Dear Ireland, on behalf of all of Americans, we apologize for this. Please come to America and have yourself a proper southern meal. There are many variations in each southern state and they're all delicious.
YES!!!!!!
Belle Serra - Thank You!
Belle Serra I sincerely agree, Alabama here saying the same. I like the Irish.
Same here from Virginia !
Belle Serra agree because this is not gumbo lol. I live in Mississippi, and live 45 minutes from New Orleans. That is NOT gumbo at all. Really all of the meals were poorly portrayed
If grits are being mistaken for custard, then they are most DEFINITELY not prepared correctly.
iflyTony Word lol
Exactly
I've heard of people putting sugar on their grits. Maybe that's what they did. I prefer butter and cheese
IKR!!!!!
Make grits using chicken or beef broth. Those are just boring.
As a southern Georgia man, I'd like to speak for all southerners by saying, the food in this video is a sorry excuse for southern cooking. If they had real southern soul food, they wouldn't even be talking. They'd be in heavenly bliss.
damndisplace07 I’m a born & raised South GA lady and I 100% agree with you!
Thank U.
Habersham county agrees, brother!
Bama girl here. I agree completely!
Amen
No real Southern cooks were consulted in the making of this video.
Obviously !!! And I'm not even sure they used real Irish people , since there is a profound influence from them in the south.
No Americans are consulted. In any videos. Noone eats hamburgers without condiments...or pickles...or tomatoes...peppers or mushrooms or cheese. Just as an example
@@tessbrex3823 who the f*** eats a burger without condiments?
@@ironyinc3453 Noone I know.
You'll better consult people who actually cook the food you're saying comes from the US. What I see doesn't resemble anything you say its supposed to be!
No biscuits 'n gravy? No sweet Tea? No chicken and dumplings? No cornbread? And who in Lord's name eats plain grits?
They've done biscuits and gravy several other times. Unfortunately the biscuits and gravy they served them was an abomination not worthy of the name but still, been done.
Absolutely right. On all counts. And nobody eats grits by themselves. Even a southerner would turn their nose up at that.
Grits with brown sugar...mmm...I'd eat a Jethro Bodine size bowl of them.
Right, I was thinking the same thing!
Andrew amen
I can't even think of anything to say. This whole video was unseasoned. -From Georgia
😁
😥
😂😂😂😂
@C caymer They're Irish...
Atlanta here and I couldn't agree more! 😂
Born, raised, currently live in Tennessee and I've never seen grits that look like that.
That's because they forgot the #1 ingredient in southern food. Excessive amounts of butter.
I do like the fuck out of some butter! :)
that look like some mash potatoes
The #1 ingredient in Southern food is actually bacon grease, and butter is actually just a utensil.
+Bob Papadopoulos 😂💀
Now who in God’s green earth cooked that and dared to call that “southern food”. On behalf of all the southern states we do not claim that food
On behalf of all the countries south of the US, we'd like to return it to sender
REAL tater tot hot dish (not that xxxx) comes from MN and is so good.
From Alabama: that shit looked nasty.
From NC... I do not approve.
On behalf of the US we do not claim that crap
Please just send them to America to try properly cooked Southern food
Yea, The Irish Taste Tour.
Well, dammit, bring them to Georgia and I'll COOK THE FOOD. I saw nothing prepared the way I've known it to be prepared all my 54 years.
That's a dumbass comment.
My God, what a stunning response, how absolutely crushing. I'll bet you were first in your rhetoric class at the community college. We don't see intellects like yours very often. Unless, that is, we frequent the drive-through windows at McDonalds or some such employer of losers.
You obviously have the IQ of a gnat, which matches your reading comprehension as well. Go away, little fly.
My southern soul is crying because of the food they were given. 😥😭
Seriously, it was the most depressing presentation of southern food possible. Whoever cooked that food has been in Ireland for too long. I’m not even southern nor American and I also wept after seeing this video.
Where tf was the BBQ
judyvg2000 right like what the hell
This was a Yankee trying to cook our food. Just disrespectful
I'm more applaud by the fact that they dared to serve this food without a glass of sweet tea.
First if you have to chew any green leaf veggies for awhile then it wasn't cooked right. NOBODY from the south use chicken stock as "pot liquor". You flavor the water by cooking smoked meat until they fall apart in the water then add whatever greens you plan to cook. If you have to chew more than 3 times.. "it ain't done" 😎🤗🤗😎
I grew up with my mom using ham hocks, but I found a recipe that used bacon. Now when I make greens, I fry a few pieces of bacon with garlic and pour in the water and greens with chili flakes and let it simmer for a while. It definitely should not be chewy. My mom loves it and my fiance and little sister likes it better than my mom's. (Don't tell her that though) lol
@@Gabriellaella23I do what is called a quick pot liquor. Take about half an package of smoked bacon and mince it and drop it and your seasonings into the water that you plan to cook the greens in. Cook until tender not chewy
@@ericnathan9843 that sounds good too!
Preach!
So true
As someone who grew up in the South, a part of me died inside while watching this video.
True. Plus, they should've called this southeastern food. 😒 Kinda. Those grits looked...horrid and why is there no BBQ, biscuits n gravy or something? As a Texan, I'm disappointed
@@christina113704 As someone from the Southeast, I concur. We do not cook grits like that, though. I have never put milk in grits; just water, pieces of bacon or sausage, salt and lots of butter.
@@agirlfromcapella I prefer jalapeño cheesy grits. I never use milk.🤷🏻. Oklahoma
Calling gizzards part of the digestive tract was looking nd of a stretch
And that was not tatertot casserole
Baby I have lived in the South all my life and these dishes aren’t it , the gumbo isn’t made right...nobody is eating tator tot casserole & grits aren’t cooked right either .
They're irish......
Wesley luvs Oktoberfest okay...and ?
@@alexiswarren8161 They're irish and attempting to cook southern food. Need I say more?
Wesley luvs Oktoberfest No because I don’t know why you said something in the first place 💀
The casserole is more Midwest then southern
WHERE ARE THE BISCUITS AND GRAVY? THE BRISKET? THE CORN ON THE COB? THE PEACH COBBLER? THE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS?
That's exactly what I was expecting. Whoever supplied the Southern food is definitely not from the South.
... and the chittlins. I'D have a heart attack from laughing if they had that...lol
Kate Zimmerman the crawfish etouffée
Most importantly THE CHICKEN FRIED STEAL
What about the boudin or cracklins.
I'm Southern. (South Carolina) I've never had most of what's on here. Collard greens and grits are fine but everything else is off base. Gumbo is southern but it's mainly a dish in Louisiana. You need some black eyed peas, " fat back" ,okra, country ham, buttermilk biscuits,sweet potatoes,hush puppies,chicken fried steak,corn bread,cobblers,chitlins (dont ever eat this),white gravy,baked mac and cheese,boiled peanuts,chicken and dumplings,sweet iced tea,fried green tomatoes,fried pickles,coleslaw, fried pork rinds,fried "crackilns" (same as rinds but smaller and more crunchy), And last but not least BBQ. Yes I know BBQ is every where but the best comes from the southern regions.
WolfsBlood44 you forgot hoghead cheese.
hit the nail on the head
completely agree.
WolfsBlood44 Texas. The best barbecue comes from Texas.
WolfsBlood44 what the fuck are you talking about. I'm from the south too and Collard Greens, Chicken Gizzards and Livers are definitely a southern staple. we eat everything from the Rooty to the tooty.
Y’all need to redo this episode with real southern food. NOONE eats plain grits
THANK YOU! I came looking for this comment. 😂
FACTS!!!!
Do y’all put milk in your grades
@@nigeltipton7835
2 cups milk
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup ground cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
@@lori5353 that’s cheese grits ya bum
Pecan pie? Peach cobbler? Barbecue, either Texas sauce style or Tennessee dry rub style? Fried okra? Homemade biscuits and sausage gravy? Corn fritters? Mississippi fried catfish? Cheese grits? Kansas brisket?
NONE of these things???
Agreed major fail.. not even Sweet tea!
Take these folks to a Golden Corral and even that would blow this crap they’re being given out of the water.
The Usher....I know..........what the heck!! Where is all the good stuff in this video????
Exactly

THAT IS NOT GUMBO!!! Oh my goodness gracious, as a Louisiana girl through and through, that truly made me sad! I hate when our amazing delicious food is misrepresented!
Miriam Mince you can't get Louisiana food unless you're in Louisiana. You can't even get it in Mississippi. It's arguably America's most distinctive regional cuisine. No surprise that it didn't cross the Atlantic in its authentic form.
Thank you, someone pointed out the gumbo! That shit looks like a Minestrone soup. Not a thick, hearty bowl of gumbo like it should be.
I was thinking same thing.
Miriam Mince there is no competition, so please have no fear. Lousiana GUMBO....HOTDAMN!! Can I get me some chicken sausage or crab up in ther, can there be a little spillage too?
I thought the same thing. I saw no rice no andouille, and that description of just four ingredients was so pale. I hope my Mawmaw never see's this video.
Who on earth cooks these foods to try? I'm born and raised Southern, and none of these were prepared the way I was taught, or looked anything like they should have. I wish I could invite you participants to visit me and eat REAL Southern food!
I know right lol. especially those grits lol
You know from watching these videos I realize that the irish people making these videos are the ones that have to cook the food for the people to try because they are foods not commonly found in ireland. They often don't know themselves how the food should be, I'm sure they just go off what they find on the internet. The only times the food seems legit is when it's bought at a restaurant.
my grandma would be kicking whomever cooked those grits out of her kitchen
Who puts MILK on grits??? We do butter, salt and pepper. Sometimes cheese melted in. I bet it was bland and tasteless with milk.
+crazzynez ... and as someone who grew up eating Cajun food, even restaurants rarely get Cajun food right if they aren't in south Louisiana. I always thought of gumbo as a Cajun dish, not a southern one, and I've never had shrimp and sausage gumbo. Chicken and sausage yes, shrimp yes, but shrimp and sausage just don't go together in my mind. 😁
The thing about grits is that, like ricotta cheese, absorbes the flavors of everything around it. I love grits with butter, salt, garlic, and chedder.
That's the whole thing. You are doing ti right by adding stuff. Here is a misrepresentation of how grits are eaten, which would be, with something else.
Dude with the long hair was so positive and open minded, he is welcome here anytime!!!
Damn star girl remi=🔥😘👍
Lol hes ate some southern food before hahaha
Yes, I just adore him. He is always my favorite.
Who ever made that gumbo should be arrested ASAP
Suga Babez.....I agree!! That was awful looking and I bet the taste was no better then the look!!
With the maximum sentencing
Most people think that all of the food ESPECIALLY Gumbo is spicey lol
Death penalty
they should be arrested for just serving it with out rice, alone.... the look of it should get them life with out parole.
Wha??? Who's preparing these Southern US dishes? Grits are not true grits unless they are also served with a pat of butter and a dash of salt and pepper... no wonder they thought the grits were bland!
Or with cheese! Omg grits with cheese is one of my favorite breakfast foods!
+Doommagic - Yes! Almost forgot... how could I forget cheese grits!
Or sausage gravy, or sugar, or maple syrup, or shrimp... T-T Grits are SO versatile!
ChaoticButterfly Sugar in grits? What is this witchery?! O_o I've had maple syrup accidentally seep into my grits, but it wasn't a flavor I ever enjoyed together.
Doommagic
I actually like sweet grits. Not as often as I care for savory, but sometimes it's nice. Maybe it's the Native in me.
From the New Orleans, Louisiana area. That ain't gumbo and those grits were tragic. The Irish side of my ancestry is crying that I can't can't help these kids see what they're missing. Jaysus.
That gumbo was a bright orange color I’ve never seen before and those grits looked like a cold solid brick, and then she said it smelled sweet, that’s when I KNEW they must’ve let somebody from Mississippi cook cuz they do put sugar in grits
I grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana. These people have brought SHAME upon their kitchens. Gumbo should have a dark green color, it shouldn't look like chicken broth. Don't even get me STARTED on the grits.
"No self respecting Southerner eats instant grits."
Nor reads many books, don't forget that part.
😂
@Root 66 why must these simpletons insist that southerners are dumb cows?
Lee made himself out to be a fool, trying to be clever in his shit cliche.
"Were they MAGIC grits??" ...made by caltech scientists and NASA engineers. 🤣
Do they have real Americans cook these dishes? Like a true Southerner should've did this. Would've had these folks tryna move here lol.
Seriously, that gumbo looked some skimp ass bullshit lol
so I've seen a few of these videos and even the people who film it don't really understand what we do here (everyone is apparently Irish) and they find the closest subsitute they can in Ireland so no they usually don't make it right and it's often from a can or frozen
Tj Benson yeah they would taste the soul!
If a true southerner served this to me, I'd wonder what I did to piss them off, this was the food equivalent of bless your heart.
That "gumbo" looked more like Bourbon Street street fluids during Mardi Gras.
Yeah and where is the rice ?
Omg 😂
never trust a gumbo that you can't see okra wheels in...
That was a sorrrrry excuse for gumbo
it doesnt even look like they bothered with a roux
Y'all did you get this from the Southern part of another planet? 💀
Right ? I saw the gumbo and almost died
There is no planet that was a tatertot casserole either
Excuse me...
Has anyone noticed the stunning Blond
version of Kate Bekinsale?!!!
OMG!!!! Ok, back to who eats what, where, why, and 😴
Who decides the menu and most importantly who prepares the food? The only thing southern in the food preparation was the title.
For real lol this is not on earth
Irish People Try (the worst) Southern Food For The First Time
I mean, really? No BBQ???
They devoted an entire video to Irish People Trying BBQ, so I guess they didn't want to be too repetitive? *shrug*
No Crayfish????
Barbecue is southern food? Since when?
Oculus Orbus it's not a good belonging to the south but it's a staple of southern cuisine.
+Oculus Orbus BBQ originated in Texas...
what about cornbread, Mac and cheese, fried chicken, pinto beans? That stuff was NOT southern food! At least from my part of Alabama
ah a fellow alabamian. Yeah this was a load of shit lol
LOL never mind, I misunderstood your perfectly good comment, edited. Yeah, I missed those foods too!
Everyone in the world had mac n cheese, this is about trying things they have not before lol
The tater tots casserole I've always thought if as Midwestern but everything else is pretty southern. I'm from Alabama as well, lived in both North and South AL and while the quality seems questionable, the selection is very southern.
Not NC either
THE DISRESPECT SHOWN TO THEM GREENS 😤
Thank you I asked my husband who cooked this crap
Grandma's locking someone's ass and getting the cook exorcised. 🤣
Joshua Mundy sorry but as a southern woman born and raised in Florida you can keep your greens and okra! Yuck!
most people dont know how to prepare greens. My mom minces the green very fine with a circular chopped. They m,elt in your mouth no need to chew. If greens are prepared right they can be very addicting.
Judging by the offerings and the appearance, the cook should be shot. Other than that, I am shocked to learn that the Irish have never eaten "greens" of any kind, other than cabbage. Grits without lashings of butter are actually against the law... just saying.
The guy in blue (long hair) was so uplifting and made the best out of each dish. Great attitude!
His name is Irish Jesus and he is pretty cool
I'm from Tennessee, and I can tell you now, this "southern food" isn't made right at all. Someone didn't do their research right.
A drunk Scotsman is pranking them
From Earth Tennessee and this is the way we made things
From East.. friggin auto correct
Well Tennessee isn't southern. Tennessee is a Yankee state. Come to Texas because if you aren't from Texas you are a Yankee
Tennessee definitely didn't fight for the south during the civil war or send 30,000 volunteers to Texas to help you fight Mexico after you true southerners lost the Alamo.
As a Southerner, I feel qualified to comment, that I don't feel Southern food was represented well here in this video. For example, N'Orleans' food is not exactly called Southern as much as it is Cajun. We do not put milk in our grits. Where is the corn bread? We don't eat collards by themselves, and traditionally they have fat back or hamhocks in them. Also, how can you call it eating "Southern" without a tall glass of sweet iced tea? My southern family also has food traditions from German and Irish influences, as well as Southern US influences. Anyways - Happy Eating!
michelle england I've actually used milk before 1/2 water 1/2 milk instead of all water. I don't do it all the time, but it's really good.
Might I also add the fact that there was no cheese on the grits. and the most loved southern food in my family that was not here was fried chicken, mashed potato and gravy with a side of fried okra, good ol grandmas corn bread, sweet iced tea, and apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
michelle england. Exactly. Can't forget that sweet tea!
Sweet tea is a must, along with country fried steak and cornbread
I use cream or milk along with the water when I'm cooking stone ground grits or making rich cheese grits for shrimp and grits or grit fritters. If I'm just making a pot of grits for breakfast on Saturday, it's just water. I agree with you, though, this was a pretty poor showing of Southern food.
Irish People Try A Californian Who Has Never Been To The South's Impersonation Of Southern Food For The First Time...
oggyreidmore on point
Facts
Jeremiah Turner nailed it
Not even from the south and I know this ain’t southern food
I am and you are correct.
How to eat grits. Boil them in water. stir occasionally. When they've become creamy & not hard kernels, add butter & salt. Stir in cheddar cheese & you're good to go. Ignore crazy people that like sugar on theirs
sweetncool I live in the south and have never in my life put sugar on grits and never will, they're not supposed to be sweet, they're supposed to be savory.
Sugar? Wth?!! People do that?! WHY?!??
Hot sauce sure but sugar? Gtfo
My parents were raised in NC and we were raised in GA. We put sugar and butter on our grits!
I was bred, born, and raised in AL, and I will only eat my grits with butter and sugar. My family has lived in the same county for over a century, and that's the only way my family has eaten them since 1892.
Next time have actual Southerners cook the food! LOL! That looked like a southern impersonation of food!
alexxdaye1 that’s an embarrassment to even the imitation southern food
Right? No bbq, actual fried chicken, non plain grits (shrimp n grits, cheese grits, cinnamon with butter grits), greens with ham hocks, oxtails,) etc
Agreed. KY native here. That food looked like shite.
The grits made me want to cry 😂 they got fed boiled corn meal
I was sucipious after the gumbo. Like gumbo is a complex dish they had only three things in it 😂😂
I live in Louisiana where gumbo is made. I can guarantee that is NOT even close to gumbo!
Exactly! I was about reach through the screen and make actual gumbo
Miranda Anthony like wtf kind of half assed gumbo is that?
I will give ya'll props where it's due my next door neighbors ( I'm in Texas ) makes the BEST gumbo it's an original Louisiana creation
If that is gumbo than my Cajun ass life is one big lie!!!! That "Gumbo" presentation is SO uncomfortable...
All I have to say, whoever came up with this without consulting a true southerner is bless your heart
I was born and raised in ALABAMA. What in the world is tater tot casserole? No oven baked macaroni and cheese? Where’s the fried pork chops? Sweet corn bread? Potato salad? Fried okra? Catfish with hot sauce, mustard and a touch of ketchup? Yams? Dressing? Shrimp and THICK grits? Butter beans and pig tails? SWEET TEA? Come on now! Smh. Let me throw down and send a few plates to Ireland
Can you throw down and send some to Ohio please and thank you
@@dianacalhou7763 Send Boudain, Nacotish meatpies, A red beans and rice recipe (Or a box of Zatarans), beignet mix (Preferably cafe du monde), Jambalya, Etouffe, An actual po boy...(They screwed us on that one -_- Boiled shrimp? wtf...)
Sure Texas could do well also, Chicken fried steak (With sawmill gravy)? Yes please!
The south has amazing food, don't do us dirty with this stuff.
Yes "soul food" (even though they screwed a lot of that up..., Feel sorry for those that grew up on that and had that representing them...) can be good, But the south is known for more than that.
Clearly that food wasn't cooked in my kitchen by me...
Ashley Colston, Sweet corn bread ain't southern! I live in the south, so I know! Sugar in the cornbread is an ABOMINATION! Sugar goes in the TEA!
I'm from Philly and what you wrote sounds good.
That was NOT gumbo!!!! (Coming from a Louisiana native)
Thank YOU! how is gumbo light brown like that? lol
Gregory Louis looked like some progresso soup smh
CurlyisConfident right!
Same here, i live in Louisiana and when i saw that "Gumbo" i felt insulted that was considered as Gumbo.
CurlyisConfident LOOKS JUST LIKE IT😂😭💀💀
Bacon bits and chicken stock in collard greens..... No ma'am
Hamhock, ham bone, neck bone, turkey neck and salt pork.
Who the hell cooked the grits???
Mississippians are very disappointed!
😲😲😲😲😲😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱✋✋✋✋✋✋😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😕👀👀👀👀✌
Yes ma'am I'm on my way.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
true to that but I also like to add bacon if I dont have salted pork
I do not use chicken broth / stock in my collards. I use smoked, thick - cut bacon or ham hock, salt and boiling water. I've never seen a peach and pecan cobbler in my life and what were they doing using a biscuit as a basis for strawberry shortcake? Where is the fried chicken? I'm not talking about fried chicken gizzards either! Grits I cook with water not milk, add some cheese or butter.
By the way, I was born and raised in North Carolina, so I know a thing or three about Southern cooking.
I knew this video was going nowhere good when they introduced gumbo with 4 ingredients
no rice in the gumbo? wtf you use rice with gumbo
Andy47357 that's what I was saying
Bet money that whoever cooked this food isn't even from the South.
lol, i was looking at the bowl thinking something was wrong with it. Couldn't put my finger on it. TY.
I was thinking the same thing...
No rice in gumbo. Where are you from? Not the southeast where gumbo was born.
Collard green aren't supposed to be chewy
Exactly!
Santana Perkins. Thank You!
We got some Collard Green connoisseurs up in this piece. I agree.
Ever had collard greens from a restaurant? Those be chewy af, it just aint right but they manage it.
Adolf Hitler No, but I have been to a family member's house who made some chewy greens, never ate there again.
That gumbo looks depressing it was missing so much lol
Brittany Marshall like onions celery gator and so much more can be put in it
I know right.........OMG, I love gumbo and I wouldn't eat that either. It looks so watery and tasteless..........no color.
They didn’t even eat it over rice .
It was missing its soul. It looked like consomme with a couple veggie shreds floating around in it.
I swear lol so disrespectful to gumbo SMH
Never in my lifetime did I ever put milk in my grits. Dont care to now.
NOBODY in the south approves of this foolishness ya'll gave them. Bless their hearts SMH.
You have to start slowly .. you don’t want to go straight to chitlins.
This is NOT southern food. Somebody tried to make it but failed. Who puts chili in collard greens 🤦🏾♀️
Vinegar and salt in greens.
Lots of people put datil pepper vinegar on collards.
It's delicious it's just so not traditional
Chili ? I missed that ... I luvs me some chili but who the F'*** would do that ?
Did some idiot think that corn bread with greens and corn bread with chili would equal chili and greens ???
Come to think of it ... did we even see corn bread in this video ?
That’s what I said wtf
As a New Orleanian, I'm insulted by that bowl of gumbo, it looks depressing af...
Seriously, that was not gumbo no rice or sausage. Almost none of the food was prepared traditionally.
and the grits who just eats grits with nothing in it
Jesus Christ, I was thinking the same thing. That is NOT gumbo, it's an insult to gumbo. No file? No rice? Wth?!
I'm from the south and I've never had a chicken gizzard in my mouth.
Oklahoma here, and ya never ever
They're alright, depending on where you get them from.
@@theconstitutionalist8482 I mean, I've probably had turkey gizzard, but it was cooked, chopped up, and put in giblet gravy.
In Louisiana we had that once a week. Much better fried than put in gravy. The crust hides the texture and holds on to the salt hahah
As a Texan I can vouch and say none of this shit was southern food. No effort put into any dish, no proper preparation
Texan food is to Southern food as landfills are to Yosemite national park. I.e., shite.
So... I'm from the south. As someone who was raised on authentic southern food, but who is now a vegan going on 3-4 years even I am offended by this. My great grandma is rolling in her grave right now over this mockery. If she were still alive and someone presented any of these "food items" to her she would say "Bless your heart, sweet pea!" and laugh hysterically at them. This is so far from southern cooking that I am embarrassed for all who made and contributed to this video. 😂
Relax dear
No one gives a shit you're vegan
@@vanillabean7832 why is she insulting the video...
@@kiwibird8441 Because the food looks awful and I agree. Poor people who had to eat that didn’t get the true Southern taste
@@kiwibird8441 because it’s not southern food.
They fed them just plain ass grits?? Really?? DA FUG DOH???
They should have been all over that. Ever had Irish food? It is either boiled for days until no flavor is left and it is just mush or it is like tongue punching the fart box of a sheep.
+skillcoiler You haven't had proper Irish food then, my uncle's entire family visits there frequently, the food's fantastic. Yer off your rocker mate.
Shadow Dragon Comms. No, they just like the taste of a sheep's ass apparently. . I mean it is not as bad as Scottish food but is that really anything worth bragging about?
skillcoiler You must've gone to the worst places in Ireland then, because that's sure not how the Irish food my family's had is. Sorry you got shafted.
Ya like your suppose to put some butter and LOTS of salt or else they taste like crap
It’s...it’s like somebody didn’t feel like cooking or doing any research....you deserve to sample actual southern food. Poor things.
Born and raised in the south eating the most traditional southern food. I've yet to once in my life eat tattered tot casserole. I don't even know what the hell, it is.
Southern born and raised, and that's not proper southern food. Gumbo is generally thicker than that. Not that many people eat gizzards regularly anymore, maybe like once a year or more like every couple of years. Those grits didn't look right. The collards looked okay, but every southerner knows you've got to cook them a certain way, usually the way granny did. ...so I doubt they tasted right. And where's the cornbread? No southern meal is complete without cornbread, and there's lots of different ways to make it. Should've had a proper bowl of shrimp and grits, omg that's something that you have to try once before you die.
Squash casserole, pork chops or a thick slice of bone-in ham, greens with pepper sauce, some creamy skillet corn, southern style green beans or butter beans, candied yams, a thick slice of sweet yellow cornbread fresh out of the oven, and a tall ice cold glass of sweet tea. Mmmmm....a southern feast! ...and dont even get me started on a southern breakfast, omg I'm craving it now. To hell with my cholesterol, I've got to have some homemade buttermilk biscuits and gravy in the morning...and if you can still find anyone who cures their own meats, get them to do you some real southern sausage. You'll never find anything bought at a store that comes close in taste. I've only found a couple of people who still do it. Southern food can be very good, but it's so fattening. And different regions in the south have different kinds of food. Hell, sometimes in different parts of a single state you can find different types of southern food that's unique to just that area. But when you consider that Alabama alone is about the size of Ireland and all of the states that make up the south are about the size of Europe, I reckon that's to be expected.
Yep! All of this! When they brought out gumbo my first thought was that ain't Southern, that's Cajun or at least Louisianan, whole family does oatmeal and grits, I hate them both. And shrimp and grits,no thank you, but it is Southern, especially in the Low Country of SC.
But yeah, corn bread, biscuits and gravy, well.... biscuits with everything, especially butter and molasses! Dang, I wouldn't have eaten what they were offered. Bleh! And tater tot casserole? WTF???
@Andrew Haygood you sound like you are describing the things I love to cook. Except the cornbread, I have always done white corn meal in my cornbreads of any kind,meaning baked cornbread, fritters, hush puppies and breading my fish to fry. I've never tried the yellow, just grew up on the white corn meal. But other than that It
sounds like what I cook.
Those Grits need cheese, hot sauce and salt pork. Too bad they didn't get a big pile of Chitterlings. That would have been funny to watch.
Yellow corn bread ? Yuk man, that's Johnny cake, or as we refer to it, Yankee cornbread lol, cornbread is white corn meal, bacon grease and a shit ton of buttermilk !!! And for good measure, through in some cracklings
@@kchasehenson57 As I said in my comment to him, yellow or Jiffy cornbread is what we call Yankee cornbread lol, it's sweet and therefore referred to as sweet cornbread as well. We bake ours with Martha White self rising and add bacon grease with a shit ton of buttermilk and sometimes we through in cracklings:/ I'm in the North Carolina Mountains. Born & raised
Jesus has returned. And he's Irish.
Hail Irish Jesus
Someone I work with dressed up as a Jedi for a Halloween party and I thought he was Jesus
Oi! Fuck you m8, I'm not a bloody Irishman. I'm a fucking Ozzie.
If Jesus came back and he's Irish, is it a sin to kiss him as the slogan says, "Kiss me I'm Irish"?
Or is that a faster way to heaven?
Guys, get a southern BBQ chef to travel to you and cook. Do this video again.
Loved the reaction that guy had to the grits,
if you actually wanna try southern food go more towards soul food, not Cajun.
try stuff like country ham, country fried steak, collard greens, fat back, fried green tomatoes, green beans and ham hocks, stuff like that. grits is almost the only thing y'all had that we actually eat.
I'm hungry now. Some liver podding, scrambled eggs, and grits mixed together is an amazing meal.
Country ham is basically Irish bacon. I've been to Ireland. I ordered bacon and it was country ham, salt and all.
ultimateXinfinite z Is Florida southern?
I'm from Florida. It's almost like a reversed microcosm of the United States. The further north you are, the more in the south you are. So, northern Florida, definitely southern. Sweet tea, grits, monster pickups with rebel flags. The whole deal. Down here in south Florida, it's almost civilized.
Paul TheSkeptic Idk about calling it more civilized 😂, but I know what you mean upstate Florida is definitely country as hell and southern Florida is a huge mix of cultures.
The guy with the beard and the beard shirt is my fav. cuz he always finishes his food and I find that oddly satisfying
Curious, are you also like me and get annoyed at just about every show and movie where they start eating a big dinner, take one bite, then dinner's over?
Who decided this was Southern food? Some intern from Jersey?
Nic Phillips 🤣
An intern in Ireland
True Dat !
@Ms. Royal Blue cause it's not the south
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The dude with long hair is totally right, having samplings of individual dishes does not describe the whole meal when presented together, you get a plate piled high, sitting on a park bench overlooking the shore in Louisiana with moms cookin' on your plate? your in heaven!
That's not gumbo...
you don't put chili in collard greens lol what the heck..
I've never seen anyone do that 😱
thats what i said lol
Chili = peppers, in Ireland. I do like mine a little spicy and will use cayenne or bird's eye chili in greens.
You ABSOLUTELY put chili pepper flakes in collard greens
I am trying to see if they mean chili like just the pepper, or chili like the dish. I am assuming they mean pepper. I have had it a decent amount of times with pepper flakes and/or hot sauce in it - so possibly that is all they meant?
They probably fucked up the grits
Of course they fucked up grits!!! Who just puts milk and water in grits??? Jesus
its also very thin, how'd you fuck that up?
Mason Vaughn No salt, no butter...wth?
the gumbo color looked crap too
of course they did they had no butter or cheese
Hahahaha as soon as they recognize a potato "ITS IRISH!"🤣
The ingredients for grits are milk, grits, and water. 404 error: page not found
where is the GRAVY
😂😂😂
No the ingredients are water salt grits. Boil till done then add pepper, n butter with a fried egg on top. Or leave off the egg n eat with fried fish
No s*** right where's the bacon grease where's the cheese where's the spice where's the shrimp where's the sausage. So many different things you can do with grits.
Literally just died! 😂
no BBQ?? PS no true southern eats grits alone...its made to be mixed w/ egg etc. Cool vid! thxs
Not even a starving dog would eat plain grits.
it so funny cause its true
I eat grits with butter... and that's all
All good grits need is a bit of butter and maybe some salt.
only if i had nothing to mix in with it...but grits are made for eggs!
I'm Southern....I don't know if I would call a tater tot casserole a southern food. I could have thought of many more iconic southern food choices to have chosen from. Like Red-Eye Gravy!! Yes please!
my daughters Collard green aren't chewy, she lets them simmer 6 to 8 hours, i could eat a barrel full of her collard greens .
they need to simmer a long time so they aren't chewy, the longer you cook them, the better they taste
My daughter puts bacon grease in her collards! They are heavenly!
I am very sad that you guys were not able to taste a true southern dish. I'm sad and mad for you all! Also mad for southerners because we were DEFINITELY misrepresented!
1btyflflwr it seemed like hateful yank producers.
@@justinheiman6662 yep, this is their stereotypical caricature of what southern food is.
Bad representation "FACTS"! Grits are never ate plain! That Gumbo looked so, so weak and Tater Tot Casserole??? Maybe Southern "New Hampshire" lol
SgtToughLove Definitely Minnesota
Ya cheese grits are the best. My grandma makes them all the time- Georgia
I felt the same way about the tater tot casserole. Geez. We don't eat that down here. I know it's gotta be hard to make those dishes if you weren't raised on them. Best way to do this would be find an authentic southern cook or chef that can take the raw ingredients and truly create what we eat.
also, no livermush?
Eaten plain not ate plain.
And Southerners wonder why they have a reputation of stupidity.
Grits in Georgia are about half cheese.
Texas is butter, salt, pepper..... And for breakfast is butter and sugar!
North Carolina is a little bit of cheese and black pepper
I know my ohio grits are a pinch of cayenne, a ton of cheddar cheese, black pepper and either a small shot of mustard or a couple tsp of mustard powder
Adam Schneider That sounds goood!
I'm from Georgia we like eggs bacon in are grits with some salt and pepper not lots of cheese but hey it might be the area I'm from the coastal part
I'm really glad that every comment shares my distaste for their "southern food" Bless their hearts for trying but these poor people ate crap. That gumbo was way too watery and the eff puts chile pepper in collards?! Onion, ham hock but not chile pepper!
i put a pinch of crushed red pepper but not chile🤷🏻♀️
Whoever made those grits did them a disservice. You can't just give them plain grits. You gotta put some butter, salt and pepper, maybe some shrimp up in there.
ZombieTex I knew that's how you can eat grits! My former coworkers thought I was weird.
Eating plain grits like that is like eating spaghetti without any sauce ... just plain boiled noodles with nothing on them. Who would do that?
ZombieTex or honey and blueberries
them grits are also missing some sausage gravy, bacon, eggs, and cheese all up in there. thats how ya do it.
+Rebekah Thomas exactly or shrimp
Tater tot casserole is a Minnesota dish not southern. From MN & lived in the south, never saw Tater tot casserole in the south.
And it's called Tater tot HOTDISH here in MN, NOT Tater tot 'casserole.' Thank you for representing MN!
You didn't live in Oklahoma, we eat tater tot casserole.
Sorry Scott, true I lived in FL but my friend in Tulsa hasn't heard of it either. It might be a OK regional thing too.
@@j.l.5958 it's possible. I'm 37 and have eaten ttc my entire life. Either way, it's delicious. Tell your friend they're missing out. 😁
We dont eat it in Texas!
Chicken stock and chili in collards?! Where's the fatback or ham hocks?! You cook with those along with the collards to give them flavor instead of using chicken stock. Then add some hot sauce and/or Tabasco sauce when serving along with some cornbread.
Milk in GRITS?! It's not oatmeal or porridge. LOL Cheese would have been better if you want some creaminess to it. Use white cheese if you don't want it looking yellow. You can even throw in some bacon with it or in it along with a yummy biscuit on the side.
Good southern food has a lot of soul in it. That's what we in the Deep South call "Soul Food." I have no idea what you call some of what you just served. My family and friends would laugh at you if you served that stuff to us. LMAO
Amen. I'd call that slop. About the only thing right was the gizzards.
Nothing's better on greens than pepper sauce (spicy peppers canned in a jar of vinegar for months/years then use the vinegar from it on your greens).
hell yeah! Where's the cornbread or fritter to sop with?? with a dash of vinegar or chowchow?
We have gumbo every Christmas Eve. My favorite and most looked toward meal of the year! Gizzards are great. Lots of Irish folks settled down south couple hundred years ago. (I am a descendant of such fine folk.) This is so far the best menu for different areas ever. Welcome to the Gulf Coast, y'all!
As a South Louisiana native, I give my deepest condolences for you eating whatever that dishwater they tried to pass off as Gumbo was...
Edit: By South Louisiana native I mean Cajun, not Indian just btw. Realized that might be misinterpreted.
As a Cajun, I'd have to agree. My aunt on my mother's side would be embarrassed to eat it herself. I'm more Irish than Cajun but grew up in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Like really this was not southern food. At all. Strange grits with zero butter and milk?!...collard greens straight from a can, seasoned-less and likely tasting of despair ...nan(yes, nan) piece of cornbread like...who is responsible for this utter disrespect? 🤦
And not even any rice. Kind of looked like a thin tomato soup.
Thank you!!!! I don't know what that was but it was NOT gumbo. Lord have mercy. That looked worse than the gumbo with the kale in it and that's pretty bad.
Yassss Lewis, I'm a Cajun and the second I saw some drip off that spoon I was like...nawwww, Is this s joke? The color wasn't even right.
All the southern ppl including me mad as hell for this..... STOP GIVING PPL UN SEASONED FOOD AND SAY IT'S FROM WHERE EVER...KNOWING GOODNESS WELL THAT'S NOT HOW WE MAKE IT ORIGINALLY
Exactly!! Imitation southern food is the worst unless you're from the south u just can't do it right. We use tons of salt and butter and just unhealthy stuff that makes it so flavorful and delicious. Yet everyone else uses healthier substitutes that completely ruin the dish. Like plain grits are u kidding me? My grits are made with pretty much half water and half butter they come out so yellow and delicious no one would ever think it's custard
😂😂😂😂😂 Those grits were shameful!
@@sharon8658 omg don't remind me 😂😂😂😂 smh
Right grits are thick not custardy lol
Stop complaining and just watch the dam video.
None of this was made by real southern ppl..
You are 100% correct!!!
and it makes a HUGE difference. Hope they change their way of doing these. Grits with no butter ??!! blasphemy ! And most Don't put milk, that would be cream of wheat cereal. But, some do, it's just not common.
No way my mother would serve tough collards
Exactly
@Root 66 only time I heard my mother swear (in front of company 🙄) a guest ask for jam for her grits.
Love the Irish accent so much! Only time I've actually liked the sound of my name was when my Irish uncle said it.
Honey, I"m a Southerner thru and thru, and if ANY of these dishes are "Southern"...then Grits ain't Groceries! True southerners will understand what I just said.
And chicken ain't poultry
And you wont find ANY southerner referring to Shrimp as a Prawn!
Never!!!
Jennah C. Bailey At that moment I saw where this video was going😭
@@NiagaraRapids12 😂🤣 right! Give them folks some gator and 'chittlins' (coastal Alabama southerner here)
Literally none of these dishes were fixed correctly
True! The cook must have been from Southern Indiana or Southern Illinois!
I know you're a southerner like me for real because you said "fixed."
grits needed salt, pepper and butter without it I'm sure it was bland as hell
Sugar!!
+Keith Murray and butter!
cheese!
+Keith Murray lol my family call those Yankee grits. Our next door neighbors always made theirs with sugar and they were from New York, so that kinda confirmed the name for us. Lol. No offense if your a northerner. Try them with salt, pepper, butter and some fried eggs or as suggested to me just now, country ham and gravy. :)
+Stephanie Hopkins haha yeah I've tried sugar too I like it, but I prefer the salt/pepper + butter combo best... it seems the sugar method is more a black folk thing, at least here in VA
For anybody wondering, "grits" is corn (maize). When ground to meal, parts of the corn are quite a bit harder. Those *grit*ty particles of corn are sifted out and use separately.
Hominy
The cook deffenitly has never been to the south
Yeah.....this is why I question anyone who does Cajun cooking outside of Louisiana...
Nick Williams that's for sure.
Wow... I've never seen someone screw up "definitely" so badly...
MTrefiner douche
De finite ly
Would totally cook for y'all. That was not a good representation of southern food. I never heard of milk in grits. Gross. Just water, salt, pepper, butter and cheese (optional)
I bet you Karen cooked this mess. Smh lol
I agree, these people missed out on some REAL southern cooking!
I think they confused grits with cream of wheat lol. I'm Italian and I know u don't put milk in grits or sugar!!! I saw someone put sugar in grits and almost lost it.
Add some garlic and serve it up with some fried catfish. That is Southern.
I’ve never been to the South but know that was a sorry excuse for southern food.
Anna Williamson dam right it was
Yes ma'am it was!
Yup
I'm mean no dishonour to you, but I'm from Georgia (deep-south), and yes, I'm Irish, but am from Georgia just the same, and none of that food is how we'd make it--no offense.
Come visit me and I'd be happy to make some real Southern food for you all (though in Georgia, they'd say "ya'll").
That gumbo looked like some canned chicken soup 😷
Damn Skippy
They are missing about 10 ingredients
As a native Louisianian, that gumbo needs help y’all. 😂 A lot of help.
@@samanthaleblanc4607 indeed as i am from opelousas
@Hunter ask
No kidding! I was in op like 20 minutes ago. Haha. High five for St. Landry Parish!
Omg grits need butter & cracked black pepper. Why no chicken & dumplings, fried okra, or sweet tea?
Dana B holy jesus yes fried okra is amazing👌👌👌👌👌
Dana B+
Because not everyone wants to be a fat ass.
Harpoon2theRescue these are real southern foods
Bacon grease for those grits is better than butter
Louder!
WHO TF COOKED THIS? This is NOT southern food whoever cooked this made us southerners look bad 😭
Stfu Ashley, Geez
Lol, your comment
Lol, your name!

Yes, my Little Boojie Pooh? ❤

Ava Love
Yes you are!
You are DancingSpiderMan's petite little Boojie Pooh! 😼👯👀👅😉
Just remember that a lot of Americans are Irish. The gizzards are a chicken's craw... It houses stones which grind the seeds they eat. Grits are corn and every one here puts butter on corn. Collard greens are better served with vinegar.
Lol somebody lyin’! Everything on that menu looked flavorless & nasty. 👀😂
Exactly
White people cooked it lol
🙄😒
Ooo chile! Lol
All facts... when i seen the gumbo i immediately thought FAIL.
Grits have to be served hot, with butter and salt. Maybe some black pepper. If they served them otherwise, it's not Southern
YES!!!!!!
saturnaliamiracle in Alabama we add butter, salt, pepper and cheese by the shitload. That's a real measurement ya know 🤣
In my house grits are like a condiment. They have to be eaten with other things. The best breakfast is to add salt, pepper, cheese, eggs, and bacon and mix it all together. Also a nice addition for dinner is fried fish and cheese. Plain grits with no added food need loads of seasoning and butter. Why was milk on the list of ingredients? Milk has no business being in grits. Lol.
sugar, butter, salt, and pepper. Cheese grits. Shrimp and grits.
cheese
There is no one way to make gumbo. Everyone does it their own way. Some do seafood and some do chicken and sausage. Some add okra and tomatoes and some leave them out. It's a spicy soup with rice that starts with a roux (oil and flour cooked to a desired color from peanut butter brown to dark fudge black) then water and meat is added. Rice is cooked on the side and mixed in bowls when ready to eat.
We always made ours with shrimp sausage tomato onion and poured it on corn on the cob. Honestly one of the best things ever
He had it right. Whatever's left over you make a gumbo.
When it gets close to 50° its Gumbo time.
Friends of mine make theirs chunky (full of seafood and sausage), same with their jambalaya. That gumbo in the video is a little weak... but #toeachtheirown
Roux is actually butter and flour, a faux roux is oil and flour.
I make mine with shrimp and sausage. I use file because I don't like okra. It comes in a pack at the store I go to and I only need 3 or 4 pods so the rest get tossed into the compost. I use Alton Browns recipe and it is one of my favorite things so cook.
Please anyone who has to drive home be careful. It's more important to the people who love you that you make home safe. My friend died in a car accident on his way home yesterday. Please be safe everyone.
