My dad calls boiled peanuts "southern edamame" to describe them to people who aren't sure about the texture. You can slurp them from the shell to catch more of the spicy juices too!
I laughed when they said the peanuts tasted legumy. Might be because peanuts are legumes ;)
Someone described them as green beans on another video and all I could do is scream no. I will not touch a green bean but love peanuts.
Right! And bacon grease is "gentile smaltz"!
Boiled peanuts are terrible...
@@dabreal82 to you
Saying "I could eat these all afternoon" about the boiled peanuts is the essential southern experience. That means you got them made well. I remember working in retail and a guy would park his boiled peanut trailer down the way and we would all get a cup or two from him. There's something special about whiling away the afternoon eating boiled peanuts. AND it is much healthier than a lot of other snacks. I'm glad you got to try it.
I don't think I've ever tried boiled peanuts. Just the name doesn't sound super flavourful but I'm sure they're great and should love to try them
Thought the same thing! My dad makes them and we eat them all afternoon while watching football on Saturdays. That’s what they’re for, and so delicious.
…now I’m desperately craving some!
Boiled peanuts always makes me think of the horrible gas station variety
@@peacelizard they’re so much better than they sound, some people even make theirs spicy to kick up the flavor. Just skip the ones from the gas station, those tend to be kind of gross
I think it's funny these guys don't know that peanuts are legumes.
So happy Gullah culture was brought up. There used to be a kid's show back in the 90s called Gullah Gullah Island here in the US that was all about this. Absolutely LOVE IT.
So chuffed you all had a great time.
One of my favorite shows as a kid, with one of the catchiest theme songs of all time.
I Remember those days watching that. Home from school faking sick.
i loved ggi
Gullah Gullah Island was dope.
I can hear the song in my head 😂❤
I can only blame myself that some of my favorite food youtubers were in my city and I didnt know. Hope you guys enjoyed our lovely town and take some of our flavors home with you!
Same !
Same!!
Same
Me too. They were downtown in my city and I was so mad I didn't know.
Same!
As a Charleston native who has commented over the years for y'all to try stuff like She Crab Soup, I am literally overjoyed to see that y'all went to my hometown and got to experience the amazing Gullah Geeche food and all of the Charleston experience. Makes me homesick. Even just a little further NW in Tennessee these foods are simply unheard of. What I would give for a good fixin of fried green tomatoes with grits and a bowl of She Crab Soup. And a whole giant bucket of boiled peanuts! 😂 Thank you boys for really exploring, trying, and having fun. ❤️
I've lived my entire live in Maryland and Tennessee and was astonished at how I actually didn't know some of these things. Impressed that they can dig into American cuisine and teach me regional stuff that I don't know about as an American.
Do you not have access to a kitchen? I don't know about obtaining the crabs and green tomatoes aren't available year round some places but if you can get hold of them they aren't hard to cook. Grits are available everywhere in the US. I've lived all over and never had trouble getting them.
@@bcaye I've seen places all the way up to like Indiana that serve fried green tomatoes its one of the southern foods that made it big so usually not hard to find on the east coast at least.
@@bcaye Good quality stone ground grits and green peanuts for boiling are sometimes hard to find or pricey to source online.
@@bcaye I have made them on occasion, but as I'm the only one who will eat these things, it's rather expensive to buy all the ingredients. Crab especially can be quite costly. I often eat grits, they're a staple for me. Green tomatoes are a seasonal summer only item available here. :(
It ALWAYS confuses me when you guys upload on a day that isn't Wednesday or Sunday! But you bet I'm not complaining about extra Sorted in my week at all 😬
Same! It gets me every time! But a Sorted surprise is always a good one ^_^
Haha. Same. But since I frequently don't know what day it is, I just assume it must be one of those days!
“They do not taste like vegetables.”
I’m pretty sure that’s how you get the attention of any parent with a fussy eater as a child. 😂
100%
I don't know abuout that, my kid cares nothing about the actual flavour, she doesn't even know what most food tastes like because she refuses to have a taste. 😂
@@RaXXha when my sister was about 5 or 6 she asked my mom what prejudice meant. My mom tried to simplify it by saying it was making a judgment or disliking based on how someone looks. My sister said she was prejudice against green beans 😂
No desert? Banana Pudding, sweet potato or yam pie, benne seed cookiesLady Baltimore cake? Also Charleston is the place to find tea based punches like Gun Powder Tea punch…all with mixes of several spirits. Thanks for visiting.
In re: Jimmy Red Corn:
There's a wonderfully subversive little song that used to be sung in the United States (even popularized by being sung by Burl Ives on a children's album) called "Jimmy Crack Corn" The lyrics are about a young slave (named Jimmy in a play on words) whose tasks for his master included "bring him drink when he get dry, and brush away the blue-tailed fly." One day, when his master was out riding on horseback, and Jimmy was supposed to run alongside and keep the flies away from the horse's flanks, he 'failed' to brush them all away, one bit the horse, and it bucked and threw the master, killing him. The blame, when the death was investigated, was place on the fly and not on Jimmy (though it's pretty strongly implied that Jimmy knew what was what and chose his actions accordingly).
The refrain is "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care: the master's gone away." Jimmy had access to the master's liquor cabinet ("bring him drink when he get dry"), "crack corn" was also slang for gossipping, and whiskey was made from, as is shown here, jimmy corn that was cracked. It seems clear that Jimmy has passed out the master's liquor and is telling the story of how it all happened, to the joy of the other slaves.
And yet, even in segregated decades in America, it was sung as a catchy little children's song by people who evidently never stopped to think about it being a song about people celebrating the death of a slave-owner. Which, let's be honest, is a great reason to raise a glass of whisky and celebrate.
To be fair as a kid I thought it was a slang for shucking
@@NoThankUBeQuiet Well, shucking is removing the part of the corn that's unwanted and useless, and it's about the death of a slave-owner, so it is about a certain kind of shucking.
I am absolutely disappointed that you all did go to restaurants owned by the actual Gullah people 😢
as a southern and someone who loves black history and liberation theory I’ve never known this! Thanks for teaching me something new.
I had relatives born in the 1910s who would sing that song. They were white and actually came from Missouri and Kentucky. So that was a very well-known song, but I’m sure a lot of people didn’t understand what they were singing.
This is how you have a holiday with your friends, have good food and write it off as a company expense 😂 keep up the good work Lads
This episode was the perfect mix between food, history/culture and friends having fun. Keep it up guys, loving all the great work you do.
I love how the boys have unilaterally decided to call any edible meats or cheeses (or spare potato skins) laying around “snacking meats/cheeses” etc!🤷♀️😂👍🏻🥰
Josh from Mythical Kitchen used the "snacking" phrase recently as well. It's catchy!
My family has started saying snacking cheese, smoked tofu, oh and is that an extra piece of bacon? Snacking bacon
All cheese is snacking cheese.
As a Lowcountry native (HHI/Savannah area but with family all over Charleston) this was cool. Y’all are one of the few foreign food people that has gotten Gullah stuff correct by and large. That’s the actual cuisine of the area, not the fake touristy stuff.
Maybe you can answer this. What exactly, or rather where, exactly, is the low country and gulla? cuisine? I am totally lost, so any help is huge.
Thanks!
@@RICDirector more or less it goes like this… South Carolina was the state with the most slaves in the United states. On top of that we have a lot of barrier islands that are rather inaccessible, or were rather inaccessible until the invention of modern engineering bridges, etc. etc. That region is called the Lowcountry. It stretches from roughly Charleston to Savannah, Georgia more or less on the coast anyways, the slave communities by and large stayed in the islands, post freedom and kept their culture largely intact. Gullah culture is basically an amalgamation of a bunch of west African cultures brought over during the slave trade, mashed into one isolated American Culture. It’s a uniquely, South Carolina and Georgia thing, although there is a bit in North Carolina and Florida. There is a distinct language called Gullah that a few people still speak, which is a Creole English. Any other questions just ask.
If "fake touristy stuff" is so bad, maybe the people living there shouldn't make it the face of the area...
@@grabble7605 There's so much wrong with this statement I wouldn't know where to start
@@grabble7605 child
As a native South Carolinian, descendant of the Gullah Geechee people on my mother's side, and a longtime subscriber, it was great to see you feature Charleston and the Gullah Geechee culture central to its foodways in such a respectful and insightful way. Awesome to see the rising star Amethyst Ganaway and so many of my favorite Charleston spots featured! Fantastic job.💞
My grandpa was from South Carolina and Gullah geechee! We don’t know much about the culture or a lot of his family unfortunately :(
I had the pleasure of growing up all over the world as a military kid. Moving every two years to a new country or part of thr US was what ignited my passion for food and for cooking. With my father being a senior officer we always had people over at the house and that ignited my passion for entertaining. All of that was what led me to culinary school and having a wonderful career as a chef on a line and eventually an executive chef. These trips you guys do are always a treat for me because it reminds me of growing up, going somewhere new and learning about the culture and the food. Cheers guys and I hope my home country was hospitable to you on this latest journey.
It sounds like you had an absolutely incredible childhood!
@Sorted Food It really was. Spain, Germany, Korea, Guam, Hawaii, Hampton Roads VA, and two great years at RAF Alconbury in Cambridgeshire from 89-91. Those are just places I lived in growing up. Doesn't even begin to come close to all of the places I've visited either growing up or during my chef career. Top tip for visiting the states, find places with a lot of military bases. Those areas will surprise you with the amount of various international restaurants. Because of military people being all over the world they miss the cuisine from places they've been stationed or visited. Plus a lot of them will fall in love and marry a local and then open up a restaurant after they retire. Keep doing what you guys do, you'll always have my support and I've already got my tickets for the Pass it On live show. You guys should really do a few PIO lives across the states though.
I'm of Nigerian origin and the dishes you're eating are very similar to some of our foods. The okra soup/stew, the red rice, close to our joloff rice to name a couple. Boiled peanuts is something I miss, a great snack.
Well obviously because the kings of Nigeria sold more people into slavery than slave traders stole, I have no respect for them , my ancestor was a slave despite my looking white,I am Britannia my ancestor was part Nigerian and part native american, I was married to a nigerian, when I found Oh this ancestors captured people to sell as slaves, it killed what little respect I had left for the lying cheating thief
Exactly what I was thinking.
Soul food was created by black southerners slaves and once our ancestors freed us. Most of our roots go back to west Africa in some sort of way so it makes sense that dishes are similar.
That's probably cause even though it is southern food it really is more specifically African American cuisine
Louisiana Okra gumbo is probably more closer to what you are talking about.
This was the best video I’ve ever seen. The history, the food, the water, the travel, THE CHARLESTON. What a ride! The production quality is so frickin high!
I’m so glad they’re trying real down home southern food!!! I’ve been waiting for these since they asked the community about it 😍😍😍
It was so nice to learn about and try southern food too. The hospitality was out of this world! We’re very lucky 😁
Me too, because I pay for the app and their Baleada recipe is terrible. you can tell they haven’t been to Honduras. Even a lot of the American recipes are way off base. However I do like trying European food so the app is great for that.
If y'all ever go to other southern places I recommend going to Mississippi or Louisiana. Biloxi or New Orleans or something like that. It's a whole different thing. Also Texas is more Mexican inspired and Memphis is just plain ole good. BBQ is a must too.
I think they hit New Orleans when they did their US tour.
@@missdire will have to check that out.
New Orleans took alot of inspiration from Charlestons food culture.
Those states culture are mostly descended from the Carolinas and Georgia.
Heading to New Orleans in August to eat our way across the city.
as a native southerner who lived in Charleston for 2 years when I was in the military its so lovely to see you guys share and amplify our food culture. Happy especially to see the slave history highlighted as not enough people give the real credit to the people who made amazing beautiful food that heals the soul in the midst of horrific oppression, poverty and lack of resources.
I'm so happy y'all tried the Glass Onion! That's my favorite place in Charleston for shrimp and grits! And you went to my favorite place for fried green tomatoes! Thank you for taking the time to learn about the African culture that makes Southern food the best.
I'm glad to see that the Glass Onion is still going strong! Was one of our favourite places to eat when we lived in Charleston.
Southern style biscuits and gravy is amazing, country fried steak with the white gravy one of the greatest food creations of all time as well as banana pudding
These are always my favorite videos from you guys, where you take a deep dive into another culture's food by actually traveling to its birthplace. Very excited for part 2!
As an SC native, it's so fun to see one of my favorite channels try and learn about this cuisine!
Another thing that you have to get to understand southern cooking is southern culture and hospitality. It's not just cooking. As the chef told you, it's about about putting love and caring for the people who are going to eat that food into every dish.
Yes! This is literally why soul food hits different
Every good cuisine everywhere is made with care. My mom worked as a short order cook here in the north, and there was plenty of care in a simple plate of eggs and bacon.
@@Jlowrey8, actually the beauty of it to me
is that it comes from people having to create delicious food from non premium ingredients. The ingenuity! There are cuisines of that nature globally, but Southern food is the most accessible to me.
@@Jlowrey8 Oh, come off it. It's a bunch of rhetoric. All that's actually happening is they're not a mass franchise restaurant so they're not skimping on quality to hit quantity. You don't have to love anyone to do that.
@@bcaye "having to create delicious food from non premium ingredients. The ingenuity!"
Salt, pepper, sugar, MSG can do that regardless of any other ingredients. Doesn't take too much ingenuity. And _most human beings_ are working with non-premium ingredients. The poor outnumber the rich well and far.
Quit trying to mythologize food. Just let it be good food.
So excited to finally see this episode. We were visiting Charleston the same weekend you guys were there, and we ate ALL THE FOOD in so many places - I was really hoping we'd chance upon seeing you filming somewhere while we were there. Really glad to get to see you enjoying yourselves in that great town!
funny that you called the boiled peanuts 'legumey'... as they are legumes, lol!
If you don't live too close to where they're grown then most people are probably only familiar with having them dried so the boys are probably more used to them resembling a nut.
Being a southern lady, I can relate to this. There's a lot of southern food I can't eat since I'm allergic to shell fish. 😪 The boiled peanuts are sooo good, I could eat them all day. All the veggies are heaven on a bun to me! Rice is a staple, I buy it in 10 pound bags. Just yum!
One of the best things about moving to the South is absolutely the food. I'm so glad these types of videos are back. Love seeing your vlogging adventures.
YES! Fried green tomatoes and Pimento cheese! I am so glad you all tried both of those! Those items are so regional that even people in Northern USA have not had them before!
I really like that you guys are showing off the food, culture, and hospitality of the Southern US because I feel like they always get a bad rap but people just don't understand how welcoming people in that area are, and how good the food is! I hope you all enjoyed!
Fairly certain that the bad rap comes from all the red voters in the south. It's hard to see folks as welcoming and hospitable when they're voting Republican. It's like they're saying one thing and doing another.
I love pimento cheese.
Fried green tomatoes are a seasonal thing for me. End of season rush to use the green tomatoes up
It's not exactly helpful that Southeast an Central South get grouped together a lot. Completely different food west of the Mississippi.
*get a bad rap
Maybe bcz they're so overtly racist and misogynist. Like forcing even minor vics of rape/incest to birth, denying abortion.
There is a place in Savannah, Vic's on the River that does fried green tomatoes with goat cheese, tomato chutney and a balsamic glaze. Everything on the menu is to die for and the Restaurant is one of the best places in town.
I always think it’s interesting that we’ve gone so far that traditional cooking can seem exotic. Like that local ingredients aren’t the normal anymore. Kinda sad but with the way history shook out but unfortunately that’s where we’re at. We’ve lost so many hyper local cuisines it’s cool to see one get highlighted in this way
From the UK but did a big tour around US few years ago, did Charleston and Savannah to sample some American history, unfortunately, we were on a bit of a budget so didn't get to try it all. Followed advice to go off the beaten track, the locals were quite surprised when I spoke to order but we had some amazing food!
I've lived in the pacific northwest all my life and I recently discovered Sunn m’Cheaux and the Gullah people. it's really really heartwarming to see the boys embrace and learn about them and their history and foods. Glad I'm not the only white boy learning and appreciating the people.
I’m a Charleston native and miss my hometown so badly❤. But i love love seeing ppl experiencing our culture and appreciating it like these gents are doing. Thank you for showcasing Charleston!!!
Jaime is just out here living his best life. Heavy, meaty foods and whiskey, he must be in paradise!
Jamie doing the Charleston is everything I needed today! :D
Ebb-n-flow really enjoyed the dance lesson lolololol
I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you!
Love seeing the gifting and more outdoors fun stuff. Feeling more and more like an episode of a REALLY WELL DONE round the world cooking show but haven't lost any of the personality and home feeling the fans love! This direction for the channel is SO! EXCITING and i cannot wait for SORTED food to take over the world!!
As a South Carolinian, I'm so excited for this video!!!
Fried green tomatoes from my own garden are literally one of my favorite foods ever. And grits and boiled peanuts 🥰🥰
Y'all did it right 👍
Love the glimpses of your production team. Please show them more often.
I never would've at all expected you guys to come to South Carolina, this is amazing! It's really cool seeing you guys try and eat food that I basically grew up with, this is such a cool video to watch as someone who's been in SC my whole life
I love when you guys go on the road, can’t wait to see the rest of this.
I haven’t watched this yet but intrigued to see the review. We live in Florida and my husband’s family is from Mississippi so I like to keep with his traditions for him. Today I’m making Slow roasted pork jowl, collard greens, boiled cabbage, black eyed peas and cornbread.
Can I come over for dinner?
I love the “eating greens for the first time” faces
You might already know about it (and I assume they'll deliver to the UK) but Anson Mills is an amazing source for heirloom and heritage corn and grain products.
Jamie: “boys I’m having a great time!”
Well of course you are- you have whisky/alcohol, and snacking foods!😂🤣🤷♀️👍🏻🥰
OMG! I can't believe the Sorted crew was HERE! It's crazy seeing them in places I've been. But I also saw some I've never been to before.
Amazing! Which place did you like the most?
Really glad to see a return to this format and you guys bringing us along your travels! Excited for more!
As a grown up, I really like the bitter, slightly chewy dark green veggies like collard greens or kale with the stalks removed. I like them with just onions and roasted red pepper but ham or smoked turkey is yummy too. Shrimp and grits is one of my favorite breakfast treats. My dads family is from poor white people in South Carolina so the food was almost all the same. I make fried green tomatoes with a remoulade sort of thing. It really goes over well at parties.
There's definitely a little bit of a noticeable difference between southern let's say hillbilly food vs. soul food, mostly in how the seasoning is layered and applied, and an even bigger difference between that southern "white people food" and Gullah food. Remember, Gullah culture had really no interaction or influence w/white people until really the late 1970s really because they really didn't want to go out to those sea islands in those days. That's really how the Gullah have been able to keep their culture for so long without significant influence from what we would probably consider "mainstream" American culture. So while there is a lot of crossover between southern white food and soul food in a vast majority of the Southern United States, it's noticeably less so w/the Gullah/Geechie cuisine.
Try adding a few crumbles of goat cheese on top of your fried green tomatoes!
@@geno5360 there is no hillbilly food. its southern food, soul food is just what black people like to call it to try to claim it all. like fried chicken, mac and cheese, potato salad all european foods that get labeled into soul food, not even counting the desserts.
@@gnome-ski American Style Chicken I was first created by West African enslaved people modelled on West African fried Guinea fowl. Scottish people did it too but In a totally different way and fried and seasoned in an entirely different style and manner. European potato salad and macaroni with cheese (Not Mac & Cheese) are very different too.
As a person who is from the south I really enjoyed watching this and seeing them enjoy food that is such a comforting food and also loved seeing them try boiled peanuts because I know a lot of people don't even know what boiled peanuts are and for someone who grew up eating them and just sitting around the house with my family while they cook and then enjoying with my family brings my heart so much joy. Thank you guys because all of your videos help my day get better and also helps when I have a bad day. Love all of you guys so much.
As a swing dancer, watching you all do the Charleston was absolutely delightful!
These videos are so good! I'm a chef and to see food/dishes that Ive never heard of and then to see the history of how it came to be and where it came from is awesome. I've always wanted to travel to southern USA to experience soul food first hand, but videos packed with this much information and enjoyment are the next best thing, very educational.
Cheers Sorted! 👍👍
I would cry if I saw these boys in person in my home state. Truly cry. I love how much they learn about each place they go. It's phenomenal.
I am so happy to see SORTED travel videos again. Thank you "Visit the USA!"
Y’all should go to Lafayette, Louisiana next! Mardi Gras is coming up and it’s the perfect time to see Cajun culture at its finest!
This was really awesome and reminded me of the old food network days of watching television. Thanks for a hit of nostalgia boys and glad to see the new content type.
This is such a cool video! Can you do more of these? Bit of history, bit of real authenticity, especially with real people telling their stories, overall brilliant!
They definitely did more pre-pandemic, hopefully there will be more to come!!
I stumbled across you guys the other day and I am totally hooked I have been binge watching every since. I am from the south and I truly hope you enjoyed yourselves and that you were shown some good southern hospitality.
Welcome to the family! You have a MASSIVE back catalog to catch up on 🤗
So much fun to watch! So glad to see our South so well represented. Hope you guys had a fantastic time. Come back soon, y’all!!
We had the BEST time! Thanks for having us 🥰
Being a native of Charleston, seeing these guys on the same streets I walk, eating food I grew up eating, is a great feeling. I can’t express enough how amazing food is here. Places like New Orleans tend to take the limelight when it comes to Southern cities and their cuisine. But Charleston is amazing.
Lived in Charleston for 6 years and went to CofC, it was an amazing food city.
Can we talk about how good Jamie is ag dancing!? The man has great rhythm!
As a life long boiled peanut fan I have to recommend eating green peanuts. Where they are still a bit young and tender. Once the outside goes a bit red like the ones in the vid, the texture changes and whatever seasoning you use to boil them in doesn't soak in as well.
As a kid when we salt boiled green peanuts even my cat would steal them and eat them on the regular.
Having lived in the South my entire life, I've always found it interesting in how in each of the Southern regions the African groups that were brought over found, scrounged, grew, and hunted local edibles and then used their cooking knowledge from their home to make food in their new areas, creating a vast spectrum of delicious local cuisines all across the South that have the same root beginnings, but changed so drastically based on the available food and spice sources. Southern Cajun Creole, soul food, BBQ, and many more. Love the foods and spices all across the South.
OK, you guys KILLED that choreography! I am impressed. Of course, my boy Mike worked it best. 😆😝
So much more entertaining and educational than I anticipated! Nicely done, Gentlemen!
Splendid video! Also, that is totally Baker from Below Deck!
I love it when our British friends visit this country. I'm TX born but my father was from SC and their food is amazing, as is all Southern food.
Ohh an extra vid what a wonderful way to start the weekend 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thrilled your back in USA
Are we just not gonna talk about how unbelievably cool Captain Jackson was?
I didn't think I could find ebbers any more endearing but this video solidified that he's absolutely adorable and a total catch!
Jamie laughing after having a sip of that drink is so iconic
I can't get enough of Sorted! I rewatch Sorted videos from months ago & "convince" myself they're new. Keep up the great work!!
There’s a lot of Americans who have no idea we have a subculture in our country called Gullah. US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is Gullah. He used to speak the Gullah dialect which sounds very similar to Bajans.
Ugh, don't speak that accursed man's name he brings shame to the Gullah. I'm glad he hid his roots, we don't wanna be associated with him either
Gullah culture was widely spread in the US in the 90s with the delightful show Gullah Gullah Island!! It was the cutest show!
I was a nanny when that was on the air, and it was one of only a very few things I would let my babies watch while I was there. I can still remember, "I love to get my hair cut. Yes, I do!" 🎶😊
Homg this looked like such a fun exploration for you guys!!! I wish we had like famous damper foodie experiences in Australia to lure you over so we can be cool like the American cities. But seriously, the dance lesson looked like so much fun!!!
Living in the Charleston area, it was a joy watching y'all enjoying not just the food scene, but the city of Charleston as well! 🎉
I was super excited to see the boiled peanuts, we enjoy them here in South Africa all the time! 😌❤️
Just loved this, really loved it & appreciate the effort of all involved to make it so educational & fun. Looking forward to part 2!
Loved watching the guys’ effort with the Charleston dance.
Oh my gosh, I freaking love Hannibal's. It's awesome that they featured this gem.
And a @belowdeck crossover!!!! Already planning a drive down from Toronto in 2 weeks!
I’m from South Carolina and have followed your channel for over ten years. I never thought you guys would go to Charleston since it isn’t as big as Atlanta or Nashville. I am beyond thrilled you guys went and enjoyed it.
Is that Baker from Below Deck teaching the dancing?!?!
This has to be my favorite of all your videos, and I have seen a LOT of them.
FYI at 0:32 Charleston is further south than displayed. An overlay of the entire United States might have been more helpful here. That said, this was a lot of fun to watch. I live just north of there and it was wonderful to see your reactions to this food. I don't know about the quail or the cold green beans but everything else was on point for a sample of southern cuisine from that area. You guys could visit all 50 states and probably sample *very* different foods from each one. So hopefully there are many more videos to come. 😄
I'm from Charleston and was afraid a hurricane blew it further north at some point...
You could almost visit 50 different places in the South and get 50 distinct cuisines....
Honestly you could make 50 more videos in Charleston. They never got anywhere near BBQ, or pork more generally, and they barely touched on corn which is the staple of the traditional diet and deserved more attention or rice which is what made Charleston rich and is why Europeans brought Africans to the colonies against their will in the first place. I'm from the area and it would take me years to do justice to the food in videos or in words.
Found the perfect comment!!! I had to pause like 7 times and was like Wtf, which Charleston yall at? 😂
YES LADS! Love your travel series, looking forward to the rest of this :D
Gulla food may be how many people first learned about Gullah Geechee, but for those of us of a certain age from certain states, Gullah Gullah Island was the first ambassador. The couple behind that show did a good job introducing kids to the existence of Gullah Geecheee culture.
Right!? Like I've known about Gullah culture and people since I was a child. Gullah Gullah Island was such an amazing thing for children.
🐸 *Binyah Binyah!*
Yes! I love the travel videos and I am so extremely happy they are back!
It is surreal watching a sortedfood video where I recognize most of the locations... glad you boys had fun in Charleston and looking forward to part 2!
Love it guys! As a Southern cook I love seeing you try our food! Can't wait for the next video!! When you eat the boiled peanuts, crack them in your mouth where you don't lose all the juice!!
That moment when you shared the fried green tomatoes with the crew made me grin.
It's always fun to get to see the crew now and then! Thank you for all you do!
These types of videos are definitely an all time favourite!
Does someone want to tell Jamie and Mike that peanuts ARE legumes? 😂
What a great vid: loads of local knowledge, piled on with loads of enthusiasm and love for what you’re discovering, plus some fancy footwork at the end. Bravo, Sorted!!
