BIG SHOUT OUT TO OUR Y&F LEGENDS MEMBERS:
Mohammed Soliman, - บันเทิง
That “Fix your face” went RIGHT over the heads. They clearly don’t know much about the South and its Southerners. It gives me flashbacks hearing that lol! It’s considered impolite and having bad manners if you make a disgusted face when eating a Southerner’s food. When you’re over someone‘s house, and you’re having dinner there, you don’t really like how it tastes BUT you have a Southern mama, you’ll most definitely get a “Fix your face” quietly but sternly, or you’ll get a “Fix your face” look- no words need to be said to understand 😂
Sounds like how I grew up in an Asian household. If anyone showed disgust, we'd get told off.
these rules were invented by bad lazy cooks with an over inflated ego. you cant get offended if not every person on earth likes every single thing you cook
Yeah, but the point of their videos that they're reacting to food and giving their honest first impressions and opinions. If they fake pretend to like it, that wouldn't be an authentic reaction. So I think this is kind of a different scenario versus going to someone's house to eat.
Collards are fantastic! But you cook them with a ham hock or turkey leg or bacon and garlic, a little sugar, and spices and a touch of vinegar to take the bitter away. I swear you would eat a whole bowl with corn bread. 🤌. That cook there made them so eclectic that it would be hard for non southerners who didn’t grow up on them to enjoy.
My grandmother made them with bacon and garlic. She was from W Virginia.
I never eat collard greens by themselves...cooking them right, and eating them either with vinegar, or chow chow (a Southern relish) cuts the bitterness. I personally prefer kale greens to collard greens. Kale isn't nearly as bitter, and can be cooked like collards. With chow chow, kale is Devine.
I always add a bit of hot sauce to mine, they're delicious.
Sounds lovely but not the sugar
Ugh… No, they’re not. They taste like lawn clippings.
I'm mostly British but I grew up in the South. After visiting Britain and trying their food, I'm so glad my family immigrated 400 years ago in search of flavor! lol
Grits are stone ground corn. Greens are like kale or Swiss Chard. I eat them EVERYDAY. They are no more of an acquired taste than spinach, broccoli or any other vegetable. They are also a nutritional powerhouse. I also blend them in my smoothies.
Some people have greens topped with chopped onion and hot cherry peppers.
Grits are a type of large-kernel corn called hominy. It is an Indigenous food item used throughout Southern North America, Central and South America.
Peanuts are not nuts but legumes. Pecans are tree nuts from North America.
Grits with real butter, maple syrup and a dash of salt is the best way to start breakfast (followed by eggs, corned beef hash (with tobasco!) or bacon or sausage and some hash browns. A large OJ and then a cup of coffee rounds it out)
🤢 BLECH…😊
I can do spinach, but brussel sprouts and collards 😳😳😳🤮
I think it's important to know / remember that there is a certain level of customer service that is expected in the United States. Yes, are people in the service industry whose livelihood relies on tips, so the better their customer service is, the better their tips can be. But there is also a lot of customer service positions that are not tipped. If you go into a store, the expectation is to be greeted and asked if you need any assistance.
Santana seems like the type of person who would have Supply that level of customer service whether she was in a tipped profession or not. She has what appears to be a naturally warm, outgoing, and naturally social personality. And I would not be surprised if her personality influences her profession, rather than her profession influencing her personality.
Yeah. I can tell from the way she talks, that's just her natural demeanor. She's not just being nice for tips. These types always make THE best waiters/waitresses.
But even the ones that aren't this overtly friendly are going to provide good service. Just not above and beyond like she's going to.
seeing brits and Europeans love southern cuisine warms my heart. please come to the south. we will love on you
I'm borne and raised in the South and I Love collard greens 🥗 and don't cook them with lemons I add a little sugar to cut the bitterness you would like mine and Maze is what the American Native Indians called corn. Can't wait to see you guys in America 🇺🇸 is please visit the South.
Cooked with a ham hock and a little vinegar and sugar, salt and pepper....
@@jimglascoYeah, I cook them with a hambone.
@@IceKnight81 We eat polk salad as well....gotta be safe when preparing polk as it's poisonous.
Remember to pace yourselves when eating in the U.S. The greatest thing about our food is the variety . I live in a college town in Kentucky and can choose from 4 different Asian cuisines , 3 different Latin American , Indian , Greek , Italian , eastern Euro or just down home Southern Country Style. All are within a 15 minute drive , just take your pick.
London isn't exactly a backwater. You can find all types of cuisine in Britain too.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 College town in Kentucky is. Which is why it’s more impactful that you can get all those types of cuisine there.
Collard greens are in the same family as mustard greens
Family owned restaurants from Texas to West Virginia are just the BEST of the South!!!
Usually the best foods are family owned and off the beaten path away from everything.
Stay away from tourist or busy areas for food and fun.
I'm an old man and the best food and fun I've found is always in the middle of nowhere.
Yes, I can tell you as someone who has family from the South. My family originated from South Carolina. Though I grew up in the North in New York. Yeah, that southern hospitality is legit
One thing to remember in the US is that restaurants have tipped and non-tipped employees. Non-tipped are paid whatever the prevailing wage is (cooks busboys etc). Tipped employees are paid a much lower hourly wage plus tips. Bartenders and servers are tipped employees so they count on tips. The standard is 15-20%. Less if something sucked and more if it was great. Most tipped employees make far more with tips than they would if paid even $20 an hour. Friend is a server at a mid-range seafood chain and his avg is $35-45 an hour when tips included.
Also you do NOT need to tip at counter service places like Starbucks, fast food, or takeout (usually). Employees at those places are NOT classified as tipped employees and are paid prevailing wage which here is $12-$17 an hour to start. So do not feel shamed into tipping at those places unless you feel somebody just went above and beyond.
Drivers/delivery drivers yes a few bucks (3-$5).
there are uneducated waitresses who make more than british doctors lol. if you work at a high end resturant you are getting at least 25-50 per table. with at least 10-20 tables a shift.
Tipping is NOT a requirement. There's no government, state, county, or city law in place stating you have to tip. So there is no "standard" 15-20%. Could say average is 10-20% but depending on service, could be higher or lower.
@@rdramos13 if you go to a restaurant in the US and you know about tipped employees and barring something egregious and you don’t tip, you’re just a Jack a$s.
@shag139 Could be a jackhole, or every other cuss word in the book, but you still DON'T HAVE TO TIP. Tipping is a bonus for good service, not a requirement. Service is what gets as much attention as food. Place associated with poor service, won't have much return customers. So who cares if a tip is not left, you won't be going back to that restaurant/business again anyways.
@@rdramos13 if you cant afford to tip, you shouldnt be eating out. if a place is so bad the service is consistently terrible, why are you eating there? An able person isnt legally obligated to give up a seat for a pregnant woman but we are all going to think youre a selfish scumbag if you dont.
These are the type of places people need to go to when they visit, rather than the usual going to all the various fast food restaurants. A biscuit or fried chicken at a place like this is vastly superior to even the best fast food restaurant.
This is partly why Jolly is so successful. Yes, they go to chains. But they mix it up by going to great mom and pop restaurants.
Collard greens are extremely varied by region even in the same state for example they had Savannah style i am from the Piedmont region of Georgia and we prepare it completely differently no lemon with bits of country style bacon and ham in a bit of vinegar sometimes a drop of bourbon.
Most people in the south do not put lemon in their collard greens. They usually cook them with something like ham hock, bacon, etc.. They are really good if they are fixed that way.
You need to do a reaction regarding southern cooking or soul food. Alvin and Jolly have been to several of these places in the south.
Just so you know when you come to see us in the south, there is a Buccee's in Florence, SC, which is not too far from Myrtle Beach, SC. This restaurant in Savannah is very close to Hilton Head Island SC and the Golden Isles on the coast of GA. Beautiful country, beautiful beaches, beautiful food, beautiful people and hospitality. Y'all come on down.
This restaurant and the breakfast place where they tried Biscuits and gravy are both in Savannah Georgia.
I waitressed when I was in college and I prefer being tipped. With tips and hourly wage, I made over $20/hr. and that was over 20 years ago.
Exactly.
$20 an hour over 20 years ago goes further than $20 an hour now a days. Just remember that!
@@jakesanchez7235
Just remember, a waiter/waitress who made $20 an hour 20 years ago, will probably be making $30 or more an hour now.
@jakesanchez7235 Don't forget meals, goods, and services are more expensive, thus the potential tips are larger than 20 years ago. A server with great customer service skills can make more than the salaried manager from tips. If the business has a great local or national brand, I always prefer jobs with tips or commissions plus small base salary because the earnings potential is greater.
@@tyreedillardI don't like commission sales (from either side - buying or selling) because there's incentive to sell people things they don't need, which is obnoxious. Tips are different.
I hate regular pickles but I love the sweet and spicy pickles you get in bbq restaurants.
They don’t taste like regular pickles. They sit in a sweet and spicy liquid so they aquire that flavor.
I love a tart pickle. A nice tart and flavorful pickle.
I believe I’ve never met a pickle I didn’t like.
More jolly food reactions
There's great fried chicken ALL over the US. As a fried chicken lover myself, you will enjoy yourself here.
Collard greens are not traditionally prepared the way this lady makes them
They are a green leafy vegetable that are boiled with hamhocks ,bacon bits.The grease and salty ham give them a vary pleasing taste,not sour
I've had them salty, sour and pleasant all in 1 and it was pretty good. Had it near Pleasant Point in Charleston.
@@BlueDebut
My maternal grandparents came from the Ozarks(Missouri) and my paternal grandparents had roots in Oklahoma and Arkansas. I grew up eating them with hamhocks or bacon cooked in. Must be regional differences
The secret to good grits is to make sure they've been cooked long enough. It's like pasta, it is easier to eat when it's fully cooked. 😁
Coffee cake does not usually have coffee in it.. it is just a good sweet to serve with Coffee.
That dude turned straight American when he ate the sweet potato and said arrrrr baby!!! Lol!!
They were eating "Country Fried STEAK", sometimes called "Chicken Fried STEAK".
It's a BEEF steak that's battered and fried like fried chicken.
I notice a lot of Brits assume if it's breaded and fried like that it must be chicken, if something has chunks in it, like sausage gravy, they assume the chunks are "veg", and a creamy gravy or sauce must be cheese!
No that was "Country Fried CHICKEN", sometimes called "Chicken Fried CHICKEN".
She clearly says it is chicken and you can clearly see it is chicken when they cut into it.
@@SidewaysTAno, it was a chicken fried steak. You dunno what you’re talking about.
@@AzulApe Nope, it was Country Fried Chicken. They LITERALLY DO NOT have Chicken Fried Steak on the menu. You need to learn what chicken looks like versus steak my friend.
@@SidewaysTA lmao, you are clueless. You dunno cubed steak vs chicken. 🤣
I never smile so much as when I watch your reactions; you have a great variety of videos and always have interesting insights.
GREAT Reaction Guys
Baked sweet potatoes are so good!! I eat the peel and everything. They're also fantastic cut in bite sized pieces, tossed in olive oil and baked. 😋
You all are fun to watch… remember in your planning to factor in distances…Austin Texas (Terry Black’s BBQ) to Savanah Georgia (this video) is 17 hours /1,129 miles. You may want to focus on one area to avoid spending all your time in transit.
Collard Greens is a bit of a semi bitter tasting vegetable but to take away and cutdown that Semi Bitter taste it's best to cook the Collard Greens in a tall soup pot with Chicken Broth/Stock with pieces of Bacon or Ham and 1 whole stick of Butter and after cooking season it with Pepper and Garlic Salt....then you have Collard Greens that one cannot stop eating until it's all gone. 🤤🤤😋😋
I am from the American south and I don’t like collards. I love sweet potato any way you cook it. Corn pudding is delicious
Collards greens are my absolute favorite. It's best cooked with fat back meat (pork) or if you want to go healthy smoked turkey is the best meat. It's best with vinegar, salt for seasoning, and crushed red pepper. Other veggies that are in the family include turnip greens, cabbage, kale, and mustard greens. They are cooked the same way and they are all bitter in taste but so good.
Grits are most commonly prepared for breakfast with butter and salt/pepper. Some people prepare it with maple syrup/brown sugar or honey/butter or a fruit syrup. Shrimp and grits is served usually for lunch or dinner. The shrimp is cooked with butter and/or oil (sometimes bacon grease), garlic, onion, sometimes bell pepper, and various herbs and spices such as basil, oregano, chili powder. It varies throughout the South.
Grits are chopped up Hominey which is a type of Maze corn. Hominey is sold in cans also. It’s also the main ingredient in Menudo, Mexican soup.
A Maize zing 🌽
It’s ground, not chopped.
South really does have amazing food.
This is in my hometown of Savannah! Always cool to see someone else celebrate your city.
Omg.. This vid popped up on my feed and I was smiling becase I love Jolly so much. The "couple" in the caption got me 😂 And Josh does looks like Jim Carrey, it's an on going joke/tease with him.. Olly is just so genuine and cannot hide his opinion and feelings even to save his life and we love him for it! ❤
The "best" food is not just in the south. There is food like this all over the US. Small country cafe to big food cities like New York, Chicago, Portland OR.
You may not find sweet potato pie in the north but we have pumpkin pie.
No alligator meat up north but we have Bison steaks in Montana, and reindeer sausage in Alaska. Fresh Salmon and King Crab in Anchorage and Seattle. Fresh lobster in Maine and New England states. It goes on and on.
Grits is short for hominy grits because it’s made from dried and ground hominy corn which is corn that’s been treated in a way that makes it more digestible. Grits as eaten is a sort of porridge. Porridge though is a word that only exists in nursery rhymes here though. Oatmeal is oatmeal. Cream of wheat is cream of wheat. Grits is grits. Polenta or cream of wheat would be the closest things to grits.
Also, “homely” is not a compliment here.
You might have been thinking of broccoli rabe{also called Rapini} is a veg that a lot of Italians like and it is similar to Collard Greens in that they both have a bitter taste which is why you usually eat them with lemon or garlic and olive oil, which help to balance the bitterness
This is soul food, collard greens, yams, fried chicken. African American cultural cuisine
When traveling from Ohio to Florida to visit my relatives, I stopped in South Carolina to try this restaurant. The food and service was amazing! The banana pudding was excellent but I fell in love with their coconut cake. 😍😍😍
Needless to say, I had to hit the gym extra hard (for a couple of weeks) to work off that trip. 😆
The pickles sounded a lot like "bread and butter" pickles which is a combination sweet and dill or in the middle between a sweet pickle and dill pickle.
Banana pudding is a religious experience
Jolly is my favorite channel ever!! Thanks for reacting
We do fried chicken well here. You wouldn’t think a single style of preparing chicken would be so versatile, but there are so many meals involving fried chicken you really have to come and see what your favorite is (not to mention the variety of sauces and gravies).
Every southern state is great. Those are known as sweet pickles.
I never heard of collards being cooked with lemon. I think it's more traditional to use a little vinegar and they're delicious.
A good southern cook knows that if the collard greens are still bitter, you didn’t do it right. Ducky doesn’t know what he’s talking about. And as a someone who has been to this restaurant, their greens and fried chicken, and cornbread are jokes.
I live in Alabama usa. If you soak your chicken in buttermilk or sour milk. Season the milk with whatever spices. Soak for an hour. Flour and fry. Perfect fried chicken.
Collards are not sour, it is like cabbage, but greener, I put sugar in mind
The collards greens aren't supposed to be sour. I cook mine with smoked turkey and chicken broth. More often than not collard greens are delicious, it depends on who makes them. Most black people (including me) cook them with smoked pork or turkey. I like mine a little spicy so I put crushed red pepper in them.
Collard greens are best cooked with smoked Turkey leg of ham hocks bacon shot of vinegar yummy! Texture kinda like spinach
In the event I HAD to compare collard greens to another vegetable, it would be spinach.
And I concur with other comments here that they’re awesome when prepared certain ways.
In addition, fried ochra is ALWAYS awesome. It has a fairly neutral flavor, and what doesn’t taste great when it’s battered and deep-fried? Hell…
We even eat bull testicles prepared like that here in the states! (Tenderly sliced, though. Not the COMPLETE ball!)
everyone cooks their collards differently; in the south they use more vinegar.. i do not put vinegar in mine neither did mom who was from Georgia.. just some salted water, smoked pork hock or smoked neckbone or turkey butt and boil until tender,, add pepper or some bacon fat at the end.. yummmmmm
I live in North Florida. My wife and I decided to spend a weekend in Savannah to eat at Sweet Potatoes restaurant after watching this episode from Jolly. Totally legit! Added bonus, was staying in a historic hotel on the river downtown. History, beautiful buildings from the 1700s, views, restaurants, river cruises, just a brilliant place to visit. We can't wait to get back! Oh, and I'm NOT a fan of banana pudding, but their's is to die for! Best I've ever had.
I have lived in South Carolina my entire life and wouldn’t dream of moving. You have to visit Savanah Ga. and Charleston, SC. The food is ridiculously good and the people are friendly and welcoming. Not to mention they are beautiful cities steeped in history. We’d love to have you visit.
There was no mention of it in the video, but the left of Josh was a narrow bottle of pepper sauce. My favorite brand is Trappey’s. I use it on a LOT of things, but especially on collrd greens and spinach. MMM MMM GOOD! 🇺🇸
I like grits with butter sugar and fried shrimp lol
@8:49 its hilarious how they dint even catch her joke, I grew up with that accent so got it immediately , and by other culture she meant Native American for maize lol
Grits = ground up corn meal.. just like we have oat meal, but it's made with corn and it has a more gravely like texture. I personally don't really care for grits but if you mix in a lot of butter or something else to give it taste. it's not that bad.
Collard Greens are usually doused with some vinegar. Its kind of like steamed spinach. and yes acquired taste
Both the southern states and Midwestern states love multi generational, ma and pa restaurants some restaurants are over 100 years old and still delicious. 🤤 ❤ I love sweet potato casserole and butternut squash and dill pickles yummy. Always ask the local people where to go for food and for shopping and stuff.
Collards are a bit bitter, especially older greens, but they don't have to be once cooked, I think they add lemon to theirs which I've NEVER done but that just makes a slightly bitter vegetable more bitter..
When I make sweet potatoes I use cinnamon, brown sugar and butter, wrap it in aluminum foil with butter to cook too
and it isn't hard to make a banana pudding lol, not once had any taste different unless someone used too rotten bananas lol
the sweet potato with pecans and marshmallows easy and classic too
Guys There. Are A. Lot of these In The North also.
If you go just to the South you're really missing out on a lot of great food. And service.
Savannah, GA is my home town and Sweet Potatoes has amazing food. Also so much to see in Savannah, very historical and the food is so good.
When you want great Mexican food, be sure to have it in a "boarder State". California, Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico. The closer you are to the boarder (of Mexico), the better the Mexican good will be.
I've lived in Nashville, Tennessee for 19 years. Southern comfort food is pretty wonderful. I love Peach Cobbler (served warm is best). Fried pickles are much better than you'll think they are.
Looking gorward to your travel blogs near the end of the year. Cheers!
That's Josh Carrot and he can speak fluent Korean and married to a Korean who grew up in the different part of the world like USA, Spain and France. She's a chef and good cook. Please also subscribed to Josh other TH-cam channel Korean englishman and he also with Olly
That little bottle with the green chillies and vinegar goes on the collards ✌️
The spices put in the breading is what makes it taste so good
I didn't like collards growing up because the traditional onion, ham hock, vinegar style was too sour for me: we eat them on New Year's Day along with black eyed peas for money and luck in the coming year, it I could only choke down a spoonful of the greens part. No wonder I was broke as a young adult 🤣 Then I went to a potluck where someone had stewed them with tomatoes, garlic, brown sugar, and a little kick of cayenne, and fell in love with them! Zero fat, only a little sugar, and all those nutrients. Wow!
Collard Greens are not bitter. We cook it down in olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper.
You guys would absolutely love NY or Philly. - Every food done well that you can think of.
We do our collards with bacon, not lemon. Grits are ground hominy corn. Our local catfish house makes biscuits so good they'll make a puppy pull a freight train.
Collards are made several ways in the south ... BACON Grease, Salt & Pepper, boiled in water - drained and served with or without sauces of different styles. GREAT!
That’s the way I cook collards.
I am in my 60s and have never heard of lemons in collard greens but to each his own.
Nothing better than some fried catfish and greens
Myth: Waitstaff are friendly because they are hoping to get larger tips. Americans are friendly by nature. I know a lot of people from other countries don't understand how this is possible, and are even skeptical, often claiming we're being fake, but, no, we're being friendly. Unfriendly service is the outlier, in my opinion. Why are you in customer service if you don't enjoy serving customers? I was in customer service and I loved my job, my customers, and my fellow employees, why wouldn't I be happy? One customer, he was from a European country (which shall go unspecified) yelled at me, "WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SMILING!?" When the shock of the direct "accusation" wore off I simply repeated what I just said, it's a great job and so are my customers and my fellow employees, and, to cap it all off, I'm just a happy guy!
Collard greens are delicous when cooked well, and you have to add a pepper sauce!
Fried Chicken is a popular food throughout the entire Southeast United States.
The South or/and the South East where I live has the nicest people and the best food in America.
Nothing like a good fish fry - homemade biscuits, cheese grits, and fried catfish caught that very day - nothing better!
Yes go to Savannah! I use to live there and Sweet Potato’s is great. Savannah has sooo many amazing restaurants. Plus there’s also a lot to see and do.
Love me some collards! Cook with a ham hock and sprinkle on some pepper vinegar and you got a meal!
collards with some fat back is fing amazing then add some vinegar at the end when u eat OMG
Sweet potatoes are very common in Texas, and you'll be able to find that with your BBQ.
Almost every server ive ever met prefers the tipping method over getting a good hourly wage... Cause the tipping depends on the service your provide and if you are a great server, you have no reason to take $20/hr when tips can be upwards to $50/hr... in some cases even higher depending on the quality of the restuaraunt
Collard greens are delicious if cooked correctly. I don’t add lemon but will add hot sauce
Try the Banana Puddin'! And correct there is no "G" on the end in the South
Southern soul food is so good.
You can’t go wrong on a food tour of the states
GUYS, GUYS, GUYS... Collard Greens ARE NOT very bitter when cooked the properly. They are generally more savory than those. They are a large, rough, fibrous plante, so they have to be cooked down until tender usually with smoked ham hock or smoked turkey. Then seasoned and a pinch of sugar can be added to balance them. The waitress should have told you to pinch off some of the cornbread, then mash with the collard greens and eat them together! This is how Black Southerners prepare/eat collard greens.
Also, I HAVE NEVER ADDED LEMON TO COLLARD GREENS. That was my first time hearing that.
The greens I add all my cajun seasonings garlic onion vinegar and sugar and bacon with hanhocks that cuts the bitterness and are BoMB
Yummy 😋
Try brined pork chops with sweet potatoes. My personal favorite. Thanks for straightening out my Fish and Chips. I have leveled up!
Pecan pie is actuality something the south is best known for
Great now i want a big soul food dinner on Sunday…I need to talk my hubby into making his mamas dressing 😂
I absolutely love these videos like this most foreigners watch these guys to I guess from their honesty an hilarious reactions. Let me just say I don't think people in world realize that only natives there is our native American who have their own specialty of food. An 8n ever part of this country is every nationality of people from different parts of world an cultures the diversity in America is second to no one. An good part is once they bring their culture here they put a American twist to it. An although the original recipes maybe good where they may not have been excepted in their home country Americans take it an run with an twist itbto perfection. Good example is texmex now Mexican food is good in Mexico an texmex would never be seen in Mexico but that twist of Mexican American is second to none an we wouldn't have it any other way. May God forever bless the united states which means freedom for all people in the world.
I cant wait to see your faces when you guys finally try our food; Fats might even start crying
