Greggs sausage rolls are truly a classic staple in British culture - it's hard to imagine trying one again for the first time.But one American student on social media has shared his experience of doing just that - and has gained over 30,000 followers on TikTok in the process.David Turek, 26, is originally from Chesapeake in Virginia, and uses his TikTok account @davidturek23 to review classic British food staples that aren't as popular in the US.After seeing UK TikTokers trying out American foods for the first time, he decided to do the same with British food.In his videos, which often get hundreds of thousands of views, he's tried some of the most popular foods this side of the pond - from fish and chip to crumpets, the Express reports.But the sausage roll from Greggs got lots of attention with David taking a bite and saying: "Holy s***!, 9.8 out of 10, that's f***ing lovely".He also loved trying fish and chips, which he described as "absolutely sensational".

David commented: "That meal was absolutely sensational, and I haven't really experienced anything like that in the US."The student has also tasted an array of sweet treats such as crumpets, French fancies and Battenberg cake, as well as Easter classic Creme Eggs.But one of the most popular British staple meals - the Sunday roast - initially didn't appeal to David at all because of it being "drenched in gravy".

However, after giving it a go at a pub in Wales, he was surprised to find he actually enjoyed the meal. According to David, the quality of food in the UK is much better compared to America.

But the two things he can't seem to stomach are Scots breakfast favourite black pudding, as well as Marmite. "The worst British food I've eaten.
