at Glasgow Christmas Market for his three million TikTok followers, the American took to Swindon, Wilts., to experience a full English breakfast.

The creator chose the popular Blues Cafe on Havelock Street in Swindon to try the breakfast made up of sausages, bacon, fried and scrambled eggs, black pudding, baked beans, mushrooms, toast, tomato and onion rings.

00:00Today we are trying a full English breakfast. I'm an American, this is my
00:04first time in the UK and we're here in Swindon at the Blues Cafe. Let's go get
00:07something yummy.
00:12Before I do this food review, if there's anywhere else in the UK you want me to
00:16try, make sure you drop it in the comment section and give me a follow right now.
00:19Okay the first thing we're gonna try is the black pudding.
00:30Okay, not my absolute favorite by any means. It's not bad, but I feel like it's
00:49just like, I don't know, it's just not my favorite. Five out of ten. Maybe if I had
00:55a better one, maybe this isn't the right one.
01:00I like the flavor of it. I think it just may be a consistency thing that I'm not
01:13a big fan of, but I would eat it again. Just probably not my favorite thing on the
01:17plate. And then let's try one of the...
01:21Mmm, that's tasty. But something I've learned here is that this brown sauce needs to just go all over.
01:35It's just gonna go all over. And then something else that I've learned is that
01:40we need to scoop these puppies on here.
01:51Mmm, I did not know how I was gonna like beans and toast, but this is delicious.
02:17The flavor pairing is really good on that. I really enjoy that. Okay, let's try
02:23your guys... Is this their bacon? I'm just gonna... I'm sorry, don't yell at me for
02:29using my hands.
02:36That's a big difference.
02:39Okay, this is a lot different than the U.S., but I really like this one. I won't say I
02:52like it better than my U.S. bacon. I like the crispy bacon at home, but this has a lot
02:57of really good flavor. Dipping it in the egg yolk, that might be a crime over here, but
03:05man, I love... I don't know if it's a sin over here, but I love combining different
03:14things on the plate. The eggs and the sausage are good. Mushrooms and the brown sauce. I'm
03:34gonna put some of this tomato on top of this. That's really good. I really like this meal.
03:50It's very homey. It's like a comfort meal, I would say, and I can see why you guys love
03:55this meal. Tons of good flavor. Tons of good variants, too. The eggs and the sausage and
04:02the beans and toast. The beans and toast might be my favorite part of this entire thing,
04:05and I think my next evolution will be adding cheese on top of that, but for this English
04:11breakfast, I'm gonna give it an 8.3. The black pudding, not a huge fan of, 5 out of 10 on
04:20that, but maybe there's a better one out there that I need to try, but I'm willing to try
04:24anything, so if you got a recommendation, please drop it below.
