Biscuits and gravy is an American treasure
You don't have to wait until spring for ramps because most people who forage for them, also pickle them in jars. So if you know where to go, you can get them any time of the year
A WV resident born and raised and yes these are the most food most associated with us !
Love pepperoni rolls and West Virginia….👍
As a proud West Virginian, I gotta say you did a great job! Hope you enjoyed your time in WV.
I agree. It’s nice to have our beautiful State highlighted. Thank you.
Thank you. I do my best but it's impossible to cover everything. WV is one of my favorites! Good memories there and wonderful people.
@@bluebutterfly7233 sounds tasty!
I love me some scrapple. I didn’t know that it was a food from West Virginia. I first learned about it in New Jersey. I assumed that it was something from the south, like South Carolina or Georgia. I live in the northeast, and in the past 2-3 years I’ve found it in my supermarket. So I don’t have to go to South Jersey to get it anymore. I just don’t try to think about what it’s made from, because I love it so much. 😆😆
West Virginian here, amazing job promoting the delicious cuisine my home state has to offer! Apple butter on a fresh Tudor's Biscuit World biscuit is an awesome combo. Not as awesome as the venison jerky or biscuit and gravy, now that's good eatin'! But until now, I had no clue what scrapple was! I lived here my whole life and just found out about it!
Same here, she said it was in the Eastern part of the State. I moved to PA from WV for awhile and that's where I learned about scrapple. It's a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe, they brought over here with them. It's a breakfast food you fry like spam. It's nasty as all hell LOL. There are some TH-cam videos that show how it's made. (It's not for the faint of heart LOL)
Love you guys and your videos. Please take this in the spirit it is intended… West Virginians are very proud of their state. But we get super annoyed if someone refers to our state as Western Virginia. You skipped up at one point and said western Virginia. You could do a whole video about this topic itself. We hate it when people respond to you saying you are from WV by responding “ oh. I have a cousin from Richmond “. Our response is usually quite swift.. “ I am not from Virginia “. Lol
Love you guys. I know you can appreciate local norms and giving good advice to travellers. Xoxo
I grew up in PA, there's lots of scrapple up there. That was when I was a kid...I haven't had it in like 30 years now, but I see it all over whenever I go back home.
I grew up in Beckley! This definitely took me back home 🏡 Great job!
Hey y’all, we’re at the most recent place for people from not from West Virginia to tell people from not from West Virginia what West Virginia is all about. Cool!!
S/o biscuit world!! Loved that place when I’d visit my friends at WVU
I lived in Northern VA all my young life before moving and I was raised up on Scrapple. My father on Sundays made breakfast for the household and scrapple was usually an option.
You made the food look so much fun. The surroundings are so beautiful, thank you.
Southern cuisine is amazing. Despite being a chain (granted it's a local chain but still...), Tudor's Biscuit World food is incredible. From the buttery biscuits themselves to the variety of biscuit combinations to the sandwiches to the dinner platters, it seldom disappoints. Chicken fried steak (or country fried) is one of the best meals anywhere, bar none.
I'm from WV, but I live in Huntington and we have Hillbilly Hotdogs 1 of the best hotdog eateries in WV. (My personal opinion)
*scrapple and livermush* - Similar but different in flavor and texture but I really like both the way you described. Scrapple in Pennsylvania; livermush in North Carolina.
For awesome BBQ check out Chief's Smokin BBQ in Wellsburg, West Virginia.
Great video. I liked seeing Mark model the food. Thank you
People who watch your videos and haven’t traveled to the US must think Americans from coast to coast regularly eat biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak as they have graced many of your EATs episodes. 😆. (I do love both!)
They are well loved by many. I find that they vary (the gravy particularly) from place to place. I think school cafeterias ruined CFS for me though. 😆
@@WoltersWorldEats I’ve mentioned that I always have one side biscuit and gravy at just about every new (to me) breakfast joint when I’m traveling and yes, the gravy varies greatly. Check this. One diner (I can’t recall the city) served their B&G with the turkey gravy they used for their hot open faced turkey sandwich. Hahaha. It was so odd.
@@tosht2515 I've never had turkey gravy. Can't be too far off chicken gravy but that too isn't common on bng.
You can't miss with the most delicious food at Chief's Smokin BBQ in Wellsburg, West Virginia.
I've lived in West Virginia my entire life couple things I grew up with cornbread and buttermilk it's literally what it sounds you take cornbread and you put it in buttermilk you make kind of like a do and you eat it in a bowl and you use a spoon
Yummy!
We make buttermilk pie too!😄
Pretty cool vid, I live right by the Tudors you showed in the footage in Fayetteville. Biscuits and gravy is fantastic as are the peprolls. We also do a lot of wild game meat substitute into standard recipes like deer chili, bear stew, etc.. I really wish I could have met you guys, we used your guys vids as our primary guide for our first European trip 2 years ago, big fan.
Scrapple is more of Pennsylvania thing and or northern panhandle
❤️👍
Ahhhhh a pepperoni roll looks amazing! I’m far from WV but hopefully I can go out there one day. It looks beautiful and the food looks so fun
I hope you do go there. It is such a beautiful place!
You can make them yourself! Get some pillsburry crescent rolls some motzerella cheese and some pepperoni's and split open the crescent rolls before you bake them. Put the cheese and pepperoni inside! Not as great as what you'll get at some of the restaurants but it's a good, easy way to get the flavor for them at home!
I live in wv I love living in West Virginia never had chicken fried steak
Almost ALL of the things you've let us in on in this video look SO GOOD!!!
Hello Jennifer how are you doing
Sorry. I like sugar in my cornbread and my parents were from Fayette and Raleigh counties in southwestern West Virginia.
Harriet and I are planning a trip to West Virginia soon. We live next door in Virginia. We love our biscuits and gravy. It's there loss. Thanks again Jocelyn for a nice Vlog. Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va
*pepperoni rolls* - Stick or sliced? Which do y’all prefer?
Stick, easier to eat!
@@WoltersWorldEats I’ve had only two pepperoni rolls while in WV and both were the stick version. Love that they are the Italian miner’s equivalent of the Cornish pasty. 👍
Stick
Yes you might take the girl out of the mountains of WV but you can’t take the mountain state out of the girl. Little note married in 1972, went to southern NC. Was going to make hubby chili and no pinto beans they didn’t really know what I wanted - kidney beans they said? No! mom had to send me a case. Too funny.
How’d you forget about morels? lol it’s a big deal here…at least here in north central wv and then there is the hot pepper butter 😋
Thank you!! We rely on y'all to add to the list.
@@WoltersWorldEats they have a festivals around here for morels and ramps. Enjoyed the content, keep it up
Love morel hunting
@@MarkTrickett-qc1ms still not found any hunting grounds in my area lol
I live in West Virginia
Mothmeat!
😆
Gluten free pancakes sound great
Thank you for not liking sugar in your cornbread.
Jocelyn : I just love watching your video's, I wish you and your hubby would go on a U.S.A. tour or food and things to see . you are very good at what you do .. Thank you Frank from montana.
.
Thanks, Frank. It's tough to find time for a big trip with kids though. 😆
@@WoltersWorldEats what ever you do I will watch and do thumbs up ,, when you think about it all we are doing is watching ! You and your husband are spending the time and money to do all this, why should we all not thumbs up, and SUBSCRIBE after all it is free to all of us . you know what they say " one hand washes the other " get it ? Keep up the good work. THANK you Frank from montana...
@@frankmarullo228 that's very kind pf you, thank you. 😊
It's a shame there are people in the world that turn up their noses at biscuits and gravy. They don't know what they are missing
AMEN, B&G is amazing!
I wouldn't say I turn my nose up at biscuits and gravy but I have never been a fan of gravy (maybe it goes back to my mother being a bad cook and making gravy on a regular basis). However I am always willing to give something new a try and when we visit West Viginia (one of 3 states I have not been to) I will give them a try.
@@johndornoff yeah, bad gravy can do that. Greasy.... Yuck.
@@johndornoff you'll live WV! Such a lovely state with kind people. Good gravy makes all the difference!
I turn up my nose to get a better sniff.
I would rather eat in Europe.
Her voice though 😉
Is amazing
*Carolina style hot dog* - West Virginians must hate the fact that the rest of the country calls a hot dog with chili, slaw, onions and mustard *Carolina style* or a *Carolina slaw dog.* 😆
Shhh. You'll upset both states.
One of the differences is there is a difference within WV regarding slaw. There's even an unofficial dividing line "8 miles south of Clarksburg". In the northern part of WV, if they have slaw available at all, you have to ask for it. Southern WV is where slaw is standard.
@@wessparkmon2395 Cool. I did a search on WVHD coleslaw recipes. Looks the same as most Mayo slaws. *What’s the difference?*
@@tosht2515I know this is old but maybe you will see it. Everyone’s slaw is a little bit different, some people even do “yellow slaw”. I find most recipes are mayo based. If it’s not super finely shredded & creamy I don’t want it haha and no carrots 🥴
As a West Virginian, I can we are not mad about it, we don’t even know about it 😅 & why would we care? Our states divided like the civil war over slaw dogs lmao
Scrapple is from Delaware smh
I’m originally from West Virginia and I grew up in a lot of vegetables and once in a while some meat from pancakes not a bowls of oatmeal and the food you’re talking about I’ll put you 6 feet under while wearing 450 pounds
Cornbread with sugar in it is not cornbread. I never understood that. It’s cake made with corn meal. Ugh.
😆
Almost every american i ever talked to told me west virginia sucks and told me to never waste my time and money going there.
Well, as an American who travels prolifically all over the world, I will tell you it is a beautiful state. Particularly the New River Gorge National Park area. Fall and Spring are just lovely.
West Virginia one of the worst states in our country
